Elf: I Am a Farmer

Chapter 59 Kanaz City

"Mosquito Coil, what's wrong with you?"

Chiba Kaede looked at the dejected Mosquito Coil and asked. 🐊👑 ❻➈𝕤卄υ乂.𝔠𝓞ⓜ ♣♡

This afternoon, he mainly focused on Heracross and Arm Wrestling's training, only observing Mosquito Coil and the others briefly. However, judging from Mosquito Coil's appearance, it did not gain an overwhelming advantage in the afternoon's battle, and was even at a disadvantage.

"Mosquito coils, mosquito coils!"

After hearing what Chiba Kaede said, Mosquito Coil started gesturing excitedly.

It thought the afternoon would be a game of easy wins, but the opponent's tactics were too dirty, and it couldn't handle it!

Shiny Mareep's electromagnetic wave and Gastly's lick left it paralyzed all afternoon. Other moves like Spectral Beam and Hypnosis also left it dazed and confused all afternoon, only getting beaten up.

After it was controlled, the Shiny Mareep didn't use any powerful moves, but instead used relatively weak electric shocks to play with it.

You have to understand that it's a Water-type Pokémon, which is naturally vulnerable to Electric-type attacks. It didn't get to use much of its strength that afternoon, and all it did was get beaten up. How could it possibly be in a good mood?

While Mosquito Coil was making its accusations, Shiny Mareep and Gastly were secretly laughing not far away. They had a great time that afternoon, a completely different experience from Mosquito Coil's.

"Mosquito Coil, I roughly understand the situation, but you still need to work harder so you can get your revenge in the future."

By this time, Chiba Kaede had a general understanding of the situation, but he didn't know what to say. He could only blame Mosquito Coil for being too weak; even when given a chance, it couldn't seize it.

"Mosquito coils, mosquito coils!"

Seeing that his trainer had no intention of seeking justice for him, Poliwag could only grumble and walk towards his good buddy Heracross, hoping his buddy would understand his predicament and help him denounce those two little rascals. 🍧☠ 🐊♥

Just then, Heracross was also feeling a bit annoyed by the afternoon's training. When his little brother Poliwag came over to complain to him, the two Pokémon put their arms around each other's shoulders and ran to the lakeside, whispering to each other about something.

"How did you feel about the wrist strength training this afternoon?"

Chiba Kaede found Wrist Strength, who had started training again, and asked.

Wrist didn't say anything, it just stopped training, gave him a thumbs up, and then showed a somewhat naive smile, which already indicated its approval of the afternoon's training.

The afternoon training was indeed very effective for wrist strength. Its proficiency in these attack skills has improved significantly, and it is much stronger than when it trained alone.

"Sandslash King, it's time to finish your meal. You can go back to sleep after you've eaten!"

Chiba Kaede walked up to a ball and said.

The Pangolin King Maple is essentially seen as a model worker on the farm; having it makes many things much simpler.

Therefore, Chiba Maple doesn't have many requirements for it in terms of combat. Of course, if Sandslash King wants to improve its strength, Chiba Maple will arrange training for it.

However, judging from Shan Wang's expression, he doesn't seem very interested in improving his strength.

Upon hearing that it was time to eat, the Sandslash King finally recovered from its ball-like state.

It is very satisfied with its current life. Unlike in the wild, it no longer needs to desperately search for food and fight with other Pokémon to get enough to eat.

Although Chiba Maple often makes it do digging work, it's no problem for it. In fact, it feels uncomfortable if it doesn't dig some soil every day. Digging or burrowing is just like playing for it.

As for fighting and training, the Sandslash King doesn't want to live such a tiring life. Why stand up when you can lie down!

After a fulfilling day, Chiba Kaede went to bed early, but before sleeping, he didn't forget to use his life energy to refine the Torchic Pokémon egg. ♠♟ ➅9şĤ𝐮ⓧ.𝕔Ｏм 🍩😂

After the cleansing was completed, Chiba Kaede could feel that the life energy in the Torchic Pokémon egg had increased significantly, just like adding fuel to a campfire.

Nothing happened that night.

"Swallow, we've arrived in Kanaz City! You're about to overshoot it!"

It was nearly noon on the second day. After several hours of flying, they finally arrived in Kanaz City.

