Pokémon: Starting as a Farmer Instead of a Trainer

Chapter 290 Milerton is your name, sailing towards a new future (Seeking monthly votes)

Having just experienced a high-speed chase where "the body is running while the soul is chasing," Mingyou knelt on the ground, looking extremely uncomfortable. He felt nauseous but couldn't vomit, and even had the illusion that his soul hadn't caught up with him yet.

"Even if I were blasted into the sky by a meteor shower or struck dead by lightning today... I would never ride the Millerton again! Never!"

He clenched his fists and struggled to his feet. Better a short, sharp pain than a long, drawn-out one. Rather than being tortured like this, he'd rather just kill him quickly.

However, Meloeta thoroughly enjoyed it. After experiencing her first high-speed ride, the delicate "girl" completely let go, and there was no longer any fear of the purple motorcycle in her beautiful green eyes.

"Melo~"

"Miller~"

Seeing Meloeta smile and no longer afraid of him, Milton was very happy.

Standing up, Mingyou looked at the two Pokémon interacting not far away. He beckoned Meloetta to come to his side, then looked at Milerton.

Now that things had come to this, he had no way to escape from the other party, but he recalled what had happened during his previous encounters with Millerton.

The first time was in the online world, when Milton's appearance made Milton believe that his territory had been invaded, and the two sides went to war. At that time, Milton showed the coldness and cruelty that should be expected of a paradoxical species in the future.

The second time, however, Milton infiltrated Rotom's phone via the network and followed him all the way to the manor, where he stayed at the arcade and appeared daily as an "Easter egg," enlivening the atmosphere of the entire manor.

And this is the third time...

Millerton's personality showed obvious changes over the several occasions, and apart from the first time, his behavior was unpredictable and he was completely unable to understand what he was doing.

So Mingyou wanted to take this opportunity to find out the reason why the other party was targeting her. It couldn't really be for revenge, could it? If you had that ability, you would have been dead eight hundred times over if you had attacked him while he was sleeping.

"Melo?"

Meloeta didn't quite understand why Mingyou looked so serious. Wasn't this "purple motorcycle" a good thing? It even took everyone to play together. Logically speaking, shouldn't it be a friend?

Its thinking is still rather simple, and it is unaware of what happened several months ago...

Upon hearing Mingyou's question, Milton reverted to restricted mode and slowly stepped forward.

Unlike other small Paradox Pokémon, Milerton is quite large, and even in its restricted form, it is still very intimidating under its cold gaze.

"Miller!"

After appeasing Meloetta, Milerton was about to get down to business. Its only target had always been Mingyou, but this time, because the other party had been gone for so long, it had deliberately intercepted the teleportation and followed her.

Having confirmed its target, Mingyou frowned slightly: "If it's because of what happened in Niangguang City last time, we were just trying to save people..."

"Miller!"

Milton barked, interrupting Mingyou's words, and leaned forward with its head. Its purpose was simple: it just wanted to know one thing.

"Do you know...one thing?"

Mingyou looked confused, not quite understanding.

"Miller!"

Millerton responded...

Since arriving in this era by accident, it has seen too many things that it had never seen in the distant future, especially something called "emotion".

But last time in the cyber world of Niangguang City, it saw that the Iron Warrior, which was only driven by the instinct to execute programs and elevate outstanding humans into digital life, actually possessed its own emotions, no longer clinging to its own instincts, and even fighting against the invincible Iron Warrior to cover everyone's evacuation.

It wasn't just Iron Warrior... there were also those Pokémon that knew they were no match for it, yet still fought it to cover the retreat of the others!

Milton didn't understand them, but after observing them, it saw Mingyou and finally realized that the whole reason was this human.

That's why it sneaked in specifically to observe, but after seeing more Pokémon like this in the manor, it became even more eager to know how to obtain something it never had!

and so……

"Miller!"

Tell me quickly!

Millerton raised its metal claws and placed them on Mingyou's shoulder, its aura suddenly becoming overwhelming, almost killing Mingyou on the spot.

"Melo!"

Seeing this, Meloeta angrily rebuked the other person, telling them not to hit their friend.

"It's okay, it's okay..."

Mingyou felt the weight on his shoulders and the terrifying aura coming from in front of him. He waved his hand. Now that he knew what Millerton wanted from him, everything was easier to talk about.

He coughed twice, forced a smile, and said, "But it might be a bit too late for you to come to me about this now. You've already developed your own feelings, so I can't help you with that."

"Miller?"

Millerton was slightly taken aback. Mingyou glanced at Meloetta and continued, "When you act not out of orders, but out of your own thoughts, it means you have developed your own emotions."

