Not a trainer this time.

Chapter 142 Mountain Picking Midterm Exam (Two in One)

Early the next morning, after finishing work on the ranch, Zhishu was going to go for a stroll in 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, Luton is teaching the motorcycle lizard moves, 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 butcher is managing the chickens...

So when going out this time, Naoki specially called Ba Dahu, who is more familiar with Houshan, to accompany him.

Before setting off, he told the motor lizard: "I'm going out, remember to study hard with Guleton, did you learn the dragon's wave last time?"

"Gah~"

Motor Lizard nodded, then ran over and hugged Naoki affectionately.

After yesterday's incident, it found that Naoki would not be angry or scold him, and gradually became more courageous.

Seeing this, Naoki was a little helpless.

He touched the motorcycle lizard's head, and said: "If you have learned the wave of the dragon, then you can learn the next move."

As he said that, Naoki turned his head to look at Guleton, saw that he was full of envy, and stepped forward to hug him.

So Luton was satisfied.

Naoki did not forget to add: "There is one more thing, that is, don't teach the motorcycle lizard to use the dragon star group for the time being."

"Ah hiss?"

Naoki looked at it, then looked at the motorcycle lizard, and explained: "Because the power and coverage of that move are too great, if you are not careful, the pasture will be destroyed."

Hearing this, the two Pokémon expressed their understanding.

Seeing this, Naoki smiled and said, "Then I'll go first!"

As he said that, he put on the cane whip basket on his back, which contained some food for abducting Pokémon, and said to Ba Dahu beside him, "Let's go!"

"Hey~"

It is summer, and the trees on the back mountain grow taller and deeper.

The dark green dense bushes blocked the sun in the sky, casting mottled light and shadows on the ground, and the noisy insects came from a distance, occasionally accompanied by a loud cicada.

All these things prove that this is a very lively mountain forest.

As soon as he stepped in, Naoki saw many familiar Pokémon.

The common green caterpillar, the bean spider hanging upside down on the tree, and the bean cricket hiding in the grass.

Naoki is not very interested in them, and these insect-type Pokémon are small in size, and they will not actively attack humans.

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

Not long after walking, Naoki found a bunch of wild ginger in a bush.

Naoki has some knowledge about this kind of mountain product, but not much, he just knows that it can be used to make soup.

"It's just that I can go to the town to buy a casserole and cook soup when I turn back."

Thinking about it, Zhishu uprooted the bunch of wild ginger and put it in the basket.

Ba Dahu on the side looked at this scene curiously: "Hey?"

Zhishu explained the function of this kind of mountain product to it, and then asked with a smile: "Ba Dahu, do you know where there are edible things growing nearby?"

Ba Dahu blinked, thought carefully, and then nodded again and again: "Hey!"

ah?Do you really know?
Ba Dahu led the way ahead, and Naoki quickly followed.

After passing through a dense bush, they came to a big tree.

Sure enough, there were many green-skinned, green-looking fruits hanging on the big tree.

Ba Dahu gently picked one from the top and put it in Zhishu's palm.

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

Not yet ripe mountain almonds!
"Hey~" Ba Dahu said, some Pokémon will come to eat this when they can't find food.

Naoki didn't understand, but still nodded, and shook his head again: "No, this is not edible yet, it is not ripe yet."

"Hey?"

Naoki thought for a while: "It will probably take a month or two to grow! This thing is also delicious, and the almonds inside are crisp and refreshing, and it is a very nutritious fruit."

"Hey!"

Ba Dahu had already started drooling.

Naoki smiled and said, "I'll bring you here when I'm mature."

Ba Dahu nodded repeatedly.

Zhishu asked again: "Aside from these, what did you eat when you lived in the wild?"

"Hey..."

Ba Dahu thought about it carefully.

When it was a green caterpillar, it ate mostly leaves from trees. Occasionally, if it was lucky, it could pick up a tree fruit.

