Not a trainer this time

Seeing that Dr. Oak and Watari quickly accepted the setting that he could understand Pokémon's speech, Naoki couldn't help but mutter in his heart that it was indeed the Pokémon world.

It seems like anything can happen in this world.

The dinner party gradually came to an end, and the voices of many guests toasting and laughing gradually became quieter.

Naoki glanced at the time and realized to his surprise that it was already 10:30 pm.

Time flies too fast, right?

Frost Milk Fairy and Baboo yawned sleepily. Seeing this, Zhi Shu took a few Pokémon back into the Poké Balls and let them go to sleep.

As the host of the banquet, Boss Ju began to see off all the guests.

Dr. Du and Omu are also preparing to leave.

As the champion of the Kanto League, Watari's work is not easy on weekdays. In addition to handling various affairs of the league, he also has to work part-time as a justice investigator, investigating Team Rocket who are active throughout Kanto.

After saying goodbye to Naoki, Watari shook the cloak behind him coolly, turned around and walked into the dark night.

Dr. Oki looked at the Gullton beside Naoki and invited him:

"Naoki, if you have time in the future, you can go to Dr. Oki's Research Institute in Zhenxin Town, Kanto Region. I will entertain you and the little ones well then."

Really new town?

Hearing this, Naoki's heart moved. That was a famous place in the anime, Ash's hometown! He quite wanted to check in and visit.

But if you think about it carefully, the Kanto region is on the other side of the planet. It will take a lot of time to go there, so let’s wait until later!

With this thought in his mind, Zhishu Mian responded politely: "Okay, I will definitely bring everyone in the ranch to visit you then."

Dr. Oak immediately laughed happily.

The Pokémon in Naoki Ranch must be more Pokémon that are not found in the Kanto region!

As a doctor who specializes in Pokémon, Dr. Oak simply cannot refuse this kind of thing.

If Naoki didn't have a ranch at home that could accommodate so many Pokémon, he would have even wanted to invite Naoki to send the tamed Pokémon to the research institute, where he would help take care of them.

Dr. Oak: "Okay, that's it for today! I'm going back to Zhenxin Town, and I'm going to the Johto area to attend a Pokémon lecture in a few days. You should go back and rest early!"

Naoki nodded and watched Dr. Ohki turn around and leave, with a thoughtful expression on his face.

Dr. Oak, who studies Pokémon...the authority in Pokémon research...

If you bring King Raiguan to visit him, then ask Dr. Oak to upload King Raiguan's appearance and information to the Pokémon Pokédex, or publish it in the form of a paper.

Will it allow more people to know about the existence of King Lei Guan, thereby increasing more faith in King Lei Guan?

The answer is obvious, it works.

It's a pity that King Lei Guan didn't come this time. Thinking of this, Naoki couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

But it doesn’t matter, there will be many opportunities to carry forward the Lei Guan Divine Religion in the future.

Naoki turned around and looked around, but did not see Adek. He probably went to chat with other people.

He had nothing to do, so he simply leaned on Gulton's body and waited for Adek.

Sirona and Cattleya seemed to have left, and Nemo and her father were nowhere to be seen.

Naoki looked around, and then saw Sakaki, who had changed into a suit, walking past not far away.

Sakaki changed into a brown suit. He had deep facial features and sharp eyebrows. He looked very elite and really looked like a powerful entrepreneur.

He didn't stop and left the manor straight with strong steps.

Looking at Sakaki's back, Naoki sighed: "Tsk, your aura is so strong!"

"What's so strong?"

At this time, Adek finally finished his work and came over to find Naoki.

"It's nothing, I just think that person has a strong aura." Naoki withdrew his gaze from Sakaki.

Adek followed his gaze and saw only a strange back figure, unable to recognize the man's identity.

"Are you done?" Naoki asked.

Adek nodded, left the manor with Naoki, and got into a taxi heading to the hotel.

On the way, he asked: "It's over! Do you plan to go back to Padea directly? Or are you going to spend a few more days in the Hezhong area?"

Naoki thought of the legendary Pokémon in the Hezhu area. Currently, the one he could easily come into contact with was Kyurem who lived in the Giant's Cave.

