Not a trainer this time.

Chapter 13 Farming, or Farming

At five o'clock in the evening, Zach drove the truck to the ranch on time.

Zhishu was leading Gulaton and Motor Lizard to plant the last fruit tree seedling in the soil. Just after watering, Zac's majestic voice came from behind.

"You did all of this? Isn't it too fast? It took less than a day?!" Looking at the brand-new pasture, Zach was a little dumbfounded.

The farmland that was originally occupied by weeds and trees became neat and clean. The pieces of soil were square and arranged in an orderly manner. The land above was slightly damp, as if it had just been watered.

Naoki turned around, smiled and said to Zach, "It's thanks to them."

As he spoke, he turned sideways, revealing Guleton and the motorcycle lizard beside him.

Zach was taken aback for a moment, then looked up, and saw that besides the motorcycle lizard he saw yesterday, there was another Pokémon beside Naoki at some point.

A Pokémon he had never seen before.

Tall body, strong physique, muscular limbs and body, thick and powerful tail...

"Who's that big guy?!" Zach's eyes widened again.

He swears, he has never seen such a Pokémon in Padia!
As a truck driver traveling all over the world, Zach has been to various places and seen countless Pokémon in his early years.

He can be said to know everything about the Pokémon that inhabit the Partia region.

Although he is not a trainer, if he encounters a trainer who has experienced training from the Orange Academy during the delivery, he will not be able to help but have a tense and exciting Pokémon battle with the other party.

It's just...he has never heard of such a Pokémon.

Seeing Zach's reaction, Naoki was not surprised, because at this time, no one except Dr. Olin had seen Guleton at all.

After thinking for a moment, he didn't say Guleton's name, but said truthfully: "I don't know where it came from. It appeared in the pasture last night and was injured. The motorcycle lizard and I rescued it." It, it just stayed on the ranch to help out to thank us."

"So that's how it is..." Zach nodded, looking at the expression of the strange Pokémon, he said again: "It seems to like you very much! Since you can meet it, it means that we have a destiny."

The question in his heart was answered, Zach didn't say much, but turned his head to look at the shipping box, and asked, "Did you find a mountain product like black truffle today?"

"No, but I did catch some fish."

With that said, Naoki came to the eaves, picked up the iron bucket full of fish and put it in front of Zach.

Zach squatted down and looked into the bucket. After seeing the scene inside, he couldn't help being surprised: "Ah? So many?!"

As a novice rancher, this kid's fishing skills are too superb, right?
"Let me see..." Zac released his Pokémon, an old construction craftsman, and directed it to move the glass fish tank specially used to hold fish from the truck.

"Bass, carp, catfish, herring...wow! There are two rainbow trout! These are rare and hard to catch! Your fishing skills are too good?"

Zach stood up with a look of admiration, and gave a thumbs up, "Amazing!"

In this regard, Naoki showed an awkward but polite smile on his face.

Zach took out the ledger and began to do the math on it.

"Bass is 300 alliance coins, carp is 120... rainbow trout is 1200, um, the total is 3680 alliance coins."

After the calculation, Zach put away the account book, took out his wallet and started to check out, "It's really good, I hope to have such a harvest tomorrow!"

Sure enough, no matter which world you are in, fishing in the early stage is the main source of income... Naoki thought as he took the money.

After receiving the goods, Zach turned around and wanted to leave. He had to go to other pastures and farms to receive the goods, and then had to deliver these goods to Zheqin Market and other surrounding cities overnight.

Just suddenly, Zach remembered something again.

He stopped, turned around and asked, "By the way, have you decided on a name for this ranch?"

name?

Naoki was stunned.

Zach grinned and said: "A good name will also become the signboard of the ranch, let more people know about it! When the time comes, the town will also hold a harvest season, and nearby ranches will participate in it to compare the quality of the crops grown Best of all, the ranch that wins in the end can get a mysterious prize from the town!"

Naoki understood.

To be honest, he hasn't figured out what to call the ranch.

But in this regard, he has always been very decisive.

Therefore, after thinking for a few seconds, Zhishu decided on a name: "Let's call it Zhishu Ranch!"

Simple and easy to remember, not fancy.

"Is it named after you? That's right! Then it's called Naoki Ranch!" Zach said with a smile, "I'm looking forward to the day when this name will spread throughout Padia!"

Naoki: "..."

Zach leaves.

Naoki watched him go away, turned around and looked at the brand new grid farmland in front of him.

After returning from the back mountain, he saw that the soil had almost recovered, so he took Gulaton and the motorcycle lizard to plant all the crop seeds he bought.

There are many types of seeds, and Naoki doesn't like messy ones, so he deliberately divided the field into different areas according to classification before planting.

Potatoes, turnips, garlic, spring wheat, strawberries, cabbage, cucumbers, radishes, tomatoes.

In addition, he also bought a few tree seedlings before.

Such as orange fruit, peach fruit, cherry fruit, lemon fruit.

These tree fruit seedlings occupy a piece of land alone, and that piece of land is ready to be turned into a special tree orchard.

The common tree fruit in this world is very cheap, and a tree fruit like orange orange only sells for 20 alliance coins.

Therefore, Naoki didn't intend to rely on them to make money, but planned to save snacks such as fruit cakes, fruit yogurt, and fruit pies for the motorcycle lizard and Gullerton to eat.

After several hours of busy work, Naoki felt exhausted all over.

But looking at the neat fields in front of him, he felt a strange sense of satisfaction.

"Well, there are a lot of crop seeds planted for the first time."

Naoki was worried that he would make a mistake, so after a little thought, he prepared to make a few wooden signs and insert them into the soil, and write the types of crops on them to distinguish different plots.

He'd seen a useful saw for wood in the back utility room earlier.

But today is a bit late, and Naoki is going to save it until tomorrow to do it.

Stretching, Naoki relaxed, took off the rubber shoes covered with mud on his feet, washed his face at the tap, and put on light sandals.

As soon as he turned his head, he saw Gulaton and the motorcycle lizard, which were all dirty, with mud on their feet and tail.

"..."

Naoki sighed helplessly, and said to the two: "Stand up, I'll give you a rush!"

The two Pokémon immediately stood obediently.

Naoki picked up the water pipe to help them wash their bodies, and when the mud was washed away, the two big guys shook off the water drops on their bodies in neat movements.

Naoki was thrown all over, and suddenly felt that they looked like two big dogs.

With this strange thought in mind, he turned back to the house and took out a towel, wiped the bodies of Gullerton and the Motor Lizard clean, and then drove them into the house.

The floor of the wooden house was mopped clean by Naoki, and there was no trace of dust. In order not to stain the floor, he would change out his shoes on weekdays when going in and out.

At this time, it was dark.

Guluton and the Motor Lizard were lying lazily on the floor.

The motorcycle lizard could not stop yawning.

So Leton looked at his past self with some disgust.

The room was lit with warm lights, and Naoki, wearing house slippers, stood in front of the stove and prepared dinner for them.

Well, what should I have for dinner tonight?
Naoki originally wanted to cook some new dishes, but he was exhausted after a busy day, so he finally decided to be lazy.

Simply fry a steak, take out sliced ​​toast, lettuce and ham, and put them together to form a nutritionally balanced sandwich.

"Eat it!"

Naoki put the sandwich in front of the two Pokémon, and took his own share and sat down at the desk, taking a pen to complete the rest of the day's bill.

Spring of 198, January 1th.

Income: fish +3680
Expenditure: 0
Remaining funds: 32490
After recording and dinner, Naoki flung himself on the bed contentedly.

sleep!
