Chapter 60: Chapter 60:Heracross Joins the Farm!
Natsume squatted by the river and reached out to touch Feebas's face.
"Thank you, I really like this gift."
Feebas wiggled its tail and dove into the water.
Kabutops exchanged glances and then jumped into the stream as well.
Natsume thought he would customize a giant heart-shaped mold for Feebas tomorrow.
Natsume returned to the room.
The room was very clean, thanks to Minccino.
"Minccino."
Natsume walked over to Minccino, who was wiping the glass, holding a Shiny Stone.
"Minccino~"
Minccino put down the towel and approached Natsume.
"Minccino, this is for you."
Minccino reached out to take the Shiny Stone that Natsume offered.
As soon as Minccino touched the Shiny Stone, the light of evolution enveloped its entire body.
Minccino evolved into Cinccino.
Cinccino's Level rose to 28.
"Cinccino~"
Cinccino looked at its new body, appearing very excited.
The change in Cinccino's physique after evolution was not significant, looking just over half a meter tall.
Its gray body now had some white fur, resembling a scarf, and felt very comfortable to touch.
Additionally, the oils on its body have excellent restorative and protective properties for dry skin, which makes its market price extremely high.
The oil produced by Cinccino is especially favored by female consumers.
A small jar of cream made from its oil can sell for nearly 100,000 Pokémon Coins.
The price is astonishing.
Natsume pushed open the door to the guest room.
Leavanny was still guarding Larvitar's Pokémon egg.
"Leavanny~"
Leavanny informed Natsume that Larvitar's life activity had become much more vigorous.
Larvitar was about to be born.
Natsume placed his hand on Larvitar's Pokémon egg.
He could feel the life inside stirring.
"I think we will be meeting soon, Larvitar."
With a slight shake,
Larvitar's Pokémon egg wobbled slightly.
After releasing his hand, Natsume said goodbye to Leavanny and headed upstairs.
"Buneary~"
Buneary had already prepared the bath water for Natsume.
After walking in the underground mine all day, Natsume definitely felt quite tired.
Natsume took off his clothing, walked into the bathtub, and leaned back.
So comfortable~
"Buneary~"
Buneary moved a small chair to place under its feet.
It stood on the small chair behind Natsume, helping him massage his shoulders.
Another Buneary pulled on Natsume's arm and gently massaged.
This feeling was so relaxing.
"Buneary, who taught you all this?"
Natsume couldn't help but ask.
"Buneary~"
Buneary learned it from the TV.
"Buneary?"
Buneary asked Natsume if he didn't like it.
Natsume paused for a moment and honestly replied, "I do like it."
"Ralts~"
Ralts stood behind the bathroom door, peeking in cautiously at Natsume lying in the bathtub.
Noticing Ralts, Natsume waved his hand, "Ralts, do you want to take a bath together?"
Ralts came out from behind the door.
Ralts flashed and instantly appeared in Natsume's arms.
Natsume rubbed Ralts, who was sitting on him, and then wet its body with water.
"Ralts~"
Ralts lifted its face in comfort.
Steam slowly rose, obscuring everyone's figures.
After soaking in the hot bath and enjoying Buneary's massage service,
As soon as Natsume hit the bed, drowsiness immediately washed over him.
A breeze from the fields blew through.
A Soothe Bell emitted a soothing bell sound.
Natsume fell asleep instantly.
The effect of the Soothe Bell was clearly excellent.
Since Natsume had gotten this thing, he had never had trouble sleeping.
The night gradually deepened.
The Jirachi placed on the table suddenly began to float gently.
A peculiar energy enveloped the entire farm.
On the roof,
Noibat patrolled the territory energetically.
The deeper the night, the more excited I get~
Noibat stopped on a Pecha Berry tree.
It looked over the entire farm and felt refreshed and elated.
This entire farm is my territory~
Noibat thought happily.
Suddenly, Noibat's eyes widened in surprise.
It saw a gentle energy spilling out from Natsume's room, spreading around.
Under the moonlight, the hearty grains quickly sprouted, blossomed, and matured completely!
The grain heads bent the rice stalks.
At the same time, a faint fragrance suddenly wafted into Noibat's nose.
Noibat looked down.
All the Pecha Berry trees around had bloomed!
The surroundings resembled a sea of pink flowers.
Noibat was shocked.
It swayed and nearly crashed to the ground.
"Noibat!"
Noibat quickly adjusted its body and hurriedly flew toward Natsume's room.
In the moonlight,
The Diglett looked very excited.
The empty plots of land around the farm had basically all been tilled.
