Not a Trainer This Time Chapter 181

Chapter 181 Summer Festival

 At two o'clock in the afternoon, as soon as Kelly arrived at the ranch, she saw a huge hole in the lawn.

A look of astonishment appeared on her face: "Did a meteorite hit this place?"

 Naoki: “…”

Guluton on the side lowered his head, not intentionally.

Seeing this scene, Keri was even more surprised: "Is this done by Gulton? It is so powerful!"

"I asked Gu Ledun to show me the move." Naoki said helplessly: "I didn't expect that move to be so powerful."

 He was pushing a cart, which contained a cart of soil that he and Gulton had just dug from the mountain to fill the hole.

Zhi Shu overturned the cart and dumped all the soil into the pit. After tossing it back and forth several times, he managed to level the land.

 But the turf here was blown away by Gulton's full-speed collision, and it looked bare, in sharp contrast to the surrounding environment.

Zhi Shu thought for a while, turned around, took out a bag of grass seeds, and scattered them evenly on the ground. Then he called the goats that were enjoying the shade under the shed and asked them to help take care of the grass here.

Let the grass grow quickly. After all, a bald spot doesn't look good.

This was very simple for the mount goats. The three of them immediately surrounded the land and began to inject green grass energy into it.

 “Hoo!”

 Hand out his hand to touch the head of the goat he was riding, Naoki looked back and saw Keli starting to work with a few strange powers.

During this period, they had dug a large square pit and laid out the prototype of a cellar with moisture-proof building materials and wooden boards.

Keli was very busy over there, and Naoki had no intention of being idle.

He cut off all the sunflower disks from the last harvest, dried them in the sun, and then used several Pokémon to peel off the dried sunflower seeds.

Three fields of sunflowers produced five large boxes of sunflower seeds.

With nothing to do now, Naoki moved the boxes to the kitchen and started frying sunflower seeds, preparing to make all of them into melon seeds and store them in a vacuum for later eating.

By the time Naoki roasted all the five large boxes of sunflower seeds, time had passed on May 31st.

 This day is the day when the Summer Festival is held.

 At eight o'clock in the evening, people will gather on the beach west of Zhiqin Town to watch the fireworks show in the sky.

“Hey, Naoki, don't forget to watch the fireworks tonight!” Zach reminded him loudly as he moved several buckets of milk to the truck.

“I remember it.” Naoki naturally did not forget it. He was looking forward to it. After all, he had only seen this kind of festival in anime before.

Like the Ho-Oh Festival in Enju City in the Johto area, there are singers singing and performing the legend of the Ho-oh and Lugia in a drama.

“That's fine.” Zach grinned. He was about to say something, but his eyes suddenly noticed the blue overalls Naoki was wearing: “Wearing this kind of clothes is not suitable for participating in the summer festival!”

Zhishu was slightly startled.

 Zach: “You should change into traditional costumes for the festival!”

Naoki: "..." Can he say that he was not prepared?

"Looking at you, you must be unprepared, right?" Zach grinned and said, "At this time, the shops in the town should have been closed, so be it! I have a set at home, which belongs to my nephew. He didn't wear it. Come on, I'll bring it to you later!”

Zhi Shu waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no, no, I'll just go back and change into clean clothes."

 Zach frowned: "How can that be done? It's only once a year, so we have to take it seriously!"

Naoki: "...Okay."

“That's right!” Zach patted him on the shoulder happily: “Wait, I'll bring it to you when I get back!”

Watching the other party's figure go away, Naoki returned to the house, took a simple shower and changed into clean clothes.

Then he called all the Pokémon in the pasture over: "Does anyone want to go to the Summer Festival with me?"

 “Woo!”

Several lively and naughty Mysterosaurus and Hackron responded immediately.

 “Very good!” Naoki nodded and looked at the other Pokémon.

 So Luton and Motorized Lizard are naturally willing to go, and so is Kuailongbu Woodchuck.

 Shuang Naixian, Yan Shi Lei, Bing Yibu, and Bad Butterfly also want to join in the fun.

At the end, all the Pokémon in the ranch were collected into the Poké Ball, including Three Bees and Big Milk Tank.

　　Only Guledon, Hackron and the Mini Dragons were left outside.

 Looking at the pile of heavy Poké Balls in his pocket, Naoki felt slightly absent-minded.

