Not a trainer this time.

Chapter 597: Child, when you were born, the whole world was calling your name
On the hospital bed, Qi Shu, who had just given birth, was still sleeping. Beside the bed was an incubator of the same model as the one in Pokémon, and the child was already asleep inside.

Qishu's parents stood by and looked at their granddaughter with loving smiles. Even the father-in-law, who always had a stern face, showed a gentle smile at this moment.

Naoki thought that Qishu would have no strength after giving birth, so he left the place to his mother-in-law and father-in-law to take care of, and he took Gulton back home and cooked a pot of nourishing goat milk porridge in the small kitchen of his home.

The Pokémon in the ranch didn't know what was going on, but when they saw Naoki coming back, they all ran up to ask.

"Bamo?"

"miu?"

"One?"

"..."

While Zhishu was cooking porridge, he replied with a smile: "Qishu's baby was born!"

Upon hearing this, the Pokémon around immediately showed shocked expressions on their faces.

They all turned their heads and looked around, trying to find the baby, but found nothing.

"miu?" (Where's the baby?) Menghuan asked.

"They're in the hospital. Do you want to go see them?" Naoki asked as he poured the cooked porridge into the thermos bucket.

"Miu!" A group of Pokémon, led by Mew, nodded repeatedly.

"Okay, I'll take you there." Naoki said with a smile.

Babu Groundhog, Dream, Baby Bear, Victini, Frostmilk, Motor Lizard, Dragonite, Frog, Dream Demon, Magneto...

Hearing Naoki's words, Lei Gong, who had been watching silently not far away, also stood up and walked towards that side.

Entei and Suicune, who came over as guests, looked puzzled.

"What do you do?" they asked.

Lei Gong's voice was deep and full of magnetism: "Child of the Rainbow Warrior, don't you want to take a look?"

A minute later, just as Naoki put all the Pokémon in his house into the Poké Ball, he saw the three sacred beasts walking up to him.

Naoki was slightly stunned: "What's wrong?"

Suicune: "Thunder God wants to see your child."

Lei Gong's eyes widened immediately: "You wanted to see it yourself!"

Naoki: “…” The three sacred beasts are interested in his child?

Naoki was a little confused, but since they wanted to go and see, why not just go together!

When Naoki arrived at the hospital ward with a large group of Pokémon, Qishu's parents were stunned.

Qishu's father looked at the three majestic and beast-like Pokémon and stood there speechless.

"Legendary Pokémon?!" After a long while, he looked at Naoki and asked, "Are they all Pokémon you captured?"

Naoki didn't know what to say, so after thinking for a while, he replied, "We are friends."

"Friends..." Qishu's father murmured these two words. He had visited Naoki when he was the leader of the Niangguang Gym.

At that time, he had seen Raikou and learned from other viewers that it was a legendary Pokémon and also an organization. In addition to Raikou, the organization also had two other legendary Pokémon, Entei and Suicune.

And now...the two next to them should be Entei and Suicune, right?
Now, he admires his son-in-law more and more.

"The baby is there, go and see her! Be careful not to wake her up!" Naoki said to Menghuan and the others.

Qishu had woken up. Zhishu sat beside the bed and fed her the goat milk porridge he had brought.

A group of Pokémon gathered around the incubator with curiosity, observing the baby inside.

"miu...?" (Is this Naoki's baby...?) Menghuan asked.

"One!" Baby Bear nodded repeatedly.

Victini looked at the baby in the incubator with bright eyes: "Nini!" (She is so cute!)

Not only Victini had this idea, but Entei Suicune and Raikou also had this idea.

Entei leaned forward and sniffed the scent of the human baby, then communicated with Suicune and Raikou via telepathy:

"She smells like the Rainbow Warrior."

Suicune was very elegant: "Not only that, I also felt a strong natural force, just like the energy on the World Tree."

After hearing what Yan Di and Shui Jun said, Lei Gong also wanted to come forward and smell it.

But before it could get close, the baby in the incubator suddenly woke up, flapped its soft little hands, and grabbed its beard in a panic.

"!!!"

