Not a trainer this time.

Chapter 596 The Birth of the Divine Beast Girl
After hanging up the phone with Yeci, Naoki set off for home.

The carriage was filled with food and daily necessities. The New Year was approaching, and Naoki planned to stay at the ranch for the next period of time and not go out, because this kind of cold weather was best for staying at home over the winter.

In the afternoon, snowflakes began to fall from the sky again. Naoki called all the Pokémon into the house, closed the doors and windows, and blocked out all the cold wind.

While the Pokémon were playing on the floor, Naoki was in the kitchen, cooking a delicious mushroom soup in a pot.

This autumn he picked a lot of wild mushrooms in the back mountain. He hung all the mushrooms under the eaves to dry and made them into dried mushrooms.

After a good night's sleep, Baby Bear, Mew, and Victini regained their original energetic appearance.

While Naoki was making soup, they sat in front of the fireplace in the living room with Babutu and the others, telling the other Pokémon about the things they encountered and the friends they made during their travels.

Seeing how vividly they were talking, Naoki, out of curiosity, secretly ate several pieces of translation melon seed crisps and eavesdropped on their conversation.

There is no way. The Power of Evergreen can only sense the general thoughts of Pokémon, and there is also a distance requirement. You must get close to the Pokémon or touch them to understand them.

In comparison, the translation of melon seeds crisps has a wider range of applications.

"miu!" (We met a Pokémon that sang beautifully. It was captured by the bad guys, and we helped it defeat the bad guys! To thank us, it gave us a beautiful song!)

"Yi-mo!" (That's right! Its name is Meloetta. We originally wanted to invite it to live in the World Tree, but it refused and returned to the forest with a human to live a secluded life.)
Meloetta? Naoki was slightly stunned. Was it the Meloetta he knew?
If he remembered correctly, while Team Plasma was taking action in the Unova region, Sakaki of Team Rocket was also secretly taking action in the Unova region.

He formulated the "Storm Plan" and wanted to obtain the Apparition Mirror through Meloetta to control the Three Cloud Gods in the Unova region.

Unexpectedly, we were stopped by the hero expedition team...

Sakaki would probably be pissed to death, but what made Naoki even more curious was what kind of expression he would have when he saw a living dream.

Because the Rockets are somehow deeply connected to fantasy.

Sakaki's mother, the first founder of Team Rocket, accidentally learned that Mew was real, so she sent Musashi's mother Miyamoto to look for it.

However, during the mission, Miyamoto encountered a blizzard and never returned. She died in the mission that year when Musashi was only five years old.

It was during that opportunity that Team Rocket obtained the dreamy eyelash fossil. After Sakaki took over Team Rocket, he began to implement the cloning plan and created the "strongest Pokémon" Mewtwo.

"Menghuan, did that group of bad guys see you?" Naoki asked from a distance.

"Miu?" Menghuan shook her head: "Miu!"

It turned into a Toucan, and when the bad guys wanted to attack it, it turned into a Groudon.

Then the bad guys were scared away by it!
Naoki: "..."

That's fine.

Qi Shu was confused: "Bad guy? Did Menghuan meet a bad guy?"

"miu!" Mew nodded repeatedly. He was a bad guy who specialized in catching Pokémon!

Naoki explained: "If I'm not mistaken, the bad guys that Dream is talking about should be Team Rocket."

"Team Rocket?"

"Well, they are a criminal gang active in the Kanto and Johto regions. They are very large in scale. I heard that they have already infiltrated the Kanto Alliance and the Johto Alliance." Naoki said.

Hearing this, Qi Shu immediately exclaimed: "No way? Even the alliance has been infiltrated?"

"There's no way. The alliance was just established in the early years and the situation was still unstable. It was quite chaotic back then! Some organizations that profited from catching Pokémon came into being and have continued to this day." Naoki said.

To date, the Pokémon Leagues in various places have only been established for a little over two hundred years, while Team Rocket has obviously existed for sixty or seventy years.

"Then our Padia Alliance shouldn't be infiltrated, right?" Qi Shu was very worried.

Naoki smiled and comforted him, "Of course not. Based on my previous travel experience, the security of the Padiya Alliance is one of the best in all regions. Moreover, Kanto is so far away from us, it would be very difficult for Team Rocket to infiltrate."

What's more, there is a chief champion like Ye Ci above.

