Not a trainer this time.

Chapter 669: The Flow of Sun and Moon
Naoki handed Sora Aoi and Kuramarante over to Bud Crown, asking him to help the two Pokémon introduce the situation on the ranch.

And he himself set out for the World Tree.

Because Chihong sent him a message.

The end of the year is approaching in this world. Chihong looks at the snowflakes falling from the sky and misses his hometown a little.

His practice in this world is almost complete, and he is ready to go back.

When Naoki arrived at the World Tree, what he saw was a scene of Akane standing on the top of the World Tree, gazing at the snowy scenery in the distance.

During this period of time, Chihong has been practicing on the World Tree.

The title of No. 1 in the Pokémon world is not undeserved. He defeated Mewtwo, Kyurem, and Ho-Oh, and Articuno and Moltres are no problem at all.

Although he lost to Groudon Kyogre and Black Rayquaza, this is enough to prove how strong Red is.

As his thoughts flowed, Naoki asked, "Are you going back?"

Chihong turned around and looked at him.

"..."

There was a moment of silence, and then a nod.

He walked forward with Pikachu and handed something over.

Naoki looked down and saw the notebook that Akane had asked him for a few months ago.

There were obvious signs of use on the notebook. Naoki thought that Red wanted to use it to record the ecological data of the Pokémon on the World Tree and then bring it back to Professor Oak.

But now it seems that is not the case.

"This is?"

Naoki reached out and took the notebook with doubt in his eyes.

When I opened it, I saw that it contained many battle experiences and methods of training Pokémon!

Then, Chi Hong spoke for the first time, and he seemed a little awkward: "…Here are some of my experiences as a token of my gratitude."

Naoki immediately took a breath of cold air.

This is championship-level training experience!

For a trainer who has just started traveling, if he had this kind of information, he would definitely be able to avoid countless detours.

It is undoubtedly precious.

Both in terms of value and commemorative significance.

Red: "...Goodbye."

He glanced at Naoki, then turned around and followed Meowth and Pikachu to the space-time gate standing in the center of the expedition team's guild.

Naoki did not try to keep her because he knew that Chihong also had her own family. It was already winter and the end of the year was approaching, so it was normal for people to be sentimental when seeing the scene.

He watched Chihong leave.

Before Chihong entered the gate of time and space, a gust of wind suddenly blew and Chihong's hat was accidentally blown off by the wind.

Naoki was stunned for a moment, and the next second, he saw Chihong disappear into the depths of the gate of time and space.

He picked up his hat and wanted to chase after him, but he could no longer see Chihong's figure.

Naoki felt helpless. He looked at the hat in his hand and had to take it back home and hang it on the wall.

The New Year is coming soon, and the hero expedition team is returning from outside. This year's New Year is very lively.

Not only were Naoki's family there, but there were also Pokémon that Mew and Bear invited back from outside, and even the Hoopa family came to join in the fun.

The halo turned on, and Mayali and Balza also came to the ranch to visit Naoki.

Plus the brother and sister Cang Xiang and Zao Marant, and the three sacred Pokémon for parenting.

On New Year's Eve, Naoki and Qishu set off fireworks in the snow with the Pokémon on the ranch.

Amidst the shouts of Happy New Year, the 204th year of the Alliance Calendar officially came to an end.

The New Year comes to an end and the expedition team continues their journey.

As usual, Naoki stayed at the ranch to take care of the little trees and Pokémon, and occasionally took time out to go to Blueberry Academy to attend classes.

Life is plain as flowing water, but it is exceptionally happy.

The 205th year of the Alliance Calendar passed in uneventful fashion. Nothing major happened during this period, and the fate of many people continued to develop along their original trajectory.

Nemo became the champion and still came to the ranch to challenge Naoki as often as she did when she was a child.

Papa continued to study at Padilla College, and Naoki would occasionally call him or invite him to the ranch to relax for a day, taking care of the child in this way.

Xiaozhi returned from Alola and after resting for a while, he embarked on a new journey. He finally participated in the Eight Masters and won the championship.

Liliae finally successfully found her father in the Galar region.

The only difference is that Adek also chose to retire and handed over the championship position to the Dragon Star Alice.

And Xiaozhi did not stop traveling like in the anime, but prepared to continue his journey to the Padia region to start a new journey.

Because this is the "agreement" between him and Mr. Naoki!
In the blink of an eye, time has come to the 206th year of the Alliance Calendar.

This year, Xiaoshu is 4 years old.

Naoki has also reached the age of 28 and is experiencing a vague midlife crisis.

However, Naoki didn't care at all. He ate, drank and teased his daughter as usual every day.

He often made Xiaoshu cry, and then he ran away crying, shouting, "I don't want to talk to my dad anymore!"

However, if Naoki didn't go to comfort her for a long time, she would secretly climb on the door and peek.

Occasionally, Naoki would receive orders midway and drive out to deliver the goods.

At this time, Xiaoshu would sit under the eaves at the door of the house with the Pokémon, waiting obediently for his father to come home.

Whenever Naoki saw this scene, he felt warm in his heart.

Looking at the small tree growing day by day, he often feels inexplicably moved.

This is his child, his legacy in this world...

Like most children in the Pokémon world, once I reached a certain age, I began to develop an interest in Pokémon and their trainers.

Small trees are no exception.

On a sunny afternoon, after watching a game on TV, Xiaoshu stood on the coffee table and loudly announced her life dream at home.

"Dad, I'm going to travel and become the strongest trainer in the world!"

"...Get down from the coffee table first!" Naoki's eyebrows jumped.

Xiaoshu jumped down from the coffee table obediently. Naoki said earnestly: "Becoming a trainer is very hard, and it is very dangerous in the wild. You are not even ten years old yet."

