Elf: Start your slow-paced life after becoming a farmer

"I'm back!" Carl called out as usual after opening the door, and then invited the guests to sit down on the sofa in the living room.

"What would you like to drink? Tea, coffee, or cola? Or perhaps lemonade?" Carl asked casually.

“Lia and I will just have some black tea,” Zhu Lan said to Karl with a smile, holding Cattleya’s small hand.

"For me, lemonade is fine." After thinking for a moment, Chao Meng made the safest choice.

“Okay. Please wait a moment.” Carl nodded, and before he could speak further, his thoughtful little aunt stood up and floated into the kitchen.

As soon as Carl sat down on the sofa, he heard a "thump thump thump" sound coming from the stairs leading to the second floor.

Carl turned his head and saw his big son, the giant shark, rolling down the stairs like a basketball, making cheerful noises.

"Gible?" Cynthia looked at the Pokémon that was extremely familiar to her, and immediately realized something was wrong. "A Shiny Gible?"

“That’s right.” Karl stood up, quickly went to the stairs, picked up the round shark, sat back down on the sofa, and said with a smug look on his face, “And I hatched it, you know.”

Ignoring Karl's boasting, Zhu Lan reached into her handbag and took out a "cookie" as long as her forearm, then waved it in front of the round shark.

The round shark initially paid no attention, but after smelling the fragrance wafting in the air, tears streamed down its face.

However, Karl's usual training clearly worked. Although it really wanted to eat the food in the human female's hand in front of it, it still turned its head to look at Karl.

Carl nodded at the longing look in the round shark's eyes, and the round shark immediately poked its head out and took a big bite of the biscuit, then stretched out its two little hands to grab it and start munching on it.

"These must be the snacks you prepared for the Land Shark, right?" Karl asked with a smile, looking at Orchid with certainty.

“That’s right, our Grit Shark really loves to eat them.” Zhu Lan looked at the Grit Shark, who was blankly munching on a cookie, and a look of nostalgia appeared on her face. “Grit Shark is definitely cuter.”

Just then, a filthy yellow mouse appeared out of nowhere above Karl's head. Looking at the guests in the living room, it turned its head and called out, "Pika pika~ (Why are there so many people today? Is there a big meal coming up?)"

"Pikachu appeared out of thin air?" Gadriya stared wide-eyed at the Pikachu that suddenly appeared above Karl's head and exclaimed in a low voice.

In Cattleya's perception, this Pikachu was perfectly normal; in terms of both body and spirit, it was just an ordinary Pikachu. So, here's the problem.

Is a Pokémon that looks, feels, and sounds like Pikachu really Pikachu?

The answer was naturally no, but apart from Cattleya, no one present was surprised by the appearance of this Pikachu.

Karl and Mewtwo weren't surprised because they both knew that the Pikachu's true identity was Mewtwo. Of course, Mewtwo wasn't unsurprised; his surprise lay in why Mewtwo would appear in Karl's house.

Cynthia wasn't surprised because Karl had surprised her far too much; a mere Pikachu that could teleport was nothing compared to a legendary Pokémon.

However, Carl's next words shattered the calm expression on Zhu Lan's face.

Karl reached out and grabbed Pikachu off his head, then kneaded the red electric sacs on Pikachu's cheeks: "Stop fooling around, Mewtwo, come and greet the guests."

“Wait, Dream? Karl, you…”

Before Zhu Lan could finish speaking, a not-too-bright white light immediately shone from the surface of the "Pikachu" that Karl was holding. When the white light dissipated, a pink kitten that looked a little dirty appeared in front of everyone.

“Mew! (That’s right, I am the legendary Dream Lord!)” Dream seemed very satisfied with the shocked expressions on Gadria and Cynthia’s faces. It broke free from Karl’s evil hand, floated in front of Cynthia and Gadria, covered its mouth and laughed slyly.

At this moment, Cynthia was no longer paying attention to the cheeky laughter of the pink-haired kitten in front of her. She turned to Karl and asked, "Could it be that this Pokémon is the legendary Mewtwo, which was extinct long ago?"

“It is indeed a dream, but I want to correct one thing: dreams have never been extinct; they just rarely appear in front of humans,” Karl explained.

Compared to Orchid, when Gadriya saw Dream's cheeky expression, she instinctively wanted to use her powers to pull him into her arms and pet him for a while.

However, compared to Dream, Gadriya's "little" superpower is clearly not enough.

In a flash, the dreamlike figure disappeared from Gadalia's sight, followed by a flying kick that landed squarely on the back of Gadalia's head.

