To be honest, Naoki was a little apprehensive about going to a rich banquet.

In his previous life, he was just a small social animal, and he had never been to that kind of occasion where the rich and bigwigs gathered.

But in order to be able to play with smartphones as soon as possible, Naoki decided to visit and see the banquet held by the upper class people in the Pokémon world.

Naoki had a lot of thoughts in his heart, but his face was silent.

Adike on the side continued happily: "Speaking of which, I haven't been there for a long time, but don't worry, we'll be together then!" ”

"Then I'll trouble you, Mr. Adek." Naoki said politely.

Adek patted him on the shoulder happily: "Don't be so polite to me, hehe, there will be a lot of food that is difficult to see outside on that occasion, those big bosses talk about business with each other, and trainers like me who don't run a company will only take Vulcan Moths to eat everywhere." ”

Naoki: "......"

He thought for a moment and then asked, "What about the time?" ”

Adek carefully recalled: "It's the beginning of April! It's either the first or the second, and today is March 23rd, and there are still eight days to go. ”

Naoki nodded, that's okay, he can go to the horse race with confidence.

Adek: "I'll stay in the Padia region for the time being, and then we'll fly to the United Crowd together!" ”

"Okay!" Naoki simply invited, "Then let's stay here at the ranch!" There was a horse race in town where Mr. Adik could relax. ”

"Okay, that's it!"

The fire god moth was safe and sound, and the large stone hanging in Adek's heart finally fell to the ground, and he had the leisure to visit the pasture of his benefactor's family.

Seeing that he was interested here, Naoki simply took Adek out and wandered around the ranch.

The ranch isn't huge, but the atmosphere is very fulfilling.

On the neat ridges, the crops are thriving.

A few mounted goats bask in the sun leisurely on the grass.

There are also many Pokémon that are not available in the United Regions are chasing each other, and bursts of laughter are coming out of their mouths.

Looking at this well-kept ranch and this group of Pokémon, Adek couldn't help but sigh:

"What a blessing!"

Humans live happily with Pokémon, and this is simply the life he dreamed of.

Naoki raised an eyebrow: "Oh? Does Mr. Adek also want to be a rancher? ”

To be honest, Adek was a little excited.

Nothing in this world lasts forever, and Pokémon's life will eventually come to an end.

They may not be able to accompany each other until the last moment, but the time and memories of living together are eternal happiness for Adek.

Because of this, they must live in the moment and cherish every moment of the present.

However, alas, these things can only be thought about by Adike.

for the United States is not stable......

Thinking of this, Adek let out a sigh and shook his head, "Although I am envious, I am the champion of the United Alliance, and the duty of the champion is to hope for and protect the happiness of humans and Pokémon more than anyone else. ”

So, when he returned to the United States, he planned to continue his travels.

Meet more trainers and teach them to maintain their relationship with Pokémon and establish a bond between humans and Pokémon.

Naoki knew that this would be the answer, and thinking of the plasma cluster in the United Nation area, Naoki cheered for Adek: "Come on, Mr. Adek!" ”

"Hmm!" Adek smiled and nodded, he wouldn't let his fans down!

At this moment, several black shadows suddenly flew in the sky.

Adek looked up and saw several dragons with satchels landing in the pasture.

After a busy day of delivery work, the fast dragons happily found their brother to take care of the waiter.

They received their Bonfen from their brother's housekeeper, and then ran to the grass to sit down with the Fen box in their arms, and enjoyed the delicious Bonfen while basking in the sun.

Looking at the few fast dragons feasting, Adik's eyes couldn't help but widen.

But at this moment, out of nowhere, five hack dragons flew out, and they flew in front of the fast dragons, pestering them to eat Bao Fen.

“！！！”

A capital exclamation point popped up above Adek's head: "Good, a lot of fast dragons!" ”

One, two, three......

Counting the one he had just seen, there were four fast dragons and five hack dragons in this ranch!

Adek was shocked: "Then, those fast dragons are your Pokémon?" ”

Good boys, so many fast dragons!

As far as he knew, the Dragon Heavenly King in the Guandu region didn't have so many fast dragons!

"Not quite." Naoki explains, "They are Pokémon that I hired and currently work in the ranch to help me deliver the goods ordered by my guests to the town. ”

Although these greedy dragons do have the idea of becoming his Pokémon......

However, hearing this, the incredible expression on Adek's face was even worse: "Delivery? ”

"Yes." Naoki nodded.

Adek didn't know what to say for a moment.

Thinking of the few Pokémon I had just seen, Naoki was really not an ordinary farmer......

As if he had thought of something interesting, Adek said to Naoki:

"I really want to know what kind of expression Yuryūto will have when he sees this scene."

Naoki: "......"

