Not a trainer this time

Alliance calendar year 198, end of December.

The Padiya region received a snowfall that lasted for nearly half a month.

A thick layer of snow fell on the road, and the road leading to the ranch was blocked. Even Zach's large truck could not drive in.

In desperation, Zach could only give himself a few days of annual leave, preparing to wait for the snow to subside before continuing to receive goods.

Early in the morning, Naoki took his tools and went out to shovel the snow with Gulton and Motorized Lizard.

He stood in the snow, looking in the direction of Zhiqin Town, and said in his heart that it was true.

As he expected, the road was buried in snow, making it impossible for trucks to pass.

"Fortunately, I have prepared New Year's goods for the winter in advance. There is no need to brave the heavy snow to go to the town at this time." Naoki thought to himself.

In this kind of weather, people stay at home, and few people go out. Even the trainers and travelers who usually travel around the world are all missing.

The road leading to the town was blocked by snow, and with no one coming, the ranch seemed isolated from the world, like a paradise.

Looking around, all you can see is a vast expanse of white sky and earth.

Being in it makes people feel that their souls have been purified.

Naoki was so happy that he stood in the snow and closed his eyes, enjoying the tranquil atmosphere of isolation.

However, the next second, a sound of horse hooves ran past him.

Naoki opened his eyes and saw the snowstorm horse running wildly in the snow.

Naoki: "..."

The quiet atmosphere was instantly broken, and Naoki was forced to withdraw from the mood of enjoying the tranquility.

Not only were the snowstorm horses running around the pasture, but as the snow stopped, the entire pasture became lively.

Smoke rose from the snow-covered roof. It was my sister who was preparing breakfast for everyone.

Babu Groundhog flew out of the living room and flew to the chicken hut to take care of the group of hens.

Ice Eevee took Olinio and Frostmilk Fairy to play a game of drawing with footprints on the snow.

Working Kuailong and Hackron also came to the ranch. Under the leadership of Kuailong, they carried their satchels and fresh goat milk and milk and set off for Zhiqin Town to deliver goods to the customers.

Naoki couldn't help but let out a long sigh. Although the pasture was cut off from the outside world, he was not lonely here at all!

Gu Luton and Motorized Lizard stood beside Zhi Shu, one on the left and one on the right, looking at the lively scene and letting out cheerful screams.

"Ah~Gahsh~"

"Gaaao~"

Naoki noticed that the motorcycle lizard's scarf was about to unravel, so he stepped forward to help it tie it up again.

Gu Ledun on the side also took a step forward when he saw this scene, holding his head high and chest high.

"Okay, okay, let me tie it again for you." Naoki sighed helplessly: "Really, like a child."

"Ah, geez~" Guluton made a coquettish cry.

That look was very much like a big enthusiastic golden retriever.

Naoki pushed its head aside and continued today's work of shoveling snow, while checking the conditions of other facilities in the ranch.

As early as last month when the temperature dropped, he turned on the air conditioning in the chicken hut and Pokémon hut.

During this period, both the hens and the big milk tanks stayed in the air-conditioned room all day and night without going out.

Arriving at the Pokémon hut, Naoki saw the big milk cans inside and smiled at them: "Good morning, everyone! A new day is about to begin!"

"Moo~"

The big milk jugs were lying on the soft hay bed and responded happily.

"very good."

Naoki picked up a comb and combed their fur, then filled the troughs and water troughs with fruits and grass, then said goodbye to the big milk cans and turned around to leave.

Then, they came to the chicken hut.

Babu Groundhog is talking to the hens here.

I saw it standing in front of a group of hens with its arms akimbo, smiling, and kept calling: "Bamo, Bamo Bamo!"

Seeing Zhi Shu approaching, Babu Tubo turned around and flew to his side: "Bamo~"

Naoki asked curiously: "Can they understand what you say?"

Babu Tubo nodded repeatedly: "Bamo!"

These chicks are all his good friends!

Huh? Can Pokémon still communicate with ordinary animals? Naoki looked surprised.

After traveling to this world for such a long time, Naoki gradually learned some information.

As far as he knew, there were many ordinary animals in this world.

