Not a Trainer This Time Chapter 81

Chapter 81 Typhoon passing through

 In the evening, Naoki was awakened by a whining wind.

 He opened his eyes and found that it was already five-fifty.

 The weather forecast for the next few days was playing on TV.

 Wearing an OL uniform and black-rimmed glasses, the weather announcer is making a forecast dutifully:

"Typhoon [Wu Ping] will enter the territory of Padia at 3 o'clock in the morning tonight. Due to the impact of [Wu Ping], the coastal area is expected to experience large-scale rainfall in the next three days, occasionally accompanied by strong winds. We hope that citizens will pay attention to it." Good doors and windows, be prepared in advance.”

 Typhoon?

Zhi Shu was startled and looked at the area affected by the typhoon on the screen. Ziqin Town happened to be located among them, which meant that his ranch would also be affected.

Orange light filled the entire room, and looking out through the window, all one could see was a gray and dark sky.

Perhaps they were tired from playing, so the Pokémon playing outside all returned indoors.

The Cream Fairy hid in the cupboard, Minifu returned to the flower pot, Bupo lay on the carpet at the door and yawned, and even Kuailong returned to the Poké Ball.

  Rainy days do make people sleepy.

Looking out the window for a while, Zhi Shu yawned, then turned around and looked at Gu Ledun lying beside him.

Huluton is the bigger one. Even though he is galloping on all fours, his body is taller than the rocking chair under Naoki.

 Guluton is sleeping soundly, with his eyes closed, his eyelids occasionally trembling slightly, his abdomen rising and falling with his breathing, and his big head resting on the side.

 Not to mention, at first glance I thought Gulton looked quite strange, but after getting along with him for a long time, I found Gulton to be quite cute.

Zhi Shu made no sound, the wind whimpered outside, and the lights in the room were bright. The two completely different environments formed a strong contrast.

Being indoors, Naoki felt very at ease. He looked at Gulton quietly, observed its sleeping posture, and then reached out and gently touched Gulton's cheek.

Guluton woke up instantly, his golden pupils suddenly opened, his pupils stood up, and his face showed vigilance.

 But after seeing the Naoki next to it, it quickly returned to its original state, yawned, and looked sleepy.

 “Ah gah hiss…”

Zhi Shu got up and left the rocking chair, carried Bu Bo who was sleeping on the carpet to the bed, then opened the door, felt the wind blowing in his face, and couldn't help but take a deep breath.

 “It's going to rain!”

　　So Leden also stood up, shook his head, and regained his energy.

Because he was worried that there would be strong winds at night and destroy the facilities in the ranch, after waking up, Naoki did not make dinner immediately. Instead, he put on his shoes, took the Poke Ball, and went to the chicken hut.

 Over time, the chicks that hatch from the eggs learn how much to eat.

 Therefore, there is no need to use an artificial feeding system, and the hens should be allowed to eat freely.

 Zhi Shu took out the feed from the silo, filled the troughs and water troughs with chicken feed and drinking water, and carefully closed the doors and windows of the chicken hut.

 After making sure that nothing was missing, we left here and arrived at the salt house where the salt treasures lived.

 Five salt stone gems are stacked together and looking out the window with worried expressions.

Ordinary Pokémon are naturally afraid of this oppressive weather.

 The power of nature is terrifying.

Looking at the five salt gems, Naoki invited: "Let's go back to the Poké Ball to sleep tonight! There will be strong winds in the early morning, and we will come back after the weather clears up."

 “Salt salt!”

Yan Shibao had no objection. They were also a little afraid of the gloomy, windy and rainy weather, so they quickly nodded in agreement.

 Next, Naoki went to the sheepfold where the lamb was riding.

Three mounted lambs were lying there leisurely grazing, seemingly unaffected by the weather.

Seeing their appearance, Naoki imagined the three of them facing the storm, holding leaf blades in their mouths, and defeating the typhoon with one sword. He even began to doubt whether the typhoon could beat the lamb. The sheep pen is surrounded by a fence, and the rain shelter in the middle is leaking from all sides, so it may not be able to withstand the typhoon.

 After thinking for a moment, Naoki decided to take back the pokeballs.

"You three don't want your wool to get soaked by the rain, do you?" Naoki asked. When the horse lamb nodded, he continued: "Then come here and spend the night!"

　　After taking the three mounted lambs back into their elf balls, Zhi Shu went to the hive of the three bees.

The three bees will not go out to collect honey on rainy days. Naoki wanted the three bees to come into the house together, but they refused.

Zhi Shu thought about it carefully and thought maybe staying in a familiar hive can bring them more security, right?

Thinking of this, Zhi Shu knelt down and checked the safety of the hive.

The four legs of the hive are firmly fixed in the soil, so there is no need to worry about being blown away by the typhoon.

 At this time, it started to rain.

Upon seeing this, Zhi Shu left enough honey for the three bees to use as food, and then quickly ran back to the eaves.

The Bad Butterfly has arrived here early and is standing on its nest, looking down at the straight tree below that is soaked by the rain.

 “Eh?”

Zhi Shu grinned: "It's okay, don't worry, you can go in and sleep at night!"

 Badahu happily agreed.

 The work of preparing for the typhoon has been completed. Naoki exhaled and was about to start cooking dinner.

But before he could enter the room, he heard Bada Huo making a confused cry: "咒咿?"

Zhi Shu turned around and saw Mayor Thomas in a raincoat hurried over.

Zhi Shu was a little surprised and quickly welcomed the person into the house: "Mayor Thomas, why are you here?"

Thomas didn't go in. He had mud on his feet and would make the floor dirty if he went in.

He stood under the eaves and looked around the entire ranch, panting and saying: "I won't go in. I'm here to tell you that the typhoon is coming. You have to prepare in advance! Put all Pokémon and animals away Bring it into the room, lock the doors and windows, and put away the feed!”

He had just seen the weather forecast at home and thought that Zhi Shu, who had returned from other places, might not have experience in facing typhoons, so he hurried over and informed him of the incident.

Hearing what Mayor Thomas said, Naoki felt a little moved. He smiled and nodded: "Don't worry, I'm ready!"

"That's fine." Mayor Thomas nodded: "I don't have anything else to do. Since you've done everything, I won't say anything anymore. I have to go back!"

As he spoke, he released a motorcycle lizard from the elf ball, rode on it, and hurried back and forth.

Zhi Shu stood under the eaves and watched the old man go away, and then shook his head slightly with emotion.

 They are all good people!

 Whether it's a Pokémon or a human.

Mayor Thomas who takes great care of him, Zach who is bold and generous, the enthusiastic and patient rancher, and the hard-working Kelly...

 Speaking of Zach, he should have come to collect the goods today.

Today, the mount lamb is in the milk CD, Yan Shibao has not saved enough rock salt, and the only thing that can be sold is the pile of mushrooms growing in the cave behind.

 When he was busy in the morning, he picked the mushrooms in advance and put them in the shipping box.

Thinking of this, Naoki checked the shipping box, and sure enough, he found the money left by Zach inside.

 He put the money away, then walked into the house and started preparing dinner for everyone.

 The rain outside the window is getting heavier and heavier, gradually forming a curtain of rain. Unlike the dark and gloomy outside, there is a warm and peaceful scene inside the wooden house.
