Pokémon: Starting as a Farmer Instead of a Trainer

Chapter 324 Meloetta catches an unexpected cold, N finally wakes up (Seeking monthly votes)

A sudden rainstorm during the semi-finals stopped quickly after a brief shower. To avoid catching a cold, many spectators rushed to change clothes after the match, preventing Mingyou from being completely surrounded.

However, Ponpo has become incredibly popular. Its adorable appearance combined with its calm and powerful strength makes it hard for trainers not to fall in love with it, and it's likely that many Ponpo-related products will appear soon.

(Mingyou: Okay! This is what I want to see)

In a park outside the venue, the group who had finished the competition gathered. Ash, who had recovered his Pokémon from Nurse Joy, was not disappointed by the defeat, but instead became even more determined.

"Let's fight again next time we have the chance! Pikachu and I will both become stronger!"

"Pikachu!"

"Mmm~"

Welcome to the battle!

Ponpo swayed her body and responded with a smile.

"But then again, it's actually a Pokémon! We didn't realize it for so many days!"

Ash and his friends surrounded Ponpo, all wanting to reach out and touch it, their faces filled with the longing to learn about the unknown Pokémon.

Mingyou smiled calmly, then asked the others, "The Youth Cup ends tomorrow. What are your plans? Are you going back to Ripple Town?"

"I'm going to spend two more days there, and then I'll head back to the Johto region to prepare for the Grand Contest Festival."

Hikaru responded somewhat reluctantly. It was such a rare and lively occasion, and once he returned to the Johto region, he would be traveling alone again. So he wanted to make the most of these few days and continue to create memories.

Ash smiled and said, "We're going to head west to Odd Dragon City. Before we participate in the Hiragana event, we'll visit Iris's hometown, Dragon Country."

"Looks like we're going to break up..."

Mingyou was also a little reluctant, but meeting and parting are an inevitable part of this world, and parting is for a better meeting!

If nothing else comes up, they'll be heading back to Beishang Township tomorrow. It's been a long time since they've been home, and to be honest, they really miss it.

The group continued their conversation, but none of them mentioned the finals tomorrow. After all, the two players must have already made preparations. The fact that these two players, who were not favorites to win, entered the finals as dark horses has certainly boosted the popularity of the Youth Cup.

Because of the rain, their clothes were soaked, so they had to separate temporarily, go back to change their clothes and take a shower before getting together to eat.

Back at the hotel, Mingyou told Xiaozhao to go to the bathroom first, as she still had some things to do...

The hotel lobby suddenly became lively as Snorlax and Lucario looked at the evolved Garchomp and were happy for each other.

The Crowned King wasn't worried about any of that. It was still interviewing Meloetta, hoping she would sing for it. However, after returning from the event today, Meloetta seemed to be in a bad mood and wasn't interested in singing, which worried Zhenyi and the others.

Mingyou sat on the sofa, looking at the white dragon mark on the back of his hand, recalling the scene when Zekrom appeared. He had just asked Ash about this issue.

The other person said that on the day they arrived in Deer Town in the Unova region, they encountered Zekrom, but Zekrom released a black cloud thunderstorm that covered the entire town, absorbing Pikachu's electricity and leaving Pikachu weak for a long time before it barely recovered.

Based on the timeline, Zekrom appeared in Deer Town around the time N summoned Zekrom and went berserk. Unfortunately, N happened to run into him, and it wasn't until some time later that Zekrom was captured by Ghetsis.

"So you came here today just to return the electricity you absorbed? Or is it...?"

This might be one of the reasons. The fact that Zekrom was briefly persuaded by N during the destroyer mission shows that the other side was not completely controlled by Quetzalcoatl and still had its own will. However, Quetzalcoatl's orders still took precedence over everything, which is why the attack continued.

So coming here at this critical juncture is probably related to me. The white dragon and the black dragon are opposites. Perhaps they served the same king in a certain era, but reality and ideals can never lead to the same future.

He had a connection with Reshiram, and that connection might even be strengthening, which had attracted Zekrom's attention. Truth and ideals were destined to clash!

"To find out the answer, I really need to get the Light Stone..."

murmuring softly, Mingyou then noticed Meloetta, who was being worried about by the flapping wings not far away. She frowned slightly and quickly got up and went over.

"What's wrong?"

"Melo..."

Meloetta shook her head; she was just a little tired... she didn't want everyone to worry.

Mingyou reached out and gently touched its forehead. It was slightly hot, probably due to the rain earlier. She immediately went back to her room and brought over some fever reducers and Banlangen granules.

