Elf: I Am a Farmer

When Giovanni and his companions were taken to the Hoenn League by Genji, the shock to the league's leadership was immense.

Although the Kanto Alliance and the Johto Alliance were the ones who actually fought against Giovanni, this does not mean that the Hoenn Alliance leadership did not take Giovanni seriously.

The fact that Giovanni was able to survive the suppression of the Pokémon Leagues in two major regions, and even allow Team Rocket to develop in a positive direction, shows just how terrifying he is.

But this terrifying person was actually defeated by Chiba Kaede, which was quite unexpected by the league's higher-ups.

After discussions with the Kanto Alliance and the Chengdu Alliance, in order to avoid the situation from happening again during the transport and causing the prisoners to escape, which would bring even greater trouble, the plan was formulated.

Therefore, the top leaders of the major alliances held a meeting overnight and finally decided to arrange the trial in the Hoenn region, with the Kanto Alliance and the Johto Alliance each sending one of their Elite Four members to conduct a joint trial.

Such a lineup of judges is naturally incredibly impressive, making it virtually impossible for even the remaining remnants of Team Rocket to reunite and rescue Giovanni.

Several months had passed by the time Chiba Kaede heard news of Sakaki again.

During this period, news reports on the internet frequently covered the evil deeds committed by Team Rocket, as well as how the League dismantled their criminal dens and rescued imprisoned trainers and Pokémon.

Clearly, not only were Giovanni and his teammates unable to hold out, they also revealed the Rockets' true strength to the league.

This is normal, though. There are too many mysterious ways in this world that can make people involuntarily reveal their secrets, especially with the help of Darkrai, the nightmare god.

With most of its bases destroyed and the vast majority of its members captured, Team Rocket has been reduced to a third-rate organization.

Even if there are still some who slipped through the net, they can only hide quietly and would never dare to be as blatant as before, let alone go to the Hoenn region to cause trouble for him.

After all, the capture of most Team Rocket members was directly related to Giovanni's leak of information. It was already a miracle that the remaining members didn't hate him, let alone seek revenge for him.

During this time, with the help of Uncle Henry and the elves, not only were the previously damaged buildings and environment repaired, but Chiba Kaede also built some facilities suitable for the elves to play and train.

To this end, Chiba Kaede invested all his savings, and with the addition of a substantial compensation from the Hoenn Alliance, he barely managed to complete the project.

It was called compensation, but it was actually the Hoenn League's reward for him defeating and capturing Giovanni, the leader of Team Rocket.

After the League had drained him of his remaining value, Giovanni was sentenced to life imprisonment. Fortunately, the League did not have the death penalty, otherwise he would not have survived.

As for Natsume and Makoto, they both received considerable prison sentences, and barring any unforeseen circumstances, they should be gray-haired by the time they are released.

Of course, where there is light, there is darkness, and Team Rocket was ultimately not completely wiped out.

The remaining members continue to wield this banner, but they are far weaker than during Giovanni's time, and have been reduced to a third-rate organization that everyone hates.

After this incident, Chiba Farm returned to normalcy.

However, no force in the Hoenn region that knew the inside story dared to ignore Chiba's existence, and even knowing that he had captured a mythical Pokémon, they dared not have any other ideas.

After all, the fate of Giovanni and the Rockets is still fresh in our minds.

Time flies by like a white horse galloping past a crack in the wall.

"Congratulations to Ash Ketchum for winning the World Championship!"

Watching the excited voices and Ash Ketchum holding the trophy high on the TV screen, Chiba Kaede and Terada Yuri simply smiled at each other.

At this point, several years had passed since Team Rocket attacked the farm.

In recent years, Chiba Maple has rarely traveled for extended periods. Even when he does go out, it's only for short trips to the Hoenn region. He has devoted most of his energy to raising Pokémon and managing his own farm.

Thanks to the dedicated management of Chiba Kaede and Terada Yuri, Chiba Farm's reputation has spread throughout the Hoenn region.

This place not only offers high-quality Aoguyan and Mosquito Tadpole eggs, but also sells top-tier energy cubes.

After several players from Spring Blossom Town achieved excellent results in the League Tournament using Swellow and Poliwag, the Swellow and Poliwag eggs provided by Chiba Farm became highly sought after and have been in short supply.

Diancie is now able to reliably produce top-tier energy cubes, a feat that even Terada Yuri can only dream of.

After traveling for more than a year, Akino Ogata and Yui Takemoto also chose to return to Chiba Farm to live and work.

This trip allowed them to experience and grow a lot, but the two ultimately decided to stay and live at the Chiba Farm.

Because here, with Chiba Kaede providing shelter from the wind and rain, they don't need to worry about too many things. They just need to do their job well and enjoy their lives.

"Salamander, Dragon Dive!"

"Infernape, burn to ashes!"

At this point, both the original Shellder and Infernape had successfully evolved into their final forms, but their competition did not stop, and they still fought every now and then.

This also allowed Salamence and Infernape to rise to prominence, and their current strength is second only to the Totem Swellow and Machamp among ordinary Pokémon.

"Xiao Feng, let me wipe your sweat!"

Because of the high temperature, Chiba Kaede was also sweating profusely after commanding Salamence and Infernape in a thrilling battle.

Terada Yuri, who had been waiting nearby, gently wiped the sweat from his forehead with a damp towel in her hand.

This scene has happened countless times, but Terada Yuri still enjoys it immensely. Being able to do something within her power for Chiba Kaede makes her happy and satisfied.

That's right, at this point, Chiba Kaede and Terada Yuri were already together quite naturally. Everything was so natural and smooth, and although it was ordinary, it had tightly bound their hearts together.

This is also the main reason why Chiba Kaede hasn't gone out most of the time in recent years. Once he has something to worry about, nothing in the outside world has much appeal to him anymore.

At least, Chiba Kaede has now gotten used to and begun to enjoy her current life.

Chiba Kaede has always felt a sense of bewilderment and panic about being alone in a foreign land.

This is also the motivation for him to capture many spirits and do his best to make them stronger, because only in this way can he feel safe.

Chiba Kaede doesn't have much ambition, and is even a bit lazy. He doesn't aspire to become a champion or one of the Four Heavenly Kings, because while such a life might be glamorous, it would consume a lot of his time and energy.

Perhaps as he gets older, Chiba Kaede will grow tired of his current mundane life, and at that time he may choose to travel again and explore this magical world, but at least for now he is very satisfied with his current life.
