Pokémon: Starting as a Farmer Instead of a Trainer

Chapter 239 Milletton surfs the internet (Seeking monthly votes)

Back in her apartment building, Mingyou finally escaped Zhenyi's clutches and planned to inform Aunt Yunque about the outcome of the missing persons case, but unfortunately, she wasn't home; she was probably out on business again.

There was nothing he could do but wait until the other party returned in the evening. So he went back to the community park. His house was too small, and it would feel crowded if all the Iron Warriors stayed inside. It was better to come out.

"I'll contact Wang Moving Company tomorrow and ask them to send a mover over to prepare for the move, so we don't waste a few days and run out of time."

Mingyou plans to return to Beishang Township this weekend. As for what to do with the house after moving, his initial plan was to sell it, but now he doesn't need the money, and after thinking about it again, he feels a little reluctant to part with it.

After careful consideration, he decided to give the house to Aunt Yun Que and her family as a way of repaying them for the care they had given him over the years.

He then looked into the distance, where Kirullian was standing beside the Iron Warrior with a worried expression. The other party was clearly not injured, so why hadn't he woken up yet? Moreover, he didn't seem to have any vital signs; he was just a pile of scrap metal.

Is it going to die?

"Nair..."

"It's just malfunctioning and resting. Paradox Pokémon are quite different from yours."

Mingyou stepped forward to explain and comfort her.

Future Paradox Pokémon do not have physical stamina; they all rely on energy converted from electricity to move. In that future environment, humans have become digital life forms, and Pokémon will naturally change to adapt to the environment.

"Hmm..."

Will the future really turn out that way?

Hearing the explanation, Ponpo felt a little worried, thinking that such a future was terrifying and cruel... both for humans and for Pokémon.

Noticing its mood, Mingyou smiled calmly and reached out to pat its head: "Not necessarily. Countless possibilities exist, both in the past and the future. No one knows what will happen. Only the present moment we live in is unique!"

"Mmm~"

"Alright, I'll just soak up the sun here. The real world suits me better than the online world."

Mingyou sat on Snorlax's belly, enjoying the warmth of the sunlight on her body.

He then looked at the Iron Thorn sitting on the ground not far away, seemingly without power, and asked curiously, "By the way... how do you guys freely enter and exit the real world from the online world? After all, you're not virtual Pokémon like Porygon."

hum-

Upon hearing the sound, Ironthorn's eyes lit up, and it instantly turned on its device. However, it wasn't entirely clear about this, as it was just a wild Pokémon living in the future that had been suddenly brought here.

"Really? Then you're really too..."

Just as Mingyou opened her mouth, Zhenyi suddenly hugged her again. "You could ask me this kind of question! You can ask me anything! I can answer everything!"

"You know?"

"Mengmeng~"

Zhenyi nodded, then suddenly produced a small bottle containing some kind of shimmering purple energy from somewhere and began to explain.

This was given to it by Iron Warrior. It seems to be called Future Drive Energy, which is made from some kind of natural energy collected from ancient times and is specially designed for these future Pokémon to use.

It contains a large amount of compressed, even qualitatively altered, electrical energy that can help future Pokémon quickly recover their energy and condition to continue fighting.

"This is practically a weapon of war..."

Looking at the driving force energy, Mingyou couldn't even imagine what future humans would use this thing for. You say for scientific research? Well, let's just say you're doing scientific research.

"But does this have anything to do with being able to freely access the online world?"

"Mengmeng~"

Of course it's related!

Zhenyi continued to explain that the core of a mobile phone is "electricity." Without electricity, your phone cannot be used. Whether it's a mobile phone or the online world, everything is built on the foundation of electricity.

In the future, the internet will be a very common thing. To put it simply, the difference between the internet in this era and the internet in the future is like the difference between a plastic toy car and a high-speed train.

As long as there is a power cord connecting to the server, Pokémon can directly enter the server's network in the future. The text message link sent at midnight is the bridge between the Pokémon and the server. As long as you click on it, you will be successfully connected.

The vibrating wing, carrying driving energy, can consume driving energy to travel between the network and reality in a short time and take people away.

It's particularly good at capturing people, and the reason it helped the Iron Warrior was to take Mingyou away so that the other party could turn her into a digital life form and grant her immortality, so that she wouldn't die easily...

