Chapter 438: Naoki Ranch's Hidden Trial, Unlocked! (10,000 More Monthly Tickets Requested)

March 16, 200th year of the Alliance Calendar, spring.

After receiving the task assigned by the Chief Champion, Yangming left Zhuotai City and set off for Zheqin Town.

However, when he arrived at that place, he accidentally got lost and couldn't find the location of Zhishu Ranch.

At this time, Yangming thought of the content of the strategy post on the campus forum.

——[Zhishu Ranch is located in the suburbs, a distance away from the town. If you can't find it, you can ask the local residents, because Zhishu Ranch is very famous in the vicinity. 】

In order to complete the chief's task, he decisively stopped an uncle who was driving by and asked him where to go to Zhishu Ranch.

The uncle was wearing a blue work suit and had a towel hanging around his neck. His lightbulb-like head stuck out of the car window and he answered with a bright smile:

"Oh! You mean Naoki Ranch? You got the wrong direction. Naoki Ranch is on the east side of the town. You ran to the south!"

The uncle pointed in the direction of the town and said, "Well, back to the town, go east from the road of the Ziqin Market, and you will see a small road extending to the suburbs. Naoki Ranch is at the end of that road!"

"Okay, I see." Yangming was very polite: "Thank you very much for your help, uncle."

"Hey, you're welcome. I've met many people like you who want to visit Naoki Ranch!" The uncle smiled naively.

Yangming, who was about to turn around and leave, was moved when he heard this.

Hmm?

In addition to him, are there many people who come to challenge Naoki Ranch?

No, this can be seen from the post on the campus forum.

Those people must be students of Padilla College. Perhaps it is for this reason that Naoki Ranch is so famous in the college.

At this moment, Yangming was full of curiosity about Naoki Ranch. Seeing that this uncle seemed to know Naoki Ranch very well, perhaps he could get more information about that person from him.

Thinking of this, Yangming asked.

"Uncle, do you know Naoki?"

Upon hearing this, the uncle was not in a hurry to leave. He seemed to have a lot to say about this topic.

"You mean Naoki? Of course I know him! He is the most famous rancher in our town!"

"He has not been in the town for a long time, but it took him more than a year to run a deserted ranch."

"And he also led the farmers in the town to believe in the King of Buds. All farmers blessed by the King of Buds will have a good harvest!"

The uncle talked endlessly.

"Naoki is really amazing! The forest fire a year ago was put out by Naoki and his powerful Dragonite! They saved a lot of Pokémon. I heard that the Padiya League awarded him a medal."

"Not only that, Naoki also founded Dragonite Express. His cow and sheep milk is also of high quality. Because of his arrival, our seaside town that relies on fishing for a living has become more and more lively."

"Almost every day, tourists and trainers are attracted here! Naoki? He is the lucky star of our entire town!"

The uncle's eyes lit up, as if he was extremely proud of Naoki in Ziqin Town.

Yangming: "..."

Is this exaggerated?

Yangming looked thoughtful. If these are all true, then how legendary is the man named Naoki?

Thinking of this, Yangming became more and more curious.

He said goodbye to the uncle. In order to rush to the ranch as soon as possible to see Naoki's face, Yangming directly took out a Poké Ball.

"Come out, Qiqilin!"

Accompanied by a flash of white light, a giraffe Pokémon with a long neck, more than three meters tall, and a headgear on its head appeared on this country road.

Yangming turned over and rode on it, heading towards the destination.

Not long after, a ranch appeared at the end of the road.

There seemed to be a fierce battle going on there.

From a distance, Yangming saw a storm gathering above the ranch. As the wind surged, heavy rain fell from the sky, forming a terrifying storm.

Yellow lightning was brewing in the clouds above, and Yangming recognized it as an electric thunder move at a glance.

Although the lightning had not fallen yet, just hearing the rumbling sound could bring a strong sense of oppression to people.

"So scary! Is that the strength of a true champion-level trainer?" Yangming couldn't help muttering.

Although according to the strength classification of the Padiya Alliance, they have become champion-level trainers, but everyone knows that champion-level trainers are not true champions.

Compared with the top champion Yeci, their strength is still one level behind.

"Qi Qilin, speed up!"

Yangming gave an order, and Qi Qilin under him increased his running speed.

Soon, they arrived at the ranch.

There was indeed a fierce battle going on there.

It seemed that someone had arrived before him.

Yangming looked carefully and saw a girl commanding a magical masked cat to fight a dragonite.

Opposite the girl, stood a man with a calm and steady face.

That man must be the ranch owner Naoki.

At this time, the battle had come to an end.

