Not a Trainer This Time Chapter 54

Chapter 54 Harvest Day

“Yes, I met it when it was still a green caterpillar.” Naoki introduced: “Later it turned into an armored pupa, and it has been here waiting for the next evolution.”

"Evolution..." Yosuke thought of the relevant information he had seen before and said: "If I remember correctly, the armored pupa is the fastest evolving Pokémon. When did it evolve from a green caterpillar to an armored pupa? What about?"

 Zhi Shu thought about it for a moment and said, "About half a month ago."

"Oh." Yosuke said, "That's fast. It should take less than a few days to evolve into a bad butterfly! Well, bad butterflies can spread pollen and collect nectar for food, which will also be of great help to your ranch work. Woolen cloth!"

 Grows quickly, is suitable for novices, and is easy to train. These are the advantages of insect-type Pokémon.

 But correspondingly, they also have some shortcomings.

 For example, their lifespan is not as long as their trainers.

　　Many trainers will regard insect-type Pokémon as their starter Pokémon, and will be sad for a long time after their death.

 However, birth, old age, illness, and death are normal human beings, and both humans and Pokémon have to go through this process.

Thinking of this, Yosuke smacked his tongue slightly.

Zhi Shu stepped forward to check the condition of the armored pupa, and reached out to touch its hard green carapace.

Compared with half a month ago, its carapace has become harder and its color has changed from light green to dark green.

All this is a symbol of the imminent evolution of the armored chrysalis.

 Bada Butterfly...

 Grow up quickly! Naoki thought.

 When the Iron Armor Chrysalis evolves, the pasture will become more lively.

The iron armor pupa is in a critical period of evolution. The hard carapace makes it unable to move or eat. It relies on the nutrients accumulated in the body during the green caterpillar period to renew the cells in the body.

In this process, no one can provide them with external help. Only by breaking out of their shells can they grow into soaring butterflies in the sky.

The two of them entered the house. Naoki poured Yosuke a cup of tea and then got up to do farm work.

Seeing him start working, Gulton, who was staying not far away, immediately ran over to help. Motorized Lizard and Kuailong also joined the team soon after.

At this time, Yosuke also followed out. He looked at the large piece of land in front of him, with some eagerness on his face: "I'm here to help too!"

 “This job is very hard!” Naoki raised his eyebrows slightly and reminded.

Yosuke has never done farm work. His hometown is located in the northern part of the Galar region, a modern metropolis called Gongmen City.

 But this does not stop him from wanting to experience farm life.

 Seeing this, Zhi Shu did not dissuade him.

Yosuke also took out four Poké Balls from his pocket.

 With a flash of white light, a green ranger, a flame ace, a caretaker and a strong blocking bear appeared in the pasture.

 “Everyone, let's help Zhishu harvest the crops!”

 The order was issued, and the four Pokémon also joined the harvest.

Soon, turnips, muddy potatoes, garlic, fat white radishes, sparkling fresh cucumbers, and plump and juicy tomatoes were piled up next to the farmland. One hill after another.

By the time all the mature crops were harvested, everyone and Pokémon were covered in soil.

With the last cucumber picked, Yosuke sat down on the grass: "Huh, the work on the ranch is really hard!"

  In comparison, Naoki's endurance was much better. Perhaps it was because of his long-term work that he did not collapse immediately.

 He thanked Yosuke and his four Pokémon, and said with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work. You guys take a rest first, and I'll prepare lunch!"

"Great!"

Yosuke let out a cheer as he led the Pokémon.

 Naoki returned to the kitchen to prepare lunch.

 There are a lot of people today, and everyone has consumed a lot of physical strength and energy, so the lunch dishes are mainly to restore energy and physical strength.    Like fried pork chops and rice.

 In addition to a few, Naoki also made three new dishes using crops harvested from the fields.

  One is cucumbers, and the other is scrambled eggs with tomatoes. In addition to these, Zhi Shu also sliced ​​pork tenderloin and added chili, pepper, ginger, green onions and other ingredients to make a spicy and fragrant boiled pork slices.

 The finished boiled pork slices are tender and fresh, the soup is red and oily, and the spicy flavor is coming to your face. The meat slices covered with red oil look very tempting.

Zhi Shu couldn't help but swallow, and at the same time lowered his head and scanned it, the information of these three dishes emerged.

  [Packing cucumbers (D): A simple and easy-to-make basic dish. It is an excellent choice to relieve the heat in summer. The cooking effect is heat-resistant lv1. ]

[Scrambled Eggs with Tomatoes (C): A home-cooked dish, sour and sweet. The freshness of the eggs perfectly blends with the unique taste of tomatoes. The cooking effect increases appetite. ]

Boiled pork slices (B): Delicious boiled pork slices, spicy and fragrant. One bite will make people breathe out fire, and the cooking effect is astonishing. ]

Huh?

 Zhi Shu's eyes turned to the boiled meat slices.

 The next second, the specific content of the cooking effect emerged.

[Fire Explosion: Limited to fire-type Pokémon. In a short period of time, it will moderately increase the fire-type energy in the body and slightly improve the comprehension of fire-type moves. ]

This is…

Zhi Shu was slightly dazed.

At this moment, Yosuke, who smelled the fragrance, ran in quickly regardless of his fatigue.

 “What does it smell like? It smells so good!”

 When he saw the piece of boiled meat clearly, a large amount of saliva immediately secreted from his mouth.

 “What kind of food is this?”

 Zhi Shu: "Uh...it's called boiled pork slices."

 “Boiled pork slices?” Yosuke had never heard of or seen this kind of dish, and he couldn't help but feel a little curious.

Zhi Shu didn't explain much. There were too many people and there was no room to sit in the room. He simply directed Gu Ledun to move the table outside and then serve the cooked dishes.

 All the Pokémon around were immediately attracted by the overbearing fragrance.

 Naoki could clearly see that the throat of Yosuke's Flaming Ace moved, and he must have been swallowing furiously.

"I'm gonna start now!"

Yosuke picked up the tableware and started eating like crazy.

Zhiki secretly observed the only fire Pokémon present, Flare Ace.

I saw it pick up the tableware - it must be a foreign guide, pick up a piece of boiled meat wrapped in red oil and put it into its mouth.

 After chewing a few times, its face instantly turned red.

The fire attribute energy all over his body was rising continuously. The Ace of Flames opened his eyes wide and his cheeks bulged, as if he was enduring something.

A few seconds passed, and it seemed that it had reached the limit of its endurance, and then it suddenly raised its head. The next second, a hot red beam of fire shot out from its mouth towards the sky.

Yosuke: "?!"

 A moment later, Ace of Flames lay down on the grass exhausted, breathing heavily.

 “What's wrong with you? Flash Ace?!” Yosuke asked quickly.

Flame Ace stuck out his tongue and shook his head slightly.

 Spicy...too spicy!

Zhi Shu coughed lightly and said at the right time: "Maybe the fire energy in its body was stimulated by the spicy taste, so it couldn't help but burst out."

 After a pause, Naoki asked: "Do you feel any discomfort in your body?"

Flame Ace gradually calmed down. It shook its head. It did not feel uncomfortable. Instead, it felt relaxed and comfortable all over.

 Naoki: “…”

It seems that this Flaming Ace is unlucky and has not learned any new moves.
