Not a trainer this time.

Chapter 680: The Path of Cultivation of the Divine Beast Girl
"Xiaoshu..." Naoki murmured.

The young tree raised its head and looked at its father in confusion.

"What do you want to do when you grow up?" Naoki asked.

"Xiaoshu wants to be a very good trainer! He wants to travel with the Burning Bug!" Xiaoshu's eyes lit up, and his father's winning moment appeared in his mind. He added: "Just like Dad!"

As if sensing the trainer's mood, the Burning Bug next to him seemed to be infected by the emotions and his eyes became firm.

"Woo!"

Several Taile Bagos nearby also came over to join in the fun: "Bago~!"

Naoki: "..."

Taking so many Tylerbags out for a trip at once, will other trainers be left alive?

The scene of Xiaoshu stuffing dozens of Tailebagos into the team in one breath to challenge the gym appeared in his mind, and Naoki finally showed a smile.

"Dad is smiling!" Xiaoshu also noticed Naoki's look.

Although she didn't know what happened in these days, as a child she keenly felt that her father seemed a little unhappy.

Because he hasn't laughed for a long time.

"Dad, be happy!" said the little tree.

Naoki was slightly startled, then slowly nodded and agreed: "Yes, Dad will."

After being in a state of depression for so long, he really made everyone on the ranch worried.

In the month since returning to the ranch, Naoki has hardly taken the initiative to learn about the situation at the ranch, nor has he checked on the Pokémon as regularly as before.

During this time, the Pokémon on the ranch must be very worried about him, right?

In order not to worry everyone and not let his emotions affect other Pokémon, Naoki made up his mind to cheer up.

The first thing he had to do was to count the number of Tailebagos he brought back from the Great Void of Zero.

Naoki stood up and looked around.

At this time, there were only three Tailebagos around Xiaoshu. You know, he sent back dozens of Tailebagos when he was in Area Zero.

"Gulden, Babutubo, Dragonite, Uruk-Yo, and Tyrablebags, come together and help call the other Tyrablebags over here!" Naoki said.

Seeing that Naoki had cheered up again, the Pokémon who had been very worried suddenly became happy.

They immediately followed Naoki's instructions and went around the ranch, looking for traces of Tailebagos.

Although they are legendary Pokémon, unlike Giratina and Dialga, these little turtles are innocent and lively. They are curious about the people and environment around them and like to run around in the pasture.

Ursa Major found three bees in the hive of the three bees, Gulden took out five from the glass greenhouse, and Dragonite pulled one out of the chimney.

Butterfree found three from the flowers, and Sora Ayaka and Zangmarant also picked up four from the slide in Snorlax Park.

……

Tailebagos can be seen in almost every corner of the ranch.

Soon, a large group of Tailebagos gathered on the grass.

Naoki simply counted the number of people and asked, "Are all the Tailebagos present?"

Little turtles, you look at me and I look at you.

At this moment, a Tailebagos carrying several Meltans walked slowly past the crowd.

"Bago Bago~!"

Naoki: "..."

He stepped forward, picked up Tailebagos and Meltan, and put them in the main group.

Now all the Tailebagos should be here, right?
"Huh? Are you summoning Taile Bagos?"

At this time, Qi Shu's voice came from behind.

Naoki looked back and saw Qishu coming out of the room with two Tailebagos in his arms.

"These two kids just accidentally went exploring in the fireplace!"

"Bago~!"

Naoki: "..."

He began to feel that he needed to install a positioning device on the Tailebagos, otherwise they would not know if one of them got lost one day.

Slowly exhaling, Naoki looked at the Tailebagos in front of him and said:

"Okay, now let me count how many Tailebagos there are!"

Qishu had taught Xiaoshu some simple numbers before. She understood what her father meant, and said to the Tailebagos like a smart kid:
"Everyone, stand still and don't move!"

"Bago~!"

The Tailebagos thought Naoki was playing a game with them, so they immediately raised their little heads high, stood still, and looked at Naoki with expectation.

Seeing this, Naoki started counting.

"One, two, three... twenty-eight, twenty-nine... forty, forty-one, forty-two... fifty, fifty-one."

Fifty-one?
Even though he had expected it, Naoki couldn't help but be surprised when he actually got this number.

So many?!

"Bago?"

The Tailebagos looked at Naoki.

