Elf: I Am a Farmer

Chapter 34 Reencounter with Shida Kyohei

Chiba Kaede didn't bring Swellow with her on her trip to Petalburg City, which caused Swellow some trouble. (New 20 Bookstore →)

However, after learning that Chiba Maple had asked it to protect Chiba Farm, it stopped throwing a tantrum and instead solemnly promised to protect everything there.

Chiba Kaede didn't bring Ootengu with him because after he left, only Terada Yuri and two other employees would remain at Chiba Farm.

If Chiba Farm encounters an emergency, they may not be able to flexibly command the Taillow flock, since these Taillows are actually wild elves in the strict sense, only attached to Swellow.

For this trip, Chiba Kaede brought five Pokémon with her: Heracross, Shiny Mareep, Poliwag, Jumpluff, and Gastly.

As for why he didn't bring Sandslash along, it was because he felt that the excavation of the artificial lake had overworked Sandslash, so he wanted it to rest for a while.

As the Pokémon doctor at Chiba Farm, Jumpluff needs to stay on the farm to treat injured Pokémon. As for him, Jumpluff, who has learned the Grassy Terrain move, is enough.

After some research, Chiba Kaede learned that if she were to travel to Orange Blossom City on foot, it would take about half a month. The only place she could rest along the way was Komai Town; otherwise, she would have to spend the night in the wilderness.

At this moment, Chiba Kaede arrived in the Orange Blossom Forest again, but now with the map to guide him, he was not worried about getting lost.

"Finally, we've met again. Let's have a fair and square Pokémon battle, Maple!"

A boy jumped out of the bushes ahead and said to Chiba Kaede.

"Oh, it's you, Kyohei!"

To be honest, Chiba Kaede was also startled by Shida Kyohei's entrance; he thought he had been attacked by a wild spirit!

He almost got attacked by Gastly hiding in his shadow, but luckily the voice he heard made him realize it was a person. After a closer look, he discovered it was none other than Shida Kyohei. 💜💜 ➅9s𝕙Ⓤ𝕏.Ⓒ𝔬ｍ 👺🐳

He had only met Shida Kyohei three times so far, including this time. The reason he was able to recognize him was because Shida Kyohei had left such a deep impression on him.

The first time they met was when Kyohei Shida guided him and Taillow out of Petalburg Woods. The second time they met was when they bumped into each other at the Pokémon Center in Spring Blossom Town after he lost a Pokémon battle. And this time, that makes it exactly three times.

"I agree, come out now, Mare the Sheep!"

Chiba Kaede felt it was incredibly fate to run into Shida Kyohei in Petalburg Woods. Since he didn't have anything urgent to do right now, he figured having a Pokémon battle with him wouldn't hurt.

"Great, you've finally agreed to a duel with me. Come out, Hunting Butterfly!"

After being enlightened by Chiba Kaede last time, Shida Kyohei began to train his Pokémon very seriously, and even defeated Ursaring with Beautifly, thus turning the tide of his defeat.

"How about we have a 1v1 Pokémon battle?"

Chiba Kaede inquired.

"No problem, let's get started! I can't wait!"

"I must say," said Shida Kyohei urgently.

"You attack first!"

Chiba Kaede said calmly.

"Then I won't hold back! Hunting Swallowtail Butterfly, use Air Blade!"

Seeing that Chiba Kaede was somewhat disrespecting him, Shida Kyohei was a little angry and immediately ordered the Hunting Butterfly to use its signature attack skill.

"Mary Sheep, electric shock!"

Chiba Kaede wasn't actually underestimating Shida Kyohei; rather, she had confidence in Shiny Mareep's strength. Shiny Mareep hadn't wasted any time during this period; on the contrary, it had been training even harder.

From time to time, Chiba would also have it help Swellow with resistance training, which involved having Shiny Mareep use the Electric Shock move to attack Swellow, thereby increasing Swellow's resistance to Electric-type moves through repeated attacks.

In this training, the giant swallow's resistance to electric properties did indeed improve significantly.

Meanwhile, the Shiny Mareep, acting as the attacker, desperately tried to increase the power of its Electric Shock skill in order to regain its pride as an Electric-type Pokémon.

"bump!"

The Shiny Mareep's Electric Shock skill and Butterfree's Air Blade skill collided in mid-air, causing an energy explosion. This skill duel can be described as evenly matched.

"Damn it, Hunting Butterfly, use Butterfly Dance!"

