Elf: I Am a Farmer

Chapter 56 Arm Strength

"Professor Tomato, how could you make that decision for me?!"

Naki glared at Professor Birch, somewhat annoyed. 💔♤ 6➈Ⓢ𝔥𝔲𝕩.ᑕ๏ⓜ 🍩♗

"Oh, since you don't need to battle Xiaofeng, I can still use Pokémon raised by other trainers to complete this battle."

Dr. Oda Birch said with a smile.

"Hmph, I'll reluctantly help you with this favor!"

Naki had originally wanted to have a match with Chiba Kaede; she was just a little annoyed that Dr. Oda had taken it upon herself to do so, not that she refused to fight.

"Then, Naki, please take good care of me!"

Seeing that Naki had agreed to fight, Chiba Kaede extended his hand and said.

"I won't hold back, so don't blame me if you fail the challenge!"

Naki shook hands with Chiba Kaede and then said...

"Come out, Great Swallow!"

"Go forth, Great Swallow!"

Chiba Kaede glanced at Naki, who returned a smile; clearly, both of them wanted to know the difference in strength between their respective Great Kings, Yan.

"Swallow King, use Tailwind!"

As Naki finished speaking, a current of air swirled around her Odd-colored Swellow, which greatly increased her speed, making her so fast that Chiba Kaede could barely see her.

"Swallow, move at high speed!"

At this point, Chiba Kaede could only have Swellow use its speed-boosting skill. Although the speed boost from the high-speed movement skill wasn't as great as Tailwind, it was enough to allow Swellow to barely keep up with its opponent and catch a glimpse of them.

Then, the two giant swallows began their incredibly fast attack, colliding repeatedly in the sky. At this point, Chiba Kaede was unable to give any effective commands, fearing that the giant swallows would be distracted by her commands. 💛🐜 6➈𝔰hⓊⓍ.ᑕ𝐨ⓜ 💋♟

However, as time went on, Chiba Kaede's Great Swellow gradually gained the upper hand, and Naki's most important advantage was its super speed.

When its speed could no longer overwhelm Chiba Kaede's Swellow, Chiba Kaede's Swellow gradually gained the upper hand by virtue of its size and endurance.

As her injuries worsened and her stamina waned, the Oddish Swellow could no longer maintain its super-fast speed.

"Great Swan, resort to brute force!"

Seeing that her queen swallow was almost exhausted, Naqi gave the order.

"Great King Yan, you've been brought back to life!"

Chiba Kaede was also surprised when he heard about the skill the other party was going to use. This skill was a divine technique that forcibly balanced the life force of both sides.

However, his reaction speed was also very fast, and he directly asked the Great King Yan to use Resurrection. After the opponent had depleted a large amount of his life force, the power of this skill could be greatly enhanced.

Sure enough, after being hit by the opponent's brute force skill, the Great Swellow endured the pain caused by the skill and directly used the Resurrection skill. After being hit by this skill, the Odd-Colored Great Swellow only let out a miserable cry and fell from the sky.

"Bluebird of the Double Seventh Festival, catch the Great Swallow!"

Seeing that its Great Swellow had lost its fighting ability and was falling from the sky, Naki immediately had Altaria catch the Great Swellow in mid-air to prevent it from being injured again by the fall.

"Great Swan, perch!"

Seeing that the battle was over, Chiba Kaede hurriedly had the Great Swallow use Feather Perch to recover itself, since it was in very poor condition.

"How are you? Is your giant swallow alright?"

Chiba Kaede walked up to Naki and asked.

"It's alright now. I just gave it some medicine. It'll be fine after resting in its Poké Ball. Also, the match was really exciting. ♦👺 ❻9ѕ𝔥Ữ乂.𝓒ⓄⓂ 💚♖"

Naki looked at Chiba Kaede and said.

"That was a wonderful battle, Xiao Feng. Now that you've won, I will keep my promise and upgrade your Pokédex."

Dr. Oda Birch then came over and said something.

"Thank you for your help!"

Chiba Kaede handed the Pokédex to Professor Birch.

Having achieved her goal in Littleroot Town, Naki declined Professor Birch's invitation and planned to leave immediately, as she still had a gym to take care of and couldn't stay away for too long.

