Pokémon: Starting as a Farmer Instead of a Trainer

Chapter 347 Shooting Down the Underwater Ruins, Returning to Beishang Township (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

After some time, Zhu Lan and N learned about what happened at the underwater ruins, but unfortunately they arrived too late and were unable to help.

Of course we can still help now!

All members of Team Rocket and Team Plasma, except for some who were blown off the island, were captured, including the organization's executives, and packed into Team Rocket's transport plane by Cynthia.

"You've solved two major problems directly, captured both Sakaki and Gwyneth, are you sure you don't want this achievement that could shock the entire world?"

Zhu Lan looked at the two people not far away.

At this moment, Mingyou was lying on Snorlax's belly, and Xiaozhao took off his clothes and helped treat his injuries. However, the two of them were not interested in the credit. If they became too famous, it would easily attract trouble. Besides, now was not the time for the manor to make a name for itself.

"It's best if we don't even mention it."

"Indeed, becoming famous this way would be very troublesome."

Zhu Lan wasn't surprised by their answers, knowing their personalities.

But the two organizations are not so easy to destroy. They still have many bases and members around the world. The capture of their leaders does not mean that they can be completely destroyed. The international police will have a lot to do next.

By this time, Kyurem had awakened. After being defeated by Milton, it seemed much calmer, or perhaps it had seen something...

N was talking to it, and Kyurem was looking at it. Although it knew who this person was from Zekrom's memories, it was still somewhat dazed.

Because N's temperament is so similar to that of the twin brothers who built the Unova Kingdom three thousand years ago, except for one thing.

N was once obsessed with creating an ideal world that liberates Pokémon, but now he has given up on that ideal. He has found his own answer and is no longer the one who pursues his ideal.

"That's it. Although I can't change anything on my own, I still want to rely on my own strength to make sure that there are no more barriers between humans and Pokémon on this planet, and that there will be no more wars, so that everyone can live happily like companions."

This is N's honest opinion. He used to think of himself as a Pokémon and viewed everything from a Pokémon's perspective with extreme ideas.

Now he wants to stand from a human perspective, remain neutral, and re-experience and re-experience these things; these are the answers he got from Mingyou.

"Humans and Pokémon..."

Kyurem looked down at him, and at the same time, the two forces within him finally broke free from their restraints, appearing as Zekrom and Reshiram, who had awakened during Kyurem's battle with Milton.

As the three separated, a coral-colored stone slab slowly floated into the air. The divine stone, which had been fused within Kyurem, had been separated, and it still retained its rationality and memories.

Zekrom looked at N in front of him. At this moment, it was no longer under the control of Ghetsis and knew who had truly summoned it.

But he had already heard what was said. So, should he continue to follow someone who had voluntarily given up his ideals?

The answer is...

"Zek!"

"You want to stay by my side?"

When N heard that Zekrom still wanted to follow him, he didn't quite understand. He had already given up his ideals, so why? Was it because of his dedication to his duty?

"Zek..."

Czechrom shook his head, not as a follower assisting an idealist, but as... a friend who could walk alongside him!

"friend……"

N forgot about Meiyou lying on Snorlax's belly in the distance, a smile appeared on his face, and he no longer refused, gladly agreeing to let Zekrom go with him.

"Lai'ao?"

what about me?

Reshiram stood there, stunned. "Even if I paid him, nobody would want me!" Although it was finally free from the Lightstone and regained its freedom, it was not resigned to its fate. It was not an honest fellow like Zekrom.

Hmm... how about we just kidnap Mingyou?

As it had this thought, the Calyrex was calmly poking Naruto's face with a twig, shouting, "Pay the copyright fees!"

It learned from Ponpo about Ponpo defeating Kyurem and immediately guessed that it must have been that scoundrel Mingyou who stole its idea.

"Go play somewhere else, I'll settle the score with you when we get back!"

Mingyou was too lazy to pay attention to it, but a shadow suddenly covered them. Reshiram flapped its wings and flew in the air, its cold blue eyes staring straight at him.

"Lai Ao!"

"W-What...what did you do?"

Mingyou was slightly taken aback. This was the first time he had seen Reshiram in person. The white fur looked very smooth and must feel comfortable to touch.

However, before the other party could express their meaning, he also had something to say, to express his apology: "I'm sorry, it was because of my problem that you were taken away, although it's too late to say this now..."

"Lai'ao?"

Reshiram, who was about to kidnap Mingyou, was slightly taken aback after hearing her apology. She didn't expect that the person who had always rejected her would say such a thing... No, it should be said that this is the real Mingyou, a person full of authenticity.

So why reject yourself?

