Pokémon: Starting as a Farmer Instead of a Trainer

Chapter 351 Ancient Oranges and Rice Grapes, A Different Colored Burning Insect (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Several days passed after returning from the Unova region. The banquet went very smoothly, but Kyurem wasn't interested in such things. Being a civil engineer suited him much better.

Reshiram seemed to be having a lot of fun with everyone. It's a Pokémon that's cold on the outside but warm on the inside, and it's happy to take everyone flying together.

Meloetta easily won over all the Pokémon with her singing voice. Including it, Calyrex's band now has twelve members and is thriving. It will teach everyone how to sing.

Mingyou had only one request: the practice area had to be far away from her home…

After a few days of excitement, daily life gradually returned to normal.

During these few days, he encountered Latios's brother, Latios. Although he already knew that Latios had gone to live in the manor, he did not meet him when he returned.

Only after inquiring did they learn that the Infinity Flute had been found. It had indeed been secretly taken by Team Rocket for research. When news of Giovanni's capture spread, some members of Team Rocket's branch escaped with the Infinity Flute, which Team Rocket sensed. That's why Team Rocket made a special trip to retrieve the Infinity Flute and teach those thieves a lesson they would never forget.

Mingyou didn't mind that he was staying at the manor, as long as he didn't cause trouble. He then learned from Tie Wuzhe about the current handling of various matters at the manor, such as the planting and sale of crops.

Although he hadn't returned for several months, he had used the seeds and saplings he had acquired to mutate the new cards in advance, and then sent them back, so they are now basically mature.

However, he also reminded people not to sell these crops for the time being, since some crops would turn back into cards after being harvested and he would have to take over them. Moreover, only he could assess the effects of the mutant crops.

Otherwise...

[Reshiram (lv10): After being used on a dragon fruit tree, the species changes to a white dragon fruit tree. Eating the fruit grants true power.]

[Zekhrom (lv2): When used on a Jaboticaba tree, it changes to a Black Jaboticaba tree. Consuming the fruit grants desired power.]

[Kyurem (lv5): After being used on a Dragon Fruit Tree, its species changes to a Gray Void Dragon Fruit Tree. Consuming the fruit grants chaotic power.]

"It's simply unclear what it means..."

Mingyou looked at the three cards in her hand. How could anyone know the true effect of something if it wasn't planted? But the fruit trees she bought today had arrived, and she would be able to find out how effective they were in a while.

In addition, there was another fruit that he cared about even more, which had ripened and was a gift left to him by Milerton: Milerton grapes!

Looking at those plump, metallic-sheen purple grapes, they were simply mouthwatering. He then checked the results...

[Mirai Grape (B+): Grapes from a billion years in the future, large and plump, loved by Pokémon that have undergone mechanical ascension. It is a variety that has not yet been created. It has a unique futuristic flavor and slightly increases physical strength after consumption.]

[Additional Effects: Upon consumption, one gains power from the future, maximizing attack power for 3 hours, with a very low chance of receiving future technological upgrades.]

It's basically the same as the Kulai orange.

However, when he shared his posts and gave away a lot of Pokémon in a giveaway, it seems that none of them activated the Ancient Bloodline like Jigglypuff. The probability is indeed quite low. Of course, it is also possible that those Pokémon did not have an Ancient Form.

So we can continue selling them together. If a Pokémon is indeed activated with ancient bloodlines or modified by future technology, then we can roughly estimate the probability.

But he's not an unscrupulous seller. He makes a point of explaining the possible consequences of the two types of fruit when he sells them, so that no one will come to him to settle scores after their 'Piligeweng' fruit turns into iron waste.

After working for most of the day, inspecting all the new variant crops, and estimating their prices, he finally notified Iron Warriors that these products could be put on the shelves.

After finishing all that, he planned to go to Emerald Town to check on the situation. Danyu and the others had already returned today and were with Xiaozhao, helping to find a school and a location for the dessert shop that Ponpon wanted in town.

After returning to the villa and changing his clothes, he greeted Heyue and was about to summon Reshiram to send him over, but as soon as he raised his right hand to summon the white dragon, he felt something crawling around him.

"Buzzing..."

"Um?"

Mingyou looked down and saw a little guy tugging at his pants.

This little creature resembles a moth larva, with blue eyes, five slightly curved golden antennae around its head like burning flames, a brown lower body, three pairs of black legs, and its head and upper body covered in white down, making it look very cute.

This is a Shiny Flareon, which hatched from a Pokémon egg that he brought home from an old lady at the breeding center when he was in Brewmaster City.

These Pokémon are all abandoned by irresponsible trainers who left their Pokémon in the breeding center, resulting in accidental pregnancy and eggs, but then abandoned them without any care.

Pokémon eggs are usually taken care of by breeding centers, which then give them to new trainers who want Pokémon, or hatch and raise them before releasing them into the wild...

"What's wrong?"

Mingyou crouched down and patted its head, realizing that the other seemed to want to talk to her about something.

This burning insect was quite small, less than half the size of a normal insect. When it hatched, he was initially pleasantly surprised to see that it was a different color, but that later turned into worry.

Because the flamingo was in poor health, it may have suffered some accidents while still an egg, resulting in poor development after hatching. Fortunately, the manor's various fruits were rich in nutrients, which allowed it to survive.

"Buzzing~"

The Burning Bug raised its small black claws, but its cry was very weak and strange. Not only could no one understand it, but even Reshiram next to it couldn't understand what it was saying.

Perhaps realizing that no one could understand, Burning Bug loosened Mingyou's trouser legs, not too disappointed, and slowly crawled towards the video game store.

"..."

Watching the little guy leave, Mingyou pondered for a moment, then looked away. It seemed she needed to keep an eye on the burning insect's condition.

These Pokémon are being cared for by Kirlia's older sister, Gardevoir. When I get back, I'll ask her if anything is wrong with Flamebull, and she'll definitely help me take care of it.

"Let's go, let's go to town first."

"Lai Ao!"

Reshiram was also curious about the situation with the Burning Bugs and wanted to know how Naruyu would handle the requests for help from these wild Pokémon.

The white dragon spread its wings and soared, and in no time they arrived at Greentown. He landed smoothly, and Reshiram transformed back into the white dragon mark.

But Reshiram always felt that this was very inconvenient. If only she could be like Ponpo, and go shopping with him. Hmm... maybe she could learn from Latias and seek his advice?

Following the location given by Xiao Zhao, Mingyou quickly arrived at a street near the community center, a place that usually provides accommodation for tourists and sells souvenirs.

For dessert shops located on the street, this is definitely a better choice, as it's close to the town center.

A moment later, he saw Ponpo standing in front of a store, looking inside with a worried expression. Inside the store, it seemed that an argument was taking place...

"Um?"