When it comes to the professionalism of the champions of the major leagues, I would rank second, and no one dares to claim to be first.

She would never allow that to happen.

And even if Team Rocket infiltrates, they will probably be sent out by Ye Ci to do work the next day, doing the work of several people alone, and then become the second Aoki.

"That's good." Qi Shu breathed a sigh of relief.

Naoki looked at the Thunder God lying on the soft carpet not far away and asked casually:

"Thunder God, thank you very much for your help during this period. The work at the gym has been completed. What are your plans for the future?"

By next March, when the baby is born and Qi Shu's health recovers and the gym is reopened, he will no longer be needed to take over.

Of course, everything depends on the health of Qishu.

Hearing this, Lei Gong stood up silently and replied: "Everything must be done according to the orders of Lord Feng Wang."

After nearly ten months of living together, its attitude towards humans has slightly changed.

It turns out that not all humans are like that. There are still people in this world who love Pokémon so much and treat every Pokémon with care.

Is Naoki trying to chase it away? Lei Gong thought silently, feeling inexplicably reluctant.

Ho-Oh? Ho-Oh hasn't communicated with him for a long time, but in winter, Ho-Oh should also be nesting in the World Tree, right?
Suicune and Entei might be there too.

Thinking of this, Naoki invited: "In that case, why don't you stay at the ranch to celebrate the New Year this year? Everyone is here! It will definitely be very lively then!"

"Thank you very much." Lei Gong felt relieved and his tone was very polite.

It turns out that Naoki didn't mean to drive it away.

Last year, Baby Bear and Dream ran off to the Mystery Maze and didn't spend the New Year with them, but this year they stayed behind along with Victini.

Jirachi, Farfetch'd, and Oliva are all here, making this year's New Year's Pokémon more complete than ever before.

Naoki was very happy and bought several more barrels of fireworks, preparing to have a great time on the ranch.

The 202nd year of the League Calendar came to an end as Naoki had expected.

On New Year's Day, it was a rare day without snow, and early in the morning, Naoki began to busy himself in the kitchen.

Some Pokémon stayed with Naoki to help, some Pokémon happily played hide-and-seek in the snow maze that Naoki built for them, and some Pokémon took out greeting letters from the townspeople from the mailbox.

Some Pokémon from the World Tree also came to visit the ranch.

Entei and Suicune were curious about the ranch, so they came to see the Rainbow Hero and to observe how Raikou was living here.

Chansey, who was serving as a doctor on the tree, also returned home and shared his eggs with the Pokémon on the ranch.

Babu Tubo's parents also came here to reunite with him.

For a moment, the whole ranch seemed extremely lively.

These Pokémon reminded Naoki of the Chinese New Year scenes when he was a child. At that time, his parents were busy in the kitchen preparing the New Year's Eve dinner, while he and his friends were having fun outside with firecrackers and fireworks.

Now it's his turn, he becomes the adult and the Pokémon become the children.

Thinking of this, Zhishu was filled with emotion. Qishu sat on the sofa, stroking his belly, and watching the scene around him with a smile.

In order to make Qishu happy, after learning that his father-in-law and mother-in-law would also celebrate the New Year alone, Naoki secretly invited them to the ranch to celebrate the New Year together.

When Qishu saw her parents, she was stunned and looked at the scene in disbelief.

"Silly child, what are you standing there for? Don't you recognize us?" Qishu's mother said with a smile.

Qishu reacted quickly. She turned around and looked at Naoki, and sure enough, she saw a familiar smile on his face.

At this moment, Qishu only felt that she was surrounded by great happiness. She went forward and hugged her mother, shouting happily: "Mom."

"Hey, good girl, go and have a rest!" Qishu's mother helped her daughter sit on the sofa.

The father-in-law was also watching this scene with a gentle expression. He looked at his son-in-law and nodded with satisfaction.

He could see that their daughter was living very happily here.

Naoki smiled, turned around and went back to the kitchen to continue cooking. After a while, Qishu's mother also came to the kitchen to help cook, and the two of them prepared a large table of dishes together.

The family had a meal together. In the afternoon, after Qishu's mother gave her daughter some instructions, she returned to Niaoguang City with her husband.

After they left, Qi Shu turned around and threw himself into Naoki's arms: "Thank you."

Naoki patted her back gently and said, "We are all family, there is no need to say thank you or not."

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

A bright smile immediately spread across Qi Shu's face: "I'm really happy to meet you!"

