Pokémon: My Farm Adventures

Chapter 57: Chapter 57:The Aron That Eats Kitchen Knives and the Mega Stone



The huge explosion nearly knocked Fujiwara down from the sky.

Yanma quickly grabbed Fujiwara and flew a bit higher.

In the distance, a flock of Spearows was startled and took to the air.

They looked toward this area with fearful expressions.

The small Pokémon around also hurriedly moved away from here.

Standing on the ground, Natsume felt an incredible surge of energy.

The ground shook under this wave of impact.

Serperior's Leaf Storm and Meganium's Petal Dance were both moves of tremendous power.

Their collision kicked up massive clouds of dust around them.

Natsume exclaimed, "What astonishing power."

Natsume thought that if a Gym Leader's Pokémon battle could create such a commotion, what would it be like at the Champion level?

Their battle would probably cause the sky to crumble and the earth to split.

"Yanma, disperse the smoke."

In the sky, Fujiwara instructed Yanma, which was carrying him.

Yanma used Gust on the smoke.

Soon, the smoke cleared away.

Meganium, struggling to support itself, barely managed to look ahead.

Serperior swam forward from behind a few fallen trees.

"Meganium."

Meganium's vision went dark, and it collapsed to the ground.

Battle Task: Three Consecutive Victories Completed

Quest Reward: Super Ability Enlightenment

Natsume and Ralts flashed and instantly appeared beside Serperior.

"Are you okay, Serperior?"

Natsume used Eternity Power to help Serperior recover its strength.

"Serperior~."

Serperior gently shook its head.

While the moves collided, Serperior instantly darted into the surrounding woods.

The woods helped absorb most of the damage for Serperior.

In contrast, Meganium took the full brunt of the energy impact, which was why it fainted.

Through this battle, Natsume gained a clearer understanding of Serperior's strength.

In a one-on-one scenario, Serperior was already capable of battling Gym Leader Pokémon.

If Serperior were to use Leaf Storm a few more times, then, assuming Serperior had enough stamina, it would probably be the case that ordinary Gym Leader Pokémon couldn't withstand the power of Serperior's moves.

Of course, this does not mean that Serperior is invincible.

Some special moves and Pokémon abilities can still counter Serperior's Contrary.

For example, Ice-type Pokémon move: Haze.

"Yanma, let's go down quickly."

Fujiwara hurriedly instructed his Yanma to take him to the ground.

Fujiwara took out Medicine Spray and applied it to Meganium's wounds.

Soon, Meganium woke up.

Fujiwara sighed in relief.

"How embarrassing."

Fujiwara looked at Natsume awkwardly and said, "I thought I had the ability to teach you a lesson, but I ended up being schooled by you."

Natsume politely replied, "Your Meganium is still very strong."

"If I had known about my Serperior's abilities in advance, I bet you wouldn't have played so passively."

Fujiwara lightly shook his head and said nonchalantly, "A loss is a loss; there's nothing more to say."

"However, with your strength, I think you could definitely apply to be a Gym Leader."

"And if your farm expands, the Gym Leader status could even help you avoid some taxes."

"You'd also find that many things would open up for you."

Natsume listened to Fujiwara's words and felt a bit tempted.

"But I think I might not have that much time to deal with challengers."

Fujiwara casually said, "I was just mentioning it."

"However, if you are genuinely interested, you don't have to personally participate in every single gym challenge."

"I remember a Gym Leader of an Electric-type gym who built a robot to handle challengers for him."

"After all, each gym has different rules."

"Just be happy with whatever you choose."

Natsume listened to Fujiwara's words, showing a thoughtful expression.

The farm definitely needs to be expanded.

If I become a Gym Leader, then buying land would be much easier.

The gym can be built in the Rice Fragrance Village below the farm.

This way, the Pokémon in the farm won't be disturbed.

Then I can just throw Pokémon that enjoy battling directly into the gym.

For example, Farfetch'd.

This way, I won't have to deal with challengers suddenly showing up.

And it will also increase my Pokémon's battle experience.

With this thought, Natsume said to Fujiwara, "Thank you for your suggestion; I will seriously consider it."

Fujiwara smiled, "You're welcome."

Fujiwara looked around: "Alright, I've stayed here long enough."

"I'm going back."

Natsume waved to Fujiwara, "Then, see you."

"See you, and I hope you can capture the companion you want."

After Fujiwara finished speaking, he headed out of the forest with Meganium.

"Ralts!"

Ralts's horn suddenly moved.

A Pokémon is stealing our pot!

"Ralts!"

Ralts anxiously looked at Natsume: "Our pot is gone!"

"Huh?"

Natsume paused: "The pot is gone?"

