Pokémon: My Farm Adventures

"Natsume~ Wake up~"

Jirachi jumped onto Natsume's body.

Natsume opened his eyes and quickly hugged Jirachi, who was bouncing on him.

"Jirachi, stop stepping around!"

Jirachi tilted its head.

Natsume, bare-chested, got out of bed.

The window of the large balcony had already been pushed open.

The wind blew in from outside.

Natsume placed Jirachi on his shoulder and walked toward the large balcony.

The Hearty Grains and Plump Beans that had been planted not long ago had already sprouted tender shoots.

The fields were a sea of green.

Natsume opened his phone to check the results of yesterday's gym battle.

Houndour participated in the battle and gained 21,341 experience points.

Houndour's level rose to level 24, successfully evolving into Houndoom.

Heracross participated in the battle and gained 12,723 experience points, leveling up to 23.

Monferno participated in the battle and gained 37,321 experience points, leveling up to 19.

Many ordinary tourists visited Morimachi yesterday.

Their challenges provided Monferno and the other Pokémon with a lot of battle experience.

Unfortunately, high-level Pokémon gained much less battle experience from battling low-level Pokémon.

This meant Dragonite could not quickly level up inside the gym.

However, for the majority of Pokémon in the farm, the presence of the gym was a tremendous help.

This allowed some lower-level Pokémon to quickly increase to a level where they could support themselves.

Natsume put down his phone and walked downstairs.

"Lopunny~"

Lopunny was carrying two trays in its hands.

It gently placed the trays on the table.

Inside the trays were fruits cut by Ralts.

Another Lopunny stood in front of the kitchen, looking at the porridge cooking in the pot and the steak sizzling nearby.

Natsume felt that his Lopunny was becoming quite the capable little maid.

"Good morning, Rotom~"

Rotom flew over and greeted Natsume.

"Good morning, Rotom."

"Rotom, where are Monferno and the others?"

Rotom replied, "Monferno and Heracross went to train below the mountain very early."

"Moreover, someone left a message on the Association's official website, hoping that our gym venue could add a pool."

"A pool?"

Natsume thought for a moment and said, "I got it."

A pool would be easy to manage.

Natsume planned to have Dragonite use two Ice Punches to create two holes.

Then just add some water to the holes.

Maintenance afterward?

Not necessary.

After finishing breakfast,

Natsume began to prepare his gear for the journey to the north.

Based on Sirfetch'd's description, Natsume figured that its hometown was deep within Towada Lake in the north.

The boundary of Towada Lake is near the Kushiro Wetlands in the Shinshu Region.

Natsume also planned to check out the Miltank Ranch there.

In reality, the Shinshu Region is also part of the Tohoku area.

Natsume checked his backpack.

Outdoor tent, food, emergency supplies.

And most importantly, Poké Balls *100.

"All set."

Natsume slung the backpack over his shoulders and then walked into the courtyard.

"Awooo~"

Arcanine excitedly ran up to Natsume.

Natsume ruffled Arcanine's big furry head and laughed, "After we handle things with Sirfetch'd, we'll go for a walk on the plains."

"I think you'll really enjoy the vast grasslands."

"Because you'll be able to run freely there."

"Awooo~"

Arcanine wagged its big tail.

"Houndoom~"

All the Houndour on the farm had now evolved into Houndoom.

Five large black dogs standing together still gave off quite an imposing presence.

Natsume said to the Houndoom leader, "Houndoom, I'll leave the patrol over here to you."

"Also, at night, please say hello to little Noibat for me."

"Houndoom~"

The Houndoom leader nodded.

Natsume went to check on the hatching Larvitar and its Leavanny.

"Leavanny~"

Leavanny informed Natsume that Larvitar's life activity was becoming increasingly vigorous.

It could sense Larvitar's tiny body through the Pokémon egg.

If all goes well, Larvitar would hatch in less than a week.

By the stream~

Blub, blub~

"Feebas, we're going on a trip."

Natsume squatted by the riverbank and fed Feebas two pieces of fruit.

"The trip won't be long; we'll be back in about two or three days."

Blub, blub~

Feebas blew bubbles.

"Serperior."

"I'm counting on you to take care of things on the farm."

Natsume reached out to stroke Serperior's cheek.

For this trip, Natsume was bringing Dragonite, Sirfetch'd, Arcanine, Ralts, and Jirachi with him.

Serperior would stay at the farm.

With Serperior around, unless a country-level gym leader came looking for trouble, there shouldn't be any issues.

Of course, even if a country-level gym leader really wanted to cause trouble, they wouldn't attack Natsume's Pokémon without reason.

Japan's society is relatively stable.

Gym leaders also need to maintain their image.

However, even if something did happen,

with Jirachi around, it wouldn't take long to fly back immediately.