At this moment, Qishu suddenly felt a pain in her stomach, and then a hot current flowed down her thigh, and she hissed.

"What's wrong?" Naoki immediately realized something was wrong.

Qi Shu lowered his head, looked at his legs, and said in a trembling voice: "The amniotic fluid has broken, and the baby is about to be born!"

Hearing this, Naoki felt a buzzing sound in his head.

He quickly kept calm, turned around and looked around, and said to his sister Ai Guanshi: "Sister, please help me take care of it, I'll go drive!"

"Ai Ai!" The younger sister Ai Guanshi was also very nervous at this moment.

Naoki quickly brought a blanket and placed it on the passenger seat. He inserted the car key into the keyhole, drove the car quickly to Qishu's side, then got out and carried Qishu into the car.

My sister Ai Guanshi looked worried.

Naoki started the car and said to it, "Sister, help me take care of the house. Don't worry, it's okay!"

"Ai Ya!" The younger sister Ai Guanshi nodded repeatedly.

After saying that, Naoki started the car quickly. Gulden, who followed him habitually not far away, seemed to have sensed something when he saw this scene. It seemed to have sensed something, and ran forward quickly on the snow, and jumped onto the back of the car a second before it started.

The car had already started at this time. Naoki heard the noise and looked back, and saw Gulden leaning on the car to look at him.

"Gulden? Why are you following me? It's so cold outside!" Naoki asked.

However, the only response he got was "Ah, gash."

Naoki had no choice but to drive Gulden out of the ranch. He also called his father-in-law and mother-in-law who had just left to tell them that Qishu was about to give birth!

Soon, the car arrived at the hospital in Ziqin Town.

When they heard that someone was about to give birth, the nurses on duty immediately pushed the pregnant woman into the operating room.

Before entering the operating room, Naoki held Qishu's hand tightly and said, "Don't worry, it's okay, Pokémon and I are by your side."

Qishu was already sweating. She held Zhishu's hand tightly, nodded slightly, and then was sent to the operating room by a nurse wearing a nurse's cap.

Naoki forced himself to calm down, so Lewon stayed by his side and also looked towards the operating room.

After a while, Qishu's parents also hurried over. After hearing the current situation, they accompanied Naoki and waited anxiously outside.

About an hour later, accompanied by a loud cry, the door of the operating room was opened, and a nurse came out holding a blanket and said to the waiting family members:

"Congratulations, it's a girl!"

Zhishu stood up immediately, and when he saw the child for the first time, he was stunned.

This child... is it his child?
He became a father...

An unprecedented strange feeling rose from the bottom of Naoki's heart. He reacted quickly, raised his head and asked:

"Where's my wife?"

"Don't worry, the mother is healthy. She's inside. Do you want to go see her?" asked the nurse.

Zhishu nodded and said, "Mom and Dad, you guys take care of the baby first, I'll go check on Qishu!"

"it is good!"

The couple quickly took the baby from the nurse and were equally excited.

They are going to be grandparents!
Naoki walked quickly into the operating room and saw Qishu lying there. He quickly checked Qishu's condition and was relieved to see that she was just a little pale and there was nothing serious wrong with her.

"how do you feel?"

Qishu had just given birth and didn't have much strength now. She gently held Zhishu's hand and said softly, "Where's the baby?"

"My parents are here too. The baby is with them. Don't worry, the baby is healthy. It's a girl. We'll call her Xiaoshu from now on."

The couple had thought of this name a long time ago.

If it's a girl, call her Xiaoshu, if it's a boy, call him Youshu.

Qi Shu slowly closed her eyes, and then opened them again. She felt relieved and said in a very light voice: "I'm so sleepy..."

"Then let's get some sleep, mom and dad are here too." Naoki said softly.

After hearing this, Qishu fell asleep peacefully.

Almost immediately, Doll pushed her into the ward, and Naoki followed.

Qishu's parents and Gultun also came here.

Naoki then looked seriously at the child in his arms, and with excitement, he reached out and gently touched her little hand.

"Ah gah?"

"Gulton, you can also touch her. Her name is Xiaoshu and she is our child." Naoki said to it.

There was an unprecedented tenderness in Gulerton's golden pupils. He stretched out his claws very lightly and gently touched the baby's hand.

At this moment, Gulerton said to the child in front of him in his heart:

"Ah, gah." (My dear little master, I am back.)
