Not Being a Trainer This Time

Plus, with the rich natural atmosphere within the World Tree and the Life Sheep Milk that strengthens and rejuvenates the Urshifu, it provides the material basis for his rapid progress.

True Holy Ash Rice.

Just thinking about all of this behind the scenes, Naoki couldn’t help but exclaim in awe!

Such an opportunity, there probably isn’t a second Pokemon in this world that could obtain it.

”Well done!” Naoki clapped for Urshifu’s performance.

”Aw!” Urshifu scratched his head somewhat awkwardly.

He knew very well in his heart that his achievements today were all thanks to Naoki.

”Aw...” Urshifu was very touched.

”Yeah, please continue to take care of me in the future!” Naoki beamed a smile and then reached out to pat Urshifu’s head.

Since he had become much taller after evolving, Urshifu bent down a little to make it easier for Naoki to pat him.

”Aga hiss...” Nearby, Koraidon narrowed his eyes upon seeing this scene.

He knew this Pokemon was a troublemaker!

Two puffs of white smoke snorted from Koraidon’s big nostrils, and he swore he wouldn’t speak to Naoki for half an hour!

As for why half an hour, it’s because Koraidon could only hold out for that long.

Naoki, engrossed in observing Urshifu, didn’t notice Koraidon’s expression.

As the evening drew in, the setting sun bathed the mountain tops in light, and the distant Porto Marinada Town lit up brilliantly.

Today was a wonderful day. Although it wasn’t a holiday, as long as Naoki was in a good mood, he would feel it was a great day. He even hummed a little tune while cooking.

To celebrate Kubfu’s evolution into Urshifu, Naoki especially prepared a lavish dinner.

Items like fried steak that Koraidon loves, Steamed Sea Bass that Dragonite enjoys, Gogoat’s Grassy Seed, and cubed sugar, carrots loved by the two horses, and so on.

All sorts of dishes filled a large table, some even had to be placed on the floor, the scale resembled a large banquet.

Maybe influenced by Naoki’s cheerful mood, all the Pokemon in the ranch were also very happy today.

They ran and played around in the living room, at times crowding on the sofa to watch TV, at times running upstairs to play hide and seek, and sometimes sneaking into the kitchen to scare Naoki from behind.

During dinner, Naoki sat amidst a huge group of Pokemon, looked at Urshifu, and asked: ”Are you going to sleep at home tonight?”

Urshifu hadn’t slept at home in a long time.

During the time of training in the World Tree, to not waste a single moment of special training, he would either sleep under Master Kyogre’s ocean or on Master Groudon’s Precipice Blades.

Now hearing Naoki’s question, Urshifu suddenly missed his soft little nest.

So, Urshifu nodded in agreement.

After dinner, Naoki grabbed some specially prepared Pokemon food and planned to take a visit to the Reversed World and have a chat with Giratina.

Meanwhile, Urshifu headed to the bedroom to check out the place where he used to sleep.

However, upon seeing his small nest that could no longer accommodate him, he showed an embarrassed expression.

Urshifu sat cross-legged on the floor, stretched his hand into the small nest to compare, only to find the nest could only fit his head.

”Aw...” Urshifu was very conflicted.

Koraidon, who had been sulking nearby, immediately stopped upon seeing this scene.

He deliberately jumped onto Naoki’s bed, laying down and making sounds to show off to Urshifu.

”Aga hiss～” So comfortable～

Look! He can sleep with Naoki!

Urshifu noticed Koraidon not far away but didn’t understand his intentions, so instead, he just glanced before returning to fiddling with his old nest.

Koraidon: ”...” Suddenly, it wasn’t fun anymore.

Under the moonlight, Naoki walked to the end of the small path in the ranch, crossed the lake, and arrived at Giratina’s Reversed World.

On the Flower Sky Island, Giratina lay idly in a large flower field, swiping through his phone.

As he hadn’t been in a pleasant mood lately, Giratina had stopped posting even on the forums, leading his fans to think he’d quit the internet, inquiring what had happened to him recently.

Phone Rotom was reading fans’ comments to Giratina.

Giratina listened with eyes closed, half-heartedly.

Just then, Phone Rotom noticed Naoki approaching from a distance, announcing: ”Naoki’s coming over, Rotom!”

Giratina opened his eyes abruptly, looking at the approaching person.

Naoki jumped onto Giratina’s sky island, placing the Pokemon food in front of him, saying, ”How about a bite?”

Giratina replied in a muffled voice, ”Got it.”

Naoki chuckled: ”Still dwelling on that thing? Don’t worry, Mewtwo and Rayquaza won’t talk about it. They’re not that type of Pokemon.”

If it were Ho-oh, maybe.

Because Ho-oh often shares his experiences with Jirachi, who then recounts them to other Pokemon while playing at the Explorer Team Guild, thus all the Pokemon on the World Tree would know in no time.

Upon hearing this, Giratina perked up.

Really?!

Naoki nodded: ”Of course. Haven’t you noticed that Mewtwo and Rayquaza seldom talk in the group chat?”
