Pokémon: Starting as a Farmer Instead of a Trainer

Chapter 212 The Crowned King Unleashes His Power, Resurrect My Fruit (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

"Hurry, hurry, hurry!"

"If it can't fit, smash the rest!"

A group of Team Rocket members wearing black uniforms with a red "R" pattern are working with many Machops to load baskets of secretly picked fruit onto a truck parked nearby.

In the past, they probably never dreamed that they would one day go out as a group, not to catch any monsters like Raikou, Yandi, or Shuijun, but to steal fruit from someone else's yard...

Bombing the plantation and stealing the fruit were both part of Lambda's plan. After all, for most people, both fruit and tree fruit have a long growth cycle, at least two or three months, right?

If the newly planted fruit trees are destroyed and as much fruit as possible is stolen from the existing trees, Mingyou will be severely weakened and unable to supply the fruit market in time for at least the next two or three months.

That's when Team Rocket stepped in, quickly filling the gap with pirated fruit and entering the market. This wasn't selling Pokémon; it was a completely legal business, and the international police couldn't investigate it even if they wanted to.

"Hurry up, we need to get ready to leave!"

"receive!"

"This mission was so easy, there wasn't a single danger."

"Yeah, if you ask me, why don't we just capture all the Pokémon in this manor? I heard online that there's a Pokémon called Grimpus that lives here, let's capture it and sell it!"

"A peculiar creature...it's so cute! I really want to see it locked in a cage, crying and trembling in fear. It would definitely fetch a good price!"

"Don't cause any trouble, get ready to leave!"

After smashing the fruit that the truck couldn't fit, the Rockets members gathered together and chatted. It was such an easy task that they didn't need to be nervous at all.

Lambda sat in the passenger seat of one of the trucks, his arm resting on the open window, a slight smile playing on his lips as he looked towards the villa with a hint of amusement: "What an innocent brat. Hurry up and catch up. I don't believe you can resist something like this!"

He had his men set up a trap on the only road leading from the villa to this side, intending to give Mingyou a big surprise. How could he not teach this brat who was going against Team Rocket a lesson?

In that instant, a ray of light pierced the night sky, sparkling and dazzling, accompanied by a fiery red like maple leaves. Ponpo, holding a thorny vine club and wearing a fire stove mask, descended from the sky like a shooting star, slamming the club heavily on the front of the car with a loud bang!

"What!?"

All the Team Rocket members were stunned at that moment, and then a colorful dragon energy gathered in the sky and shot down!

Only then did they realize they were under attack, and they all took out their Poké Balls, but before they could throw them, the ground began to shake.

The wet mud after the snow melted rose like surging waves, forming a muddy current that swallowed them. All the trucks got stuck in the mud, constantly slipping after starting and unable to get off.

The Phantom Fish and the Moon Bear appeared here, completely changing the landscape.

"Hey, hey... This is incredible! That brat, does he actually have this kind of power?!"

It's not strength, it's influence!

The wild Pokémon living in the manor actually dared to fight Team Rocket without fear of death. Who was directing this from behind the scenes? The answer is obvious.

Lambda looked out the window, his playful expression turning into complete surprise. He seemed to have underestimated Mingyou's abilities. So, should he run away?

He's always the type to run away when he can't win. He might say he's most loyal to Boss Sakaki, but if Team Rocket ever disbands, he'll definitely be the first to run away.

Moreover, this kind of thing must be reported to Sakaki... I guess I should just run away. This time, his unauthorized decision seems to have caused a lot of trouble again.

Lambda quickly changed his clothes, opened the car door, and prepared to escape, but after only a few steps, a sound he least wanted to hear suddenly came from the front.

"Don't let your Ditto fall!"

Mingyou crumpled Lambda's Ditto into a ball and slammed it into the other's face. He was really angry now. Who did Lambda think he was, driving his car to his doorstep for a free purchase?

Even if Sakaki were here today, he would have to pay me before he could leave!

He reached out and took the thorny vine stick from Ponpo. Influenced by the stove mask, the vines wrapped around the stick had turned completely red, as if they were smeared with blood, which was very eerie on such a night.

"Those double-explosive gas canisters you hid to ambush me on the road have all been wiped out by He Yue. Do you have any other tricks up your sleeve? If not, then lie down!"

"No, no, no... Do you remember? I gave you information before..."

"Sorry, I don't remember."

As he spoke, Mingyou struck Lambda down with his stick, and Lambda lay down with Ditto in his arms. That was how the international fugitive who had been escaping capture by disguising himself came to be.

To avoid Lambda being in disguise again, Latias even kicked him to confirm it was really him.

Mingyou returned the thorny vine to Ponpo and sighed softly. Apart from the first encounter with Team Rocket, he had not felt any real crisis since then, and the problems were generally solved easily.