Most of the time, they hide in the dense bushes and grass to avoid the predation of the predator bird Pokémon.

Although the chances are rare, they have seen the eating habits of many other Pokémon.

Ba Dahu sniffed the air, and then led Zhishu to continue forward in this mountain forest.

After a while, they arrived under an old towering tree.

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

Three bees flew out of the nest constantly to collect honey, while their leader, the queen bee, patrolled around, guarding the honey brewed by the three bees.

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

Ba Dahu shook his head, and also whispered: "Hey!"

It dare not come over!
These three bees are fierce, and the queen bee is also very scary, not at all as friendly as the three bees in the pasture.

But there will be other Pokémon coming, such as the circle bear and the baby bear, and the gentleman moth will come to steal honey at night when the three bees are asleep.

"Forget it, there is honey in the pasture, so don't bother these three bees." Zhishu said.

Ba Dahu had no objection, one person and one Pokémon came quietly, and then left quietly, continuing to search for useful mountain goods in this place.

At the same time, Table City.

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

Contrary to what Naoki thought, Orange Academy was just a branch of Padia Academy, which together with Grape Academy formed Padia Academy.

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

People who come here to study can choose their favorite college according to their preferences.

Today is the midterm exam day at Padia College.

In addition to the basic written examination, Padia Academy also specially held a Pokémon battle competition between Orange Academy and Grape Academy.

The winning students, in addition to getting an A grade on the grade column, can also get the college's Treasure Hunting Scholarship.

That was a lot of money, and because of this, many students were attracted to sign up for the competition.

On the open-air battle field in the center of the table, an intense Pokémon battle is going on.

Students wearing the uniforms of Orange Academy and Grape Academy surrounded the battlefield.

While shouting enthusiastically, they chatted with their companions about the two trainers in this battle.

"Hey, Messenger Bird vs. Scorching Crocodile, guess who will win this battle!"

"Of course it's a scorching crocodile! The fire attribute can restrain the ice attribute messenger bird!"

"And, the trainer of that messenger bird is very famous in our 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 Bottle City. He was spoiled and spoiled since he was a child, and he can't train Pokémon at all. His messenger bird is notoriously weak. Meow can beat him against the attribute."

"I heard that not long ago, the young master made up his mind to work hard and took the messenger bird to do push-ups and jogs on the playground every day. As a result, he was tired and stopped eating within a week. It made a lot of jokes."

On the battlefield, Carter listened to others' evaluation of him with a red face.

But soon, what happened two days ago appeared in his mind.

In that pasture, under the training of the three mount goats who are as powerful as the king of heaven, his messenger bird has gained a lot of experience, and now it has already been completely reborn!Even comprehended more powerful moves.

Therefore, they will definitely not lose!
It seemed that he felt the mood of the trainer, and the messenger bird on the battlefield responded loudly to him.

"Bibi!"

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

"Messenger bird, pray for rain!"

Carter gave the order immediately.

Praying for rain is a move that can reduce the power of fire-attribute Pokémon moves, and it can bring good results when facing scalding crocodiles.

The trainer on the opposite side did not give the order immediately, but looked up at the scene together with the hot crocodile.

"Pray for rain? Just let you do one move, otherwise someone will say that I defeated you by relying on attribute restraint."

"No need!" Carter was annoyed at being looked down upon by the other party. At this time, it began to rain in the sky.

Sizzling Crocodile's trainer is finally getting serious: "Use spark attacks!"

After the command was issued, the scorching crocodile took two steps forward, and a string of hot sparks spewed out from its mouth, approaching the messenger bird in mid-air.

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

The messenger bird flapped its wings and bent down in the rain, the string of sparks brushed past it, and then, the messenger bird moved, and several clones appeared in the rain.

"Shadow Clone? When did he learn it?!" The surrounding crowd was stunned, this move is very difficult to comprehend!

