Elf: I Am a Farmer

Faced with attacks from several Zubats and Poliwag, Chiba Kaede didn't even release any Pokémon.

With his highly proficient Brick Break skill, he easily defeated these baby Pokémon that had never been properly trained.

"How could you possibly defeat our Pokémon? That's absolutely unfair!"

Seeing that Chiba Kaede had easily defeated their Pokémon, the blond leader cried out in fear.

This group of people committed crimes in Slateport City. With their superb disguises and tight organization, almost no one they targeted could escape being robbed, not even trainers.

Many trainers even had their own Pokémon stolen and handed over to their superiors.

Their targets are usually lone pedestrians, and the sprites are not released, so they only need to subdue the pedestrians.

"Who are you people?!"

Chiba Kaede knocked the men to the ground with a few punches and kicks, and then asked them a question.

"We are members of Team Rocket. If you release us now, I will pretend nothing happened. Otherwise, our Team Rocket executives will definitely come after you."

The blond-haired youth leading the group tried to intimidate Chiba Kaede by using the prestige of his organization, hoping to get him to let them leave.

"Team Rocket, huh? Isn't that organization usually active in the Kanto and Johto regions? Why are they in the Hoenn region?"

Chiba Kaede had some understanding of the Rockets' situation.

"You think I'd tell you? Let us go right now!"

After hearing Chiba Kaede's words, the blond-haired youth did not intend to answer his question honestly.

"what!"

"Stop hitting me, I'll talk!"

After receiving special instruction from Chiba Kaede, the blond-haired youth still chose to honestly answer the questions posed by Chiba Kaede.

It turns out that this group of people were originally from Senna City. They had only been recruited into Team Rocket not long ago. Their recent activity was because they felt they had a powerful backer after receiving support from Team Rocket.

Mead, also known as the blond-haired youth, was originally a small-time thug in Senna City. After joining Team Rocket, he became increasingly reckless, even daring to rob pedestrians at a time when he knew that the Senna City police were searching for them.

"Miss Officer Jenny, you've come at the right time. They're all in your care now!"

Soon, Officer Jenny, having received Chiba Kaede's notification, arrived in a flurry of activity on her handsome Growlithe.

"Yes, hand them over to me. I'll make sure these guys get the trial they deserve!"

Miss Officer Jenny ignored the people groaning on the ground and assured Chiba Kaede.

"Damn it, our boss will definitely avenge us!"

Before being put into the police car, the blond-haired youth, Mead, roared fiercely at Chiba Kaede.

"I'll be waiting for his arrival anytime, and I wish you a pleasant prison experience!"

Chiba Kaede waved dismissively at the blond-haired youth, Mido, and then turned and walked toward the Elf Plaza.

Chiba Kaede wasn't too concerned about the threat from the blond-haired youth, Mead. In his view, Mead was just a bunch of grunts on the periphery of Team Rocket. How could he possibly provoke retaliation from the higher-ups of Team Rocket?

If every captured Team Rocket member attracts retaliation from the team's management, then the management wouldn't have to do anything but clean up the messes left by their members.

However, Chiba Kaede did not notice that on the rooftop of a tall building not far from their location, a slender girl with long, straight black hair watched the entire process with an indifferent expression.

"This is infuriating! And such an arrogant attitude! Looks like I need to teach you a lesson!"

The girl with long, straight black hair released a natural bird, which followed Chiba Kaede nearby, before disappearing directly from the rooftop.

Chiba Kaede was completely unaware of this and didn't know that he was being followed by a little tail. After arriving at the Elf Plaza, he released the Overlord King Swellow and flew towards Chiba Farm.

When Chiba Kaede returned to Chiba Farm, the sun was setting. She saw a little girl playing with a Marilou in front of the house where Terada Yuri and the others lived.

Or perhaps it's just that Marylou is simply teasing the little girl. Whenever the little girl is about to grab it, it suddenly increases its speed and then turns around to mock her, making the little girl scream in anger.

"Akiko, it's been so long!"

After seeing the little girl's face clearly, Chiba Kaede slowly walked up to her and said with a smile.

That's right, the little girl in front of us is Akiko Iida. Since the situation at the orphanage improved, she and her friends have been sent to school by the director, Rie Uchino, and she has been able to come to Chiba Farm much less often.

In addition, Chiba Kaede had been traveling most of the time, so it had been a long time since I had seen her.

"Wow, Brother Xiaofeng, you're back! Quick, help me catch that wretched Marylou!"

When Akiko Iida saw Kaede Chiba, she ran up to him with great joy, hugged him, and then asked for his help.

The moment Mary Lou saw Chiba Kaede, she realized something was wrong and was thinking of sneaking into the house to return to her trainer, Terada Yuri.

After Marilyn's impression, only Chiba Kaede, the Great Demon King, could be stopped by her own trainer. However, before she could move a few steps, she heard Akiko Iida's accusations against her.

"Lilu!"

When Chiba Kaede's gaze fell on her, Mary Lou called out in a cutesy manner, her face full of ingratiating expression.

"Alright, Akiko, you go play with Marilou, I'm going inside first!"

After patting Akiko Iida's head, Chiba Kaede did not choose to intervene in Akiko Iida and Marilou's game.

After Chiba Kaede entered the house, the sounds of Iida Akiko and Marilou chasing and playing came from behind him.

"Xiao Feng, welcome back!"

At this moment, Terada Yuri, who was inside the house, also happily welcomed them.

Then, Chiba Kaede released Diancie as well, and this time it was a great help.

"Yuri, thank you for all your hard work these past few days. These are some local specialties from the Unova region that I brought you!"

Chiba Kaede knew that it was indeed a bit much to let Terada Yuri manage the entire Chiba Farm by herself for so long, so before leaving the Unova region, he specially bought her many gifts as an apology.

"Xiaofeng, you're wasting money again! Don't buy so much stuff next time!"

Terada Yuri looked at the table full of local specialties, and although she was very happy inside, she complained aloud.

"Haha, I'm leaving Diancie to you. I'll go back and get ready!"

Seeing that Terada Yuri wasn't angry with him, Chiba Kaede finally breathed a sigh of relief and decided to go back to his room to take a shower and wash away the fatigue of the journey.

As soon as Chiba Kaede returned to the house where the Chiba Breeding House was located, she was surrounded by a large group of Pokémon.

Infernape and Shellder were extremely excited to see Maple Leaf. Although they had gotten along well with the other Pokémon during this time, they still missed their trainer.

Over the next few days, Chiba Kaede led the elves in a thorough cleaning of Chiba Farm, giving the entire farm a fresh new look. (End of Chapter)
