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

"Hmph. (Hard to say.)" Martial Arts Bear Master still looked at his trainer with wary eyes.

In the eyes of Martial Arts Master Bear, Karl is a terrifying existence with an EX level of cooking ability.

No matter how much the Martial Arts Bear Master guards up, as long as Karl enters the kitchen area, many unpredictable "accidents" will occur, including but not limited to the stove suddenly going out, a certain seasoning just going bad, or it accidentally knocking over a soup pot.

After realizing that Karl was the culprit behind all these accidents, Martial Arts Bear Master never allowed Karl to enter the kitchen again. This was out of responsibility to his companions and to Karl himself.

"Alright, alright, I'll go, okay?" Karl looked at the wary Martial Arts Bear Master, picked up New Leaf Cat, and sat down in the living room to talk to it about the training plan for this afternoon.

After enjoying a delicious lunch, Carl rested for a while before setting off with Newleaf Cat and Serpent Lord.

The reason Karl took Neoleaf and Serperior out for training alone today was because, through his observations over the past few days, he realized that Neoleaf's development at this stage had reached its peak, meaning that Neoleaf was ready to evolve.

In the real world, Pokémon don't evolve simply by reaching a certain level.

To give a simple example, Magikarp, as the most widely distributed Water-type Pokémon in the Pokémon world, requires more than just accumulating energy to evolve.

In the wild, if Magikarp doesn't have the determination and courage to "leap over the dragon gate," it will never be able to evolve into the "ferocious" Gyarados, no matter how much energy it accumulates.

If a trainer who catches a Magikarp cannot guide it to have the courage and determination to evolve, then even if they feed it the best food and energy cubes, they will only get a bloated Magikarp.

After all, given Magikarp's physiological structure, it hardly gains any weight.

In fact, this phenomenon is also reflected in the game. In some waters, players can catch Magikarp of level 60 or 70. If we follow the Pokémon evolution setting in the game, it should have evolved into Gyarados long ago.

Getting back to the main point, when Carl realized that New Leaf Cat's current development had long exceeded the standard for evolution under normal circumstances, he realized that New Leaf Cat needed a sufficiently intense battle to prompt it to complete its evolution.

New Leaf Cat raised all four paws in agreement with Carl's proposal.

After such a long period of training with Serperior, New Leafy has already undergone a complete transformation.

Unfortunately, the Pokémon on the farm are either too powerful, too weak, or don't like to battle, so Newleafy doesn't have an accurate understanding of its own strength.

Carl's suggestion gave Xin Ye Miao a chance to get to know herself, and Xin Ye Miao was naturally full of anticipation for the afternoon's itinerary.

As for the Serpent Lord? It naturally participated in this training as Karl's bodyguard and the new Leaf Cat's master.

Well, Serperior naturally had its own ulterior motives; it didn't want its trainer to be with this silly cat that was always trying to seduce people.

After all, according to his own trainer's habits, he would not release a powerful partner as a bodyguard unless he was in danger.

New Leaf Cat was unaware of Serperior's little scheme and was very happy about Serperior's addition.

After all, Xin Ye Miao also wanted to perform well in front of her master and let her master know that she had not let her down.

When Carl brought the Serpent Lord and Newleaf Cat to the wilderness of the South Fourth District, he began to instruct Newleaf Cat to guard the surroundings.

As a Grass-type Pokémon, Leafeon can detect its surroundings by observing Grass-type energy in the environment, which is also the first skill Serperior taught Leafeon.

As the two Pokémon ventured deeper into the wild, they encountered a perfect Pokémon to train their new Leafeon—Tryllium.

Chapter 140 Evolution! The Clingy Tire Meow~

Wild jellyfish, wood ear mushroom Pokémon.

According to the Pokédex, this Pokémon lives in damp forests, and the thin flakes that shed from its body are chewy and delicious. Although its legs look very thin, it can run at speeds of up to 50 kilometers per hour.

Although the Field Jellyfish looks very similar to the Agate Jellyfish, they are completely different Pokémon.