Wataru was originally from the Royal Dragon family, so it shouldn't be unusual for him to ask Kuailong to help deliver things, right?

However, Naoki was a trainer in the Padia region, and the Kanto area was very far away from Padia, so there was no way for the name of Watari to spread here.

Therefore, Naoki pretends not to know about crossing.

As a result, when Adek saw his expression, he became interested and pulled him to learn about the deeds of the crossing.

"That guy is the champion of the Guandu region, he was born in the Dragon Family in Yanmo City, and he is very good at using dragon attribute Pokémon."

"And among them, the representative Pokémon of the Dragon Family is the Fast Dragon, but the Pokémon of the Dragon Family is very rare, even if there are not so many of them in the Dragon Family."

"It is said that at the beginning, Yuryu used Pokémon with dragons in their names, such as tyrannosaurus, fire-breathing dragon, and fossil pterosaur."

"If you let the elders of the Dragon Clan know that there are so many fast dragons in your ranch, you will definitely be surprised, compared to this, you are the real Dragon Sanctuary!" Adek sighed.

Naoki: "......"

"Mr. Adik knows the Dragoncross?" Naoki asked.

Adek nodded: "He also went to that dinner party before, and I had a few words with him at that time. ”

Naoki suddenly said: "I see! ”

Adek looked at the group of fast dragons, as well as the other Pokémon in the ranch, and suddenly changed the subject: "But then again, you're also a champion, right?" ”

No, it's not, Naoki shook his head, "The champion of the Pardea region has always been Chief Yaci. ”

"Huh?" Adek was a little surprised, could it be that he was wrong?

But on second thought, it occurred to Adek that the situation of the Pardean League was different from that of other regions.

In addition to the regional champions, there are also a lot of champion-level trainers.

And Naoki in front of him, it is very likely that he was one of them before, and in the end, maybe he was tired of the life of the champion, so he chose to retire and came to this place with his Pokémon to run the ranch.

Adek intuitively felt that he had discovered the truth, and he felt more and more that he was in love with Naoki.

Both the attitude and perception towards Pokémon.

Don't focus on Pokémon battles, but focus on the happy time of living with Pokémon.

At this time, a rookie trainer holding Pichu suddenly ushered in the ranch.

"Well, excuse me! Is this Mr. Naoki's ranch? The girl asked expectantly.

Naoki was stunned, glanced back at the Grape Academy uniform she was wearing, and nodded, "I'm Naoki." ”

The girl's eyes lit up, and then she said with fighting spirit, "Great! Mr. Naoki, Peech and I are here to participate in the grass trial in the pasture! ”

Naoki was not surprised by this situation, as those passing students challenged, it was only a matter of time before the trials in the ranch were heard.

So, he asked, "And how many badges have you collected?" ”

The girl was a little embarrassed: "That...... Pechu and I just started school this year and haven't started participating in the gym challenge yet, but don't worry about Mr. Naoki! We've had hellish training at the academy, and we'll be fine! ”

Naoki grimaced: "No, you are not qualified to participate in the trial. ”

The girl suddenly wilted like a frosted eggplant.

As early as last year, the grass trial of Naoki Ranch began to gain fame in the academy, and gradually a rumor formed in the academy.

It is said that in a remote rural town, there is a place called Naoki Ranch.

The rancher there is a powerful champion-level trainer who has set up extremely difficult trials in the ranch.

Legend has it that those trials were more difficult than the Pardean League's Championship Challenge.

But the difference is that the purpose of the trial in Naoki Ranch is not to win, but a sparring trial, which can help Pokémon increase their strength and hone their combat skills.

In addition, as long as someone is able to pass the trial, it is said that they can receive a mysterious gift from the owner of the trial.

Many students came to participate in the trial, but the trial was so difficult that none of them had passed so far.

Later, Mr. Naoki added a condition to the trial, saying that he had to collect a certain number of badges before he could participate.

For this reason, everyone began to speculate whether Mr. Naoki was a mysterious champion-level trainer.

In order to compete with champion-level trainers, many trainers have come to the competition, and being able to participate in trials has also become the capital of some students to show off.

Something like "I'm in the Grass Trial!" Thirty seconds in the hands of that mounted goat! ”

"Hmph, it's only thirty seconds! I lasted a minute! ”

"Me too, I participated in the Thunderbolt Trial, and I successfully dodged several Champion-level Pokémon attacks, right?"

But even so, there are still some people who come to the ranch to challenge and are rejected by Mr. Naoki.

Because their strength did not meet the requirements.

At first, these trainers were still very sad and worked hard to collect the gym badges.

But later, several trainers found a way to challenge the Grass Trial, which was to pretend to be pitiful to Mr. Naoki, and tell him that he wanted to fight against the powerful Pokémon, telling him that he wanted to experience the legendary Grass Trial.

