Pokémon: Starting as a Farmer Instead of a Trainer

Chapter 451 The World Championship Ends, Milerton Gets Banned (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

As the concert ended, the audience, still captivated by Meloeta's final song, left in an orderly fashion, knowing tonight was destined to be a sleepless night.

Mingyou was equally pleasantly surprised. He hadn't expected Meloetta to have learned human language, not through telepathy, but by speaking it directly. It seemed she had deliberately kept it a secret for today.

Xiao Zhao and the others were also very surprised. Even the band members, including Milton and Kirachi, had no idea about this.

"Hehe~"

Meloeta chuckled playfully. After all, to sing well, it would naturally need to master other languages. However, it was indeed intentional to keep it a secret from everyone this time, so it would be better to reveal it now.

Mingyou nodded gently, rubbed its head, and said with a smile, "Then you must pursue your dreams well. Of course, if you encounter any problems, you can always come to us."

"Hmm~"

"Mmm~"

That's great!

Ponpo looked on with envy, wishing she could learn human language too, but unfortunately, she could only make "uh-uh-uh-uh" sounds. Maybe she should ask the experienced Meloetta to teach her?

Let's ask her when Mingyou isn't around.

After the concert ended, everyone was about to leave. Nie Zi brought Mary to express their gratitude. This concert had made Spiketown a huge hit, finally making this unknown town known to the world for the first time.

They certainly wouldn't waste this opportunity; they would definitely make good use of it to develop Spiketown. When everyone comes back next time, they will see a completely different, brand-new Spiketown!

Then, their friends came over one by one to say goodbye to Mingyou and the others, and said that they would definitely be there to cheer them on at the Masters Tournament next month.

Dan Di and Zhu Lan also hoped to meet Ming You in the competition. However, Xiao Qing did not come to talk to him about the competition, but to inquire about Mu Dan's whereabouts. Since Mu Dan graduated and left Orange Academy to return to her hometown a month ago, she has not been able to contact her, so she wanted to ask if there was any news about her.

"Hmm... I'll send someone to investigate."

Mingyou wasn't too sure either, but Mudan was Loz's niece, although the two families didn't seem to have a particularly good relationship. The Rockets trio was currently infiltrating the Maroccomon Group, so he could ask them about the situation.

After sending everyone away, only Danyu, Wuli, and N remained. The siblings wanted to go back to Beishang Township together, while N really wanted to visit Beishang Township and see Kyurem again.

"You're going to follow us?"

Seeing that they were staying, Mingyou scratched his head awkwardly and replied, "But we're going to Biyi City in the Carlos region on our way."

"Biyi City?" Xiao Zhao tilted her head slightly, her face full of confusion. She hadn't heard of this arrangement. "What are we going there for?"

"Um... well, that's a secret for now~"

Mingyou smiled mysteriously, but he was still a little nervous. This was something he had been anxious about for so long before he finally mustered up the courage to make up his mind.

"Alright."

Xiao Zhao didn't ask any more questions, but she became a little expectant. She thought that the mysterious behavior meant that the person was preparing some kind of surprise for her.

She knows him too well.

Is it really okay...?

She took out her alpaca phone and searched for the weather online, her tone worried: "It seems like it's been raining heavily in Biyi City lately. The coastal area has issued evacuation notices, the airport is temporarily closed, and even the annual Vow Tree Festival has been canceled."

"ha?"

Mingyou, who was still in a tense state, froze instantly after hearing these words and quickly looked at Xiaozhao's phone.

really.

The usually mild climate of Biyi City has been hit by a severe rainstorm, and an evacuation notice was issued three days ago. Tourists are not allowed to visit at the moment.

The cause of the torrential rain is currently unknown and may continue for several more days. As a result, the Oath Tree Festival, scheduled for the end of the month, has had to be cancelled.

"..."

Mingyou was completely dumbfounded.

I've been preparing for so long, and you just tell me to stop? What do you mean by that?!

"We definitely can't go like this. Even if we wanted to go shopping, it would be useless in the rain. So how about we go somewhere else? Or we can wait until after the World Championships, since we don't have much time."

Although Xiao Zhao felt regret, she was more concerned about the other person. As for where Ming You wanted to go with her, she didn't care, since it was all the same anyway. But this Oath Tree Festival... could it be...?

She still sensed something.

But Mingyou wasn't happy about it!

But what the other party said is right. There is not much time left. The World Championship will be officially concluded in three days, and the Masters Championship will be in a week. If you want to perform well, you can't slack off during this period.

"Damn it, if I catch whoever started this downpour, you're in for it!"

"Alright, alright, let's go home first. Everyone's tired after working so hard for the concert for so many days."

"Um……"

With no other option, Mingyou had to obediently go home. Since the plan couldn't be implemented for the time being, he could only put it aside for the time being and ask Team Rocket's trio to investigate Peony's matter on behalf of Xiaoqing and the others.

