Pokémon: Starting as a Farmer Instead of a Trainer

Chapter 411 Senior Xiao Zhao's Friendly Reminder: Don't Randomly Set Up Flags (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

After knocking out all the other members of the Marocmon Group, Mingyou discussed many details of his plan with the Team Rocket trio. He believed that with their abilities, they could easily infiltrate the group.

"Don't worry, no one else will know you're undercover agents. Whether the mission succeeds or not, you'll still get your reward."

"...Done!"

How could the Team Rocket trio not trust Naruto? After all, they had worked under him before, and familiarity breeds contempt. Old friends naturally cooperate well, and they were just gathering information.

Mingyou nodded in satisfaction and said, "Then you should leave quietly later. If you run into the Interpol police, none of you will escape."

"Roger that, boss!"

"Are you sure everything's okay?"

Seeing that he let the Rockets trio go, Mizuki couldn't help but feel worried, especially since there were still these people left.

Mingyou, on the other hand, seemed indifferent and replied, "Let the international police handle it. These guys have been under surveillance for a long time. Even if they manage to leave Ether Paradise today, they will be caught by the international police lying in ambush at sea. There's no way they can escape."

On his way back, he saw suspicious ships moving back and forth along the edge of the sea area that Ether Paradise could observe, and Lila kept darting onto the deck, making it hard not to recognize them.

After finishing things here, Mingyou breathed a slight sigh of relief. Although he didn't know why Loz was targeting him, he wasn't really afraid of the mere Marocmont Group. However, it was still better to gather some intelligence in advance.

At this moment, Lusamine came over with the children. She was so excited that she couldn't think of any words to thank Mingyou. If he offered to give her Ether Paradise right now, she probably would have agreed.

Having lost and experienced so much, nothing is more important to Lusamine than her children. As a mother, she is willing to give up everything for Lillie and Gladio.

"No need for thanks..."

Mingyou waved his hand, clearly tired of hearing it all, and dealing with the people from the Marocmont Group was the most pressing matter.

He discussed his plan with Lusamine and asked her not to mention it was related to him, otherwise Lila would get angry again. As for the rest of the Ultra Beasts, he left it to Lusamine to handle.

"Leave it to me!"

As the chairperson of the Ether Foundation, Rosamund Pryde naturally has a lot to say about this.

There's no need to worry about those guys from the Marocmont Group exposing Mingyou. The plan to arrest him was definitely added at the last minute. If they really investigate, it could involve a lot of things...

"Then I'll go first..."

Just as Lusamine was preparing to use these members of the Marocmon Group to lure the Interpol police, she suddenly caught a glimpse of something out of the corner of her eye. She saw that inside Mingyou's backpack, Talebagos was sticking his head out, holding a photo in his mouth, as if he wanted to express something.

She reached out and took it. Only then did Mingyou realize what was happening. Her pupils contracted, and she broke out in a cold sweat, but it was too late. After seeing the contents of the photo, Lusamine's eyes clearly underwent a subtle change.

"This photo..."

"I didn't steal it!"

Mingyou quickly explained, but something still seemed off: a Pokémon running around at night and stealing other people's photos?

Lusamine's expression was somewhat complicated. If it were an ordinary person who dared to steal her photo, they would have thrown it into the sea to feed Magikarp long ago, but as for Naruyu... she was more willing to believe the other party's explanation.

"..."

Mingyou was on the verge of tears. He could feel the disbelieving looks from Mizuki and Lillie, as well as Gladion's eyes that seemed to want to kill him.

But what exactly is Talebagos doing? Didn't they agree to secretly return it that night...?

He took the turtle out of his backpack. Although it was extremely inconspicuous, everyone was actually quite curious about what kind of Pokémon it was, as it couldn't be found in the Pokédex.

"Bang~"

Talebagos called out softly. It had originally planned to return the photo that night, but after seeing how the family looked before and recalling the missing person in the photo, it finally understood why the older sister had cried while looking at the photo last night.

But the dead cannot be brought back to life, and Dr. Orin's ability to rewrite fate is impossible to repeat. So the only thing it can do is allow the family to reunite briefly and do what they want to do.

That's right!

It means bringing the other person over from before Dr. Moen passed away!

"Is this all you're planning...?"

Mingyou sighed softly and chuckled helplessly. If he had such a plan, he should have told him earlier. He was genuinely frightened just now.

