Not a trainer this time.

Chapter 571: Pregnant, changed to a gym leader, and collected six electric-attribute Pokémon?
March 202, 3 in the Alliance Calendar, the last day of spring. The Brewing Light Gym was closed today, so Qishu stayed in the ranch and helped Zhishu with some simple work.

After spring, the hot summer follows. Before the change of seasons, all crops in the farmland must be harvested and picked, and then summer crop seeds must be sown.

Together, the couple piled the harvested crops into the warehouse, and then went to the orchard to pick the ripe fruits.

Qishu goes to the chicken hut to collect eggs with the help of Babu Tubo, while Zhishu goes to the underground cave where the salt stone giant and the three moles live to collect rock salt.

By the time everything was done, it was already noon.

Qishu took out a handkerchief from somewhere, stood on tiptoe to wipe the sweat off Zhishu's face, and then said with a smile:

"Are you tired? I'm going to cook. I've just learned two new dishes. Let me show you my cooking skills!"

Naoki bent down to help Qishu wipe his sweat, a smile appeared on his face, and he said, "Okay, then I'll go to the apple orchard to see how the apples are growing."

"Yeah, go ahead!"

Qishu went home to cook, while Zhishu took Gulden to the apple orchard on the other side of the river.

There are many apple trees planted here, and each of them bears large and plump apples. After being cultivated by Naoki and his riding goat, the quality of the apples is no less than that of the red apples in Kitakami Township.

But often these top-quality apples will attract a lot of Pokémon, and fruitworms are one of them.

There had been a fruit-eating worm on the tree before, but it had evolved into a honey dragon and was sent by Naoki to live on the World Tree.

After carefully inspecting the apple orchard, Naoki indeed saw several newly arrived fruit borers.

Gu Leton went forward and sniffed their bodies. The fruitworms were frightened and immediately shrank back, trembling there.

Naoki: "..."

"Okay, Gulden, stop scaring people." Naoki said helplessly.

Naoki had no intention of driving away these Pokémon.

The fact that fruit borers are willing to move in shows that the apples in his garden are growing well and that fruit borers have a small appetite. If the scale is not particularly large, the damage caused to the apple orchard will be minimal.

As for whether the fruit-eating worms will multiply in large numbers in the future and become a disaster...

Naoki thought it would be better to talk about it later!
At worst, he could call on new trainers to come to the ranch to challenge him and entrust them to capture the fruit-eating worms.

After inspecting the apple orchard, Naoki went to the braided sheep ranch to check on the condition of the braided sheep.

This group of braided sheep were lying leisurely on the hillside, basking in the sun and eating grass.

Just looking at them makes people feel relaxed and happy, and even their mood improves.

Naoki stayed here for a while, and soon he heard Qishu's cry.

"It's time to eat!"

Naoki stood up and said to Gulerton with a smile:

"Let's go, let's go back!"

"Ah, gash!" Gulden immediately stood up and followed.

When they returned home with their Pokémon, their sister, the butler, had already put the food on the table.

The table was filled with food and looked very sumptuous.

Qi Shu grinned and said, "How is it? My sister and I prepared it together!"

"Ai Ai~" The younger sister Ai Guanshi beside her also nodded happily.

Steamed sea bass, fried pork chop, mapo tofu, cucumber salad, steamed egg with shrimp... It looked very rich. Naoki gave a thumbs up without hesitation: "That's amazing!"

"Hey, look who I am! Hurry up and call everyone back for dinner! I've also prepared special goat milk snacks for Babu Tubo and Eevee!"

As Qishu was talking, the expression on her face suddenly became a little ugly. A feeling of nausea came over her, and she subconsciously covered her mouth.

"Ah gah?"

Gulton and Electric-bellied Frog, who were waiting for their meal, immediately looked over here.

Hmm? Noticing this, Zhishu frowned and quickly stepped forward to pat Qishu on the back:
"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell? Are you tired from working this morning? Don't do it next time. Just leave it all to me."

After a long while, the feeling subsided a little, and Qi Shu looked a little listless.

