Not a trainer this time!

Bird Pokémon flying over the pasture: "Quack quack!" (It's getting dark, go home, go home!)

A group of ducks on the other side of the river: "Kadada!" (I really want to swim in the river!)

"Achievable!" (You'll be swept away!)

"Dada Dada Dada!" (There are a lot of delicious food growing on the opposite side, so delicious, I really want to eat Dada!)

Naoki has black lines all over his head.

How come even the ambient sounds of wild Pokémon are automatically translated!

If you look at it this way, the effect of this translation of melon seeds is too weak, right? !

And what's up with this group of wild ducks, they want to steal his family's crops!

Naoki cast his eyes on the group of Kodaks on the other side of the river, and as expected, he found that many Kodaks were looking at him.

Seeing him approaching, the eyes of some of the ducks shifted to him by the way.

After Zhishu ate a few melon seeds, he heard the Koda ducks say in a panic: "Koda!" (Koda was found!)

Naoki: "..."

He pretended not to hear, turned around and walked into the salt house, and followed the tunnel to the underground cave where the salt stone bases lived.

When he came to the bottom, he heard a fight.

Zhi Shu stepped forward to check and saw that the Salt Stone Treasure, which had not yet evolved, was sparring with a Salt Stone Barrier.

He was not surprised to see this scene, because this was his suggestion to Yan Shibao.

The last time Yanshibao still didn't evolve after eating the pot of rock salt fried soil, and it was lost for a long time because of this. At that time, Naoki provided it with another method.

That is to compete with other Pokémon, gain experience in evolution through battles, temper the body, and train the body's strength to meet the conditions for evolution.

Seeing him coming, Yan Shibao and Yan Shilei stopped.

Naoki knocked a handful of melon seeds and asked, "How do you feel?"

Yanshibao: "Salt~" (feels good~)

"That's fine." Naoki stepped forward to check Yanshibao's body, and then said: "Soon, soon you will be able to evolve into a more powerful Yanshiba."

"Yanyan~" Yan Shibao jumped on the ground twice, thinking of what Zhishu had done for it these days, he was moved: "Yanyan!" (I like Zhishu the most!)

Hearing this, Naoki was taken aback for a moment, and then realized that this was Yan Shibao's truest thought.

He smiled and said, "Thank you, I like you very much too."

Yan Shibao jumped up on the ground even more happily.

Naoki reached out and touched its head, just about to hug Yan Shibao, but suddenly saw a dazzling light erupting from its body.

In the light, its appearance changed rapidly.

That's evolution!

After a while, the light dissipated, and a very strong salt stone barrier appeared in front of Zhishu.

So far, all five salt stone treasures have evolved.

"Lei~!" (Evolved, so happy!)

"Congratulations, Yanshilei." Naoki stood up and looked at the five Yanshilei in front of him with emotion.

His mind flashed back to the first time he saw them.

To be honest, there is nothing in this world that is more satisfying than watching Pokémon evolve and grow.

From a small boy to a big guy, from a weak Pokémon with no self-protection ability to a powerful one

Maybe this is the fun of nurturing?

Naoki chatted with the group of Yan Shilei for a while, and when he saw Yan Shilei showing a sleepy expression, he was ready to leave.

"Then I won't disturb your rest. See you tomorrow!"

"Lei~" (See you tomorrow~)

And just as he got up to leave, he suddenly heard a rustling sound in the corner of this cave.

Huh?

Naoki was a little surprised, wondering if there were other wild Pokémon attracted by this cave?

With doubts, he stepped forward, and soon, he saw a small bulging bump on a flat ground.

There was a faint voice coming from inside.

"Squeak!" (Can't see me, can't see me, can't see me!)

Naoki: "..."

Boy, he thought the gopher had run away!It turned out to be hiding underground!

He yelled, "Gopher, come out, I've seen you!"

Then, Zhishu saw that the little soil bag seemed to be frightened, turned around and went deeper.

