Elf: I Am a Farmer

"Looks like you're not planning to resist. That's fine, saves me the trouble!"

Seeing the young man's submissive demeanor, Athena chuckled.

In fact, Giovanni had known all along that there were spies sent by the Pokémon League inside Team Rocket's headquarters, so his grand departure this time was intended to lure out these little rats.

As he had hoped, the spy hidden in Team Rocket headquarters was easily located by using the communication signals transmitted outwards.

After receiving Athena's report, Giovanni couldn't help but burst into laughter, having finally gotten rid of a little mouse.

Although Giovanni himself would plant spies in the Pokémon League to obtain information about it, when it came to his own side, he could feel the disgust of spies.

A few spies can't cause much damage to the massive Team Rocket, nor can they affect the team's operations. However, they can make Giovanni feel like he has a fishbone stuck in his throat, which is very uncomfortable.

That's why Sakaki felt so relieved after removing the thorn stuck in his throat, and his movements as he stroked the cat in his arms became even gentler.

"Meow"

The cat also made a comfortable sound as it was petted by Giovanni. At that moment, it felt like the coolest one among all the trainer's Pokémon.

Sakaki and his companions' aircraft had arrived at the boundless sea. Apart from a few scattered islands appearing from time to time below, there was only endless seawater and elves leaping out of the water from time to time.

"Boss, we'll arrive at the Hoenn continent in a few hours. Should we head straight to Chiba Farm then?"

"I can't help but ask," said the bird.

"Let's go straight there. Although we've caught the traitor, the news has already been leaked. I need to resolve this before the Elf Alliance can react."

Although Giovanni was very confident in his own strength, he did not dare to underestimate the power of the Pokémon League. If the Pokémon League was given enough time to prepare, it would be difficult for him to escape unscathed.

After all, most of the world's top trainers actually belong to the Pokémon Leagues of their respective regions, and they are the ones who represent the general trend of this world.

"Understood, Boss!"

After receiving instructions from Sakaki, Masato responded readily.

After receiving intelligence from the agents who had infiltrated Team Rocket, the Pokémon League became vigilant and began using every means to track down Giovanni's whereabouts.

Unfortunately, the spacecraft that Giovanni was riding in was a product of Team Rocket's various cutting-edge technologies. As long as it did not actively expose itself, even the satellites overhead could not detect it.

However, considering the previous events of Team Rocket executive Sabrina being arrested in the Hoenn region and then rescued on the way back to the Kanto region, the Kanto League still informed the Hoenn League of Giovanni's departure.

When Chiba Kaede received Officer Jenny's notification, she felt completely numb.

Although the probability of Sakaki personally coming to cause him trouble is not high, he cannot ignore the possibility if it exists.

"Yuri, I need you to go back to the orphanage for a while!"

Chiba Kaede found Terada Yuri, who was making an energy cube with Diancie, and then said with a serious expression.

"Has something happened?"

After hearing what Chiba Kaede said, Terada Yuri asked somewhat nervously.

Terada Yuri knew that Chiba Kaede wouldn't let her leave Chiba Farm for no reason. The only reason she would do such a thing was if Chiba Farm faced a danger that even she couldn't withstand.

"Yes, it is a little troublesome, but don't worry, I will resolve it as soon as possible!"

Even Chiba Kaede himself didn't know if he was worrying unnecessarily, but he still shared his thoughts with Terada Yuri.

After hearing Chiba Kaede's concerns, Terada Yuri was still a little worried, but she knew that staying here wouldn't do her any good and might even distract him. So she simply rode a giant swallow to the orphanage in Spring Blossom Town to stay temporarily.

After Terada Yuri left, Chiba Kaede began to take stock of his team's strength. The strongest of them were naturally Diancie and Shaymin, the two mythical Pokémon, followed by the overlord Swellow and Machamp.

To be honest, this level of strength isn't exactly weak, but facing Team Rocket's leader Giovanni, along with other high-ranking executives like Sabrina who might be accompanying him, Chiba Kaede doesn't have much confidence.

Fortunately, he also has the Giant Swallow clan and the Mosquito Coil Frog royal clan. The number of these two clans is already terrifying. Although they don't seem like much on ordinary days, when they gather together, they are a terrifying force.

After all, quantitative change leads to qualitative change. When the number of Pokémon reaches a certain level, even the weakest Pokémon, Wishiwashi, can unleash power comparable to legendary Pokémon.

Even Milotic and Gyarados, which had always roamed the ocean, were summoned by Chiba Kaede. If you add their subjugated minions, they would be a terrifying force.

At this moment, Chiba Kaede had gathered all his strength, quietly awaiting the potentially fatal crisis.

"I'm fine, don't worry!"

Chiba Kaede touched Ralts' shoulder, trying to comfort him.

Ralts could sense Chiba's emotions and knew that he was under a lot of pressure and even felt a little scared. So it pressed its head against its trainer, hoping that the trainer could relax.

Indeed, Chiba Kaede was feeling somewhat fearful, as he might have to face the leader of Team Rocket, the most powerful dark organization in the world.

He knew very well that if he failed, everything in Chiba Farm would be destroyed, and the elves living there would suffer a fatal blow.

Many Pokémon lose their lives, and the surviving Pokémon are either sold off by Team Rocket or become consumables in their laboratories.

The more Chiba Kaede thought about it, the greater the pressure she felt.

The only thing that comforted him was that the elves would fight alongside him to the very end.

Seeing the trusting gazes directed at him, Chiba Kaede's resolve hardened instantly. With the support of the elves, they would be invincible.

After overcoming the initial fear, Chiba Kaede's heart gradually calmed down. Chiba Farm was his home in this world, and anyone who wanted to destroy everything here would be his mortal enemy.

Therefore, Chiba Kaede has made a decision: if Sakaki Makoto comes to Chiba Farm to take revenge on him, he will not hold back. Even if he is ultimately no match for him, he will make him suffer a heart-wrenching pain.

At this moment, Chiba Kaede seemed to feel the same sense of walking on thin ice that she had when she first transmigrated to this world.

Time passed second by second, and finally, Chiba Kaede noticed a huge black dot appearing in the distant clouds.

As the black dot drew closer, a massive, futuristic spacecraft, resembling an interstellar ship, came into view.

Seeing the huge "R" logo on the aircraft, Chiba Kaede knew a major battle was inevitable. (End of Chapter)
