Pokémon League Chronicles/Farming, Pokémon Trainer!

"Next...it's time to make a fire."

There is no natural gas in Xicuidi, and there is not even a gas tank.If you want to make a fire, you can only chop wood and light the fire and fan the smoke.Mingyao looked around the entire kitchen and found the corner where the firewood was piled.

He took out a few more elf balls: "The giant pincer mantis uses the cross chop to chop the firewood, the blazing roaring tiger... Well, you are responsible for lighting the fire, but remember to control the size of the fire, don't accidentally burn it." The kitchen was burned down."

The two big red Pokémon responded and reached out to move the firewood together.

Mingyao returned to the chopping board and was about to soak the processed vegetables in water when he suddenly heard two of his Pokémon making a surprised sound at the same time: "Huh?!"

"Huh? What's wrong with you two?" Before Mingyao turned around, he suddenly heard an unfamiliar weak voice coming from the side of the firewood.

"Are they... your Pokémon?" The voice sounded painful: "The big red pliers... clamped my hand."

Mingyao was stunned and walked over quickly, only to see the pincers of his giant mantis grasping a slender white arm and the tearful little face of the owner of the arm, almost about to cry.

Chapter 1 Sure enough, Loli is still indispensable.

Facts have proved that in the Pokémon world, a messy kitchen will not give birth to arthropods such as American cockroaches or Philometella beetles, but will instead give birth to tearful little lolita.

The Giant Pincer Mantis said that he was also very innocent: We were just carrying firewood, who knew she was actually hiding inside?I only have pliers and no hands, can you blame me?

Mingyao sighed, instructing the Giant Pincer Mantis to let go of the opponent's arm and squat down: "Um... little sister, are you okay?"

Although the little girl was full of tears, she still didn't really cry. She just stood up from the firewood pile and shook her head stubbornly.

She was petite and looked to be no more than ten years old. Even if she stood up straight, she could not reach Mingyao's waist.

Her limbs and torso looked very slender due to long-term lack of movement, and her standing posture was not very stable. It looked as if a gust of wind could blow her over like a reed.

This is a weak little girl - this is Mingyao's first impression.

She has a pair of rare green eyes, and her long pale blond hair is piled unkemptly on the back of her head, almost reaching the ground.She was wearing a close-fitting white nightgown that Mingyao could not tell the material.Originally, she was supposed to be a cute and lovable loli, but now she was covered in a lot of wood debris because she had just emerged from the firewood pile, and she looked particularly embarrassed.

After the giant pincer mantis let go, she didn't say anything. She just stood there and looked at Mingyao. She quickly squeezed back the tears that were about to flow out. Instead, there was a trace of "I did something bad accidentally" in her eyes. was discovered.”

"Well..." Mingyao smoothed his hair, trying his best to look like a gentle and considerate big sister, and said in a soft tone: "Who are you? Why are you hiding in the firewood pile?"

Little Loli met Mingyao's gaze and did not answer. Instead, she asked: "Who are you? Why do you come to the kitchen?"

The tone of her voice was as childish as her appearance, but her tone seemed a bit mature, completely lacking the innocence that a little girl of this age should have.

Mingyao was stunned by the contrast, tilted his head and said: "I... am the tenth ranked disciple in the gym now, just call me Xiao Ming. I have something to cook, so I asked the person in charge of the kitchen My disciple borrowed the kitchen key and helped make today’s lunch.”

"Oh, that's it...Xiao Ming, I haven't heard of the name." Little Loli nodded, seemingly relieved.

She patted herself and walked towards the door while saying, "Just pretend you haven't seen me, and remember not to discuss this matter with others in advance. Goodbye."

Her tone is relaxed and cold, which is completely different from the impression given by her young appearance.No matter who came to see him, he would be shocked by the contrast.

Mingyao was also startled, but while being struck by the contrast, he also felt a sense of dissonance in the little loli's movements.

This girl...is she a transgender?

Not only that, Mingyao could also feel that the little Loli's breathing was a little irritable, her movements were stiff, and she was obviously nervous.

What is she nervous about?

