Elf: Start your slow-paced life after becoming a farmer.

“Ubui. (Dragonite said it was careful with its attacks, so you don’t need to worry.)” Espeon translated, trying not to laugh.

"?"

Zhenyi tilted its head and looked at Dragonite with a puzzled expression. Was this guy provoking it? Or was it just not quite right in the head?

"Well, since you insist, Dragonite, then Winged Beast, why don't you spar with Dragonite?" Carl said, turning to Winged Beast and gesturing with his eyes for it to go easy on him.

After seeing Karl's expression, Zhenyi nodded slightly to him.

Thirty seconds later, Zhenyi returned to the camp with the Dragonite that had lost its ability to move, placed it in front of Carl, and then looked at Carl with innocent eyes.

"Phew! (I didn't expect this guy to be so weak, but it's not my fault!)"

Carl's lips twitched. He knew that Zhenyifa was telling the truth. After all, Zhenyifa had easily defeated Lance's Dragonite team with just one Pokémon, let alone this wild Dragonite.

Under the worried gaze of the three Dratini, Carl gave the unconscious Dragonite a Vitality Piece and then gave it some basic first aid for its injuries.

Not long after, the Dragonite lying on the ground slowly opened its eyes. Its memory was still stuck on the second before it was hit by the Magic Flash from Wingstriker.

The physical pain quickly brought Dragonite back to its senses, and it realized that it had fainted before it could even withstand a single attack.

Dragonite struggled to sit up from the ground, looking at Carl with a complicated expression. This was the first time it had tasted defeat since evolving into Dragonite, and it never expected that it would be defeated by this human.

After a long while, Dragonite finally came to its senses. It first glanced at the three Dratini beside it, who looked worried, and then reached out its paw to pat their heads in a comforting manner. Then, it called out to Karl in a hesitant voice.

“Eevee, Eevee. (Dragonite says it agrees to let you take these three little guys, Carl, and it wants to visit our farm so it can visit them later.)” Espeon translates.

“Of course, no problem. I welcome you to visit these three little guys anytime, Dragonite.” Carl said, then added in his mind, “I wouldn’t object if you brought your entire clan to live on the farm.”

And so, Carl's fishing competition journey came to an end today.

On the other side of this planet, a black-haired boy with Pikachu encounters a purple-haired trainer who is training Pokémon on a beach.

"Hello, my name is Ash, I come from Pallet Town in the Kanto region, and I'm a trainer traveling around. Are you a trainer too?"

The purple-haired boy looked at the Pokémon sweating profusely in front of him, then looked at himself with some suspicion. He couldn't understand why this seemingly dim-witted guy would ask such a stupid question.

But remembering someone's instructions, the purple-haired boy had no choice but to patiently introduce himself: "My name is Shinji. As you can see, I am a trainer from the Sinnoh region."

"A trainer from the Sinnoh region? Great! Please, I absolutely must have a Pokémon battle with you!"

"?"

Shinji was quite certain that the guy named Satoshi was not the type he was good at dealing with, but Satoshi had come to the Kanto region to hone his skills, so he agreed without hesitation.

Three minutes later.

"Really..." Shinji subconsciously wanted to make a sarcastic remark, but when he saw Ash hugging Pikachu with a look of self-reproach, he swallowed back the words he was about to say.

"What are you standing there for? Go to the Pokémon Center and get your Pokémon treated," Shinji said impatiently as he passed Ash.

"Oh right!" Ash exclaimed with a sudden realization, picking up Pikachu and running towards the nearby Pokémon Center. As he ran, he shouted, "Thank you, Shinji! I'll definitely win next time!"

Watching Ash's departing figure, Shinji said confidently, "We won't lose to such an idiot, right, Torterra?"

The Torterra standing next to Shinji nodded steadily, also believing that its trainer would not lose to that trainer.

After all, what serious trainer would use Pikachu to fight against someone with a Ground-type Pokémon?

“After leaving the Kanto region, let’s go to the Padia region to find our master.” Shinji reached out and stroked the shell of the Tortoise, a faint smile appearing on his face. “It’s been a long time since we last met.”

Chapter 83 Telephone and Text Message (Please continue reading)

The following day, after returning the rented SUV to the rental company's branch in Jinhui Town, Carl took Piper and Nemo on their journey home.

Since Pipa and Nemo are accompanied by three Dratini, Pipa and Nemo will no longer need to share a Flying Pokémon.

At noon, as the Steelraven landed safely, Carl finally returned to his loyal farm.

The moment it sensed Karl's presence, the Monarch Serpent burst out of the farmhouse and pounced into Karl's arms.

“I’m back, Serpent Lord.” Karl gently stroked Serpent Lord’s cool scales, his voice soft. “Have you missed me these past few days?”