The three sacred beasts couldn't help but interrupt: "We can protect the little tree."

Naoki glared at the three guys and said with his eyes: Just spoil her!

The three sacred beasts stopped talking.

Qi Shu chimed in, "That's right. You have to take Pokémon out in the wild every day, exposed to the wind and sun. If you get sick, no one will take care of you."

Naoki: "And you can't even take care of yourself now, so what are you going to do with the burning bugs then?"

The little tree looked at the burning insect beside him, and a distressed expression suddenly appeared on his little face.

Naoki and Qishu didn't continue talking, but gave Xiaoshu some time to think on his own.

After a long while, the little tree finally came up with a solution: "Then I will start learning to take care of myself now! After I learn it, can I go out and travel?"

The little tree looked over expectantly.

"It depends on your performance." Naoki handed over a notebook: "However, although you can't go out to travel, you can learn how to take care of Pokémon by yourself from now on."

"This notebook was left by an older brother. It records methods for breeding Pokémon and tips for commanding battles. You can study it first and let Rotom read it to you. If you encounter something you don't understand, you can ask Rotom to explain it to you, or you can ask me or your mother."

Xiao Shu took it excitedly: "Is that big brother very powerful? What kind of person is he?"

"Of course, he is a very powerful champion." Naoki nodded with a smile.

"Wow!" Xiaoshu immediately took the notebook and treated it as a treasure. He took the burning bug to his room to study.

"Isn't it too early to let her get in touch with these things now?" Qi Shu couldn't help but ask.

"It doesn't matter. Let her try it first. It won't do any harm to Xiaoshu." Naoki said.

"That's right!"

At the same time, deep in the Padia Crater, at the fourth observatory.

Beads of sweat appeared on the foreheads of Dr. Olin and Dr. Futu, and they looked at the images on the surveillance screen with nervous expressions.

Roaring Moon, Fluttering Wings, Roaring Tail, Fierce Mushroom, Crawling Wings, Iron Thorns, Iron Warrior...

Countless paradoxical Pokémon are engaged in a crazy riot among each other!

"What on earth is going on?" Dr. Olin murmured.

Why would these paradoxical Pokémon, which are usually quiet and no different from ordinary Pokémon, suddenly riot?
"Not only the fourth observatory, but also the third, second, and first observatory have all observed a large number of paradoxical Pokémon riots!" Dr. Fortu frowned and asked quickly: "Ai, quickly calculate the possibility of this happening!"

"Yes!" Futuai's brain started to work quickly. He mobilized the monitoring data of the entire research institute. After a long time, he said, "It seems that there are too many paradoxical Pokémon in the Padiya Pit, causing the ecology here to lose balance!"

"How could this happen?" Dr. Fortu murmured.

They have been controlling the number of paradoxical Pokémon in the giant pit!
"Not good! I've been discovered!"

Dr. Olin's face changed. In the picture, he saw a poisonous moth flying towards them quickly. Its body was glowing with a bright and hot light like the sun. It looked like it had discovered them hiding here and was preparing to launch an attack!

The two wanted to hide, but it was too late.

A thick beam of light suddenly shot out, and in an instant, the earth seemed to tremble along with it.

"Boom!"

The energy stored in the institute was hit, and a large flame ignited instantly.

"Danger!" Dr. Fotu tried to protect his wife.

But the next second, a rapid explosion pierced his eardrums.

A large shock wave and flames swept over.

"Gulden!" Dr. Olin shouted.

Seeing that Gulden, who was closest to the energy tank, was about to be hit, at this critical moment, Dr. Olin rushed out and protected Gulden under him.

Dr. Fotu also rushed over to protect his wife.

"Boom!"

Amid the violent explosion, the two figures were engulfed by flames and explosion.

There was a yellow light flashing in the eyes of the poisonous moth. After seeing that there was no life below, it turned around and slowly left.

It was unknown how long it took before the fire that engulfed the Fourth Observation Station gradually died down.

From the charred ruins, a timid-looking Gulden cautiously crawled out.

In the Zone Zero Research Institute.

Aolin Ai and Futu Ai, who sensed the accident at the fourth observation station, were slightly stunned.

A moment later, they saw everything that happened there through surveillance.

Dr. Olin and Dr. Fortu lost their lives protecting the Gulliver.

Although it is Ai, the two have real feelings.

Looking at that scene, their hearts were extremely heavy.

But soon, looking at the images observed by the observatory, the expressions of the two Dr. Ai became solemn.

Now, the entire Padya Pit has begun to riot.

The monitoring screen shows that a lot of paradox Pokémon have passed through the defense program on the top of the giant pit, left the giant pit, and entered the Padiya area!

The time machine continues to run, sending paradoxical Pokémon from the past and future to the present.

If this continues, the entire Padia Pit, and even the entire Padia region, will suffer a devastating blow!

Now, the time machine must be turned off!
But as Ai, they have been given strict instructions, and the paradise defense program in their bodies will make them indiscriminately attack anyone who tries to shut down the time machine.

The two Ai quickly calculated how to deal with this incident, and found someone who had the ability to deal with the Paradox Pokémon riot, shut down the time machine, and had a friendly relationship with the two professors, so that they could handle the aftermath for them.

The huge computer quickly searches for relevant data.

Soon, a face appeared in their minds.

That was... Naoki, a top trainer who had prevented many disasters that almost destroyed the world and won the final championship in the World Championship.

He also knows everything about the Paradox Pokémon and has visited the Area Zero Research Institute under the guidance of two professors.

There was no one in the entire Padya region who was more suitable than him to stop all this.

Orin Ai took out Dr. Orin's communication device and called Naoki.

After a while, the call was answered.

Aolin Ai looked at the man opposite her and said slowly:
"Naoki, please come to the Area Zero Research Institute. We need your help."
