My Pokémon Story of Seasons

Chapter 279 Built in One Day

"Let's call it 'The Mysterious Potion Shop'!"

Tong Hua quickly finalized the store name, which is in line with Fairy Tale Ranch and Happy Dessert House.

As for the location, we simply opened a small storefront next to Happiness Dessert Shop.

With previous experience in building platforms and Pokémon houses, this shouldn't be too difficult for Tong Hua.

Having made up his mind, Tong Hua suddenly felt full of energy. He immediately turned around and strode towards the direction of Happiness Dessert Shop, intending to first conduct an on-site inspection of the condition of the vacant land next to it.

The pasture was quiet and full of life in the early morning. The early-rising milk tankers had already completed their daily milk production targets, and Tuotuo worms carried the iron cans full of fresh milk to the front of the dessert shop.

Saltstone and Saltstone Treasures lined up, waiting to be held and fall asleep by the four big milk pots who were taking a nap.

The wood tortoise leisurely patrolled the field ridge, the bushes on its back sweeping across the blueberry bushes with a rustling sound.

"Game".

Upon seeing Tong Hua, the forest turtle immediately came over to greet him.

"Good morning, forest turtle!" Tong Hua waved cheerfully. "How are the new seeds from yesterday? Did they grow?"

"Game!" The forest tortoise nodded steadily, its eyes filled with the same reliability as always.

He turned his head and gently pointed in the direction of the field. There, the seeds from Alora that had been planted yesterday had already sprouted tender green shoots, showing tenacious vitality in the soil of Almia.

"Great!" Tong Hua breathed a sigh of relief, patting the forest tortoise's sturdy shell. "As expected, leaving it in your care was no problem!"

After a brief exchange with the forest tortoise, Tong Hua continued towards the dessert shop. From afar, he could see messenger birds already preparing to open the shop at the entrance.

The messenger bird was wiping the glass window with its feet, while the five frost fairies were either sweeping the platform in front of the door with small brooms or bringing the fresh milk and eggs delivered by the worm into the kitchen.

"Chirp chirp!" "Eek!" Upon seeing Tong Hua, the Pokémon immediately greeted her happily.

Good morning!

Tong Hua responded with a smile, but her gaze fell on the open space adjacent to the dessert shop on the right.

The place was originally just overgrown with weeds and wasn't very big, but it should be enough to open a small shop.

He walked over, roughly estimated the area, and began to plan and design in his mind.

"I need to draw a design first, and then prepare the materials—" Tong Hua muttered to himself, wondering if he should go to Chicory Wood Hall to find Acorn Master to draw the design.

"But I should be able to do it myself—"

So, without further ado, Tong Hua took paper and pen and sat down at the open-air restaurant behind the dessert shop to write and draw.

It doesn't need to be a complicated structure; just a simple, square little house that can serve as a shop will suffice.

Even so, Tong Hua did not intend to do things half-heartedly.

After all, this entire fairytale ranch is the culmination of his hard work. Every facility carries memories of him and his Pokémon.

Although the Magical Potions Shop is small, it must still have a unique style and harmonize with the Happy Dessert Shop next door.

To complete this design, Tong Hua went into the kitchen and cooked two dishes for herself.

A surge of enthusiasm leads to a burst of inspiration.

With the two layers of enhancement, he bit the pen and gradually sketched out a rough idea in his mind.

The main body is made of light-colored wood, paired with a dark-colored roof shaped like a mushroom.

The windows should be arched and fitted with stained glass.

It would be best to place a crucible inside to create an atmosphere, and the display cases for the goods should be made of wood frames and glass.

A retro sign could be hung at the entrance, with Tibrim as the mascot —

He doodled on the paper, refining the details as he went.

Tong Hua, engrossed in his work, completely forgot about time. Several Pokémon passed by him in the ranch without him noticing.

Before he knew it, a detailed design sketch had been completed.