　　It turns out that before he knew it, he had already tamed so many Pokémon!

Putting these Poké Balls into the space backpack, Naoki then turned his attention to the Mini Dragon and Hack Dragon: "Come in? Let me see how you sneaked into my backpack last time."

Three mini dragons and two huck dragons looked over with bright eyes.

They got into the space backpack one by one. After the last Harker entered, they skillfully closed the zipper with their tails.

However, the zipper was not tightened, and there was still a gap. Several Pokémon looked at Naoki outside through the gap.

Zhi Shu was observing the situation of the space backpack.

From the outside, the space backpack did not look bulging at all because of these Hackrons and Mini Dragons. It seemed that the space inside was much larger than he had imagined.

You won't feel too much weight when you carry it. I have to say that the black technology of space backpack is really amazing.

 At this time, a trumpet sounded outside the ranch.

Zhi Shu looked up and saw Zach jumping out of the car and walking over carrying a packaging bag.

 “Here, put it on! It's half past six, you can go!”

Naoki reached out to take it, opened the bag, and saw a gray kimono inside.

“I won't go with you. My wife and youngest son are still waiting for me at home!” Zach grinned, waved to Zhishu, then turned and left the pasture.

 Naoki: “…”

 He went back to the room reluctantly and changed into this kimono.

The first time he wore this kind of clothes, Naoki felt a little uncomfortable. It took him a while to get used to it.

 “Let's go!” He took a deep breath, put on his space backpack, and rode on Gulton, feeling excited and looking forward to it.

 “Ah gah!”

Huluton responded, opened his legs and started running in the direction of Ziqin Town.

By the time they arrived at the beach, there were already many people and Pokémon gathered here.

By this time, the sky had completely darkened, and people were lying or sitting in groups, chatting with their families and Pokémon.

Not far away, there is a street of stalls decorated with lights and colorful decorations, with all kinds of things on the stalls.

 There are steaming takoyakis, souvenirs carved from wood, and masks of various shapes.

Seeing this scene, Naoki raised his eyebrows slightly.

 It was still some time before the fireworks show started, so he simply took Gu Lerton to go shopping there.

 The crowd around him surged like a tide.

The young child being led by his parents, the young boy with Pikachu standing on his shoulder, the old man with gray hair and a stooped waist and the twist dog following him, the girl with bright eyes when she saw the takoyaki and her Gengar...

 In the dim lights, Zhi Shu and Gu Ledun also merged into the lively atmosphere.

 Zhi Shu stopped in front of the small stall selling masks.

At the stall, he saw various masks.

There are Pikachu, Eevee, the demon fox Zoroa, and even a Squirtle. Seeing the guests arriving, the boss had a bright smile on his face: "These masks suit you very well. Do you want to buy one? It only costs 2,000 alliance coins!"

  2000…

The price was not expensive, so Naoki simply paid the price and chose Zoroa's mask.

 Zhi Shu put the mask on his face, looked back at Gu Ledun, and asked, "How is it?"

Huluton smiled and narrowed his eyes, looking very happy: "Ah, geez~"

 “It suits you very well!” the boss on the side praised.

Zhi Shu pursed his lips and smiled. At this time, a shouting sound not far away attracted his attention.

He led Gu Ledun through the crowd, and then he saw a middle-aged uncle wearing a red hat at a stall.

There is a large transparent fish tank on his stall, and a group of dull-eyed Magikarp are slowly swimming in the fish tank.

Seeing someone being attracted, the uncle immediately shouted:

“Hey, this guest! Do you want one? My Magikarp are very talented Pokémon! You will definitely not suffer any loss if you buy it!”

 Zhi Shu is both familiar and unfamiliar with this situation.

He was familiar because he had seen the uncle selling Magikarp in anime, but strange because this was the first time he saw him in reality.

This made Naoki very curious: "Is there anything special about your Carp King?"

Hearing this, the uncle immediately said with joy:

"Of course! These are extremely rare Magikarp! Each one was carefully selected by me and has very high talent. After they evolve into Gyarados, they can help the guests punch you. The owner of the museum has kicked the Four Heavenly Kings!"

Zhishu twitched the corner of his mouth. Before he could speak, a trainer holding a cloth on the side said:

“What you said is so false. You sound like a liar at first glance. How could there be such a Carp King in the world?”

