Not a Trainer This Time Chapter 325

Chapter 325 Missing

 The story ended, and the atmosphere in the air was extremely silent for a while. No one spoke first.

Zhi Shu recalled what he had seen in the Fear Cave before. In that small space, there were extremely smooth stone beds, tables and benches that had been polished.

 He could almost imagine the original scene in his mind.

 Men from other places found the cave with their Eguitun and prepared to settle there.

Together they found large, uneven stones on the mountain and moved them back to the cave. With the expectation of a new life, they carefully polished the surface of the stones smooth.

 Bed for sleeping, table for eating, stool for resting...

　　Until the arrival of the three greedy Pokémon broke this peaceful life.

The man lost his life in this accident, leaving Eguifen alone in the cave full of memories.

At this moment, Naoki finally knew why Eguifen was so sad when he asked her if she had always lived alone here.

"well."

The old man in front of him let out a distant sigh: "The real history is completely opposite to the legends known to everyone in the village. What would happen if they knew that the three companions they buried generously were bad Pokémon? I can't even imagine it.”

No one can guarantee whether he will be regarded as a heretic and be brutally persecuted again.

 Zhi Shu nodded: "I understand."

The old man's eyes swept over the Pokémon around him again. He was about to say something when the door to the room was suddenly pushed open.

"boom!"

 A little boy about four or five years old and an older girl walked straight in.

The two people who were eavesdropping had angry faces: "That's too much! People in the village treat ghosts like this!"

Seeing the two of them, the old man and Xuezi were shocked. They quickly stepped forward and pulled them in. Then they took a closer look outside and saw that no one else heard what they just said. They breathed a sigh of relief and closed the door again.

Xuezi covered the girl's mouth and warned: "Keep your voice down, don't tell anyone!"

 The girl was furious: "But...but!"

The boy was silent and did not speak, but judging from his expression, he must also be very angry.

The old man looked helpless: "It's not a good boy to eavesdrop on adults!"

 The siblings lowered their heads with guilty conscience.

The old man sighed: "Well, I originally planned to wait until you grow up before telling you, but since you have all heard it, keep this truth firmly in your heart and never tell it to the outside world!"

Xuezi looked at Naoki and said, "Sorry for making you laugh. These two children are my granddaughter Danyu and grandson Wuli."

Zhi Shu looked at the two unknown people in front of him and nodded, which was regarded as saying hello to them.

 After calming down his granddaughter and grandson, the old man looked at Naoki and said to him:

"Looking at you, you are a very powerful trainer, right? In that case, then use the trainer's method to subdue Ergui and take it away from this place!"

Hearing this, Zhi Shuxin said that it would be okay if Ergui was a wild Pokémon, but looking at it now, it is obvious that Ergui is not a wild Pokémon.

He is willing to take Eguifen away from here to start a new life, but it is not certain whether Eguifen is willing to leave this place full of memories.

 “I will try hard.” Naoki said.

“Then it's up to you.” The old man nodded: “If you need help with anything, you can come to us and help make up for the villagers' debt to Eguifen!”

Zhishu nodded, then stood up and said goodbye to the old man, turned around and left here, preparing to visit Eguifen again.

But before he could walk out the door, the two children named Dan Yu and Wu Li chased him out.

 “Uncle!” Dan Yu shouted.

Zhi Shu's face darkened. He seems not that old, right? !

Danyu turned to look at his younger brother who was hiding behind him, with a look of hatred on his face, and then roared at him loudly: "Wuli, you coward, tell me what you have to say!"

Wuli then stepped forward hesitantly, and then mustered up the courage to ask: "Um, are you a trainer?"

 Zhi Shu looked at him and nodded: "That's right!"

 There is nothing wrong with being a rancher as a main business and a trainer as a side job.

Wuli breathed a sigh of relief, and then whispered: "I have liked Ekuei Chun very much since I was a child. After listening to what my grandfather said just now, I hope that it can live a better life, so if Ekuei Chun is willing to leave here, You must take good care of it!"

Naoki was stunned for a moment, then nodded with a smile: "I will."

 Farewell to the two siblings, Naoki rode Gulton directly to the Ghost Mountain and found the cave again.

However, what surprised him was that Eguifen was not here.

Zhishu looked around but couldn't find Eguifen's figure. It seemed that it had gone out.

 In desperation, he had no choice but to return to Green Town.

 Late night, ghost mountain.