Seeing the little Loli pretending to be relaxed but actually walking smoothly towards the kitchen door, Mingyao tilted his head, suddenly squinted his eyes, and said unhurriedly: "Little sister, before you leave, you should tell me Is it something else?"

"Something else?" Little Loli stopped, and the white and tender skin on her brows showed a slight wrinkle: "What should I tell you?"

"Of course it's your name." Mingyao smiled: "After others introduce themselves, you should also introduce yourself, right? Is this polite?"

"Me, my name?" Little Loli was stunned and asked, "Why should I tell you my name?"

"Well..." Mingyao continued to smile and pointed at the food residue near the little Lolita's mouth: "If you don't tell me your name, then how should I tell others who the person in the kitchen is talking about? Woolen cloth?"

"Eh?!" The little Loli was stunned, then wiped her mouth belatedly, her whole body suddenly became nervous: "This has nothing to do with you, right?"

"Of course it does matter." Mingyao sighed deliberately: "I hold the key to the kitchen now, and I am the person in charge of half of the kitchen; and you stole the food in the kitchen and ate what was originally reserved for everyone, I Of course I have the responsibility to pursue you, right? If nothing else, you should at least tell the disciple who was originally in charge of the kitchen what happened, right?"

"Are you going to tell them this?" Little Loli became more and more nervous, shaking her head and saying, "That won't work! I can't even tell you my name."

"Don't tell me?"

"Do not say!"

"Don't tell me?"

"Don't tell me!"

Mingyao thought for a while and called to a certain Pokémon who was watching the show: "Giant Pincer Mantis, pinch her."

"Let me tell you, tell me!" Looking at the large pincers of the Giant Pincer Mantis that were opening and closing, reflecting the hard metal light, the little Loli didn't hesitate at all, and burst into tears: "Listia! My name is Listia!"

"Hey, I just wanted to scare you. I didn't expect you to be really capable." Mingyao was stunned. He didn't expect that his casual words would actually work so well.

"Because..." The little loli who called herself Listia pointed to her arm with tears in her eyes: "It really hurts! Your Pokémon is both a steel type and an insect type. Scared!"

Although she didn't know what the attributes of the Giant Pincer Mantis scared her, but since she was willing to cooperate, Mingyao would not let go of this opportunity.

What is her identity?Why does it appear here?Why was he able to sneak in even though he had the key to the kitchen?Mingyao wanted to ask enough questions to fill a basket.

"Listia, Listia...this name is so difficult to pronounce. I will call you Lily."

Mingyao glanced at Listia and saw that she was looking nervously at the Giant Pincer Mantis, so he casually sent the latter to deal with the firewood, and asked Listia: "Lily, why are you hiding in the firewood pile?" inside?"

"...Eh?" The other party was stunned for a while before realizing that "Lily" was calling him, and subconsciously replied: "Well...I was hungry, so I came to the kitchen to look for something to eat, but when I was halfway through, I found you opening the door and coming in. In desperation, he hid in the firewood pile."

"That's right." Mingyao replied casually: "Then who are you? Are you a disciple of the gym? I have never seen you before."

"I... am not a disciple in the gym." Listia shook her head: "I just happen to live nearby."

Chapter 1: Little Loli, you don’t want others to know about your xxx, right?

"Live near here?" Mingyao thought for a moment: "Are you from a village near here?"

As a settlement with no production function of its own, the gymnasium must naturally exchange materials with other surrounding human settlements if it wants to survive.

Every day, Mingyao could see Shi Er receiving vendors from surrounding villages at the gate of the gym, and obtaining from them the food, firewood, even candles and other daily necessities needed by the gym.

Among the vendors who come to the gym, there are also some parents and relatives of the disciples of the gym. When they come to do business, they will also visit the prison...well, they will visit their children, and they will also visit the interior of the gym. Sometimes Maybe even stay for a day or two.Some younger children also occasionally come to visit the place where their brothers and sisters live, in preparation for joining here and becoming a Pokémon trainer.

All in all, it is not surprising that there are often people other than gym disciples in the gym.

"The nearby villages... I guess." Listia nodded lightly: "I rarely come to the gym, but I didn't expect that when I came this time..."

Mingyao glanced at her: "Didn't you expect that I would be caught stealing this time?"