After realizing that the Air Blade skill had no effect, Shida Kyohei chose to use the Butterfly Dance skill to enhance the Hunting Swallowtail.

Upon hearing the command, the Safari Butterfree danced gracefully in the sky. Its beautiful appearance was truly a sight to behold, no wonder it is one of the essential Pokémon for trainers.

"Mary Sheep, charge!"

Since the opponent has chosen to enhance their skills, Chiba Kaede naturally needs to enhance her Odd-colored Mareep as well.

"Hunting Swallowtail, let's continue using Air Blade!"

After seeing that Butterfly Hunting had finished using Butterfly Dance, Kyohei Shida chose to continue using Air Blade. Several wind blades, even stronger than before, flew swiftly toward Mareep.

"Mary Sheep, use Electric Shock, maximum power!"

Chiba Kaede also issued the order at the opportune moment.

This time, instead of using electric shock, he used a more powerful discharge skill, which, combined with the charging skill he had just used, caused a terrifying bolt of lightning to erupt from the Oddityrum Mareep.

The bolt of lightning shattered the incoming air blade and continued its trajectory towards the Hunting Swallowtail.

"Get out of the way, you hunting swallowtail butterfly!"

"Shida Kyohei shouted in a panic."

However, the lightning bolt was too fast. The Hunting Butterfly tried to dodge, but it was too late, and it was hit directly by the lightning bolt.

After taking this incredibly effective blow, the Hunting Swallowtail was too weak to withstand it any longer and crashed to the ground, losing its ability to fight.

"Are you alright, Swallowtail?"

Shida Kyohei hurriedly ran over to check on the hunting swallowtail butterfly.

"Jumpweed, use a grassy field!"

Chiba Kaede immediately released Shuttlecock and had it use the Grassy Terrain skill.

With the release of the Jumpluff's Grassy Terrain skill, the area is enveloped in a vibrant green energy that continuously restores the stamina of Butterfree and Mareep.

After a while, the Hunting Swallowtail had recovered a lot of its strength and was at least able to fly in the air on its own.

"Alright, Kyohei, your Swallowtail Butterfly is fine, you don't need to worry too much!"

At this moment, Chiba Kaede walked up to Shida Kyohei and said to him with a smile.

"Thank you, Xiaofeng. Although I lost this time, Hunting Butterfly and I will definitely train harder and challenge you again in the future!"

Shida Kyohei was very grateful to Chiba Kaede for helping him heal the Beautifly, since he was currently quite far from the Pokémon Center.

"I look forward to your challenge, but I have business to attend to in Orange Blossom City, so I won't chat any longer. Goodbye!"

Chiba Kaede and Shida Kyohei waved goodbye, preparing to leave. After all, it was getting late, and he needed to find a place to camp.

Shida Kyohei watched Chiba Kaede's departing figure without saying anything more, only clenching his fists. The taste of defeat was indeed unpleasant, and he needed to work even harder.

"Mary Sheep, this battle was your first real Pokémon battle. Although you won, you still need to reflect on the battle and analyze your shortcomings!"

Chiba Kaede took out a mid-grade energy cube and handed it to the mismatched Mareep, then gave it a warning.

"Meri, Merri!"

The miscolored Mareep nodded to Chiba Kaede, indicating that it understood, and then ate the energy cube in one gulp. It had just used the Discharge skill, which did consume a lot of energy.

When Chiba Kaede saw that the Shiny Mareep was not arrogant because of its victory in the battle, she smiled and nodded.

After walking for another hour, Chiba Kaede finally found a place with a relatively open view and a stream not far away, making it a good place to set up camp.

"Come out, all of you!"

Chiba Kaede released all the spirits, and together they tidied up the place before happily eating dinner.

Although they were in the wild, Chiba Kaede wasn't too worried. After all, with Heracross and the others' current strength, protecting him in this area on the outskirts of the Orange Blossom Forest shouldn't be a problem.

After dinner, Chiba Kaede accompanied the Pokémon through some routine training before deciding to rest, as he had been traveling all day. However, before resting, he chose to use all three of his ability attempts to help his Pokémon recover.

Although he now has more Pokémon than he can use his abilities each day, he will still treat them every now and then, as fairly as possible.

While it's called treatment, it's actually more about clearing away their hidden injuries and strengthening the elves' vitality.

Although each treatment may not bring about significant changes, Chiba Kaede believes that with consistent effort over time, these treatments will continuously push their limits and achieve even greater success.
