Diglett, this type of Pokémon, is definitely one of the best helpers on the farm.
After they pass, the soil gets appropriately turned.
Their droppings also enrich the soil, so many farmers carefully raise them.
"Arcanine, where did you find this Diglett?"
Natsume asked Arcanine.
"Awooo~"
Arcanine pointed at the ground.
When Arcanine woke up that morning, it discovered something moving underground.
With one claw, Arcanine dug down and unearthed a Diglett.
"It seems today's luck won't be too bad."
Natsume took out a Poké Ball and aimed it at the Diglett.
Shake~ Ding~.
The first Diglett was successfully captured.
Natsume released the Diglett and then used Eternity Power to heal its injuries.
Soon, Diglett woke up.
This Diglett was not very high in level, only level seven, which is why it got knocked out by one claw.
"Diglett."
Diglett nervously looked at Dragonair, Serperior, and Arcanine surrounding it.
Diglett trembled.
"Don't worry, Diglett."
Natsume said to Diglett, "We're here hoping to find some companions to come back to the farm with us."
"My farm has a lot of land that needs to be cultivated."
"And there's plenty of delicious Pokémon food, like these hearty grains produced by my farm."
Diglett, as a Pokémon enthusiastic about cultivating land, looked curiously at the hearty grains Natsume held and stepped forward to take a bite.
Delicious!
The taste of premium farmland!
The nervous expression on Diglett's face immediately vanished, and its eyes sparkled.
"Diglett?"
Diglett wanted to know how big Natsume's farm was.
Natsume smiled and said, "Of course, it will get bigger and bigger!"
After thinking for a moment, Diglett looked at Natsume and said, "Diglett."
Diglett wanted to go back and ask its companions.
"Sure."
Natsume replied, "Go ahead, we'll wait for you here."
"Diglett~"
Diglett burrowed underground and headed off in the distance.
"Awooo?"
Arcanine was a bit worried that Diglett might run away.
"Don't worry."
Natsume patted Arcanine's big dog head: "It will come back."
"Of course, if it doesn't want to come with us, then even if we bring it back, it won't mean much."
"Because it will just run away again."
"Awooo~"
Arcanine understood.
"Ralts~"
Natsume looked at Ralts and said, "Alright, everyone, let's try Ralts's skill."
Although it was Ralts's first time cooking, its culinary talent was quite impressive.
It received unanimous praise from everyone.
Breakfast ended.
Natsume packed up the camp and prepared to head deeper into the cave.
Rumblr~
The ground shook.
"Awooo."
Arcanine called out ahead.
Diglett returned.
This was a small group of Diglett, along with a few Dugtrio.
"Dugtrio~"
The leading Dugtrio called out to Natsume.
"Diglett."
The first Diglett Natsume captured stepped forward to introduce everyone.
These are all relatives of Diglett.
They are all willing to follow Natsume to the farmable land.
"Dugtrio~"
The Dugtrio leader expressed that they wanted to go to a place that needed them more.
Name: Dugtrio
Type: Ground
Level: 1v386
Ability: Sand Veil
Move: Rototiller, Tri Attack, Sand Tomb, Dig
Potential: Gym
This Dugtrio has the highest level; it is their leader.
"Of course, no problem."
Natsume said happily, "Then let's go together."
"Ralts, help me out."
"Ralts~"
Ralts nodded, and then the Poké Balls on Natsume's body floated up.
Bang~
Beams of red light shot out.
Natsume successfully obtained five Dugtrio and twenty Diglett.
He used up half of the Poké Balls he brought.
"Let's go."
With the Dugtrio group acquired, Natsume's party continued to head deeper underground.
Although it was daytime outside, the cave was already pitch black.
Natsume took out a flashlight and shone it around.
The underground cave was incredibly large.
Natsume also discovered a pair of huge footprints.
"I remember the news said that Tyranitar comes here."
"Did that Tyranitar live here before?"
Natsume curiously asked Ralts.
"Ralts~"
Ralts nodded.
"Ralts."
Indeed, there lived a Tyranitar here.
But it was captured by a group of very bad humans.
"A group of bad people?"
Natsume thought about his own Larvitar Pokémon egg.
"Yes, there are a lot of bad people."
Ralts's youthful voice echoed in Natsume's heart.
Natsume muttered, "If it were a normal Trainer who got Tyranitar, it would definitely have made the news by now."
"It seems that Tyranitar is in trouble."
"It wouldn't be taken for some Pokémon experiment, would it?"
Natsume thought to himself.
Although Pokémon experiments have been strictly prohibited by various countries, there are always people conducting them in secret.
