Pokémon: Starting as a Farmer Instead of a Trainer

Chapter 244 Making music? Or forming a band with 18 Pokémon? (Seeking monthly votes)

Hearing what the Lady Crown King said, Mingyou clenched her fists, her face darkening. It really was that guy!

He had only been away from home for ten days, and they had already set up the statue. If he were away for a month, he didn't even dare to think about what the other party would do next!

Seeing Mingyou's expression, the Queen of the Raiguan shook her head slightly, seemingly a little disappointed: "How can you make such an expression? Smile, Simailu Simailu~ I've taken such good care of this place for you, you should thank me."

"Thank you so much, you big turnip!"

Mingyou grabbed the Rachel's head, lifted it up with one hand, and shouted, "What the hell are you doing?!"

"As you can see, the future of Beishang Township depends on me for economic development. Look at how hopeful they are of me; their eyes are shining..."

Before it could finish speaking, Mingyou grabbed its head with both hands and shouted, "All I know is that lasers are about to shoot out of my eyes!"

"Naito!?"

The Iron Warrior standing nearby was taken aback, his eyes flashing with laser light? Could it be... that he's actually a cyborg?!

"..."

Seizing the opportunity when Mingyou hesitated to speak, the Crowned Beetle easily broke free and floated away slowly. Just then, a blue cotton bird flapped its wings like flowing clouds and landed steadily on its head, like a cotton hat.

And that's not all. Calycerin stretched out its hand, and another noisy bird, without missing a beat, retracted its wing and landed on its hand. At the same time, a Jigglypuff and a Round Wizard also ran out from the crowd.

"Huh? Where did this Pokémon come from?"

Mingyou was somewhat puzzled and curious, and then, the Rachelon slowly spoke, finally revealing its purpose: "Of course, it's for me to train them to create soundtracks for the games in my studio!"

"ha?"

Upon hearing this, Mingyou quickly checked the information of these Pokémon, then froze on the spot...

[Jigglypuff: The balloon Pokémon that loves soothing and pleasant singing, but people often fall asleep while listening to it sing, causing it to suffer a lot of damage. If you can be a loyal listener, you will easily gain its favor.]

[Wasuker: The Wasuker Pokémon loves singing high notes, but it can't hit them and always cracks, scaring away the audience. If you can help it train, it will be easy to win its favor.]

[Chatterbox: The musical note Pokémon that loves hip-hop style singing. Although its singing is terrible, it has been trying hard to learn human singing. If you support its singing, it's easy to gain its favor.]

[Elf: Cricket Pokémon, skilled at improvisation, especially in poetry and playing hollow, echoing melodies, but its own composition skills are terrible. If you could teach it to compose, you would easily gain its favor.]

"What are you trying to do? Are you trying to form a band with these bunch of talented but inexperienced individuals? Even Master Yuan is singing! Let it evolve a bit more before coming here!"

Mingyou kept complaining about Calyrex in his mind, but he didn't say these words out loud. He was still able to control his emotions. At the same time, he was surprised that Calyrex had found a Pokémon that liked music and had some kind of flaw that it could train in such a short time.

The turnip is still quite capable...

Zhenyi, who had been clinging to Mingyou, immediately became excited upon hearing the band playing and declared that it wanted to join in.

"Um?"

The Crowned King looked up at it, examined it for a moment, nodded slightly, and asked, "What musical talents do you have that you could tell me about?"

"Mengmeng~"

Of course, it's an absolutely stunning vocal performance that strikes right at the soul!

"A soul's roar from hell? Alright, alright, although I don't know what kind of Pokémon you are, you'll all join my academy, and I'll train you all!"

King Rai-King nodded in satisfaction, but the next second Mingyou grabbed his hand, pulled his face close, and asked in a deep voice, "Put music aside for now, don't try to change the subject. What exactly is this statue of yours and that house under construction in Emerald Town? Explain yourself."

"Of course it's the unfinished game studio. I didn't spend a single penny; those guys happily helped me with everything."

The Crowned Queen spoke up to explain.

Previously, it was inconvenient in the Galar region, and even if you tried to fool people, you couldn't fool many. But it's different in Kitakami Township. Just the task of leading Mingyou's class gives you a lot of room to maneuver.

However, feudalistic elements still exist in Beishang Township. Even though they have improved a lot, they still remain. Otherwise, such a serious incident would not have happened at the beginning of the year. After learning about Tao Dailang's situation, it made a decision to let these humans believe in it.

Of course, the result was predictable. It claimed to be Mingyou's boss and the mastermind behind Mingyou's actions, helping the other side... It easily fooled the administrators.

After all, it was once the legendary king who ruled the Galar region, and it was easy for it to make people believe in it.

"I see, but..."

