Pokémon: Starting as a Farmer Instead of a Trainer

Chapter 107 The Stolen Stone Tablet and the Strange Sphere

Hearing the roar, Sally immediately covered her head and squatted down. The Growlithe beside her became alert, and Zhulan quickly grabbed Mingyou's shoulder, signaling her to squat down as well.

From the woods behind the cubs, a large brown bear with thick fur and a yellow ring on its belly emerged, looking very angry.

[Urbear: A hibernating Pokémon with a grumpy temperament. It only shows its gentle side when it's with its own children. It will show no mercy to anyone who bullies its children. If you can manage your relationship with its children well, it's easy to gain its favor.]

After appearing, the circly bear stayed by its cub's side, searching for the enemy that had made the noise; it seemed very sensitive to this.

Cynthia gestured for everyone to stay put and wait for the other Pokémon to leave. In the wild, it's best to choose to battle wild Pokémon in self-defense...

But after waiting for a while, the Circle Bear not only did not leave, but also sat down next to its child and took out a piece of Crystal Honey to taste.

These are all produced by the nearby Three Bees. The honey is juicy and doesn't leave any residue. It's really good!

"Let's take a detour..."

As she spoke, Zhu Lan took out a map from her backpack and glanced at it, her expression somewhat puzzled: "Strange, this place is quite a distance from the bear's arena, why did the Circle Bears come out?"

"Looking for food, huh?"

Mingyou guessed.

"uncertain……"

Zhu Lan shook her head and continued, "At least a year ago, Circle Bear would only stay in the bear arena, seemingly guarding something there. It was impossible for it to leave, so I felt there was some secret there."

What she said was recorded in Team Galactic's data. Team Galactic investigated for nearly a month. Although there weren't many Ursarings, they couldn't drive them away at all, and they would be attacked if they got close.

The area surrounding the bear's arena belongs to the Super Armored Rhinoceros, because this forest covers a mountain, while only the area of ​​the bear's arena is flat land, surrounded by mountains.

If the Circle Bear wants to get here from the Bear Arena, it must climb over mountains and cross the territory of the Super Armored Rhinoceros, or swim across a turbulent river.

Therefore, it's possible that something happened at the bear fighting arena, causing the circled bear to leave its home and travel over mountains and valleys with its cubs to come here...

While they were talking quietly, Sally had already raised her camera, captured the moment, and pressed the shutter.

"Done!"

She took out the photos from the camera, looked at them, and then noticed some problems. She quickly tiptoed over to Zhu Lan and handed her the photos.

Look at this!

"Um?"

Zhu Lan and Ming You looked at the same time and could see a faint wound on the side of the Circle Bear's abdomen. Even the fur was singed. Upon closer inspection, it seemed that the wound was infected...

"As expected, this wound was caused by an attack from some Pokémon, but we don't know what it is yet. Let's go and treat it first."

"I'll go."

As he spoke, Mingyou stood up and revealed his position. Since Quanquan Bear was Heyue Bear's companion, he naturally couldn't just sit idly by!

"Awooo!"

Upon seeing the sudden appearance of humans, the Circular Bear stood up, raised its paws, and roared angrily.

Cynthia had a headache, but she had no choice but to get up and prepare Garchomp for battle. Things had progressed to this point, and a battle was unavoidable.

But Mingyou showed no fear. She simply took out some dried peaches and disinfectant from her backpack, walked towards Quanquan Bear, and told Zhulan and the others not to worry, that she had a solution...

"Awooo!"

The circly bear continued to roar, but did not launch an attack, because the cubs were trembling and clinging to its legs; protecting its children was its priority.

"It's okay, relax. I'm here to help you..."

Mingyou spoke softly, without anyone by his side. He bent down, trying to make the other person lower their guard, but this method did not seem to work.

Just as he got a short distance away, the Circular Bear suddenly raised his fist, about to unleash a hammer blow, but instead targeted the cub, and then took out a honey-glazed apple and rolled it over the ground.

"Chirp?"

Seeing the apple on the ground, the bear cub smelled the sweetness of honey, and immediately reached out happily to pick it up and take a bite.

"Chirp~"

"Awooo?"

Seeing how happy the cub was, the circly bear's movements gradually slowed down. Mingyou seized the opportunity and continued softly, "Can you calm down now? I just wanted to help you treat your injuries, not scratch you. Your stomach must hurt a lot, right? If something happens to you while you're doing this, there will be no one to take care of the cub..."

