Not a Trainer This Time - Chapter 369

 Chapter 369 Ibrahimovic’s evolutionary goal! Kirby’s special energy cube is born! (7000)

 In the year 199 of the Alliance Calendar, it was early May and the weather was fine.

The summer is hot, and the breeze with a hint of heat blows through the vibrant farmland.

 The harvest season has arrived in the pasture, with the fragrance of tree fruits and the fragrance of green grass bathing in it.

 In the morning, Naoki put on a straw hat, picked up an electric clipper, and went to help trim the wool of the braided sheep.

 Half a month has passed since their arrival. The wool of the braided sheep has grown extremely fast, and it has now grown to a thick layer.

Coupled with the hot weather, these braided sheep were all suffocated and looked listless.

Zhi Shu opened the fence gate at the entrance of the braided sheep, and helped the braided sheep one by one to cut off the thick and dense hair on their bodies.

 At the beginning, Naoki’s craftsmanship was still very unfamiliar, so he went to the rancher next door who raised Pokémon like braided sheep for advice.

 After practicing hard, I finally mastered the skills of shearing wool.

 The work of pruning seems simple, but in practice it is very tedious and meticulous.

 In this way, a complete piece of braided sheep wool is trimmed.

In some big cities in the Padia region, handmade woolen products like this are very expensive and can often be sold at a good price in the market.

In the corner of the living room, Bingyibu hid behind the wall, only showing half of his face for secret observation.

 Fertile pastures, blooming wild flowers, braided sheep in wooden fences, butterflies attracted by the fragrance of flowers…

 So even if one suddenly disappears, Naoki is used to it, unless they haven’t come back during mealtime.

 They usually move in groups and like to imitate the behavior of their owners or the leader of the group.

 The green wilderness is full of vibrant scenes.

 Putting the wool into the warehouse, Zhishu returned to the living room, ready to rest for a while and drink a glass of water before doing other work.

Holding Ibrahimovic in his arms, Naoki opened the book and looked at the contents with it.

 Eight braided sheep lined up, walking in uniform posture on the hillside, like soldiers in formation.

 In this regard, Ibrahimovic looked puzzled: “Buyi?”

 If a few more come, he may really go to heaven.

 First of all, prepare special electric clippers in advance.

His Pokémon would go to play in various places on weekdays, and they could be seen in every corner.

 The thick wool was sheared, and the braided sheep felt much lighter and less stuffy, which made their mental state more active.

 This is the characteristic of Pokémon like Braid Sheep.

However, after pruning, looking at the refreshing group of braided sheep in front of him, Naoki was very happy.

 Its author is an Ibrahimovic lover named Ibrahimovic.

Zhi Shu touched their heads one by one, then walked to a corner of the living room, opened the refrigerator, took out a bottle of ice-cold soda and poured it into his mouth.

 Hence the whole process, you have to be alert and focused, and not be able to shear the wool.

As soon as he entered the house, several Pokémon rushed towards him.

Zhi Shu liked this the most. He immediately picked up Ibrahimovic by his front paws and started playing with him.

 After trimming the abdomen, go up the waist and trim from the lower part of the back to the neck of the braided sheep.

 He smiled, then returned to the front holding the wool on the ground.

Then let the braided sheep get into a sitting position, starting from the heels of the forelimbs, then push it along the thighs to the belly, and then push it all the way down to the heels of the hind legs.

 Looking at the time, the whole process had lasted nearly two hours.

 It didn’t feel that there was no Pokémon of the same type before, but now there was another Eevee suddenly in the pasture, and Ice Eevee immediately felt a different atmosphere.

 After pruning the wool of eight braided sheep with such concentration, Naoki felt that his waist was almost broken by fatigue.

When Naoki was sitting on the sofa, the little Eevee jumped onto his shoulder skillfully and coquettishly flirted with him.

It’s a pity that Naoki didn’t master this skill and couldn’t make handmade wool carpets and scarves, so he could only sell the sheared wool.

 For example, in a dark basement, under the bed on the second floor, behind the TV, or on the roof of the house.

“The pruning has been completed, go and play!” Naoki said with a smile.

Zhi Shu didn’t notice the Ice Eevee in the corner.

 Although the price is not as good as those handmade products, it is also a very good profit for the ranch.

Zhi Shu still remembered that the old rancher next door told him that the more complete the sheared wool, the more valuable it was. If it was interrupted, there would be no way to sell it at a good price.

“Let’s see, what kind of Ibrahimovic do you want to be in the future?” Naoki asked.

