Not a Trainer This Time Chapter 487

Chapter 487 Beating up the father-in-law

 The Chinese New Year is approaching and the weather is cold. People all over Padia are staying at home and rarely go out on weekdays.

 This afternoon, after Qishu got up from his nap, he found that someone was suddenly missing from his home.

 “Huh?” She asked with surprise on her face, “Where is daddy?”

The woman sitting on the sofa knitting a scarf with the silk of a bead spider felt a little guilty:

"He? Several of his old friends came to visit home today, and they went to the city to have dinner together."

“Why haven't I heard that dad has old friends?” Qishu became even more confused.

  Woman: “Maybe he was someone he met while traveling when he was young, right?”

"Oh well."

 Qishu didn't pay attention, and she began to take care of the electric belly frogs and eat their breakfast.

Zhi Shu is just like the people in the Napadia area. He stays at home from morning to night, spending his days leisurely with Pokémon and rarely going out.

However, what surprised him was that even in such weather, there would be trainers coming to the ranch to challenge him.

In the afternoon, while Naoki was watching the live Pokémon battle at home, there was a sudden knock on the door outside.

 This surprised Naoki.

How can anyone still visit us in this weather?

 Could it be that Mayor Thomas and the others need help with something urgent?

Thinking of this, Zhi Shu quickly stepped forward to open the door.

But when he opened the door, it was not Mayor Thomas or Mrs. Dantès who caught his eye.

Rather, it was a strange middle-aged man who was about forty years old, wearing a gray winter coat and a scarf, and looked very tough.

Zhishu was stunned for a moment, and then asked politely: "Who are you looking for?"

"Looking for the owner here." The man looked at him and asked, "Are you Naoki?"

"...It's me." Naoki thought of a possibility and looked stunned, then welcomed the person into the living room: "It's so cold outside, let's come in and have a cup of tea first!"

 “Quite polite.” The man thought to himself.

 He followed the boy into the house and looked around calmly.

 The fireplace in the room was burning brightly, the air was warm, the floor was swept clean, and Pokémon toys were scattered on the floor.

A Motorized Lizard, a Different-Colored Bubba, two Tussocks, a Frost Milk Fairy, and a Pokémon he had never seen before were lying in front of the fireplace.

As he expected, there were a lot of Pokémon living here.

Looking at the appearance of those Pokémon, each of them has smooth fur and looks very energetic. At first glance, it can be seen that they are well taken care of by their owners.

This shows that this kid is a kind and caring person who treats Pokémon well.

 The man nodded inwardly, and then sat down on the sofa.

The nurturing waiter quickly brought him a cup of steaming tea.

It was windy and snowy along the way, and the man was now chilled. After drinking a cup of hot tea, he felt comfortable all over.

 “You're here to challenge the trial too, right?” Naoki asked.

 Trial? The man's face was calm, but he was a little confused in his heart. What kind of trial? Isn't this a ranch?

“Yes, I've heard of it before, but I haven't understood it in depth yet. Can you introduce it to me?” the man said.

This kind of thing is normal. On weekdays, there are also some trainers who have only heard of the special training trial by the Zhishu Ranch gang and come over to challenge it.

Naoki didn't think much, but introduced:

“So far, there are four trials in the pasture, namely the grass trial, the thunder and lightning trial, the storm trial and the finger-waving trial.”

"The Green Grass Trial requires me to fight against my mount goat, the Thunder and Lightning Trial requires me to fight against the Babu Woodchuck, the Storm Trial requires me to fight against the Kuailong, and the Finger Swinging Trial is equivalent to a trial of luck. Only those who know how to Only Pokémon that use the command skill can participate.”

Hearing this, the man suddenly realized that things seemed a little different from what he thought...

“Except for the command-flailing trial, other trials require a certain number of gym badges to be collected before you can participate.”

“The Grass Trial requires eight pieces, the Thunder Trial and the Storm Trial require four pieces. Which one do you want to challenge?”

 “Is there still such a condition?” The man was a little surprised.

Zhi Shu nodded helplessly: "Because if the difference in Pokémon strength is too big, there is no way to achieve a good effect."

The difference in Pokémon strength is too big?

 The man does not believe in evil. He recalled that back then, he was also a talented trainer who collected eight gym badges and challenged the championship level.

 In this case, he can directly challenge the Green Grass Trial!

 Zhi Shu nodded: "Okay, but you have to show your gym badge."

The man was a little embarrassed: "I didn't know about this. The eight badges I collected before were all left at home and I didn't bring them over."

 Naoki: “…”

 This is the first time he has encountered this situation.

 But judging from this person's age, he must not be a fledgling new trainer.

After some thought, Naoki chose to believe the other party.

 “Okay, if that's the case, then I'll make an exception.”

 The wind and snow outside just stopped.