However, the Queen of the Laceylon did not return. Although she made a brief appearance at the concert, she seemed to have other matters to attend to. After saying that she would return in a few days, she disappeared again.

Mingyou wasn't worried about the other party and let it be, as long as it didn't cause any trouble.

After returning to Kitakami Township, in order to welcome N, a guest who had come from afar, Naruto personally took him on a tour of Greentown and the manor, and finally took him to the Arctic region to see Kyurem. Kyurem was in very good condition. Although he spent all day lying in the ice cave, he hardly slept, but quietly observed the future of the Pokémon in the ecological park.

After looking around, N became interested in the school in Emerald Town. He learned that the school was still hiring teachers because there would be many new students in the second half of the year. He expressed his desire to become a teacher there, to teach these children, and to get to know them.

The school was naturally pleased with this.

Danyu, who has also graduated from Blueberry Academy, initially planned to travel, but she didn't want to neglect her developing hometown, so she decided to teach at the school for a few years. Wuli also had the idea of ​​working at the school after graduation.

To celebrate the school's continued success, everyone held a banquet on campus that evening.

And just like that, three days passed quickly...

With no new players initiating a challenge for a spot in the next round for several days, Mingyou's ranking in this World Championship was finalized at the moment the countdown ended.

Xiao Zhao was even more concerned about this than Ming You. Due to the time difference, she even set an alarm to get up in the middle of the night to watch the official live broadcast of the event.

"It's finally starting!"

She eagerly awaited the moment Mingyou's avatar would appear. She knew that the other party was less concerned about the World Championship than what to eat today, but she had to be responsible and inform the other party in a timely manner if there were any changes to the rules of the competition.

soon.

On the screen, the rankings of the eight contestants who were frozen there instantly spread out in all directions, and the contestants' portraits appeared, starting with the first place and introducing them in turn.

First place, the reigning world champion and also the Galar regional champion – Dante!

Second place: Archaeologist and mythologist, Sinnoh champion – Cynthia!

Third place, the double champion of the Kanto and Johto regions - Wataru!

Fourth place, global Best Actress, box office champion, Carlos regional champion – Karuni!

Fifth place: Ardek, a trainer at the Hinoki City Trainer School and the Unova Region Champion!

Sixth place, the top student in the entire Orange Academy, and the champion of the Padia region—Xiao Qing!

Seventh place: Wallace, Gym Leader of Sootopolis City, Pokémon Coordinator, and former Champion of the Hoenn region!

Eighth place, nothing at all—Mingyou!

"What does that mean?!"

Upon seeing the final introduction for Mingyou, Xiaozhao paused briefly. Her usually gentle demeanor darkened considerably, and she forcefully nudged the sleeping Mingyou beside her: "Look at this!"

"Hmm... what's wrong? I even dreamt that Groudon carried me around, at least let me share this dream with..."

Mingyou was groggily woken up, sat up, snuggled up to the girl, and looked at the screen. At this moment, Xiaozhao also began to vent her dissatisfaction.

"They've gone too far. You're a youth cup champion, and you even have an introduction to Sister Zhulan's archaeology. You're a breeder of mutant crops, yet you have nothing."

"Hmm...it's alright, at least they didn't yell at me."

"You may not care, but I do!"

Xiao Zhao doesn't care about honors, but she absolutely won't allow anyone to bully Ming You.

Mingyou had been targeted by the organizers during the World Championships, which had caused her a lot of resentment. However, she usually tried to remain calm when teaching her students and didn't want them to worry too much, so she didn't show it. But now they've actually come to bully her!

"And this too!"

"Huh? What is it?"

Mingyou stared intently as Xiaozhao pointed to the newly released Master Tournament rules on the screen: "These are Pokémon that are restricted in the competition. It seems like there have always been restrictions, such as not allowing Groudon to be used against Ogre Magi... They're just for show, since how could anyone possibly use those Pokémon? But there are new ones this year."

"..."

Mingyou glanced at the list and saw that it was mostly legendary and mythical Pokémon. But at the very end of the list, he spotted two familiar figures.

The Mototsurugi with Milerton's image and Keldeo in its Resolved form have been deemed overrated Legendary and Mythical Pokémon by the tournament organizers after extensive consultation and evaluation. Therefore, they cannot be used in the Masters Tournament or future World Championships.

"???"

Lao Kai! Lao Mi! How come you two look so alike!

Mingyou was stunned, then instantly snapped back to reality. This was clearly aimed at him. Had his two high-profile battles with Mikoli and Qibana drawn attention?

Although it was his problem, seeing how he had been bullied all along, Xiao Zhao didn't think it was his fault. His body trembled slightly, and he clenched his fists.

"What should I do...? I suddenly have a strong urge to catch some mythical Pokémon and wipe out all these guys! You have to stop me!"

"..."
