Not a Trainer This Time Chapter 244

Chapter 244: The Crown of Snowfield! (4k)

 Under Naoki's doubtful eyes, Luton started thinking with his not very smart brain.

It looked at the vibrant and strange tree dancing in the sea of ​​neon lights, and then at the low-key Naoki tree in front of it.

So Luton suddenly realized that it was too early now, its little master had not been born yet, and Zhi Shu didn't seem to know Qishu.

 “Ah gah hiss…”

Huluton's head drooped.

 Zhi Shu recalled carefully and found that Gu Ledun didn't seem to have eaten much at noon.

It's getting late now. Could it be that it's hungry and doesn't want to stay here anymore?

Thinking of this, Naoki asked: "Are you hungry?"

Hulton's attention was slightly diverted. He felt it carefully, and sure enough, he heard a growling sound coming from his stomach.

 It nodded its big head: "Ah gah!"

Zhi Shu couldn't help but laugh and said: "Okay, then we won't watch it. We will buy the boat tickets first and then eat when we get on the boat."

 “Ah gahis~”

 Hence Leton readily agreed.

So Zhi Shu did not stay any longer, but turned around and left this place with Gu Ledun.

Passing through the central square, Zhi Shu saw the huge lighthouse standing on the coast. Not far from the lighthouse was a building with lights on, and several giant ships docked on the sea on the other side of the building.

That's where the boat ride is.

 The boat ride at night was still crowded with people, including tourists traveling to other areas and trainers coming to the Padia region from other areas.

As soon as Zhi Shu arrived there, he heard a melodious whistle coming from the sea. It seemed that a passenger ship was about to dock at the shore.

Zhi Shu saw that the staff at the ferry terminal were getting busy.

Soon, the passage to the exit of the station was opened, and a group of humans and Pokémon carrying large and small bags walked out lively.

 “A ticket to the Galar region.”

 Zhi Shu came to the ticket gate and said to the conductor inside.

The conductor glanced through the window at the young man outside and the big Pokémon following him, and said with a warm smile:

“Okay, the nearest passenger ship departs at 7:25 pm, and its destination is Water Boat Town in the Galar region. It is expected to take three days to arrive. Do you want to take this flight?”

Shuizhou Town…

 Naoki's mind pictured a lively port town with many shops and restaurants.

 He nodded and said, "Okay."

Conductor: "The total is 3,200 alliance coins."

 Naoki paid the money.

　　The conductor took the ticket from her. It was now seven o'clock in the evening, and there was still half an hour before the passenger ship departed.

 He did not stay at the boating station, but followed the staff's guidance to the port and boarded the ship smoothly.

The ship is not big, but the facilities inside are very complete.

  Restaurant, gym, barber shop, battlefield, trainer exchange center, etc.

At this time, many passengers heading to the Galar region had gathered on the ship.

 Office workers in suits, upper-class ladies in luxurious clothes, young and enthusiastic Pokémon trainers...

Some people stayed on the deck to admire the neon lights twinkling in the distance, while others gathered in the restaurant and took their Pokémon to feast.

 Zhi Shu also sat at the dining table with Motor Lizard and Gu Ledun.

 The uniformed waiter brought them menus.

“Fried pork chop, mapo tofu, soy sauce fried rice, omelette rice, sashimi, sushi, ham...there are quite a lot of varieties.” Naoki was a little surprised, and he ordered a few dishes at random according to his previous eating habits.

Soon, the food was served. Zhi Shu tasted it and found that it tasted surprisingly good.

  He looked up at the two Pokémon in front of him, and as expected, he saw that they were eating happily.

　　The Pokémon were happy, and Naoki was also happy. He smiled and said to them: "Eat, we will stay here for three days."

 “Ah gahis~”

The two Pokémon didn't have any objections. As long as they could stay with Naoki, it didn't matter where Naoki took them.

Zhi Shu smiled slightly, and just as he was about to lower his head and concentrate on enjoying the food, he heard a burst of communication from the dining table behind him.

“Ah, it's such a pity that I missed Qishu's performance in order to catch this ship!”

The tone of the other person seemed to be a little speechless: "Hey, I said you are too obsessed, right? But then again, how old is that Qishu this year? Why do I feel like she is a trainer who just went on a trip?"

"No! Well, I heard that Qishu only became the gym leader two years ago. At that time, she seemed to be only fourteen years old. Now, she should be sixteen, almost seventeen, right? Such an energetic person Who doesn't like a full-fledged young girl? This is the charm of Qishu!”