"Stealing...can't be considered stealing!" Listia's face suddenly turned red and she couldn't help but waved her fist: "I just accidentally got hungry yesterday and wanted to eat something early today, so that's okay Does it count as stealing?”

"You came in even though the door was locked. Didn't you pry it open on purpose?"

"The lock on that door has been a decoration for 800 years. I just opened the door and came in openly!"

"Is that so?" Mingyao was stunned, but then he thought that since this is Ah Shun's gym, it makes sense.

"Then leaving aside the issue of the door, if you don't feel guilty, why did you hide when I came in?"

"This..." Listia was immediately discouraged. She no longer looked as mature as before, she looked like a child who had been caught doing bad things.

She said angrily: "Then can you promise me not to tell others?"

Mingyao looked at her with interest: "Are you afraid that others will know about this?"

"It's not that I'm afraid, it's just a bit troublesome." Listia shook her head: "You know the guy named Shi Yi in the gym, right? If he knows that I secretly come to get things in the gym, he will definitely come to me. It’s so long-winded! Really, it’s enough long-winded in normal times, but what’s the point now?”

I see... Then it seems that Listia must be Shi Yi's sister or some junior, right?If his sister was caught stealing food in the gym, then Shi You, as the head of internal affairs, would certainly be able to teach her a lesson by killing her relatives out of justice.

Mingyao nodded and agreed: "No problem, I can keep it secret for you."

"Really?" Lystia's eyes suddenly lit up, but then she frowned: "No... you tell me."

"What did you say?" Mingyao said inexplicably.

"Tell me the conditions!" Listia folded her arms and looked up at Mingyao: "Since you want to keep a secret from me, then I must also do something for you, right? I read in the book that this is called Deal, right?”

Mingyao was dumbfounded for a moment: "Where did you read some books that are inappropriate for children at such a young age? No need, no need, don't take it too seriously. I just told you that I was going to complain to the disciple in charge of the kitchen. I was lying to you. . It’s just a few radishes. If it’s such a big deal, even Ah Shun wouldn’t be so picky about it.”

"...Really?" Listia continued to look up at Mingyao suspiciously, her tone full of doubts.

"Really, really... Well, if you want to say it, it's not impossible." Mingyao pointed to the Giant Pincer Mantis and the Blazing Roaring Tiger who were chopping firewood and preparing to light a fire: "After you go out, don't mention to others that I have this Two Pokémon, that’s all.”

"Just...that simple?" Listia was suddenly at a loss.

She had not planned to mention this incident to others, and of course she would not tell anyone about Mingyao's Pokémon, so Mingyao's request to her was basically the same as not telling anyone.

"It's that simple." Mingyao waved his hand towards her, took out a few sweet potatoes from the vegetable frame, quickly cut them into pieces in front of the chopping board, washed them, and threw them into the big pot for cooking.

He is a serious person, but he has no interest in saying stupid things like "Lily, you don't want others to find out about your gossip in the kitchen" to such a little loli.

Listia's appearance was just an episode for him, an embellishment in his undercover life this time, and he could just laugh it off.

Listia looked at Mingyao's smooth movements and found that he seemed to really not care about her. She subconsciously wanted to walk towards the door and leave the kitchen.

However, after much hesitation, she did not leave. Instead, she came to Mingyao's side, stood up on tiptoes and lay on the chopping board. She looked at the movements in Mingyao's hands and asked in a confused tone: "What are you... doing?"

"Red potato rice, you can also call it sweet potato rice." Mingyao replied casually: "Not only are the ingredients limited in this gym, but even the most basic things such as oil, salt, and sugar are lacking. There is no other way, so I can only make something simple. Mix some mashed potatoes with it...but it should be better than what the gym usually provides. You should be eating here later, right? You can look forward to it a little bit."

When mentioning the food provided in the gym, Listia immediately made a bitter look on her face: "The lunch in the gym...is terrible."

"What a coincidence, I think so too." Mingyao smiled and glanced at Listia: "Lily, are you still thinking of doing a 'deal'?"

