Not a Trainer This Time Chapter 443

Chapter 443: Guiding the Worms in the Strange Apple Tree

 April 1, 200 in the Alliance Calendar, as the temperature rose, the Padia region officially ushered in a hot summer.

　　The temperature outside was a bit hot during the day. Before the temperature rose in the morning, Zhi Shu milked the goat and fed the other Pokémon in the pasture.

 After everything was completed, Naoki was ready to go to the wine cellar to check the progress of the fruit wine.

 But before he entered the house, he received a phone call.

Zhi Shu took out Rotom's cell phone and looked at it, and found that it was actually a call from Qi Shu.

He raised his eyebrows, stopped, and pressed connect.

"Hello?"

“Hello, Naoki, what are you doing now?” Qishu's energetic voice came from the other end of the phone.

“I just finished working in the pasture and am going to take a rest.” Naoki replied, letting go of Rotom's cell phone and preparing to wash his hands at the faucet in front of the house.

Rotom's phone automatically switched to airplane mode and floated next to Naoki's ear.

 Naoki: “…”

The little sister turned around and left. After a while, she brought a few snacks she made to entertain the guests.

 “Then excuse me!” Qishu followed with a smile.

Hearing Qishu's words, he nodded and said with a smile: "But having said that, it seems that it's not vacation time yet at Niangguang Gym, right? Is there no problem for you to come here?"

 Guluton, who wanted to scream, immediately closed his mouth.

 “Are you on your way to the pasture?”

Hurton and Motorized Lizard were standing not far away, looking at this side with Qishu.

Seeing Gulton's expression, the Motorized Lizard looked at it, then at the strange tree, and asked with some confusion: "Gaw?" (Do you know that human?)

It always felt that Guluton seemed to be very familiar with that human being.

After washing his hands, Naoki stood up. Thinking of Qi Shu's character, he suddenly felt blessed and asked:

 “Are you here to challenge the trial today?” Naoki asked.

 In the future, the little master will ride on their backs and play with them!

The Motorized Lizard didn't understand, and was very confused by Guluton's words.

 Qishu nodded repeatedly: "Yeah! I changed my live broadcast style, and the popularity of Niangguang Gym is getting higher and higher!"

 “That's it…” Naoki suddenly became interested, but he always felt a little strange in his heart.

His sister was very happy to hear the guests praising the delicious tea she brewed.

 Actually, she didn't know what excuse to come to the ranch.

This behavior is indeed in line with Qishu's temperament.

It hugged the tray with a smile on its face: "Love it!"

Zhi Shu turned around and saw Qi Shu standing on the grass not far away and waving vigorously in this direction.

If it's Qishu... he should be broadcasting the gym battle live in Nianguang City right now, right?

The person on the other end of the phone chuckled and asked stupidly: "Guess!"

Zhishu actually follows Qishu's personal homepage on Piqiu TV. He is quite familiar with Qishu's current situation.

 “I love you~” My sister loves to control the waiter but says it doesn't matter.

However, it also has a good impression of the human being, because the other person saw it being lost before and specially encouraged it.

 When she is in the game, she pays more attention to the effect of the program than winning the gym challenge.

Naoki looked at this scene with a smile on his face, and waited until his sister turned around and left, then he asked:

　　"Is the live broadcast going well recently?"

 In the living room, my sister's carefree waiter brought Qishu a cup of black tea to quench his thirst.

The two of them walked into the room. In the pasture not far away, Luton and Motor Lizard were squatting on the grass, looking at the backs over there.

 “That's not right!”

Qishu nodded repeatedly: "That's right! After the last challenge, I have found a way to deal with Babu's hammer!"

Seeing this scene, Naoki smiled helplessly.

 Because as far as he knew, Qishu was not the type to work hard to improve his strength.

 “Ah! Thank you for your hard work!” Qishu quickly thanked his sister Ai Guanshi.

"What about you? You don't have work today?" Naoki asked. At this time, the gym leaders had not taken vacation yet. Normally, they would stay in the gym to meet the trainer's challenge.

“Hehe, you got the right answer!” Qishu smiled and said, “Look back!”

"Huh?" Naoki was a little surprised: "Are you broadcasting live outside now?"

"Thank you! Thank you for your hard work!" Qishu thanked his sister, and then took a bite. His eyes immediately brightened: "Well, it's so delicious!"

Although it has not reached the level of the game, it is already very popular.

