Not a Trainer This Time

Seven o'clock in the evening.

After preparing dinner for the Moto Lizard, Frost Milk Fairy, and Miniature, Naoki tells them that he is going out and rides Oldton to Cauldron Lake.

Tonight the moon is shining, and a faint mist fills the cauldron lake, and the hazy moonlight pours on the lake.

When the Pokémon below leap out of the water, the silvery-white full moon will shatter with the ripples of the water.

"You're finally here!"

Yosuke did not return to the watchtower, and simply set up a simple campsite by the lake, and the bonfire lit in front of the tent was very conspicuous in the night.

Beside it stood a Pokémon with a shield in his left hand and a sword in his right hand, with thick black eyebrows and a calm expression.

And the group of salt stones snuggled up by the fire, drowsy.

Naoki placed the prepared food in front of them, and the group of young Pokémon immediately opened their eyes and showed surprise.

"Sure enough, the salt stones should like your dried fish more than my sandwiches!" Yosuke touched his head: "They didn't eat tonight.

His secret sandwiches were unattractive to the group of salt stone treasures.

Looking at the salt stone treasure who began to eat, Naoki smiled and said: "After all, Pokémon born from the rock salt layer under the ground will definitely not be the same as humans for food."

Yosuke agreed, "Yes, too.

He glanced at the time and said, "It's already seven thirty, when do we leave?"

Naoki said, "You can do it now."

"Great!" Yosuke looked excited, he stood up, took out the picture book and pen from his backpack and put it in his pocket, and then said to the knight-like Pokémon: "Onion oil soldier, here is for you!"

"Gah!"

The onion oil soldier saluted, saying that he would definitely protect this group of salt stone treasures. Naoki looked at the onion

ranger with interest, and asked curiously, "It evolved from the green onion duck, right?"

"That's right, only the green onion duck in the form of the Calar region can evolve into an onion ranger." Yosuke introduced with a smile: "It is a very brave and hard-working Pokémon, and its posture when fighting is very similar to that of a brave fighter in the movie!"

Naoki nodded, his gaze drawn by the green onion ranger's hands holding a sword-like sword shaped like an onion stem and a shield made of green onion leaves.

That kind of green onion is a very important thing, they will use it as a weapon, for the onion oil soldiers, the green onions that have accompanied them for many years are more important than anything else.

But at the same time, its green onions are also a great ingredient.

Feeling a malicious gaze cast on him, the onion oil soldier looked grim and turned his head keenly to look over.

Yosuke on the side followed Naoki's gaze and said with a smile: "The onion ranger is holding Calar green onions that only grow in the Calar region, do you want it?" I still have a few in my backpack to give to you.

Naoki is also very curious about the Chalel green onions, because according to his understanding, the green onions are a very delicious condiment, and they can be put into the dish to make the taste more delicious.

"Then I'll say thank you in advance." Naoki turned around, looked at the cauldron lake in the distance, and said to Yosuke, "It's time for us to go, do you remember the location of that Pokémon?"

"Of course!"

"Then come up!"

Naoki patted Gu Laren, so Leton obediently leaned down.

Naoki rode first, and when it was Yosuke's turn, he looked flattered: "Can I ride this Pokémon too?" It doesn't get angry, right?

Hearing this, Naoki looked at Gu Leton.

For Naoki's sake's face, Leton shook his head very much: "Gah!

Yosuke immediately became excited: "Thank you very much!"

He rode up cautiously.

When he sat down, Leton flew into the air, flying above the faint mist.

Yosuke looked around, discerned the direction, then pointed to the west and said, "That place is on the west side of the Cauldron Lake, near the Sea of Pathia, we have to cross the Cauldron Lake first."

"Good." Naoki is concise.

At night, some Pokémon that are difficult to see during the day also began to appear in this area.

Naoki's gaze swept down and saw several dark crows resting on the branches, sneaky dream demons who didn't know what they were doing.

At this time, Yosuke suddenly exclaimed: "Oh my God! The leave king stood up!

Naoki followed his gaze and saw a leave king walking around in a patch of grass below.

As if sensing an unfamiliar aura, the "Leave King" keenly raised his head and looked towards this side.

"It found us!" Yosuke was a little shocked.

As we all know, the Pokémon of the leave king are very lazy, lying motionless on the ground all day, usually living lying down, only eating grass that grows within reach. Only if the

surrounding grass is eaten, it will reluctantly move elsewhere, and it will not react even if the trainer makes trouble in front of it.

And now, instead of lying down, the king of leave is walking around very actively, with a very keen expression, always observing the situation around him.

