Ding dong~

Ding dong~

Ding dong~

Natsume's phone on his bedside table kept ringing.

Natsume lay in bed, reaching for it.

“Roll~”

Roll ear ran in.

It hopped onto Natsume's bed with the phone, then handed it to him.

“Thanks, Roll ear.”

Natsume took the phone and gave Roll ear a kiss on the face.

“Roll~”

Natsume checked the ranch notifications on his phone, then turned to Roll ear who was lying on his pillow and asked, “Roll ear, is Sandshrew already in the field?”

“Roll~”

Roll ear nodded.

“That guy.”

Natsume sat up from the bed and walked towards the balcony.

“Peck!”

In front of the house.

Farfetch'd was diligently swinging his leek!

His training method was simple, just using his skills against the air repeatedly.

Growlithe had already patrolled the farm and came back.

“Peck!”

Farfetch'd blocked Growlithe's path, challenging him!

“Growl!”

Growlithe accepted the challenge.

“Peck!”

Farfetch'd immediately dragged his leek towards Growlithe.

Farfetch'd was still wearing a forced training device.

This greatly limited his performance.

Growlithe easily dodged Farfetch'd's attack.

“Buzz~”

Golbat flew over with a yawn.

Everyone else had already woken up, but Golbat was ready to go to sleep.

“Did you encounter anything last night?”

Natsume let Golbat land on his shoulder.

“Buzz~”

Golbat shook his head.

He had been guarding the roof of the house all night and there was no wild Pokemon or strange people breaking in.

Growlithe and the others woke up in the middle of the night, and Golbat even went out for a stroll.

“You've worked hard, go to sleep.”

Golbat flapped his wings and flew into the closet.

Natsume went to the living room.

The other Roll ear was helping Rotom prepare breakfast.

Its domestic skills were quite strong and it had already learned to make simple food.

For example, sandwiches.

Fry two eggs, slice two pieces of tomato, and add a piece of pork chop.

Toast the bread and put it together, and a super-sized sandwich is complete.

“Roll~”

Roll ear brought the breakfast to Natsume, looking at him with anticipation.

After taking a bite, Natsume praised, “Very good, Roll ear.”

“You're already at the level to open a restaurant.”

Under Natsume's compliments, Roll ear happily jumped up and down.

Natsume said with a smile, “Roll ear, please call Sandshrew and the others.”

“I have something to say.”

“Roll~”

Roll ear nodded and happily ran out.

Since the strength of Hakuryuu and the others had all grown, Natsume planned to go to Aoyama District.

Aoyama District is the largest wild Pokemon sanctuary in Lin Province.

You can encounter all kinds of Pokemon living in Lin Province there.

“Hak~”

Hakuryuu flew in from the window.

“Good morning, Hakuryuu.”

Natsume stroked Hakuryuu's chin and then took out the Luminous Clay.

“Hakuryuu, this is for you.”

Hakuryuu opened its mouth and swallowed the Luminous Clay.

Luminous Clay can increase the effectiveness of skills like Light Screen and Reflect for Pokemon.

Any Pokemon can consume it.

Natsume currently lacked high-end combat power, so he planned to level up Hakuryuu first.

【Tip: Hakuryuu has absorbed the Luminous Clay, Hakuryuu's level has increased by 36...37..39..42】

【Hakuryuu has learned new skills: Aqua Tail, Mystical Guard, Dragon Rush, Light Screen.】

“Hak~”

Hakuryuu felt the energy in its body and burped comfortably, then Hakuryuu began to shed its skin.

After a while, Sandshrew and the others were all called to the living room by Roll ear.

Natsume looked at Sandshrew and the others and said, “Everyone, after breakfast, we'll plant the Lucky Valley Seeds first.”

“After planting the Lucky Valley Seeds, I plan to take a trip out. The rest of you will stay at home and plant the Peach Peach Fruit saplings.”

Natsume finished speaking, then looked at everyone and said, “The purpose of going to Aoyama District is to find more companions to help.”

“Who wants to go?”

“Hak~”

Hakuryuu quickly called out.

Natsume looked at Hakuryuu and smiled, “You're the driver this time.”

“Of course, I'm going.”

Sandshrew was hesitant.

Natsume looked at Sandshrew and said, “Sandshrew, don't worry about it, just stay at home and help me till the land.”

“Sand~Sand~”

Sandshrew readily agreed.

“Peck!”

Farfetch'd wanted to stay and continue training.

“No problem.”

“Growl~”

Growlithe leader felt that protecting the territory was more important.

So Growlithe and the Houndour all chose to stay.

“Cha~”

Serperior wanted to go with Natsume.

“Aw~“

Houndoom also wanted to go.

Natsume nodded slightly, “Then this time, it will be me, Houndoom, Hakuryuu, and Serperior going out.”

“The rest of you stay home.”

“Roll~”

Roll ear quickly pulled Natsume's clothes.

They also wanted to go out with Natsume.

Natsume rubbed their heads and said, “This trip to Aoyama District, there will probably be a lot of battles.”

“You guys stay home.”

“Next time we go out to play, we'll go out together.”

Natsume's two Roll ear normally didn't like battling.

Plus, Natsume didn't plan to bring too many Pokemon this time.

Three Pokemon are enough.

“Roll.”

Roll ear looked at Natsume with reluctance.

Natsume smiled, “Alright, next time we go out, I'll definitely bring you.”

After getting Natsume's assurance, Roll ear became happy again.

After eating, Natsume brought everyone to the farmland.

Ten acres of land were all planted with Lucky Valley seeds.

Because there was a Time Accelerator from the task reward, this time, there was no need to spend money.

“Hakuryuu, Rain Dance~”

Hakuryuu flew above the field.

Rain clouds gathered slowly.

Since ancient times, Hakuryuu has been worshipped as a controller of weather by people engaged in agriculture.

People believed that it could manipulate the weather, so offerings were always plentiful in the lake where Hakuryuu lived.

Pitter patter~

Rain fell evenly over the ten acres of fertile land.

【Tip: Watering level reached.】

“That's enough, Hakuryuu.”

“Hak~”

Hakuryuu let out a gentle chirp, and the rain clouds dissipated.

“Sand~Sand~”

Sandshrew looked excitedly at the Lucky Valley growing in the field.

Natsume said with a smile, “Sandshrew, we'll leave these Lucky Valley in your care while we're gone.”

“Sand~Sand~”

Natsume took out the Peach Peach Fruit saplings and said to Rotom, “Rotom, you and everyone else plant these saplings later.”

“You can be in charge of this.”

“Of course, Roto~”
