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

"Hmm? Tell me more?" Carl tilted his head, not understanding why Metagross would bring up the climate issue.

Meeting Carl's questioning gaze, Metagross began to explain what it knew to Carl.

Since Carl's farm is located in the southern part of Padia, the temperature here will continue to rise with the arrival of summer. Since the Moogle and Miltank are not adapted to the high temperature, it is necessary to consider in advance how to prevent Pokémon from suffering from heatstroke.

Moreover, according to information that Metagross found online, typhoons frequently hit the southern part of the Padia region during the summer, and since Little Key is adjacent to the South Padia Sea, the threat of typhoons is even greater.

Carl frowned upon hearing this, then slowly relaxed his brow: "Typhoons shouldn't be a problem for our farm."

Metagross paused in its advance after hearing Karl's words. Then it remembered the aura it had sensed the night before and understood the source of Karl's confidence in saying those words.

Carl thought the typhoon wasn't a problem because he had "borrowed" Kyurem, the legendary Pokémon from the Unova region, from the farm.

As a legendary Pokémon, Kyurem may not be able to directly dispel typhoons, but protecting the farm should not be a problem.

At the same time, Kyurem, who was resting in his Poké Ball, suddenly shuddered.

'Hmm? Who's after me?'

Chapter 171 Karl: Hmm? Cattleya is coming to Padia to become the Queen?

When Carl brought Metagross to the ranch area, he immediately spotted the giant milk tanks "rolling" freely in the farm area.

These few Milk Tanks that Carl bought from Xiaoxi's Milk Tank Farm had already developed the good habit of rolling around every day under Xiaoxi's guidance back in the Milk Tank Farm.

Most Miltank Pokémon are kept on farms as economical Pokémon.

If they don't have a habit of exercising, their health will be affected.

Of course, the amount of exercise for these large milk tanks still needs to be controlled within a certain range. After all, if they exercise too much, their mood will also worsen, which will affect the quality of the fresh milk they produce.

Upon noticing Carl's arrival, the "leader's" large milk can immediately changed direction and rolled towards Carl.

Upon reaching Karl, the giant milk tanks stopped rolling and gathered around him, starting to fawn over him.

Because of Karl's previously demonstrated superb massage skills, these big milk tanks eagerly awaited Karl's arrival every day.

Carl also knew that during the days he was away, these big milk tanks missed his massages very much.

However, since he was setting off this afternoon to find the secret seasoning, Carl could only massage two of the large milk tanks. But he promised to massage the remaining three large milk tanks tomorrow.

After selecting the two "lucky ones" to receive a massage by drawing lots, Carl began massaging them.

Half an hour later, Carl rubbed his aching forearm as he walked out of the ranch area, leading Metagross toward the location of "Little Pot Lake".

Time quickly came to 11 a.m., and Carl, having finished inspecting the farm, returned to the farmhouse with Metagross and the five little creatures sitting on its head.

When Carl arrived at the clearing in front of the farmhouse, he used the "Power of Bonds" to speak to Kyurem: 'Kyurem, would you like to formally meet everyone on the farm?'

Although Kyurem's arrival last night attracted the attention of all the Pokémon on the farm, it has not yet officially met the Pokémon on the farm.

"Yes," Kyurem said.

After obtaining Kyurem's consent, Karl took out the deluxe ball containing Kyurem and pressed the button on its surface.

With a flash of white light, Kyurem's massive and imposing body appeared in the open space.

The five little creatures sitting on Metagross's head shrank back in unison upon seeing Kyurem, clearly frightened by its terrifying aura.

At this moment, Kyurem also noticed the five little guys sitting on Metagross's head, and nodded slightly to them as a greeting.

After noticing Kyurem's actions, the five little creatures seemed to realize that Kyurem's personality wasn't as terrifying as it appeared, and they all began to look at Kyurem with curious eyes.

The Metagross, carrying the five little creatures, had its super brain working at lightning speed the moment Kyurem appeared.

No matter how many tactics Metagross simulated in its mind, it could only get one result—it couldn't win.

Carl noticed a hint of surprise in Metagross's gaze as it looked at Kyurem, so he smiled and introduced it, "Metagross, this is Kyurem, the legendary Pokémon of the Unova region, and our new partner."

Upon hearing Carl's introduction, Metagross immediately retrieved information about legendary Pokémon from the Unova region from its brain's database.

Unfortunately, there are almost no records of Kyurem in the legends of the Unova region.

However, Kyurem appears in both the founding legends of the Unova region and the legends of the Holy Swordsmen.

Metagross also gleaned the power of Kyurem from those fragmented documents.

So the two Pokémon, whose personalities were somewhat similar, looked at each other and realized from each other's eyes that the other seemed to be a Pokémon of the same type as themselves.

