Not a Trainer This Time Chapter 231

 Chapter 231 Under the Clouds and Mists (4k)

At this time, the battle on the field has reached a fierce stage.

 Aoki's Tree Pillow Bear and the boy's Fire Crocodile both had very little physical strength left.

Facing the fire crocodile that was crashing towards him, Aoki once again made the tree pillow bear yawn.

Yawn successfully hit the target, and the Fire Crocodile suddenly felt drowsy.

 But just when it was about to fall into sleep, the boy suddenly shouted, "Hold on."

 The Fire Crocodile woke up instantly and broke out of his drowsy state. The flames in his mouth condensed, and he defeated Aoki's Tree Pillow Bear with a spark.

 “That's great!” A surprised expression appeared on the young man's face.

Aoki looked calm and silently took out the elf ball and took the tree pillow bear back:

“You are very powerful, but you only have one Pokémon with no health condition left, and I have one Pokémon with intact physical strength.”

 “We will not give up!” The young man shouted energetically.

 The diners were ignited by his fighting spirit and cheered him loudly.

 “Hey! Boy! Hold on!”

 “Hungry guests are waiting! Let us see what you are good at!”

“That classmate, and Aoki, please do your best~”

 “That's right, Mr. Aoki!” the young man said with fighting spirit.

Aoki: "...I know, if you chat too much, my boss will get angry. Let's start the battle!"

 Speaking, he sent out his last Pokémon.

That is a Muke eagle with sharp eyes and strong body.

 The last battle has officially begun!

Facing this nearly impossible to defeat powerful enemy, the boy still did not choose to give up. His fighting spirit infected the fire crocodiles on the field.

The Fire Crocodile worked hard to overcome the intimidation of the Muck Eagle and used his best move, Sparks, towards it!

Perhaps due to luck, or perhaps Aoki did it intentionally, this spark successfully hit the Muke Eagle and luckily caused it to fall into a burn state.

Seeing this scene, the young man clenched his fists excitedly: "Yes! That's it, Fire Crocodile!"

 In the burnt state, Pokémon's physical strength will gradually lose. As long as they persist long enough, the battle will be more likely to be won!

 Some of the audience members who supported Aoki were very dissatisfied with this scene.

"What are you doing, Aoki! You were hit by that kid's moves so easily!"

 “Get serious! I didn't come here to see you losing the battle on purpose!”

Hearing these words, Aoki looked exhausted. He looked at the trainer opposite and said to him feebly:

“…Excuse me, does it matter if I use the moves that people in society are good at?”

The young man was slightly startled.

 And Aoki has already given the order: "Muke Ying, use your strength!"

Hold on, a general move. The effect is that when you are burned, paralyzed, or poisoned, the power will be doubled.

After receiving this instruction, the Muke Eagle emitted a dazzling white light, and then swooped towards the stupid fire crocodile from the air.

 The Fire Crocodile was hit as expected, and was so hard-hit by this move that he immediately lost his ability to fight.

 The young man opened his mouth blankly.

 The diners cheered enthusiastically.

 “Wow! Ahhhhh! As expected of Aoki!”

“What a wonderful battle, it's really exciting! Before I knew it, I had already eaten two bowls of ramen!”

Aoki ignored these voices and said calmly: "Unfortunately, you did not pass the challenge of Jinhui Gym. I cannot hand over the gym badge to you. So, goodbye."

 After saying that, Aoki picked up his briefcase and walked off the stage, walked to the bar and started eating.

 “This is Aoki…”

Zhi Shu looked at the man with a very high hairline with interest.

Even though he was wearing a smart black suit, his face showed an unconcealable tiredness, and there were even obvious dark circles around his eyes.

Thinking of the business of coming here, Zhishu asked Babu Tubo and Kuailong beside him: "Are you full?"

 “Bamo!”

 “Ouch~”

Seeing that both Pokémon had filled their stomachs, Naoki put them back into the Poké Ball, then walked up with Gullton, sat next to Aoki and ordered two bowls of red bean soup to relieve greasiness.

Before he could speak, Aoki was the first to notice him and Gu Ledun beside him.

 The expression on Aoki's face was not surprising, it was still very calm: "You're here."

Zhi Shu was stunned on the spot: "Do you know me?"

Is it possible that Yeci showed him a photo of herself? No, why does Yeci have a photo of him?