"I see."

Mingyou finally figured these things out. You, Porygon, are a product of human technology, but those future Pokémon have just as much technology. The so-called "the older, the stronger" is not about technology.

Although these are all settings that could only appear in science fiction movies, it seems that Milton could jump out of the online world at any time, and might even surf the Internet through the network cable...

We must remind them of this!

Thinking of this, he took out his phone and planned to send a message to Xiaoqing to remind her to be careful.

But as soon as I took out my phone, a splash screen effect suddenly appeared on the screen. As a wave rolled up, it looked like a cartoonish purple figure was slowly floating by in a serious manner, riding on the waves.

Experience +3

"???"

Mingyou rubbed his eyes, thinking he was seeing things. When he looked again, everything on the screen was normal. He tried opening the screen several times, but Milton's figure did not reappear. Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.

"You scared me! You can't just come through the internet cable like that. Cyberbullying is illegal."

After confirming that he had just misread it, he told Xiaoqing that Milton could come out at any time, and asked her to be careful, since it would be very dangerous for such a Pokémon to run into the real world.

After giving the announcement, he continued to sit on Snorlax's belly and chatted with Ponpo and the others, asking where they wanted to go in the next few days and mentally planning their itinerary for the last few days...

After a long while, with a "humming" sound, the eyes of the Iron Warrior, which had been shut down for most of the day, suddenly lit up like LED dot matrix patterns, and the gray parts on its body that had dimmed also lit up with purple light.

Iron Warrior! Rising to the occasion in glory!

"Nair~"

Kirullian was overjoyed to see it wake up.

"Naido..."

The Iron Warrior, waking up from the system crash, surveyed his surroundings. Although he didn't know what had happened, he could roughly deduce the situation.

Then it looked at Kirlia, nodded slightly, and then stood up and looked at Meiyu, who had jumped off Snorlax's belly.

"It looks like you've recovered. Kirlia was really worried about you."

"Naido..."

Iron Warrior stared at Mingyou walking towards him. He remembered that when he was defending against Milton's attack, the other party seemed to have said something... That's right, concern!

Because there are others who care about you, you absolutely cannot die like this!

It glanced at Kirlia, then placed its hand on its chest. It could feel something warm slowly forming inside the previously hollow, glowing structure.

Is this what the heart is...?

As it looked on incredulously, Mingyou stopped and stood in front of it, smiling as she asked, "So what are your plans now? Your business of catching people in the online world is no longer of much concern to you."

"..."

The Iron Warrior fell silent. It had come to this era from many years in the future. Now, it no longer acted according to orders, and it felt as if it had suddenly lost its way and was in a state of confusion.

"Don't know where to go... Well then, how about staying at our manor? The environment there is very nice, something you definitely won't see again in the future."

"Nair~"

Kirlia also highly recommends it; it was originally quite shy, but now it's surprisingly proactive.

"..."

After pondering for a long time, the Iron Warrior nodded slightly. "Since that's the case, let's go and take a look. It really wants to see this thing that existed in the distant past of its time."

Besides Iron Warrior, Iron Thorn, who also had nowhere to go, also planned to go along. It wanted to see what Tyranitar looked like in this era, even though there were no Tyranitar living in Kitakami Township at the moment.

"You're welcome to come anytime! I always welcome you!"

Mingyou smiled in response, while looking at the three newly acquired cards in her hand...

[Winged Hair (lv10): When used on a Lychee Tree, the tree's species changes to Lychee Tree, and the Lychees it produces gain the effect of increasing the Pokémon's Special Attack and Speed.]

[Ironthorn (lv3): When used on a seabuckthorn tree, it changes to an iron seabuckthorn tree, and the iron seabuckthorn berries it produces have the effect of boosting the Pokémon's power.]

[Iron Warrior (lv1): When used on a pomegranate tree, the tree's type changes to Iron Warrior Pomegranate. The Iron Warrior Pomegranates that grow gain increased proficiency in Fairy and Fighting types and temporarily increase damage against Dragon and Dark types.]

All of these are special crops that don't come with TMs (Technical Assist Devices) and can directly boost a Pokémon's strength.

"Today has been... full of good news, but now it's time to go home."