That look doesn't look like a leave king at all.

Naoki's mind comes up with a phrase he heard when playing games before - when you meet a leave king who wanders around, it must not be a leave king, but a variety of monsters or Soroyak turned into.

So...... Is it Changeling or Soroyak?

Judging by its keen and vigilant movements, Naoki felt that there was an eighty percent chance of being a Soroyak.

Soroyak, the furry Demon Fox Pokémon, and the Phantom Overlord.

Naoki's heart moved.

So Reton did not stop, and the three quickly moved away from the area, and the leave king disappeared from their field of vision. Naoki glanced at the

scene behind him with a slight regret.

For the first time just now, he even wanted to give up looking for the mysterious Pokémon and go down to verify whether it was the Leave King or Soroyak.

Forget it, you can't pick up sesame seeds and lose watermelon.

There will be bread, and so will milk.

The cauldron lake is here, and he can come and explore it at any time in the future.

Naoki gathered his thoughts, and at this time, Sorenton also crossed the wide cauldron lake and came to the other side.

Yosuke behind him looked at the cliff not far away and said excitedly, "This is it!"

Naoki looked at the top of a steep cliff and saw a familiar Pokémon.

That Pokémon has a rounded body, a delicate dragon horn and whiskers on its head, and a pair of small dragon wings on its back.

It was sitting on the grass at the top of the cliff in a daze, looking at the moon in the sky with a melancholy face, and sighing sadly from time to time.

It turned out to be really a fast dragon!

Naoki's heart suddenly swelled. Fast Dragon,

a quasi-god Pokémon in the Guandu region, is powerful and extremely rare at the same time, and is the signature Pokémon of the well-known Dragon Heavenly King Imperial Dragon Cross.

Sure enough, it didn't disappoint him!

"That Pokémon is?!"

After seeing the appearance of the fast dragon, Yosuke behind him couldn't help but show shock.

Naoki slowly spat out its name: "Kuailong."

So Renton hovered in mid-air and did not land immediately.

The fast dragon didn't know if he didn't find them, or if he didn't care.

After observing from above for a while, Naoki let Kureton land behind Kuailong.

Yosuke immediately took out a pen and picture book and drew the scene of "fast dragon looking at the moon" in front of him.

Hearing the sound from behind, Kuailong seemed to turn around in doubt, and when it saw several people and Pokémon that suddenly appeared, it was startled, and its face immediately showed a surprised expression.

"Whoosh?!" Miscellaneous... When did you come over?!

How cute! Naoki set his gaze on this fast dragon.

The real fast dragon is very round, the body is chubby, the big belly is very soft at first glance, and I don't know what it feels like to the touch.

That round fat dragon claw also looks so cute.

It's really fat!

Naoki really wants to bring this fast dragon back to his ranch to raise it.

Therefore, he released his kindness towards the other party as much as possible.

"Good evening, Kuailong!"

Kuailong blinked its big, round eyes, did not show hostility, did not make an attacking move, it just glanced a few times, sighed softly, then stood up, flew to the sky, left here, and flew into the depths of the sea.

Naoki and Yosui, who remained behind, looked at each other.

After a while, Naoki said, "We... Did it bother it?

Yosuke looked at Kuailong's back and muttered, "It always feels like it's very sad." " Does

the fast dragon at the top of the Pokémon ecosystem also have troubles that cannot be solved?

Yosuke seemed to suddenly remember something: "You should have sent Gu Raton to fight it immediately, defeat it and collect it into the Pokéball, right?" "

“...... That's too hard for a strong dragon, right? Naoki said tactfully: "Besides, I'm not a trainer, and I don't plan to be a trainer, even if I take it, I won't use it to fight, I just want to live with it, you should understand that feeling, right?"

Yosuke looked like I understand I understand: "Collecting fetish? I've seen people before who only capture specific Pokémon for collection.

This sentence suddenly made Naoki think of the perverted collector in Lokia's explosion.

He couldn't help but ask, "Shouldn't it be made into a specimen and stored as I imagined?"

"How is that possible?" Yosuke's eyes widened: "Those guys just have a little strange hobby, and they are not perverts, I have seen people who only accept hairy and cute Pokémon in appearance, and it is said that the guy will sleep with those Pokémon every day and enjoy the feeling of being surrounded by them."

"There are also trainers who only like muscle Pokémon, strong Pokémon like Monster Power, Blazing Roaring Tiger, Bang Kongo, Long-haired Troll, and Blocker Bear, I think they must have been very insecure when they were children."