A fierce storm raged across the battlefield, and the overwhelming storm formed by the energy of the flying attribute drowned the Magic Mask Meow.

This storm made the already scarred Magical Mask Meow lose his ability to fight.

The storm gradually subsided.

My younger sister, Ai Guanshi, walked up with a bottle of goat milk of life and fed it to the magical masked cat.

Not long after, the injuries on Magical Mask were healed.

"It's a pity that you didn't pass the storm trial." While speaking to the girl, Naoki noticed another person coming from behind.

"So, so strong!" The girl seemed to have not recovered from the previous battle.

At this time, Yang Ming recognized this girl who had arrived one step ahead of him.

He was quite surprised and said: "Nanako? How did you come so fast?"

"Yangming?" The girl known as Nanako turned around. She was not surprised when she saw the person coming, but explained: "I happened to be here in Ziqin Town, so I stopped by to challenge. You are also here to challenge. "Refined?"

Yang Ming nodded, looking at Nanako, it was obvious that he failed.

Naoki looked at the two people in front of him with interest. It seemed that they knew each other.

But judging from the internal situation of the Padian League, the two of them should be considered colleagues, right?

Nanako turned her attention away from Yang Ming. She checked the injuries on Magic Mask Cat, then raised her hand and asked:

"Mr. Naoki, can I try another trial?"

"Of course." Naoki asked with a smile: "Which trial do you want to challenge this time?"

Nanako rolled her eyes and looked around. At this time, there were many Pokémon from the pasture gathered around the battle site, and many of them seemed to be more powerful than Kuailong, Babu, and Mount Goat. Pokémon.

Nanako thought for a while and asked: "By the way, Mr. Naoki, are there only grass trials, storm trials, thunder and lightning trials and finger-waving trials in the ranch?"

Naoki could tell what the girl was thinking at a glance.

He smiled slightly and said in a mysterious tone: "Not only that, in addition to these four trials, there are also some hidden trials in the ranch, but only those who pass any of the four trials can be qualified to challenge ”

For example, the doubles trial between Guluton and Zhanyifa...

If the challenger still feels unsatisfied, then he will invite King Lei Guan and Giratina to come out and let them see the power of the true god.

Hearing this, Nanako's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Hidden Trial?!"

Yang Ming on the side also felt very surprised.

According to what he learned from the school forum, the current trials were already exaggerated. He simply could not imagine how difficult those hidden trials would be...

Naoki nodded slightly: "Yes, but you are not qualified to challenge yet. If you want to challenge, you must first defeat these Pokémon of mine."

Kuailong, Babu, and three goats stood behind him, looking at the two challengers with Naoki.

Nanako was really too curious, "Mr. Naoki, can you let us see it in advance? Please!"

However, Naoki has a heart of stone and still chooses to keep it a secret: "No! If you want to know, then come and challenge the trial!"

In this case, let’s fight! This idea immediately came to Yang Ming's mind.

"Nanako, if you don't challenge the trial, let me fight Mr. Naoki!" Yang Ming couldn't wait.

Hidden trial? He must be the first trainer to unlock the hidden trial of Naoki Ranch!

"Yangming, you are so rude." Nanako was quite disgusted.

She originally wanted to continue challenging the Green Grass Trial, but Magic Mask Meow had just experienced a fierce battle and now needed to take a break to relieve the pressure.

So, Nanako gave up her position.

Yang Ming walked to the battlefield, and now he could see that the rancher in front of him and their chief champion were from the same generation.

Perhaps it was precisely because the chief knew each other that he asked Naoki to conduct special training, tests, and tempering for these champion trainers so that they could continue to practice.

He realized the chief's great intention!

"Mr. Naoki, please give me some advice!" Yangming said seriously.

Naoki nodded and asked, "Do you need me to introduce you?"

Yang Ming shook his head: "No, I've already understood it in advance."

The content in that guide post is very complete, recording in detail the special abilities, self-created moves, fighting styles, and areas that need attention for each Pokémon in the three major trials.

It can be said that these trials created by Mr. Naoki are completely obvious to challengers and are the experiences summed up by countless predecessors.

Although in a regular Pokémon battle, it would be unfair to completely expose the opponent's trump card like this, but even so, no one has been able to pass the trial so far.

What does this mean?

There are only two possibilities.

One is that Mr. Naoki is really invincible, and the other is that all challengers are useless.

Yang Ming: "..."

Naoki didn't know what this challenger was thinking.

He nodded and asked: "Okay, in that case, I won't say more. Your friend just challenged Kuailong's storm trial. Which trial are you planning to challenge now?"