So he didn't hide anything and told everyone about Talebagos's abilities. For a moment, everyone was incredulous. Could it really be possible to bring people from the past into the present?

"Bang!"

of course can!

The Talebagos, held in Mingyou's hands, once again radiated a dazzling aura, transforming into a crystal form amidst a burst of light.

"So beautiful..."

Lillie and Mizuki were both drawn to the radiance of the crystal, and under the influence of Talebagos's power, a mist enveloped the surroundings. Everyone watched the scene before them with tension, but when the mist dissipated, the surrounding scenery returned to normal, as if nothing had happened.

"???"

Mingyou typed out several question marks. What's going on?

"Plop..."

Talebagos shook its head. It was looking at the photo of Moen shaking people; it couldn't possibly fail, and it didn't feel any interference.

Seeing the summoning fail, Lusamine, who had just begun to have a glimmer of hope, shook her head with a wry smile. Anyway, more than ten years had passed like this, so even if she really couldn't see Moen, it wouldn't matter.

But Mingyou didn't think so. He recalled what Chiri had said on the Galaxy Spaceship that day: people cannot change their fate through the Talebagas, but can only go to a future and past that do not exist. And that was indeed the case.

So there's only one possibility left...

"That means Dr. Moen is still alive, somewhere in this world!"

"What did you say?!"

Upon hearing this, Lusamine was shocked. Her heart, which had just calmed down, was rekindled, and that sliver of hope, which might not even exist, was rekindled.

Mingyou then directly explained the principle of Taijing energy travel to the other party. Unless Dr. Moen is still alive on this timeline, Tailebagos' ability cannot malfunction.

Furthermore, considering that after he and Lillie fell into the Ultimate Space, they successfully escaped to the Galar region through a time portal, it's possible that Moen was also taken somewhere by a time portal.

"Then why doesn't he contact us!"

"Perhaps it's amnesia? The Ultimate Space Turbulence is quite terrifying; it's extremely harmful to the human body. If someone drifts for too long and loses consciousness before falling into the spacetime rift, then the possibility of amnesia is very high!"

"..."

Lusamine gradually began to believe, after all, the miracle was right here. She looked at Mingyou and Lillie, then slowly closed her eyes. When she opened them again, her entire aura had completely changed.

She made a decision: to search for Moen all over the world!

Seeing that she had made up her mind, Mingyou nodded gently: "Trust in the bonds between family members!"

The plan to find Moen was decided. Mingyou naturally wouldn't care about the Ether Foundation's future operations, but he would help and would definitely let them know if there was any news.

As for the photos, that was that. Rosamund didn't make a fuss about it. Instead, she left a message saying that if the other party really wanted her photos, they could exchange them for something else... like a swimsuit or a bathrobe? This attempt to amuse the child scared Naruyu away.

The next morning, the Interpol successfully took the bait, arrived at Ether Park, and took the Marocmon Group members away. Despite being well-prepared, they did nothing and ended the job, leading Lila to suspect that Mingyou was up to something again...

Time flies, and before you know it, Mingyou has been in Alola until the next weekend. During this time, Mizuki, Lillie, and their friends in Alola take him around all day to experience the unique local customs of Alola compared to other regions.

However, the farewell eventually came, and Mingyou still had many things to do.

On the last day, everyone came to the airport to see him off. Even Professor Kukui and the four Alola Island Kings came. It was a very grand occasion. They even gave him a set of Z-Crystals with eighteen different attributes as a local specialty to take back to his hometown.

Only Lillie seemed a little regretful, saying, "Mother suddenly had something to do and can't come. As for my brother, he said to wait for you; he'll win back what he lost."

"Then let him bring it on. But are you traveling as a family?"

"Um!"

Lillie nodded gently. Her mother had already prepared the ship and was about to embark on a journey around the world. As for the work of the Ether Foundation, it would be handled by professionals for a period of time.

Having learned the situation, all that's left is to pray that they can successfully find Dr. Moen...

After saying goodbye to everyone, Mingyou boarded a plane and left. He found the short trip to Alola quite interesting, whether it was the Kabukicho run by Pokémon or experiencing the Ultra Space Jump Ride. His only regret was that Xiaozhao didn't come.

"It seems like next time we should try to choose a weekend time slot!"

When he returned to Beishang Township, it was Monday afternoon and school was still in session. So he took Ponpo to school first. He had brought back so many local specialties from Alora that he asked Ponpo to carry them.

