Pokémon: Starting as a Farmer Instead of a Trainer

Chapter 333 Let's Sleep Together, This White Dragon Never Gives Up Easily (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

"To reject a legendary Pokémon that acknowledges you and throws itself at you—you probably wouldn't find another person like you in the whole world, would you?"

In the villa's living room, Zhu Lan was incredibly impressed by Ming You's choice. Even she herself would have carefully considered it if she were in such a situation.

Even if it weren't for Reshiram's power, they would still be interested in the historical legends he experienced, unlike Naruyu who simply refused.

Shali, standing to the side, clutched her camera, looking utterly dejected: "I didn't even have a chance to take any pictures..."

Dan Yu fainted on the spot from anger because Ming You rejected Rashiram. Wu Li and Xiao Guang are taking care of her and are not here for the time being.

Mingyou himself didn't care. If the Meloetta incident hadn't happened, he might have excitedly agreed, but things were different now. People grow up, and he didn't want to see such a thing happen again.

Moreover, apart from Latias, no one else paid much attention to this matter. Even the Lady Crown was debating whether riding a purple motorcycle or riding a white dragon was cooler, and ultimately chose the former.

As expected, Milerton is still more popular.

"Miller~"

Milerton, who was playing with the beautiful Milerton, turned his head and glanced at it, as if he sensed that someone had said it was handsome.

However, the main reason was that Reshiram gave them a feeling of being high and mighty, as if it was an honor for anyone to assist him. This was especially true for Ponpo, who was standing next to Mingyou at the time, and she could feel it most clearly, so she was not very comfortable.

Compared to the crown daisy, although the turnip also often does some abstract things that leave everyone speechless, it never puts on airs. Even if it's just eating fruit worms, the crown daisy will treat it as an equal, and might even be more humble...

"Why do I feel like someone's secretly badmouthing me?"

Having finally succeeded in recruiting Meloetta into her band, the Queen of the Crests turned around abruptly, her dignified gaze sweeping over everyone before finally settling on Mingyou.

"Was it you? Hei Zi, speak up!"

"I'll settle the score with you when we get back."

Mingyou responded calmly, then, not wanting to continue the topic, asked, "Sister Zhulan, is there anything else going on in the next few days? You're probably leaving soon, right?"

"Pretty much. After all, I've been in Unova for too long this time, and I still have some things to take care of in Sinnoh. I'll probably have to wait another four or five days before leaving."

After thinking for a moment, Zhu Lan asked, "What about you? Are you leaving with them the day after tomorrow?"

The day after tomorrow, Danyu and her brother will go with Xiaoguang to the Johto region to watch a grand tournament before returning to Kitakami Township. Although Xiaoguang has already collected all the ribbon badges, it won't stop them from going to see the strength of their competitors.

Mingyou shook her head, glanced at Meloetta who was sitting with the Brilliant King and Zhenyi, and lowered her voice to say, "After they leave, Xiaozhao and I want to go to Rippling Bay to investigate, so we may stay a few more days before going back."

"Hmm? What are we going to Rippling Bay for?"

"That area belongs to the East Blue of the Unova, right between Ripple Town and Blueberry Academy. A friend told me that something might have happened there."

Mingyou replied simply, he hadn't forgotten what Xiaoyou had told him. Although it was just a guess, he felt that the underwater ruins might be somewhere in the East China Sea.

After understanding the situation, Zhu Lan nodded gently.

"Alright, feel free to ask me anytime if you need any help. As for tomorrow, everyone should relax and have some fun at the beach next to the villa. Cattleya will also bring some food and drinks as a reward for your victory."

"Thank you so much for your help."

"fine."

The two, along with Shali, continued chatting. Xiaozhao seemed to be busy with something. She had just come downstairs and happened to hear the conversation, so she stopped.

"Playing at the beach...going swimming, which means...it's finally my turn. I don't think I have a swimsuit yet. I wonder if Danyu has one..."

Talking to himself in words that no one else could understand, Xiao Zhao turned around and went back upstairs.

That night.

After chasing away the annoying Danyu, Mingyou told Pengpeng and the others to rest early. With a mix of trepidation and nervousness, she kept her promise and went to Xiaozhao's room next door. Standing in front of the door, she gently knocked.

dong dong——

"..."

dong dong dong-

"Just open the door and come in."

"oh."

Mingyou gently pushed the door open and stepped inside.

Xiao Zhao, who had just finished showering, was sitting on the bed drying her hair. There was no one else in the room.

He closed the door behind him, stepped forward, and asked, "So... what do you need me for?"

"..."

Xiao Zhao put down the hairdryer and didn't tie up her long, loose hair anymore. She stood up, looked at him, and said an apology in a heartfelt tone.

"Actually, it's about the match... I've been keeping it from you, and it's about Reshiram, which I deliberately didn't tell you about."

Now that the competition is over, she naturally needs to clarify these things with the other party, even if the other party doesn't care, she still feels guilty.

And that was indeed the case. Mingyou scratched his head and replied, "None of this matters. You don't need to apologize at all."

"No……"

"Um?"

"There's one more thing I have to tell you, which is about the battle between Typhlosion and Ponpo. We had already made a promise... but I didn't take it seriously at first, which disappointed you."

"That's true."

Mingyou didn't try to comfort the other person on purpose. He did show his dissatisfaction at the time because he felt that the other person was not capable of doing such a thing.

Xiao Zhao gave an awkward laugh and said, "Because you're always causing trouble, I didn't take you seriously and wanted to test your abilities myself. I didn't realize that you no longer need my attention."

"So you were deliberately testing me?"

"Um……"

"You really are..."

Mingyou smiled helplessly, a warm feeling welling up in her heart. How could she blame her for this? She also had a lot of problems. If she hadn't always made the other person worry, how could Xiaozhao have ended up like this?