"Thunder and lightning trial!" Yang Ming replied without hesitation.

"Lightning Trial?" Naoki was a little surprised, but he didn't say much, just nodded and said: "Babudu, it's your turn!"

"Bamo!"

Accompanied by a crisp cry, a Babudu with pink fur flew out from behind Naoki and flew to the battlefield.

Yangming looked over.

The Babudu had a red cape tied behind it and held a small silver hammer in its hand. It looked cute and majestic.

The flying Babudu... Did it use electromagnetic levitation?

This ability is not uncommon. Pokémon like Magnemite and Naughty Thunderbolt can float in the air through electromagnetic levitation.

But it is very rare to see it on Babudu.

"In that case, I'll send you out! Come on, Bulbasaur!"

Yangming took out a red and white ball and threw it.

Accompanied by a flash of white light, a Pokémon with a huge flower on its back, a toad-like appearance, and bumps all over its body appeared on the battlefield.

Venusaur, the final evolution of Bulbasaur, one of the three grass-attributed Pokémon in Kanto.

This is Yangming's ace Pokémon.

Starting with Bulbasaur, Yangming began to cultivate it towards the direction of omnipotence.

It can attack or defend, and can interfere with the opponent or attack from the front. There are as many as three tactics on Venusaur alone.

In order to prevent the opponent from being a master of reverse attributes, Yangming even conducted targeted electric shock training on Venusaur.

In addition, the grass-attributed Venusaur is naturally resistant to electric attacks, so he is bound to win this battle!

"Swish!"

The elder brother Ai Guanshi, who acted as the referee, blew the whistle on his neck.

Babu Tubo vs Venusaur, the battle officially began!

"Vulbasaur, use hypnotic powder!" Yangming immediately gave the command, trying to gain the upper hand.

Hearing the three words hypnotic powder, Naoki's heart moved, and he subconsciously thought that this kid was going to use a wretched tactic to pass the lightning test.

Venusaur also has the attribute of poison. Will it start to poison Bupchuk next?

The powder with hypnotic attribute has drifted out of Venusaur's flower.

In this situation, Naoki chose to counter it: "Bupchuk, fly upwards and avoid the coverage of hypnotic powder!"

"Bam!"

Bupchuk immediately flew to a higher position.

Yangming below saw this scene and immediately ordered Venusaur to chase.

"Flying Leaf Blade!"

Suddenly, a dense burst of leaf blades followed behind Bupchuk.

Bupchuk turned around and noticed this scene. It clenched the small hammer in its hand, and the body flashed with lightning. A powerful electric energy instantly wrapped around Thor's hammer.

Bupchuk threw hard, and the hammer met the Flying Leaf Blade.

Those Flying Leaf Blades that were originally rotating at high speed were instantly broken up by the hammer, but the hammer did not stop, but flew directly to Venusaur below.

"Bulbasaur, get out of the way!" Yangming ordered quickly.

"Chana!"

Bulbasaur also anticipated the danger in advance, and almost the moment the trainer spoke, it began to run to the side.

Fortunately, it reacted in time, and the hammer brushed its leaves and fell behind.

Seeing this scene, Naoki nodded gently.

The next second, Babu Tubo floating in the sky seemed to have telepathy and stretched out his hand.

The hammer that fell on the ground began to shake violently, and then flew up out of thin air, as if it was attracted by something.

It was that swinging hammer!

Yangming recognized it at a glance, and he shouted without hesitation: "Bulbasaur, pay attention to your back, use the vine whip!"

"Chana!"

Bulbasaur also noticed the small hammer flying from behind.

Two thick vine whips were quickly pulled out from both sides of its body and met the hammer.

Then, it caught it out of thin air.

Two vines tightly wrapped around Thor's hammer, stopping its advance and making it unable to move.

Caught it! He found a flaw in the move that had defeated countless challengers!

Yangming was very excited just thinking about this.

However, soon, his pupils shrank and he suddenly realized that he had overlooked something.

A hammer is just a hammer! Losing the hammer does not mean that the Babu Tupo has lost its means of attack!

Sure enough, the next second, Yangming saw that the Babu Tupo gave up retracting the hammer and directly attacked Bulbasaur from the front with the hammer.

Dazzling lightning burst out with the two Pokémon as the center.

The strong electric current instantly flooded the entire battlefield.

In the lightning, Bulbasaur's vines were forced to retract, and Babu Tupo held the hammer tightly, with lightning all over his body.

It raised the hammer high and made the final blow to Bulbasaur below.

"Boom!"

A huge explosion sounded from the center of the battlefield.