Naoki: "..."

An awkward but polite smile appeared on his face.

Coincidentally, he is one of them.

Yosuke asked again, "But then again, aren't you chasing it?"

Naoki thought for a while, shook his head and said: "Forget it, forcibly touching it may cause its disgust, if I guess correctly, it will come here later, and then it will be good to get to know it slowly."

Moreover, he can't stay up all night, or the motorcycle lizards will worry.

Yosuke agrees: "Yes, too.

The two returned to the campsite on the east side of Cauldron Lake, where the salt stones snuggled up around a warm campfire and fell asleep after filling their stomachs.

Yosuke lowered his voice and whispered, "Are you going back?"

Naoki also lowered his voice: "Well, come back tomorrow."

In addition to feeding the salt stone treasure, he had one more important thing to do.

That is to fish in the cauldron lake and bring it back to the ranch to sell.

If the group of salt stone treasures left with him, there would be five more mouths to eat in the pasture.

Not only that, but he also had to go to Kerry to build a salt house for Yanshibao to live in, so that he could easily collect rock salt.

The little money he had was not enough.

Now looking at the traces left by this group of salt stone treasures walking on the ground, Naoki felt distressed for a while.

There are places where money is needed everywhere, and he can't do it without trying.

"When you have time later, you can go and sit in my ranch, and I will entertain you well."

Naoki told the traveler from the Calar region in front of him the exact location of the ranch.

A smile appeared on Yosuke's face: "Well, I'll go when I'm done investigating the Pokémon ecology on this side of Cauldron Lake."

He was curious what the ranch built by the young man in front of him would look like.

Naoki also smiled and nodded, turned to say goodbye to him, and rode back to the ranch on his old days.

Before leaving, he left all the salty food in his backpack, and he had to go to town tomorrow morning, probably by noon.

By the time Naoki returned to the ranch, it was late at night.

Although it was late, the motorcycle lizard had not slept yet, and it lay on its stomach under the eaves and looked outside.

Seeing Naoki and Gu Leton return, the motorcycle lizard's eyes suddenly lit up, and it straightened up happily.

Naoki stepped forward and touched its head, knowing that the motorcycle lizard was trying to guard the pasture, and said with a smile: "Okay, I'm back, go to sleep!"

"Gaw~" The

motorbike lizard went to rest, while Naoki went to the chicken hut to check the chicken feed and water in the feeding tank, as well as the status of several chickens.

Seeing that the sink was almost empty, he added some water to it and went to sleep after he was busy.

Early the next morning, Naoki went to town after finishing his work on the ranch, followed the roadside signs to the town's fishing tackle shop, and bought a few oversized nets from there.

It is a pity that the iron-armored chrysalis has not yet evolved into a butterfly, otherwise he would have made his own fishing nets.

Over the next few days, Naoki got busy. He and his wife traveled to

Cauldron Lake, the Sea of West Parthia and pastures to catch fish, sometimes until the wee hours of the morning.

Not only him, but even the legendary Pokémon of Gu Ledon was tired enough.

Although it was very hard, Renton did not complain at all, but felt happy and fulfilled.

Seeing his ranch cauldron lake running back and forth, Yosuke also felt the hard work of running the ranch.

On one occasion, when Naoki went to visit Shioshibao and bring them food, Yosuke couldn't help but say, "You're too hard, aren't you?" Sometimes it's time to relax!

Naoki was sweating profusely, and while handing Gu Raton a bottle of juice to restore his strength and energy, he said:

"There are still a lot of things waiting for me to do in the ranch, and there are still many mouths that rely on me to eat, so I can't make more money!"

"Okay."

Yosuke saw that he could not be persuaded, and when Naoki and Gu Ledon left, he turned his head and began to lobby the five salt stone treasures in front of him.

"The Salt Stone Giant Spirit has been subdued by the human trainer and will not come back."

"You guys see that, right? The food these days is given to you by that man, and he really wants you to be able to go back to life with him on the ranch.

"Salt salt..." The

images of Naoki working in Cauldron Lake and taking time to visit them and bring them delicious food come to the Salt Stone Treasures' minds.

Even the chiefs may not be able to be so nice to them.

What's more, the current leader was taken away by humans and will not return. The

faces of the salt stone treasures showed a touched expression.

The five little ones looked at each other, and then made up their minds, deciding to follow the human who protected them and brought them food out of here and went to live on his ranch.

The IQ of the salt stone treasures is not high, but at this moment, they can vaguely feel that no one in this world will be so kind to them except Naoki.
