MTL - Not a Trainer This Time

Chapter 20 Building a chicken house

 Two days later, all the trees and rocks in the pasture were cleared away, leaving only a jagged patch of weeds.

The Motorized Lizard was playing in the grass, so Luton stood next to Naoki.

 During this period, the two have been in a state of non-interference.

 Because Guluton didn't know how to face his past self, he always kept a certain distance from it.

The Motorized Lizard was puzzled, coupled with the occasional disgust and sour looks he received from Gulton, as well as the terrifying coercion emanating from Gulton, which made it hesitant to take the initiative to get close to him.

Zhi Shu didn’t know the situation between the two Pokémon. He had been very busy in the past few days and had been working on the ranch.

At this moment, Naoki stood under the eaves, looking at the pasture that he had worked hard to take care of.

 Without the obstruction of trees, the view in the pasture is much wider. Standing from the wooden house, you can have a panoramic view of the entire pasture.

 Finally it’s time!

Zhishu sighed. He turned around and went to the back of the wooden house to count the wood. When he saw that there was enough wood, he was going to Zhiqin Town and asked Keri from the woodworking shop to come over and help build the chicken house.

Riding on the motorcycle lizard, Naoki looked at Gulton beside him and said to it: "I leave you with the task of looking after the house!"

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　…)

Huluton looked pitiful and looked at the Motorized Lizard sourly.

 Naoki: “…”

He reached out and touched Gu Ledun's head and said to him: "Be obedient, and I will take you out next time!"

 “Gah!”

Huluton immediately became happy and licked Naoki's hand like a big dog.

Leaving Guluton at the pasture to look after the house, Naoki gently patted the Motorized Lizard on the shoulder, and the Motorized Lizard started running.

 Guluton and the pasture gradually disappeared behind him, and until they were no longer visible, Naoki turned back his gaze and thought:

“It’s really troublesome not to have a Poké Ball. You can’t take your Pokémon with you at all times.”

Although it was not impossible to bring Gu Ledun with him, that would be too eye-catching, so Naoki still preferred to keep a low profile.

Poke **** are not expensive. This time when he goes to town, he can buy a few and keep them for later use. Normally, they can run freely in the pasture.

 If you need to go out, you can put them in the elf ball and take them with you.

 Hence, as soon as he arrived in Zhiqin Town, Zhi Shu went to a local store that specialized in selling household training supplies and bought a few standard-style red and white balls.

 After that, I went to Zhiqin Market to purchase ingredients for the next period of time, and finally went to the woodworking shop.

 Far away, Zhi Shu saw the proprietress of the carpentry shop, Keri.

She wore a khaki overalls and a pink shirt today. Her pink hair was **** high and her bangs were fixed with a hairband, revealing her smooth forehead.

Keli’s face shape is a standard oval face, perhaps because she has been engaged in carpentry all year round. Her figure looks very strong, and her whole person looks generous and neat.

Kelly was sawing a plank of wood on a wooden post at the door.

Hearing the footsteps behind her, she turned her head and recognized the young rancher at a glance.

"Is it you? The weather is really nice today. How is the work on the ranch going?" Kelly asked with a smile.

"It's almost done, Miss Kelly." Naoki explained his purpose: "I would like to ask you to help build a chicken house."

There was a look of surprise on Keri's face: "So soon? It seems like it's been less than a week since we last met, right? Have you saved enough funds for expansion?" Naoki nodded with a smile: " Because there are motorcycle lizards helping, the progress will be much faster.”

Keli glanced at the Motorized Lizard and understood: "I understand, please wait for me!"

She put down the saw and walked into the house, and soon came out with special measuring tools and an adult motor lizard.

“Let’s go! Take me to your ranch, where I need to inspect and select a site. After you determine the location of the chicken house, I will come over with the construction team tomorrow morning and start work.”

"OK."

Zhi Shu nodded and led the way on his Motorcycle Lizard, with Kelly following behind. About half an hour later, the two arrived at the ranch.

From a long distance away, Zhi Shu saw Gu Ledun waiting for him to come back at the entrance of the ranch.

 Guluton was lying on the grass boredly, but when he saw Naoki's figure, he immediately jumped up excitedly.

Kelly also saw that Pokémon, a Pokémon she had never seen before.

 “Is it your Pokémon too?”

Keli is not a trainer. Her knowledge of Pokémon is limited to those living around Ziqin Town and the Pokémon she occasionally sees on TV.

 Therefore, Guluton was just a strange Pokémon to her, and she did not show too much surprise.

“Yes, thanks to its help I was able to accumulate enough materials so quickly.” Naoki smiled and nodded.

Hearing this, Keli didn’t ask any more questions.

They got off the Motorized Lizard at the entrance of the ranch. Naoki patted Gulton's head comfortingly, and then walked around the ranch with Kerri.

Motor Lizard and Gulledon walked slowly behind the two of them.

Looking at the scene in front of her, Keri praised: "You have taken care of this place very well!"

She fell into deep thought: "I came here when I was a child. My parents specially brought me here to experience the milking activity. The owner of the ranch at that time was a very kind old man, and he entertained us warmly."

"He is my grandfather." Naoki said according to the memory of the original owner: "Because my parents suffered from a special disease and needed to rest in a good environment, so we moved there when I was very young. Hoenn region.”

“I see, no wonder I didn’t see you at that time.” Keri nodded slightly, and then asked, “Have you chosen the location of the chicken hut?”

Zhi Shu pointed to an open space on the west side of the farmland and said, "There."

The location is close to the river. After the chicken house is built, a wooden fence will be built nearby so that the chickens can be released to exercise on sunny days.

Keli took a look. From a carpenter's point of view, the location was indeed very good:

"It's a great site. In addition to the chicken hut, you can also build a water-powered mill by the river. You can put the wheat and corn you grow in and grind it with the help of wind and water flow. The ground flour and corn meal can be eaten by yourself. It can be used as chicken feed.”

Zhi Shu thought: "Water mill?" Will it be given away for free?

Keli saw his thoughts and couldn't help laughing: "That's another price. When you have enough funds, I will come over and help you build it."

 Naoki: “…”

After deciding on the site, Keri took out the tools to measure. After collecting the data, she walked around the ranch under the guidance of Naoki.

 After all, we will need to cooperate in the future, so it is still necessary to inspect the ranch in advance, and we can also help with ranch planning.
