Pokémon: Starting as a Farmer Instead of a Trainer

Chapter 377 Subduing the Sky-Piercing Flame and the Burning Bug: Team Galactic's Conspiracy (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

"Nair~"

Kirlia handed the calibrated Rotom phone to Mingyou and added everyone's new contact information on it using a dedicated line.

Mingyou took the phone, gently touched it, and said softly, "It's good that you're here."

"Nair~"

"So what's next? You're going to Waterboat Town? Why not go back and take our spaceship there? Even if it's the only clue, you should definitely go and see for yourself. That's what an adventurer should do, right?"

Fried's voice came from behind. Mingyou smiled faintly, her tone somewhat helpless: "I'm not an adventurer, but I'll still trouble you."

"It's no trouble at all; after all, this isn't just your problem anymore!"

Fried was well aware that if the matter of the out-of-control Talebagos continued to be delayed, the impact on spacetime would become even more severe, attracting not only more and more travelers from other timelines, but also unfortunate individuals from this timeline who would be drawn in.

He naturally didn't want to see such a scene. Besides, it's perfectly normal for adventurers to save things during their adventures!

"I...I want to help too!"

Rico clenched her little fists and said earnestly, "Talebagos is my friend. Its companion is in danger, so of course I have to help."

Hearing this, Mingyou smiled appreciatively: "No problem, let's all work together to solve it!"

"Um!"

After exchanging a few words, Mingyou withdrew his gaze and looked again at Pokongyan, who had completely calmed down. Seeing the Burning Insect perched on Pokongyan's crown, he stepped forward and asked, "Want to leave together?"

"Mengmeng~"

With the help of the winged creature to relay the message, the Sky-Breaking Flame nodded. It didn't understand what time travel meant, but since it had encountered the Burning Insect, it naturally wanted to protect it and make up for its previous mistake of attacking it.

"Buzzing~"

Seeing that the Sky-Breaking Flame was going to come along, the Burning Insect was very happy, but a problem arose: the other party was so big, how could they leave together?

Mingyou pondered for a moment, then took out a Poké Ball. This was the simplest method, although it wasn't about capturing the Pokémon, but he wasn't sure if Blaze would agree.

"Buzz!"

The Burning Insects chirped twice, and the Sky-Breaking Flame could now barely understand their language. Although it didn't want to be trapped in such a small creature, it was fine as long as it could protect the Burning Insects.

With permission, Mingyou used a Poké Ball to capture Flareon, but the ball shook too much and it almost broke free. Fortunately, she managed to capture it successfully in the end.

"That's fine. We can release it once we get on the spaceship, right?"

Mingyou looked at Fried, somewhat worried that the Void Flame might cause some damage to the spaceship.

"It's alright, the spaceship isn't as fragile as you think. It can handle even if a few more come."

Before Fried could finish speaking, Lyco added, "It's only fallen a few times."

"..."

"Then I'm relieved."

Mingyou chuckled lightly, then planned to go back with everyone. They had originally come to find clues about the Flame Emperor, but the information turned out to be false; all they had was the Void-Breaking Flame.

Furthermore, it seems unlikely that things will be resolved on Keldeo's end anytime soon. Anyway, we can contact Raiden to inquire about the situation, so there's no need to worry too much...

"Buzzing~"

"Um?"

Mingyou looked at the burning insect and saw that the little guy seemed to have something to say, so she squatted down.

"What's wrong?"

"Buzzing~"

The Burning Bug raised its front legs and wiggled them gently. It also wanted to be put into a Poké Ball. It always stayed in the backpack and sometimes caused trouble for everyone.

And there's another point...

Actually, it had wanted to become Naruto's Pokémon for a long time, but it was a bit withdrawn and didn't dare to mention it. However, it had been taken care of by Naruto these days, which made it more cheerful and even helped it find Beam.

So it also wants to fight to help everyone!

Even if its strength is average, it will work hard!

"Buzz!"

Seeing the determined look in the flamingo's eyes, Mingyou smiled calmly, understanding what it meant. He took out another Poké Ball, and before he could hand it over, the flamingo touched it and was put into it.

Seeing that the Poké Ball had been successfully captured without any movement, Mingyou stood up and murmured, "Since this is also your wish... please guide me."