Eguifen sat on the stone bench holding his mask as usual, but compared to before, there was a pile of fruit on the stone table today.

 Equie Ming blankly recalled what happened in the past two days.

That day, it met the strange human being on the ghost mountain.

 In Eguifen's impression, no one has dared to come to this place for a long, long time.

So it hid and quietly observed the other party's actions.

 As it turned out, the other party was very keen and discovered it at once, and followed it to find its home.

 At first, Eguifen was very panicked and fearful. It originally thought that the human would drive it away and attack it.

 But instead of doing this, the other party greeted it friendly and gave it a few fruits.

Eguifen was very surprised, but it was too scared, and it had never encountered such a thing before, so it rushed out of the door and ran away.

When it returned to the cave, it saw a mountain of tree fruits on the stone table.

Equifen originally thought that the other person would never come back after leaving, but the next day, the man came here again, talked to it friendly and cordially, and gave it some food before leaving.

But there are so many tree fruits that it can't finish them all!

 Will he come again tomorrow? A trace of expectation emerged in Erguifen's heart.

Eguifen looked at the table full of tree fruits in front of him, and suddenly thought of what happened a long, long time ago.

 When it was still in its infancy, a tall human adopted it.

The man brought it here and took care of it like a child.

 He will also find fruit from trees outside and put it on the table for it to eat.

 In Ergui's heart, the other party is like its father.

However...the man left.

That day, it went to the town angrily and killed the four greedy Pokémon in order to avenge the man.

 But the person who adopted it never came back.

 “Crack!”

A teardrop fell on the damaged green grass mask, and then another drop.

Missing her silently, Ergui buried her face in her mask, sobbing repressedly with the sudden heavy rain outside.

 Early the next morning.

 A sudden heavy rain enveloped the entire Green Town.

 The agricultural exchange meeting was forced to be suspended, and Zhi Shu could only stay in the public hall and listen to the rain.

Several Pokémon stayed listlessly in the room.

Zhishu looked at it for a while, then stood up immediately, put them back into the elf balls, put on his raincoat, and flew to Ghost Mountain on Guluton.

 Until he saw the figure of Egui Peng holding a mask in the fear cave, Naoki felt relieved.

 He took Gulledon and got into the hole.

After learning the story of Eguifen, Naoki no longer feels right about Eguifen.

 Because this Pokémon is so pitiful.

Hated by the people in Green Town, I could only hide alone in this cave full of memories holding that mask all day long.

  Overflowing with sympathy, Naoki walked in with a backpack of food. He didn't know how to comfort Eguitun, so he could only pour the food on the stone table and give it to it, completely ignoring that Eguitun had not finished eating the fruits from yesterday.

　Egui looked blankly at the busy humans in front of him.

It originally thought that the other party would not come today...

"Here!" Naoki grinned, and then handed over a bottle of goat milk that had been heated at the public hall. In order to prevent the goat milk from getting cold, he put it in his pocket and covered it: "It's cold in rainy days, drink some. It's warm to warm your body.”

 He put the goat's milk into Ergui's hand, then turned around and took out a towel from his backpack to help Gulledon wipe the cold rain on his body to prevent him from catching a cold.

 Seeing Ergui looking this way, Zhishu comforted him: "Don't be afraid of it. It's called Guluton. It looks a bit fierce, but it's actually very docile!"

 “Ah gah!” So ​​Leden shook the rainwater from his body vigorously, and it covered Zhishu's body.

　　After wiping Gu Ledun's body clean, Naoki opened his backpack again, took out the blanket that the nurturing siblings had stuffed for him and spread it on the stone bed.

 Then, the lava bugs were released from the elf ball.

 With the help of the warm lava worms, the cold cave quickly became warm.

It is raining heavily outside the cave, but inside the cave there is a beautiful and warm scene.

Even the dusty walls were illuminated a warm orange by the firelight of the lava worms.

 In just a few minutes, earth-shaking changes took place in this cave.

　　It was so fast that Eguifen didn't even react.

Zhi Shu took out a pan directly from his backpack, placed it on the lava worm, and began to make breakfast for Ergui.

"I'm sorry to bother you, lava worm." As he said that, Zhishu fed two berries to the lava worm. When the lava worm ate all the berries, its body heat surged upwards.

 The oil in the pan quickly heated up and made a crackling sound.

　　Zhi Shu quickly cracked in the eggs and put in the sliced ​​tomatoes. After the process was completed, he baked two slices of fragrant bread with the help of lava worms.

