Not a Trainer This Time Chapter 224

Chapter 224 Yeci's Recruitment (4k)

The firelight flickered in the room, and the little blacksmith lay on a square pillow. The beating flame in the fireplace stretched its shadow very long, reflected on the wall, and danced with the flame.

 The little blacksmith felt like he was in a dream.

In the dream, a fire broke out in the forest, and the tongues of fire were like the claws of the devil, constantly approaching it.

Heavy fire burned everything, and the former home instantly turned into a purgatory of death.

 It saw Pokémon being swallowed by the flames, and saw more and more Pokémon starting to flee.

 Then, it followed the tide of Pokémon, facing the scorching wind, and kept running away under the fire.

 The temperature around it is getting higher and higher, as if the flame is about to touch its body.

The little blacksmith let out a scream of terror, and then opened his eyes suddenly.

 Suddenly, the all-devouring fire disappeared, and the group of fleeing Pokémon disappeared.

 Instead is a completely unfamiliar environment.

There was still a trace of panic on the little blacksmith's face. She was gasping for air, as if she was about to drown.

 At this time, a voice came from the side.

"you're awake?"

The little blacksmith turned his head and saw a strange human being.

 The memories in his mind came back, and the little blacksmith recalled everything.

—They had escaped the fire and were saved by the humans in front of them.

 But what about the Pokémon that escaped with it?

The little blacksmith turned his head in panic, and his eyes searched for the figures of those Pokémon in the room.

Looking at its movements, Naoki roughly guessed what the little blacksmith meant.

He said: "If you are looking for chinchillas, you can see them outside."

Hearing this, the little blacksmith struggled to get up and wanted to go out and see them.

 Because it accidentally fell down while fleeing, and when it was about to be burned by the fire, it was the stuffed chinchilla who stopped to save it.

For this reason, the hair on its tail was burned to a bare piece.

 Zhi Shu did not stop it. After taking a nap, the little blacksmith's physical strength obviously recovered a lot, and he was not as weak as before.

 He followed the little blacksmith outside, and finally found the chinchilla hiding in the orchard.

The little blacksmith couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhi Shu said from the side: "Although your body is no longer seriously injured, you still need to pay more attention to rest. During this time, you can stay in my ranch."

"After this winter, I will help you rebuild your home, and then you can go back to the mountains and forests."

Not only him, but also the Padian League will definitely arrange for people to stay here to help until the ecological environment here is restored.

At that time, the rescued Pokémon will also be released into the wild and returned to their homes.

Hearing this, the little blacksmith breathed out a sigh of relief.

It turned around, looked up at the human who helped them, and then whispered: "Wow..."

Zhishu smiled and asked: "I also made a small nest for you. Do you want to try it? Live with everyone?"

 Although he was in a safe environment, the little blacksmith's mood did not recover immediately.

 It lowered its head and whispered: "Wow."

Looking at this frail little blacksmith, Naoki found it difficult to connect it with the Pokémon recorded in the illustrated book called Padia Bully.

 Pardian Bully refers to the Great Blacksmith who evolved from the Little Blacksmith.

This Pokémon is not only highly intelligent, but also has a very heroic personality. Although it looks petite and cute, it can actually hit a steel-armored crow with a big hammer.

 Zhi Shu brought the little blacksmith to the wooden hut prepared for him.

Looking at the hut in front of him, the little blacksmith looked back at Zhishu, and then walked inside under his encouraging gaze.

Seeing this scene, Naoki breathed a sigh of relief.

 Finally, the accommodation of all injured Pokémon has been perfectly solved.

It was still dark, and these Pokémon did not stay in their dens. They were scattered throughout the orchard, and they were all in a very low mood.

 Zhi Shu expressed his understanding of this. After all, that kind of thing happened not long ago, and it was normal for him to be unable to adjust for a while.

 He just called the group of Pokémon over and said to them:

"You can pick and eat the fruits produced in this orchard at will. If you want to wander around, you can go find the Babu Woodchuck or the Frost Milk Fairy. However, please note that you cannot eat the Frost Milk Fairy. "

The ripening cycle of tree fruits is much shorter than that of ordinary fruits. These tree fruits can fully support this group of Pokémon through this winter.

A group of Pokémon nodded, indicating that they remembered that they would not eat the Pokémon that helped them.

 Unknowingly, the time has reached five o'clock in the evening.

