Not a trainer this time

At 10 a.m., a group of people began to set up around the stew pot.

Mayor Thomas also arrived here at this time. He was dressed in fine clothes suitable for formal occasions, holding a gentleman's cane in his hand, and followed by a motorcycle lizard.

Mayor Thomas walked up to the high platform on behalf of the entire Ziqin Town, took the microphone from the hands of others, and said in a kind tone:

"Welcome everyone to participate in this year's Thanksgiving, and thank you all for bringing delicious ingredients to this festival. At noon, we will put the ingredients you brought into this big pot. I believe it will be able to cook Incredibly delicious gumbo.”

"However, before this feast officially begins, please wait a moment as our staff is setting up the venue."

Naoki stayed in a place with relatively few people and watched this scene. Beside him stood Pokémon such as Kuailapon, Motorized Lizard, Gulton, Baboo, and Ice Eevee.

The smaller Frost Milk Fairy stood on Kuailong's shoulders.

Naoki cast his eyes on the Motorized Lizard next to Mayor Thomas, and then asked his Motorized Lizard: "Motorized Lizard, is that Motorized Lizard your relative?"

Hearing this, the Motorized Lizard glanced over there, and then nodded happily.

"Gaaao~"

Yes, that's its mother.

Knew it! Naoki thought that the Motorized Lizard had left his parents and came to his ranch since he was a few months old. Maybe he would miss his mother like a human child.

So he took advantage of the situation and asked, "Do you want to talk to it?"

The Motorcycle Lizard blinked, and then said cheerfully: "Gah!"

"I knew it." Naoki smiled and said to it: "Wait, I'll ask Mayor Thomas to come over, so Luton, please help me take a look at everyone."

"Ah gah!"

Upon seeing this, Naoki was about to invite Mayor Thomas over, when he saw Mayor Thomas seeing him in the crowd, and then walking towards here with the motorcycle lizard.

"It's Naoki! You came very early. The banquet hasn't started yet, so you have to wait here for a while." Mayor Thomas said.

Naoki smiled and shook his head: "It's okay. There's not much work in the ranch anyway. I just wanted to find you."

Mayor Thomas was a little surprised: "Did something happen?"

"No, it's just that the Motorized Lizard wants to meet its parents."

While speaking, Naoki looked at the Motorized Lizard aside.

At this moment, the mother motorcycle lizard had recognized her child.

It looked at its child with friendly eyes and found that it was very strong. It could be seen that this human took good care of its child.

Mother Motorcycle Lizard felt happy from the bottom of her heart. She raised her head and let out an excited cry: "Gah!"

The motorcycle lizard also looked very happy: "Gah aw~"

It's telling mom not to worry, it likes its current life and likes Naoki very much.

At this time, an inappropriate cry suddenly broke in.

"Ah gah!"

Hearing this cry, the mother Motorized Lizard turned her head and saw a tall, strong, scary and ferocious Pokémon staring at her.

It was startled and instinctively took a step back.

Seeing this scene, Gu Ledun showed a very hurt expression on his face, and even his tone became very low: "Ah geez..."

"Guluton also misses his mother, doesn't he?" Mayor Thomas on the side finally noticed, and he comforted softly: "Although I don't know where you came here from, your mother must also love you very much. , because there are no parents in this world who don’t love their children.”

"Ah, geez..." Gu Ledun drooped his head and remained silent.

Naoki reached out and touched its head.

So Luton raised his head.

Naoki smiled at it: "Mayor Thomas is right, your mother must love you very much, don't be sad, we are always by your side now."

"Aaaah!"

Therefore, Luton cheered up a little. He looked at the motorcycle lizard again and yelled at it: "Gah...Gah!"

Hearing this cry, the motorcycle lizard next to him looked at Gulton stupidly, with a look of confusion and confusion on his face.

The mother of the Motorized Lizard was slightly startled, and then looked at this big, fierce-looking Pokémon in disbelief.

"Gah?" it asked tentatively.

"Ahhh~" Gu Lerden said cheerfully.

The mother motorcycle lizard opened her eyes wide.

It's just a very ordinary motorcycle lizard that has been living in this ordinary town.

