Pokémon: The King of Extras

The next day.

Early in the morning.

Turning off the news push of "Manaphy's latest progress, the photos circulated online are suspected to be a certain up master", Yu Zhou picked up the red and white cap on his head and looked at the border gate of the West Gate of the Magic City.

As the first gateway connecting the Magic City to the world, it has a history of 300 years and looks retro and majestic.

All of them are repaired with huge ancient trees in the wilderness. Even if the red paint fades, it looks majestic.

Against its background, the big steel snake walking in front seems to be much more ordinary.

Queuing all the way to the checkpoint responsible for customs clearance.

After showing the key, I got a wristband that looks more refined than an ordinary first aid wristband.

This is a special version for forest rangers.

In short, the ordinary one can provide a rescue signal once, and this one can last for six months.

It is considered the pro version of the rescue wristband.

Simply show it a few times in front of the virtual eyes, buckle it on your wrist, and take back your certificate.

Walk along the safe passage opened by the alliance for half a minute, and the whole world suddenly becomes clear.

Because it is connected to the grassland, the first thing that comes into view is a "young" windbreak forest.

It is only about eight or nine meters high, with a wide road reserved and no shrubs that hinder traffic.

When the wind blows, the forest rustles.

Yu Zhou, who is alone, puts his hands in the pockets of his jacket and walks quietly on the edge of the road.

Occasionally, a trainer riding a Pokémon rushes by.

He is still not in a hurry, quietly recalling what happened last night.

After receiving Lu Chuan's call, he went to Magic City University on the way.

The counselor is very open-minded and thinks that staying in school is indeed a very troublesome thing now that the popularity is gradually rising.

In addition, forest rangers themselves are a profession worthy of being praised, and the college can also add points, so they generously approved a four-day vacation.

In this way, I haven't had a serious class for ten consecutive days...

Although it doesn't seem to be something a student should do, he brought a notebook and a charger this time.

Although there was no signal outdoors, he had downloaded more than a dozen movies and courseware, which was definitely enough.

When he returned to school, he would review the four-day course - he had asked Lu Sheng to do it, and he had the habit of taking notes on the courseware.

But.

These were not the main points.

The main point was that all the Pokémon, including Ai Guanshi, were tricked by him.

The reason he used was, of course, "The subsequent impact of Manaphy was a bit big, so let's just move to another place to live together."

Ai Guanshi was a little resistant at first, thinking that once he arrived in the wilderness, he would inevitably face a battle.

But after learning that there were rental Pokémon joining, and unable to resist Yu Zhou's soft and hard persuasion, he finally agreed.

As for the Lansa fruit tree, it was as thick as an ordinary person's arm when it came back this time.

It was watered enough at once, so there was no need to worry too much.

Strictly speaking,

This temporary experience as a forest ranger was more like a relaxation than a journey.

Compared to homes and campuses with people coming and going, and the possibility of being photographed by the media, the pure ecological forest is obviously more pleasant.

"Let's just set a goal and solve the knot of loving to be a housekeeper within four days."

Walking on the avenue of the windbreak, Yu Zhou muttered to himself.

Arriving at the familiar grassland, he also released the riding Fiery Horse like those trainers.

The heroic horse, the flames are warm and charming.

As soon as he took a step, the wind blew.

After running wildly on the grass for a while, Yu Zhou took out the key and guided the Fiery Horse to the forest ranger's base step by step according to the location marked on it.

Crossing the grassland and entering the ancient mountain forest.

Not long after walking, I met a cute tail standing.

Probably because it had never seen a Pokémon like Fiery Horse, it followed behind and looked around curiously.

Yu Zhou drove the horse closer, and it ran into the bushes and disappeared in an instant.

When they reached the rugged area, they thought it would be difficult to walk, but Flame Horse easily crossed the area full of stones and vines with a few jumps.

"Amazing." Yu Zhou's eyes lit up and he rubbed his neck with one hand.

Pokémon, as it were, could not be judged by common sense.

He vaguely remembered that in a certain area, there was a Pokémon called Motor Lizard, which was also good at shuttling between mountains and forests.

I wonder how it compares to Flame Horse.

I don't know if Xiao Menghuan will meet it in this experience. With it by his side, he might be able to ride Entei or Suicune in the future...

I don't know if Yu Zhou's thoughts have already drifted to the sky. Flame Horse snorted proudly.

With Pokémon as a means of transportation, the journey progressed quickly.

It took only about thirty minutes for Yu Zhou to see a wooden house located on a small hill.

According to the statement given by the Alliance, this is the residence of the forest ranger.

The Eye of Illusion rose and circled around, and found a Hercules hiding behind a branch, staring at him.

The man who received him before he came had specifically told him that some wild Pokémon that were treated by the ranger would often run to the vicinity of the house to protect the safety of the surrounding area.

This Hercules was one of them.

Yu Zhou took out the key at hand and shook it twice.

The other party shook its wings and regained its composure.

"It seems that it has been recognized."

Yu Zhou breathed a sigh of relief and rode the flaming horse to the door.

Stick the key on the sensor plate next to it and keep it for three seconds.

With a click, the gate of the courtyard opened automatically.

The electricity was connected inside, and a light came on.

Although the configuration was very high-tech, the situation inside reminded Yu Zhou of the time when he visited Lu Yao's home.

A simple wooden house with some ordinary appliances.

There were only two houses in the courtyard, the small one was used to store sundries, and the large one was used for accommodation.

The firewood was chopped into small pieces and piled up to the same level as the door lintel.

After not living there for a few days, some weeds grew in the small courtyard in front, but it was not desolate. Instead, it felt quiet.

Yu Zhou led the flaming horse and went to the vegetable garden in the back to take a look.

Cucumbers, eggplants, cherry tomatoes.

Grapes, strawberries, apples.

There was even a peach fruit tree!

Although the type was relatively cheap and it was also a better type to cultivate, it was also very good.

The tree fruit seeds of Pokémon in the secret realm of the Magic City that Yu Zhou gave back as a gift were all of this cheap type.

Even so, it almost wiped out all of his savings.

Pull off a carrot and sniff it carefully.

The fragrance of the soil, accompanied by the fresh and slightly sweet taste of carrots, made Yu Zhou squint his eyes in enjoyment.

"It's so fresh."

He couldn't wait to experience the feeling of living here.

Carefully wash off the soil and feed it to the flaming horse.

The crisp carrots are a delicacy that horses can't refuse at all.

Yu Zhou went to the small house again, where there were farm tools and insect repellent pesticides, as well as some daily necessities that were probably broken but not thrown away and piled up casually.

Picking up a small sickle, he decided to start by cleaning the weeds in the yard.

"Even if I live here temporarily for a while, I have to live well."

Taking off his jacket and rolling up his sleeves, Yu Zhou exhaled seriously.

Five minutes later, he took off the Poké Ball of Ai Guanshi.

Yu Zhou, who had no experience in cleaning up weeds, pointed to the grass that he had cut into a mess and asked, "Can I leave the roots?"

"Ai Yi~" Ai Guanshi shook his head.

"Can only pull them out?"

Yu Zhou had a headache, "What about these?"

"Ai Yi~"

"Can only dig them all out... As expected, you should consult a professional before doing anything."

"Ai Yi?"

"...I'm not saying you're a professional weed remover, just experience, experience, you understand what I mean?"