To welcome Kyurem's arrival, Master Bear started preparing lunch early in the morning.

During his morning inspection, Carl informed all the Pokémon on the farm that there would be a big lunch, and he even had Corviknight extend an invitation to its underlings.

As time passed, lunchtime soon arrived, and all the Pokémon currently on the farm gathered in the open space in front of the farmhouse.

Before the banquet began, Carl introduced Kyurem, this "big guy," to the Pokémon on the farm.

Although Kyurem's imposing presence was intimidating, its gentle demeanor earned it the initial trust of the larger creatures.

As the banquet began, Kyurem also began to savor the delicacies specially prepared for him by his bear master.

Meanwhile, Reshiram, unable to manifest its physical form for long, complained to Carl in a sour tone: 'My hero, why don't you introduce me to these Pokémon?'

"Isn't it because Reshiram hasn't been able to manifest a physical body yet?" Karl chuckled reassuringly. "The day you truly manifest a physical body, I'll throw you a welcome banquet."

"I hope so," Rahiram said.

After lunch, Karl planned to take a short nap before setting off to search for the whereabouts of the Lord of the Sky.

Just then, accompanied by a cheerful piano melody, the Rotom cell phone floated in front of Carl.

Carl picked up his phone and exclaimed, "Huh? Why is Zhu Lan calling me at this time?"

As the call was answered, Zhu Lan's voice came through the receiver: "Hello, Carl, is it a convenient time for you to talk now?"

"Convenient, I just finished lunch." Carl paused, then asked with some curiosity, "Why does our Sinnoh League's champion have time to call me?"

"It's because of Lia, um, Cattleya, you should have heard of that name, right?" Zhu Lan said with some uncertainty.

"Cattleya?"

The moment Karl heard the name, an image immediately flashed into his mind of a girl with a huge hat and life-sized blonde hair.

“Of course, I heard about her when I went to challenge the Battle Frontier.” Karl thought for a moment and added, “Although she doesn’t show herself often, she seems to be the true owner of the Battle Castle, right?”

“That’s right, for certain reasons, Leah rarely meets with outsiders.” Zhu Lan paused for a moment, “But Karl, you may be meeting her soon.”

"what?"

As a time traveler, Karl naturally knew that Gadriya didn't show herself often because she couldn't control her superpowers well.

However, Karl didn't understand why Cynthia would say that she would be meeting Cattleya soon. Did Cattleya mean that she was coming to Padia?

Cynthia heard the surprise in Karl's voice and chuckled as she said, "Lia wanted to become one of the Elite Four in Sinnoh before, but she missed the opportunity, so she wants to go to other regions to serve as an Elite Four member to prove herself."

"...?"

Chapter 172 The Butterfly Effect?

Carl truly hadn't expected that Cattleya, the future Elite Four member of the Unova region, would want to come to the Padia region to become one of the Elite Four.

Although Karl knew little about the current situation of the Padian League, he believed that Popi should not have been invited to become the king of Padia yet.

If Gadriya were to actually come to the Padia region and apply to become one of the Four Heavenly Kings, based on Karl's understanding of the "One Sun of Padia," she would absolutely not refuse Gadriya's application.

"So, Zhulan, you called me about this?" Karl asked Zhulan on the other end of the phone, snapping out of his reverie.

“Yes.” Zhu Lan sighed first, then continued, “I remember, Karl, you should know the champion of the Padia League, right?”

“That’s right.” Karl thought for a moment, then added, “I have a good relationship with her. Are you asking me to recommend Cattleya?”

“No, I just wanted to ask you about the current state of the Padia Alliance.” Zhu Lan raised her hand and twirled a strand of blonde hair behind her ear. “You know, Leah isn’t very good at communicating with people, so…”

"I understand."

Although Zhu Lan didn't say the rest of her words aloud, Karl understood what she meant.

In Carl's memory, Cattleya seemed unable to control her superpowers well at this point in time. If she were stimulated by external factors, her superpowers would likely go out of control.

Even if we assume that Cattleya's superpowers are under control, given her personality, she'd probably be in big trouble if she encountered something that upset her.

“Well… how should I put it, as you probably know, the Padia Alliance has only been established for about thirty or forty years, and it can be said that the Padia Alliance is currently in a period of growth.” After sorting out his thoughts, Karl continued, “I estimate that for a long time to come, the Padia Alliance will be in a state of manpower shortage. If Miss Cattleya is to come to the Padia region to serve as one of the Four Heavenly Kings, then she will be extremely busy.”

After listening to Karl's words, Zhulan also gained a general understanding of the current situation of the Padia League.

Overall, the Padiya League doesn't have as much backstabbing and scheming, but there's a lot of daily work involved.

