Chapter 23
It's Not Your Average Pidgeotto

On the grassy field.

Rotom brought over the Heal Grass.

The Buneary helped to apply the Heal Grass's juice to the wounds of the Croagunk and the Luxray.

Soon, these two Pokémon woke up.

"That's great."

Zhao Fan breathed a sigh of relief, then thanked the Pokémon in the farm with gratitude: "Thank you so much."

"Whack!"

Wobbuffet scratched its head foolishly.

"Croak!"

Croagunk called out to Zhao Fan, then rubbed its belly.

"Hungry?"

Croagunk nodded.

Zhao Fan looked at Rotom and asked, "Excuse me, can I build a fire here?"

"I'll ask Roto~"

Rotom was about to ask Natsume again when a loud cry suddenly came from afar.

"Arf!"

The sound of Houndoom reached the farm.

"Daruma!"

The Darumaka shook their bodies and ran towards the sound.

"Whack!"

Wobbuffet happily called out and ran towards that direction too.

"What is this?"

Zhao Fan looked at Rotom in confusion.

"This ah, Natsume and Houndoom are back, Roto~"

Rotom spun around in the air, then ran towards outside the farm with everyone else.

"Awoo!"

Houndoom rushed out from the forest and slowly stopped.

"Everyone is here."

Natsume smiled and got off Houndoom.

"Whack!"

Wobbuffet waved its paws at Natsume and then pointed towards the field.

They had plowed five acres of land in the morning.

Natsume looked at Wobbuffet, who seemed to be asking for praise, and immediately praised it: "Amazing, Wobbuffet."

"Indeed, the farm wouldn't be the same without you."

"Whack!"

Wobbuffet showed a silly smile.

Natsume took out a large cake: "Everyone, let's have some food."

"Buneary, you guys help to distribute it."

"Bune!"

The two Buneary opened the cake.

One was responsible for cutting, and the other was responsible for plating, then distributing it to Wobbuffet and the others.

Zhao Fan and his Pokémon walked over at this time.

"Hello, are you the farm owner here?"

Natsume nodded slightly: "Yes."

"This is my Peach Blossom Source."

Zhao Fan quickly thanked him again: "Thank you so much for your help."

"Honestly, I was about to go crazy earlier."

Natsume shook his head slightly: "No problem."

"When you are out, you are bound to encounter difficulties."

"Croak!"

Croagunk looked at the cake that Natsume brought back and wiped its drool.

Zhao Fan patted it, then looked at Natsume with embarrassment: "Can I build a fire here?"

"My Pokémon are hungry."

"Of course you can."

Natsume pointed towards the empty space where he grilled yesterday: "Here you go."

"Thank you so much."

Zhao Fan immediately took off the spatial backpack behind him.

He took out a set of foldable tables and chairs from inside.

A high-capacity gas stove and some cooking utensils.

Natsume looked at him with interest as he took out various equipment from the bag: "Very professional."

"Are you a professional trainer?"

Zhao Fan nodded: "I just graduated from university."

"Currently, I am training with the goal of entering the top ten of the provincial competition."

To participate in the provincial competition, you only need to obtain eight badges from city-level gyms.

At the same time, the provincial competition is also the first truly valuable trophy that many trainers yearn for.

"By the way, please allow me to treat you to a meal."

"Because I really don't know how to thank you."

Natsume smiled: "Okay."

Zhao Fan took out the Poké Ball.

Various vegetables and meat were all released.

"Honestly, I was planning to stay in the forest ahead until September."

"But I didn't expect to come out so soon."

Zhao Fan said with a bitter smile: "Indeed, we cannot underestimate nature."

Natsume looked at his Croagunk and Luxray.

Croagunk was level 27.

Luxray reached level 30.

This strength was already very strong in this area.

Natsume asked curiously: "How did your Pokémon get so badly injured?"

"There shouldn't be any particularly powerful Pokémon in this area, right?"

Zhao Fan said dejectedly: "It was beaten by a Farfetch'd."

"Ah?"

Natsume looked at Zhao Fan with a strange expression: "Farfetch'd?"

Farfetch'd is a Pokémon that lives near stalk-like plants.

Due to the decreasing number of these plants in the wild, and the fact that people went crazy catching Farfetch'd for a period of time, their numbers have become very difficult to see in the wild.

Zhao Fan looked at Natsume's gaze and quickly explained: "It's not that ordinary Farfetch'd."

"It's a Fighting-type Farfetch'd!"

There are two different types of Farfetch'd.

The first type is the Farfetch'd with Normal and Flying dual types.

The other is the Fighting-type Farfetch'd.

Professors of Pokémon evolution believe that the Fighting-type Farfetch'd is a self-evolution that ordinary Farfetch'd had to undergo to fight against the increasingly severe survival environment.

They evolved into a unique appearance by using their thick and long scallions to fight, and they are valiant warriors.

Natsume was a little surprised: "There are Fighting-type Farfetch'd in Lin Province?"

Zhao Fan said with a bitter smile: "I'm surprised too."

"However, no matter what, the potential of Fighting-type Farfetch'd is generally not bad, so I wanted to catch it."

"But I didn't expect that my two Pokémon didn't beat it."

Zhao Fan sighed: "I thought I was very strong after getting three gym badges, but I didn't expect to be taught a lesson so quickly."

Natsume thought of his battle mission.

"Since you're aiming for the provincial competition, would you mind fighting me after we eat?"

Zhao Fan was slightly stunned when he heard this, and his gaze towards Natsume immediately became serious: "Of course!"

"But since it's a battle, I won't hold back just because you helped me."

Natsume smiled: "That's only right."

Wild trainers often eat big pot stews for convenience.

All kinds of clean food are put into the pot, then a pot of firewood rice is cooked, which is enough.

Simple, convenient, and very delicious.

Soon, the aroma drifted out of the big pot along with the steam.
