Pokémon: Starting as a Farmer Instead of a Trainer

Chapter 145 Ponpo Wants to Have Halloween

After Mingyou returned home, it was noon on the third day, not too far off from the expected time. Heyue Bear and the others had traveled through mountains and rivers and successfully arrived at Beishang Township, where they were all attracted by the environment.

"Leo..."

Riolu walked into the manor and looked at the Pokémon living in the trees in the orchard, all of them living leisurely and peacefully. He couldn't help but feel captivated by the scene.

Its waveguide can sense that the Pokémon living here are not at all impatient, and everyone is living happily.

"From now on, everyone will live here. Although the manor seems a bit small now, it won't be long before I buy all the surrounding land!"

While talking about her ideals, Mingyou led everyone to familiarize themselves with the manor's environment. Yueyue Bear was also in the group. When she saw the Strange Horned Deer, she couldn't help but stop and stand there, feeling a sense of familiarity, as if she had known it before.

After a long time, he finally finished introducing everyone, and also spent a day introducing the Pokémon that originally lived in the manor.

"Let's all get along well from now on and avoid any conflicts. If you have any problems, you can come to me anytime. I'm usually at home."

Seeing them begin to interact and get to know each other, Mingyou nodded in satisfaction. He then gathered a few helpers to prepare for the banquet, since he really couldn't handle it all by himself.

After they went to the villa, the new Pokémon began to look for their own place to live. Most of the Pokémon that Arcanine brought with them, such as the Talking Bebop, had been born in the city and were not familiar with life in the wild. They only dared to stay with Arcanine.

"..."

Arcanine was a little troubled by this. It wanted to ask the wild Pokémon here for help so that the children could enjoy their lives here, but it didn't know how to ask.

But then it came to its senses and saw several honey-wrapping worms and apple-wrapping dragons appear out of nowhere. They brought some new fruit-eating worms and greeted the big-toothed raccoon and the others very enthusiastically, wanting to take everyone to play in the orchard.

Although they were initially wary and scared, the big-toothed raccoons were quickly persuaded and followed the honeybugs as they ran around in the orchard.

They all wore smiles, as if they had finally found relief and freedom, no longer living in constant fear like they did in the city.

Seeing this, Arcanine smiled with relief and gently lay down on the ground. It no longer needed to worry about this place. This environment... was exactly what it had always longed to show everyone.

Heyue Bear, along with Quanquan Bear and their cubs, arrived at the place where honey apples were grown. Although there were no sweet apples to eat here, the honey apples had the same effect and were even more delicious.

Moon Bear didn't follow. Instead, it stared at the Deer with wide eyes. They both seemed very familiar, but Moon Bear couldn't recognize the other, while Deer, although it had a general idea of ​​who it was, didn't know how to talk to it.

This time, Smocha didn't leave to return to Emerald Town. Instead, it planned to enjoy the banquet and then stay there. It had already witnessed Mingyou successfully develop this place...

And so, time passed until evening...

The entire manor was brightly lit and bustling with activity. In the gleaming villa living room, a lavish and grand banquet was about to begin.

Under the dazzling chandelier, a variety of delicious dishes were displayed on the carefully arranged table, their vibrant colors dazzling the eye.

Fruit platters filled with fruit were also placed outside, and colorful lights were hung on the fruit trees by the door, constantly changing and flashing in the lively atmosphere.

Mingyou and Pengpeng stood at the door, watching everyone's happy scene, and were very satisfied.

The afternoon spent was worthwhile; hopefully, these Pokémon can get to know each other and become friends at this banquet.

"By the way, I don't know if she's asleep or not, I definitely need to take a picture and send it to her..."

Mingyou suddenly remembered Xiaozhao, so she took a picture of the place and sent it to the other party.

I thought it would be a while before they replied again, but they sent a message very quickly: "Wait, start a video call, I want to see."

"no problem."

The video call started, and looking at the heartwarming scene of wild Pokémon walking around and getting along harmoniously in the living room, Xiao Zhao's face was full of envy.

"It's so lively! I really want to go too... By the way, did the manor have this many Pokémon?"

"because……"

Mingyou explained the situation, and Xiaozhao covered her mouth, very surprised: "Are you planning to build an ecological park in the manor? Come to think of it, you and Dr. Kukui seemed to have talked about this before."

"That's right, but we don't have much of a clue yet, and we don't know what to do. I plan to go and ask Dr. Vero for advice once things have settled down here, and have him teach me how to do it."

"Keep it up! Don't hesitate to ask me for help if you need anything!"

"No problem, but what are you doing over there? It sounds so noisy. It must be almost midnight where you are, right?"

While chatting, Mingyou suddenly noticed this, and at that moment a sweet female voice suddenly came from the screen: "Teacher Xiaozhao, why are you squatting in the corner chatting? Let's all pick pumpkins together, I want to use this pumpkin to make a very cute pumpkin head."

"Wait a moment, Ziyu..."

"Is she chatting with her boyfriend? No wonder she's trying to hide from us!"

No, that's not it!

"..."

Watching the farce unfolding on the screen, Mingyou hesitated, feeling it was best not to disturb them.

After a long while, Xiao Zhao said with a helpless expression, "I was picking pumpkins with the students in the school's greenhouse. I had already finished get off work."

"Why are you picking pumpkins? To eat them?"

"Isn't Halloween just a week away? We've already started preparing here. Halloween and Christmas are both very lively holidays in the Unova region, and Blueberry Academy is no exception."

"Oh, I see..."

Mingyou nodded slightly, realizing that it was already this time. After all, the Padiya region also celebrates these festivals, but it seems that Beishang Township does not celebrate Halloween. The cultural customs of different places are different.

"Mmm~"

What is Halloween?

Ponpo, standing to the side, looked on with curiosity.

"Forehead……"

Faced with the question, Mingyou was speechless for a moment. She couldn't very well say that on Halloween night, children would dress up as ghosts and go trick-or-treating, could she?

Although he used to play this kind of game with the children in the orphanage in his past life, it's not good for Ponpo to play this kind of game, since "pretending to be a ghost" is a bit too sensitive.

But I can't not answer...

Seeing Ponpon's expectant expression, he coughed lightly and said with a smile, "It's a festival where everyone eats pumpkin together. You should know what a pumpkin is, right? It's a very delicious vegetable."

"Hmm..."

Ponpon doesn't know...

"It's okay, it's good that you know now!"

On the screen, Xiao Zhao suddenly spoke up. She had heard the conversation just now, but did not correct what Mingyou had said. She continued talking.

"Ponpon, have a good Halloween with everyone. If Mingyou makes any delicious pumpkin dishes, remember to tell me when I get back~"

"Mmm~"

"That's settled then, those students over there are causing trouble again..."

"Okay, go ahead and get busy."

After hanging up the phone, Mingyou stroked her chin. How come it's Halloween again? There are no pumpkins at home. Do I have to buy some online?

Hmm... it shouldn't be that there aren't any pumpkins. When he came back last time, he planted all the pumpkin bear seeds and asked the horned deer to take care of them.

It's only been a little over half a month, so the pumpkin bear couldn't possibly have grown that fast... Of course, it's best to use your own for this kind of thing.

"Wait a minute, isn't a squash also a type of pumpkin?"

Mingyou suddenly remembered this: the squash is made from pumpkin seeds, and it's almost ripe, so let's use this instead!
