Not a Trainer This Time Chapter 283

Chapter 283 Leaves of the World Tree (4000)

 At the end of December, Year 198 of the Alliance Calendar.

 The Padia region has experienced a snowfall that lasted for nearly half a month.

A thick layer of snow fell on the road, and the road to the pasture was blocked. Even Zach's large truck could not drive in.

In desperation, Zach could only give himself a few days of annual leave, preparing to wait until the snow had subsided before continuing to receive goods.

Early in the morning, Naoki packed up his tools and went out to shovel the snow with Gulton and Motorized Lizard.

He stood in the snow, looking in the direction of Zhiqin Town, and said in his heart that it was true.

As he expected, the road was buried in snow, making it impossible for trucks to pass.

"Fortunately, I have prepared the New Year's goods for the winter in advance. There is no need to brave the heavy snow to go to the town at this time." Naoki thought to himself.

In this kind of weather, people stay at home, and few people go out. Even the trainers and travelers who usually travel around the world are all missing.

The road leading to the town was blocked by snow, and with no one coming, the ranch seemed isolated from the world, like a paradise.

 Looking around, all you can see is a vast expanse of white sky and earth.

 Being there, one feels as if one's soul has been purified.

Zhi Shu was so happy that he stood in the snow and closed his eyes, enjoying the tranquil atmosphere of isolation.

However, the next second, a sound of horse hooves ran past him.

Zhi Shu opened his eyes and saw the snowstorm horse running wildly in the snow.

 Naoki: “…”

 The quiet atmosphere was instantly broken, and Naoki was forced to withdraw from the mood of enjoying the tranquility.

  Not only are the snowstorm horses running around the pasture, but as the snow stops, the entire pasture becomes lively.

The snow-covered roof was filled with curls of smoke. It was my sister who was in charge of preparing breakfast for everyone.

Babu Groundhog flew out of the living room and flew to the chicken hut to take care of the group of hens.

Bing Eevee took Olinio and Frost Milk Fairy to play a game of drawing with footprints on the snow.

The working Kuailong and Hackron also came to the ranch. Under the leadership of Kuailong, they carried their satchels with fresh goat milk and milk and set off for Zhiqin Town to deliver goods to the customers.

Zhi Shu couldn't help but let out a long sigh. Although the pasture was cut off from the outside world, it wasn't lonely here at all!

Guluton and Motorized Lizard stood beside Zhishu on the left and right, looking at the lively scene and making cheerful noises.

 “Ah~gassing~”

Zhishu noticed that the motorcycle lizard's scarf was about to unravel, so he stepped forward to help it tie it up again.

 Gulton who was on the side saw this scene and took a step forward, head held high.

"Okay, okay, let me tie it again for you." Naoki sighed helplessly: "Really, like a child."

 “Ah gah!” So ​​Luton made a coquettish cry.

That look is like a big enthusiastic golden retriever.

Zhi Shu pushed its head aside and continued today's work of shoveling snow, while checking the conditions of other facilities in the pasture.

 As early as when the temperature dropped last month, he turned on the air conditioning in the chicken house and Pokémon house.

During this period, both the hens and the milk tanks stayed in the air-conditioned room all day and night without going out.

Arriving at the Pokémon hut, Naoki saw the big milk cans inside and smiled at them: "Good morning, everyone! A new day is about to begin!"

 The big milk jugs were lying on the soft hay bed and responded happily.

"very good."

Zhi Shu picked up a comb and combed their fur, then filled the troughs and water troughs with tree fruits and grass, then said goodbye to the big milk cans and turned around to leave.

 Then, they came to the chicken hut.

Babu Woodchuck is talking to the hens here.

I saw it standing in front of a group of hens with its arms akimbo, smiling, and kept calling: "Bamo, Bamo Bamo!"

Seeing Zhi Shu approaching, Babu Tubo turned around and flew to his side: "Bamo~"

 Zhi Shu asked curiously: "Can they understand what you say?"

　　　 Babu Tubo nodded repeatedly: “Bamo!”

These chicks are all his good friends!

Huh? Can Pokémon still communicate with ordinary animals? Naoki looked surprised.

 After traveling to this world for such a long time, Naoki gradually learned some information.

