The next morning, after the work in the ranch was over, Naoki was ready to go to the back mountain to see if he could pick up some mountain goods.

Most of the Pokémon in the ranch have their own things to do.

Therefore, Loton is teaching the motorcycle lizard moves, riding the goat is taking care of the crops, the three bees are collecting honey, the fast dragon is going to the town to deliver milk, and the cloth is taking care of the chickens......

So when he went out this time, Naoki specially called the big butterfly, who was more familiar with the back mountain, to accompany him.

Before leaving, he instructed the motorcycle lizard: "I'll go out for a trip, remember to study hard with Gu Leton, did you learn the dragon fluctuation last time?" ”

"Quack~"

The motorcycle lizard nodded, then ran over and hugged Naoki affectionately.

Since yesterday's incident, it found that Naoki would not get angry or scold him, and it slowly grew bolder.

Seeing this, Naoki was a little helpless.

He touched the head of the motorcycle lizard and said, "Dragon Wave has learned, then you can learn the next move." ”

As he spoke, Naoki turned his head to look at Gu Leton, and when he saw that it was full of envy, he also stepped forward and hugged it.

So Le Dun was satisfied.

Naoki didn't forget to add: "There is one more thing, and that is not to teach the motorcycle lizard to use the Dragon Star Group for the time being. ”

"Ahh

Naoki looked at it, then at the motorcycle lizard, and explained, "Because the power and coverage of that move are too great, if you are not careful, you will destroy the ranch." ”

Hearing this, the two Pokémon expressed their understanding.

Seeing this, Naoki smiled: "Then I'll go first!" ”

As he spoke, he carried a rattan whip back basket with some food used to abduct Pokémon, and said to Ba Da Butterfly beside him, "Let's go!" ”

"Babble~"

It's summer, and the trees in the back mountains grow taller and deeper.

The dark green dense trees obscured the sun in the sky, casting dappled lights and shadows on the ground, and the noisy chirping of insects came from afar, accompanied by the occasional loud chirping of cicadas.

All these things prove this, this is a lively mountain forest.

As soon as he stepped in, Naoki saw a lot of familiar Pokémon.

Common green caterpillars, clumbos hanging upside down in trees, and bean crickets hiding in the grass.

Naoki doesn't have much interest in them, and since these bug-type Pokémon are small in size, they don't actively attack humans.

There are also many treasures hidden in the mountains and forests in summer.

He hadn't gone long when Naoki spotted a bunch of wild ginger in a patch of grass.

Naoki has known about this kind of mountain goods, but not much, only that it can be used to make soup.

"Just when you go back, you can go to the town and buy a casserole and come back to make soup."

Thinking about it, Naoki uprooted the string of wild ginger and put it in the back basket.

Ba Da Butterfly on the side looked at this scene curiously: "Babble? ”

Naoki explained to it the purpose of this mountain product, and then asked with a smile, "Ba Da Butterfly, do you know if there are any other places near that can be eaten?" ”

Ba Da Butterfly blinked, thought about it carefully, and then nodded again and again: "Babble! ”

Huh? Do you really know?

Ba Da Butterfly led the way in front, and Naoki hurriedly followed.

After passing through a dense thicket, they came to a large tree.

Sure enough, there were many green looking fruits hanging from the big tree.

Ba Da Butterfly gently plucked one from it and put it in Naoki's palm.

At first, Naoki didn't see it, but soon, he realized what it was.

Not yet ripe mountain almonds!

"Babble~" Ba Da Butterfly said that some Pokémon will come over to eat this when they can't find food.

Naoki didn't understand, but he nodded anyway and shook his head again: "No, this can't be eaten yet, it's not ripe yet." ”

"Babble?"

Naoki thought for a moment, "It will probably take a month or two to grow!" This thing is also delicious, and the almonds inside have a crisp taste and are a very nutritious fruit. ”

"Babble!"

Bada Butterfly was already drooling.

Naoki smiled, "I'll bring you over when I'm ripe." ”

Ba Da Butterfly nodded repeatedly.

Naoki asked again, "Besides these, what else did you eat when you used to live in the wild?" ”

"Babble......"

Ba Da Butterfly thought about it carefully.

When it was a green caterpillar, most of the food it ate was tree leaves, and occasionally with a bit of luck, it was able to pick up a tree fruit.

Most of the time, they hide in dense trees and grass to hide from predator birds Pokémon.

