Pokémon: Starting as a Farmer Instead of a Trainer

Chapter 73 The Last Activities of Summer Camp

More than half a month has passed since Dr. Kukui and Xiao Zhao visited the manor.

During this time, Mingyou bought Rotom cell phones for Ponpo and Latias, and even spent a lot of money to hire someone to build a signal base station on the roof of the villa.

No more worrying about the internet looping around.

I thought the TV at home was still usable, but it turned out to be a long time ago. This kind of old-fashioned home TV from more than ten years ago is beyond repair.

However, there isn't enough money right now to buy a new TV, so Mingyou plans to wait until after the summer vacation to talk about it.

Under his hands-on instruction, Ponpo quickly learned how to use the Rotom mobile phone. Ponpo learns everything very quickly, and being with Latias is a perfect example of both positive and negative.

Fortunately, Latias managed to figure out how to operate the system and how to type human text using a keyboard after some trial and error.

After asking Naruto for help, she finally got Lillie's friend slot. And so, without either of them knowing that the other was a Pokémon, they became very good friends.

In addition, they all have older brothers, and even their brothers have very similar personalities. Latias is referring to his older brother Latios, not the fake one, Naruto.

After learning that Lillie hadn't done her summer homework, which required her to document the ecology of a Pokémon, Latias promptly offered to help.

Since they don't dare to interact with Pokémon, I'll record Munchlax's daily life at the manor through videos.

Naruyu saw all of this, but turned a blind eye and didn't tell Dr. Kukui. He also encouraged Latias to make friends.

However, compared to Latias, Ponpo is much less troublesome. It only sends messages to Mingyou, and it takes a long time to think about each message. It's still not quite used to playing games...

And on this day...

After three days of heavy rain, the weather cleared up again. The rain brought a touch of coolness to the hot Beishang Township. There are less than ten days left until the end of summer vacation. Time flies.

Early this morning, Mingyou wandered around the orchard. Because of the rain, many fruits had been washed to the ground, and the condition of the fruit trees also needed to be recorded.

Looking at the few owl nuts that had fallen to the ground, he bent down, picked them up, and shook his head helplessly: "I really don't like rain. Business can't be done. When it rains, nobody comes out."

"Gurgle~"

The tree owl agreed with him. When it rains, they all take shelter inside the villa. With a place to avoid the rain, who would be a fool to huddle together on the branches and use their feathers to keep warm?

"Ha ha."

Mingyou smiled and then asked, "By the way, next month will be autumn. You bird Pokémon should all have migratory habits, right?"

"Gurgle~"

The night owl nodded. It would lead the cuckoos south to the Kanto region in late autumn and return to Kitakami Village in spring.

"Is that so..."

Meiyu nodded gently. Kitakami Township is close to the Sinnoh region, and it gets very cold in winter. Only the area around Mount Devil is warmer, but it is a volcano and not suitable for all Pokémon to live there.

Sure enough, the ecological transformation of the manor must be put on the agenda, because the growth of mutant crops is also closely related to the Pokémon.

The more Pokémon living on the farm, the more the quality of the crops, the higher the yield, and the longer the growth cycle will be affected...

"Looks like I'll have to learn this on my own, or maybe I'll have the chance to visit the Blueberry Academy and see how their giant ecological egg came about."

Thinking this, Mingyou had already walked around the orchard, and then came to the backyard, only to suddenly discover that the tea leaves planted a long time ago had ripened, because she hadn't noticed them due to the rain these past few days.

He walked to the edge of the field and looked at the lush green tea leaves, each one like a freshly sprouted bud, still covered in dew. He couldn't help but wonder, could every single tea leaf have an effect?

That number is outrageous!

But after checking the information...

[Magic Green Tea (B-): A tea leaf with a unique green tea aroma, but it only has special effects when dried and brewed or made into matcha. Drinking Magic Green Tea has the effect of warding off evil spirits and can also cure symptoms caused by Ghost-type Pokémon stealing one's life force.]

[Additional effect: After consuming a measured amount of Magic Green Tea, one will understand the move "Hot Water" and master it faster.]

"You'll rinse it with hot water, right...?"

