Pokémon: My Farm Adventures

One hundred square meters is a square that measures ten meters on each side.

Natsume used a measuring tape to mark the boundaries.

"This is the area."

"Sandshrew, let's start by cutting down the weeds together."

Natsume swung the sickle towards Sandshrew.

"Chirp chirp~"

Sandshrew waved its little claws and used Scratch.

The roots of the weeds in front of Sandshrew were easily severed.

"Dratini~"

Dratini used its tail to wrap around the weeds and then pulled them out with great effort.

Natsume swung the sickle again.

While the area wasn't large, the work was still quite tiring.

However, since it was his first time doing such a task, Natsume felt energized and motivated.

Before long, the previously overgrown wasteland was cleared, revealing a patch of open space.

Natsume picked up a piece of debris from the ground and tossed it aside.

After clearing the land, he needed to spread fertilizer to improve the soil quality.

One bag of basic fertilizer would be enough for one hundred square meters.

Natsume clicked on the shop in the Farm app.

A bag of basic fertilizer costs five hundred yen.

Natsume clicked to purchase it.

Purchase successful. Would you like to retrieve it?

"Retrieve."

Pop~

The fertilizer appeared in front of Natsume.

He opened the packaging and evenly spread the fertilizer over the one hundred square meters of land.

"All done."

After finishing, Natsume folded the empty bag and said to Sandshrew, "Now it's all up to you, Sandshrew."

"Chirp chirp~"

Sandshrew patted its chest proudly.

Natsume pointed forward: "Alright, Sandshrew, use Rototiller!"

"Chirp chirp~"

With a quick leap, Sandshrew began tilling the soil energetically.

The fertilizer mixed in with the dirt as it worked.

Natsume picked up his phone and opened Farm Story.

The game displayed Sandshrew in the process of using Rototiller.

Your Sandshrew discovered a treasure—Hard Stone during the Rototiller process. Would you like to retrieve it?

A new message suddenly appeared on the phone.

In reality, Sandshrew continued to till the ground normally.

But in the game, Sandshrew had unearthed a treasure.

Hard Stone is a Rock-type treasure that can enhance the power of Rock-type moves.

Natsume was momentarily surprised by the message on his phone and then looked around the wasteland.

"I wonder how many treasures we could find if we cleared this whole area?"

The future looks bright!

Clearing one hundred square meters of land: Task Complete.

Quest Reward: Hearty Grains seeds; 3 Exp. Candies providing a small amount of experience; Secret Technique: Rain Dance has been granted.

"Task complete, Sandshrew."

Natsume said to Sandshrew, "You can take a break for a bit."

New Quest Triggered: Complete a Harvest of Hearty Grains

Quest Reward: Eternity Power.

"Eternity Power?"

Natsume's eyes lit up: "Sandshrew, Dratini, it's time to get back to work!"

He originally intended for Sandshrew and Dratini to continue their tasks.

However,

"Chirp chirp!"

Sandshrew looked exhausted.

It sat down on the ground, panting heavily.

Dratini was also quite dirty at this point.

Seeing this, Natsume scratched his head: "Forget it, everyone can rest now."

"Sandshrew, this is for you."

Natsume squatted in front of Sandshrew and pulled out one of the Exp. Candies he had just received as a reward.

Sandshrew took it and popped it into its mouth to eat.

Notice: Sandshrew's level increased to 12.

"Chirp chirp~"

Sandshrew immediately felt a surge of energy within its body.

"Sandshrew!"

Sandshrew let out a happy cry.

Natsume smiled and gently patted Sandshrew on the head before giving the remaining two Exp. Candies to Dratini.

He then taught Dratini the move—Rain Dance.

Notice: Your Dratini has learned Rain Dance.

"Dratini~"

Dratini came over and rubbed against Natsume.

It began to shed its skin again.

Above, the sun was moving westward.

The heat in the air had dissipated significantly.

Natsume sat at the entrance of his still-untidy house, checking the maturation time for the Hearty Grains.

In real life, Hearty Grains take four months to mature.

However, if powerful Pokémon bless the land, this time can be shortened.

For example, the legendary Pokémon Xerneas.

Historical records state that during the Heian Period, there was a severe drought in the southern provinces.

Xerneas appeared and, overnight, turned a wasteland into a bountiful harvest!

"Even though I don't have Xerneas, I do have an accelerator."

Natsume thought cheerfully as he opened the Game Shop.

There were many items available for purchase in the shop.

In addition to various furniture, there were also plenty of high-tech gadgets.

For instance, a Sunlight Simulator, Automatic Rain Clouds, and a Time Accelerator.

The Time Accelerator can speed up the maturation time of plants.

If Natsume wanted his one hundred square meters of Hearty Grains to mature within a day, it would only cost 100,000 Pokémon Coins.

However, Natsume didn't have that much money on him right now.

"I need to go to the Pokémon Center and sell the Water Stone."

Natsume looked around; the sky was growing dimmer.

"Let's call it a day."

"Tomorrow I'll make a trip to the Pokémon Trading Center to sell the Water Stone, then come back to farming and renovate the house."

After planning for the next day, he turned to Dratini and Sandshrew: "Let's go, Dratini, Sandshrew."

"Dratini~"

Just as Dratini swam toward Natsume,

Boom~

An explosion suddenly erupted from the nearby woods.

"Roar~"

The cries of Pokémon mixed with the sounds of moves colliding.

Dratini immediately stopped in its tracks.

Sandshrew sat up from the ground, its gaze alert as it looked toward the source of the explosion.

Boom~

The howling grew closer!

Natsume furrowed his brow slightly.

Although he didn't know what was happening, it never hurts to be prepared for battle.

"Sandshrew, use Dig and get ready for an attack on my command."

"Chirp chirp!"

Sandshrew immediately used Dig.

"Dratini~"

Dratini gently swayed its tail, gathering Dragon-type energy at the tip.
