Pokémon: My Farm Adventures

Chapter 68: Chapter 68: Battle in Aoi District! The Farm's Hot Spring



In this world, some legendary Pokémon and mythical Pokémon exist to maintain the balance of nature.

This is their duty, or rather, their divine calling.

For example, in the legends are the Ranger and the Temple of the Sea, Manaphy.

Or the three special birds known as Moltres, Zapdos, and Articuno.

The anger of these Pokémon is enough to plunge the world into certain disasters.

There are ambitious individuals who desire to achieve their goals through these Pokémon, such as awakening Groudon to create land, or using the powers of legendary Pokémon to conquer the world.

With such ambitious individuals, there are also countless righteous individuals who work hard to maintain peace in the world.

Rangers are such individuals.

The arrival of the Millennial Comet is just a festive celebration for ordinary people.

Moreover, this festival only occurs once every thousand years.

But for the rangers, they have always been ready to engage in battle.

Inside the Aoi District ranger base.

The Flying-type gym leader Ohtaka frowned tightly.

Daylight was approaching, but Jirachi had still not been found.

"It shouldn't be this way."

The staff member beside him muttered, "When Jirachi sleeps, its entire life is bound to Aoi District, so we can't find its traces."

"But if it awakens, there should definitely be some energy fluctuations."

"We should be able to find it easily."

"Is it possible that the historical records are wrong?"

Ohtaka tightened his frown and said, "Impossible."

"The existence of Jirachi has been recorded throughout the histories of multiple dynasties."

"It's unlikely that those historical dynasties would deceive us thousands of years later."

The staff member said, "If the historical records are correct, then there's only one possibility."

Ohtaka understood his meaning.

This possibility is that Jirachi has been taken away by someone!

The staff member looked at Ohtaka and asked, "Ohtaka gym leader, if Jirachi has indeed been taken, what should we do now?"

Ohtaka thought for a moment and then said, "Prepare for the worst."

"If Jirachi has been taken by someone with ulterior motives, their goal must be the energy within Jirachi."

"According to records, after Jirachi awakens, it will open its True Eye to absorb energy from the Millennial Comet sufficient to sustain the land."

"At that time, a pillar of light will connect the earth with the Millennial Comet in the universe."

"A pillar of light that connects heaven and earth cannot be completely hidden."

Ohtaka said, "So, whoever has taken Jirachi will eventually leave traces behind."

The staff member said, "Understood."

"I will report the situation here to headquarters right now, so rangers around the world can prepare for emergency readiness."

Ohtaka nodded and said, "Also, continue to patrol Aoi District."

"Yes."

Meanwhile, inside that aircraft.

Takahashi-hakase paced back and forth!

"It shouldn't be this way!"

"This shouldn't be happening!"

"The records cannot be wrong."

"Where is Jirachi?"

"My Jirachi, where is it?"

The cloaked man looked at the pacing Takahashi-hakase and said irritably, "Are you asking me?"

"I want to ask you!"

"Damn it, you were so sure last night, and now look!"

Infiltrating Aoi District was already a risky venture.

But now, daylight was almost here.

Yet they still had not found Jirachi.

Naturally, the mood of this group of people was not good.

Takahashi-hakase stopped and said, "Do you think Jirachi has already been relocated by the rangers?"

The cloaked man replied irritably, "I'm a battle personnel, not an intelligence officer, don't ask me."

"Takahashi-hakase, what should we do now?"

"Are we leaving or not?"

Takahashi-hakase rubbed his face vigorously: "Let me think, let me think some more."

"Pidgeot~"

In this area nearby,

Haruto happened to be patrolling with his Pidgeot.

Haruto sat on Pidgeot, stretching his body while looking at the sunrise in the distance.

"Looks like it's going to be a nice day, Pidgeot~"

"Pidgeot~"

Pidgeot called out in response.

"Murkrow~"

In the sky, a Murkrow flew by, cawing.

Haruto waved to the Murkrow and greeted, "Good morning, Murkrow~"

"Murkrow~"

The Murkrow glanced at Haruto and then flapped its wings, preparing to land.

As Murkrow looked down at the woods, it accelerated~

Bang~

Murcrow's face collided with an invisible barrier.

Haruto was slightly stunned at the scene but quickly reacted.

"Headquarters, this is 027."

"We have a situation!"

After reporting, Haruto unhesitatingly commanded, "Pidgeot, Air Cutter!"

"Pidgeot~"

Pidgeot flapped its wings powerfully.

In front of Pidgeot, Flying-type energy condensed into a blade of wind that sliced forward.

Bam~

The energy surged, and a light blue energy barrier rose.

Inside the barrier, a black aircraft was revealed.

Inside the aircraft.

"Damn!"

The cloaked man inside the aircraft cursed in frustration, "I waited all night and got nothing, and now we have to fight!"

