Pokémon: Starting as a Farmer Instead of a Trainer

Chapter 94 I heard that seeing Ho-Oh will bring you happiness!

Two days passed in the blink of an eye. For the sake of tourism... no, for the future development of the manor, Mingyou had basically arranged everything in the manor.

He also told the other Pokémon that he would be away for at least half a month before returning, so he asked them to help take care of the manor during this time.

However, after learning that he was going to the Sinnoh region, Electivire and Torterra in the manor asked him to check on their species, since both of them actually came from the Sinnoh region.

Mingyou agreed to all of this without even thinking about it...

That morning...

"Yo yo~"

The stag stood on the edge of Emerald Town, bidding them farewell. Beside it floated a Rotom cell phone, specifically for communication.

Since the horned deer said it wanted to stay at home, Mingyou could save herself some trouble by asking it to deliver the fruit to her.

That's the good thing about Psychic-type Pokémon; their mental strength is strong enough that they learn things quite quickly. Plus, Rotom on the phone has AI control capabilities, so you can basically master it in ten minutes.

"Then we'll be going now. You guys should go back too!"

Mingyou waved to the Deer and the others. In addition to them, some Pokémon from the manor also came over.

"Yo yo~"

"Okay, let's go!"

Seeing them leave, Mingyou led Latias onto the bus, while Snorlax, sporting Gible on its head, followed with a curious expression.

As for Ponpo and Ursaring, they are both inside their Poké Balls and it's not convenient to release them yet. We'll talk about it after we leave Kitakami Township.

Just as they boarded the car and the doors were about to close, another figure suddenly squeezed through the crack in the door.

After it rushed in, it landed directly on the head of the giblet, like a human pyramid...

Seeing Simocha reappear, Mingyou, who had just sat down, looked very surprised.

"Mommy~"

I want to go play too!

A mischievous smile appeared on the tea canister of Simocha. It usually strolled around Beishang Township, so the lively commotion at the manor could not possibly escape its notice.

It has never left since it was born, so it certainly won't miss such a good opportunity and will definitely go out for a stroll with the group.

However, its appearance startled the few passengers on the bus, since Simocha was a childhood nightmare for almost everyone in Beishang Township.

Fortunately, Mingyou quickly explained, "It's okay, it's my Pokémon, it won't attack people."

"You should have said so earlier..."

"Oh my...you scared me to death!"

"Haha, sorry, sorry."

Mingyou smiled. He sat in the back row, and although he always preferred a window seat, he didn't take one this time, instead giving it to Latias.

As the engine roared, the bus slowly started moving, and the scenery outside the window began to change rapidly.

"Waaah..."

Latias pressed his face against the car window, fascinated by this unprecedented experience. He had always been flying in the sky and never paid any attention to the scenery around him.

Although the bus was moving slowly and swaying a bit, making her feel a little dizzy, everything seemed new and exciting as long as she looked out the window.

The little Snorlax lay down as soon as the bus started moving, taking up three seats in the back row. Gible and Smurfette sat on its belly, rising and falling with its rhythmic breathing.

Seeing this scene, Mingyou smiled and suddenly recalled the day she first came here. She was also on this bus, and she only had a bag on her body and nothing else around her.

but now……

"I'm not lonely at all anymore..."

Mingyou sighed, then took out a bag of potato chips from her bag. Just then, a black goose came running towards them from the front.

"Ooh-pa~"

"What a coincidence, you're here too!"

Mingyou looked at the other person and naturally recognized him as Wubo, whom she had met by chance on the bus on the day she came to Beishang Township. She didn't expect to run into him again this time.

Here, have some.

"Ooh-pa~"

After eating the potato chips, Ubo happily wagged his tail, then turned and ran back at the call of an old lady in the seat in front of him.

Watching it run away, Mingyou finally understood the feeling of unexpectedly bumping into a friend during a trip—perhaps this is what it's like...

The bus continued its journey along the mountain road, gradually disappearing into the distance and leaving Beishang Township behind...

Around noon, the bus finally arrived in Iwate City. This city doesn't belong to any region; if you really want to divide it, it should actually be considered part of the Kanto region.

Anyway, due to various historical reasons, Mingyou couldn't understand them. After leaving the station with everyone, she went to the other side to take a train to Cerulean City, where the nearest airport was located.

"It's really inconvenient. It would be great if a small airport could be built near Beishang Township, or if a railway could be built directly here."

After boarding the train, Mingyou shook her head.

Actually, these are not things that no one has thought of. Many years ago, there were plans to build a train line from the Kanto region, through Kitakami and Armia, and finally to the Sinnoh region.

Unfortunately, the officials from both Beishang Township and the Almia region rejected the offer, citing concerns about damaging the natural environment and ecology. In reality, they were just two poor, troublesome places trying to get more money.

"That should be enough for now. Let's go eat when we get to Cerulean City. Our plane tickets are for tomorrow morning, and we'll need to rest there for another night."

"Mmm~"

Ponpo was released from the Pokémon Ball by Naruto, and the train has already departed. However, Ponpo is still wearing the ghost mask on its face, afraid of being recognized.

This time it was its turn to sit next to Mingyou, lean against the window, and look outside.

The distant mountains and forests seemed to move rapidly as the train sped along.

Pidgey, along with Pidgeotto and the others, soared through the air in a V-formation, but were quickly left behind by the train.

The constantly flashing scenery filled Ponpo with surprise and disbelief, who had never experienced anything like this before. Was this the outside world?

It perched by the window, gazing into the distance. In the distance, dark clouds dispersed, and a streak of rainbow light pierced the sky. Seven-colored clouds intertwined, shining brightly, like a great bridge spanning the sky, magnificent and awe-inspiring!

Beneath this colorful bridge, a figure with dazzling seven-colored wings trailed a faint rainbow, as if bringing the rainbow with it, before gradually fading into the distance and disappearing into the horizon.

"Hmm..."

What is that...? It's so beautiful!

Ponpo was captivated by the sight it had never seen before. Mingyou also noticed this scene outside the window and gently stroked its head, saying, "This is a rainbow! It is said that the legendary rainbow Pokémon Ho-Oh lives under the rainbow. If you can see it, you will have eternal happiness."

"Hmm..."

Will meeting Ho-Oh bring happiness...?

Ponpo opened its mouth slightly, memorizing the story. Mingyou smiled gently, not disturbing it, and quietly stayed by its side.

Only after the train slowly entered the city did he chuckle and say, "Alright, we've arrived in Cerulean City. Get ready to get off, then we'll go eat!"

"Mmm~"

Ponpo nodded, then turned her gaze away from the window and followed everyone out of the carriage, stepping into the outside world for the first time in hundreds of years!