It knows very little about everything in the world. For it, as long as it can accompany its master, it is the happiest thing in the world.

But now, the big Pokémon in front of me is calling its mother...

At first, the mother of the motorcycle lizard was still wondering when she had given birth to such a child, but the other party suddenly said that she missed it very much.

Out of a mother's intuition, the motorcycle lizard mother could vaguely feel her connection with this big guy, just like she could feel the motorcycle lizard.

Could it be that...this Pokémon is also its child?

It looked confused and had no idea when it had given birth to such a child.

The mother biker lizard couldn't understand.

It looked at the Pokémon in front of it, which was very strong and had experienced a lot of battles and training. He hesitated for a while, and then said: "Gah..." (Although I don't know what you encountered, but You must have had a hard time over the years, right?)

In the mother's opinion, only countless scars can create such a powerful motorcycle lizard.

And those scars must have come from countless arduous and difficult battles.

Hearing the words of the motorcycle lizard's mother, Luden suddenly felt the urge to cry.

But it still held back.

Because now it is no longer a weak Motorized Lizard, but a powerful Pokémon that stands upright and can protect everyone.

The Motorized Lizard looked at Guledun like this blankly, and suddenly felt that the current Guledun was a little strange.

Could it be that he wants to compete with it for his mother like he competes with Naoki?

The motorcycle lizard's inner alarm went off for a moment. It wanted to say that this was its mother, but looking at Gulton's appearance, it felt a little hesitant.

Therefore, it took the initiative to ask: "Gaao?"

Guluton looked at his former self, just as the old Guluton looked at it.

It thought for a moment and said, "Ah, geez..."

Hearing this, Motorized Lizard suddenly looked sympathetic.

So Luton is so pitiful...

It struggled in its mind for a while, and then said to Gulton: "Gah!"

In this case, it is willing to share its mother with Guluton, so that it can also have a mother!

At the same time, Naoki had arrived at the back with Mayor Thomas.

He looked at the two barrels of barley beer and the two big pumpkins on the ground and asked, "Mayor Thomas, where should I put these?"

Mayor Thomas opened his eyes wide: "Did you bring so many things?"

Naoki smiled sheepishly: "This year's harvest is good, and my family can't finish it, so I brought it here to share with everyone."

"Hohoho, that's it!" Mayor Thomas laughed: "The things everyone brought are put over there. Special people and Pokémon will handle these ingredients later, wash and cut them Once it’s done, you can put it in a big pot and stew.”

With that said, Mayor Thomas waved his hand, and two enthusiastic citizens came over with their Pokémon and carried the two big pumpkins and beer away.

At this time, there was a sudden noise from the other side of the square.

Naoki was attracted by the sound and couldn't help but turn his head to look curiously.

Mayor Thomas was a little curious at first, but soon he seemed to remember something and grinned: "Oh, by the way, I almost forgot about it!"

"What?" Naoki looked confused.

Mayor Thomas said mysteriously: "You will know later, I have to go over there."

Naoki: "?"

What is so mysterious?

He returned to the group of Pokémon and watched Mayor Thomas turn away with the mother biker lizard.

Then, Naoki saw six monsters carrying a huge object through the crowd and walking towards the center of the square.

The object was covered with a layer of black cloth, making it unclear what it looked like.

I saw the six strange forces carrying the object to the center of the Celebration Square. With a bang, the heavy object fell to the ground. Mayor Thomas stepped forward and pulled down the black cloth with a snap.

This time, Naoki finally saw what that thing looked like.

That was clearly a huge statue of King Lei Guan!

"F*ck!" Naoki was so shocked that he couldn't help but cursed.

Mayor Thomas already had a microphone in his hand and began to introduce this great King of Plenty to the townspeople who were still unaware.

"This year, Zhiqin Town has a bumper harvest of agricultural products! Far more than the next town! I believe everyone must be very curious about this."

"Why do our crops grow better than those in the next town even though we have the same weather and planting methods?"

"Then now, let me introduce you to this great King of Abundance!"

Naoki: "..."

Well, now there is no need for him to help King Lei Guan preach. These later believers have begun to learn to spread the name of King Lei Guan to others.

Mayor Thomas' propaganda was indeed effective, and he had already heard some unsuspecting townspeople start to scream in surprise.