 Forget it, it's useless to think so much. Qishu probably suddenly wanted to work hard, right?

 In this case, he should be a good help.

At the entrance of the ranch, Qishu Chong found his old friend Luton and Motorized Lizard not far away making a silent gesture.

He hung up the phone. The weather outside was getting hotter. Zhi Shu thought about it and invited Qi Shu to sit in the living room.

Hearing the words of the Motorized Lizard, Leden nodded: "Ah, geez." (You will also recognize it.)

 It said in its heart that the little master would be hatched from the egg of the strange tree.

As far as Naoki knows, the Padia Alliance also has performance requirements for gym leaders, and will even send people to inspect gyms to test their strength.

Qishu nodded and said: "Don't worry! Before coming here, I had already asked for three days' leave from the Padian Alliance, and the chief personally approved it!"

 “That's it!” It seems that the Padian League and Yeci are also very humane.

 After Qishu finished her snacks and drank the black tea that her sister loved to serve, she planned to challenge Babu Tubo's thunder and lightning trial again.

 Zhi Shu found Babu Tubo, and the two came to the battleground in the pasture.

Looking at the strange tree full of fighting spirit opposite, Naoki couldn't help but marvel.

 “I didn't expect that!”

Qishu was slightly startled: "What didn't you expect?"

　　Naoki: "I didn't expect you to be so diligent and hardworking. It's a little different from what I imagined."

Gurusha and Aoki basically only visited once, while Qishu often visited the ranch to challenge the trials.

Is it possible that the nature of the strange trees in the world he traveled through is different from that in the game?

Since Qishu wanted to make progress so much, he had to seriously help him. After all, Qishu could be considered his friend.

However, when Qishu heard these words, her face turned red. She didn't come here to challenge the trial!

“Although I'm not very good at raising and training electric Pokémon, I think you who specialize in electric Pokémon may be able to get some inspiration from Baboo.”

"So, in the next battle, we will not use our full strength, but more of a demonstration, so remember to let your Pokémon watch carefully!"

"Eh?" Qishu didn't react for a while. It took a while before she understood what Zhishu meant. She nodded quickly and said, "Okay!"

 In the first battle, Naoki sent out Babu Tubo, while Qishu sent out his own electric monster.

 The battle began. Babutu picked up the hammer and rushed towards the electric monster.

A powerful electric current erupted from the hammer. The Electric Shock Monster noticed the powerful electric power and quickly crossed its arms across its body to try to resist it.

Babu Tubo's hammer slammed down, and a yellow electric current burst out from the electric shock beast. All of Babu Tubo's electricity was absorbed into its body.

 Electrical engine features!

Naoki recognized that characteristic at a glance. Pokémon with this characteristic would not be harmed when attacked by electric-type moves, but would instead increase their speed.

But Baboo is not an ordinary electric Pokémon. In addition to electric energy, its hammer also carries physical damage.

The electric shock monster's arms sank. At this time, Qishu's voice came from behind it.

 “To electrocute the monster, use Splitting Tile!”

The strong Electric Shock Monster instantly raised his palm and struck at Babu Tubo in front of him.

Babu Tubo ducked sideways. Seeing that the attack failed, Qishu immediately gave the order to pursue the electric monster.

 “One hundred thousand volts!”

Dazzling electric light burst out from the electric shock beast, turning into an electric beam and hitting Babu Tubo in mid-air.

The Babu woodchuck floated there motionless.

Zhi Shu said calmly: "Charge."

 “Bamo!”

The next second, one hundred thousand volts submerged Babu Tubo, but unexpectedly, the terrible electrical energy did not cause much damage to Babu Tubo, but was absorbed by it by charging it. into his own body!

 “How could this happen?!” Qishu was quite surprised.

Zoki explained with a smile: "For electric Pokémon, electricity is also their food. When charging, the Pokémon will automatically accumulate electricity in its body."

"But if you can eat the opponent's electric-type moves at this time, you will suffer some damage, but the charging effect will be greatly improved."

"Treat the opponent's attacks as food?" Qishu was slightly stunned. She had never thought that this could be possible!

 “Do you want to give it a try?” Naoki asked.

Qishu hummed: "Electricize the monster, get ready!"

The Electric Shock Monster, which had heard the conversation between the two, nodded and began to make preparations at the same time.

 “Babu Tudou, use discharge.” Zhi Shu commanded.

