Pokémon: Starting as a Farmer Instead of a Trainer

Chapter 371 Targeting Zacian and Entei, and traveling with Riko? (Seeking monthly votes)

Feeling the gazes fixed on her, Riko completely panicked and dared not move, she really dared not move.

She was just a little concerned and wanted to come over to thank Mingyou for saving her and Xinye Miao, but she didn't expect to witness such a scene.

What should I do? This is terrifying!

"Don't worry, they're just catching up with their fellow villagers. Just pretend you didn't see them, they'll forget about it anyway."

Mingyou said apologetically, it seemed that the tense atmosphere between Keldeo and Calyrex had frightened each other, but Calyrex could make people forget about it when they saw it, so there was no need to worry too much.

"I'm not erasing your memory, it's just like being a stranger you pass by and gradually forgotten. But in this situation, you're not someone who can be easily forgotten, so I need to..."

As she spoke, the Crowned Queen was about to unleash her spiritual power when Mingyou quickly stopped her: "What are you doing!"

"Let her get a good night's sleep."

"There's no need for that. If we see it, we see it. We'll have to go back anyway."

Holding the cabbage down, Mingyou sighed helplessly and looked at Riko, who was too scared to move. She said apologetically, "Sorry, I was just trying to scare you. It's very popular where I'm from; it's the village's mascot."

"Uh-huh."

"This is clearly not a letter..."

The atmosphere grew increasingly awkward. Seeing that they truly meant no harm, Rico placed her hand on her chest and whispered, "Actually, I overheard your conversation... Was it true?"

She had actually been standing there for a while. Although she hadn't heard the Queen of the Raikou's telepathic communication, she had heard everything that Mingyou said.

Time travel, helping a begging Talebages, and a future destroyed by humans... it's practically a science fiction story.

"Of course not..."

"It's true."

Mingyou interrupted the King of the Rairen's attempt to conceal his identity. Rather than being suspected, it was better to explain his origins directly. Sincerity was the easiest way to gain trust, and he needed Riko's Talebagos' help.

The sheer volume of information was overwhelming for Rico. She was already exhausted from being embroiled in the Dream Exploration Team and the Talebages affair, and now this unexpected influx of information...

"You should go and get some rest. Kids shouldn't stay up late, especially since you're a girl. You need to take care of your skin... Of course, you can tell other people about those things."

"Huh? Can I say that?"

Riko stared wide-eyed, completely bewildered. She was ready to help cover it up, but at this moment she had subconsciously come to see Naruto as one of those heroes from science fiction stories who travels through time to save Pokémon.

Mingyou chuckled and waved his hand: "Just don't spread it too far. Of course I won't stand idly by when Pokémon ask me for help, especially since all of this is to find our lost companions."

"Find...our companion?"

In that instant, many stories flashed through Riko's mind, and the image of Mingyou gradually began to shine brightly and majestically in her heart.

"???"

Seeing the girl's eyes suddenly light up and look at him with admiration, Mingyou typed a few question marks, wondering what the child was thinking.

But at this moment, Riko just clenched her little fists seriously, left with the words "You must succeed, I will help," and then turned and left.

Watching her walk down the stairs, leaving only Mingyou holding the sleeping Pengpeng, he was stunned for a while before recovering, and smiled calmly: "This child is quite cute. It certainly has an unusual charm to have Talebagos by her side, but it also comes with many dangers, just like the protagonist's halo..."

Meanwhile, the conflict between Keldeo and the Raiden King had also briefly subsided. Naruto turned to look at them and asked curiously, "How did it go?"

The Crowned King calmly responded, "It didn't believe that my dog ​​could beat it, so we made a bet. If it wins, I'll teach it how to become stronger; if it loses, it'll have to keep its tail between its legs."

"Is your husky here too?"

Mingyou naturally understood that the dog that the Lady Crown King was talking about was Zacian, the King of Swords. The other party's real intention was to have Zacian give Keldeo special training to improve his strength, which was why he deliberately provoked and angered the other party.

Upon hearing this, Raicron put her hands behind her back and gently shook her head: "The Zacian I know isn't here ≠ the Zacian that Turnip knows isn't here. You understand the inequality, right?"

