"Sewaddle~"
Swadloon used Vine Whip to wrap around Takekawa's body.
"Sewaddle~"
Swadloon signaled for Victreebel to open its mouth.
Victreebel looked at Natsume in confusion.
Is this something I can eat?
Natsume: "...."
Natsume was also a bit puzzled by this scene.
"Swadloon, what do you want to do?!"
Misaki quickly said, "Put them down!"
Swadloon tilted its head.
Isn't this okay?
Wild Victreebel can eat anything.
Natsume helplessly said to Victreebel, "If you're hungry, you can eat some berries first."
"The fruits in the orchard are all edible."
The Victreebel from the laboratory is not like the wild ones.
Since they only eat manually cultivated things, their wild instincts haven't developed as much.
"Heracross, take Victreebel and the others to the orchard."
"Heracross."
Heracross nodded and signaled for Victreebel and the others to follow.
After Heracross took a couple of steps, he noticed Bulbasaur was still standing in place, so he waved at Bulbasaur.
"Heracross?"
Heracross nodded.
Bulbasaur joined them.
Heracross walked next to Bulbasaur in a slightly creepy manner: You smell so good.
Bulbasaur looked at Heracross in confusion: ?
Heracross: Can I get closer and smell?
Bulbasaur hesitated for a moment but eventually agreed.
Heracross leaned in to sniff the seeds on Bulbasaur's back, which resembled garlic.
"Heracross~"
Heracross continued to ask: Can I taste it? I promise I won't do anything.
Without waiting for Bulbasaur to respond, Heracross bit down.
"Bulbasaur."
Bulbasaur looked at Heracross in horror and quickly used Vine Whip.
Smack!
After Vine Whip pushed Heracross away, Bulbasaur hurriedly ran towards Natsume.
Natsume laughed at the scene: "Heracross, you scared Bulbasaur."
"Heracross."
Heracross scratched its head.
The seeds behind Bulbasaur also secrete juice, which many Bug type Pokémon love to eat.
However, Grass type Pokémon are not too fond of that.
Natsume said to Bulbasaur, who had run up beside her, "Bulbasaur, just stay by my side for now."
"Bulbasaur."
Heracross looked regretfully at Bulbasaur before continuing on with Victreebel toward the orchard.
"Audino, Chansey."
Natsume took out the Poké Ball for the special Eevee.
Bang~
The Poké Ball opened.
This Eevee was still asleep.
"Audino."
Audino picked Eevee up off the ground.
Audino had taken care of many Eevee when in school, so it immediately sensed the problem with Eevee.
"Audino."
Audino looked at Eevee with a pained expression.
Natsume said, "This child's physical condition is very poor; please help take care of it for a while."
"Chansey."
Chansey answered and then walked with Audino toward the cabin.
Natsume then turned her gaze to Tyranitar and Zoroark.
"Tyranitar, are you going back to the Aoi District?"
Tyranitar shook its head.
It was not going back to the Aoi District.
Tyranitar had lived in the Aoi District because it was where Jirachi slept.
That was why the Aoi District had become so abundant.
Now, since Jirachi's sleeping place had turned into the farm, Tyranitar would naturally move as well.
"Larvitar~"
At that moment, Larvitar jumped out of Tyranitar's arms.
Larvitar ran toward the cabin and then came back holding an empty Poké Ball.
"Larvitar."
Larvitar raised the Poké Ball high.
Tyranitar understood Larvitar's intent and reached out to touch the Poké Ball.
Farm's high-level combat power increases by one!
Zoroark's expression seemed a bit hesitant.
Seeing this, Natsume said to Zoroark, "Zoroark, why don't you and Zorua stay here for a while?"
"If you don't like it here, you can decide whether to leave later."
"Zoroark."
Zoroark glanced at Natsume and nodded slightly.
After temporarily arranging all the Pokémon in the farm, Natsume said to Lopunny, "Lopunny, please take Misaki back to the room to rest."
"I'll head down the mountain to talk to Yamada Kaichou."
"Lopunny~"
Lopunny took Misaki towards the cabin.
"Lopunny, where do you usually sleep?"
Misaki asked as she followed Lopunny.
"Lopunny~"
Lopunny pointed to the sofa.
It sometimes sleeps here.
Lopunny brought Misaki to Natsume's room.
Sometimes, Lopunny would also lie on Natsume's bed to sleep.
After finishing what it said, Lopunny pointed in the direction of the bamboo grove.
Lopunny asked Misaki if she wanted to soak in a hot spring.
Misaki immediately felt tempted: "Is that allowed?"
Lopunny nodded and then helped Misaki take a towel.
Misaki changed out of her clothes in Natsume's room.
A pair of soft breasts suddenly popped out.
Wrapping herself in the towel, Misaki followed Lopunny to the hot spring in the bamboo grove.
