Pokémon: Starting as a Farmer Instead of a Trainer

Chapter 204 This statue is ugly, tear it down and replace it with mine (Seeking monthly votes)

That afternoon, after Xiao Zhao left, Mingyou received a call from the administrator, saying that there was a meeting he needed to attend, so he made a special trip to Emerald Town again.

Needless to say, the meeting was about the future development of Beishang Township. Although the holiday was over, the aftermath of the poisonous sticky rice cake incident continued, with no tourists arriving for three consecutive days.

The news that Mingyou is in charge of planning the development of Beishang Township has already spread. Many old residents of Beishang Township oppose it, but their opposition is useless. The administrator has made up his mind to find a way out for Beishang Township.

Therefore, most of the people attending this meeting were talented young people from Beishang Township. Young people have a broader perspective, and they all admire Mingyou's abilities.

"So when will we start, for example, what kind of attractive things will we build in Beishang Township?"

"Let's wait and see, until this calms down."

"How long will it take?"

"It will take at least a month. By then it will be springtime, and the scenery in Beishang Township will be quite beautiful. I will shoot more vlogs and post them online. I will take care of the promotion, so you don't need to worry about it."

Mingyou already had his own plans. Now that a bunch of fruit trees had been planted around the manor, relying solely on the Sinnoh Alliance as a partner was no longer enough for him, so he needed to find new ones.

Once we have more partners, we can start considering building a railway in Beishang Township. We don't need to damage the environment of Beishang Township; as long as it's close by, it will be much more convenient for tourists to travel back and forth.

As for which region to cooperate with next, he is still thinking about it. He will not go out for at least the next two months, and will wait until the situation in Beishang Township is completely stable.

The meeting ended quickly, leaving some happy and some worried. The administrator was the most worried; he felt that Mingyou was not only getting something for nothing but also constantly making empty promises, but he couldn't refute anything...

After leaving the community center, Mingyou chatted with several young people from Kitakami Township, listened to their advice, and then, after saying goodbye, went to Momozawa Store alone to buy some things to take back.

Granny Momozawa isn't having an easy time either. All the poisonous sticky cakes were sold at her stall. Although she knows that Momoza was behind it all, she's been feeling guilty ever since she learned the truth...

"Grandma, I've come to buy some snacks."

"Just take it, young man, it's free."

"How can this be? Grandma, you have to cheer up! Everyone will still need to buy things from you in the future. Besides, Ponpo and the others were well taken care of by you the other day, and they were very happy."

After persuading Granny Momozawa, Naruto went into the store. Just as he was about to go to the shelf to buy some snacks for Snorlax and the others, an incredibly eye-catching figure slowly floated past him.

"Um?"

Following the movement of the other party, Mingyou looked and saw that it was a Pokémon with a huge dark green bud on its head that resembled a crown. The top of the bud had purple patterns, and several silver-gray tentacle-like structures supported the bud and extended it to a smaller head.

Its head is silver at the top and white at the chin. It has a small blue nose and mouth on its face, which looks quite cute. There are neatly arranged dark green pearl-shaped structures on its neck. Its arms are also dark green, as if it is wearing a long-sleeved shirt, revealing its small white hands.

Behind it is a pair of wings, the upper part of which is dark green, and the inside of the wings is evenly distributed with blue, gray and white colors. Below the wings is its gray-white body and slender, pure white legs, as if it is wearing a pair of white stockings. Its feet are off the ground, and it is suspended in mid-air.

[Cladrex: The King Pokémon, a legendary king from the Galar region. It loves the name children use for it, and therefore loves turnips and hates people who eat them. Those who worship turnips will easily gain its favor.]

"..."

Mingyou was silent for a moment, then rubbed her eyes, thinking she was seeing things and mistaking the moving turnip for a crown daisy.

"But a moving turnip is ridiculous! It's not like it's come to life!"

He snapped back to reality, and Rachel, who was paying with her Rotom phone after buying a box of red bean paste sticky rice cakes and heated Moo Moo milk, noticed his gaze, slowly turned around, and stared at him with a dignified look.

"What are you looking at? Haven't you ever seen such a big head before? Or are you going to convert to the 'Turnip Cult'?"

"What is the 'Big Turnip Cult'?"

There were too many things to complain about, and Mingyou was almost out of things to say. He didn't understand why the Rare Crown would suddenly come here from the Galar region, which is half a world away from Kitakami Village, and use a Rotom on their phone as if they were on vacation!

The other party could even use telepathy to transmit what they wanted to say directly into his mind. Latias hadn't learned this, and could only use simple mental power to tell him what they wanted to say directly...

Upon noticing that he was still staring at her and seemed a little off, the Crowned Lady appeared to sense something, took two steps back, and said seriously, "Don't get horny over turnips! That's extremely disrespectful!"

"..."

Mingyou fell completely silent, watching the Lady Crown King leave while eating sticky rice cakes and drinking milk. Only then did he come to his senses and hurriedly chase after her...

The Crowned King seemed unaware that he was being followed, or perhaps he was aware but too lazy to care. He began to stroll around Green Town in the falling snow. He had heard that it was a famous tourist attraction, and having come all this way, he was determined to explore it thoroughly.

Mingyou followed along, watching as the other person strolled around the community center, then wandered around the snow-covered farmland, and finally seemed to have discovered something interesting before heading towards Apple Hill.

It passes through Apple Hill and finally arrives at Ponpo Square, a place that overlooks the entire Green Town and is the best place to see the scenery of Beishang Township.

"Hmm, this place is not bad..."

After finishing his meal, King Rai-Crowned threw the leftovers into the trash can, then slowly floated to the statue of Ponpo, stopped, put his hands behind his back, and looked at the scenery of the emerald town covered in snow.

"Hmm, this really brings back memories for me. It feels like standing in the Crown Temple thousands of years ago, overlooking the entire Crown Snowfield. But the only thing that doesn't quite satisfy me is..."

As it spoke, it turned to look at the statue of Ponpo and shook its head: "This statue is not good-looking. Why not replace it with mine and put my heroic figure here..."

Before it could finish speaking, a melodious voice suddenly darted out, grabbing the bud of the unopened radiant flower atop its head and shouting, "You think you're so pretty, huh?!"

The bud of the Radiant Flower on the head of the Calycerin felt wonderful to the touch, soft and plump, like kneading a steamed bun. However, the Calycerin, whose head was being kneaded, widened its eyes and began to struggle.

"Don't pinch! Don't pinch! You need to exert force!"

"What do you mean, 'come out'...?"

Mingyou was slightly taken aback, and then was blasted away by the spiritual power surging out from the Radiant Flower. The buds of the Radiant Flower are usually used to store spiritual power, and if you hit them hard, you will be unable to control the release of it, which will knock the enemy away.

"I already told you not to pinch me anymore..."

The Queen of the Crane shook her head, then put her hands behind her back, her blue eyes shooting out a majestic light as she stared intently at Mingyou, who was getting up from the ground, and used her mental power to control her.

"It seems you must be a resident here. I happen to need a guide, so you can show me around. You can pay for it as compensation for the emotional distress caused by my earlier ambush."

"No...no problem...no problem? You'd be mad! I hate people who try to control me!"

The moment Mingyou stood up, she suddenly waved her hand and shouted, breaking free from the other party's mental control. Upon seeing this, the Queen of the Lace Crown was immediately stunned: "How come you weren't under my control? Oh no... I used up all my mental power by pinching you twice just now!"

"Are you sure you've used it all?"

"Um... well... if there's nothing else, I won't bother you anymore, I'll be going now..."