Lei Gong was startled, but he dared not move for fear of scaring the baby in front of him.

Then, a loud cry came from the incubator.

The noise immediately attracted the surrounding Pokémon to look towards Raikou.

Yan Di scolded: "You woke her up."

Lei Gong dared not move, his body frozen in place.

"You must be hungry, right?" Naoki walked forward with a smile and took the child out of the incubator.

He has experience in this kind of thing, and he took care of the Eevee just hatched from the egg in the same way.

Lei Gong felt relieved, and retreated to the back with Suicune and Entei, lying on the floor and watching the scene.

"Give it to me!" After drinking the goat milk porridge cooked by Naoki, Qishu felt her body was full of strength. She sat up and leaned against the head of the bed, took the baby from Naoki's arms, and began to feed her.

Seeing this scene, Qishu's father automatically found an excuse to go outside to get some fresh air to avoid it.

Qishu's mother sat beside the bed, looking at her daughter with a look of satisfaction on her face.

"From today on, you are also a mother, so you must be more cautious in the future."

"Got it, Mom!"

Naoki and the Pokémon sat on the other side to help.

After taking a few bites, the baby smacked his lips a few times and began to feel drowsy again.

This is the case for all newborn babies, they sleep 24 hours out of 20 hours a day.

Naoki helped her wipe the milk stains from the corners of her mouth, then gently covered her with a small blanket, and the baby soon fell into a deep sleep.

Motor Lizard stood nearby, and Naoki asked, "Motor Lizard, do you want to touch her?"

"Gaw?"

Naoki nodded.

The Motor Lizard then carefully stretched out his hand and gently touched the baby's face.

Because it was so soft, Motor Lizard was startled and quickly withdrew his hand, fearing that he would accidentally hurt her.

"Gah!"

"Hahaha! Don't worry, it's okay." Naoki said with a smile: "When she grows up a little bit in a while, you can play outside with her!"

"Gaao~" The motorcycle lizard was very much looking forward to it.

Mew and Victini were floating nearby, also looking at the baby with their big round eyes.

Naoki took out his Rotom phone, took a photo, and then posted it to his Moments.

【Wing King: Born safely! The best gift for the New Year! Picture.jpg】

Soon, this circle of friends received likes and comments one after another.

[Yeci: Congratulations! I will visit you there as soon as I finish my work with the alliance in a few days.]

[Adeke: Hahaha, I've finally waited for this day! Congratulations, Naoki, you're going to be a father too. I've prepared a gift for you, just wait at home! ]

Dantei, Sonia, Sirona, Professor Oak, Daigo and others also expressed their congratulations.

Naoki thanked them one by one.

At the same time, the Pokémon on the World Tree also saw the circle of friends posted by Naoki one after another.

In the reverse world, Giratina didn't know what it meant at first.

After Mobile Rotom's detailed explanation, its eyes widened immediately.

What? Such an important thing, Naoki didn't even tell it!

No! It wants to join in the fun too!

Giratina twisted its huge body, stood up and rushed into the distance.

On the World Tree, the Ho-Oh who was standing on a branch also saw the circle of friends.

It said nothing. After sensing the location of the Rainbow Hero, the Phoenix King spread its wings and flew away, leaving a gorgeous rainbow in the sky.

At the expedition guild headquarters, Mewtwo silently looked at the circle of friends on the phone screen.

Is that Naoki's child?
Humans have given birth to new offspring in this way. If it had not been cloned in the first place, would it have been born into this world in this way?
Mewtwo enlarged the picture and looked at the human cub in the photo.

She looked so young and was sleeping so soundly.

*
On New Year's Day of the 202nd year of the Alliance Calendar, auspicious signs suddenly appeared in the town of Ziqin. Countless people witnessed the legendary Pokémon Ho-Oh flying over the town, leaving a beautiful rainbow in the sky.

Points of light fell from the sky, as if they were sending blessings for something.

The townspeople were shocked, and the trainers on the street excitedly chased after Ho-Oh, while some ordinary townspeople happily looked at Ho-Oh's back and prayed for their families.

