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

Upon noticing Kyurem's gaze, Reshiram immediately realized what was happening: 'So that's how it is. No wonder you chose this human as your hero.'

Carl listened quietly as the two legendary Pokémon conversed in this spiritual space. Although he had not yet figured out what the "power of the intersection of truth and ideal" was, he could draw a conclusion from their conversation alone—this power was probably related to the "original dragon".

After concluding his conversation with Kyurem, Reshiram turned his gaze to Karl: 'Since it is so, my hero, I shall serve you. Show me your true self.'

Karl was taken aback by what he heard. In fact, he was only interested in Reshiram himself. As for the struggle between "reality" and "ideal", it was meaningless in his eyes as a transmigrator.

After all, any "ideal" can become "reality" if he wants to, which may be the reason why he possesses the "power of the intersection of reality and ideals".

While Karl was still in a daze, Reshiram lowered its head, which was as noble as a white wolf, and came close to Karl.

Karl instinctively raised his hand to touch Reshiram, who was standing close at hand. A loud dragon roar echoed throughout the spiritual space, and Reshiram officially formed a contract with Karl.

As a "True Dragon," Reshiram gained the ability to possess Carl after forming a contract with the hero. The greatest advantage of this ability is that it doesn't have to hide in a Poké Ball like other Pokémon.

When Karl needs Reshiram's help, Reshiram can simply appear beside Karl with a thought.

After Karl left that mental space, a white round stone with three semi-circular notches appeared in his hand without him noticing.

Karl knew that the white stone that had suddenly appeared in his hand was a fragment left over from the destruction of Reshiram's body, and that Reshiram's soul resided within it.

Although Reshiram has formed a hero's contract with Karl, it will still take a long time for it to return to its former glory.

During this recovery period, Reshiram can also manifest a physical body through the Lightstone if Karl needs it, but in Reshiram's view, with Kyurem present, it only needs to focus on recovering its strength.

……

As the crew's announcement echoed through the cabin, Karl opened his eyes, gazing at the familiar million-volt nightscape outside the window. Reshiram's somewhat wistful voice resonated within him: 'I never imagined human society had developed to this extent.'

During this long flight, Karl dozed off while mentally introducing modern human society to Reshiram and Kyurem.

When Reshiram learned that the "iron bird" Karl was riding was actually a human creation with the ability to fly across continents, it developed a deep curiosity about modern human society.

In fact, Reshiram, which represents "truth", is one of the more open-minded legendary Pokémon. It does not look down on humans just because it has the power to destroy the world.

On the contrary, Reshiram was well aware of the terrifying potential of the seemingly weak human race.

'Is this the race He loves?' Rehiram thought to himself.

Kyurem, on the other hand, is at the other extreme. It is completely indifferent to everything in human society. The only reason it listens to Karl's story is because it doesn't want Karl to get into trouble because of itself.

After a jolt, the plane landed. About five minutes later, after the plane came to a complete stop, Karl, carrying a backpack, was the first to walk out of the cabin.

After walking along the passage to the terminal, Karl couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. He saw President Ye Ci wearing sunglasses and a dark blue casual outfit, standing not far from the exit with a cup of coffee in his hand.

"President Yeci, what brings you here?" Karl quickly approached Yeci and asked with some curiosity, "Has the Alliance finally gotten some free time?"

"I suppose so." Ye Ci's expression became somewhat subtle after hearing Karl's question. "I heard from Claver that this exchange competition was terminated for some reason, but he didn't know the specific reason, so I had to come and ask you, the participant, myself."

Well, Karl could tell from Yeci's expression that the woman in front of him was probably sneaking out to fish, but he didn't intend to expose her. After all, Yeci was "the only sun of the Padia Alliance," and he was willing to give her some face.

“This isn’t something we can discuss in public.” Karl looked around and said to Yeci, “How about we find a quieter place?”

“No problem.” Ye Ci naturally understood this principle. “Go and tell Teacher XX (the student life teacher), and then come with me.”

"Ok."

……

Ten minutes later, Karl, led by Yeci, arrived at a private room in a high-end restaurant in Niangguang City.

After the two finished ordering, the waiter immediately left the private room, and Karl began to tell Yeci about his experience during the exchange activity.

"You mean, you caught the legendary Pokémon from the founding of the Unova region?"

Chapter 169 Cattleya: Hey, good idea!

Although Ye Ci had anticipated the reason for the termination of the exchange competition, after all, the fact that Xi Lan was able to directly evacuate the students meant that something major had happened to the United Alliance.

But Ci never expected that this accident would be related to a legendary Pokémon.

What shocked Ye Ci even more was that it was Carl who caught the attention of that legendary Pokémon.

However, considering that Carl possessed such strength at such a young age, he must have some extraordinary abilities. Thinking about it this way, it seems quite reasonable that Carl could attract the attention of a legendary Pokémon...

Well, actually, Ci didn't think it made any sense at all, but the facts were right in front of her, and she had no choice but to believe them.

After calming down, Ye Ci suddenly felt that Karl catching a legendary Pokémon wasn't such a bad thing. In case something unexpected happened in the Padia Crater in the future, having a legendary Pokémon to protect the area should minimize the losses.

