Not a Trainer This Time Chapter 32

Chapter 32 Familiarity (two chapters in one)

Watching Dr. Olin and Little Piper leave, Naoki returned indoors. Looking at this familiar video phone, he thought of the scene in the anime where Ash called Dr. Oak at the Pokémon Center.

The arrival of Dr. Olin also made him aware of the time node he was currently at.

　　Ten years before the plot of Zhuzi took place, at this time, Xiaozhi probably had not yet traveled, but it was possible that he had just left for a short time.

 It would be interesting if that were the case.

 Because this means that Mewtwo has not yet been born, Lugia has not yet exploded, Groudon and Kyogre have not yet awakened, and Team Galaxy has not yet controlled the twin gods of time and space...

Of course, the premise of all this is that Xiaozhi exists in this world.

However, whether he is present or not, it seems to have nothing to do with him.

 Because he is just an ordinary rancher.

 Life must go on.

He has not made any profits today, and he cannot continue like this.

Zhishu sighed, picked up the iron bucket and rode Gulton to the upper reaches of the river.

 When he came back, the iron bucket was already full of fish.

 At five o'clock in the evening, Zach drove the truck to collect the goods on time.

As the temperature gradually warmed up, Zach took off his thick jacket and went out to work wearing only a short shirt.

Looking at the brand-new pasture, Zach said with emotion: "Oh, this is really different every day!"

He looked at the seedlings in the field and said to Zhishu: "In half a month, the crops in the field will be mature."

 Naoki: “Yes!”

"Before you plant the next batch of crops, you can go to the town to buy some fertilizer to fertilize them. The higher the quality of the crops, the higher the price will be!" Zach said casually, and then asked : "Did you gain anything today?"

 Zhishu handed over the bucket of fish.

Zach counted it, then took out his account book and made calculations. Finally, he took out a wad of money from his satchel and handed it over with a smile: "The total is two thousand six hundred and twenty alliance coins, please keep it!"

 Zhi Shu reached out and took it.

 Zach loaded the goods into the car, then sat in the driver's seat. While reversing the car, he waved to Naoki: "See you tomorrow!"

Zhi Shu also said: "See you tomorrow!"

 After seeing Zach off, the sky also darkened.

 It was getting late, so Naoki returned to the house to prepare dinner.

  The Cream Fairy jumped down from the cupboard and ran to the desk to play with Mini Fu.

Zhi Shu looked at them and thought that these two little guys had been staying indoors for the past two days and had not gone out much, so he said to them: "Don't you feel bored staying in the house all the time? You should go out for a walk occasionally!"

 “Mama…”

Hearing this, Frost Milk Fairy and Minifu looked outside, seeming to be a little scared of the unfamiliar world.

 Naoki understands.

　　Before coming here, Frosty Milk Fairy and Miffy had been living in the fields of Happy Pasture. They grew up there, so naturally they were not afraid.

Now, they have come to a completely unfamiliar pasture. For them, only this small wooden house and straight trees can bring them a sense of security.

 So, they have been playing indoors for the past two days and have not gone out.

 “This can't go on like this!”

Zhi Shu thought for a while and decided to take the two of them for a walk in the pasture after dinner to get familiar with the environment.

Today's dinner Naoki prepared a fragrant and mellow creamy mushroom soup, Chinese meat buns, pan-fried pork chops sprinkled with black pepper, original hard-boiled eggs, and finally finished with five cups of milk with different fruit juices added. .

This is how a sumptuous dinner is completed.

Several Pokémon ate happily.

  Mini Fu and Frost Milk Fairy eat very well, chewing slowly and slowly.

The eating appearance of Luton and the Motorized Lizard are simply carved out of the same mold, unrestrained and rough, with their eating paws and mouths covered with oil.

Zhi Shu reminded with a serious expression: "After eating, remember to go to the faucet outside to wash your face and paws!"

Last time he went to put away the dishes, but when he turned around he saw that the sheets and the floor were covered in oil stains by the two of them.

 So Luton and Motorized Lizard nodded in agreement obediently.

 They know it!

 Soon, dinner time is over.

Zhi Shu was going to wash the dishes, so Luton and Motor Lizard went to the faucet outside to wash their mouths and paws.

Seeing that they were able to take care of themselves, Naoki nodded with satisfaction and turned to the kitchen to clean up with confidence.

When Mini Fu and Frost Milk Fairy saw the two big guys, they looked at each other, looking at each other's mouths and little hands.

 “Mama!” Let's go and wash ourselves too and make ourselves clean!

 "Fu..." Mini Fu looked at Guledon and Motorized Lizard with some fear.