Many people believe that this is a good omen, because Ho-Oh is a Pokémon that represents auspiciousness and happiness, and its appearance will definitely bring happiness to those who see it.

In the hospital, the three sacred beasts that were lying on the floor suddenly seemed to sense something. They stood up suddenly and said:
"Lord Phoenix is ​​here!"

"Ho-Oh?" Naoki was a little surprised.

Lei Gong didn't say anything. He came to the window and suddenly swooped out of it. After a while, he jumped up with a rainbow feather in his mouth.

When he saw the feather, Naoki was slightly stunned.

Lei Gong walked to the baby incubator with the feather in his mouth, lowered his head and placed the feather on the baby.

They have already understood the purpose of Lord Ho-oh's appearance. Lord Ho-oh is sending his blessings to Naoki's baby!

"This is really..."

After a brief moment of stunned silence, Naoki understood what Ho-Oh meant. He walked to the window and saw a gorgeous rainbow appearing in the sky.

"Thank you, Ho-Oh." Naoki said silently.

It is said that the Phoenix King's feathers that shine with colorful light can bring happiness to people. For the Phoenix King, this is the best gift, right?

At this moment, the lights in the hospital suddenly dimmed, and the shadows in the room suddenly rippled.

A gloomy atmosphere began to spread in the ward.

The Pokémon that noticed something was wrong became alert.

Qi Shu's parents also looked around in confusion.

Naoki immediately realized what was happening.

He quickly took out his Rotom phone and sent a message to Giratina.

[King Yi: Don't come out, the room is too small! I'll bring the baby to you when I get back! ]

Are you kidding? The room is so small, and Leon and Dragonite have almost filled up the room. If Giratina, a behemoth nearly three meters tall, comes, won’t the roof be broken directly?
When this message was sent, the shadows surrounding the area suddenly stagnated. After a moment, the surroundings returned to normal and the flashing lights stopped.

Naoki immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"What was that noise just now?" Qishu's parents were a little worried.

"I don't know, maybe there is some ghost Pokémon passing by here?" Naoki said.

Although the two were confused, they didn't know what was going on and finally had to give up.

In the afternoon, Naoki asked Qishu and the Pokémon to rest here while he went to pay the relevant fees alone.

"Please wait... The total is 5200 Alliance Coins. Cash or online payment?" the nurse asked. Naoki was in a hurry this time and didn't bring much cash, so he said, "I'll pay online!"

"Okay." The nurse finished the operation and then reminded: "Tell the mother to take care of her body when she goes back in the afternoon. It's quite cold outside, so try not to go out."

Naoki was slightly stunned: "You mean, I can go home in the afternoon? I don't need to stay in the hospital for observation?"

"Of course not." The nurse smiled and said, "The mother is in good health and will fully recover in a week at most."

"So soon?" Naoki was dumbfounded: "Don't you need to stay in confinement or something?"

"What is confinement?" The nurse was a little confused.

"It's the recovery period after giving birth." Naoki said.

"That's the seven days!" the nurse said, "If the mother is well-nourished, she will recover in just three days!"

Naoki: "..."

Are the physical constitutions of humans in the Pokémon world so special? This is too much...

"What about the baby?" Naoki asked again: "Does the baby need to be hospitalized for observation?"

"No need for that. Your baby is in very good health. When you go back, make sure she keeps warm, feed her on time every day, and get enough sleep. Then she can grow up healthily."

At this point, the nurse paused and said, "You are a trainer, right? Have you ever taken care of a Pokémon that has just hatched from an egg?"

"Yes." Naoki nodded.

"That's no problem. Just take care of the baby like you would a Pokémon!" said the nurse.

Naoki felt extremely shocked.

This...is this too exaggerated?

This reminded Naoki of Coco, the protagonist of the movie "Pokémon: The Adventures of Pikachu and Coco".

Coco was adopted by a Pokémon named Salud when she was a baby, and grew up healthy to the age of ten.

In that movie, Coco and Salud had been living in the wild, and they probably could only eat tree fruits every day.

Even so, he was able to grow that big.

So, humans are also a type of Pokémon, right?!
This incident further confirmed Naoki's guess.