 Naoki found the “Encyclopedia of Ibrahimovic” that he had bought in the bookstore before. This is a book that records various types of Ibrahimovic.

 It turns out that Naoki would treat Ibrahimovic like that!

 But why haven’t we dealt with it? It has never received that kind of treatment…

Hing Eevee also wants Naoki to play with him like that, but he feels that he is already a mature big Eevee, and it would be too embarrassing for him to do that kind of thing again.

Looking at this scene, Naoki sighed softly: “What a beautiful picture!”

Zhi Shu thought for a while and explained: “It can be considered as choosing your growth direction in advance! After you choose it, will I help you move towards that goal, or do you want to stay the way you are now and don’t want to evolve?”

Hearing this, Ibrahimovic immediately shook his head: “Booy!” It still wants to evolve into a more powerful Ibrahimovic.

Naoki couldn’t help but laugh and said: “Then let’s take a look! So far, you can choose a total of eight evolutionary directions.”

Ibrahimovic lowered his head and read a book.

Zoki pointed to the eight evolved forms of Eevee above and introduced them one by one:

“Fire Eevee, a fire-type Pokémon, can shoot hot flames from its mouth to burn its opponents.”

 “Eevee?” Ibrahimovic showed an interested look, and seemed a little curious about this Fire Eevee.

Naoki continued: “Water Eevee, a water-type Pokémon, can blend into the water and make it invisible to others. But after it evolves, it will have no hair on its body and will become smooth, like Like a fish in the water.”

Ibrahimovic shuddered and immediately shook his head. He didn’t want to be like this!

“This is Leib. It can spit out powerful electric current from its mouth. The hair on its body will stand up when it is stimulated. The book says that due to the stimulation of electric current, Leib will become a little nervous and difficult to get along with. “

Ibrahimovic doesn’t seem very interested in Reib.

“Then take a look at this Leafy Pokémon. It is a grass-type Pokémon. After evolving, it can use photosynthesis to replenish nutrients, so it no longer has to look for food.”

Ibrahimovic’s eyes lit up, but when he thought about the delicious food, he shook his head. He didn’t want to be like this.

Naoki smiled slightly and continued to look at the next one: “This is just Ice Eevee, an ice-type Pokémon. Its body is cold and it can condense ice and snow to freeze the enemy.”

“Speaking of which, we also have an Ice Eevee at home. You must have seen it before, right?” Naoki asked.

Ibrahimovic immediately thought of the cold and seemingly difficult-to-get-together Ibrahimovic: “Buyi…”

 Naoki saw what Eevee was thinking: “Actually, it is a kind-hearted Eevee, but it doesn’t show it. It lives in the small igloo at the back.”

　　At this point, Naoki suddenly raised his head with a happy heart, and his eyes just met the eyes of Bing Yibu who was secretly observing in the corner.

Bingyibu looked panicked and immediately retracted his head.

 However, Naoki didn’t intend to let it go.

 He stood up directly and picked up Bing Eevee, letting him sit on his lap with Ibrahimovic.

 The two Eevee made eye contact.

Little Eevee blinked, and then greeted it friendly: “Buyi!”

There was no expression change on Bing Eevee’s face, and he looked cold. He turned away, not looking at Ibrahimovic.

 ”Buyi…” Ibrahimovic’s tone was very disappointed.

Hearing Ibrahimovic’s sad cry, Bingyibu’s heart moved and he couldn’t help but think:

Will it hurt this little Eevee’s heart like this? It looks so young… It must be sad to be treated so coldly, right?

Thinking of this, Bingyibu turned his head hesitantly and responded softly: “Bu Yi.”

Little Eevee’s eyes immediately shone with joy, and he took the initiative to step forward and rub Bing Eevee.

Being treated like this suddenly, Bingyibu couldn’t help but be slightly startled.

Such an enthusiastic little Eevee is a bit like the Frost Milk Fairy…if you look at it this way, it doesn’t seem so annoying.

The interaction between the two Pokémon was seen by Naoki.

He introduced the origin of the little Eevee to Ice Eevee: “This Eevee survived the forest fire last year. It lost its home and can only live in the town.”

Hybrid knew about the fire. It was also involved in it at that time and saw many dead Pokémon.

Thinking of this, Bingyibu’s face was moved. When he looked at Ibrahimovic, his expression was full of sympathy. He felt that this little guy was quite pitiful.

The little Eevee didn’t seem to feel it. It tilted its head and looked at the Ice Eevee in front of it. It realized that the Ice Eevee didn’t hate it so much, and it immediately screamed happily.

