Pokémon: Starting as a Farmer Instead of a Trainer

Chapter 100 Arrival in Sinnoh, an unexpected encounter with the kind-hearted Riolu

Coastal City, a well-known port city in the world, attracts many trainers and businessmen from afar every year to develop their businesses.

It has a unique geographical appearance, built on a long and narrow cape, with a complex and intricate terrain.

To compensate for the lack of space, the city has laid solar panels to form elevated pedestrian walkways to provide energy for the city, which is also a local feature.

In addition, the bright light emitted by the navigation lighthouse at the cape illuminates the Sinnoh region at night, guiding ships sailing at night.

Hama Airport is located on the outskirts of Hama City, quite a distance from the city center. However, it is closer to the lakeside resort next to Lake Ritsushi, one of the three major lakes in Sinnoh.

"We've finally arrived!"

As Mingyou led Ponpo and the others out of the airport, he finally set foot on the land of the Sinnoh region. However, before he could even properly enjoy the fresh air, a gust of cold wind blew by, causing him to shiver.

The Sinnoh region is located in the north and has a relatively cold climate, but the coastal city is quite warm. According to the travel guide, the coastal city usually experiences a significant drop in temperature around mid-October.

"It's a bit cold... Let's hurry and take the train to the city center, and have some fun for a couple of days first!"

There are direct trains from the airport to the city center, but the next one wasn't departing for another 20 minutes, so they had to wait in the waiting hall.

"Mmm~"

Ponpo sat next to Mingyou, swinging her legs and looking through the ghost mask at the travelers carrying suitcases coming and going. She was already looking forward to seeing what the ocean was like.

Mingyou, holding her Rotom phone, carefully planned out her schedule for the next few days. After spending a few days in Binhai City, she would head over to Nohara City.

The Moon Bear wanted to return to its homeland, a place said to be called "The Bear's Arena," but it can't be found on any map now.

Later, based on He Yue Xiong's description, it was deduced that the location should be near present-day Nohara City, but after all, more than a hundred years have passed... But since He Yue Xiong wanted to go, he would definitely accompany him.

A moment later, the airport's large screen announced that the train had arrived at the station, so Mingyou led everyone to prepare to go over. But as soon as they stood up, a trainer's shout suddenly came from afar.

"There's a thief here! My stylish cape and my exquisite glasses have been stolen!"

"My gold beads are gone from my bag too!"

"Huh? My Mushroom's bulging helmet is gone! It was just on my head a moment ago!"

"Oh no, my big root tuber also... Oh, it's okay, the big root tuber wasn't stolen, so it's alright."

"..."

"It's quite lively..."

Mingyou glanced at it, then looked away and at Ponpo and the others beside her, saying, "When you're out, especially in crowded places like train stations, you have to be careful with your belongings, or you'll end up like those unlucky guys over there."

"Mmm~"

Ponpon nodded and wrote those words down.

They then boarded the train together, but just as Mingyou was about to get on, a blue figure suddenly ran past him and bumped into him, then disappeared without a trace.

"Who is it...watch where you're going."

Mingyou grumbled about the lack of manners, then boarded the train, found a seat, and as the train slowly started moving, it traveled along the overhead tracks, passing through a mountain range, and the view outside the window suddenly opened up considerably.

Looking into the distance, sunlight spills onto the sea, shimmering and sparkling with dazzling light. Giant flying fish and small flying fish leap out of the water, and the splashes hit the passing roaring whales.

Big-billed gulls, leading long-winged gulls, swept across the sea, emitting enthusiastic and exciting calls, following behind the advancing yacht, creating an incredibly beautiful scene!

"Mmm~"

So much water, is this... the ocean?

Ponpon pressed herself against the window, her star-shaped eyes sparkling with excitement.

Not only it, but Simocha was also seeing the vast ocean for the first time, and it seemed that its worldview had suddenly broadened.

The little Snorlax wasn't interested in any of that; it was only interested in the things happening in the coastal city...

As they gazed out the window at the distant sea, they were completely unaware that in the corner of the opposite car, a petite figure was using a magazine in her hand as cover to secretly observe them…

In less than 20 minutes, the train had entered the urban area of ​​Binhai City, and its speed had slowed down completely. It came to a slow stop at the terminal station at the end.