After finishing her business in the Crown Snowfield, Mingyou found a wishing star from the Great Bronze Elephant that had been defeated by the Sky-Breaking Flame and took it with her.

The three then immediately set off back to Jiqing City. When they passed through Dongning Village, they heard many tourists discussing the matter of Emperor Yan attacking people, but this matter was destined to become an unsolvable mystery.

After a while, they finally boarded the train for their return journey. The three of them got on, and Naruto tried to charge the Max Bracer with the Wishing Star from this timeline. To his surprise, it worked, which meant he could now use Dynamax.

"Done, but the Max Gauntlets can't be used properly in the Galar region of other timelines, so it's still a pretty important piece of experimental data."

He muttered to himself, when Fried, sitting opposite him, glanced at their empty carriage, crossed his arms, and asked, "Now let's discuss the intelligence, about that remnant of the Galactic Team."

"I'd love to know too."

Rico held New Leaf Cat, her face full of curiosity, while Talebagos was still asleep.

Mingyou lowered the hand wearing the Max Bracers, took a deep breath, and to be honest, if Peony hadn't told him that Bai Leia and Zhenxing were connected, he would never have thought of Team Galactic.

After all, Zhenxing had some connection with him; he was the one who was defeated and sent there... but too much time had passed, and he didn't know how the other party was doing now, nor could he possibly find out.

According to what we first learned from Cynthia, Team Galactic summoned the Mythical Pokémon Dialga and Palkia at Mt. Coronet, but they were eventually stopped by her, Ash, and the Interpol.

The leader of Team Galactic was caught up in the power of the Time God and disappeared, while the executives all escaped and were wanted by the Interpol Police, but they were still secretly collecting the Sinnoh Grandmaster's tablets in an attempt to make a comeback.

His conflict with the other party involved the Earth Stone Tablet and the Emerald Stone Tablet. He also learned that Team Galactic had acquired a number of stone tablets. However, after he defeated Zhenxing and was arrested by the Interpol, the matter was dropped.

However, even considering the Icicle Slab and Dragon Slab obtained from Santa Claus and the underwater ruins, Team Galactic can only collect a maximum of 14 slabs, making it impossible to collect them all. But these slabs aren't just decorations...

Considering the connection between Zhenxing and Bai Leiya, although it's unclear when it started, the fact that Taijing energy possesses the power to travel through time and space means that Team Galactic must already know about this, since their goal is to use the Time God to create a new world.

Since mythical Pokémon are uncontrollable, it is entirely possible to choose to use Taleborg's power to influence spacetime as a fallback option!

"Although this is just my guess, if it comes true, those stone tablets in their hands are the biggest threat, even more so than the effects of spacetime chaos!"

Mingyou spoke in a deep voice, even complaining a little about why the Great Lord Shen'ao didn't take back these stone tablets. Although the manor wouldn't have developed so quickly if he had, it would have saved a lot of trouble.

If he could, he really would like to meet Grandmaster Sinnoh, although it's unlikely...

After listening to him finish speaking, Riko took out her phone and used Rotom to search for information about Mythic Pokémon. Freed, on the other hand, looked rather serious. He didn't know what the Slate was, but the fact that Team Galactic could use Mythic Pokémon as objects of exploitation showed that Team Galactic was a bunch of lunatics.

Then he couldn't help but sigh, "Your world is truly plagued by disasters..."

"It's alright, at least I don't feel much."

Mingyou smiled. She was used to it. The most urgent thing now was to go to Shuizhou Town... no, she should say to follow Bai Leiya to find Talebagos.

They were in Waterboat Town, so they must have wanted to leave by boat. That would be perfect, so they could ride Fried's spaceship and follow in the sky, with Bai Leiya leading the way.

At this moment, Riko put down her phone, Rotom. Now that she knew what Mythic Pokémon were, her expression turned worried: "In that case, wouldn't it be better to call Officer Jenny and the others?"

"This isn't something where the more people the better. I have a few companions who aren't here, including two champion-level trainers!"

The trainer that Mingyou was referring to was Xiaoqing and Nemo. Both of them were trainers who defeated the Elite Four and Yeji to obtain the Champion title. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call them the Padia Champions.