However, when she learned that Chiba Kaede would be going to the Yuen Yu Gym for a gym challenge, she was very happy and said that she would let the two Swellows have another showdown.

Since Chiba Kaede only had Swellow with her, and Swellow was already quite tired that day, she accepted Professor Birch's invitation to stay overnight at his research institute.

After that, he wandered around the backyard of the Odamako Research Institute.

In Professor Birch's backyard, Chiba Kaede saw many rare and precious Pokémon. He knew that most of these Pokémon were raised by other trainers at Professor Birch's place.

All forms of the starter Pokémon from the Hoenn region were present. Chiba even saw a robust Charizard, one of the starter Pokémon from the Kanto region. Before Chiba's transmigration, he had dreamed of owning such a tall and mighty Charizard.

Suddenly, a wrist-strength animal appeared before him, doing push-ups. Chiba Kaede had no idea how long it had been training.

However, judging from the puddle of water beneath it and the large amount of sweat on its forehead, it had been training for a long time.

Of course, none of these are the most crucial points. What is most striking is that this arm of the wrist is now down to only one. That's right, it is using its only remaining left hand to try to do push-ups.

Chiba Kaede didn't know why this arm was working so hard, nor did he know why its arm was missing, but seeing this scene moved him inexplicably.

Chiba Kaede didn't intend to disturb it. She simply took out a bottle of Moo Moo Milk from her backpack and placed it next to it, hoping it could drink some when it was thirsty.

The wrist-strength merely glanced at Chiba Kaede without pausing its movements. From its eyes, Chiba Kaede saw indifference, a sense of alienation that refused to communicate with the outside world.

This world is real, and having experienced wilderness survival himself, he knows how terrifying the wild environment can be.

The principle of natural selection and survival of the fittest is vividly demonstrated. Many Pokémon and trainers die or become disabled for various reasons, which no longer surprises Chiba Kaede.

The fact that Wrist Strength could still rally and train hard after losing his powerful right hand is truly remarkable.

"Professor Birch, could I ask about the Armadillo in the backyard?"

During lunch, Chiba Kaede finally couldn't help but ask.

"You mean it? It's a very hardworking kid, but unfortunately, it wasn't very lucky!"

When Dr. Odamon saw Chiba Kaede asking about his wrist strength, he sighed and said...

Dr. Oda Birch then began recounting his past experiences with arm wrestling.

It turns out that Machop wasn't born disabled. It was once the Pokémon of a trainer who had never set out from Whitetown. However, during an adventure deep into Petalburg Woods, that trainer encountered a pack of wild Mightyenas.

It's possible that the trainer injured the young wolfhound, which angered the entire wolfhound pack. Machop's right arm was bitten off by a wolfhound during that fight.

Naturally, the trainer was also seriously injured. If a powerful trainer hadn't arrived in time, they would probably have been torn apart by the enraged pack of Great Hounds and become one of the many missing persons.

However, after that, the trainer was terrified and gave up his trainer status after recovering from his injuries, and moved to a big city to settle down. Machop, on the other hand, was abandoned by him at Professor Birch's laboratory.

Machop probably felt that he was abandoned because he was a weak trainer who couldn't protect him, so he started training himself like crazy after that.

During this time, Professor Birch made many efforts, but he still couldn't change its mind, and in the end he could only let it be.

"Doctor, haven't you considered finding it another trainer?"

After hearing about Arm Li's experience, Chiba Kaede immediately asked him about it.

"I've tried to find them before, but most trainers refused because Machop is already crippled. Some trainers, like you, who appreciate Machop's hard work, also tried to take Machop away, but it refused them all."

Dr. Oda Birch said helplessly.

"I see. Well then, Professor Birch, may I try to capture it?"

Chiba Kaede inquired.

"It's possible, but don't get your hopes up too high."

Dr. Oda Birch felt that the chances of Chiba Kaede successfully gaining Armwrestling's approval were slim, but he wouldn't stop her, as he also hoped that Armwrestling could find a good home.

"I think I can get Arm Wrestling's approval, Dr. Tomato, just you wait!"

After saying that, Chiba Kaede ran straight to the backyard.
