Pokémon Farm

Chapter 6 Entering the Outskirts of Viridian Forest

Viridian City is a city surrounded by forests, and it was the first town after the original town. It has a spring-like climate all year round and is also the core area of ​​Team Rocket.

The next morning, Xuan Mingtian arrived at Indigo Academy and couldn't help but exclaim, "This is truly a wonderful place!" The campus environment was beautiful, the architecture exquisite, featuring white walls and blue tiles, with green trees and grass planted around the buildings. The campus was surrounded by mountains and forests, allowing direct access to the woods from the campus. Moreover, the students came from all over the Pokémon world, and each student received a free starter Pokémon from their respective region upon enrollment. However, don't assume that the free starter Pokémon would attract many applicants; the tuition fees and eligibility requirements alone deterred many.

Upon arriving at the principal's office, Xuan Mingtian stated his purpose directly: "Hello, Principal. I am a new student from Random Town in the Sinnoh region. This is my admission notice. Also, this Alliance Card is something my family asked me to give you for investment in the academy's development and to improve the lives of the teachers."

Upon hearing this, the principal's eyes lit up as he read Xuan Mingtian's admission notice: "Oh, so you're from the Miracle Family. Very good, thank you for your support of the academy."

“Headmaster, I would like to have a separate courtyard as my accommodation. Also, this bag of Miracle Seeds is to thank you for taking care of me over the next few years.” As she spoke, she took out the Miracle Seeds from her backpack and placed them on the headmaster’s desk.

“No problem, Xuan. I’ll arrange a private courtyard for you.” The principal said as he put the Seed of Miracles on the table into his drawer.

After arranging everything, Xuan Mingtian bid farewell to the principal and suggested going to the outskirts of the Everlasting Forest to experience the charm of nature.

Just as the principal asked if teachers needed to accompany him, Xuan Mingtian released a tropical dragon that was 4.9 meters tall. Xuan Mingtian's lips trembled and he thought to himself, "Damn, this family is indeed worthy of its name. Not only are they generous, but even the guardian spirits of their family are so powerful. If I flatter them a bit, I won't have to lower myself to ask other families for funding in the future."

The principal smiled and looked at Xuan Mingtian, saying, "Okay, do as you please. Just be on time when school starts."

"Okay, I'll be back on time then." After saying that, he put away his tropical dragon and headed towards Viridian Forest.

"Dehua and Xiaota, keep watch on the surroundings." Xuan Mingtian called out to Dehua and Xiaota, then cautiously looked ahead. Although he had a tropical dragon to protect him, he couldn't rely on it every time, and there might be powerful Pokémon on the outskirts of the forest. Some wandering Pokémon would run from the center of the forest to the outer perimeter.

As they walked, they suddenly heard a rustling sound ahead. Xuan Mingtian immediately led Dehua Xiaota to crawl slowly through the waist-high weeds. It turned out that the Fierce Sparrows and the Bobo were having a tug-of-war (fighting for territory), and the two sides, who had already set up their battle formation, were completely unaware that six eyes were watching from the bushes nearby (watching the show).

At the leader's command, a chaotic battle erupted, with both sides relentlessly pecking at each other's feathers. Xuan Mingtian, who was watching the spectacle, recalled that this was just like the chickens in his own family in his previous life, chickens pecking at each other like idiots.

Pfft, Xuan Mingtian couldn't help but laugh, and the entire battlefield fell silent. Dehua and Xiaota covered their eyes, indicating that they couldn't bear to watch anymore. After all, if you're going to eat melons, you should eat them properly.

"Hello, I was just passing by."

The Spearow flock and the Popo flock were skeptical and displeased, and immediately went into battle.

"Dehua and Xiaota, you two go and talk to them."

Seeing that Dehua and Xiaota hadn't withdrawn from combat after exchanging words with the opposing team, it seemed like a real fight was about to begin.

"Dehua, solve them with singing. Xiaota, you give me a dose of hypnotic powder."

As the song began, a mist of hypnotic powder drifted onto the battlefield. In less than five seconds, the entire battlefield fell silent, and everyone collapsed.

"Hey, see? They won't listen to communication, and they can't beat you in a fight. What's the point? Little Tadeusz, give them a Grassy Terrain and a Healing Wave."

After settling everything, Xuan Mingtian led the elf deeper into the forest, but the deeper they went, the denser the trees became, and the scratches on the trees became even more clearly visible.

Suddenly a cold light flashed, and Xuan Mingtian rolled forward, but he seemed to have rolled too early. Before the attack could arrive, it was blocked by Dehua and Xiaota.

Xuan Mingtian looked at himself covered in mud and said fiercely to the attacking elf, "You bastard, you shameless, you ambushed me, you have no martial ethics."

It turned out to be a Flashing Scyther, no wonder it was so fast. Xuan Mingtian judged from the scratches on the trees that this was its territory.

At this moment, Scyther looked at the three with a wary expression, because it knew that these two Pokémon were very strong.

"I want to capture you. Come and have a Pokémon duel with me." Xuan Mingtian had already scanned the Scyther with his panel. It had a green aptitude and the dual abilities of Master Technician and Unyielding Spirit.

