Pokémon: Starting as a Farmer Instead of a Trainer

Chapter 292 Car Crash Scene, Pokémon Out of Control Incident (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Milton was parked quietly by the roadside. Its size and cool metallic appearance quickly attracted the attention of some trainers passing by the Pokémon Center.

Once she came to her senses, Mingyou didn't bother to contact the Lady Crown King anymore. She took Milerton and left immediately to avoid causing any trouble if she stayed any longer.

He wasn't worried about Milton being captured, but rather that these people would anger Milton and drag the entire Ripple Town down with them. The seal on the underwater ruins hadn't even been broken yet, and now the apocalypse had arrived first...

Leaving through the passage north of Ripples Town, a long sandy road comes into view, stretching to the boundless sea, where the melodious calls of long-winged gulls soaring across the water can be heard everywhere.

"This is about it... It's so far, I can't see the end of it, I can only barely see some mountains and greenery."

Mingyou gazed into the distance; it was indeed a long way to go. Then he turned his gaze back to Milton, who was sitting on Meloetta's head.

"Why did you suddenly jump out without saying a word? That's dangerous, I mean, for innocent bystanders."

"Miller!"

After spending the whole night thinking it through, Milerton had figured it out. Since it had come to an era where digital life did not exist and it had been given a name, it should live in the outside world like a normal Pokémon!

In this era, almost everything is unfamiliar to it, and only a portion of the information is stored in its brain's database. Therefore, it wants to start from scratch to adapt to life in this era.

After understanding, Mingyou stroked his chin and nodded gently: "I see. You want to experience the life of a normal Pokémon from the very first time? I understand. Then stay with us. You don't need to deliberately imitate their lives, but try to integrate into their lives, and you will naturally learn."

"Miller?"

"Don't quite understand... Hmm, okay then, just pretend you're a large purple lizard and try to learn about the habits of lizards."

As she spoke, Mingyou took out her phone, Rotom, opened the Pokédex app, found the detailed Pokédex information for Motostrap, and handed it over.

Milton leaned closer and read carefully. The text was already very familiar to it. In short, it was about disguising itself as a Motolizard and letting other people and Pokémon ride on its back every day, running around happily. It didn't seem to be difficult at all.

But this motorcycle lizard is too weak. Its average maximum speed is only 120 km/h, while it usually starts at 1200 km/h on roads without obstacles... Let's try limiting its speed a bit.

Seeing its personality gradually transform into a well-behaved "kitten", Mingyou breathed a sigh of relief. Even though its entire body had been modified, the instincts of the Motor Lizard deep in its genes still remained.

However, just to be on the safe side, Mingyou decided to refrain from using the full power mode for the time being. Once it went all out, its aura would obviously change a lot, becoming much more ferocious, so this way it would be fine...

Seeing Milton officially join the group and travel with them, Ponpo and the others were very happy and greeted him as Meloetta introduced them.

Since Millerton is currently in restricted mode, no one recognized it, and no one associated Millerton with the game Easter eggs that appear in video game stores, as they look quite different.

"Hmm?"

Ponpon tilted its head, looking at Millerton with curiosity. It felt that the other party looked familiar, after all, the two had fought in the online world, but it still couldn't quite remember.

But none of that matters anymore!

"Mmm~"

It greeted Milton politely and asked if it could sit on his back.

After receiving permission, Mingyou picked it up and put it on Milton's back, then sat on it herself, letting Ponpon sit in her lap.

After settling in and holding on tight, he took a short breath and slowly adjusted, muttering to himself, "Although I almost lost my life yesterday, with the speed limit today, it should be fine. I'll try driving for a while and get used to it!"

After all, he had only just begun to get to know Milton. Although he had gained her favor, it was only at the stage of friendly interaction, and they had not yet reached the point of complete trust.

"Let's get through this section and head northwest!"

Before heading to Kagome Town, Naruyu planned to visit Giant's Cave, a famously dangerous place in the Unova region, but with unique scenery. It is said to have been formed by a meteorite that fell thousands of years ago.

Moreover, that kind of environment is very convenient for training Pokémon, and he also plans to simulate that environment in his future ecological park to scout out the location.

Upon hearing the destination, Millerton asked him to take out his phone, Rotom.

"Um?"

With a puzzled look, Mingyou took out her phone, and then a purple current shot out from Millerdon's body, connecting with the phone's Rotom. At that moment, a map and location coordinates automatically popped up on the screen.

"Wow, it even has navigation!"

"Mmm~"

How did you do that?

Ponpo was a little curious. It was just like a data cable. So, does that mean the Milton is actually a large portable power bank that can charge your phone anytime?

