The next morning.
Inside the plantation.
"The water is flowing too fast, please slow down, please don't wash away my land!"
"Water Gun is your most basic attack skill in the early stages. If you can't even master this, how can you fight?"
Alex and Snivy were sitting under the shade of the Pecha Berry tree. Alex was coaching Squirtle while Snivy stretched out Vine Whip, tapping near Squirtle's feet.
To avoid the Vine Whip, Squirtle had to keep changing the location of Water Spout, with a face full of resentment.
Early in the morning, it told its Trainer that it had found a good Teacher for itself.
The kind that is quasi-religious and quasi-congregational.
With a curious mind,
Squirtle agreed to the request.
When it saw that it was the human from yesterday, it was quite happy.
But now...
Its resentment towards Alex reached its peak.
How can this be allowed for me to practice with the Water Gun?
Isn't this just asking me to help him fill the water?
There is no water.
Really, not a drop left...
Squirtle's cheeks had some sunken marks after just irrigating a field.
"Okay, come and take a break."
Alex, who had been using the [Eye of Detection] to check Squirtle's Contest Condition, let it come over to rest for a while.
Snivy's whip also stopped.
Squirtle came over full of resentment.
[Pokémon: Squirtle]
[Gender: Female]
[Ability: Torrent]
[Qualification: Blue]
[Individual stats: HP (18) Attack (20) Special Attack (21) Defense (25) Special Defense (24) Speed (16)]
[Strength: Level 6~8]
[Skills: Tackle, Tail Whip, Water Gun, Withdraw]
[Introduction: It doesn't want to work anymore!]
[Intimacy: -20 (It thinks you are worse than its Trainer.)]
[Pleasure value: -25 (An early riser full of resentment.)]
"Here, eat the energy cube."
Alex took out the energy block he made to restore physical strength.
This is made from the fruit he bought yesterday.
[C-level energy cube - an energy cube made from Sitrus Berry and clear mountain spring water. After taking it, it can restore physical strength in a very short time. Long-term use can also increase the physical strength of Pokémon.]
Cooking Effect: After taking it, it will enhance Pokémon's ability to comprehend moves.
A very brief introduction.
However, energy blocks that can permanently enhance a Pokémon's ability values if taken over a long period of time are extremely precious in this world.
Normally, you can't buy it even if you have money.
But Alex would not directly tell Squirtle the value of this energy block.
Instead, he chose to persuade her, "Come, have a piece."
"Squirtle..."
With a resentful cry, the hungry Squirtle took the energy cube and bit into it.
In an instant,
A clear and warm feeling burst out in its mouth, and Squirtle's eyes suddenly lit up. After wolfing it down, there was suddenly a gleam in its originally lifeless eyes.
"It's okay. There are plenty of energy cubes."
Facing the "employees" he recruited,
Alex naturally wouldn't be stingy.
Anyway, just give it as much as it can eat.
[Congratulations to the host for raising Squirtle's happiness value from -20% to 30%. Reward: 20 bags of Golden Kela, 3 Rare Candies, and 1 clear water flow (which can make the water flow of water Pokémon purer and make them more proficient in using water skills.)]
Finally...
Squirtle, unable to eat even a single piece, lay on the ground in an ungraceful manner, with a look of satisfaction on its face.
Alex did not choose to "squeeze" it immediately but watched quietly on the spot with a smile on his lips.
Such a familiar scene.
Let Snivy next to him wake up.
If he's correct,
It seems that it was also "captivated" by the energy block in this way?
Thinking of this,
Snivy couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
It roams around human towns.
Because it heard from other Pokémon that if there is a Trainer, it can grow up quickly, and it also provides food and shelter...
Therefore, it also wanted to select a Trainer to grow together.
But,
The arrogant Snivy is very strict with the Trainer.
In the past, it always thought that the Trainer it was looking for must be very capable, and must satisfy it both in terms of command and breeder.
But it didn't expect...
The other party only used a few energy blocks to "capture" it...
Snakes are unpredictable...
"Squirtle?"
It took Squirtle a while to come back to its senses from the full Contest Condition.
But at this moment, there was less resentment and a little more complexity in the look it gave Alex.
How did he manage to make Squirtle love and hate him at the same time?
"Alex, Alex, I'm here!"
At this moment, Squirtle's Trainer also came in from outside the plantation excitedly.
Beside her was the familiar Sandshrew.
Compared to Squirtle, Sandshrew's expression is more excited.
It was a look of long-awaited expectation.
"Please, Sandshrew~"
Look at such a good "employee" who likes to "work."
Alex naturally gave a satisfied smile, "There may be a lot of work to do today. It doesn't matter if you can't finish it. I'll make spicy noodles for you later."
"Got it!"
Sandshrew nodded seriously, and even without Alex's teaching, it went to the remaining land and started plowing.
He stood there and started making plans.
He plans to use half of the remaining land to grow pasture grass and make it look like grassland.
But he feels that this grassland is too small.
It would be fine if you just raised Miltank.
If you want to breed in the future, you will have to raise Tauros.
This Pokémon is full of energy.
Such a small place is definitely not enough for it to be built.
Then, Alex also planned to plant a few birch trees and raise some Catterpies.
Well, you can collect the silk threads they spit out and sell them...
That's what his parents did before.
The silk threads sold are very valuable and many people like them.
After all,
In the Pokémon world,
If you don't wear clothes, please wear them better.
When you are in the wild, you can easily be caught by the remaining Pidgey in the Pokémon battle, thus exposing your light...
Men are fine...
Female...
And,
Depending on the Leafage eaten, the clothes made of the silk thread Catterpie spits out have various effects.
For example, the silk threads spit out by Catterpie, which eats birch leaves, have a cooling effect...
"It's decided! Snivy, get to work..."
"Oh, and you, Lily, come here too..."
One carrot, one hole...
Fertilizing and sowing...
Snivy and Lily also boarded Alex's pirate ship and had to help him sow grass seeds...
