"Noibat~"
Natsume placed Noibat in the sink and cleaned its body.
"Stealing is shameful, but working hard is honorable."
"To make up for your mistake, you'll stay here on the Farm and work."
Natsume dried Noibat off with a towel.
"Your job will be the night shift; you can rest during the day."
"I'll take care of your three meals."
Natsume set the towel aside and took out a Poké Ball, saying, "If you agree, come on in."
Noibat hesitated for a moment and then pointed at the Plump Beans outside.
It wanted to know if it could eat Plump Beans every day.
Natsume smiled and responded, "Of course you can."
"Not just Plump Beans; there will be many berries here that you won't find outside."
"Like Pecha Berries, Leppa Berries, Oran Berries, and all sorts of berries."
As Noibat listened to Natsume's enticing words, it wiped its mouth and quickly placed its hand on the Poké Ball.
Ding~
Successfully obtained the Farm Night Shift Pokémon: Noibat!
"Time to eat, Rotom~"
Rotom flew over and said, "Breakfast is ready, Rotom."
"Great."
Natsume released Noibat.
"Come on, let's go officially greet everyone."
"Noibat~"
Noibat followed behind Natsume.
It looked nervously at Arcanine and the Houndour in the living room who were staring at it.
"Noibat."
Noibat stuttered as it spoke, looking extremely tense.
Name: Noibat
Type: Flying/Dragon
Level: lv16
Ability: Infiltrator
Individual Values: HP 27, Attack 28, Defense 25, Special Attack 23, Special Defense 30, Speed 30

Although Noibat resembled a purple bat, it indeed had the Dragon type.
While it appeared a bit shy now, its evolution, Noivern, was definitely a powerful Dragon-type Pokémon.
In a dark environment, even Near-legendary Pokémon like Hydreigon would hesitate to battle Noivern.
"Dragonair~"
Dragonair looked at the nervous Noibat and gently used its power to make the Soothe Bell at the door sway.
The soft sound of the bell immediately helped Noibat relax.
"Noibat~"
Noibat greeted everyone.
"Buneary~"
Buneary brought over the meal prepared for Noibat.
Natsume said, "Alright, everyone, let's start eating."
The Farm Pokémon's breakfast consisted of porridge made from Hearty Grains, along with various vegetables and meats according to each Pokémon's type.
For example, Snivy had Hearty Grains porridge with a vegetable platter.
Houndour and the others had Hearty Grains with some chicken mixed in.
Noibat enjoyed Plump Beans, so it had Plump Beans topped with some fruit for breakfast.
Soon, breakfast time came to an end.
Sandslash was very enthusiastic about the Rototiller.
Having just finished eating, it went to work in the fields with Rotom.
The Buneary were responsible for washing the dishes and cleaning up.
As a nocturnal Pokémon, Noibat eat its fill and then curled up in a corner of the cupboard to sleep.
Dragonair, who had just completed its evolution, was practicing battle techniques with Arcanine in the open area.
This would help it better acclimate to its newfound abilities.
Natsume opened his phone to check the new Farm Task that had appeared.
Farm Task 2: Complete the planting of Springy Mushrooms from sowing to maturity.
Quest Reward: Time Accelerator for one acre duration one month * 1; Secret Technique: Hail.
The maturation period for Springy Mushrooms is one month.
Although the maturation period is short, their market price is astonishingly high.
They sell for 1,000 yen per pound.
This is because Springy Mushrooms are extremely difficult to preserve, and their yield is low.
Once harvested, if not consumed immediately, Springy Mushrooms will spoil quickly.
Moreover, their delicious flavor makes them a favorite among Dragon-type and Monster-type Pokémon, which contributes to their high price.
"To grow Springy Mushrooms, I need to build a greenhouse."
A suitable greenhouse for 100 square meters of Springy Mushroom farming requires 50,000 Pokémon Coins to instantly generate.
"Once I complete this task, I can use the Quest Reward to collect the Hearty Grains in the field."
Natsume walked outside the Farm and clicked on the building section in Farm Story.
Building Name: Springy Mushroom Greenhouse.
Building Area: 100 square meters.
Required Coins: 30,000 Pokémon Coins.
Natsume clicked on an empty plot of land within the Farm.
The greenhouse appeared out of thin air.
"Snivy~"
Snivy came running over, curiously looking at the newly appeared greenhouse.
"Perfect timing."
Natsume handed a portion of the Springy Mushroom seeds to Snivy, saying, "Let's plant these seeds together."
"Snivy~"
Snivy nodded and followed Natsume into the greenhouse.
As soon as Natsume stepped inside, he immediately sensed the humidity.
Natsume and Snivy quickly sowed the Springy Mushroom seeds.
Afterward, Natsume clicked on the Time Accelerator.
Acceleration time: one month.
100,000 Pokémon Coins were deducted.
Right before Natsume's eyes, the Springy Mushrooms grew at a visible speed until they were fully mature.
Completion of Springy Mushroom planting achieved.
Quest Reward granted.