"Who would steal our pot?"

Ralts hurriedly said, "It's not stolen; it's been eaten!"

After saying this, Ralts grabbed Natsume and they instantly vanished.

Left behind, Dragonair and Serperior looked at each other and quickly ran toward the underground cave.

"Aron~!"

An Aron was devouring the pot that Natsume had left inside.

It was eating very quickly.

In just a few bites, the large pot was gone.

Aron then set its sights on Natsume's kitchen knife.

"Hey, stop that!"

Just as Aron was about to continue eating, Natsume quickly called out to it.

"Aron~"

Aron looked at the suddenly appearing Natsume and bit down on the kitchen knife with a crunch.

As Aron swallowed the kitchen knife, it ran toward the nearby hole.

"Ralts!"

Ralts hurriedly used Inner Focus to try to stop this Aron.

However, Steel-type Pokémon naturally have resistance to psychic abilities.

Aron charged forward, breaking free from Ralts's Inner Focus.

Aron burrowed into the nearby hole.

"Serperior~"

At that moment, Serperior had also followed in.

Serperior's Vine Whip shot out quickly, entering the hole.

Soon, a wildly struggling Aron was pulled up by Serperior's Vine Whip.

"Aron!"

Aron's short legs kicked wildly in the air.

"Serperior~."

Serperior flicked its Vine Whip, slamming Aron against the wall.

"Serperior~!"

Serperior's crimson gaze locked onto the fallen Aron.

Feeling Serperior's stare, Aron shivered and immediately became obedient.

Natsume checked this Aron's data.

Name: Aron 

Type: Steel/Rock 

Level: 1v20 

Ability: Sturdy 

Individual Values: HP 29, Attack 30, Defense 31, Special Attack 25, Special Defense 25, Speed 20 

Move: Tackle, Harden, Metal Claw, Rock Tomb 

Inherited Moves: Head Smash 

Potential: Gym 

This Aron's potential is quite good.

Its individual values show that its Defense is maxed out, but it has some weaknesses.

It's worth mentioning that Aron's final evolution, Aggron, is also skilled at planting.

In the wilderness, Aggron will even actively move soil and plant tree seedlings if its territory is not visually appealing enough.

Natsume took out a Poké Ball and looked at Aron, saying, "Since you ate my pot, you will have to work off your debt."

As Natsume spoke, he threw the Poké Ball directly at Aron.

Shake~ Ding~!

The Poké Ball shook symbolically a few times before it stopped struggling.

"Come out, Aron."

Aron fearfully glanced at Serperior before moving a little closer to Natsume.

"Aron, how long have you lived here?"

Natsume squatted down beside Aron and asked.

Aron shook its head slightly.

"Aron."

Aron couldn't remember clearly; it seemed like it had been a long time.

"Do you know if there are any Pokémon in this underground cave?"

"Or are there any particularly peculiar places?"

After thinking for a moment, Aron began to describe the underground world as it saw it.

Deep within the cave lives a group of flying creatures.

They start flying outward as soon as they come up, and there are always a few that like to land on it, nibbling at something.

However, they can't break its defense at all.

So those flying creatures just fly away again.

Natsume thought what Aron was referring to was probably Zubat.

There are also three long creatures that are always burrowing around in the ground.

These are Dugtrio.

The two types of Pokémon Aron interacts with the most are these.

Additionally, deep underground, there is a fast river that is home to two very dangerous Pokémon.

They are very fast in the water, their arms resembling sickles.

As Natsume listened to Aron's description, a Pokémon's image began to emerge in his mind.

Ancient Pokémon: Kabutops.

Kabutops is considered an extinct Pokémon in academic circles.

However, occasionally people claim to have seen this Pokémon.

Thus, some believe that ancient Pokémon like Kabutops might still be surviving somewhere.

Natsume set a goal: first to capture ten Diglett or Dugtrio.

After that, he would go look for the two dangerous Pokémon that Aron mentioned.

Natsume opened Farm Story.

There were two completed tasks.

The rewards had not yet been claimed.

The reward for the battle task of three consecutive victories was a set of Mega Stones drawn from existing Pokémon.

Natsume clicked to draw.

Notice: You have obtained Gardevoir's Mega Stone.

Would you like to retrieve it?

Natsume clicked Retrieve.

The Mega Stone and Key Stone all appeared in Natsume's hands.

The system also thoughtfully turned them into a pair of necklaces.

"Ralts, come here."

Natsume called Ralts to come to him.

Natsume squatted down and then placed the necklace around Ralts's neck.

Ralts looked at Natsume, who was close to her, and her small face couldn't help but blush slightly.

Natsume smiled and said, "It looks good on you, Ralts."

