Listening to Pokémon chats is a very interesting thing.

From their small talk, there is a wide variety of information and intelligence.

Like where there is a fire in the town, where what kind of Pokémon appears, and what Pokémon gets lost, or a certain Pokémon has a duel with other Pokémon for love.

Naoki doesn't interject when listening to their small talk, just sits quietly behind the bar and reads.

Instead, his Pokémon occasionally join the chat, asking other questions about Monster Power and Carnival Dancing Duck.

With the departure of the carnival wave dancing ducks and strange forces, the sky outside has completely darkened.

Naoki glanced at the time, and it was already nine and fifteen in the evening.

He glanced out the window, and it seemed that there shouldn't be any other guests visiting today.

Thinking about it, Naoki was about to close the door and rest, but at this moment, there was a sudden sound of a whistling sound outside the door, and the sound of a motorcycle engine starting.

Naoki was a little surprised.

Are there still guests coming at such a late hour?

When he went out to check, he saw Miss Junsha in a police uniform chasing a catty dog on a three-wheeled motorcycle.

The catty dog ran excitedly in front, and it barked as it ran.

"Katy, where are you going?"

Miss Junsha, who was chasing behind, was full of worry.

Just after their patrol was over and they were about to get off work, the cutty dog, who was a good partner of the police station, ran out as if he had taken a stimulant.

At that time, a group of police officers in the police station were all stunned.

Only Miss Junsha reacted relatively quickly, and hurriedly rode a motorcycle to chase after her.

In the middle, the cutty dog ran and stopped, seemingly waiting for her on purpose.

Seeing this scene, Miss Junsha was even more puzzled.

What is it that attracts the catty dog?

After a little thought, Miss Junsha decided to come over with Katy Dog.

They crossed the country roads shrouded in night and finally arrived at a brightly lit pasture.

Miss Junsha blinked, her gaze on the man standing in front of a wooden house.

And the catty dog stayed in front of the man and barked twice at the other party.

Miss Junsha turned off the motorcycle and got out of the car to look at this scene in bewilderment.

She frowned, a serious look on her face.

Could it be that this person is a bad guy who deliberately used some means to attract other people's Pokémon and then stole them?

Out of professional instinct, Miss Junsha subconsciously put her hands on the handcuffs around her waist, ready to subdue the other party as soon as there was a situation.

"Who?" Miss Junsha said solemnly.

Naoki: "......"

Naoki noticed Miss Junsha's actions with sharp eyes, he pulled the corners of his mouth, and said speechlessly:

"Don't worry about Miss Junsha, I'm Naoki from Naoki Ranch, and this cutty dog of yours should have heard the news of the tavern opening from other Pokémon, so he came here."

Miss Junsha was slightly startled, she glanced at the young man through the night, and then withdrew her hand on the handcuffs.

"Naoki Ranch...... I've heard the name in town. ”

Naoki smiled, lowered his head and asked, "Katy Dog, are you here to patronize the tavern?" ”

The catty dog wagged his tail excitedly and nodded again and again: "Wang! ”

"Then come in!"

Naoki felt that this catty dog was quite close to people, so he couldn't help but reach out and rub the dog's head, and then welcomed one person and one dog into the tavern.

In the tavern, hackdragons, mini-dragons, and butu paddles were still muttering and chatting in the warm light.

As soon as they entered, the catty dog's eyes were drawn to them.

It looked even more excited.

"Wow!" There really are taverns dedicated to Pokémon!

The catty dog didn't care to order, so he happily ran to Butupai and greeted them.

Miss Junsha walked into the tavern and looked at the scene, her face was quite helpless: "This kid is too playful. ”

Naoki grinned.

Miss Junsha never thought that there was a tavern opening here.

But since she has come, then she will take a good rest here and drink a glass of wine to relieve today's fatigue.

But just as she was about to order, she didn't find the wine list.

Seeing Miss Junsha's puzzled expression, Naoki turned around and took a white milk bucket and two transparent glasses from the shelf.

He poured the watermelon juice from the milk bucket into the cup, added a few ice cubes, and pushed the iced watermelon juice in front of Miss Junsha.

"Our tavern is dedicated to Pokémon, but now that it has just opened, this juice is for you." Naoki Road.

Hearing this, Miss Junsha's face was full of surprise: "Specialized...... Serving Pokémon? ”

"As you can see."

Miss Junsha turned her head to look over there, and she finally realized that something was wrong!

This tavern is full of Pokémon, not a single human!

"Yes...... But ...... "Miss Junsha felt very incredible.

"It's my part-time job!" Naoki smiled and put the milk bucket on the wine shelf, "I love Pokémon, so I opened this tavern so that I can meet more Pokémon and see them stay here, I feel relaxed." ”

"It's incredible!" Miss Junsha muttered.

She looked at the chilled watermelon juice in front of her and thanked her politely.

Naoki shook his head, indicating that it was nothing.

He motioned for Miss Junsha to go and sit down at the table over there and rest for a while.

Miss Junsha thought about it, and walked to the table with two glasses of watermelon juice.

