Chapter 22
Diary of the Duel

Downtown.

Frost Fairy Cake Shop.

Ding~ Dang~

The wind chime rang.

“Welcome!”

Shen Tian, wearing an apron, looked at Xia Mu who walked in and said: "Ah, Xia Mu."

“Why are you here?”

“Frost Frost~”

Frost Fairy waved to Xia Mu, then gave Xia Mu a small cake.

“Last day of school today.”

Xia Mu took the small cake Frost Fairy gave him and said: "So I thought I’d come buy a big cake to take back to my farm for the Pokémon to try.”

“Okay, pick one~“

Shen Tian smiled: "I'll make a super big one for you."

“Okay.”

Xia Mu pointed to a new product on the menu: "Just this sweet fruit cake.”

“No problem, take a seat on the couch.”

Xia Mu sat down in the lounge area, took out his phone, and opened Farm Story.

A new icon appeared on the game interface.

Battle Diary.

Xia Mu opened the Battle Diary.

The Battle Diary had eighteen gray gym badges.

This represented the eighteen attribute gyms Xia Mu needed to challenge across the country.

Under each gym, there were different rewards.

In addition, the Battle Diary also issued some tasks.

For example, the first page of the diary.

【Battle Task: Complete a spectacular Pokémon battle. 】

【Task Requirements: As a farm owner, you need to have the strength to protect your farm. Please defeat a powerful trainer (0/1)】

【Task Reward: Randomly draw a Property Gem once】

“What qualifies as a powerful trainer?”

【Hint: A trainer with at least 2 city-level gym badges】

“You need gym badges.”

Xia Mu looked at the task hint and thought: "Looks like I can't find random people to do tasks."

【Hint: Your Cutting Rotom found a batch of Healing Herbs while cutting grass. Do you want to transplant them?】

Healing Herbs have the ability to heal Pokémon.

All the healing sprays on the market use Healing Herbs as the main ingredient.

In ancient times, trainers would always carry some Healing Herbs when they went out.

Xia Mu clicked transplant.

The phone showed the current situation of the farm.

The newly reclaimed land added three acres.

Clearly, Rotom and the Dugtrio were diligently tilling the soil.

Xia Mu transplanted this batch of Healing Herbs next to the Rolycoly.

“Xia Mu, the cake is ready.”

Shen Tian called out to Xia Mu from inside the counter.

Xia Mu got up and walked over to take the cake into his Poké Ball.

Shen Tian said to Xia Mu: "Take the cake home and remember to put it in the fridge."

“Also, eat it as soon as possible.”

Xia Mu smiled: "Don't worry."

“The guys on the farm will definitely eat it all.”

“I'm leaving.”

Shen Tian looked at Xia Mu and said: “Okay, stay safe.”

“Come back often.”

“No problem.”

Frost Fairy also waved to Xia Mu.

“Let's go, Frost Fairy.”

Xia Mu came outside the store and sat on the back of the Houndoom: "Let’s go home, Houndoom.”

“Awoo~”

Houndoom shook its body and ran towards the city.

....

Farm!

“Dugtrio~”

Dugtrio looked at the newly plowed land, a proud look on its face.

“Buneary~”

The Buneary who helped in the field stood up straight, wiped the sweat from its forehead, and also showed a happy smile.

“Go for it, Rotom~”

Rotom said to everyone with gusto: "We have to surprise Xia Mu when he comes back~"

“Dugtrio~”

Dugtrio was full of enthusiasm!

“Delcatty!”

Just then, the Delcatty who were patrolling around suddenly made a warning sound.

“Dugtrio!”

Dugtrio heard the Delcatty’s cry, immediately became serious, and ran towards them.

Far from the outside of the farm.

A figure was running quickly towards this side.

“Is anyone there?!”

He ran towards this side anxiously.

“Delcatty!”

The Delcatty rushed forward and blocked him.

The man glanced at the Delcatty and the farmland behind them, and immediately realized he had come to a farm.

He quickly introduced himself to the Delcatty: "My name is Zhao Fan, I'm a trainer."

“My Luxray and Croconaw are both seriously injured. Can you help me make a call for help?”

“Delcatty?”

The Delcatty looked at each other, not backing down.

Zhao Fan said anxiously: “Is your owner here?”

“Can you ask him to come over?”

Rotom flew over at this time and listened to Zhao Fan’s words: "Xia Mu is back in school, oh~"

“I'll call him to see if he’s available~"

“School?”

Zhao Fan was stunned for a moment, then said: “Can you please help me call for an ambulance?”

“My phone is broken too, please help me.”

“Don't worry Rotom~”

Rotom said: "Xia Mu can heal Pokémon.”

The phone was connected quickly.

“What’s wrong, Rotom?”

Xia Mu’s voice rang: "What happened?"

“It's like this Rotom, a trainer’s Pokémon is injured.”

“Should we help him?”

Rotom turned on the video mode to let Xia Mu see Zhao Fan, who was anxious at this moment.

Xia Mu glanced at him, then said: "Is the Squirtle here?"

“It's here, Rotom.”

“Cha-nay~”

The Squirtle who was sunbathing on the roof jumped over.

“Squirtle, please use Grassy Terrain on the empty space.”

“Cha-nay~”

Squirtle looked at Zhao Fan, then used Grassy Terrain beneath him.

“Grassy Terrain?”

Of course Zhao Fan knew this skill. He exclaimed excitedly: "Thank you so much."

“Come out, Luxray, Croconaw.”

The Luxray and Croconaw, whose external injuries looked very serious, lay on the Grassy Terrain.

“They're so badly injured?”

Xia Mu looked at their scarred bodies in surprise, and continued: “Rotom, go to the Rolycoly, get a few leaves of the Healing Herbs.”

“You should know how to use it right?”

Rotom immediately said: “I've already checked the instructions, leave it to me~"

“Okay, I'll be back soon.”

Xia Mu put down his phone, patted the Houndoom under him and said: "Houndoom, speed up."

“Awoo~”