"If you don't say anything, I'll take that as a yes." He noticed the Scyther was still staring at him warily.

"Dehua, you go and take care of it. You have five minutes. If you exceed the time limit, your life essence for today will be canceled."

Upon hearing that the Life Essence would be canceled for the day due to exceeding the time limit, Dehua roared and charged towards Scyther. Scyther was completely bewildered; what was going on? Why did it suddenly become so motivated at the mere mention of Life Essence?

Less than two minutes into the battle, Dehua brought the bruised and battered Scyther to Xuan Mingtian's side.

At this moment, Xuan Mingtian, looking smug, said, "See? A sneak attack is not advisable. One-on-one duels are all about martial ethics."

He took a Luxury Ball from his belt and approached Scyther: "If you want to get stronger with me, press this button. If not, I'll heal you and then you can leave."

After a moment's thought, Scyther resolutely pressed the tip of its blade onto the button, and a red light shone on it. Less than three seconds later, the Luxury Ball dinged, and Scyther was successfully captured.

"Hey, I caught Scyther!" Xuan Mingtian shouted as he made a hand gesture.

Just as the Scyther was released, Dehua jumped up and instantly flicked Xuan Mingtian on the head.

"Ouch, why did you hit me?" He said, his voice trailing off as he saw the look of disbelief on Dehua and Xiaota's faces and instantly recalled his childish behavior.

He slapped himself twice and muttered to himself, "Damn it, Ash just possessed me, and my own Pokémon saw it."

Scyther looked at Xuan Mingtian with a bewildered expression. After exchanging ideas with Dehua Xiaota, he learned that his master would sometimes do things that even humans and Pokémon couldn't understand.

After some treatment, Scyther finally understood why Dehua's previously listless eyes could suddenly be filled with power. Only after trying it could one truly understand the "it's so good" phenomenon. It had to be good, after all, it was a Bug-type Pokémon, known for its short lifespan. Without breaking its own limits (advancing), its species' lifespan was at most a dozen years. So at this moment, the stubborn Scyther completely transformed into a lazy Scyther.

After walking several hundred meters through the forest, Xuan Mingtian discovered a lake and decided to spend the night by it, as it was already getting dark.

After setting up the camp, Xuan Mingtian noticed many fearless Pokémon surrounding him while making dinner. When Scyther tried to shoo them away, I stopped them. After all, they were just after a bite to eat, and there was no need to beat them up for that.

Suddenly, an idea struck me: I could use Energy Cubes to trade items with them! After coming up with the idea, I immediately called Dehua and Xiaota over. (There was a reason I didn't call Scyther; I was afraid that this battle maniac might start a fight with other Pokémon at the slightest provocation.)

"Dehua and Xiaota, I have a task for you two: take these elf foods and energy cubes and trade with them. You can trade them anything good they have, even Paras' mushrooms. The mushroom soup we used to drink at home had some grown by Paras. Also, don't cheat them, understand?"

Seeing Dehua and Xiaota nod and leave, Xuan Mingtian's face showed a fatherly smile.

Just as we were preparing for dinner, the two of them returned after completing their task. There was a lot of stuff, and it was quite messy. Fortunately, the two kids were quite sensible and sorted and wrapped everything up.

After finishing their meal, the three of them, one person and three elves, lay on the grass by the lake, watching the stars.

After some thought, he said to Scyther, "Scyther, let me change your name to Break Sky, like the Break Sky of Shi Potian."

At this moment, Po Tian was filled with doubt.

"Don't look at me like that. Let me tell you a story. A long, long time ago, there was a Scyther-like Pokémon, just like you. It met a Pokémon named Helmeppo, and learned a sword technique from Helmeppo called the Golden Crow Sword Technique. After learning this technique, it began to travel the Pokémon world. At that time, it was invincible until it encountered an opponent it couldn't defeat. After experiencing defeat, it didn't get discouraged. Instead, it found a place called Hero Island to train. Finally, after it finished training, it defeated its previous opponent in one move. Later, all the Pokémon at that time called it the Sword Master. Do you understand this principle?"

At this moment, Po Tian nodded at him with a look of fighting spirit, his twin swords rubbing together incessantly, awaiting his command.

"Alright, alright, rest for tonight, I'll teach you swordsmanship tomorrow." After saying that, he ran into the tent without looking back.

"Damn, he's been brainwashed. This isn't just a battle-crazed elf anymore, he's heading towards becoming a battle maniac. Whatever, let's just make it as believable as possible."

After leaving the tent, I released the tropical dragon to guard the surroundings. After all, if you sleep in the wild without a spirit to protect you, you might find yourself in a cave or a tree the next day, so it's essential to take good safety precautions.

"Oh right, I forgot to call my family. Oh no, I'm going to get a scolding again."

He then dialed his mother's number: "Hello, Mom, I've already registered at Quartz Academy, and I've started implementing my plan. Okay, I'll be careful."

"Hey, Grandma Mustard, I've already registered at Quartz Academy. Don't worry about me. I just finished eating and called you. Okay, okay, I'll study hard. Bye."

Xuan Mingtian let out a long sigh of relief. Things were finally settled, and now it was time for him to relax.