Compared to the agate jellyfish, the field jellyfish is more like a plant than an animal, which is why it is called the wood ear Pokémon.

Tentacruel possesses a unique ability—Mycelium Power. Users of this ability are slower when using status moves, but they are also able to ignore the opponent's ability restrictions.

For example, when a Tentacruel uses a status move against a Pokémon with the Magic Mirror ability, it will not be affected by the Magic Mirror ability.

Upon encountering the Wild Jellyfish, New Leaf Cat immediately became excited. It roared at the Wild Jellyfish and then lowered its body to enter battle mode.

"New Leaf Cat, aim at the Wild Jellyfish and use the leaf." Karl raised his hand and began to command.

Compared to the Pokémon that have been with Carl for a long time, the synergy between Neoleaf and Carl is not as good. Therefore, Carl tries to use more detailed instructions when giving commands.

Upon hearing Karl's command, New Leaf Cat immediately activated the grass-attribute energy within its body, which quickly condensed into leaves around it and shot towards the Wild Jellyfish.

On the other side, the Wild Jellyfish had already noticed Carl and the two Pokémon. The moment it saw Leafeon attacking it, it immediately jumped to the side, trying to dodge Leafeon's attack.

Although the new Leafeon has been trained by Serperior, its mastery of skills is not very high, but it is enough to deal with wild Pokémon.

As leaves fell on her, the Wild Jellyfish cried out in pain, then glared angrily at New Leaf Cat.

The next moment, a pale purple poisonous mist surged out from beneath the Wild Jellyfish's body, heading towards the direction where New Leaf Cat was.

Poison Powder is a Poison-type status move that inflicts poison on the opponent it hits.

Poison Powder is extremely deadly to Newleaf Cat, which is a single Grass-type Poison Powder. Therefore, after seeing this, Carl immediately gave Newleaf Cat a new command: "Newleaf Cat, use Quick Attack to retreat."

"Meow! (Understood!)" With a powerful push from its two front legs, and as Normal-type energy emanated from its body, the entire Meowth Pokémon immediately retreated a considerable distance.

As the purple mist representing poison powder dissipated into the air, the jellyfish realized that it was probably no match for the Pokémon in front of it.

So, after a long three seconds of deep thought, the jellyfish decided to run away.

Carl raised an eyebrow. Seeing the hesitant look on the Wild Jellyfish's face, he knew that the other party was probably trying to run away. So he immediately gave the command to New Leaf Cat: "New Leaf Cat, use Grass to approach the Wild Jellyfish, then use Seed Machine Gun!"

Upon hearing this, Newleaf Cat immediately crouched down, almost lying on the grass. Then, green grass-type energy appeared on its body surface, and it suddenly darted towards the Wild Jellyfish at an astonishing speed.

With the speed boost provided by the drafting, New Leaf Cat didn't need Karl's command. It fired seeds made of grass-type energy at the Wild Jellyfish while easily dodging the mud chunks thrown by the Wild Jellyfish's Mud Shot.

Because of the presence of the seed machine gun, the wild jellyfish is unable to utilize its excellent escape ability.

Just as the Wild Jellyfish was about to fight New Leaf Cat to the death, Karl's command came again: "New Leaf Cat, cleave!"

New Leaf Cat raised its little paw, and energy gushed out from it. It slashed down hard, taking away the remaining strength of the Wild Jellyfish.

"Well done, Newleaf Meow." Carl praised as he took out a healing spray from his backpack to treat the Wild Jellyfish that Newleaf Meow had defeated.

Xin Ye Miao meowed smugly, "Meow~ (It's alright, I didn't even use my full strength~)"

"That's great too." After treating the Wild Jellyfish, Carl took out a Peach Fruit from his backpack and placed it next to the Wild Jellyfish. Then he stood up and, with the eager New Leaf Cat and the awkward-looking Serpent, continued to search for New Leaf Cat's next opponent.

As the battle continued, under Karl's control, the opponents that Xin Ye Miao had to face became stronger and stronger, which gradually made Xin Ye Miao feel somewhat exhausted.

