Chapter 3
The Gopher Who Tills the Land

“Water Stone?”

“You’re in luck.”

Natsume didn’t expect that letting Mini-Dragon swim in the real world and synchronizing it with the game would become a treasure hunt.

And it even found a Water Stone.

“It seems I should have my Pokémon wander around more often in the future.”

Natsume took out his phone and searched for the price of a Water Stone.

The average price of a Water Stone was one million.

The old village chief then pointed to a dried-up pond next to the stream, “There used to be a lot of aquatic life here.”

“If you want to continue raising fish, I can connect you with the breeding farm over there.”

Natsume glanced at the pond and shook his head slightly, “I don’t plan to raise ordinary aquatic life.”

“If I were to raise anything, I would prefer raising Water-type Pokémon.”

“But for now, I think I’ll focus on clearing the fields first.”

The old village chief smiled upon hearing this, “You’re right. You have to take things step by step.”

“Okay, you’ve seen the place. How does it feel?”

Natsume looked at the surrounding environment and said, “Although everything here is in a state of disrepair, I feel full of hope.”

“So, I’m going to stay!”

The old village chief nodded slightly at Natsume, “If that’s the case, then I won’t say anything more.”

“It’s getting late. Do you want me to send you down the mountain?”

Natsume shook his head slightly, “I want to get some work done today. I can go back myself at night.”

The first task was to clear a hundred square meters of land.

This wasn’t too difficult.

The old village chief looked at Natsume with appreciation, “Then I’ll have the sheep ride bring you some tools later.”

“Thank you, Village Chief.”

“Fuwoo~”

Mini-Dragon swam up from the water at this moment.

It also called out to the old village chief, expressing its gratitude.

The old village chief chuckled, “Then I’ll be off.”

“Also, if you run into any trouble, just contact me again.”

“Yes.”

After the old village chief left.

Natsume rolled up his pants and sat by the river.

The stream was very cool.

A Magikarp swam past Natsume’s feet. It stared blankly at Natsume for a moment before swimming away.

Natsume lay down on his back.

“Poyo~”

Two Pidgey flew by chasing each other.

The air had a natural fragrance.

Natsume took a deep breath, “This world, it’s amazing~”

“Fuwoo~”

Mini-Dragon climbed up Natsume’s chest and lay on his chest.

Natsume picked up Mini-Dragon and shook it, laughing happily, “It really is Mini-Dragon.”

“Fuwoo?”

Mini-Dragon looked at Natsume in confusion.

Natsume sat up, “Okay~”

“For the sake of our future happiness, we have to start working hard!”

“Fuwoo~”

Mini-Dragon was full of enthusiasm!

“If we’re going to work, we need as many hands as possible.”

“Mini-Dragon, let’s go catch some partners.”

If Natsume wanted to take the Elite Trainer route, then catching Pokémon would require considering both their personalities, potential, and his finances.

But since he was going to be a farmer, he naturally wanted more Pokémon the better!

More importantly, a Pokémon that can work is not only more productive than ordinary humans, but it only needs to be fed.

Natsume looked around, “Although I need to catch more Pokémon, for now, I should consider Pokémon that can help me.”

In the pond, the Lombre were still basking in the sun.

The Magikarp and Finneon were all slowly swimming.

“They don’t even have hands, they probably can’t do much work, unless they know some useful skills.”

As Natsume was thinking this, he noticed the soil on the ground flipping outwards.

A Diglett emerged.

“Digg~”

The Diglett shook its body, wiggling its butt as it walked to the stream and lowered its head to drink water.

Natsume stared at the Diglett’s body.

Its data immediately appeared before Natsume’s eyes.

【Name: Diglett】

【Type: Ground】

【Level: Lv. 9】

【Ability: Sand Veil】

【Individual Value Potential: HP (22), Attack (18), Defense (20), Special Attack (18), Special Defense (21), Speed (18)】

【Skills: Scratch, Rollout, Mud-Slap, Dig, Dig, Quick Attack】

【Inherit Skills: None】

【Potential: Elite】

Natsume could see through the Pokémon’s data, this was also a cheat code given to him when the farm game started.

Pokémon potential is divided into Ordinary, Good, Excellent, Elite, Gym Leader, Quasi-Champion, Champion, Champion, Sect Master, God Level.

This Diglett’s data could actually be considered very good for ordinary people.

However, for Natsume, what was more important was that this Diglett actually knew Dig!

“Fuwoo.”

Natsume had Mini-Dragon move forward, “Fight against this Diglett.”

“Fuwoo~”

Mini-Dragon immediately swam forward and called out to the Diglett.

Mini-Dragon challenged the Diglett!

“Digg~”

After finishing its water, the Diglett patted its stomach. It turned around, its eyes somewhat wary of Mini-Dragon.

【Side Quest: The Farm’s First Battle】

【Quest Description: To develop and protect the farm, you will face various battles in the future. Now please defeat the Diglett in front of you.】

.

【Side Quest: The Farm’s First Catch】

【Quest Description: To develop and protect the farm, you need more partners. Please catch a new partner】

【Quest Rewards: Poké Ball*10; Healing Spray*1】

“The rewards are pretty good.”

After reading the quest prompts, Natsume ordered Mini-Dragon directly, “Go, Mini-Dragon.”

“Use Water Pulse!”

“Fuwoo~”

Mini-Dragon opened its mouth slightly, a ball of water gathering in its mouth.

Diglett is a Ground-type Pokémon.

To deal with Ground-types, you naturally use Water-type moves!