 “Bamo!”

With the sound of Bamo, a strong electric current surged wildly from Babu Tubo's small body, and finally enveloped the entire battlefield.

At the moment when the electric discharge was about to drown the electric monster, Qishu's voice also sounded at the same time: "Electric monster, use charge!"

"Roar!"

The electric shock monster let out a loud roar, and its huge body stood motionless, and actually entered the state of charging.

Treat electric current as food... Naoki's words came to the mind of the Electric Shock Monster, and it immediately began to gulp down the electric current.

 I eat, I eat, I eat eat eat!

The electricity in his body continued to rise. Almost in the blink of an eye, the electric monster felt that the electrical energy accumulated in his body had reached a new level.

In this state, if it uses other electric-type moves, its power will definitely be greatly improved!

 Zhi Shu nodded towards Qishu and the Electric Shock Monster: "Come on!"

Qishu was completely immersed in this battle at this moment.

 She hummed hard, and then loudly ordered: "Electricize the monster, use lightning attack!"

“Babu Woodchuck, let's come too, use the electric double-click!”

 The command was given, and the two Pokémon on the field started to move at the same time.

The strong body of the Electric Shock Monster was completely covered by a current of electricity. It looked like it was wearing a suit of lightning armor and rushed forward.

But Babu Tubo injected all his electricity into the small silver hammer, and rushed out against the electric monster without fear.

 The two Pokémon were extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, they collided.

A dazzling electric light burst out instantly, and finally turned into a yellow round ball of light, shrouding the two Pokémon in it.

  Immediately afterwards, a violent explosion occurred on the battlefield.

The strong shock wave shook the Babu Earth Pork and the Electric Monster back, but no one lost their ability to fight.

 “What a powerful blow!”

Looking at the scars on the Electric Shock Beast, Qishu couldn't help but widen his eyes.

Naoki said with a smile: "It seems that you have learned the electric monster. Next, let's consolidate it. There is no need to continue. This battle ends here!"

 “I know!” Qishu nodded.

 Brother likes to serve the two Pokémon with life-goat milk to restore their physical strength.

 Because of the battle and the weather, both Pokémon shed a lot of sweat.

Seeing this, Naoki invited them to rest in the living room.

 “How do you feel?” Naoki asked with a smile.

Qishu nodded and praised: "As expected of Naoki!"

"After you go back, you can use this method to train the electric frogs at home. I believe that if you master all the Pokémon, the strength of the Niangguang Gym will be even stronger." Naoki said.

 “Yes, I understand!” Qishu listened very seriously.

Looking at the many powerful Pokémon around Naoki, Qi Shu was suddenly very curious about his past.

 I heard from the chief that he came to the Padia area three years ago. Before that, he had been traveling around in other areas.

Thinking of this, Qishu asked: "By the way, Zhishu, where did you travel before you came to the Padia area?"

Zhishu was slightly startled, not expecting Qishu to ask this question.

He thought carefully before answering: "A lot of places! I've been to places like Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, Sinnoh, and Kalos."

“Wow!” Qishu exclaimed, “I have never left the Padia region.”

Zhi Shu smiled slightly: "When you have time in the future, you can go to other places to see. The customs and the Pokémon that live in each area are different."

Qishu nodded and asked, "Then don't you live with your parents?"

"Parents?" Naoki shook his head: "They have all passed away. I have been living in the Padia region when I was a child. Later, I went to the Fengyuan region with my parents to recuperate. After they passed away, I went to other places. travel."

“Later, when I was tired from traveling, I took my luggage and returned to my hometown, Zhiqin Town, and inherited the ranch left by my grandfather.”

Hearing these words, Qishu opened his mouth and apologized: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to mention these things."

Zhishu grinned and signaled to Qishu not to be nervous: "It doesn't matter, it's all over."

He looked at the strange tree, and the strange tree looked at him.

　　A light flashed in Qishu's eyes, and she nodded seriously: "Well, Naoki is a very strong person!"

 Zhi Shu did not continue the topic. He asked instead: "What about you?"

"Me?" Qishu pointed at herself, and when Naoshu nodded, she said: "I grew up in Niangguang City since I was a child. Like other ordinary children, I left home after reaching the age of ten and went to Attended Padya College.”

“Then, I met Electric Belly Frog and Dream Demon. We challenged the gym together, collected badges, and finally joined the Padian Alliance and became the gym leader of Niangguang City.”