"Skarmory, go out and stop it!"

"Prepare to retreat!"

Suddenly—

A flash of red light burst out from the window.

Skarmory flapped its wings and flew towards Pidgeot.

The tail of the aircraft spewed flames, immediately ascending into the sky.

"Talonflame!"

In the sky, a Talonflame rapidly approached from the distance.

Its speed was astonishing.

Boom!

Scorching flames shot towards the aircraft.

The energy barrier around the aircraft trembled violently and flickered.

Behind Talonflame, Ohtaka flew in on a Corviknight.

The two flying Pokémon blocked the path of the aircraft.

"I am Ohtaka, the Flying-type gym leader of Japan."

Ohtaka shouted, "I suspect you are illegally trespassing in a restricted area. Please land immediately and submit to inspection!"

The cockpit door opened.

The cloaked man stepped out from inside.

He released a Fearow and then flew up to Ohtaka on it.

"We are researchers from the Earth Biotechnology Company."

"We are here to search for fossils underground."

"This is our permit."

Ohtaka took the permit and glanced at it.

The permit had been applied for three years ago.

Ohtaka glanced at it and was too lazy to determine whether it was real or fake.

He directly tore the so-called permit into pieces: "I suspect it's fake."

"So you will land and submit to inspection!"

The corners of the cloaked man's mouth twitched as he looked at Ohtaka and said, "What if I don't?"

Ohtaka calmly replied, "You can give it a try."

The cloaked man stared at Ohtaka and said, "It's said that Ohtaka, the Flying-type gym leader of Tokyo, is the strongest Flying-type master in Japan."

"Today, I really don't believe it."

"Skarmory."

Skarmory flapped its wings and soared into the sky.

Talonflame followed it up.

No trainer command was needed.

Skarmory faced the incoming Talonflame and used Steel Wing.

Talonflame's body glowed white.

Its body spun quickly, narrowly avoiding the edge of Steel Wing, and circled above Skarmory.

Aerial Ace!

Bang!

Talonflame slammed into Skarmory.

Before Skarmory could counterattack,

Talonflame condensed flames in its mouth.

Whoosh!

Talonflame unleashed Flamethrower!

The scorching flames instantly engulfed Skarmory's entire body.

The cloaked man touched the Poké Ball in his pocket, his expression fluctuating as he looked at Ohtaka.

It was clear that there was a significant strength gap between the two sides.

At that moment, Takahashi-hakase stepped out and said, "Stop fighting, let him check it."

The cloaked man let go of the Poké Ball in his hand.

Ohtaka waved his hand, and the rangers around immediately entered the aircraft.

The cloaked man looked at Ohtaka and said, "It seems you haven't found what you were looking for!"

Whether it was Ohtaka or the group from the biotechnology company in front of him, their goal was Jirachi.

Both parties were well aware of this.

Ohtaka replied calmly, "It doesn't matter if I find it or not; what's important is that people like you can't find it."

The two sides had nothing more to say.

But at that moment, the same question arose in their minds.

Where has Jirachi gone?

Takamagahara - Farm!

The sun rose.

"Wake up in the morning and embrace the sun~"

"Everyone, let's go, Rotom~"

Rotom carried the speaker and followed beside Natsume and Chimchar.

From the speaker, a catchy tune played.

Today, Natsume rarely woke up early to run training with Farfetch'd and the others.

At this moment, Natsume was leading everyone around the farm in a lap.

Jirachi's little legs were moving quickly on the ground.

"Full of positive energy~"

Jirachi raised its little hand and shouted along with Rotom.

Hearing Jirachi's shout, Natsume couldn't help but feel a bit overwhelmed.

"Rotom, can you play a different song?"

Rotom scratched its head, "Alright~"

"But Rotom thinks this one is really fun!"

Jirachi imitated Rotom and said, "It's so much fun~"

The recently awakened Jirachi was clearly filled with enthusiasm and curiosity about everything.

Natsume looked at Jirachi and sighed, "Oh no."

"I feel like I'm leading you astray."

"Chimchar~Chimchar~"

Chimchar was beside Natsume.

It was running while continuously swinging its fists.

Occasionally, flames would burst out from above.

Chimchar had completely learned the Fire Punch move.

"Heracross."

In the orchard, the Heracross with Near Champion Potential looked enviously at Natsume and the others.

It wanted to train with everyone too.

However,

Heracross glanced back at its kin or relatives.

They were lounging on the tree, drinking tree juice.

Heracross felt that if it joined Natsume and the others, it would seem very out of place.

This made Heracross feel conflicted.

"Ralts~"

Ralts glanced at the Heracross and then said to Natsume, "Natsume, it wants to train with us."

Natsume stopped in his tracks upon hearing this.

Natsume walked over to Heracross and waved his hand.