But this time, it's not him facing a crisis, but the future of the manor... The business competition with the Rockets is crucial, and it's unclear when these people will start making their move.

and……

Mingyou took a deep breath, looking at the smashed fruit on the ground and the fruit trees being rescued from the explosion in the distance. He clenched his fists so tightly that his nails almost dug into his flesh. What kind of deep hatred and resentment could this be?

The fruit trees were planted not long ago, many of them planted by him and Xiao Zhao together. They were almost ripe, and then they all exploded! Was it a cosmic bomb monster?!

What an indescribable bunch of births!

If he could, he really wanted to drag Momoyo out, feed these newborns poisoned sticky rice cakes, and then have them work, planting all the fruit trees... But there seems to be another Pokémon that can control people?

Inside the dimly lit arcade, Rare Crown sat at the counter, her head emitting a faint glow as she operated the only computer in the store. Her Rotom phone lay beside her, seemingly chatting with someone.

It naturally heard all the commotion outside, but it was too busy to go out and see what was going on.

Having finally regained some of its power using the emerald stone tablet, it planned to record all the game content it had conceived and create a folder for it.

"I haven't decided on a name yet, so let's just leave it at that for now... Hmm, it's so lively outside, that guy Mingyou definitely hasn't been resting. I'll have him come over and see my progress, and then allocate some funding for me!"

With unwavering confidence, King Raikou floated slowly out of the arcade. By releasing his spiritual power, he instantly gained an understanding of the manor's situation the moment he stepped outside.

"So bad? Have your enemies come knocking on your door?"

Staring at the rising smoke in the distance, King Rachel stood there dumbfounded. Then, he came to his senses and shook his head slightly: "This won't do. What if the losses are too great and he doesn't have the money to allocate funds to me? I really should..."

Before he finished speaking, the Crowned King slowly closed his eyes and waved both hands simultaneously. The emerald green stone slabs on his body instantly emitted a green light, and the bud on his head also emitted a faint blue energy that spread outwards.

"I am the King of Abundance! Not just a turnip that only knows how to farm! Rise, my..."

The Crowned King suddenly opened its eyes, and an aura of ancient kingship was instantly released from its body. Its majestic and cold gaze swept across the area in front of it, and the energy it spread out instantly turned into a lush green landscape.

The dead fruit trees began to come back to life, and new fruit began to grow on the newly grown branches. On many undamaged fruit trees, the previously unripe fruit ripened instantly...

Riolu and the others, who were putting out the fire, were stunned by this sudden scene. Mingyou, who was still thinking about a solution, was momentarily stunned after noticing this scene, then smiled calmly and guessed what was going on.

This is the power of the King of Abundance. With a wave of his right hand, he can make flowers bloom and grass grow lush and green. With a wave of his left hand, he can make the fields fertile and the crops abundant. He is a legendary Pokémon with a heart full of compassion!

Calyrex completely repaired the destroyed grove in less than a minute, even bringing spring to the manor ahead of schedule, causing everything to revive and many Pokémon that were hibernating in the manor to awaken.

Withdrawing her hand, the Crown of Beauties sat wearily on the ground, its once radiant buds gradually dimming.

"Phew... This is quite a drain on my energy. Even at this level, it seems I still can't freely use my power without the power of faith..."

It gently shook its head, caught the falling emerald green stone slab. Since it had the slab, this little bit of consumption was nothing. It would rest for a while first, and then go find Mingyou to ask for its wages...

The explosion was very loud and could be clearly heard even in Greentown. Many residents and Pokémon were awakened from their sleep, and the barking of the Polihounds echoed through the streets and yards.

Yumi ran out in her pajamas with only a coat on, and as a frontline reporter, her intuition told her that something must have happened.

But just as she was contacting Ah Zhuo to get up and come over, she suddenly discovered that her phone had a missed call, and it was from Miss Officer Jenny.

"Um?"

With doubts in her mind, she called back, and Ms. Officer Jenny spoke with her after the call was connected.

The other party was the police in Cerulean City, Kanto Region. In the evening, sanitation workers found a man from the Padiya region who had been stripped naked in a trash can near the city's train station...

"Azhuo is in Hualan City? Then who was the person who went on the interview with me during the day?"

She stood there, stunned, unable to understand...

As dawn broke, many police cars were urgently dispatched from Iwate City, the closest city to Kitakami Township, while a heavyweight arrived from the Quartz Plateau in a Dragonite.

Champion A-Du still looked like he hadn't woken up yet. He had put aside his work these past few days to prepare for a Valentine's Day date with Kona, but Naruto, whom he hadn't contacted in a long time, suddenly called him and said that they had caught a Rockets executive.

At first, he thought the other person was joking, but after the other person sent him a photo of Lambda being beaten up, he had no choice but to be respectful.

"Valentine's Day is almost here and they're giving me even more work... But catching Team Rocket is way more fun than having a girlfriend, and I finally caught them!"
