Chapter 32: Familiarization (Two Chapters in One)
Seeing Dr. Orin and little Paipa leave, Naoki returns to the room, looking at the familiar videophone, and thinks of the image of Ash calling Dr. Oki at the Pokémon Center in the anime.
The arrival of Dr. Orin also made him realize the point in time he was in.
Ten years before Zhu Zi's plot happened, at this time, Xiao Zhi probably hadn't traveled yet, but it was also possible that he hadn't been out for a long time.
If that's the case, that's interesting.
Because this also means that Mewtwo has not yet been born, Lokia has not yet exploded, Groudor and Gaioca have not yet awakened, and Team Galaxy has not yet controlled the two gods of time and space......
Of course, the premise of all this is that there is Ash in this world.
However, whether he is there or not, it doesn't seem to have anything to do with him.
Because he was just an ordinary rancher.
Life goes on.
He doesn't have any income today, and he can't go on like this.
Naoki sighed, picked up the bucket and rode to the upper reaches of the river.
When he returned, the bucket was filled with fish.
At five o'clock in the evening, Zach drove the truck to pick up the goods on time.
As the temperature warmed up, Zach took off his thick jacket and went out to work wearing only a short shirt.
Looking at the new pasture, Zach sighed: "Oh, this is really a day at a time!" ”
He looked at the seedlings in the field and said to Naoki, "In half a month, the crops in the field should be ripe." ”
Naoki: "Yes! ”
"Before you get the next crop, you can go to the town and buy some fertilizer to fertilize them, the higher the quality of the crop, the higher the price of the sale!" Zach said casually, and then asked, "Did you get anything out of today?" ”
Naoki handed over the bucket of fish.
Zach counted it, then took out the account book and calculated, and finally took out a wad of money from his satchel and handed it over with a smile: "A total of two thousand six hundred and twenty alliance coins, please take it!" ”
Naoki reached out and took it.
Zach moved the goods to the car, then sat in the driver's seat, and waved at Naoki while reversing: "See you tomorrow!" ”
Naoki also said, "See you tomorrow!" ”
Zach was sent away, and it was dark.
It was not early, so Naoki went back to the house to prepare dinner.
Frost Fairy jumps out of the cupboard and runs to the desk to play with Mini-Fu.
Naoki looked at them, thinking that the two little ones had been staying indoors for the past two days and hadn't gone out much, so he said to them, "Don't you feel bored staying in the house all the time?" Hang out once in a while! ”
"Mama ......"
"Fleur......
Hearing this, Frost Milk Fairy and Mini Fu looked outside, as if they were a little scared of that strange world.
Naoki understood.
Before coming here, Frost Milk Fairy and Mini Fu had been living in the fields of Happy Ranch, where they grew up and naturally did not be afraid.
And now, they are in a completely unfamiliar pasture, and for them, only this small wooden house and Naoki can give them a sense of security.
So, they stayed indoors for the past two days and didn't go out.
"It's not okay to go on like this!"
Naoki thought about it for a while, and decided to take the two of them for a walk in the ranch after dinner to familiarize themselves with the environment.
Today's dinner was a creamy mushroom soup, Chinese-style pork buns, fried pork steak sprinkled with black pepper, an original boiled egg, and five glasses of milk with different fruit juices.
That's it for a hearty dinner.
Several Pokémon were very happy to eat.
The mini fu and the frost milk fairy are very good to eat, chewing and swallowing slowly in small bites.
Therefore, the eating appearance of Loton and the motorcycle lizard is simply carved out of a mold, unrestrained and rough, and the claws and mouth of the food are stained with oil.
Naoki reminded with a serious expression: "After eating, remember to go to the faucet outside to wash your face and paws!" ”
The last time he went to clean up the dishes, he looked back to see that the sheets and the floor were covered in grease from the two of them.
"Hiss......"
"Quack......
So Leton and the motorcycle lizard nodded obediently in agreement.
They get it!
Soon, dinner time is over.
Naoki prepares to wash the dishes, so Lerton and Moto Lizard go outside to the faucet and wash their mouths and paws.
Seeing that they could take care of themselves, Naoki nodded with satisfaction, and turned to the kitchen to clean and clean.
Seeing the appearance of the two big guys, Mini Fu and Frost Milk Fairy glanced at each other, looking at each other's mouths and small hands.
"Mama!" Let's go wash and clean ourselves!
"Fleur......" Mini Fluff looked at Oldon and the motorcycle lizard with some fear.