“Okay, thank you, Carl.” Cynthia’s voice became cheerful. “You’ll probably be going back to Sinnoh for the New Year, right? I’ll treat you to a meal then.”

"No need to thank me. You can find out about this if you just ask around a little." Karl said casually, "As for food and such, we can talk about it when I get back."

"Okay, then I won't bother you any longer."

"Okay, goodbye."

After hanging up the phone, Carl didn't immediately put down Rotom's phone. Instead, he pondered whether to tell Yaji about Cattleya's desire to come to the Padia region to become one of the Four Heavenly Kings.

Carl was conflicted because he had the impression that Cattleya would become one of the Elite Four in the Unova region, but Cynthia's phone call shattered his preconceived notions.

Logically speaking, the reason why Cattleya went to the Unova region to become one of the Elite Four was because the Padia region did not exist in the game's storyline at that time.

But now, Cynthia says that Cattleya wants to come to the Padiya region to become one of the Four Heavenly Kings. It seems that this butterfly has indeed begun to have an impact on the history of this world.

After much deliberation, Karl ultimately decided not to tell Yeci the news he had just received, since whether or not Cattleya could become one of the Four Heavenly Kings of Padia was none of Karl's business.

"Hey, Tire Meow, come and take a nap with me!" Karl said.

……

After their lunch break, Charizard asked Carl for its usual fishing gear, intending to go fishing in the waters near the farm, while Tirion, led by Serperior, headed to the training ground for training.

Carl caught the three little ones trying to sneak out of the farm to play and handed them over to Espeon for "punishment".

After dealing with a series of trivial matters, Karl set off with Kyurem.

In fact, Karl hadn't initially planned to bring Kyurem along, since it was just too conspicuous.

But just as Karl was about to call Corviknight to go out, Kyurem stopped him.

After communicating with Kyurem, Karl learned that although Kyurem has extremely strong abilities, its cellular structure is unstable, so it freezes itself in ultra-low temperatures most of the time.

However, the Kyurem's dwelling has not yet been built on the farm. If the Kyurem freezes itself on the surface, then no plants can be grown on Karl's farm.

According to Kyurem, the "power of the intersection of truth and ideal" within Kael's body can greatly stabilize Kyurem's cellular tissues.

Although Karl didn't understand the underlying principles, since Kyurem had said so, Karl had no choice but to keep it with him for the time being.

Based on the location where the Lower Stonebird was last spotted, Karl rode his Kyurem to the vicinity of the first district of Padias.

In Karl's memory, the Lower Stonebird's nest was located on a high mountain peak, so he instructed Kyurem to search for a higher peak in the vicinity of this area.

An hour later, Carl realized that searching aimlessly like this was too inefficient, so he had Kyurem descend to a lower altitude to search for trainers in the area.

Soon, Kyurem locked onto a candidate, and before Karl could react, it landed in front of the trainer it had found.

"Professor Carl?!"

Karl looked in the direction of the sound and saw Alexstrasza, with long hair, being protected behind his magical masked cat, looking at Karl sitting on Kyurem's back with a bewildered expression.

"Hey, it's Alexstrasza. Are you doing special training in the wild?" Karl said as he jumped off Kyurem's back.

“That’s right, Mr. Carl, what is this?” Alex looked at Kyurem standing behind Carl, a Pokémon he had never seen before.

But just from the aura Kyurem exuded, Alex was certain that it was a powerful Pokémon.

"I wanted to ask you if you noticed anything strange while you were training around here, like Pokémon that like to lose things?"

Upon hearing Karl's question, Alexis was taken aback at first, then he frowned and a thoughtful expression appeared on his face: "Speaking of strange things, I do know one."

"What is it?" Karl asked immediately upon hearing this.

“I heard it from other trainers.” Alex said, raising his hand and pointing in a certain direction. “Go about four kilometers in this direction, there is a small mountain. Rocks often roll down that mountain, and it is easy to get injured if you are not careful.”

The moment Alexis finished speaking, Karl immediately understood that this was the location of the Lord of the Sky he was looking for.

“Thank you, Alexis, this information is very useful to me.” Karl said as he nimbly climbed onto Kyurem’s back.

As Karl was about to leave, Alex gritted his teeth, then mustered his courage and said to Karl, "Teacher Karl, if it's alright, could you please have a coaching match with me after the next class?"

"Sure, no problem at all."

Chapter 173 The First Time I Was Moved

Watching Karl ride away on Kyurem, a hint of envy and longing flickered in Alex's eyes.

In fact, as a student who went to Blueberry Academy for this exchange, Alexis, who watched Karl's battle with Shaka, was very envious of Karl's strength at such a young age.

During the exchange program, Alex fought no fewer than five battles against his older brother, who attended Blueberry Academy, but without exception, Alex lost every single one of them.
