Pokémon: Starting as a Farmer Instead of a Trainer

Chapter 222 Overnight Stay, Urban Legends of Rotom Cellphone (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

After chatting with Aunt Lark for a while, Mingyou didn't press her for details about what had happened at her home, and went upstairs with Ponpon and the others to go home.

At this moment, all he could think about was that dream monster; memories kept resurfacing...

It wasn't until he reached the third floor and saw the familiar security door that his thoughts were finally brought back to reality. He took the key out of his pocket, inserted it, and turned it.

As the door was unlocked, he reached out and gently pushed it inside. A faint musty smell mixed with dust wafted out, and the room was cold and dim.

He casually touched the light switch, but whether it was because he hadn't paid the electricity bill or the light was broken, the living room light didn't turn on. He had no choice but to follow the route he remembered to open the curtains. The dazzling sunlight instantly poured in, and tiny dust particles danced gently in the light.

"Still the same as always..."

After opening the windows to ventilate the room, Mingyou surveyed the living room, where the old furniture was arranged exactly as it had always been.

A dusty Psyduck plush toy on the sofa, a Nighthawk clock on the wall, a Pikachu-shaped music box on the TV cabinet, and a family photo on the bookshelf.

He stepped forward, picked up the photo frame, and his parents' faces were no longer visible under the dust. In addition to the three of them, there were several of his parents' Pokémon, and a Misdreavus biting his hair, which he struggled to shake off with his hands.

"Dream Demon..."

Mingyou murmured softly, her mood gradually sinking as she recalled everything about the dream demon in her mind.

As a child, I suffered a head injury that left me with mental problems, making me particularly susceptible to being fooled. Once, I went out to play with other kids from my neighborhood and found a Pokémon egg on a tree on the outskirts of Nimbus City.

I remember back then, those kids tricked him into thinking that this egg could be used to make tea eggs, so he happily took the Pokémon egg home, and as you can imagine, he got a scolding from his parents.

His parents were going to take him back the Pokémon egg the next morning, but to their surprise, the egg hatched that very night, and it turned out to be a cute little Misdreavus.

Many Pokémon have a habit of developing a liking for the first person they see after hatching from their eggs, and that Misdreavus was no exception.

So much so that whenever they tried to get rid of it, it would immediately burst into tears, its terrifying cries keeping the entire neighborhood awake. Left with no other choice, the parents had to adopt the dream monster.

Several years ago, when my parents were in a plane crash while on their way to work, Misdreavus was on the plane with them. I remember that the initial report said that everyone on the plane and all the Pokémon had perished. I never expected that Misdreavus would still be alive.

Perhaps it's because of the Ghost type...

"It must have taken several years to find its way home. Not seeing its family must have been very sad."

"Hmm..."

Noticing Mingyou's change in mood, Ponpo gently patted him to comfort him.

"It's okay, don't worry."

Mingyou put down the photo frame and planned to ask around the neighborhood tomorrow. Although Aunt Yunque said that Mengyao hadn't come back for several months, perhaps someone around the neighborhood had seen it.

I really should have come back sooner...

They would be staying here for the next few days, and Ponpo and Leo took the initiative to clean the house, sweeping away all the dust.

Mingyou was investigating the problem of no electricity at home and soon discovered that the electricity bill had not been paid. After paying the outstanding amount, the electricity was finally restored.

[Remember the fastest online novel website: 20 ...

He then leaned back on the sofa and rested for a while to relieve his fatigue. He was overcome with drowsiness and quietly fell asleep until a knock came at the door, which woke him up slowly.

Only then did he suddenly realize that he had somehow ended up lying on the sofa, with Ponpo resting beside him, letting him rest his head on its lap...

"She actually fell asleep."

Mingyou shook her head slightly, stood up, and found that besides Ponpo, only Riolu and Ralts were still at home. Heyue did not come with them this time. Xiongda wanted to stay at home to help take care of the manor, so that Team Rocket would not jump out to make their presence known again.

He went to open the door, and there was Aunt Yun Que outside. She had prepared the meal and was calling him over to eat. He immediately felt a little embarrassed: "I was going to cook... but I accidentally fell asleep."

"Haha, you've become more sensible now. Let's invite your Pokémon over to eat together."

"Um."

Watching Aunt Lark leave, Mingyou felt like she was the one being taken care of again. After waking up Ponpon and the others, they went downstairs to each other's house.

I wonder where Latias and the others have gone off to play. I'll look for them after dinner...

As Mingyou stepped into Aunt Yunque's house, the aroma of food wafted over her, a taste she remembered, and a smile appeared on her face.

But as I walked closer, I felt something was different. The house seemed much quieter. There was no sign of the aunt's husband or children. Thinking back to what she had said earlier, could it be related to this?

I remember that her husband worked at an internet company in Niangguang City, and their child attended Orange Academy. Their family was quite well-off.