As far as he knows, there are many ordinary animals in this world.

It's just a little different from what he originally thought.

There are no large carnivores like tigers, elephants, lions, or sharks. There are only common edible animals such as chickens, ducks, geese, cows, pigs, fish, and shrimps.

As for how people in this world distinguish between ordinary animals and Pokémon, it is probably based on whether ordinary animals can use moves.

Although some people also regard some Pokémon parts as food...

 For example, Slowpoke sheds its tail regularly, Cod sheds its meat, and Hairy Crab sheds its claws.

However, even though Zhi Shu has been here for so long, he has never eaten these things.

　　Not that he is the Holy Mother, he just feels that Pokémon's emotions and intelligence are similar to those of humans, and some people still treat them as companions and family members.

Under this premise, if you try to eat them again, you will have an indescribable feeling.

 After a moment of reflection, Naoki said goodbye to Babu, turned around and left the chicken hut.

 Sister Ai Guanshi has prepared breakfast.

Zhi Shu took Guluton and Motor Lizard to wash their paws, and then had breakfast with everyone.

 After breakfast, it started to snow again outside.

Zhi Shu had nothing to do, so he simply moved a rocking chair in front of the fireplace, sat there to keep warm, and read a book.

The Pokémon didn't go out anymore. They had nothing to do, so they lay down in front of the fireplace with Naoki to warm themselves up.

 It was snowing outside the window, there was a fireplace burning in the room, and even the air was warm.

Zhi Shu turned his head and glanced at the group of Pokémon around him, and the corners of his mouth could not help but raise slightly.

This feeling... is so great!

“The Chinese New Year will be here in a few days, wow, time flies so fast!” Naoki murmured in his heart.

 Unconsciously, this first year has passed.

The first New Year in the Pokémon world is very meaningful to Naoki.

 He thought hard about what he wanted to do for the Pokémon to remember in the future.

However, after thinking about it for a long time, I still had no clue. What he can do is probably prepare a sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner for the Pokémon around him.

“I happen to still have a lot of ingredients at home. In that case, let me cook all the dishes I have made this year!”

 In the afternoon, the figure of King Lei Guan appeared in front of Naoki.

He said to Naoki with excitement: "My strength has been restored and I can start the second cultivation!"

Hearing this, Naoki's eyes lit up, and he quickly came to the World Tree with King Lei Guan, regardless of the fact that it was still snowing outside.

 Seeing that they seemed to be doing something to the World Tree, Meng Meng and Baby Bear also followed them curiously.

 Gulton, Motorized Lizard, Bubba, Frost Milk Fairy, Olinio, Ice Eevee, Mounted Goat, Love to Manage Brothers and Sisters...

 A group of Pokémon surrounded the World Tree.

Naoki and King Lei Guan stepped forward. King Lei Guan looked around with a smile on his face, and then, a powerful momentum burst out from his body.

The vital energy swept away in all directions and turned into a hemispherical energy shield, shrouding the World Tree in it.

 The next second, all the snow on the ground melted, and green grass sprouted from the ground in this vibrant energy storm.

Yggdrasil is also changing along with it.

 Its trunk became thicker and taller, and more green leaves grew on the originally bare branches.

 Zhi Shu's eyes were firmly locked on the World Tree in front of him.

 Under his gaze, the growth period of this world tree began to change at a speed visible to the naked eye!

[World Tree Seedling: A seed sapling that has absorbed a large amount of power from grass. Because of the goat it is mounted on, it undergoes changes during its growth. The majestic vitality is brewing in it, and finally breaks out of the ground. It is still a long way from growing up. It takes 97995 years. ]

  [97980. ]

  [97500 years. ]

  [96980. ]

  [96001. ]

  [95995. ]

 Finally, the number was fixed at 95,995.

The World Tree in front of us has grown into a tree about 1.8 meters tall, as tall as an adult!

The branches of the World Tree are covered with emerald green and dense leaves, with strands of bright green energy flowing slowly on them. Just by looking at it, you can feel the extraordinary nature of this tree.

 The Pokémon on the side also noticed this scene.

 Meng Meng and Baby Bear's eyes widened in disbelief.

 “One!” (The leaves are glowing!)