"Take a look, do you like it?"

Natsume opened the selfie mode on his phone and held it in front of Ralts.

"Ralts~"

Ralts looked at herself in the camera and showed a happy expression.

Ralts held the Mega Stone with both hands against her chest.

Ralts really loved the Mega Stone that Natsume had given her.

Farm Task: Expand More Shipping Channels Completed

Quest Reward: Rare Candy1, Type Gems Draw1, Secret Technique Draw*10

Natsume decided to save the Rare Candy.

Now, Natsume had two Rare Candies.

He clicked Draw for the Type Gems.

The spinner for eighteen types of gems began to rapidly spin in front of Natsume.

You have obtained a Fire Gem.

Natsume took the Fire Gem and handed it to Arcanine.

Arcanine bit down and crushed it before swallowing it.

By using the Fire Gem, Arcanine's level began to increase to level 323338.

Arcanine learned a new move: Heat Wave.

Feeling the intense flame energy within, Arcanine howled excitedly.

It took a deep breath and blew a wave of hot air forward.

The temperature around them instantly rose significantly due to the effect of the hot wind.

Next was the Secret Technique Draw.

You have obtained teachable techniques: Quick Attack, Protect, Thunderbolt, Focus Punch, Double Team, Aerial Ace, Low Sweep, Air Cutter, Fire Punch, Earthquake.

Natsume now had ten additional techniques.

Among the drawn techniques, Protect could be directly taught to Serperior.

As for the others, he would keep them for now.

They could be used to teach other Pokémon on the farm as needed.

After claiming the rewards, Natsume checked the time; it was already past nine o'clock.

Natsume stretched his body and said, "Alright, everyone, let's get to bed early today."

"Tomorrow we will go catch Diglett."

"Dragonair~"

Dragonair jumped into the Poké Ball.

Serperior did the same.

Aron stared at the Poké Ball for a moment.

"Aron~"

Aron opened its mouth, wanting to taste the Poké Ball.

Natsume quickly called out to stop it: "No, don't eat that!"

Ralts reacted quickly.

It gently tapped the button on the Poké Ball with Confusion.

Aron was instantly sucked inside.

"Ralts~"

Natsume and Ralts both sighed in relief.

"Ralts, you—"

Natsume originally wanted to ask Ralts where it planned to spend the night.

However, Ralts had already teleported into Natsume's sleeping bag.

Seeing this, Natsume could only hope he wouldn't have any strange dreams.

"Ralts, just to be clear, you are not allowed to use Telepathy on me unless it's something special."

Normally, Ralts can only perceive the emotions of humans, such as good and evil, joy, anger, and sadness.

But Pokémon with Telepathy can directly sense the thoughts of others.

In the game, this ability allows Pokémon in double matches to perceive their teammate's moves, avoiding damage from them.

"Ralts~"

Ralts agreed.

Natsume didn't have any strange thoughts about Ralts.

But looking at Ralts inevitably made him think of Gardevoir.

When he thought of Gardevoir, some strange images he had accidentally seen in the past would surface unbidden.

Those images were definitely not suitable for Ralts to see.

That night, Natsume slept soundly and even had a strange dream.

In the dream, the scene showed Gardevoir holding Natsume's hand as they patrolled the farm together.

The farm had become very large.

The vast fields were filled with hearty grains.

When the wind blew, it looked like waves rolling across the ocean.

Mareep and Miltank were leisurely grazing on the nearby hill, soaking up the sun.

Combee and Beedrill were collecting honey in Florges' flower field.

Natsume didn't know what he and Gardevoir talked about.

Suddenly, the distance between them began to shrink.

Then—

"Awooo~"

Arcanine's excited howl echoed.

Natsume woke up from the dream.

Opening his eyes, he saw Arcanine's big dog head poking into the tent, excitedly barking at Natsume.

Arcanine had caught a Diglett.

Natsume picked up his phone to check the time: it was six in the morning.

Natsume sighed helplessly at Arcanine and then crawled out of his sleeping bag.

At that moment, Serperior and Dragonair also emerged from their Poké Balls.

In between them was a fainted Diglett.

Ralts had already learned how to cook.

It was using Natsume's spare pot to make porridge.

Ralts hugged its knees, and for some reason, its face was very red.

It stared blankly at the pot cooking the rice porridge.

Natsume looked at Ralts and couldn't help but wonder if Ralts had secretly used Telepathy to peek at his dream.

Just as Natsume thought this, Ralts's little head began to shake back and forth like a rattle.

"I didn't! I didn't peek at Natsume's dream!"

The corners of Natsume's mouth twitched slightly.

This little guy definitely used Telepathy…