 Zach drove the truck over to collect the goods.

 Obviously, he also heard about the forest fire that happened in the back mountain.

"This is so sad, ugh..." Zach couldn't help but sigh.

"Yeah!" Naoki recalled the Pokémon that lost their lives in the fire, and was also very sorry: "Not only does it take time to restore the ecology, but these Pokémon must have also suffered a serious blow in their hearts."

“All we can do is try to help them get through this difficult time.” Zach sighed.

 “Everything will be fine.” Naoki comforted him.

Hearing this, Zach showed a smile on his face: "Yes! If we all work together, we will be able to overcome this difficulty!"

　　He handed today's milk money to Zhi Shu, then waved his hand, turned around and left the pasture.

 After sending Zach away, Naoki felt a deep tiredness spread throughout his body.

 From early morning to now, he has barely rested for a moment. After putting out the fire, he immediately took the Pokémon in the pasture to the back mountain, and when he came back, he started building wooden cabins for them.

Zhishu yawned. Although he was very tired, he still managed to prepare dinner with his sister Ai Guanshi.

 After finishing dinner, he went to fill up the big milk tank and the water tank of the riding goat, and drove the hens back to the chicken hut, so that he could rest for a while.

Ai was also very tired from waiting on his brother and sister. Seeing their appearance, Nao Shugan simply put a closure sign on the tavern and planned to let the brother and sister take a good rest.

This night, the lights in the ranch were turned off early, and Zhi Shu led a group of Pokémon and fell asleep early.

 The next morning, it's a new day.

 The weather today is very good, and the temperature that originally dropped has risen slightly.

 Early in the morning, Naoki started mowing the grass on the ground with a lawn mower, preparing to collect some grass to make new grass dishes for his mount goat.

It is worth mentioning that in order to allow the goats to eat fresh grass dumplings in winter, Naoki has collected a warehouse full of fresh grass.

These green grasses were all sealed into crystal clear ice cubes and piled in Bingyibu's ice cellar.

 In this way, when needed, you can take it out and defrost it, and then make grass dumplings.

While Naoki was busy working on the pasture, a new visitor also arrived outside the pasture.

Ms. Yeci, the chief champion of the Padian League, was standing on the country road at the moment, looking up at the bustling pasture in front of her.

“Is this the champion trainer that Junsha said is living in seclusion here?” Yeci murmured to himself. As soon as she stepped into this place, she saw three fast dragons carrying small satchels flying over her head.

Yeci looked surprised, wondering if this person was a champion trainer specializing in dragon attributes?

She looked back at the direction of the three fast dragons and found that it was in the direction of Zhiqin Town.

 She had already heard more or less some rumors about this ranch from Junsha last night.

At this moment, when I saw the three Kuailongs, I thought they must be the Kuailongs that Junsha said were the delivery boys at the ranch, right?

"Luxury." Yeci commented softly: "But Kuailong is indeed suitable for this job."

They should be the main Pokémon of this ranch owner, right?

 Ye Cixin thinks so.

However, when she turned her head, she saw a Pokémon with its limbs stretched out on the grass not far away.

It was a tall and strong Pokémon with a scarlet body, gorgeous feathers on its head, and a pair of golden pupils.

The Pokémon seemed to have noticed something, and raised its eyelids and looked in her direction.

Their eyes met in mid-air, and when they looked at each other's appearance, Yeci froze on the spot.

That's...the Paradox Pokémon that Dr. Orin and Dr. Futu are studying?

The existence named King Yi recorded in the Book of Nobles and Purples?

As the chief of the Padia Alliance, Yeci is aware of the existence of Area 0 and Paradox Pokémon.

  Outsiders who want to enter Area 0 must first apply to the Padian League and obtain the approval of her chief before they can be qualified to enter Area 0.

"No, King Yi can't appear here." Yeci denied subconsciously.

As far as she knows, Dr. Orin and Dr. Futu have only summoned two powerful and violent Paradox Pokémon here.

If King Wing is here, then what is the Pokémon in the deepest laboratory in Area 0 at this moment?

 But the way the King Wing looked at her was so hard that she couldn't ignore it.

Even if she no longer believes it, the King Yi in front of her is not an illusion, but a reality.

 So, who is this rancher?

How can he subdue King Yi who is violent and violent by nature?

