Not a Trainer This Time Chapter 356

Chapter 356 Gift

 April 5th, Year 199 of the Alliance Calendar.

 The ship arrived in the Padia region successfully.

 The white long-winged gulls chirped and flew across the sky and landed on the top of the lighthouse.

 Golden beaches, blue sea, high-rise buildings full of modern atmosphere...

This is Niangguang City, the most technologically advanced and commercially prosperous Niangguang City in the Padia region!

Zhi Shu took Gu Ledun to the city again, and when he returned to his hometown, he felt his whole body relax.

Looking around happily, Zhi Shu said to Gu Ledun: "Let's go! Go to the mall to buy some gifts and take them back to give to everyone!"

 “Ah, geez~” Guluton replied happily in the same voice.

This time when he came back, Zhi Shu did not call the ranch to report. He planned to give everyone a surprise quietly.

Through the bustling streets, Zhishu came straight to a tall building.

This is the most prosperous shopping mall in Nianguang City.

From furniture and electrical appliances, to vegetables and fruits, to food, clothing, housing and transportation, and even things for Pokémon.

Zhi Shu has been here several times before and has already become familiar with the environment here.

Before going to pick out gifts for everyone, he first went to the shopping mall on the third floor and bought a fruit mixer there to make energy cubes.

 After that, we took the elevator all the way up to the gift area on the twelfth floor.

In order not to attract attention, Naoki released his Pokémon in two batches.

 The first batch of members are Frost Milk Fairy, Bing Yibu, Ergui Pun and Babu Tubo.

Several Pokémon immediately lined up in a row. Frosty was carried on top of Babutu's head, and they looked at Naoki together with them.

As the leader of Pokémon, Naoki introduced many Pokémon to them with a smile:

“Go, this is a place that specializes in selling Pokémon toys. If you like anything, just go and get it. I will pay you the bill later.”

 “Bamo!”

 “Mama!”

 “Boni!”

 All the Pokémon cheered in unison, and then dispersed like children, wandering among the shelves, picking out what they liked.

 Zhi Shu pushed the cart and followed behind them with a smile.

 He looked at the Cream Fairy standing in front of a jar of exquisite candies with her hands on her hips, then turned back and pointed at the candy jar.

Zhishu immediately stepped forward to help Frosty Milk Fairy throw the candy jar into the trolley.

Frost Milk Fairy also jumped over and jumped into the basket of the trolley, letting Zhi Shu push it away.

Soon, Babu Woodchuck also flew back with a can of cereal.

It saw the Frosty Milk Fairy in the trolley and was immediately attracted to it. Then he put the cereal into the trolley and sat down next to the Frosty Milk Fairy.

The two Pokémon looked forward happily, cheering from their mouths.

 “Mama~!”

 “Bamo~!”

“Two little fools.” Naoki said with a smile. He looked at Ice Eevee running back with a small dinosaur doll in his mouth.

Bing Eevee looked at the two Pokémon on the cart, and there was some movement on his face, as if he wanted to sit on it too.

 But due to its character, it is a little embarrassed to speak.

Seeing this, Naoki picked up the Ice Eevee from the ground and put it into the cart amidst exclamations.

 Guluton on the side had a face filled with emotion.

 It put its big head over and wanted to sit on it.

Zhi Shu suddenly had black lines on his head and pushed Gu Ledun's big face with his hand: "No, you will crush the car!"

Hearing this, Luton's head immediately dropped, with a look of grievance on his face.

 “Ah gah hiss…”

Zhi Shu felt soft, thought for a while, and changed his words: "Not this time. I will buy a pickup truck when I get home, and then I will drive and take Qi out together."

 “Ah gah!”

 Guluton was very coaxed, and the dark clouds above his head immediately turned clear, revealing a dazzling and bright sun.

At this time, Ergui ran back with a Pikachu mask. It saw Baboo and the others looking very happy in the cart, and an eager expression immediately appeared on their face.

 “Boni!”

 Naoki: “…”

 He observed the structure of the trolley, and then asked Gu Ledun to push the second one over.

Zhishu directed Ergui to sit in, and then moved the Frost Milk Fairy, Babu Tubo and Ice Eevee to its side and arms.

　　The cart containing the goods was pushed by Gullerton, while Naoki pushed a group of Pokémon to stroll slowly among the shelves.

 While he was thinking about the preferences of the Pokémon in the pasture, he was choosing gifts for them.

“This Pokémon nest is very good. I'll buy a few more and use them as nests for the Motorized Lizards.”

