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

"Okay, I understand. You don't need to worry about this." Ye Ci sat back down. "Karl just has to go to Manjin City for some business. He should be back."

"..." Aoki was silent for a moment, "Okay, President, I understand."

Meanwhile, Karl, already seated in first class, sent a message to Yulongdu in the distant city of Yanmo in the Johto region:

Mr. Watari, I have boarded a flight to Mankin City and am expected to arrive at Mankin City Airport in nine hours.

A minute later, the phone Carl was holding vibrated:

receive.

Carl turned off his phone screen, put on the eye mask and earplugs that Master Xiong had prepared for him, and fell into a deep sleep.

……

"Dear passengers, your flight XXXXX is about to arrive at Manjin International Airport..."

"Phew, we've finally arrived." Karl took off his blindfold, turned to look out the window, and saw rows of tall buildings coming into view.

(Golden City in the anime)

Goldenrod City, the largest city in the Johto region, is located in the western part of the Johto region and is a large metropolis comparable to Goldenrod City.

Manjin City is not only the economic and technological center of the Johto region, but also home to the only broadcasting tower in the Johto region.

Carl's destination, the world-renowned Moo Moo Ranch, is located on the outskirts of Goldenrod City.

As Carl stepped out of the Golden City Airport, he once again felt the mild climate unique to the Kanto and Johto regions.

Compared to the neighboring Kanto region, the Johto region has a more humid climate, and as the center of the Johto region, Manganese City has a more rural feel than Koumitsu City, which is also a technology center.

Just as Carl was about to take the airport bus to the Goldenrod Gym, a figure that looked extremely familiar appeared before him.

"Hey Carl, long time no see."

"Mr. Watari, what brings you here?"

The figure that Karl found extremely familiar was none other than the Flying (crossed out) Dragon Elite Four member of the Kanto Alliance—Lance the Dragon.

However, at this moment, Du was not wearing his signature tight-fitting combat suit and black cloak, but rather a set of very comfortable-looking casual clothes.

“I happened to have some free time, so I came.” Yu Longdu looked around. “This isn’t the place to talk. Let’s find a quiet place to chat.”

“Okay.” Carl nodded, looking at the crowd of people around them who were all looking at them.

As one of the Kanto Elite Four and the Johto Champion, Lance is extremely popular in both Kanto and Johto. At this moment, many trainers nearby recognized Lance's identity and were eager to approach him and strike up a conversation.

Upon seeing this, Carl immediately released Zapdos. Lance glanced at Carl, then also released Dragonite and left.

In a high-end restaurant in Goldenrod City that had been booked out in advance, Carl and Lance sat facing each other, while a group of Pokémon were enjoying the delicious food on their plates.

"Besides buying the large milk tank from Xiaoxi, do you have any other plans for coming to Manjin City this time?" Yulongdu asked first.

“Well, I’m also planning to collect the badges from the Goldenrod Gym.” Carl answered Lance’s question first, then asked in return, “What’s wrong, Mr. Lance? Is there anything I can help you with?”

Yulongdu looked at Karl with some surprise: "I do need your help with something. Do you remember what I told you before?"

"The trainer who went missing?" Carl pretended to think for a moment before answering.

“That’s right.” Lance hesitated for a moment before continuing, “In the past few days, many missing trainers have been found, but they have all lost their memories of the days they were missing.”

After hearing what Yulongdu said, Karl finally confirmed that this whole thing must have been the work of some underdog. However, in order to meet this street thug, Karl couldn't expose the underdog.

With this in mind, Karl raised his head, looked directly into Watari's eyes, and asked, "Then, Mr. Watari, how can I help you?"

Testimonials

This book will be officially available for purchase at 12:00 today. Thank you all for your continued support!

I would also like to express my sincere gratitude to editor Yaofeng for giving me the opportunity to sign a contract!

Without further ado, here comes the fifth watch!

I started watching the Pokémon anime when I was in kindergarten, back when the original series was still airing. In second grade, I got my first handheld console, the Nintendo DS, and Pokémon Pearl was my gateway into the anime.

I long for the leisurely and relaxed living environment of the Pokémon world, which is also the author's original intention in writing this.

So far, I've already planted many plot holes: the origin of the Winged Hair, the special nature of the Talkative Washing Machine, the Revealing Mirror, the true function of the Bond Power, and so on. Although some content has exceeded the outline, overall it's still within my expectations.

After the New Island storyline ends, you'll likely enter the main storyline of the academy and develop the farm, while also exploring the Shrine of Calamity. Finally, you'll probably explore the Padia Giant Pit, collect the cover god, and then lead the team to Blueberry Academy for an exchange student activity, where you'll meet a certain legendary Pokémon (you can guess which one it is).

The above is a general outline of the subsequent plot. Of course, I still prefer to write about daily life. I wonder if everyone prefers to read about daily life or follow the plot?

