Pokémon: Starting as a Farmer Instead of a Trainer

Chapter 445 It's just a rock, watch me push it back with Milton (Seeking monthly votes)

If Kirachi's wishing ability is used to make a rocket fully prepared for takeoff take off without the need for other operators, there will be no problem at all.

Losing a rocket to stop an alien invasion fleet is definitely a worthwhile trade, so Mikkel agreed to the plan without hesitation, leaving the rest to him.

"Just go for it!"

"Leave it to me!"

Mingyou planned to head to the rocket launch center immediately. Although he had never experienced it before, he had personally walked through dangerous places like spacetime rifts, so the universe was something he could easily conquer.

Seeing that he was going to space himself, Xiao Zhao, holding Meloetta who was recovering from her injuries, smiled and said with a sparkling eye, "You must come back!"

"I still have so many things to do, I can't bear to just wander in space like this."

Mingyou chuckled in response, then looked at Meloetta and said, "And you too, focus on recovering from your injuries. I'll be back with Jirachi soon, so don't worry too much."

"Melo..."

Meloetta believed Naruyu's words without reservation, but when it looked at Jirachi, its eyes were full of surprise.

It never expected that this naive child would actually take the initiative to end the incident...

"Kira!"

Jirachi didn't want to keep causing trouble for everyone. Meloetta was injured by aliens while saving it, and it didn't want to see that happen again. So... before it went into a deep sleep, it had to finish what it needed to do!

"Melo?"

A deep sleep?

Meloetta, the only one kept in the dark, was unaware that Jirachi only awakens briefly for a few days every thousand years before falling back into slumber. However, at this critical juncture, it was best not to reveal it.

Let's go!

"Kira!"

Watching Naruto and Jirachi ride away on Milton, Meloetta felt a mix of emotions, sensing that everyone was hiding something from her.

The Green Ridge Universe Center is still in a state of chaos. Although the staff have all turned back to their original forms from Pipi, they are still unable to quickly accept reality due to the time they have lost.

Milton headed straight for the rocket launch center, while Mingyou took out his pen and wrote down his wish to become an astronaut and ride a rocket into space on a wishing paper at the end of the Kirachi star. This wish made his grandparents very happy.

The moment after writing down the wish, accompanied by a dazzling light, Jirachi's wishing slip changed from blue-green to orange-red, and the writing on it disappeared. At that moment, Naruto suddenly put on a spacesuit with Jirachi's pattern, and the hatch of the rocket in front of him opened automatically.

"Wow, is this what praying is like?!"

Naruto was amazed and also discovered that Jirachi's wishing slips would change color after he truly used his wishing ability to help others fulfill their wishes. Currently, the wishing slips on both sides have turned orange-red, representing his and Deoxys's wishes, while only the wishing slip on the star-shaped horn above his head remains unchanged.

Riding the Milton, they rushed directly into the cabin. Immediately afterward, the hatch closed, and guided by the prayers, without them even needing to do anything, the rocket began its countdown to liftoff.

"The universe—has arrived!"

A deafening roar resounded, and a powerful shockwave swept through the city. Everyone in Green Ridge looked in unison at the sky in the distance, which seemed to be burning. The enormous thrust steadily propelled the rocket from the launch pad into the sky, its tail flame streaking across the night sky and soaring straight into the heavens!

"The rocket...it's taking off!"

"I'm the astronaut!"

"Hey! Who activated this? Where are the staff at the Green Ridge Universe Center? Answer me now!"

"Ten billion... ten billion has flown away."

The staff, enjoying their last night, watched with utter despair, while tourists, unaware of what was happening, took out their phones to film the rocket launch, and the previously chaotic atmosphere dissipated at that moment.

Inside the rocket, Mingyou cried out in despair, "It's as awful as seasickness!"

This was his first time experiencing a rocket ride, and probably his last. However, he soon felt a sense of weightlessness, which made him feel increasingly uncomfortable, like a kitten struggling to find its landing spot.

Fortunately, his ability to adapt to his environment was comparable to that of a street sweeper, and he settled in quickly: "Is it almost time? Are you ready?"

"Kira!"

Jirachi nodded.

Immediately, Millardon kicked open the hatch.

Even a rocket costing a billion dollars is just a consumable. It immediately transformed into its complete form, taking Naruto and Jirachi with it into space. The endless, deep darkness instantly descended upon them.

Mingyou looked around. There was no direction here anymore. Even he couldn't help but feel fear of the boundless darkness of the universe.

But compared to these...

Although it was invisible to the naked eye, Mingyou could sense that the meteor shower was coming soon, and that the distance and timing should be enough to stop it!

"Kira!"