"We've arrived. Let's go."

"Mmm~"

Ponpo took Mingyou's hand and they got off the train together, while the figure disguised as a magazine followed closely behind.

Stepping out of the station, feeling the slightly salty sea breeze blowing from afar, Mingyou picked up her Rotom phone, ready to take a tourist photo with everyone right there.

Just as Ponpo and the others were all standing still, a childish voice suddenly came from beside Mingyou...

"Leo~"

"Um?"

Looking down at the sound, Mingyou was slightly taken aback. She saw a small dog with blue fur, carrying a backpack.

It stands on two legs, with its legs and upper torso in black. It wears a yellow collar around its neck, has black patterns on its face resembling a mask, and has a pair of very spirited red eyes!

Riolu: The Ripple Pokémon appears to be a kind-hearted little dog. It is very compassionate, cannot bear to see others suffer, and is happy to help others. However, gaining its favor is not easy. Perhaps you can try to spend more time with it.

"Little one, what's wrong?"

Mingyou bent down and asked with a smile.

"Leo~"

Riolu, with an innocent smile on its face, began gesturing with its tiny hands. Mingyou quickly understood what it meant and replied with a smile, "...You want to help me with my luggage? No need, thank you, my backpack isn't heavy."

"Leo~"

Seeing that the other party didn't want him to help carry their bags, Riolu immediately pointed to his Rotom phone and offered to take photos for them for free.

Mingyou smiled and shook her head, politely declining: "No need to trouble you. Nowadays, Rotom phones can be controlled by AI to take pictures."

"Leo..."

After failing to help time and time again, Riolu looked a little disappointed, which touched Ponpo and the others. What an enthusiastic Pokémon!

Only Simocha's expression showed a strange look.

Mingyou scratched his head. It wasn't good to keep refusing the kindness... So he opened his backpack, took out a honey apple from his own estate, and handed it to the other person: "Here you go~ Take this and eat it. We appreciate your kindness."

"Leo..."

Looking at the honey-glazed apple, Riolu examined it for a moment, sniffed it, and then reached out to take it, nodding with a hint of regret on his face.

Then it said goodbye and left...

Watching Riolu walk away, Mingyou smiled calmly: "There are still more good Pokémon in this world!"

As he spoke, he used his phone to take a picture with everyone at the station entrance, then squatted down to share the photo with Ponpo and the others.

"Mmm~"

These photos are so beautiful!

"Hehe, let's go, let's get some lunch first!"

"Mmm~"

Mingyou put down her Rotom phone and suddenly noticed several vending machines not far away. She decided to buy a few bottles of refreshing soda to take with her.

So he walked forward and reached into his pocket, ready to take out his wallet, but... he instinctively stood still, a hint of doubt in his expression, as there seemed to be nothing in his pocket.

"I must have not slept well last night, I'm hallucinating... Wait, where's my wallet!"

……

In the distance, at a deserted alley corner after descending from the elevated pedestrian walkway, Riolu, carrying a bag, was walking alone. After confirming that there was nothing dirty following behind, the innocent smile on its face instantly turned into a sly smile!

"Leo~"

It opened its backpack, took out a convex helmet, and put the honey-glazed apple inside.

Then it took out an imposing sash and draped it over its shoulders, and then took out its elegant glasses and put them on its face. Looking at the bag, it saw that there was only a gold bead and some other miscellaneous items left. This was its haul for the day.

"Leo~"

It looked at a wallet in the bag, reached out and took it out; it had snatched it from some unlucky guy when it ran onto the train earlier.

Unfortunately, that guy was completely unmoved; there was clearly something good in his backpack, it smelled really good…

With a hint of regret, Riolu opened his wallet. He had thought that a trainer traveling with several Pokémon would have a lot of money, but he only had a little over two thousand dollars...

"Leo!"

Poor bastard!

After taking out the cash and the identification documents inside, Riolu casually tossed the wallet into the nearby trash can, hitting the skunk who was sleeping in the trash can on the head, and then walked away...
