Pokémon: Starting as a Farmer Instead of a Trainer

Chapter 439 Jirachi's Daily Life, Terrifying Aliens (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Let's rewind to last night.

Amidst the elegant and tranquil melody of Meloye Tower, the shimenawa rope that attracts divine protection snaps, and the giant rock splits open completely from the middle, instantly shimmering with starlight.

A purple crystal, hidden within limestone that had been deposited and bound together over countless years, finally appeared, sparkling brilliantly under the moonlight.

Seeing the crystal that suddenly appeared, the story from the children's bedtime story came to life. Meloetta and the others, full of anticipation, burst forth with boundless joy and jumped up excitedly.

It worked!

Jirachi really is in Green Moss City!

"Melo~"

Now, go make a wish!

With Meloeta leading the way, everyone looked at the crystal that was radiating starlight, ready to make their wishes. But just then, the crystal's light transformed into strands of optical fibers, swaying gently in the air.

Then, it shot into the sky like a meteor, flying out with a long trail, cutting through the night sky and leaving the three of them completely dumbfounded.

Why...did it run away?

It was as if someone had snatched Jirachi from their hands, so in order to retrieve Wishing Star, they fought around Green Moss City all night and finally caught the other party near Shallow Cave before dawn.

Perhaps because it was dawn, the meteor's brilliance could no longer be seen, and its radiance gradually faded away.

Transformed into an adorable star-shaped "bun," Jirachi is held in Meloetta's arms, its yellow ribbons unfurling as it opens its eyes. The sleeping Jirachi slowly opens its eyes and is instantly captivated by its cuteness...

This is what happened last night.

After hearing everything, Mingyou slapped her forehead, her body trembling slightly: "This is such a fun thing... we should have been invited to go catch them together! I also want to be like a child... chasing after the stars!"

"Okay, okay, I'll take you to catch sometime~"

Xiao Zhao patted his back gently and affectionately.

"Hmm..."

Ponpo was also helpless. They were in too much of a hurry at the time, and Jirachi seemed to be deliberately trying to get rid of them, running around everywhere. Since they didn't want to hurt the other party with attacks, they could only chase after it to avoid losing it. They really didn't have time to call for help.

Thankfully, I finally managed to bring it home!

With Xiao Zhao's comforting words, Mingyou came to her senses and looked at Jirachi, who was drinking milk from a jar not far away.

He was also quite surprised, never expecting that the shattered boulder contained not a sealed fox demon, but a sleeping Wishing Star. He couldn't tell whether it was good or bad.

And it's even located in the heart of the Green Ridge universe... It feels like something out of a game...

Seemingly sensing his thoughts, Xiao Zhao softly retorted, "Games are games, and reality is reality. The two cannot be equated."

"Huh? Don't underestimate me. I'm a player of Emerald Prison, I know everything about Emerald. There's nothing in that stone at all. The whole thing about triggering the Jirachi capture event... it's all just a rumor with limited information. You won't get anything without using a crafted E-card!"

"What nonsense are you spouting?"

"N-nothing..."

Mingyou felt a wave of embarrassment. Her childhood had been deceived by such rumors for a long time, but just because something doesn't exist in a game doesn't mean it doesn't exist in reality!

"Melo~"

Meloetta was overjoyed. Although it had initially come to make a wish, it completely forgot about it after actually seeing Jirachi. It wasn't entirely because Jirachi was cute that it wanted to be her older sister.

Instead, it reminded me of my own experiences...

It was once the guardian of the underwater ruins, and its freedom was restricted for thousands of years by its so-called mission. Jirachi, as the wishing star, only awakens once every thousand years. If it is only to fulfill other people's wishes, then... isn't that too pitiful?

It doesn't want to see this happen.

At least for the next few days, before the meteor shower arrives, it wanted Jirachi to experience the life of a normal Pokémon, which is why it brought her back and successfully became the child's older sister.

"Kira~"

Jirachi put down the Moo Moo milk jug, gently patted his belly, and said he was very full.

"Melo~"

Is there anything else we want to eat?

Meloetta floated over and asked with concern. Jirachi gently shook its head, then waved its little hand, wanting to go out and play with its sister.

"Melo~"

no problem!

Watching the siblings interact, Mingyou smiled with great satisfaction. Meloetta, who used to be timid and fearful and relied on herself for everything, has now grown into a reliable older sister.

Perhaps it was Meloetta that Jirachi saw first when it opened its eyes, and it felt inexplicably close to her. In terms of personality, it was as innocent and naive as a child. It is possible that it only awakens once every thousand years, which limits its growth in personality and mind.

Therefore, Mingyou could not allow them to run around outside. Neither Meloetta nor Jirachi could show up here at will, otherwise it would definitely cause an unprecedented chaos.