It's just a little different from what he originally thought.

There are no large carnivores like tigers, elephants, lions, or sharks. There are only common edible animals like chickens, ducks, geese, cows, pigs, fish, and shrimps.

As for how people in this world distinguish between ordinary animals and Pokémon, it is probably based on whether ordinary animals can use moves?

Although some people also regard some Pokémon parts as food...

For example, Slowpoke sheds its tail regularly, Cod sheds its meat, and Hairy Cliff Crab sheds its claws.

However, even though Naoki has been here for so long, he has never eaten these things.

It's not that he's not a saint, he just thinks that Pokémon's emotions and IQ are the same as humans, and there are still some people who treat them as companions and family members.

Under this premise, if I try to eat them again, I will have an unspeakable feeling.

After a moment of reflection, Naoki said goodbye to Babu, turned and left the chicken hut.

My sister loves to take charge of the waiter and has prepared breakfast.

Naoki took Gullton and Motorized Lizard to wash their paws, and then had breakfast with everyone.

After breakfast, it started to snow again outside.

Naoki had nothing to do, so he simply moved a rocking chair in front of the fireplace, sat there to keep warm, and read a book.

The Pokémon didn't go out anymore. They had nothing to do, so they lay down in front of the fireplace to warm up with Naoki.

It was snowing outside the window, there was a fireplace burning in the room, and even the air was warm.

Naoki turned his head and glanced at the group of Pokémon around him, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but raise slightly.

This feeling... is so great!

"The Chinese New Year will be here in a few days, wow, time flies so fast!" Naoki murmured in his heart.

Before I know it, this first year has passed.

The first New Year in the Pokémon world is a special one for Naoki.

He thought hard about what he wanted to do for the Pokémon to remember in the future.

However, after thinking for a long time, I still had no clue.

All he can do is probably prepare a sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner for the Pokémon around him.

"I happen to still have a lot of ingredients at home. In that case, let me cook all the dishes I have made this year!"

*

In the afternoon, Lei Guanwang's figure appeared in front of Naoki.

He said to Naoki with excitement: "My strength has been restored and I can start the second cultivation!"

Hearing this, Naoki's eyes lit up, and he quickly came to the World Tree with King Lei Guan, regardless of the fact that it was still snowing outside.

Seeing that they seemed to be doing something to the World Tree, Meng Meng and Baby Bear followed curiously.

Guluton, Motorized Lizard, Babu Woodchuck, Frost Milk Fairy, Olinio, Ice Eevee, Mounted Goat, Love to Manage Brothers and Sisters...

A group of Pokémon surrounded the World Tree.

Naoki and King Lei Guan stepped forward. King Lei Guan looked around with a smile on his face, and then, a powerful aura burst out from his body.

The energy full of vitality swept towards the surroundings and turned into a hemispherical energy shield, shrouding the World Tree in it.

In the next second, all the snow on the ground melted, and green grass sprouted from the ground in this vibrant energy storm.

The World Tree is also changing along with it.

Its trunk became thicker, its body became taller and taller, and more green leaves grew on the originally bare branches.

Naoki's eyes were firmly locked on the World Tree in front of him.

Under his gaze, the growth period of this world tree began to change at a speed visible to the naked eye!

[World Tree Seedling: A seed sapling that has absorbed a large amount of power from grass. Because of the goat it is mounted on, it undergoes changes during its growth. The majestic vitality is brewing in it, and finally breaks out of the ground. It is still a long way from growing up. It takes 97995 years. ]

[97980. ]

[97500 years. ]

[96980. ]

…

[96001. ]

[95995. ]

In the end, the number was fixed at 95,995.

The World Tree in front of us seemed to have grown into a tree about 1.8 meters tall, as tall as an adult!

The branches of the World Tree are covered with emerald green and dense leaves, and strands of bright green energy are slowly flowing on it. Just by looking at it, you can feel the extraordinary nature of this tree.

The Pokémon on the side also noticed this scene.

Dreamy and Baby Bear's eyes widened in disbelief.

"One!" (The leaves are glowing!)

"miu!" (Lei Guanwang is so awesome!)

