The next morning, after eating breakfast, Yosuke began to pack up.
He was leaving, leaving the Padia region to visit other regions.
Before leaving, he said to Naoki: "If you have the chance, you must go to the Galar region to see it. It is a very beautiful place."
Naoki nodded: "If you have time."
A hearty smile appeared on Yosuke's face, and he waved goodbye to Naoki immediately, carrying his schoolbag alone, and embarked on his journey.
Naoki stood in front of the entrance of the ranch and stared at his retreating back. He didn't look back until he could no longer see him.
Life is like a moving train. There are many stops along the way. Some people suddenly break into our lives, while others get off at the stop and say goodbye to us, saying goodbye to each other.
Life must go on.
Naoki shook his head slightly and turned back to the pasture.
Today's weather is still a sunny day, there is no rain, and there is no way to help Kuailong practice praying for rain.
After finishing his daily work in the pasture, Naoki looked at the empty pasture and decided to buy some decorations to plant.
Just like flowers.
Not only can they beautify the pasture, but they can also help the evolved Bad Butterfly collect pollen and provide it with a good living environment.
So, at 9:30 in the morning, Naoki rode a motorcycle lizard to the seed shop in Ziqin Town, where he bought several packages of flower seeds and a space backpack with 20,000 alliance coins.
Tulips, iris, hyacinth...
They returned to the town, opened up a new piece of land on the farm, and planted these flowers together.
Soon, there will be a beautiful flower field here.
Looking at the Bada butterfly beside him, Naoki said with a smile: "It will take about 20 days for these flowers to grow out of the ground. By then you can collect pollen and nectar here."
"咒咒咿~"
Bada Butterfly is very happy.
He began to look forward to that day coming.
Naoki fell into deep thought.
As we all know, some Pokémon's personalities will change after they evolve.
Ash's Charizard is one example.
So the question is, has Bada Huo’s character changed?
Thinking of this, Zhi Shu asked: "Bada Butterfly, how do you feel now? Do you still want to work hard to become stronger like the green caterpillar?"
“咒咒咿……”
Bada Huo thought about it carefully and found that he no longer seemed to have the original urge to become stronger.
Instead, I want to live a good life and protect this ranch.
But guarding the pasture also requires strong strength, just like the Bad Butterfly in the forest guarding the green caterpillar from the bird Pokémon.
So, it will still work hard!
"咒咒咒咒!"
"Not bad!" Sensing Bada Butterfly's perseverance and determination, Naoki smiled and touched its head: "Then keep working hard, and I will help you."
Bada Huo: "咒咒咒咿!"
The time came to noon unknowingly.
Naoki returned to the house and started preparing lunch. While handling the ingredients, he thought about what happened recently.
The evolution of the green caterpillar made him realize one thing: all the Pokémon in the pasture can evolve.
Mini Fu evolves into Oliva, the mount lamb evolves into the mount goat, and the salt stone treasure evolves into the salt stone giant.
After evolving, the food intake and output of these Pokémon will be greatly increased.
But in reality, there is no level or experience, and Naoki has no way to judge which stage they have grown to, so he can only wait slowly.
However, it is so satisfying and exciting to train all these Pokémon to the final stage!
Perhaps, this is the joy of cultivation.
Today is February 5th, and there are still two days until the Cherry Blossom Wine Party.
The work in the ranch was not too busy. Taking this opportunity, Zhi Shu and Kuailong began to pay attention to the weather, looking forward to it raining tomorrow.
However, what is regrettable is that it has been sunny for two consecutive days. Let alone rain, the sky has never been cloudy at all.
This made Kuailong feel very sad.
In this sunny weather, the pace of time finally came to the day when the Cherry Blossom Wine Party was held.
It was the first time to participate in such a large-scale event, and Naoki couldn't help but start to look forward to it.
The letter said that ranchers could bring some specialties from their ranches to sell at stalls there.
Naoki looked at his mediocre pasture and fell into deep thought.
What should he bring to sell?
Turnips? Tomatoes? Cucumbers? Or eggs?
No, these are too common. He is not the only one with nearby farms and ranches. There must be others who sell these vegetable crops.
So, what about goat milk and rock salt?