"I don't know what's going on lately..."

Hearing this, Gulden seemed to understand something. It suddenly realized something and cast its eyes towards the belly of the strange tree: "Ah, gah!"

After it made such a cry, other Pokémon around also looked over.

Motorcycle Lizard, Sister Love Butler, Fairy Eevee, Babu Groundhog...

"Huh?" Qi Shu looked puzzled: "What's wrong with my stomach?"

Seeing this, Naoki was stunned, and suddenly an unbelievable thought popped up in his mind.

Could it be...?!

The next second, their eyes met, and Qishu miraculously understood what Naoki meant.

Vomiting, fatigue, loss of appetite... Could she be pregnant?

"This can't be true, right?" Qi Shu felt as if he was dreaming.

"I don't know. Let's go to the hospital for a checkup after dinner." Naoki forced himself to calm down and helped Qishu sit down: "Are you feeling better now? See if there's anything you want to eat. If not, I'll make it for you."

"Hehe!" Qi Shu laughed foolishly: "I want to eat the boiled fish you make!"

"Wait, I'll do it right away." Naoki looked at Babu Tubo and Gultun and said, "Eat first, don't wait for me!"

He hurried to the kitchen, took out the fish he had bought from the Ziqin Market that morning from the refrigerator, and started cooking.

At the dining table, Qishu stroked his belly with a look of curiosity on his face.

Is she really going to have a baby?

The Pokémon nearby also realized what had happened belatedly.

My sister Ai Guanshi showed a happy expression on her face: "Ai ah~" It seems that there will be a little life in the family soon~
Gu Leton is very much looking forward to it. Little master, will he be able to see you soon?
The scene of the last separation is still vivid in my mind. The little master pulled its paw and asked it when it would come back...

And now, it really wants to say to its little master: It's back.

Babu Tubo was full of curiosity. It also has a father and a mother, so it knows what it means to have a baby.

Naoki’s children… can they become good friends in the future like in “Warm Lava Bug House”?
"Bamo!" I'm so excited! Then they can play hide-and-seek together!

Naoki quickly made a boiled fish. After lunch, he left the affairs of the ranch to the Ai Guanshi siblings, and drove with Qishu to the Ziqin Town Hospital accompanied by Gulton and Motorcycle Lizard.

The doctor at the hospital was startled by Gulden. After understanding the purpose of their visit, he began to examine Qishu.

Soon, the results came out.

"Congratulations, this lady is already pregnant." The doctor looked at the young couple with a smile.

Hearing this, Naoki felt a loud bang and was stunned.

What? She's really pregnant...

Does this mean that he is going to be a father soon? !
A picture emerged in Naoki's mind of a lovely child in the future holding his hand and calling him dad in a childish voice, and he suddenly felt tears welling up in his eyes.

Very good!
"Be careful when you go back. Don't overwork. Get more rest and replenish your nutrition so that the baby can grow up healthily." the doctor advised.

"Okay!" Naoki got excited and said to Qishu on the way back: "From today on, you should rest at home, don't go to the gym, and ask Yeci for maternity leave!"

Although Qi Shu was also very excited, he was speechless when he saw Zhi Shu like this: "...How can it be so exaggerated?"

"You heard what the doctor said." Naoki repeated, "Remember to rest and don't overwork. Ziqin Town is so far from Niangguang City, and Kuailong is flying too fast. What if you get sick if you're not careful?"

"I shouldn't be that fragile, right?" Qishu felt a little unconfident after hearing this. She originally thought it was nothing.

"We still need to be more careful." As he said that, Naoki took out his cell phone, called Ye Ci, explained the situation to her, and wanted to help Qishu apply for a long vacation.

"Congratulations." Ye Ci's smiling voice came: "It's just... if the Niangguang Gym is not operated for such a long time, it will affect this year's league competition."

Ye Ci's voice sounded somewhat embarrassed.

This year, the Padia League has undergone reforms and is preparing to hold a league tournament similar to other regions, allowing trainers who have collected eight badges to compete to determine the strongest one.