"So, today's Thanksgiving, we not only want to thank the land that has nurtured us, but also thank King Lei Guan for giving us abundance!"

Naoki watched this scene with interest.

In fact, compared to other legendary Pokémon, King Raiguan can really be said to be a very casual god.

He does not need sacrifices or special sacrificial activities. He only needs someone to know His name and His existence is enough.

Moreover, according to the setting of the Pokémon King Lei Guan, the more people know about it, the more powerful it will be.

He doesn't usually need to fight, so what if he can't use up all his power? He will definitely share the excess energy with farmers who know Him and help them cultivate their fields.

This is completely a positive cycle.

It doesn't matter even if some people forget about Him one day, He will not take revenge on mankind.

Because King Lei Guan is a Pokémon with a loving heart, he will even treat the enemy after the battle regardless of any previous grudges.

What a Pokémon!

It's a pity that he ended up being forgotten by the world, and even his beloved horse left him.

Naoki felt sorry for King Leiguan in his heart.

Moreover, a place like the Crown Snowfield is still so cold. Can the grass-type Lei Guan King bear it?

*

At noon, the banquet officially started.

Mayor Thomas stood on a stool and stood in front of the cauldron, putting the ingredients brought by people into the cauldron to stew.

These mushrooms and vegetables are very well-cooked ingredients, so soon, a aroma wafted from the big pot.

Naoki sat at a long dining table with a group of Pokémon.

Sitting opposite him were several townspeople from the town.

After hearing that the young man in front of them was the rancher of Zhishu Ranch, the children of the townspeople became curious about him.

One of the five or six-year-old boys looked at Gulton with his round eyes and asked innocently: "Brother, what is the name of this Pokémon?"

Naoki smiled and explained: "It's called Gulton, and it's a dragon-type and fighting-type Pokémon."

"Dragon-type and fighting-type Pokémon..." The boy thought carefully, and then asked: "Is it restrained by fairy-type and ice-type Pokémon?"

"That's right." Naoki nodded, then shook his head: "However, attribute restraint does not mean everything. Some trainers and Pokémon can win the battle even if they go against the attributes."

The boy blinked and seemed to understand.

A little girl holding a greedy chinchilla next to her also cast a curious look.

Zhi Shu turned his head and looked around. The little girl and the greedy chinchilla immediately asked: "Brother, can I go to your ranch to exchange pumpkin biscuits with you in the afternoon? The biscuits made by mom are delicious! Greedy Chinchilla I like it too!”

Naoki smiled and said, "Of course, I have prepared a lot of pumpkin cookies in my ranch. You can change as many as you want."

Exchanging pumpkin cookies is a custom in this place, and some are similar to children who come to ask for candy on Halloween.

Upon hearing this, several children immediately cheered.

One of the boys accidentally revealed his true purpose: "Great! We can go see Pokémon over there!"

After speaking, he quickly covered his mouth.

Naoki raised his eyebrows, a little surprised.

Seeing this, the boy's mother smiled and explained:

"Because you can often see Kuailong flying over from the ranch to deliver milk in the town. Daqi has long wanted to visit the ranch where Kuailong delivers milk."

Hearing this, the boy named Da Qi's eyes lit up and he raised his little hand:

"Uncle Zack said that there are many Pokémon raised in Mr. Naoki's ranch!"

As he said that, the boy looked hopeful: "Mr. Naoki, can I go visit? I promise that I will be obedient!"

"Of course." Naoki smiled slightly. He still liked these children very much if they were not naughty children.

Moreover, he could see the shadow of Xiaozhi in the eyes of these children.

Maybe one of the children will grow up to become a Pokémon-loving trainer like Ash.

Seeing that he agreed, the boy cheered: "Great!"

At this time, the food in the cauldron has been completely cooked.

Some enthusiastic townspeople took the initiative to serve soup and share it with everyone.

Soon, a bowl of soup was placed in front of Naoki.

Naoki looked down, and the information about the bowl of soup immediately came to his mind.

[Celebration soup (no grade): This thick soup is cooked to celebrate the harvest. It uses a lot of fresh ingredients. Although it has no special effects, it can make people taste happiness. ]