Seeing that he was thinking wildly, Aoki explained: "The time when I met the chief... I am an uninvited and rare visitor. From the first moment you came in, I noticed you and that Pokémon."

“Ordinary people like me won't be recognized when walking on the street. People like you are different. You are a dazzling presence no matter where you go.”

　　Naoki was speechless: "...It's an exaggeration."

Qingmu said calmly: "You dare to go to such a dangerous place as the giant pit. If it were me, I would definitely not do it. Hello, I am Qingmu. Please give me your advice."

 “I am Naoki.”

Aoki nodded: "Please wait a moment, I will take you there after I finish eating."

Naoki didn't say much: “Okay.”

Aoki seemed to enjoy the peaceful meal time. He ate slowly. By the time he finished all the food in front of him, Naoki and Gulton also finished the two bowls of red bean soup.

Aoki stood up and picked up his briefcase, "Let's go, let me finish this work quickly!"

 Naoki: "Okay."

 The two left Bao Restaurant. Naoki originally thought that Aoki would ride a motorcycle taxi or drive his own car to take him to the zero area gate.

But he never thought that after leaving the door, Aoki walked straight to a bicycle parking area, pushed out a bicycle from there and rode on it.

 Naoki: “?”

Aoki turned around, wanting him to follow him, but when he saw the confused expression on the man's face, he thought about it and explained:

“This is the mode of transportation I usually use for traveling. Is it very common?”

Zhi Shu nodded naturally: "Yeah."

Aoki: "General attributes...ordinary...common...ordinary...not unusual...it goes well with me, who has no personality. I like this, plainness is the real thing."

 As he said that, Aoki started pedaling his bicycle.

Zhi Shu had no choice but to ride on Guluton and follow.

On the way, Aoki began to explain another thing: "Originally, I was not responsible for taking you there, but that person had something to do and asked for leave, so I can only take you there."

 Zhi Shu didn't know how to get along with a social beast like Aoki, so he could only reply dully: “Sorry for the trouble, thank you.”

 Aoki: "You're too polite... This is the job of people in society."

 Naoki was speechless.

 Aoki seemed to be working too many part-time jobs, and his face could not hide his fatigue. After a few brief introductions, he stopped talking. The Zero Area Gate is built on the steep and towering cliff outside the Padea Crater. To get there, in addition to riding a bicycle, you also have to climb a mountain.

Jinhui Town is located under the gate of Zone Zero. You can even clearly see the steep cliffs towering into the clouds in the town.

 The two of them soon arrived at the foot of the mountain.

Aoki got out of the car and parked his bicycle on the side of the road. "The next step is to climb the mountain on foot. There is no way to ride a bicycle there."

Zhi Shu was very worried: "Do you want to rest for a while first?"

Looking at Aoki's appearance, he was afraid that he would die suddenly on the way.

 Aoki: "...Just think of it as helping digestion after meals. Come on, let me finish work quickly and go home to rest."

 Naoki: “Oh!”

 Aoki walked, he had no choice but to follow.

 Fortunately, he used to do farm work a lot and got good physical exercise.

 After walking for a while, Aoki was tired and panting.

Zhishu asked with concern: "Would you like to ride Guluton up there with me?"

Aoki glanced at Gu Ledun, shook his head and refused: "Forget it, I don't really want to experience this novel experience."

"…All right."

Perhaps Aoki felt that chatting would make him less tired from walking, so he asked: "Is it called Gulton?"

Zhi Shu nodded: "Yes, it was named by Dr. Olin."

"I see." Aoki thought about Yeci allowing this person to enter the giant pit, and he said in a surprised tone: "I didn't expect that the chief would approve your application to enter the giant pit."

Zhi Shu said silently: "Maybe she thinks I have the ability to protect myself?"

With the ability to protect himself inside the Padian Pit, is this man a champion trainer?

 That's right, Yeci has been recruiting talents for the Padian League. Through this man's application, he may want to make friends with him.

Aoki turned to look at Naoki and suddenly asked: "Chief, did she invite you to work in the alliance?"

Zhi Shu was stunned: "How do you know?"

 Aoki had an expression on his face that I already knew: "I've guessed it all."

"The chief is my boss. If you agree to her, you may be assigned to a certain city as a gym leader like me. You may also join the sales department that relies on performance to do several jobs at the same time. That People can do this kind of thing.”

