Pokémon: Starting as a Farmer Instead of a Trainer

Chapter 409 Hitching the Crowned King's Horse Back (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

In the ultimate space, turbulent currents powerful enough to tear living beings apart instantly surged forth, accompanied by red lightning-shaped energy spheres that exuded a destructive aura; no one knew the consequences of touching them.

Talebagos awoke from his sleep and instinctively activated his Crystal Armor, using Crystal Energy to isolate the harmful substances in the Ultimate Space, so that the turbulent currents would have no effect on him.

"Can the Taijing shell be used like this?"

Mingyou was also learning this for the first time. He had originally planned to have Reshiram use the blue flames to protect him, but he didn't expect that the turbulence in the ultimate space would blow the blue flames away in an instant, and the flames could not be condensed at all. This was a small mistake on his part.

To fight in Ultimate Space, one must become a part of it, that is, be tainted by the Ultimate Aura, so as not to be affected.

But this thing is like nuclear radiation; once you get infected, the consequences are something you can never get rid of for the rest of your life. Such people will be called "Falls," possessing the constitution to attract Ultra Beasts.

Mingyou gently placed Lillie on Latias's back. He originally intended to return immediately after rescuing her. As long as Talebagos was by his side, they could definitely return; it would only be a matter of a month or two at most.

But now that Latias has Mega Evolved, it can reach speeds exceeding the speed of light from the start by taking advantage of the inescapable turbulence in Ultra Space. It's practically a Delta Acceleration Synchro, so... he's going to catch that guy who's running away on a rocket!

"Waaah!"

Right on my mind!

Latias felt a continuous surge of power emanating from within him. Previously, his opponent had the home-field advantage, while he was being carried along by the spatial turbulence, which caused the distance between them to widen.

But now the Ultimate Space is its home turf. Turbulence can no longer restrain it, but will become its propulsion. Anyone who dares to hurt its friends will be kicked to pieces!

Hearing this, Mingyou felt a chill run down her spine and smacked it on the head in annoyance: "Who taught you all this stuff? That Danyu? I'm going to find her and discuss how to swallow a gas bomb whole when she's on vacation!"

"Waaah~"

Latias did not answer, but instantly accelerated and rushed forward, its mental power always locked on the Ironfire Kaguya.

Rush!

A dazzling light, invisible to the naked eye, ripped through space. Protected by its crystal armor, Latias charged forward recklessly, startling even Necrozma who was passing by.

Tetsuji's body was gradually failing. Although he could no longer see Naruto behind him, probably swept away by the spatial turbulence, if he didn't find a spacetime tunnel as soon as possible, he would also be swept away by the turbulence due to exhaustion in ten minutes at most.

Perhaps it was truly fate that brought them together. On Tekka Kaguya's path, a brand new spacetime rift was forming. Though its destination was unknown, the opportunity was fleeting, and she had to rush in with the turbulent currents.

"Ha ha!"

Tetsuji finally burst into laughter. There's always a way out. With Tetsuka Kaguya's abilities, charging in with him would be as easy as a cow grazing. It's just a pity that Naruto is already dead.

He smiled and shook his head, but just then, he heard a calm voice from a man he never wanted to hear again in his life.

"I'll count to three, and the rockets in front must pull over and stop immediately, or we will take enforcement measures."

"One~"

Hearing that the other party had started counting, Tetsuji looked terrified, as if he had seen a ghost. He turned around to look, but a dragon's wave had already pierced through the Taijing armor and accurately hit Tetsuji's huge body. The violent impact of the explosion almost threw him away. Tetsuji raised his head with a disheveled look on his face.

"What about two and three!"

"If you don't know those things, all you need to remember is to live on."

As Mingyou spoke calmly, he rode Latias past Tetsuka Kaguya and overtook her before the finish line, successfully rushing into the spacetime rift ahead.

Kaguya Tekka, whose bottom thrusters were damaged by the Dragon Pulse, also lost her balance and was swept away by the turbulence along with Tetsuji, falling into the space-time rift ahead...

A chill swept over them, and the swirling snowflakes covered the vast white expanse with another layer of down. On the other side of the time-space tunnel, the snow veiled the opening that had torn through space with a mysterious veil.

Tetsuka fell heavily onto the snow, her heavy body sinking into it. It was hard to imagine how thick the snow was. Tetsuji, who had been knocked unconscious by the turbulent current, also fell on top of it.

The intense cold air made Latias feel unwell, and its Mega Evolution was instantly canceled. Naruto, dressed in tropical casual wear, was even worse off, clinging tightly to Latias and shivering.

"It's so cold!!!"

"Waaah..."

I'm freezing to death, what kind of place is this...

The Talebages can only defend against attacks, but not against low temperatures, and such temperatures also make it sleepy. Maybe... it should start hibernating early?

"Hey! Don't sleep, you won't wake up!"

Mingyou shook the Talebagos, which had returned to its normal form, with all her might, but in the sub-zero temperatures of over forty degrees below zero, the turtle couldn't do anything.