In that case, Mr. Naoki will let go when he resists the enthusiastic challenger, allowing you to give it a try.

Thinking of this, the girl begged, "Please, Mr. Naoki, let's give it a try!" Let's see the strength of the champion Pokémon, and Pichu and I will try to get to that place! ”

Naoki suddenly had a headache, and came and went again.

His words softened: "It's not that I don't let you challenge, it's just that if the strength gap between Pokémon is too large, if you are not careful, you will be seriously injured by Pokémon." ”

It's fine to have life goat's milk on his side, but if these trainers have this idea and challenge stronger Pokémon in the wild, it will be dangerous.

The girl was full of fighting spirit: "Don't worry! I've got all kinds of medicine ready! ”

The little Pichu in her arms also jumped onto the grass, clenched her little paws with high morale, and a faint electric current burst out of her cheeks: "Piqiu! ”

Naoki: "......"

He sighed helplessly and said, "Okay, then let you give it a try, but remember to do what you can, you know?" ”

"Yay!" The girl jumped for joy, and then high-fived Pichu.

Naoki turned to the battlefield and called out to a mounted goat, saying to it, "Play with this little pichu!" ”

The mount goat looked at the little Pichu, and then nodded: "Baa~"

A girl on a trip has come to take on the challenge!

The girl sent Pichu!

The mount goat uses the grass, and Pichu is flooded by the grass, and Pichu is confused.

The bewildered Pichu uses an electric shock and misses the mount goat.

The mount goat uses a rattan whip, which entangles Pichu and Pichu is shot away.

Seeing that Pichu was about to fall to the ground, the mounted goat caught Pichu with a rattan whip again, and the cycle continued.

In this battle, Naoki did not command.

He stood on the sidelines and watched the battle, and Adek watched the scene with great interest.

Through the conversation just now, he roughly guessed Naoki's thoughts, so he spoke:

"You're helping these novice trainers hone their skills."

Naoki smiled awkwardly but politely, and said that it was not true, he just wanted the challenger to help his Pokémon hone his actual combat skills and increase his strength.

As a result, I didn't expect that most of these challengers were rookie trainers......

If you put it in the game, the level of those pichu and green caterpillars probably won't exceed lv8.

Lv8's Pichu vs. Lv60's mount goat.

It's like just coming out of the novice village to challenge the big demon king.

At this point, the battle has come to an end.

The goat's rattan whip resembled a giant trampoline, and it wasn't long before Pichu was knocked unconscious.

The battle ended with Pichu losing his ability to fight.

"Pichu!" The girl hurriedly ran forward and checked Pichu's injury, only to find that it was not injured at all, but fainted.

Naoki stepped forward, feeling a little strange lately, as several trainers were using the same words to challenge the Grass Trial.

In order to find out the truth, he directly questioned the girl in front of him.

"Intimate Marseille!"

The girl bowed embarrassedly before explaining:

"That's... That's because everyone in the first year thinks it's a very powerful thing to fight against a champion-level Pokémon! Since everyone has never seen a champion-level trainer, they all want to see a champion's Pokémon...... In addition, those who have challenged the trial of the grass will be worshiped by everyone......"

Naoki immediately understood what was going on.

He said with a helpless face, "I welcome you to come and visit the mount goat and the babu to pluck them, but it is not right to take the battle against the champion Pokémon as your own capital to show off." ”

The girl blushed, not because she was shy, but because she felt a little ashamed.

Adeke on the side also nodded approvingly when he heard this: "That's right, if you want to fight against the champion Pokémon, then work hard with your Pokémon in a down-to-earth manner, and one day, you will also become the new champion!" ”

The girl looked up at the man in front of her blankly, and after a moment, nodded heavily: "Hmm! ”

Naoki gave the girl several bottles of moo milk with the pattern of Naoki Ranch printed on it: "This is the special milk from the ranch. ”

"Huh?" The girl was a little flattered.

Naoki smiled, "I hope when you get back to school and help me tell everyone that you don't come over to challenge the trial until you've collected six badges." ”

"Because if the difference in strength between Pokémon is too large, it is possible to cause irreversible damage to Pokémon in the battle, and in more serious cases, some Pokémon will lose their lives because of this and become unable to fight anymore."

The girl listened blankly.

Naoki asked softly, "Do you like Pokémon a lot?" ”

Only then did the girl come back to her senses, looked at Pichu in her arms, and nodded seriously: "That's right! I love Pokémon and want to live with Pichu all the time! ”

Naoki smiled and said, "So, let's move forward with our feet on the ground!" Take it with you to every corner of the world! When you have enough strength, I will have a serious battle with you at that time, and until then, work hard! ”

The girl looked serious, she held the bottles of milk, nodded and said, "Well, I understand, thank you, Mr. Naoki!" ”