 “Buy!”

Zhishu touched the heads of the two Eevee and said with a smile: “Okay, let’s continue watching!”

“The next person I want to introduce to you is Sun Eevee.”

“Unlike the Eevee just now, Sun Eevee can use superpowers to fight. The red beads on its forehead can absorb sunlight and convert it into spiritual power, but Sun Eevee is not good at fighting at night.”

Ibrahimovic and Bingyibu looked down at the photo of their own race in the book.

 They have never heard of Sun Eevee before!

“The black one below is the opposite of the Sun Eevee. Its name is Moon Eevee. It is an Eevee that evolves at night and can use the power of moonlight.”

 “Bu Yi…” Ibrahimovic murmured. He didn’t like the black hair and didn’t want to look like this.

 I don’t feel much about Ice Eevee because it has evolved.

At this time, Ibrahimovic suddenly noticed the special Ibrahimovic below.

It patted the photo with a meat pad and asked: “Buy, clothy?”

Zhi Shu looked at the scene and smiled: “This is Fairy Eevee. He is very cute, right? There was once a human who wrote a beautiful fairy tale based on Fairy Eevee.”

Hearing this, Ibrahimovic and Bingyibu immediately became curious about this fairy tale.

“Eevee?” the two Eevee asked in unison.

Zhi Shu raised his eyebrows: “Do you want to hear it?”

 “Bu Yi!” They nodded in unison.

“Okay, then let me tell you something.” Naoki cleared his throat, leaned on the sofa, and began to tell the two Eevee fairy tales he had heard from the Galar region.

“It is said that a long time ago, there was a small town called Apple Town, where people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and lived happily.”

“Until one day, a very scary dragon Pokémon came to the town. It snatched away the mayor’s daughter and destroyed the apple trees in the town, making people extremely scared.”

“At this time, a beautiful and kind-hearted fairy Eevee came to the town. Hearing about the troubles of the townspeople, he bravely embarked on a journey to defeat the evil dragon.”

“After some hard work, the beautiful fairy Eevee successfully rescued the mayor’s daughter and helped people fight off the terrifying dragon-type Pokémon.”

“After that, Fairy Eevee and the people lived happily together.”

After listening to this fairy tale, Ibrahimovic and Bing Ibrahimovic couldn’t help but look forward to it.

 “Buy!”

 However, these words were also heard by several dragon-type Pokémon nearby.

Kuailong argued loudly: “Ouch!” Dragon-type Pokémon are not bad guys!

It is also a dragon-type Pokémon, and it has never done anything like that!

 “Gah…” The Motorized Lizard was hesitant, but it also felt that Kuailong’s words were correct.

So Leden also came to join in the fun: “Ah, geez!”

 The three dragon-type Pokémon stand on a united front, and Naoki must give an explanation.

 Naoki: “…”

“This is just a fairy tale. If you want to hear it, I can also tell the story of the brave dragon Pokémon defeating the bad guys and saving the world.” He said.

 “Ah squeak!” So ​​Luton immediately said that they would listen to it at night! Zhi Shu had no choice but to agree: “Okay, okay, I’ll tell you tonight.”

 A few hacked dragon-type Pokémon were now satisfied.

Zhi Shu looked at the bright-eyed Ibrahimovic and asked: “Have you thought about it? What kind of Ibrahimovic do you want to become in the future?”

Ibrahimovic stretched out his meat pad without hesitation and took a picture of this fairy Ibrahimovic: “Buy, buey!”

Naoki: “…” It seems that little Eevee still has the heart to slay a dragon!

 “Decided?” Naoki asked.

Ibrahimovic nodded repeatedly: “Buyi!”

“Okay, then I will help you cultivate it in the direction of Fairy Eevee.”

 Naoki said while recalling the evolution of Fairy Eevee in the game.

 It seems that you need to reach a certain level of friendship with the trainer, and then learn a fairy-type move before you can evolve?

 In this case, it will take some effort.

 But to Naoki, it doesn’t matter.

 They have plenty of time.

It was almost time to rest. Naoki let the two Eevee go play by themselves for a while, while he took Gulton and the Motorized Lizard out to the tree orchard.

 In more than ten days, all the new batch of fruit have grown.

Looking at the round and plump fruits on the fruit trees, Zhishu was ready to use them all to make energy cubes.

The amount of fruit is a bit large, but thanks to the help of Pokémon, the picking work went very smoothly.

　　The picked fruits were put into the baskets, and six large baskets were filled with the fruits of the entire orchard.

 What surprised Naoki even more was that the fruit produced this time actually contained two dyed fruits!