Fortunately, Reshiram was still on his body. The blue flames surged up, and the high temperature instantly dispelled the cold, which prevented them from freezing to death.

Upon arriving at the snowy area below, Naruyu took a short rest. Latias, who had transformed into the form of a human cub, was kicking Tetsuji's golden egg not far away. Naruyu wanted to stop her, but after thinking about it, she decided to let her be, since it wasn't her.

"As expected, there's no signal... With such heavy snow, the time portal we came through has closed. I have no idea where we are."

Mingyou put down her phone and sighed helplessly. All she knew was that this was definitely not Alola. It was only evening in Alola, but it should be early morning here. It wasn't a time travel, so the timelines were the same, and only a few tens of minutes had passed.

"Um……"

With a soft groan, the unconscious Lillie slowly opened her eyes, looked at the surrounding scenery, her beautiful green eyes filled with confusion, and sat up.

"here it is……"

"Don't you remember?"

Mingyou turned her head to look at her.

Lillie pondered for a moment, then shook her head. Her last conscious thought was of the laboratory lights being turned off, and she had absolutely no recollection of being seduced and captured by the Pheromosa.

Upon seeing her awake, the exhilarated Latias immediately ran over and hugged her tightly.

After a moment, Lillie looked apologetic after learning what had happened. She had caused everyone so much trouble and had even made Naruto risk his life to save her.

"As long as the result is good, that's all that matters. If you really want to express your gratitude, go to Sheradias. I didn't really do anything."

Mingyou smiled and said, "Isn't saving a friend a matter of course? But now that Lillie has woken up, it's about time we can leave this place."

He patted his pants, stood up, and was about to wake up Talebagos in his backpack when Latias suddenly sensed something and quickly signaled him to be careful, something... was approaching!

"Um?"

Mingyou raised an eyebrow and looked at the dark, snow-covered ground under the night sky, silent and profound.

"Neigh!"

A screech pierced through the vast snow, the sound penetrating the soul, as if it could instantly cause the soul to leave the body. Although they did not sense any gaze, they could clearly feel that something was watching them.

Lillie crossed her delicate hands over her chest, instinctively hiding behind Mingyou, her expression tense. She pointed to a spot and said in a fearful voice, "There... there... there's a ghost..."

"..."

Mingyou looked in the direction she pointed and saw a completely black figure emerge from the snow. Its body had blue mane and a light blue tail, and its limbs were covered with mist like a soul. It was slowly approaching this place in a ghostly manner.

[Greymon: A horse-shaped Pokémon that prefers solitude and quiet environments. Due to its love of nocturnal activity, its vision has severely deteriorated. It will not hesitate to kick the rear end of anything that trespasses on its territory. To gain its favor, conquer it with your strength!]

Seeing the information appear in her mind, Mingyou chuckled softly and muttered to herself, "Lingyou Horse... then I roughly know where this place is!"

"Huh?"

Seeing the smile on his lips, Lillie was slightly taken aback. Wasn't this person afraid of ghosts?

Mingyou smiled and shook her head, took out a turnip from her backpack, strolled over, and tossed it over. Although Lingyouma liked carrots, perhaps she could use a turnip to entice her.

Looking at the cabbage in front of it, Lingyouma's sense of smell and hearing were very sensitive. As soon as Mingyou took out the cabbage, it smelled the fragrance of thistle flowers, which was the unique scent of the Radiant Flower of the Crown of Buds.

Smelling the scent of the Crested King, the Spirit Horse raised its head and looked in the direction of Mingyou... and the next second, spiritual energy suddenly gathered, and the dark environment made its power even stronger, transforming into a shadow ball that shot straight out!

"Do you think I ate the cabbage?"

Mingyou chuckled. He sensed sadness and anger from the spiritual power emanating from the Spirit Horse, and deduced from this that since he couldn't contact the Crane King right now, he should defeat him first and then take back the horse that Turnip had thrown away, so he wouldn't have to keep staring at Milton every day wanting to ride it.

"Latias!"

"Waaah!"

No, I won't fight a ghost!

Latias was so frightened by the Grimmar that it fainted. With no other option, Mingyou had to throw out a Poké Ball and let the hardworking Keldeo enter the field.

"Kail!"

As Keldeo stepped onto the snow, feeling the familiar surroundings, a slight surprise appeared on its face. In that brief moment of distraction, the Shadow Ball struck it, and the explosive spiritual energy blasted it away.

Seeing this, Mingyou smiled and reminded him, "Don't get distracted. This opponent is a bit stronger, so remember not to go too far."

"Kail!"

Let's start over, the last one doesn't count!

Keldeo immediately regrouped and looked at the Spirit Horse surrounded by spiritual energy in front of him. A smile couldn't help but appear on his face. If the opponent had a home-field advantage, then so did he.

Because this place, in a sense, is also its hometown, although it is not the same time and space, but the same location—the Crown Snowfield!
