Pokémon: My Farm Adventures

"Mr. Mime, how are you feeling?"

Natsume helped Mr. Mime recover with Eternity Power.

"Mr. Mime."

Mr. Mime shook its head vigorously.

It looked dazed.

Natsume asked Mr. Mime, "Mr. Mime, why didn't you use Ally Switch just now?"

Mr. Mime glanced at Dragonite and then said to Natsume, "Mr. Mime~"

Mr. Mime explained that successfully using Ally Switch required it to psychically lock onto itself and its opponent's position.

Once locked, Mr. Mime could instantly switch positions.

That's the basic principle of the Ally Switch move.

However, Dragonite was too fast just now.

Before Mr. Mime's Inner Focus could lock onto Dragonite's body, Dragonite had already charged forward.

Dragonite's speed was so fast that Mr. Mime just couldn't execute its move.

"Dragonite~"

Dragonite scratched its head sheepishly after hearing this.

Heh, I didn't realize I was that fast.

Yamada Kaichou looked at Natsume with a puzzled expression and said, "Your Dragonite's strength is such that even among the Country-level gym leaders, it would be considered an absolute ace Pokémon."

Yamada Kaichou couldn't help but ask, "Natsume, with such strength, why are you willing to stay in our small Morimachi?"

Natsume replied naturally, "Because my farm is in Morimachi."

Yamada Kaichou looked at the Pokémon gathered around and understood what Natsume meant.

"Yamada Kaichou, do you have a good understanding of the strength of a country-level gym leader?"

Natsume curiously asked, "I have learned some information online, but I don't have a concrete idea of how strong they actually are."

Yamada Kaichou walked outside towards the battle venue along with Natsume.

"I'll explain using Mr. Mime and Emboar as examples of battle power."

"If a Trainer has one Mr. Mime in his Pokémon team, he is qualified to apply for a city-level gym."

"With one Mr. Mime and two Emboar as the main force, the remaining three Pokémon may be weaker than Emboar."

"This is the general strength of a city-level gym leader."

After hearing Yamada Kaichou, Natsume understood the strength of the gym leader for a city-level gym.

In simple terms: one level fifty Pokémon, two level forty-five Pokémon, and three level forty Pokémon.

Yamada Kaichou said with a sigh, "Although we have produced some individuals with gym leader strength in Morimachi, unfortunately, no one is willing to stay and develop here."

"Trainers generally want to venture into bigger places."

Natsume nodded slightly, "I understand."

Yamada Kaichou continued, "As for the strength of a regional-level gym leader, their main force is about six Mr. Mime."

"In the Eastern Region, with six prefectures, there are a total of eight regional gyms recognized by the regional alliance."

"Two in Kanagawa Prefecture, two in Chiba Prefecture, and one each in Hokkaido and other prefectures."

"The distinction between regional-level and city-level gyms compared to country-level gyms is not only in strength but also in type."

Yamada Kaichou introduced, "There are no specific type requirements for regional-level and city-level gyms."

"But country-level gyms are different."

"There are eighteen country-level gyms, and each gym corresponds to a specific type."

"Gym leaders who possess country-level strength have Pokémon of the same type, and all are stronger than my Mr. Mime."

"As for their trump card, it is probably comparable to your Dragonite."

"However, in my personal opinion, your Dragonite's strength would likely rank among the top in country-level gym leaders."

After hearing Yamada Kaichou, Natsume gained a general understanding of his current strength.

Natsume's farm currently has fewer high-level Pokémon than a regional-level gym.

However, Natsume's Dragonite now possesses strength comparable to a country-level gym leader.

"Additionally, in gym challenges, gym leaders generally do not use their main Pokémon."

"After all, gym battles are merely to test whether a challenger has the strength to participate in regional tournaments."

Yamada Kaichou paused slightly and then looked at Natsume, saying, "Above the gyms are the four champions of each region and the regional champion."

"They also hold important positions in various departments of our country."

After Yamada Kaichou finished speaking, Natsume had a rough understanding of the Trainer Association and the structure of gyms in Japan.

While the two were talking, a red-haired young man with Typhlosion approached excitedly and asked, "Hello, is this where you're going to build a gym?"

Natsume looked at the newcomer and nodded slightly, "Yes."

"I am Gym Leader Natsume."

The red-haired young man introduced himself, "My name is Yamane, and this is my companion Typhlosion."

"We're currently training to become Fire-type masters, and I heard online that the strength of the farm owner here is impressive, so I thought I'd come and challenge."

"I didn't expect to witness such an exciting battle."

Yamane took a deep breath as he spoke.

"In short, since you're going to build a gym here, I'm ready to claim the first gym badge!"

