In the afternoon, the gopher had dug a big hole in the ground of the salt house.
The little gopher was panting from exhaustion. The workload of this project was too huge for it.
But it is still not enough for so many salt stone barriers to live in, and after hollowing out the underground, it is necessary to prevent the surface from collapsing.
These require some preventive measures to be taken in advance.
Looking at the big hole dug by the gopher, Naoki fell into deep thought.
When the gopher saw his expression, his two little eyes were full of expectation and worry: "Zhizhizhi?"
"Don't worry, we'll have to work with you." Before the project is completed, he will not treat his employees badly.
Naoki took out the sandwich he brought and put it on the ground.
The gopher immediately moved over happily and took small bites of the sandwich in front of him.
"I have no experience in building underground tunnels. If the ground collapses after digging the underground tunnel, it will be a waste."
As Naoki walked outside, he thought to himself: "I'll have to ask Keri for advice later on to see what methods should be used to prevent collapse."
He walked to the pasture, intending to go to Bingyibu's ice cellar to get some ice cubes to make smoothies.
But at this moment, three boys and girls in school uniforms suddenly came to the ranch.
"Huh?"
Naoki was a little surprised to see them.
Those three people had obviously seen him too.
Naoki heard them plotting loudly.
"Is this the farm that Carter was talking about? The place where the Green Grass Trial is held?"
"Huh? No way? The person who helps him train is a farmer?"
"Holy shit! What did I see! Is that Dragonite? Why are there such rare Pokémon here?"
Naoki's heart moved, thinking that that boy Carter actually helped him promote it.
After trying Yunyu for the first time, the ordinary disco can no longer satisfy the mount goats. These days, their hooves are itching unbearably and they have been longing for a fight.
Just when he was about to go up to him, the cloth dog flew over.
The eyes of the three people were instantly attracted by the handsome cloth dog wearing a red cloak.
The three honest students who had worked hard since childhood saw the incredible scene and their eyes widened.
One of the girls with short pink hair exclaimed blankly:
"Oh my God! Is that...Bugou? Can a Pokémon like Bugou fly?"
Another boy wearing glasses adjusted his glasses. He observed the appearance of the cloth and said calmly: "It should be using the principle of electromagnetic levitation."
At this time, someone else saw Gu Ledun.
"What kind of Pokémon is that?"
"I don't know either."
"Where is this place? Why are there so many rare Pokémon?"
Looking at the stunned expressions of the three of them, Naoki felt funny in his heart, and then walked forward: "Hello!"
"Excuse me!" The three of them were quite polite.
They greeted Naoki first, and then asked: "Excuse me, are you the owner of this place? We heard from Carter that a grass trial that can help Pokémon practice is being held here..."
"It's me." Naoki nodded with a smile. He glanced at the school uniforms of the three of them and asked, "You and Carter are both students of Orange Academy, right?"
"No, I'm from Grape Academy." The girl said.
Naoki was a little surprised.
The girl then told about how Padia College is divided into two colleges: Orange College and Grape College. Freshmen can choose different colleges according to their preferences after enrolling.
Hearing this, Naoki nodded. Although he was surprised, he didn't think much about it.
After all, this is the world after the fusion of Zhu Zi. Dr. Olin and Dr. Futu are both here, so this is normal.
He glanced at the three of them and asked, "Are you all here to participate in the Green Grass Trial?"
The three of them nodded, thinking about the changes in Carter and the Messenger Bird, and they were very curious.
What kind of special training can make people undergo earth-shaking changes in such a short period of time?
The three of them felt itchy in their hearts.
"Come with me, but participating in the trial requires a ticket fee of 2,000 alliance coins." Naoki said.
This price was finalized after careful consideration.
"Ah?" When they heard that there was still a ticket fee, the three of them looked at each other: "Didn't Carter say there is a fee?"
Naoki explained: "That's because after the battle, I will provide treatment services for your Pokémon. No matter how serious the injury is, it can be 100% healed."
"That's it!" The three of them suddenly realized.
At 2,000 alliance coins, the price is not expensive. The price of four bottles of Moo Milk is quite a bargain if it can really help their Pokémon become stronger.
Seeing the looks of the three of them, Naoki guessed what they were thinking and reminded him:
"Whether you can become stronger or not depends on yourselves and your Pokémon's perseverance and understanding."