Naoki thought it was feasible, but it still lacked some new ideas.
And at this moment, he suddenly thought of the dish he made yesterday, the boiled meat slices that made Flame Ace eat fire-breathing meat!
Although there are Chinese restaurants in the Padya area, there are not too many of them. In addition, the taste has been slightly changed according to the local people's eating habits, so it is not authentic.
Sharing the delicacies of your hometown with people nearby should be considered in line with the theme of the Cherry Blossom Wine Party, right?
Moreover, the price of Chinese food like this is much higher than that of ordinary crops, so you can make a lot of money in one day!
Thinking of this, Naoki immediately started to make preparations.
At seven o'clock in the morning, there is still one hour left before the Cherry Blossom Wine Party.
Naoki was riding Guluton with a bag full of Poké Balls in his pocket.
The Frost Milk Fairy, Mini Fu and Salt Stone in the Poké Ball are looking forward to today's event.
After they heard that Naoki was going out, they immediately said that they also wanted to come and have a look.
So, except for the three mount lambs that were not interested in the Pokémon in the pasture, Naoki brought all the others over.
Following the location given in the letter, Zhishu soon arrived at the Erif cherry orchard.
It is a very large park with a large number of cherry trees and cherry blossom trees planted in the park.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Pink cherry blossoms are in full bloom on the cherry tree, and strings of heavy, red cherries hang on the cherry tree.
From a long distance, Zhi Shu could see the specially set aside space in the cherry orchard.
The open space is large, with wrought iron booth display racks neatly placed on it.
At this time, many people had gathered in the venue, most of whom were farmers from several nearby farms.
Erif, the owner of the cherry orchard, was busy entertaining them.
At this time, he suddenly saw a guy riding an unknown Pokémon slowly descending from the sky.
At first, Elif was still a little confused, but when he saw the man's appearance clearly and combined with what Mayor Thomas had said to him, his heart moved and he guessed: "Naoki?"
Naoki looked at the strong man with a big brown beard in front of him, guessed his identity in his heart, and greeted politely: "Hello, Mr. Elif."
"Haha!" Seeing that he guessed correctly, Erif showed a hearty smile on his face, "I finally met you! Forgive me for not going to your ranch to say hello to you. You know, this season is when cherries are ripe.
, we have to be busy harvesting, but we are done now, you are welcome to join us, Naoki!"
Naoki smiled.
At this time, Erif was a little surprised when he saw what he was holding in his hand: "Cuisine? It's really good! I can already smell the aroma. We have prepared a stall for everyone in advance. You can just pick an empty seat."
Come on! Everyone in the town and tourists from other cities will be coming here in a while, and there are also many trainers passing by here!"
"OK!"
Zhi Shu nodded and took Gu Lerton to find an empty stall at random.
He took the pots and ingredients out of the space backpack and placed them on the stall. After everything was ready, Naoki took out a few Pokémon balls and released them all.
"Everyone, come out!"
Following a flash of white light, Salt Stone Treasure and Frost Milk Fairy appeared behind the stall.
They felt the lively atmosphere and had happy expressions on their faces.
Naoki picked up the five salt gems and lined them up in a row on the stall to serve as the facade, while Frost Milk Fairy and Mini Fu stood behind them to decorate the stall.
The Motorized Lizard and Gulton stood beside Naoki, one on the left and one on the right, to help him.
Kuailong sat behind the stall. He had nothing to do, so he rested against a cherry blossom tree.
Bada Butterfly stayed on top of the stall, looking curiously at the people nearby.
Today's dish Naoki prepared [boiled meat slices] that can provide energy for fire-type Pokémon, [tree juice] that restores physical strength and quenches thirst, [tomato scrambled eggs] that are sour and sweet to increase appetite, and
It's extremely smooth and tender, making the Pokémon's body slippery [Steamed Egg].
The price of each dish varies. The most expensive one is the boiled pork slices, which costs 1,200 alliance coins. Since the portion is not large, Zhi Shu does not sell it too expensively.
Naoki hung a sign in front of the stall with the price written in advance.
Everything is ready, just waiting for people to come!
At this time, an old lady with blond hair and a peaceful face attracted attention.