Just after New Leaf Cat defeated Padia "Kamiratsu" - the Fierce Leg Locust, its body began to glow with a dazzling white light.

"They're here!" Karl said, his voice slightly excited as he looked at the unusual behavior of New Leaf Cat.

The Light of Evolution, as the name suggests, is a special phenomenon that only occurs when a Pokémon evolves.

For ordinary Pokémon, evolution is an instinct etched into their DNA, and only a very few Pokémon will give up the opportunity to evolve for certain special reasons.

As the light of evolution completely enveloped New Leaf Cat, its petite body began to slowly elongate and deform like clay, transforming from its original four-legged stance to a human-like upright posture.

After about three breaths, the light of evolution gradually began to recede, and a small cat standing on two legs, with most of its body covered in light green fur, appeared in front of Karl and the Monarch Serpent.

Tireymeow, a grass cat Pokémon, is exceptionally intelligent and dexterous. The flower bud on its neck is attached to the tip of a long vine, and it is adept at manipulating the vine to make the hard flower bud hit its opponent.

The stiffness of Tire Cat's fur changes depending on its mood. When it enters battle mode, it becomes as sharp as needles, which is the true "hissing" state.

"Meow! (I did it!)" The moment Tire Meow finished evolving, it pounced into Karl's arms, its paws tightly wrapped around Karl's neck, and it buried its head in the crook of Karl's neck and took a deep breath.

"Congratulations, New Leaf Meow, no, I should call you Tire Meow now." After Tire Meow jumped into his arms, Karl naturally hugged it back. "I hope you will guide me in the future."

Seeing this, Serperior felt its entire Pokémon was in trouble.

Although Serperior was pleased that Leafy Meow had evolved into Tiree, it also thought of a very important question—this silly cat dared to do this in front of it now, so what about in the future?

As a master of balancing things, Karl naturally wouldn't forget about Serperior. After holding Tiree for a while, he put it on the ground and turned to Serperior, saying, "Serperior, thanks to your guidance, Newleaf was able to evolve in such a short time."

"Garoo~ (You know that~)" Serpent snorted and turned its head away, but the next moment, Tiree Cat pounced again, hanging on Serpent's body.

"Meow~ (Master, thank you for your teaching~)"

"Garro! (Don't get so close to me, it's hot!)"

"Meow~ (No, Master~)"

Chapter 141 The Crow Team in Action

"Hmm, what time is it?"

Carl woke up from his sleep and reached for his phone on the bedside table. Then he realized that his body seemed to be "tied up" by a restless Pokémon.

Carl looked down and saw that the Serperior Pokémon was wrapped around his body, making it difficult for him to move.

Seeing this, Karl smiled helplessly, reached out and touched the slender body of the Monarch Serpent, then stared blankly at the ceiling in front of him.

About ten minutes later, Karl felt the restraints on his body loosen, and he knew that the Monarch Serpent had woken up.

However, the Serpent Lord seemed to have noticed Karl's gaze; it kept its eyes closed and pretended to be asleep.

Carl knew that if he punctured the Monarch Serpent at this moment, it would surely enrage it, so he could only quietly free himself from the Monarch Serpent's coils and try to keep his footsteps down as he left the bedroom.

The moment the bedroom door closed, the Monarch Serpent suddenly opened its crimson eyes.

At this moment, the Monarch Serpent was fully conscious. Recalling the memory of waking up and finding itself wrapped around Karl, it subconsciously twisted its body.

"Meow? (Master, what's wrong with you?)"

On the other side of the bed, Tirey, who had been awakened by the movements of Serpent, looked at the Serpent, who was almost petrified, with a puzzled expression.

Tire Cat remembers that last night when it clung to Karl to sleep together, the Monarch Snake seemed "reluctant" to get into Karl's bed with it.

Why has Master become like this? Has something happened that I don't know about?

Because of what he discovered upon waking up, Serpent Lord hadn't noticed Tire Cat's presence.

