Elf: I Am a Farmer

Chapter 117 Heading to Water City

"Swellia carterii, use Hyper Beam!"

Chiba Kaede gave the order to the giant swallow in the sky. 🍭💘 ❻9ѕнⓊ᙭.𝐜ᵒм 🐒🍩

Five days had passed since Chiba challenged the Yuen Yuen Gym. During these days, Swellow had been following Nakie's Shiny Swellow to learn the Hyper Beam move.

As Naki said, the Destruction Ray skill is very difficult to learn. Even with Chiba Kaede's Great Swellow talent, it took her four days to barely learn it. However, Naki was quite surprised by this learning progress.

She had previously had Swellow teach other trainers' Pokémon the Hyper Beam move, but most trainers' Pokémon were unable to learn it, or it took them a very long time to barely master it.

Of course, although Swellia has learned the Destruction Ray skill, there is still a long way to go before she can use it in actual combat.

First, Swellow takes too long to gather Hyper Beam, making it easy for the skill to be interrupted during this time. In fact, after releasing Hyper Beam, Swellow needs half a minute to recover, during which time it cannot release other skills.

However, there were some aspects that satisfied Chiba Kaede. Perhaps due to its size, the Destructive Beam released by Swellow was incredibly powerful, at least twice as powerful as the Destructive Beam released by Naki's Odd-Colored Swellow, in his opinion.

Although Naki's Great Swellow reduced the power of her Hyper Beam skill to reduce rest time, the reduction was not too significant; otherwise, she might as well have used Air Blade to fight the enemy.

If hit by this powerful Hyper Beam, most Pokémon would be unable to withstand it and might be defeated by the attack. Of course, the accuracy of Hyper Beam is also a big problem. At least for now, Swellow is still somewhat unfamiliar with the control of Hyper Beam, and there is often a certain degree of directional deviation when attacking the target.

Chiba Kaede's current requirement for Swellow is that it quickly becomes familiar with the Hyper Beam skill and reaches a level where it can at least be used in actual combat. Only then can it begin to seek skill improvements, just like Nachi's Odd-Colored Swellow.

"Miss Naki, thank you very much for your hospitality these past few days. However, I think it's time for me to take my leave and head to the next gym location!"

After finding Naki, Chiba Kaede said goodbye to her.

In the past few days, he has indeed received a lot of care from Naki. Not only did she teach his own Swellow the Hyper Beam move, but she also taught him a lot about trainers.

This is precisely the kind of knowledge that Chiba Kaede, this self-taught trainer, lacks. Since transmigrating to this world, although he has tried to learn from books about trainers, he has never studied systematically. Therefore, he is unaware of many things that are considered common knowledge by trainers in this world.

In the past few days, Naki has filled in some of his knowledge gaps, which has made him feel that he has benefited a lot.

"You really should hurry up, after all, the opening of this year's Ayaka Tournament is not far away. I look forward to your performance at the tournament."

Naki also felt a sense of appreciation for her exceptionally talented younger brother, Chiba Maple, which is why she spent this time teaching him some trainer knowledge, hoping he could go further on this path. ♦👍 ➅9ⓈʰǗχ.ĆＯ𝕞 💢♘

After bidding farewell to Nachi, Chiba Kaede flew towards Lilycove City on Swellow. Although there was no gym there, the next gym was located in Mossdeep City, an island city far from the Hoenn mainland, which required a boat trip to reach.

He dared not recklessly take a transoceanic flight on a giant swallow, as he could not bear any unforeseen circumstances. Therefore, taking a boat from Water Lily City to Green Ridge City became Chiba Kaede's only option.

Actually, there is a huge Safari Zone between Lilycove City and Lilycove City. You can get 30 Safari Balls by purchasing a ticket, and then you can enter the Safari Zone to catch Pokémon.

Chiba Kaede knew that many Pokémon lived inside, but he was short on time this time, so he had to give up his plan to go in and experience it. He planned to come back another time to experience the fun of catching Pokémon with Safari Balls.

Once above the Wild Area, Chiba Kaede could see a large number of wild Pokémon living there, and even groups of Tauros running across the grassland. For a moment, Chiba Kaede wanted to go down and experience it for himself, but he restrained himself in the end.

After passing through the Wilderness Area, they were not far from Lilycove City. After flying for about half an hour, Chiba Kaede finally saw a large number of tall buildings in the distance. He knew that he had arrived at his destination, Lilycove City.

It was nearly evening when Chiba Kaede landed at the Fairy Plaza in Lilycove City. She planned to go to the dock first to buy a ferry ticket to Mossdeep City for the next day, and then explore this port city, which is similar to Slateport City, when she had time.

"Xiaomei, did you go to watch the Pokémon Contest (Solid Lash Island Contest) today?"

A slender, beautiful young girl, holding a Mary Lou in her arms, asked her companion.

"Yes, it's a pity you didn't have time to go. Let me tell you, today's match was really spectacular, and the winner was a very energetic young girl!"

"Really? I really wanted to go see it in person, but I had something to do at the store and couldn't get away, so I had to give up!"

The two brushed past Chiba Kaede, and he couldn't hear what they talked about afterwards. However, he knew about the Grand Contest, but he didn't pay much attention to it, so he just listened to it as anecdotes.

After walking for about 10 minutes, Chiba Kaede finally arrived at the ship ticket office. Unfortunately, there were no tickets left for the cruise ship that went directly to Green Ridge City, and the next cruise ship to Green Ridge City was five days later.

In the end, Chiba Kaede followed the ticket seller's advice and bought a ticket to Bamba Island, planning to transfer to other boats on Bamba Island to reach Green Ridge City, which would save some time.

Although the transfers were a bit of a hassle, Chiba Kaede didn't want to spend so many days waiting in Mizushio City. She figured she might as well take a boat trip around these islands and experience the local customs and culture.

After resolving the route issue, Chiba Kaede began to stroll around Mizushima City. Along the way, he noticed that many people were discussing the Grand Contest that had just ended that day. Clearly, the competition was very exciting and did not disappoint the spectators.

Chiba Kaede used a travel guide on her phone to find a restaurant that makes omelet rice. It is said that the omelet rice made by this restaurant is very delicious and is a must-visit spot when you come to Mizushima City.

"Hello, welcome!"

The waitress greeted Chiba Kaede with a smile and welcomed her into the restaurant.

After Chiba Kaede sat down, she ordered the restaurant's most famous omelet rice, along with a few side dishes, and then waited for the food to be served.

Before long, a steaming hot omelet rice was served in front of him. Looking at the golden-yellow, fragrant omelet rice, Chiba Kaede felt that he had come to the right place.

Sure enough, after just one bite, Chiba Kaede was captivated by the deliciousness of the omelet rice. Moreover, the other dishes in the restaurant were also quite tasty. In short, he thoroughly enjoyed his meal.

"Welcome to visit us again!"

With the young lady seeing him off, Chiba Kaede walked out contentedly.

Afterwards, Chiba Kaede wandered around Mizushima City and discovered that there were many tree fruits for sale, as well as some places where customers could make their own Power Cubes.

Unfortunately, Chiba Kaede hasn't had time to learn how to make energy cubes from Terada Yuri, so this place isn't really of any use to him for the time being. He can't exactly come here to learn how to make energy cubes right now!

Thank you to reader 854***403 for the monthly ticket support!