“Life in a big city must be very lively, right?” Naoki asked.

 Qishu was dumbfounded and didn't know how to answer: "I have never lived in the countryside."

“That's a pity, isn't it?” Naoki said with a smile: “Although the countryside is not as lively as the big cities, life here is also great.”

“In spring, you can see flowers all over the mountains and plains, and many wild flowers and leaves are flying among the flowers.”

“On summer nights, you can see many fireflies gathering on the water by the river, just like stars. Some water-type Pokémon will also poke their heads out of the water to look at the fireflies.”

"In autumn, the trees all over the mountains and plains will start to turn yellow. If you go to the mountains, you can pick all kinds of wild products, such as mushrooms, hazelnuts, berries, and occasionally you can see wild Pokémon living in the mountains and forests. Dreaming about storing food for winter.”

“Winter...The weather is too cold in winter, so I don't go out much, but occasionally I take my Pokémon with me to build snowmen in the pasture and watch the stars.”

“There were no clouds in the night sky at that time, and every star and moon could be clearly seen.”

Hearing these words, Qishu's face showed longing.

 “Sounds great!”

“Really?” Naoki also began to look forward to this summer.

 At this moment, he suddenly thought of something.

“By the way, it's summer now, and there should be fireflies tonight. Do you want to see them?”

Qishu was slightly startled: "Eh? Is that okay?"

Zhi Shu nodded: "Of course, there is a room upstairs. You can stay here for one night and return to Niangguang City tomorrow."

That is a guest room specially used to entertain guests.

Adek, Dr. Damu and others all lived upstairs.

 “Hehe!” Qishu smiled sheepishly: “Then I'm sorry for bothering you!”

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 institutions

The sister who was standing by was happy to say that she would go and clean up the guest's room.

In the evening, as dusk was approaching, there was a sound of cicadas chirping in the back mountain, which seemed far away.

 The fireflies living in the grass gradually became active.

 When it gets completely dark, fireflies gather at the lakeside to light up the night.

Zhishu spread a picnic cloth on the grass by the river and filled it with various snacks and food.

 Milk pudding, honey cake, poffin, energy cubes, tree juice, moo milk…

 All the Pokémon in the pasture gathered here, happily chasing and playing around the picnic cloth.

On the other side of the river, the group of ducks sat obediently on the river bank, holding their heads with their hands and staring blankly at the fireflies flying on the river.

  Qishu also released all his Pokémon.

 Electric Belly Frog, Big Electric Petrel, Dream Demon, Naughty Thunder Bomb, Roentgen Cat, Electric Shock Monster.

 The two Pokémon had eaten together before and were relatively familiar with each other. Therefore, as soon as they met, Baboo flew forward, released a ray of electricity, and greeted the Roentgen cats using the special communication method of electric Pokémon.

Zhuyifa is still curious about the Dream Demon. It floats in mid-air and stares at the Dream Demon without blinking.

 The dream demon was so frightened by its stare that he turned around and hid aside.

 Looking at this dreamy scene, Qishu suddenly felt an unprecedented feeling in his heart.

 Before this, she had visited many scenic spots.

 The million-volt night view of Niangguang City, the Cauldron Waterfall at Cauldron Lake, the olive farm in the southwest of Padea...

As for the Frost-Mossed Hand on the other side of Frost-Mossed Mountain, Qishu has never been there because she is also afraid of the cold.

 But none of those places could give her this feeling.

On the banks of the slowly flowing river, groups of fireflies emitting light fluorescence are flying slowly. Their silhouettes are reflected on the clear water, rippling gently with the water waves.

 The quiet night, the chirping of cicadas full of summer flavor, the gentle evening breeze...

 All of this cannot be experienced in big cities.

 “It's so beautiful!” Qishu murmured, and then a smile appeared on her face: “Thank you, Naoki!”

Zhi Shu put his hands on the grass, looked up at the firefly river in front of him, and said softly:

 “I should also say thank you.”

 “Eh?” Qishu was stunned for a moment.

Zhishu smiled and said: "You have helped advertise my ranch shop in the live broadcast room before, right?"

Qishu was completely confused: "How did you know?"

 She obviously did it very carefully!

“Because all your fans went to my store's message board and said it.” Naoki opened Rotom's phone and found the original messages.

