Pokémon: My Farm Adventures

The Strength of Conkeldurr, the Farm's Future Construction Team

At the farm gym,

Ashi watched as the now-recovered Grotle stepped back into the battle arena.

Rotom flew to the center of the venue and announced, "Now, the second challenge of Trainer Ashi from Green Vine City is about to begin!"

"The rules for the match are still 2v2, and only the challenger can switch Pokémon during the match."

"Now, please send out your Pokémon."

Ashi held up a Poké Ball and said, "I'll leave the first match to you again."

"Let's go, Grotle!"

"Grotle~"

"Sirfetch'd!"

Sirfetch'd calmly walked onto the battle arena.

"This challenger is quite brave to directly challenge the farm's Sirfetch'd."

"How long do you think he can hold out?"

The spectators outside the venue began discussing the upcoming battle.

"By the looks of previous performances, I'd estimate it won't even take three minutes."

Ashi's friend expressed dissatisfaction, "Hey, you're really underestimating him!"

The audience glanced at him and simply smiled, not saying much more.

Seeing this, Ashi's friend shouted loudly, "Ashi, show them your strength!"

Ashi turned confidently to his friend and said, "Don't worry!"

Ashi thought to himself: Being mocked, then proving them wrong is basically a classic storyline!

With that in mind, Ashi shouted, "Grotle, use Razor Leaf directly!"

"Grotle!"

A large number of Razor Leaf began to condense in front of Grotle.

The sharp blades pointed directly at Sirfetch'd!

Whoosh, whoosh!

The Razor Leaf flew at high speed toward Sirfetch'd.

"Sirfetch'd!"

Sirfetch'd raised its shield to protect itself.

Bam~

All the Razor Leaf were blocked.

Sirfetch'd looked at its shield.

Sirfetch'd was already well aware of Grotle's strength.

"Blocked, huh? In that case, we'll use Magical Leaf!"

"Grotle!"

Once again, a large number of Razor Leaf condensed in front of Grotle.

"Sirfetch'd!"

Whoosh, whoosh!

As the Razor Leaf shot toward Sirfetch'd, its body moved in an instant.

Quick Attack!

Sirfetch'd sprang off the ground, shooting out at high speed.

The Magical Leaf was gathered together and flew toward Sirfetch'd.

Bam~

Sirfetch'd's body darted through the swirling Magical Leaf, and its sharp long sword pierced through all the Razor Leaf that stood in its way.

"Grotle!"

Grotle looked on in terror as Sirfetch'd charged toward it.

Grotle tried to dodge, but its body couldn't react in time.

Boom!

With just a single strike, Grotle was sent flying by the energy attached to the sword.

The energy protective barrier in the arena rose.

Grotle's body crashed into the energy barrier, then tumbled and fell to the ground.

"Grotle!"

Ashi was momentarily stunned by this sight.

Ashi's friends, who had previously been cheering him on, stood there in shock.

"How is it possible that Ashi's Grotle was knocked out so quickly?"

"How could it not be?"

At that moment, a person nearby calmly looked at Ashi's friends and said, "You all probably came here to challenge without fully understanding."

"The farm gym may be labeled as a city-level gym on the official site, but in reality, many of the Pokémon here have the strength of regional-level gyms."

"Ah?"

Ashi's friend exclaimed, "Then why hasn't it been rated as a regional-level gym?"

"We thought it was only Dragonite that was strong here."

"That's because the farm gym has only been established for a short time."

The local Morimachi resident standing nearby said proudly, "We estimate that this gym will become a regional-level gym sooner or later."

Ashi's friend realized, "So that's how it is."

The Morimachi local added, "In any case, your friend managing to defeat the Houndoom means he has the strength to participate in the regional tournament."

"If he can even beat Sirfetch'd, then he definitely has the strength to compete in the regional tournament, and his ranking won't be too low."

In the battle arena,

Ashi had sent out Pawniard.

"Pawniard, Fury Cutter!"

"Pawniard!"

Pawniard charged quickly toward Sirfetch'd, swinging its blade-like arms down at Sirfetch'd.

"Sirfetch'd!"

Sirfetch'd met Pawniard's attack with a powerful swing of its sword.

Bang!

"Pawniard!"

At that moment, Pawniard felt a tremendous impact hit it.

Pawniard's body slammed against the energy protective barrier, just like Grotle before.

Pawniard lost its battle capability.

Rotom raised its arm to announce the result: "Match ends, Pawniard loses battle capability, and Sirfetch'd is the winner."

"That loss was way too quick."

Ashi muttered to himself.

The bold proclamations he had made earlier echoed in his ears.

It's over; I'm going to be mocked.

Ashi looked around at the audience but found that everyone wore expressions of indifference.

It turned out that he was the one who hadn't recognized the strength.

Ashi glanced over at Natsume.

Natsume hadn't been paying much attention to the battle.