Although the opportunities are rare, they have also seen quite a few other Pokémon eating habits.

Ba Da Butterfly sniffed in the air, and then continued to move forward in this mountain forest with Naoki.

In a few moments, they arrived at the foot of an old towering tree.

Naoki looked through the trunk of the tree and saw a nest of wild three bees in front of him.

Three bees continue to fly out of their nests to collect honey, while their leader, Queen Bee, patrols the area and guards the honey that the three bees have worked so hard to make.

"Wild honey...... Naoki was a little surprised, and he asked in a low voice, "Did you come here to steal honey before?" ”

Ba Da Butterfly shook his head and said in the same low voice: "Babble! ”

It didn't dare to come!

These three bees are fierce, and the queen bee is also terrifying, not at all as friendly as the three bees in the pasture.

However, there will be other Pokémon that will come over, such as the Circle Bear and the Baby Bear, and the Gentleman Moth will also come to steal honey at night while the three bees are asleep.

"Forget it, there is honey in the pasture, so I won't bother these three bees." Naoki Road.

Ba Da Butterfly had no opinion, one person and one Pokémon came quietly, and quietly left, and continued to look for mountain goods that could be used in this place.

And at the same time, the table is in the city.

As the largest city in the Padia region, the famous Padian College is located in this place.

Contrary to Naoki's thoughts, the Orange Academy is only a branch of the Padian Academy, which, together with the Grape Academy, forms the Padia Academy.

The two colleges have different names, different uniforms, and different teaching methods.

People who come here to study can choose the college of their choice according to their preferences.

Today is the midterm exam day at Pardea Academy.

In addition to the basic written exams, the Padia Academy also held a Pokémon battle tournament between the Orange Academy and the Grape Academy.

In addition to receiving an A rating on the grade bar, the final winning student will also be able to receive a treasure hunt scholarship from the college.

That's a lot of money, and because of that, it attracts a lot of students to sign up for the competition.

On the ground of the open-air battle in the center of the table, a tense Pokémon battle is underway.

Students dressed in orange academy uniforms and grape academy uniforms will be surrounded by the battlefield.

They shouted enthusiastically as they chatted with their companions about the two trainers of the battle.

"Hey, Courier Bird vs. Scorching Crocodile, guess who's going to win this battle!"

"Of course it's a hot crocodile! The fire attribute can restrain the ice-type messenger bird! ”

"Besides, that messenger bird's trainer is very famous among us at the Orange Academy!"

"Oh? Tell me, what's going on?! ”

"His name is Carter, it is said that he is a young master from a big family in Glass Bottle City, he has been pampered since he was a child, and he can't train Pokémon at all, and his messenger bird is notoriously weak, and even ordinary new leaf meow can defeat him against his attributes."

"I heard that not long ago, the little young master made up his mind to be angry and strong, and took the messenger bird to do push-ups and runs in the playground every day, but he was tired and stopped eating within a week, and made a lot of jokes."

On the battlefield, Carter listened to what others said about him.

But soon, his mind came back to what had happened two days earlier.

In that pasture, under the sparring of three mounted goats worthy of the strength of the Heavenly King, his messenger bird had gained a lot of experience from it, and now it had already been reborn! He even comprehended more powerful moves.

So, they won't lose!

It seemed that he felt the trainer's mood, and responded loudly to the messenger bird on the battlefield.

"Bibi!"

At this time, the referee waved the flag in his hand and announced: "The battle begins!" ”

"Messenger Bird, pray for rain!"

Carter immediately gave the order.

Pray for rain is a move that reduces the power of fire-type Pokémon moves, and can bring good results when facing hot crocodiles.

The trainer on the other side didn't give an immediate order, but looked up at the scene with the scorching crocodile.

"Pray for rain? Just let you make a move, otherwise some people will say that I am relying on attribute restraint to defeat you. ”

"No, you don't!" Carter was annoyed by the other party's low look, and at this time, it began to rain in the sky.

The scorching crocodile trainer is finally starting to get serious: "Use the spark attack!" ”

The order was given, and the scorching crocodile ran two steps forward, and a string of hot sparks erupted from its mouth, reaching the messenger bird in mid-air.

"Use the shadow clone after avoiding it!" Carter reacted quickly.

The messenger bird flapped its wings and leaned down in the rain, and the string of sparks passed by it, and then, as soon as the messenger bird's body moved, several doppelgangers appeared in the rain.

