Pokémon: Starting as a Farmer Instead of a Trainer

Chapter 207 Ponpo: "You huge pervert!!!" (Seeking monthly votes)

A week has passed since the Crowned Bear arrived at the manor. It has not shown any major emotional fluctuations and calmly follows the Circle Bears around the manor every day to dig holes, plant trees, and water them.

No one could figure out what was going on in its big head, yet it worked so obediently, because of what had happened before, they had a very bad impression of it.

Mingyou knew what it wanted to do: to gradually adapt to the environment, integrate, build good relationships with everyone, and then bring them into its studio one by one, making them its subordinates...

The idea is too simplistic, but it is indeed useful here. It won't be long before Ralts and the others follow it.

"And as expected of the King of Abundance..."

Mingyou looked at the apple tree that King Lei Guan had planted himself. In less than a day, it had adapted to the soil and sprouted new leaves.

This shows that even though the Crowned Queen has lost the power derived from faith, her abilities can still influence the surrounding plants and trees, allowing them to take root and sprout.

If this ability could be used to develop the manor, that would be quite good, but he would not force the other party to help, and the Queen of the Rachelnes does not completely trust him at the moment.

There's a saying that goes something like this: the simplest way to make someone believe in you is to help them realize their dream... their dream of making games!

"But I know absolutely nothing about programming or modeling... I can't do anything except invest."

Mingyou couldn't really offer much help in this matter; she could only wait and see what the other party was going to do...

Another day passed, and there was no need to plant any more trees today. They couldn't manage any more, so the Calyx King suddenly had some free time and wandered around the manor. Besides, it was paid for catching fish, which it liked.

However, instead of going to video game stores to preach and trick people into playing games with him, he wanted to find the source of the abnormal environment in the manor.

It didn't care about these variant crops; the only thing it cared about was why, even though winter wasn't over, the plants on the estate were as lush and vibrant as in spring... It could clearly sense that a special energy was influencing this place.

If we can obtain it... perhaps we can use it to restore some of its power. You can't just fool people with words; without demonstrating your own strength, it's hard for others to believe you!

"Where is it...?"

The Crowned King kept touching the surrounding fruit trees, carefully sensing the energy transmission, and constantly reducing the distance between itself and the other party according to the strength of the fluctuations.

Just then, Riolu, who was running around in the orchard in the freezing cold to train, suddenly noticed its strange behavior and immediately ran over.

"Leo!"

What are you doing, stealing fruit?

"Little friend, don't spread rumors. Why would I steal something like that..."

The Crowned King shook his head, removed his hands from the tree trunk, placed them behind his back, and calmly gazed ahead. He slowly said, "Little friend, I see you have extraordinary talent. You run and train here every day; you must really want to become stronger, right?"

"Leo!?"

How did you know?

"I know~"

Calyrex hasn't been idle these past few days; it has been quietly observing the Pokémon living here and learning about their personalities and habits so that it can better gain their favor.

Otherwise, what if employees dislike you in the future? Building good relationships is essential. As a former king who once ruled the Galar region, it understands this very well. The Pokémon world emphasizes interpersonal relationships.

He continued, "Practicing brute force won't get you anywhere. If you want to become stronger, you need to go into actual battles. Let your trainer take you to challenge the League Tournament. For just one million, I'll teach you how to win..."

Before Calycerin could finish speaking, Riolu turned and left; there was no point in talking to a conman.

"Why doesn't anyone believe it... One million to chase your dreams, that's cheap, okay? This is the legendary king personally teaching you how to fight."

King Rai-King shook his head slightly, unsurprised by this. If business were so easy to come by, he would have already created the folder for making games.

Although it doesn't know what kind of game it's going to make, its friends who work with it in the studio say they'll provide any help besides funding, no matter what game it makes.

Its friend is a computer engineer named Xiaoyou. She is good at programming, has a lively personality, always speaks loudly, and is particularly good at giving acquaintances all sorts of bizarre nicknames. Even its nickname "Big Turnip" was almost lost, so it doesn't have many friends. Before, when it opened the Mingyou Box, it also asked Xiaoyou for help.

The studio was set up by the two of them together. Of course, it was Lei Guan Wang who came up with the idea, while Xiao You was rarely seen all year round, as she was doing investigations everywhere. But she would respond immediately whenever contacted.

"Should we call her over to help?"

Calyrex continued to sense the energy fluctuations and move forward, pondering these things in its mind, hoping that its friend could help teach the computer and attract the interest of the Pokémon here.

Thinking this, it suddenly stopped, as if sensing something, and slowly opened its eyes. Its majestic and cold gaze stared straight ahead, landing on Ponpo, who had just come out of the villa... That's right! This is it!

