Pokémon: Starting as a Farmer Instead of a Trainer

Chapter 225 Magical Masked Cat's Cup, Want to Buy It? (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

After some time, Mingyou finally succeeded in getting a new Rotom phone, and the phone case even had a chibi version of Qishu's avatar on it, making it a limited edition collaboration.

"It's so pink and cute~ But if Xiao Zhao sees it... I guess I should probably change to a different phone case?"

Mingyou recalled Xiaozhao's angry appearance and felt a chill run down her spine. As expected of someone who had defeated the Great Lord Sinnoh, that sense of oppression was truly formidable.

After leaving the mobile phone store, Mingyou couldn't resist Latias's persistent pleading and finally agreed to rent two Motor Lizards for transportation...

He didn't have much else to buy, except for the ingredients he needed for the next few days. The only place he wanted to go was the largest tree fruit shop in Niangguang City, to conduct research and check the prices of his own fruit.

But Latias preferred speeding on his motorcycle lizard to shopping, and in the end, they were all caught by Officer Jenny for speeding...

The night passed without incident in the detention center.

The next day arrived in the blink of an eye, but Mingyou did not receive any new text messages. Perhaps it was because after failing once, he felt that he would not be fooled again.

It's the weekend, and before he gets any good news from Xiaoqing, he's going to take Ponpo and the others out. They'll go to the amusement park and the anime convention, so that they can be considered a well-rounded family!

Compared to the unfamiliar term "comic convention," everyone was more interested in the amusement park, except for Ralts. So they decided to go to the amusement park in the morning and the comic convention in the afternoon.

Looking at the map, you'll see that the convention venue is quite close to the amusement park, so you can move there directly after lunch.

"Set off!"

Taking the subway, Mingyou led the expectant Ponpo and the others to the largest amusement park in Niangguang City. Weekends are usually crowded, so they waited in line for almost half an hour before finally getting in.

Upon entering the amusement park, there were many vendors selling souvenirs and offering to help people buy tickets in advance. Most of them were just trying to rip off unsuspecting customers, so Mingyou didn't want to fall for it and walked straight past them.

Just then, a shout rang out beside them: "Trains who love Newleaf Meowth, Tire Meowth, and Magic Mask Meowth are in for a treat! Here are brand new cat cups, not only printed with cat patterns, but also perfectly replicated in shape and length. Collect all three now and you'll also receive Newleaf Meowth's perfume and a paw pad ball! Trainers who love cat scents and paw pads will have the ultimate experience, come and get yours..."

"Cat Cup???"

Mingyou turned to the side, full of questions, and looked at the stall not far away, which displayed many items with pictures of Shin-chan in a maid outfit, Magic Mask Cat in a bikini swimsuit, and various pink and green words. What exactly was being sold? The answer was obvious.

This thing is really good at spreading!

There are so many children in the amusement park, how can you put something like this out for sale? Are you sure you have a problem with that?

"Hmm?"

"Don't look! Get out of here!"

Mingyou covered Ponpo's eyes, about to leave with them quickly, but the stall owner spotted him immediately and called out, "This customer, I can tell you're a big cat lover! Would you like to try our products? Even if you don't, you can still buy them to display on your table!"

"Who would want to use something like this! I... no, I don't need it at all, and I'm not that kind of person at all. I'm very self-disciplined, and besides, who would want to display this thing at home?"

Mingyou shouted with a slightly angry expression, but the next second, when he saw the new cat-shaped water bottle that appeared after the other party removed the packaging, his expression stopped abruptly.

"It really is a cat cup... Uh, let's go, we have plenty of these cups at home."

He immediately blushed, so embarrassed that he almost wanted to share a nest with the three ground squirrels. He then quickly led the bewildered Ponpo and the others away.

This made the stall owner feel incredibly unlucky. He had initially thought the other party was honest and was planning to rip them off by selling at five times the price, but it turned out they were just not very bright... Oh well, he'll just wait for the next sucker!

