Chapter 53
Sudden Downpour

“Mr. Natsume, you have to come watch when I participate in the Grand Contest.”

“And so does Donphan.”

Ye Ling called a flying taxi.

She stood at the door of the carriage, facing Natsume and Donphan, saying.

Natsume smiled, “I’ll be there.”

“Chuan chuan~"

Su Qianqian waved at Natsume from inside the carriage, “Then we’re off!”

Natsume waved at the two of them, “Goodbye.”

Rumble~

Not long after they left, a muffled thunderclap suddenly sounded in the sky.

Natsume looked up at the sky, “It’s going to rain.”

Natsume said to everyone beside the bamboo forest, “Everyone, quickly pack up the things here.”

“Juan juan~"

The Spritzee placed the uncooked food on plates, carried them and ran towards the house.

Whoosh~

Lightning struck the earth.

Immediately after, the rain came down.

Summer storms always come quickly.

Natsume took out his phone and looked at the crop water level indicator.

The symbol indicating the amount of water started to slowly rise.

There didn’t seem to be any problems for now.

However, if the water level exceeded the limit, it would affect the growth and yield of the Wonton Valley.

【Prompt: The farm has experienced its first natural rainfall. To avoid affecting the harvest of Wonton Valley, please build a drainage ditch as soon as possible.】

【Mission Reward: Provide a large amount of experience - Experience Fruit *3;】

Natsume opened Farm Story.

Shop - Build - Drainage Ditch.

The farm’s floorplan appeared on his phone.

Each mu of land looked like a small square on the phone.

Wonton Valley and Rolling Bean were growing on the squares.

Natsume moved his finger on the screen, the drainage ditch was built, and the outlet was connected to the small river behind the house.

Natsume clicked confirm.

The drainage ditch was built successfully, and 100,000 Elf Coins were deducted.

【Mission Completed: You have obtained Provide a large amount of experience - Experience Fruit *3】

The happiest on rainy days are probably the Water and Grass-type Pokémon.

The Water-type Pokémon that were originally in the river all surfaced.

Several Lotad happily floated in the water flow.

The Bug Pokémon also seemed very happy.

Bug Pokémon are Bug-type and Grass-type, and they also love rainy days like this.

“Bao pu.”

The Combee quickly took the Pokémon Eggs from its nest.

Natsume put down his phone and said to the Combee, “Combee, come with me to the house.”

“Bao pu~"

Natsume brought the Combee to the guest room on the first floor.

“Combee, you and the Axew’s Pokémon Eggs will stay here for now.”

“Bao pu~"

Combee placed Axew’s Pokémon Eggs on the pillow, then covered it with fallen leaves and continued to incubate.

Rumble~

Another bolt of lightning struck from the sky.

Rain pattered against the windows.

The rain was getting heavier.

Natsume looked out the window and said, “It seems like it’s going to be a big storm.”

“He-lu~”

The Darmanitan and Darumaka huddled under the eaves, shaking their bodies.

Water droplets splashed off their bodies.

Because they were Fire-type Pokémon, they quickly dried their bodies with their body temperature.

“Bubble~”

The Dedenne and Swoobat closed all the windows in the room together.

“Awoooo~”

The Houndoom yawned and lay down directly in the living room.

“Cha-mu!”

Even the Farfetch’d ran in because of the heavy rain.

The Farfetch’d carefully wiped the body of the leek behind it.

Obviously, the Farfetch’d cherished its leek very much.

Natsume took out all three experience candies and planned to use them to cook a bowl of sweet soup for everyone.

Boom~

“Juan juan!”

The two Spritzee seemed to be scared by the thunder outside.

They pulled Natsume’s pants on the left and right, looking at Natsume pitifully.

Natsume picked them up, then sat down on the sofa, “Don’t be afraid, it will be over soon.”

Leaning against Natsume, the Spritzee felt much more at ease.

Natsume turned on the TV.

The TV was broadcasting the news.

The host looked at the camera and said, “The Thousand-Year Comet is about to appear again.”

“Some people believe that the recent abnormal weather conditions in various places may be related to the Thousand-Year Comet. Let’s listen to the opinions of Dr. Li, the astronomer.”

The camera switched.

An old man with white hair and glasses said, “The Thousand-Year Comet will not have any impact on various places.”

“Everyone can rest assured about this.”

The reporter said, “Thank you, Dr. Li. Also, what everyone is most curious about regarding the Thousand-Year Comet is the legendary Pokémon, Jirachi.”

“Legend has it that Jirachi, which can grant any wish, will come to this world with the Thousand-Year Comet. Is this true?”

Dr. Li thought for a moment and then said, “According to historical records, Jirachi has indeed appeared every time the Thousand-Year Comet has appeared.”

“However, whether Jirachi is brought by the Thousand-Year Comet is still up for debate.”

Jirachi, the legendary Pokémon.

There has been a legend like this since the distant past.

When Jirachi awakens from its 1,000-year slumber, it will grant the wish written on the wish tag on its head.

When Jirachi is sleeping, it will be enveloped by a hard crystal to protect itself from intrusion.

But if it senses danger, it will fight in its sleep.

“Jirachi.”

Natsume sighed, “Speaking of which, I haven’t seen any of these legendary Pokémon.”

“Bao bao~”

The Bug Pokémon also ran in from outside at this time.

The heavy rain outside made them a little uncomfortable.

Natsume looked at the Bug Pokémon and smiled, “You came just in time.”

“The sweet soup is ready.”
