Not a trainer this time

Alliance calendar year 198, August 16, autumn.

Four days before Moto Lizard's birthday, Naoki began to think about what kind of birthday gift would be better to give him.

This was his first time celebrating a Pokémon's birthday, so there still had to be a sense of ceremony.

However, Naoki thought about it for a long time, but couldn't think of what kind of gift Motorized Lizard would like.

Based on what he knew about the Motorized Lizard, it didn't seem to have anything in particular that it liked and wanted.

How about making the Motorized Lizard his favorite food?

"No, it can't be done." Naoki quickly rejected the idea and gave the Motorized Lizard the food it eats every day. This was not a birthday gift at all.

"What about the training device that can help Pokémon become stronger?"

Naoki recalled it carefully and found that the Motorized Lizard's pursuit of becoming stronger was far less exaggerated than that of the Kuailong.

It may like it, but it only likes it because it is a gift from him, not the gift itself.

So what's a better option?

Naoki sat under the eaves, listening to the sweet sound of the wind chimes above his head, but looking at the motorcycle lizards playing in the sun.

Therefore, Leden lay lazily on the side, closing his eyes and taking a nap.

It seemed that it noticed that Naoki hadn't spoken for a long time. It opened its eyes and looked over, only to see Naoki looking in one direction in a trance.

Therefore, Leden followed his gaze and saw it holding its tail with tears in its eyes.

A salt stone barrier stood aside with an apologetic face, shaking his head in a panic, as if to say that he didn't mean it.

Seeing that his "mecha" had stopped moving, Frost Milk Fairy, who was originally standing on top of the salt stone barrier and driving a cart, looked down in confusion.

"Ah?" Seeing this scene, Luton was a little confused.

Naoki explained: "Salt Stone Barrier accidentally stepped on the tail of the Motorized Lizard. I went over to take a look."

With that said, he stood up and walked over there.

As soon as Naoki left, Guluton also stood up, shook his body and followed him.

The Frost Milk Fairy had jumped down from the Salt Stone Barrier and was licking the Motorized Lizard's wounds.

The movement here attracted the attention of many Pokémon, and both Bing Eevee and Bad Butterfly gathered around.

"base……"

Seeing Naoki coming over, Yanshi Lei, who accidentally stepped on the motorcycle lizard's tail, looked at him apologetically.

"Don't worry, let me take a look." Seeing that it was worried, Naoki first calmed it down and then took its tail from the Motorized Lizard's hand.

I saw that the tip of the originally slender tail was now as swollen as a big pig's hoof, and the white skin was slightly red.

A salt stone barrier weighs more than 230 kilograms, so you can imagine the pain of the motorcycle lizard.

It cried out in pain.

After a brief inspection, Naoki said to his brother who came over: "Bring me the gauze and wound medicine from home and put them on the cabinet in my bedroom."

"Oh." The elder brother nodded calmly, glanced at the motorcycle lizard's tail, then turned and left.

Naoki held the motorcycle lizard's tail and was about to say something to comfort it, when the weight in his hand suddenly lightened.

He was stunned for a moment, then looked down and saw a pale severed tail lying quietly in his hand.

Naoki was stunned on the spot.

On the side, Pokémon such as Frost Milk Fairy and Bad Butterfly saw that the tail of the Motorized Lizard was broken. They looked frightened and immediately let out an exaggerated scream.

"Mama mama!"

"Booy?!"

"base!!!"

Salt Rock Barrier was frightened half to death on the spot. It really didn't mean it!

After a brief period of confusion, Naoki looked up at the Motorized Lizard who was obviously feeling better.

He asked tentatively: "How do you feel now?"

"Quaao..."

Seeing that everyone was worried about him, Motorized Lizard seemed a little embarrassed.

It shook its head and looked at the missing section of its tail in confusion.

After my tail was broken, it seemed like... it suddenly didn't hurt that much anymore.

Naoki's eyebrows jumped.

Could it be that the stimulation of pain stimulated the Motorized Lizard's potential and comprehended tail docking?

Tail Break is a general move. Its effect is to reduce physical strength, create a clone, return to the Poké Ball, and replace it with the backup Pokémon.

In the game, it is a move that only the Motorized Lizard and the Drago can learn.

Naoki checked the cross-section of the Motorized Lizard's severed tail and found that it was not as bloody as expected.

He couldn't help but ask: "Is this a new move?"

Instinct told the Motorized Lizard that this was a move called Tail Cutting, and it nodded, a little embarrassed: "Gahaw..."

Now there is no way for it to be used again. It can only be used normally after its tail grows back.

Naoki had an idea in his mind, and it just so happened that his brother Ai Guanshi ran over carrying a medical bag.

Naoki took out the bandages and healing spray he had prepared in advance, sprayed a few times on the Motorized Lizard's severed tail, and then tied a bow with the bandage.