She placed the towel to the side and then comfortably lay down.
The hot spring was still steaming.
"Hmm~"
Misaki gently exhaled and looked up at the stars in the night sky.
"This place is really nice."
Natsume and Gardevoir arrived at the gym below the farm.
"Natsume gym leader."
Yamada Kaichou rushed over to Natsume and Gardevoir.
Natsume nodded slightly: "Thank you for making the trip."
Yamada Kaichou smiled wryly: "Not at all."
"I just didn't expect such a large incident to happen."
Yamada Kaichou's eyes caught sight of the two bodies thrown aside, and he waved to the staff behind him.
League personnel immediately stepped forward to carry them away.
"Isn't this Takekawa, the gym leader from Sakura?"
"How did he die here?"
Although he had mentally prepared himself, the staff member still gasped upon seeing who the deceased were.
"Don't say too much; hurry up and leave."
Another person whispered.
For them, the death of a regional-level gym leader was already a significant matter.
Natsume was unconcerned about their conversation.
"Yamada Kaichou, I would like to ask how the Association typically handles the Pokémon of people like this."
Yamada Kaichou looked at Natsume and explained, "Their Pokémon will be sent into a secret realm."
"We have a very stable secret realm near our province's Cloudtop City."
"This secret realm has lost its exploration value, so it is used to imprison some troublesome Pokémon."
"Most of these Pokémon are those whose trainers have had their rights revoked."
"Or they are Pokémon who have lost their trainers."
Revoking a trainer's rights in this world is equivalent to stripping political rights.
Simply put, it means that everything related to Pokémon is no longer your concern.
Yamada Kaichou continued, "Therefore, the Cloudtop secret realm is also called Pokémon Prison."
"Every province has such a secret realm prison."
After listening, Natsume asked, "Do these Pokémon have sentences?"
Yamada Kaichou shook his head: "That is not necessarily the case."
"Although it has the nickname of a prison, these Pokémon are not kept there indefinitely."
"The league organizes excellent trainers every year to visit those Pokémon in these secret realms."
"If they can gain the Pokémon's approval, they can take them away."
Yamada Kaichou added, "Additionally, if you, Natsume gym leader, are interested, I think you can certainly apply for a pass to go in and out freely."
Regional-level and above gym leaders can freely enter and exit such Pokémon prisons.
Natsume nodded slightly after hearing that and took out Takekawa's Poké Balls.
"These Poké Balls contain the Pokémon we have imprisoned; you can take them away."
"Once I finish dealing with matters at the farm, I will pay a visit to the Cloudtop secret realm."
Yamada Kaichou took the Poké Balls: "No problem."
"Additionally."
Natsume looked at Yamada Kaichou and said, "I want to take over the fossil ecological park next to the Aoi District."
"The fossil ecological park?"
Yamada Kaichou looked at Natsume in confusion: "That park isn't even built yet; what do you need it for?"
Natsume replied softly, "What I mean is, I need a complete fossil ecological park."
"I think this project is great, and it would be a shame to stop it now, so let's continue building it."
Yamada Kaichou immediately understood Natsume's intent.
A regular large Pokémon ecological park, if built from scratch, would have a budget of at least 10 billion Pokémon Coins.
The fossil ecological park project is designed to provide suitable homes for those ancient Pokémon once they are revived.
After all, different Pokémon have different environmental needs.
Moreover, these Pokémon are those that should have lived in ancient times, millions of years ago.
Creating a habitat for them is no easy task.
Yamada Kaichou did not immediately agree but said to Natsume, "I will help you discuss this with the higher-ups."
"Okay, let's go with that."
Yamada Kaichou hesitated and then said, "Natsume, about Jirachi—"
Natsume turned around and looked at the farm surrounding the gym.
The Hearty Grains here had all matured.
Under the moonlight, the fields in the thousand-acre farm seemed to have turned into a golden ocean.
The wave-like grain tops swayed gracefully in the evening breeze.
Each Hearty Grain looked like the splashes of waves at sea, shimmering brilliantly under the moonlight.
Natsume gazed at this scene and softly said, "Jirachi is asleep."
"Jirachi will be resting for a while."
Yamada Kaichou looked at Natsume and remained silent for a moment before saying, "Natsume gym leader, I will take my leave now."
Natsume nodded slightly.
Yamada Kaichou and the association members left the area.
After standing here for a while, Natsume stretched and said to Gardevoir beside her, "You must be tired today too, right?"
Gardevoir gazed at Natsume gently.
Natsume smiled and said, "Let's go soak in a hot spring together."
Gardevoir nodded slightly.
In an instant, Natsume and Gardevoir disappeared from the spot.
Bamboo Grove - Hot Spring!
Misaki stood in the hot spring.
The moonlight gently fell on her porcelain-like skin.
The hazy rising mist enveloped her in a dreamlike glow.