 Compared to it, Frost Milk Fairy is a little bolder.

 Because after getting along with each other for these two days, it found that the two big Pokémon were not hostile to them.

This made the Frost Milk Fairy, who was a little scared at first, not so scared anymore.

It took Niffle and jumped out of the chair, quietly moving to the door with only half of its head exposed to look at Gulton and the Motorized Lizard.

 Huluton has changed from a galloping posture on all fours to a fighting posture with two feet upright.

Looking like this, it is filled with an unparalleled wild aura. Coupled with its height of nearly two meters and its muscular body, it gives people a very terrifying sense of oppression.

It was holding its head high and its chest high, with a fierce look on its face. It grabbed the faucet with its big paws and sprayed it on the paws of the shorter motorcycle lizard beside it.

 “Ma…Ma…” It's so scary…

 The Frost Milk Fairy was a little hesitant.

Seeing it like this, Mini Fu on the side simply asked: "Fu?" Didn't you just say you're not afraid of that big guy?

 “Ma!” Only! No!

In order not to lose face in front of her companions, Frost Milk Fairy took a deep breath and mustered up the courage to take a step forward.

 At this time, Luton discovered them.

It turned its head, its golden pupils narrowed slightly, staring closely at the little Frost Milk Fairy and Mini Fu.

Frost Milk Fairy felt as if she was being targeted by the most terrifying predator in the world, and her little body suddenly turned to stone.

 Fortunately, Gulton quickly withdrew his gaze, and he shouted at them: "Ah!"

 “Fu?” Mini Fu asked tremblingly, is it calling us?

 "Mah...Mah..." seems to be... What should I do?

 The Frost Milk Fairy was also a little flustered.

Seeing their appearance, Luton felt a little speechless.

 It restrained its tone: "Ah gah..."

Hunting the Motorized Lizard away, Luton stepped forward to catch the Frost Milk Fairy and Mini Fu, and then used the faucet to help them water them.

　After a while, the bodies of Mini Fu and Frost Milk Fairy, which were stiff with fear, relaxed.

 They realized belatedly that, apart from looking scary, this big guy didn't seem to be hurting them?

 When Zhi Shu came back after taking a bath, there was no sign of Frosty Milk Fairy and Mini Fu in the house.

He was confused and heard the sound of water outside. When he walked out the door, he saw Gulton playing with them in the water.

 The Motorized Lizard stood aside and watched stupidly, without stepping forward.

 It doesn't seem to like being near the Frost Milk Fairy. "Is it because of the restraint of attributes?" Naoki thought.

 After all, the Fairy-type Frost Milk Fairy is twice as powerful as the Dragon-type Motorized Lizard.

However, Guluton, who is also a dragon, does not seem to reject the Frost Milk Fairy at all.

 Perhaps it's because Guluton is strong enough to ignore the influence of Frost Milk Fairy's attributes, right? Naoki thought.

Seeing him coming, several Pokémon also stopped.

 Zhi Shu returned to the house and took out a towel to dry the water on Frosty Milk Fairy and Mini Fu.

 He asked curiously: "How do you feel?"

 The Frost Milk Fairy's voice sounded very happy: "Ma!"

 Mini Fu also looked very happy: "Fu~"

 It seems that they like Guledun very much!

After drying their bodies, Naoki took them to wander around the pasture, one by one, and introduced the pasture to them.

 Hulton and Motorized Lizard followed behind.

　　At this time, the sky has not completely darkened. A ray of setting sun remains on the horizon, and the entire land is shrouded in gentle twilight.

　　The hens returned to the chicken hut after grazing for a day, lay down on the hay and began to close their eyes to rest.

 The crops in the farmland are growing well. The fastest-growing turnip has already grown several large leaves, and the fruits buried underground may have begun to take shape.

Zhi Shu took a few Pokémon for a walk on the grass. He pointed to the fence surrounding the pasture in the distance and said to Frosty Milk Fairy and Mini Fu:

“Those fenced areas are our pastures. It's safe here and no bad guys will hurt you.”

 Mini Fu and Frost Milk Fairy looked around curiously.

Zhi Shu said with a smile: "There are many wild flowers blooming in this grass, and there are many butterflies flying around in the grass during the day."

The grass in this world grows very vigorously. With a little trimming, it becomes a neat lawn, which looks very beautiful.

 Because of this, Naoshu only cut down the extra trees and did not use a sickle to cut off the grass.

He planned to wait two days to process the stones in the utility room and lay a stone road in the pasture connecting the chicken hut and the wooden house.