This is the perfect Pokémon for home and travel!

"Miller!"

Once the location coordinates were determined, Millerton slowly floated up, retracting and folding its limbs, curling its long tail into a wheel shape, and at that moment, it and the air sac on its neck simultaneously shone brightly, and purple electricity began to flow rapidly, transforming into a driving mode!

"Mmm!"

So cool!

Ponpo was completely stunned.

Mingyou grabbed the handrails on either side of the Millerton and shouted, "Hold on tight, don't fall! This isn't like the Deer with its protective measures!"

"Mmm!"

"Melo~"

Meloeta, perched atop the Millerton, excitedly began the countdown. As the final note faded, the engine roared, and the Millerton transformed into a streak of purple light, speeding along the beach road.

Like a bolt of lightning slicing across the coastline, before the wild Pokémons and trainers on the road could react, it had already vanished without a trace, leaving only a long trail on the beach.

Feeling the speed, Meloeta changed her posture, sitting sideways on Milton's head like a lady, her hands clasped together and placed on her chest.

Her light green hair swayed in the wind, and with the rhythm of the wind, colorful musical notes appeared around her, playing a beautiful melody.

La~ la la la~ la la~ la la la~

Riding a motorcycle and listening to music, speeding along the sun-drenched coastline, Meloeta's singing voice controlled his emotions, causing Milerton, who was originally only focused on moving forward, to momentarily pause.

It's not that it's never heard music before, but this is the first time it's been able to evoke such emotions and make it feel like it!

It sounds so good...

This is because Meloietta composed a new piece specifically for Milton after hearing the word "future" yesterday, following her high-speed car chase.

It was also very happy to see Milton like it, which gave Mingyou a unique experience.

It's an all-rounder for land, sea, and air travel, capable of running in any environment. It features fully intelligent connectivity and navigation, and even comes with in-car music when paired with Meloetta!

All I can say is: Perfect!

"No... Look ahead! Look ahead!"

Suddenly snapping out of his daze, Mingyou realized that Milton was so engrossed in listening to music that he had completely veered off course, and he couldn't control himself at all. He could only watch helplessly as Milton hurtled straight toward the distant mountain wall at 120 km/h.

"ah!!!"

boom--

The ground seemed to shake violently. The mountain wall, which was violently struck, could not withstand Milton's force and was smashed to pieces, burying them inside, until a trainer who witnessed the scene called the police.

In the afternoon, at the Pokémon Center near Giant's Cave, Meiyu sat on the sofa with bandages on, looking utterly hopeless, as Nearly Doll changed her dressing.

"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 continued speaking in a way that even he seemed to recognize. Officer Jenny, who had brought him here for treatment, handed him his ID back, crossed her arms, and scolded, "You're a public figure, for crying your eyes out over how to drive!"

"That was just a minor accident..."

"Stop making excuses. The Unova region isn't like the Padmaya region. Many places here are extremely dangerous. Letting the Motor Lizard run around without considering the terrain is hardly your responsibility!"

"..."

Mingyou had no way to refute it.

Miss Officer Jenny didn't continue to criticize him. She adjusted her hat and said with a slightly weary tone, "When we received the report, we thought your motorcycle lizard had also gone berserk and was dragging you up the mountain. It turns out you messed things up yourself. Don't do that again next time!"

"Um?"

Hearing the key point in the other person's words, Mingyou asked curiously, "Pokémon out of control? What happened? Is it serious?"

"I guess so..."

Officer Jenny sighed softly, glancing over the Pokémon Center, which was nearly empty, and continued, "Starting about two months ago, Pokémon have been frequently going out of control in Giant's Cave and the surrounding area. This includes not only wild Pokémon, but also those with trainers. They've even attacked their own trainers, causing quite a few injuries."

"..."

"Our police have already issued a notice asking trainers and tourists not to approach the Giant's Cave area recently, but whether they come or not is their own business, and we have no right to stop them. After all, this is the Unova region that values ​​freedom."

After saying this, Officer Jenny bid him farewell and left the Pokémon Center. Before leaving, she advised him that if he had nothing else to do, he should leave as soon as possible, as the Giant's Cave was just ahead.

Seeing her leave, Mingyou glanced at Ponpo and the others who were standing next to Milton not far away. She didn't expect such an incident to happen in Giant's Cave. However, the Pokémon out-of-control incident should not affect her, right?

He thought this with a glimmer of hope, then gently pinched the bandaged wound on his arm. His body jerked, and he gasped, "Ouch! That hurts... I'll never speed again!"