Her wet long hair lay on her shoulders, and the droplets shimmered softly under the starlight.
Water trickled down her smooth nose.
It flowed over her rosy lips, down her snowy neck, and over her pair of soft white rabbits.
Natsume stared blankly at this scene.
Misaki looked at the suddenly appearing Natsume, her expression going from confusion to panic, like a blushing apple.
"Lopunny?"
Lopunny tilted its head.
"Ah!"
Swish~
With a startled cry, Misaki hurriedly buried herself in the hot spring.
"I'm sorry."
Natsume awkwardly turned around: "Since it's the first time having a girl overnight here, I might not be used to it."
"I forgot to check."
Misaki's voice came out with bubbles: "No, it's okay, gurgle gurgle."
"I also consider this place my home, gurgle gurgle, so I got a bit too casual."
"Lopunny?"
Lopunny asked Natsume why she hadn't come down yet.
The Lopunny didn't think it was an embarrassing situation.
Natsume felt a bit troubled.
How to explain the difference between men and women to Pokémon?
Swish~
Another Lopunny stood in the hot spring and splashed some water at Natsume.
"Lopunny~"
Natsume looked at Lopunny and said, "Lopunny, let's wait a bit before we play."
"Lopunny?"
Lopunny looked confused and then turned to Misaki.
Misaki whispered, "No, it's okay."
"If you're in the water, you can't see much anyway."
Feeling a bit dizzy, Misaki realized she didn't even know what she was saying.
She wanted to leave first.
However, she noticed that the towel seemed a bit small and couldn't fully wrap around her body.
This made Misaki feel a bit troubled.
Gardevoir looked at Misaki and then glanced at Natsume.
Human emotions are always quite complex.
Having gone through some experiences in special situations often triggers strange thoughts.
Yet, due to moral concepts, people suppress their desires.
Seeing that Misaki had said that, Natsume felt it was pointless to keep pretending.
Natsume took off her clothes and lay back into the hot spring water.
Lopunny sat on top, letting Natsume lean on its lap.
Lopunny gently massaged Natsume's shoulders.
I must say, Lopunny's massage skills had improved considerably.
"Natsume."
Misaki looked at Natsume and asked, "How did you meet Jirachi?"
Misaki wanted to know the story of Natsume and Jirachi.
"Oh, that."
Natsume reminisced, "I found Jirachi in the Aoi District."
"At that time, I was really taken aback."
As Natsume spoke, a smile appeared on her face: "I hadn't even reacted yet."
"I thought to myself, it's no surprise it's the Aoi District; there are so many Pokémon, even Jirachi is here."
As Misaki listened to Natsume's words, a smile spread across her face.
The tension she had been feeling began to relax.
Natsume's voice was pleasant, deep, and magnetic.
It was like the gentle and soft breeze of late autumn.
His soft storytelling made Misaki unconsciously want to get a little closer.
"Although Jirachi is a legendary Pokémon, its personality is just like that of an ordinary Pokémon."
"It has a strong curiosity and is interested in everything."
"And it has a strong competitive spirit."
Natsume laughed and said, "This guy, Dragonite, always challenges Jirachi to a speed contest every time it thinks its strength has evolved."
"And the result, of course, is that it loses miserably every time."
"During one of their matches, they almost flew out of the country."
As Misaki listened to Natsume's story about her and Jirachi, she felt that Natsume seemed to be glowing, filled with an inexplicable charm.
Misaki thought: Their story is like that of a prince and a legendary Pokémon in a fairy tale.
Who could resist such legends?
Natsume continued, "In the morning, Jirachi loves to practice taikyokuken with everyone."
"Would you like to see the video of Jirachi practicing taikyokuken with us?"
Misaki nodded, "Sure."
Natsume took out her phone and leaned closer to Misaki.
Misaki turned her cheek, watching the video of Jirachi throwing punches, and couldn't help but say, "Jirachi is really adorable."
Natsume smiled at Misaki and said, "Right?"
"Yeah."
In a daze, the two suddenly realized they had leaned against each other.
Their breathing began to blend together.
Thump~ Thump~
This was the sound of their heartbeats.
At some point, Gardevoir had already led Lopunny outside.
The bamboo grove was very quiet.
The evening breeze gently brushed by, occasionally causing one or two bamboo leaves to drift down.
Natsume's figure unconsciously leaned forward.
Misaki closed her eyes.
The sudden frowning of her brows made Misaki appear a bit pained.
But soon, Misaki's body relaxed completely.
The originally calm hot spring water rippled.
The water's ripples accompanied by soothing sounds spread out in circles.
A splash of crimson flowed out, quickly merging into the hot spring water.
Dark clouds floated, covering the moon in the sky.
Booming~
Thunder rumbled above.
It looked like a heavy rain was coming tonight.
Under the moonlight, inside the cabin.
The shadows of people intertwined.