Hearing this, Rico was filled with envy. Champion-level trainers... she had only met a few, but she was very clear about their strength, and she hoped that one day she could become one of them.

Fried finally realized that these people had come prepared, and although Mingyou hadn't said it, to him, the strength and awareness that the other party had shown so far were among the best he had ever seen in trainers.

And what they said is true. Such a dangerous enemy, even involving other dimensions, cannot be dealt with by sheer numbers. What is needed most is high-end combat power, the kind that can influence the situation...

Thump! Thump! Thump! (Message tone)

To avoid accidentally ignoring the message this time, Mingyou changed all message notification sounds to this one.

Hearing that a message had arrived, he took out his phone and glanced at it; it was from Peony.

"Big Milk Tank and I have already set off by ship to the Carlos region, but it seems she plans to disembark midway."

"You're setting off already? Where did you get the money and identification to take a cruise?"

"We offer visa-free access worldwide."

"You're smuggling yourself in, aren't you!"

"So you've been waiting in Waterboat Town for so many days, just for this opportunity. So when can you come over? Xiaoqing and Nemo both trust Milk Tank quite a bit, and I'm a little worried..."

"There's no way to get there for now. Keep your location services on and try not to let Bai Leiya find out."

"Don't worry, leave it to Bubu!"

After ending the chat, Mingyou sighed softly and told the two people in front of her about it, then said, "We have to hurry. They will disembark midway, and no one knows if they will lose their GPS signal later."

"Okay, let's set off tonight after we get back!"

As they rode the train back, at the Crown Temple, Keldeo, panting heavily and covered in wounds, was constantly bombarded by Zacian's attacks. It wasn't that it didn't want to dodge, but that it simply couldn't avoid them.

Watching the trial, the Crowned Queen nodded with her hands behind her back: "Not bad. That guy has already left the Crown Snowfield. He seems to have discovered some very important clue, so if you want to help, you'd better hurry."

"Kail..."

Keldeo knew that the other party was referring to Mingyou, but even so, it would always remember Mingyou's words. It would keep its emotions in check, not be impatient, and remember Zacian's attack methods. To pass this trial, it must strengthen its belief.

So it launched another attack on Zacian. Reshiram watched calmly. Although he knew that Naruyu had left, the White Dragon Mark was still in the other party's hands, so there was no need to worry too much.

Now it is more concerned about whether Keldeo can successfully pass the Sword King's trial and become proficient in using the new ability of the Azure Flame Holy Sword without having to borrow its own power.

This is really something to look forward to...

Meanwhile, on the other side, at the dock of the bay town of Mizuki in the eastern part of the Galar region, a cruise ship that had departed from Suicune City in the Unova region and was on a world tour made a brief stop before setting sail again.

This time, the destination is the city of Biyi in the Carlos region. It will be a week-long sea voyage to reach the destination. The short stop in Waterboat Town is not only to receive new guests, but also to replenish the ship's living supplies and fresh food.

Inside the ship's hold, Peony peeked out from a box full of cilantro and scallions, looking somewhat disheveled. After putting on her glasses, she sniffed the surrounding smells and began to complain, "I hate cilantro..."

"That's why you're not growing tall. Being a picky eater isn't good. You have to eat a variety of foods to get a balanced diet."

As he spoke, Pipa poked his head out of another box full of seafood, and then the others followed suit, crawling out of boxes filled with ingredients.

Nemo looked excited, completely unconcerned about the vegetable leaves stuck to her body. Xiaoqing sighed softly; she wanted to take a shower, feeling so uncomfortable like this.

They had been in this time and space for several months and couldn't even spend their money. If it weren't for Peony helping them adjust their balance, they would all have had to eat wild fruit.

Bai Leiya maintained her smile, seemingly unconcerned about her image, just like Nemo. After leaving the box, she said with a smile, "If you want to go back, this is the only way, but it will be soon."

"Teacher, can you really find that Pokémon called Tarabago?"

Piper finally raised his questions, after all, he had been led by the nose by the other party from beginning to end.

Bai Leiya patted the vegetable leaves off her clothes, and the earrings with the same crystal pattern as hers flashed. She then smiled and replied, "Don't worry, of course I have my own methods. Just follow me, and I will never hurt you."

"..."
