Elf: I Am a Farmer

Chapter 48 Incident at the Orphanage

"Big Milk Tank, say hello to everyone!"

Chiba Kaede arrived in the yard and released Miltank from its Poké Ball. 👮🔥 ❻➈ˢ𝐇ùЖ.𝔠𝐎爪🎁🐊

The released giant milk tank looked around at the completely different environment and felt a sense of novelty and longing.

Stepping on the green grass, a gentle breeze blows by, and the afterglow of the setting sun shines on them, giving them a comfortable feeling, as if they were born to run on the grassland.

"Moo!"

The big milk tank called out to the crowd.

"Hello, Milk Tank! My name is Akiko Iida. Can we be friends?"

Akiko Iida, who was playing with the Mare the sheep, saw Miltank and immediately ran over to say something.

She was met with a hug from the big milk tank, and she returned a warm hug in return.

This means that she and the big milk tank are already good friends.

"So the big milk tank has been born! That's wonderful!"

Yuta Mizuno held the Tauntlet's Pokémon egg and said enviously.

Ever since he obtained the Pride Swallow fairy egg, he would take it with him wherever he went, fearing that he wouldn't be by the side when the Pride Swallow hatched.

"Judging by the time, your proud swallow should be born in another day or two, so you don't need to be envious."

Chiba Kaede said to Mizuno Yuta.

"Hehe, I know that, but the closer it gets to the hatching time of the Pride Swallow, the more nervous I become."

Yuta Mizuno scratched his head and said.

"Yuri, I'll be leaving the big milk tank in your care from now on!"

Chiba Kaede said to Terada Yuri. ☺💙 ➅9s𝓗υＸ.cσ𝓶 🍮🍪

He needs to intensify his training of his Pokémon now. Only by improving his strength can he cope with the upcoming gym challenges and the Rainbow Tournament. Since he has already chosen to participate, he must go all out.

"Of course, no problem, boss, you can rest assured and leave it to me!"

Terada Yuri naturally wouldn't refuse Chiba Kaede's request and readily agreed.

After dinner, Chiba Kaede began to plan which gym to challenge first. After all, he still needed to challenge 7 gyms, which was a huge headache. He needed to plan his challenge route carefully.

Through studying the Hoenn map, he discovered that he could first challenge the Mauville Gym, which was closer to his home.

Then, head to the Lava City Gym where Aysa is located, and finally challenge the Rustboro Gym to complete this round of gym challenges. After that, you can return to Chiba Farm from Rustboro City to rest and then take on the next round of gym challenges.

According to Chiba Kaede's calculations, if all goes well, it will only take him a little over half a month to complete the challenges of the three gyms, with Swellow carrying him to the destination.

Now that the route has been decided, Chiba Kaede plans to train his Pokémon for a while before setting off.

"Go, Da Wang Yan!"

"Didn't you guys eat, Heracross and Mosquito Coil?"

It has now been 10 days since Chiba Kaede returned to Chiba Farm, and the fifth battle between Heracross and Mosquito Coil against Swellow is underway.

Since their first battle ended in a draw, both sides have been somewhat dissatisfied with the result.

As a result, both sides wanted to challenge again. Chiba Kaede naturally wouldn't refuse. The previous challenge results were one win, one loss, and two draws, so this match was especially important to them.

However, the result might not be so friendly for Heracross and Mosquito Coil.

Since returning to the farm, the Great Swan, perhaps due to the intense battle, has pushed its limits and grown even taller, reaching 2 meters, much taller than Chiba Maple. ღ(¯`◕‿◕´¯) ♫ ♪ ♫ 1ĤỮⓍ.c𝕠𝓜 ♫ ♪ ♫ (¯`◕‿◕´¯)ღ

Moreover, along with the enhancement, the power and release speed of the Great Swallow's skills have also increased, and this advantage has become increasingly significant over time.

Although Heracross and Mosquito Coil have grown a lot during this time, they are still somewhat behind Swellow.

This difference was already apparent in their last match, but it wasn't as obvious as it was in this one.

As expected, with Swellow's Brave Bird Attack skill, Heracross and Poliwag lost their ability to fight. Although Swellow was covered in wounds, it still had the strength to fight.

