At night, Naoki takes a group of Pokémon to camp under the stars.

In summer, although the weather is hot during the day, the night is very cool, the stars blink in the sky, and unknown insects can be heard from the depths of the grass.

Naoki leaned on his arms and looked at the sky, a group of Pokémon lying around him, and several mini-dragons curled up on his stomach.

They are dozing sleepily, probably tired from playing, and not at all as naughty and lively as they are during the day.

"You know what?" Looking at the starry sky overhead, Naoki slowly recounted the rumors he had learned: "It is said that those stars also have Pokémon living on them, they are called Pipsqueak, and they came to our planet in a spaceship a long time ago. ”

The dragon was very interested, and the rest of the Pokémon were not interested in these things, but they still looked at it very face-saving.

Motorcycle: "Quack? ”

Kuailong: "Huh? ”

"I don't know if it's true, but I've heard." Naoki said, "But I can be sure that in addition to Pippi, there are other powerful Pokémon inhabiting the universe. ”

For example, Deocchis.

Kuailong immediately asked with great interest, "Huh? ”

Naoki ate a handful of peeled melon seeds.

Kuailong repeated: "Huh? (Can I see that?) ）

Naoki thought for a moment and said, "Maybe! ”

It is still early, science and technology are not yet developed, and the pace of human exploration of the universe should have just begun.

Just like the Green Ridge Universe Center in Green Ridge City, Hoenn Region, it is the starting point for human exploration of the universe.

The dragon began to look forward to it.

The Bu Tu Pao on the side was very shocked by the human ability, and exploring the vast universe was simply unimaginable for it to live in the wilderness all the time.

"Ba Mo ......," its tone did not hide at all.

Naoki smiled, "Don't underestimate humans! ”

Seeing that the Pokémon looked over again, Naoki could only continue:

"They can't perform moves like Pokémon, but they have smart brains and agile hands, and they can build all kinds of magical machines."

"There are even many Pokémon that have been planted in the hands of humans, such as Lokia, the god of the sea, who is in charge of ocean currents and monsoons, and Thunder Gong, who is known as the embodiment of thunder......"

Naoki thought of Mewtwo again: "Not only that, but humans are also able to use some technology to create legendary Pokémon that are extremely powerful. ”

"Babble?" Ba Da Butterfly hurriedly asked about it.

"It?" Naoki said, "It's called Mewtwo." ”

*

Late at night, the insects in the depths of the grass stopped chirping, and all that remained in the pasture was the gentle evening breeze and the white moonlight.

On the other side of the river, the eyes of the six ducks were drawn to the farmland opposite.

Smelling the tempting aroma of melons and fruits, the ducks drooled greedily.

The scent seemed to condense in the air, turning into a pair of large white hands, constantly hooking their fingers.

Finally, a duck couldn't help it.

It jumped into the water and crossed the river to the other side, and the rest of the ducks tilted their heads in confusion at first, and then followed in a similar way.

They came to the farmland lightly, and a duck found a watermelon, which tilted its head as it looked at the watermelon in front of it, and then slammed its head upwards.

Suddenly, the ripe and plump watermelon was split in two, and the duck happily buried his face in it and began to feast.

The rest of the ducks did not let go too much, some broke the corn, some fought with the pineapple, and some were lost in the vast sunflower fields, unable to get out, and let out a miserable cry from their mouths.

Naoki and the Pokémon around him were awakened by the sound that pierced the night sky.

He snapped his eyes open, got up and went to check on the situation.

But when he saw everything in front of him, he didn't know what to say for a while.

Moonlit nights, melon fields, melon thieves......

Shouldn't he take a hedgehog's fork as a sign of respect?

Seeing that he was discovered, Da Duck, who was feasting, immediately ran around in a panic with his head in his arms, and trampled on a lot of flowers and crops during the process.

Naoki raised his eyebrows, waved his big hand, and the Pokémon around him took action.

After a while, several thieves who broke into the farmland and stole food were all caught.

Looking at the six ducks standing in a row in front of him, with their heads in their hands and their expressions slightly dumbfounded, Naoki began to wonder if they could understand him.

After thinking for a long time, he asked expressionlessly, "What are you doing?" ”

"Quack, quack, quack!"

He didn't ask, but as soon as he opened his mouth, the ducks seemed to be frightened in some way, and they spun in circles in a panic.