 “miu!” (Lei Guanwang is so awesome!)

A smile appeared on Lei Guan's face. He raised his head and looked at the trees in front of him with satisfaction, and then exclaimed:

“It's incredible! In just over four thousand years, this world tree has grown into what it is. What it will look like in one hundred thousand years is really exciting!”

Naoki recalled the world tree in the theatrical version, used it as a reference, and replied: "It will probably be hundreds or thousands of meters high, right?"

But as soon as he finished speaking, Naoki suddenly realized something.

If the world tree in front of you can grow so tall, then the pasture will probably be swallowed up by it, right?

 This is not good news.

　　Naoki couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

"Hundreds of meters to thousands of meters..." King Lei Guan compared the scene he saw when he used Prediction of the Future. He was about to say something when he saw Naoki frowning and tangled.

“Why are you troubled?” King Lei Guan asked puzzledly.

Zhishu glanced at him and truthfully stated the troubles in his heart:

“I was thinking that if this tree grows that big, the pasture will be finished.”

This is his home and he doesn't want this place to disappear…

Hearing this, King Lei Guan immediately thought of the future scene he had seen through time.

"You don't need to worry." King Lei Guan said: "I have foreseen the future of this tree. After a long time, it will leave the earth, fly to the sky, and finally float high in the sky."

 “What?” Naoki didn't respond.

 The World Tree...is flying into the sky?

 “How was it done?” he asked in surprise.

Lei Guanwang shook his head slightly: "I have no way of knowing. Predicting the future can only allow me to see the ending, but not the process."

Just like when he saw Wuji Tai coming to the Galar region.

 “Okay…” Naoki still didn't come back to his senses.

How did such a big tree fly into the sky?

This is too unscientific, right? Isn't it affected by gravity? Or has anyone installed an anti-gravity system on it?

 While thinking, Naoki noticed the tired look on King Lei Guan's face.

"Forget it, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain. Since that is the future, we will definitely find a way later." Naoki said to King Lei Guan: "Thank you for your hard work, go and have a rest! I will prepare grass for you right away. Dango and grass cake!”

 King Lei Guan nodded slightly, and then his figure disappeared from the place and returned to the glass flower room.

Naoki also returned to the living room with a group of Pokémon. He let a few Pokémon play by themselves, while he went to the kitchen to prepare snacks and afternoon tea for King Lei Guan that could restore energy.

On the way to deliver the snacks to the glass greenhouse, Naoki saw three mount goats surrounding the World Tree, lying on the grassland spawned by King Lei Guan, chewing something unknown in their mouths.

“…What are you eating?” Naoki couldn't help but ask.

 Hearing Naoki's question, one of the goats opened its mouth, and a piece of green leaf lay in it.

 Naoki immediately opened his eyes wide.

The mount goat starts to eat the world tree!

Just when he thought the goat was attracted by the World Tree and took the initiative to eat the leaves, three leaves suddenly fell from the lush green trees.

The three leaves were shining with green light, swirling and falling in front of the three goats.

 “Yeah!”

 The eyes of the mounted goats lit up, and they lowered their heads to eat the leaves into their mouths.

 Naoki: “?”

What's happening here?

Zhi Shu stared at this scene blankly.

Is it possible that World Tree has its own consciousness? Or is it the will of nature? Or is it the will of the world? It selected the mount goat?

Zhi Shu fell into deep thought, and soon he remembered the original tree of the world in the theatrical version.

It is equipped with a defense system internally. Once it senses an invasion from outsiders, the three guardian pillars will come out to stop the intruders.

"No way?"

Zhi Shu walked up to the world tree in disbelief.

 At this time, the world tree seemed to feel something.

 Following that, another leaf slowly fell from the tree.

Seeing this scene, an incredible idea immediately came to Naoki's mind.

He and his goat have watered and fertilized the world tree before! So World Tree regarded him as one of its own!

Thinking of this, Naoki subconsciously stretched out his hand to catch the leaf.

He looked down, and the next second, the information about this leaf emerged from his mind.

[Immature leaves of the World Tree: Mythical items, leaves containing the power of nature. They are coveted treasures for grass-type Pokémon. They are extremely rare, and their specific effects are unknown. ]
