Not a Trainer This Time

Chapter 418 Apple Orchard and Fruit-Gnawing Bugs, the new adventure of the Heroes Expedition Team!

"Guest, the moo milk, tree fruits, rock salt, honey and other crops you ordered have been sent out. I believe you will receive them in twenty minutes."

 Naoki imitated the tone of Taobao’s customer service in his previous life and said with a smile.

Qishu suddenly felt guilty, but he continued to act: "Eh? What are you talking about, Naoki? Why can't I understand it?"

 Naoki: “…”

“Okay, okay, stop pretending, are those three orders yours?” Naoki was speechless and a little touched in his heart.

Qishu is a pretty good person and worth making friends with!

Having said this, Qishu stopped acting. She admitted with a smile:

“Because the crops in your pasture are of high quality! Your body will become healthier after eating them, so I bought some for my parents and gave them away!”

At this time, the Kuailongs are almost arriving at Niangguang City, right?

Qishu wanted to add something more, when he saw a dragon carrying a satchel land at the door of Qishu's house under the guidance of Rotom's mobile phone.

Qishu moved away from the camera, stepped forward and took the goods from Kuailong, and then said to Zhishu: "Okay! I have received the goods, hey, Kuailong Express is really convenient!"

 Zhi Shu could only sigh helplessly: "Okay!"

"Yeah!" Qishu nodded repeatedly. She was a little worried that Zhishu would say something about her, so she quickly found an excuse and hung up the communication.

 A stack of buffs such as high-speed movement, divine speed, and dance of dragons.

 He even felt that if the dragons used all their strength, this time would become shorter.

 The man who had never drank goat's milk was very curious, so he decided to try it.

Qishu was stunned and quickly asked: "What's the matter? What happened?"

“Baby girl, where did you buy those things?”

 That’s right, it’s the championship trophy that Lingyou Horse won at the horse racing conference last year.

Gurusha, who was once unable to ski due to injury, became able to ski again after drinking this goat milk.

  There was no other way, Naoki had no choice but to give up, and at the same time he began to worry whether Qiling Youma’s long-term wearing of that trophy would cause his skull to deform and turn into the shape of the trophy...

 The woman felt relieved.

 Because it also really wants the "crown" that the ghost horse wears on its head.

　　【User Dian Dianshu: The goods have been received! The moo milk is delicious and the vegetables are fresh! The taste of rock salt is also very unique. My Pokémon and I like it very much and will support it again in the future! 】

 For example, take the upcoming spring horse racing. According to Naoki’s observation, the snowstorm horses seem to be looking forward to this event.

 Ten minutes ago, a postman dragon landed at their home and handed them a lot of produce and fresh milk.

Ten minutes later, Naoki looked at the positive reviews on his online store and didn’t know what to say for a moment.

 The woman recounted what had just happened word for word.

Hearing this, the woman was dumbfounded: "Which store still sells such things?"

 When the couple saw the names and mobile phone numbers on it, they knew that their daughter had bought it for them.

 Except for Qishu, there are no other customers in the ranch shop for the time being.

 However, when he drank the goat's milk, he immediately felt that his whole body became hot and full of strength.

 At the same time, in Ningguang City, Qishu, who was about to change his clothes and take the Electric Belly Frog and the others to work at the gym, suddenly received a call from his parents.

 How does it sound like the little pills sold to middle-aged men by some unscrupulous pharmacies?

Thinking of this, the woman suddenly became worried: "There shouldn't be any side effects, right?"

 The two signed for the goods, sent the dragon away, and returned home to look at the fresh crops, preparing to eat them this morning.

When the call was connected, Qishu heard his mother's slightly anxious voice from the other end.

 Putting aside the things on the Internet for now, Naoki planned to go see the Pokémon in the pasture.

 Because it feels that it is a symbol of the horse king and cannot be given to others casually.

Thinking of this, Naoki felt that that kind of thing was too bad.

 She had seen the magic of goat milk with her own eyes.

Thinking of this, Qishu quickly said to his mother: "I forgot to tell you! That kind of goat milk is very special. It is specially given to seriously injured people and Pokémon. If healthy people drink it, they will become full of energy." The energy will not stop until all the energy is used up!”

 For those ordinary big-mouthed gull express delivery, Kuailong Express is simply a dimensionality reduction blow.

   *

 In early spring, the entire pasture is filled with a scene of prosperity.

Hearing his mother's words, Qishu was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered the magical goat milk sold at Zhishu Ranch.

At this moment, the man saw a special bottle of goat's milk among the pile of goods. The goat's milk had a label of "Goat Milk of Life" and a Q-version avatar of a mounted lamb next to it.

