Chapter 14: +1 for new members of the ranch

The next morning, Naoki opened his eyes and heard the sound of rain outside.

Looking out the window, I saw that the outside world was gray and the sky was dark.

It's raining.

The spring rains shrouded the crops that had just been planted.

"It saves me the effort of watering." Naoki thought.

On a rainy day, Naoki didn't want to get mud on his feet, so he didn't plan to go out to engage in fishing and picking mountain goods, so he didn't choose to go out.

Instead, he stayed at home and renovated the old house, changing the furniture to his liking.

Move the desk under the window, so that when he reads in the future, his vision can be more open, and he will not have to be as depressed as before.

The position of the bed was not moving, and leaning against the corner gave him a sense of security.

As for the cabinets......

Naoki circled around it, and finally prepared to move it to the other side, using it to separate the lounge area from the kitchen.

It's just that when Naoki directs Soleton to move the cupboard away, he is surprised to find a dusty fireplace in the back.

The fireplace was dark, and there were still some burnt marks.

Naoki leaned in to take a closer look, and soon noticed that the fireplace seemed to be functional.

It was okay to be idle, so he simply began to clean up the old plant ash left in the fireplace.

Soon, the fireplace was cleaned, and looking there, Naoki couldn't help but think, "What a big surprise!" ”

In this way, in the winter, he can light the fireplace to increase the temperature in the house, and he does not have to worry about freezing.

As an ordinary social animal living in modern times, this is the first time he has seen such a thing as a fireplace.

Speaking of the fireplace, Naoki remembered the fairy tales he read in a storybook as a child.

What kind of forest mother bear sitting in front of the fireplace knitting a sweater for the bear, the bear playing with the ball of yarn next to the heart.

Not to mention, that kind of life is really exciting.

Of course, it would be nice to have a few more Pokémon.

Like the cute Eevee, the warm six-tails, the cute and cute Pikachu, and the pink and tender Mukai Meow, and so on.

"This is the real life!"

Naoki couldn't help but sigh.

If he hadn't crossed it, he would probably be braving the heavy rain to catch the subway to work right now, right?

However, the past is gone, not to mention that there is nothing to be nostalgic about.

It's all about the moment.

Naoki shook his head, the room was a little stuffy, so he opened the door and let the wind in.

Blowing in the cool wind, Naoki sat down at his desk and began to flip through the "Ranch Encyclopedia", looking up the information about spring crops on it.

Including how to fertilize, the growth cycle, the number of times you can receive the goods, and so on.

The motorcycle lizard and the old Leton did not disturb him to read, and quietly lay by the door and listened to the rain.

And at that moment, it was as if Loton had sensed something.

It suddenly straightened up and took two steps forward.

"Hiss?"

Naoki turned his head when he heard the sound, and saw that Loton poked his head out the door and looked to the side.

"What's wrong?"

"Quack."

So Loton tilted his head to look at the familiar green caterpillar.

Seeing its movements, Naoki also got up and stepped forward to check.

Looking at the green caterpillar curled up under the eaves and drenched in the rain, Naoki had a surprised expression on his face.

"Green caterpillars?"

As if hearing his voice, the green caterpillar opened its eyes a little weakly and looked over.

"Sizzle......"

Seeing this scene, a bold idea immediately popped up in Naoki's mind.

This green caterpillar can't be the one he used to test the effect of glutinous rice dumplings yesterday, right?

What does it mean when it comes along?

Naoki was surprised inwardly, and observed the state of the green caterpillar a little, and saw that it seemed to be weak, so he brought it into the room, helped it dry the rain, and then took out an old blanket and wrapped it in it.

"Sizzle......"

Seeing this human's movements, the green caterpillar's eyes were filled with gratitude.

Yesterday it followed.

However, due to its slow speed and some Pokémon attacks on the way, it only arrived here after dark.

Those Pokémon are very strong, and the green caterpillar has only been able to run away from them before, but after eating that magical fruit, it has the ability to fight them.

Not enough to defeat those guys, but the tough silk was able to trap them inside.

Seeing his own strength made the green caterpillar even more grateful to the human who helped him.

It wants to be stronger, it wants to make all Pokémon dare not look down on itself, so here it is.

But he was worried that he would disturb the other party, so the green caterpillar stayed outside the door.

Naoki brought a plate of warm juice and put it in front of the green caterpillar.

Watching the green caterpillar drink the juice, Naoki thought of the green caterpillar's actions, and said in his heart, this guy should not have been fooled by it, just like Ash's Heracross, in the anime, and want to travel with him, right?

After pondering for a moment, Naoki asked tentatively, "Do you want to choose me to be your trainer?" ”

The green caterpillar stopped drinking, felt the warmth of his body, and nodded repeatedly: "Sizzle! ”

"But I'm not a trainer!" Naoki spreads his hands: "As you can see, I'm just an ordinary rancher, and I don't know how to train Pokémon. ”

For training Pokémon, he only has a lot of theoretical knowledge, and he still watches anime, and he has no hands-on practice at all.

"Sizzle......"

The green caterpillar looked a little sad.

Naoki scratched his head, worthy of the Pokémon world, even a bug is so smart.

In order to become stronger, this green caterpillar took the initiative to follow, and also learned from Cheng Yicheng Men Lixue......

If he didn't show something, it would be too much to say.

Naoki fell into deep thought.

Although the green caterpillar is a very weak Pokémon, its evolved Bada Butterfly is still quite good, and it can help the crops in the pasture spread pollen and help them grow.

Thinking of this, Naoki said again: "I'm not a trainer, so it's impossible to treat you like a trainer training Pokémon, but I may use other methods to help you become stronger, even so, do you still want to follow me?" ”

With so many types of dishes, one day in the future, he may make another dish that has the effect of strengthening the abilities of the Bada butterfly or the green caterpillar.

But this probability is not 100%, so Naoki used the word "possible".

If the green caterpillar wants to, he will let it stay in the pasture and help with the work.

The green caterpillar understood the meaning of these words, and it looked down at the blanket wrapped around it, and then at the juice in front of it that warmed its body.

This human being is so nice!

Not only did he save the injured man in the wild, but he also gave him the fruit to become stronger, and now he has also provided him with blankets and food.

At this moment, the green caterpillar no longer chooses this human just to become stronger.

- It likes this human.

Thinking of this, the green caterpillar nodded.

"Sizzle~"
