MTL - Not a Trainer This Time

Chapter 360 Kirby

Early the next morning, Naoki rode a motorcycle lizard, put on a straw hat and short sleeves, dressed up as an insect-catching boy in the forest, and went to Sunshine Town next door to watch the insect-catching convention in a very low-key manner.

 When he arrived at the natural park south of Sunshine Town, a large group of trainers had already gathered there.

 There were many boys and girls dressed similarly to him.

Looking at the teenagers holding insect nets, Naoki exclaimed in his heart: Appeared! The bug boy and the boy in shorts!

Zhi Shu blended in without any pressure and stood at the signboard in front of the entrance of the natural park and read the detailed introduction written on it.

Natural Park, a paradise for insect-type Pokémon and grass-type Pokémon, covers a very vast area and is home to countless wild Pokémon.

 This place is somewhat similar to nature reserves in other areas.

Just to protect the Pokémon ecology in the natural park, it is not usually open to the public, and trainers are not allowed to capture wild Pokémon there.

But in order to prevent the proliferation of wild insect-type Pokémon here, Sunshine Town holds two insect-catching conferences every year, allowing passing trainers to come and catch these insect-type Pokémon.

 Further down, there are the types of Pokémon that live in this natural park.

“Hey, the insect catching competition is about to start. All trainers participating in this competition are asked to come to the entrance. We will open the entrance to the natural park soon.”

 Beside this Kirby beast, there were several destroyed empty boxes.

As the entrance opened, the enthusiastic insect-catching teenagers immediately dived in, then spread out to look for rare insect-type Pokémon in various places.

Such as Ultrasonic Larva, Heracross, Giant Pincer Mantis, Flying Mantis, Dajia, etc.

What is it struggling with?

There are also bad boys who deliberately use insect-type Pokémon to scare girls who come with their companions to participate in the insect-catching competition, scaring the girls so much that they scream.

　　This trip was going out, so Leden did not follow.

I don’t know what happened. It has been in low spirits since last night. If you ask it what happened, it won’t tell you.

 Some people also placed bets to compete with their peers on who could catch rarer and rarer insect-type Pokémon.

Zhi Shu looked at this scene speechlessly.

"ah!"

Zhi Shu was wondering if it was because he talked about the Motorized Lizard when he was taking a shower yesterday, which made Gu Ledun angry?

 The girl recognized him and looked surprised: "Are you here?"

Zhi Shu has never seen Gu Ledun like this before. Under the influence of Gu Ledun, he also looked lackluster today.

 Basic green caterpillars, hairy balls, orb silk spiders, Alidos, electric fireflies, sweet fireflies, white butterfly bugs, cute flies, bead spiders, bean crickets, and insect rollers.

Recalling the way Guluton looked at the motorcycle lizard in trance from time to time last night, Naoki couldn't help but feel confused.

The girl was very angry: "It's Kirby! That Kirby stole all the fruits from our trees the day before yesterday. Damn it! Now it's eaten up all the Pokémon snacks we prepared!"

The crowd gradually flocked to the entrance of the natural park.

These naive children…

Zhi Shu was slightly startled: "This is..."

Hunter is a fermented Pokémon. The shell on its body can decompose tree fruits and ferment them into sticky and delicious juice, which is very convenient.

Zhi Shu waited patiently outside. He reached out and touched the head of the motorcycle lizard next to him.

Zhi Shu smiled and nodded, looked down at the empty counter in front of him, and asked, "Are there any snacks and hunting **** left?"

 No, Luton is not the kind of character who gets angry casually.

"It's a pity that there are no Pokémon like Kechu." Zhi Shu felt a little regretful. Otherwise, he could have conquered some Keke and brought them back to the ranch to help them make juice.

Zhi Shu calmly walked to the counter in front of the entrance, preparing to buy a few packs of Pokémon snacks from here.

But if Naoki remembers correctly, there seems to be no Pokémon like Keke in the Padia region.

The Motorized Lizard instantly became alert: "Gah?"

And some relatively rare insect-type Pokémon.

Zhi Shu also came to his senses, thinking something bad had happened, and quickly broke into the camp.

 An announcement came from the venue's broadcast.

　　The staff member responsible for selling snacks is the girl who went to his ranch to order fruit from the trees yesterday.

This morning Zhi Shu wanted to bring it over to play, but he never expected to be rejected by Gu Ledun.