"Good morning, Heracross."

"Heracross."

"Heracross, do you want to run with us?"

Heracross glanced back at its kin.

Natsume smiled and said to Heracross's leader, "Hey, this Heracross is joining us today."

"This child wants to train with us."

Heracross's leader waved his hand nonchalantly: "Heracross~"

Go ahead, go ahead~

Heracross was shocked!

It turned out the leader didn't mind?

Natsume patted the Heracross beside him and said, "In my farm, don't overthink things."

"If you want to do something, just go do it."

"So come on, keep up."

After Natsume said this, he ran back to his team: "Everyone, let's go~"

"Chimchar~"

Chimchar energizingly did a somersault.

Heracross looked at Natsume and the others running and then glanced at its kin.

"Heracross!"

Heracross joined the morning run.

They ran past the orchard and circled around the fields.

Natsume and the others stopped in front of the cabin.

"Farfetch'd!"

Farfetch'd waved to Chimchar.

They were about to start move training.

Natsume looked at Heracross and said, "Go join them."

"Heracross~"

Heracross nodded and then followed behind Chimchar.

Natsume looked up at the high sun.

"It's getting hotter."

Natsume took off his short-sleeve shirt and walked toward the room.

Lopunny reached out and took Natsume's clothing.

"Lopunny~"

Do you want to take a bath together~?

Lopunny eagerly looked at Natsume and asked.

"Sure, I guess."

Natsume scratched his head as he looked at Lopunny: "But Lopunny, you're all so big; it would be crowded in the bathtub."

"Lopunny."

Lopunny looked disappointed.

"Uh, let me think."

Natsume looked at Lopunny and said, "Why not build a small hot spring?"

"In that case, we can all bathe together."

"Lopunny~"

Lopunny was happy.

At that moment, Natsume instinctively imagined himself and Lopunny crammed in the bathtub.

Ralts noticed Natsume's expression suddenly change and waved its little hand slightly.

With the breeze~

The soothing sound of the Soothe Bell echoed.

All those messy thoughts immediately dispersed.

Natsume suddenly felt significantly refreshed.

"Jirachi wants to take a bath too~"

Jirachi floated in front of Natsume.

Natsume stretched out his hands and hugged Jirachi, smiling, "Alright."

Natsume looked around.

"If we're going to build a hot spring,"

Natsume's gaze fell upon the bamboo grove behind the house.

Natsume walked into the bamboo grove and opened Farm Story.

Build - Hot Spring - Placement Successful.

A steaming hot spring instantly appeared in the center of the bamboo grove.

The hot spring water can be replaced through Farm Story.

Changing it costs only one hundred yen.

"Wow~ So amazing~"

Jirachi exclaimed in awe at the suddenly appearing hot spring and then dove right into it.

Natsume took off his clothing and walked in as well.

The water temperature was very comfortable.

Natsume leaned against the edge of the pool, tilting his head back and looking at the surrounding bamboo leaves.

As the wind blew~

The bamboo leaves swayed slightly.

"So comfortable~"

Ding dong~

Natsume's phone bell rang.

The caller was Yamada Kaichou.

Natsume answered the phone and said, "Yamada Kaichou, your calls always come in so early."

"Natsume gym leader, have you not gotten up yet?"

Natsume replied, "I'm up; I'm soaking in the hot spring."

Yamada Kaichou: "???"

Natsume smiled and asked, "Is the badge ready?"

Yamada Kaichou was much more attentive to Natsume's gym than Natsume was.

He took care of various matters personally.

Yamada Kaichou said, "It's already made."

"By the way, will the opening time be directly in the afternoon?"

"Isn't there anything that needs to be promoted?"

Natsume casually responded, "There's no need for promotion."

"Such things are best left to the challengers."

Yamada Kaichou said, "I understand."

"Do you need me to find someone to help you manage challenger reservations?"

"No need; my Rotom will handle it."

Natsume thought for a moment and added, "By the way, my farm still doesn't have a doctor Pokémon."

"If the association can manage it, could you send one over?"

"That's no problem."

"Thanks for that."

After finishing his conversation, Natsume hung up the phone.

The two Lopunny walked up to Natsume and asked, "Lopunny~"

Would you like a massage~

Lopunny had noticed before evolution that Natsume really enjoyed having someone massage him while he soaked.

It made Natsume feel extremely comfortable.

Natsume nodded slightly, "Sure."

"You're so kind, Lopunny~"

Lopunny then walked out of the pool.

The hot spring water dripped down from Lopunny's body.

Lopunny knelt behind Natsume and gently massaged his shoulders and neck.

Natsume thought to himself, this is what a divine life must feel like.

Swish swish~

The bamboo leaves swayed with the wind.

Ding~

The soothing sound of the Soothe Bell echoed softly.