"It's okay." Naoki came back to his senses and said to them, "I just wanted to count your numbers, because I'm afraid that one day someone will get lost and we won't know. Oh, by the way, you can move freely in the pasture, but you are not allowed to run outside the fence or go to dangerous places. Do you understand?"

"Bago~" Taile Bagos happily agreed.

"Okay, let's go play!" Naoki breathed a sigh of relief.

Soon, the fifty-one Tailebagos in front of them scattered one after another.

Some went to the orchard, climbed up the trees to eat the plump and juicy fruits; some climbed into the flowers, smelled the petals with curiosity; and some accidentally tripped over stones and were forced to turn over. They struggled but could not turn over and could only helplessly call "Bago Bago" in the same place.

Xiao Shu ran forward, turned the Tailebagos over, and said to it:

"Watch the road carefully!"

"Bago..." Taile Bagos looked at the little tree with emotion.

The little tree smiled brightly in return.

"Bagogo!" Taile Bagos was so grateful that he couldn't express it in words.

Naoki: "..."

Are these Pokémon really "gods" like Budcrown?

Looking at the jewel-like bodies of the Tailebagos, Naoki suddenly felt somewhat familiar.

It was as if he had seen it somewhere before.

Hmm...where is it?

At this moment, Naoki suddenly remembered that he and Reihe had picked up a gem-shaped fossil when they were looking for ancient deer in a large underground cave somewhere!

It was a fossil of an unknown Pokémon. After I brought it back, I accidentally forgot about it because of some trivial matters.

Thinking of this, Naoki quickly turned around and went to the utility room. After a careful search, he finally found the gem-shaped fossil among a pile of debris.

Looking at the stone in his hand, which was somewhat similar to Tailebagos's body, at this moment, Naoki suddenly had a bold guess in his mind.

Could this thing be the fossil of Tailebagos?
Today, fossil resurrection technology has become popular all over the world.

Over the years, many ancient Pokémon have been resurrected from fossils, and there are related research institutions in the Padya region.

In order to find out the truth, Naoki immediately contacted the Fossil Research Institute in Zhuotai City.

He went there in person and handed the gem-shaped fossil to the researchers.

Three days later, Naoki received a strange egg from the researcher.

After returning to the ranch, he, Xiaoshu, and a group of Pokémon looked at the egg with curiosity.

Naoki still remembers what the researcher said at that time.

The other party said: "This fossil belongs to a Pokémon discovered from the future. It is very precious. In order to make this Pokémon more perfectly resurrected, we used the latest egg technology to perfectly restore the entire process of Pokémon from birth to hatching. Pokémon resurrected in this way can better adapt to the modern environment and grow better."

And now...

"Bago?" A Taile Bagos beside the little tree climbed up the mountain in confusion and sniffed the egg with its nose.

"Bago!" It smelled the scent of its companion from the egg!

Taile Bagos's face was full of curiosity.

Seeing it like this, Naoki's guess was finally confirmed.

That fossil was indeed that of Tailebagos!

In the distant past, the Talebagos were scattered throughout Padya.

But one day later, due to crustal movement, a major earthquake occurred in the Padya area.

Those Tailebagos living underground became extinct because of this terrible disaster and eventually turned into fossils under the influence of time.

The fate of the Tailebagos in the giant pit was changed because of his participation, and they have been dormant ever since.

A new life is about to come to the ranch.

Naoki picked up the egg.

"Dad, what Pokémon is this egg?"

"It? It's also a Tailebagos." Naoki responded.

"Wow!" This was the first time that Xiaoshu saw a Pokémon egg.

Naoki said to her: "When you were born, the burning worm was also an egg. Later, you were born and the burning worm hatched."

Xiaoshu and the Burning Bug grew up together and have a very deep relationship. Upon hearing this, she immediately hugged the Burning Bug.

I don’t know if it’s because she drank too much Life Goat Milk, but Xiaoshu is very smart and her little head works very fast.

I saw her eyes wandering around Qishu's belly and eggs, and then she suddenly said:
"When my little brother is born, will the Pokémon in this egg be able to hatch? Just like me and Infernape, my little brother can also grow up with Talebugs!"

"How clever." This is exactly what Naoki was thinking.

There are currently no Pokémon on the ranch that are the same age as the new baby in Qi Shu's belly.

And this egg came at just the right time.

Instead of going out of their way to find other Pokémon eggs that haven't hatched yet, it's better to just leave this egg for their unborn child.