Since then, it has been wearing it as a crown on its head. Naoki once wanted to help it take it off for safekeeping, but Linyouma refused.

Naoki glanced at the time on Rotom’s phone and murmured:

“It only takes 20 minutes to get from Zhiqin Town to Niangguang City. It is indeed a fast dragon that can fly around the earth in only 16 hours.”

 It’s a bit like brushing orders…

 After finishing the communication with Qishu, Zhishu waited in the pasture for about twenty minutes, and saw Kuailong and the others who had gone out to deliver goods return to the pasture.

The flowers in the garden were blooming extremely luxuriantly, and some wild butterflies were attracted, flapping their wings and flying among the flowers, stretching out their graceful figures.

“Your dad has run around the yard ten times and is now wrestling with a strange force on the grass!”

He looked at the ghost horse in the stable and felt that he could not continue like this.

 Spring is here, and there are still many things waiting for him to deal with in the pasture.

Qishu comforted him: "Don't worry, there are absolutely no side effects! I've seen others drink it with my own eyes!"

 So Naoki turned around and found King Lei Guan and told him his worries.

Hearing this, King Lei Guan didn’t say anything. He just went to talk to Lingyou Ma for a few words.

 Then Naoki saw Linyouma take off the trophy and gave it to King Lei Guan for safekeeping.

 “It’s no problem.” Lei Guanwang said to Naoki after accepting the trophy.

"That's good." Naoki inspected Linyouma's skull in detail and breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that it had not been deformed by the trophy.

 Farewell to the Ghost Horse and the Snowstorm Horse, Naoki went to the reverse world again and came under the World Tree.

  He found the tropical dragon that had been unable to fly due to injured wings last winter, and asked about its plans.

“It’s spring now. The snow outside has melted and everything is beginning to recover. What are your plans next? Do you want to go back to the Cauldron Lake to join your companions, or do you plan to stay here at the ranch?”

Tropical Dragon raised its head high and let out a melodious cry: "Oh~!"

 Naoki: “Do you want to stay and live with us?”

Tropical Dragon nodded and said happily: "Oh!"

 “Very good.” Naoki smiled slightly: “Then please take good care of me from now on, Tropical Dragon!”

 “Oh woo~”

While speaking, Naoki noticed that the banana fruit on the neck of the tropical dragon had grown again.

 If he remembered correctly, Tropical Dragon picked all the fruits in December.

Logically speaking, the next batch of banana fruits needs to wait until summer to be harvested.

 But the harvest is now in the spring. "Is it because the fried bananas are expedited? Or is it because the long-term stay here with the World Tree has sufficient natural energy to accelerate the growth of bananas?" Naoki murmured.

Looking at it this way, the fruit growth cycle of Tropical Dragon will change from two fruits per year to six or seven fruits per year.

Coupled with its [harvest] characteristic, you may be able to harvest a lot of banana fruits at one time. Rounding it off, it will be ripe once a month.

“It’s a pity that the effect of the sacred steamed buns made with the feathers of the Ho-Oh has no effect on tropical dragons,” Naoki thought to himself.

  【Holy Blessing, after the Pokémon eats it, it will be favored by the Phoenix King, and its luck will be greatly improved↑. This effect only takes effect on Mew, Baby Bear, and Zapdos. 】

This effect is equivalent to the artificial Tianfa characteristic. If it is also effective on the tropical dragon, its harvest characteristic may be triggered 100% and double the banana fruits can be harvested at one time.

However, the divine blessing is only valid for the members of the heroic expedition team who have been appointed by King Feng.

 But people always have to feel contented. Compared with the two crops a year at the beginning, it is already very good now, isn't it?

Zhi Shu reached out and touched the head of the tropical dragon. As the weather gradually warmed up, the mount goat and Oliva had left the reverse world and went to live outside.

 The heroes expedition team also continued their journey.

The Pokémon Tropical Dragon was a little bored here, so it followed Naoki outside.

Zhishu placed it by the river, where there is ample water and sunshine, making it very suitable for tropical dragons to live.

 When the world tree is fully grown later, he will build a nest for the tropical dragon on it.

After placing the tropical dragon, Zhishu went to the apple orchard on the other side of the river.

 Thanks to the cultivation of the mount goat, the apple sapling he planted before has fully grown, and now it has grown red apples.

With this head and color, it is not inferior even to the apples from Beishang Township.

 Zhi Shu picked an apple and took a bite.

 The next second, the sweet pulp burst into full juice in his mouth.

 “Well, it tastes sweet and crispy, not bad!”

 Naoki nodded with satisfaction.

