Pokémon: Starting as a Farmer Instead of a Trainer

Chapter 128 The Fishing Plan

After Mingyou returned the Moon Bear to its ball, she went out with Latias. Ponpo quickly followed, but because it was wearing a demon mask, the other party could not see its current emotions.

But their relationship and kinship meant they didn't need to observe each other's expressions anymore. When Pengpeng quickly caught up, Mingyou sensed something was wrong.

"What's wrong? You seem very sad, and also a little angry..."

"Hmm..."

Ponpon took his hand, as if it calmed her down, and then responded softly.

"Is there something you want to tell me?"

Mingyou paused for a moment, then gently patted its head and said, "Let's wait until we get back to the hotel. There won't be any problems then. You can talk to me for as long as you want. If you have anything that's making you sad or upset, don't keep it to yourself, understand?"

"Mmm~"

Hearing this, Ponpo's mood improved instantly. She then hugged Mingyou, and Latias, who was walking beside her, immediately said that he wanted to do the same.

"I just can't do anything with you guys..."

Mingyou could only indulge the two of them as they walked out of the cave together, where they bumped into Zhulan and the others who were looking for them. Then, the sound of a camera shutter rang out.

"I captured an incredibly rare scene. If you don't want me to post it, quickly DM me for 50 and I'll treat you to fried chicken~"

Shali, holding the camera, spoke in a joking tone. Zhulan coughed twice and looked away, saying, "Cough cough... just pretend you didn't see anything."

"Turns out he's a siscon... How disgusting."

Xiao Guang said with a look of disgust, "No wonder he always takes his two younger sisters with him wherever he goes."

Xiao Gang, standing to the side, rubbed his forehead and shook his head: "He's still too young. He doesn't understand the value of older women. Those hot, curvaceous older women are what all of us men should be pursuing!"

"..."

Mingyou was speechless...

Only Xiao Zhi, the blockhead, didn't connect the dots at all. Instead, he smiled and said, "It's good that you're alright. We were just about to go in to look for you when we noticed you hadn't come out. Did you find anything?"

"That's right!"

Seizing the opportunity to change the subject, Mingyou opened the box in her hand, and Zhulan was full of surprise when the emerald green stone slab appeared.

"Where did you find it?"

"At Grandma Xipu's tombstone, I gently touched the tombstone, and the box popped out of the ground. There must be some kind of mechanism."

In fact, Mingyou understood that Heyuexiong must have used his ability to move the soil, just like last time in the Eternal Forest. However, he did not want Heyuexiong's identity to be known by others for the time being.

Hearing this, no one suspected anything. Zhu Lan lightly slapped her forehead. It was a mechanism that had been triggered. Who in their right mind would have thought of that? It was truly a wonder that Ming You was able to discover the mechanism on the tombstone...

The topic shift was very successful. Now everyone has forgotten what happened earlier and is gathered together, examining the legendary emerald green stone slab.

This is the first time Zhu Lan has seen it in person; in fact, there are quite a few similar stone slabs.

But only this special stone slab truly possesses the power of the Great Lord of the Divine Realm, and the stone slab before us is not its true form!

"Um?"

She noticed the withered yellow paper next to the stone slab, so she put on gloves, gently picked it up, and unfolded it under everyone's curious gaze.

"This contains some information about Yupu... She is a manager of the Pearl Team during the Washing Green Era, responsible for taking care of Moon Bear, one of the ten 'Kings,' and Miss Skirt, who takes her care of in her place."

"It mentions that after Ursaring left with its trainer and completed its mission, it placed the Earth Slab in the Ursaring Arena. Yuu originally intended to end her life there, but a tsunami swallowed the Ursaring Arena and she could never be found again."

"So she and her family went out to sea to search for her, but ended up on Lily of the Valley. Exhausted from the journey, she had no more energy and ended her life on Lily of the Valley... It seems that the current residents of Lily of the Valley are her descendants from many generations ago."

Zhu Lan sighed. The above also mentioned the matter of the emerald green stone slab. It was originally meant to be given to a certain leader of the Vajra Team, but due to various reasons, it was missed. In the end, her descendants could only help by sending a note to inform the other party of the stone slab's whereabouts.