“This set of elk hats from the Christmas series is very cute. I bought it as a gift for Kuailong and Hackron to dress up.”

"Ah! Are these Bozhi glasses? They are calm and mature, and it seems to be the style that my brother likes to care about."

“In that case, let's give this blue silk scarf to my sister as a gift.”

“This thing seems to be charcoal that fire-type Pokémon would like? Buy it back and give it to the lava bug.”

 After shopping around for a few times, Naoki finally finished selecting the gifts for everyone.

 So Lurton's cart was already filled to the brim.

Seeing that Babu Tubo and Ergui were a little tired from playing, Zhi Shu took them back into the Poké Ball and replaced them with Kuailong, Motorized Lizard and Flapping Wings.

 Zhishu repeated what he had just said to Babu Tubo and the others.

 The three Pokémon immediately ran out happily.

 Finally, Kuailong picked a salted fish doll and planned to hold it to sleep in the future.

Motor Lizard looked left and right, and finally picked a box of snack gift packs. It contained a lot of delicious food. It can share it with everyone when it returns!

The Motorized Lizard had a happy smile on his face.

Zhan Yifa followed the smell and floated downstairs along the escalator. He stopped in front of a vegetable market selling meat and looked at the fresh steaks and ribs with a faint look.

 The butcher was shocked by this Pokémon.

Zhi Shu ran over and saw the fluttering hair, so he quickly pushed it back:

“These things can be bought at home, so there's no need to buy them from here!”

"Dream…"

Fluttering Hair seemed to understand, then turned around and floated back dragging a special large bone used by canine Pokémon to grind their teeth.

Zhishu reached out to take it, read the introduction above, and then looked at the two pointed little tiger teeth in Zhanyifa's mouth, and an expression of sudden realization suddenly appeared on his face.

 Looks like Zhenyifa wants to grind his teeth!

 After arriving at the ranch, Zhanyifa has always eaten cooked food, and there is almost no need to hunt alone.

This also resulted in it not biting prey for a long time, and the teeth could not be polished by hunting, which made it a little itchy and made Flapping Hair a little unaccustomed.

This is an oversight on his part, Naoki thought.

“In that case, I'll pack this big bone!” Naoki said.

Fluttering Hair responded lightly, and then took the initiative to run back into the elf ball. Zhi Shu took out the Poke Balls of Kuai Long and Motor Lizard again, and said to them expectantly: "We've finished shopping, it's time for us to go home!"

 The two Pokémon naturally had no objection and returned to the Poké Ball obediently.

"What about you? Is there anything you want?" Naoki looked at Gulton, who had been following him, and asked with a smile: "Everyone has chosen, and now you are the only one left."

 “Ah gah!” Luton shook his head with a smile. He didn't want anything.

Seeing this scene, Naoki raised his eyebrows in surprise: "Really not?"

Huluton shook his head honestly: "Ah, geez."

　　Naoki couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

 So Leden walked out with his head on his back.

Zhishu now understood what Guluton meant.

 It wants to go home.

"If you miss this time, you may not have another chance in the future!" Zhi Shu said again before leaving.

 That's why Leton said in his heart that he didn't believe it!

 “Okay! Then I'll study the energy cube for you when I get back.”

In desperation, Naoki had no choice but to pay the bill and stuff the items into his travel backpack. In the end, he could barely fit them in until the travel backpack almost collapsed.

 After finishing all this, it was noon.

There was a growling sound in Gu Ledun's stomach, and Zhi Shu was also a little hungry. After thinking about it, he decided to fill his stomach in Niangguang City before going back.

One person and one Pokémon were walking on the streets of Niangguang City. The Gulton beside him was very eye-catching, attracting passers-by to cast their gazes in this direction.

Zhi Shu is now used to this kind of thing. He ignores those looks and is going to find a Chinese restaurant to taste the Padian-style hometown cuisine.

However, when he passed by a dessert shop, he suddenly heard a familiar voice from the shop that was a bit surprising.

 “Huh? Mr. Naoki?”

 Zhi Shu turned around and saw Qishu standing not far away with a little magnet on his head with a surprised look on his face.

"Is it really you? I thought I made a mistake just now!" Qishu's eyes lit up: "Mr. Naoki, why did you suddenly come to Nianguang City?"

 Zhi Shu: "I just came back from the Hezhong area. As you know, there is only a direct ferry from Niangguang City to the Hezhong area."

