Seeing Nemona looking upset, Naoki quickly stepped forward and took a bottle of sheep milk from his backpack, changing the subject: "Co on, let’s restore your Goomy’s strength first!"
The surrounding Trainers gradually dispersed, as other strong Trainers started their own battles.
The crowd here slowly dispersed, and Nemona took out the Poke Ball of her Goomy and released it.
At this ti, Goomy had already opened its eyes, but it looked very weak.
Naoki handed the Life Sheep Milk to Nemona, letting her feed it to Goomy.
With a gulp of sheep milk, the injuries on Goomy’s body healed visibly fast.
Seeing this, Nemona widened her eyes in shock: "Amazing, so amazing!"
Naoki grinned and said, "Amazing, right? This is a special product from my ranch! No matter how badly a Pokemon is injured, just one bottle restores them imdiately."
"Wow!" Little Nemona was imdiately captivated by the magical effect of the sheep milk.
At this mont, Caitlin’s voice suddenly ca from behind:
"Did Alder’s Volcarona recover from its injuries by drinking this sheep milk?"
Naoki turned around and saw Caitlin and her group standing not far away, watching them.
Caitlin, Shauntal, and Cynthia looked curious.
Shauntal gave a soft smile in their direction, feeling a little embarrassed: "Sorry, we didn’t an to eavesdrop. We were just at the back of this garden and accidentally overheard."
"It’s okay." Naoki smiled and seized the opportunity to pitch to these Elite Champions: "If you ever need any, you can order from my ranch anyti."
Alder is a living advertisent; the effect of the sheep milk is self-explanatory.
"Very interesting." Caitlin showed an intrigued look: "I’ve never seen such sheep milk before."
Naoki smiled and said, "This is the only place in the world to get it!"
After all, gathering Grassy Seed, Berry Milk, and a Tree of Beginning Leaf is extrely challenging for others, nearly impossible.
"Are you a Rancher?" Caitlin shifted her attention from the sheep milk to him.
Naoki nodded: "That’s right."
Shauntal, beside him, was very curious: "Then why did Alder say you are a Champion?"
Whenever this topic ca up, Naoki was quite helpless.
He accepted being called a Trainer because he had been training his own Pokemon recently. He barely considered himself a semi-amateur.
As for being a regional Champion... he couldn’t accept that. It would be embarrassing if he got found out unless he participated in the Champion exam and passed, but that seed pointless.
Naoki had no clue what Alder had imagined.
After a brief thought, he explained, "Maybe there’s sothing that made Mr. Alder misunderstand!"
Upon hearing this, Shauntal and Caitlin nodded and said no more.
But Cynthia seed intrigued and asked, "Where is your ranch located, and what’s its na?"
That was sothing he could answer! Cynthia could beco a potential custor too!
Naoki imdiately perked up: "Paldea Region, Porto Marinada Town, Naoki Ranch!"
"I’ll rember that." Cynthia smiled slightly.
The three-mber group didn’t linger for long and left after exchanging farewells.
The garden was suddenly left with only Naoki and Nemona.
Naoki wanted to say sothing to Nemona, but as he turned his head, he noticed Nemona seed a bit unhappy.
Naoki was slightly stunned and asked, "What’s wrong?"
Nemona looked up at the adults not far away, who were chatting and smiling, and grumbled, "I don’t like this kind of place."
Naoki was a bit surprised, and the nearby Pokemon also looked at Nemona.
"Is it because the adults are drinking?" Naoki asked.
"No." Nemona beca sowhat dejected: "Everyone humors in Pokemon battles because of my status, always intentionally losing to ."
"But Nemona is still Nemona. I don’t want to be labeled as a little miss or a prodigy, nor treated differently because of my status."
"I want to be like everyone else... I was really happy when Mr. Naoki battled seriously earlier, but then you beca just like everyone else."
Naoki: "..."
He coughed lightly and explained, "Actually, I just worried others would think I’m bullying a kid, I really didn’t an it that way."
Though Nemona’s identity was that of a little miss, her carefree and unrestrained nature made it hard for others to see her as a wealthy girl’s daughter.
Upon hearing this, Nemona imdiately turned around: "Really?"
"Of course it’s true!" Naoki nodded: "And whether it’s or others at this banquet, we are all much older than you."
"When you reach our age, you’ll definitely beco a great Trainer. By then, we might not be able to match your full strength."
Nemona listened intently to these words.
Monts later, her eyes lit up again, filled with determination: "Yes! I want to beco a great Trainer!"
Naoki smiled and nodded: "Good luck! Future Paldea Champion."
Nemona reverted to her lively self: "Mr. Naoki, let’s battle!"
Naoki suddenly felt very troubled.