Being called a liar, the uncle was not worried at all. He just smiled and said: "If you don't believe it, buy one and try it! See if it can evolve into a Gyarados!"

 “I don't want it!” The young man made a face, turned around and ran away.

 The man's head was covered with black lines: “You stinky brat!”

 Naoki: “…”

At this time, the man's sharp eyes noticed the backpack carried behind the young man in front of him.

Through the gap in the zipper, he saw several pairs of eyes observing him curiously.

　　After seeing clearly the appearance of the owner of those eyes, the man suddenly took a breath of cold air and exclaimed in disbelief: "Mini dragon!"

Zhi Shu was stunned for a moment, and then realized that the mini dragon in his backpack had been discovered.

 The man's eyes were fiery: "So many mini dragons! Where did you catch them?"

"I didn't catch them." Naoki shook his head: "They followed me on their own."

"How is that possible?!" The man was stunned: "This is a rare mini dragon! I am willing to pay a high price to buy one, will you sell it?!"

 “I won't sell it!” Naoki shook his head and refused without hesitation.

 “What about the exchange?” As he said that, the man took out an elf ball.

 With a flash of white light, a Spiny Dragon King appeared in the water tank in front of him.

 “I will trade my Thorn Dragon King with you for a mini dragon, is that okay?”

"No." Naoki ruthlessly rejected the other party: "You'd better not think about it, I will never exchange it."

The man suddenly felt disappointed and looked at the other person's back as he turned and left, his eyes full of envy.

“It's true, there are actually people who exchange Pokémon here.” Naoki couldn't help but complain to Gu Ledun: “What do you think they are thinking about?”

 Guluton: "Ah, ghastly..."

　　"Forget it, let's not talk about them." Naoki turned his schoolbag over and carried it in front of him. He opened the zipper so that the mini dragon and hack dragon inside could come out for air.

 After walking around for a while, Naoki felt a little tired, so he bought a dozen takoyaki, and then took Gu Ledun to a relatively spacious beach with no people around.

 “Everyone, come out!”

 He took out the Pokémon Ball, and with a flash of white light, Pokémon appeared on the beach one after another.

Pokémon such as Frosty, Bad Butterfly, Ice Eevee, and Motorized Lizard had never seen sand before, so they quickly started playing crazily on this beach.

Zhi Shu took out a picnic cloth from his backpack and spread it on the ground. While he put the takoyaki and the tree fruits he brought on it, he turned around and said:

"Don't run too far, just play around here! Guluton, mount the goats, help me keep an eye on them."

 “Ah gah!”

 During this period, other passers-by walked by.

 A little girl was attracted by the many Pokémon here.

 “Wow! Mom, look over there!”

 The woman was chatting with her husband when she heard her daughter's voice and immediately turned around.

  Immediately afterwards, they saw a shocking scene.

"So many Pokémon!" the woman exclaimed. Is this person bringing his family here?

“Brother, are they all your Pokémon?” the little girl asked innocently.

Naoki smiled and nodded: "Yes!"

"Wow! So awesome!" The little girl's eyes were full of fighting spirit: "When I grow up, I will become a very powerful trainer and conquer many, many Pokémon!"

 “Come on!” Naoki encouraged.

Because she had to buy food, the little girl couldn't stay here for too long. She held her mother's hand and waved goodbye to Naoki: "Goodbye, big brother!"

"goodbye!"

Naoki took off Zoroa's mask, then turned around and saw that the Motorized Lizard had begun to build a sandcastle with the Ice Eevee Dragon and the others.

Three big milk cans were also around, playing with the sand excitedly.

Three Bees and Bada Butterfly were not very interested in the sand, so after playing for a while, they returned to Zhishu and landed on the picnic cloth.

Zhishu asked Guluton: "Aren't you going to play with them?"

 “Ah geez.” Luton's tone sounded quite disgusting. It was no longer a child.

Zhishu heard what Gu Ledun meant. He couldn't help laughing when he thought of Gulton's usual behavior.

 Naoki: “Only children sleep with adults.”

Huluton heard the teasing in Naoki's tone, and he was immediately filled with shame and anger, and defended himself: "Ah gah!"

 “Isn't it?”

of course not!

Huluton drooped his head pitifully, and even the feathers on his head wilted.

 It just...just wants to be with Naoki all the time.
