MTL - Not a Trainer This Time

Chapter 14 New members of the ranch +1

The next morning, when Naoki opened his eyes, he heard the patter of rain coming from outside.

Looking out through the window, you can see that the world outside is gray and the sky is dark.

It's raining.

 The spring rain continued, covering the crops that had just been planted.

 “It saves me the time of watering.” Naoki thought.

 On a rainy day, Naoki didn't want to go out to fish or pick mountain products because his feet were covered in mud, so he didn't choose to go out.

Instead, he stayed at home and renovated the old house, changing the positions of the furniture according to his own preferences.

Move the desk under the window so that he can have a wider field of vision when reading in the future, without being as depressed as before.

The position of the bed has not moved. Leaning against the corner can give him a sense of security.

 As for the cabinets…

Zhi Shu circled around it, and finally planned to move it to the other side to separate the seating area from the kitchen.

Just when Naoki directed Gullton to move the cupboards away, he was surprised to find a dusty fireplace behind.

The fireplace was dark, with some burnt marks still remaining.

Zhi Shu leaned in and took a look, and soon found that the fireplace seemed to be working normally.

Since he had nothing to do, he simply started cleaning up the remaining old plant ashes in the fireplace.

Soon, the fireplace was cleaned up. Looking there, Naoki couldn't help but think to himself: "This is really a big surprise!"

 In this way, in winter, he can light the fireplace to increase the temperature in the house without worrying about freezing.

As an ordinary social worker living in modern times, this is the first time he has seen such a thing as a fireplace.

 Speaking of the fireplace, Naoki remembered the fairy tales he read in storybooks when he was a child.

 What a warm picture of a mother bear sitting in front of the fireplace knitting a sweater for her little bear in the forest, while the little bear is playing with a ball of yarn next to it.

Not to mention, that kind of life is really exciting.

Of course, it would be nice to have a few more Pokémon.

Like the cute Eevee, the warm Vulpix, the cute Pikachu, the tender pink Meowth, etc.

 “This is the real life!”

 Zhi Shu couldn't help but sigh.

If he hadn’t traveled through time, he would probably be catching the subway to go to work in the heavy rain, right?

 However, the past is in the past, not to mention that there is nothing worth remembering there.

 Seizing the moment is the most important thing.

Zhi Shu shook his head. The room was a little stuffy, so he opened the door and let the wind blow in.

With the cool wind blowing, Naoki sat at his desk and began to flip through the "Pasture Encyclopedia" and read the information about spring crops.

 Including how to fertilize, growth cycle, number of harvests, etc.

Motor Lizard and Gu Ledun did not disturb him from reading, and lay quietly by the door listening to the rain.

 At this moment, Luton seemed to feel something.

It suddenly straightened up and took two steps forward.

 “Ghiss?”

Zhi Shu turned his head when he heard the sound, and when he saw the old man, Leden stuck his head out of the door and looked to the side.

"What's wrong?"

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　ifies.

Hunterton tilted his head and looked at the familiar green caterpillar.

Seeing its movements, Naoki also stood up and stepped forward to check.

Looking at the green caterpillar huddled under the eaves, soaked by the rain, Naoki showed a surprised expression on his face.

"Green Caterpillar?" As if hearing his voice, the green caterpillar opened its eyes weakly and looked over.

 “hiss…”

Seeing this scene, a bold idea immediately came to Naoki's mind.

This green caterpillar could not be the one he used to test the effect of glutinous rice dumplings yesterday, right?

What does it mean to follow?

Naoki was surprised in his heart. He observed the condition of the green caterpillar and saw that it seemed to be very weak. He took it into the room, helped it dry the rain on its body, and then took out an old blanket and wrapped it in it. in.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　ification

Seeing this human action, the green caterpillar's eyes were filled with gratitude.

 It followed us yesterday.

 But due to the slow speed and the attacks from some Pokémon on the way, it arrived here only after dark.

Those Pokémon are very strong. The green caterpillar could only run away from them before, but after eating the magical fruit, it gained the ability to fight them.

　　Although it is not enough to defeat those guys, the tough worm silk can trap them inside.

Seeing his own strength made the green caterpillar even more grateful to the human being who helped him.

It wants to become stronger and make all Pokémon dare not look down upon itself, so it is here.

 But he was worried that he would disturb the other party, so the green caterpillar stayed outside the door.

 Zhi Shu brought a plate of hot juice that could warm the body and placed it in front of the green caterpillar.

Watching the green caterpillar drink the juice, Naoki thought about the green caterpillar's behavior and wondered whether this guy was deceived by him and wanted to travel with him like Ash Ketchum's Heracross in the anime, right?

 After pondering for a moment, Naoki asked tentatively: "Do you want to choose me to be your trainer?"

The green caterpillar stopped drinking water, felt its warm body, and nodded repeatedly: "Uh-huh!"

"But I'm not a trainer!" Naoki spread his hands: "As you can see, I'm just an ordinary rancher, and I don't know how to train Pokémon."

As for training Pokémon, he only has a lot of theoretical knowledge. He only has a lot of theoretical knowledge from watching anime and has never practiced it himself.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　ification

The green caterpillar looks a little sad.

Zhi Shu scratched his head. As expected of the Pokémon world, even a bug is so smart.

In order to become stronger, this green caterpillar took the initiative to follow him, and also learned from Yang Shi, Chengmen Lixue...

It would be too unreasonable if he didn't show something.

Zhi Shu fell into deep thought.

Although the Green Caterpillar Pokémon is very weak, the Bad Butterfly after it evolves is quite good. It can help spread pollen to crops in the pasture and help them grow.

Thinking of this, Naoki added: "I'm not a trainer, so I can't treat you like a trainer training Pokémon, but I may use other methods to help you become stronger. Even so, you still have to follow me. ?"

There are so many types of dishes. Maybe one day in the future, he will make dishes that can enhance the abilities of bad butterflies or green caterpillars.

But the probability is not 100%, so Naoki used the word "possible".

If the green caterpillar is willing, he will let it stay in the pasture and help with the work.

The green caterpillar understood the meaning of these words. It lowered its head and looked at the blanket wrapped around it, and then at the juice in front of it that could warm its body.

This human being is so good!

Not only did he save it from being injured in the wild, but also gave it the fruit that made it stronger. Not only that, but now it also provides it with blankets and food.

At this moment, the green caterpillar no longer chooses this human just to become stronger.

 —It likes this human being.

Thinking of this, the green caterpillar nodded.

 “Hiss~”