"Serperior~"

Serperior pressed its cheek against Natsume's face.

Snuggle~

Natsume kissed Serperior on the forehead and then sat on Dragonite's back.

"Let's go, Dragonite, to the gym below the mountain."

"Dragonite~"

Dragonite flapped its wings and flew toward below the mountain.

The early-rising Sandslash was always very diligent.

"Sandslash~"

The busy Sandslash looked up and waved at Dragonite as it flew overhead.

At the battle venue,

Sirfetch'd was teaching Monferno and Heracross his battle experience.

The battle arena had already become quite uneven.

"Dragonite~"

Dragonite landed beside Sirfetch'd.

"Farfetch'd~"

"Good morning, everyone."

Natsume greeted them and then jumped down from Dragonite.

Natsume looked at Monferno and the others and said, "You're working hard; starting training so early."

"Monferno~"

Monferno threw a punch in place.

Monferno wanted to become stronger, to be as strong as Dragonite!

Natsume smiled and said, "That's the spirit."

"Dragonite, come here."

"Let's power it up."

Natsume said this while signaling everyone to clear the venue.

"Dragonite!"

Dragonite extended its fist, and cold energy began to condense in its hand.

Ice Punch!

Bang!

With that punch, the ground shook instantly.

Dirt cracked like a spider web, then collapsed, forming a large pit.

At the same time, the cold energy from the Ice Punch froze all the dirt.

A massive ice pit appeared in place.

"Drizzle."

Dragonite controlled the rainclouds.

Water quickly filled the ice pit.

"Monferno."

"Heracross."

Monferno and Heracross widened their eyes, staring blankly at Dragonite.

This is incredibly strong!

Natsume said with a smile, "Monferno, Heracross."

"Let's all work toward this goal together."

"Dragonite~"

Dragonite stretched out its arms, showing a proud expression.

It felt admired~

Dragonite was happy.

Natsume took out a Poké Ball and pointed it at Sirfetch'd, saying, "Let's go, Sirfetch'd."

"Farfetch'd~"

Sirfetch'd entered the Poké Ball.

"Monferno, Heracross, you're in charge of the gym here."

"If you encounter a significant strength gap, go call Serperior."

Monferno nodded.

"Rotom, if anything comes up, just contact me."

"Got it, Rotom~"

After giving instructions to everyone, Natsume mounted Dragonite.

"Let's go, Dragonite."

Whoosh~

Dragonite flapped its wings.

The wind picked up~

Dragonite flew Natsume high into the sky.

"Dragonite!"

Dragonite called out to Jirachi flying alongside it.

Dragonite wanted to race speed again!

Jirachi smiled at Dragonite: "Sure~"

Natsume, holding Ralts on Dragonite's back, said, "Then I'll give the commands."

"3, 2, 1, go!"

Boom~

Two thunderous sounds exploded in the air!

Heading north~

The figures of Dragonite and Jirachi instantly disappeared above the farm.

The sonic boom even made the whole Morimachi tremble.

Some people, confused, walked to the window and looked up at the sky.

In the sky, there were only two long trails of flight.

What's going on?

Did something explode or was it thunder?

The people of Morimachi wondered, bewildered.

To the north, Towada Lake.

"Dragonite~"

Dragonite stopped in a huff.

Ahead, Jirachi grinned and said, "I win again~"

Dragonite turned its head, annoyed.

Natsume checked the time.

Flying from Hokkaido to the north only took a little over an hour.

"That's really fast."

Natsume sighed in amazement and then looked at the angry Dragonite and said, "Dragonite, do you know what this means?"

"Dragonite?"

Dragonite looked at Natsume with confusion.

Natsume patted Dragonite's body: "Dragonite, you still need to practice."

Jirachi followed by patting its large belly: "Still need to practice~"

"Dragonite~"

Dragonite felt gloomy.

"Alright, Dragonite, let's land up ahead."

Dragonite descended into a forest.

The temperature here was much lower than in the south.

Natsume even noticed that many of the leaves were still frosted over.

The temperature difference between day and night at Towada Lake is quite large.

Therefore, frost in July is not too surprising.

However, it was currently midday.

Having frost at this time seemed a bit strange.

Natsume took out his phone and opened Farm Story.

As expected, a new Exploration Mission appeared.

Towada Lake Exploration Mission Triggered.

Task 1: The frost phenomenon at Towada Lake is quite peculiar; there may be a special reason behind it.

Task Requirements: Please find out the truth.

Quest Reward: Type Gems Draw*3

Task 2: Legend has it that a terrifying Water-type Pokémon lives in the lake water of Towada Lake. It may appear anywhere in the rivers of Towada Lake, which is why it is called the ruler of the water.

Task Requirements: Please find it and defeat it.

Quest Reward: Treasure Draw*3

After completing all tasks, unlock the Towada Lake map.

