Pokémon: Starting as a Farmer Instead of a Trainer

Chapter 291 Let's embark on our journey on a cool purple motorcycle (Seeking monthly votes)

After a welcome dinner for Xiaozhi and Cynthia, Mingyou had to explain things to Xiaozhao because of the unexpected incident that happened in the afternoon.

So he deliberately avoided other people and went to the second-floor balcony to tell the other party everything.

"Is that all?"

"That's it!"

"How come you're busier than I was when I saved the world? Are you the main character here?"

Xiao Zhao placed her hand on Mingyou's shoulder, took a slight breath, and looked up at him: "So what's next? How about I go chat with Milton in the online world? I've never even seen this Pokémon before. Meloetta told me it can race cars?"

"You just want to experience high-speed driving, don't you?"

"Haha, you saw right through me~"

Xiao Zhao smiled mischievously. Actually, experiencing high-speed driving was one thing, but she also really wanted to see Milton. As a Pokémon trainer who loves Pokémon, she was naturally full of anticipation for such an unseen Pokémon.

However, putting those matters aside, she trusted Mingyou to handle them, so she didn't mention them again. Instead, she brought up another matter: "Miss Zhulan asked me to tell you that you and Meloetta will be going to see her later."

"I see."

"She was going to come to you after we finished talking, but who would have thought you'd get into her phone? There were too many people at dinner, so she couldn't talk to you."

Xiao Zhao explained briefly, then paused for a moment before asking softly, "You're leaving tomorrow morning, right? Have you packed your luggage?"

"Yes, everything's taken care of."

"Be careful on the road."

"Just say what's on your mind..."

Mingyou could tell that she seemed to have something she wanted to tell him, but was finding it difficult to say it.

Now that she'd been called out, Xiao Zhao blushed slightly, put her hands behind her back, and decided to be direct. She shifted her gaze and stammered, "Do you...want to spend the night in my room?"

"Oh...ah?"

Mingyou belatedly realized what was happening and widened her eyes.

Xiao Zhao waved her hands hurriedly with a flustered expression: "Don't misunderstand! I didn't mean to do anything with you... I just wanted to talk to you more tonight, since I won't be able to see you for the next two weeks."

"Why can't we see each other? We can video chat on Rotom's mobile app!"

"You... idiot! Slowpoke!"

Xiao Zhao bit her lip lightly, couldn't help but pinch his cheek hard, then turned and left without looking back, truly angered by him.

I've gone out of my way to see you, and you're wasting your time! You were just chatting with me, do you think I'm going to eat you alive?!

Mingyou rubbed his face and smiled helplessly. It wasn't that he didn't want to chat, but he was too tired from racing today and really wanted to rest as soon as possible.

Let's talk about chatting later!

After standing there for a while, he called Meloetta to go with him to find Zhulan, and he roughly guessed what she wanted to say to him.

Arriving at the backyard of the villa, we passed through the battlefield and walked to a small European-style pavilion on the other side, where Zhu Lan was sitting alone.

The sea breeze gently caressed her golden hair. She wore a coat, sipped delicious black tea, and was engrossed in the book in her hands.

Mingyou stepped forward, greeted her with a smile, and said, "This place is really nice. It's quite elegant to sit here, drink tea, and read books."

I prefer it this way.

Zhu Lan placed the bookmark on the book, closed it, chuckled, and looked up at Meloetta. Then she shifted her gaze to Mingyou: "I never expected that you would kidnap Meloetta."

"After all, we can't just sit idly by."

"You're still the same. How are those bears you took from the peat island doing now?"

"Living comfortably on the estate has been a great help to me. I have to thank them."

"Then I'm relieved."

After a brief chat, Zhu Lan got to the point, asking, "Those people came looking for you yesterday, right? Why didn't you let them take Meloetta away?"

"Melo?"

Meloetta was somewhat puzzled, as she was unaware of this matter. Mingyou sat opposite Zhulan, and after a moment of silence, softly replied, "To be honest, I hate those people. They keep saying that outsiders look down on me, yet they can't even protect Meloetta themselves. In the end, they still have to rely on me, don't they? I'm already being accommodating by not lifting a finger."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Lan took a sip of her black tea. The housekeeper had already told her about these things, but she hadn't expected that Ming You's concerns were even more unique.

"Outsiders...the less capable someone is, the more they like to call themselves outsiders."

Zhu Lan put down her teacup and continued, "You don't need to worry about these people. I spoke with Xia Ka alone, and he also hates them. He wanted to bring Meloetta to Twin Dragons City to take care of her a long time ago, but those people disagreed."

"Shaka?"

"Yes, I know you have some conflicts with his grandson Du Ruo, but he is completely trustworthy. If you have the ability to protect Meloetta, he won't object. He might even hope that you can take Meloetta away."

Zhu Lan gave a brief explanation, and also mentioned Alice, who is currently living in the villa. She is Xia Ka's student and was bullied by Du Ruo since childhood.