 Finally, put the fried eggs and other ingredients into the soft bread, and a warm sandwich is completed.

Zhi Shu handed the sandwich to Ergui Peng, "Eat it quickly!"

　Egui Peng's face was at a loss.

At this moment, Naoki realized whether his actions might seem a little too abrupt for Erguifen.

So he thought for a moment and told Ekipun what happened: "Don't worry, Ekipun."

As soon as he heard the human in front of him calling out his name, Erguipun showed a very obvious expression of surprise on his face.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　ifies…?

“A villager at the foot of the mountain has told me everything about you.”

“That man is a descendant of the craftsman who made the mask for you. He is very sorry for everything you have gone through.”

"I'm very sad, but I knew from the first moment I saw you that you are not the cruel ghost that the rumors said."

Hearing this, Ergui looked up. Its eyes were like bright stars.

Zhishu grinned: "So, believe me, we have no ill intentions, and we will not hurt you, let alone hate you, because you have never done anything wrong."

Eguifen was stunned. It looked at the human in front of it, and then a happy expression appeared on its face.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　ifies

 “Eat!”

Equip finally started to eat the sandwich, but as he was eating, big tears suddenly fell from his eyes.

　　The experience of loneliness for many years, the rejection, the grievance of having the mask taken away, the pain of my father being hurt by bad guys...

All kinds of emotions were intertwined, making Eguifen so sad that she burst into tears uncontrollably.

Zhi Shu was a little confused. Why did he cry all of a sudden?

Zhishu didn't know what to do. He stood up in a hurry, but he never thought that a few pokeballs in his pocket accidentally fell out.

The Poke Ball that fell to the ground automatically opened upon impact, and the figures of the two Pokémon emerged from the white light.

 One is a flutter and the other is a motorcycle lizard.

Motor Lizard saw that Pokémon was crying so sadly, and couldn't help but be confused.

The fluttering gaze turned to the Pokémon.

As a ghost-type Pokémon, it keenly felt a strong obsession there.

I saw a tall and majestic figure standing next to Eguifen, looking at it.

As if realizing that he had been discovered, the ghost turned his head and looked at Zhan Yifa.

　　When Ergui stopped crying, Naoki wiped its tears, and then asked: "Do you want to leave here with us?"

Ergui was stunned for a moment.

Zhi Shu said truthfully: "I am a trainer who came here from other places. In a few days, I will leave here."

“So, I want to take you away from this place and go to my hometown. No one there will be afraid of you or exclude you. They are all good people who like Pokémon very much.”

“There are many Pokémon living together in my home. You can also meet many new friends there. Do you want to come with us?”

 Speaking, Naoki stretched out his hand towards Eguifen.

Egui Peng listened to these words in a daze.

It lowered its head and looked at the mask in its hand, and then at the human in front of it, thinking that after the other person left, they would never see them again...

Thinking of this, Eguifen couldn't help but feel very sad.

But…

Looking at the hand that extended the invitation, Ergui looked around again and glanced at the warm cave.

It suddenly felt very scared, and it didn't want to go back to that cold and lonely atmosphere.

So, Eguifen mustered up the courage, carefully stretched out his hand, and placed his hand on the human hand in front of him.

Zhishu felt relieved in his heart, and then he held Eguipun's slightly cold hand with his backhand.

“Then, come home with me!” Naoki said softly.

 “Boni!”

The rain outside stopped at some point, and Naoki led a few Pokémon out of the Cave of Fear.

 After the rain, the sky clears up, and there is a cloudless blue sky overhead.

Just looking up at the sky will make people feel relaxed.

Zhishu did not leave immediately. He turned around and looked at the cave where Eguifen once lived, and silently promised in his heart:

“Don't worry, I will definitely take good care of Erguifen and never let it fall into the same situation again!”

At the same time, Zhui Yifa was also looking back at the direction of the cave entrance.

 It saw the ghost come out, stood in front of the cave entrance, looked at them, and waved goodbye to them.

Zhan Yifa felt that the strong obsession was dissipating, and eventually, the ghost disappeared into the world.

 “Flapping wings?”

 At this time, Naoki's voice came from behind.

Fluttering hair, he turned his head.

Zoki took out the Poké Ball and said to it: "We should go back!"

"Dream."

He fluttered his wings in response, turned around and got into the elf ball.

Recommended book: Fox Ju's book, The Beginning of Ergui Pun, is very good and worth reading!