Qishu understood instantly. She looked at Gu Ledun and asked quickly: "Have you had lunch? If not, I'll treat you! Just think of it as thanking you for the hospitality last time!"

Zhi Shu thought that there were too many Pokémon on his side and it might be inconvenient, so he thought that he had eaten.

However, before he could open his mouth, he heard a growling sound coming from the stomach of Gulton who was standing next to him.

 Naoki: “…”

Qishu suddenly laughed, showing his white teeth: "It seems that he hasn't eaten yet! It just so happens that I haven't eaten either. I know a Chinese restaurant that tastes great!"

 Naoki: “…”

 Qishu is so enthusiastic!

The hospitality was hard to resist, so he had no choice but to agree, and Qishu led him to a Chinese restaurant in the center of the city.

 Qishu was writing and drawing on the menu energetically: "Mr. Naoki, do you want Mapo tofu?"

"Can."

 “Where's the shredded pork with green pepper?”

"also."

 “Where are the baked eggs?”

 “…I'm not picky about food.”

Qishu: "Hey, that's good, that's good. In that case, I need these dishes. Waiter, please bring five bowls of rice and snacks for the Pokémon!"

 “Okay!” The waiter on the side took the menu, and saw the lady ordering all the dishes on their menu.

 The waiter looked shocked: "Woman, madam... Is this too much? Can you two finish it?"

Hearing this, Naoki looked confused.

 The waiter looked at his expression and handed over the menu.

Zhi Shu didn't look at it, but it was okay. When he looked at it, he realized that Qi Shu had marked all the dishes.

"We shouldn't be able to finish eating, right?" Naoki said speechlessly.

Qishu smiled sheepishly: "Because I don't know what you like to eat, Mr. Naoki, so I ordered all the dishes, and it's not just the two of us! There are also Pokémon! "

Zhi Shu thought about it and felt that he could almost finish it. Therefore, Luton and Zhan Yifa are two big eaters: "Okay, let's do this first."

The waiter took the menu tremblingly and left.

And Qishu talked about the pasture trial.

She asked expectantly: "By the way, Mr. Naoki, after my challenge, will any other gym leaders visit your ranch?"

"There shouldn't be one, right? There wasn't one before I left the ranch." Naoki shook his head: "But I'm not sure, because I haven't gone back for a week."

Qishu felt a little regretful for some reason: "I still want to see the expressions on their faces!"

Zhi Shu was speechless: "It's actually not that exaggerated, is it? It just sounds a bit bluffing. If you are familiar with the content of the trial and use attribute restraint, it is not impossible to pass."

Like the Dan Emperor before him, the mount goat is completely restrained by his fire-breathing dragon.

As expected, the fire-breathing dragon penetrated the grass trial.

Dadi's Charizard can do it, and Adek's Fire God Moth can definitely do it too.

  After all, the Vulcan Moth with insect + fire attributes also restrained the mount goat to death.

It's just that Adek was still in a frightened state at the time and couldn't bear to let Vulcan Moth fight other Pokémon as soon as he recovered.

Qishu had a hopeless expression on his face: "But most gym leaders are only proficient in one type of Pokémon! If Haidai, the gym leader of the Bottle Gym, challenges the Green Grass Trial, I'm afraid he will end up like Worse than me."

You can't just breed Pokémon with other attributes just to participate in the trial, right?

Hearing this, Naoki thought to himself, and then a capitalist smile appeared on his face:

“I will slowly improve this point later and add more trials with different attributes. Then challengers can choose the trials to participate according to their own circumstances.”

She had no choice but to change the subject, turned her attention to Naoki's hairstyle, and asked with a smile: "Mr. Naoki, have you cut your hair? Your beard is gone too."

As soon as he heard this, Zhishu immediately became energetic, sat up straight, and asked triumphantly: "You don't look so old now, do you?"

 He still doesn't mind others calling him uncle.

 Children of a few years old can do it, but people of the same age like Qishu cannot.

 After all, he is only four years older than Qishu.

Qishu gave a thumbs up: "Great!"

Huluton also echoed: "Ah, gah!"

"Hmph!" Naoki thought Qishu was a pretty good person, so he said, "Just call me Naoki from now on. Don't call me sir. It sounds weird."

Whether it was in his previous life or this life, others would address him directly by his first name, without any titles such as uncle or brother following him.

Hearing that proud hum, Qishu suddenly felt that Naoki's character was quite cute.

 She had a happy smile on her face and said energetically: "Okay, I get it!"