What he was referring to was Milton's car chase to cheer Meloetta up, and his pranks on Kirlia and the others as an "Easter egg" at the manor, or rather... Milton had already gained emotions when he started thinking about this issue.

So he can't help, that's the truth.

Millerton stood there, releasing his grip. His usually aloof, cat-like expression was now filled with confusion. He had developed feelings? Really?

"Of course it's true!"

Mingyou responded earnestly.

Meloeta, who was standing nearby, also stepped forward and gently patted Milerton on the head.

"Melo!"

You can't hit your friends anymore. If you're in a bad mood, I can sing you a song!

Meloeta spoke up, saying that she quite liked the other person, enjoyed being taken on a high-speed ride, and really wanted to experience it again, and how exciting it would be to sing at such a high speed.

However, it suddenly realized something: it didn't know the other party's name, and it had never seen this Pokémon before.

"Melo~"

Meloeta asked the other person's name out of curiosity.

Milton paused for a moment, then responded.

"Miller!"

MR-1008

It has no name of its own. In its original era, it only had a "number". Whether it was humans who became digital life or those mechanized Pokémon, they were all left with only a number to refer to them.

The name is no longer relevant; MR-1008 is its unique serial number!

"Melo?"

Meloeta tilted her head. What a strange name. It sounds more like a number.

Mingyou stroked his chin, pondered for a moment, and was surprised that the other party did not have a name. Speaking of which, it seemed that Iron Warrior and Iron Thorn did not have names either. It was just that he called them that, and the two Pokémon naturally got used to it.

What kind of future is this...?

He didn't want to call a Pokémon a product, so he coughed lightly, smiled, and said, "Since that's the case, you're from the future, and you're a riding Pokémon, then let's combine the two and call you Milton!"

"Melo~"

This name sounds nice!

Meloieta twirled lightly in mid-air, clapping softly. Upon hearing the word "future," it even gained new creative inspiration.

"Miller?"

Millerton stood frozen in place, his eyes, flashing with shock, fixed on the OLED dot matrix.

This is...my name?

Like other Pokémon, they have their own names instead of those numbers?

"That's right, that's your name!"

Mingyou responded earnestly, then continued, "Gaining emotions means you're no longer a cold, cruel object, but a Pokémon truly living in this era!"

"Miller..."

Millerton looked down at the Mingyou in front of it, and it was stunned for a while. Since the moment it was born, that number had accompanied it for countless years, and it had always believed that it was that number.

but now……

Has the future been changed?

It may take some time for it to process this information, as even as the most advanced technology in the distant future, it has never experienced anything like this.

Seeing it freeze as if a "bug" had appeared because it had a name, Mingyou was about to say something when suddenly a data storm swept in, carrying him and Meloetta into the sky...

Meanwhile, in Mingyou's room at the villa, all the luggage had been packed and arranged, and Xiaozhao was looking for someone with the phone Rotom had found earlier.

"That's strange. He's not usually the forgetful person. How could he lose such an important personal item as his phone and then disappear... Hmm?"

She heard a strange noise, seemingly coming from her Rotom phone, so she picked it up and looked at it curiously. Suddenly, a dazzling light flashed, accompanied by two screams.

"ah!!!"

"Melo!!!"

"Huh!?"

Xiao Zhao held her phone, staring in astonishment at the two figures that jumped out of it...

boom--

Mingyou, holding Meloetta, fell straight down. Millerton threw them out without saying a word, catching them completely off guard.

"Ouch...are you alright?"

"Melo..."

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

Mingyou breathed a sigh of relief, freeing one hand to support himself on the ground as he tried to get up. However, he was puzzled as to why he didn't feel any pain after falling.

There's even a bit...

"Where are your hands? Get up!"

"Feel sorry!"

Mingyou quickly got up and stood aside.

Xiao Zhao, her face flushed, clutched her chest, almost slapping him, but she held her temper, tossed the Rotom phone over, and said resentfully, "Explain yourself later!"

With that, she turned and left the room, leaving only the unlucky Mingyou and the clueless Meloetta standing there.

"Sigh...it's really not my fault."

He sighed softly, but just then, he suddenly noticed that a very familiar blue card was spinning in front of him.

[Millardon (lv1): When used on a grapevine, the species changes to Milerboir. When the Milerboir grapes produced are eaten, the Pokémon will receive a power boost from the future.]

Reaching out to take the card, Mingyou smiled calmly, put it away, and said to Meloetta, "If we have time, let's talk to it more!"

"Melo~"
