He knows Pokémon better than me.

Ash took off his bag and, as a gift, handed over a bunch of high-tech manufacturing blueprints that Dawn had bought in Celebration Village to Lucario.

This includes various ancient Poké Balls, special healing items, boosting potions, battle supplies, and more.

"Luca."

Lucario took the blueprints and examined them, then quickly sat down on the stone bench next to him and became completely absorbed in them.

As for videos on mastering torrents, let's not rush into that.

Without disturbing Lucario's thoughts, Ash looked at the other areas of the villa, where the tree that grew from a Dynamax Grass Seed was located in the middle to the back.

According to Yalo, the owner of the Grass Road Sports Arena, it takes six months to grow into a sapling and two years to grow into a slender trunk.

It takes at least five years for a tree to grow to the point where it is lush and provides shade from the heat.

However, thanks to Shemi's accelerated cultivation, it has now grown into a slender tree with a trunk about half the thickness of a person and two meters tall.

"Shaymi~!"

Shaymin in its arms hummed softly, confident that in two more months this giant grass seed would become its complete form!
"Then it's up to you, Shaymi!"

Ash stroked Shaymin's back, as if running his hand through smooth grass, making Shaymin squint his eyes in comfort.

In front of the Giant Grass Seed is the usual place for eating and drinking, and in front of that is the training ground.

Directly opposite the villa's main gate, it is the most open and spacious area.

The ground is reinforced with "Gigantamax Grass Seeds", and the surrounding walls are also embedded with Ghoststone, so they will not be shattered or damaged by moves. You can train here with complete peace of mind.

Of course, Pikachu would need to train outside the castle.

"Oh, you bought quite a lot of exercise equipment!"

Seeing some professional-looking equipment on the open space, Xiao Zhi's eyes lit up, and he went over to play with it for a while.

He had seen these things at the dojos of Shigeru and Shinji.

"Bari~!"

The Mr. Mime chuckled and emitted an AI voice:

"I bought all of these from the Motostoke Arena~ The gym leaders there are especially passionate about Pokémon battles, so they have a lot of professional training equipment~!"

The gym leader's strength was no less than that of the Elite Four from other regions; he was said to be one of the few trainers in the Galar region who could hold his own against Champion Leon.

Of course, it was only a matter of exchanging a couple of moves.

"How did you manage to buy things from other dojos? Uh, never mind."

As soon as he said it, Xiao Zhi realized and changed his mind.

The Galar region is highly commercialized in terms of Pokémon battles.

Even the champion's cape is covered with advertising logos, so it doesn't seem strange that the gym leader is selling his professional equipment.

"Bari bari~!"

The Mr. Mime nodded repeatedly; it had bought all of these from the official livestream of the Punch Gate Arena.

They deliver to your door the next day, and even include installation and a one-year warranty.

The owner of Quan Guan Arena is a fitness enthusiast, and you can often see him personally teaching aerobics in his live streams.

Xiao Zhi nodded, "We can try out these exercise machines later."

"Bea!"

Baby Dragon even jumped up and bit the handle of a strength training machine.

"Oh right, everyone, come out!"

Thinking of this, Ash quickly released all his Pokémon. Scorbunny, Melmetal, and the others scattered and ran around his house with familiarity.

Clang!
Onion Soldier kicked open the gate and, by muscle memory, went to patrol outside the castle.

His adventures in the Green World didn't add any new members to his Galar team. The only new addition was a Pokémon egg he'd been carrying all along.

Finally, Ash looked towards the area in the right corner of the castle, which was Shaymin's farmland.

Unlike other farms, it doesn't grow a lot of crops.

Shemi's farmland is divided into neat square grids, with each grid containing only one type of plant, including various flowers, shrubs, berries, or herbs.

There are pickpocket cats and cunning little foxes guarding both sides of the castle, so there's no need to worry about anyone climbing over the walls at night to steal vegetables.

"Looks like they're mostly ripe?"

Xiao Zhi scanned the area and found that almost all the squares were ready to be harvested.

It seems that Shemi has also lost interest in these plants, since they are all mixed seeds bought from general stores or obtained by chance in the wild, and the crops grown are all common crops in the Galar region.

For a level 3 Shemi to cultivate, this is a complete waste of talent.

"Shaymi~!"

Shaymin complained to Ash while nestled in his arms.

Lucario's handcrafted items can fetch high prices when placed in the outer receiving box!
And these crops, even after being planted by it, are all upgraded to five-star quality.

However, the crop itself is too basic, so it doesn't make much money.

So now, Shemi is even too lazy to harvest crops.

"Perfect, perfect!"

Xiao Zhi was overjoyed and immediately started taking things out of his bag—plants unique to the Xicui region should pique Shaymi's interest, right?
Under Shemi's curious gaze, several sword-dancing mushrooms, iron-walled wood ear mushrooms, and shadow mushrooms soon appeared on the ground.
There are even herbs like healing herbs, PP herbs, royal leaves, and tobacco taro used in making wound medicine and status-enhancing potions.
The roots are all encased in the soil, so it is still alive.

"Semy!"

Shemi's eyes lit up immediately; these were all plants it had never seen before!

Its cultivation efforts ignited instantly!

"Don't rush, this is the most important thing."

Ash took out another bag of Master Seeds and poured out a dozen or so for Shaymin to study.

"Shami, you need to figure out how to plant and harvest this thing."

Dr. Yamanashi is probably also working on this, but he's relying on modern technology.

On his side, he relied entirely on the power of legendary Pokémon!
"Shaymi?"

Shemi carefully sniffed the master seeds, then picked one up and examined it in his hand.

The sunflower seeds are black with colorful markings on the surface. But you can sense that the seeds inside are not dead and still have some vitality.

"Semy!"

Next, Shemi got to work quickly, first clearing away all the crops waiting to be harvested from the squares—

"Bear drink!" "Gah!"

The bear apprentices and the Steel Crows also came to help, and they were very efficient.

Then, the fresh plants such as iron-walled wood ear fungus and shadow mushroom were first planted in the grid-like farmland, and then we began to study these seeds carefully.
When she gets high, Shemi will even take out a small bottle containing Gracidia flower pollen, take a deep breath, and transform into a more agile sky form.

Xiaozhi: "."

The way Shemi looked made it seem like he was consuming something highly concentrated.

—This concludes Ash's overview of the latest situation inside the castle.

There are only a few functional areas, a simple and clear layout, and no other fancy or complicated features.

A smile spread across his face; he was very satisfied! (End of Chapter)
