Pokémon: My Farm Adventures

"Everyone, go play."

After seeing Sakura off, Natsume said to Dragonair and the others, "Today, just take a good rest."

"Houndoom~"

Houndoom immediately responded.

It wanted to check its old territory and see if any wild Pokémon had taken over its area.

"I want to watch a movie, Rotom~"

Rotom spun around in the air, "Is there anyone who wants to watch with me~"

"Buneary~"

Buneary instantly raised its hand.

"Servine~"

With the sun shining bright, Servine wanted to sunbathe for a while.

"Sandslash~"

Sandslash called out and then happily ran toward the fields.

As soon as Sandslash spoke, everyone fell silent.

Houndoom, who was ready to take Houndour out for a walk, awkwardly stopped in place.

Everyone's attention was focused squarely on Sandslash.

Sandslash wanted to continue clearing the land.

Natsume quickly grabbed Sandslash. "Alright, Sandslash."

"Today is for having fun."

"How about following Houndoom and the others to patrol the territory?"

Sandslash scratched its head.

Natsume teased, "Your ancestor must have been a farmer's Pokémon."

"No wonder it inherited the move Rototiller."

"Houndoom!"

Houndoom called out, then immediately approached and pushed Sandslash toward the forest.

Everyone was going out to have fun, and here you are, wanting to work?

Even though Sandslash only wanted to work on its own, seeing Sandslash working alone made it impossible for others to enjoy themselves.

"Sandslash, the land here is never-ending."

Natsume continued, "Just follow Houndoom today."

"Finish clearing the rest of the land tomorrow."

"Sandslash~"

Upon hearing this, Sandslash finally gave up on continuing to work.

The land is endless, just like the tasks.

If tasks were always done, it would truly become a machine.

Natsume stretched and said to the nearby Dragonair, "Dragonair, want to go fishing?"

"Dragonair~"

Dragonair nodded.

"Alright, I'll go get the fishing rod and bucket from the room."

"Farfetch'd!"

At that moment, Farfetch'd suddenly blocked Natsume's path.

Farfetch'd wanted to start training immediately.

Natsume looked at Farfetch'd with a slight twitch at the corner of her mouth. "Are you this eager too?"

"No wonder you're so strong."

"Farfetch'd!"

Natsume sighed, "Okay then."

"Was still thinking about who to give this to."

Natsume took out the Macho Brace from the quest reward.

The Macho Brace is a hard and heavy special device.

It can suppress a Pokémon's speed.

Wearing it for a long time allows the Pokémon to gain more experience points during exercise and battle.

Natsume put the Macho Brace on Farfetch'd. "Go ahead, follow your usual training routine for self-exercise."

"It might feel a bit strange at first, but once you get used to it, you can practice battle training with everyone else."

"I think it will help you a lot."

"Farfetch'd!"

Farfetch'd felt the weight of the Macho Brace.

"Farfetch'd!"

Farfetch'd waddled with its now heavier body to the empty plot of land and began practicing swinging its Leek.

"Dragonair, this is for you."

Natsume pulled out the Exp. Candy that provides a large amount of experience points.

"Dragonair~"

Dragonair opened its mouth and swallowed it.

Notice: Dragonair used the Exp. Candy, which provides a large amount of experience points, and its level increased to Level 34.

By the stream in the bamboo grove,

Dragonair coiled its body into a circle.

Natsume comfortably leaned against the circle, with some sunflower seeds and a cup of water resting on a small stool beside her.

The fishing float bobbed on the water's surface.

As the wind blew, the bamboo leaves rustled.

The afternoon sun was always warm, making one feel drowsy.

Unconsciously, Natsume's head rested on Dragonair's neck as she fell asleep.

Dragonair yawned and then lay down as well.

Rice Fragrance Village.

"This must be the place."

Toru looked around and muttered, "I want to see how impressive that farm owner really is."

Toru was a semi-professional trainer.

A semi-professional trainer refers to those who have their own work but still go challenge gyms during their free time.

"baa~"

By the roadside,

the old village chief passed by with his Skiddo.

Noticing Toru looking around, the village chief approached and asked, "Young man, are you lost?"

Toru quickly replied, "I'm here to find a farm. Can you tell me where it is?"

"Farm?"

The village chief looked Toru up and down. "Are you talking about Natsume's farm?"

"That should be it."

"What do you want to go to his farm for?"

Toru explained, "I'm here to challenge him."

The village chief's expression turned serious. "How can someone your age be challenging a child?"

"Huh?"

Toru was taken aback. "What child?"

"Of course, I mean Natsume."

The village chief scolded, "Young people like you should be challenging gyms, not coming here to challenge that child!"

Toru's face instantly turned red.

Those annoying online friends!

But since he was already here, he couldn't just turn back.

Toru explained the situation again.

After hearing it, the village chief replied curtly, "Fine."

"If you insist on going, then follow me."

"But I can't guarantee that Natsume will accept your challenge."
