Pokémon Farm

Chapter 8 A New Beginning and Foodies

The next morning, countless tender shoots of grass sprouted from the soil in the area that had been transformed by Potian. This was thanks to the forest's efforts throughout the night, and one couldn't help but marvel at the forest's recovery.

Xuan Mingtian, who had been awake for half an hour, was staring at his little cutie in the tent.

"What are you looking at?" "What are you looking at?" Both voices rang out simultaneously.

Xuan Mingtian looked at the little cutie speechlessly and said, "You tell me first, why are you here?"

"Of course I'm here to sleep! What else would I be doing here? Playing? But how can I play happily in such a small place?" The little cutie looked at Xuan Mingtian with an innocent expression.

Hearing this, Lao Zi almost spat out blood. His aunt was right: "Do you know that this is my tent and my bed?"

"Ah, what do you mean 'yours' and 'mine'? I saw you sleeping here, so I slept here when I was sleepy." Luckily, I'm smart, otherwise I would have lost this lifelong meal ticket. I really want to taste his life force.

Xuan Mingtian was speechless, thinking, "That makes so much sense. I can't argue with it. I can't get angry, I can't get angry. It's a little cutie, I can't be angry with it." (Mainly because he couldn't beat it.)

"Let's go then, get up and wash up." After saying that, she picked up the little cutie and walked out without saying another word.

Upon stepping out of the tent, the most eye-catching figure was Potian. His jet-black blade arm and silver-white blade gleamed coldly, with black patterns adorning his joints. His entire body had changed from dark green to emerald green.

Scyther (Mutant + Flash)

Attributes: Insect, Flying

Characteristics: Unyielding Spirit, Steel Blade, Master Technician

Qualifications: Qing

Strength: Intermediate Trainer

Skills: Lightning Flash, Air Slash, Cross Slash, Double Strike, Cleave, Charge, Combo Slash, Wing Attack

Evaluation: Is this an elf? No, it's a monster.

Xuan Mingtian stared in disbelief at the panel's description. The new feature, Steel Blade, could withstand temperatures of 1000 degrees Celsius and increased slashing skills by 20%. It could easily cut through ordinary rocks and iron blocks. Seeing this, one couldn't help but marvel at what a divine skill for a swordsman could be.

He walked up to Potian and patted it on the shoulder: "You're great. Go and get used to your body first, and I'll give you a training plan." He couldn't say anything more, since he had only started by following his own ideas, and it had worked on the first try.

"Little Tower, are these the tree fruits you collected?"

At this moment, Little Tower pointed with its leaf at the little cutie next to it.

Xuan Mingtian asked, "Did you pick them last night?"

"Of course I picked them. I ate all your food last night, so I went to pick some back." At this moment, Dream felt a little embarrassed. Although she was a homebody and liked to play, she still understood social etiquette.

Xuan Mingtian said with a serious expression, "Then when are you leaving?"

At this moment, Mew wrapped its tail around its ear and said, "Ah, what are you saying? I can't hear you."

Xuan Mingtian said, "Then you can go cool off somewhere else."

"Okay," she said, and ran off to the tropical dragon.

"Well, another gluttonous ancestor." Xuan Mingtian was already feeling helpless at this point.

After breakfast, we went to Potian's training area. There it was, facing a wooden stake, a flash of cold light, and the stake was instantly split in half.

"Potian, this kind of training won't work. Go get two stones and tie them to your twin swords. Then swing them up and down five thousand times. Only after you've mastered that can you move on to the next stage of training. You also need to wear the weighted bracelets. With your current physical strength, you can withstand twice the gravity." After Xuanmingtian's exhausting output yesterday afternoon, Potian's physical strength, although not as good as Dehua Xiaota's after being nourished by life essence for a long time, was twice as strong as yesterday.

"And after you finish training, don't do anything else. Refine and familiarize yourself with the energy of the items within your body. Remember not to rush to release skills." After giving Potian these instructions, Xuan Mingtian idly strolled around with the little tower.

“Little Tower, each of you take a bag of tree fruit and come with me. Let’s go find out if there are any Big Needle Peaks nearby. I suddenly want to eat Big Needle Peak honey.”

Twenty minutes later...

“Little Tower, why don’t you ask the elves around here to see where the Great Needle Clan is? We’ve been walking for a full twenty minutes and have only seen Little Rattata the Caterpillar. We haven’t seen a single other elf.”

Five minutes later, Little Tower kept chattering and pointing to the edge of the forest, its vines already wrapped around the corner of its clothes and pulling it in the direction it was pointing.

"If that's the case, then we're in trouble."

Ten minutes later, a person and a Pokémon were found lying in the grass near the outer edge of Viridian Forest. This was because when Xiaota wanted to trade items with wild Pokémon, he received a message that two people were capturing wild Pokémon in the vicinity, and the number of them captured had reached as many as forty.

"Xiao Ta, wait a minute, they're a bit strong. Don't be impulsive. We need to use deception and a sneak attack. We can't afford to act rashly right now." Xuan Mingtian said in a low voice that only the two of them could hear.

After all, the other side had two people and four elves with them. If they weren't careful, they would be doomed if things went wrong. Moreover, they were clearly elf hunters just by looking at their attire. If they didn't have a tropical dragon protecting them, they might end up in the home of some strange and wealthy person a week or two later.

"Xiao Ta, wait a moment, use Root first, then secretly use Three Powders in One on them."