 Naoki: “…”

Aoki continued: "If you are willing, I will definitely not do it. Although I am also doing the work of the Four Heavenly Kings, this is my limit."

Zhi Shu asked silently: “It's not within the scope of the Heavenly King and the museum owner to take me to the Zero Area Gate, right?”

Aoki sighed: "There is no way, this is what people in society do. In order to prevent your boss from hating you and the overtime pay, you do some work that is not yours. You may have to wait until you grow up to understand this."

 Naoki: “…”

While chatting, the two of them had arrived halfway up the mountain.

After passing through a dark tunnel, a tall building with landing gear and an apron appeared in front of us.

"Here we are." Aoki said: "This is the gate of Area Zero. You can enter the interior of the Padia Crater through here."

Aoki followed the procedure and walked forward, opened the metal door with the access card given by the alliance, and led Naoki and Gulton into the building.

Zhi Shu looked up at the technologically styled place in front of him and couldn't help but let out a wow.

Qingmu said: "This is also the first time for me to come to this place. It's too dangerous down here. If I didn't have a job, I would never come here."

 Speaking, he opened the metal door leading to the tarmac: "This is it."

Zhi Shu walked in and heard a whistling air flow.

He and Gu Leden stood on the landing gear, facing a large misty and thick white cloud.

 For a moment, Naoki felt as if he had reached the top of the clouds and was in a fairyland.

Even though he had the experience of entering a huge pit in the game, when it came to this moment, Naoki still couldn't help but feel nervous.

 Because under this milky white cloud, there is a bottomless pit of Padia. If he accidentally falls from Guluton later, he will be smashed to pieces.

Guluton on the side also seemed a little nervous.

Zhi Shu touched its head, and then took a deep breath.

 He turned his head and saw Aoki standing far behind, looking at him.

Seeing him looking back, Aoki said: "My work is done, I wish you good luck."

"Thanks."

Zhi Shu thanked him, then rode up to Gulton and patted Gulton on the head gently: "Let's go!"

 “Ah gah hiss…”

Hence, Luton's mood at the moment is inevitably a bit complicated.

But Naoki wanted to go, so he raised his forelimbs and jumped.

Suddenly, the cold air whizzed past Zhishu's ears, and the misty white clouds tightly surrounded him and Gulton.

 Huluton began to fall at a high speed, and Naoki hugged its neck tightly.

 Suddenly, the gorgeous feathers on Guluton's head suddenly transformed into wings, the speed of his fall suddenly slowed down, and everything around him slowly calmed down.

Zhi Shu opened his eyes. They seemed to have passed through the clouds at this moment, and the vast land and valleys shining with bright crystal light appeared below.

The light turns into a waterfall, falling straight down from the clouds.

The light is so white and dazzling that the grass, trees, valleys, cliffs, and waterfalls all look so sacred.

 So Luton landed nearby on a green cliff full of life.

Zhi Shu took it to the edge of the cliff, stood in front of the simple fence designed by the Padian League, and looked at the indescribable scenery in front of him.

The air was shimmering with brilliant crystal light, and on the grass, the scale powder of the edelweiss moth was faintly blown by the wind. The scale powder looked like starlight falling from the clouds under the light.

In the distant valley, under a majestic waterfall, Qilin is leading a group of Qilinqi to drink water.

Over their heads, shuttlecock grass is floating gently in the breeze.

 “It's so beautiful!” Naoki murmured. He felt that he would never forget this scene in his life.

 “Ah, geez...” Guluton called out for no apparent reason.

 Zhi Shu looked away, not forgetting the business of coming here.

He looked around and was surprised to see no Paradox Pokémon nearby. After thinking about it, it might be that this was the top level of the pit, and the habitat of Paradox Pokémon had not yet expanded here.

Dr. Olin said that you can find the first observation station by walking down the area below the zero zone gate.

 He and Aoki spent more than two hours climbing the mountain, and it was estimated that it was already three o'clock in the afternoon.

Zhi Shu didn't intend to ride Guluton and land directly from the big hole in the middle to the bottom.

The danger Dr. Olin mentioned before was one reason, but the more important reason was that Naoki wanted to see the paradoxical Pokémon living here and see if he could conquer a few that were destined to him.

 Therefore, they had to arrive at the first observation station before dark, take a short rest before continuing downward.