But then again.

It seems like I have more Mythical Pokémon than Legendary Pokémon at home. Is that really okay? And there's another Mythical Pokémon that's just as cute as Meloetta and Jirachi, but why does it have absolutely no presence?

"Daman!"

I, a princess, have absolutely no dignity!

Diancie protested, saying it would definitely try its best. Although its performance against Wallace was the worst in all of Naruto's Pokémon battles to date, it would strive to make a brilliant showing in the next battle and win everyone's attention!

"Kail~"

Not being ashamed is a success.

"Daman!"

What does that mean?

Diancie pouted, looking at Keldeo with a resentful expression. Why does she always mock me? Did I do something to offend you?

Just as it was feeling dissatisfied, a star-shaped figure suddenly appeared in front of it, curiously touching the pink diamonds on its body.

"Kira~"

"Daman..."

Diancie's pink eyes were instantly drawn to Jirachi. Even though the other only cared about the diamonds on her body, she didn't care at all and immediately became excited.

What an adorable little boy!

I can do that too!

Let your older sister give you a hug!

Watching Diancie hug Jirachi tightly, Mingyou thought to herself, "Little boy? It's older than your mother! Who's training whom here?"

The farce came to a brief end.

Jirachi's appearance made the whole family very happy, a privilege unique to children.

Jirachi gets along with everyone, it seems that as long as someone can play with it, that's enough, but it is only Meloetta that it is closest to.

Mingyou could also see why Meloetta wanted to take care of the child, but she didn't point it out.

"Alright, let's go out and have some fun. But don't run around too much today!"

"Melo~"

When everyone goes out together, they all tacitly surround Jirachi, protecting the child and preventing him from being discovered by others.

Although it was a bit crowded, Jirachi, being a child at heart, didn't care at all. Even when she saw something she was curious about or liked, she didn't let Naruyu help her buy it. Instead, after the wishing slip glowed, she used her object transfer ability to deliver the chocolate and bread to her hands and then gave them to Ponpo next to her.

"Kirara~"

"This... costs money."

"Kira?"

"Melo~"

Watching Naruto pay and apologize, Meloetta patiently and seriously taught Kirachi some common sense, telling him that he couldn't take things for free.

"Kira..."

Jirachi nodded as if he understood, but then forgot and teleported a durian from another shop directly over, landing it on Milton's head...

An unprecedented experience with children.

For the first time, Mingyou was surprised to find that taking care of a child was such a difficult thing. He wondered if he could handle it when he had children of his own. He had originally wanted two, but now he probably had to think about it carefully.

However, Xiao Zhao was enjoying herself. She was having a great time with Jirachi because she knew very well that once the meteor shower ended in a few days, Jirachi would fall back into a deep sleep because it would no longer be affected by the comet's approach to Earth.

So she wanted to leave the other person with as many beautiful memories as possible. Perhaps the separation would be quite painful, but the memories would never fade away.

Mingyou knew this too; it was a characteristic of the Jirachi race. But it didn't tell Meloetta and the others about it, at least not for the next few days.

The group continued strolling around the streets with Jirachi. While observing their surroundings, Naruto finally noticed something amiss. Hands in his pockets, he frowned and muttered, "Is this some kind of Clefairy Club party here? Where did all these Clefairies come from?"

"But the view is pretty nice too~"

As she spoke, Xiao Zhao squatted down, reached out and gently stroked Clefairy's soft head. It felt wonderful; Clefairy is just so cute!

Savoring the feel of it, Xiao Zhao got up and followed Mingyou forward, her imagination running wild as she speculated, "Isn't there a rumor that Clefairy is a Pokémon from outer space? Maybe it was attracted by the meteor shower, and perhaps there are even UFOs hidden in the meteor shower."

"This thing has been taken apart countless times, it's not exactly a special toy, is it?"

Mingyou refers to the Iron Poison Moth, which is a UFO-type invasion weapon designed by aliens in the future to monitor humanity's every move in order to invade Earth. He and the Earth-Crawling Wing once took down a captain's machine on the Galaxy Spaceship.

But considering this matter...

"Could there really be aliens?"

Mingyou frowned, feeling a vague unease, but continued to keep up with the main group.

But after they left, Pipi, who had just been patted on the head by Xiaozhao, suddenly changed her demeanor. Her cute face instantly darkened, but she quickly recovered her smile, gently covering her face with her little hands and wriggling around like a lovesick fool.

"Pee~~~"

I really wanted to yell, "Don't touch me like that, you bastard!" but... she's such a cute girl!

But...

Including it, all the Pipi strolling on the street at this moment, with their cold and gloomy gazes, all looked in the direction where Mingyou and the others had left.

"Skin!"

Slaughter them!
