Pokémon: Starting as a Farmer Instead of a Trainer

Chapter 121 Darkrai and Darkrai

Seeing Snorlax being switched out, Ash shouted expectantly, "Next one, hurry up!"

However, he was going to be disappointed. Mingyou shook his head and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I only have these two Pokémon available for battle, unless you don't mind battling Ursaring..."

As he spoke, he turned to look at Ursaring. After all, his initial plan was just to have Snorlax and Snorlax fight each other. Smokecha wasn't his Pokémon, so... there was no other way.

But upon hearing this, Ash became even more excited: "A battle with Ursaring... Let's go!"

"Awooo..."

Is everything alright...?

The Moon Bear had a listless, deadpan expression as it walked up and stood next to Snorlax, its size even two heads taller than the other's.

It was indeed very intimidating. Xiao Guang subconsciously took a half step back, and Bogarman shrank into a ball. Probably no one would have thought that the fierce-looking Heyue Xiong was actually very gentle.

"The battle has begun! A million-ton punch!"

Ash waved and shouted, and Snorlax unleashed a punch that struck the fur of Ursaring, which was covered by soil as hard as steel, but there was no reaction.

"What...?"

"Power Bomb!"

Hearing Mingyou's command, the Moonbeam instantly increased its momentum, condensing a ball of energy in its right palm and forcefully pushing it out, striking the belly of the Snorlax in front of it. With a loud bang, even a sonic boom was heard, and the Snorlax's body flew backward and crashed into a tree in the distance.

The battle ended before it even began...

The difference in strength was enormous; this was only because Umbreon had held back, otherwise Snorlax could have flown even further.

Ash and Dawn were all stunned: "So strong... just how powerful is this Pokémon?"

"After all, it's Heyue..."

Mingyou smiled calmly. Only he and Xiaozhao knew about Heyuexiong's past.

But all you need to know is that when Ursaring was once the "King", it defeated three Mythical Pokémon and Arceus's clone with its companions. Even though it has lost the power of the "King", its strength is still not to be underestimated!

But just then, Ash turned around excitedly, looked at Naruto, and exclaimed, "You're so strong! Can I battle you again in the future?!"

"Um...of course."

Mingyou nodded in agreement. Who knew if they would ever see each other again after the Suzuran Tournament?

The warm-up session ended just like that, and before we knew it, it was lunchtime.

Mingyou extended the invitation again, and this time she did not refuse. After all, it was already so late, and they could wait until they finished eating before doing anything else.

"Let's go then."

The group arrived at the canteen provided by the venue. Players could eat for free by showing their player ID, while others had to pay. However, Pokémon food and energy cubes were free.

But Mingyou never lets her Pokémon eat these things. If there's good food, of course they should eat it. Why should they eat food that looks like cat or dog food? So she lets Ponpo and the others choose their own meals.

Xiao Gang was puzzled: "For Pokémon, Pokémon food is obviously better, right? Many human foods are harmful to them, for example, Arcanine can't eat chocolate..."

"That's because the purity is too low."

Mingyou shook his head, interrupting him. Although everyone has their own understanding, we need to broaden our thinking. Arcanine can't eat chocolate? Then let's process the chocolate until Arcanine can eat it and it's even beneficial to him!

He treats his Pokémon like his own children. He makes whatever his Pokémon like to eat and never listens to the nonsense from so-called experts online. Pokémon are not pets, they are companions!

"..."

Xiao Gang was stunned by Ming You's remarks. From the perspective of a professional breeder, these words were completely misleading and should even be posted online for severe criticism.

However, if we look at it from the perspective of Pokémon, it's a completely different understanding. It's a very simple logic: before Pokémon food was invented, did Pokémon have nothing to eat?

They still eat whatever they want, and there are even rumors that ancient Pokémon were generally stronger than modern Pokémon... but there is no factual basis for this.

"I see……"

Xiao Gang finally understood, but the next second Mingyou added, "Remember to learn more about medicine, so that if you have any problems with what you eat, you can get timely treatment."

"..."

A moment later, Mingyou returned to the dining table with the food and Ponpo. She found that only Xiaoguang was already sitting there, as girls usually eat less.

After greeting him, he sat down opposite him, thought for a moment, and finally made a decision. He took out his phone, Rotom, and looked at Xiaoguang with an embarrassed expression.

"Um... would it be convenient for me to take a picture of you? After all, it's not good to take pictures without permission... Um, don't get me wrong, it's because you look a lot like a friend of mine, and I want to send her a picture of you."

"what?"

Hikari paused for a moment, then smiled and replied, "It's okay. Just say you want to take a picture. There's no need to make excuses. After all, I'm a Coordinator, and it's common for people to ask me to take pictures..."

Before she could finish speaking, she saw the photo on Mingyou's phone, taken on the last day of the Hidden Face Festival, which was the only photo on the phone.

Looking at Xiao Zhao's face, Xiao Guang was completely stunned, his face filled with disbelief: "This..."

"Haha, I told you, you two look alike."

"It really is... if you look at the face, this is totally me, okay? Could it be that my mom secretly hid the fact that I have an older sister?"

"That's impossible..."

"Maybe?"

Xiao Guang became completely interested and then asked curiously, "What's this lady's name?"

"Her name is Xiaozhao, she is also a trainer, and now she is a teacher at Blueberry Academy."

Mingyou gave an introduction, but Xiaoguang stared at the small photo of someone being grabbed in the picture, his smile gradually turning strange, and asked, "You two seem to have a very close relationship~ Could this older sister be your girlfriend? You two do seem quite well-matched~"

"what?"

Upon hearing this, Mingyou's mind went blank for a few seconds before she finally came to her senses and quickly waved her hand to explain, "Don't talk nonsense, this... is just a friendship."

"Ehhhhh"

"Don't drag out the sound!"

Mingyou was a little scared by Xiaoguang's cunning gaze. Was it so hard to just want a photo and send it to Xiaozhao to see?

Just as he was feeling somewhat at a loss, he inexplicably felt a chill, his heart trembled, and he subconsciously looked to the side.

A long-haired man in a red cloak was seen passing by carrying a tray. In his shadow, another figure slowly emerged, watching them.

It was a black Pokémon, like a shadow, hovering in mid-air, with a head of white hair that kept rolling around, covering most of its face, revealing only a pair of bright blue eyes.

Around its neck, there was a red, serrated object resembling a collar, and a long, black tattered cloth hung from each of its shoulders. Its hands were shaped like black claws, making it look quite handsome, yet also giving off a chillingly eerie feeling...

Darkrai: A dark Pokémon, a terrifying being that brings nightmares to living beings. Although it is not malicious, it is best not to approach it casually. To gain its favor, it needs to be recognized by its trainer's strength.

"The trainer rumored to have Darkrai... Darkrai?"

Mingyou calmly gazed at the other, while Darkrai had already vanished into the shadows.

But perhaps sensing his gaze, Dakdo turned his head, meeting his eyes, and smiled before looking away.

"Hmm..."

It looks so scary...

Ponpo hugged Mingyou's leg and watched Darkrai walk away, somewhat frightened by Darkrai.

Mingyou gently stroked its head and said, "What are you afraid of? It's hard to say who's afraid of whom if we really run into each other. Let's give it a couple of whacks and see if it's still fierce."