She called for the catty dog, which had no way to sit on the chair and could only squat on the ground due to the catty dog's anatomy.

But for the catty dog, it's enough.

Its big head, just above the height of the table, lowered its head and took a straw in its mouth, and began to drink watermelon juice, peeking at the group of Pokémon next to it as it sipped.

It's so lively! Carty thought to herself, it's fun here.

Miss Junsha observed the layout of the tavern.

Inside, you'll find a bar with a wine rack on the wall, a closet next to it, and a refrigerator on the other.

The tavern is lit in orange and a red carpet is laid out on the floor at the entrance, which makes the place look more warm and lively, and the atmosphere is perfect.

On the wall on the left, there are stick figures and photographs that look like children's drawings.

Miss Junsha's eyes were drawn to the photo.

She couldn't help but stand up and walk to the photo wall.

The photo shows a very beautiful cliff with lush grass and trees growing on it, a spectacular waterfall cascading down, forming rivers in the dense forest of mountains below, like the blood vessels of that field, and you can even feel the mountains and forests breathing with the naked eye.

And on the grass, there is a large group of Pokémon.

There are those she knows, and there are those she doesn't.

Baby bears, meows, catty dogs......

Like a pink kitten, a small Pokémon with blue eyes.

A humanoid Pokémon with a large tail and a pink fluff and a nonchalant expression on its face, it doesn't seem to want to take this picture.

Except for this Pokémon, all the other Pokémon seem to be happy.

Miss Junsha couldn't help but ask, "The Pokémon here are also guests of the tavern?" ”

Naoki looked up and saw Miss Junsha standing in front of the photo wall.

He shook his head: "No, that picture...... It was sent back by a friend of mine who was traveling outside. ”

"Oh." Miss Junsha understood, and she sighed, "I've never seen these two Pokémon...... Sure enough, there are still many Pokémon in this world that have not been discovered by humans! ”

"yes!" Naoki smiled and didn't say much.

Soon, Cutty Dog drank up the glass of chilled watermelon juice.

Miss Junsha paid, and as it was not too early, she took the catty dog out of the tavern and prepared to go home to rest.

The cutty dog didn't want to leave yet, and seeing its reluctant expression, Naoki smiled and waved to it: "Come back tomorrow!" My tavern is open every day except weekends. ”

"Wow!"

Kati's eyes lit up, and then he was satisfied and followed Junsha away.

On the way, it didn't forget to turn around and bark twice.

Naoki heard it and said, "I'll be here tomorrow!" ”

Seeing the figures of a man and a dog disappear into the darkness, Naoki couldn't help but stretch out relaxedly, and then said to the Pokémon around him:

"It's time for us to go back to sleep!"

"Tbu Tt�

Ice Eevee smiled at Naoki in a happy mood, then said goodbye to him, turned and ran back to his igloo.

The three large milk cans yawned, and before returning to the Pokémon hut to sleep, they each held a cup of goat's milk from the mounted goat.

The mini-dragon and the hack dragon also felt sleepy.

They were so sleepy that they couldn't open their eyes, but they managed to run up to Naoki and rubbed his cheek.

Then he returned to his moon lake with satisfaction, and fell asleep in the moon reflected on the lake.

Seeing this scene, Kuailong stomped his feet angrily, scolded a few words about the little dragons who robbed him of the trainer, and then hugged Naoki.

Naoki: "......"

He helplessly patted Kuailong's fat belly: "Okay, you go to sleep too!" ”

The fast dragon looked down, it blinked, and then followed the example of the mini-dragon and the hack dragon, and rubbed Naoki's face affectionately with its big fat face.

Naoki: "......"

"Whew~"

Kuailong was happy, and under the dangerous gaze of Gu Letun on the side, Fei also turned and slipped away.

"Ahh......h

It turned its head to look at Naoki, who had been rubbed against his cheek and looked loveless.

Naoki was keenly aware of Gu Leton's gaze, thinking that it also wanted to rub his cheeks, so he simply stopped struggling: "Come on!" ”

He ran forward and rubbed his cheeks against the remaining Pokémon one by one.

So Lerton's eyes widened: "Ahhh ”

The motorcycle lizard couldn't believe it: "Quack?!" ”

Bu Tu Pi skillfully flew into Naoki's arms and began to coquetry: "Ba Mo~"

As for the Frost Milk Fairy...... It had already returned to its nest early to sleep, and did not stay up all night.

"Let's go, go back to the house and sleep!"

Naoki picked up the cloth and followed behind him, followed by Gu Leton and the motorcycle lizard, and rode to their home in the moonlight.

*

The next morning, it was a new day.

Today is the 5th of July, and the field is still deserted and has not yet begun a new round of sowing.

Naoki realized that he could not continue to salt, so early in the morning, he called the gopher and turned over the field with him, planting a new batch of pumpkin seeds and sunflower seeds.

He ate a few pieces of melon seed cake, and then called a few Pokémon to come and help with the work.

The dragon is still practising rain prayer by watering the ground.

The mounted goats also came over as usual to help take care of the crops in the fields with the green fields.