"Don't grit your teeth and bear it if you have a cold. Nobody will think you're a nuisance. Take these medicines and rest for a while. I won't go to eat later; I'll take care of you at the hotel."

"Melo..."

Meloeta blushed slightly, nodded gently, and then lay down on Mingyou's lap, slowly drifting off to sleep.

Seeing this, everyone was quite worried about it. The joy of winning the game today was also greatly diminished. Nothing is more important than teammates.

Even the Crown King stopped bothering her and instead recommended some herbs that were effective for treating colds, but under its powerful mental attention, it felt that Meloetta's cold was a bit strange.

Unfortunately, its current strength is still too weak to analyze the reason, but it did not hide the matter and told the truth.

"Not a regular cold?"

"I can't be sure either, so you should still be a little careful."

"Um……"

Mingyou's expression was slightly solemn. He nodded gently. How come all these things happened so coincidentally?

Just then, the bathroom door suddenly opened, and Xiao Zhao, having changed her clothes, came out with a hairdryer. Since she had to go out again, she simply rinsed herself with hot water to avoid making Ming You wait too long.

Just as she was about to tell the other person to take a shower, she noticed the situation on the sofa, quickly stopped the hairdryer, and went over: "What happened to it?"

"I have a cold and fever, could you take care of it for me for a little while and not wake it up?"

"no problem!"

Xiao Zhao draped her still-dry hair over her shoulders and gently hugged Meloeta. Mingyou glanced at her, then grabbed her clothes and headed to the bathroom. A moment later, a scream rang out.

"It's so hot!"

"Where is it hot? I've always used this water temperature."

Xiao Zhao responded instinctively.

Mingyou: "..."

A moment later, Mingyou quickly changed her clothes and came out.

Seeing him come out, Xiao Zhao handed Meloetta back and said with a slightly worried tone, "This child's fever is indeed as strange as what King Rai-King said, but I haven't found the reason either."

"It's okay, it's not your fault."

Mingyou picked up Meloeta and sat back on the sofa. In this state, even the fruits in the manor used to treat colds probably wouldn't work.

Xiao Zhao sighed softly, picked up her bag, and said, "Then you guys shouldn't go out today. I'll go eat and bring some back for you."

"Okay, thank you for your help."

"Don't trouble me with anything, family. Meloeta's health is more important."

Xiao Zhao gently patted Meloeta's head, forcing a smile before leaving.

Hearing the door close, Mingyou sighed softly. Her mood had been completely overwhelmed by this incident. The safety of her Pokémon was definitely more important than the competition.

"Hmm..."

Ponpo lay beside her, watching with a worried expression, hoping that Meloetta would get better soon.

After a while, Mingyou's phone Rotom suddenly floated into the air on its own, accompanied by a flash of purple electricity, and Millerton appeared!

"Miller~"

While everyone else was watching the competition, it stayed in the online world. It wasn't interested in those battles; it felt that it was more interesting than humans in the distant future who had become digital beings and used technology to travel to the past to hold a Desire Grand Prix.

So it was assigned the task of taking care of N in the online world. If N makes any moves, it should immediately come out and inform everyone.

Right now!

Hearing this, Mingyou was slightly taken aback, then came to her senses: "What? N woke up?"

"Miller~"

Millerton nodded, then suddenly noticed that Meloetta seemed a little off, so he immediately went over to her, tilting his head in confusion.

"Miller?"

"It has a cold and fever, don't wake it up."

"Miller..."

Seeing Meloetta breathing softly in her sleep, looking uncomfortable, Millerton gradually calmed down, stretched out his head and gently rubbed against Meloetta, as if he was also worried.

Its reaction surprised Mingyou a little. Now that Milton has been with everyone for a long time, it has become more and more emotional. It can get angry, happy, and also feel sad like this.

"Alright, I'll go check on N's situation first."

Mingyou entrusted Meloetta to Ponpon's care temporarily, and with Milton's ability, she and the Lady Crown King, who wanted to join in the fun, entered the network world.

That familiar feeling that transcends reality and the internet flashed by, and when they came to their senses, they found themselves in the online world, inside a Pokémon Center generated by data.

"Wow, this is the online world?"

This is the first time that the Queen of the Lace has entered. She has a feeling that she can use this thing to create a metaverse game, but she still has to take it one step at a time.

Mingyou didn't care what it was thinking. Her gaze was fixed ahead, where she saw N, who had already woken up, sitting on the hospital bed not far away, with bandages wrapped around his body and a somewhat dazed expression.

However, upon hearing footsteps, N's thoughts were gradually pulled back. Although she didn't know where she was, when she saw Mingyou appear, a slight smile appeared on her tired face.

"My friend..."
