Pokémon: Starting as a Farmer Instead of a Trainer

Chapter 164 Where did this Santa Claus come from!

"Don't scare me!"

When Xiao Zhao heard Mingyou say he wanted to eat more, she thought he had gone crazy from eating the sticky rice cake she made.

After all, this was the first time she had experienced such a reaction. She had made other desserts for Danyu and the others before, but at most she would only be dizzy for a while before waking up. How could she lie there all night like this?

Could it be that his skills have improved?

"I'm not stupid. Although the taste is hard to describe, I really think it's pretty good, haha. Maybe I won't be able to eat any other sticky rice cakes in the future."

Mingyou spoke very seriously, and this was his true feeling. After realizing that he was not trying to save face for her, Xiaozhao's expression gradually became incredulous, and she finally froze slightly.

"You...really like it?"

"Yes, can you make it if you have time? I'd like to try some other different desserts."

Mingyou asked softly, feeling that after eating the sticky rice cake made by Xiaozhao, he might not taste any other sticky rice cakes anymore.

"That... is no problem, as long as you can really accept the taste..."

Xiao Zhao's lips curled into a slight smile. Although she was worried about the other person's condition, she really liked what they said. As she gazed at them, she murmured to herself, "What a strange person..."

He finally breathed a sigh of relief. After signaling to Pengpeng and the others not to worry, he got off the bed, looked at Xiaozhao, and asked curiously, "By the way, how exactly do you make this kind of dessert?"

"I don't know... This happens whenever I make desserts, but I'm fine when I eat them myself, so I'm always careful not to put too much sugar in my cooking."

"No wonder your dishes tend to be on the heavier side; perhaps it's some kind of talent?"

"I'd rather not have this talent that's comparable to turning food into dark matter with my bare hands... But you must be hungry, I made breakfast."

"I'm a little hungry, let's go down."

"Um."

The two went downstairs. Xiao Zhao and Peng Peng went to the kitchen together. Just as Ming You was about to follow, she suddenly noticed that the TV in the living room was still on and there were many Pokémon gathered there.

"Um?"

Curious, he walked over and looked at Ralts, who seemed to have been up all night and was still playing games. He sighed, "Playing video games again? Take a break, okay... take a break..."

"Ralu!"

You're so annoying!

Ralts' personality became noticeably irritable while playing the game, but it was only after realizing that it was Naruto talking to it that it immediately put down the controller, curled up into a ball, and dared not make a sound.

Looking at it, Mingyou shook her head: "Games are for relaxation and entertainment, you can't play them day and night like this. The sun is already out outside, I'll take you home later."

"Ralu!"

Upon hearing that the other party was going to send it away, Ralts immediately became anxious. How could this be? It hadn't finished its game yet and didn't want to go home.

"You didn't go home all night, your companions must be worried sick looking for you everywhere. Think about them, they can come and visit anytime they want."

"Ralu..."

Upon hearing her companion's voice, Ralts lowered her head slightly and reluctantly put down the game controller, feeling that this time she might never be able to return... But if she didn't go, her older sister would definitely be very worried, right?

Mingyou didn't know what it was thinking, but she could tell that it did have a companion and was very conflicted. However, at this time, she couldn't really offer any advice, so she could only say some comforting words...

After finishing the breakfast Xiaozhao made, he took Ralts out to Greentown. Xiaozhao did not go with them, but instead helped take care of the manor, doing some chores such as shoveling snow, watering, and sweeping.

Upon arriving in Emerald Green Town, seeing the vast expanse of snow, he asked curiously, "Where do you live?"

"Ralu..."

It can go back on its own...

Just as Ralts was about to teleport away after leaving the back of the stag, a Kirlia suddenly appeared in a great hurry.

It grabbed Ralts's red antennae and angrily dragged it away from the snow, giving Ralts no chance to resist. It could only suffer in pain and cry as it was dragged away from there.

"Ralu..."

The incident happened so suddenly that Mingyou, sitting on the horned deer, didn't even have time to react. It took her a while to come to her senses: "This should be its older sister, right? It doesn't look like its mother. It looks like I'm going to get a beating when I get back, so I should probably restrain myself when playing games."

"Yo yo~"

"Let's go to the delivery station first. All the things we bought have arrived. Now that we have a delivery station, we don't have to wait at the door all day to sign for packages."

The rest stop is located next to the community center and is currently run by Electivire. All the gifts that Meiyu bought for her Pokémon arrived today.

Christmas is the day after tomorrow, and the gift needs to be given out tomorrow night. However, Ponpo hasn't said what he wants yet, which is making him very anxious.

