Pokémon: Starting as a Farmer Instead of a Trainer

Chapter 257 A Beauty with Abnormal Stats, Meloetta Appears (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Ziyu was quite disappointed that she couldn't see Ponpong's peaches. She just turned around to let her see the peaches, it wasn't a particularly troublesome thing, it wasn't like she was looking at her own peaches... Well, of course it's not impossible, after all, you are indeed quite cute.

"No means no!"

Mingyou firmly refused and hugged Pengpeng tightly, keeping her distance from Ziyu. Blueberry Academy is really too outrageous. It's one thing for a bunch of guys to fight over their contact information, but they even want Pengpeng's contact information!

I have a feeling that Xiaozhao needs to change jobs. Is it really okay for her to stay here like this?

"Hmm..."

So what exactly is a peach...?

Ponpo still didn't quite understand. At this moment, Xiao Zhao took off her glasses, sensed the awkward atmosphere, stepped forward, and changed the subject, saying to Zi Yu, "Isn't there an event from the Alliance Club at noon today? If we don't go now, will we have enough time later?"

"That's true."

Ziyu snapped out of her daze, looked at Mingyou, and asked with a smile, "So, Teacher Mingyou, would you like to come to the Alliance Club and play together? There are snacks there."

"Shall we go now?"

"The student council members are all in the Alliance Club, so it's better to get to know them before the open class. They might be able to help out. Also, Wu Li said you defeated him very easily, so I'm sure many people in the Alliance Club are curious about your strength~"

Ziyu smiled and said that firstly, she hadn't really given up on watching Ponpo's peaches. Secondly, as a student from a school that focused on combat education, she was naturally very interested in Mingyou after learning that he had easily defeated the school's outstanding students.

Including her, she really wanted to see for herself whether Mingyou's strength was really better than Wuli's. Finally, she said again that she really hadn't given up on watching Ponpo's peach.

"The cunning Peach Girl..."

Mingyou continued to complain in her mind. The other person seemed to be a year younger than her, but she looked so cute. Yet she had such a strange XP system. No wonder it was the "free" Unova region.

Hearing what Ziyu had just said, Xiaozhao nodded slightly, smiled at Mingyou, and said, "That's certainly possible. I'll go with you then."

She currently works part-time as an advisor for the Alliance Club. Although she doesn't have much to do, it doesn't affect her good relationship with the students in the Alliance Club, which helps Mingyou manage her interpersonal relationships.

"no problem!"

Mingyou had originally planned to go to the Alliance Club. He heard last night that they were investigating Meloetta's club activities, and he wanted to see what was going on. Moreover, when Tengis and Vulture almost got into a fight just now, the singing that suddenly appeared was clearly Meloetta's!

This means that Meloetta must have been nearby, or even very close, but probably didn't want to be seen by humans, which is why she didn't show herself.

Since it was agreed, the three of them, led by Ziyu, headed to the Alliance Club on the upper campus...

Through conversation, Mingyou learned that Ziyu's father was Kiku, the gym leader of Fanba City in the Unova region, and also the world's largest mine owner. His family's origins could even be traced back to the Shizuku region, where their ancestors used to mine.

She herself is now one of the four kings of Blueberry Academy, ranking second in order and third in the whole school, which is enough to demonstrate her strength and talent!

"That's incredible... So who's the champion of Blueberry Academy now?"

Mingyou asked curiously, but Xiaozhao covered her mouth and smiled without responding. Ziyu, however, didn't keep her in suspense and said directly, "Of course it's Wuli. After coming back to school this year, he was like a completely different person. Not only did he take the initiative to start over from last place, but he also defeated Duruo and won the championship in just a few months."

"Huh!?"

"Haha, after Ah Li adjusted his mindset, he improved really fast. Now he can hardly find any rivals in Blueberry Academy, so he often guides others and helps the students of the Alliance Club improve, which has earned him a lot of popularity and affection from the students."

Xiao Zhao responded with a smile, saying that they had witnessed Wu Li's growth and changes all along, and as friends, they were naturally happy about it.

Meanwhile, Ziyu, who had been secretly observing Ponpo Momoko, put her hands behind her back, bent slightly, and said softly, "Wuli-kun often mentions his friend Mingyou to us, saying that thanks to him, he was able to wake up before making an even more serious mistake. So... can we have a match later?"

She changed the subject, looked at Mingyou, and finally brought up her desire to fight him.

The opportunity was rare, and she noticed that Naruto had a lot of cute Pokémon, so she really wanted to see a battle between the two cute Pokémon, and also take the opportunity to see Peach.

She hasn't given up yet...