 Zhi Shu listened to this silently, feeling a little surprised.

 Sixteen years old? Four years younger than him...

 Wait a minute, is Qishu that old?

Doesn't that mean that when the game starts, she is already in her mid-twenties?

 But looking at her, it doesn't look like her at all!

Is it possible that he looks younger? Doesn't it look old easily?

But if you think about it carefully, the world of Pokémon is based on the real world, and foreign countries have age requirements for live broadcasting. You need to be 18 years or older before you can live broadcast.

An NPC in the game also mentioned that Qishu has been live streaming for many years...

 Obviously, Qishu was over twenty years old at that time.

 “It's almost the same.” Naoki calculated carefully in his mind.

However, all this has nothing to do with him.

Zhi Shu didn't think much about it. After finishing the meal, he took Gullton and Moto Lizard to the deck, ordered a few glasses of juice, and lay on the beach chair to look at the stars.

 Three days later, the ship arrived in the Galar region on time and docked at the port of Water Boat Town.

Zhi Shu took Gu Ledun off the ship in a dusty state and walked in this port town with great interest.

The temperature here is a little warmer than in the Padia region.

 The roads in the town are very neat, with guardrails installed on both sides to prevent tourists from falling into the sea. A tall medieval-style city wall stands on the edge of the town.

 The interweaving of medieval and modern architecture adds a strong sense of fantasy to this town.

Along the way, Zhishu saw parks, shops, roadside stalls, flower shops...

On those clean and tidy lawns, he also saw several Pokémon unique to the Galar region.

For example, a dog barks while running happily on the lawn while using the base of its tail to create electric current.

 The Scavenger moved on the branches and quietly observed everything in the park below.

 A tear-eyed lizard playing with water while standing next to the fountain.

“The Tear-Eyed Lizard, the three water-attribute royal family in the Galar region, looks quite cute.” Naoki thought.

 Unknowingly, he led Gulton to the side of the tear-eyed lizard.

The Tear-Eyed Lizard, who was playing in the water, suddenly noticed a terrifying aura. It raised its head and saw a big Pokémon that it had never seen before staring at it "viciously".

The Tear-Eyed Lizard froze, and started to cry out in fear, tears gushing out.

Seeing this, Zhi Shu quickly said: "Don't be afraid, it won't hurt you..."

However, as he was talking, Naoki suddenly felt a subtle change happening around him. Then, his eyes became moist and tears flowed down uncontrollably.

Zhi Shu was stunned for a second. He heard Gu Ledun's cry behind him. He turned around and found that Gulden had also started to cry inexplicably.

 Naoki: “?”

Taking this opportunity, the color and pattern on the Tear-Eyed Lizard's body changed rapidly, and it gradually blended into the surrounding environment and disappeared in place!

Huluton discovered this scene and was shocked and said: "Ah, hiss!"

Zhi Shu looked down and found that the tear-eyed lizard was gone.

 At this time, someone was attracted by the movement here.

That was a tall and hot girl with brown skin, blue eyes, wearing a swimsuit, and a figure like a model.

She stood not far away watching this scene, sizing up the stranger, and said calmly:

“That's the Tear-Eyed Lizard. This Pokémon's character is a bit timid. The tears it sheds when it's scared contain powerful tear-jerking ingredients, which can make the surrounding creatures shed tears and then take advantage of this opportunity to escape.”

Hearing the sound, Naoki and Gulton turned around in tears and saw a familiar figure.

 That's...Lulina?

 Lulina, the water gym leader in the Galar region, also plays the role of a model.

Zhishu was slightly startled.

Lurina looked at the tears on his face and gave her own advice: "Although that ingredient is harmless to the body, I still recommend that you go to the Pokémon Center for a check-up, otherwise this state will last for a long time. Long time."

 Naoki: “…”

 Ten minutes later, he and Gulton arrived at the Pokémon Center with tears in their eyes.

Ms. Joy from the Galar region knew what had happened as soon as she saw their appearance, and quickly took out eye drops and dropped them into their eyes.

Looking at the red eyes of one Pokémon per person, Miss Joy couldn't help but ask: "A trainer from another area, right?"

Zhi Shu nodded, so Leton was not a Pokémon from the Galar region, and anyone with a discerning eye could tell it at a glance.

Miss Joy couldn't help laughing and said: "It's really hard for you guys. The ingredient released by the tear-eyed lizard has a tear-inducing effect equivalent to 100 onions. If you accidentally get caught, you will cry until you dry up your tears!"