Carter's ears were sharp, and he was keen to capture people's voices. An excited smile appeared on his face, and he thought, "Of course it's thanks to Mr. Naoki!"
During the Green Grass Trial, the frenzied and continuous attacks of the mount goat forced out the potential in the body of the messenger bird, allowing it to comprehend the shadow clone in order to avoid the attack.

And, that's not all!
Thinking of this, Carter said loudly: "Use that trick!"

The scorching crocodile's trainer gave an instruction at the same time: "Don't think I can't crack the shadow clone, scalding 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 from its throat, turning into a gust of hot wind, and swept towards the messenger bird.

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

"What is it doing?! Don't die?!"

The onlookers were shocked.

But at the moment when the messenger bird was about to be swallowed by the hot wind, its body suddenly turned in an exaggerated posture, and then rushed straight into the sky.

While the messenger bird was playing with the hot wind, white light emerged from its wings, turning into a wing blade, and swiftly rushed forward to cut off the scalding crocodile.

The figure of the scalding crocodile retreated backwards.

Everyone held their breath and looked at this scene in disbelief.

Soon someone recognized the name of the move.

"It's Yan Fan!"

Carter felt refreshed in his heart. He pointed at the scalding crocodile and said loudly:

"Compared to Mr. Naoki, you are still far behind! Messenger bird, use throw!"

The boy on the opposite side was a little panicked after all, he hurriedly said: "Scorching crocodile, avoid it!"

But it was too late.

The messenger bird had already come behind the scorching crocodile, it hugged the scorching crocodile tightly with its wings, and then threw it into the sky with all its strength.

"Oh!"

Everyone exclaimed for a while, their eyes followed the scorching crocodile to look into the air.

The messenger bird followed closely behind and came to the top of the scalding crocodile at a faster speed.

"It's now, use tile splitting!"

"Bibi!"

The Messenger Bird raised its wings high, swung the knife down violently, and directly smashed the scalding crocodile down, and fell heavily to the ground.

All dust settled.

The scalding crocodile was lying in the big pit, its eyes turned into circling mosquito coils, and it had already lost its ability to fight.

The referee stepped forward to check, and then announced:
"The Scorching Crocodile has lost the ability to fight! This battle was won by Carter, a freshman from Orange Academy!"

"How, how is it possible?!"

"Carter and his messenger bird have won!"

"And still defeated the scorching crocodile against the attribute!"

"Could I be dazzled?!"

"how did you do it?"

People surrounded Carter, shocked by his growth.

Carter was quite proud to enjoy the attention of everyone, he snorted in his heart, he wanted you to say that I am a useless young master!

He didn't want to tell these nasty guys how he and the messenger bird grew up.

But then, Carter thought of the grass trial in Naoki Ranch, and thought of the three terrifying mount goats that could kill his messenger bird in an instant.

He rolled his eyeballs, and an evil thought came up in his heart. With the idea that he couldn't suffer alone, Carter cleared his throat, pretending to be profound:

"It all starts with getting lost."

Then, he raised his head and scanned the crowd, and asked, "Have you heard of the Trial of Green Grass?"

"Grass Trial?" People shook their heads one after another: "What is that? Tell us!"

The corner of Carter's mouth raised, and a mysterious smile appeared on his face:

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

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

People's curiosity was aroused by him, and they followed his words and asked, "How long?"

Carter stretched out a finger: "One and a half days! In just one and a half days, the Messenger Bird and I have completely changed!"

"A day and a half?" Everyone was shocked: "How is it possible? To make a Pokémon change so much in such a short period of time, even the top trainers and breeders may not be able to do it?"

"That's because the founder of the Trial of Green Grass is not an ordinary person." Carter deliberately kept it a secret: "If you want to know, you can go and see for yourself! The address is Zhishu Ranch near Zheqin Town .”

As he spoke, Carter prayed silently in his heart:

Mr. Naoki, riding a goat, must teach this group of hateful guys a lesson, and never let me suffer alone!
