Pokémon: Starting as a Farmer Instead of a Trainer

Chapter 264 The Succubus of Padia Continues to Exert Her Power (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Back in the dorm, though reluctant to leave, I wanted to avoid causing Xiao Zhao any inconvenience in her daily life, such as changing clothes, taking a shower, or going to the toilet. I was also worried that practicing the harmonica would disturb her rest.

Mingyou then took Zhenyi and the others to the accommodations arranged for them by Blueberry Academy. The place was quite spacious, so there was no need to worry about disturbing others, and it wasn't far from the dormitory area either; it only took a few minutes to visit someone's room.

However, before he could even start practicing, the fact that he could play the harmonica was spread by Ponpo. Although Tengteng Snake couldn't understand it, how could Zhenyi Fa, the band leader, not understand it?

"Mengmeng!!!"

I want to hear it! I want to hear the harmonica!

It grabbed Mingyou and almost knocked him to the ground, which aroused the strong dissatisfaction of the Snivy. It felt that this guy only had the advantage of size. In the future, it would grow to be bigger than it!

After Zhenyi pleaded for a long time, Mingyou had no choice but to play for them as practice. Although he didn't know what kind of music Meloetta liked, judging from what he observed in the afternoon, he already knew what to play.

So he simply stayed there, following the melody from his memory, gradually finding his rhythm, and began to play. Riolu and the others, as his audience, sat around him, their expressions gradually turning to surprise...

A moment later, the playing ended, and Zhenyi wrapped its wings even tighter around Mingyou. It wanted to learn this so it could go back and tell everyone that it wasn't musically talented at all.

"So you know you're completely useless..."

Mingyou silently complained to herself, then ignored it and looked at Riolu and the others, asking, "How was it? Although it's my first time playing this, I feel like I'm still a little unskilled."

"Candy~"

Not bad, right?

The Snivy raised its head and nodded slightly, even it had to admit that it was indeed quite good.

And the Garchomp and the others thought so too.

Seeing that it was indeed attractive, Mingyou decided to play it tomorrow, thinking that there was probably no more suitable piece than this!

Supported by owl nuts, he played the flute for almost a whole night, and before he knew it, it was the next day...

Today and tomorrow are both weekend holidays, and the students from the Alliance Club may take action at any time. Mingyou cannot keep track of their movements all the time, so she can only contact Xiaozhao and Shali early in the morning to start the operation.

Mingyou acted first, and the three met at the grassland rest stop. Shali's outfit was basically the same as yesterday, while Xiaozhao changed into more casual clothes that were easier to move in, but she was still covered up.

"Why are you in such a hurry? Du Ruo and the others are probably still sleeping right now."

Xiao Zhao handed over the breakfast she had brought, and Mingyou took it, sharing it with Pengpeng and the others. After taking a bite of her sandwich, she said, "Du Ruo isn't stupid. He's very shrewd. Maybe he's using me to help him find Meloetta."

His first impression of Du Ruo wasn't particularly good, and having met many different types of people, he could tell that Du Ruo was indeed not simple; otherwise, he wouldn't have so readily sent him the photos.

Hearing this, Sha Li gently shook her head: "Is the competition among young people this fierce these days?"

"That's how this school is. Only by doing whatever it takes to get ahead of others can you be a winner. Otherwise, they wouldn't have created a ranking list to rank students."

Having worked here for so long, Xiao Zhao is used to this phenomenon. The competition is fierce. Although it is indeed free, the pressure from a group of people around you is very heavy psychologically. It is completely incomparable to the teaching style of Orange Academy.

Then she looked at Mingyou, who was still eating dry rice, and noticed the fatigue on his face. She knew that he probably hadn't rested well last night and was only able to keep going with fruit.

But she can't say anything now; she'll talk about it after everything's over...

After breakfast, the group rushed to the outdoor classroom in the coastal area, where the lake was the only confirmed location within the Eco Dome where Meloetta had appeared multiple times. Now, all that was left was to wait.

All we need to do is wait for the sound of the wind and the particles of light!