"Got it!" The three of them nodded. They had heard Carter talk about this.
"Very well, come on then!"
With that said, Naoki led the people to the battlefield.
He waved to the sheepfold, and the three mounted goats that were ready to move immediately ran over and looked at the three of them with high spirits.
"Yeah!"
Three people:?
Naoki explained to them: "There are three levels in the Green Grass Trial. The first level involves fighting a goat, the second level involves fighting two goats at the same time, and the third level requires fighting three mounts at the same time. goat."
"Those who finally pass the trial will receive a mysterious grand prize that helps Pokémon grow."
Mount goat?
The pink-haired girl's eyes were filled with confusion.
She looked at the three mount goats opposite and asked uncertainly: "Is the Green Grass Trial just about fighting the mount goats?"
Isn't this too different from what she imagined?
Although the three mount goats look tall and strong, they are just mount goats, with only one grass attribute...
If you send out a Pokémon that has the herbivorous attribute or can restrain grass-type Pokémon, wouldn't it be easy to win this trial?
Naoki immediately guessed what the girl was thinking.
He shook his head with a smile and said: "As a trainer, you must not despise the enemy because of attribute restraint or characteristic suppression. A true master always maintains the heart of an apprentice."
The girl was shocked.
This is not something ordinary people can say!
"Can I know your name?" She used an honorific.
"Of course." Naoki nodded slightly: "I am Naoki. As you can see, I am the owner of this ranch."
"Naoki..." The girl recited the name silently in her heart, and then nodded: "I understand, Mr. Naoki!"
Naoki didn't say much, but just asked: "Want to try?"
The girl hesitated for a moment, then nodded. She took out her Ibrahimovic-style wallet and found 2,000 alliance coins.
While paying, the girl suddenly thought of something: "By the way, one ticket can only be used for one battle?"
Naoki shook his head: "Until the moment you leave the ranch, before you leave, you can challenge the Green Grass Trial unlimitedly. Once you leave here and want to challenge again, you need to purchase a new ticket."
Naoki didn't want to be evil-minded, not to mention that the purpose of this grass trial was to satisfy the mount goats' desire to fight and help them vent their energy.
If it were one ticket at a time, the price would dissuade many challengers.
However, he is not worried that someone will continue to challenge him.
Because after all, not all trainers and Pokémon can accept losing all the time, and Carter is the minority.
The girl nodded: "I understand."
"Then, let's begin!"
Naoki took a step back and acted as a referee.
One of the mounted goats walked onto the battlefield and looked to the opposite side eagerly.
The girl sent out a huge whale with five hard horns.
The battle officially begins.
The mount goat instantly released a large amount of grass-attribute energy that enveloped the entire battle field.
In response, the gigantic whale responded with an ice spin. Its feet were covered with a thin layer of ice, and its huge body spun at high speed while rushing towards the goat.
The grass field was destroyed by the ice swirl, and the grass attribute energy began to disappear.
Seeing this scene, the mount goat was a little angry. Its eyes were fixed on the huge whale, and an even greater amount of grass-attribute energy was released from its body.
The grassy field destroyed by the huge whale was instantly repaired.
Immediately afterwards, facing the huge whale rushing towards him, two extremely thick vine whips stretched out from behind the mount goat and whipped the huge whale fiercely.
With a whip, the huge whale's head was stunned, and its whole body began to spin on the spot like a top.
girl:"?"
The mount goat whipped the top for a while, and the huge whale fainted and passed out.
"Stand up!" the girl shouted.
But the mount goat didn't give her this chance.
I saw it let out a sheep cry, and the two thick vine whips instantly merged into one, turning into a huge grass stick and smashing it towards the huge whale.
"Boom!"
With a loud noise, dust flew up on the battlefield.
When everything calmed down, the huge whale seemed to have lost its ability to fight.
The two people watching: "???"
What the hell is that move? Is it a cane whip? Is it the Vine Whip they know?
The girl's face was filled with disbelief.
She looked at the mount goat opposite, and the whole process just occurred in her mind.
Is that Pokémon... really just a mount goat?
Naoki stepped forward and fed the juice and milk to the huge whale.
After a while, the huge whale woke up.
Naoki turned around and saw the relaxed expression of the goat, and asked, "Do you want to continue?"
"Wait!" the girl asked in disbelief: "I want to know, did Carter also fight with this goat that day?"