Jirachi let out a soft cry, slowly closed its eyes, and floated out of Naruto's arms. The eyes on its abdomen, which had been tightly closed, opened at this moment, radiating silver light.

The wish for destruction cannot be launched quickly; it requires accumulating power, twisting the prayer, and then destroying the wish in one fell swoop...

Time passed quickly, and disaster was rapidly approaching. Everyone at the center of the Green Ridge Universe came outside and nervously watched the night sky. The meteor was too close, and the satellite was interfered with by unknown signals, making it impossible to observe the situation in the universe.

"Melo..."

Meloetta, held in Xiaozhao's arms, crossed her arms over her chest in a praying gesture, hoping everyone would come back no matter what the outcome.

The meteor was incredibly fast, and there was only one chance. Mingyou couldn't help but feel nervous, and could only calculate the approximate time in her mind...

"Now!"

He vaguely sensed something, and immediately waved his hand and shouted. Jirachi, having gathered its power, shot out a bright and dazzling light from its abdomen. With the explosion of energy, it left a white streak in the universe like a shooting star.

In the next instant, the meteor shower appeared in sight, right within the range of the Destruction Wish. It accurately hit the meteors; whether it was a second faster or slower, it would have failed.

From the light of the first meteor that struck, rays of multiple colors were simultaneously emitted, shooting towards the other meteors like pear blossoms in the rain, and then exploding violently in an instant, leaving behind a dazzling burst of light.

Mingyou, panting heavily, couldn't see the outcome and could only ask, "Is it resolved?"

"Kira~"

Jirachi cried out wearily, the Destruction Wish had ruined the wish, and the meteor shower had already carried the alien fleet in other directions, and might never fly back to Earth.

So, they replaced the fleet with a meteor shower?

Naruto quickly realized that the once-in-a-millennium meteor shower was no longer heading towards Earth, which also meant that... Jirachi might never wake up again.

He knew very well that the other person was aware of the sleep, but had not told anyone. Although as innocent as a child, this child always had his own thoughts and just wanted to spend these few days of brief awakening with his new friends.

"..."

Mingyou felt quite heavy-hearted. Although these few days together would be a wonderful memory for Jirachi, the memory was too heavy for them, especially for Meloetta.

You said you didn't want to cause trouble for everyone, but leaving so suddenly, isn't that causing trouble for those who consider you a friend or like you?

……

"Miller!"

"Um?"

Milton's sudden reminder pulled Mingyou back to reality. She looked into the distance and, though she couldn't see it, she suddenly noticed, through Milton's observational abilities, that a meteor was not changing its course but was heading straight towards them, with a red trail, at three times the speed of other meteors!

"A red comet... Could it be?!"

Mingyou instantly knew the answer.

Recalling his previous victory over Deoxys, when the opponent's crystal suddenly disappeared just as it was about to shatter, he realized that the opponent must have escaped through some means, after all, it was an alien formed from viral DNA.

Jirachi can only change the course of a meteor carrying an alien warship, so all they need to do is jump to another meteor that doesn't carry a warship before it changes course.

Even so...

"Miller!"

The meteor's trajectory is deviating!

"What?!"

Naruto was shocked. He hadn't expected that guy would actually throw a meteor toward Earth. A meteor that could carry a warship, if it landed, would probably wipe out the entire Hoenn region in the destruction.

They actually threw stones at this critical juncture!

Since there's no time left to figure out a countermeasure, let's rely on them to hold it off. Just a mere rock, let's see him push it back with Milton!

"Millardton is more than just good-looking!!!"

"Miller!"

Millerton went all out, charging directly towards the meteor that was dozens of times his size. Behind the meteor, the unwilling Deoxys was suddenly startled, as if there was something familiar.

But humans... don't underestimate them. They have observed the Flower of Eternity. In the face of fate, Earth cannot escape being occupied!

"What an arrogant guy! Don't you know that we're here to protect Earth?"

Mingyou laughed loudly, and Milton, who was riding on his back, also smiled. His eyes instantly turned red, and fierce purple lightning spread from his body, instantly enveloping the entire meteorite.

Immediately, it collapsed!

Deoxys hurriedly activated his defensive stance, but a terrifying bolt of lightning, comparable to a heavenly tribulation, condensed in the middle of the meteorite, concentrating at a single point and reaching its peak.

"Miller!"

Milton roared, his body transforming into lightning that instantly pierced through the enormous meteorite, striking Deoxys's body with lightning speed.

The intense heat of the lightning rapidly evaporated its cells. Even in its defensive form, it could not withstand the onslaught and was unwillingly reduced to dust, disappearing into the universe. The crystal that served as its brain also shattered in an instant, vanishing along with the dust...
