Pokémon: Starting as a Farmer Instead of a Trainer

Chapter 274 Ponpo, who always loves helping everyone (Seeking monthly votes)

The feeling of Synchronous Ponpo and Synchronous Meltan is completely different. At least the former has normal vision and is only the height of an elementary school student, while the latter is a body that normal humans cannot adapt to at all.

However, Mingyou overlooked one thing: Pokémon think differently from humans. What Ponpo thought were trivial matters were actually quite embarrassing for him.

"Stop staring at her chest...go play with Meloetta and the others."

Mingyou resolutely denied being a "shrimp-headed man" (a derogatory term for a man who is overly attached to something), claiming he was forced to watch it. After all, once the emotions were synchronized, it wasn't something he could simply choose not to watch.

In this state, their gazes are synchronized; when Ponpo blinks, he blinks too, so it has nothing to do with him.

Fortunately, Ponpo quickly looked away and looked ahead. At this moment, Xiao Zhao smiled and said, "Let's go to my room for a late-night snack. We haven't finished the ingredients we bought earlier. I'll bring some to Mingyou later."

"Mmm~"

Ponpo nodded expectantly, but recalling what Mingyou had told it, it decided it was better not to disturb her, as she just wanted to rest.

After hearing this, Xiao Zhao said with some regret, "Well... alright then. I had some ingredients that I was planning to use to make cookies for him, but it looks like they'll have to go to waste. After all, none of you would eat the desserts I make."

"No!"

Mingyou's emotions surged instantly, but she had to hide them to avoid being noticed by Pengpeng.

Fortunately, Ponpo also likes desserts. She smiled and waved, indicating that she would just hand over the ingredients to her.

"Okay, then I'll leave it to you~"

Xiao Zhao gently patted Ponpo's head and then led everyone into their dormitory. Mingyou could only watch with envy as everyone ate their late-night snack from a first-person perspective. Fortunately, she could experience it herself after syncing.

I guess I felt a bit involved...

After the late-night snack, Ponpo and Riolu helped tidy up the room. Although Xiaozhao said she didn't need help, she couldn't stop the two enthusiastic little ones.

After finishing all that, seeing that everyone was tired and ready to leave, Xiao Zhao looked at Pengpeng, seemingly having something on her mind, and asked with a smile, "How about staying here tonight? I've heard Mingyou say for a long time that it's very comfortable to sleep in your arms. If you don't mind..."

She had wanted to get closer to Ponpo for a long time; after all, who wouldn't like such a cute and sensible child? However, since Ponpo was always with Mingyou, she was too embarrassed to ask him for help.

Upon hearing this, Mingyou, who was in sync with Ponpo's emotions, was stunned. "Hugging her to sleep?"

and many more……

That means!

This...this...isn't this progressing too fast!

Mingyou immediately became extremely nervous. Although some silly thoughts kept popping into his mind, he had always been a pure-hearted man who had never had any romantic experience. How could he withstand this!

"Hmm..."

Ponpo hesitated for a moment at Xiaozhao's request. Although it also wanted to be held and slept by her, because Xiaozhao always smelled nice and it liked that scent.

After a final moment, it gently shook its head.

"Hmm..."

Let's wait until tomorrow night. Ponpo wants to go back tonight to take care of Mingyou and get some rest.

"Okay, then take good care of him."

Xiao Zhao understood what the other person was thinking, and with a look of satisfaction, he reached out and patted Pengpeng's head. He could only say that this child was really too sensible...

After a moment, Mingyou left Xiaozhao's place. While she breathed a sigh of relief, she felt a strange sense of regret. Why did it have to be delayed until tomorrow night?

Wait, what are you thinking about now!

He thought this was not a good idea!

Mingyou's mind conjured up the image of Ziyu crossing her eyes, and she gradually recalled that her purpose in secretly syncing with Pengpeng was not to take advantage of Xiaozhao, but to gain a deeper understanding of Pengpeng!

"That's right! This is the main storyline!"

"Hmm?"

Ponpo, who had just returned to her residence, suddenly froze in place, feeling as if she could hear Mingyou's voice.

Just as it was wondering about this, Zhenyi suddenly flew over, seemingly deliberately avoiding Meloetta and the others, as if he wanted to discuss something...

The two little ones came outside, and Ponpo asked with some concern what was wrong.

"Mengmeng..."

Zhenyi's expression was somewhat dejected. It knew it had no talent for singing, and scaring away so many students in the music classroom today had finally made it realize the reality.

Knowing that Mingyou didn't want to discourage it, it hadn't said anything explicitly, and it hadn't bothered to pay attention to the snipe's insults... So now, it really didn't know what to do.

It didn't want to give up, but it lacked the talent.

That's why I came to find Ponpo alone, because Ponpo is the most sensible and is liked by everyone wherever it goes, so maybe I can give it some advice.

"Hmm..."

Ponpon fell into deep thought. It didn't think Zhenyi's singing was bad, although it was indeed a bit noisy. But if it gave up on its dream because of such a small thing, wouldn't that dream become a stumbling block?

"Mmm!"

Ponpo's expression turned serious, and she began to encourage Zhenyifa, saying that if he felt he was causing trouble for others, he should make some changes.

"Mengmeng..."

How can I change it?