Although Ye Ci had to pay Karl an "appearance fee" every time she asked him to help, compared to the potential crisis, that expense was nothing to Ye Ci.

However, after Karl told Yeci about Reshiram's existence, Yeci was indeed a little dumbfounded.

'Is this guy some kind of chosen one from a third-rate novel? He can bring back two legendary Pokémon just by going out?' Ye Ci thought to himself.

Karl's decision to inform Yeci about the existence of Kyurem and Reshiram was, of course, based on his own considerations.

Although Carl is not afraid of any threat from the Padia League, even if Carl clashes with the Padia League in the future, the worst-case scenario for him is simply returning to Sinnoh.

However, Karl always maintained a "harmony is paramount" attitude when interacting with people. He informed Yeci of the existence of Kyurem and Reshiram, not only to inform him in advance but also to intimidate Yeci.

After all, he couldn't keep Kyurem and Reshiram hidden forever; they would eventually have to be revealed. So why didn't he expose them from the beginning?

The fact that Yeci was able to serve as the president of the Padia Alliance proves that she is a smart person. She also knows very well that Karl's ability to tell her about the existence of Kyurem and Reshiram proves that Karl has a solid foundation.

Yeci, unlike the villains in third-rate novels, wouldn't just grab anything she sees. Her only goal right now is to develop the Padia Alliance. As long as that bottom line is crossed, she won't care even if Karl subdues Arceus.

After recounting his experience of this exchange activity, Karl naturally suggested to Yeci that they establish the "Orange Alliance".

“This is indeed a good way to improve trainers’ skills.” After listening to Karl’s explanation, Ye Ci pondered for a moment before continuing, “Although I had a general understanding of this system before, the battle atmosphere in Orange Academy was not strong at the time, and for various other reasons, I did not pay attention to the follow-up matters.”

Upon hearing this, Karl nodded knowingly. As far as he knew, although Orange Academy had a long history, the course on combat studies had only been offered for a little over a decade.

Orange Academy, as a comprehensive institution, is unlike Blueberry Academy, which from the beginning aimed to cultivate powerful trainers.

Since the fall of the ancient Padmati Empire, no major events have occurred in the Padmati region, which has resulted in a less "martial" social atmosphere compared to other regions.

However, with the establishment of the Pokémon League, this weakness has become more apparent.

After Yeci successfully rose to the position of champion of the Padia region and chairman of the league, she began to focus on the cultivation of talent, or more precisely, the cultivation of trainer talent.

However, the atmosphere for battle needs to be cultivated, and even though Ye Ci's power and martial prowess are unparalleled in the Padiya region, she cannot change all of this in a short period of time.

“I will instruct Claver to conduct research on this matter.” Ye Ci’s fingers tapped unconsciously on the table. “If the environment within the academy allows, I will fully support this plan.”

Carl supported Yeci's approach, after all, establishing the "Orange League" was not a decision that could be made on a whim. If most students in Orange Academy were not interested in Pokémon battles, there was no need to establish the "Orange League" at all.

After discussing this matter, Karl changed the subject and said, "President Yeci, now that I've returned to Padia, you should fulfill the promise you made to me as soon as possible."

“No problem.” Ye Ci naturally wouldn’t forget to pay Karl his “appearance fee.” “I have already prepared the tree seedlings you need. As for your application to enter the Padia Pit, it will be approved in a while.”

For Yeci, who controls the entire Padia Alliance, a few tree seedlings are nothing. Although the application to enter the Padia Pit requires following the proper procedures, it is only a matter of time before Karl's application is approved.

"However, you'll still need to participate in the next exchange event," Ye Ci reminded her. "After all, this exchange match has been postponed to the next one, not to another exchange match."

"Of course, I won't renege on my debt."

After finishing dinner, Yeci got up to say goodbye, and Carl, after saying goodbye to Yeci, also prepared to return to the farm.

Carl originally planned to ride the fire-breathing dragon back to the farm, but Kyurem suddenly suggested to Carl that he wanted to see the Padia region.

Karl naturally wouldn't refuse Kyurem's offer, after all, this was the Padia region, and Team Plasma's reach couldn't extend here.

When the Kyurem appeared on the "tarmac," its massive, grey-blue body immediately attracted the attention of all the passengers around it.

Even though Kyurem had deliberately suppressed its aura, the surrounding flying Pokémon were still stunned by the oppressive feeling emanating from it after sensing its presence.

Amidst the envious and curious gazes of the passengers, Karl rode his Kyurem and disappeared into the clouds.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the planet, Cattleya also received a research report from her butler, Shilan.

"Hmm... So only the Unova and Paradis regions are missing their Elite Four members?" Cattleya stared at the report, lost in thought. "If I remember correctly, Cynthia went on a trip to Paradis last time, didn't she?"

"Yes, Miss," Shi Lan replied calmly.

“Hmph, in that case, let’s go to the Padiya region first.” Cattleya made a decision immediately. “Let me see what’s in the Padiya region that can attract Orchid.”

"Ahem, Miss," Shi Lan said, having to intervene, "If you want to know about the Padia region, why don't you call and ask Miss Zhu Lan?"