Upon hearing Karl's question, the Monarch Serpent didn't shyly wriggle out of his arms as it usually did. Instead, it nuzzled its head against Karl's chest and softly murmured, "Galo... (I missed you so much...)"

Upon hearing the Serpent's reply, Karl smiled and responded, "I miss you too."

On the other side, after Dragonite put Nemo down from its back, it began to look around at the environment of Carl's farm.

First, it saw farmland that stretched as far as the eye could see, lush and green, with seedlings of various crops neatly arranged in the fields, a truly pleasing sight.

In the farmland, four little lambs were leisurely strolling around, using the grass to provide nutrients for the crops.

The peaceful expression on the faces of the little lambs suggests that they are not being forced to "work".

After a brief observation, Dragonite nodded to himself. At least for now, the environment and atmosphere in this human "territory" seemed quite good.

With the arrival of Serperior, the Pokémon on the farm seemed to be summoned and gradually gathered around Carl.

Once all the Pokémon on the farm had arrived, Carl took out six Poké Balls and threw them out.

With a flash of white light, Gengar, Majestic Fang, Garchomp, and three Dratini appeared simultaneously on the farm.

The moment the six Pokémon appeared, Serperior instinctively looked at Garchomp. Some kind of "radar" in its mind told it that this seemingly weak Pokémon posed a "threat" to it.

Meanwhile, after being released, Garchomp immediately felt a "scorching" gaze.

The moment Garchomp's eyes met Serperior's, it sensed a subtle hostility from the green, snake-like Pokémon's eyes, leaving Garchomp somewhat bewildered.

This is its first day on the farm. Why is that Pokémon hostile towards it? Or is there something wrong with its perception?

Metagross, mingling among the Pokémon, silently observed its six new companions. Unlike Serperior, Metagross's attention was always focused on Majestic Fang.

Metagross focuses its attention on Majestic Fang because it cannot find any information about Majestic Fang in the existing Pokédex.

Based on the "wild" aura emanating from Majestic Fang, which is similar to that of Winged Fly, Metagross speculates that this Pokémon named "Majestic Fang" is most likely an Ancient species among the "Paradox Pokémon" like Winged Fly.

Metagross vaguely remembered Carl mentioning that the Ancients were more like wild beasts in mind, which is why they had a huge impact on the environment.

Although this big guy seemed pretty docile, Metagross didn't let its guard down. Who knew when it would give the farm a "big" surprise?

After introducing the new companions to the Pokémon remaining on the farm, Carl immediately had Espeon and Kumamon work together to prepare lunch, while he began to solve the "accommodation" problem for the new Pokémon joining the farm.

After consulting with them, Carl first arranged for the three dwarf dragons to live with the dragons in Little Pot Lake, as Carl had planned long ago.

Secondly, there was Majestic Tooth. Because of its enormous size, Carl placed it in an uncultivated field on the farm and had the Serpent Lord build it an open-air wooden house.

Finally, there's Gengar and Garchomp. Due to its species characteristics, the former can sleep anywhere, but it seems to get along very well with Rotom, so Carl lets it live with Rotom.

Since Garchomp needs to keep an eye on the Pokémon eggs, Carl plans to place it near the farmhouse.

Upon hearing Karl's decision, the Serpent Monarch realized that the newcomer had actually joined Karl's team with a child.

This somewhat diminished Serperior's hostility towards Garchomp, and even made the little house it built for Garchomp more sturdy.

After lunch, Dragonite, who had been acting as the "guardian dragon," had completed its mission and was ready to leave.

Carl didn't try to stop it much, but gave Dragonite a large bag of Pokémon food before it left.

"This is Pokémon food that Master Bear usually uses when cooking. It tastes really good." After handing the Pokémon food to Dragonite, Carl instructed it, "If you finish eating it, you can come to the farm to get more anytime. Even if I'm not here, you can find the Pokémon on the farm."

Dragonite blinked, then nodded hesitantly, before flying into the sky with the large bag of Pokémon food in its arms, disappearing from Carl's sight in the blink of an eye.

"Poof! (I want to be as fast as it someday!)" Dragonair said longingly, looking in the direction Dragonite had left.

“I believe you will,” Carl said, then added, “After all, you are my Pokémon.”

After saying goodbye to Dragonite, Carl planned to show the newly joined Pokémon around the farm.

But just then, a phone call forced Carl to postpone the plan.

"Hello, President Yeci, what can I do for you?" Karl asked, sounding puzzled, after answering the phone.

"Karl, you should already know what happened at the academy, right?" President Yeci's voice came through the microphone. She didn't answer Karl's question directly, but asked him a question in return.

“That’s right, I already know.” Karl now understood the purpose of President Ye Ci’s call. “Are you reminding me about joining Orange Academy?”