And now, there is a problem at the Brewing Light Gym...

Qi Shu also felt that this was a bit bad: "It's not that exaggerated! I feel pretty good now, and Pokémon battles don't require intense exercise, you just need to use your mouth to command."

Naoki: "..."

He began to wonder if he was too nervous.

Ye Ci on the other end of the phone listened to the conversation between the couple, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

She pretended to be nonchalant and said, "However, if you can find an excellent trainer to help take care of the Brewing Light Gym, I think Qi Shu can have a good rest."

"What?" Naoki and Qishu were both slightly stunned. Yeci explained, "In the Padia region, this kind of thing is allowed. Qishu's gym is an electric gym. As long as you find a trainer with six electric Pokémon and whose strength is not lower than the gym owner level, he can help Qishu take over."

Can this be done?
Naoki was surprised, but the problem was, where could he find a trainer who met the requirements to be the temporary leader of the Brewing Light Gym?
and many more!

Naoki suddenly thought of something.

Although he is not a professional trainer, he has some electric-attribute Pokémon around him, and their strength is not lower than that of gym leaders.

So, can he?
Thinking of this, Naoki asked, "Can I?"

Hearing this, Qi Shu was slightly stunned and looked over in disbelief.

Ye Ci on the other end of the phone said with a smile: "Of course! Naoki's strength is obvious to all of us. As long as you have six electric-attribute Pokémon, you can help Qi Shu take over."

Electric Pokémon...

Babu-Dog counts as one, Jolteon counts as one, and Zapdos is currently on the World Tree and can also come over to help.

In addition, there is Pikachu brought by Mewtwo, but including the Pokémon on the World Tree, there are currently only four Pokémon in the ranch.

"Of course, it's not limited to electric-attribute Pokémon." At this time, Ye Ci spoke again: "If the attribute of a Pokémon when it crystallizes is electric, then it can also appear in gym battles!"

This solved Naoki's urgent problem. With so many Pokémon on the ranch and the World Tree, there must be some Taijingdian Pokémon.

In that case, he just needs to go back and use the Taicrystal Energy to see which other Pokémon is Taicrystal Electric.

Thinking of this, Naoki agreed: "Okay, I'll take your place."

"Then it's settled!" Ye Ci said with a smile, "I'll go and register the gym owner information for you right now. The Niangguang Gym can take a temporary break for three days. During these three days, you can get familiar with the job of gym owner with Qi Shu, and then you can go directly to the gym to receive challengers."

"Okay." Naoki nodded and agreed.

After the call was hung up, the smile on Ye Ci's face could no longer be concealed.

"I am indeed a person with foresight." Ye Ci said.

Xin Li: "..."

*
After returning to the ranch, Naoki immediately began to use the Taijing beads to check the Taijing attributes of the Pokémon in the ranch.

From a mounted goat to a saltstone golem, and from a saltstone golem to a braided sheep.

However, after checking for a long time, Naoki regretfully discovered that there was not a single Pokémon in the ranch with the attribute of Taijingdian...

Qi Shu followed behind and said, "If it doesn't work, I can also let you command the electric-bellied frogs!"

"Don't worry, I'll go to the World Tree and have a look." Naoki replied: "If it really doesn't work, then we'll talk about it."

After that, he passed through the reversed world and went to the World Tree, where he conducted a Taijing attribute test on the Pokémon there.

Milotic is Crystal Ice, Milotic is Crystal Dragon, Oliva is Crystal Grass, Charizard is Crystal Flying...

Seeing how lively it was here, Jirachi also ran over to join in the fun.

Naoki checked it, and with a flash of bright light, a large yellow light bulb with a lightning rune appeared above Jirachi's head.

"Huh?" Jirachi looked up at his head in confusion.

Naoki breathed a sigh of relief as the fifth "electric" Pokémon was found.

"Jirachi, would you be willing to do me a favor?" Naoki asked.

"Of course! Jirachi is willing!" Jirachi answered lively, because Naoki had helped it, so now it was its turn to help Naoki!

Naoki breathed a sigh of relief.