At that moment, Natsume was strolling through the gym's fields with Chansey and Audino.

"The land here has all been cultivated by Sandslash and Dugtrio."

Natsume introduced to Audino and Chansey beside him, "In a way, we're all being taken care of by Sandslash."

"Chansey~"

Chansey looked at Sandslash with admiration.

"How amazing~"

"Sandslash."

Sandslash scratched its head a bit shyly.

Ashi redirected his attention.

He looked at Sirfetch'd.

Sirfetch'd walked off toward the edge of the arena, looking bored.

Sirfetch'd thought this battle was rather dull.

However, at that moment,

From the crowd, a Pokémon carrying two massive concrete pillars walked toward the battle arena.

"Conkeldurr!"

It slammed the concrete bricks down onto the ground, catching Sirfetch'd's attention.

"Sirfetch'd?"

Sirfetch'd tilted its head, looking back in confusion.

"This is Conkeldurr?"

Ashi, who was still in the arena, looked at Conkeldurr with curiosity.

"Rotom, are you here to challenge the gym?"

Rotom flew in front of Conkeldurr and asked curiously, "But the challenge matches have already all ended today."

"Does your trainer have a reservation?"

"Conkeldurr."

Conkeldurr explained its purpose.

Conkeldurr was not anyone's Pokémon.

It was a wild Pokémon living near the city.

Having heard about the happenings here, it had come specifically to challenge.

Many strong Pokémon also actively challenge those they consider powerful.

In fact, trainers travel and challenge gyms to encounter these powerful Pokémon as well.

After all, if it were just about training Pokémon, it would certainly be more effective within a specialized gym.

Of course, the most important reason is that the cost of raising a Pokémon from scratch is too high.

But if one can capture a Pokémon that already has strong strength, it can save them a decade of effort.

Natsume's Sirfetch'd initially chose to stay after it was defeated by Sandslash when it challenged Arcanine and the others.

At this moment, outside the venue,

Several Timburr and Gurdurr were swinging the wood and steel bars they were holding.

Timburr and Gurdurr are Pokémon that generally live near human cities.

They seem to enjoy construction sites, often going to help out at construction sites while also exercising their bodies.

If they encounter a situation where work stops for some reason, they might even throw a fit.

Based on this behavior, some people have even created insults.

For example, if someone is overly argumentative, they might say, "Are you a Gurdurr? You love to argue so much!"

After listening to Conkeldurr, Rotom understood its purpose: "I see."

"Sirfetch'd, do you want to fight?"

"Sirfetch'd!"

Sirfetch'd appeared quite interested in this unexpected opponent that had entered the battle arena.

Seeing this, Rotom said, "Alright, Rotom."

"Then let the battle between Sirfetch'd and Conkeldurr begin!"

"Shuwo!"

Conkeldurr swung its two concrete rods and charged swiftly toward Sirfetch'd.

"Sirfetch'd!"

Sirfetch'd took a defensive stance, keeping a vigilant eye on Conkeldurr.

"Shuwo!"

Conkeldurr swung its concrete rod forward, aiming to smash into Sirfetch'd's body!

Sirfetch'd quickly raised its shield to block in front of itself.

Bang!

The powerful strike caused Sirfetch'd to sink down slightly.

"Sirfetch'd!"

Sirfetch'd swiftly swung its long sword at Conkeldurr.

Clang~ Bang!

Conkeldurr responded just as quickly, raising the other concrete pillar in front of itself to block Sirfetch'd's attack!

Ashi's friend remarked as he walked back to Ashi, "I thought these construction Pokémon were here to work on the farm. Why are they fighting?"

Ashi shook his head, "I'm not really sure."

At that moment, Natsume was also drawn in by the battle between Sirfetch'd and Conkeldurr.

Natsume walked toward the battle arena with Chansey and the others.

"Rotom, what's going on with this Conkeldurr?"

Rotom floated in front of Natsume and explained, "It says it's here to challenge."

"I see."

Natsume nodded slightly and then focused his gaze on Conkeldurr.

Name: Conkeldurr

Type: Fighting

Level: lv46

Ability: Guts

Moves: Facade, Bulk Up, Low Kick, Fire Punch, Rock Slide, Slam, Dynamic Punch

Inherited Moves: None

Potential: Gym Leader

"Conkeldurr!"

At that moment, in the battle arena,

Conkeldurr, caught in a stalemate, suddenly released the two concrete pillars it was holding and charged at Sirfetch'd with bare hands.

Fire Punch!

Conkeldurr's flaming fist came crashing down toward Sirfetch'd.

"Sirfetch'd!"

Conkeldurr clearly had a wealth of fighting experience, but Sirfetch'd's practical battle experience was no slouch either!

As Conkeldurr lunged at Sirfetch'd, it quickly moved its shield in front of itself.

"Iron Defense!"

Bang!

Although Sirfetch'd blocked the punch, the force of the impact caused its body to slide back.