After all, the abilities of Pokémon are simply too amazing.
Recovering abilities.
Super strong physiques.
Teleportation capabilities.
Even the coveted immortality that everyone dreams of!
Moreover, humanoid Pokémon even have no reproductive barriers with humans.
According to wild legends, many powerful psychics and individuals with superhuman physiques throughout the history of this world have some Pokémon lineage.
This naturally stirs up greed among those insane scientists and ambitious individuals.
Flap~
Suddenly, in the dim underground cave, the sound of wings flapping echoed.
"What was that noise?"
Natsume curiously took out his flashlight and shone it ahead.
The light illuminated the rock wall above.
Looking at the scene above, Natsume almost dropped the flashlight.
The cave ceiling was densely packed with Zubat and Golbat.
They sensed the light from Natsume's flashlight.
And one by one, they woke up.
In an instant, Zubat filled the entire space in front of him.
"Oh no, I'm out of here!"
Natsume felt a chill run down his spine.
Ralts grabbed Natsume's hand and instantly vanished from the spot.
"Awooo?"
Arcanine was left behind.
What about me?
Flap~
A large group of Zubat suddenly rushed toward Arcanine.
"Ahhh~!"
Arcanine took a deep breath.
Boom!
A blazing flame instantly engulfed a large group of Zubat.
But their numbers were simply too many.
Amidst the flames, Zubat continued to charge toward Arcanine.
"Awooo."
Arcanine was panicking.
"Ralts~"
Ralts reappeared above Arcanine's head.
With a shake~
Zubat missed its target.
"Are you okay, Arcanine?"
Natsume sat on the ground, watching the newly reappeared Arcanine.
"Awooo~"
Arcanine shook its head.
Arcanine looked at Natsume and immediately puffed out its chest, acting as if it was ready to go back and take them down.
Natsume teased Arcanine, "Oh really? Should I have Ralts send you back?"
"Awooo"
Arcanine quickly backed away.
Natsume smiled, "Alright, I know you're strong."
Splashing sounds~
The sound of flowing water came from not far away.
Natsume shone his flashlight around and then took out a Poké Ball to release Aron.
"Aron~"
Aron looked around and then turned its gaze to Natsume.
Aron was a bit hungry.
Aron wanted to eat the iron pot on Natsume.
Natsume helplessly tapped on the steel of Aron.
Dong dong~
The sound was crisp.
"You can't eat the pot; it's the only one I have."
"When we get back to the farm, I'll buy you a few hundred pounds of iron blocks, how about that?"
Aron drooled.
Natsume chuckled at Aron's expression and then asked, "The super dangerous Pokémon you mentioned, is it nearby?"
Aron looked around and then ran forward.
"Aron~"
Aron signaled for Natsume to hurry and follow.
"Let's go."
Natsume and Arcanine followed Aron as they continued on.
Soon, Natsume came upon an underground river with rushing water.
"Aron~"
Aron pointed at the river.
"Where does this river lead?"
Natsume thought curiously and then took out his flashlight, shining it along the course of the underground river.
Ahead, there was a slope, and the underground river flowed downwards along it.
Below looked like a hollow.
Natsume shone the flashlight inside.
The hollow was deep, filled with broken rocks.
Natsume did not see any Pokémon inside.
"Dragonair."
Natsume took out Dragonair's Poké Ball.
"Dragonair~"
Dragonair floated above the underground river.
"Dragonair, go down and take a look, but be careful."
Dragonair nodded and then dove into the hollow beneath the underground river.
Meanwhile, in the underground river water,
Two pairs of sharp eyes suddenly opened.
They slowly moved their bodies and approached Dragonair.
"Ralts!"
Ralts sensed their aggressive emotions.
Ralts shared the vision it received with Natsume.
In Natsume's mind, the underwater scene appeared.
Two Kabutops were approaching Dragonair!
Kabutops truly was a rain killer.
Natsume, relying on Ralts's Inner Focus, observed their positions: "Dragonair, Aqua Tail!"
Underwater!
Ralts's voice rang in Dragonair's mind.
"Dragonair, Natsume said to use Aqua Tail."
Dragonair immediately swung its tail.
Water-type energy rapidly condensed at the tip of Dragonair's tail.
At that moment, Dragonair's tail looked as if it was connected to the entire river.
With a powerful swing, a huge wave surged around.
The entire underground river instantly began to boil.
Both Kabutops were swept by the Aqua Tail move.
"Kabutops!"
Kabutops quickly scattered, dodging backward.
Dragonair sensed their positions!
"Dragonair!"
Dragonair swiftly turned and charged toward one of the Kabutops.
