Pokémon: Starting as a Farmer Instead of a Trainer

Chapter 176 The Idea of ​​a Pokémon Video Game Store (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

A moment later, it was dinner time.

Qishu, with a large bulge on her head, obediently savored the delicious dish made with vegetables from the manor. Her assistant, who had just woken up, was also unaware of what had happened, but remained silent along with her.

"Sometimes, it's best not to take jokes too far..."

"Okay..."

Watching Qishu honestly respond to Xiaozhao, Mingyou hesitated to speak. Xiaozhao was truly gentle and reliable when she was gentle. Although she rarely got angry, she was really scary when she was angry.

At this moment, although Danyu was not there, Mingyou still apologized to Qishu for what happened at the hot spring that afternoon. An apology was still necessary.

"It's alright, it's alright. I wouldn't stoop to arguing with a little kid."

Qi Shu smiled and waved, but his assistant beside him was sweating bullets. Who was it that had been cursing on the way back? He couldn't remember…

After the meal, the two said goodbye and left. They had to go to Hualan City to catch a plane tomorrow, so they needed to go back and rest early.

It didn't snow that night, and the two quickly returned to Emerald Town. The Christmas trees along the streets were still there, and tourists enjoying barbecues could be seen everywhere, but they no longer had the appetite to eat any of that.

"Although it's really fierce... I have to say, Xiao Zhao's cooking skills are really good, as are the special vegetables in the boss's house."

Qi Shu had a hint of reminiscence on his face, while his assistant shook his head. "It's not that you keep joking around with people and Boss Mingyou, but they're just being mean to you for no reason."

Taking care of this nearly forty-year-old "child" every day was quite a headache for the assistant. She then glanced at the Momozawa Shop, which was still open at this hour, and asked, "Would you like to buy some sticky rice cakes?"

After a moment of contemplation, Qi Shu shook his head: "Suddenly I don't want to eat anymore... Come to think of it, why did I eat this in the first place? Was it really that delicious?"

"have no idea……"

In the end, neither of them went to the Momozawa store; instead, they returned to the community center and rested early…

The next morning.

After breakfast, Xiao Zhao planned to go to Emerald Town to help investigate the "ghost" matter. Ming You stood at the door and waved with Peng Peng: "Remember to say hello to Wu Li for me and Peng Peng."

"Okay, I'll be going now."

"Be careful, come back for lunch~"

Watching Xiao Zhao ride away on the horned deer, Mingyou took a deep breath, looked at the snow-covered orchard, and knew it was time to start her work for the day. These were the last few days of the year; she would finish her work and then go to rest.

He and the cuddly bears he was helping went to the orchard to ship out all the orders that had piled up yesterday. Meanwhile, the other bears returned to the living room and continued to huddle together on the sofa, taking turns playing games...

"Gambit~"

The little Snorlax grabbed a handful of potato chips from the bag, put them in its mouth, and held a game controller in its hand, controlling the squid on the screen to spray ink everywhere.

Besides eating and sleeping, it has found a third thing to do every day: play video games. If it continues like this, it will get fatter and fatter.

Latias, however, was very dissatisfied. It was one thing for Snorlax not to listen to her commands, but every time it touched the handle with its paws that were used to grab potato chips, it got oily all over the place. Latias, who was a germaphobe, simply couldn't accept this.

But she was too embarrassed to snatch the controller away, since everyone had agreed to take turns playing and she couldn't break the rules.

So when exactly will it evolve into Snorlax? Then I won't be able to play games anymore, but I can let her lie comfortably on my belly and play.

The large Snorlax plushie she wanted for Christmas last time has already been snatched away by the bear cubs, and she's too embarrassed to take it back... Even the most willful child will be helpless when faced with a naughty child.

Riolu stood to the side; it didn't play games, its main task was to watch over them and prevent them from fighting.

Garchomp wanted to play the game, but it was worried that its claws would break the controller, so it could only watch from the sidelines...

Snorlax is very good at video games. It can use up one life at a time before starting the next game, which makes the bear cubs stomp their feet in frustration. Even the most mischievous child will be helpless when faced with an older child who ignores them.