Zhishu took a look at the weather, and then took the uncle to the battle site in the pasture.

 The man immediately saw the three mount goats lying lazily under the shed eating tree fruits.

Thinking of the goat milk sold in that shop, the man couldn't help but widen his eyes.

 “Are they the milk-producing sheep in your pasture?”

Zhi Shu was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said: "Yes, they are also responsible for producing milk. The goat milk sold in the ranch is produced by the three of them."

The man frowned slightly. He subconsciously thought that this kind of Pokémon that was engaged in production work was not the main force of this boy.

 How strong can a dairy goat that only produces milk be?

"Are there any more powerful Pokémon? You were also a trainer who traveled outside before, right? Come up with your strongest lineup and have a Pokémon battle with me!"

 Hearing this, a big question mark appeared above Zhishu's head.

 This uncle has such a strong tone!

 He said euphemistically: "The goat mount is also one of my main forces."

 Excluding those legendary Pokémon, the mount goat's strength is also among the best in the ranch.

“I am very strong, and your rules are of no use to me, because it was thirty years ago that I collected all eight badges.” The man shook his head.

This means that compared to ordinary trainers, he has more than thirty years of experience in fighting Pokémon.

 Naoki: “…”

“To be honest, stronger Pokémon are hidden tests in the ranch. If you want to challenge them, you need to pass the three basic tests first.” He explained.

 Hearing this, the man suddenly became interested.

 “Then let me see your strength first!”

The two of them walked to the opposite ends of the battlefield respectively. Naoki did not clean the snow on the ground, but directly used the snow as the snow ground.

The Pokémon Naoki sent was a mount goat, while the man sent a Pokémon that looked like a Kamen Rider.

 The fierce-legged locust!

 The battle has officially begun!

The Fierce-Legged Locust raised its hands with a screeching sound, then jumped up high and swooped towards the goat.

The mountain goat looked calm, and there was no trace of panic in his resolute eyes.

Zhi Shu had already seen the flaw in the fierce-legged locust, and he said softly: "Yan Hui."

 The next second, the goat's movements suddenly accelerated and it ran to the side.

The Flaming Leg Locust immediately launched a pursuit, but it never thought that it was just a fake move. When the Flaming Leg Locust changed the landing position of the pounce, it was already too late to attack again!

 After teasing the Blazing-Legged Locust with agile movements, a stream of milky white air emerged from the horns of the mount goat.

The airflow turned into a sharp blade of wind and hit the Fierce-Legged Locust hard.

 “How is that possible?!” Seeing this scene, the man was shocked. Why did the goat mount react so quickly?

Although he was surprised in his heart, he still maintained a calm command: "Kick the lower plate!"

 The Lielegs Locust, who was knocked to the ground, gave the rear a look calmly, took advantage of the opportunity to get up, turned his right leg, and kicked the goat in the leg.

 “Very good, that's it!” Seeing the move hit, the man was very excited.

However, the next second, he saw an extremely terrifying scene.

 A green light was released from the mount goat, and it instantly turned into a hemispherical aura, covering the entire battlefield.

 “That's...” The man opened his eyes wide.

The Flaming Legs Locust sensed the crisis and looked around with vigilance.

"Mount the goat, use that move!" Naoki said.     “Yeah.”

The mount goat barked calmly, its body leaned down slightly, and green light quickly condensed in its mouth, turning into a huge holy sword of grass.

man:! !

What kind of move is that?

 “Scorching-legged locust, get out of the way!” The man sensed the crisis and immediately shouted.

However, it was too late. The mounted goat had a leaf blade in its mouth and slashed straight at it.

In an instant, the green light submerged the Blazing-legged Locust.

 In the huge explosion, the Flaming Legs Locust was directly blown away, fell to the snow and lost its ability to fight.

 The man looked at the mount goat in disbelief.

 Based on its performance just now, are these mount goats really just ordinary dairy goats?

 The man suddenly doubted his life.

"Unfortunately, you failed the grass test." Naoki shook his head regretfully.

 Hearing this, the man immediately came back to his senses.

He looked at the boy opposite with a heavy expression, feeling that he was losing some dignity on his face.

 A few days ago, he planned to let this guy see his strength as a gym leader.

 After a moment of silence, the man shook his head and said, "No, come again! I have more powerful Pokémon!"

 After saying that, the man took out the next elf ball.

 With a flash of white light, a handsome red lotus armored knight appeared on the battlefield.

However, a minute later, the scene that happened to the Flaming Legs Locust happened again.

 “Come again!”

 Thirty seconds later, Dian Haiyan failed!

 “No, I still have Pokémon!”

 Twenty seconds later, the super-powerful ostrich fell to the ground.

 “I don't believe it!”

 After fifteen seconds, the three-in-one Magnemite cannot rise again.