"Shadow clones? When did he learn?! The surrounding crowd was stunned, this move was difficult to comprehend!

Carter's ears were sharp, and he keenly captured people's voices, and a smile of excitement appeared on his face, and he said in his heart: Of course, it is thanks to Mr. Naoki!

During the Grass Trial, the mount goat's frantic attacks forced out the courier bird's potential, allowing it to comprehend the shadow clone in order to dodge the attack.

And that's not all!

Thinking of this, Carter said loudly: "Use that trick!" ”

The scorching crocodile trainer also gave an order: "Don't think I can't crack the shadow clone, scorching crocodile, use hot air!" ”

On the field, two Pokémon moved at the same time.

The scorching crocodile took a heavy step forward, and a fire gushed out of its throat, turning into a hot wind and sweeping towards the messenger bird.

The messenger bird was unhurried, and its form first flew forward, and then rushed up against the hot wind.

"What is it doing?! Don't want to die?! ”

The crowd of onlookers was shocked.

But just as the messenger bird was about to be swallowed by the hot wind, its body suddenly reversed direction in an exaggerated posture, and then rushed straight into the sky.

As the messenger bird played with the hot wind, white light appeared on its wings, turning into a winged blade, and it rushed forward with agility to cut off the scorching crocodile.

The scorching crocodile's form fell backwards.

Everyone held their breath and watched in disbelief.

Someone soon recognized the name of the move.

"It's Yan Hui!"

Carter only felt a burst of refreshment in his heart, he stretched out his hand to the hot crocodile, and said loudly:

"Compared to Mr. Naoki, you guys are far behind! Messenger Bird, use Throw! ”

The young man on the opposite side was a little panicked after all, and he hurriedly said: "Hot crocodile, avoid!" ”

But it's too late.

The messenger bird had come up behind the Alligator, clinging to it with its wings and throwing it into the sky with all its might.

"Oh!"

Everyone exclaimed, and their eyes followed the scorching crocodile into the air.

The messenger bird followed, reaching the scorching crocodile at a faster speed.

"Now, use the Split!"

"Bibi!"

The messenger bird raised its wings and swung its hand knife down, smashing the scorching crocodile directly and slamming it to the ground.

The dust has settled.

The scorching crocodile was lying in the pit, its eyes turned into mosquito coils in circles, and it had lost its ability to fight.

The referee stepped forward to inspect it, and then announced:

"The scorching crocodile has lost its ability to fight! The battle was won by Carter, a first-year freshman at Orange Academy! ”

"How, how is it possible?!"

"Carter and his messenger bird have won!"

"And it defeated the scorching crocodile against the attributes!"

"Am I dazzled?!"

"How did you do that?"

People surrounded Carter, shocked by his growth.

Carter was quite proud to enjoy everyone's gaze, and he snorted in his heart, wanting you to say that I am a useless young master!

He didn't want to tell these pesky guys how he and the messenger birds grew.

But then, Carter's mind thought of the grass trials of Naoki Ranch, and of the three mount goats whose strength was terrifying and killed his messenger birds in infinite seconds.

His eyes rolled, and an evil thought came to his heart, and with the thought that he could not let himself suffer alone, Carter cleared his throat and pretended to be profound:

"It all starts with getting lost."

Then, he looked up and swept around the crowd and asked, "Have you heard of the Grass Trial?" ”

"Grass Trial?" People shook their heads: "What's that?" Tell us about it! ”

The corners of Carter's mouth went up, and a mysterious smile appeared on his face:

"It was a trial that could help Pokémon practice, and the Courier Bird and I were able to win because we participated in that trial."

As he spoke, he paused and asked, "Do you know how long it took us?" ”

The curiosity of the people was seduced by him, and he followed his words and asked, "How long?" ”

Carter held out a finger: "One and a half days!" In just a day and a half, the messenger bird and I were completely transformed! ”

"A day and a half?" Everyone was shocked: "How is it possible? Changing a Pokémon so much in such a short period of time is not necessarily something that even the top trainers and breeders can't do, right? ”

"That's because the founder of the Grass Trial is not an ordinary person." Carter deliberately sold a pass: "If you want to know, you can go and see for yourself!" The address is at Zhishu Ranch near the town of Zhiqin. ”

As he spoke, Carter prayed silently in his heart:

Mr. Naoki, mount goat, must teach this group of hateful fellows a hard lesson, and must not let me suffer alone!

There are still in the early hours of the morning
