Elf: I Am a Farmer

Chapter 112 Sowing

After resolving the tentacle lily issue, Chiba Kaede placed it in the backyard, where it and the Bellflower learned the signature skill, Grassy Ground, from the Jumpluff clan. 🎅😾 ❻9sina.com/claws🐉♧

Since being baptized by Chiba Maple's life energy, Tentacle Lily has put away her previous indifferent attitude and become very kind, which is why Chiba Maple dares to let Tentacle Lily come into contact with other spirits.

During this time, Torchic and DiamondCutter underwent basic training every day. Due to her busy schedule, Chiba asked Gastly to supervise their training, only occasionally taking the time to check on their progress.

Because Chiba Kaede needed to use her life energy a lot during this period, the number of pink dots in the diamond on the top of the small diamond didn't actually increase much.

Little Diamond, who spends all its time wandering around the turkeys except for training, doesn't seem to mind much. Now, besides its daily training, it enjoys spending its time with the turkeys, strolling around the farm.

Perhaps because it had always lived in a dark environment, it was filled with curiosity about the bright world outside, which is why it wanted to go out and see different things.

Torchic and Diamondcutter's favorite place is the orchard. Not only can they play with many Pokémon there, but they can also enjoy delicious berries from time to time. It's practically the most coveted place for Pokémon on the farm.

Armwyn continues to train alongside Heracross; both of them are practically battle maniacs, feeling uncomfortable if they don't spar a few times a day. ♛🍮 ➅9ѕ𝕙𝓤Ж.Ć𝔬𝐌 ☟🐯

The only downside to Machop is that Heracross spends too much time searching for and consuming tree sap each day, during which time Machop can only do some basic training on his own, which isn't very effective.

Since accepting the task of looking after the rare fruit trees from Chiba Maple, Mosquito Coil has been very serious. Not only does it personally water the rare fruit tree seedlings every day, but it also arranges for the Mosquito Coil Tadpoles in its group to patrol around the clock to ensure that these fruits can grow healthily to the greatest extent possible.

The reason for this is that Chiba Maple assured it that after these rare fruit trees bear fruit, it would give a portion of the fruit as a reward for taking good care of these fruit trees.

Mosquito Coil might not care much about ordinary tree fruits, but these high-level rare tree fruits are very helpful in improving its strength.

In the wild, these high-grade tree fruits are usually occupied by powerful dominant Pokémon, and any other Pokémon that tries to approach them will be attacked and driven away.

When Mosquito Coil was still a Mosquito Tadpole, it had witnessed the scenes of Pokémon fighting over rare berries more than once. The bloody scenes were still vivid in its mind, and back then it didn't even have the right to get close.

After dealing with the tentacle lilies, Chiba Kaede began to work on the large-scale planting of Gracidia flowers.

Of course, while it's called large-scale planting, the number of Gracidia flower seeds he collected is probably enough to fill one layer of terraces, and the terraces that Pangolin has cultivated in the entire terraced garden are as many as 10 layers.

However, he was already very happy to be able to harvest these seeds. Now, more and more of the shuttlecocks have learned the Grassy Terrain skill. With them releasing the Grassy Terrain skill every day, based on the experience of planting Gracidia flowers this time, it will only take a little over a month for this batch of Gracidia flowers to fully mature.

The current Gracidia flower seeds from the Thousand-Leaf Maple have had inactive seeds removed and have been optimized using life energy. However, they still need to be soaked in nutrient solution for a certain period of time before they can germinate.

Once the Gracidia seeds have germinated, they can be sown.

Chiba Maple wasn't in a hurry, since the seeds would germinate in about 1 to 2 days once they had a sufficient supply of nutrients.

Once the Gracidia flower seeds are successfully planted, Chiba Maple will need to consider taking on the remaining gym challenges. He has already obtained 5 gym badges, and only needs to obtain 3 more to challenge the Rainbow Tournament.

However, with only four months left until the opening of the Rainbow Tournament, he felt he couldn't delay any longer.

After all, he still needs to set aside some time to give his Pokémon some special training after completing the gym challenge. Otherwise, with his current Pokémon lineup and strength, it's hard to say what kind of ranking he can achieve in the Rainbow Tournament.

"All the Gracidia flower seeds have been planted. Now we just need to wait for them to grow. I'll need your help during this time!"

Two days later, Chiba Kaede said to Terada Yuri, who was following behind him, with emotion.

Since the seeds had already sprouted, Chiba Kaede brought Terada Yuri to the garden terraces early this morning to sow the seeds.

Chiba Kaede originally planned to plant the seeds herself with the spirit, but Terada Yuri showed extraordinary enthusiasm for planting the Gracidia flower, so Chiba Kaede could only follow her wishes and plant the seeds with her.

Terada Yuri has her own ideas about this. She wants to participate in the construction of the terraced garden as much as possible. The current terraced garden overlaps with the small garden she had as a child. She wants to use the terraced garden to revive the hope that was destroyed in her childhood.

So, the scene unfolded where Chiba Kaede was digging a hole with a hoe, Terada Yuri was scattering seeds into the hole, and then covering the seeds with soil.

After all the seeds were planted in the terraced fields, Chiba Kaede's clothes were soaked with sweat, and Terada Yuri was in no better shape, covered in mud from head to toe, even her usually fair face was covered in mud.

However, looking at the fruits of their labor, the two were filled with a sense of accomplishment. This was the starting point of their Gracidia Flower Sea Project, and at this moment, they seemed to already see the future scene of flowers blooming everywhere.

"I'm leaving this place in your care from now on, Yuri!"

Chiba Kaede said to Terada Yuri somewhat embarrassedly.

After all, the seeds of the Gracidia flower have only just been sown, and there is still much to be done. However, it is indeed unreasonable for him, the one in charge, to leave at this time and push all the blame onto Terada Yuri.

"Boss, go ahead and pursue your dreams. This is also the garden of my dreams, and I will do my best to make it thrive."

Terada Yuri looked at Chiba Kaede with a determined gaze and said.

She fully supports Chiba Kaede's desire to participate in the Saiyu Tournament, and has always done her best to help her boss with logistical support.

She felt that taking care of the garden was not a burden, but rather a reward, which filled her with enthusiasm.

"I'll leave Chiba Farm in your care for a while; I'll complete the gym challenge as soon as possible!"

It was already the next morning. After finishing her work at the farm, Chiba Kaede planned to head to Mauville City first, and then from Mauville City to Lilycove City, where the next gym was located.

The reason for going to Violet City is that just yesterday, Beautiful Flower learned the Grassy Field skill, and he also picked all the remaining Gracidia flowers in the backyard, intending to send them to Miss Ayako's flower shop.

"Don't worry, boss, we'll take good care of everything at Chiba Farm. You can focus on your gym challenge!"

"Alright, I'm off!"

After saying goodbye, Chiba Kaede mounted the Great Swallow and flew directly towards Violet City.

P.S.: The start time of the Ayame Tournament has been adjusted.