 Naoki: “…”

Now he finally understood why Lurina suggested that he come to the Pokémon Center.

 Thanks to the eye drops provided by Miss Joy, that bad state soon disappeared.

Naoki rubbed his eyes, thanked Miss Joy, and then left the Pokémon Center.

 When I returned to the park, I saw that Lurina had disappeared.

“I still want to say thank you to her!” Naoki felt regretful in his heart, but because he still had important things to do, he could only give up temporarily and prepare to talk about it later when he has the opportunity.

 The next destination…

Zhishu checked the road signs in Shuizhou Town and quickly found the specific location of Shuizhou Town Station on them.

 Ten minutes later, Zhi Shu officially arrived at Shuizhou Town Station.

The conductor at the station looked at him with a smile and asked, "Where are you going?"

 Naoki: "The crown of snow."

“Huh?” Upon hearing the name, the conductor was slightly startled, then she realized it and said with a smile: “Is it Wangguan Snowfield?”

At this moment, Naoki realized that he was talking about the name of Sword and Shield dlc. He nodded sheepishly: "Yes, it's Crown Snowfield."

The conductor girl couldn't help laughing and said: "I have never seen such a Pokémon before. Are you trainers from other areas?"

"Yes." Naoki also said with a smile: "In the Padia region, I am going to visit a friend in the Crown Snowfield."

"I see." The conductor said, "Welcome to the Galar region. Here, this is the Crown Ticket to the Crown Snowfield. Please keep it. After entering the station, you can board the train after showing this ticket. "

"OK."

Zhi Shu nodded, took the ticket and entered the station. Following the directions of the road signs, he quickly found the steam train leading to the Crown Snowfield.

He took Gu Ledun and got on the train. After a while, the train started to move with a bang.

 The surrounding scenery swept back quickly.

Guluton and Motorized Lizard, who had never taken a train before, were lying on the window looking out at the scene with novel expressions on their faces.

Zhi Shu looked around and was surprised to find that the entire carriage was deserted, and he was the only passenger.

 “Good guy!”

 Is Crown Snowfield so unpopular?

Zhi Shu carefully recalled the Crown Snowfield in the game.

He remembered that it was an extremely cold place with steep terrain and towering snow-capped mountains. Because of the extreme weather and terrain, the humans there lived a life of mutual dependence in small villages.

This kind of place is really not suitable for traveling. Naoki thought.

 But this shouldn't be the case?

 If he remembered correctly, there were various ancient ruins and temples scattered across the Crown Snowfield.

This kind of place is the favorite of explorers and ruins fanatics, and the Crown Snowfield should be very popular with these people.

 Could it be because it's too cold?

Zhi Shuxin said it's not that exaggerated, right? Isn't it just a snowfield? As long as you wear a little thicker clothes, it will be fine.

 However, things turned out to be that exaggerated.

When the train arrived at its destination, Zhi Shu took Gu Ledun out of the station.

A cold wind blew, and the next second, he was shivering from the extreme temperature.

 “Damn, it's so cold!”

Zoki's teeth began to tremble. The winter coat he was wearing was not cold-resistant at all!

 He still underestimated the extreme environment of the Crown Snowfield!

 But there is no one selling cold weather suits in this place, and there is only one station behind it.

Zhi Shu exhaled a breath of white air. He forced himself to calm down and looked around. All he could see was a vast expanse of white snow with no end in sight.

There are a large number of cold-resistant trees growing on the snowfield, and a thick layer of snow has fallen on the trees.

 In the distance are endless steep cliffs, and the terrain is very steep and complex.

 “King Lei Guan should be here.” Naoki thought to himself.

 But the problem is, he doesn't know where to look for King Lei Guan.

 Crown Temple? Or in some other inconspicuous cave?

 At this time, Gu Ledun looked over worriedly.

Zhi Shu comforted: "I'm fine, what about you? Can you still hold on?"

 “Ah gah!” So ​​Luden nodded his big head happily.

"Very good." Zhi Shu touched it and felt that Gu Ledun's body was quite warm.

This kind of environment may not have much impact on a Pokémon of Guluton's strength.

Zhi Shu looked at the road sign leading to Dong Ning Village standing next to the road in front of the station.

 After a brief reflection, Zhishu decided to go to the nearby Dongning Village to inquire about the news.

So he took Guluton with him and started heading towards Dongning Village.