"Yes." Listia nodded stubbornly: "I have read in the book that what you gain must be paid. Since you helped me, I must also help you, otherwise I will suffer retribution in the future. "

"So what kind of books are you reading? They all talk about weird truths... No wonder you are so young but sometimes you are so mature."

"I read all kinds of books. There are many books in my room. My daily life is to read them." Listia said seriously.

Mingyao sighed: "No wonder you look so thin. In Zhu... In the village where I used to stay, children your age played wildly on the streets, playing hide and seek, jumping rubber bands, and even bombing There are people in the cesspit, how can you stay in your room reading a book all day long?"

Listia blinked her eyes and her tone suddenly felt uncomfortable: "Are you saying that it's wrong for me to do this?"

Chapter 1: Intimate Big Sister

"Wrong?" Mingyao felt something was wrong in Listia's tone: "Why did you say that?"

"Because... I have also seen it mentioned in many books." Listia said gloomily: "It is said that people of my age, for the sake of mental health and so on, should play outside with peers, not alone. Stay in the room and read... The same goes for that guy Shi He. He always calls me out when nothing happens, saying that I am unsound and out of touch with society..."

"Where did such a thing come from? Just think of it as nonsense."

"But I personally feel uncomfortable and dislike it...eh?"

Listia was stunned and looked at Mingyao with wide eyes: "What did you just say?"

"Just treat them as nonsense." Mingyao said lightly: "If you don't like it, then just don't do it. There is no right or wrong."

Listia only felt that something was not right about this development: "But, but, according to common sense, you shouldn't mean..."

"What else? What else do you think I would say?" Mingyao shrugged and soaked the potatoes in water: "I advise you to stay in the house less, be sunny, cheerful and positive, and show the vigor you should have at this age?"

Listia didn't speak, but nodded slightly.

She has read a lot of books, including hard-core literature related to various social sciences and romantic novels that young people will love.Among the latter, the most common ones are those in which "the lonely protagonist becomes sunny and cheerful under the influence of love and beauty and other things that are loved by everyone"; and in daily life, there is a relationship with Listia. Most of the people she communicated with expressed their hope that she could change her personality for various reasons.

"If it were to other ordinary little girls, I would probably say this. Because ordinary children generally don't have such complicated worries. Their personalities have not yet been finalized, and even they don't know who they are. What do you want?"

Mingyao smiled and shook his head gently: "But Lily, you are different. You seem to be thinking very seriously and worrying very seriously. You said you have read a lot of books, so your character is better than ordinary people." People are more mature, right?

I respect every self-aware person, especially smart people.I can see that Lily, you are very smart, so I shouldn’t be condescending because you look young, but I should communicate with you on an equal footing.

Since I respect you, I will not judge your character.The development of each person's character is the fusion of his own innate and acquired countless experiences, and no outsiders are allowed to arrogantly point their fingers. "

Listia looked at Mingyao blankly, but saw him moving the two pots to the stove as he spoke, instructing the Blazing Roaring Tiger to come over and light the fire. His tone was calm, as if he was saying something simple and ordinary. It's just logic.

No, if you think about it carefully, this is indeed not a very complicated truth. If you think about it carefully, it seems that similar statements have been mentioned in the books she has read.

But books are just books after all, but this is the first time someone has said this to her face to face, the first time someone has communicated with her normally as an equal and ordinary person, and said that she can live her own life according to her own preferences.The truth is not important, what is important is the encouraging attitude from others.

Listia felt that her little mind suddenly became much smoother.

Mingyao saw Listia hanging her head thoughtfully, and couldn't help but smile again: "So, when I say I respect you, I should also respect your personal habits, right?

In that case, as a deal to help you keep it secret, you can do some work for me. "

Listia woke up from a dream and said, "Work? What are you doing?"

"Take out the trash."

Mingyao pointed to the half-person-high large trash can in the corner of the kitchen, which was full of kitchen waste after Gotha Duck had just processed it: "I remember that all the garbage in the gym was put at the back door. Every once in a while They were burned at the same time, right? I have to cook now and can't leave. If you take this garbage and dump it, you are doing me a favor, and then we will be settled."

"Oh!" Listia nodded subconsciously, picked up the trash can that was almost as tall as her, and moved it toward the door little by little.
