Pokémon: Starting as a Farmer Instead of a Trainer

Chapter 99 Taming, Gible's Transformation

When they met on a narrow path, Dingzhen looked at Smocha and Gible that appeared in front of him. He didn't recognize them immediately, but he was curious about Smocha, whom he had never seen before, and even had the idea of ​​grabbing him.

But he couldn't recognize him. How could Gible not recognize him? Even in his current disheveled state...

"shark!"

Upon encountering its former trainer again, Gible could no longer contain its emotions. At that moment, Yu's voice slowly drifted over from not far away.

"He's just a Pokémon hunter, and your birth was just an accident..."

Mingyou told Lushu everything he had heard and everything he had analyzed. This time, he didn't omit anything to save face for Lushu, but told everything truthfully.

Because the other party needs to know!

Having finally learned the truth, Gible touched its belly, at a loss for words...

The person it once trusted so much turned out to be not only an irresponsible liar, but also a heinous Pokémon hunter.

It's unknown how many Pokémon were snatched from their trainers and resold to others, causing countless families to break apart...

Hearing Mingyou's words, Dingzhen covered his arm and finally recognized that this Gible was the same one that Team Rocket had captured back then.

"How did it get here!"

"Because I saved it... I wiped out all those Team Rocket members, and I also promised to help it find a trainer. That was our agreement."

As he spoke, Mingyou strolled forward. However, he had been caught so suddenly that he was only wearing a thin thermal shirt and long underwear, so even though his movements were usually very cool, he looked rather silly.

Upon hearing what the other party had just said, Dingzhen was stunned. They'd taken down the Rockets? What kind of strength is that? Damn it, this time we've really bitten off more than we can chew…

No! This isn't a steel plate... it's a rifle nail!

How could someone capable of cultivating such crops be an ordinary person?

They shouldn't have acted so hastily. They are usually cautious, but they made this mistake because someone was leaving tomorrow. They should have investigated first, but it's too late to regret it now.

Fortunately, Dingzhen reacted quickly and immediately pulled out a Poké Ball... It was Gible's Poké Ball; thankfully, he had forgotten to throw it away.

Since this gible is now connected to the person in front of us, we can make use of it, and there are many ways to do so!

He held up the Poké Ball and immediately thought, "Didn't you want this Gible? Here's its Poké Ball, you can have it, just let me go!"

"..."

Gible's expression grew even more somber, and Naruyu showed no sign of stopping.

Seeing this, Dingzhen took a half step back, his expression panicked, and immediately chose another method, shouting, "Don't come any closer! I'm going to sue you for stealing my Pokémon! Gible is mine!"

Gible: "..."

Upon hearing this, Mingyou finally stopped, slightly raised her eyes, gently stroked her chin, and said softly, "That's so funny. I feel you shouldn't be a Pokémon Hunter; you should switch to working in a circus right now. Such a great talent shouldn't be wasted. There's a profession there that would definitely suit you perfectly... provided you still have the opportunity!"

"You bastard!"

Seeing Mingyou mocking him like that, Dingzhen could no longer bear it. He immediately turned around, aimed the Poké Ball at Gible, and then shot out a beam of red light... As long as he could recall Gible, he could use it to blackmail others or as a shield for himself.

Before he could even laugh out loud, the red light shooting out of the Poké Ball was slapped away by Gible... The Pokémon refused to enter the Poké Ball!

"What...?"

Dingzhen couldn't believe what he was seeing, but just as he was about to try again, Gible's hands were surrounded by a light green halo, which then transformed into a pair of incredibly sharp claws, and it instantly rushed in front of him!

"shark!"

With a swipe of its claw, the Poké Ball was instantly shattered into several pieces before Dingzhen's eyes. Another claw, accompanied by fear and possible regret, magnified in his pupils, and finally... *whoosh*!

A sharp glint flashed by!

The moment the Gible landed on the ground, Dingzhen also collapsed to the ground, completely losing consciousness.

Finally, it's over...

"Well done!"

Mingyou smiled and clapped. He hadn't done anything in the whole thing; he had just fulfilled his promise. All the decisions were made by Gible itself, and making such a choice was also a transformation for it!

