Pokémon: Starting as a Farmer Instead of a Trainer

Chapter 426 Mingyou: "How come I didn't know Meloetta was so amazing!" (Seeking monthly votes)

Upon hearing that Meloetta would be holding her first concert in Spiketown in collaboration with Nie Zi's band, Leon was completely stunned. Really? The legendary Meloetta would be coming to the Galar region?

Not only Dan Di, but even Xiao You and Mary were stunned and looked at Nie Zi.

Mingyou smiled calmly and explained, "Of course, I'm Meloetta's agent, and I'm in charge of all her schedule arrangements."

Before he could finish speaking, Xiaoyou grabbed his shoulder and shook him violently, exclaiming, "Hey! I've never heard you mention this before!"

Since I only became a manager yesterday... I definitely can't say things like that, right?

Actually, Mingyou only learned about this from Xiaozhao and has kept it in mind ever since. Unfortunately, she has been too busy to deal with it until yesterday when she realized that she could take advantage of this opportunity to promote Spike Town and arrange the concert at the same time.

He gently pushed Xiaoyou away, coughed lightly, and replied, "Haven't you heard from Kirullian that they get along very well?"

"Huh?!"

"But why are you all so surprised? It's just a concert."

"Of course we're surprised! Lady Meloetta, the songstress, is currently the most popular music idol across the entire internet... no, we should say the whole world!"

"M-Master? Is he really that powerful?"

Seeing Xiaoyou's excited expression, Mingyou was a little startled. The Meloetta band was created by the Lacecrown for the game's soundtrack.

However, Meloeta is now basically managing things himself, with Zhenyifa and Milton being part of it, but he hasn't been involved in the specifics of its development.

He only knew that it seemed to be incredibly popular online, especially on Pokemon TV, the video platform with the most users. The account was managed by Kirlia, but he never expected it to be this popular. No wonder Meloetta kept grumbling about wanting to hold a concert, but was too embarrassed to keep asking him for help...

Dante, also a fan, nodded slightly and said, "I didn't expect you to be Meloetta's manager. Um... could you please get me an autograph?"

"Me too!"

Xiao You pulled a notebook out of her bag and handed it to them. Even Mary pulled a pink handkerchief out of her bag and pleaded softly, "Please, me too..."

"???"

Mingyou was dumbfounded.

What's wrong with this world?!

Shouldn't he be the most prestigious person in the manor?

As a result, without his knowledge, he was continuously demoted to a lowly rank, and in front of the world-class diva Meloeta, this rich dog was only fit to be a lackey and errand boy.

Although children develop very quickly these days, that child has grown into a big shot who even he dares not look directly at in such a short time. So how fast must he have developed? It's like he's been on a rocket!

Who exactly is the main character?

Naruto was devastated, but after being freed from her mission to protect the underwater ruins, Meloetta regained her freedom and found her own dream.

He was quite pleased about that.

After regaining her composure, Mingyou smiled calmly: "Let's find a place to discuss the concert first. It said that everything is up to me, and as it's the first concert, there can't be any surprises in this regard."

"That's right!"

Nie Zike took this performance very seriously. As a singer-songwriter, he learned a lot from Meloetta's moving melody. Even he... was a fan of hers.

After sending the shouting team away, the group went to the maid café to start their discussion. As for why they chose this place, don't ask, nobody knows.

Dante also joined in the fun. Although he was the world champion, he was very approachable and acted like a natural friend. Moreover, the concert was being held in the Galar region, so it was normal for him, as the champion, to participate in the discussion.

Although he really wanted to hold the concert in the two big cities of Miyamon or Kensei, which would definitely bring in a lot of visitors, everything was up to his manager, Mingyou.

"Then let's decide on this. It will be in the middle or late part of next month. A month and a half of preparation time is enough. I will bring them over for rehearsals in advance, and we can start promoting them in early July."

Mingyou explained the results of the discussion. This time arrangement was quite good. It could be done before the end of the World Championship season, and it was also during the summer vacation, so Xiaozhao could come and play together.

None of the participants had any objections; there was enough time to prepare, and the concert could also help generate buzz for the World Championship in advance, since this year's Masters tournament was being held in the Galar region.

"Then it's settled!"

Dan crossed his arms, full of anticipation.

As a fan, he will definitely take responsibility for making all the arrangements to ensure that no accidents happen during the concert!

Xiaoyou and Mary were equally excited to see Meloeta sing in person... just imagine that feeling in your mind.