Before Venusaur could even use its vine whip to transfer electricity to the ground, it was beaten and lost its ability to fight.

"That Babudubu is so fast!" Nanako, who was watching, exclaimed.

If it were her, could she pass this lightning test?

The answer is no.

When the smoke on the battlefield completely dissipated, Babudubu was floating in the air intact, while Venusaur was lying on the ground, with its eyes turning into mosquito coils.

It looked like it had lost its ability to fight.

There were traces of being burned by electricity and large areas of blunt wounds on its body, which showed how powerful that Babu Tubo was.

What a strong strength!

Originally, Yangming thought that the content in that post was exaggerated by netizens, but now, after he personally experienced the lightning trial, he realized that those descriptions were not exaggerated at all...

He lost, and was defeated by Babu Tubo under the condition of attribute restraint, and even many tactics were not used in time.

"I'm sorry, you didn't pass the lightning trial."

Naoki was accustomed to this scene. He smiled and watched his sister Ai Guanshi deliver life-saving goat milk to the opponent.

"Thank you for your hard work, Bulbasaur, you have done very well." Yangming comforted Bulbasaur, who was depressed because of losing the battle.

It was the opponent who was too unreasonable.

That Babu-Dry is so small and cute, but it has so much strength in its body. Not only that, its speed is also much faster than Venusaur.

"Do you want to continue?" Naoki looked at the two trainers sent by Yeci in front of him.

Nanako shook her head subconsciously. She felt that she had no chance of winning after witnessing the whole process.

Yangming nodded: "Mr. Naoki, I want to continue the challenge. Please let me think about it for a while."

"Okay." Naoki had no objection.

Yangming fell into deep thought.

Venusaur has fallen. With the strength of his remaining Pokémon, it is probably not a match for that Babu-Dry.

So, what if he starts with the other two trials?

Yangming suddenly thought of the various descriptions of the Green Grass Trial in that strategy post.

The infinite recovery mount goat, the special "Holy Sword of Grass", the powerful vine whip...

As for the strategy of the Green Grass Trial, there is only one possibility of passing it so far.

That is to use meditation, dragon dance, sword dance and other moves to enhance the ability of Pokémon to the extreme, and then use the strongest move to attack the mount goat.

As long as it can be defeated in one move, the endless green grass field and super recovery of the mount goat will lose their effect.

In addition, there is another way, that is to use provocation to put the mount goat into the provocation state, so that it can no longer use moves such as green grass field and photosynthesis.

But those mount goats are also very special, because the forum said that their green grass field is almost instantaneous, and the entire battle field will turn into a green grass field at the beginning of the battle.

The opponent's Pokémon has no chance to use provocation at all.

In this case, we can only go back to the first method.

And there happened to be a Pokémon that met the requirements beside him.

Thinking of this, Yangming opened his eyes and said to Naoki firmly: "Mr. Naoki, I have thought about it. Next, I will challenge the Green Grass Trial."

Green Grass Trial? Naoki looked at the goat behind him and asked, "Are you sure?"

"Yes." Yangming nodded.

"Okay then." Naoki said, "But unlike the other two trials, the battle mode of the Green Grass Trial is 3v3. You can use three Pokémon until all the goats lose their combat ability, and then you can pass."

"Three?" Yangming nodded thoughtfully: "I understand, please start!"

Seeing the expression of the boy opposite, Naoki guessed that he had already thought of a response strategy.

He was a little curious in his heart, what method would Yangming use to challenge the Green Grass Trial?

The battle officially began.

Naoki's goat walked to the battlefield.

In the first battle, Yangming sent out a Pokémon that surprised Naoki.

It had a small body and a large piece of fluffy and soft cotton covering its whole body.

It was a wind fairy, a Pokémon with fairy and grass attributes.

When the battle began, the goat instantly released a green grass field that covered the entire battlefield.

Yangming ordered the wind fairy to use Tailwind.

Tailwind: A flying move that creates a tailwind for a period of time, increasing the speed of all Pokémon on the team.

Seeing this, Naoki narrowed his eyes. Tailwind? Interesting.

"Mount goat, vine whip!" In response, Naoki chose to defeat the enemy with force.

"Meah!"

The mount goat cried out, and two huge vine whips as thick as pythons flew out and rushed towards the wind fairy at a very fast speed.

Seeing this terrifying move, the wind fairy let out a panic cry, and the next second, the two vine whips intertwined and trapped it.

Seeing that the vine whip was about to strangle the wind fairy, the wind fairy squeezed out from the gap with the advantage of its petite body.

Seeing this, Yangming took the opportunity to order: "Wind Fairy, use Sunny Day!"

