Not a Trainer This Time Chapter 216

Chapter 216 Motorcycle Angel (4k)

 Autumn, August 16, Year 198 of the Alliance Calendar.

Four days before Motor Lizard's birthday, Naoki began to think about what kind of birthday gift would be better to give him.

This is the first time he celebrates a Pokémon's birthday, so there still needs to be a sense of ceremony.

However, Naoki thought about it for a long time, but couldn't think of what kind of gift the Motorized Lizard would like.

 Based on what he knew about the Motorized Lizard, it didn't seem to have anything in particular that it liked or wanted.

 How about cooking the Motorized Lizard his favorite food?

 “No, it can't be done.” Naoki quickly rejected the idea and gave the Motorized Lizard the food it eats every day. This was not considered a birthday gift at all.

 “What about the training device that can help Pokémon become stronger?”

Zhi Shu recalled it carefully and found that the Motorized Lizard's pursuit of becoming stronger was far less exaggerated than that of the Kuailong.

 It may like it, but it only likes it because it is a gift from him, not the gift itself.

So, what better choice is there?

Zhi Shu sat under the eaves, listening to the sweet sound of the wind chimes above his head, but looking at the motorcycle lizards playing in the sun.

 So Luden lay lazily on the side, closing his eyes and taking a nap.

　　Seemingly noticing that Naoki hadn't spoken for a long time, it opened its eyes and looked over, only to see that Naoki was looking in one direction in a trance.

So Leden followed his gaze and saw it holding its tail with tears in its eyes.

A salt stone barrier stood aside with an apologetic face, shaking its head in a panic, as if to say that it didn't mean it.

Seeing that his "mecha" had stopped moving, Frost Milk Fairy, who was standing on top of the salt stone barrier and driving a cart, looked down in confusion.

 “Ah?” Seeing this scene, Ludun was a little confused.

Zhi Shu explained: "Salt Stone Barrier accidentally stepped on the tail of the Motorized Lizard. I went over to take a look."

As he said that, he stood up and walked towards that side.

As soon as Zhishu left, Luton also stood up, shook his body and followed him.

The Frost Milk Fairy has jumped down from the Salt Stone Barrier and is licking the Motorized Lizard's wound.

The movement here attracted the attention of many Pokémon, including Bing Eevee and Bad Butterfly.

Seeing Naoki coming over, the salt stone barrier that accidentally stepped on the motorcycle lizard's tail looked at him apologetically.

"Don't worry, let me take a look." Seeing that it was worried, Naoki first calmed it down, and then took its tail from the Motorized Lizard's hand.

 I saw that the tip of the originally slender tail was now as swollen as a big pig's hoof, and the white skin was slightly red.

 A salt stone barrier weighs more than 230 kilograms, so you can imagine the pain of the Motorized Lizard.

　Its tears were so painful that it cried out.

After a brief inspection, Naoki said to his brother, Ai Tuanshi, who came over: "Bring me the gauze and wound medicine from home, and put them on the cabinet in my bedroom."

 “Aye.” Brother Ai Guanshi nodded calmly, glanced at the motorcycle lizard's tail, then turned and left.

Zhishu held the motorcycle lizard's tail and was about to say something to comfort it, when the weight in his hand suddenly lightened up.

He was stunned for a moment, then looked down and saw a pale severed tail lying quietly in his hand.

 Zhi Shu was stunned on the spot.

 The Pokémon on the side, such as Frost Milk Fairy and Bad Butterfly, saw that the tail of the Motorized Lizard was broken. They looked frightened and immediately let out an exaggerated scream.

 “Mama mama!”

 “Buy?!”

 “Fortress!!”

 Salt Stone Barrier was frightened half to death on the spot. It really didn't mean it!

After a brief moment of confusion, Naoki raised his head and looked at the Motorized Lizard who was obviously feeling better.

 He asked tentatively: "How do you feel now?"

Seeing that everyone was worried about him, Motorized Lizard actually seemed a little embarrassed.

It shook its head and looked at the missing section of its tail in confusion.

 After the tail was broken, it seemed that... it suddenly didn't hurt so much.

 Zhi Shu's eyebrows skipped a beat.

 Could it be that the Motorized Lizard was stimulated by pain, thus stimulating its potential and comprehending tail docking?

 Tail Break is a general move. Its effect is to reduce physical strength, create a clone and then return to the Poké Ball, and replace it with the backup Pokémon.

In the game, it is a move that only the Motorized Lizard and the Drago can learn.

Zhi Shu checked the cross-section of the Motorized Lizard's severed tail and found that it was not as **** as expected.

 He couldn't help but ask: "Is this a new move?"

Instinct told the Motorized Lizard that this was a move called Tail Cutting, and it nodded, a little embarrassed: "Gahaw..."

Now there is no way for it to be used again. It can only be used normally after its tail grows back.

Zhi Shu had an idea in his mind, and it just so happened that his brother, Ai Guanshi, trotted over carrying a medical bag.