Mingyou knew very well that he needed to start with the child to deal with such a protective mother, and he was best at dealing with all kinds of children.

Sure enough, after he said a few words of persuasion, Quan Quan Xiong did relax his guard a bit, perhaps because he didn't sense any malice from Ming You...

Seeing him successfully approach the circle bear and help it heal, Shali was greatly surprised, while Zhulan's lips curled up slightly, her eyes revealing appreciation.

After eating the dried peach, the pain in Quan Quan Xiong's abdomen was greatly relieved. Then, Ming You began to help treat the wound and found that the infection was indeed quite serious and had been going on for a long time.

"This is troublesome... burns, but would a typical burn look like this?"

Examining the wound, Mingyou shook her head. She could only help treat it first. Fortunately, the Ursaring had the Guts ability; otherwise, it would have collapsed long ago if the wound had become infected.

After spending some time treating the wound and finally bandaging it, he breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and stood up, saying, "From now on, avoid strenuous activity. If the wound reopens and gets infected again, you'll have to go to the ICU."

"Awooo~"

The Circle Bear sat on the ground, very obediently. At this moment, blue particles floated out from its body and finally condensed into a card, which landed in Mingyou's hand.

[Circle Bear (lv1): After using on a Pumpkin Seed, the seed type changes to Pumpkin Bear Seed, and there is a chance to learn the following moves (Metal Claw, Fake Cry, Cuteness, Belly Drum, Double Payback, Yawn, Crunch)]

"It's different from the one Heyue Bear gave me. But why is it a pumpkin bear instead of a bear pumpkin?"

Mingyou shook her head, ignoring these criticisms. After all, the strange names of these mutant crops had been around for a while now…

Seeing that the matter seemed to be resolved, Zhu Lan and Sha Li walked over, and Peng Peng immediately ran to Ming You's side, waving and interacting with the cute bear cub.

"Well done!"

Zhu Lan spoke with an appreciative tone, making Mingyou quite embarrassed. She scratched her head and replied, "Because my grandfather was a ranger, rescuing wild Pokémon was his job, and I took over his farm, so it's only natural for me to do this kind of thing."

"A legacy, huh... I see!"

Zhu Lan nodded slightly, then looked at Quan Quan Xiong and said softly, "Excuse me for a moment, could you tell me how you got injured?"

She didn't directly ask why the other person was there, nor did she mention the bear's arena, to avoid being misunderstood as someone with ill intentions.

"Awooo..."

The Ursaring had its round ears drooping and looked very dejected, because many days ago, humans had attacked their territory with very powerful Pokémon and violently drove them all away.

"What?!"

As a scholar, Cynthia naturally understood the language of Pokémon. Upon hearing these words, she was shocked, and a hint of anger appeared on her face.

They actually attacked the territory of wild Pokémon! Could it be a Pokémon hunter? But it seems they only injured and drove them away, so what exactly happened?

She continued to ask questions, trying to find out.

Then, Quan Quan Xiong continued to describe the general appearance of those people. Zhu Lan's expression gradually became serious, and she murmured, "Team Galactic... remnants!"

"What?"

Shali asked curiously, and Zhulan then told her what Quan Quan Xiong had told her.

About two weeks ago, one night, remnants of Team Galactic arrived at the Bear's arena by plane with their equipment. Taking advantage of the time when the bear cubs were resting, they launched an attack.

To protect their cubs, the circle bears had no choice but to flee. Moreover, the entire bear fighting arena had been destroyed, leaving nothing behind. The circle bears had lost their home.

"this……"

Sally couldn't believe it. Had the Galactic Team gone mad? No... these people were already pretty crazy, even wanting to destroy this world to create a new one.

Mingyou remained silent, his fists clenched tightly. Latias had relayed the information to him when Quan Quan Xiong was saying those things.

He suppressed his anger and looked at the circle bear, asking about the condition of its other companions... Fortunately, he received a reply that everyone seemed to have escaped, which made him breathe a sigh of relief.

But Cynthia couldn't stand the remnants continuing to cause trouble, so she stopped worrying and asked directly what Team Galactic's purpose was in attacking Kuma's arena.

"Awooo..."

"You stole a stone slab that you were guarding, and a... green Poké Ball?"

"Um?"

Compared to Cynthia's confusion, Mingyou's expression was one of great surprise. A green Poké Ball... Could it be another Rare Ball?
