Pokémon: My Farm Adventures

"Dratini, Drizzle!"

Natsume commanded Dratini: "Control the amount of rain."

"Dratini~"

Dratini slightly opened its mouth, and a faint blue energy ball shot up into the sky.

"Dratini~"

The dark clouds began to gather.

Pitter patter, the rain started to fall.

Natsume saw that the watering amount on his phone had reached the target, then turned to Growlithe: "Growlithe, use Sunny Day."

"Awooo!"

Growlithe let out an excited howl.

Whoosh!

A burst of flames shot into the sky.

The rain clouds dispersed, and sunshine returned.

"Next is the Time Accelerator."

If Natsume wanted the acre of land to mature instantly, it would cost 660,000 Pokémon Coins.

However, if he reduced the usage time, the price of the Time Accelerator would be much lower.

Accelerating for two months would only require 120,000 coins.

But Natsume felt that two months was too long.

So, he decided to adjust the acceleration time to three months.

With this adjustment, it would only cost 200,000 Pokémon Coins.

In one month, the Hearty Grains would mature and be ready for sale, which, based on yields, would allow Natsume to earn over 400,000 yen.

The maturation period for Plump Beans is about three months.

With acceleration, they could be harvested in just three days.

Natsume looked at the acre of land before him and the Pokémon by his side, smiling: "It's finally starting to look like a farm." 

In the sky.

"Fearow~"

The Fearow trainer escorting guests looked at the suddenly appearing rain clouds with surprise: "Is that Rain Dance?"

"Ms. Saku, there's a Pokémon using Rain Dance up ahead. It's likely engaged in a battle. Should we wait a bit before proceeding?"

The flying driver asked Sakura.

Sakura hesitated, gazing at the rain clouds ahead: "Just a moment, let me check."

Just as Sakura finished typing, before she could send the message, a burst of flames shot into the sky.

The rain clouds dispersed, and the sunlight became scorching.

"Wow, is that Sunny Day?"

The flying master exclaimed, "Have weather moves become this common?"

Sakura murmured, "If they can control the weather so easily, it's no wonder they can grow such high-quality Hearty Grains."

"Let's go over, master."

"Alright."

Fearow held onto the carriage below and flapped its large wings toward the countryside.

"Fearow~"

Natsume spotted the Fearow approaching in the sky.

Ding dong~

Sakura sent a message: "I've arrived. Where should I land?"

Natsume waved at the Fearow in the sky and pointed to the nearby open space.

"Fearow~"

Fearow slowly lowered the carriage to the ground.

Sakura stepped out of the carriage.

"Hello, are you Mr. Natsume?"

Sakura was a bit surprised by Natsume's age.

"Yes, that's me."

"Welcome to my Takamagahara."

Natsume briefly introduced his farm.

"The farm is still under development, so I won't take you on a tour just yet."

Sakura shook her head: "That's fine."

"Did you grow all these Hearty Grains here, Mr. Natsume?"

Natsume nodded: "That's right."

"This is what I just harvested."

Natsume took out a storage ball and pressed it against the ground.

Nume took out the storage ball and pressed it against the ground.

A large quantity of Hearty Grains instantly scattered across the surface.

The golden Hearty Grains shimmered in the sunlight, almost dazzling.

Sakura reached out and picked one up, then peeled away the shell.

A natural fragrance was immediately released.

"Wonderful."

Sakura exclaimed.

"How does it look? Are you satisfied?"

"Of course I am!"

Sakura then looked toward the one-acre plot that had just been harvested.

"If the Hearty Grains Mr. Natsume grows from now on have this quality as well,"

Sakura said decisively, "Our company will continue to purchase them at 500 yen per pound!"

"I only hope Mr. Natsume will prioritize our company moving forward."

500 yen per pound was already the highest market price.

Sakura's sincerity was clearly evident.

Natsume replied, "No problem, under the same conditions, I will definitely consider your company first."

Natsume's batch of Hearty Grains weighed 200 pounds.

Selling at 500 yen per pound would yield an income of 100,000 yen.

That would cover the cost of the Time Accelerator.

However, Natsume only sold 100 pounds.

The remaining 100 pounds were set aside for Dratini and the others.

"Speaking of which, there are those Rattata too."

Natsume took out the Rattata he had previously collected.

Rattata's market price was among the lowest in the Pokémon market.

A single Rattata sells for just 500 yen.

This is because Rattata's battle strength isn't very strong.

They aren't much help to humans either.

Hence, their price has always remained low.

Natsume made a bulk deal, selling them all to Sakura for 5,000 yen.

"If there's nothing else, I'll head back now."

Sakura said to Natsume, "Mr. Natsume, I wish you a good harvest in the fall!"

"Thank you."

As Natsume watched Sakura and Fearow leave, he thought, "But I won't have to wait until autumn for the next harvest."

In the fields, there wasn't much work left for now.

Natsume glanced at the clock; it was nearing four in the afternoon.

"Everyone, how about we have a barbecue together tonight?"

"Sandslash~"

Sandslash was not picky; it would eat anything.

"Awooo."

Growlithe looked at Natsume curiously.

Growlithe didn't know what a barbecue was.

"Rotom, let me explain!~"

A projection appeared on the screen from Rotom.

By the barbecue grill, a man was grilling meat.

Beside him, a Mr. Mime was helping by skewering the meat.

Not far away, children were flying kites and Yamper were chasing each other across the lawn.

"Barbecue, as it's referred to, is when everyone gathers together to eat food that's grilled over a fire."

Rotom explained, "It's a very common type of party meal, Rotom~"

"Awooo~"

Growlithe was feeling excited.

Since the food was grilled over a fire, it would definitely be delicious!

That's just how Fire-type Pokémon are.

"Rotom, please contact the barbecue restaurant and have them send some supplies over."

"Understood, Rotom."

Rotom agreed.

"Before we eat, everyone can move around freely."