  【Recommended by Qishu Live Room! The milk here is delicious, sweet and fresh, and the delivery speed of Kuailong is also very fast. Highly recommended! 】

It's really good. Thanks to Qishu, I found this treasure shop. The vegetables are very fresh. With it, my grandma will no longer have to go out to buy vegetables. I will come back next time! 】

　　And so on.

Qishu's face turned red when he saw it. This was too embarrassing.

 “Thank you.” Naoki said softly.

 Qishu is indeed an enthusiastic person! If he remembered correctly, in the anime, Qishu, a live broadcaster, often encouraged his fans and cheered them up.

 Qishu touched his head in embarrassment.

 At this moment, Naoki suddenly remembered something.

“By the way, did you come here by Angry Parrot flying taxi?” he asked.

Qishu nodded: "That's right! There are flying taxi stations just now in Nianguang City and Zhiqin Town. If you take a ride, you can go directly to this place, which is very convenient!"

“How long will the flight take?” Naoki asked.

“It's not much, about six hours.” Qishu calculated carefully.

 After all, Ziqin Town and Niangguang City are too far apart. One is at the far west of Padea and the other is at the far east. Six hours is already very fast.

 Zhi Shu asked in disbelief: "You want to take a flying taxi for six hours?"

Qishu was puzzled: "Ah? What's wrong?"

 Naoki: “…”

It's too slow, no, it's too troublesome to go back and forth, right?

“Let Kuailong take you back tomorrow.” Zhi Shu suddenly felt a headache.

At the speed of the dragon, you can reach Niangguang City in half an hour, which is several times faster than the angry parrot.

This time it was Qi Shu's turn to be confused.

She was a little embarrassed, "Isn't this a little too troublesome?"

"It's okay. It just so happens that Kuailong is going to deliver goods to Niangguang City. You can just take it then." Zhi Shu said.

"Okay." Qishu smiled and said, "Thank you very much!"

Not far away, Luton and Motor Lizard were squatting on the grass.

The Motorized Lizard looked at Gulton in confusion and asked: "Gaw?" (Why can't we disturb Naoki?)

 Huluton said with a serious face: "Ah, ghastly." (Because Naoki has something very important to do.)

 “Quaao?”

 Very important thing?

Motor Lizard immediately got into high spirits.

 Guluton looked at the two people by the river and the Pokémon surrounding them, and pictures from the past could not help but appear in his mind.

　　Its little master, Naoki's child, pulled it pitifully and asked when it would come back.

It was still a motorcycle lizard at the time and said that he would be back soon.

However, it failed to go back, and the little master never waited for it again.

Thinking of this, Luton's mood couldn't help but become depressed.

 But then, it cheered up again.

 Because it is back, when it meets its little master again, it must say to the little master: I am back.

 Early the next morning, Qishu took the Kuailong back to Niangguang City.

 Half an hour after Kuailong left, Zhishu received a message from Qishu.

　　【Qishu: Thank you, I was very happy yesterday! 】

Naoki smiled, returned a smiling expression, and then put away his phone.

 It was another brand new day, and there was still a lot of work waiting for him to do in the pasture.

 While Naoki was planting summer crops in the farmland, Keri led the construction team to the pasture.

 She said hello to Naoki, then looked left and right, gossiping: "Where is your little girlfriend?"

These words made Naoki confused on the spot: "What kind of little girlfriend?"

 But then, Naoki suddenly noticed something.

Keli is talking about the strange tree, right?

As expected, the next second, Naoki heard Keri say: "That's the girl who came to the ranch yesterday!"

 Naoki: “…”

"Don't talk nonsense, she came to the ranch to challenge the trial." Naoki shook his head.

However, a smile appeared on Keri's face: "Oh? Really? But I found that the way she looked at you was different!"

 Naoki: “…”

 What look? Qishu looked at him differently?

impossible?

Keli didn't say much. After saying those few words, she continued the construction with her strange strength.

 Zhi Shu was left alone standing there with a confused look on his face.

 But he couldn't figure it out after thinking for a while, so he simply didn't think about it.

In addition, the video phone in the house rang, so Naoki put the matter behind him and went into the house to answer the phone.

Although Rotom phones have become popular in the world, video phones have not been eliminated.

 Because some trainers do not have Rotom phones, or have lost their phones in the wild, they can go to the local Pokémon Center and use the video phone there to communicate with family and friends.

The video phone at Zhi Shu Ranch is also retained, but Zhi Shu regards this video phone as a public phone at the ranch.