 In addition to these red apples, there are still some apples that are still green.

 Zhi Shu plans to pick again in two days.

Walking in the apple orchard and looking at the apples in the garden, Zhishu suddenly felt worried.

These apples won’t attract fruit-gnawing bugs, right?

 Fruit-Gnawing, an Apple-dwelling Pokémon, is a Grass-type and Dragon-type Pokémon.

This kind of Pokémon specializes in eating apples. It will hide in apples as soon as it is born and grow while eating the pulp. It usually uses apples to disguise itself.

 For farmers, fruit-gnawing bugs under normal circumstances will damage orchards and are harmful Pokémon.

If you encounter a greedy fruit-gnawing insect, you might be able to eat up all the apples in the garden.

 But things are not absolute.

At this time, if you encounter fruit-gnawing insects with the [ripe] characteristic, not only will they not eat up the apples, but they will also accelerate the growth of the apples and make the apples mature faster.

 After the fruit-gnawing worm evolves into an apple-wrapped dragon or a honey-filled dragon, the efficiency of [ripening] will also be greatly improved.

It is said that in the remote Galar region, many fruit farmers raise Pokémon such as fruit-gnawing worms to help apples ripen.

Thinking of this, Zhi Shuzai walked around the apple orchard carefully, intending to see if there were any fruit-gnawing insects that had sneaked into his apples to eat the pulp.

 His golden finger can play a big role in identifying apples.

 At a glance, the detailed information of almost every apple is like this:

  【Apple: An ordinary fruit, sweet and delicious, with a crisp and refreshing taste. Because it was cultivated by goats during the growth process, its quality has been greatly improved. It has great nutritional value and can be used to make dishes. 】

If you encounter an apple infested with fruit-gnawing worms, detailed information will not appear.

 Because apples at that time could no longer be used as food.

 After careful inspection, Naoki was sure that no fruit-gnawing insects had entered his apple orchard.

 This made Naoki feel a little disappointed.

 He quite likes the plump dragon that evolved from the fruit-gnawing insect.

If he has the Fengmi Dragon, he can plant an apple orchard on the World Tree later and let the Fengmi Dragon take care of it.

After thinking about it for a while, Zhi Shu was about to go home and use his Rotom phone to search for Pokémon such as Fruit Gnaw and Pymosaurus on the Internet to see their habitats, and then tame a few with mature characteristics and return to the ranch to take care of them. apple orchard.

 But at this moment, the sky suddenly darkened.

Zhi Shu looked up and saw the huge figure of Rayquaza slowly descending into the pasture.

Zhi Shu was stunned for a moment, then realized something and turned to look at Kirby Park.

As expected, I saw Kuailaurus, Motorized Lizard, and Erguitun there. This time, even the Eevee and the mini dragons also ran over to join in the fun.

　　Seemingly shocked by Rayquaza's majestic figure, the Eevees and the mini-dragons all showed admiration in their eyes.

Kuailong started inviting Rayquaza to the ranch again...

Well, the biscuits and poffins that he and his sister had just prepared yesterday were about to be eaten up by Rayquaza, the big eater.

Zhi Shu suddenly felt a headache, but Kuailuu and Egui Peng were entertaining Rayquaza with poffins, and he couldn't stop them. It would be too rude to prevent Rayquaza from eating.

"well."

Zhishu could only accept his fate, let out a sigh from his mouth, and prepared to go home to see how much Baofen was left.

 He returned to the living room and was checking the ingredients in the cupboard when he suddenly received a video call from Baby Bear and Dream.

Zhi Shu was slightly surprised, and then quickly pressed the answer button.

The next second, the three Pokémon from the Hero Expedition appeared on the phone screen.

 Zhi Shu noticed the background behind them, which seemed to be a forest.

“It seems that you have arrived at your destination successfully.” Naoki said with a smile.

 The baby bear looked very happy: "One, one, one!"

　　Its words were automatically translated by Rotom using electronic sounds.

 Baby Bear: "That's right! There are a lot of Pokémon we haven't seen in this place!"

 Fantasy: “We just helped a long-winged gull that was lost in the forest find its trainer!”

 “Long-winged gull?” Zhi Shu was a little surprised.

Mew and Baby Bear nodded repeatedly, and they turned the screen so that Naoki could clearly see the strange Pokémon around him.

Serpentine bears in the grass, coyote dogs in the clearing, hunting swallowtail butterflies flying in the woods, proud swallows staying on the branches...

 Looking at the familiar Pokémon on the screen, Naoki's heart moved.

Is it possible that the Heroes Expedition is venturing to the Hoenn region? !