After realizing that Tirey might have seen it wriggling on the bed, the Serpent Lord began to think about where to "bury" Tirey.

Of course, that's a joke. Serperior won't do that; it will just "take good care" of the newly evolved Tirecat during training today.

After all, as Tire Cat's master, Serperior has unlimited power in training Tire Cat.

Meanwhile, after finishing breakfast, Carl went out of his room as usual to inspect the farm.

Just then, the massive body of the Steel Raven descended from the sky and landed in front of Karl.

"Caw—(Good morning, Karl.)" Corviknight brought its head close to Karl's face, looking at him expectantly.

Karl reached out and touched the Corviknight's body, which was covered with feathers harder than steel, and then asked, "Corviknight, what do you need me for?"

Upon hearing Carl's words, the Corviknight immediately raised its head and exclaimed, "Caw! (I have subdued the Corviknight population around the farm and become the Corviknight King!)"

"So fast?" Karl was taken aback at first, then praised, "Steel Crow, you're amazing! I knew I hadn't misjudged you!"

After being praised by Karl, Corviknight held its head even higher, looking quite arrogant.

“So, have you spoken to the Steel Ravens about the farm?” Carl continued.

Upon hearing this, the Corviknight nodded and then began to tell Carl about the specific process of how it subdued the wild Corviknight clan.

First of all, Corviknight, as one of Carl's main Pokémon, is far too weak to compete for the leadership of the Corviknight clan.

However, to become a leader of a tribe, one must not only have the fighting power to protect the tribe, but also lead the tribe to a better life.

For the latter, Corviknight's approach is to offer empty promises, a promise that is both tempting and delicious.

Of course, Corviknight couldn't come up with this idea, but it doesn't matter that Corviknight isn't smart. Just find a smart Pokémon to give it some advice.

Corviknight then sought out Metagross, which had once "lured" hundreds of wild Pokémon to work on its farm, and asked it for advice on this matter.

Metagross, being the smartest Pokémon on the entire farm, was very pleased that Corviknight had asked it for help.

In fact, Metagross was present when Carl proposed the "King of Corviknights" plan to Corviknight.

Therefore, Metagross had already prepared a countermeasure and was just waiting for Corviknight to come to its door.

After a series of conversations, the two Pokémon hit it off immediately. Metagross was responsible for designing the action plan, while Corviknight was responsible for carrying out the specific actions.

With Metagross's help, Corviknight captured and integrated the Corviknight population around the farm yesterday, and named the new Corviknight population "Steel Wings".

Most importantly, after Corviknight became the leader of the "Steelwing" group, it immediately issued its first order to the Corviknight group: "Protect the farm from being invaded by other Pokémon."

The "invasion" here mainly refers to preventing wild Pokémon from entering the farm to steal food. In return, Corviknight will provide a certain amount of food for the Corviknight population every day.

Carl did not object to this, or rather, this was Carl's original intention in wanting the Corviknights to unify the Corviknight populations around the farm.

After explaining the general situation to Carl, Steelraven invited Carl to come with it to see the current situation of the "Steelwing" clan.

Carl naturally wouldn't refuse the Armored Raven's invitation. So, after Carl climbed onto the Armored Raven's back and settled in, the Armored Raven immediately flapped its wings and flew into the sky, heading towards the Armored Raven's current habitat.

About five minutes later, the Corviknight carrying Karl landed in a relatively open woodland.

Carl spotted the flock of Steel-armored Ravens from a great distance. The young tits, blue ravens, and Steel-armored Ravens perched on the branches immediately gathered around when they saw their leader returning with a person on his back.

With Karl's arrival, the Steel Raven flock immediately became noisy. Although Karl couldn't understand what they were saying, looking at their curious eyes, he could roughly understand that they were curious about him.

Just then, Corviknight shook its feathers, and the forest fell silent. Then it introduced Carl's identity to the Pokémon.

When these Pokémon learned that Carl was the trainer of Corviknight and the true owner of the farm, they couldn't help but look at him with a touch of respect.