"Leader sir, please let me book a gym battle!"

Natsume looked at the young man in front of him, "Of course."

"However, the gym badge has not been completed yet."

"If you want to get a gym badge, you might have to wait a few days."

Yamane asked, "When can I officially book the challenge?"

"This can be checked on the Morimachi Trainer Association's official website."

"They will make an announcement."

Yamane nodded, "I understand."

"Until then, I will continue training."

Natsume smiled, "Okay, I remember you."

"When the gym officially opens, I'll schedule you as the first challenger."

Yamane bowed and said, "Thank you very much, I'll take my leave now."

After Yamane left, Yamada Kaichou looked at Natsume and asked, "What are your thoughts on the rules of the gym battle?"

Natsume certainly had some ideas.

Natsume waved to Farfetch'd standing nearby, "Farfetch'd, come here."

"Farfetch'd~"

Farfetch'd jogged over to Natsume while dragging its leek.

Natsume smiled at Farfetch'd and said, "From now on, you will be the acting leader of our farm."

"At that time, you won't have to look for opponents to challenge; instead, there will be countless challengers coming to battle you."

Hearing Natsume's description, Farfetch'd suddenly felt enthusiastic.

"Farfetch'd!"

Farfetch'd excitedly swung its leek around in a circle.

Yamada Kaichou listened to Natsume's words and remarked curiously, "Aren't you planning to participate personally?"

"Wouldn't that be a bit inappropriate?"

Natsume replied naturally, "Not at all."

"My gym rules are very simple."

"A rookie Trainer without any gym badges can challenge Chimchar and Houndour."

"Chimchar~"

Chimchar waved its fist.

"A challenger with three or more gym badges can challenge Farfetch'd."

"If someone defeats my Farfetch'd and wishes to continue challenging, they can submit a battle request to me."

After Natsume finished speaking, Yamada Kaichou contemplated, "That rule is quite interesting."

"But…"

Yamada Kaichou looked at Natsume with a strange expression and said, "Is the reason you want to create a gym just to exercise your Pokémon?"

Natsume gave a thumbs-up, "You really are Yamada Kaichou, always able to see through the truth at a glance."

Yamada Kaichou sighed, "Alright then."

"If there's nothing else, we will take our leave now."

"Once you confirm the opening date for the gym and the gym badge, send me the design plan, and I will arrange for someone to help you make it."

Natsume said, "Sure."

After Yamada Kaichou left, Natsume turned to Sandslash and Dugtrio beside him and said, "Sandslash, Dugtrio, this land is entrusted to you."

"But remember to leave pathways between each piece of land."

"Because, in the future, many people may come to visit."

Natsume planned to separate the area on the mountain from the area below.

The Takamagahara on the mountain is not open to the public; it is a secluded paradise that belongs solely to Natsume.

The land below the mountain, aside from the central gym, will have clear patches of hearty grains.

Natsume began to envision the future of this place.

When autumn arrives, it will transform into a golden sea.

In the battle arena within the hearty grains, challengers from all over the world will engage in battles.

They will also bring Pokémon from around the globe.

Natsume thought: if there are too many people, more battle arenas can be built.

Perhaps some sports and entertainment venues could be established below the mountain as well.

Like a Pokémon soccer field, a basketball court, and ping pong tables.

The future looks promising!

"Dugtrio~"

After hearing Natsume, Dugtrio and Sandslash immediately dashed off into the surrounding land.

They couldn't wait to start working the arable land.

"Remember to come back on the mountain tonight to watch the comet, don't work too late."

Natsume called out to Sandslash and the dug trio.

"Sandslash~"

Sandslash waved its claws.

"These guys."

Natsume shook his head helplessly and then said to Dragonite and Ralts beside him, "Let's head back up the mountain."

"Dragonite~"

"Dragonite, what shape do you think our gym badge should have?"

"Dragonite~"

Dragonite pointed at its own face.

Natsume replied, "Are you trying to tell me your face is big?"

"Dragonite~"

Dragonite chuckled happily.

"Ralts~"

Ralts also gave its opinion.

Ralts thought that the model of the entire farm could be used as the gym badge.

"That's a good idea."

Natsume said, "But the farm will definitely be updated in the future, and it will become larger and larger."

"If that's the case, a badge that is too small may not fit our farm."

"Ralts~"

Ralts continued to think.

Natsume said, "Since it's a gym within a farm, it should have some unique features of the farm."

Everything in the farm starts with planting hearty grains.

Currently, the crops that best represent the farm are also the hearty grains.

Natsume quickly envisioned a design in his mind.

"Dragonite~"

Dragonite landed with Natsume on the farm.