"Diglett~"
They cheered at the scene around them.
Inside the room,
Natsume was still sleeping soundly.
The anxious Noibat originally intended to wake Natsume.
But the sound of the Soothe Bell calmed Noibat down.
Looking at the sleeping Natsume, it thought surprising Natsume tomorrow would be nice.
Noibat flew out from the large balcony.
Noibat perched on the roof.
It looked at the current scene in the farm and couldn't help but become completely entranced.
The sky gradually brightened, and white clouds danced in the distance.
The fields were bathed in the morning sun.
The earth gradually awakened.
"Heracross~"
Five Heracross peeked out from the woods nearby.
They cautiously looked toward the Pecha Berry trees.
"Awooo~"
Arcanine and Houndoom noticed them.
"Houndoom!"
The Houndoom Leader shot a flame directly at them.
"Heracross!"
This frightened the group of Heracross.
They ducked down and then turned to flee back into the woods.
However, just as Arcanine and Houndoom were about to turn and leave,
The group of Heracross quietly returned.
They stood just outside the farm's boundaries, looking very aggrieved, and gazed pleadingly at Arcanine and Houndoom.
"Houndoom."
"Awooo~"
The expressions of Houndoom and Arcanine were somewhat sympathetic as well.
After they talked for a while, Houndoom stayed back and looked at them.
Arcanine ran towards the farm.
Inside Natsume's room.
The morning breeze blew through the pulled-back curtains.
Natsume woke up in bed.
Opening his eyes, Natsume looked outside.
Ralts was sitting at the edge of the large balcony, swinging its little legs and gazing at the scenery of the farm.
Ralts turned to look at Natsume and smiled.
"Natsume, it's so beautiful outside!"
Natsume, bare-shouldered, walked barefoot on the very clean floor that Cinccino had tidied up.
Natsume walked towards Ralts: "When the hearty grains ripen, it will be even better here."
Natsume reached the large balcony, and just as he finished speaking, a wave of golden color instantly filled his view.
The hearty grains in the land had all ripened.
Peach blossoms bloomed all around.
With the wind blowing, the fields of hearty grains swayed gently.
Swadloon was walking in the fields.
Under the Pecha Berry tree, fallen pink petals floated around.
Diglett and Dugtrio were leisurely moving through the peach woods.
Arcanine, like a flame, was running towards him with passion and vigor.
Natsume was a bit stunned, then immediately remembered Jirachi.
Natsume hurriedly opened Farm Story.
Sleeping Jirachi's blessing has visited your farm.
Hearty grains and plump beans have ripened; please harvest them promptly.
The peach blossoms of the Pecha Berry tree have bloomed.
Notice: Jirachi's limited-time event is about to begin.
Event Name: Jirachi of Seven Nights
Event Description: Jirachi possesses the ability to give life to the earth; even barren land can gain life from Jirachi. Please protect Jirachi until it awakens.
Event Rules: After Jirachi awakens, all crops planted within the current territory will mature once within a week.
"It truly is Jirachi's power!"
Natsume scanned the surroundings of the farm.
The nearby wasteland had been completely cleared thanks to the efforts of Dugtrio and Diglett.
The edge of the farm now connected with the living territory of wild Pokémon.
If Natsume wanted to continue increasing the farm's area, he would need to chop down those trees.
Alternatively, he could buy the Rice Fragrance Village located below the small hill.
Hokkaido is a hilly region.
The province is rich in forests.
Rice Fragrance Village is a small village nestled within a mountain forest.
Due to its remote location, many people have already moved away.
The only means of transportation to the outside world is the bus that comes here once in the morning.
If Natsume wanted to buy all of this land, it wouldn't be too difficult.
"After all, I still need to apply to be a gym leader."
Natsume thought about the future development in his mind.
However, right now, the important thing was to start harvesting the hearty grains!
"Awooo~"
Arcanine ran to the area below the large balcony.
Natsume jumped down from the large balcony on the second floor.
Natsume found that after eating too many crops from his farm, his physical condition seemed to have improved significantly.
"Awooo~"
Arcanine informed Natsume about the group of Heracross.
"Heracross?"
Natsume sat on Arcanine's back: "Let's go take a look."
Natsume said to Ralts, who was sitting on his shoulder: "Ralts, please notify Kabutops as well."
"Have them come in front of the hearty grains field, and let Sandslash teach them how to harvest the hearty grains."
"Ralts~"
Ralts nodded.
In the stream behind the house, Kabutops, who was sleeping at the bottom, suddenly opened its eyes.
It jumped out of the water and then ran to the front of the hearty grains field.