The Wind Fairy exerted its strength, and under the influence of the tailwind, its body floated around the field like a dandelion.

At first, Naoki didn't know what the opponent wanted to do by sending the Wind Fairy.

But with the use of Sunny Day, he reacted instantly.

Yangming was providing an advantageous battle environment for the next Pokémon!

Realizing this, Naoki ordered without hesitation: "Mount Goat, don't give it a chance, use Leaf Blade!"

"Meah!"

After the command was issued, the grass energy in the mouth of the mount goat surged wildly. Almost in an instant, a huge grass holy sword automatically condensed into shape.

The next second, the mount goat shot out like an arrow, and in just a moment, it defeated the wind fairy who was using the sunny day.

Yangming's heart was already in his throat, and he looked up at the sky nervously.

The sun gradually became stronger, the temperature began to rise, and the golden sun fell on the earth.

Seeing this scene, Yangming was happy.

yes! The sunny day was used successfully!

"Come back! Wind fairy, your mission has been completed, you have worked hard!" Yangming took out the Poké Ball and took the wind fairy back.

At this moment, he had a little more chance of winning in his heart.

"Are you going to use a fire attribute Pokémon to defeat the mount goat in one move next?" Naoki nodded: "Good idea, if so, then show me!"

So far, only Dandi has passed the green grass trial.

Now Naoki is very curious whether there will be a second trainer who passes today.

Otherwise, he would think that the difficulty of the Green Grass Trial was too exaggerated and planned to reduce the difficulty.

"Yes!" Yangming nodded seriously. In order to live up to the expectations of the chief, he would go all out in today's battle!

In the second battle, Yangming sent out a Leafeon.

The battle started again.

Although he was expecting a second person to pass the Green Grass Trial, Naoki did not deliberately let it go.

So, at the beginning of the battle, he directly issued an attack order to the mount goat.

"Come again!"

The mount goat started the opening move.

Yangming looked at the green grass energy surging in the mouth of the mount goat, and cold sweat began to appear in his palms, but he remained calm and issued instructions to Leafeon:

"Leafeon, listen carefully, don't confront the mount goat head-on next, use sword dance once you have the chance, and then use the substitute to dodge the attack until you can't hold on, then use the baton immediately!"

"Bu Yi!"

Leafeon also felt the strength of his opponent at this moment.

At this moment, the mount goat rushed towards Leafeon again with the leaf blade in its mouth.

Following the trainer's order, Leafeon used its substitute almost instantly, leaving a small dinosaur doll on the spot, while its real body disappeared on the spot.

The moment the substitute ended, Leafeon seized the opportunity and used sword dance.

At the same time, the mount goat's Holy Sword of Grass instantly defeated Leafeon's substitute.

"What is that guy going to do?" Nanako, who was watching the game, couldn't help but frown.

At this time, Naoki had already seen Yangming's plan.

Is the substitute plus sword dance also a preparation for the next step?

If he remembered correctly, Leafeon could use the move of Baton.

Baton, a move of general attributes, allows Pokémon and reserve Pokémon to directly exchange on the field.

What's more amazing is that the replaced Pokémon can also directly inherit its ability changes.

Whether it was a tailwind, a sunny day, or a sword dance, they were all paving the way for the last Pokémon to come on the field.

"Interesting." This was the first time that Naoki had met a trainer who would use this tactic in real life.

It was indeed the Padiya region where talents abounded!

Thinking so in his heart, he gave an order without mercy: "Mount Goat, use your vine whip to sweep the surroundings with all your strength!"

After using a substitute, Pokémon would not disappear out of thin air, but would appear in other directions on the battlefield.

The substitute dinosaurs were just items and props they created using energy to confuse their opponents.

After the order was issued, the mount goat burst out with an extremely terrifying green grass energy.

The energy turned into two huge vine whips, and with the mount goat as the center, they began to carry out an indiscriminate sweeping attack on the entire battlefield.

Looking at this scene, both Yangming and Nanako could not help but open their eyes wide.

Nanako murmured, "What's going on?"

Yangming felt his heart was about to jump out of his throat, and he quickly ordered loudly: "Dig, use dig!"

"Bu-yi!"

On the field, Leafeon saw the two vine whips that looked like electric fans, and the whole Eevee was stunned.

It was not until it heard the trainer's voice that it hurriedly used dig and drilled into the ground.

Naoki: "Mount Goat, use stomp to force it out!"

The Mount Goat retracted the vine whip, its eyes became sharp, and then stomped its front feet heavily on the ground.

The next second, the entire battlefield began to tremble violently.