While they were busy, Naoki took the opportunity to take a look at the seeds of the World Tree.

[World Tree Seedling: A seed sapling that has absorbed a large amount of grass, because of the mount goat, it has undergone a mutation in the process of growth, and the majestic vitality is brewing in it, and finally breaking through the ground, and it will take 99995 years and 363 days to grow.] ]

"Two days less!" Naoki was a little happy.

There is no doubt that the goats are the ones to do!

Naoki turned his head to look at the three mounted goats.

"It seems that the grass energy can help the World Tree grow faster!"

But then again, because of the help with the seedling, the mount goats don't need to do daily jumping......

This makes Naoki, who is used to seeing the mount goat jumping, feel strange and unaccustomed.

He stood up and prepared to watch the goats tending to the pumpkins and sunflowers in the fields.

And at this moment, suddenly a black luxury car stopped outside the ranch.

Ba Da Butterfly, who sensed the unfamiliar atmosphere, immediately told Naoki the news.

Naoki looked up and saw an old man in a brown suit and a Fedora hat get out of the car.

The old man carried a gentleman's cane in his hand, and he looked full of grace.

After a distance, the old man saw Naoki here, and he nodded to this side with a light smile: "Naoki!" ”

"Mr. Sato!" Naoki excitedly called out the other party's name.

This old man is the owner of the two careworthy ones that Evan took him to see more than two months ago.

If Mr. Sato shows up here......

Naoki's heart moved, and he hurriedly stepped forward.

Old man Sato's face was still so kind: "I'm sorry, I was delayed in some things before, so I came here so late." ”

"It's fine." Naoki looked at the luxury car and asked, "Why don't you go have a cup of tea first?" ”

Seeing his gaze, Sato laughed: "There's no need to drink tea, I'm going to visit a friend later." ”

As he spoke, he turned around and said to the back seat of the black luxury car, "Come down!" We've arrived. ”

The door to the back seat was opened, and two normal-sized stewards silently stepped down from behind.

The larger, two-horned one pursed his mouth, and there was no expression on his face.

This is the elder brother, Naoki thought to himself.

And the slightly smaller, two-horned downward wardening caretaker was deliberately protected by his brother.

Unlike her brother, her sister's demeanor is very gentle, her eyes are bright, and when she sees Naoki looking at it, the corners of her mouth are raised, and a soft smile appears on her face.

The elder brother noticed his sister's actions, and the corners of his lips drooped, as if he was a little unhappy.

It gave its sister a disapproving look and whispered, "Love." (We said okay, let's look at this human being first.) ）

The younger sister hurriedly put away her smile and whispered, "Love!" (I see!) ）

Seeing this, the elder brother once again set his eyes on the human beings in front of him.

Naoki who heard them conspiring loudly: "......" Fortunately, he ate several pieces of translated melon seed cake in order to direct Pokémon in the morning.

Naoki didn't pay attention to their words, but observed their appearance, and nodded frequently in his heart:

"In more than two months, I have grown up a lot, and I can't see the small look at the beginning."

I just don't know if I remember him.

Old man Sato introduced with a smile: "This is Mr. Naoki, who will take care of you in the future, you met him when you were young, remember?" He went to the manor that time and brought you pudding. ”

Hearing this, my sister immediately nodded happily: "Love! (Of course I remember!) ）

The corners of the elder brother's mouth turned downward, and he looked a little unhappy: "Love ......" (said okay...... ）

The younger sister stuck out her tongue and said obediently: "Love! Love? (Got it, got it!) Brother, do you think that pudding is delicious? ）

The elder brother remembered what had happened, and he ate the pudding.

Hearing its sister's words, it seriously recalled the taste and nodded, "Love." (Delicious.) ）

My sister loves to be a little incomprehensible: "Love? Love! (Then why don't you like this human?) The pudding is delicious and the people are nice! ）

The elder brother said calmly: "Love." (It's different.) ）

It was worried in its heart, thought about it, and said to its sister seriously, "Love." (When we first meet a human, we can't be too emotionally invested in them, and we can't like him too much, because if he doesn't like us, we will be abandoned by him, and it will be very uncomfortable.) ）

This is what it heard from a meow in the manor who had been abandoned.

The meow had been subdued by a human, but the human thought it was too weak and didn't like it, so he abandoned it.

Later, he was lucky enough to meet the old man Sato, and was adopted by the old man Sato, and has lived in the manor ever since.

So, as an older brother, he has to protect his sister before determining whether this human will abandon the Pokémon.

My sister loves to listen to the waiter and doesn't seem to understand.

Hearing this, Naoki glanced at the appearance of a little adult, and the brother who tried to protect his sister was very complicated.

He didn't talk directly to the two caretakers, but turned to the old man Sato and said:

"Mr. Sato, let me introduce you to this ranch!"

Old man Sato, who is the keeper of the caretaker, must want to know what kind of life the caretaker will live here, so he has to explain everything in detail.

Sure enough, after hearing this, a bright smile appeared on Old Man Sato's wrinkled face.

He smiled and said, "Then I might as well be respectful!" ”