"Okay, you'll be fine soon."

The Pokémon's recovery ability is very exaggerated. According to Naoki's understanding, the broken tail can grow back within three days.

After hearing this, several Pokémon felt relieved.

Yan Shilei lowered his head with an apologetic look.

If it weren't for it, the Motorized Lizard wouldn't have been injured.

In response, the kind-hearted motorcycle lizard shook his head, with a smile on his face, saying it didn't matter.

The harmony between Pokémon has been restored.

The Motorized Lizard was a little tired, so he found a comfortable place to lie down and sleep.

Although the Motorized Lizard forgave it, Salt Rock Barrier still felt uncomfortable.

From time to time, it turned its head to look at the Motorized Lizard, and even walked more and more cautiously, for fear of stepping on any little Pokémon again and accidentally injuring them.

Zhi Shu and Gu Ledun retreated under the eaves.

Thinking of Motorized Lizard's reaction just now, Naoki couldn't help but said: "Motorized Lizard is really a little angel."

"Ah gah~"

Luton had already gotten used to Naoki's praise of the Motorized Lizard.

Now, while accepting it, there will be a sense of sharing weal and woe.

Naoki was happy: "Why are you so happy when I praise the Motorized Lizard? I remember that at the beginning, you seemed to... really dislike it."

There was a hint of stupidity on Luton's face: "Ah, geez."

"Forget it, as long as you can get along well with each other!" Naoki didn't pursue it. After all, Guluton is a Pokémon with a strong sense of territory. It's good enough not to fight with the Motorized Lizard.

He supported the floor of the corridor with his hands and took a deep breath. Remembering that Gu Lerton usually walked quite close to the Motorized Lizard, he asked:

"By the way, has the Motorized Lizard ever told you that it's interested in something?"

Hearing this, Luden tilted his head and looked over: "Ah?"

Naoki explained: "It's the Motorized Lizard's birthday soon. I'm thinking about giving it a birthday gift, but I don't know what to choose yet."

So Luton understood, and he couldn't help but recall that in the past, when he was still a motorcycle lizard, he had received a gift from Naoki.

At that time, Naoki gave him a scarf and warm clothes specially customized for the Motorized Lizard.

Therefore, Luton still remembered that the clothes were made of the wool of braided sheep. It was like a small vest. Its limbs could be stretched out from the holes. The wool would protect its body and belly. It also wore a scarf. In winter, It's very warm inside.

It liked that outfit very much, but unfortunately it wore it for a long time. Later, the clothes got damaged and had to be mended many times. Finally, Naoki put it at the bottom of the wardrobe.

Therefore, Guluton gave the answer without hesitation: "Ah gah!"

At this time, a gust of autumn wind with a hint of chill blew by.

Naoki suddenly had the answer in his mind.

Warm clothing to protect you from the cold!

He remembered that there were scarves and clothes for Pokémon in town!

Just as winter was coming soon, he could give these to the Motorized Lizard in advance to prepare it for the coming winter.

"Yes!"

Naoki suddenly stood up and prepared to go to the town to see.

The motorcycle lizard's tail was injured and it was not suitable to take him to the town. In addition, Naoki deliberately wanted to hide the motorcycle lizard from him and give it a surprise later.

Therefore, on this trip, he chose to ride a relatively low-key goat to go to town.

Before going out, Naoki did not forget to tell Gu Ledun: "Don't tell the Motorized Lizard what I told you today!"

Gu Luton: "..."

Seeing the old man, Leden nodded, and then Zhi Shu rode on the back of his goat and set off for Zhiqin Town.

It's been a long time since I've been here, but Zhiqin Town is still so lively and prosperous.

Following the direction in his memory, Naoki headed straight to the Pokémon Beauty Shop.

Only here will some Pokémon costumes be sold.

He was received by a Pokémon stylist who was dressed very fashionably in colorful clothes.

"Good afternoon, little brother! Do you want to style this riding goat? Oh my God! Its wool is so lush and soft! Well, it suits the hairstyle I just designed."

As he spoke, the stylist pushed the illustration of Dorimia with a mohawk in front of Naoki.

He covered his mouth and chuckled: "Want to try this popular hairstyle?"

Naoki: "..."

The mount goat understood what this strange man said.

It came up to take a look, and its eyes widened immediately.

"Yeah!"

The green light on the mounted goat began to surge, and it looked at the human who wanted to shave its wool with an unkind expression. It seemed that as long as the other person moved, it would give him a Sacred Sword of Grass.

"Oh haha, don't be angry!"

Naoki couldn't accept these fashionable hairstyles and popular styles. He felt that they were too unconventional and unconventional.

He threw these things behind him and asked: "Is there any clothing suitable for the Motorized Lizard? I want to buy it one for the winter."