After thinking for a while, Naoki asked: "Is Gongmu Town far from Fanba City?"

"Longmu Town?" Adek was a little surprised: "That place is in the northeast of Hezhong! It's still some distance away from Fanba City. What's wrong? Do you want to go there?"

Naoki explained: "I once heard the story spread over Gongme Town, and I was very interested in that story, so I wanted to go there and take a look."

Stories circulating in Longmu Town? Adek was a little confused at first, but soon a look of realization appeared on his face.

"Are you talking about the legend of the giant man-eating beast?"

Rumor has it that a long, long time ago, a meteorite fell from space and landed in the towering mountains in the north of Longmu Town.

There is a ferocious and terrifying giant beast inside the meteorite. It is said that the giant beast will appear in the town at night, accompanied by the cold wind, snatch people and Pokémon and eat them.

In order to prevent this from happening again, the residents of the town built a wall around the town and established rules prohibiting going out at night to encourage people to stay at home.

In modern times, even though some townspeople no longer believe this story, they still stay at home at night and rarely go out.

"Mr. Adek also knows that story?" Naoki asked.

Adek hummed and replied with a smile: "Before I became the champion of the Unova League, I was traveling around the Unova region like those trainers. What you are interested in should be in the story. That giant man-eating beast, right?”

Naoki asked with great interest: "Do you think that giant beast can be a Pokémon?"

"I don't know about that." Adek spread his hands: "After all, no one has seen that giant beast, and some people say that the story was made up by adults to scare children and make them go home and sleep after dark. of."

Naoki had never been to the real Gongme Town. He thought of the legendary wall surrounding Gongme Town and asked, "Is the outside of Gongme Town really surrounded by a wall?"

Adek shook his head: "No, maybe there once was, but it was demolished later. Now Longmu Town is just an ordinary small town, no different from Zhiqin Town."

"Is that so..." Naoki said nothing more.

The taxi stopped next to the hotel. Adek looked at Naoki and Gulton and smiled:

"Go and have a good sleep first! Let's make a decision after waking up tomorrow!"

"That's fine." Naoki nodded, then said goodbye to Adek, and took the hotel elevator to his room.

After a simple wash, he lay on the bed and thought about his next plan.

It has been almost a week since we left here. If we go to Longmu Town, including traveling and searching, we don’t know how long it will take.

The most important thing is that the north of Longmu Town is an endless stretch of towering mountains, which is extremely vast. If a person goes in and fumbles blindly, it is basically difficult to find the specific location of the Giant's Cave.

And the compatibility between Kyurem and the ranch is not very high...

Thinking of this, Naoki had the answer in his mind.

"Forget it, the harvest from this trip is already very rich."

Not only did he learn how to make energy cubes, but he also gave away the plan for the Rotom mobile phone...

If we put it off any longer, it feels like it will take a month to finish. For such a long time, everyone in the ranch might be worried to death.

The food left in the refrigerator has probably been almost eaten by several Pokémon. Although the two Pokémon are very good at doing housework and managing the pasture, it is still too difficult for them to take money to the town to buy ingredients.

And the barrels of fruit wine brewed in the cellar last month are about to mature.

He has to go home.

With the answer in his mind, Naoki calmed down, closed his eyes with peace of mind, and prepared to take a boat directly from Fanba City to Padea tomorrow.

After a night of silence, Naoki told Adek his plan early the next morning.

Regarding this, Adek looked regretful: "I also want to take you for a nice stroll around Hezhong and eat Feiyun ice cream!"

Naoki smiled and said: "When I get the chance next time, but I can't come here, Mr. Adek can go to Padia as a guest."

Hearing this, Adek immediately laughed bitterly: "I may not have time later! As soon as those four guys heard that I was back, they all gave up their plans and left a lot of things to me."

"Cattleya took Wanlong and Sirona to her villa for vacation last night."

Naoki: "..."

Why does he feel that compared to Yeci and Adek, Sirona, the Sinnoh champion, is so relaxed?

Daigo too... let alone Karuna, who still has time to shoot a movie and have afternoon tea.

Naoki patted Adek on the shoulder and said sympathetically: "Thank you for your hard work!"