After seeing its opponent fall, the Great Swallow flew back to the ground, its whole body glowing white as it used its Feather Perch skill to restore its stamina.

That's right, the Great Swallow has already mastered the Feather Perch recovery skill. Chiba Kaede thinks it must be because he taught it the Sleep skill and used his abilities on it many times, allowing it to understand some techniques for using life energy. That's how it was able to learn the Feather Perch recovery skill without being taught.

Of course, the Feather Perch skill is not very useful in battle. The condition for using this skill is that the Great Swallow must land on the ground, which will give the opponent an opportunity to attack you.

Therefore, this skill can only be used to restore one's own condition and maintain one's endurance after defeating an opponent.

"Jumpweave, use a grassy field!"

This shuttlecock flower just evolved from the shuttlecock grass a few days ago, and its performance on grassy fields has improved significantly since then.

Through its evolution, Chiba Kaede also learned that even without fighting, as long as he repeatedly trains his skills and maintains sufficient nutrition, he can still increase his level and thus evolve.

It's worth mentioning that two Swellows in the Swellow family have already evolved into Great Swellows, which is largely due to the large amount of energy cubes provided by Chiba Farm and the frequent training sessions.

These two giant swallows are of normal size, less than half the size of the giant swallows in Chiba Maple. They are not yet able to carry people in flight, otherwise they would make it easier for other people in Chiba Farm to travel.

However, once they grow for a while longer, manned flight should no longer be a problem.

"Hey, boss, I'm so sorry to interrupt your training. Could you please have Da Wang Yan take me to Chunhua Town?"

On the other end of the phone, Terada Yuri's anxious voice came through.

"Don't rush, tell me what happened."

Chiba Kaede inquired.

"Here's what happened. I just received a call from Meiling. She said that she doesn't know what happened, but a fire suddenly broke out at the orphanage. After Grandma Uchino rescued them from the fire, she fell unconscious and has now been taken to the town hospital."

Terada Yuri said to Chiba Kaede with a slightly tearful voice.

"Wait for me, I'm coming back right away!"

After finishing speaking, Chiba Kaede immediately recalled the other Pokémon, then rode the now mostly recovered Swellow back to Chiba Farm.

Since Chiba Kaede chose a location where the Great Swellows and the others would battle not far from his farm, he returned home to the farm in just a few minutes.

"Yuri, you and I will go there. Yui and Yuuta, you two take care of Akiko and the farm. Wait for our news!"

Chiba Kaede looked at the anxious-looking group and then spoke.

Then, Chiba Kaede pulled Terada Yuri onto the back of the Great Swellow and sent it flying towards Haruka Town. With the Great Swellow's current strength, carrying the two of them was already quite easy.

"Yuri, should we go straight to the hospital now, or visit the orphanage first?"

Chiba Kaede inquired.

"Let's go to the hospital first. Meiling just told me that they've all been taken to the town hospital."

Because Wang Yan's speed had improved considerably during this period, she arrived at Chunhua Town Hospital in less than 8 minutes.

After asking the nurse at the door, Chiba Kaede and Terada Yuri went to the ward on the second floor.

"Yuri-neechan, you're finally here! Our house is gone, waaaaah!"

When the three remaining children in the orphanage saw Terada Yuri, they seemed to have found their pillar of support and surrounded her, hugging her tightly.

"Don't cry, how is Grandma Uchino?"

Terada Yuri patted their heads and then asked.

"The nurse told me that Grandma Uchino inhaled a lot of smoke while saving us, and her lungs are in serious condition; she may need a long time to recover!"

Yoshino Mirei said with some sadness.

"Meiling, don't be sad. I believe that Grandma Uchino will get better in the future."

Terada Yuri was also saddened by the news, but she managed to suppress her grief and comfort Yoshino Mirei.

"Is it made of pears?"

At that moment, Rie Uchino, who was lying in the hospital bed, woke up and called out.

"It's me, Grandma Uchino. How are you?"

Terada Yuri hurried to the bedside, grabbed Uchino Rie's hand, and asked anxiously.

"Cough cough, I'm fine, just a little sore throat, don't worry!"

Rie Uchino coughed a few times before speaking.
