Not a Trainer This Time

In the evening, Zach came to the ranch to collect the goods.

Naoki brought out goat's milk and rock salt, as well as a few small mushrooms growing in the cave.

"Boom! Today's harvest is very rich! Zach's eyes widened: "It looks like your ranch is finally back on track."

Naoki hooked the corners of his mouth, he looked at the motorcycle lizard and Gu Lerton not far away, and sighed: "Yes, this is thanks to everyone's joint efforts!"

"That's how it should be!" Zach sighed: "Alas, few young people today are willing to stay in the country to run a ranch and become a farmer." Unlike

before, it is now popular to be a trainer.

Almost every child wants to claim their own Pokémon, travel with them around the world, play competitions, and become the strongest Pokémon trainer.

"The nearby farms and ranches are run by some older people, just a young person." Zach Drive.

Naoki nodded thoughtfully.

If you calculate according to the timeline of the anime, this time node is not long after Ash went out.

Although the profession of trainer has not yet reached the peak of "Pokémon Journey", it has gradually begun to take the world by storm. "Well, a total of

five pounds of rock salt, six liters of goat's milk, six small mushrooms, well, a total of thirty-two thousand three hundred alliance coins."

Zach handed over the money, then returned to the van and said goodbye to Naoki: "I'm leaving, and I have to work overtime to get these goods to the Jiqin Market."

Zach left.

Naoki returned to the wooden house and took out the ledger to record today's income and expenditure.

Spring 198, January 31.

Income: Rock salt +16,800, goat's milk +13,000, small mushroom +2,500 Expenses: Tree fruit -600,

ingredients -5,000, fertilizer -10,000

Remaining funds: 33,680

"Thirty-three thousand..." Looking at the numbers in the ledger, Naoki fell into deep thought.

He had specifically asked Kerry before.

The price of wanting to build a house with kitchen, bathroom, living room, dining room, study, bedroom, cellar is very exaggerated.

Including furniture, this complete set may not be less than 15 million.

Kerry showed him the blueprint, it was a two-story villa, with complete facilities inside, Naoki was very satisfied, but the price was too expensive, and it was not at all what he could afford now.

Chicken huts, Pokémon cabins and the like are all small troubles, and this kind of villa is the big head. Alas, there is still a

long way to go!

But fortunately, Kerry also provides an addition to ordinary houses, which can be used by him for temporary transition.

Naoki took a deep breath while mentally setting the villa as the ultimate goal. Tomorrow, the

time will officially enter February, and the crops in the fields can begin to be harvested one after another.

Life is starting to get busy again.

Naoki lay on the bed and went into a deep sleep.

Early the next morning, after breakfast, Naoki handed over the goat's milk to Kuairyu and asked him to deliver milk to Mrs. Dontaise.

Watching the fast dragon go away, Naoki also began his daily work.

At this time, a man riding a motorcycle lizard suddenly broke in outside the ranch.

It was a young man in a blue overalls and a blue cap, carrying a brown fanny bag.

The man and the motorcycle lizard stopped not far away, looked at Naoki, and greeted politely: "Hello, may I ask, is this Naoki Ranch?"

"Yes." Naoki was a little surprised: "You are?"

The young man jumped off the motorcycle lizard, he looked sunny and showed two small tiger teeth when he laughed.

The man introduced himself: "Hello, Mr. Naoki, my name is Evan, I am a postman in town, specializing in sending letters and delivering things, here is a letter from you, can you please sign it?"

"Letter?" Naoki was slightly stunned.

Who will send him letters? He didn't know a few people in this world, and the original owner didn't have any worries and friends.

Thinking so, Naoki reached out and took the letter.

Opening the envelope and pulling the letter out of it, Naoki looked down. [To Naoki

Ranch:

Hello, Naoki! ] Not long ago, I heard Mayor Thomas say that you came to inherit this ranch, and I am very happy to hear this news!

Spring is here, it's cherry blossom season, and we'll be hosting a cherry blossom cocktail party in the cherry orchard on February 7th.

Townspeople, trainers, and farmers from nearby farms gather here to enjoy cherry liquor brewed last year, enjoy flowers, exchange their farm's specialties, and set up stalls to sell to those who attend.

You can also bring the crops and specialties produced on your farm, or the delicacies you make with them, and sell them at the stalls.

Looking forward to seeing you here.

—by Eref Cherry Orchard]

Naoki raised an eyebrow, cherry blossom wine party... Local festivals?

Sounds pretty interesting.

He nodded and said to Evan, "Thank you very much, I see." The

mailman brother Evan nodded: "Okay, then I'll take a step first, see you later!"

With that, he rode onto the back of the motorcycle lizard and ran away with a puff of smoke.

"Sure enough, the motorcycle lizard is a means of transportation here!" Naoki couldn't help but think.

After a moment, he smiled and shook his head and continued to devote himself to the work of the ranch.

At the same time, in the town of Jiqin, the blue ocean street.

Kuailong came to No. 308 as usual and knocked lightly on the door a few times with his big fat paws.

Soon, there was a sound of footsteps inside the door, and Mrs. Don Taisi opened the door and saw that it was Kuailong, with a kind and kind smile on her face.

"It's a fast dragon!"

"Whoosh~"

Kuailong handed the goat's milk out.

Mrs. Don Taisi reached out and took it, and after paying the money, she said to Kuailong, "Please wait a minute, I have something I would like to ask you to help bring to Naoki."

"Whaa Kuailong was a little puzzled.

Mrs. Don Taisi turned around, took out a bag and a letter from the room and handed it to Kuailong, and said with a smile:

"This is a small cookie I made with my own hands, take it back and give it to Naoki to taste!"

"Whoosh!"

Kuailong nodded obediently, took the letter and biscuits, turned and flew back to the ranch.

Mrs. Dontais watched its figure go away, then turned back to the room, and saw her husband, who looked much better, with an expression that was more relaxed than ever: "How do you feel today?"

The other party said: "I feel much better, and the strength in my body has also returned some."

Hearing this, Mrs. Tang Taisi gently breathed a sigh of relief: "This is thanks to Naoki's goat's milk!"

————

"Mrs. Dontais gave it to me?"

In the ranch, looking at the small cookie and a letter handed over by Kuailong, Naoki was a little surprised.

"Whoosh!" Kuailong nodded happily.

Naoki reached out and took it, opening the letter written by Mrs. Dontaise.

The letter wrote that her husband's health was much better, and she was very grateful to Naoki for the goat's milk, and sent some small cookies, and wished Naoki good health and success in the work of the ranch.