As for the rules regarding the release of new content, I referred to other authors' testimonials, and the general rules are as follows:

Once the first five hundred subscriptions are exceeded (generally for follow-up readers), one more chapter will be added for every additional 100 subscriptions.

One extra chapter for every 100 monthly votes.

As for the title of leader or something, I think it's highly unlikely that I, a nobody, will ever get it, unless I do.

Thank you all again for your support. And please, please vote with your monthly tickets, recommendation tickets, and most importantly, first-day subscriptions!!!

Chapter 85 Fishing Plan and Gym Challenge (1/5, Seeking First Subscriptions!!!)

After listening to Yulongdu recount his plan, Karl fell into deep thought.

Lance's plan was actually not complicated. Simply put, after analyzing all the missing trainers, he came to the conclusion that the "culprit" would most likely only target trainers with potential.

Therefore, he planned to "package" a lure to attract the killer to attack him.

Carl was lost in thought not because Lance's plan was so bad, but because he was thinking about a question—the "mastermind," Mewtwo, how did it choose its targets?

According to the information provided by Lance, the trainers who have gone missing are not particularly strong, and there is no Gym Leader who has "disappeared".

Given Mewtwo's arrogant personality, it wouldn't take the League seriously at all, which also proves that Mewtwo's information channels are very limited.

After all, if it really knew anything about the outside world, it would definitely send invitations to the gym leaders of various dojos.

From this perspective, Carl believed that the plan to cross the dragon would most likely fail.

However, Carl didn't care whether the plan failed or not, because according to the original timeline, the trainers invited to the new island were not in any danger except for losing their memories of the new island.

Even if Carl gets involved in the new island's storyline later, causing the plot to go off track, he is confident that he can bring the plot back on track.

With this in mind, Karl agreed without hesitation. Seeing that Karl had agreed to his request, Yulongdu's evaluation of Karl rose to another level.

'As expected, Carl is a trainer with a strong sense of justice.'

Next, Yulongdu discussed the details of the plan with Karl until the end of the meal, at which point he temporarily ended the discussion.

Before bidding farewell to Karl, Yulongdu earnestly instructed Karl: "Then leave the publicity to me. If the other party makes any moves, Karl, you must contact me immediately."

Carl understood what Lance was worried about. In Lance's imagination, the "culprit" must be a cunning psychic or a Psychic-type Pokémon trainer.

While these individuals may not be as physically powerful as Karl, their methods as superpowered individuals are often unpredictable and difficult to defend against.

Sabrina, the Psychic-type Gym Leader of Saffron City, is a prime example. Although she may not be the strongest in Pokémon battles, if she were to personally engage in a battle, even Lance, one of the Elite Four, wouldn't dare say he could easily defeat her.

(Naza in PTCG)

After seeing Karl nod in agreement, Lance released Dragonite and said to Karl, "I've already contacted Akane beforehand. Just tell her my name and she'll take you to her ranch to choose a large milk tank."

“Thank you, Mr. Du,” Carl said sincerely.

Carl knew that, given Ferry's personality, even if he didn't choose to participate in the "fishing plan," the other party wouldn't refuse to offer him help.

"Haha, if you really want to thank me, then you can call me Lance from now on." Lance, standing on the back of Dragonite, said with a smile, "Every time you call me Mr. Lance, I always feel like you're making me feel old."

“Okay, Adu,” Karl readily agreed.

"Then I'll be going now. You must stay vigilant these next few days, and feel free to contact me if you encounter any problems."

The moment Yulongdu finished speaking, the Dragonite beneath him immediately rose into the air, transforming into a blur and disappearing from Karl's sight.

The Dragonair, watching the vanished Dragonite, was filled with fighting spirit. With Carl's help, it believed that it would be even stronger than the Dragonite it had just encountered.

Carl noticed the look in Hakuryu's eyes. He smiled, said nothing, and led the group of Pokémon out of the restaurant, heading towards the Goldenrod Gym according to the map on his phone.

Before long, Carl arrived at the gate of the Goldenrod Gym, pushed it open, and went inside.

After entering the gate, Carl quickly went to the counter. The staff behind the counter immediately asked Carl, "Hello sir, are you a trainer here to challenge the gym?"

"Yes, are there any trainers currently undertaking gym challenges?" Carl asked politely.

"You're in luck. No trainers have booked gym challenges all day." The staff member pointed to a machine next to the counter. "Please place your trainer ID card on this machine. It will automatically register your personal information. If you successfully pass the gym test, we will synchronize your gym challenge record to the system."

Following the staff's instructions, Carl placed his Trainer ID card on the machine.

With a beep, Carl's personal information appeared on the computer screen in front of the staff.

"Hmm, hmm?" The staff member looked at the information on the computer screen in disbelief, then looked up at Carl to confirm, "How many gym badges have you obtained so far?"