"..."

Mingyou was speechless for a moment. The other party wanted to use the name of the Raiden King of this world to ask Zacian of this world for help.

"Don't give yourself away."

"Let's find it first. The spaceship is currently near Motostoke in the Galar region. Tomorrow, those people seem to be going to the Poké Ball factory to investigate some Ancient Poké Balls. We can go down there and take the train from Motostoke to the Crown Tundra."

"Then I'll do as you say."

Mingyou knew that it must have already planned out the next itinerary. Anyway, it seemed that Riko and the others were busy with other things, so they could go to the Crown Snowfield and come back. They weren't worried about not having enough time.

As he spoke, he gently picked up Ponpo, stood up, and said that he had traveled through three different time periods in just one day, which was quite tiring. He suggested they go and rest for a while.

He had just taken a step when he felt something familiar tugging at his trouser leg. Looking down, he saw Meltan sitting on the head of the Burning Bug, about to climb onto him.

"Miroku~"

"Buzzing~"

"Huh!?"

Mingyou was immediately stunned, thinking it was a hallucination. Weren't these two rejected when they wanted to come along? Why are they here?

The Crowned Queen seemed to remember something and said, "I almost forgot to tell you, that green tea b*tch and the other two were hiding in your backpack and came here with you. Now everyone is on this ship."

"ha?"

Mingyou glanced down at the Burning Bug and Meltan, and after a long while, sighed. It must have been Smocha who planned it; she's the one in the family who loves playing pranks the most.

But since things have come to this, we have no choice but to leave it at that for now.

"Buzzing~"

The firefly happily crawled away...

The night passed quickly, and Mingyou's room became lively early in the morning. Ponpon informed them that the Green Vine Snake and the others knew that Mingyou had also come.

"Okay, okay, I can hardly breathe anymore..."

He struggled as everyone pinned him to the bed, but there was no pain on Mingyou's face. For him, it was only a day since they last saw each other, but for Zhenyi and the others, it had been a full three months, and in this unfamiliar place at that.

Keldeo stood not far away, completely stunned. It never expected that Meiyu would be so popular, and these Pokémon all looked quite strong. No wonder the other party could command it.

After a moment, Mingyou finally struggled to get out of bed and introduced Keldeo to everyone, but did not tell them about its past, so as not to affect their mood.

Seeing the new companions join, everyone was as enthusiastic as ever, which made Keldeo a little overwhelmed. It had been a long time since it had been surrounded by its companions like this.

dong dong dong-

A knock sounded on the door, followed by Fried's voice: "It seems quite lively in the room. Do you have a moment? There's something I need to tell you."

"They're here."

Mingyou opened the door and walked out, only to see Fried standing in front of the door with a heavy expression, and Rico following beside him. It was clear that the other party had already told others about it.

He closed the door again before asking, "Is there something you need?"

Fried nodded and slowly said, "I've heard about your situation, although it may be inexplicable even to science... but I have a request."

Upon hearing this, Mingyou didn't ask what the request was, but instead chuckled lightly, "You trust me that much?"

"People who treat Pokémon like family are unlikely to be bad. Even if you are not trustworthy, the feelings that Pokémon have for you are genuine."

Fried raised his hand and, seeing Mingyou nod and a smile appear on her face, continued, "I hope you can take Riko with you to the Crown Snowfield, and of course I will go with you."

"Are you coming along?"

Mingyou was somewhat surprised. Didn't they have some kind of operation planned? Could it have been canceled?

Fried continued, "The Dream Exploration Team is definitely still watching us in order to capture Talebagos, and just last night, someone discovered traces of the Flame Emperor in the Crown Snowfield..."

"Emperor Yan?"

"Yes, although we're not sure if it's the one we're looking for, we're splitting into two groups to avoid losing any clues. One group will stay here to investigate the Ancient Poké Balls and distract the Dream Team, while the other group will investigate clues about Entei."

Fried continued, saying that although Mingyou didn't quite understand why they were looking for Emperor Yan, he would explain on the way, and besides, it wouldn't be a problem.

"Alright then, please take care of me!"