[Dyeing Fruit: Special food. After eating it, the color of the Pokémon will change accordingly. It can be eaten directly or after cooking. ]

Last time Babu Woodchuck ate this thing and turned into a shining Babu Woodchuck.

 Now this means that in addition to Baboo, there are two more Shiny Pokémon in the pasture!

 Who should I give it to?

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　?

 He remembered that the flashlight was black and gave people a very cool and handsome look.

 Or is it Ibrahimovic?

 Because if you give it to Eevee, the Fairy Eevee it evolves into will become the Sparkling Fairy Eevee, and its color will change from pink to blue, making it look even cuter.

 It’s decided, give one of them to Ibrahimovic!

Then the remaining one…

Just when Naoki was thinking about who to use, he suddenly saw the few Hackrons that were following him and playing in the orchard.

Zhi Shu’s eyes turned to one of the distinctive pink Hackrons.

As we all know, the color of Flash Hackosaurus will turn into a scary green after it evolves into Velociraptor.

These Harker Dragons will definitely evolve by then.

The green dragon is too scary.

After pondering for a moment, Naoki waved to the Hackrons.

 “Woo?”

 Hakrons flew over curiously.

Naoki handed the remaining dyed fruit to the pink Hackron:

“This fruit can help you become like everyone else. Do you want to eat it?”

The heterochromatic Hackron blinked, then opened its mouth and ate the dyed fruit in one bite.

 The next second, a burst of light erupted from its body.

 In the light, the color of Hackron changed rapidly, from the original pink to exactly the same as everyone else.

The several Hackrons nearby were extremely surprised when they saw this scene, whining and whining non-stop, circling around this companion.

Hackron, who has become like everyone else, has a look of disbelief on his face.

 But the expression on its face looked very happy and excited, and it did not feel sad at all because it had turned into an ordinary Hackron.

 “As expected!” Looking at this scene, Naoki knew that he had done nothing wrong.

He stretched out his hand and touched the heads of these Hackrons and said: “Okay, you can continue to play, I have to work!”

Huck dragons surrounded him, and then expressed their excitement that they would also help with the work, just like the few fast dragons who helped Naoki!

 “Woo!”

Looking at the expectant expressions on the Hackrons’ faces, Naoki couldn’t help but fall into silence.

He turned back and glanced at the baskets of fruit next to him.

Hakron has no hands, so there’s no way to help him carry the fruit, right?

Although you can hold the fruit with your mouth, it is too inconvenient.

With such hesitation, Luton and Motor Lizard had already moved the fruits to the last basket.

Looking at Gu Ledun walking over to pick up the last basket of fruit, Zhishu could only say to the Hackrons:

“I feel your thoughts, but you are still too young now. Let me help you when you become a dragon!”

 “Woo…”

 The Hackrons suddenly looked disappointed.

 Becoming a big dragon…does it mean evolving into a fast dragon?

 That’s right! After they evolve into fast dragons, they can help Naoki, just like those fast dragons!

 Hakron soon cheered up, and their hearts were full of fighting spirit.

Decided!

 They must work hard to become stronger in order to help Naoki work!

Zhishu didn’t know what the Hackrons were planning yet, but when he saw them cheering up, he smiled and said:

“You guys go on and play, I’m going to bring these fruits to the house.”

 Guluton and Motor Lizard had already run to the car. Zhi Shu got into the driver’s seat and drove the pickup truck full of fruits all the way to the house.

 Then, he and the two Pokémon began to move the fruits into the living room and put them in the kitchen.

A part of it is reserved for making poffins and tree juice, and the remaining straight trees are going to be used for researching energy cubes.

  The research on energy cubes is an extremely complex task.

 Some rare energy cube formulas are not available to outsiders, so Zhi Shu can only research them himself.

 At present, he only has a handful of energy cube formulas in hand.

 Used to attract poisonous babes, used to raise little cubs…

 But these are not enough.

 Hence, Zhi Shu plans to use today’s day to develop new types of energy cubes.

After all, there is a big-eating Kirby in the ranch, but I don’t worry about the energy cubes I made being eaten up and wasted.

 First of all, he wanted to improve the little Kirby delicacies that Ik Hui gave him.

  Kirbymon is the initial form of Kirbymon. After evolving into Kirbymon, not only the size of Kirbymon, but also the appetite of Little Kirbymon has been greatly increased.

 This makes the original energy cubes not enough.

Recalling the tree fruit recipe for Little Carbimon’s delicacies in his mind, Naoki selected several types of tree fruits from the frame.

