Pokémon: Starting as a Farmer Instead of a Trainer

Chapter 243 Beishang Township is already shaped like a turnip (Seeking monthly votes)

"The Flute of Infinity?"

Mingyou was slightly taken aback, remembering that this flute had the effect that once it was played, countless Pokémon could hear the sound and be summoned no matter where they were.

So it was stolen by someone else?

So the reason Latios hasn't been looking for his sister for so long is because he's also searching for the Infinity Flute? That would explain it.

"The Rockets must have stolen it, right?"

No matter how Mingyou thought about it, there was only one answer: these people must have been staking out Latias for a long time, and it would have been easy for them to steal the Flute of Infinity along the way.

However, those people were taken away by the dodo birds a long time ago. If the stolen goods were stolen, they should have been taken away by the Interpol police as well.

"So you'll have to go ask them for it."

"No, the Flute of Infinity was stolen long before my sister was taken away by you, you little accessory!"

Latios's tone remained cold. If the Flute of Infinity hadn't been stolen, it wouldn't have been unaware that its sister had been kidnapped. At first, it thought it was a diversionary tactic, but now it seemed that it wasn't that simple.

Although it has no evidence, since it can hear the flute as long as it is played, the fact that there has been no movement for so long means that the Flute of Infinity has been gathering dust. However, it has a vague feeling that the person holding the flute now is not pure in heart because of some connection with the flute.

If it really was taken by the Interpol police, how could there possibly be such a person? It's highly unlikely, so it's more probable that some other bad guy stole it and planned to use the flute at a specific time.

Of course... Latios didn't know what other uses the Infinity Flute had besides summoning infinite Pokémon, but it had to be taken back!

After listening, Mingyou nodded slightly: "In that case, let's start by looking into Team Rocket. Those bad guys are still trying to steal my business, although they haven't made any moves yet."

Do you know where they are?

"I don't know. If I did, I'd just call in the Interpol and mow them all down."

Mingyou spread his hands and shook his head helplessly. He couldn't help with this matter. Besides, wasn't he quite hostile just now?

"Waaah!"

Yes!

Latias pouted. It wasn't interested in the whereabouts of the Flute of Infinity, but it had to stay here today. Now that it had proven that its mental power had surpassed its older brother's, it would keep its promise.

"No way, I'm taking my sister home!"

Returning to the previous topic, Latios changed the subject, revealing that it hadn't agreed to the battle; it was a certain accessory that had taken it upon itself to do so.

"Waaah!"

Seeing this, Latias immediately became dissatisfied and simply transformed into the form of a human cub, hugging Mingyou's leg and refusing to leave even if it meant death. This brother who doesn't keep his promises is the most annoying!

"I...I hate it!?"

Latios's pupils contracted, and he stood there stunned, as if he had been hit in a vital spot by an elemental disadvantage and suffered 108,000 points of damage.

Being disliked by my sister... that's impossible! My sister should love me the most!

impossible……

No way!

Seeing Latios start rolling around on the ground, Mingyou's lips twitched. He reached out and patted Latios's head, thinking to himself, "That's too cruel..."

Then they turned and left, gradually disappearing into the distance, ignoring the guy who had breached the Great Defense, leaving Latios rolling around on the spot throwing a tantrum...

The rest of the journey from Cerulean City back to Kitakami Township went smoothly without any further incidents or any pursuers.

Leaving the bus and carrying her suitcase, Mingyou stepped onto the land of Beishang Township once again. Feeling the fragrance of the fields mixed with the spring breeze, Mingyou finally smiled. Indeed, this is the most comfortable place!

"Everyone, come out!"

He threw out all the Poké Balls, feeling the familiar environment. Kirlia and the others, who hadn't been home for a while, were very happy. Winged Fly hovered leisurely in the air, and finally hugged May.

"Mengmeng~"

It absolutely loves the environment here!

Zhenyi can't wait to go to that manor, then tour the new house, and finally live with Mingyou. How wonderful!

Iron Warrior and Iron Thorn also jumped out of the Rotom cell phone. They looked around at the fields, their screen-like eyes filled with surprise. This was the first time they had ever seen such a view.

In the future where they exist, humanity has long since ascended to mechanical flight and begun exploring the universe. The entire Earth has been fully mechanized, like a colossal Noah's Ark, roaming the cosmos.

Such natural rural scenery can only be seen in virtual reality, but what is fake will always be fake and can never truly replace such a world.

"It sounds like science fiction, but unfortunately I don't like that kind of cold world. The present is better. Since I'm in this era, let's cherish the present and create a brand new future."

Mingyou said with a smile, and then led them towards Emerald Town. Some packages needed to be picked up at the post station, and he also wanted to check on how the tourism industry in Emerald Town was doing while he was away.

He walked through the north-facing street and headed north. Now, the hyenas on the edge of town stopped barking when they saw him and instead stuck out their tongues and wagged their tails to beg for some fruit.

A moment later, they arrived in town.

Looking at the scene before her, Mingyou subconsciously stopped in her tracks, feeling somewhat incredulous. It wasn't that there was a surge in tourists, but rather that the town's residents seemed to be busy with something, building something in the center of the square, sweating profusely, and everyone's face was full of anticipation.

"Huh? What's going on... This wasn't even here when I left!"

Mingyou couldn't understand what they were doing, since she was only responsible for economic planning and tourism development, and she wouldn't act as a landowner to restrict what these people did.

He had only been gone for a few days, and it seemed that construction was not only taking place in the square, but also in the surrounding residential areas where building materials were piled up, and some Iron Bone Earthlings and Haoli were there with construction teams building houses.

"Hmm?"

Is this for building a new house?

Ponpo was a little curious and decided to go and take a look.

After a moment of contemplation, Mingyou also decided to go and take a look, feeling that the atmosphere in Emerald Town was a bit strange.

Just as he stepped forward, he bumped into the guy who drove the Flying Taxi. It was an old acquaintance, and the guy immediately waved and greeted him warmly upon seeing him return: "Isn't this the boss? Haven't seen you in ages! Going off to make your fortune again?"

"I just went back to my hometown, but what's going on here? Construction everywhere."

"I don't know. The administrator didn't say in detail either. But it was arranged by him and some other people. It seems to be for the development of Emerald Town. I don't understand either."

"Um?"

Mingyou was slightly taken aback. She had only been away from home for a few days, and the administrator was already causing trouble again?

He pondered for a long time and decided to go to the community center to check the situation first, since this was his responsibility. He didn't want things to be done without any prior notice, as it might disrupt all his plans for the future.

As he walked straight ahead to the center of the square, he finally saw what these people were building. He saw a statue that was not yet fully sculpted, with its hands behind its back, standing there.

At this moment, the sculptor is working hard to carve the statue's huge head little by little. It seems that it is very difficult to get to this point. The sculptor hesitated for a long time and did not know how to make a move.

"This statue...it looks kind of familiar?"

Mingyou craned his feet to look, but the statue was not yet fully completed, and he could not immediately recognize who it was. Just then, a familiar voice slowly came from the crowd watching the statue carving process.

"You're back?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Crowned Queen, whom we hadn't seen for a while, floated out of the crowd without a single leaf touching her, with her hands behind her back.

At this moment, in Mingyou's eyes, the figure of the Crowned King and the figure of the unfinished statue gradually overlapped and even matched perfectly!

It's me! It's me!

"???"

"It's good that you're back."

The Crowned Queen spoke slowly.

It's just a pity... Beishang Township is now shaped like a turnip.