A smile appeared on Lei Guan's face. He raised his head and looked at the trees in front of him with satisfaction, and then exclaimed:

"It's incredible! In just over four thousand years, this world tree has grown into what it is. What it will look like in one hundred thousand years is really exciting!"

Naoki recalled the world tree in the theatrical version, used it as a reference, and replied: "It will probably be hundreds or thousands of meters high, right?"

But as soon as he finished speaking, Naoki suddenly realized something.

If the world tree in front of us can grow so tall, then the pasture will probably be swallowed up by it, right?

This is not good news.

Naoki couldn't help but fell into thought.

"Hundreds of meters to thousands of meters..." King Lei Guan compared the scene he saw when he used Prediction of the Future. He was about to say something when he saw Naoki frowning and tangled.

"Why are you worried?" King Lei Guan asked puzzledly.

Naoki glanced at him and truthfully stated the troubles in his heart:

"I'm thinking if this tree gets that big, the ranch will be ruined."

This is his home and he doesn't want this place to disappear...

After hearing this, King Lei Guan immediately thought of the scene in the future that he had seen through time.

"You don't need to worry." King Lei Guan said: "I have foreseen the future of this tree. After a long time, it will leave the earth, fly to the sky, and finally float high in the sky."

"What?" Naoki didn't respond.

The World Tree...is flying into the sky?

"How did you do it?" he asked in surprise.

King Lei Guan shook his head slightly: "I have no way of knowing. Predicting the future can only allow me to see the ending, but not the process."

Just like how he saw Wuju Taina descending on the Galar region.

"Okay..." Naoki still didn't come back to his senses.

How did such a big tree fly into the sky?

Isn't this too unscientific? Isn't it affected by gravity? Or has anyone installed an anti-gravity system on it?

While thinking, Naoki noticed the tired look on King Lei Guan's face.

"Forget it, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain. Since that is the future, we will definitely find a way later." Naoki said to King Lei Guan: "Thank you for your hard work, go and have a rest! I will prepare grass for you right away. Dango and grass cake!”

King Lei Guan nodded slightly, and then his figure disappeared from the place and returned to the glass flower room.

Naoki also returned to the living room with a group of Pokémon. He let a few Pokémon play by themselves, while he went to the kitchen to prepare snacks and afternoon tea for King Lei Guan that could restore energy.

On the way to deliver the snacks to the glass greenhouse, Naoki saw three mount goats surrounding the World Tree, lying on the grassland spawned by King Lei Guan, chewing something unknown in their mouths.

"...What are you eating?" Naoki couldn't help but ask.

"Yeah~"

Hearing Naoki's question, one of the goats opened its mouth, and a piece of green leaf lay inside.

Naoki immediately opened his eyes wide.

Good luck! The mount goat starts to eat the world tree!

Just when he thought the goat was attracted by the World Tree and took the initiative to eat the leaves, three leaves suddenly fell from the lush green trees.

The three leaves were glittering with green light, swirling and falling in front of the three goats.

"Yeah!"

The eyes of the mounted goats lit up, and they lowered their heads to eat the leaves into their mouths.

Naoki: "?"

What's happening here?

Naoki stared at this scene blankly.

Is it possible that World Tree has its own consciousness? Or is it the will of nature? Or is it the will of the world? It selected the mount goat?

Naoki fell into deep thought, and soon he remembered the original tree of the world in the theatrical version.

It is equipped with a defense system internally. Once it senses an invasion from outsiders, the three guardian pillars will come forward to stop the intruders.

"No way?"

Naoki stepped forward in disbelief and walked to the world tree.

At this time, the World Tree seemed to feel something.

Then, another leaf slowly fell from the tree.

Seeing this scene, an incredible idea immediately came to Naoki's mind.

He had watered and fertilized the world tree with his goat before! So World Tree regarded him as one of its own!

Thinking of this, Naoki subconsciously stretched out his hand to catch the leaf.

He looked down, and the next second, the information about this leaf emerged from his mind.

[Immature leaves of the world tree: mythical items, leaves containing the power of nature. It is a coveted treasure for grass-type Pokémon. It is an extremely rare existence, and the specific effect is unknown. ]