"Mmm! (How dare you use your superpowers to capture Lord Dream? Did you eat the heart of a martial arts bear master or the gall of an ancient sword leopard?)" Dream looked at Cattleya, who was fixing her hair, with a smug expression.

"Lia." Zhu Lan called out softly to Cattleya, and Cattleya, who was blushing slightly, immediately became much more obedient.

Cattleya initially thought she could use her telekinesis to capture the seemingly harmless pink kitten, but now it seems that the pink kitten is not so easy to catch.

"Is this kitten named Dream?" Cattleya murmured to herself, clearly unaware of what the name Dream meant.

“Legend has it that Mew is the common ancestor of all Pokémon, and its genes contain information about all Pokémon.” Cynthia glanced helplessly at her friend beside her. “Now you know how powerful it is, right?”

Upon hearing this, Gadria looked at Mewtwo sitting innocently on Gible's head with some surprise. Although she had never heard of Mewtwo before, she knew from Cynthia's introduction how precious this Pokémon was.

Of course, this means that Dream knew that Gadriya didn't have any bad intentions towards it, and only wanted to catch it. Otherwise, Dream wouldn't have just used a flying kick without any energy to attack Gadriya.

“Ahem, Carl, now can you tell me why I need to find that ‘collector’?” Mewtwo suddenly asked.

“Let Cynthia tell you about this,” Karl said with a smile, holding Garchomp. “Don’t underestimate her, this Miss Cynthia is currently the champion of the Sinnoh region.”

Mewtwo was no stranger to the word "champion." After leaving New Island, he used the phone that Karl gave him to learn a lot about human society. The champion of a region can only be the strongest person in that region.

So, is that woman who looks exactly like a human beauty standard the champion of the Sinnoh region?

Thinking of this, Chao Meng turned her head and looked Cynthia up and down. Although she had never fought Cynthia, the calm and composed demeanor she exuded was enough to show that she was no ordinary person.

“Wait, what collector?” Cattleya looked at Karl suspiciously, then turned to look at her friend sitting next to her.

"Hmph, Zhu Lan, why don't you explain it to her?" Karl said, seemingly adding fuel to the fire.

After hearing Karl's words, Cattleya felt like the sky had fallen. As Cynthia's best friend, what important thing was Cynthia hiding from her?

“Lia, I didn’t want to trouble you with this, after all, you’re about to take over as King Padia, and you’ll definitely be very busy in the future.” Zhu Lan glanced at Karl quickly before explaining to Cattleya, “According to the information I received, the three legendary birds in the Kanto region are being coveted by some people with ulterior motives, so I asked Karl to find that person, and Karl then passed the task on to this Mr. Muse here.”

"I see." Cattleya nodded first, then looked at Zhulan with a somewhat aggrieved expression, without saying a word.

Just as Zhu Lan was about to say something, the sound of a door opening came from the front door, and then Dr. Yamanashi, who looked somewhat tired, walked in from outside.

"I'm back." Professor Yamanashi said habitually, then he noticed Cynthia, Cattleya, and a Pokémon he had never seen before sitting on the sofa.

“Cynda, and Miss Cattleya, what are you doing here?” Dr. Yamanashi said, then turned to look at the calm Mewtwo, and finally cast a questioning look at Karl: “And who is this?”

"Thank you for your hard work, Doctor." Karl stood up and walked to Professor Yamanashi's side, introducing him: "This is Mewtwo. Strictly speaking, he is Mewtwo's relative."

"what?"

Chapter 260 The First Time I Felt Pleasure in a Superdream

Despite being shocked by Carl's words, Dr. Yamanashi clearly wouldn't ask for any more information about Mewtwo at this time.

“Hello Mewtwo, I’m Professor Yamanashi, and also Cal’s guardian, well, I used to be.” Professor Yamanashi looked at Mewtwo and extended his hand to him.

Having learned about humans, Mewtwo knew that humans liked to use a greeting called "handshake" when they met, so he extended his hand and shook hands with Professor Yamanashi, then introduced himself: "Mewtwo, a Pokémon that is searching for its purpose in life."

Although Dr. Yamanashi, as a researcher, was very interested in this "dreamlike relative," he also knew that the other party was not the kind of Pokémon that was easy to get along with.

Therefore, when faced with the Superdream that displayed intelligence no different from that of humans, Dr. Yamanashi simply responded with a kind smile.

"Dr. Yamanashi, did you just come back from Orange Academy?" Ran recalled Dr. Yamanashi's schedule for the day, and then, as if realizing something, she raised an eyebrow at Dr. Yamanashi.

