Pokémon: Starting as a Farmer Instead of a Trainer

Chapter 49 Could it be that I really am a kindergarten principal?

Mingyou is really hard to keep up. Since you have the ability to transform, why don't you transform into anything? You could even transform into a yellow mouse, why do you have to transform into a little girl!

Do you expect me to hold your hand and go shopping? Although it doesn't seem like there's anything wrong with that...

"Waaah!"

Latias pouted. She wasn't a Ditto; how could she possibly transform into anything? She had already done her best to become a little girl.

To maintain this state, it couldn't even fight. It had never used this ability before. If Mingyou hadn't reminded it a few days ago that it could become invisible, it probably wouldn't have even remembered that it had this ability.

Looking at the "little sister" in front of her, Ponpo curiously circled around her, and finally hugged her tightly, laughing happily.

"Mmm~"

So pretty! Absolutely adorable!

Watching their interaction, Mingyou sighed and shook her head, feeling helpless: "Remember to follow me when we go this afternoon, don't wander off, there will be a lot of people there."

"Waaah~"

Latias still couldn't speak, only responding with cries. Although telepathy was possible, wouldn't such communication directly expose him? So it was best to remain mute.

Mingyou let them play, then turned her gaze back to the mushrooms growing on the ground. Although they were a variant, they were no different from ordinary mushrooms in appearance, except that they had some stripes in color, somewhat resembling the fur patterns of a small wild boar.

[Mushroom (C+): It has a slightly earthy smell and is not suitable for cooking. However, it contains a small amount of soil element. Ground-type Pokémon will gain a slight increase in their familiarity with Ground-type energy after eating it.]

[Additional effect: After consumption, one will understand the move - 100,000 horsepower, and the mastery speed will be accelerated.]

"The earthy smell..."

Mingyou shook her head. She had originally wanted to try it, but now it seemed unnecessary.

However, it's good that it can only be fed to Ground-type Pokémon; even if they can't be sold, there are still plenty of Ground-type Pokémon in the manor.

After looking at the mushrooms, he went to check on the mutant potatoes not far away. These rat potatoes had all grown, but they needed to be dug up to be examined.

I dug it up with a small shovel and was surprised to find that one seed had grown into eight potato plants. The roots were connected, and the plants varied in size and color, resembling those of a pangolin.

[Rat potato (C+): Rat potato... I'm really delicious! Compared to regular potatoes, I have less starch, but a crisper texture. It's fine to eat it directly, but it's even better when made into chips or fries. It's rich in nutrients and helps with digestion.]

[Additional effect: After consuming, one will understand the move "Quicksand Hell" and accelerate the mastery process.]

"Oh? This can be sold!"

Mingyou nodded in satisfaction. One seed could grow so many. There must be quite a few more in this field. When the time comes, the ones without any additional effects can be used to make potato chips for Ponpo.

He then put the potatoes down and called out to the little wild boars, "These potatoes, mushrooms, and sweet potatoes in the field are all edible!"

"Hmph~"

The little wild boars ran over happily.

Then Mingyou looked at Pengpeng and Latias and called out, "Let's go, let's go check out the orchard."

"Mmm~"

The two of them quickly followed, and just as Mingyou led them back through the back door, the Gible, which had been hiding by the door, immediately hid, though its presence had already been discovered.

Looking towards the corner, Mingyou smiled and said, "Why don't you come along too? The peaches and plums are ripe today. These fruits are different from tangerines; they're plentiful, so you can eat as much as you want."

"shark……"

Gible, clutching its belly, was somewhat tempted but still hesitated. However, Munchlax suddenly appeared after hearing the commotion and, as always, took the first bite of the dry rice.

"Gambit~"

It picked up the hesitant Gible and ran out the door, with Latias immediately following, not wanting to be outdone.

Ponpo was about to follow, but seeing that Mingyou wasn't in a hurry, it stopped, took her hand, and followed her.

"Mmm~"

"Let's go."

Upon arriving at the orchard outside, a plum tree planted near the mandarin orange tree was already laden with white fruits. Although they were all less than the size of a table tennis ball, their fragrance was irresistible and made one's mouth water!

"Gambit~"

The little Snorlax reached out and picked a white plum, putting it in its mouth without even spitting out the pit. It ate it with a very satisfied expression, saying, "This is delicious."

Gible looked at the fruit on the tree and couldn't resist wanting to eat it, but it couldn't reach it. Suddenly, a small, tender hand handed it a few white plums, and Latias picked a few for it.