"Hey!" Cattleya's eyes lit up. "Great idea!"

"Hey, Zhulan, it's me, Gadriya."

"I wanted to ask about your trip to the Parthian region last time..."

Chapter 170 Summer Planning

The next day, early in the morning.

Carl opened his eyes, stared blankly at the familiar ceiling for a while, and then remembered that he was back on his own farm.

Recalling the "farce" that happened when he returned to the farm last night, Carl couldn't help but smile.

When Karl rode Kyurem back to the farm last night, Martial Arts Bear Master immediately sensed Kyurem's terrifying aura.

To prevent the farm from being invaded, the Martial Arts Bear Master rushed towards Kyurem's location, intending to intercept him outside the farm.

Fortunately, Carl recognized the Martial Ursa immediately and stopped it. Otherwise, if the Martial Ursa and Kyurem had started fighting outside the farm, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

After reminiscing, Carl gently moved the sleeping Espeon, which was nestled on his chest, to his pillow. He then tiptoed to the bathroom to wash up before leisurely making his way to the restaurant on the first floor.

Having not seen him for several days, Master Xiong prepared an exceptionally lavish breakfast for Karl.

Carl first took a big gulp of the iced soy milk that he had just made that morning, then picked up a thin-skinned, translucent crystal shrimp dumpling with his chopsticks and put it in his mouth to chew. The shrimp meat was bouncy and sweet, very delicious.

Next, Carl sampled a variety of breakfast dishes, including steamed siu mai, taro dumplings, and char siu pastries, which he thoroughly enjoyed.

After finishing the hearty breakfast, Carl began his usual inspection of the farm, but this time he brought his Metagross with him.

As the farm's head steward, Metagross managed the farm impeccably during Carl's absence, with the help of the martial arts master Ursa who remained on the farm.

With summer approaching, Carl plans to discuss the farm's future development plans with Metagross while inspecting the farm.

With Metagross in tow, Carl first arrived at the farm's agricultural area. Although it was still early, his riding sheep had already arrived and were releasing grass to "fertilize" the crops on the farm.

Seeing this, Carl subconsciously turned his head to look at the Metagross beside him.

“Gengjin. (This is not what I requested.)” Metagross noticed Karl’s gaze and immediately replied.

“I haven’t asked anything yet.” Carl raised an eyebrow, looking “wronged.” “Metamorphoses, why do you think so badly of me!”

Seeing Carl's pitiful expression, Metagross practically rolled its eyes to the sky: "Gengjin. (I was just explaining.)"

“I believe you.” Karl nodded and answered earnestly, then strode toward the nearest lamb he was riding.

As Karl entered the area of ​​effect of the grassy field, the little lamb immediately noticed his presence. While maintaining the grassy field, it quickly trotted towards Karl.

"Baa~ (Karl, you're back~)" The little sheep rubbed its head against Karl's hand as it came to him.

"I just got home last night." Carl looked at his adorable little lamb and couldn't help but pat its little horns.

Although the little lamb has not yet evolved into a mountain goat, and its horns do not yet have the full ability to sense the other person's feelings, the little lamb can still vaguely sense Karl's goodwill.

So the little lamb, acting all cute, stretched its head into Karl's hand, looking like it wanted to be petted.

Karl was powerless against his ram's adorable antics, and he skillfully massaged the ram's entire body.

The little lamb, riding on Karl's skillful massage techniques, bleated contentedly.

During his inspection of the farmland, Carl chatted with Metagross about summer planting plans.

First, regarding basic crops, Carl plans to grow four crops: wheat, tomatoes, radishes, and cabbage, because these four crops have a wide range of culinary uses.

Tomatoes, in particular, are the most consumed crop in the summer for the Parthians who love sandwiches.

Next, regarding cash crops, Carl first thought of three crops: watermelon, grapes, and hops.

However, thanks to Metagross's reminder, Carl learned that harvesting and storing hops is very troublesome, and the farm currently does not have mature brewing technology.

If he were to simply sell hops, he could only rely on low profit margins and high sales volume, so Carl had to temporarily abandon the idea of ​​growing hops.

On the way to the ranch area, Carl chatted with Metagross about issues related to farm infrastructure.

Although the farm is able to consistently produce high-quality crops thanks to the Monarch Serpent, Carl's farm is still in its early stages.

The most direct evidence of this is that the farm doesn't even have proper roads yet.

Although the dirt roads left over from the farm are still sufficient, since the farm currently has ample funds, Carl will not hesitate to invest the money in infrastructure.

Besides roads, the farm also urgently needs to build proper warehouses. The current warehouses for storing supplies on the farm were "grown" by Serperior using grass-type energy.

Although the warehouses created by the Serpent Lord are very sturdy, they can only store crops for a short period of time.

In addition to the two points mentioned above, Karl also needs to build a dwelling for Kyurem, which can also serve as a cold storage for the farm.

However, Carl didn't know much about this, so he could only communicate with "Hall of Construction" before making any plans.

“Gengjin. (Karl, you also need to consider the summer climate.)” Metagross reminded him after listening to Karl’s plan.
