Pokémon: Starting as a Farmer Instead of a Trainer

Chapter 68: Arguing with Wu Li, Who Prefers Ghosts More?

The vegetable garden in the backyard.

Dr. Kukui squatted in the field, looking at the white and red tomatoes in front of him, his face full of curiosity: "Tomatoes that could potentially cause hallucinations? This is quite interesting!"

"But we can't just sell them anywhere..."

"This one too, it's easy for people to think of it as something bad. By the way, can I try it? To experience what this illusion is like?"

"no problem."

Mingyou didn't care about these things, and the hallucinations were short-lived and had a low probability of occurring; at least he had only experienced them once so far.

He then picked a tomato and handed it to Dr. Kukui, who ate it expectantly, but the next second he suddenly froze on the spot...

"What's wrong?"

At this moment, Dr. Kukui came to his senses and laughed, "Haha, I didn't expect to actually see a hallucination. I saw myself marrying Dr. Barnet, and even having a child, even though I've only just started pursuing her. But the hallucination was too short-lived..."

"..."

Mingyou... is furious!

How come you get to marry the person you love, while I get repeatedly run over by dump trucks? Does that mean I love dump trucks?

Just as he was agonizing over these trivial matters, Xiao Zhao's voice suddenly rang out from behind: "Mingyou, are you free right now? There are some things to take care of here..."

"Hmm? What's wrong?"

Mingyou stood up and looked back, only to see Xiaozhao bringing Wuli over and telling him about Wuli's desire to challenge him.

"Want to fight me?"

"Um……"

Wu Li nodded slightly, because he wasn't familiar with Ming You, and his sister didn't get along with her, so he could only ask Xiao Zhao to help him talk about it.

Mingyou pondered for a moment, then asked, "I'm not even a trainer, so what's the point of you challenging me?"

"Big brother likes ghosts too, right?"

"Um?"

Faced with Wu Li's sudden question, Ming You frowned slightly and replied, "What the hell?"

"I've observed that your older brother argues with my sister when the topic of demons comes up, and during the Kamaji Festival, he wears demon masks with your strange younger sister and even thinks they're cool. So I get the feeling that you seem to know a lot about demons!"

When the topic of ghosts was brought up, Uri seemed to suddenly become more proactive. She then took out a Poké Ball and continued, "So let's battle! I want to know who knows more about ghosts between us!"

"???"

Mingyou was slightly taken aback, feeling that something was off about what he was saying. Jealousy? It's like you've had a crush on a girl for a long time, only to find out one day that someone else also has a crush on her, so you feel unbalanced.

Is this child alright?

Meanwhile, on the second floor of the villa, because there were too many outsiders, Ponpo didn't dare to go downstairs. She could only go to the window of the back room and look down curiously, wanting to see what Mingyou was doing...

After figuring out what the child meant, Mingyou gently stroked her chin with her fingers, raised her head slightly, and shook her head calmly: "You mean ghost? I don't really like that term."

Hearing this, Wuli seemed a little confused and began to argue: "Why? The name 'demon' sounds so cool, and it also shows its powerful strength in easily defeating Baoban!"

"Yeah?"

With her arms crossed and a hint of indifference in her voice, Mingyou continued, "Perhaps to you, it is a Pokémon with great power, capable of easily defeating three companions, but to me... it is just a pitiful little guy being bullied all by himself."

"..."

Xiao Zhao and Dr. Kukui, who were present, could tell that Mingyou seemed to have something in mind in her words. Moreover, from their brief conversation just now, it was clear that Mingyou seemed to understand demons better, and her attitude was different.

Furthermore, from their perspective, Uri seems to pursue the power of demons more, while Naruyu values ​​the demons' own experiences...

"..."

Wu Li did not agree with the other party's answer. He originally thought that Ming You was the same kind of person as him, both of them liked ghosts, but after talking with her, he realized that the other party did not like ghosts at all, but was just sympathizing with them!

But powerful ghosts don't need your sympathy, you weaklings. Ghosts are lonely and powerful. Sympathy is an insult to them. You don't even know the slightest bit about ghosts!

Uri, who has admired the demons in the story since childhood and has always regarded them as idols, finally got angry when faced with Naruyu's "insult" to the demons!

"Let's battle!"

He threw the Poké Ball in his hand, a red light flashed, and a tall, slender figure appeared in the vegetable garden.

This Pokémon has brown and beige fur, a long tail, and a pair of small hands that are brown in the front and beige in the back. It also has two brown rectangular markings next to its mouth, making it look very cute.

[Ape-Tempered: A long-bodied Pokémon with a gentle personality. It likes to wrap its fluffy body around the person it likes while sleeping. It will fight with all its might for its trainer. It's easy to gain its affection if you don't make it angry.]

"Why are you in such a hurry?"

Mingyou has confirmed that the other party does indeed have serious psychological problems. These two siblings are really...

Seeing him standing still, Uriel's face darkened as he shouted, "Hurry up and send out your Pokémon!"

"My Pokémon...?"

Mingyou scratched his head. The little Snorlax had disappeared, and the Gible was just here, but it probably hid because there were too many guests in the villa... Oh no, no Pokémon to fight.

"Hmm..."

Seeing Mingyou's predicament from upstairs, Ponpo took out its thorny vine club. Although it was a little afraid of these people, it still decided to go down and help without hesitation.

It can tolerate being bullied itself, but it absolutely cannot allow Mingyou to be bullied...

But just as it was about to go down, many figures suddenly appeared in the backyard, including Electivire, Torterra, and Ariados... They all ran out when they saw someone was going to hit Yuu!

"This view is amazing!"

Seeing the scene before him, Professor Kukui couldn't help but sigh. Even though they were all wild Pokémon, they all appeared to protect Mingyou at this time, which was enough to show how much Mingyou cared for them.

Although Mingyou isn't a trainer, the fact that she could do this already puts her far ahead of countless trainers. The sight of an ordinary person getting along so well with so many Pokémon would surely amaze even Professor Oak if he were here.

Xiao Zhao placed her hands on her chest, not saying a word, but she felt an irrepressible excitement at the sight, as if it were something she had been trying to see all along...

Both Uri and Ootai were stunned by this sudden turn of events. Naruyu tossed her hair and said somewhat embarrassedly, "It seems like everyone wants to help me fight. What should we do... Well, you can choose one then?"

He smiled at Uriel, and all the Pokémon around him followed suit. Uriel, who had just been planning to defeat this "insulting" ghost, was now sweating profusely and kept his head down without saying a word.

Finally, after a period of inner struggle, he gritted his teeth, held back his tears of resentment, and said, "I...I give up..."

After saying that, he retracted his large tail and ran away without looking back. He was still too cowardly and had no confidence in his own strength at all...

Mingyou watched the other person leave silently. He had never seen this kind of psychological symptom many times before, and even if he wanted to cure it, it would probably take a lot of time. He really wanted to correct the other person, but there was no opportunity right now.

After a moment of contemplation, he looked at Xiao Zhao and said, "Please pass on a message to him later. Today's battle isn't over yet. Once he gets stronger, I'll bring Pengpeng to visit him."

"Ponpon?"

"Yes~"

There are no ghosts here, only Ponpo~