"I got it! Dragonite, Ralts, what do you think of this?"

Natsume squatted down and drew a Poké Ball on the ground with his finger.

The sides of the Poké Ball are entwined with a ripe hearty grain plant.

"What do you think?"

"Dragonite~"

Dragonite clapped its hands.

"Very pretty~"

Ralts happily added, "I like this design."

Natsume looked at Ralts and asked, "What about me?"

Ralts replied, "I like Natsume the most~"

Natsume beamed with a bright smile~

In the sky, the setting sun gradually painted the sky red.

As the sun set, the moon rose.

In the night, the stars twinkled.

Behind the house, by the bamboo grove, the river water flowed slowly.

Natsume moved a table outside.

Jirachi, sleeping in its purple crystalline body, lay quietly under the moonlight.

Natsume slightly raised his head and softly said, "The moonlight is beautiful tonight."

In the night sky, a beam of starlight grew increasingly bright.

That was the Millennial Comet, soon to arrive on Earth.

"Natsume, will Jirachi really awaken tonight?" Ralts asked curiously.

Natsume replied, "According to historical records, it indeed does."

"However, the last recorded sighting of Jirachi was a thousand years ago."

"A thousand years is a long time for humans, so I can't be sure if there are any errors in the historical documents."

In the sky, the beam of starlight sparkled even more.

The Millennial Comet had officially arrived on Earth.

The comet's tail, with its aurora-like colors, created a dreamlike feeling.

It filled one with infinite imagination of the cosmic rivers and stars.

Blub, blub~

In the water, Feebas and Kabutops also surfaced, staring blankly at the sky.

"Jirachi is calling me."

Suddenly, the purple crystal that Natsume had placed on the table began to float.

A dazzling light instantly illuminated the ground around them.

The purple crystal slowly dissolved.

The star-shaped Jirachi gradually opened its eyes.

Behind it, two yellow scarf-like appendages gently slid down.

Jirachi focused its gaze on Natsume, and its eyes suddenly resembled crescent moons.

Jirachi smiled and said, "Natsume~"

At the same time, in Aoi District.

An aircraft covered in invisible paint slowly hovered above the sea of trees.

Inside the aircraft.

"Energy detection device activated, no energy fluctuations detected in the northeast direction."

"Energy detection device activated, no energy fluctuations detected in the northwest direction."

"Energy detection device activated."

At that moment, a middle-aged man wearing a black trench coat walked into the main control room.

"Takahashi-hakase, Jirachi is still a legendary Pokémon after all."

"Are you sure we can successfully catch it?"

In the control room, an elderly man with a slight hunch calmly replied, "Do you know what Aoi District was like a thousand years ago?"

The cloaked man shook his head slightly, "How could I possibly know such things?"

"It's just a desert."

The cloaked man was somewhat surprised, "A desert?"

"There is no sign of desert here at all."

Takahashi-hakase walked to the window.

He leaned on the window and looked down.

"Here, a long time ago, was indeed a desert."

"But after Jirachi fell asleep here, it transformed into a resource-rich forest."

Takahashi-hakase glanced at the sky outside and continued, "Jirachi awakens once every thousand years."

"Upon awakening, Jirachi receives powerful life energy from the Millennial Comet."

"After seven days, when it leaves Earth, the Jirachi energized by the Millennial Comet will return to sleep underground."

"Sleeping Jirachi shares its energy with the land."

"And the land is thus rejuvenated."

After hearing Takahashi-hakase's words, the cloaked man pondered, "So, you mean to say that this Aoi District was actually nurtured by Jirachi?"

Takahashi-hakase turned and looked at him, "This is not my statement."

"This is a fact!"

"In a sense, this entire Aoi District is rooted in Jirachi."

Takahashi-hakase approached the energy control panel and looked at the data displayed: "Although Jirachi is powerful."

"During this thousand years, Jirachi has given all its life energy to this land."

"When the Millennial Comet arrives, Jirachi will awaken again."

"And at that time, Jirachi will be at its weakest!"

Takahashi-hakase continued, "A Jirachi that has lost almost all its energy is not to be feared."

"So we just need to wait for the moment Jirachi awakens."

"Of course, we also need to watch out for those rangers."

"They are also waiting for Jirachi."

In Aoi District, at the rangers' base.

"Tonight, Jirachi will awaken."

Tokyo Flying-type gym leader Ohtaka said to the rangers from various regions, "Our mission is to find Jirachi and ensure it safely passes through the next seven days."

Ranger Haruto asked in confusion, "Why don't we protect Jirachi in advance?"

"Sleeping Jirachi is completely integrated with this forest; we cannot determine Jirachi's location."