This is to prevent the stone tablet from falling into the hands of bad people, but as long as one is determined to get the stone tablet back, one will surely be able to decipher the text on the note from the Random Relics, because Yuu was once a guardian of the Random Relics.

"It really is related to carelessly leaving behind ruins..."

Zhu Lan nodded gently. There was nothing else on the paper, but Sha Li, standing beside her, looked at a certain part of it and murmured, "Kongo Team..."

"What's wrong?"

"I heard about this from my mother when I was a child. It seems that my ancestor was the captain of the Kongo Team. Later, the Kongo Team disbanded and everyone went their separate ways. I never expected that we would have so many connections."

Sha Li smiled and explained, and everyone then understood that it was indeed quite a coincidence.

"Perhaps it really is fate~"

Mingyou believes in this, after all, the bond will never be broken, and even if they are separated in different parts of the world, they will still meet by chance one day.

He then looked at the emerald green stone slab and said, "However, I'll keep this stone slab. My manor in Beishang Township is waiting for it to come and save it..."

After all, winter will arrive next month, and many Pokémon in the manor will either migrate or hibernate. Only Pokémon living in the city don't have such requirements, so he really needs the Emerald Slate to see if he can use its power to turn the manor into springtime, so he won't have to worry.

After listening to what he said, Zhulan expressed her understanding. After all, the Sinnoh Pokémon League had just reached a cooperation agreement with them, and the more the farm harvested, the greater their profits would be.

But she also really wanted to study it... After all, this was the tablet of the Great Lord Sinnoh, and no mythologist could sit still for long!

Zhu Lan bit her lip, looking like a conflicted little girl. After a while, she finally made a decision: "Alright then, but can I give it to you when you leave? You can't take it with you now anyway, so let me study it."

"no problem."

Mingyou had no objections; the condition was perfectly acceptable.

However, Cynthia smiled confidently and said, "And I have another plan... Didn't they say Team Galactic was looking for the Slate? But now the Slate is in our hands!"

"Does Sister Zhulan mean something like...?"

"That's right, I want to use this stone slab to lure out those Team Galactic members, and then..."

"Catch them all in one fell swoop!"

The last sentence was shouted out by everyone. This fishing plan is indeed very good. I believe that in order to find the Red Sun, Team Galactic will definitely not take the biggest risk to seize the stone tablet.

"Let us help!"

Ash volunteered, but Cynthia shook her head and refused: "You should focus on participating in the Lily of the Valley Conference. I'll take care of things!"

"Oh well……"

Ash wasn't too discouraged, after all, the Lily of the Valley Conference was his most important thing right now.

But since Mingyou wasn't participating, he was free, so he said with a smile, "Then let me do it. I can go and get my friend's things back!"

The Earth Slab of the Moon Bear and Xiao Zhao's Strange Sphere are now in the hands of Team Galaxy, and he has an obligation to take them all back!

Seeing that he wanted to participate, Zhu Lan nodded gently: "That would be a lot of trouble. However, we'll discuss the detailed plans later. It's getting late, so let's go down the mountain for dinner first. It's on me today!"

"Yay!"

Sally smiled, raised her right hand, and jumped. Mingyou was also very happy. She believed that Munchlax would be even happier. It was impossible for Munchlax to eat Cyndaquil out of house and home, right?

They then went down the mountain together and left. Ash walked in front, discussing Pokémon-related matters with Cynthia, while Sally was taking pictures of the surrounding scenery. Brock, who had tried to "attack" Sally earlier but was defeated by Croagunk, was being dragged away.

"Giggity~"

Mingyou saw Xiaoguang talking to Bojiaman, so she took the initiative to walk over and talk to her about Xiaozhao wanting her friend slot.

Xiao Guang readily agreed, then took out his Rotom phone and started working on it: "I've sent the friend request. I'm looking forward to having a good chat with her tonight. Maybe she really is my long-lost sister!"

"Impossible..."

Mingyou shook her head and pointed, "More like your ancestor..."

……

I went to get an IV drip again this afternoon, so I don't have much time to write. I'll post two more chapters around midnight.