"Boom!"

The Leafeon in the ground was squeezed by the soil and had to be forced to drill out of the ground.

Waiting for it on the ground was the huge vine whip of the Mount Goat.

Leafeon looked up at the huge vine whip in front of him and jumped up from the ground in fear.

"Buee!"

Seeing the whip about to hit him, Leafeon used his last Stand.

At this moment, after using Stand twice in a row, he was almost exhausted.

What did the trainer just say?

When he was about to give up, he used the Baton!

"Buee!"

Leafeon used the Baton without hesitation.

Its body turned into a beam of light and automatically returned to the Poké Ball, replacing the Pokémon in it.

Leafeon: Next, it's up to you!

And in that light, a Pokémon wearing purple armor and with purple flames burning on its blade-shaped arms, like a ghost, appeared at the position where Leafeon last appeared.

That was... Azure Blade Ghost!

And Yangming immediately threw a bead at Azure Blade Ghost.

The bead fell on Azure Blade Ghost, and instantly burst into a dazzling light.

In the light, Azure Blade Ghost's body was enveloped by Taijing energy.

And a candlestick and a flame appeared above its head.

That was the symbol of Taijing Fire.

The current Azure Blade Ghost is no longer an ordinary Azure Blade Ghost.

It is the complete form of Azure Blade Ghost of Taijing Fire, which inherited Leafeon's two sword dances, the wind fairy's tailwind and the sunny day.

Seeing this scene, Naoki couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

"What a promising young man!" he exclaimed.

Although he also had a Taijingzhu that could make the mount goat Taicrystal, he did not carry it with him, but kept it at home.

Now it was impossible to interrupt the battle to find it.

"This is our last strength, Mr. Naoki, please help us test it!" Yangming's eyes burned with raging fire: "Blue Flame Blade Ghost, use the Sword of Regret!"

"Mount Goat, we will come too!" Naoki whispered.

The order was given, and the two Pokémon moved at the same time.

A huge Holy Sword of Grass condensed in the mouth of the mount goat.

The Blue Flame Blade Ghost gently pressed his forehead against his sword blade, as if gathering his memories of the world on the tip of the sword.

A blazing purple flame burned on its body, and then it swung the sword blade and slashed at the mount goat.

The powerful flame energy and the green grass energy of the mount goat collided and offset each other continuously, and finally reached the critical value, and a violent explosion occurred.

The entire battlefield was submerged in strong light, and the hot fire wave spread in all directions.

Yangming was extremely nervous.

Can he win?

After a moment, he got the answer.

On the battlefield, the powerful mount goat fell to the ground, while his Blue Flame Blade Ghost stood not far away, looking at the mount goat calmly.

Won!

Yangming was extremely excited.

However, the next second, a large amount of green grass energy surged out of the green grass field.

These energies entered the body of the mount goat, and in the blink of an eye, the mount goat stood up from the ground again.

Yangming:? ! !

How could this happen? Yangming opened his mouth wide, what an exaggerated recovery effect!

Naoki: "..."

How could the mount goat, which was favored by nature, fall so easily?

Chosen by the World Tree, they are like the grass in this world, with endless life.

But there is no need to continue, because no one can defeat the mount goat that will never fall.

Naoki recognized the will and spirit of this young man and did not mind giving him some slack.

"Come back, Mount Goat!" He called back Mount Goat: "We lost this battle."

Yangming was slightly stunned.

Naoki continued with a smile: "There are two more!"

Yangming was slightly stunned, as if he understood something, and then nodded heavily.

"I understand!"

The Mount Goat collided with the Blue Blade Demon again.

Five minutes later, with the fall of the last Mount Goat, the second trainer who passed the Green Grass Trial was born.

Nanako opened her eyes wide in shock: "You guys actually passed!"

Yangming tried to stay calm and composed: "This is the result of my joint efforts with the Pokémon! Windy, Leafeon, Bulbasaur, Blue Blade Demon, thank you!"

After defeating the powerful enemy, the Pokémon were also very happy like their trainers.

Naoki smiled at the young man and said, "Congratulations, you have successfully passed the Green Grass Trial. As a reward, you can get the magical fruit wine brewed by me."

Yangming, however, didn't care much. He turned around and looked at Naoki, ready to try the hidden trial in the ranch.

"Mr. Naoki, can you tell me what the hidden trial in the ranch is now?"

Hearing this, Naoki was slightly stunned and asked with interest, "Do you really want to know?"

"Yes!" Yangming nodded quickly.

"I really can't do anything about you, but since you have passed the Green Grass Trial, it means that you have the qualifications to challenge it." Naoki turned around and looked at Gulden.

