Not a Trainer This Time

Chapter 623 Hupa

"Heroes Expedition Team?" Hupa muttered and repeated the word, not understanding it.

Meng Meng nodded happily: "miu!" (It is a team that travels around the world to help Pokémon in trouble!)

Victini nodded: "Nini!" (Yes! We have helped many Pokémon in need!)

"Wow!" Hupa's eyes were filled with admiration: "It sounds amazing!"

But then, a sad expression appeared on its face again.

"Hupa also wants to help others, but Hupa always messes up things..."

For example, just now, it wanted to help Grandpa Dam, who was suffering from drought, summon rain to irrigate the fields, but instead it summoned a bunch of candies.

And when the children in the village asked it to summon a stone to suppress the kneaded dough, it used its halo to pull out a rumble stone...

"miu..." Mengmeng thought about it carefully, and then said to Hupa: "miu!" (As long as you work hard, you will definitely get things done!)

Hupa seemed to be comforted. He felt that he was very connected with the Pokémon in front of him, so he asked curiously:

"How did you come to this place?"

Dream: "miu!" (Because we are traveling!)

"Travel?" Hupa's eyes lit up: "Then have you been to many places? Hupa has never left the village. What is the outside world like? Can you talk to Hupa?"

Hoopa never left the Valley of Creation?

After hearing this, whether it was Mew, Baby Bear, or Victini, they immediately felt that this Pokémon was so pitiful.

So, they happily agreed.

"miu!" (Of course you can!)

Baby Bear looked around, then found an open space, pointed over there and said, "One, one, one!" (Just go there!)

Several Pokémon flew over together.

Old man Dam looked at this scene with a smile. Hupa had made a good friend again!

Alas, this child is so pitiful. He has been sealed in this place and has never been able to go out and play.

However, he had recently heard that the little girl Mayali and her brother Balza planned to take Hupa to leave the Valley of Creation to find a way to help Hupa lift the seal.

Hope they can succeed!

In the open space, Hupa listened to Dream and Baby Bear telling them about the things they encountered during their travels, while eating the snacks brought by Baby Bear.

After listening to the story, Hupa also finished the snacks.

"As delicious as Hoopa's donuts!" Hoopa was very excited.

He felt that he had become good friends with these Pokémon, so he happily invited:

"You told Hoopa stories and shared snacks with Hoopa. Hoopa will also share his favorite donuts with you! Come with me!"

Under the leadership of Hupa, a group of Pokémon soon arrived in front of a wooden building.

Hupa shouted from a distance: "Mayali, Balza, Hupa is back with his new good friend!"

The door was opened, and a girl with braids, a blue headscarf, and traditional clothes and a boy with a red headscarf and boots came out of the house.

Mayali and Balza were stunned when they saw the scene outside the door.

Mayali covered her mouth and exclaimed: "Those Pokémon are...!"

"Dream, Baby Bear, and Lightning Bird." Balza calmly said their names.

As for the other one…

"Nini!" Victini quickly introduced himself.

"It's called Victini!" Hupa helped translate on the side, and then said impatiently: "Mayali! Hupa wants to eat donuts!"

Seeing Hupa's appearance, the girl named Mayali chuckled and nodded: "Okay."

Although they were a little surprised by Hupa's new friends, the brother and sister politely invited them to their home.

Mayali went to get the donuts, and Balza asked, "Where is your trainer?"

"Miu?" Meng Meng was a little confused. Trainer?

Seeing this, Balza couldn't help but murmur in his heart, could it be that these Pokémon are wild Pokémon?

But... how did they come together?

"They are the Heroes Expedition Team!" Hupa took the initiative to help introduce: "They are an organization that travels around the world to help Pokémon in need. They just helped Grandpa Dam summon rain to irrigate farmland!"

Heroes...expedition team?

Balza was shocked, what kind of organization is this?

And it doesn’t look like these Pokémon have a trainer around them. How on earth is this done? !

At this time, Mayali came out carrying several donuts.

“Please enjoy it!”

She placed the donuts in front of several Pokémon, and she and her brother watched tenderly as the Pokémon ate.

Hupa ate very happily, looking like a snack foodie.