He returned to the ward with mixed feelings, and saw his mother-in-law and father-in-law saying goodbye to Qishu there.

"We have to go back soon, remember to take good care of yourself, we will come to see you later!"

Qi Shu responded, "I know!"

The old couple turned back and gave Naoki some instructions, then said goodbye to the two of them and left Ziqin Town.

After they left, Naoki started packing up his things.

In order to prevent Qishu from catching a cold on the road, he invited the King of Flower Crown and asked the King of Flower Crown to use instant teleportation to transfer Qishu and the baby directly to his home.

He drove the pickup truck, carrying the Pokémon home.

On the way, snowflakes started falling from the sky again.

Naoki didn't feel a bit of coldness in his heart, because from today on, he would become a father!

"Gulden, I'm going to be a father in the future!" Naoki happily shared his feelings with Gulden.

"Ah, gah~" Gultun was also sincerely happy.

"What do you think she will be like when she grows up? Will she love Pokémon as much as I do..." Naoki couldn't help but fantasize about the future.

A lovely little girl was sitting under the eaves waiting for him to come home. She threw herself into his arms, acted coquettishly to him, and called him daddy's future.

"Gulden, you know? I'm really happy." Naoki said softly, this is a feeling that cannot be expressed in words.

"Ah, gash~!" Gultun still responded happily.

"When the time comes, we'll watch her grow up together. I wonder if she'll be willing to inherit my ranch... or become a trainer." Naoki murmured.

"Ah, gah..." Gulden didn't know about this because he had never seen such a distant future.

"No matter what, as long as she is happy!" Naoki figured it out. What is important is never the ranch, but where the Pokémon are!

So wherever they are, there their home remains.

The old pickup truck drove towards the ranch and their home in the snow and wind.

There was a thin layer of snow on the ground. Naoki got out of the car and walked into the living room with Gulden.

There was a crib in the living room with a soft cushion on it. Their baby was lying on it, having sweet dreams in the light of the fireplace.

My sister Ai Guanshi stood gently by the side, coaxing the baby to sleep.

The three sacred beasts lay on the ground and looked in this direction.

Mew, Victini, Jirachi, and Baby Bear sat on the edge of the crib.

The Bud Crown King floated on the other side, looking down at the baby inside.

Seeing Naoki coming back, the Bud Crown King raised his head and looked at him with a kind smile on His face.

"Congratulations, Naoki." said the Queen of the Flower Crown.

Naoki grinned and nodded, "Yeah!"

Qi Shu also came out of the room. Seeing her, Zhi Shu quickly asked, "Don't you need to rest for a while?"

Qi Shu was very confused: "I don't know why, but after drinking the goat milk porridge you cooked, I felt as if I had endless energy in my body, as if I had completely recovered my health."

Naoki: "..."

Life goat milk actually has such an effect on postpartum women?
"Are you feeling any other discomfort?" Naoki asked.

Qi Shu shook his head: "No, I feel better than before!"

"That should be the reason for the life goat milk." Naoki said.

"Hehe, this way I don't have to lie in bed for so long!" Qishu said with a smile.

Naoki felt like he was turning into a mother: "You'd better be more careful. It's too cold outside. You should stay at home these days and don't go out."

Qi Shu also knew that Zhi Shu was concerned about him, so he nodded and said, "I know!"

After settling the baby and the strange tree, Naoki contacted Giratina and told it that it could come to the ranch to see the baby.

Just as the message was sent, Naoki received another message from Mewtwo.

Chaomeng is asking: Can it go and see the baby?

Naoki readily agreed.

Soon, the shrunken Giratina and Mewtwo arrived at the ranch.

Chaomeng silently looked at the sleeping baby in the crib, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Giratina poked its head out and took a closer look at the human cub inside.

Suddenly, the baby inside seemed to sense some terrible breath and opened his eyes uneasily.

The next second, their eyes met.

Giratina opened his mouth, revealing a "ferocious" smile.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

A loud cry came from the crib.

Giratina: “!!!”

Naoki: “…” Giratina looks so scary.