Ha~ I've arrived in heaven~

"Is this really necessary...? It's just listening to music, but it's like you're having a high while ice skating? Although Meloeta's singing is indeed very addictive."

Mingyou was inexplicably afraid of these people. He even felt that if people found out Meloetta was his Pokémon, someone might actually smash his windows with a brick. Or they might think their idol had fallen from grace and stab Meloetta when they opened the door one day after hearing the doorbell... It was probably better not to say anything.

With things arranged in this way, Mingyou was also ready to go back to discuss these matters in detail with Meloetta and hear her opinions.

Although this trip to Galar was somewhat unexpected, and it was another clash with the Marocmon Group, the next time... it will be the whole family involved. If the Marocmon Group wants to continue causing trouble, he wouldn't mind using Milton to demolish their building!

I spent another day in Gongmen City.

Nie Zi has already led the members of the Shout Team back to Spike Town, while Dan Di has been challenged again and is heading to the Johto region to face the Dodo Bird in an away game.

So, Mingyou spent the whole day with Xiaoyou in Gongmen City, buying a lot of things, mostly gifts for Xiaozhao, their own Pokémon, and the students at school. It's not easy to travel all this way, so they definitely had to bring back some souvenirs.

Mary was also reluctant to be invited by Xiaoyou, but compared to the concert, she had something more important to consider: the promise she made to Mingyou at the maid café a few days ago.

This is too difficult...

While Mingyou was shopping with them, he was also helping Milton and Kirlia get familiar with the environment of Gate City. Both Pokémon are experts in technology, and in such a technologically advanced city, it was like home ground for them.

This was preparation for the battle with the Marocmon Group. He learned from Mary that Olive had given them information about him and his combat records, which meant that these people had definitely been investigating him all along. So he had to make some counterattacks. He couldn't stay on the defensive forever. The only person who could put him on the defensive was Xiao Zhao!

(Xiao Zhao: "Are you ever going to stop?")

"But the Loz Building is really tall. As long as you are on the streets of Gongmen City, no matter where you are, you can see this building as long as you look up."

Mingyou gazed at the landmark building in the distance, which resembled a towering tower, then looked away and prepared to leave Gongmen City for the airport located in the suburbs.

Xiaoyou and Mary waved goodbye to him at the subway entrance: "Bring Meloetta along next time! And keep up the good work in the upcoming competition, or I won't forgive you if you lose!"

"Even if we lose, it's none of your business, right? I wouldn't dare say something like 'we'll win'."

Mingyou scratched his head and said goodbye to the two of them along with Ponpo and the others. But he suddenly noticed that Mary was pursing her lips, as if she wanted to say something but was too embarrassed to say it.

"What's wrong?"

"Um……"

After pondering for a long time, as if she had finally come up with a solution, Mary raised her hand, stretched out her fingers, and gently poked her cheek upwards, her lips curving into a slight smile as she was forced to perform.

"A natural smile...that should be it, right?"

"..."

Seeing her adorable actions, everyone was stunned, their eyes wide with surprise, before they remembered that she seemed to have made an agreement with Mingyou, asking for nothing in return, as long as she could smile naturally.

"Hahaha."

Mingyou couldn't help but burst out laughing. Ponpo, who was standing next to her, tried to suppress her laughter and also seized the opportunity to take this precious photo. Kirlia covered her mouth and turned her head away to hide her laughter, while Milerton stood up and pointed at Mary's appearance, laughing loudly.

"……(anger)"

Mary held back her anger, clenching her teeth. "You guys aren't happy about me laughing once?"

But then, Xiaoyou suddenly hugged her tightly, excitedly saying, "Mari-chan is so cute! Can we do it again? Like the one we just did!"

"don't want……"

Mary blushed slightly and refused to do it anymore, but her Morbeco suddenly jumped from her shoulder to her chest, stretched out her little hand, and mischievously did the same thing as before, forcing a smile on her face.

"Hey! Don't do that!"

"Mobe~"

"Hahaha."

Everyone laughed again. Mary hugged Morbeco, looking very shy. Was this a smile? If she practiced more, perhaps she could smile happily like everyone else?

As she thought about these things, a slight smile unconsciously appeared on her lips. However, only Mingyou caught a glimpse of this and couldn't help but smile faintly.

He didn't say anything, but waved to the two of them: "That's settled then. Get the stage ready, and welcome us to the stage next time!"

"Um!"

Watching Mingyou's departing figure, Xiaoyou and Mary both knew that what he was talking about... was not only the concert stage, but also the upcoming stage of the highest-level World Championship Masters Tournament!