Hunter B: "A-Jia, can you smell something delicious?"

Hunter A: "Oh no, Pidgey is using Wind Rush."

It wasn't too late, but it wasn't too fast either. After all, by the time they realized what was happening, they had already inhaled a small portion of the three powders. Although their power wasn't as great as a single powder, the combined release of the three was definitely enough to overwhelm Lao Liu.

"Xiao Ta, use the seed machine gun on them, don't concentrate, spray and strafe, wait another 3-5 minutes and Po Tian will be here." At this moment, Xuan Mingtian, wearing a hood and holding a wooden stick, directed Xiao Ta.

The little tower kept spraying seeds, and although the damage was less than that of a concentrated attack due to the spraying, it was still harmful and particularly insulting.

Although Hunter A and his team were caught off guard, they also realized their own...

"Alright, brat, so it was you who attacked us. I think you're tired of living. Zubat and Pidgeotto, use Air Slash! Graveler, use Rock Slide! Koffing, use Sludge!" The two hunters, realizing what was happening, also had their Pokémon attack.

"Damn it, do they have to be so aggressive? Little Tower, use your maximum power energy ball against their attacks." Xuan Mingtian was already cursing at this point.

The four attacks collided with the energy ball, creating a huge explosion that immediately filled the air with smoke. At that moment, two vines suddenly shot out from Xuan Mingtian's direction, pulling the bag of Pokémon the hunter brothers had captured back. By the time the hunter brothers realized what was happening, the bag of Pokémon had already disappeared into the mist.

"Damn it, Pidgey, use Wind Rush!"

After the smoke cleared, the hunter brothers discovered that Xuan Mingtian had retreated nearly 20 meters.

"Go eat shit, you trash. If you've got the guts, come and chase me." While teasing the hunter brothers, Xuan Mingtian didn't forget to give them an internationally unfriendly gesture.

After teasing them, Little Tower had already wrapped its arms around its neck with the leaf and stood on their shoulders. Then, it picked up the bag of Poké Balls and ran wildly toward the location of Potian and the others.

"Damn it, damn it, hurry up and chase after him! Don't let us catch you, or we'll definitely sell you to some rich people with special fetishes!" The hunter brothers said as they led the elf in pursuit of Xuan Mingtian.

After chasing for two minutes, the hunter brothers were overjoyed to find that Xuan Mingtian had stopped running.

"Kid, tired from running? Let me tell you, you're done for. Even a dream can't hold you back, I'm telling you," Hunter A said fiercely.

"Potian, let me see your results now." As soon as he finished speaking, a black light flashed in front of Xuan Mingtian.

At this moment, the hunter brothers also saw the strange flying mantis: "Brother, catch this flying mantis, its unusual color will definitely fetch a good price."

"Pidgeotto, use Air Slash! Zubat, use Poison Sting! Koffing, use Sludge! Graveler, use Rock Slide!" The hunter brothers issued commands one after another, and four attacks shot towards the sky.

"Obstruct them, then use a lightning flash to rush in and take out the gas bombs first." Xuan Mingtian gave the order as he ran out of the combat zone.

After dodging the attack, Potian unleashed a flash of lightning, instantly neutralizing the gas bomb and leaving a deep slash mark on it.

"Brother, what's going on? Am I seeing things? How did the gas bomb get taken care of so easily?"

Hunter A's eyes narrowed at this moment: "I don't believe that three of you can't beat one of them."

Unfortunately, they were all taking things for granted. The battle only lasted two minutes before it ended, and their Pokémon would be unable to fight again without resting for half a month.

At this moment, the hunter brothers knelt down and pleaded with Xuan Mingtian, "Boss, please let us go, okay? We won't do it again."

"You want a next time? Bah! If it weren't for my powerful spirit, you would have captured me long ago. You shouldn't have even mentioned selling me to those perverted rich people. Let me tell you, you're finished. Get ready to go to jail and pick up the soap! Don't even think about escaping, or I'll break your legs!" Xuan Mingtian glared at them angrily.

"Potian, destroy all these Poké Balls. Xiaota, tie them up tightly and take them back to camp." Xuanmingtian had already released the kidnapped Pokémon, and of course, he also had Xiaota give the hunter brothers' Pokémon a Grassy Terrain, otherwise they might get killed on the way to the "soap shop," and the reward would be reduced. (It's a bounty from the police station for the Pokémon hunters, which includes their Pokémon.)

Back at the camp, Xuan Mingtian asked Dehua to pack everything up, because he was out of Pokémon food and energy cubes and needed to go to Evergreen City to buy more. He also had to take the Hunter Brothers to pick up soap.

Xuan Mingtian walked into the tent and said to the little cutie, "If you really want to live with us, you'd better change your look, otherwise we'll all be in big trouble."

"Okay, okay, I know, you're so nagging." At this moment, Dreamy, though superficially aware of Xuan Mingtian's presence, obediently changed form. (Transforming into Wind Chime)

Twenty minutes later, the campsite was dismantled and put back in the backpacks. The Tropius and Skybreaker were also put away. Luckily, I had blindfolded the hunter brothers, otherwise, I'm afraid they would have been terrified if they had seen the size of the Tropius. (Some people might ask why the household waste wasn't disposed of. I can only say that Flamethrower is a great skill, essential for home life and travel, and a great way to destroy evidence.)

"Let's go, let's head to Changqing City."