Baboon, Jolteon, Zapdos, Pikachu, and Jirachi.

"..."

The only problem is that these Pokémon are too powerful, which may be difficult for challengers, but the Brewing Light Gym is an electric gym and can only use electric Pokémon...

Whatever, those trainers will just suffer for these ten months, at worst he will just let them off a bit later!

Including Jirachi, there are currently five Electric-type Pokémon.

He only needs one more to have six electric-attribute Pokémon.

However, fate often plays tricks on people. After checking for an entire afternoon, Naoki did not see any electric Pokémon.

Although Babuto's parents are also Electric-type Pokémon, they work on the World Tree and are old, which is the age for them to enjoy a good life in retirement, so they are not suitable for fierce Pokémon battles.

Naoki said goodbye to everyone on the World Tree and returned to the ranch.

"Have you found it?" Qishu asked.

Naoki shook his head: "One more is missing."

"Then I'll leave the Electric-Belly Frog to your command!" Qishu said. She had already talked to the Electric-Belly Frog today, and the Electric-Belly Frog gladly accepted this.

Naoki was just about to say hello, but at this moment, he suddenly received a message from Ho-oh.

[Ho-Oh: Naoki, are you looking for electric-attribute Pokémon? ]

Naoki was slightly startled.

[Ho-Oh: Jirachi told me that he was happy to help you.]

[King Yi: Yes, we are still missing the last one. ]

[Ho-Oh: I see. I think I can help you with this matter.]

The Phoenix King refers to Thunder God. Judging from the time, Thunder God and his men should be arriving at the ranch soon, right?
It just so happens that Thunder God can do the Rainbow Hero a favor and let them get to know each other better.

However, Naoki failed to understand what Ho-Oh meant.

【King Yi: What?】

[Ho-Oh: You will see it soon. ]

When Naoki saw this message, he was stunned.

See it? What is Ho-Oh talking about? Judging from its meaning, could it be that a Pokémon is on the way to the ranch?

Wait! Naoki suddenly thought of an electric-type Pokémon related to Ho-Oh.

It couldn't be referring to Thunder God, one of the three sacred beasts, right?

What's going on? Are the Thunder Gods on their way to the ranch?

Naoki was a little confused. After some contemplation, he quickly calmed down and decided to observe the situation before making a decision.

As for now...it's time for him to name his baby!

Late at night, Naoki was sitting at his desk looking up information.

Seeing this scene, Qi Shu was very helpless: "Isn't it too early to name it now?"

"Too early?" Naoki asked in confusion: "If you wake up now, you won't have to worry about it later!"

Qishu thought about it carefully and found that it was indeed the case, so she also joined the naming queue.

In the end, the couple selected more than a dozen names together.

Yingshu, Youshu, Youshu, Xiaoshu, Youshu...

Looking at these names, both Naoki and Qishu were a little undecided.

"How about calling the girl Youshu and the boy Youshu?" Qishu suggested, but within a few seconds, she shook her head again: "Xiaoshu seems to be a good name too! I want both!"

Naoki: "..."

He shook his head helplessly, thought about it carefully, and suddenly noticed Gulden beside him out of the corner of his eye.

Naoki took the paper to Gulerton.

"Ah, gah?" Gulden raised his head.

Naoki smiled and said to it, "Gulden, we are going to give the baby in our belly a name, but we are still undecided about what to call it. Do you have any favorites?"

As he spoke, Naoki read out the name on the paper.

"Yushu, Yushu, Xiaoshu..."

Hearing these names, Gulden blinked, looked down at the paper in front of him, the image of his little master appeared in his mind, and then he raised his big paw without hesitation and placed it on one of the names.

"Xiao Shu?" Qi Shu was very surprised when she saw the name: "Xiao Shu...Xiao Shu, hehe, it seems not bad, it sounds quite cute!"

Gu Leton nodded in agreement: "Ah gah!"

"In that case, it's decided." Seeing the look of one man and one Pokémon, Naoki said with a smile: "If it's a girl, call him Xiaoshu, if it's a boy, call him Youshu!"