Faced with a sudden challenge, Xiao Zhao wasn't flustered; this was quite common at Blueberry Academy. However, Ming You hadn't yet adapted to this pace and paused slightly, looking at Zi Yu: "A battle? Now?"

"That's right, we should go to the coastal area. The coastal plaza there is my battleground, and the elevator there also goes directly to the area where the Alliance is located, so we can just go there on the way!"

"Hmm... okay then."

Although she wasn't prepared, Naruyu didn't mind. She just treated it as a way to pass the time, and the battles would also help her improve her relationship.

Seeing that the two had decided to fight, Xiao Zhao looked at Ming You and reminded him, "You need to be prepared. Blueberry Academy mainly uses doubles matches, and the rules are different from singles matches."

Mingyou shook her head gently and replied with a smile, "It's okay, singles and doubles are the same to me, it just takes a little more effort."

"I feel underestimated~"

Ziyu said softly that her hard work was just a natural thing for a trainer, and she also had a strong sense of self-respect. Otherwise, she would not have been able to become one of the Blueberry Elite Four. Therefore, she had to get back on her feet and not let outsiders look down on her.

A moment later, they arrived at the coastal area, which is mainly composed of beaches, forests, mountains and lakes, mimicking the tropical environment, so you can see many Pokémon unique to Alola.

As they arrived at the coastal plaza, above Mingyou, a figure still concealed itself, its gaze fixed on the vine snake that was eating dried fruit, while also keeping an eye on Mingyou's backpack.

They seemed hesitant to get too close to the past...

Although the Coastal Plaza is also made up of many blocks, it has a cute, girly pink style. Under the dazzling aura of Taijing energy, it is crystal clear and looks out of place in contrast to the environment.

At this moment, Zi Yu stopped, tossed her short hair aside, and turned to Ming You to introduce, "This is where I'm stationed. The Blueberry Four Heavenly Kings each occupy one of the four areas of the Ecological Giant Egg, like a fighting ring, waiting for other students to come and challenge them."

"There must be a lot of challengers every day, right?"

"Actually, it's not much, because you need to pay BP as an entry fee to challenge the Four Heavenly Kings, then you have to participate in the Four Heavenly Kings' assessment, and only then can you challenge them."

"What a rip-off..."

Mingyou's lips twitched. Although she knew that this was the school's way of encouraging students to be independent and compete with each other, it was still quite difficult for the challenger.

Fortunately, he doesn't have to pay BP.

As Ziyu arrived, many students there came forward to greet her.

Before Xiao Zhao came to Blueberry Academy, Zi Yu was the most popular girl in the school, a popular idol with many suitors.

After all, who wouldn't like a cute girl like XP Peach—beautiful, sweet-voiced, cheerful, gentle, and responsible? Otherwise, she wouldn't have received so many chocolates on Valentine's Day. As for Danyu? Who's that?

(Danyu: "???")

Upon hearing that Ziyu was going to spar with someone, students quickly cleared the venue and prepared it.

Mingyou and Ziyu went to their respective positions, while Xiaozhao stood by the field, cheering for the former. The battle was about to begin!

But just then, Ziyu suddenly raised her hand and asked, "Um... Teacher Mingyou, could you please use Dire Phantom? And with a cute Pokémon too? I'll use a cute Pokémon to battle you, and I want to see who understands cuteness better!"

"what?"

"Hello!"

Xiao Zhao, who wanted to remind Zi Yu, remained silent after noticing the expectant expression on Zi Yu's face.

Hearing this request, which he had never heard before, Mingyou scratched his head. He had originally wanted Garchomp and Rio to go up and fight, and he didn't care about winning or losing. But since you said so, he would naturally grant your request!

"Mmm~"

Okay then~

Ponpo pulled out the well mask and put it on. The color of her cloak instantly turned blue, and her winged hair immediately shot out. She couldn't let the other guys beat her to it.

After confirming his appearance, Zhenyi deliberately glanced at the Snivy sitting on Garchomp's head, covered his mouth and chuckled, as if to say, "You don't have the ability, do you?"

"Candy!"

So what if you can fight!

Watching Egui Peng put on the mask and change color, and then make his appearance with that strangely shaped large flapping-winged creature, Zi Yu felt excited but also a little more wary and inexplicably pressured.

Although it's not visible to the naked eye, these two Pokémon have a kind of strange, numerical beauty about them...

"But it's really cute!"

Zi Yu gently tugged at her light pink long coat and took out two Poké Balls.

"Go, my lovely Pokémon!"