This time, there are only two tasks.

However, the completion method is clearly much more difficult than the one in Aoi District.

After all, the task in Aoi District only required accumulating time.

"Dragonite, you should rest for a bit."

Natsume took out a Poké Ball and recalled Dragonite.

"Come out, Sirfetch'd."

"Farfetch'd!"

Sirfetch'd appeared on the empty plot of land.

Natsume looked at Sirfetch'd and asked, "Sirfetch'd, do you know why it's so cold here?"

Sirfetch'd looked around and then shook its head slightly.

"Sirfetch'd!"

Although Sirfetch'd didn't know why it was so cold, it still remembered this place.

Many Ice-type Pokémon were active here.

As Sirfetch'd was speaking, a Swinub waddled by, nudging the ground with its snout.

Swinub typically lives in cold environments.

To withstand the harsh cold, their fur is quite long, covering their little stubby feet completely.

Thus, Swinub appears as a rounded, spherical shape.

Name: Swinub 

Type: Ice/Ground 

Level: lv31 

Ability: Snow Cloak 

Moves: Tackle, Powder Snow, Mist, Icy Wind, Endure, Ice Fang 

Potential: gym 

"Swinub~"

Swinub lifted its head and sniffed the air vigorously, then turned its gaze toward Natsume.

"Swinub~"

Swinub smelled something very delicious coming from Natsume!

Natsume looked at the Swinub in front of him and said, "You're saying you smell something tasty on me?"

"Swinub~"

Swinub nodded.

Natsume remembered that this type of Pokémon loves mushrooms the most.

If it caught a whiff of something tempting, Swinub would rush over without hesitation.

Natsume took out a Springy Mushroom from his bag: "Is this what you're talking about?"

Swinub's eyes lit up immediately at the sight of the Springy Mushroom in Natsume's hand.

"Swinub!"

Swinub nodded repeatedly.

Natsume handed the Springy Mushroom to Swinub.

Swinub quickly bit into it, munching happily.

Natsume looked at Swinub and asked, "Swinub, do you know why it's so cold around here?"

Swinub looked at Natsume with confusion.

"Swinub?"

Swinub only knew that it was cold here.

As for why?

Swinub didn't care.

"It looks like I need to investigate this further."

Natsume sighed as he looked at Swinub.

For the causes of the unusual climate, Natsume considered several possibilities.

First: The natural environment here might have nurtured Ice-type treasures, which then affected the surrounding environment.

Second: There could be an undiscovered Ice Stone mine or vein here.

Third: A very powerful Ice-type Pokémon might live here.

"Swinub, have you heard of the ruler of the water?"

Swinub shook its head.

Natsume looked at Sirfetch'd.

Sirfetch'd also shook its head.

"I see, let me think."

Natsume contemplated for a moment and decided to leverage the power of his online friends.

Natsume opened his phone to search for information about the ruler of the water in Towada Lake.

There were many speculations online about the water ruler of Towada Lake.

Some said there was a gigantic Dondozo living in the rivers of Towada Lake.

Others claimed it was a mutated Basculegion.

If Basculegion dragged someone into the river, they would be taken to the underworld.

There were all sorts of claims online.

Natsume patiently searched for a while and indeed found a post that seemed more reliable.

It was from a fishing enthusiast who said that once while fishing, he caught a Wishiwashi.

As soon as Wishiwashi was pulled up, it immediately cried out loudly.

The fishing enthusiast, seeing how pitiful it looked, decided to release it back into the water.

To his surprise, hundreds of Wishiwashi suddenly gathered around, forming a massive school and launched an attack on him.

Individually, Wishiwashi were only 0.2 meters long and quite weak.

However, when they gathered in groups, they earned the nickname of "Lord of the Sea."

Even Gyarados did not dare to provoke a swarm of Wishiwashi in the sea.

Looking at this fishing enthusiast's post, Natsume thought: If it's a swarm of Wishiwashi, it's quite possible.

After all, Wishiwashi can call their companions from as far as 40 kilometers away.

With that ability, Wishiwashi could indeed be the water ruler mentioned in the task.

Natsume put down his phone and looked at Swinub, who hadn't left yet: "Swinub, are you coming with me?"

"There will be plenty of Springy Mushrooms."

Swinub was the first wild Pokémon Natsume encountered here.

Such a connection should not be missed.

"Swinub~"

Swinub nodded in agreement.

"Then come along, Swinub."

Natsume took out a Poké Ball.

Pop~

A red beam of light shot out.

Shake~ Shake~ Ding!

Swinub was successfully captured.

Natsume looked at the Poké Ball and smiled at Ralts and Jirachi beside him: "This is a great start~"

"Let's go, Sirfetch'd, back to your old territory."

"Sirfetch'd~"