“After evolution, Kirby’s appetite has increased, and the previous energy cubes can no longer satisfy it. Well… if you want to improve it, you not only need to add more fruits, but also need to replace some special tree fruits.”

“Change the cranberry fruit into a velvet fruit. Compared to the cranberry fruit, the velvet fruit contains more energy and calories. Only in this way can the needs of the Kabimon be met.”

“There are also berries used for seasoning…” Naoki thought of Kirbymon’s unique taste, and even the smelly mud rice can be eaten.

The fruit of this tree has a sweet taste, which is effective for humans and other Pokémon, but it is a bit useless for Kirby.

 Hence, Naoki replaced berries with kiwi fruits, which have higher calories.

 In addition, the amount of fruit must be increased…

 Thinking about it, Naoki started to operate.

Although the process of making energy cubes by hand is not as convenient as using a fruit mixer, the operability and upper limit will be higher.

 Peel the fruit, mix it, heat it, stir it…

 Until the end, a furnace of special energy cubes with a black color was freshly baked.

Zhi Shu took a look, but found that it was a failure with no effect.

 “Did it fail?” Naoki was not too surprised, but began to think about what went wrong.

 After pondering for a moment, he started his second attempt.

　Then, the third and fourth times…

At the fifth time, the color of the energy cube produced did not turn black, but instead showed a strange indigo purple color.

Zhi Shu realized that these energy cubes were unusual, and immediately checked their information impatiently.

[Kabimon Food: Kirby’s special energy cube uses advanced tree fruit compression technology to compress dozens of high-energy tree fruits into one special energy cube. Only one can make Kabi! Bimon is satisfied and full. Note: Ordinary Pokémon are strictly prohibited from eating! ]

 “Succeeded!”

Looking at the energy cube in front of him, Zhi Shu felt happy. His research direction was indeed correct!

 In this way, the problem of raising Kirby becomes much simpler.

Zhi Shu immediately washed his hands, took out a pen and paper and wrote down the formula of this energy cube.

 Naoki has two notebooks.

 One is the “Cooking Encyclopedia”, which records in detail the ingredients and preparation methods required for special dishes, as well as the specific effects.

 The other book is “Encyclopedia of Energy Cubes and Poffins”, which records the formulas and production methods of Poffins and Energy Cubes, as well as the special effects of Energy Cubes.

 Now, there is another recipe in this notebook.

 After recording, Naoki started the next step of research with great interest.

This time he has no research direction and focuses on random things, arranging and combining random tree fruits to make energy cubes.

 As time passed by, the sun rose high and then sank into the distant skyline.

　　At the end of a hard day’s research work, although he was not as good as those powerful cultivators, Naoki also figured out some basic energy cube formulas on his own.

for example:

[Grass Energy Cube: An energy cube used to attract grass-type Pokémon. If placed in the wild, it will definitely attract grass-type Pokémon. ]

  [Bug Snack: An energy cube used to attract bug-type Pokémon. Its taste is very popular with bug-type Pokémon. If placed in the wild, it will definitely attract bug-type Pokémon. ]

 …

“Barely usable.” Looking at these energy cubes, Zhi Shu felt a little regretful because there were no energy cubes with magical and incredible effects.

After thinking for a while, he shared these energy cubes with bug and grass Pokémon such as Bada Butterfly, Mount Goat, Oliva, and Three Bees.

 The result was well received by everyone.

Zhi Shu was very happy, which at least meant that his time of the day was not wasted.

 After dark, Naoki planned to go to bed early after dinner.

But before he could get into bed, he was stopped by several dragon-type Pokémon in the pasture.

 Naoki: “…”

Just.

 “Come with me!” Naoki said.

Legend was watching TV in the living room, so Naoki took a few Pokémon outside and sat down by the riverside where fireflies were flying.

 Guluton, Motorized Lizard and Kuailong looked over expectantly.

 Naoki promised to tell them the story of the heroic Dragon Pokémon fighting off evil and saving the world at night.

The story of dragon-type Pokémon…

Zhi Shu didn’t know where to start for a while.

After all, there really is a fairy tale in the Galar region about Fairy Eevee fighting off Dragon Pokémon.

 After thinking for a moment, Zhi Shu suddenly had a good idea in his mind.

　　 Got it! Since Kuailong and the others want to hear it, let him tell the story of Rayquaza stopping the war between Groudon and Kyogre and saving the world!

 After all, Rayquaza is also a dragon-type Pokémon.

Thinking of this, Zhi Shu slowly said:

“long long ago…”