Although the little girl is a bit silly and can be willful and throw tantrums, she is kind-hearted and knows very well what happened to Gible.

"Waaah~"

"shark……"

The gible was stunned for a moment. It knew that the person in front of it was not human, but still... After hesitating for a moment, it still reached out to accept the hand. After all, it was a kind gesture, and it could feel everyone's concern for it.

Then it grabbed a white plum and ate it, and immediately showed a look of surprise. It really liked this sweet and sour taste!

Mingyou and Pengpeng walked over without disturbing it. He simply smiled slightly, then picked some fruit for Pengpeng before scanning the tree with his eyes and quickly finding the highest quality one...

[White plum (B-): With its sweet and sour, crisp taste, it is excellent for making wine, tea, or dried fruit. It has the effects of relieving fatigue, quenching thirst, and effectively alleviating stomach problems.]

[Additional effect: After consuming, you will learn the move "Barrier Attack" and accelerate the mastery process.]

"Barrier Assault has already been delivered?"

Mingyou was somewhat surprised, as it seemed that only this one had been obtained. However, he was more curious about the fact that Barrier Attack was a move exclusive to Stunning Deer and Unstable Aura, and other Pokémon seemed unable to learn it...

wrong!

He shook his head. Are moves that Pokémon can't learn really impossible to learn? A Pokémon's potential isn't something so inconvenient!

There are no limits to Pokémon!

After all, even Piplup changed its Unyielding ability to Competitive, so if you work hard to understand it, even Garchomp can learn Dragon Dance!

Furthermore, Mingyou discovered something else: B-quality white plums have the effect of relieving stomach problems, but those below C quality do not have this effect. Instead, it says that people with stomach problems should not eat them, as eating too many can easily cause diarrhea.

This is the effect of mutant crops; no matter what, the higher the quality, the better.

He hasn't cultivated an A-quality Pokémon yet. This requires time to cultivate, to increase the Pokémon's affinity with it, and to have more Pokémon to take care of it!

Pulling himself back to reality, he looked at the white plum, took out a label and stuck it on to mark it, telling everyone not to eat it. He planned to experiment later to see if other Pokémon could learn Barrier Attack.

Then he picked a white plum, put it in his mouth and tasted it. It was slightly sour, but this could definitely fetch a good price. Perhaps it could be made into a snack and sold at a stall.

"So that leaves..."

Mingyou looked at a tree not far away, where dozens of white and pink peaches, shaped like hearts, were hanging. This one was the real heavyweight!

These peaches are so big that a child would need two hands to hold them, and one peach would probably be enough to fill them up halfway...

[Watery Peach (B+): Large and plump, fresh and juicy, the original peach aroma has become even more intense. It is believed that everyone will love this taste. Eating it can calm negative emotions, eliminate all abnormal states, and make you happy.]

[Additional effects: After consumption, it grants accelerated familiarity with mental power for 30 minutes, with a 5% chance to permanently increase one's mental power. The effect is doubled for Psychic-type Pokémon, and humans can also consume it.]

"As expected of a card from a legendary Pokémon, the effect is absolutely amazing..."

Mingyou was full of surprise. So the question is, what is spiritual power?

Generally speaking, this thing is like a waveguide; every living being, whether human or Pokémon, has some of it to some extent.

However, only Psychic-type Pokémon or certain Psychic-type Pokémon can see and use it effectively.

However, as long as your mental strength is strong enough, you can directly resist attacks that target the mind, and even keep your brain clear when your life is in danger, thus sustaining yourself through willpower.

He reached out and picked a juicy peach, looking at its tender flesh, which resembled a work of art, and he almost couldn't bear to take a bite.

"Come and eat this!"

Mingyou called out to them, and then began to taste them with great anticipation. The flesh of the water peach was soft and fluffy. With one bite, a burst of fragrant and sweet juice gushed out!

"So sweet! No... this..."

He was amazed by the juice of the water peach, which even reminded him of the blue tangerine, sweet and delicious. In that instant, he felt his mind become clearer.

Seeing the peaches on the tree, Snorlax and the others immediately ran over. They were all very surprised by how big the peaches were. They each took one and sat down to enjoy them.

It was only then that Mingyou came to his senses. Looking at the peach that was still more than half full in his hand, he subconsciously glanced at the Pokémon beside him who were happily enjoying the fruit.

After his mind cleared, he suddenly realized that these Pokémon... were all little kids? And then he was taking them around to play.

Thinking of the other guy, Simocha, who was out running around, he paused for a moment and then subconsciously started to complain.

"Could I really be a kindergarten principal?"
