Chapter 53: Chapter 53:Sudden Downpour
"Mr. Natsume, you have to come watch when I participate in the Pokémon Contests."
"And Sandslash too."
Aiko called over a flying taxi.
She stood at the carriage door and said to Natsume and Sandslash.
Natsume smiled and replied, "I will."
"Sandslash~"
Haruka waved to Natsume from the glass window of the carriage, saying, "We're off now."
Natsume waved back at the two, "Goodbye."
Boom~
Not long after they left, a low rumble of thunder suddenly erupted from the sky.
Natsume looked up at the sky and said, "Looks like it's going to rain."
Natsume called to everyone by the bamboo grove, "Everyone, hurry and pack up the things here."
"Buneary~"
Buneary quickly placed the uncooked food onto plates and ran toward the room.
Crash~
Lightning struck the ground.
Following that, heavy rain began to fall.
Summer storms always come quickly.
Natsume picked up his phone and checked the water level for the crops.
The indicator showing the amount of watering started to rise slowly.
At the moment, there seemed to be no problems.
However, if the water level exceeded regulations, it could affect the growth and yield of the Hearty Grains.
Notice: The farm has welcomed its first natural rainfall. To avoid impacting the Hearty Grains' harvest, please build a drainage ditch as soon as possible.
Quest Reward: Provides a lot of experience fruit *3.
Natsume opened Farm Story.
Shop - Build - Drainage Ditch.
A floor plan of the farm appeared on the phone.
Each acre appeared as a small square on the phone.
In the squares, Hearty Grains and Plump Beans were growing.
Natsume moved his hand on the screen, and the drainage ditch was successfully built, with the outlet leading to the stream behind the room.
Natsume clicked confirm.
The drainage ditch was successfully built, costing one hundred thousand Pokémon coins.
Task complete: You have received Provides a lot of experience fruit *3.
The ones happiest about the rainy day were probably the Water-type and Grass-type Pokémon.
The Water-type Pokémon that were originally in the river floated to the surface.
A few Lotad happily drifted along with the current.
The Sewaddle also looked quite happy.
Sewaddle, being both Bug type and Grass type, also enjoyed this rainy day.
"Leavanny."
Leavanny quickly took out the Pokémon egg from the nest.
Natsume set down his phone and said to Leavanny, "Leavanny, let's go to the room."
"Leavanny~"
Natsume led Leavanny to a guest room on the first floor.
"Leavanny, you and Larvitar's Pokémon egg can stay and sleep here for now."
"Leavanny~"
Leavanny placed the Larvitar's Pokémon egg on the pillow, then covered it with fallen leaves to continue hatching.
Boom~
Another flash of lightning struck the sky.
The rain pelted against the windows.
The rain grew heavier and heavier.
Natsume looked out the window and said, "Looks like it's going to be a heavy downpour."
"Houndoom~"
Houndoom and the Houndour huddled under the eaves, shaking their bodies.
Water droplets splashed off them.
As Fire-type Pokémon, they quickly dried themselves with their body heat.
"Minccino~"
Minccino and Noibat worked together to close all the windows in the room tightly.
"Awooo~"
Arcanine yawned and promptly lay down in the living room.
"Farfetch'd!"
Even in such heavy rain, Farfetch'd ran inside.
Farfetch'd carefully wiped its leek with great care.
Clearly, Farfetch'd valued its leek very much.
Natsume took out three Exp. Candies, planning to make a sweet syrup for everyone to drink.
Boom~
"Awooo!"
The two Buneary seemed startled by the thunder outside.
They tugged on Natsume's pants on either side, looking up at him with pitiful expressions.
Natsume picked them up and then sat down on the sofa, saying, "Don't be afraid; it will pass soon."
With Natsume's embrace, the Buneary felt much more at ease.
Natsume turned on the TV.
The news was currently being broadcast.
The host looked into the camera and said, "The Millennial Comet is about to appear again."
"Some believe that the unusual weather patterns in various places in recent years may be related to the Millennial Comet. Next, let's hear the thoughts of astronomer Sato-hakase."
The camera switched.
An elderly man with white hair and glasses spoke, "The Millennial Comet will not have any impact on the regions."
"On this point, everyone can rest assured."
The reporter replied, "Thank you, Sato-hakase. Additionally, many are curious about the legendary Pokémon, Jirachi, associated with the Millennial Comet."
"Is it true that Jirachi, which can grant any wish, will come to this world alongside the Millennial Comet?"
Sato-hakase thought for a moment and replied, "According to historical records, Jirachi does appear whenever the Millennial Comet comes."
"However, whether Jirachi is truly brought by the Millennial Comet is still to be verified."
Jirachi, a Pokémon of legend.
This legend has been passed down since ancient times.
When Jirachi awakens from a thousand years of slumber, it will grant the wishes written on the wish tags on its head.
When Jirachi is sleeping, it is enclosed in a hard crystalline body to protect itself from disturbances.
But if it perceives danger, it will battle in its dreams.
"Jirachi, huh."
Natsume mused, "Speaking of which, I haven't seen a single one of those legendary Pokémon."
"Sewaddle~"
At that moment, the Sewaddle ran in from outside.
The heavy rain outside was a bit too much for them to handle.
Natsume smiled at the Sewaddle and said, "You came just in time."
"The sweet syrup is ready."