During this time, one of the ducks collided with the other.

The duck turned around and looked at his companion with some confusion.

The two ducks tilted their heads and looked at each other for a moment, and then Naoki saw one of them stretch out his hand and slap him.

The other imitated its movements and hit back, accompanied by two crisp sounds, the two ducks tilted their heads at the same time, looking at each other with some confusion, as if they had forgotten what had happened in the last second.

Naoki: "......"

This can't be a bunch of fools, right?

However, he thought of the information about this kind of Pokémon, and felt that it was understandable.

Because from time to time, the duck's head will produce their inability to control their mental power, and this force will cause them to have headaches and tears, and they will be plagued by headaches all the time.

The more intense the headache, the stronger that force becomes, and when it can't bear it, it will explode into mental power.

At this time, the headache that plagues them seems to be temporarily relieved, but perhaps the brain is affected by the telekinesis, and the memory of the time will not remain.

These things have also become a problem that has plagued the Pokémon academic community for many years.

Because of the headache caused by the use of telekinesis, Da Duck usually tries not to do anything, just spend it in a daze, and with that stupid face, it seems that they are not very smart and stupid.

What should he do in the face of such a Pokémon?

Neither is it a lesson, nor is it not a lesson.

After pondering for a moment, Naoki let Soleton grab them and send them all to the other side of the river one by one.

So Lerton obediently did so, while Naoki went to the farmland, plucked the crops destroyed by the ducks, and gave them to Oldton to give them directly to eat.

In this regard, the ducks were naturally grateful, sitting on the other side of the river and holding the watermelon and eating it bitterly.

*

The next morning, all the crops in the field were ripe.

After milking the mounted goat, Naoki put on a straw hat and began to harvest the crops under the great sun.

The last time he cultivated him, he cleared a large field again, and now that all the crops in the field were ripe, he and the old Loton motorcycle lizard had a feeling that they couldn't keep up.

At this moment, Naoki suddenly noticed the group of ducks on the other side of the river.

A bold idea popped into his mind.

If...... What about hiring ducks to help harvest the crops?

Just like he hired gophers before.

All he needed to do was provide some food to the duck.

There are so many crops growing in the field that a few ducks can't eat them all.

The more Naoki thought about it, the more he thought it was a good idea, so he called out to Old Loton and whispered around it.

After listening to this, there was no too surprised expression on his face.

It nodded, then walked straight to the river and began to communicate with the ducks.

Naoki didn't know what they were talking about, but after a while, he saw the ducks cross the river and follow him to this side.

Naoki's heart moved, looking at the stupid ducks in front of him, observing their state, and seeing that they didn't look like they were troubled by headaches, he asked, "Do you understand?" ”

"Quack!"

So Lerton commanded: "Ahh ”

Suddenly, the ducks moved.

They poured into the field, and after a while, they came out with all kinds of melons and fruits in their arms, and then piled those fruits and vegetables on the grass.

Seeing that they were doing their jobs, Naoki raised his eyebrows in surprise.

Learned so fast?!

He thought it was a good thing, but soon problems arose.

When a duck was carrying a large watermelon, because of his lack of strength, he planned to use his mental power to carry the melon.

But as soon as the light in its eyes lit up, Da Duck felt a sharp pain in his brain, as if his brain was being clenched.

"Quack!"

It screamed and sat down on the ground, holding its head tightly with both hands, and even a few drops of sweat flowed from its forehead.

Seeing this scene, Naoki was taken aback and hurriedly stepped forward to check on the situation of this duck.

"It should be the brain that is stimulated when you use your mental power."

After a short period of contemplation, Naoki said to the motorcycle lizard beside him, "Help me take care of these ducks, don't let them use their telekinesis." ”

With that, Naoki rode to Gu Leton, went to the Pokémon Center in Zoqin Town as fast as he could, and bought a box of special medicine for duck headaches from Miss Joy.

After coming back and feeding the duck, the duck returned to its stupid appearance again.

Naoki: "......"

He suddenly regretted the decision he had made.

The work didn't help, and he even posted the money for a few bottles of special medicine himself.