 On weekdays, customers who need to order vegetables, milk, fruits, etc. will call this number.

 The call was connected, and a rough voice came from the other end.

"Hey, is this Zhishu Ranch? I'm a dessert shop owner who lives in the next city. This city is holding a dessert competition recently. Fresh apples are needed to make apple pies and apple candies. I plan to get it from you. Order a batch of apples there!”

"Okay, no problem." After hearing the other party's needs clearly, Naoki asked the man to send his location and contact information, and said that he would send the apple there soon.

 Soon, Naoki got the information about this guest.

Name: Cliff

 Contact number: 6937394

Address: Shop No. 3, Lanhaiwan Street, Boping City

 Hang up the phone, Zhi Shu used the map app to check the distance between Boping City and Zhiqin Town.

 If you drive, you can get there in about an hour and a half.

After confirming the location, Naoki began to call his Pokémon assistants to go to the apple orchard on the other side of the river to pick apples.

This season, the apples in the apple orchard are big and round, and almost every one of them is red, which looks very attractive.

The task of picking apples is very simple. Zhi Shu originally only called Gu Luton and Motor Lizard to help.

　　After hearing this, Eguifen and Saifuhao also took the initiative to run over and wanted to help.

So, Naoshu gave them several cartons and asked them to put the picked apples into the cartons.

Equip and Sai Fuhao are both very smart, and they learned how to operate just by looking at them.

 They picked the apples from the trees and put them into cartons in a decent manner.

Seeing that they were picking quite well, Naoki withdrew his gaze with relief and continued to work on his own affairs.

At first, the two Pokémon worked very smoothly, but soon, Zhi Shu heard Ergui Ping let out a cry of surprise, as if he had been frightened in some way.

Zhi Shu and several other Pokémon quickly turned their heads to look.

 “What's wrong?” Naoki asked.

Equip pointed to an apple on the fruit tree.

 “Boni!”

Zhishu looked in the direction of his finger, and then he saw a strange-looking "apple".

That thing looks very much like an apple at first glance, but if you look closely, you can see the difference between it and a real apple.

 Big eyes replaced the original apple stems, a pair of caterpillar tails emerged from the holes at the back of the apple, and two small fang-like patterns appeared on the lower part of the apple.

 Obviously, there was a worm in the apple.

Looking at the strange apple, Naoki's name immediately came to mind.

 Fruit-gnawing worms?

　　Seemingly frightened by the cry of the worm, the fruit-gnawing insect immediately retracted into the apple and hid inside without daring to move.

Looking at the fruit-gnawing insect, Zhi Shu's first reaction was that it's finally here!

 He had been looking forward to the arrival of fruit-gnawing worms in his apple orchard for a long time.

 Because of the ripening characteristics, fruit-gnawing insects can help ripen tree fruits and apples!

 With them, the orchard on the World Tree can grow better.

Thinking of this, Naoki stopped what he was doing and said to Ergui: "Don't worry, it is also a Pokémon. Its name is Fruit Gnawer, and it is a Pokémon that lives in apples."

 Hearing this, Sai Fuhao showed an expression of surprise on his face.

 Can Pokémon still live inside an apple?

And Eguifen's face was full of horror.

Because it is very worried, what should I do if I accidentally eat the fruit-gnawing worms in the apple in the future?

 "Boni..." Erguifen didn't know what he thought of here, and his face suddenly became very ugly.

Zhishu noticed the expressions of the two Pokémon and explained:

“Don't worry, the fruit-gnawing worm does not live in the apple from the beginning. It hides in the apple after it is born, and then spends its whole life inside.”

“You don't have to be afraid of it, Eguifen. As long as you pay more attention when eating apples in the future, you can tell the difference between fruit-gnawing worms and ordinary apples.”

As he spoke, Zhishu stepped forward and stretched out his hand to cover the apple inhabited by fruit-gnawing worms.

 The power of controlling the dragon, activate!

As a dragon-type fruit-gnawing insect, he immediately felt an aura of affinity.

It was stunned for a moment, and then stretched out its eyes from the apple to observe the situation curiously.

 Then, the fruit-gnawing worm noticed that the human being had arrived in front of him.

The fruit-gnawing insect subconsciously wanted to avoid it, but soon it realized that the aura that made it feel friendly was emanating from this human being.

