Pokémon, but cultural invasion.

"No wonder it's Ditto. I was just telling you, a human inheriting a farm would be exhausted just from clearing the wasteland."

"Hey streamer, something seems to have exploded on the ground."

On the cleared, level ground, some debris was scattered about.

The strange tree controlled the Ditto to pick them up one by one.

[Summer Mixed Seeds: Byproducts of weeding, a little of each kind, let's see what grows?]

Tree branches: building materials

[Weeds: Building Materials]

Discovering that the bushes could be destroyed, Qishu turned its attention to the trees growing haphazardly in the yard.

After cutting down the tree, she obtained a log, an oak seed, and a cicada molt.

[Cicada molt: The empty shell left behind after the metamorphosis of the armored pupa. It might fetch a good price at the Money-Grubbing Spirit's shop on the neighboring island.]

After teaching the moves, the Scyther sat down cross-legged at the base of the tree.

As the strange tree approached, its introduction panel popped up on the right side of the screen.

[Scyther: Its two scythes are incredibly sharp; the more hard objects it cuts through, the sharper they become. It prefers to stay in shady, grassy areas.]

Special skill: Logging

Pokémon with this ability can process logs into timber.

"Oh no, the more I look at it, the more it resembles a farming game. We've all misunderstood Izumi-ki."

"If one flying praying mantis can process wood, wouldn't ten be even faster? (Thinking)"

"So Pokémon are helping with farming. That makes sense."

After gathering up the clutter, Qishu remembered that the game's promotional materials did indeed mention farming.

She tried burying the mixed seeds in the soil, but failed.

Is it due to a lack of certain conditions?

The shapeshifter pattered into the wooden house.

The log cabin has two floors. The upper floor is empty except for a wooden box; the lower floor is empty except for a fireplace and a wooden bed.

The wooden planks in the basement were long gone, seemingly once used to store harvested crops.

Sunlight streamed in through the drafty ceiling, illuminating a corner of the basement.

A screw-like gopher lay sprawled on the floor, motionless as if unconscious.

When Ditto walked up to it, Screwpod sniffed.

As if it smelled the aroma, Screwpod got up, grabbed a bag of compound seeds from Ditto's back, and began to wolf them down.

A few seconds later it let out a burp.

"Thank you for saving my life, I almost starved to death here."

[Screw Mole: By bringing its claws together and spinning them at high speed, it can move rapidly through the ground.]

Specialty: Excavation

Pokémon with this ability will dig up a variable amount of ore each day.

Upon approaching, Ditto automatically learned the "Farming" skill.

The excited Qishu ran outside the wooden house to test it.

Ditto's hands transformed into steel spirals, and it used both hands to shovel at the clods of earth on the ground.

Grass clippings and mud splattered everywhere, and clods of earth were plowed into furrows.

A square patch of black soil appeared in front of the wooden house, standing out from the surrounding weeds.

This time, add the mixed seeds.

After a crisp shovel sound, short, lush green seedlings appeared on the ground.

Mixed seedlings (immature)

[Estimated ripening time - 3:59:56]

No one can say for sure what color the flower will eventually bloom.

The strange tree used the same trick again, and soon ten identical black soil patches appeared on the grassland, until the mixed seeds were used up.

The neatly arranged farmland makes the overgrown weeds in the backyard all the more conspicuous.

She decided to do a thorough cleaning, during which summer mixed seeds kept falling.

The oddly shaped tree, with its slightly obsessive-compulsive tendencies, planted all the seeds in the soil.

Ten minutes later, the abandoned farm was transformed.

The weeds have been completely cut off, and the black farmland stretches out in large patches. Apart from the immovable stones and old buildings, the farm no longer shows any signs of decay.

"It feels a bit intoxicating."

Qi Shu looked at the vast fields of farmland, and as he got closer, a countdown to the harvest of the crops would appear, filling him with a great sense of accomplishment.

"Host, host, what's the point of planting such a large area of ​​land here instead of advancing the plot?"

"The plot? Isn't this game just about farming?"

"You know what, repairing a dilapidated farm and finding a lost Pokémon is actually quite a feeling."

"By the way, does this game involve planting crops without watering them?"

While admiring the fruits of labor, Qishu was also paying attention to the comments section.

It was indeed strange to farm without watering, but she didn't find any similar watering cans in the wooden house.

Finally, after walking around the beach, I learned how to use a water gun from a Squirtle sunbathing in the sun.

Ditto opened its mouth, and a jet of azure water covered the screen, making the farmland appear even darker.

"Even the watering animation in this game is so unique."

After spending a lot of effort watering the plants, the Tree of Wonders controlled Ditto to begin exploring the surrounding area.