Zhenyi really wanted to know.

"Hmm..."

Ponpo covered her face with her hands, lost in thought, but the answer came to her mind in an instant. Just like Mingyou can play music on the harmonica, you can also borrow an instrument, or change your original singing style!

Hearing this, Zhenyifa seemed to be instantly awakened. That's right! Why insist on singing with the same voice? You can change it. Since it doesn't suit the dark style, just switch to something more natural.

"Mengmeng~"

Upon receiving the answer, Zhenyifa immediately cheered up. After thanking Pengpeng, he went to find Meloetta again, intending to take her to the Eco-Dome so as not to disturb Mingyou's rest.

"Mmm~"

Keep it up!

Ponpo waved to Zhenyi, and Mingyou saw all of this. He remained silent and continued to watch Tengteng Snake quietly emerge.

"Candy..."

The vine snake cautiously observed its surroundings, and only after finding no sign of the flapping wings did it approach Ponpon.

"Hmm?"

"Candy!"

The vine snake looked up at Ponpo. These days, they had gotten along very well, like teacher and friend, or even best sisters.

Since they are both Grass-type, Mingyou would ask Ponpo to help train it, but due to Snivy's personality, it would never take the initiative to ask for help. Only Ponpo is an exception, and it is worth asking for its advice.

It has been working very hard these days in order to participate in the Youth Cup with Mingyou, but the lack of practical experience still makes it a little worried.

Mingyou has been busy all day and is now too tired to move, so it went to Ponpon and asked if Ponpon could accompany it in a one-on-one battle.

"Mmm~"

No problem, let's go tomorrow morning.

Ponpo agreed without hesitation, saying that it could still assist with the training even if Mingyou wasn't around.

After returning to the house with Snivy, Riolu suddenly trotted over, wanting to learn how to make desserts from Ponpo, as the cookies Ponpo made for their midnight snack were really delicious.

Riolu is currently learning from Meiyu and usually acts like a male mother, taking care of the Pokémon that hatched from their eggs. When Meiyu cooks, Riolu will also help out, but its learning ability is still not as good as Ponpo's.

"Mmm~"

Ponpo smiled and nodded. "Let's have Sister Xiaozhao take us out to buy the materials tomorrow afternoon, and then I'll teach you when we get back..."

After getting rid of Snivy and Riolu, Garchomp also came over. Although it didn't want to learn anything, it wanted to find some strong trainers at Blueberry Academy and challenge their Pokémon, so it hoped that Ponpo could help tell Xiaozhao.

"Mmm~"

No problem at all~

"..."

Watching Ponpo take on side quests everywhere, Mingyou fell completely silent. Due to their synchronized emotions, he could sense that Ponpo didn't complain at all; on the contrary, she was very happy to be able to help her companions solve problems. This kindness seemed to have been learned from someone...

After finishing her business for the evening, Ponpo returned to her room and looked at Mingyou, who was resting on the bed. She stood by the bed and stared at her for a long time.

After confirming that the other person was asleep, it did not leave, but brought over a small stool, sat down, and then lay down by the bed, keeping Mingyou company as she rested.

"Mmm~"

"Okay, goodnight~"

Mingyou quietly responded, and then, together with Pengpeng, slowly closed her eyes...

Time flew by and the next day arrived. Ponpo began its daily routine: whenever Mingyou wasn't around, it would look for things to do and help anyone who needed its help solve their problems.

Mingyou remained completely silent throughout, experiencing Ponpo's life from her own perspective – a truly unique experience.

This not only helped him understand Ponpo better, but also made him aware of the problems other Pokémon faced, like Winged Wing... not everyone was willing to talk to him, and no one wanted to bother him, so he could only go to Ponpo, whom he trusted the most.

Throughout the day, Mingyou gained many insights and saw some minor issues between herself and her Pokémon. Although these issues wouldn't affect their relationship, they still needed to be addressed.

However, as night fell, it was almost time for him to disconnect from the synchronization. He had been lying in bed all day without eating, which worried everyone. Xiao Zhao even planned to come and take care of him tonight.

Thankfully, Ponpo said she would wake up around midnight, which eased everyone's worries a little...

Everyone is currently at Mingyou's residence, having just finished dinner. After tomorrow, there will be several days of exams. Xiaozhao doesn't have to be a proctor, so it's like she's on an early holiday.

"Lesson preparation for tomorrow is done!"

Xiao Zhao put down her phone, smiled, opened her arms, leaned back on the sofa, stretched, and showed off her slender figure.

After calming down for a while, she came to her senses, glanced at Mingyou's room, and planned to make a late-night snack for Mingyou after he woke up. She had gone shopping in Lianyi Town again this afternoon and bought some ingredients.

Since she wasn't sure when the other person would wake up, she had no choice but to stay there. Anyway, it wouldn't matter if she slept on the sofa for the night.

"But I should take a shower first. I went out in the sun this afternoon and sweated a lot... That's the downside of hot weather, you have to shower every day."

She sat up and shook her head helplessly.

Not far away, Mingyou, who was mopping the floor with Ponpo, heard her complain and muttered, "I think so too..."

"Hmm?"

Ponpo was slightly taken aback. Why did it sound like she heard Naruto's voice again? She subconsciously glanced towards the room, but it must be her imagination...