Adek let out a series of sighs: "Oh, this champion is really not for anyone. If someone can defeat me, I will learn from you in the future and take the Vulcan Moths back to my hometown to live a leisurely life."

Naoki smiled slightly: "It will be soon. Maybe in a few years, a new United Champion will be born."

Counting the time, Alice will soon be ten years old.

"I'll lend you some good words!"

Adek sent Zhi Shu to the pier, bought him a ticket directly to Padea, and sent him on the boat.

The melodious whistle sounded, and with bursts of white smoke blowing into the blue sky, the luxury cruise ship docked at the pier gradually sailed towards the sea.

Naoki stood on the deck and waved goodbye to Adek: "Goodbye, Mr. Adek!"

Adek crossed his arms and watched the ship go away: "Goodbye." My friend.

When the ship gradually disappeared into the sea, Adek withdrew his gaze.

He looked at the Vulcan Moth beside him, who was as warm and dazzling as the sun, and his inner gratitude to Naoki turned into a thousand words.

If Naoki hadn't extended a helping hand to them, given Vulcan Moth's situation at the time, he probably wouldn't have been able to survive this moment.

As if feeling the trainer's mood, the Vulcan Moth flapped its wings gently, silently comforting Adek.

Adek closed his eyes and took a deep breath. When he opened them again, his eyes were clear.

"Phew - it's time to go, old friend, we have to get serious and do what only we can do!"

The relationship between a trainer and Pokémon is definitely more than endless battles.

In addition, trainers should pay more attention to maintaining relationships with fellow Pokémon around them.

The first thing Adek did when he returned to the Unova Alliance was to hold an exchange meeting for all trainers in the Unova region through the TV station.

In the studio, Adek and Vulcan Moth faced the camera and told their story with Vulcan Moth in a sincere tone.

"...When I saw the Vulcan Moth, who had been with me for many years, become so weak, I felt that my life was going to be ruined." Adek said.

"The relationship between trainers and Pokémon is definitely more than endless battles. I tell you as a person who has experienced it. I hope that every trainer in the Hezhong area can treat the Pokémon companions around him well."

"If nothing else happens, they will accompany you for the rest of your life. They are the ones who will accompany you the longest in the world, apart from your parents."

"Nothing will stay strong forever, and the lives of Pokémon will not last forever, but the time and memories living with them are eternal happiness for us."

Adek's words are sincere and every sentence is from the bottom of his heart.

Some trainers who watched the show were moved to tears uncontrollably.

These young boys and girls, not yet over twenty years old, turned to look at the Pokémon around them.

After this point in the championship, they quickly realized in advance the importance of the Pokémon they captured during their travels to them.

They will accompany each other and spend their lives together.

This kind of relationship and bond is, in some ways, even more than a partner.

The ship Naoki was on had not yet left Hezhong waters.

Through satellite equipment in space, the TV on the ship successfully received program signals from the Unova area.

Looking at Adek and Vulcan Moth on the screen, Naoki and a group of Pokémon around him were also affected by those sincere words and were slightly moved.

But soon, Naoki thought of something more interesting.

The plot of the Unova region has been changed.

Because of his intervention, Vulcan Moth did not die, and Adek not only did not sink, but instead became more focused on maintaining the feelings and bonds between humans and Pokémon.

It can be seen from his actions today that in the future Adek will definitely convey his insights and beliefs to every trainer in the Hezhong region.

"I don't know if Plasma's [Pokémon Liberation Speech] can have such a big impact as in the game under this situation..."

Adek's strength has not declined, so he will not necessarily lose to N in that championship battle where faith is on the line.

Maybe one of the real dragon Leshiram and the ideal dragon Zekrom will choose Adek.

What the future of the Hezhong region will look like is really exciting!

Tangcao Town, in front of a convenience store on the street.

A man with fair skin, long light green hair, and a black peaked cap stood in front of the glass display window of the shop.

He looked through the glass display window at the TV screen playing the program on the wall of the store.

After a moment, the man lowered his head slightly, and the shadow cast by the brim of his hat obscured his face, making it difficult to see clearly. Then, he turned and left.