The brother and sister looked at each other for a while, and then continued to do their own business.

Mayali went to pack her clothes and pack the things she would take with her for this trip.

Balza looked at the map and said to his sister:

"After leaving the Valley of Creation, you take Hupa directly to Desert City. I will go find the Pot of Punishment. We will meet in Desert City then."

Mayali's expression also became solemn: "Well, be careful."

Hoopa, who was eating donuts on the side, was attracted by this conversation.

It immediately raised its head, its eyes full of excitement and anticipation: "Mayali, are we going out to play?"

Mayali reached out and touched its little head and replied softly: "That's right. In addition to taking you outside to take a look this time, we also have to solve your problems."

"What's the problem with Hupa?" Hupa was a little confused.

Mayali explained: "A hundred years ago, your true power was sealed. As long as you find it, you can regain your true power."

"Real power?"

"Well, my brother will go look for it, and I will take you to Desert City." Mayali said,

"Desert City?" Hupa was very excited: "Hupa wants to eat a lot of donuts!"

Mayali smiled: "Of course."

Seeing this scene, Mew, Baby Bear and Victini looked at each other.

They immediately remembered what Naoki had said before.

Hoopa is now sealed, and only by helping it break the seal can it regain its true power.

So, Hupa should also need their help now, right?

Thinking of this, Meng Meng immediately said: "miu!" (We are here to help too!)

"Eh? You also want to go to Desert City with Hupa?" Hupa was a little surprised.

"One, one, one!" Baby Bear nodded, because we are all good friends!

"Good friends, good friends! Hupa is so happy! Okay, let's go together!" Hupa flew up happily.

A smile appeared on Mayali's face.

"Mayali, Dream and the others said they would go over to help! Hupa is so happy!" Hupa said.

Mayali was slightly startled: "Eh?"

"If all that is true, they may be able to protect you and Hupa for me." Balza thought calmly and then looked at the Pokémon in front of him: "Mew, Victini, Baby Bear, and Lightning Bird, please **** Mayali and Hupa to Desert City for me. I will thank you well when everything is over."

"Miu!" Meng Meng nodded happily.

That afternoon, Mayali and Balza took Hupa and left the Valley of Creation.

The brother and sister separated at the entrance of the desert. Balza went alone to the depths of the desert to find the Pot of Punishment, while Mayali took Hupa and headed to Desert City with the Heroes Expedition. That's where everything starts.

Watching Balza riding the warrior eagle and flying into the distance, Mayali couldn't help but pray silently in her heart.

Brother, please find the Pot of Punishment.

Padiya area, Zhishu Ranch, back mountain.

Autumn leaves are flying all over the sky and "blooming" everywhere, red, orange, yellow, and green, as if the color palette has been overturned on the earth.

Whenever this season comes, many delicious wild fungi will grow in the back mountains.

As the temperature gradually drops in autumn, this is the perfect time to warm up with a bowl of hot mushroom soup.

I still have some dried mushrooms that were dried last year at home, and I use them to stew a pot of delicious chicken stewed mushrooms. Just thinking about it makes people drool.

Under the shadow of the tree crown, among the damp tree roots covered with humus soil, there are thick and tender mushrooms growing vigorously.

"Ah, it's hazel mushrooms again. There's a bumper harvest of hazel mushrooms this year!"

Zhishu stepped forward to pick it and put it into the basket. Gu Ledun on the side had already hung a bamboo basket full of wild mushrooms.

The legendary **** of the past has become his own mushroom car.

"Ah geez..."

Naoki skillfully placed the bunch of mushrooms on Gulton's body, then touched its head and said, "Let's go home!"

One person and one Pokémon then started to head towards the pasture.

I don't know if it's because of King Lei Guan, or because of the forest fire that year, but the vegetation on the back mountain has become more lush recently.

The trees are dense, the fruits are abundant, the branches are lush, and the rivers are meandering.

Sufficient water sources, lush vegetation, and abundant food have attracted many grass-type Pokémon and other Pokémon to settle here.

This has also led to the Pokémon ecology near the back mountain getting better and better, giving it a feeling of a nature reserve.

On the way back, Naoki also saw the fruit tree he planted with his Pokémon back then, which had now grown wildly into a fruit forest.