"shark……"

Gible pondered for a long time, no longer looking at Dingzhen lying on the ground, but instead looking up at Mingyou in front of him, silently watching the other.

Looking into its eyes, Mingyou understood what it meant: "Have you decided?"

"shark!"

Gible nodded. Now that it was completely free, there was only one place it wanted to go... So, it wanted to become Naruto's Pokémon and be able to stay with everyone!

"Then please take care of me from now on~"

Mingyou crouched down and gently stroked its head. As long as the affection level was high enough, its rough skin would no longer hurt him.

He then stood up, looked at Dingzhen who was being sprinkled with matcha powder by Smokecha, and said calmly, "Pokémon are not tools, but the most important partners. They are creatures that live on Earth on an equal footing with humans. Those who do not know how to treat Pokémon kindly will naturally not gain the understanding of Pokémon!"

As soon as he finished speaking, urgent police sirens blared in the distance, gradually approaching...

At three o'clock in the morning, inside a police station on a street in Hualan City, Xia, dressed in children's pajamas, was shouting and gesticulating wildly through a computer screen.

"Why do you need me to be your guarantor so late at night? Don't I need to sleep?!"

"Haha... There's nothing I can do. My flight was at 7:30 this morning, and the police station is still investigating. I don't have a guarantor, so they won't let me leave early."

Mingyou said with an embarrassed expression, and also told the other party the real purpose of Dingzhen and others coming to Cerulean City. It could be said that they unintentionally helped Cerulean Gym solve a small problem.

Seeing his words, Xiaoxia scratched her messy hair and sighed, "Alright then... let me and Officer Jenny talk to her..."

Thanks a lot!

With the matter resolved, Mingyou finally breathed a sigh of relief. It's so good to have friends. The old saying, "At home you rely on yourself, but when you're out, you rely on your friends," is definitely true.

Shortly after Gible defeated Dingzhen, Officer Jenny and her sisters rushed over, not because of the battle being held in an area where it wasn't allowed, but because of Ponpo and the other girl...

Ponpo and Latias stood bewildered on the street and then disappeared, mistakenly believed to have been kidnapped by human traffickers... although that was pretty much the case.

When Officer Jenny and her group arrived, they found no human traffickers, but instead stumbled upon a tragic incident. After inquiring, they learned that a Pokémon hunter group's crime had gone wrong... and in the end, they all brought them back.

As one of the main participants, although Mingyou is not a criminal, she still has to give a statement and assist in the investigation and evidence collection... and has been busy until now.

"Let's go back to the hotel... It's so cold."

With Xiaoxia acting as guarantor, Mingyou could leave immediately. However, after an autumn rain, the temperature in Hualan City was very low at night.

However, the pummels immediately stuck together, and it was even warmer to stick together like that. They walked together on the street, creating a strange yet heartwarming scene.

Only Snorlax was still fast asleep on the sofa in the hotel room, enjoying the air conditioning...

"Gambit~"

Dawn broke quickly, and after having the free breakfast at the hotel, Mingyou rushed to the airport to avoid missing her boarding time.

In the Pokémon world, airports have clear regulations regarding Pokémon with specific size and weight limits... They require separate tickets, or allow free boarding if a trainer is present, or prohibit them from boarding at all. These regulations are quite strict.

Snorlax is too heavy to fly, and Ursaring is even less likely to be able to fly; they have to stay in their Poké Balls and are not allowed to be released midway through the flight.

Ponpo and Latias, which transforms into a human baby, require separate tickets, but there is a 30% discount for Pokémon tickets... Latias does not have a discount.

As for Smoke and Gible, they are allowed to board the plane with Miyu for free, but Pokémon are not allowed to run around freely in the cabin.

After a series of tedious procedures, Mingyou finally boarded the plane successfully and even gave up the window seat to Pengpeng so that it could enjoy the view while flying at an altitude of 10,000 meters!

Seeing Ponpo's expectant face, Mingyou patted its head and said, "If you like flying, I'll have your little sister take you flying another day!"

"Mmm~"

"Waaah..."

Don't...

Latias dared not utter a sound; she dared not tell them that she had never flown at an altitude of 10,000 meters before... so today's experience was entirely her first time.

Soon, the plane began to run off the runway and slowly took off, officially starting everyone's trip to the Sinnoh region!