 At this time, Zhishu received a notice from Bada Huo, saying that someone had broken into the pasture.

He stopped what he was doing and went to check. From a distance, he saw Ye Cizheng, who was wearing a black and blue championship uniform, looking at Gulton with a surprised look on his face.

Zhi Shu raised his eyebrows, stepped forward and greeted: "Your Excellency, Champion?"

Yeci came back to her senses. She turned her head and saw a very familiar face.

Yeci frowned slightly, and then asked politely: "Have we met somewhere before?"

 Naoki: “…”

 He thought about it carefully. At this time, he was darker and stronger than before. He also had a different hairstyle. He couldn't recognize it as normal.

Zhi Shu explained concisely and concisely: "Yes, when the huge dragon visited the Padia area."

 When he said this, Yeci immediately remembered it.

Her eyes widened in disbelief: "Is it you?"

 Naoki: “It's me.”

"No wonder..." Yeci murmured: "No wonder you were able to control that huge dragon. It turns out you are a champion trainer, so it makes sense."

Hearing this, Naoki was stunned for a moment and said with confusion: "What kind of champion?"

Yeci looked at him with a puzzled face: "Aren't you the champion trainer who solved the fire yesterday?"

 Zhi Shu was even more confused.

 How come he doesn't know that he has become a champion trainer?

Seeing his expression, Yeci was very confused: "Isn't it?"

　　Naoki: "...No, as you can see, I'm just a rancher."

Hearing this, Yeci frowned slightly, seeming to be thinking.

Then, she didn't know what she thought of, her brows gradually widened, and a smile appeared on her face: "I understand."

 Naoki: “?”

What do you unserstand?

Yeci has not forgotten the business of coming here today. She straightened her face and said:

"Mr. Naoki, no matter what, I want to express my gratitude to you on behalf of the Padian League. The Padian League owes you a favor."

“As a thank you, we will satisfy one of your needs within our capabilities, whether it is money, Pokémon, or alliance positions such as Gym Leader.”

Of course, the alliance position was added by her personally, because before coming here, Yeci had already thought of recruiting this talent.

However, when Naoki heard this, he twitched the corner of his mouth.

 Recruit him to work in the alliance, right?

 Are you kidding me? !

 He doesn't want to be a social beast like Aoki.

 Hence, Naoki decisively rejected the third point: “I still prefer to run a ranch here.”

Yeci was very regretful: "You really don't want to consider it? The alliance will pay generous salaries to excellent trainers, and while serving as an alliance employee, you can also run a ranch here. There is no conflict between the two."

Naoki smiled politely: "Thank you very much for the invitation, but these Pokémon can't live without me."

Hearing this, Yeci looked at the group of Pokémon behind him that were waiting for food, and could only say with regret: "Well, if you have any ideas about this in the future, you can contact me at any time."

“By the way, since you don't want to work in the alliance, the first two options are still valid. Please don't refuse again. This is our intention and the reward you deserve.”

 Naoki: “…”

 He began to fall into deep thought.

 As an ordinary person, it is really difficult to make a choice when faced with this situation.

As for money, he is not short of it now.

 As for Pokémon, Naoki thought of the big furry Eevee family and his favorite Cady dog.

Seeing his hesitation, he kindly said, "You can think about it slowly. This thank you will be permanent. You can tell me when you think about it."

 Zhi Shu nodded silently and found that this was indeed the case.

When Ibrahimovic looks back, he can go to the town to see if anyone is breeding, and Kati Dog can also try his luck in the wild.

After finishing the serious chat, Yeci turned his attention to Gulton again, and then asked: "Is it your Pokémon?"

Zhi Shu looked at his old friend, Ledun, and then at Ye Ci beside him.

 At this moment, he had a lot on his mind.

As far as he knows, the Padian Crater is now managed by the Padian League. Outsiders who want to enter must first obtain permission from the Padian League.

Dr. Olin and Dr. Futu, who established the observation station and research institute under the giant crater, must have been able to successfully carry out research with the support of the alliance.

“…So, as the chief champion of the Padia League, Yeci should know about the existence of Paradox Pokémon.”

After pondering for a moment, Zhi Shu nodded and said, "Yes, it's called Gulton. It was named by Dr. Olin. Eight months ago, it appeared in the pasture. Dr. Olin gave it to me to take care of. Hopefully I can discover more ecological information from Gullerton."