She walked over on crutches, looked at the neat rows of salt gems in front of the stall, smiled and praised: "Wow, what cute little guys! Are they all your Pokémon?"
"
Naoki introduced with a smile: "Yes, they live with me in the ranch. When they heard about this event, they followed me here to participate."
The old lady wanted to say something more, but a childish voice came from the side: "Dad, look there! Kuailong! It's Kuailong! There are also Bada Butterfly and Frost Milk Fairy, wow! There are many salt and stone treasures, they
He looks so well-behaved! He is motionless there, so obedient!"
Naoki looked up and saw a little girl about seven years old running over happily holding an adult's hand.
She looked at the Frosted Milk Fairy on the stall and couldn't help but said: "So cute!"
"Mama~" Frost Milk Fairy showed a happy expression.
The man behind her looked at Gulton and asked in surprise: "What kind of Pokémon is this?"
Naoki smiled and introduced: "It's called Gulton, and he is my most reliable partner."
Hearing the three words "the most reliable", Leden immediately straightened his back.
"Ah gah!"
Yes, it is Naoki's most reliable partner and his favorite Pokémon!
"Guluton?" Upon hearing this unfamiliar name, the man murmured: "I've never heard of it before..."
Compared to the scary-looking Pokémon like Gullton, the little girl obviously prefers the cute Pokémon like Frostnoodle.
She looked at the Frost Milk Fairy with longing.
The Cream Fairy cleverly pointed to the sign in front of the stall: "Mama~"
The girl looked around and saw the sign with the names of the dishes written on it. She asked cutely: "Do you want me to buy the dishes above?"
so cute!
Buy buy buy!
The girl turned around and shouted: "Dad! I'm hungry!"
man:"……"
He took out his wallet as if resigned to his fate and bought a glass of juice and a bowl of steamed eggs for his beloved daughter.
The father and daughter turned around to see the cherry blossoms.
Naoki, on the other hand, looked at each other sympathetically with the Frost Milk Fairy, and gave it a look of good work.
Frost Milk Fairy looked proud: "Mama~"
It is very smart!
As time goes by, more and more people come to this cherry orchard.
In addition to people, there are also a large number of Pokémon here.
Some are carried by passing trainers, just like when Ash heard about competitions and activities held in nearby towns while traveling, he would take Pikachu to visit.
Some are Pokémon raised in Erif's cherry orchard, such as Sakura and Sakura, who are small and about the same size as Salt and Stone, as well as a Twist dog that hangs out nearby and guards the cherry orchard.
Twist dogs, evolved from paparazzi dogs, can emit a charming aroma from their bodies. This aroma helps the growth of wheat and some crops, so they are quite valued in rural areas.
There are also some wild Pokémon that live nearby.
For example, attracted by the lively environment, there are groups of angry parrots staying on the branches, insects rolling mud on the muddy ground in the forest, etc.
The cocktail party had not officially started yet, Naoki was sitting on the bench, curiously looking at the Pokémon carried by the trainers.
"Xinye Miao, the three grass-attribute royal families in the Padia region..."
"Is that a carnival dancing duck? Butt feels so weird..."
"Wow, a trainer actually subdued Tan Xiaoshi. I wonder if this Tan Xiaoshi will evolve into a Blue Flame Blade Demon or a Red Lotus Armored Cavalry."
"Electric Belly Frog? Qishu's signature Pokémon."
"One, two, three, four, five, six, six tails. Sure enough, there are six tails. They are fluffy and so cute! I wish I could ravage them hard."
He held Vulpix in his arms and kissed her like crazy, and slept with him every night, just like holding a cat.
Unfortunately, that Vulpix was not his Pokémon, Naoki could only think about it in his heart.
Looking at the Vulpix held in the trainer's arms with two soft little paws hanging down, Naoki felt envious in his heart.
Unknowingly, the time came to eight o'clock.
The owner of this cherry orchard, Erif, looked at the growing crowd and announced cheerfully:
"Welcome everyone to the Erif Cherry Orchard, and now I announce! This year's Cherry Blossom Wine Festival has officially begun, please enjoy it!"
At the same time, Naoki also welcomed his second guest.
A male trainer with a lion cub and wearing an Orange Academy uniform.