 Five seconds later, Aplysia was instantly killed with one move.

 At this point, all six of the man's Pokémon have been defeated, and the goat has achieved a feat of six in a row.

 In the end, even Naoki felt a little cruel.

“Uncle, why don't we forget it?”

 Sister Ai Guan Shi stepped forward and used goat milk to help heal the Pokémon that fell to the ground.

 The man's face was livid, his eyes widened, and he left with the Pokémon angrily.

 Zhi Shu was left standing there confused.

 What a strange uncle...

 “What?” The goat on the mount also looked confused.

Zhi Shu couldn't figure it out and simply didn't think about it. He touched the goat's head and said to it:

“Thank you for your hard work, let's take a good rest!”

 “That boy is so rude!

 After returning home, the man sat down on the sofa.

His wife was a little surprised when she saw this scene: "Isn't he a good person?"

"..." The man was about to speak, but after thinking about it carefully, he found that except for Pokémon battles, the other party was quite polite, and he also took good care of Pokémon.

Looking at the behavior of the Pokémon in that ranch, they all like him. Based on this alone, the man can tell that the other person is not a bad person.

Seeing her husband's appearance, the woman immediately understood.

She asked funnyly: "You must have lost to someone else, right?"

man:"…"

 He gritted his teeth and was very angry: "So that kid was so rude! He defeated six of my Pokémon with only one Pokémon!!"

 The woman burst out laughing: "You are the one who wants to challenge others."

"dare you laugh!"

　　"Okay, okay!" The woman gently comforted her husband: "Looking at you, he seems to be a pretty good person."

“I originally thought that it doesn't matter if that person is not a great trainer, as long as he can take good care of our daughter.”

"But looking at it now, not only can he take care of Qishu, he is also a very good trainer. This is something to be happy about!"

“Besides, you didn't identify yourself when you went, right?”

man:"…"

The man felt very embarrassed when he thought about how he was brazen enough to challenge that kid's stronger Pokémon.

 “Stop talking, I want to be quiet.”

 He lay on the sofa and closed his eyes and began to pretend to be dead.

 Seeing her husband like this, the woman became curious about the young man named Naoki.

 She also wanted to go over and see what kind of person the other person was.

 But the Chinese New Year is coming soon, and she may not have time to go there.

“Forget it, let's wait until spring to visit him again!”

 The woman has made a plan in her mind.

 When the flowers bloom in spring next year, she will bring some gifts and pretend to be a lost tourist to visit the ranch.

Time passed quietly, and in the blink of an eye, it came to the last day of the 200th year of the alliance calendar.

 Early in the morning, Zhishu Ranch began to prepare for the New Year.

 This year is the third year since Naoki came to this world, and it is also the third year since he met the Motorized Lizards.

 After this year, it will be the fourth year since they met.

It is quite emotional to say that without realizing it, the abandoned pasture has completely changed its look.

And so many Pokémon have come to live here.

 Zhi Shu, who was preparing New Year's Eve dinner at home, couldn't help but look around.

The brother and sister Ai Guanshi are decorating the house with colorful ribbons and lights, preparing to give their home more New Year atmosphere.

Egui Peng opened the window and looked at the snow over there, and the stars in his eyes were filled with the light of happiness.

Motor Lizard was arranging his toys and scarves in front of the fireplace. Those were bought by Naoki. Motor Lizard put them in a storage box alone.

Huluton kept "making trouble" next to the Motorized Lizard, and seemed to be envious of the Motorized Lizard for having so many toys.

However, it also has many toys... Is this called eating from the bowl and looking at the pot? Naoki couldn't help but curse.

The Babu woodchuck is eating the macadamia nuts and chestnuts that Zhishu prepared for them with his parents.

Today is the Chinese New Year. In order to reunite the family, Naoki went to the World Tree to pick up Babu Tubo's parents.

There were sounds of buzzing and buzzing coming from upstairs. It must be the Eevees playing around above.

  Kuailong and Mini Dragon were sitting on the floor, happily eating the fried dried fish that Naoki gave them.

 But Lei Guanwang was still sitting on the sofa playing with her mobile phone.

The former famous King of Galar has now completely become a mobile phone king.

Looking at this scene of Pokémon playing happily, Naoki couldn't help but smile.

 At this time, Alvin, the town's postman, came to the ranch.

“Naoki, there's your letter! It's New Year's greetings from everyone in the town!”

Evan is still full of energy.

"Thank you!" Zhi Shu smiled and took it from him. After saying Happy New Year to each other, Alvin left because he had to go to other ranches to deliver letters.

 Opening the envelope, most of the contents on the letter were New Year's greetings from the townspeople.

There are also notices about the arrival of new goods from some stores, saying that there will be new crops and new flower seeds in the store next year. If Zhishu Ranch needs them, he can go to the store to buy them.