Mingyou nodded gently, gradually understanding everything. Then, she stroked her chin, a calm smile appearing on her face: "I didn't even know you became my boss, so isn't the boss going to explain?"

"Um, well..."

The Queen of the Lace was somewhat flustered. After all, this matter couldn't be kept secret. Mingyou could easily find out by asking around. It was better to end it quickly than to suffer a long pain and be beaten again later, so she simply confessed everything this time.

Just then, the residents who were watching the statue also noticed that Mingyou had returned and that the Lady Crown King was there. Some of the residents who had always disliked Mingyou finally seized the opportunity to show off.

I never imagined that you, Mingyou, with your thick eyebrows and big eyes, would be nothing more than a pawn manipulated by others. Now our Beishang Township is being treated the same way. I'm sure it won't be long before you, along with all your fruits, vegetables, and dreams, will be drowning in this mess!

Mingyou: "..."

I'm so annoyed, I want to hit someone...

Zhenyi realized this and immediately took action, determined not to let anyone bully Mingyou.

Just then, the previously flustered Queen Crane immediately straightened her posture, a dignified glint in her blue eyes, and slowly said, "You should all go back to the manor first, and don't cause any disturbance here."

"Okay, then!"

With a smile, Mingyou left a message and then turned around to take Ponpon and the others home.

Those residents who were still laughing at him finally breathed a sigh of relief when they saw him leave in such a sorry state. How dare a mere outsider ride on our heads!

"..."

Watching Mingyou leave, King Raiguan was already drenched in sweat. Normally, telling the truth wouldn't have gotten him a beating, but now he was afraid even his turnips would be plucked when he got back…

A moment later, upon returning to the manor from Green Town, the Pokémon living there came out to greet them. Winged Wing, who had been quite unhappy, looked shocked upon seeing the vast estate.

"Mengmeng~"

We'll be living here from now on? That's awesome!

"Of course! Let me introduce myself to everyone first. They should all be at home now."

"Nair~"

Kirlia ran the fastest and almost fell over. It couldn't wait to see its sister and tell her that it had evolved.

Soon, everyone dispersed. Ponpo was still by Mingyou's side, while Tiewu and Tiejingji were somewhat at a loss, unsure of what to do next.

"You should get to know them too. There are many Pokémon in the manor, and they are all very easy to get along with. You can also eat the fruit here directly."

"Naido..."

Oh well.

The two of them acted separately, interacting with the Pokémon while also analyzing and recording their observations to understand the ecological environment of this era.

After they all left, Mingyou smiled, putting aside his unpleasant thoughts. He had obtained quite a few special cards this time, especially the one given to him by Guleton. He was very curious about the effect of Gulaiju and wanted to know what the power from ancient times referred to.

But no sooner had he stepped inside than Calycerin hurriedly returned with Jigglypuff and the others. His face had completely lost the majesty he displayed in front of others, and instead he lowered his posture, looking like a clown with a bang.

Seeing it return, Mingyou stopped and temporarily put aside her card research, turning around with a smile: "Boss, you're back so soon? Weren't you supervising at the studio? What if something unexpected happened... I, as your employee, am very worried. What if we lose money and don't get paid?"

"No, no, no, there were too many people over there..."

Without hesitation, Lei Guan Wang knelt down and slid at lightning speed. The old guys from Beishang Township were just helping him set up his studio. Mingyou was the boss of his studio and the biggest investor. How could he possibly offend him?

Its sudden action startled the chubby dogs nearby. Only then did they finally realize that Mingyou was the boss.

It doesn't matter who the boss is, as long as I can learn music well, nothing else matters...

"Alright, alright."

Seeing its sincere admission of wrongdoing, Mingyou no longer cared about anything. It was fine not to spend his own money to build a studio. As for those old men from the north who disliked him, whether he said it or not, those guys would hate him anyway. In any case, he didn't have many years left to live.

Then, scratching his head with a slight headache, he looked at the Lady Crown and said, "But you've made quite a big fuss about this. Haven't you considered that you don't have enough staff right now? And the game is just a folder; there's no progress at all."

"These are no big deal..."

The Crowned King shook its head. Now that it had gained the faith of the people in Beishang Township and had the Emerald Stone Slab in its hand, it was worth a hundred of them.

But making games isn't just about modeling and programming... scripts, music, gameplay, and game mechanics are all essential!

It's currently working on the music issue; these Pokémon were all found online, and it went out specifically these past few days to bring them back.

But only four... Even with the addition of the five Zhenyifa, it's still too few. It needs various styles of background music to match the game's storyline!

Hearing about its plan, Mingyou's lips twitched. He crossed his arms and asked helplessly, "What, you want to collect one Pokémon of all 18 different types, and actually create a band to provide background music?"

How did you know?

"Good heavens..."