Zhishu said speechlessly: "Gopher, don't run away, stay and work, I will provide you with food every day, as long as you can help me plow the land!"

As soon as these words came out, the fleeing gopher stopped.

It carefully poked its head out of the dirt bag: "Zhizhi?" (Really?)

"Of course it's true." Naoki said with a smile, "The thing about you destroying the farmland before will be a turning point from now on. Now I want to officially hire you to work on the ranch. As a reward, I will provide you with three meal."

"Squeak?!"

The gopher was surprised and delighted.

The accumulated word count has been exhausted, and Naoki couldn't understand Gopher's words, but judging from its expression, it should have agreed.

He thought for a while and said, "Then from today on, you can live here!"

Pokémon such as gophers have their nests underground, and they rarely come to the surface on weekdays because strong sunlight will weaken their bodies.

Zhishu paused, and then said: "When there is a need, I will come and call you."

It just so happens that he plans to expand the scale of sunflower planting these days. With the gophers who are good at farming, this work will be much easier for him, and he will be able to open up more land for farming.

In this way, the more crops are planted, the greater the chance that the riding goat's grass field will mutate them.

The gopher squeaked a few times in agreement.

Naoki asked again: "Where have you been these days?"

He took out another handful of melon seeds and started nibbling.

"Squeak, squeak."

The gopher said it's been around here for days because that's where his den is.

In a place that Naoki couldn't see, directly under the pasture, it dug many small passages, which would not go to the ground on weekdays.

Because there was no food on the ground before, until not long ago, the gopher suddenly found that the land above his nest was inhabited by people, and crops were also planted.

It was attracted by the crops, and the rest happened.

Hearing these words, Naoki nodded his head to express his understanding. It is true that they are the last ones to come to this land!

"It's okay, then you can live here!" Seeing the gopher's eyes cast on the salt rocks, Naoki continued: "Don't worry, those salt rocks will not hurt you, they are very docile Pokémon .”

"Squeak." The gopher responded.

167. Chapter 166 Gopher House

The next day, after breakfast, Naoki called the gophers and planned to open up a separate field in the southeast corner of the pasture for planting sunflowers.

After eating the sandwich Naoki gave, the gopher felt full of strength.

Its eyes were full of perseverance, and after Naoki planned the area to be cultivated for it, the gopher started to move.

It retracts its head into the ground, and moves quickly below with incredible movements.

Naoki was very interested in the plowing of the gophers, so he didn't go anywhere, but stood on the lawn beside him and watched.

As the gophers passed by, dirt bumps bulged up on the originally flat land, like complete field ridges.

The surrounding soil becomes softer, making it the most suitable field for farming.

Time passed by every minute and every second, and it took about four or 10 minutes before the field was completely turned over.

The gopher was so tired that he was sweating. He broke through the ground, exhaled tiredly, and then showed an excited expression on his small face.

finished!

How is it, not bad?

The gopher looked hopefully at its employer.

Seeing its appearance, Naoki couldn't help laughing and said, "Thanks for your hard work, gopher, here, this is orange fruit, you can eat one first, and leave the rest to me!"

The gopher readily accepted the berry, and ran to the side, eating the berry while watching Naoki busy.

Planting sunflowers is different from planting wheat. Each sunflower must be separated by a longer distance, so that they can fully absorb the nutrients in the soil and grow up healthily.

With a lot of farming, Naoki has accumulated some experience.

He first judged the distance between each field ridge with his eyes, then dug up the soft soil with his palm, and planted a sunflower seed, and so on.

By the time everything was done, it was already 10:30 am.

The sun was shining brightly, and the temperature in the air was getting hotter.

In this kind of weather, the crops in the field are very easy to dry out and lack water.

Zhishu called Kuailong to let it rain, so as to nourish the fields and let the sunflowers grow healthily.

Kuailong used Pray for Rain.

After a while, there was a light rain in the sky.

The gopher on the side stared dumbfounded.
