Elf: I Am a Farmer

Chapter 104 Cattleya

Chiba Kaede treated Ralts' arrival and departure as just a minor episode in her life and didn't dwell on it. ✎🎉 ➅9𝓢𝓗ⓤx.匚𝑜𝓂 🎃💜

Over the next few days, he became busy again, or rather, he directed the elves to get busy.

There's no rush to develop the terraced garden with the thousand-leaf maple, so I usually only spend half a day working on it. However, the garden development is progressing quite quickly, and I believe it will be completed in a few days.

After all, their farm already has a mature excavation process, and as long as the main pangolin doesn't underperform, everything will go smoothly.

Chiba Kaede didn't waste the rest of his time either; he spent most of it on Torchic and the few Pokémon he had recently caught.

Magikarp and Feebas have now adapted to the environment of the artificial lake. Although it has been designated by Maple for use by Poliwag's group, Poliwag has not driven away other Water-type Pokémon from the artificial lake.

So Magikarp can still find many of its own kind here, but Feebas isn't so lucky. Fortunately, it was used to being a single fish and didn't think it was a big deal.

Chiba Maple didn't neglect their upbringing either. After arriving at Chiba Farm, he provided them with plenty of energy cubes, and the collision training between Magikarp and Feebas continued.

Through this process of accumulation and depletion, Magikarp and Feebas will surely grow stronger quickly.

For Torchic, Chiba Kaede still focuses on weight training, but now she has added a training program that involves battling against Diamond Smash.

For the Rock-type Pokémon Diamondback, Fire-type attacks are already halved in power, and coupled with its terrifying defenses, Torchic's current strength is simply insufficient to inflict much damage. 💔♜ 69nj.¢O 🍔🔥

However, the attack power of the small diamond is not very strong, which provides a basis for the balance of power between the two sides until one side makes a huge breakthrough in strength, which will break this balance.

Anyway, Chiba Kaede was quite enjoying watching the two sides engage in their mutual gua sha attacks. Terada Yuri and Takemoto Yui would also come over from time to time to watch their battle.

Even the bougainvillea plants that like to stay in the backyard joined in the fun and cheered them on. When both sides were almost out of energy, they would thoughtfully give them a Grassy Field skill to keep them going.

At that moment, Chiba Kaede seemed to hear Torchic and Diamond's inner thoughts: "Thank you, you idiots! I was just about to rest when you forced me to work overtime again!"

Just as the atmosphere on the field was at its most intense, a green figure suddenly appeared in front of Chiba Kaede.

"Um, Ralts, are you here to play again?"

Chiba Kaede was instinctively startled, but upon seeing that it was Ralts, she composed herself and smiled as she spoke to it.

"Wow, so cute!"

Terada Yuri and Takemoto Yui, who were initially startled, immediately had their eyes light up when they saw that it was Ralts.

"As expected, Ralts' charm is irresistible to both men and women; no one can dislike such a cute creature."

Chiba Kaede watched Terada Yuri, who was so enthusiastic about facing an elf for the first time, and thought to herself.

While he was still in a daze, Terada Yuri had already picked up Ralts. Ralts, suddenly lifted up, didn't resist, only showing a helpless expression in its eyes. ☮♕ 💘ඏ

It's as if it's saying, "I just can't resist you guys. My irresistible charm is beyond words, so I'll reluctantly let you humans hug me!"

Upon seeing this, Chiba Kaede couldn't help but give Ralts a thumbs up, thinking to himself that it was indeed a Pokémon that could sense emotions, conveying so much meaning with just a glance.

"Ralts, so that's where you've been sneaking out lately!"

As Chiba Kaede watched the two women interact with Ralts, a somewhat aloof female voice suddenly came from behind him.

This startled him. He turned around and looked at the other person, only to find that she was a girl a few years older than him. What was most impressive about the girl was her long, golden hair, which could almost be used as a cloak.

"Superpowers!"

Looking at Gastly, who was frozen in mid-air, Chiba Kaede knew that the other party must be an extremely powerful psychic. Only in this way could they appear behind him silently and freeze Gastly, who was trying to warn him.

"Hello, could you please release Gastly first!"

Chiba Kaede said to the girl in front of him.

If the other party still refuses to release Gastly, then they are an enemy, not a friend. At that point, he will no longer be polite. They have entered his farm for no reason and made him misunderstand. He will have to fight them first.

After hearing Chiba Kaede's words, the girl didn't react much, but simply glanced at him indifferently.

Suddenly, the atmosphere became a little awkward, and Little Diamond and Torchic, who had been practicing scraping therapy, stopped in unison.

Just as the atmosphere became tense, Ralts, sensing something was wrong, instantly teleported to the girl's side and began to talk to her.

In the end, the girl was persuaded by Ralts to release the psychic power that had been holding Gastly captive.

Gastly, now free to move, knew how terrifying the girl before it was, but it still stood firmly between Chiba and the girl to prevent the trainer from being harmed.

This girl is none other than Cattleya, one of the Elite Four of the Unova region. She happened to be on vacation in Slateport City. The reason she came to Hoenn is that relatively few people here know her, which allows her to enjoy her rare vacation more freely.

The reason she appeared at Chiba Farm was because Ralts had been frequently using Teleport to leave her sight recently. Although Ralts would occasionally leave when she was in the Unova region, it wasn't as frequent or as long as it was now. That's why she specifically followed Ralts here today.

Gadria felt that someone was deliberately trying to lure her Ralts. She had seen many such people before in the Unova region, because Pokémon are generally simple-minded and can easily gain favor if someone is kind to them.

Based on this impression, she just used her superpowers to control Gastly, intending to give Chiba and the others a warning.

However, after communicating with Ralts through telepathy, she learned the whole story. She realized that no one was trying to kidnap Ralts on purpose, but rather that her own Ralts was greedy and wanted to come and get food and drinks by being cute, so it sneaked over to the farm.

"I'm so sorry, I was being a bit rude!"

Although Cattleya is somewhat arrogant, she will still take responsibility for her mistakes.

"Um, is this Ralts your Pokémon?"

Chiba Kaede had originally planned to call upon the spirits to fight, but this sudden turn of events caught her off guard, and she could only ease the tension by talking to them.

"Yes, my name is Cattleya. I came here after tracking this child. I thought it had been lured by bad people, which is why I acted rudely just now. I'm so sorry!"

Cattleya explained the whole story of the misunderstanding to Chiba Kaede, as she didn't want to cause any unnecessary confusion.

Upon hearing the name Gadria, Chiba Kaede's eyes narrowed. Combined with the other party's terrifying psychic powers, he instantly knew who the girl in front of him was: Gadria, one of the Elite Four of the Unova region.

As far as Chiba Kaede knew, Gadriya, like Sabrina, was born with powerful superpowers. Once she lost control of her emotions, her superpowers would go out of control and cause great destruction. However, judging from her performance just now, Chiba Kaede felt that she should be able to control her superpowers now.

After all, if her superpowers had gone out of control just now, Chiba Kaede felt that the others would be in grave danger. However, judging from the fact that she could easily use her superpowers to freeze Gastly, she should now have control over her abilities.

"Oh, I see. Since it was a misunderstanding, let's let it go. Miss Cattleya, would you like to come inside for a drink?"

Chiba Kaede didn't want to stay with such a terrifying person, but since the other party had come to his farm, he couldn't just kick him out, so he politely invited him.

"Okay, thank you for your help!"

Gadalia could tell that Chiba Kaede hadn't genuinely invited her as a guest, but rather wanted her to leave quickly. However, she felt she couldn't be so easily dismissed!