 It doesn’t look like it is angry, but rather like it is struggling with something.

 Carbie:zzZ

The girl went a little crazy: "Ahhh! You glutton!"

“In addition, please prepare in advance before entering the nature park, and prepare enough hunting **** and snacks to attract Pokémon.”

The crowd around was bustling, and the faces of the young insect-catchers holding insect-catching nets showed determination to win.

  In the huge tent, there was a huge Kirby beast lying on it. The Kirby beast fell on the ground and fell into a deep sleep, its paws in its sleep contentedly stroking its bulging belly.

 After saying that, the girl turned around and got into the tent behind.

Suddenly, a burst of exclamation came from the camp in front of them.

 “There’s some left! Please wait a moment, I’ll get it for you right now!”

 She patted Kirby's round and round belly angrily.

 Carbie:zzZ

 Naoki: “…”

Facing such a Pokémon, the girl couldn't use her strength. She took a deep breath helplessly, turned around and said to Naoki:

 “I’m very sorry, Mr. Rancher, there are no more snacks for the meeting...”

Zhi Shu had no interest in catching insect-type Pokémon in the first place. He just came to join in the fun. He didn't pay attention. Instead, he looked at the Kirby in front of him with interest.

“Is this Kirby a Pokémon tamed by the trainer?” Naoki asked.

"Eh?" The girl was stunned for a moment, then shook her head and said, "This child has no trainer...it has always lived in this town."

As the girl spoke, she recalled: "It was about three months ago, right? The weather was still very cold at that time, and this Kirby came to the town."

"It was very hungry at that time. People in the town saw that it was pitiful, so they gave it a lot of food. Since then, Kirby has lived in the town and lived with everyone, but because of The gluttonous habit brings a lot of trouble to the people in the town almost every day.”

“We once asked trainers to see if they could tame this Kirby beast, but the result was not satisfactory..."

"Some trainers can't hit this Kirby. Even if they attack with all their strength, they can't wake up the Kirby and put it into the Poké Ball."

“Although some trainers have subdued them, they don’t have enough food to raise the Kirby beasts, so the trainer who has eaten all the food sends the Kirby beasts back.”

"Although there are still some trainers who can provide enough food, this Kirby sleeps almost twenty-three hours a day and does not help the trainers to fight at all, so..."

 So the trainer also sent Kirby back. Naoki automatically added what the girl had not finished saying in his mind.

 Looking at the Kirby in front of him, he felt that it suited him extremely well. It just so happened that when he was learning energy cubes, he got a Big Eater Energy Cube formula from Yue, and used that formula to develop special delicacies for little Kirby.

Only one of this special energy cube is enough to keep the little Kirby full.

Although Kirby is the evolved form of Little Kirby, as long as you feed it a few more pellets, it will definitely be able to fill its stomach.

And he is not a professional trainer, just a rancher, and there is no need for Pokémon to fight in the ranch.

Of course, what fascinates Naoki even more is the stomach of Pokémon like Kirby.

As the famous Pokémon with a big stomach, Kirby's stomach can digest anything.

It has a strong stomach, and it can eat even some moldy food without worrying about it, and it will not ruin its stomach at all, because the digestive juice in the Kirby's stomach can digest any poison, even if it eats food that falls on the ground. There is no problem with the stuff.

What’s even more exaggerated is that even the poison of the smelly mud is just a seasoning for Kirby’s tongue.

It happened that there was a lack of food tasters in the ranch. Thinking of this, Zhi Shu's heart moved: "Are you still looking for a trainer for this Kirby?"

 The girl nodded, and then suddenly realized: "Are you planning to conquer this Kirby?"

Zhi Shu hummed: "I want to take it back to my ranch."

"Of course!" the girl said quickly, "Then it's up to you!" She looked like she couldn't wait to send this Kirby away immediately.

 Naoki: “…”

This idea is understandable. After all, in ancient times, Pokémon like Kirby were regarded as natural disasters.

 Because in ancient times when productivity was backward, kabi beasts would suddenly appear in villages and sweep away the rice warehouses in the blink of an eye.

It is only now that humans and Pokémon have gradually merged, productivity has been improved, and there is no need to worry about starvation, and Pokémon such as Kirby have begun to be accepted.

"But... how do you plan to conquer Kirby?" The girl hesitated again, because she knew very well how difficult Kirby was.