Sandslash was already waiting for them there.
"Kabutops!"
Kabutops waved its sickle at Sandslash.
Sandslash looked enviously at the sickle in Kabutops' hand.
A Pokémon that was born for farming!
Sandslash began to demonstrate how to cut the hearty grains.
Kabutops understood it at a glance.
It stepped into the hearty grains field and swung the sickle in its hand.
The hearty grains ears easily fell to the ground.
Serperior had also arrived in this hearty grains field.
It swung Vine Whip as Leaf Blade condensed.
"Serperior~"
Swadloon walked in the land, and they along with Buneary helped collect all the harvested hearty grains.
Working in the land for Swadloon was like working in a kitchen.
If they got hungry, they could eat the leaves scattered all around.
After cutting down the hearty grains, the remaining rice stalks were also valuable.
In fact, parts like these can be made into feed.
Feed made from the rice stalks of hearty grains is top-quality food for Pokémon like Miltank and Mareep.
"Awooo~"
Arcanine carried Natsume in front of the Heracross.
"Heracross."
Heracross looked nervously at Natsume, while Natsume's Houndoom stared at them from behind.
Natsume's gaze swept across the five Heracross in front of him.
Their levels were not high, averaging around level 20.
The highest level was a level 23 Heracross.
Such strength was actually pretty good for this forest.
"Eh."
Natsume suddenly looked surprised at the Heracross in the middle.
Name: Heracross
Type: Bug/Fighting
Level: 21
Ability: Guts
Moves: Tackle, Leer, Arm Thrust, Fury Attack, Endure, Aerial Ace, Horn Attack
Individual Values: HP 31, Attack 31, Defense 28, Special Attack 26, Special Defense 28, Speed 29

Potential: Near Champion
"Heracross."
The Heracross in the middle scratched its head, confused about why Natsume was looking at it that way.
Natsume asked, "Where did you come from?"
"Heracross~"
After looking at Natsume and being asked, Heracross quickly pointed its hand towards the forest behind.
They originally lived in a forest nearby.
However, not long ago, a group of Beedrill suddenly migrated over.
The number of Beedrill was quite large, around thirty or so.
Heracross couldn't fight them and had no choice but to leave its original territory.
After leaving there, they discovered this farm.
Heracross had actually been here once before, but Natsume wasn't present at that time.
So Houndoom gave the group of Heracross another beating.
Normally, if Heracross is driven out by other Pokémon in their territory, they will continue to seek a place to live.
However, the Pecha Berry trees here were thriving too well.
They were reluctant to leave this place.
"I understand."
Natsume looked at the Heracross and said, "I can let you stay here to live."
"However, in return, you must help me work on my farm."
The Heracross looked at each other and quietly discussed.
"Heracross."
Heracross pointed at the Pecha Berry tree.
It wanted to know if staying meant it could drink the juice from the Pecha Berry trees.
"Of course you can."
Natsume replied, "Also, it's not just the Pecha Berry trees; there will be many more trees here in the future."
"Heracross."
The Heracross immediately nodded in agreement to Natsume's request.
"Ralts."
Ralts waved its small hand.
In front of Natsume, five Poké Balls appeared in an instant.
Natsume said, "The Poké Balls are our contract."
"However, I won't keep you inside the Poké Balls all the time."
"This is to prevent any other trainers who mistakenly enter here from taking you as wild Pokémon."
Heracross didn't mind this.
They just wanted to stay and drink the tree juice.
"If you agree, then come on in."
The Heracross stepped forward and placed their hands on the Poké Balls.
Natsume felt this resembled the act of signing a contract.
Shake~ Ding~!
The Poké Balls captured all the Heracross inside.
The farm gained a new Pokémon: Heracross!
"Come out, Heracross."
Natsume released them once again.
"Heracross, the hearty grains in the land are already ripe."
"Let's harvest the hearty grains together first."
"Once the hearty grains are harvested, you can go enjoy the tree juice here."
Natsume reminded them, "But don't drink too much from any one tree."
Heracross nodded.
Natsume said to a Houndoom behind him, "Take them to the land."
"Sandslash will tell them what to do."
"Houndoom~"
Houndoom stepped forward, signaling for the group of Heracross to follow.
Natsume thought to himself as he watched the Heracross: they were drawn in by the environment of the farm.
The range of the farm would continue to grow.
In the future, many wild Pokémon would surely be attracted here as well.
How humans, Pokémon, and nature can coexist harmoniously has always been a significant issue in this world.
However, Natsume believed that such problems would find balance within his farm.