Kabutops swung its two sickle-like claws.
"Kabutops!"
The sickles slashed toward the oncoming Dragonair.
"Dragonair~"
Dragonair took a deep breath.
Dragon Pulse!
Boom!
A violent explosion echoed underwater.
Above the river, a massive column of water erupted, splashing down like raindrops.
"Awooo!"
Arcanine anxiously paced above.
"Awooo!"
Arcanine ran back and forth at the edge of the underground river, looking eager to jump down and help.
"Calm down, Arcanine."
Natsume said to Arcanine, "You're a Fire-type Pokémon; don't jump in recklessly."
"Awooo!"
Arcanine looked very frustrated.
Under the water,
The other Kabutops was moving at high speed.
Its body moved quickly across the water's surface as it swung its sickle forward.
The sharp sickles sliced through the water!
"Dragonair~"
A Light Screen appeared behind Dragonair.
Bang!
Kabutops's two sickles struck the Light Screen fiercely.
The water rippled.
"Dragonair~"
Dragonair ignored it and wrapped up the first Kabutops's body, bursting through the water's surface.
"Dragonair~"
Dragonair threw this Kabutops toward Natsume.
Natsume immediately threw a Poké Ball at the Kabutops.
Shake~ Ding~!
Kabutops was captured.
"Ralts~"
Ralts suspended the Poké Ball in mid-air and then let it float toward Natsume.
Natsume reached out to catch it.
"Kabutops!"
From the water's surface, another Kabutops floated up.
Its gaze was locked on Natsume.
"Kabutops!"
Kabutops leaped from the water, swinging its sickle at Natsume.
"Serperior~"
At that moment, Serperior dashed out from Natsume's Poké Ball.
Vine Whip lashed out, instantly wrapping around Kabutops's body.
"Serperior~!"
Vine Whip swung Kabutops into the nearby wall.
"Kabutops!"
Using its sickle to prop itself up, Kabutops stood again and looked at Natsume.
Name: Kabutops
Type: Rock/Water
Level: 1v40
Ability: Swift Swim
Individual Values: HP 28, Attack 31, Defense 23, Special Attack 27, Special Defense 28, Speed 31
Move: Slash, Feint, Absorb, Harden, Protect, Night Slash, Aqua Jet, Mud Shot, Brine, Brick Break, Razor Shell
Inherited Moves: Bubble Beam
Potential: Gym
"Level 40, and it even inherited a move like Bubble Beam."
Natsume curiously sized up the Kabutops before him and asked, "Kabutops, did you originally live here, or did you come from elsewhere?"
"Kabutops!"
Kabutops swung its sickle, urging Natsume to release its companion.
"Don't be nervous."
Natsume took out a Poké Ball.
"Come out, Kabutops."
The Kabutops that emerged from the Poké Ball ran toward its companion.
"Hmm…"
Kabutops seemed surprised that Natsume so easily let its companion go.
This left Kabutops momentarily at a loss.
Natsume said kindly, "I'm sorry to interrupt your lives."
"I'm here to find companions."
"Do you want to come with me?"
The two Kabutops looked at each other.
"Kabutops!"
Kabutops looked at Natsume and gave its answer.
"Kabutops."
Kabutops told Natsume that they had been swept to this area by a storm.
They originally lived near an island deep in the sea.
There, their kin lived.
The island also had Pokémon like Dragonair.
Kabutops wanted to go home.
After hearing Kabutops, Natsume was a bit surprised.
It was clear that Kabutops was not extinct in this world.
This Kabutops was level 40.
It could not have been a Pokémon that lived since ancient times.
Kabutops's words confirmed that those ancient Pokémon thought to be extinct indeed still lived somewhere in the world.
Additionally, it mentioned that there were Pokémon like Dragonair on the island.
Natsume speculated that these two Kabutops likely came from the Dragon Island in legends.
According to legends, Dragon Island is the homeland of Dragon-type Pokémon.
There, the seasons are always spring, and the seawater is warm.
There is no war, no disaster, no disease.
This legendary place is a treasure that many ocean navigators dream of finding.
Natsume pondered for a moment before looking at Kabutops and saying, "Your home is likely on Dragon Island."
"I can't guarantee that I can take you home."
"But I will try to find this place."
"Kabutops!"
After hearing Natsume, the two Kabutops huddled together.
They began to communicate quietly.
They were discussing whether to follow Natsume and leave this place.
"Dragonair~"
Dragonair watched them and flicked its tail.
"Kabutops!"
Kabutops quickly made a decision.
They were willing to follow Natsume to live on the farm.
