Pokémon: Starting as a Farmer Instead of a Trainer

Chapter 318 The Fog and Haunting Incident in Beishang Township? (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

The Lacecrown was instantly defeated by Milton, losing its ability to fight, and was retrieved by Naruyu using a precious ball.

"Miller!"

Let me take one more bite! Just one more bite!

Milton wasn't satisfied and wanted to continue biting the Rare Crown's head, but Naruyu stopped him.

"You can't eat this! It'll make you stupid!"

"Miller..."

"Nair?"

Because of the commotion just now, everyone noticed Milton, and its purple metallic appearance instantly reminded them of the Easter eggs that appear in video game stores. Although it hasn't appeared recently, there really is such a Pokémon!

Everyone immediately gathered around.

"Miller?"

Suddenly surrounded, Millerton raised his head like a frightened kitten, becoming alert.

But then it realized that everyone was just curious about it, so it waved its paws and greeted them. Although it didn't realize it, it actually quite liked the feeling of being welcomed.

Mingyou breathed a slight sigh of relief. His biggest worry was still the unpredictable Milton. Although he had adapted to this era much better, he would still occasionally do dangerous things when he got carried away.

Looking at the Kirullian and the others surrounding Millerton, the Green Vine Serpent was unsure how to approach them. It wasn't very good at initiating contact with these creatures, and it was somewhat at a loss for words.

"Mengmeng!"

What a useless guy!

Unable to bear it any longer, Zhenyi grabbed the Green Vine Snake and headed towards it, ignoring its struggles, which almost led to another argument. Fortunately, Lucario appeared in time and stopped them.

However, the noise still startled the sleeping Snorlax. It rubbed its eyes, slowly got up, and its massive size of over three meters was very intimidating.

"Shark~"

Garchomp greeted it; the two had been very close since they were Gible and Munchlax, playing together every day.

"Kirby~"

Snorlax smiled and then noticed Meloetta sitting on its belly watching the fun. With Ponpo's introduction, they successfully got to know each other.

The once quiet park had instantly transformed into a bustling market. Suppressing her excitement, Xiao Zhao smiled and said, "It's so lively! I even feel a bit out of place. Maybe I should step aside for a bit?"

"We're all family, so what's there to avoid? Besides, we haven't seen you in a long time."

Mingyou smiled and gently nudged her, urging her to go over and greet everyone. Only then did she finally notice the matter of the Brilliant King and look at Xiong Daheyue.

"What's the deal with the turnips?"

"Awooo~"

"Hmm? I see..."

Upon hearing He Yue's explanation, Ming You finally understood that the Queen of the Roach had come all this way specifically because of her and Xiao You's match. In order to highlight the uniqueness of the turnip, she had even bought a valuable ball to tame herself, an unprecedented move.

He shook his head slightly, realizing he didn't have much free time to deal with the issue of the Lacecrown King for the time being. He would deal with it after the Youth Cup ended and he returned to the manor.

However, He Yue still had something to say.

"Awooo~"

"Huh? You mean Latios?"

Mingyou was slightly taken aback. Heyue told him that Latias's brother had been frequently visiting the manor recently. Although he hadn't done anything, it was still necessary to explain this.

"Alright... I guess he just wants to see how his younger sister is doing, whether she's being bullied. As a parent, I can understand that. Is there anything else important besides that?"

"Awooo~"

He Yue nodded, indicating that there were always outsiders who wanted to enter the manor under the guise of visiting, but they were all chased away by the Pokémon living in the manor.

In addition, it seems that the railway in Beishang Township has started construction. When a night owl flew by, it saw some giant steel snakes and super strong creatures digging into the mountain and moving stones, with a construction team following along.

The first thing was nothing out of the ordinary, but the second thing made Mingyou happy. She didn't expect things to move so quickly. She thought she would have to wait a while longer, but it's good that it's done as soon as possible!

"Is there anything else? Besides the manor, are there any issues regarding Kitakami Township?"

"Awooo..."

He Yue scratched his head with his paw, feeling that none of it was very important, but it did remind him of something about the Face-Covering Ritual.

The Masked Festival was held as scheduled this year, but some tourists who went to the top of Mount Oni with their Pokémon to take pictures were unexpectedly caught in fog and said they saw a ghost.

The weather was fine that day, and there was no fog at all. However, many tourists still witnessed this incident, so the administrators had no choice but to close off the area at the top of Ghost Mountain to prevent any accidents.

Later, the manager found the Crown Prince and begged him for help, but the Crown Prince was busy with his studio and passed the matter on to the Night Demon of the Haunted House. However, the Night Demon was busy with his work at the Haunted House and was too lazy to go.

"You guys..."

Mingyou hesitated, wondering where the ghost from Beishang Township was. Surely Taodailang hadn't won the revival match? So she continued, "And then?"

"Awooo..."

He Yue shook her head slightly. This matter was passed around, and in the end, no one was willing to travel such a long distance. She also had to take care of the manor's safety and didn't have time. However, Ghost Mountain did indeed have many unknown secrets.

"Okay... then."

Mingyou paused for a moment. Although she was curious, it was impossible to go back to Beishang Township to investigate the matter now. Since there were no accidental injuries or deaths, it shouldn't be too serious. She would wait until she got back to check. Anyway, the Youth Cup would end the day after tomorrow.

After asking Heyue about the situation and confirming that it wasn't anything serious, he stopped worrying and looked at the Pokémon interacting with Xiaozhao, a smile appearing on his face.

"Alright, let's go eat first. The competition is tomorrow, so let's get everyone in top form!"

"Mmm!"

As night fell, the two of them, ostensibly to adjust their state, actually led everyone on a tour of Kagome Town. Serperior fully integrated into the group and surprisingly got along quite well with Kirlia.

Meloeta is the same; everyone likes it, but it's quite interested in the mischievous Smocha. Its well-behaved and obedient nature gradually reveals its playful side in the overly comfortable environment around Mingyou.

Led by Naruto, Latias met with Lillie, and also sought out Mizuki, asking her some questions about using Z-Moves...

And so, the short day came to an end. The exhibition of the Bright Stone ended at five o'clock in the afternoon. Xiao Zhao had Sneasel keep watch nearby to prevent Team Rocket from sneaking in and stealing it.

However, with the museum closing, this worry finally disappeared. The Bright Stone was taken away and kept safe by Aldak, who was completely unaware of it, and it was announced that it would become the prize for the Junior Cup, unless the Rockets dared to directly snatch it from Aldak.

The night passed without a word.

After a day's rest, the anticipation of all the spectators who have been waiting all day will be unleashed in today's even more intense quarterfinal match.

Inside the competition venue, the enthusiastic cheers of the audience stirred everyone's emotions, and the contestants' families and friends also sat in the stands, cheering for the participants.

After waiting all day, the two players from Group A, who had adjusted their form, took to the field and faced off with their Poké Balls full of fighting spirit. This finally marked the official start of the quarterfinals of the Junior Cup!