Bulbasaur, which can accelerate plant growth; Machamp, which can carry heavy objects; Constructor, which can repair buildings; and Three Bees, which can make honey.

After learning the skill [Rock Smash], Qishu discovered that not only hard rocks, but also the soil under his feet could be dug out.

Based on the clues from each elf, she built habitats around the farm according to her own understanding.

New buildings are springing up everywhere.

Qi Shu clearly felt that he hadn't done much, but three hours had passed without him realizing it.

"We can't go on like this. There are still many places in the game that we haven't been to, such as the island next door."

The environment around the farm hasn't been fully explored yet, but Qishu wants to show viewers a more comprehensive view of the game within the limited live stream time.

So she returned to the beach, her backpack filled with the harvested crops and the tools she had found.

The neighboring islands are not far apart. After a short rowing animation of about ten seconds, Ditto appears on the bank of a wide river.

Welcome to Pokémon Town!

Following the wooden sign, you can see a small town with a variety of architectural styles and vibrant colors.

At the very front was a general store with a roof inlaid with huge gold coins.

Rows of merchandise shelves were neatly arranged, and behind the counter sat a smiling fortune teller.

Clicking on the shelf in the strange tree allows you to purchase three categories of items: [Crop Seeds], [Miscellaneous Items], and [Tools].

Since it's a farming game, she first checked the seed section.

Summer Recommendations: Blueberries, Corn, Hops, Chili Peppers...

Unsure of the potential profits, Qi Shu planned to buy a little of each item, and she also had her eye on the [Insect Net] and [Fishing Rod].

These are all promotional materials for the game, so naturally they need to be shown to the audience.

After selling the crops and items they had brought, they had just enough money.

Ditto, carrying bags and packages, walked out of the general store and was then drawn to a green-themed building across the street.

The Nanny Bug Tailor Shop

Through the glass display case, you can see all sorts of gorgeous clothes inside.

The nanny bug sat in front of the sewing machine, knitting something with a focused expression.

Qi Shu saw several nice clothes inside, but when he remembered that his pockets were emptier than his face, he immediately felt deflated.

"The tailor shop and the general store are quite well-run by these Pokémon."

"No wonder it's called Pokémon Town; I didn't see a single human there."

"Forget about the town, have any humans appeared in the game's opening sequence?"

Yes, the strange tree was slow to realize its significance.

Where have all the humans gone, who should be the trainers of Pokémon?

Chapter 81 This isn't stealing, it's robbery

Ditto walked down the street and found no trace of humans.

The tavern's entrance, shaped like an ancient tree, is adorned with dim yellow oil lamps.

The sommelier at the front desk was a man named Dazzling, dressed only in a black tuxedo, wiping the wine glasses in his hands.

The tavern is also filled with Pokémon, and it's rather quiet during the day.

Worried about setting a bad example for children watching the live stream, Qishu did not delve deeper.

She explored the town.

The town is not large and its overall layout is relatively simple. What is striking is the variety of buildings with strong architectural styles.

With the corresponding Pokémon shopkeeper, it's hard to forget them after just one look.

As you walk to the end of the town, a somewhat familiar wooden house appears on the screen.

Except for the repaired ceiling, it is almost identical to Qishu's own log cabin.

The farms looked very similar, the difference being that the crops growing in the fields of this farm were far more abundant than hers.

Blueberries shimmering like jewels, bright red peppers, tall and sturdy corn stalks, lush and green radishes...

One glance at the strange tree and you're captivated.

Compared to this farm, her summer mixed seed flower field instantly becomes a ragtag bunch.

"The flower fields, categorized into different types, are a feast for the eyes; they've satisfied my obsessive-compulsive tendencies."

"The art style of this game is so beautiful. So this is what a harvest scene looks like."

"In an instant, the pride of the country farmer, Kiju, was completely destroyed (sadly)."

Qishu frowned as he controlled Ditto to circle the farm.

There's no reason for a game to include an NPC that's similar to the player but develops faster than them, right?

Sure enough, she found a clue in the mailbox at the door of the cabin.

Lika's Farm

Clicking the mailbox will bring up the astronaut's friend list; dragging it back and forth allows you to choose whose farm to visit.

However, since no one else had registered for the game, the only friend that could be selected was Rika.

Kiki had almost forgotten that she had added Rika as a friend when she went to participate in the exhibition match in the Kanto region.

I never imagined I would recall it in this way today.

'No wonder Izumi asked us to apply for the Navigator login interface; so that's what they were waiting for!'

'They went to so much trouble to develop this feature; it must have other uses.'

Qishu wanted to go inside the wooden house to take a look, but found the door locked.
