Pokémon: Starting as a Farmer Instead of a Trainer

Chapter 346 Millerton departs, the curtain falls on his song (Seeking monthly votes)

Unlike typical dragon-attribute crystal gems, after Milton is crystallized, the dragon's head and wings on the crystal gem are purple, and instead of a base resembling a castle as in fairy tales, it is directly decorated on the stove mask.

It's hard to say whether it's two Pokémon each having their own crystallization, or two Pokémon occupying the same crystallization; at least, Naruto has never seen it.

Kyurem was also taken aback by the sudden scene before him. The flames on his mask warded off the chill, and the dragon energy emanating from the Dragon Gem was in no way inferior to his own.

"What exactly is this...?"

Even Kyurem itself couldn't help but exclaim that it had never seen such power before. After all, it had only existed for a few thousand years, while the earliest known form of Taijing energy on Earth could be traced back to the ancient dinosaur era. Only in recent years has there been significant progress in its research.

There's no use in questioning these things. Since they are enemies blocking our way, we should annihilate them all!

A chill swept through, not just from the lightning, but also from the flames that were accelerating energy transfer, erupting from Kyurem's tail. Extreme Cold Flame and Freeze Volt were about to be released simultaneously, but…

"Mmm!"

"Miller!"

Before Kyurem could fully unleash its attack, Ponpo, riding Milton and enveloped in the energy of the crystal, unleashed a burst of dazzling dragon energy and crashed directly into it, achieving remarkable results and causing significant damage.

At this moment, Kyurem finally realized that his body, which had been severely injured in the previous battle, was already badly wounded. He then crashed heavily onto the ice and suffered another serious injury!

"Do you think... there's still a chance?!"

Naruto's strained voice came from afar. Supported by Kozaki, he smiled and continued shouting, "The strongest legendary dragon on Earth... just like a thousand years ago, let it be defeated once again!"

A thousand years ago, Kyurem destroyed the Unova Kingdom, but was successfully defeated by the efforts of three holy swordsmen and their companions. Now, the scene is repeating itself.

The flames of Ponpo and the lightning of Milton intertwined and circled in a hexagonal pattern around the dazzling Dragon Crystal, just as Reshiram and Zekrom were rebelling against the consciousness of the "Dragon God".

Kyurem reacted swiftly at that moment, his left hand igniting two huge fireballs surrounded by two rings of fire, his right hand emitting blue light, enveloped in a ring of purple electricity, forming a cross, his hands clasped together, the intertwined flames and intertwined lightning merging to unleash a massive burst of energy!

But Milton's attack had already landed. The Crystal Storm swept up triple-attribute energy, transforming into a massive purple dragon shadow with a metallic structure, representing the future that Kyurem wanted to create, and it fell straight down.

"Reality? Ideals? Chaos? We don't need any of those. Why should you decide? The future is something we all have to walk ourselves!"

As Mingyou finished speaking, the dragon shadow formed by the Taijing energy instantly engulfed Kyurem. The intertwined flames and lightning, swept by the Taijing storm, merged into it, amplifying their power. Blue lightning and orange flames burst forth, dealing a heavy blow to Kyurem!

The explosion resounded through the sky, a beam of energy shot straight into the heavens, the gloom that had shrouded the entire Unova completely dissipated, warm sunlight shone down, and the ice covering the underwater ruins shattered completely...

boom--

Kyurem's body completely stopped changing, and the awakened Reshiram and Zekrom continued to rebel against it. There was a conflict between reality and ideal, but they both rejected chaos; otherwise, they would not have left the Unova Kingdom, which had abandoned the truth.

The crystal shattered, and the brilliant energy particles shimmered in the sunlight, gradually returning to the earth. Millerton and Ponpon both returned to normal.

"Melo~"

Seeing everyone defeat Kyurem, Meloetta immediately went forward to celebrate, but at that moment it suddenly noticed that Milton's body seemed to be somewhat transparent.

"Melo?"

"Miller..."

Millerton sat on the ground, reverting to his restricted form. Although he felt like he hadn't used up much energy, he was inexplicably tired.

With Xiao Zhao's help, Mingyou came forward and, together with Pengpeng and the others, paid attention to Milton's condition, which seemed to be on the verge of disappearing.

"What's going on?"

"I don't know either……"

Xiao Zhao shook her head gently. She didn't seem to see that Millerton was injured. But why was that?

Kyurem was defeated and the freeze was lifted. Everyone gathered around, their faces devoid of any joy at the victory, all deeply worried about Milton's condition.