Compared to it, the frost milk fairy is a little bolder.
Because after two days of getting along, it found that the two big Pokémon were not hostile to them.
This made the frost milk fairy, who was also a little scared, not so afraid.
It jumped out of the chair with Mini Fu and quietly moved to the door, only half of its head to look at Oldton and the Motorcycle Lizard.
As a result, Lerton has gone from a galloping form with all fours to a fighting form with his feet upright.
This kind of body is full of an incomparable wild aura, coupled with its height of nearly two meters and muscular physique, it brings a very terrifying sense of oppression.
It was holding its head high and looking fierce, its big paws clutching the faucet and spraying the paws of the lower motorcycle lizard on the side.
"Ma... Ma ...... "It's horrible......
Frost Milk Fairy hesitated.
Seeing it like this, the mini Fu on the side asked simply, "Fu?" "Didn't you just say you weren't afraid of that big guy?
"Ma!" Just! Not at all!
In order not to lose face in front of her companions, the frost milk fairy took a deep breath and mustered up the courage to take a step forward.
That's when Oldon discovered them.
It turned its head, its golden pupils narrowing slightly, staring at the little Frost Fairy and Mini Fu.
Frost Milk Fairy felt as if she had been locked into the world's most terrifying predator, and her tiny body was petrified in place.
Fortunately, it soon withdrew its gaze, and it cried out at them: "Ahh ”
"Fu?" Mini Fusse shuddered and asked, is it calling us?
"Ma... "It seems to be... What to do?
Frost Milk Fairy was also a little flustered.
Seeing their appearances, Loton was a little speechless.
It retracted its tone: "Ahh......h
Driving the moto lizards away, Loton grabs Frost Fairy and Mini Fu, and then takes the faucet and helps them water them.
After a long while, Mini Fu and Frost Fairy's stiff bodies relaxed from fear.
They realized in hindsight that this big creature didn't seem to hurt them except that it looked scary?
By the time Naoki came back after taking a shower, there was no trace of Frost Fairy and Mini Fu in the house.
He was puzzled, heard the sound of water outside, and when he went out of the door, he saw Gu Leton playing with them there.
The motorcycle lizard, on the other hand, stood stupidly and watched, and did not come forward.
It doesn't seem to like to be too fond of being near the Frost Milk Fairy.
"Is it because of attribute restraint?" Naoki pondered.
After all, the fairy attribute frost milk fairy is twice as restraining the dragon attribute motorcycle lizard.
However, Gu Leton, who is also a dragon attribute, does not seem to reject the frost milk fairy at all.
Probably because Leton is strong enough to ignore the effects of the Frost Milk Fairy's attributes, right? Naoki thought to himself.
Seeing him coming, several Pokémon also stopped.
Naoki went back to the house and took out a towel to dry the water from Frosty Milk and Mini Fu.
He asked curiously, "How do you feel?" ”
Frost Fairy's voice sounded very happy: "Ma! ”
Mini Fu also looked very happy: "Fu~"
Looks like they like it!
After drying their bodies, Naoki took them around the ranch and introduced them to the pasture.
So Loton and the motorcycle lizard followed.
At this time, the sky had not completely darkened, and a trace of the remnant sun remained in the sky, and the whole land was shrouded in a gentle twilight.
After a day of grazing, the hens returned to the chicken hutch, lay down on the haystack and began to close their eyes and rest.
Crops in the fields are growing well, the fastest-growing turnips have already grown several large leaves, and the fruits buried in the ground are probably beginning to take shape.
Naoki took a few Pokémon for a walk on the grass, and he pointed to the fence surrounding the pasture in the distance, and said to Frost Milk Fairy and Mini Fu:
"Where those fences are our ranches, it's safe and no bad guys are going to hurt you."
Mini Fu and Frost Milk Fairy looked around curiously.
Naoki said with a smile, "There are a lot of wild flowers blooming in this grass, and there are many butterflies flying around in the grass during the day. ”
The grass in this world grows vigorously, and with a little mowing, it becomes a neat lawn that looks very beautiful.
Because of this, Naoki only cut down the excess trees, and did not cut the grass with a scythe.
He was going to wait two days to get the stones in the utility room and lay a stone path in the pasture that connected the chicken hut to the wooden house.
Seeing the curious looks of Frost Milk Fairy and Mini Fu, Naoki said to them:
"Tomorrow at daylight, you can come and have a look, there are a lot of butterflies and flowers."
"Fu~"
"Ma!"