Realizing this, Mingyou decided not to ask any further, lest she hurt the other person's feelings. She would ask other people in the neighborhood later; someone should know the answer.

During the meal, Aunt Yun Que asked him about his recent situation. He only remembered that he seemed to have gone to see his grandfather, but he didn't know much else.

"I'm taking care of the estate my grandfather left behind in Beishang Township. The Niangguang TV station came to interview me recently, and I think they even did a special program about it?"

"The manor in Beishang Township? Could it be the one that sells fruit? I heard the owner is from Niangguang City, I didn't expect it to be you!"

Aunt Lark was very surprised. After all, she worked at the Pokémon Center and came into contact with many trainers, so she knew a lot about these things. But she never expected that she would be involved with Naruto.

"Haha, it's really nothing, it's all thanks to Grandpa who left me so many things..."

Mingyou responded with a smile, saying that this had always been his official statement, as it saved him a lot of trouble.

After catching up on their recent lives, they talked about things from the past. Ponpo listened with great interest, never expecting that Mingyou was so mischievous as a child that he would kick Pikachu's butt and get electrocuted.

Suddenly, a lot of Mingyou's dark history came out, even Riolu was impressed. He thought I was bad enough as a street thug, but it turns out you are the real heavyweight!

Ralts was also very surprised that the gentle Naruto had done so many bad things...

"Haha...that's how it was when I was a kid."

Mingyou smiled awkwardly, guessing that these embarrassing stories would be spread once she got back, but she really missed them.

But Aunt Hibari, sitting opposite her, shook her head with a forlorn expression: "If only that child could be like you..."

"Hmm? Qiu Qing?"

Mingyou remembered that the other party's child had this name and was a few years younger than her.

Aunt Yun Que nodded gently, but was unwilling to talk about it further, and then changed the subject, which made Ming You even more curious. It seemed that something must have happened to the other party's child.

He instinctively wanted to use the conversation as a starting point to ask a few questions, but just then, a shout suddenly came from downstairs in the residential area: "Whose Snorlax is this! It's sleeping at the entrance of the complex, blocking the road! I can't even get my Lizard in! What if there's an accident and the fire truck can't get in?!"

"Sorry, I'll come right away with Nosnorlax!"

Mingyou quickly ran to the window to respond, without asking any further questions, which relieved Yun Que...

After dinner, he helped clean up and said goodbye to the aunt. He then took the honest and simple Latias and the others and went upstairs to rest.

The little guys had been playing in the neighborhood, and they even deliberately pushed their Snorlax like a box to block the entrance, hoping to see if their Lizard could jump in.

"This is such a headache... I'll take you guys to the amusement park in Niangguang City in a couple of days."

Mingyou could tell that they were full of curiosity and anticipation for Niangguang City, so they couldn't wait to go out and play, but they should rest well tonight.

Even at night, the entire city of Niangguang remains as bright as day, with lights illuminating the city and a neon-lit nightscape. Crowds throng the streets, enjoying their nightlife, creating a scene reminiscent of a million-volt nightscape.

In contrast, the neighborhood is more peaceful and tranquil, a stark contrast to the bustling city center. Everyone is immersed in their dreams, relieving the fatigue of a day's work and waiting for tomorrow.

Mingyou lay on her bed, not fully asleep, her mind filled with thoughts of the dream demon and the accident at Aunt Yunque's house. She was experiencing insomnia, something she hadn't done in a long time.

The neighborhood was still the same, but the changes were far greater than he had imagined... Now that he had the ability, he naturally wanted to repay those who had helped him.

As she pondered these thoughts, time passed and it was nearly dawn. As drowsiness gradually crept in, Mingyou slowly closed her eyes. Finally, she felt she couldn't hold on any longer and decided to go to sleep.

But just then...

zizi——

"???"

There's a strange sound!

Mingyou suddenly opened his eyes, but instead of immediately turning on the light, he scanned the dimly lit room and quickly found the source of the sound.

zizi——

The Rotom phone placed beside my pillow had its screen lit up, as if it were being subjected to some kind of electromagnetic interference. The screen was flickering and distorted, and I could no longer use the AI ​​system by calling it.

Puzzled, he picked up his Rotom phone and touched the screen. The screen was still flickering, but a new message appeared in his text messages, so he clicked on it to check.

The text message had no sender, but it was not flagged as spam by the system.

Just the content...

"Click the link below at midnight to enter the website and see your other half? Doesn't that sound like an urban legend?"

Mingyou murmured, "This kind of thing is utter nonsense no matter how you look at it. Even elementary school students don't play with it."

But looking at the top left corner of the screen, there were less than 5 minutes left until midnight when this text message came in, practically tempting him to click on it out of curiosity.

So, should we give it a try?

Looking at the mysterious blue link below the text message, Mingyou gradually had this thought in her mind.