Pursing his lips, Naoki let out a sigh, he waved his hand, and said to the group of ducks, "Forget it, you better go back and rest!" These six watermelons are considered to be given to you by me. ”

As he spoke, he called out to Kuailong: "Kuailong, come and help me deliver the watermelon to the other side of the river!" ”

Kuailong immediately carried the watermelon to the other side of the river.

The ducks tilted their heads, their eyes attracted by the dragon holding the watermelon, and then they all ran towards the other side of the river.

"It's still a gopher!" Naoki said with emotion.

Hearing this, the hackdragons and mini-dragons that had smuggled over from Kuailong Island flew over.

"Whew!"

Naoki: "...... You guys are good, but remember, don't go into the gopher hole again, and then you will get stuck in it and you won't be able to get out. ”

Thinking of the mess he had done, the mini dragon was ashamed and indignant, and turned around and ignored people.

Kuailong happily watched this scene.

It wished that the mini-dragons and hack dragons would hurry back to Kuailong Island.

Therefore, seeing the appearance of the mini dragon, Kuailong hurriedly ran forward and asked, "Huh? ”

If you want to go back to Kualong Island, it can help!

The mini-dragon peeked at Naoki and said loudly, "Woo! ”

It's saying, "I'm angry! I'm going home! ”

However, it's a pity that Naoki didn't eat much translated melon seeds in the past two days because of the fire, and he couldn't understand the words of the mini dragon.

Seeing that Naoki didn't react, and was still there with Gu Leton and the motorcycle lizard to work, the mini dragon suddenly looked aggrieved, and it seemed that he was going to cry in the next second.

Kuailong secretly said that it was not good.

Sure enough, in the next second, it saw the mini dragon flying towards Naoki and flying in front of him, its big eyes misty with water.

"What's wrong?" Naoki was a little surprised.

The mini-dragon did not speak, but flew to his shoulders and wrapped its immature body around his neck like a scarf.

Naoki was adored by the mini-dragon's movements, and he mua kissed the mini-dragon's big white nose.

Seeing this, several Pokémon next to them were shocked and envious.

Looking at the old Leton, the motorcycle lizard, and the fast dragon with envious expressions, Naoki's heart jumped, and he quickly changed the topic: "Work and work!" After a while, you won't be able to get busy! ”

Just kidding, he can't go out and kiss a big Pokémon.

Raising Pokémon is like raising a baby, you can kiss when the baby is young, and when the baby grows up, you can't talk about it at all.

Although the motorcycle lizard is not yet a year old, it has grown to a point where it is impossible to ignore.

Whose old father will kiss a one-meter-seven-tall baby?

Fortunately, the work in the field was really busy, and after being lost for a while, everyone threw themselves into their work.

So Lotton, Motorlizard, and Kuailong stacked the crops on the grass, while Naoki carried the basket on his back and began to pick hops.

He didn't plan to sell the hops, but was going to store them for the sake of brewing.

There are a lot of hops, and the number of this round is enough to brew two rounds of wine.

You can pick hops about twice in a summer, just enough to leave for autumn and winter.

In addition, wheat that was previously planted for malting can also be harvested.

Naoki plans to harvest wheat after picking hops, and as for crops such as corn, pineapples, watermelons, and pumpkins, he gives them all to the Pokémon in the ranch.

At harvest time, Naoki kept an eye on the crops around him, wanting to see if there were any mutations.

Unfortunately, this batch of crops seems to have only two variations: pumpkins and glowing pineapples.

In addition to regrets, Naoki felt that with that probability, it would be good to have two.

So, when Dr. Orin arrives at the ranch with Paipa, he sees the old Loton doing farm work, which is regarded as a treasure by the institute.

Dr. Orin looked at her face in disbelief as if she had seen something shocking.

I had only heard Naoki say that Lerton had a very docile temperament, but I never thought that this Celestial Tone would have such a docile temperament.

In Dr. Orin's impression, Le Dun, a Pokémon from ancient times, has always been unruly, fierce, domineering, and possessive.

And now, it's actually helping Naoki with farm work!

Dr. Orin was momentarily speechless.

And looking at the skillful appearance of Gu Leton, it is obvious that he has worked a lot during this time of living on the ranch......

Because I've been really busy these two days, I've been working overtime since the National Day...... Every night at 7 o'clock to get off work, when you get home to eat, wash your feet, you have to hurry to bed to code, the time is not enough, the day before yesterday, the two more owed first, I'm very sorry