Zhenyifa, being more experienced, immediately flapped its wings and anxiously called out, "Mengmeng!"

"What?!"

Zhenyi recounted that when he was still a dream demon, he was suddenly sent to the ancient era by a surge of energy, where he lived for decades and became what he is now. Then one day, his body also developed this condition, and he returned to the modern world.

In other words, Milton is going back, back to that future hundreds of millions of years from now...

"Melo!"

Upon hearing this, Meloetta immediately became anxious. She didn't want Milerton to leave. They had clearly agreed that Milerton would take her for a race, and she had also said that she would teach him to sing.

Mingyou endured the pain, biting her lip, and remained silent like everyone else, because they all knew in their hearts that Milton was not a Pokémon of this era, and once they went back, they might never see it again.

Although we've only spent a few days together, we've already formed bonds with each other. Encounters and partings are part of the growth that everyone has to go through.

Xiao Zhao wanted to say something, but couldn't utter a word. She had been through something similar, except she was the one who left, so she naturally understood how painful it was to never see someone again.

"Miller..."

Seeing Meloeta hugging him and crying, Milerton weakly raised its paw to wipe away her tears. It didn't want anyone to be afraid of it, nor did it want anyone to cry because of it. But it couldn't bring itself to get up and make Meloeta happy like when they first met, when it could take her for a race.

Mingyou's expression was solemn, but at that moment she suddenly noticed something. In her hand was the little notebook she had shown Meloetta earlier, which recorded the gifts the other party had given to everyone, a new song.

"Quick, this one!"

He endured the pain and shouted.

Meloeta turned her head upon hearing the sound, and immediately understood what the other person meant. She quickly took the notebook, opened it, and decided that since the ending could not be changed, she would at least finish composing this piece as a testament to their friendship!

It immediately began finishing the piece. These past few days, it had felt that its days were numbered, but it hadn't told anyone, which was why it was so eager to finish the piece. But now that it was safe, its most important friend was about to leave it...

Everyone gave Meloeta their attention, but just then, a sound and laughter suddenly came from afar: "What a truly wonderful show!"

"..."

Xiao Zhao helped Mingyou up and turned around to look.

Giovanni, who had escaped during Kyurem's attack, was now walking out of the woods with his thawed subordinates, various firearms, and menacing Pokémon.

Sakaki, hands in his pockets, laughed heartily. Luckily, he hadn't run away like that coward, Quetzs. True ambitious people always wait for their opportunity. He had been observing the battle from the sidelines the whole time.

Now that Kyurem has been defeated, and both of their Pokémon have been severely depleted in the battle, now is the perfect time to capture not only these Pokémon and Kyurem who has absorbed the Dark Stone and Light Stone, but also the mutant crops that he has been eyeing for so long!

"Looks like today is my lucky day. Well then, I'll give you a chance. If you obediently give up resisting, I might spare your lives."

"Really..."

Seeing these guys ruining the atmosphere, Mingyou was about to respond when Xiaozhao gently helped her lean against Snorlax's belly and said, "I told you, I'll deal with them. I won't let anyone who hurts you get away with it!"

"and you……"

"Don't worry, just rest for a bit, and you'll soon be out of sight!"

Xiao Zhao raised her left hand, revealing the Z-bracelet she had just taken from Ming You. Despite never having used it before, she surprisingly skillfully embedded the Fire Z Pure Crystal into it and raised her slender arm.

Sensing something amiss, Apollo immediately ordered his men to attack, but it was too late; the fire-breathing beast, now condensed into ghostly flames, had already appeared ahead.

"Super-powerful extreme flare round!!!"

As Xiaozhao completed her final movement, her entire body was enveloped in golden energy, and she immediately flew out of the Inferno Beast's body, with Z-Force enveloping her entire body.

The condensed will-o'-the-wisp formed at the Firestorm Beast's fingertip, creating a massive, dark purple fireball tens of meters in diameter. A chill from the depths of the spirit world emanated from the fireball, and the Z power was fully unleashed!

The fireball was thrown like a bowling ball by the cold-faced Typhoon. Seeing the scene before them, the Team Rocket members could not push it back even an inch no matter how they attacked, and screamed as the flames rolled.

Giovanni had already begun to escape under Apollo's cover, but the rapidly approaching fireball rolled past like a nut bowling ball, even piercing through the pyramid ruins and hitting the Plasma Team destroyer on the other side, exploding with a bang!