Tong Hua picked up the blueprints with satisfaction and examined them. Although they couldn't compare to professional architectural drawings, the overall framework and data were clearly presented.

"Next, it's time to prepare the materials and start construction!"

Tong Hua looked at the design drawing in her hand, which embodied her hard work, and her eyes sparkled with excitement.

He stood up, stretched his stiff neck, and realized that the sun was already high in the sky, the dessert shop was already open for business, and there was even a small queue at the door.

Messenger birds and Chinchillas are busy in the shop, while five Alcremie fairies and Sweetie Queen are making desserts in the kitchen.

Even the pickpocket cat, who usually prefers to sunbathe alone on the rooftop, scurried around helping out.

Tong Hua seems to have truly become a hands-off manager.

"Hmm, not bad, not bad."

Once the Magical Medicine Shop is up and running, let's just hand it over to the Pokémon to manage.

Putting aside others, Tibrim will definitely come to help!

Tong Hua happily fantasized, as if she could already see her teacher, Tibrim, who loved to "torture" her, dressed in a witch's uniform, standing behind the counter with an unwilling yet helpless expression—

"Okay, let's go collect the materials now!"

"Messenger bird, could you go to the charcoal stand in the village and buy me something?"

"La beep~" "Whoosh whoosh!"

After lunch, with the help of Celebi and the Big-tailed Tanuki family, Tong Hua arrived at Wind-Swept Forest.

The fastest way to obtain timber is naturally to go to fast-growing forests and cut it down yourself.

Sometimes when Rabbi is around, the felled logs can be quickly regenerated, and then the Big Tail Beaver family is responsible for transporting them back to the ranch for preliminary processing.

Tong Hua followed behind the Pokémon, enjoying the fresh air in the forest.

"Speaking of which, it's been quite a while since I've been to the forest."

I remember the last time I came, I happened to be there during a forest fire.

Tong Hua recalled the terrifying forest fire and the scene of working together with the Pokémon to put it out, and couldn't help but feel emotional.

"Fortunately, in the end, thanks to the power of the Celebi, time and space were reversed, and everything returned to the way it was before the fire."

Otherwise, I really don't know how to deal with such a severe disaster.

"La hua".

Hearing Tong Hua say this, Shirabi scratched his head shyly.

Because only she knew that the forest was saved not by her own power at all.

It is the power of the wooden gears of time, crafted by Tong Hua from the future as a woodcarver!

Since that fire, Celebi has put the wooden Gear of Time back into the treehouse in the Windswept Forest and had the giant vines guard it carefully.

Compared to himself, the negligent guardian, the Gear of Time was clearly more suitable to protect the peace of this forest.

Tong Hua didn't hear Rabbi's thoughts clearly; his attention was already drawn to a fast-growing forest in front of him that was growing well.

"This is it!"

Tong Hua rolled up his sleeves, took an axe from his toolbox, and said, "Celebi, Big-tailed Tanuki, let's begin!"

"Beep!"

For the rest of the afternoon, Tong Hua was cutting down trees to collect timber.

The chopped logs were processed on the spot by the raccoon dogs and lemurs, and then all of them were transported back to the ranch.

Tong Hua's gardener and woodcarver levels also rose accordingly, but none of these were as important as the wood itself.

"Thank you all for your hard work!"

Looking at the neatly stacked, processed timber on the open space next to the house, Tong Hua expressed her heartfelt gratitude.

As before, these pieces of wood need to be exposed to the sun for several days to dry thoroughly before further processing.

Again, with the help of the shrine's sunny weather, the process that would normally take several days to complete was accomplished in just one afternoon.

"Beep!"

Taking advantage of the momentum, the big-tailed raccoon directed the big-toothed raccoons to neatly stack the last batch of timber, and then patted the solid pile of timber with its tail to indicate that everything was ready.

-

"Then————"

Tong Hua's eyes lit up, and he couldn't wait to put the wood saw in his hand.

"Build the Fantasy Potions Shop today!"