As it looked on in confusion, Mingyou smiled and continued, "But now you're free. No one can restrain you anymore. Where do you want to go next?"

"Lai Ao!"

Need I say more!

Are you still watching me?

Mingyou smiled helplessly and shook her head gently: "It's no use. Just like you're breaking free of your restraints now, I don't want to be bound by constraints for no reason either. What's the difference between that and being kidnapped?"

"Of course, if you really want to come with me, I remember telling you that..." Mingyou paused briefly, then repeated, "If you're looking for a home, my manor welcomes you anytime!"

"..."

Reshiram remained silent, watching the Pokémon around Mingyou who were protecting it and looking at it. It had seen them all through the White Dragon Mark these past few days, watching them live happily together.

Recalling N's conversation with Kyurem and Zekrom's choice, it remained silent for a long time before finally giving up on the kidnapping and deciding to leave alone.

Where to go next? Just like Mingyou's question, it didn't really know either...

But then, with Xiao Zhao's help, Mingyou sat up, smiled at it, waved, and called out, "If you don't know what to do next, why not consider becoming my companion?"

"Lai'ao?"

Reshiram froze, slowly turning around, unable to believe that the human she had been offering herself to but had always refused was now extending an invitation to her.

Should we agree or not?

The other party has rejected me so many times...

Wouldn't that be embarrassing?

Perhaps we should refuse first?

The usually aloof Reshiram was suddenly thrown into disarray. It thought of Zekrom's offer to become N's companion, someone who had given up on ideals, while Mingyou was someone who had given up on reality.

The two situations are quite similar.

Although it wasn't for duty, as a companion, it recalled the piece Meloetta had composed for everyone when they said goodbye to Millerton, and to be honest, it was somewhat envious of that relationship.

After much deliberation, Reshiram made its own decision and agreed to become Naruyu's companion. The reason was simple: it also wanted to know what it was like to have a companion.

"Lai Ao!"

"Then, please take care of me!"

Mingyou smiled and waved to Reshiram, explaining that he had felt a little uneasy seeing Reshiram's lonely figure earlier.

Having lost his physical body and turned into a stone of light for thousands of years, he finally managed to escape, only to find himself alone with nowhere to go. Feeling guilty, he wanted to take the other person back to the manor to live with him...

Xiao Zhao didn't disturb them and was quite happy to see the result.

Just then, Rin, having finished dealing with Team Rocket and Team Plasma, walked over. Only then did she notice the presence of the Three Dragons of the Way. Her beautiful eyes widened with excitement, and she couldn't wait to go forward and study them properly.

But she prioritized the matter and had to put those thoughts aside for the time being. She called out, "It's almost time! The weather's back to normal now, and other people will notice this place soon. If you don't want to get involved in this, you'd better leave quickly."

"Um!"

There are still many things to deal with. Not only do we need to bring Team Rocket and Team Plasma with us, but we also need to resolve Kyurem's future, and there's one more crucial issue...

With the help of Reshiram and Zekrom, the transfer went very smoothly. Kyurem, under the influence of the Divine Stone, no longer needed to fuse and directly transformed into Dark Kyurem, following behind. Although it did not provide any help, it did not cause any trouble either. However, Xiao Zhao was still asked to keep a close eye on its condition.

After finishing all that, Mingyou did not go back with them. Instead, with Zhulan's permission, she sat on Reshiram and went up to the sky above the underwater ruins with Meloetta.

The connection between Meloetta and the Divine Stone has been broken thanks to the synchronizer, so Kyurem can no longer control it. However, the real source of its suffering has not yet been resolved!

"It's about to begin!"

"Melo!"

Meloetta perched on Mingyou's shoulder, gazing down at the underwater ruins that had bound it for a thousand years. Recalling a thousand years ago, it had no idea that the mission given to it was a curse, and that the agreement should not exist in this form.

So it's time to say goodbye forever to that "nightmare" that has haunted it all this time!

Hearing its response, Mingyou nodded gently, stroking Reshiram's soft fur and calling out, "I'm counting on you, Qingyan!"

"Lai Ao!"

Flames erupted from Reshiram's tail, activating its overclocking mode. The heat caused the surrounding atmosphere to swirl. It stared coldly downwards and spewed a powerful blue flame from its mouth, striking the top of the ruins pyramid and spreading out instantly.

Looking at this island that had been sleeping for a thousand years and was unknown to the world, before collapsing and falling in the burning and destruction of the blue flames, Mingyou withdrew his gaze, reached out and caught Meloetta, and smiled.

"Let's go home. It's time to return to Beishang Township!"

"Melo~"

"Lai Ao~"