Just as he came to his senses, he heard a series of crackling sounds. A strong gust of wind came from nowhere and smashed all the cat cups he had placed on the table, even overturning the signboard.

As he roared angrily, searching for the culprit, a dark green figure drifted away and disappeared into the bustling crowd.

Once inside the amusement park, Mingyou would no longer take the initiative to show them around. Instead, after introducing all the facilities, she would let them see what they wanted to play.

"Waaah~"

Latias's eyes were fixed on the roller coaster overhead, which was emitting screams of agony; it wanted to ride that one.

"This child can't play here. Come back when you're a bit older."

"Waaah..."

Bad Mingyou!

Finally, Riolu went to experience the roller coaster. Any Pokémon that meets the height and size requirements can ride it, and it's half price.

Latias couldn't revert to his original form, so he could only sit at the bumper cars and secretly use his mental power to crash all the other tourists into the cars, then watch enviously as Riolu rode the roller coaster twice.

Snorlax, unusually energetic since it had no games to play, attracted the attention of many tourists who took photos of its enormous size. It headed straight for the entertainment tunnel, wanting to experience the feeling of flying there.

Smoke and Garchomp were playing at a balloon popping stand when Smoke discovered that the owner was rigging the settings on the toy guns. Smoke then used its slime propulsion to work with Garchomp to pop all the balloons at the stand.

"Mommy~"

"Shark~"

Ponpo, along with Ralts who was too scared to play alone, entered the haunted house. Mingyou waited at the exit, not worried about anything going wrong with Ponpo there...

"Ralu..."

In the dimly lit passage, Ralts nervously held Ponpo, somewhat regretting coming into the haunted house, afraid that she might accidentally get lost.

"Mmm~"

Don't worry~

Ponpo comforted the other person, saying that it would defeat all the bad ghosts, and that this haunted house was not even as big as the haunted house in Beishang Township, and it didn't feel as scary as that one at all.

"Ralu..."

With Ponpo saying this, Ralts felt much more at ease and carefully followed.

Although attacking employees is not allowed in the haunted house, Ponpo has seen so many ghosts that she is not afraid of them at all; she is simply there to play with Ralts.

To be considerate of the other party's feelings, it would deliberately open its mouth slightly several times when the haunted house staff appeared, pretending that it was also frightened, and then immediately run away with Ralts to prevent the ghost from chasing after it.

Even so, Ralts was terrified and lost all ability to react, only able to hold on tightly and refuse to let go.

With no other option, Ponpo started speedrunning through the haunted house to get the other person out as soon as possible to find Mingyou. However, as they got closer to the exit, an ominous atmosphere gradually enveloped the haunted house.

Ponpon has very keen senses and quickly noticed the abnormality. Although it didn't know what had happened, its priority was to protect its companion, so it sped up and ran outside.

But right there, accompanied by a piercing scream...

"Dream!"

A pair of scarlet eyes suddenly appeared before Ponpo. The vertical pupils, enveloped in gold, stared intently at it like a beast eyeing its prey.

"Mmm!"

Ponpo froze instinctively, and in that brief moment of distraction, an orange-red ring of flames lit up between them. Under the illumination of the flames, it finally saw what the other looked like!

That was a dream monster bigger than myself!

"Hmm!?"

Ponpo was startled by what she saw, but the "Dream Demon" instantly opened its mouth, and a ball of orange-red flame was released from its mouth, passing through the ring and forming a more powerful magical flame that hit Ponpo right in the face with outstanding effect!

"Hmm..."

Suddenly attacked, Ponpo used her body to protect the unresponsive Ralts, falling heavily to the ground, but the opponent did not stop attacking.

Long hair slowly rose like an arm, and at the end of its dragon wings, a ball of pink energy condensed, as if it were releasing something. It then hurled the power of the moon at Ponpo, and with a loud bang, it exploded!

At this moment, his scarlet eyes still radiated a violent aura, and the ring of flames ignited once more...