Mingyou didn't really want to rest. He was worried that Du Ruo and the others would come out and cause trouble, because he wasn't confident that he could make Meloetta believe him immediately. Usually, when they called him a succubus, it was just a joke, and it was impossible for such a thing to actually happen.

The three of them waited quietly. Xiao Zhao didn't disturb Mingyou's state of mind, but instead started talking to Shali, asking her about some myths and legends.

Time passed slowly, and before they knew it, it was afternoon. As the sun blazed down, they were all drenched in sweat, relying entirely on willpower to keep going. Fortunately, this was one of their strengths.

But perseverance pays off...

"They're here!"

Mingyou's voice suddenly brought the two back to their senses. He had relied on his powerful mental strength to sense the flow of the wind, which was consistent with yesterday, thus deducing that Meloetta might have arrived.

So the group immediately followed the route from yesterday from the outdoor classroom to the vicinity of the lake.

Sure enough, upon arriving here, accompanied by a sudden gust of wind, a green melody gently swayed, and Meloetta's elegant figure gradually emerged around the solitary planted among the flowers, moving in dance along with her own song melody.

"That's true!"

Xiao Zhao was very surprised, never expecting Mingyou to be able to do something like that. Sha Li, holding her camera, quickly asked, "Do you have any ideas to make it happy? Let's get started!"

"I know……"

Mingyou looked a little nervous, holding her harmonica in her hand. Although she was somewhat confident, she was still very worried that Meloetta would not let her guard down.

Just as he was caught in a moment of hesitation, a hand suddenly landed on his shoulder. Turning around, he saw Xiao Zhao smiling at him: "Don't overthink it, just go. We're here for you!"

"……Um!"

With Xiao Zhao's encouragement, Mingyou finally overcame her nervousness, her eyes immediately became serious, she picked up the harmonica with both hands, put it to her lips, and began to play.

Accompanied by the rhythm and melody of the harmonica, it was as if a dark brown scroll was unfolding before her. Meloeta, who was dancing, suddenly froze upon hearing the sound and subconsciously looked in the direction from which the music came.

Mingyou stopped hiding herself, closed her eyes, immersed herself in the music, stood up, took light steps, and walked towards Meloetta, bringing the rhythm of the music to a climax.

"Melo..."

Meloeta was not frightened by the sudden appearance of Mingyou. At this moment, it was completely immersed in the sound of the harmonica. Although the level of playing was indeed a bit bad for it, it could instantly tell whether it was playing with true emotion.

There are no techniques involved, it's all about emotion...

But it just loves this kind of music, and this melody, like a deep brown memory, is one it knows all too well... But why does the other party also know it? Know this ancient song.

Meloetta looked at Mingyou and recognized him as the human who had helped Snivy yesterday. But what it wanted to know was why he knew this ancient song, since the song had been lost to history for thousands of years.

Although it was eager to know the answer, it couldn't feel any dislike for this human who was so wholeheartedly devoted to the music. On the contrary, it really liked the human's attitude towards music and wanted to teach the human the true ancient songs!

"Melo~"

Meloeta raised her hands, gently pushed up the black headpiece with the tear-shaped microphone, and perfectly took over the next note from Mingyou, beginning her performance.

Seeing this, Shali and Xiaozhao were very surprised. They could feel Meloeta's joy at this moment, but it was so simple.

Mingyou didn't notice this, but continued playing in accordance with Meloetta's correct rhythm. Meloetta also walked with joyful steps, following the notes floating in the air, and came to him, playing this ancient song together.

Under the influence of the ancient song, Meloetta's body began to be surrounded by a halo. Her originally green head turned orange and curled upwards. The gems in her eyes and on her forehead also turned orange. Her skirt spread out, and she danced gracefully like a ballerina.

From now on, Naruyu, who has fully mastered the ancient song, will be in charge of playing it, while Meloetta will be in charge of dancing to the ancient song. Unconsciously, the two will form a perfect coordination.

Until the performance came to a perfect end...