“Hello, Fruit-Gnawing Bug, I am Naoki and I am the owner of this orchard. You don't have to be afraid, there are no Pokémon here that will hurt you.” Naoki expressed his kindness towards the Fruit-Gnawing Bug.

The fruit-gnawing worm looked at this human being very cautiously. Originally, it was still wary, worried that the other person would eat it.

 Because fruit-gnawing insects that have not yet evolved are very fragile, various events can cause their death.

For example, if they lose the apple they are hiding in, the water in their bodies will slowly drain away, and they will gradually become weak. If they cannot find the apple, they will lose their lives in weakness.

 Or if the apple falls from a height, the fruit-gnawing insects may be forced to escape from the apple in the process.

In addition to these two accidents, they also have to worry about natural enemy bird Pokémon from time to time.

  Sometimes, even Pokémon like Buzzbat mistake them for food and take them back to their lair.

Who made them look too much like apples?

However, soon, the fruit-gnawing insect felt a special power from the human in front of him.

The other person seems to be taking care of it and conveying his thoughts to it.

　　【Don't be afraid, no one or Pokémon here will hurt you. 】

The fruit-gnawing insects gradually relaxed their vigilance.

 He knew that Pokémon without dragon attributes could refuse the power of dragon control.

"Well, from now on, you can live here with peace of mind!" Zhishu said.

 After helping the fruit-gnawing worm evolve into a plump dragon or other forms, the World Tree should be fully grown by then. At that time, he will send the fruit-gnawing worm to live on the world tree.

 It's an absolutely safe place for Pokémon.

But before that, Naoki still had one thing to do.

 “Come on, fruit-gnawing worm, let me see your characteristics first.”

 He conveyed his message to the fruit-gnawing worm.

The fruit-gnawing insect seemed to understand. After a while, it finally understood what Naoki meant.

I saw a fruit-gnawing worm jumping next to a slightly green apple.

 The next second, a special wave was released from its body.

Affected by this fluctuation, the green apple began to turn red at a speed visible to the naked eye, and eventually completely transformed into a big red apple.

Seeing this scene, two big words suddenly appeared in Naoki's mind - [Mature].

The characteristics of this fruit-gnawing insect are perfectly suited to the ripening of the orchard!

Pokémon with this characteristic can take care of fruit trees and help their fruits grow better and faster.

Zhi Shu felt happy, but then he felt the thought of eating fruit worms through the power of dragon control.

　　【I ripened all the apples on this tree! 】

"Huh?" Naoki was very surprised: "Really?"

The fruit-gnawing worm answered in the affirmative.

Seeing this, Zhishu turned his head to look at the apple growth of this apple tree, and then observed the apples on other fruit trees for a while.

Through comparison, he found that the apples on this fruit tree had been ripe for some time, and the reason why there was still a green apple was because the fruit-gnawing worms had not had time to ripen it.

 “Why are you doing these things?” Naoki asked curiously.

The idea of ​​eating fruit worms was quickly conveyed to him through the power of dragon control.

  【Because I ate one of your apples, I will ripen a few apples and return them to you. 】

Zhi Shu didn't expect this to be the reason.

 “You were here a long time ago?” he asked.

However, the fruit-gnawing insect said that it had not been here long, but it had seen Zhishu watering and taking care of the fruit trees in the apple orchard before, so it knew that this was the territory of this human being.

“That's it.” Naoki nodded, thinking that this fruit-gnawing insect was quite sensible.

"In that case, you can stay here first! After a while, I will take you to another place to live. There is no danger there. You can help take care of the orchard there," Zhishu said.

The fruit-gnawing bug agreed.

Zhi Shu put it back on the tree, and then led his Pokémon assistant to continue working, packing the apples into boxes and loading them into the pickup truck.

After everything was completed, Naoki sat in the driver's seat, pulled a cart of apples and a cart of Pokémon following the car, and drove on the road to deliver goods to customers.

At the same time, in the Fengyuan region, a vast mountain forest.

Chao Meng, who was leading a group of cloned Pokémon to find his place in this world and the meaning of his existence, suddenly felt a familiar aura.

It stopped flying and used its superpowers to slowly land with Meowth, Pikachu, Bulbasaur and other cloned Pokémon.

As soon as he landed, Chaomeng saw two familiar figures in the dense forest.

 One is a bear cub with a righteous heart.

 The other one was the fantasy Pokémon that it once regarded as its mother and had a fierce battle with, Mew.