Naoki thought about it carefully, and then asked: "Have those trainers fought against this Kirby before?"

The girl nodded: "The Kirby beast has rough skin and thick flesh. Even if the attack hits its body, it can only tickle it. Those people use food to lure the Kirby beast into the poke ball."

 “I know.” In that case, he might as well try to tempt him with food.

Zhi Shu looked around and happened to notice a fruit mixing machine here.

Recalling the previously developed Big Eater Energy Cube formula in his mind, Naoki asked:

"Are there any fruits left here? I need two peach fruits, one orange fruit, one inkberry, two tomato fruits, and one banana fruit."

"Yes!" The girl nodded quickly. She rummaged through the cardboard boxes on the side and quickly found all the required materials: "These are the leftover tree fruits for making snacks."

Zhi Shu reached out to take it, and then began to make the required energy cubes.

 About half an hour later, a pot of steaming energy cubes came out of the oven.

[Elementary Big Eater Energy Cube (c+): Cooking effect, Big Eater is an energy cube that can bring satiety to Pokémon. Only one is needed to eat Pokémon like Kirby. full. ]

 It’s done!

Zhi Shu took out the six energy cubes inside.

 He was about to turn around when he suddenly felt a huge black shadow covering him.

Zhi Shu turned around and saw that the Kirby beast had woken up at some point and was looking at the energy cube in his hand with squinted eyes.

“Want to eat?” Naoki asked, picking up an energy cube and handing it over.

 Kabimon looked down, then caught it with its claws and threw it directly into its mouth.

 Chew chew.

 The energy cube was bitten into pieces and swallowed into its stomach, and the compressed energy contained in it immediately expanded. Kirby soon felt a sense of relief from filling its stomach.

His eyes lit up and he continued to look at the food in the hand of the human in front of him.

Naoki did not give it to it immediately, but stretched out his hand towards Kirbymon, wanting to touch it.

Although Kirby is lazy and greedy, it is not a fool.

Faced with this scene, it stretched out an arm directly, hugged the human, held him in its arms, and let him sit on its arms.

 Zhi Shu was startled.

 But he soon discovered that Kirbymon had no ill intentions.

The **** the side also smiled and said: "Don't worry, this Kirby has a very docile temperament. It won't be angry even if the children in the town use its big belly as a playground."

 “Open your mouth.” Naoki demonstrated: “Ah!”

 Carbiemon opens its mouth wide.

 Zhi Shu threw the energy cube in.

 The Kirbymon continues to chew.

After eating a few energy cubes, Kirby was a little full. It yawned lazily, rubbed its eyes, then sat down on the ground, lay on its back, and casually put Naoki on its belly. Then he continued to fall asleep.

 Naoki: “…”

While Kirby was still asleep, he knelt down on its belly and asked: "Hey, Kirby, do you want to come with me? Come and stay at my place. I will make this kind of food for you every day. eat!"

 Carbie:zzZ

Zhi Shu asked tentatively: "If you don't say anything, I'll just assume you agree, huh?"

 Carbie:zzZ

The girl thought of Kirby's reaction just now, and said with a smile: "It seems that it likes you very much! Kirby has never treated the previous trainers like this."

 Looking at the sleeping Kirbymon, Naoki felt very complicated.

　　He took out an empty red and white ball from his pocket, and then tried to aim it at Kirbymon's forehead.

The next second, Kirbymon's hill-like body turned into a red light and was taken into the elf ball.

The elf ball shook slightly twice, and then stopped.

 This means that the conquest is successful.

Seeing that the Poké Ball stopped shaking so quickly, Zhi Shu couldn't react for a while.

 Have you conquered this Kirby in this way?

 Forget it, no matter what, as long as the conquest is successful.

　　Naoki stood up from the ground holding Kirbymon’s poke ball.

 The girl looked at the elf ball with some worry on her face: "Well, Mr. Rancher..."

 “What’s wrong?” Naoki noticed the expression on her face.

The girl pursed her lips, and then said: "This Kirby beast will eat a lot, and it may scare you. If you regret it by then, please don't release the Kirby beast into the wild. You must give it to us." Send it back.”

“Although it is very greedy and often brings a lot of trouble to people in the town. It will also break into shops and eat up all the food, but no one wants to hurt it..."

Hearing these words, Naoki was slightly startled, then smiled and nodded: "Don't worry, I will take good care of Kirby!"