Qi Shu burst into laughter, then walked forward and said, "The baby must be hungry. I'll go feed it something."

After that, she walked forward, picked up the baby, and went to the room to feed the child.

Giratina had an expression of disbelief on his face.

Does it look that scary?!
Naoki resisted the urge to laugh and said to Giratina, "She's still young and doesn't know you yet. When she grows up, she can play with you."

Naoki could feel that his child seemed to have inherited his dragon-controlling power and Tokiwa's power, and that the child would be able to give Giratina a massage for him.

Giratina felt better now.

It immediately promised: "When the time comes, I will take her wherever she wants to go!"

“Okay, okay.” Naoki was very happy. He could then let his daughter recognize Giratina as her godfather.

Giratina left the ranch contentedly and returned to the reverse world.

Mewtwo also returned to the World Tree silently.

Lei Gong, Entei and Suicune stayed at the ranch and celebrated the New Year with Naoki's family.

The next morning, they went to the World Tree and found the Phoenix King.

Lei Gong reported: "Lord Phoenix, I have completed all the tasks to help the Rainbow Hero."

Emperor Yan asked, "Lord Feng Wang, what are your next orders?"

The Phoenix King looked at them and said, "I can feel that the child also has the potential to become the Rainbow Brave. Before she officially becomes the Rainbow Brave, I hope you can stay by her side and protect her until she grows up, until the day she becomes the Rainbow Brave."

The three sacred beasts were slightly stunned, but still responded respectfully.

"Yes!"

*
At the same time, the ranch also welcomed two guests from afar.

One is Yesi, the chief champion of the Padya League, and the other is Adek, the champion of the United League.

Today is January 203st of the 1rd year of the Alliance Calendar, the beginning of the new year. Ye Ci worked overtime last night to finish all the work in the Alliance. Early this morning, she rushed to visit Naoki and her beloved future Padilla champion.

Adek had just resolved the crisis of the plasma group, and the Unova region was now clear. He had nothing to do, so he took the morning flight to Padia.

The two champions met at the ranch, greeted each other, and were welcomed into the living room by Naoki and Kiki.

Looking at Adek who came from afar, Yeci felt a little wary.

Could it be that this guy wants to snatch talent from her?
Adek didn't notice at all. He smiled and patted Naoki on the shoulder and said, "Congratulations. Where's the baby? Let me see it!"

"He's sleeping in the room!" Naoki smiled and led the two into the room.

Yeci and Adek glanced at the baby.

"Wow, so cute!" Adek said, taking out a fiery red egg from his backpack: "This is my birth gift for you!"

"This is……"

Adek grinned. "It won't be long before the egg laid by my Vulcan Moth hatches. By then, it can grow up with your child. By the way, what's her name?"

Naoki was slightly stunned. That was the offspring of the champion-level Vulcan Moth...

"Little tree." Qishu replied.

"Little Tree? What a good name!" Adek put the egg aside and said, "Take it! Naoki saved my Vulcan Moth. I should have given him this gift a long time ago."

After hearing these words, Ye Ci quickly understood what had happened.

It turns out that Adek didn't come to compete with her for talent, but to express his gratitude!
"This is too valuable." Naoki said subconsciously. After all, it was a champion-level Vulcan Moth egg, and its value was extremely precious.

However, Adek didn't care much: "Compared to the help you gave me before, this gift is nothing. Besides, I am also looking for a suitable trainer to entrust the egg to her care. After thinking about it, there is no one more suitable than you."

Hearing this, Naoki understood what Adek meant. He did not refuse, but said, "Then I will thank you on behalf of Xiaoshu."

At this time, Ye Ci also took out a gift from her body.

It was a feather, a feather that shone like moonlight.

"This is the reward I promised you before. It took me a lot of effort to find it!" Ye Ci said with a smile, "It is said that it has the power to dispel nightmares and protect the holder, so I thought, I should give it to Xiao Shu as a talisman."

Naoki's eyes turned to the feather, and the next second, the information about the feather emerged in his mind.

[Crescent Moon Feather: The feather of the dream god Cresselia, which emits a moon-like glow and is said to have the power to dispel nightmares.]