"Ah, gah." Gulden walked forward in sync.

Naoki introduced them: "This is Gulerton. The next trial is the Ancient Trial, and the content of the trial is to fight against Gulerton."

"However, unlike other trials, you can find teammates for this trial and form a doubles battle, and Gulerton will also have a teammate at the same time, and the rules are 2v2 mode."

"Of course, it's no problem for you to command your two Pokémon to fight in doubles alone."

Looking at the Pokémon named Gulerton in front of him, Yangming's eyes were excited, and he planned to challenge it in one go.

"I want to give it a try!"

"Okay."

Naoki smiled slightly, but didn't say much.

He returned to the battlefield, and Yangming still sent out the Azure Blade Ghost.

The battle officially began.

The Blue Blade Ghost tried to use the Regret Sword to attack Gulden, but before it could make a move, Gulden had already arrived in front of it.

With a claw swing, the Blue Blade Ghost was beaten and lost its ability to fight.

Yangming:? ? !

"So, so strong!" Nanako opened her mouth in disbelief, with a look of shock.

This Pokémon is even stronger than the three mounts Goat and Dragonite just now!

At this moment, both Yangming and Nanako understood what Naoki had said before that they were not qualified to challenge the hidden trial before passing the three trials.

That Gulden was so strong that it was beyond their imagination. Its strength might have reached another level!

"Mr. Naoki, is this the hidden trial in the ranch?" Nanako asked with a trembling voice.

Naoki thought about it carefully, and then shook his head and said, "No, in addition to Gulden's ancient trial, there are several other trials, but those... Let's talk about them after you defeat Gulden!"

Defeat Gulden? !

Doesn't that mean that the remaining Pokémon in the trial are stronger than Gulden?

Gulden's strength has exceeded their imagination, and they dare not even think about the strength of the remaining Pokémon...

The two looked around, trying to find a Pokémon stronger than Gulden among the Pokémon around them.

Naoki saw their thoughts, but did not explain, but smiled and waved.

The elder brother Ai Guanshi understood, turned away, and soon came back with three bottles of fruit wine.

"Take it! This is your reward for passing the trial. As the second trainer to pass, the other two bottles are my extra rewards for you. I'm glad that you let me see a wonderful battle. Your wisdom and courage are really admirable!" Naoki said.

Yangming looked down at the three bottles of fruit wine.

And Nanako noticed the key word "second place".

She asked in surprise: "Has someone passed the trial before this guy?"

Naoki nodded slightly: "Yes, that is a very powerful trainer."

"Is it the chief?" Nanako asked in surprise.

In the Padiya region, the chief is the most powerful trainer.

Naoki shook his head: "No, the chief is busy with work and has no time to challenge the trial."

Nanako nodded in shock.

And Naoki introduced the effects of these fruit wines to Yangming one by one.

At first, Yangming and Nanako thought it was just ordinary fruit wine.

Until they heard from Naoki that these fruit wines can increase the resistance of Pokémon to abnormal conditions, the two of them suddenly showed shocked expressions on their faces.

"Really?"

"Of course." Naoki said: "This is the fruit wine I brewed using the secret method of my family. It combines the essence of the fruit. It can improve the physique of Pokémon and help them grow better."

"Awesome!" Nanako exclaimed, looking at the fruit wine with envy in her eyes.

She wanted it, too, but she couldn't pass the trial yet...

And her Pokémon were all grass-type Pokémon, so she couldn't use that kind of tactics like Yangming.

Ahhh! What a headache!

Compared to Nanako's depression, Yangming was much calmer.

"Thank you very much, Mr. Naoki, but this is too expensive, I can't accept it, and the chief has already prepared a reward for me."

Hearing this, Naoki was very surprised.

Huh? This guy is quite interesting.

"This is the reward you deserve." Naoki said: "Every trainer who passes will get it. It is my gift to the brave."

Hearing this, Yangming opened his mouth, and then seriously accepted the fruit wine: "Thank you, Mr. Naoki!"

Mr. Naoki is really a great man, just like the rumors circulating in the town!

Not long after sending off the two challengers, Naoki soon received a video call from Ye Ci.

"How is it?"

Naoki smiled and said, "The trainer named Yangming is quite interesting. Apart from Dandi, he is also the first trainer to pass the Green Grass Trial."

Naoki described what happened today in detail.

After listening, Yeci's eyes showed a strange brilliance.

"In that case, this trainer's talent is very good!"

"So, where is my King's Certificate?" Naoki asked.

"Don't worry." Ye Ci smiled and said, "I have asked Qingmu to find it for you!"