But putting those aside for now, she glanced around, seemingly wary of something, then looked away and said, "What I'm about to say is the important part!"

"Um?"

Mingyou sat up straight, and the atmosphere gradually became serious.

With her arms crossed and a serious expression, Zhu Lan said, "There's a group in the Unova region called Team Plasma that you need to be careful about!"

"Plasma Team..."

"Hmm, these people are of unknown origin, and they are secretly carrying out some kind of religious activity to liberate Pokémon in the Unova region, under the name of the long-extinct Unova Kingdom. It seems that quite a few descendants of the Unova Kingdom have joined them, including..."

Zhu Lan didn't say it directly, but Mingyou already knew that among the guardians of the underwater ruins protecting Meloetta, there were members of Team Plasma.

Since Zhulan said that, then Xiaka must also know it, but it's inconvenient for him to deal with it, so he hopes that he can protect Meloetta.

Mingyou paused for a moment, then asked, "Is there any other information?"

Zhu Lan gently shook her head: "This organization is quite secretive, and the police don't have many clues. In short, you need to be careful."

"Um!"

"There's one more thing!"

As she spoke, Zhu Lan took out her Rotom phone and sent a photo. Ming You received it and clicked on it. He saw that the photo was of someone he knew quite well, probably taken by surveillance cameras.

At this point, Zhu Lan continued, "He's the man who called himself N who suddenly barged in and interrupted our fight in the backyard. I was quite concerned about him, so I went to investigate him."

"And the result?"

"It turns out you don't know until you investigate... He's the leader of Team Plasma, and he's currently wanted by the police in the Unova region."

"..."

Mingyou looked down at the photo of "N" on her phone, hesitant to speak. She remembered the last time she saw him was when she bought a harmonica in Lianyi Town. How come he's wanted now?

You're down on your luck, bro!

After a moment of silence, he remembered his promise to N, looked up at Zhu Lan, and said, "I don't think he's such a bad person, is he?"

"It's hard to say, after all, I don't know him. You can't judge a book by its cover, just like how Xiao Zhao was deceived by my ancestor's disguise."

"That's true..."

Mingyou nodded slightly, without saying anything more. If she could run into N next time, she would have a good talk with him.

There was nothing else to say after that. After a brief chat, Mingyou left with Meloetta, intending to go back and rest early.

"Melo..."

After listening to their conversation, Meloetta felt increasingly that she was causing trouble for everyone. In fact, it was better for her to leave.

"What are you thinking about!"

Mingyou held it in her arms, gently stroking its head, and said with a smile, "We're here. Besides, what if Milton tries to attack me again? You said you'd sing to it."

"Melo..."

Meloeta pursed her lips and nodded vigorously. She didn't want to cause trouble for everyone, so she decided to help them first before causing any trouble.

"Okay, get some rest early tonight."

"Melo~"

Nothing happened that night, and no one else knew about Milton. The next morning, after breakfast, Mingyou packed her bags and was ready to set off. Ponpo and the others were very much looking forward to the trip.

Knowing he was leaving, everyone went out to see him off and made a promise to meet again at the Youth Cup.

Xiao Zhao helped Mingyou straighten the wrinkles in her clothes, patted her shoulder gently, and said with a smile, "I've said what I needed to say, so you won't find me annoying if I remind you again. Don't worry about what happened last night. Remember to contact me when you have time."

"I thought you were angry."

"Do you think I can't tell you're playing dumb?"

Xiao Zhao replied irritably, but since it was all in the past, she stood on tiptoe, hugged Mingyou tightly, and whispered in her ear, "Take good care of Meloetta and the others. If you get into trouble, remember to contact me immediately. I'll be there no matter where you are!"

"I will!"

After saying goodbye to everyone, the villa's butler drove Mingyou to the Pokémon Center in town, leaving him alone with Ponpo and the others.

My first trip...

Naruto stood at the entrance of the Pokémon Center, glanced north, and then headed north on his own to Kagome Town, the venue for the Junior Cup. It would normally take him at least a week to walk there.

However, before that, he needed to tell the King of the Brilliant Crown to send He Yue over.

Just as this thought crossed his mind, his Rotom phone suddenly rang. He took it out of his pocket and saw a dazzling light flash!

Then, a cool purple motorcycle was seen quietly parked by the roadside, as if saying it wanted to join the trip.

"Melo!?"

Meloeta was incredibly surprised. This time it wasn't in the phone, but in the real world. So, does that mean she could ride the Milton at high speed later?

awesome!

As it excitedly explained to its companions the exhilarating feeling of riding the Milerton at high speed, capturing everyone's interest, Mingyou's expression gradually fell silent.

Here's a cool, futuristic motorcycle that can take you on a journey through United States and to every corner of the world.

So, would you rather spend at least five days hiking to Kagome Town, or hop on a motorcycle and take everyone for a thrilling ride?

"Speed! Speed ​​up like crazy!"