"If a decision isn't made by tomorrow, I'll have to choose one myself, but I really can't guess what this child wants..."

After counting the gifts at the post station, he and the stag did not take them all home. Instead, they hid them in the haunted house and asked the Night Demon to take care of them temporarily to prevent the Pokémon from discovering them.

Unfortunately... even after the Santa Claus cosplay outfit he bought arrived the next day, Ponpo still hadn't given an answer.

Helpless, he could only choose a gift himself based on Ponpo's usual preferences.

That very evening...

The manor, covered in snow, was silent and dark all around, with only the lights on the Christmas tree flashing intermittently.

Inside, the Pokémon smiled and went to sleep early, waiting for Santa Claus to come and bring them the holiday gifts they wanted. Only from time to time, dark shadows would peek out from outside the window.

Meanwhile, near the haunted house.

No one dared to challenge the haunted house tonight, because Greentown is also holding Christmas events to cater to tourists, and everyone is enjoying the atmosphere there.

After leaving the haunted house, Mingyou and Xiaozhao had changed into cosplay outfits, wearing close-fitting red clothes and red hats, and standing together they looked like a couple wearing matching outfits.

However, Mingyou doesn't know how to buy clothes, so all her cosplay outfits are men's styles. Fortunately, Xiaozhao prefers men's styles because they don't expose her thighs. She has always been the type of person who dresses very conservatively.

"This outfit is quite warm."

Xiao Zhao tugged at her sleeve, nodded in satisfaction, then looked at Mingyou, who was holding a Rotom phone, and asked, "Can we go now?"

"Hmm, it seems like they're already asleep..."

Mingyou nodded gently.

This operation definitely involves more than just the two of them. Big Bear and Little Bear are helping out, as are the elders like Speed ​​Dog. The Deer is acting as a reindeer and has already been dressed in Christmas decorations to help pull the presents.

Mingyou put down her phone and greeted the Night Demon wearing a Santa hat.

The other party also needs to come and help this time, since it's quite difficult to secretly deliver all the gifts to the Pokémon without making a sound.

After arranging everything, he looked at Xiao Zhao, about to say something, but then he was stunned when he noticed her seriously adjusting her red hat.

"Hmm? What's wrong?"

Noticing the gaze, Xiao Zhao asked curiously.

Mingyou snapped out of her daze, looked away shyly, paused for a moment, and whispered, "You look quite cute in this outfit..."

"Well……"

Xiao Zhao's face flushed slightly, and she looked at the other person with a resentful gaze, replying, "Let's not talk about this now, we should get moving!"

"Um!"

The two rode on the horned reindeer. Don't ask why there are two Santa Clauses; the answer is... how dare you assume the number of Santa Clauses!

Anyway, it's just a fairy tale. How could Santa Claus possibly exist in real life?

Not to mention the flying reindeer; the idea that these are all the work of messenger birds and iron bundles is more believable than the existence of Santa Claus.

"Set off!"

"Yo yo~"

The stag let out a soft cry, then led them toward the manor, leaving two long tracks on the ground behind the sleigh carrying the gifts.

Snowflakes danced in the air, shining brightly against the colorful lights of the Christmas tree.

They made their way to the orchard, where they met up with the Growlithe and the others who were already waiting. They then hid and observed the area one last time to confirm the information.

"There are 53 gifts in total... that's a bit much, let's deliver them separately."

"Hmm, so, do we have to go up into the chimney?"

Xiao Zhao asked curiously. She wasn't afraid of being dirty; she just wanted to experience it.

After hearing this, Mingyou shook her head and rubbed her forehead: "We use a range hood at home, where would a chimney come from, sister..."

"Oh right, I forgot..."

Xiao Zhao's occasional dazed look was quite adorable. Mingyou paused for a second, looked away from the villa, and said seriously, "It's about time to start. I'll climb out the window to the second floor, and you can climb out the window to the first floor. Neither of them are locked."

Although the gate wasn't closed, it was obviously not a good idea to just walk in through it.

The two had agreed on their next move, but just as they stood up from the snow-covered bushes, a large white-bearded old man dressed in red also stood up not far away.

"Um?"

Hearing the noise, Mingyou and Xiaozhao looked at each other. The other person was round and chubby with a round face, very similar to the image of Santa Claus in fairy tales. He was also carrying a white gift bag in his hand. If you didn't know better, you would think that he was a messenger bird that had come to life.

The old man who resembled Santa Claus also looked over subconsciously, and both of them were quite surprised when they saw the other's attire.

"Where did Santa Claus come from!"

Both sides agreed that this was destined to be a night that was both somewhat turbulent and heartwarming...