Seeing the curious expressions of Frost Milk Fairy and Mini Fu, Naoki said to them:

“When it's daytime tomorrow, you can come over and take a look. There are many butterflies and flowers.”

 “Ma!”

 The two Pokémon began to look forward to it.

 After Naoki's introduction, they had a preliminary impression of this pasture—a place surrounded by fences is a safe place.

 I am no longer so afraid of the world outside.

Walking around the pasture, the last ray of clouds on the horizon disappeared, and Naoki stopped the walk until the sun could no longer be seen.

 He returned to the house with a few Pokémon.

Frosty Milk Fairy went to the cupboard, while Mini Fu returned to the flowerpot and sat on the edge, swaying her little feet and yawning, with a sleepy look on her face.

 “Go to sleep!” Naoki said with a smile.

Minifu responded, lying on her back in the flower pot, lying on the soft soil and closing her eyes in peace, and soon began to snore.

　　Zhi Shu turned around, looked at Gulton and Motorized Lizard beside the bed, then sat on the bed and packed up his things.

He is going to leave for Cauldron Lake tomorrow morning. Since he doesn't know if he can make it back in time at noon, Naoki plans to prepare some nutritionally balanced sandwiches and tree juice for the Motorized Lizards.

This time, in addition to looking for new fishing spots, Zhi Shu also planned to hire a water Pokémon that could use a water gun and pray for rain to come back to work.

 At the same time, you have to bring some food, because capturing Pokémon is a technical job.

 Based on my experience of watching anime for many years, if you want to tame a wild Pokémon, in addition to fighting, you can also abduct it through food, and invest in emotions.

 After all, orcs will never be slaves unless they have food and shelter.

 Pokémon are even simpler than orcs. Except for Pokémon that can only be conquered through battle, most of them just need to give it a little food and it will follow you.

 So, Zhi Shu made a few more dishes that were delicious, tasty, and suitable for Pokémon who like to eat tree fruits, like to eat meat, and have a sweet, spicy, or sour taste.

These dishes also need to be easy to carry and store.

 After working overtime to finish them, Naoki put them into his backpack. When he opened the zipper, he suddenly saw a few Poké Balls on the bottom.

Looking at them, Naoki suddenly remembered something.

 Dr. Olin didn't give him Gullton's Poké Ball!

  No, to be precise, Luton's Poké Ball has been destroyed by it!

The image of Gullton using his dragon claw to fly away the Poké Ball appeared in Naoki's mind.

So the question is, after the Poke Ball is destroyed, does the mark it left on the Pokémon still exist?

 After pondering for a moment, Naoki picked up a Poké Ball and used it on Guluton.

 But a few seconds passed, and there was no response from the elf ball.

 “It seems that the mark is still there.” Naoki thought to himself.

 He threw the Poké Ball into his backpack, and as soon as he zipped it up, he suddenly remembered something.

 He reopened his backpack and casually took out a red and white ball from it and brought it to the Motorized Lizard.

 “Quaao?”

Motor Lizard quickly recognized the Poké Ball, and it also realized that its master finally planned to conquer it.

The Motorized Lizard had a happy expression on its face. It took the initiative to put its head up. The moment it touched the button in the center of the Poké Ball, its body turned into a red light and was taken in.

 Then, it shook slightly twice and then became quiet.

 This means that the conquest is successful.

 “Is this what it feels like to conquer a Pokémon?”

Zoki held the Poké Ball in his hand and weighed it, held it weakly and then made a throwing motion.

  This is how the trainers in anime he watched throw Poké Balls.

However, because he was worried that the Poke Ball would hit the wall and be damaged, Naoki did not actually throw it, but held it in his hand and pressed the button.

Shortly afterwards, the elf ball opened automatically, and a beam of light shot out, revealing the figure of the Motorized Lizard on the wooden floor.

 “How do you feel?” Naoki asked.

The Motorized Lizard looked very excited: "Gah!"

Judging from its reaction, entering the Poké Ball seems to feel good.

 But in Naoki's view, there are good and bad differences between Poke Balls.

 Ordinary red and white **** are the most basic elf balls, and then there are advanced balls, super balls, luxury balls, etc.

  The further back you go, the better the performance and living environment of the Poké Ball will be.

The interior space of the luxury ball, which can make Pokémon feel luxurious and comfortable, has been personally verified by Meowth, one of the Team Rocket trio.

 Forget it, let's make do with it now. When he makes a lot of money later, he can give the Motorized Lizard a luxurious ball to live in.

 As for now, it's getting late, it's time to go to bed!

　　Naoki stretched, took off his clothes and threw himself on the bed.

  Didn't notice at all the way Luton looked at the Poké Ball.

 “Ghiss?”