Ponpo was completely unaware that it was being watched. It was carrying a large bag of snacks. Latias and the others were busy, so they asked it to help them go to the video game store.

If Mingyou saw this scene, she would definitely grab Latias and make it stand up, telling it to get its own food if it wants it, instead of being lazy like Snorlax, which always goes to get its own food.

But Ponpo is different; whenever anyone needs its help, it will immediately take action...

"Mmm~"

"Little one, wait a minute."

"Hmm?"

Hearing the voice of the Queen of the Rai Crown in her mind, Ponpo stopped and turned around curiously, thinking that the other party needed her help.

The Crowned King stepped forward, took a quick look, and was basically certain that the energy came from the other party. It had also been observing Ponpon over the past few days.

It's probably the most talkative Pokémon in the manor. It has a very simple and kind personality. It will never refuse anyone's request, even if it's just to itself. It showed goodwill from the very beginning.

"Come to think of it, wasn't that your statue the one I saw in Emerald Town before?"

King Lace Crown planned to first try to get closer to the other party and build rapport before inquiring about the source of that energy.

"Mmm~"

Ponpo smiled and nodded, indicating that the statue in Ponpo Square was indeed its own, made especially for it by Mingyou, and that it had visited the site several times.

"I see. I remember there were a few masks decorating that statue? They seemed to represent different emotions, like joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness. What were those?"

"Mmm~"

Ponpo reached into her cloak, took out several of her masks, explained and introduced them to the other person, and then put them back.

However, the Crowned King's attention was not on the masks. It looked at Ponpo's ginkgo leaf-shaped cloak with surprise, not quite understanding how such a small thing could hide four masks.

Could it be?!

Understood!

What it's looking for is hidden here!

Crassard suddenly realized, and looking at Ponpo's four-dimensional pocket-like cloak, it quietly reached out and easily lifted the cloak from behind as Ponpo picked up the snacks to give them to Latias...

"Little friend, let me see what's inside your clothes..."

The Queen looked on with curiosity, but the moment her cloak was lifted, Ponpo's body trembled violently, her eyes widened, her cheeks flushed red, and the snacks she was holding fell to the ground.

Its most important secret lies inside the cloak, just like the secret view hidden inside a girl's cute underwear. It won't even let Mingyou see it, and it almost got angry with Mingyou because of it once.

And now...

"Mmm!"

This is utterly perverted!!!

Ponpo snapped back to her senses, reached into her cloak and pulled out a thorny vine club. She turned around abruptly, grabbed the club with both hands, and swung it with all her might, smashing it into the face of the Calyrex King!

Calyrex's consciousness froze at this point, and then its body flew out, farther and farther away, smashing several fruit trees that had been broken by Snorlax's punch some time ago and had barely managed to win the revival competition.

Upon hearing Ponpo's voice, the entire manor instantly erupted in excitement, with everyone rushing over.

Upon seeing the Lady Crown being brutally beaten by Ponpo, she immediately realized something. Even the usually well-behaved and adorable Ponpo could get this angry... Could this guy have done something like Momotaro?

really?

That goes without saying!

Without any hesitation, a barrage of punches came crashing down on the newly risen Lady Crown. Lady Crown had almost no time to react before being soundly beaten, unable to even utter a scream.

Why is my favorability rating getting lower and lower the more I try to increase it...?

These were the last questions in the Crowned Calypso's mind before it completely lost consciousness. The farce only ended when the Moon Bear planted it in the snow like a tree.

"What's all the noise about?"

Wearing rain boots covered in mud and snowflakes, and holding a hoe, Mingyou walked out of the villa. She glanced at the Calycerin buried in the snow and was about to go forward when her Rotom phone suddenly rang.

"Hmm? Was that from Qishu?"

He was somewhat surprised, as this was the first time the other party had taken the initiative to call him. Usually, they would only chat via messaging apps. It seemed that the other party had something important to tell him.

After all, he had promised the other party that if they needed any help, they could come to him to discuss it...

The call connected, and immediately came Kiju's lively and distinctive greeting from the other end.

Good morning, lunch, and evening!

"Good morning! But it should be evening in Parthia now, right?"

Mingyou hadn't gotten the time difference wrong, and after greeting him, she couldn't help but ask curiously, "What do you want to see me so late? Don't tell me it's just for a chat."

"No, no, actually... well, do you have some time lately?"

"You want to come over and play?"

"Sigh... I've been very busy lately. I just wanted to ask if you were free. The TV station in Niangguang City wants to interview you in Beishang Township... That's why I'm calling you to let you know."

"Huh? An interview with Niangguang TV?"