“I haven’t forgotten the Doctor. I already talked to him about it beforehand.” Karl noticed the slightly teasing look in Zhu Lan’s eyes and casually explained.

“Yes, that’s true.” Dr. Yamanashi looked at Chikuran. “But Chikuran, did you discuss that matter with this brat?”

Listening to Dr. Yamanashi's words, Carl realized that Dr. Yamanashi was also one of the people who knew about this matter.

Noticing Karna's surprised look, Dr. Yamanashi simply winked at him: "Actually, it was my suggestion to have Takayuki come to you first."

"Huh?" Carl was dumbfounded. In his opinion, Dr. Yamanashi was not the kind of person who liked to cause him trouble, especially something that seemed to be related to the safety of the world.

Before Karl could speak further, the martial arts master, wearing an apron, appeared in the living room at some point: "Dinner's ready."

Although Dr. Yamanashi could not understand the words of the Martial Arts Master as accurately as Carl, after living with him for so many years, Dr. Yamanashi could still roughly understand what the Martial Arts Master wanted to express.

"The food is ready, let's eat and chat," Dr. Yamanashi said, leading the way towards the restaurant.

After everyone was seated, Zhu Lan and Jia Deliya looked at the table full of delicious food and looked at the martial arts master sitting calmly next to Karl with some surprise.

"It did all of this?" Gadriya looked at the Martial Arts Bear Master with some surprise, her tone full of disbelief.

“Of course, my chef Xiong’s culinary skills have been recognized by Master Haidai.” Carl’s tone was very proud, as if he had cooked the meal himself.

Looking at Karl's smug expression, Gadriya clicked her tongue under her breath, though she really wanted to retort, "You didn't cook these meals, what are you so proud of?"

However, Cattleya's good upbringing (presumably) wouldn't allow her to do so, since she was now a guest of the Karl family, and she was willing to observe such etiquette.

Meanwhile, Mewtwo was equally amazed by Martial Arts Bear's culinary skills, or more accurately, by Martial Arts Bear's "unconventional" behavior.

In Mewtwo's view, Urshifu, as the strong one who defeated it, should not be studying "cooking" which does not have much effect on improving strength. After all, in the minds of most Pokémon, strength is everything.

However, after taking the first bite of the Mapo Tofu made by Martial Arts Master Xiong, the spicy, salty and fragrant taste, as well as the smooth texture of the tofu, brought Chao Meng a heartfelt joy.

Since its birth in the laboratory, aside from the nutrient solution, the best food Mewtwo has ever eaten is the nutritional meal made by Ms. Joey, who was under his mind control.

Chao Meng never imagined that mere food could bring him such an indescribable and wonderful experience.

He prides himself on being a transcendent being, devoid of base desires, and has never had the thought of "enjoying" anything. In his view, all "temptations" are stumbling blocks on his path to becoming the strongest.

Yes, Mewtwo hasn't completely given up on becoming the "world's strongest Pokémon." In its view, the defeat in the battle against Urshifu is just an obstacle on its path to becoming stronger.

Given enough time to train, he will still be the strongest Pokémon in the world.

If Karl knew what Mewtwo was thinking at this moment, he would definitely associate him with the world's best top laner.

However, in Karl's opinion, Mewtwo does indeed have the potential to continue growing, although both Mega Mewtwo X and Mega Mewtwo Y are very common in the games.

However, they all live in the real world, and no matter which Mega Evolution Mewtwo masters, his strength will be greatly enhanced, so he won't be easily defeated by other Pokémon.

Carl originally intended to continue the conversation at the dinner table, but since everyone was engrossed in their food, he decided to avoid discussing anything inappropriate.

Perhaps because the food prepared by Master Martial Arts was so delicious, it wasn't long before all the food on the table was devoured. Karl even noticed the somewhat unsatisfied expression on Mewtwo's face.

After dinner, everyone moved to the living room again. Since a super-sized dishwasher had been installed during the last major renovation of the farmhouse, the boring and troublesome task of washing dishes had disappeared from Carl's home forever.

Sipping the hot tea that Espeon had just handed him, Professor Yamanashi wore a very contented expression: "Karl, I didn't expect you to be retired even earlier than me."

“Oh, no, no, the farm is planting summer crops tomorrow, and I’m going to be involved.” Carl waved his hand. “I’m not old enough to retire yet.”

After hearing Carl's words, Zhu Lan looked at Carl with some surprise: "Does that mean you, Carl, also need to be involved in the farm's specific affairs?"