"Motor Lizard?" The stylist looked very surprised: "No, we only have some clothes worn by small dog Pokémon."

Seeing this, Naoki knew that he was in the wrong place. He said goodbye politely and rode his goat to a shopping mall that specialized in selling clothes.

However, this time, they still failed.

"Sure enough, the big shopping malls only sell human clothes."

Naoki stood at the entrance of the shopping mall, not knowing where to look for a moment.

Just then, a young female clerk called him from the mall.

Naoki turned around and looked over with some doubts.

The girl asked: "Do you want to buy some warm clothes for the Motorized Lizard for the winter?"

Naoki nodded: "Yes."

Girl: "I'm afraid there are no such clothes in Ziqin town, because clothes will affect Pokémon's daily actions, so except for some noble ladies who pursue Pokémon fashion, basically no one will give Pokémon wear clothes."

"That's it..." Naoki nodded thoughtfully.

The girl smiled softly and suddenly said: "But, I have a way! I see that you have been running on this street for a long time, and you must like that motorcycle lizard. In that case, I will provide you with a direction! "

"What?"

Girl: "Then make it yourself. There are pastures near Zhiqin Town that raise braided sheep that are rich in wool. You can buy some wool from those ranchers, and then find someone who is good at tailoring to customize a piece of clothing for the Motorized Lizard."

This is a good choice.

Naoki nodded, thanked the other party, and while it was still early, he rode his goat to visit the Thunder Ranch next door.

Ray, a rancher who was slightly older than him, received him. After learning about Naoki's intention, he took him to visit his ranch.

"Come with me!" Ray said with a smile.

Naoki responded while observing the ranch.

Thunder Ranch is located under a hillside. Lush pasture grows on the hillside. A group of Braided Sheep and Meli Sheep from the Galar region are leisurely eating the grass there.

"Isn't it very different from your ranch?" Lei asked.

Naoki nodded: "Yes."

He noticed that there were only a few pieces of farmland here, with a dozen or so pumpkin plants planted on them, and there were no cow Pokémon such as large milk tanks.

Lei proudly said: "My ranch is mainly based on animal husbandry and specializes in raising wool-producing sheep Pokémon. The wool on braided sheep is the best material for making clothes. In the Galar region, this kind of wool is used to make clothes." The clothes and carpets are very famous brands!”

"The wool from the braided sheep I raise can be sold throughout the entire Padia region!"

"Awesome!" Naoki praised sincerely.

Compared with him, Ray is really a very good rancher.

He relied on his magical cooking and a group of Pokémon to manage the ranch to this point.

And Lei only relied on his own hands to take care of the braided sheep ranch in an orderly manner.

"Haha!" After hearing his compliment, Lei showed an embarrassed expression: "You want to buy some wool, right?"

Naoki: "That's right."

Hearing this, Lei waved and called over a braided sheep with a round body and cute eyes.

"Just in time, it's time to shear the sheep again."

Lei took out the special scissors and said while shaving the braided sheep:

"The hair of braided sheep keeps growing throughout its life. Even if the hair is shaved clean, it only takes 3 months to return to its original appearance."

"If they don't shave for a long time, these little guys will be unable to move because the hair on their bodies will grow too long."

Lei's shaving technique was very skillful, and within a short time, a complete woolen leather sheath was freshly baked.

Lei picked it up and said, "Look, it's amazing, isn't it? These hairs are very complete and very elastic. As long as you wear them, you won't be injured even if you fall off a cliff."

As he spoke, he patted it and saw the DuangDuangDuang of the woolen leather sheath flicking a few times.

Naoki opened his eyes in disbelief.

So magical?

If you put a mane rock werewolf on it, wouldn't it be able to transform directly into a big bad wolf in sheep's clothing?

"I'll give you a zero, just give me 2,000 alliance coins per catty. Well, these are 6 catties, a total of 12,000 alliance coins." Lei weighed the wool.

Twelve thousand... To be honest, wool of this quality is not expensive at this price.

Naoki thought that he had just bought them all and would save them for making clothes later. He paid the money and hurried back with the wool.

The next step is to find someone who is good at tailoring to customize warm clothes for the Motorized Lizard.

Let me just say this, I saw some readers in the comment area saying that I was acting stupid and not updating.

Because the author was hospitalized, I had a fever a few days ago that turned into pneumonia. I thought it was because I stayed up late typing and didn't wake up, so I didn't have the strength to feel dizzy. Later, when it got serious, I realized, oh, I was sick...

I have recurring fevers. My body temperature has just returned to normal after the intravenous drip in the morning, but the fever broke out again in the afternoon. It’s so torturous, so the quality of the past few days has been a bit poor. I think everyone can feel it...

I'll wait until I'm discharged from the hospital to make up for the updates I owe. I'm very sorry.