Having received forgiveness, Xiao Zhao finally showed her usual smile, her cheeks flushed. She straightened up, took a deep breath, and took out a folded white headscarf from behind her.

"Here you go, this is the gift you promised~"

"Um?"

Mingyou reached out and took it. Wasn't this the headscarf that the other person usually wore on their head? They only didn't wear it during the colder winter months.

"Don't you want it anymore?"

"Here you go. This is my most precious item, just like Ponpo's Oni Mask. It's filled with memories of my past life in the Seishiro region, when I was a member of Team Galactic."

Xiao Zhao reminisces about the past, smiling as she recounts the origin of this headscarf. But now she has let go of the past and started a new life, so this headscarf should also be put down. However, precious memories should, of course, be kept by the person she cherishes most!

"So, accept it!"

"I understand."

Mingyou put the headscarf away, already understanding the importance of this item to Xiaozhao. He would keep it safe until the day they both grew old, and then take it out again.

Seeing that he accepted it, Xiao Zhao nodded in satisfaction, then added with a smile, "I've already washed the headscarf clean. It's okay if you want to wear it; Xiao Guang made me a new one."

"It would be even better if it weren't washed..."

"Why don't you just give it back to me?"

"Ha ha."

Mingyou couldn't help but laugh out loud, and Xiaozhao was also infected by the other's laughter, and smiled gently.

The atmosphere had built up to this point. She put her hands behind her back, took a deep breath, and a slight blush rose on her beautiful face. Her eyes darted around, and she stammered shyly, "Since we're already here... why don't you stay tonight? We've been chatting all night these past few days, and I'm starting to feel a little uncomfortable without you by my side."

"But there's only one bed."

"..."

"Aren't you going to kick me?"

"..."

"you……"

"You talk too much!"

Xiao Zhao had had enough. She grabbed his collar and threw him onto her bed. Shouldn't she be the one feeling shy? Why are you looking like a girl about to lose her virginity?

For more than a month, the two had managed to maintain their composure and boundaries, but at this moment, that last bit of composure finally vanished.

The room lights went out, and the two people lying on the same bed remained silent, the atmosphere gradually becoming awkward, even though they clearly had a lot to say.

But just then, after turning off the lights, Mingyou discovered that the white dragon mark on the back of his right hand had not yet faded, and in the dim environment, it was still emitting a faint light.

"What does this mean?"

"They probably don't want to give up on you, right? After all, it wasn't easy to find the right person."

Taking advantage of this topic, Xiao Zhao deliberately moved closer to him. The other party pretended not to understand, but she was different and had to take the initiative!

Upon hearing this, Mingyou shook her head slightly. She had already said that she was not a real person, yet she still wouldn't give up. Why not just find an opportunity to give the Bright Stone to N after everything was over?

"Perhaps it also has its own stubbornness?"

"This advantage is not good."

Mingyou was too lazy to pay attention to it and let the white dragon mark continue to light up. She wasn't the kind of person who would live off a woman, and she shouldn't be forced to pay someone else.

Feeling the warmth of her body and hearing her heartbeat beside her, Mingyou snapped out of her daze, suppressing her nervous and agitated feelings, and softly asked, "I said... do you really have to be this close to me?"

"Then... should I move further away?"

That's fine.

With things having come to this, Mingyou had no choice but to turn sideways and hug the other person. He wasn't sure if he could hold his ground and cross that final line with the other person.

But as soon as his arm touched the other person's chest, he was already incredibly shy, barely managing to maintain his composure while taking the initiative. Suddenly, he was startled, and a blush, a mixture of nervousness, fear, and a hint of anticipation, spread from his ears throughout his body. Then, he slapped out.

Snapped--

"I knew it..."

"Feel sorry!!!"

Silent all night.

The next morning, before dawn, Mingyou woke up from his deep sleep. Regarding what happened last night, he only remembered being slapped and then losing consciousness; he knew nothing else.

He stared blankly at the ceiling with his eyes half-open for a while before finally noticing something and turning his head to look at the girl lying on her side beside him.

Xiao Zhao was still fast asleep, her long, dark gray hair spread out on the pillow, her eyes closed, her long, butterfly-like eyelashes trembling slightly as her red lips opened and closed, making Mingyou momentarily lost in thought.

Looking down, through the gap between the blankets, one could see Xiao Zhao's delicate, fair collarbone, and a glimpse of her snow-white skin... she wasn't wearing anything.

Reluctantly turning his gaze away, Mingyou always maintained the respect due to the other person. Only then did he suddenly realize that Xiaozhao's right hand had been resting on his body the whole time, as if he had been held and slept all night.

"I have absolutely no recollection of it..."

Mingyou chuckled and shook her head.

But as he made a slight movement, Xiao Zhao beside him slowly woke up, her sleepy eyes gazing at him groggily for a moment.

Mingyou softened her expression, seemingly having completely forgotten about being beaten up last night, and greeted him with a smile, "Good morning~ How did you sleep?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Zhao, who had just heard his voice, was stunned for a moment. She then realized that she was holding him in her arms, and her slightly confused eyes instantly cleared.

"Are you awake now? Then let's..."

Mingyou was about to ask the other person to let go of him, but the next second, Xiaozhao's pretty face suddenly came close, giving him no chance to react. Her warm and soft red lips were already pressed against his, and their lips touched.

In an instant, a delicate fragrance filled the air.

After a long while, with a groan, their lips parted. Xiao Zhao's eyes flickered slightly, her pretty face flushed, and she waited for her breathing to steady before looking at Ming You, who was still in a daze, and said softly, "That... last night's compensation, I... I really didn't mean to knock you out."

"Um……"

"Also, good morning~"