“Of course, is that strange?” Karl casually leaned back in his sofa chair, picked up the Espeon nestled on the armrest, and hugged it. “This is my farm. It would be strange if I let Pokémon do everything, wouldn’t it? Although I’m not as efficient as everyone else, I still need to do my part as the owner of the farm.”

Zhu Lan nodded thoughtfully. Originally, Zhu Lan thought that Karl took over the farm only because it was an inheritance left to him by his grandfather, but now it seems that Karl is also very interested in running the farm.

As a transmigrator from Dongda University, Carl's farming genes were etched into his soul. He felt uncomfortable if he didn't plant something on such a large piece of land. That's farming!

"So, Carl, how do you and Rosamund Kwan plan to investigate that matter?" Dr. Yamanashi asked, taking a sip of tea.

Chapter 261 Dr. Yamanashi: Is this correct?

"So, Carl, you're planning to hand over the investigation to Mewtwo?"

After listening to Karl's explanation, Dr. Yamanashi nodded knowingly. Although he was conservative about whether Mewtwo could find any relevant clues, he also understood that Karl would never do anything he wasn't sure of.

After discussing the prophetic stone tablets, Cynthia and Gadriya stood up to say goodbye and leave. Karl didn't try to stop them, after all, Gadriya was still eyeing him covetously.

After seeing off Cynthia and the other two, Carl returned to the living room. He looked at Professor Yamanashi and Mewtwo, who were sitting silently on the sofa, and then asked, "Mewtwo, have you invented anything interesting lately?"

"...No, I've put the research on hold since I took them away from the new island." Mewtwo's tail shook a little anxiously. "After all, I don't have any legitimate channels to buy research equipment."

After hearing Mewtwo's words, Karl nodded in understanding. The reason Mewtwo was able to build the new island was because he used his psychic powers to "borrow" many resources and devices.

Having reformed, Mewtwo obviously won't use its superpowers to do those things anymore.

However, after recalling the plot of Mewtwo Part 2, Carl felt that he should still give Mewtwo some support, since Team Rocket wouldn't let Mewtwo off so easily.

“Mewtwo, if you don’t mind, I’d like to briefly explain the techniques you’ve mastered to the Doctor.” Karl continued, keeping an eye on Mewtwo’s expression. “With the Doctor’s help, you can continue your research. If you invent any interesting gadgets in the future, you can also entrust the Doctor with their production and sales, which will save you a lot of trouble.”

Upon hearing this, Chao Meng gave Carl a deep look, and finally nodded slightly.

Meanwhile, after hearing Karl's words, the Doctor also became curious about what Karl was about to say. What kind of technology did Mewtwo possess that made Karl so "respectful" of him?

So, in the following time, Carl gave Dr. Yamanashi a brief overview of Mewtwo's previous "works".

After listening to Karl's introduction, Dr. Yamanashi subconsciously picked up his tea and took a sip. Although the technology of cloning Pokémon appeared in the Pokémon academic community many years ago, no one has mastered this technology so far, at least not openly.

As for the "Dream Ball" that Karl mentioned, the fact that such an outlandish technology could actually be realized made Dr. Yamanashi look at Mewtwo with more approval.

As a researcher, Dr. Yamanashi still values ​​Mewtwo, a "genius," very much. Although Mewtwo's research focuses more on "technology" than "Pokémon," the talent he displays is still terrifying.

“In fact, if possible, I suggest that Mewtwo look into invisibility technology,” Carl suggested.

"Invisible?" *2

Mewtwo and Professor Yamanashi didn't understand why Karl would make this suggestion. Karl continued, "Mewtwo, do you think Team Rocket would give up on you so easily?"

“No.” Mewtwo answered without hesitation.

“While your superpowers are indeed very strong, you probably can’t shield yourself from the observation of mechanical devices, can you?” Carl said, pointing to the corner of the ceiling.

Dr. Yamanashi and Mewtwo both looked in the direction Karl was pointing, where they saw a private camera installed in the corner.

"If Team Rocket uses some kind of surveillance method to discover the island where you and your partners are, what do you think they will do?" Carl looked at Mewtwo's ugly expression and added the last blow, "Even if you have strong strength, your companions do not. If people from Team Rocket catch them and threaten you, what will you do?"

As Karl spoke, the scene Karl described flashed through Mewtwo's mind. The flames of anger burned Mewtwo's reason. If it were the Mewtwo of the past, he might have already lost control of his superpowers by now, but he remained calm, or at least appeared to be.

“So, if you can develop a technology to hide where you live now, then this problem will be solved.” Carl said, as if remembering something, “Of course, there is another way.”
