MTL - Not a Trainer This Time

Chapter 97 Birthday Gift

Compared to the following worst possibilities, Naoki preferred the first one, being subdued by other passing trainers.

 Because at least the baby bears are safe, and there is no need to worry about hunger or illness.

 “I hope it can be safe!” At this moment, Naoki sincerely wished in his heart.

 He shook his head, put the matter aside, and returned to the house.

It happened that Guluton, Kuailong and Motorized Lizard were attracted by the fragrance at this time, and Naoki gave them the baked honey buns.

 The three Pokémon immediately sat on the floor and ate the bread.

　　So Luton and the Motorized Lizard all became upright, sitting together on the wooden floor together with the Kuailosaurus.

 In the middle of them, there is a picnic basket, which is covered with a horizontal striped tablecloth and piled with fragrant buns.

The three Pokémon eat just like humans. They first pick up the small piece of bread with their paws, throw it into their mouths, and happily chew it a few times before swallowing it.

Looking at them eating, Naoki really felt like he had raised three big babies, all of them cute and cute.

"continue!"

 “Mama~”

 Zhi Shu turned around and started to continue making desserts with Frost Milk Fairy.

 With the help of the Cream Fairy, a sweet and delicious cream cake was soon completed.

Zhi Shu cut a few pieces of fruit for decoration, and even used tableware to make some rough lace.

 After everything was completed, the information about the cream cake emerged from his mind.

[Birthday cake (B): A cake made with fragrant cream and finely baked cake base, and decorated with tree fruits, which contains a sense of celebration.

 Cooking effect: A birthday gift, if you give it to a Pokémon on its birthday, you will receive a blessing, which can permanently increase one of HP, physical attack, special attack, speed, physical defense, and special defense.

　　Review: Give it to Pokémon as a gift! Maybe it will bring them unexpected surprises. ]

Um? birthday present?

 This effect is a bit interesting.

  I just don’t know whether the individual value or the racial value is improved. If it is the former, it is fine, but if it is the latter, it is an exaggeration.

But then I thought about it, it can only be improved once a year, and it seems that the improvement will not be too large, so the effect does not seem so exaggerated.

 Especially for him who is not a trainer.

 After pondering for a moment, Naoki thought to himself: "It's better than nothing!"

But the effect of this cake reminded him of one thing.

Thinking of this, Naoki washed his hands, divided the cake into several pieces with a knife, and shared it with the Pokémon. Then he came to the desk, took out a piece of white paper and wrote a letter on it.

The birthdays of most Pokémon in the ranch are nowhere to be found.

Like a mounted goat, a salt stone treasure, or a fast dragon.

Pokémon do not understand the year, month, and day, and they cannot remember the day they were born, so it is difficult to track their birthdays.

 At present, the only Pokémon whose birth date can be traced is Biker.

Therefore, in this letter to Thomas Town, Naoki mainly asked about the birth time of the Motorized Lizard, and attached the ranch’s phone number at the end of the letter so that he could contact him by phone.

After finishing writing, Naoki called Alvin, the postman in the town.

 About twenty minutes later, Alvin arrived here on a motorcycle lizard and took the letter from his hand.

 Sending the letter cost 200 alliance coins, the price of half a bottle of Moo Milk.

“Don’t worry, Mayor Thomas will receive this letter soon!” Ivan said.

So at 5:50 in the evening, Naoki received a call from Mayor Thomas.

As the phone was connected, Mayor Thomas's voice came from the phone: "Is it Naoki? I have received the letter. I didn't expect that your ranch has already installed a telephone. This will make our communication much more convenient in the future." It’s over!”   Thomas The mayor’s phone is not a video phone, but an old-fashioned landline phone, so Naoki can’t see clearly what’s going on on the other side when communicating.

 He nodded and said: "It's me. Good evening, Mayor Thomas."

“Good evening!” After greetings, Thomas began to answer the question in the letter: “Motor Lizard’s birthday... I think about it carefully, he was born on August 20th last fall, yes, that’s the day!”

 August 20th? Doesn't that mean that the Motorized Lizard is only six months old now, not yet one year old?

Thinking of this, Zhi Shu looked at the motorcycle lizard not far away who was eating cake with a mouth full of cream.

After thinking for a moment, he nodded and said: "Okay, I understand, thank you very much."

Mayor Thomas smiled heartily and said: "Haha, it's just a small matter. Keep working hard to run the ranch! The Motorized Lizard will definitely be a good helper for you."

After hanging up the phone, Naoki wrote down the motorcycle lizard's birthday in a prominent place with a pen, and planned to feed it birthday cake on that day.

　　——

Time passed by in a hurry, and in the blink of an eye it was February 24th in spring.

 Today is the day when the cattle and sheep competition is held.

At seven o'clock in the morning, just as Naoki was carding the wool of his goats and preparing to take them to the town to compete later, a long-lost figure suddenly came to the pasture.

Looking at the wolf cub who was in a mess and with dirty fur, Naoki was surprised and at the same time he felt relieved.

The baby bear trotted up to him, stretched out his little paws and spread his palms.

Zhi Shu looked down and saw a clear blue stone lying quietly on it.

That is a water stone.

Zhi Shu was a little surprised, but before he could speak, he heard a "gurgling" sound coming from the baby bear's belly.

 The baby bear looked down at his belly, then raised a finger: "One, one, one!"

Its eyes shone with anticipation, and it couldn't help but swallow its saliva when thinking of the deliciousness of honey.

 Naoki: “…”

 It looks like nothing is wrong.

He reluctantly stopped what he was doing, took the baby bear back to the cabin, took out a piece of pudding from the refrigerator, and took out two honey buns from the cupboard and placed them in front of the baby bear.

The baby bear started to eat voraciously. It seemed that he had been hungry for a while.

Zhishu waited patiently for it to finish eating. When he saw the baby bear stopped, he asked:

“I haven’t seen you for so long. Where have you been these days?”

Looking back on his experiences these past few days, Baby Bear was both excited and frightened.

 After leaving the pasture that day, he thought about many things.

 In order to verify what Zhishu said, it left the mountain and prepared to go to a new pasture to see if it would not be disguised. Would the humans give it food like Zhishu did?

But something went wrong along the way, and it accidentally ran into a human city with many high-rise buildings.

There, the baby bear saw a different scene. It realized that the world was very big, and there were many scenery outside that could not be seen in the mountains.

However, the good times did not last long. Not long after arriving in the city, it was attacked by the local indigenous Pokémon.

It was a group of meows who lived in small alleys and made a living by digging through trash cans.

 It was regarded as an intruder and was besieged by cats from all directions.

At the critical moment, a mysterious Pokémon who calls himself "Hero" rescues it.