The class was held on the playground. Xiao Zhao called over his Slowbro and Zoroark to help teach the students how to understand the feelings of Pokémon from their actions. Calyrex was also there at the moment, obviously dragged over by Xiao Zhao to play.

At this moment, Xiao Zhao looked at the students gently and smiled: "Alright, does anyone know why our usually gentle Slowbro teacher suddenly attacked Zoroark teacher with a Shell Weapon?"

"Me! Me! Me!"

Immediately, students raised their hands to answer the questions.

Mingyou watched with a smile on his face from the side of the playground. In fact, he had already seen it. It was Calyrex using its mental powers to assist the two Pokémon and help them control their emotional changes.

However, my answer was clearly beyond the scope of the question. The question only required answering the surface reason why two Pokémon were arguing, and then how a trainer should understand their emotions and mediate the conflict.

Although they were only taught for a short period of time, these children were learning very seriously about trainers and Pokémon, and were unwilling to give up this opportunity.

After watching for a while, Mingyou turned her attention to Calyrex, took out the Poké Ball she had prepared in her pocket, and gently tossed it towards Calyrex.

"Um?"

Calyrex seemed to notice something and looked warily at the Poké Ball that had rolled onto it, but was then brought back to its senses by Xiao Zhao's voice and continued its underhanded operation. Behind it, a dark shadow appeared.

"!!!"

There's a murderous aura about him!

The crested king turned its head sharply, but suddenly a foot kicked it in the buttocks, almost knocking its soul out of its body. Its body was also sent flying several meters away due to the impact.

As Lingyouma started kicking Calycerin's butt, all the students instantly turned into onlookers. Xiaozhao also noticed Mingyou smirking not far away. She puffed out her cheeks, put on a fierce yet cute expression, and shouted, "Class is in session, don't cause trouble!"

"It's time to get out of school."

"Huh? I didn't notice..."

Xiao Zhao glanced at the time; exactly half a minute had passed. Slightly exasperated, she then called out to the students who were watching the commotion, "Today's homework is to analyze the emotions of Lingyouma Baoshi and Leirenwang, to deduce the reasons, and to devise a plan to make them reconcile. If my answer satisfies me, tomorrow there will be a local specialty gift that Mingyou-sensei brought back from Alola~"

"Yay! The little gift is mine!"

Seeing the students squatting next to the Crowned Queen watching the commotion, Mingyou walked over with a smile, her gaze landing on Xiaozhao: "You're really something."

"It's easy to soothe a child, but didn't you tell me you were coming back? By the way, isn't your face a bit tanned? Did you go to the beach?"

As dusk fell and the evening glow appeared, Xiao Zhao gently rubbed Ming You's face with her slender little hand. The afterglow of the setting sun shone through the top of Ghost Mountain, illuminating the two of them. Looking at Xiao Zhao's face, which was made even more charming by the sunset, Ming You couldn't help but sigh softly.

"Wow, so beautiful, Xiaozhao-senpai~"

"Huh?"

Xiao Zhao was slightly lost in thought, the sunset's glow obscuring the blush on her face. She pinched Mingyou's cheek hard, saying resentfully, "There's a child here; be more serious in this kind of situation!"

"Am I... am I being inappropriate in any way?"

Mingyou looked completely bewildered; it was just the truth.

However, now that the World Championship has been won in its first battle, we need to work even harder in the upcoming matches and wait for the stage that belongs to the strongest champion in six months.

As for what comes after that...

His thoughts paused, and the sunset also subtly reflected a change in his face. He pursed his lips, smiled, and said, "Although it feels a bit early to say this, after we win the World Championship, you can... and we can consider that..."

Before he could finish speaking, Xiao Zhao's tone suddenly became more serious, and she grabbed his hand tightly: "Pull it out now! Haven't you ever seen TV? You can't plant a flag like that!"

"All right……"

Mingyou sighed softly, a hint of regret in her voice.

But at this moment, Xiao Zhao raised her hands, wrapped them around his neck, parted her lips slightly, and smiled as she said, "Whatever you want to do, I'm already mentally prepared. After all, I'm your senior~."

The two were making love in the twilight, completely unaware that the students who were watching the Queen of the Crimson Crest being beaten were now focused on them... as if they had discovered an even better spectacle to watch!