With a flash of red light, a Blue King and a Wind Sprite appeared on the scene simultaneously. Upon seeing the Wind Sprite, Mingyou frowned slightly, her expression grave: "It's disgusting cotton! How filthy!"

"..."

Xiao Zhao glanced at Pengpeng and Zhenyi in front of him. "What right do you have to talk about others like that?" It felt like Mingyou had changed quite a bit since they last met.

The battle between the two sides was about to break out. Whimsicott used the Mischievous Heart property to immediately activate Tailwind. After intimidating the enemy, Blue King rode the wind and rushed forward quickly. Fire King used the wind to unleash a Flame Punch.

But the next second...

"Mmm!"

Ponpo pulled out the Thorn Vine Staff and swung it at Blue Emperor, sending him flying with overwhelming power. Zhenyi then unleashed his dragon wings, creating an orange-red flame halo in front of him, followed by a burst of magical flame that engulfed the Wind Fairy.

After just one round, both the Blue Emperor and the Wind Fairy were already on their last legs. The battle ended almost in the blink of an eye, and Zi Yu didn't even have time to react.

What kind of intensity is this?!

Are there really Pokémon that strong?

"You chose this yourself..."

Mingyou put his hands on his hips. He wasn't going to hold back. Since it was a battle, he would naturally go all out!

Xiao Zhao gently shook her head. She knew this would be the result as soon as she saw Ponpo enter the arena. Legend has it that Pokémon are not only majestic and powerful, but also cute ones.

Seeing what was happening on the battlefield, Zi Yu's mindset was slightly affected. She then raised her hands, made an X in front of her chest, and said with a slightly resentful expression, "I don't think this kind of cheating is good!"

"..."

The battle ended too quickly. It wasn't that Ziyu didn't accept the fact that she had lost, but she just couldn't accept the feeling of powerlessness of being crushed by a numerical monster.

It's so upsetting. Not only did I not see Peach, but I was also bullied by such a cute Pokémon. This is really... not so bad, is it?

"Um?"

Seeing Ziyu still smiling even after losing, Mingyou felt a chill run down her spine, hoping that she wasn't secretly plotting something against Pengpeng again.

The battle ended in the blink of an eye. The students who had been watching the excitement around the battlefield were all surprised by the strength of this stranger, Mingyou... Could this guy be a champion from somewhere?

But soon a student told everyone what had happened in the grassland area, and everyone present gasped in shock. It turned out to be the teacher who had been invited by the principal to give a public lesson, and he was also Teacher Xiao Zhao's boyfriend.

That's alright then, we couldn't beat them anyway...

Some students who initially held onto a sliver of hope, thinking that a rich kid like him couldn't possibly be that capable, have now completely given up, since they simply don't have the ability!

Hearing the wailing all around, Xiao Zhao smiled calmly. She hadn't expected that Mingyou's visit would solve so many of her problems. She hoped that she wouldn't have to go through what happened on Valentine's Day this year.

After easily defeating his opponent, Zhenyifa didn't forget to keep looking at Snivy, showing off his strength. It's estimated that their relationship will be difficult to resolve in the short term.

Ponpo ran back to Mingyou's side. After each victory in a battle, it liked to run around Mingyou and get a pat on the head and praise.

"Well done!"

"Mmm~"

As Mingyou affectionately patted Pengpeng's head, this scene was noticed by a figure invisible to the naked eye in mid-air. As if it had also become interested, it floated down gently without making a sound...

"Um?"

Mingyou subconsciously snapped back to reality, looked up, and realized that he had felt something gently brush against his hair just moments before.

As his attention was diverted, Ponpo suddenly felt something touch him again, and it felt somewhat familiar... It seemed like it had happened before in the elevator.

So, relying on its senses, it subconsciously reached out to grab at the air. Noticing this action, the figure in mid-air subconsciously retreated to avoid it, but crashed into something the next second.

"Melo?"

"Um?"

Two questions arose at the same time. Mingyou looked down at the petite figure in his arms, who had accidentally bumped into him and lost her invisibility.

Her light green hair has stripes like musical measures, and her slender arms connect with her oval hands, forming the shape of a quarter note.

It has bright, pupil-less eyes shaped like a whole musical note, a turquoise gem on its forehead, and a black headdress resembling a treble clef.

A belt matching its hair color encircled its black waist, making it appear as if it were wearing a black high-slit skirt, exposing its fair legs to the air. And at that moment, their eyes met...

Meloetta (Singing Form): The Melody Pokémon, gentle in nature, dislikes arguing, loves freedom, and is very curious. Because it was once hunted by humans, it is wary of them. To gain its favor, it must first gain your trust.

"what?"