Zhi Shu took out the bandages and healing spray he had prepared in advance, sprayed a few times on the Motorized Lizard's severed tail, and then tied a bow with the bandage.

 “Okay, you'll be well soon.”

 Pokémon's recovery ability is very exaggerated. According to Zhi Shu's understanding, the broken tail can grow back within three days.

Hearing this, several Pokémon felt relieved.

Yan Shilei lowered his head with an apologetic expression.

If it weren't for it, the Motorized Lizard wouldn't have been injured.

In response to this, the kind-hearted Motorcycle Lizard shook his head with a smile on his face, saying it didn't matter.

 The harmony between Pokémon has been restored.

Motor Lizard was a little tired, so he found a comfortable place to lie down and sleep.

Although the Motorized Lizard forgave it, Salt Rock Barrier still felt uncomfortable.

It turned its head to look at the Motorized Lizard from time to time, and even walked more and more cautiously, for fear of stepping on any small Pokémon again and accidentally injuring them.

 Zhi Shu and Gu Ledun retreated under the eaves.

Thinking of Motorized Lizard's reaction just now, Naoki couldn't help but said: "Motorized Lizard is really a little angel."

 “Ah gahis~”

 Hunter Luton had already gotten used to Naoki's praise of the Motorized Lizard.

 Now, while accepting it, there is a sense of sharing weal and woe.

 Zhi Shu was happy: "I praise the Motorized Lizard, why are you so happy? I remember that at the beginning, you seemed to... really dislike it."

　　There was a hint of stupidity on Luden's face: "Ah, geez."

“Forget it, as long as you can get along well with each other!” Naoki didn't pursue it. After all, Guluton is a Pokémon with a strong sense of territoriality. It's good enough not to fight with the Motorized Lizard.

He supported the floor of the corridor with his hands and took a deep breath. Remembering that Gu Lerton usually walked quite close to the Motorized Lizard, he asked:

“By the way, has the Motorized Lizard ever told you that it is interested in something?”

Hearing this, Leden tilted his head and looked over: "Ah?"

 Zhi Shu explained: "It's the Motorized Lizard's birthday soon. I'm thinking about giving it a birthday gift, but I don't know what to choose yet."

So Luton understood, and he couldn't help but recall that in the past, when he was a motorcycle lizard, he also received a gift from Naoki.

 At that time, Naoki gave him a scarf and warm clothes specially customized for the Motorized Lizard.

Therefore, Luton still remembered that the clothes were made of the wool of braided sheep. It was like a small vest. Its limbs could be stretched out from the holes. The wool would protect its body and belly. It also wore a scarf. In winter, It's very warm inside.

He liked that outfit very much, but it was a pity that he wore it for a long time. Later, the clothes got damaged and he had to mend them many times. Finally, Naoki put them at the bottom of the wardrobe. Therefore, Ludun gave the answer without hesitation: "Ah gah!"

At this time, a chilly autumn wind blew by.

 Zhi Shu suddenly had an answer in his mind.

　Warm and cold-proof clothing!

  He remembered that there were scarves and clothes for Pokémon in town!

Since winter is coming soon, he can give these to the Motorized Lizard in advance to prepare it for the coming winter.

 “Yes!”

Zhi Shu suddenly stood up and was ready to go to the town to have a look.

The Motorized Lizard's tail was injured and it was not suitable to take him to the town. In addition, Naoki deliberately wanted to hide the Motorized Lizard from the truth and give it a surprise later.

Hence this trip, he chose to ride a relatively low-profile goat to go to town.

Before going out, Naoki did not forget to tell Gu Ledun: "Don't tell the Motorized Lizard what I told you today!"

Seeing the old man, Leden nodded, and then Zhishu rode on the back of his goat and set off for Ziqin Town.

　　It's been a long time since I've been here, and Zhiqin Town is still so lively and prosperous.

Following the direction in his memory, Naoki headed straight to the Pokémon Beauty Shop.

 Only here will some Pokémon costumes be sold.

The Pokémon stylist, who was dressed very fashionably in colorful clothes, received him.

“Good afternoon, little brother! Do you want to style this riding goat? Oh my God! Its wool is so lush and soft! Well, it suits the hairstyle I just designed.”

As he spoke, the stylist pushed the illustration of Dorimia with a mohawk in front of Naoki.

 He covered his mouth and chuckled: "Want to try this popular hairstyle?"

 Naoki: “…”

The mount goat understood what this strange man said.

It came up to take a look, and its eyes widened immediately.

 “Yeah!”

The green light on the mount goat began to surge, and it looked at the human who wanted to shave its wool with an unfriendly expression. It seemed that as long as the other person moved, it would give him a shot of the Holy Sword of Grass.

 “Oh haha, don't be angry!”

Zoki couldn't accept these fashionable hairstyles and popular styles. He felt that they were too unconventional and unconventional.

