Pokémon: Starting as a Farmer Instead of a Trainer

Chapter 208 TV Program Interview (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Hearing Qishu's reminder, Mingyou seemed confused. Logically speaking, shouldn't the TV station have notified her first before coming to the manor for an interview?

And why was the first TV station to interview them from the Padiya region, which is half a world away from Kitakami Township?

After hesitating for a moment, Qi Shu cried loudly on the phone and apologized to his doubts.

"Sorry! It was Qishu who accidentally revealed during his live stream that your hometown is Niangguang City! Waaah! Please forgive Qishu... I've caused you trouble again!"

The fruit sold in bulk by the Mingyou family is generally sold in the Sinnoh region and the surrounding Kanto area. It is difficult to find in the markets in Padilla unless purchased individually online.

But after all this time, various rumors about these fruits have already spread online, and Mingyou's new account on Pokemon TV last month has attracted a lot of fans.

Many people are actually more interested in him as a person than in the fruit, but it's hard to find information about Mingyou's past experiences online, as if he suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

Such a background makes it even more interesting. In addition, since Kiki accidentally revealed that Naruyu is from Padia City, the local TV station will naturally not let this opportunity pass!

"I see……"

Mingyou nodded gently. Fortunately, he had finished most of his work recently, so even when facing interviews, he wouldn't seem too tired and would have more time to prepare. It wasn't a big deal; in fact, it might have increased his online traffic.

After a moment's thought, he nodded slightly and replied with a smile, "Alright then, I'll deal with them. But is there a schedule for them to come?"

Hearing that he had no objections, Qi Shu on the other end of the phone immediately stopped crying, his expression changing faster than flipping through a book. He laughed and said, "They'll probably contact you in the next couple of days, at the earliest before Valentine's Day next week. They'll definitely be doing street interviews in Niangguang City during Valentine's Day and won't have time to go. But you can arrange your own time to be interviewed."

"Well, let them come over in the next few days. I don't like to delay resolving things."

"Hehe~ That's all for now, I'm going to sleep too. Remember to mention Kiju during the interview in a few days~ If I have time sometime, I'll come to your video game store to film a video~"

"no problem."

After hanging up the phone, Mingyou stood there, looking up at the orchard outside, and murmured, "Niangguang TV station... When I was little, my parents and I often watched this channel's programs while eating. I never thought that one day I would be on TV, haha."

Recalling some past events, Mingyou smiled. It had been almost a year since she had returned, and she suddenly had the idea of ​​going back to Niangguang City to see how her friends and neighbors were doing.

But his smile vanished the next second. His gaze towards Guolin seemed to have caught something, and Mingyou's smile abruptly stopped...

"Who broke the tree of resurrection again!"

"Hmm..."

At lunchtime, Ponpo acted like a child who had made a mistake, staying very obediently beside Mingyou, head down, waiting for her to scold him.

It was all because I lost control of my emotions that I broke all those trees...

Mingyou learned about the situation from the Moon Bears and the others, and couldn't help but shake her head and rub her forehead. Looking at the Calycerin King wrapped up like a dumpling, she asked helplessly, "Do you usually lift up children's skirts when you walk down the street? This isn't just a minor crime; it needs to be locked in a cage!"

"Don't slander me! I would never do such a thing!"

"Then why did you lift Ponpo's clothes!"

"Well..."

The Crowned King gradually fell silent, and everyone's eyes fell on it. They were ready to give it another good beating, and the buds on its head were almost withered from fright. Finally, it explained the reason.

Upon hearing this, Mingyou instantly guessed what the other person was talking about: "The power that makes the manor's vegetation lush and green? You mean the emerald green stone slabs?"

As he spoke, he gestured for Ponpo to hand him the emerald green stone tablet hidden in his cloak. Upon seeing the tablet, the Calycerin King's eyes lit up. Pointing at it, he exclaimed, "Yes! This is it! Such pure grass energy, I've never seen anything like it before!"

"After all, this is the tablet of the Great Sage Sinnoh, so its energy is naturally pure. But do you want to use it?"

Mingyou held the stone slab and deliberately inquired, since the emerald green stone slab was very important to her manor, maintaining the vitality of the plants. If the other party wanted it, then they would have to exchange it for something of equal value.

Faced with the problem, Calyrex wasn't stupid. Although it didn't know what the Sinnoh Grandmaster was, it was clear about the value of the stone tablet. To obtain it, it would definitely have to pay a very high price!

"..."

Calycerin fell into deep thought. It desperately needed the Emerald Slate, but was it worth selling itself for that power? It was the legendary king who had once ruled the Galar region, and it had its own dignity!

"How so?"

Mingyou handed the stone slab to it and continued to ask questions.

But the Queen of the Rachel could no longer tolerate such an insult, which was like charity. She raised her head, her majestic and cold eyes staring straight ahead, and shouted righteously!

"You think you can bribe me with stone tablets? This is an insult to me as the King of Legends!"

The Crowned King wanted to rebuke it loudly, but faced with the emerald green stone slab offered to it, it still reached out and took it... Dignity can't fill an empty stomach, it's better to restore its strength.

Seeing that it accepted, Mingyou nodded gently and said with a smile, "The emerald green stone slab will be kept in your possession for the time being. I hope you can make good use of your power as the King of Abundance. In a while, it will be early spring. You should be able to do something as simple as making Beishang Township bloom with flowers and turn the grass green in an instant, right?"

"So easy!"

With the stone slab in its hand, the Crowned King could easily accomplish not only these things, but also make all the crops in the entire manor have a bountiful harvest in an instant.

But Mingyou didn't intend to do that, otherwise he would be exhausted, and market saturation was not a good thing. Besides, he didn't force the Queen of the Raiguan to do anything; he just asked her to help him out a little.

Once early spring arrives in Beishang Township, we can begin to relaunch tourism promotion efforts...

Latias and the others were somewhat dissatisfied as they watched the Calyrex take away Ponpon's emerald green stone slab. They felt that turnips should be planted in the ground!

But Ponpo didn't care. It was its own fault for not controlling its emotions, which led to the severe injury of the Calycanthus. It was too busy apologizing to even think about it. As long as Mingyou had no objections, it wouldn't have any either.

Moreover, the Lacecrown King had no ill intentions; it simply wanted to find the Emerald Slab and didn't intentionally lift its cloak. It wasn't a big deal...

Time flew by and it was evening. It was morning in the Padiya region. Mingyou had just finished breakfast when he received an email from Niangguang TV, inviting him to visit and interview them.

"no problem!"

Mingyou immediately dialed the number on the email and contacted the person in charge at the TV station. After a brief exchange, they set a time for the interview this weekend.

After hanging up the phone, he stretched, a smile on his face, and stood at the villa entrance gazing at the orchard outside. He sighed, "Finally, I'm going to be on TV. I wonder what kind of expressions my friends and neighbors who took care of me in Niangguang City will have when they see me on TV. They'll probably all be very surprised, right?"

"Indeed... it's time to go back to my hometown and take a look!"