The giant swallow is now able to use the air currents in the high altitude to assist its flight. This method of flight greatly reduces the physical exertion required, significantly improving its endurance.

The Great Swallow was also immersed in this feeling. If it weren't for Chiba Kaede's reminder, it would have kept flying forward, not caring where it ended up.

New 69 Bookstore

After being disturbed, Swellow let out an annoyed cry and, following its trainer's instructions, slowly landed in a plaza in the center of Rustboro City.

Kanazawa is a large city in the western part of the Hoenn region. It has a large population and the streets are bustling with people.

When pedestrians saw Chiba Kaede land, they only glanced at the giant swallow briefly, probably because they had never seen such a large giant swallow before!

"Hello, do you know how to get to the Kanaz Gym?"

After Chiba Kaede recalled Swellow into its Poké Ball, he approached a slender young woman and asked her a question.

"If you keep walking straight ahead, you'll see a Trainer School. The Corsair Gym is right next to the school."

When the young lady saw that the person blocking her way was a handsome young man, she readily told him the location of the dojo.

"Thank you for your help, beautiful lady!"

Chiba Kaede politely thanked him.

"No, you're welcome!"

The young lady was a little embarrassed and amused by Chiba Kaede's praise.

Following the direction indicated by the young lady, Chiba Kaede walked for about 10 minutes and saw a school with a considerable area. He remembered that Dujuan, the Gym Leader of Kanaz City, was a teacher at this Trainer School.

Yes, my main job is being a teacher, and being a gym leader is just a side job!

However, Chiba Kaede's goal was to challenge the gym, so she didn't waste any time and went straight to find the gym's location.

Before long, he saw the Kanaz Gym next to the school.

"Hello, I'd like to challenge the Rustboro Gym. When can I start the challenge?"

After entering the dojo, Chiba Kaede noticed a receptionist and asked her for directions.

A gym challenge isn't something a challenger can just decide when to do; it depends on the gym leader's schedule. However, the waiting time for a reservation usually doesn't exceed 3 days.

"I'm sorry, Ms. Du Juan has a class today, so we can only schedule the challenge for tomorrow morning. Is that alright?"

The receptionist seemed to be consulting Chiba Kaede, but she didn't actually allow him to choose a time unless he wanted to postpone it.

"No problem, what time would be suitable for me to come tomorrow morning?"

Chiba Kaede continued to ask.

"Anytime after 9 a.m. is fine."

The receptionist replied.

"Okay, I'll come again tomorrow morning!"

Although he couldn't take on the challenge immediately, Chiba Kaede wasn't disappointed, since the delay wasn't long and was still within an acceptable range.

Since she had some free time in the afternoon, Chiba checked into the Pokémon Center and then went to the shopping center in Rustboro City. She hadn't brought back any souvenirs from her last trip, and Akiko Iida had been asking her for some!

After browsing for about an hour, Chiba Kaede finished selecting gifts for everyone. They were mostly local specialties from Kanaz City, along with some toys and clothes. They weren't actually worth much League Coins; the most important thing was the sentiment, showing that he hadn't forgotten their feelings.

Chiba didn't stay idle during the rest of the time. He found an empty spot in the backyard of the Pokémon Center and had Heracross and Machop continue their training.

Since Chiba knew that the Kanaz Gym adopted a 2v2 battle mode and that the opponents were using Rock-type Pokémon, sending Fighting-type Pokémon to fight was the best choice.

"Heracross, you can launch a few counterattacks today, but you can't use skills when you do.

Chiba Kaede did this to increase the difficulty of Arm Strength, allowing it to unleash its potential, and to prevent Heracross from using skills to counterattack, so that the sparring session could last longer.

"Hera!"

Hearing Chiba Kaede's words, Heracross happily rubbed his hands together in anticipation.

It wanted to vent its frustration from yesterday. As for not being able to use its skills, it didn't care. When they first met, it had subdued the little guy in front of it with a simple over-the-shoulder throw.

Arm Strength had no objection to this. It was fearless and did not back down even when it lost its right hand. It only regretted its own lack of strength.

Thanks to Chiba's adjustments, the overall situation became somewhat unfavorable for Machop. It was easy for Machop to be tripped up or thrown to the ground by Heracross. Fortunately, the place where they fought was a grassy area, which was relatively soft, so the damage it suffered was relatively minor.