In this warm yet potentially explosive atmosphere, whenever someone makes a hilarious mistake, everyone spontaneously bursts into laughter – that's the charm of the game.

At the same time, a pair of small white hands quietly pushed open the half-closed door...

"Ralu..."

Ralts stared warily inside. Today it finally had another chance. While its sister was out in Greentown looking for food, it could sneak out and use Teleport to get here quickly.

Thankfully, following the footprints left by the elk, it didn't go astray. Now, everything is covered in snow, a vast expanse of white, and wandering around aimlessly could easily lead to getting lost; it's really dangerous...

Watching everyone happily playing games on the sofa, it put its little hands on its chest, its expression full of envy... envious that they could do this every day.

"Ralu!"

It wants to play with everyone too!

Cautiously... the dog sneaks around...

Ralts tried to remain silent and slipped away quietly, successfully joining the queue behind a bear cub without being noticed.

Only when it got closer did it realize that everyone was playing a game where squid spray ink. Although it looked quite interesting, it preferred to play the Pokémon game where it was a trainer, which it had played last time.

I don't know if I can switch to that one, because I've been playing all night and still haven't finished. As a Pokémon, experiencing being a trainer in the game, catching Pokémon and battling is just amazing!

"Ralu..."

After waiting for quite a while, it finally got to be in line. It remained silent the whole time and didn't dare to talk to anyone, but it still got the controller, and it seemed that no one even noticed that there was an extra Pokémon here.

"Ralu~"

Ralts wanted to figure out how to switch games, but it found that everyone was looking at the screen, so it was too embarrassed to switch to the game it wanted to play. It could only continue playing the squid that sprays ink.

Although it was my first time playing, I had watched for a long time and had a general understanding of the controls, so I picked it up very quickly and didn't make any mistakes. I dominated the opponent and had a crushing victory in low-elo games!

"Waaah..."

Latias was stunned. Was he really that strong?

Hearing everyone's exclamations, Snorlax, who was eating potato chips with Slowpoke, came over curiously.

"Gambit?"

Ralts started another game and dominated again, as the opponent's skills and awareness were simply not on the same level as it.

Seeing this, Munchlax felt a surge of competitive spirit. How could it lose to other Pokémon in its area of ​​expertise? It was the real otaku!

Unfortunately, there's only one Switch OLED, so they're destined never to have a chance to battle here.

After a long while, it finally waited for Ralts to make a mistake, and then successfully took over the controller and began to operate it. Then it was Ralts's turn to watch its operation and gradually developed a competitive spirit...

By 11 a.m., Mingyou had finally finished shipping all the orders that had accumulated yesterday. As for today's new orders, unless they were for extra money or expedited processing, he would ship them out the next day.

This is more convenient and easier, since his manor doesn't have any employees working for him; it's all the Pokémon living there who voluntarily help him.

"It's almost time to start cooking..."

Mingyou glanced at the time, then walked into the living room. Noticing the noise coming from the sofa, she smiled and went over, intending to let everyone rest before having dinner.

It would have been better if they hadn't come over. As soon as they got closer, they found a familiar green bowl cut Ralts sitting on the sofa. Ralts had somehow wandered in and was playing games with everyone!

But the atmosphere wasn't exactly harmonious...

"What are you doing?"

Mingyou crossed her arms and didn't disturb them, just stood behind and watched.

It soon became clear that Ralts and Munchlax were competing to see who had better skills, but unfortunately there was only one game console, so they had to take turns playing.

This is interesting...

Mingyou showed an interested expression, suddenly recalling his previous idea of ​​opening a video game store at home, which might actually be worthwhile.

"Why don't we give it a try? If everyone's crammed together, it's easy for them to start fighting over things, and besides..."

He looked at Garchomp, who really wanted to play with everyone but couldn't. There should be game controllers online that are specifically designed for different Pokémon.

You could buy it and try it out first. If it's good, and you're not worried about making money, opening a Pokémon video game store to let people pass the time and relax would be a great idea!