Ghetsis, who was hiding inside the destroyer thinking about how to deal with Kyurem, was completely unprepared for the sudden attack. He and Giovanni were caught in the explosion, and the two of them were thrown into the air by the blast and landed seriously injured on a building in the northeast corner of the underwater ruins.

"Damn it...it's all your fault!"

Despite the pain in his body, Ghetsis noticed Giovanni beside him and immediately reached out to pinch him. If it weren't for these guys stalling for time, Kyurem would already be his.

"It's all you guys, isn't it!"

Sakaki suddenly jumped up and grabbed him by the neck as well. The two started fighting on the roof of the crumbling building. As the leaders of the two organizations, they chose the most primitive method to resolve their conflict.

"If it weren't for your Team Plasma planting a mole in our Team Rocket and stealing Meloetta, we wouldn't have suffered such a huge loss!"

"Who planted a traitor?! You bunch of guys who sheltered our Plasma Team traitors, you've come to sabotage and disrupt our plans for that traitor N!"

"Who harbored a traitor? You bunch of scoundrels who love planting moles! You even knew about our plan to get the Light Stone, and you still stole it beforehand!"

"Who stole the Light Stone?!"

As the two continued to wrestle, the conflict inexplicably escalated until the building beneath them finally gave way and collapsed. Their ambitions, like the shattered structure, were buried in the ruins...

Mingyou was naturally unaware of what was happening on the other side of the island, and even if he knew, he would be completely confused. He didn't understand why the two of them had so many conflicts.

After Xiao Zhao cleared out those guys, Meloeta finally finished composing. Holding the small notebook recording the score, she looked at Milerton, who was almost completely transparent in front of her, and bit her lip, but at this moment she didn't know what to do.

"Don't look so gloomy. You should smile. Music is meant to bring joy to people, and that's your creative philosophy, right?"

Hearing Mingyou's voice, Meloetta held back her tears and nodded gently. Just then, led by Latias and Calyrex, Cynthia rode Garchomp and finally brought N here. Both of them were shocked by what they saw.

But now is not the time to worry about these things. Meloeta adjusted her emotions, smiled, and opened her voice. From the musical bars-like stripes on her long green hair, many musical notes representing melodies appeared and floated in the air.

"Melo~"

Beautiful melodies surrounded everyone. The scores, written according to personal preferences, were not chaotic at all due to the mixing of different styles. On the contrary, they were very well matched and rhythmic, painting a picture of everyone in the air.

The pummelons sat on the ground, immersed in the moving melody, their bodies and minds relaxed, and the fatigue after the battle was swept away. But they could also clearly hear the melody carrying the meaning of parting with their companions.

Having just arrived at Cynthia and N, they were unaware of the situation, but they quickly became immersed in the melody and understood the emotions it evoked. Even Kyurem, who had been defeated and lost consciousness, slowly opened his eyes to the music...

"Miller..."

As Millardon watched Meloetta dance gracefully and nimbly to the melody, a smile gradually spread across his cold face. He felt satisfied and incredibly warm inside.

It wasn't that it was truly afraid of the cold. How could it still be affected by the weaknesses of the Motor Lizard after mechanical ascension? The reason it was afraid of the cold was that the future world was made up of cold machinery, without emotions, without companions, only the constant execution of orders.

While gaining emotions and companionship in this era, Milton also instinctively fears that one day he will return to that "cold" future, and this indirectly reflects on him, giving himself the signal that he is afraid of the cold.

But now, having endured until now, having witnessed its companions bidding it farewell, and having experienced things it had never had before... it can finally leave contentedly.

Perhaps there's still something to hold onto? It longs to stay in this era, to live with everyone, and to fulfill some unfulfilled promises, but such a dream is still too extravagant for it.

It's time to say goodbye...

As the music and dance ended, Meloetta slowly opened her eyes. Milton's figure had vanished before her eyes, transforming into crystalline energy particles and returning to the earth.

But it won't cry anymore. Saying goodbye to a good friend should be a happy thing, and besides, Milton has always wanted to see it happy.

"Melo~"

Meloeta's eyes glistened, and a smile appeared on her face as she gently waved her little hand at the scattered crystalline energy particles.

Mingyou stood aside, reminiscing about her time with Milton over the past few days. She took out a fast food sandwich from her backpack, tore open the packaging, and threw it over there. As the Taijing energy disappeared, it also gradually disappeared. The other party accepted this farewell gift.

Goodbye~