Once I switch to a female account, add a friend, and use AI voice chat, I can switch careers and sell tea online.

Mingyou thought to herself, but it wasn't that simple after all. This kind of thing required processing before it could produce any effect.

Furthermore, if both tea leaves have additional effects, and you brew them together, then you will definitely have to choose one of them to trigger the effect.

Tea is a bit troublesome, not as convenient as fruits and vegetables, but if it tastes good, that's a different story. Selling tea can be very profitable, let alone this kind of pure natural green tea!

He then picked a tender leaf, put it directly into his mouth and tasted it; it was incredibly fragrant and had a sweet aftertaste.

"Hmm~ This will definitely sell well, but fewer people drink tea this season. Let's start selling it in the fall. First, let's pick some to make tea leaves~"

Just as Mingyou began picking tea leaves, far away in Cuilu Town, as the summer vacation was coming to an end, although new tourists were still arriving, the number of visitors had decreased significantly.

But that's about right. I only rely on these two months to eat every year anyway...

The students participating in the summer camp will also head to the northernmost permanent forest in Beishang Township for their final adventure three days from now.

Everyone is resting or adjusting their state now. With hundreds of people acting together in this haunted place, a battle is inevitable.

At that moment, not far from the Momozawa store, a black van slowly pulled up to its parking spot. A crack was drawn in the black rear window, and a pair of red eyes peered through the lens towards the direction of Hell Valley halfway up Oni Mountain.

"So, Cliff failed here? What a useless guy, forcing the Shadow Pokémon experiment to be temporarily halted..."

The man's voice was soft, but it contained no anger, only a hint of sarcasm. In Team Rocket, there were no teammates, only competition and obedience to orders and arrangements!

He looked away, pushed up his white-framed glasses, and in the dim light inside the bread cart, his handsome face was full of joy. His long black hair, dyed red, was tied into a ponytail, and there was a tuft of hair sticking up high on his forehead.

His identity is that of a member of Team Rocket's GO branch, and he is also known as Team Rocket's strategist by Interpol!

It's not that Alo is a Grass-type Gym Leader from the Galar region; it's just that they share the same name.

The van was spacious and filled with bread-men, almost all of whom wore black uniforms with red "R" patterns.

However, among them, two people were dressed in white uniforms, which seemed out of place with the serious atmosphere. One of them was tall, with long violet hair sticking up as if it were fixed with hair gel.

Beside her was a handsome man with medium-length blue hair, and a cat was sitting nearby...

Just then, the Team Rocket member sitting in the pilot's seat seemed to suddenly notice something and whispered, "Strategist, Candira's here too!"

"Um?"

Upon hearing this, Yalo looked out the window again and saw a tall woman with a hot figure, tanned skin, short hair, and wearing a white uniform with red patterns standing in front of the Momozawa Store, seemingly asking the owner for information.

"Tsk, what a troublesome person... Did she follow us by scent? Ignore her, let's just focus on our mission. With so many people in Kitakami Township, we have the best cover and the best 'assistance'!"

Yalo closed the car window, not paying any attention. It was probably because the news had leaked out during the operation; this woman had been keeping a close eye on him.

However, this mission was sent by headquarters and was even more confidential. Only they knew the specific details. As long as it was completed before the international police found out, it would be a great success.

As he spoke, he put his hands behind his head, turned to look at the two people in white uniforms and Meow Meow, and called out, "And the three of you..."

I heard that these three guys recently disbanded Team Galactic in the Sinnoh region and even destroyed the Pokémon hunters led by "J" who often competed with Team Rocket for business.

So this time he specifically asked headquarters to transfer the three of them from the Sinnoh region to participate in this operation, since they were relatively close by.

However, after meeting them, Yalo felt like he had been fooled. These three guys didn't seem as outrageous as the rumors of them having three heads and six arms.

But we can't judge a book by its cover; we have to see how well they actually perform during missions. So he swallowed the question he wanted to ask and gave a thumbs up.

"You guys better behave yourselves!"

"receive!"

The Rockets' trio, barely containing their excitement, responded with earnest expressions...

I have a cold today and am not feeling well, but there will be one more chapter updated at midnight.