A real Pokémon battle is never a turn-based game with just one move after another.

"Conkeldurr!"

Seeing Sirfetch'd knocked back by its punch, Conkeldurr quickly used Rock Slide!

Massive rocks began to condense in Conkeldurr's raised hands.

Boom!

Conkeldurr hurled the enormous rock forward, sending it crashing down toward Sirfetch'd.

"Sirfetch'd!"

Sirfetch'd looked up at the giant rock flying toward it and let out a low growl, quickly condensing Fighting-type energy on its long sword!

"Brick Break!"

"Sirfetch'd!"

Bang!

Sirfetch'd slashed down with its sword, and the oncoming boulder exploded dramatically.

Smoke filled the air!

Countless fragments of stone flew in all directions.

The energy protective barrier in the venue rose once more.

Conkeldurr was determined not to give Sirfetch'd a moment to breathe.

Conkeldurr picked up the two concrete pillars from the ground and charged toward Sirfetch'd again.

"Sirfetch'd!"

"Calm down, use Quick Attack to create some distance!"

Facing the prospect of taking another hit from Conkeldurr, Sirfetch'd instinctively used Quick Attack in response to Natsume's command.

"Conkeldurr!"

Conkeldurr swung the concrete pillars forward, but Sirfetch'd quickly ducked low, narrowly avoiding the edges of the pillars to increase the distance between itself and Conkeldurr.

"Conkeldurr!"

Conkeldurr turned, driving the concrete pillars into the ground, its muscles starting to bulge!

Conkeldurr used Bulk Up.

Natsume took charge of the battle.

"Sirfetch'd, use Swords Dance!"

"Sirfetch'd!"

A powerful energy surged from within Sirfetch'd.

The energy solidified into a blade!

The blade energy spun rapidly around Sirfetch'd's body like a sword formation, then merged back into Sirfetch'd!

"Conkeldurr!"

Conkeldurr lifted its weapon and charged toward Sirfetch'd once more.

"Sirfetch'd, Quick Attack in, then use Detect!"

Detect was actually a defensive move.

Its principle is to detect the opponent's attack trajectory and defend against it.

However, since it can detect the opponent's attack trajectory, it can also be used for offense.

At this moment, Sirfetch'd moved like a white streak of lightning, quickly closing in on Conkeldurr.

The two exceptionally stiff concrete pillars in Conkeldurr's hands, one held horizontally to the side, and the other swung down toward Sirfetch'd's body.

"Sirfetch'd!"

Sirfetch'd's sharp eyes are firmly fixed on Conkeldurr's movements.

As Sirfetch'd sees the descending pillar, it swiftly turns its body to the side.

At the same time, the long sword in Sirfetch'd's hand slices along the side of the concrete pillar aimed at Conkeldurr's wrist.

"Conkeldurr!"

Conkeldurr's pupils slightly contract as it watches this upward strike. It quickly releases the concrete pillar to dodge Sirfetch'd's attack.

This also creates an opening on the side of Conkeldurr's body!

"Sirfetch'd!"

Seizing the opportunity, Sirfetch'd decisively slashes at Conkeldurr's waist.

Brutal Swing!

Bang!

At this moment, Sirfetch'd, after successfully executing Swords Dance, displays incredible strength!

Conkeldurr's body is instantly sent flying.

"Conkeldurr!"

At this moment, both concrete pillars slip from Conkeldurr's grasp.

As Conkeldurr lands on the ground with its hands supporting it, just when it tries to stand up, Sirfetch'd rushes right in front of it.

"Sirfetch'd!"

Sirfetch'd points the long sword at Conkeldurr.

Conkeldurr looks at Sirfetch'd and slowly relaxes its fist.

Conkeldurr concedes defeat.

Sirfetch'd claims victory in the battle, earning 9823 experience points.

Sirfetch'd's level rises to 49.

Natsume smiles at Sirfetch'd and says, "Great job, Sirfetch'd."

"Sirfetch'd."

Sirfetch'd sheaths its sword and shield.

"Monferno!"

"Heracross~"

Infernape and Heracross begin cheering.

Timburr and Gurdurr glance at the defeated Conkeldurr with frustrated expressions.

Natsume surveys the group of civil-engineering Pokémon.

Natsume intends to have them stay and help construct the farm.

If they are willing to stay, then the farm will have a construction team.

"Today's luck is really good; I got to see an amazing battle."

"Truly worthy of being the Natsume gym leader, as soon as he commands a battle, he immediately lets Sirfetch'd, which was previously in a passive position, take control of the fight."

"Yet, that Conkeldurr is indeed strong."

At this moment, the spectators outside the arena are discussing the recent battle.

"This is the feeling I wanted."

"This is the kind of trainer I envisioned."

Ashi, excited, looks at Natsume and can't help but ask, "Natsume gym leader, how can I become as skilled a trainer as you?"