Many wild Pokémon are gathering here.

Such as greedy chinchilla, walking grass, beautiful flowers, pink butterfly, lily root doll, Patch Liz.

Naoki even saw a relatively rare Miss Skirt dancing among the wild flowers.

When the girl in the skirt saw him and Gu Ledun, she didn't know whether she was shy or scared, so she turned around and ran away.

Naoki smiled and shook his head, and then continued down the mountain with Gulton.

When they returned to the ranch, Motorized Lizard and his brother, the caretaker, stepped forward and took the bamboo basket from Gulton's body.

"Okay, you go and play, just leave it to me!"

Zhi Shu was sitting under the eaves sorting mushrooms. Not far away, Xiao Shu was lying on Emperor Yan's body, soundly asleep.

Farther away, Kuailong was leaning against a big tree and snoring.

The Salt Djinn and the Frost Milk Fairy were quietly enjoying a pleasant afternoon on the grass.

Babu and the Meltans sat on the roof of the chicken hut and watched the hens walking by the river.

Several Eevee were chasing and playing on the grass.

There was a relaxed and leisurely atmosphere in the air, and Naoki felt relieved.

After sorting the pile of mushrooms, Zhi Shu picked out some to make soup and stir-fry at night, and put the other batch on the basket, letting Gu Ledun take him to the roof, put it there to dry, and make Store the dried mushrooms for consumption in the winter.

After doing all this, Naoki couldn't help but squint for a while because the weather was so good.

When he woke up again, it was already 4:50 pm.

Zach drove his large truck to the ranch to collect the goods, and Zhishu moved today's goods there to sell them.

Seeing Xiaoshu, Zach walked up and squatted down with a smile: "Xiaoshu, do you know who your uncle is?"

Xiaoshu was frightened by the rough and arrogant uncle in front of him, and he ran away in fear.

Zach: “…”

Is he that scary?

Zach scratched his head in confusion. Children are like this. He smiled heartily, took out a few candies that children love to eat from his pocket, and said to Xiaoshu:

"Here, it's a gift from your uncle! Stop crying!"

The small tree does not pick up.

Zhi Shu stepped forward to take it for her: "Xiao Shu is still young and is quite afraid of strangers."

"It's normal, it will be fine when I grow up a little bit." Zach took inventory of the goods, then took out his Rotom phone and fiddled with it for a while, and then quickly said: "Well, today's money has been transferred to you! "

"Okay, thank you for your hard work!"

Zach grinned, then got in the car and said goodbye to Naoki through the car window: "Let's go!"

"Get down!"

Xiaoshu climbed over and stretched out his arms to let Naoki hug him.

Naoki picked her up and walked towards home. After returning to the living room, he placed her on the carpet in front of the fireplace.

"Play with your toys with the Motorized Lizard. Mom is about to get off work, and Dad is going to prepare dinner." Naoki touched Xiaoshu's head.

"Gaaao~"

Xiaoshu was also well-behaved. She sat on the carpet and started playing with the Motorized Lizard with the toys Naoki bought for her.

Naoki went to the kitchen and started preparing dinner.

This morning he bought fresh three-yellow chicken from the town and reserved it for making chicken stewed with mushrooms at night.

Wash and cut the chicken into cubes and add to the casserole along with the mushrooms.

After a while, there was a sound of gurgling in the casserole, and soon after, the aroma of chicken mixed with the strong aroma of mushrooms wafted out.

"What smells so good?"

Qishu walked in from outside and looked in the direction of the kitchen with curiosity on his face.

"Chicken stewed with mountain mushrooms, let me tell you, it's very delicious. I made it once before, so they even drank all the soup." Naoki replied with a smile.

"Wow, I'll have to taste it later!" Qishu's tone was full of expectation.

"Of course no problem!"

It's almost October now, and the Padia League will usher in the offseason in a while. At that time, gym leaders from all over the country will also take a vacation.

Thinking of this, Naoki asked: "Let's go to the Alola region to spend the winter this winter!"

The little tree will be eleven months old by then, and you can take it with you to play outside. It is colder in the Padia region and warmer in the Alola region. The family happened to go to the beach to pick up crabs and build sand castles.
