Chapter 4
First Battle and Capture

“Fwu~”

The water sphere in the Mini Dragon's mouth quickly shot towards the Diglett.

“Diglett!”

The Diglett reacted quickly.

It quickly used its Dig skill to dodge the Water Pulse.

Boom~

With a muffled sound, the water sphere crashed into the water, stirring up a splash.

Natsume looked at the Mini Dragon looking left and right and comforted it: "Don't worry, while charging the Water Pulse in your mouth, climb up the bamboo pole."

“Fwu~”

This instruction from Natsume would have been a bit difficult for a normal Pokemon.

But the Mini Dragon's control over its energy was obviously excellent.

The water sphere in its mouth condensed again. At the same time, its small body immediately climbed up the bamboo pole.

Scrape~

The soil turned over.

The Diglett emerged.

“Diglett!”

The Diglett looked at the Mini Dragon wrapped around the bamboo and took a deep breath. Just as it was about to use Quick Attack, Natsume quickly shouted: “Now! Attack!”

“Fwu~”

The Water Pulse shot out, directly hitting the Diglett.

Boom~ Boom~

Two consecutive explosions sounded.

The first explosion was the damage caused by the Water Pulse hitting the Diglett.

The second explosion came from the Diglett's partially activated Quick Attack.

“Fwu!”

The Mini Dragon let out an excited cry, watching the Diglett lying unconscious on the ground.

Natsume immediately took out a Poke Ball: “Dreams illuminate reality, huh.”

“Go, Poke Ball!”

Natsume threw the Poke Ball in his hand towards the Diglett.

Natsume had fantasized about this scene countless times.

Bang~~

The Poke Ball hit the Diglett, with a red light shooting out.

The Diglett was taken into the Poke Ball.

Shake~ Shake~

The Poke Ball shook on the ground.

Natsume and the Mini Dragon approached the Poke Ball together, anxiously watching it.

Ding~

The Poke Ball stopped moving.

“Good job, Mini Dragon!”

Natsume happily extended his hand.

“Fwu~”

The Mini Dragon jumped up, its tail gently patting Natsume's hand.

Slap~

【First battle on the farm, mission completed】

【First capture on the farm, mission completely】

Natsume took out the Exp. Candy.

“Mini Dragon, eat one first.”

“Fwu~”

The Mini Dragon immediately opened its mouth and swallowed the Exp. Candy.

【Mini Dragon consumed the candy providing a small amount of experience, its level increased by 13 (423/1762)】

The Mini Dragon's level increased from Level 10 to Level 13.

“Not bad.”

Natsume immediately gave the remaining two to the Mini Dragon.

【Mini Dragon consumed the candy providing a small amount of experience, its level increased to Level 15 (1423/2162)】

【Mini Dragon consumed the candy providing a small amount of experience, its level increased to Level 16 (923/2862)】

“Level 16. If it were a starter Pokemon, it would have evolved by now.”

Natsume thought to himself.

“Fwu~”

At this moment, the Mini Dragon suddenly began to rub its body on the ground.

“This is…?”

Natsume looked at the Mini Dragon's current appearance and asked: “Are you shedding your skin?”

The Mini Dragon nodded.

From the moment the Mini Dragon was born, the life energy within its body has been constantly expanding.

Therefore, it would constantly shed its skin to allow its body to grow.

Soon, a piece of skin appeared under the Mini Dragon.

Natsume picked up the Mini Dragon's skin, looking at the Mini Dragon on the ground and said, "You seem to have grown a bit, Mini Dragon."

The Mini Dragon chirped happily.

Natsume rubbed the Mini Dragon's head and smiled: "Alright, let's meet your new friend.”

“Come out, Diglett~”

The Diglett was still quite weak at this time.

Natsume took out the healing spray and sprayed it twice towards the Diglett's body and mouth.

“Are you okay, Diglett?”

The Diglett recovered quickly.

It stood up, a little scared, looking at Natsume from the corner of its eyes.

“Don't be afraid, Diglett.”

Natsume held the Diglett up: “We are a family now.”

“By the way, I have some snacks in my bag. Do you want some?”

Natsume said, opening the backpack on his body.

Natsume didn't bring much with him today.

Some Pokemon food, his own lunch, and a few bottles of water.

The Pokemon food was made of freeze-dried tree fruits.

“Try some?”

Natsume took out a piece and handed it to the Diglett.

The Diglett carefully took it and then took a bite.

The Diglett's eyes lit up immediately, and it immediately ate all the freeze-dried food.

“Digg-dig!”

The Diglett thought that this human wasn't bad.

He not only healed its wounds but also gave it delicious food.

What bad intentions could he have?

Pokemon are such simple creatures.

The Diglett's call became brighter.

“Ba-ba~”

Not far away, the Riding Lamb ran towards them quickly.

It had a shovel, rake, sickle, and other agricultural tools tied to its back.

Natsume stepped forward and untied the things on its back.

“You did a good job, Riding Lamb.”

Natsume also fed the Riding Lamb a piece of freeze-dried food.

“Ba~"

“Digg-dig~”

The Diglett seemed to want to eat more. It was biting its finger, looking at the freeze-dried food in Natsume's hand with longing eyes.

Natsume squatted down and touched the Diglett's head, smiling slightly: “Do you want more?”

“Digg-dig~”

The Diglett quickly nodded.

Natsume looked at the Diglett and smiled: “No problem.”

“But we need to clear this land first.”

The Diglett looked at the barren land in front of it and raised its small arm.

“Digg-dig~”

The Diglett was full of enthusiasm.