He threw these things behind and asked: "Are there any clothes suitable for the Motorized Lizard? I want to buy it one for the winter."

“Motor Lizard?” The stylist looked very surprised: “No, we only have clothes worn by small dog Pokémon.”

Seeing this, Naoki knew that he was in the wrong place. He said goodbye politely and rode his goat to a shopping mall that specialized in selling clothes.

 However, this time, they still failed.

“Sure enough, only human clothes are sold in big shopping malls.”

Zhi Shu stood at the entrance of the shopping mall, not knowing where to look for a moment.

At this moment, a young female clerk called him from the mall.

 Zhi Shu turned around and looked over with some confusion.

The girl asked: "Do you want to buy some warm clothes for the Motorized Lizard for the winter?"

 Zhi Shu nodded: "Yes."

Girl: "I'm afraid there are no such clothes in Ziqin town, because clothes will affect Pokémon's daily actions, so except for some noble ladies who pursue Pokémon fashion, basically no one will give Pokémon wear clothes."

 “That's it…” Naoki nodded thoughtfully.

The girl smiled softly and suddenly said: "But, I have a way! I see that you have been running on this street for a long time, and you must like that motorcycle lizard. In that case, I will provide you with a direction! "

"What?"

Girl: "Then make it yourself. There are pastures near Zhiqin Town that raise braided sheep that are rich in wool. You can buy some wool from those ranchers, and then find someone who is good at tailoring to customize a piece of clothing for the Motorized Lizard."

 This is a good choice.

Zhi Shu nodded, thanked the other party, and while it was still early, he rode his goat to visit the Thunder Ranch next door.

Lei, a rancher who was slightly older than him, received him. After learning about Naoki's purpose, he took him to visit his ranch.

 “Come with me!” Lei said with a smile.

 Zhi Shu responded while observing the pasture.

Thunder Ranch is located under a hillside. Lush pasture grows on the hillside. A group of braided sheep and Meli sheep from the Galar region are leisurely grazing on the grass.

“Isn't it very different from your ranch?” Lei asked.

 Zhi Shu nodded: "Yes."

He noticed that there were only a few pieces of farmland here, with a dozen or so pumpkin plants planted on them, and there were no cow Pokémon such as large milk cans.

Lei proudly said: "My ranch is mainly based on animal husbandry and specializes in raising wool-producing sheep Pokémon. The wool on braided sheep is the best material for making clothes. In the Galar region, this kind of wool is used to make clothes." The clothes and carpets are very famous brands!”

“The wool from the braided sheep I raise can be sold throughout the entire Padia region!”

 “It's amazing!” Naoki praised sincerely.

 Compared with him, Lei is really a very good rancher.

He relied on his magical cooking and a group of Pokémon to manage the ranch to its current level.

And Lei relied only on his own hands to take care of the braided sheep ranch in an orderly manner.

“Haha!” Upon hearing his compliment, Lei showed an embarrassed expression: “You want to buy some wool, right?”

Naoki: "That's right."

Hearing this, Lei waved and called a braided sheep with a round body and cute eyes.

“Just in time, it's time to shear the sheep again.”

Lei took out the special scissors and said while shaving the braided sheep:

“The wool of braided sheep keeps growing throughout its life. Even if the hair is shaved clean, it only takes 3 months to return to its original appearance.”

“If they are not shaved for a long time, these little guys will be unable to move because the hair on their bodies will grow too long.”

Lei's shaving technique was very skillful, and within a short time, a complete woolen leather sheath was freshly baked.

Lei picked it up: "Look, it's amazing, isn't it? These hairs are all intact and very elastic. As long as you wear them, you won't be injured even if you fall off a cliff."

As he spoke, he patted it and saw the DuangDuangDuang of the woolen leather sheath flicking a few times.

 Naoki's eyes widened in disbelief.

So magical?

If you put a collar on the Mane Rock Werewolf, wouldn't it become a big bad wolf in sheep's clothing?

“I'll give you a zero, just give me 2,000 Union coins per pound. Well, these are 6 pounds, a total of 12,000 Union coins.” Lei weighed the wool.

 Twelve thousand... To be honest, wool of this quality is not expensive at this price.

Zhi Shu thought that he had just bought them all and would save them for making clothes later. He paid the money and hurried back with the wool.

 The next step is to find someone who is good at tailoring to customize warm clothes for the Motorized Lizard.

Let me just say this. I saw some readers in the comment area saying that I was acting stupid and not updating.

Because the author was hospitalized, I had a fever a few days ago and turned into pneumonia. I thought it was because I stayed up late typing and didn't wake up, so I didn't have the strength to feel dizzy. Later, when it got serious, I realized, oh, I was sick...

I have recurring fevers. My body temperature has just returned to normal after the intravenous drip in the morning, but the fever broke out again in the afternoon. It's so torturous, so the quality of the past few days is a bit poor. I think everyone can feel it...

I'll wait until I'm discharged from the hospital to make up for the updates I owe. I'm very sorry.
