MTL - Not a Trainer This Time-Chapter 385 Friendship in mountains and forests

Chapter 385 Friendship in the mountains and forests

In the middle of July in the year 199 of the Alliance Calendar, when the cool wind from Daguo Lake blew to Ziqin Town, it officially announced the arrival of autumn.

The leaves on the back mountain are beginning to turn yellow, and heavy plump fruits are hanging on the branches. The farms outside Zhiqin Town are filled with endless golden wheat fields as far as the eye can see.

 In this beautiful season, the faces of farmers are full of joy of harvest.

This afternoon, Zhi Shu had nothing to do in the pasture, so he carried the basket into the back mountain.

 This season is the most fertile season for mountain products.

At this time last year, the back mountain was full of all kinds of hazel mushrooms and wild fruits. He also picked a lot and made a chicken stew with mushrooms for the Pokémon.

It's a pity that the fire that broke out later devoured everything in the mountain, and all the mushrooms, fruits, flowers and plants were burned to ashes.

 Fortunately, King Lei Guan came to help revive the mountain forest.

More than half a year has passed, and I don’t know if those hazel mushrooms and berries have grown back.

Thinking like this, Naoki entered the back mountain.

Those flowers, plants and trees that were burned to ashes turned into nutrients for the earth and re-participated in the cycle of nature.

“Long time no see, Chinchilla!” Naoki greeted it with a smile.

From time to time, the sounds of wild Pokémon can be heard in the deep jungle.

 Looking at the tree hole full of fruit, a satisfied smile appeared on the little face of the chinchilla.

Until he returned to his nest, the chinchilla carefully stored the fruits he had picked.

This is precisely because of the forest fire.

The Tibetan chinchilla is picking fruits from the fruit trees. It uses its big fluffy tail to carry the picked fruits. Take them to jump quickly on the big trees.

Soon, Naoki arrived at the forest he planted with the Pokémon in the spring.

At this moment, the Tibetan Chinchilla, who was about to rest for a while, spotted him with sharp eyes.

 “Zhizhi!”

 The Tibetan Chinchilla, the Great Blacksmith, the Family Rat…

The great blacksmith was sitting under a big tree, polishing his hammer with steel energy. He did not stop until the hammer was polished until it glowed.

The stuffed chinchilla immediately screamed in surprise.

 Then, it quickly slid down the trunk of the big tree to the grass, and ran towards this side with its big tail swaying.

 Looking at this beautiful scene, Naoki couldn't help but smile.

The petite family of mice is standing in front of a fallen leaf. The father and mother are using the leaf as a quilt and gently covering their two children.

He has not been here for a long time, but he can see that compared to last year, the vegetation and flowers in the entire back mountain have become more lush and lush.

Thinking of what happened last year, Naoki couldn't help but sigh, for the lost wild Pokémon.

 Along the way, the number of wild Pokémon Zhishu encountered decreased a lot.

　　Probably because the Pokémon ecology that was destroyed here has not yet fully recovered.

 Here, Naoki saw several "old acquaintances".

 “Zhizhi!”

Other Pokémon heard the commotion and gathered around.

 Zhi Shu’s eyes swept over them one by one.

The four mice in the family still look the same, with two mice holding the hands of their parents and staying beside them.

The electric petrel is growing stronger. It has grown a lot compared to last year. It seems that it will not take long to evolve into a large electric petrel.

 What surprised Naoki the most was that the Great Blacksmith had also evolved.

“Great Blacksmith, have you evolved?” he asked.

 “Wow!” The giant blacksmith nodded happily and waved the hammer in his hand confidently. It is now the guardian Pokémon of this forest!

The Pokémon rescued by Naoki last year formed a deep friendship in the ranch. Even after returning to the wild, everyone did not separate, but stayed in this place.

 Like a good friend.

 “That’s awesome!” Naoki praised: “You have become more reliable.”

 He chatted with this group of Pokémon here for a while, and then planned to go to the mountains to pick wild products.

Who would have thought that after hearing Naoki's intentions, several Pokémon immediately patted their chests to express their intention to help.

So, with the help of chinchillas who were very familiar with the mountain forest, Zhishu successfully picked a lot of fresh mountain mushrooms and wild berries.

 In the end, Zhi Shu’s basket could no longer hold it and overflowed.

“Okay, okay, you’ve worked hard today, let’s go back and have a good rest!” Naoki said.

But the Pokémon didn’t feel tired. They ran around happily around Zhishu, picking berries and bringing mushrooms to him, in this way repaying Zhishu’s kindness in saving him.

 Zhishu was slightly touched in his heart.

It happened that at this time, several new trainers who came to visit the King Lei Guan Shrine in the back mountain discovered the situation here.

 They all looked surprised and said in great surprise: "Pokémon is helping people pick mushrooms!"

Hearing the sound, Naoki turned around and saw a pair of trainers, two men and one woman, standing not far away looking at this side.

 They are not very old, they look like they are about twelve years old at most.

The girl in the team asked in confusion: "Are those Pokémon specially trained to pick mushrooms?"

"No!" Naoki replied with a smile: "They are wild Pokémon that live in this mountain forest. I helped them before. In order to thank me, they came here to help me pick mountain products."

 “Wow!” Hearing this, the three boys and girls looked in surprise.

One of the strong young men had a look of disbelief on his face and said in shock: "Wild Pokémon can be so close to humans!"

“As long as you, as trainers, treat Pokémon with care, whether they are wild Pokémon or not, they will definitely feel your feelings.” Naoki chuckled.

 The three boys and girls were slightly startled, with thoughtful expressions on their faces.

Zhishu smiled and immediately prepared to take these mountain goods back to the ranch.

But just as he was about to leave, the young man behind him suddenly called out to him: "Hey, sir, please wait a moment!"

 Zhi Shu turned around: "What's wrong?"

"Um...are you a ranger living near here?" a teenager asked.

"No." Naoki shook his head: "I am a rancher."

"Rancher..." The young man's eyes lit up and he asked again: "Then have you ever seen King Lei Guan? Was this mountain forest really revived by King Lei Guan? Did he really appear here at that time?"

Hearing this question, Naoki was stunned for a moment, and then asked: "Do you like King Lei Guan very much?"

The young man hummed and nodded seriously: "That's right! King Lei Guan is so powerful! His power is so great, and he has helped so many Pokémon!"

"That's right." Naoki smiled and replied: "King Lei Guan did appear in this place at that time, and many people witnessed the process of him performing miracles."

"Wow!" The three new trainers did not expect that the legend was true, and their eyes suddenly shone with excitement.

“If you want to see Him, you can wait until the last day of autumn to come to Ziqin Town. A harvest festival will be held in the town, and people will go to the Fengrao Shrine to worship. Maybe King Lei Guan will show up then!”

Zhi Shu planned to ask King Lei Guan to come over then.

If King Lei Guan appeared at the festival, the townspeople and tourists would most likely think that King Lei Guan showed up because he felt their feelings, and then they would work harder to promote the King of Plenty.

Not only that, [King Lei Guan appeared in front of the believers after feeling the hearts of humans], this kind of thing sounds like a beautiful story of humans and Pokémon running towards each other.

 Then it has been passed down in this place from then on until it becomes a brand new legend.
