Not a trainer this time

After a series of tests and evaluations, Zack finally offered a high price of 600 Union Coins for this moo moo milk.

Reaching out to take the stack of money that Zach handed over, Naoki felt very satisfied in his heart.

After receiving the goods, Zach drove the big truck and left the ranch.

And Naoki looked at the setting sun and the darkening sky in the distance, and couldn't help stretching his waist in relaxation, exercising his muscles and bones.

It's getting late, it's time to prepare dinner for everyone!

It was getting late, and the tired birds returned to their nests.

Zanqin Town, shrouded in the setting sun, gives people a feeling of tranquility and peace.

After leaving Zhishu Ranch, Mu Ping rushed to Zhuanqin Town.

Tonight, he was going to rest at the Pokémon Center in this town.

Using the videophone inside the Pokémon Center, Mu Ping contacted his teacher and planned to report to her the situation he encountered today.

As the videophone was connected, a young woman with glasses, dark skin, and long purple hair appeared on the screen.

This is the history teacher of Orange College, Lei He, who is also in charge of guiding new students for this class.

"Mr. Leihe, good evening!" Mu Ping greeted the other side with a big smile on his face.

The young woman named Leihe adjusted her glasses with her hands, and she looked at the boy on the opposite side of the screen, and the dumb fire crocodile and little arrow sparrow standing on his shoulders from left to right.

"It seems that you have successfully taken your first step as a trainer. Congratulations, Mu Ping."

Mu Ping scratched the back of his head, a little embarrassed, and then told the story of chasing the little arrow sparrow today and successfully subduing it.

At the end, he hesitated for a while, and then asked: "That... Teacher Leihe, have you ever seen a lamb that glows?"

Leihe: "?"

Mu Ping: "I met a very mysterious person today. He helped me tame the little arrow sparrow. He was a rancher, and there were a lot of them in his ranch..."

Mouping paused, as if looking for a suitable adjective: "Many strange Pokémon."

Hearing this, Leihe became a little interested: "Oh?"

Mu Ping: "A lamb that glows green, a fast dragon that waters the crops by praying for rain, and a Pokémon that I have never seen before, and it is not recorded in the Pokémon Book."

He described in detail what happened in that ranch today word by word.

At first, Leihe seemed a little unconcerned: "Some Pokémon do emit light when they evolve, which means that the trainer has cultivated that Pokémon to the limit."

"Although the Pokémon Kuailong is rare, it's not impossible to let it help water the crops."

And when she heard Mu Ping describe the Pokémon she had never seen before, she couldn't help showing interest.

"The skeleton is very similar to the motorcycle lizard, with a red body, it looks very strong... You should read it right?"

Mu Ping hurriedly said, "I promise I'm not mistaken!"

"Oh hehe, it seems that you have encountered something very interesting! It's really intriguing..."

This description is a bit like the ancient Pokémon that once cracked the earth with its fists, King Wing, which was recorded in ancient exploration notes.

But Leihe was also a little uncertain.

After thinking for a while, she said to the freshman: "I suddenly thought of something, let's stop here today!

She intends to check the information.

Mu Ping nodded again and again: "Oh, yes!"

Leihe put down the investigation on the four treasures of disaster, got up and left the office, preparing to go to the library of the college.

There, there is a large collection of ancient books, including the book of nobles and purples written by the ancient explorer Haizhe.

"Mr. Naoki, I have your letter!"

This morning, Naoki was instructing the big milk tank to use the automatic milking machine in the Pokémon hut, but suddenly heard the voice of the mailman Aiwen from outside.

He stopped the big milk tank, walked out of the Pokémon hut, and took the letter from Ivan.

Ivan had a sunny smile on his face: "This is from Mayor Thomas."

Mayor Thomas?

With curiosity, Naoki opened the envelope.

[To Naoki:

How are you doing recently? Is everything going well at the ranch? I heard Zach say that you have started raising big milk tanks, which is really unexpected! Your grandpa will be very happy to know that you work so hard to run the ranch.

Haha, having said that, you should have raised a lot of cattle and sheep Pokémon in your ranch, right?

The town will hold a spring cattle and sheep competition in a few days, and the nearby ranches will participate. Everyone will bring the cow Pokémon and sheep Pokémon raised in their pastures to participate in the competition.

The Pokémon breeders in the town came to serve as judges, and selected the best cattle and sheep Pokémon that were taken care of according to the fur and mental state of the Pokémon.

The town has a mystery gift for the first-place ranch!

If you are going to participate, please come to the celebration square in the town at 9 o'clock in the morning on February 24th in the spring. I look forward to seeing you here.

— by Thomas]

Spring cattle and sheep competition?

Naoki was a little interested.

Ivan on the side seemed to know about this, and he specifically asked: "Mr. Naoki is going to participate? Huh? The lambs have evolved!"

"Yeah, it evolved just a few days ago." Naoki smiled and asked, "Have you participated in these competitions?"

Aiwen nodded: "Of course! Many people in the town will participate! Last year's winner was the Mali sheep from the light green pasture. I heard that this year's competition will be more intense! Will you participate?"

Hearing this, Naoki turned his head to look at the three lazily mounted goats.

The scene when the mount goat evolved that day emerged in his mind, coughed lightly, and replied: "I will probably go!"

"Then I will vote for you with everyone!" Ivan said with a bright smile.

After delivering the letter, Ivan was about to leave.

But Naoki stopped him and asked, "I didn't know much about it when I first came here. Apart from the cattle and sheep competition, are there any other festivals in the town?"

"Festivals... that's too much!"

Aiwen introduced happily:

"The spring horse race at the end of March. On that day, everyone will ride their own Pokémon to participate in the competition. Pokémon such as Flame Horse, Thunder Zebra, and Heavy Mud Horse. You can compete!"

"There are also fireworks shows and fishing contests in summer, harvest days in autumn, food festivals, Thanksgiving in winter, and New Year's Eve. In short, they are all very lively festivals! People in the town and Pokémon will gather together celebrate."