"Will my brother become a great trainer like me?" Xiaoshu asked with anticipation.

"I don't know about that." Naoki shook his head: "Maybe it's my sister?"

Xiaoshu didn't care. She was full of confidence: "Then I will have a Pokémon battle with him! Defeat him and become the most powerful trainer!"

"Do you really want to become a trainer?" Naoki asked.

Xiaoshu nodded vigorously: "I love Pokémon! I want to work hard with them to become stronger and become a great trainer!"

Naoki raised an eyebrow: "Have you read the notes I gave you before?"

"I have read it." Xiao Shu was quite confused and embarrassed: "But I don't understand it..."

Seeing his daughter like this, Qi Shu couldn't help laughing and said, "Of course, you are only four years old, it is not time for you to learn to read. When you grow up a little bit, your father and I can teach you to read. Then you will be able to understand the notebook by yourself."

In fact, there is another option, which is to send the little tree to kindergarten.

There is one in Ziqin Town, where there are many peers and professional teachers who teach children various life knowledge and simple words.

But it's too early now. Xiaoshu has to wait until he is at least six years old before he can go to school.

"Okay, let's go out and play with the burning bugs now!" said Naoki.

Xiaoshu nodded. She felt very excited when she thought about traveling with many Pokémon in the future and meeting different Pokémon.

He came to the outside of the ranch with the burning bugs and several Tailebagos.

"Burning Bug, when I grow up, we will go traveling together!" The little tree was full of fighting spirit.

"Woo!" The burning bug was also looking forward to that day.

Yan Di, Shui Jun and Lei Gong looked at the little tree with satisfaction. Unknowingly, the child has grown up!
They still remember the cute look of the little tree when it first started to speak and then took its first steps behind them.

Just thinking of that memory, the three sacred beasts felt extremely warm in their hearts, as if their hearts were filled with something.

but……

Having said that, when the little trees grow up and go out to travel, it will mean that it is time for them to say goodbye to her.

By then, Lord Phoenix's mission will be completed, and they will also have to complete their own missions.

Thinking of this, a trace of reluctance emerged in the hearts of the three sacred beasts.

The three Taile Bagos nearby, upon hearing the conversation between Xiaoshu and the Burning Bug, immediately showed curiosity and asked one after another: "Bago Bago?"

Xiaoshu inherited her father's power of Changpan. By touching the bodies of the Tailebagos, she quickly understood what the Tailebagos meant.

They are asking: "What is travel?"

Xiaoshu: "Traveling means setting off with your Pokémon friends, traveling around the world, and meeting different Pokémon!"

"Bago!" The eyes of the Taile Bagos suddenly lit up. It sounded so fun!
They used to live in a big pit underground and had never seen the outside world until Naoki arrived. Then they followed him outside to pick fruit.

But that was just a taste.

Now after hearing what Xiaoshu said, the three Tailebagos couldn't help but feel very curious about the outside world.

So, they looked at the little tree pitifully and asked:
"Bago Bago?"

Xiaoshu has already regarded the Tailebagos as good friends.

After hearing their words, she immediately patted her chest with her little hands and assured them, "Of course no problem! When the time comes, we will set off to travel together!"

"Bagogo~!"

The three Tailebags immediately cheered.

At the same time, in the living room, Naoki began to seriously think about Xiaoshu's future.

Judging from the kid's appearance, he seems to be very interested in becoming a great trainer.

With the notes left by Red, and the teachings of him and Qishu, it is not difficult for Xiaoshu to become an excellent trainer.

The child also inherited his power of Tokiwa and the power of controlling dragons.

"So, next I can slowly start teaching Xiaoshu to practice using these two powers." Naoki thought.

When Xiaoshu grows up a little bit, officially starts to cultivate the Burning Bug, and is able to take care of the Burning Bug on his own, he may be able to let Xiaoshu go to Dragonite Island and use the power of dragon riding to find his own Dratini or Haxorus to see if he can get the recognition of the Dratini.

Then, he, Gul'ton, Bubblehead, Dragonite and other Pokémon can guide Shaggy and Dratini.

Try to evolve the Incinerator into the Vulcan Moth and the Dratini into the Dragonite before Xiaoshu turns ten years old.

With the protection of Vulcan Moth and the almighty Dragonite, when Xiaoshu goes out traveling, they, as parents, don’t have to worry about their child’s safety outside.
