Chapter 20: Building a Chicken Coop
Two days later, the pasture was cleared of trees and rocks, leaving only a patch of jagged weeds.
The motorcycle lizard played in the grass, so Loton stood beside Naoki.
During this time, the two have been in a state of non-interference with each other.
Because Leton doesn't know how to face his past self, he has always kept a certain distance from it.
The motorcycle lizard was puzzled, coupled with the disgust and sour gaze it occasionally received from Gu Leton, and the terrible coercion emanating from Gu Leton, so that it did not dare to take the initiative to get close to each other.
Naoki doesn't know what's going on between the two Pokémon, he's been very busy in the last few days and has been devoting himself to the work of the ranch.
At this moment, Naoki stood under the eaves, looking at the pasture he had worked so hard to maintain.
Without the shade of trees, the view of the ranch is much wider, and from the position of the wooden house, you can see the entire ranch.
It's finally time!
Naoki sighed, he turned to the back of the hut and counted the wood, and when he saw that there was enough of it, he prepared to go to the town of Ranqin and ask Kerry from the carpentry shop to come over and help build the chicken hut.
Riding on the motorcycle lizard, Naoki looked at the old Leton beside him and said to it, "The task of taking care of the house is entrusted to you!" ”
"Quack......
Therefore, Leton looked pitiful, and at the same time looked at the motorcycle lizard sourly.
Naoki: "......"
He reached out and touched the head of the old Leton, and said to it: "Be obedient, and I'll take you out next time!" ”
"Quack!"
So Leton immediately became happy and licked Naoki's hand like a big dog.
Leaving the old Leton at the ranch to watch over the house, Naoki gently patted the motorcycle lizard on the shoulder, and the motorcycle lizard began to run.
Therefore, Loton and the pasture gradually disappeared behind him, and it was not until he could no longer see that Naoki withdrew his gaze and thought:
"It's a bit of a hassle not to have Poké Balls, and you can't always have Pokémon with you."
It's not impossible to take Soleton with you, but that's too eye-catching, and Naoki still likes to keep a low profile.
The price of Poké Balls is not expensive, and this time he can buy a few in town and keep them for backup, so they can run freely in the pasture.
If you need to go out, you can put them in a Poké Ball and take them with you.
Therefore, as soon as he arrived in the town, Naoki went to the local store that specialized in training household goods and bought a few standard red and white balls.
After that, I went to the Zoqin Market to buy ingredients for the next period of time, and finally went to the woodworking shop.
From a long distance, Naoki saw Kerry, the proprietress of the carpentry shop.
She wore a khaki cargo jumpsuit today, a pink shirt on top, pink hair tied up high, and bangs held in place with a headband, revealing a smooth forehead.
Kerry's face shape is a standard goose egg face, perhaps because of her years of carpentry, her figure appears very strong, and the whole person looks generous and neat.
Kerry was sawing a plank with a saw on a stake in the doorway.
Hearing footsteps behind her, she turned her head and recognized the young rancher at a glance.
"Is that you? The weather is really nice today, how is the work on the ranch? Kerry asked with a smile.
"It's almost done, Miss Kerry." Naoki explained his intentions: "I want to ask you to help build a chicken hut. ”
A look of surprise appeared on Kerry's face: "So fast? It seems like it's been less than a week since we last met, right? Have you saved up enough money for the expansion? ”
Naoki nodded with a smile: "Because there are motorcycle lizards helping out, the progress will be much faster." ”
Kerry glanced at the motorcycle lizard and knew in her heart: "I understand, please wait for me for a while!" ”
She put down her saw and walked into the house, where she soon came out with a special measuring tool and an adult motorcycle lizard.
"Let's go! Take me to your ranch, where I need to inspect the site, and when you've decided where to build the chicken hut, I'll come over with the construction team tomorrow morning and start working. ”
"Okay."
Naoki nodded, leading the way on his motorcycle, Kerry following, and after about half an hour, the two arrived at the ranch.
From a distance, Naoki saw Gu Leton waiting for him to come back at the entrance of the ranch.
Therefore, Leton was lying on the grass bored, and when he saw Naoki's figure, he immediately jumped up excitedly.
Kerry also saw the Pokémon, a Pokémon she had never seen before.
"Is it your Pokémon too?"
Kerry is not a trainer, and her knowledge of Pokémon is limited to those that inhabit the area around the town of Ranqin and the Pokémon she occasionally sees on TV.
Therefore, Loton was just a strange Pokémon to her, and she didn't show too much surprise.
"That's right, thanks to its help, I was able to save up the materials so quickly." Naoki smiled and nodded.
Hearing this, Kerry didn't ask much.
They disembarked at the entrance to the ranch, and Naoki soothed Oldton's head and walked around the ranch side by side with Klee.
Moto Lizard and Old Lerton walked slowly behind them.
Looking at the scene in front of her, Kerry praised: "You have taken care of this place very well!" ”
She pondered: "I used to come here when I was a child, and my parents brought me to experience milking cows, and the owner of the ranch was a very kind old man who gave us a warm welcome. ”
"He's my grandfather." Naoki remembers the original owner's memory, "Because my parents had a special illness and needed to recuperate in a good environment, we moved to the Hoenn area when I was very young. ”
"I see, no wonder I didn't see you then." Kerry nodded slightly, then asked, "Have you already chosen the location of the chicken hut?" ”
Naoki pointed to a clearing on the west side of the farmland and said, "There." ”
The location is close to the river, and when the chicken hut is built, a wooden fence is placed nearby, so that the chickens can be released on sunny days.
Kerry glanced at it, and from a carpenter's point of view, it was a good position:
"Great location, in addition to the chicken hut, you can also build a water-powered mill by the river, put the wheat and corn in it and grind it with the help of the wind and the current, and the flour and corn flour can be eaten by yourself or used as chicken feed."
Naoki's heart moved: "Water mill? "Is it free?
Klee saw what he was thinking, and couldn't help but laugh, "That's another price, and when you have enough money, I'll come and help you build it." ”
Naoki: "......"
After deciding on the site, Kerry took out another tool to take measurements, and after collecting the data, she walked around the ranch under Naoki's leadership.
After all, cooperation is still needed in the future, so it is necessary to inspect the ranch in advance and help with ranch planning.
