Chapter 109 In the days without horses (third update)

 It’s another new day.

This morning, after finishing the work in the pasture, Naoki leisurely took a watering can and watered the flowers in the flower field.

Early in the morning, the hard-working three bees go out to work.

 They fly around among the flowers, collecting nectar from the flowers.

Zhi Shu greeted them warmly: “Good morning, Sanbee!”

The three bees made a melodious cry in response to Naoki’s greetings, and then continued to work.

After watering, Naoki began to inspect his pasture, the home he and his Pokémon had worked so hard to build.

 In the farmland, Kuailong was still practicing praying for rain.

In front of the chicken hut, Bu Bo was grazing the hens.

More than a month has passed, and the group of little yellow chickens that hatched from the eggshells have grown up a lot, and they have begun to imitate their mother in grazing on the grass.

Chicks at this stage have learned that they can no longer eat after filling their stomachs, so there is no need to worry about them being starved to death. Naoki changed the feeding system in the chicken house to free feeding.

 This is much more convenient.

Seeing him coming, Bubo, who was grazing leisurely on the grass, raised his paws and cheered to greet him.

Since this period of time, this lost little cloth dog has completely integrated into the life of the ranch.

And imitated his example of going out early and coming back late to work. Every morning after breakfast, he would automatically come to the chicken hut to graze. In the evening, he would drive the hens back to the house, and then obediently return to the wooden house and sleep with him.

Zhi Shu smiled and nodded at Bu Bo, and then continued to move forward.

 In front is the Pokémon hut, where three large milk tanks live.

The grass seeds he sown on the land in front of the hut more than half a month ago have sprouted. He believes that it will not take long to grow into fertile and delicious grass.

 Three large milk jugs have finished producing milk and are lying on the grass basking in the sun.

 They really like life here.

 Because the food here is much better than the food at the previous ranch.

 In order to thank the ranchers here, they work hard to produce milk every day.

 —It’s a waste to keep it anyway. It’s better to squeeze it out, which will make their bodies more relaxed.

 Going further, you will arrive at Yan Shibao’s salt house.

However, the weather has been getting better and better recently, and the Salt Stone Treasures are running around outside under the leadership of the Frost Milk Fairy every day.

 This has also resulted in a significant reduction in rock salt production.

 In this regard, Naoki was also very helpless, but he did not lock the salt and stone treasures into the house, but let them play around.

Seeing that there was no one in the salt house, Zhishu stepped forward and closed the door, then turned to the territory of the goats.

The three goats have finished dancing today and are lazily lying on the grass eating grass.

 Beside them, there was an additional figure that surprised Naoki.

That’s…Mini Fu?

 He couldn’t help but step forward, looked at Minifu who was sitting next to the goat, and asked curiously: “Why are you here?”

Miu Fu shook her body slightly and replied happily: “Fu~”

 Because it’s very comfortable here!

At this time, Naoki saw the green glimmer emanating from the body of the goat.

 He understood instantly.

 Because of the goat, the grass attribute energy on this piece of grassland is particularly rich and full.

This environment is simply a sacred place for plant and grass-type Pokémon, so they will take the initiative to approach and stay here.

 “I’ll leave Minifu to you to take care of the goat. I have to go to work.” Naoki said.

The horse goats happily took over the job of taking care of Minifu.

Zhi Shu went to the utility room at the back of the house, took out an ax and saw, and started making a wooden fence using the remaining wood and the simple workbench inside.

He planned to make a wooden fence by hand to surround the flower field and separate it from the farmland, specifically for viewing. When those flowers wither in summer, Naoki plans to plant a batch of sunflower seeds there to create a beautiful sunflower field.

This kind of delicate manual work is not of much help. It is too strong and will break the wood if you are not careful.

 So Naoki could only do it by himself, and he was busy until the afternoon before he could finish it.

　　Set up a wooden fence around the flower field, and then hang a sign with flowers at the entrance, and a complete garden is officially completed.

Zhi Shu clapped his hands and found that several calluses had been worn out on his hands at some point.

But he didn’t care.

Perhaps for a farmer, this represents a badge of honor for hard work?

　　After patting the ashes on his hands, Zhi Shu touched the heads of Gu Ledun and Motorized Lizard beside him, and asked: “What do you want to eat tonight?”

 “Ah gah!”

 “Gah!”

 The two Pokémon answered in unison.

However, Naoki didn’t understand any of it, so he laughed and said, “Then let’s have a sandwich!”

 Guluton, Motorized Lizard: “…”

Having said that, Naoki still took out their favorite steak from the refrigerator and prepared to make a cutlet.

At this moment, the video phone behind him rang.

 Naoki raised his eyebrows, looking surprised.

 Who could be calling him at this time?

 He washed his hands and went to answer the call. The voice of Mayor Thomas came on the phone.

 “Good evening, Naoki!”

“Good evening, Mayor Thomas! Do you have anything to do with me today?”

“Haha, it’s about the horse racing competition at the end of March. Because you installed a telephone there, I didn’t send a letter and made this call to you directly.”

“The town will hold a spring horse race on the 25th of this month. Anyone with horse Pokémon can come and participate. There will also be many passing trainers participating!”

“It’s just that you haven’t started raising horse Pokémon yet, so you won’t be able to participate.”

“But you can also come to watch the race and buy horse racing tickets for the player you like at the event. If he wins the championship, you can also use the horse racing tickets you get to exchange for various props!”

 Horse racing tickets? Isn’t this just betting on horse racing?

 But when he heard that various props were exchanged, Naoki was still moved and asked: “Props?”

Mayor Thomas replied: “Because most of the people who come to compete are trainers passing by, the town has prepared many things that trainers can use, such as various evolution stones and equipment to help Pokémon train. , magical items for Pokémon to carry, and things like that.”

 Evolutionary stone…

Naoki quickly thought of a goal in his life—to collect Eevee with all attributes.

Most Eevee evolutions require evolution stones. Except for Fairy Eevee, Sun Eevee and Moon Eevee, if you want to collect other attributes of Eevee, you need a total of five evolution stones.

 They are fire, water, thunder, leaves, and ice.

 There is only a water stone beside him now, which was picked up by Baby Bear before and given to him.

Although Ibrahimovic is not around yet, it is always a good idea to prepare it first.

 Hang up the phone, Naoki began to think about his current situation.

 There are 10 days left until the start of the horse race.

 According to Mayor Thomas, each person can only purchase a certain number of horse racing tickets.

These horse racing tickets can be used to bet on the players you support, thereby obtaining more horse racing tickets, which can then be exchanged for props.

In addition, you can also participate in the competition yourself. In addition to the championship trophy, the winner will also receive a free item as a reward.

 If you are confident enough, you can also buy horse racing tickets to bet on yourself.

So the question is, can he meet a horse Pokémon in these ten days?

Even if he encounters it, can he raise that horse Pokémon enough to win the championship?

 Well, that’s a problem.