Naoki: "...Don't tire Qingmu out. When I saw him before, I felt that he was exhausted."

However, hearing this, Ye Ci smiled and said, "Qingmu has been very energetic recently! I have heard that he often buys that magical goat milk from your ranch."

"And the people in the sales department also told me that Qingmu's work efficiency has increased several times after drinking goat milk!"

Speaking of this, Ye Ci suddenly remembered something: "Oh, by the way, I almost forgot one thing, Naoki, do you want to cooperate with me?"

Naoki was stunned for a moment, and suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart: "What cooperation?"

Ye Ci: "Sell the goat milk in your ranch to the Padiya Alliance, we can order it at a high price!"

Naoki: "..."

"Ahem, let's forget about this." Naoki decisively rejected Yeci's proposal. He didn't want to become Yeci's accomplice: "Relying on external objects to improve energy for a short period of time is okay, but if you do this for a long time, it will be harmful to the body!"

Hearing this, Yeci was very surprised: "Huh? Is it harmful? I saw Qingmu's energetic appearance, and I thought the goat milk in your ranch was coffee without side effects!"

Goat milk does have no side effects, but people always need to take a good rest. If you work every day with goat milk, it will be too much like a machine.

Thinking of this, Naoki nodded seriously and said: "Everything is addictive, so it's better to be natural, unless you really need it, or you plan to replenish your body."

"Okay then." After hearing that drinking goat milk for a long time would be addictive, Yeci gave up this plan.

"If there's nothing else, I'll hang up first!" Naoki was very worried that Yeci would not change his evil intentions and wanted to continue talking to him about how to exploit poor workers.

However, Yeci talked about another thing.

"By the way, Naoki, are you and Qishu on good terms?"

Naoki was a little surprised: "What's wrong? Did something happen?"

"Nothing!" Yeci shook her head: "I just feel like you two are very familiar with each other."

She used to occasionally go to see what her gym leaders were doing.

After hearing Qishu start live streaming, Yeci once went to take a look out of curiosity.

At that time, in the live streaming room, she saw Qishu there implicitly advertising Naoki Ranch.

After thinking about it, Naoki said: "Maybe Qishu comes to the ranch more often!"

Most of the other gym leaders have only come once, and Qishu is the one who has come the most.

"Is that so..." Yeci nodded thoughtfully.

The woman's intuition told her that the situation here must be unusual.

Because as far as she knew, Qishu was not the kind of gym leader who was motivated and worked hard to improve his strength.

After a brief thought, Ye Ci asked, "Did Qi Shu challenge the trial when he went there?"

Zhi Shu thought about it and nodded, "Yes."

This is even more strange, Ye Ci thought.

Looking at Zhi Shu opposite, she suddenly had an incredible guess in her mind.

Qishu, could she be...

Seeing Ye Ci's expression, Zhi Shu was a little strange: "What's wrong?"

Ye Ci came back to her senses and smiled and shook her head and said, "It's okay, the next challenger will also be in your hands! I have something to do here, so I won't talk about it for now, and we'll talk later!"

After hanging up the phone, Ye Ci showed a curious expression on her face.

She planned to go back and test Qi Shu's attitude.

If it was really as she guessed, she didn't mind being a matchmaker.

If the two of them were together, Zhi Shu would stay in the Padiya area, and she wouldn't have to worry about Zhi Shu moving to other areas to live.

When they get married, she can also attend and be a witness.

At this moment, Ye Ci thought a lot.

A talent like Naoki must have excellent children.

Those are the future talents of the Padiya region!

*

Three days later, the Padiya Alliance headquarters.

Yangming walked into the tall building in a suit.

Three days ago, he reported to the chief that he had passed the trial.

And the chief also gave him a reward as promised before.

A generous bonus, plus a promotion to the Padiya Alliance Sales Department.

Yangming felt extremely honored about this.

He walked into the sales department building with expectations for the new job and a vision for the future.

In the office, Yangming saw a very famous figure.

That person was his predecessor, the owner of Jinhui Dojo, and Mr. Aoki, the flying king!

Yangming was delighted. Is he going to become a colleague with his predecessor?

He walked up happily and greeted Qingmu:

"Good morning, senior! I am Yangming, a newly transferred employee of the sales department. Please take care of me!"

Qingmu: "..."

He looked at the young man with a tired face.

The young man who is always full of energy and spirit...I really miss him!

Qingmu nodded to the young man and said, "Well, hello, I have something to do. Let's talk next time."

"Ah, okay senior!" Yangming quickly made way and watched the figure of the senior gradually go away.