"Of course, the number of people affected by this incident is too wide, and the Padia League has been in a state of manpower shortage." Ye Ci said helplessly, "Auntie Tam handed over the position of Gym Leader of the Icebox Gym to Auntie Ryme and urgently joined Orange Academy."

“Okay.” Karl listened to Ye Ci’s slightly tired voice on the other end of the line. He hesitated for a moment before speaking. “I have some things to do for a few days. I will go to Orange Academy to complete the onboarding procedures by next Sunday at the latest.”

Ye Ci was surprised that Karl agreed so readily. She said in a relaxed tone, "Okay, no problem. But please let me know the day before you start so I can make arrangements for you."

"no problem."

After hanging up the phone, Carl looked at the flight tickets from Nimbusa to Manjin on his phone.

After all, he had already planned to go to Goldenrod City to buy a large milk tank before his trip, and also to try his luck.

Just then, a message notification popped up on Carl's phone screen. He opened it and saw:

Thank you for what you did for all the students at Orange Academy who are suffering from bullying.

Cassiopeia

Upon reading the text message, Carl was initially taken aback, then a playful smile appeared on his lips:

This is what I should do; thank you for your hard work, Xing.

Chapter 84 Carl: Mr. Du, how can I help you? (Please continue reading)

In a dormitory room at Orange Academy in Zhuotai City, Peony stared blankly at the information on the screen, feeling as if the sky had fallen.

Why did that man named Carl know the slogan of the Sky Star team?

Sylveon, who was crouching by the table, noticed her trainer's unusual behavior and gently called out, "Sylveon?"

"I'm fine, Sylveon." Peony immediately snapped out of her daze upon hearing Sylveon's voice.

Peony never expected that Karl would know the Star Team's "little secret." Her fingers flew across the keyboard, typing a long string of text into the dialog box. Then, after thinking for a moment, she deleted all the text.

"Sigh, never mind, he probably doesn't know my real identity, right?"

As a computer prodigy, Mudan is quite confident in her hacking skills. She is certain that no one has yet been able to reverse-engineer her real IP address through hacking.

But what Mudan didn't know was that someone who had read the script already knew everything.

……

Three days later, after resting at the farm, Carl led a group of Pokémon on their journey to Goldenrod City.

Thanks to Serperior's careful instruction, Nerubian and its four riding sheep have fully mastered Grassy Terrain moves, so Serperior naturally became the first Pokémon Carl brought to Goldenrod City.

As for Master Xiong and Zhenyi, it goes without saying that the former is related to Karl's food, clothing, shelter and transportation, while the latter has never left Karl's side.

Considering the possibility of participating in the storyline of the new island, Carl chose Zapdos as the flying Pokémon for this trip.

For the remaining two slots, Carl ultimately chose Dragonite and Swampert.

Carl left his sweet little darling, Espeon, at home this time, not only to have it keep an eye on Metagross, but also to have it comfort the new Pokémon that had joined the farm.

When Carl passed through security at Niangguang Airport, there was still an hour before boarding.

After arriving at the boarding gate, Carl and his Pokémon strolled around the area.

"Huh? Are those Rotom phones?" As Carl passed by a high-tech store, he saw the orange-red phones fluttering in the store and realized that he didn't seem to have bought a Rotom phone yet.

However, when Carl thought about his own talkative washing machine, he ultimately gave up the idea of ​​buying a Rotom phone.

After all, that talkative washing machine has been talking about wanting a new body for a long time. If it knew that Karl had actually found a "new love" behind its back, Karl probably wouldn't have a peaceful day.

As the announcement came over the loudspeaker, Carl collected the Pokémon that were following him into their Poké Balls one by one, and then headed towards the boarding gate.

At this moment, a middle-aged office worker who was "appointed in a time of crisis" and sent on a business trip to the Galar region happened to witness Karl queuing to board the plane.

"What's going on?" Aoki's brain froze for a moment, then his hands moved quickly as he pulled out his phone from his pocket and dialed that familiar number.

"Hey, Aoki, what's wrong?" Yaji's tired voice came from the other end of the phone.

Before Ye Ci could even ask for details, Aoki blurted out, "President, I saw that guy at the airport."

"Which guy?" Ye Ci was taken aback.

“Karl”.

"Oh, Karl... wait, Karl?!"

Ye Ci jumped up from her seat: "You said you saw Karl at the airport?"

Yes, he is queuing at the boarding gate to board the plane.

Ye Ci felt she really needed to rest, otherwise why would she have such a dream? Her "talent development" plan hadn't even been fully implemented yet, so how could the target have run away already?

"President?" Just as Ye Ci was questioning his life, Aoki on the other end of the phone couldn't help but remind him, "Should I go and stop him?"

"No, no need." Ye Ci had already realized what was going on. "Aoki, can you check what the destination of that flight is?"

“Mankin City, Chairman,” Aoki replied immediately.