The two Pokémon began to look forward to it.
After Naoki's introduction, they got a first impression of the ranch – a safe place is a fenced area.
I am not so afraid of the world outside.
After walking around the pasture, the last rays of the sky disappeared, and it was not until the sun was no longer visible that Naoki stopped the walk.
He returned to the house with a few Pokémon.
Frost Fairy went to the cupboard, and Mini Fu returned to the flower pot, sitting on the edge of the place, shaking her little feet and yawning, looking sleepy.
"Go to sleep!" Naoki said with a smile.
"Fu~"
Mini Fu answered, lay on her back in the flower pot, lay on the soft dirt and closed her eyes in peace, and soon began to snore.
Naoki turned to look at Soleton and the motorcycle lizard beside the bed, then sat down on the bed and packed up.
Tomorrow morning he was going to leave for the cauldron lake, and because he didn't know if he would be able to get back in time for noon, Naoki planned to make a few nutritionally balanced sandwiches and tree juice for the motorcycle lizards.
This time, in addition to finding a new fishing spot, Naoki also plans to hire a water-type Pokémon who can use water guns and pray for rain to come back to work.
At the same time, you have to bring some food with you, because collecting Pokémon is a technical job.
Based on years of experience watching anime, if you want to subdue a wild Pokémon, in addition to fighting, you can also use food abduction, emotional involvement, and the like.
After all, orcs will never be slaves, unless they are fed and sheltered.
Pokémon are simpler than orcs, except for Pokémon that can only be subdued through combat, most of them just give it a little food and it will go with you.
Therefore, Naoki made a few more dishes with both color and flavor, and the suitable objects of the dishes included Pokémon who like to eat tree fruits, like meat, and have a sweet, spicy, and sour taste.
These dishes also need to be easy to carry and store.
After working overtime to finish them, Naoki packed them into his backpack, and when he unzipped them, he suddenly saw a few Poké Balls on the bottom floor.
Looking at them, Naoki suddenly remembered something.
Dr. Orin didn't give him the Poké Ball from Oldton!
No, to be precise, Lotton's Poké Balls have been destroyed by it!
Naoki's mind conjured up the image of Oldon using a dragon's claws to fly Poké Balls.
So the question is, after the Poké Ball is destroyed, does the mark it gave to the Pokémon still exist?
After a moment of contemplation, Naoki picked up a Poké Ball and used it on Soleton.
But a few seconds passed, and nothing happened to the Poké Ball.
"It seems that the imprint is still there." Naoki thought to himself.
He tossed the Poké Ball into his backpack, and just as he had just closed the zipper, he suddenly remembered something.
He reopened his backpack and casually took out a red and white ball from it and brought it to the motorcycle lizard.
"Quack?"
The motosaurus quickly recognized the Poké Ball, and it realized that its owner was finally trying to subdue him.
With a happy expression on its face, the motorcycle lizard took the initiative to put its head up, and the moment it touched the center button of the Poké Ball, its body turned into a red light and was taken in.
Then, after a slight shake twice, it fell silent.
This means that the acceptance is successful.
"Is this what it's like to take a Pokémon?"
Naoki held the Poké Ball in his hand and weighed it, holding it weakly and making a throwing motion.
That's how he watched the trainers in the anime throw Poké Balls.
However, because he was worried that the Poké Ball would hit the wall and be damaged, Naoki didn't really throw it, but took it in his hand and pressed the button.
Immediately after, the Poké Ball automatically opened, and a beam of light shot out of it, revealing the figure of a motorcycle lizard on the wooden floor.
"How does it feel?" Naoki asked.
The motorcycle lizard looked excited: "Quack! ”
Judging by its reaction, it doesn't seem to feel good to get into the Poké Ball.
It's just that in Naoki's opinion, there are good and bad points between Poké Balls.
Ordinary red and white balls are the most basic Poké Balls, and further up, there are also Premium Balls, Super Balls, Deluxe Balls, and so on.
The further you go, the better the Poké Ball's performance and living environment will be.
The Deluxe Ball, which can make Pokémon feel luxurious and comfortable, has been certified by Meow Meow, one of the trio of Team Rocket.
Forget it, just do it now, and when he makes a lot of money in the future, he will exchange the motorcycle lizard for a luxury ball to live in.
As for now, it's not too early, it's time to go to bed!
Naoki stretched, took off his clothes, and threw himself on the bed.
He didn't notice the way he looked at the Poké Ball.
"Hiss?"