"Yes." Naoki answered truthfully: "Carter is a very perseverant person. He conducted devil-like special training with me for two days and gained a lot of valuable experience from the green grass trial."
The girl nodded: "I understand."
She checked the huge whale's injuries, and then said: "We have to continue."
The second battle officially begins.
It's still the mount goat vs. the huge whale.
This time, the girl changed the way of fighting and did not let the giant whale use ice spin. She was afraid that the giant whale would be beaten like a top by her opponent again.
"The huge whale, overwhelmed by Mount Tai!" the girl ordered.
The huge whale let out a loud cry and jumped up from the ground. Its huge body blocked the sun in the sky.
At the same time, the mount goat's eyes were fixed on the huge whale in mid-air.
A majestic grass-attribute energy condensed crazily in its mouth.
The two boys who were watching noticed something was wrong.
The next second, they saw a giant blade of grass glowing green condensed from the mount goat's mouth.
"Fuck!"
"What is that...?!"
The two of them opened their eyes wide, no words could express their feelings under this situation.
The mounted goat held the giant blade of grass in its mouth and faced the falling whale straightly.
The two Pokémon collided fiercely in mid-air.
The moment it was hit by the giant blade of grass, the huge whale's body lost its balance and fell straight down, creating a big crater.
The mount goat fell steadily behind the huge whale.
The giant blade of grass in its mouth disappeared, and then it slowly turned around and looked at the huge whale in the pit.
"???"
Seconds, seconds? !
The boy wearing glasses stared at this scene dumbfounded. Even though he was as calm as he was, he took a breath after seeing this scene.
The girl also had the same expression on her face.
She looked at the huge whale that had lost its fighting ability in disbelief, and suddenly realized the gap between herself and the opponent.
That is comparable to the gap between heaven and earth!
She set her sights on the rancher.
But the other party raised his head with a smile and asked, "Do you want to continue?"
The girl was excited and shook her head: "No, no!"
She has a deep and clear understanding of herself, and if she continues, she will only be tortured by the terrifying goat.
If you are not a masochist, who would continue? !
Naoki was a little disappointed, and he was not happy with the two mountain goats!
He looked at the two male students watching and asked, "What about you? Do you want to give it a try?"
The two boys were also startled and shook their heads instinctively: "Forget it! Let's do it next time!"
The rare dragon, the unseen Pokémon, the flying cloth dog, the salt and stone barrier running around, the extraordinary mount goat...
Everything is telling them that something is wrong with this place! This is definitely no ordinary ranch!
Seeing this, Naoki became even more disappointed.
He began to reflect in his mind. It was obvious that these three students were frightened by the terrifying strength displayed by the mount goat, so they did not dare to fight the mount goat.
How does this work?
He thought for a moment and then came up with the same tricks he used to fool Carter.
"What a pity." He sighed: "You have not understood the true meaning of the Green Grass Trial."
Sure enough, the three people's eyes were immediately attracted.
"Mr. Naoki, what does this mean?" the girl couldn't help but ask.
Naoki's face was not red and his heart was not beating and he said:
"My original intention in creating the Green Grass Trial was to help more trainers test and exercise the strength and character of the Pokémon around them."
"Winning blindly has never been the purpose of trials. The purpose is to gain more experience from the battle, learn how to deal with strong enemies, and learn courage."
"This way when facing a strong enemy in the future, your Pokémon will remember this moment. It has persisted through such a difficult trial. What else in the world can stop it?"
"Unyielding character and tenacious perseverance are the necessary conditions to become a powerful trainer, just like the grass growing in the wild."
"Carter did that, so he improved so quickly because of those scars, that's what made them who they are."
"I don't want you to gain nothing from the trial." Naoki was convinced by reason and moved by emotion, and he almost believed it himself.
Sure enough, when he finished saying this, the three people in front of him were moved.
The girl remembered what Mr. Naoki said before - a true master always has the heart of an apprentice.
This is obviously not something ordinary people can say.
She couldn't help but say: "Mr. Naoki, you must be a very powerful trainer!"
Master trainer? Or a champion? Or maybe a retired king?
Not only is he powerful, he is also so kind-hearted. Even if he lives in seclusion in the wild, he never forgets to pass on his master spirit.
I also want to help the younger generation of trainers become stronger, and use this trial method to think about them...
Thinking about it this way, Mr. Naoki is simply a good man with noble character!