“Twenty-seven,” Karl replied calmly.

"...?" The staff member's expression froze for a moment, but her excellent professionalism allowed her to recover immediately: "Okay, please follow me."

Led by the staff, Carl arrived at the battle arena inside the gym. As soon as he entered the arena, he saw a sweet-looking girl with pink hair.

This girl is none other than Akane, the gym leader of Goldenrod Gym and the rancher of MooMoo Ranch, who is officially described as an "explosively beautiful girl".

Upon seeing Carl enter the arena, Xiaoxi greeted him energetically, "Hello, my name is Xiaoxi! I'm the Gym Leader of Goldenrod Gym!"

"Hello, my name is Carl, and I'm currently an ordinary farmer." Seeing that Xiaoxi introduced herself at the beginning, Carl politely followed suit and introduced himself in the same style.

“Karl? That name sounds familiar.” Xiaoxi frowned and thought for a moment, then exclaimed in surprise, “The rancher?! You’re the person Senior Watari was talking about?!”

“If Adu hasn’t mentioned anyone else to you, then it must be me,” Karl nodded in agreement.

After receiving Carl's affirmative answer, Akane blinked. Wataru had only told her that this handsome guy needed to buy Miltank from her, but hadn't mentioned that he was going to challenge the gym!

Xiaoqian hesitated for a moment, then turned to the staff on the sidelines and nodded. She thought to herself, "He's a friend of Senior Du. If he's not good enough, I'll secretly let him win a little so he doesn't lose too badly."

……

Three minutes later, the referee at the edge of the battlefield raised his red flag and announced loudly, "Gym Leader Akane's three Pokémon are all unable to battle. The winner of this battle is challenger Carl!"

Looking at the large milk tank lying on the ground with its round eyes, Xiaoxi fell silent.

Ordinary farmer?

Can an ordinary farmer own Hakron?

How could an ordinary farmer defeat my ace milk tank in less than a minute?

At this moment, Xiaoxi thought to herself, since this young man named Karl is Mr. Du's friend, it is reasonable that he is stronger than her, right?

Thinking this way, Xiaoxi felt a little better. Then she went to Carl and handed him the regular badge representing the Goldenrod Gym.

"Thank you," Karl said, accepting the badge.

"This is what you deserve, Mr. Carl." Seeing Carl's good attitude, Xiaoxi felt embarrassed to throw a tantrum in front of him. "No trainers have booked challenges today, so how about I take you to the ranch to pick out a Miltank now?"

"Really? That's wonderful!"

Chapter 86: A Visit to MooMoo Ranch and Memories with Bamboo Orchid (2/5, Please Subscribe!!!)

Led by Xiaoxi, Carl arrived at MooMoo Ranch, located on the outskirts of Manjin City.

MooMoo Ranch, a ranch on par with Yalo Ranch in the Galar region, is the world's best producer of large milk cans.

Even Blue, whom Professor Oak praised as a "breeder," cannot compare to MooMoo Farm in terms of breeding Miltank.

Upon seeing the boundless "grassland" within MooMoo Ranch, Carl couldn't help but exclaim, "No wonder it's the world-renowned MooMoo Ranch, it's truly magnificent!"

Hearing Carl's exclamation, Xiaoxi couldn't help but puff out her chest and said with pride, "The history of MooMoo Ranch can be traced back to before the establishment of the Johto League. Before the Poké Ball was invented, my ancestors had already started living with Miltank."

Perhaps because of Karl's earlier exclamation, Xiaoxi quickly led him to a clean and tidy shack.

"This is a special place on the farm to house newborn milk tankers," Xiaoxi said, leading Carl through the fence.

As soon as Carl entered, he saw a dozen or so large milk jugs, which looked rather "petite," lying neatly in the haystacks inside the greenhouse.

“You’re lucky. These children are less than three months old and are all very well-behaved.” Xiaoxi turned to Karl and said, “Since you were introduced by Senior Adu, you can choose five children to take with you. As for which children to choose, that depends on your judgment.”

"Can I get up close to them?" Karl asked.

"Of course, you just need to be careful not to scare them."

After obtaining Xiaoxi's consent, Karl stepped forward, took out a large bag of high-quality peaches that he had prepared in advance from his backpack, and began to examine them one by one.

Not long after Karl had finished feeding all the peaches into the giant milk tank, he stood up and told Xiaoxi his choice.

"You have excellent taste. All five of these children's parents are Miltank Pokémon with the Herbivore ability." Xiaoxi handed the five Miltank Poké Balls that Carl had chosen to Carl, and said with a smile, "I'll give you 500,000 League Coins."

Carl was not surprised by Xiaoxi's offer; the large milk cans from MooMoo Ranch were definitely worth the price.

After Carl readily paid, Xiaoxi began to tell him about her experience in raising large milk tanks, and personally gave him a "private lesson" on how to massage and milk the large milk tanks.
