Elf: I Am a Farmer

Chapter 67 Turkey Hatching

After purchasing the Resurrection Grass and Vitality Root, Aysa chatted with the old man in Takagaya for a while before taking their leave. 🐝ൠ 😝🌷

Afterwards, Chiba Kaede arrived at the Fuma Dojo at Aysa's enthusiastic invitation. It was already close to noon, and Aysa planned to cook him lunch herself.

However, Chiba Kaede had a rather difficult time during this meal. It wasn't that Aya's cooking was bad; on the contrary, her food looked and tasted quite good, but the flavors were a bit unpleasant.

Looking at the table full of bright red dishes, Chiba Kaede didn't know how to describe them. Apart from rice, which was the staple food, every dish contained chili peppers, and they were all different varieties.

Anyway, after this meal, Chiba Kaede learned a lot about the varieties and knowledge of chili peppers.

He can actually eat spicy food, but his opinion on spiciness is somewhat different from Aya's.

As Chiba Kaede ate the dishes that Aya had specially prepared with less chili to suit his taste, his eyes welled up with tears. He barely managed to get through the lunch, suppressing the urge to breathe fire from his throat.

After the meal, Chiba Kaede took out a bottle of Moo Moo Milk and tried to calm her tongue's protest.

Remembering the Torchic Pokémon egg still in his backpack, Chiba Kaede took it out and checked it. There were only a few days left until the egg hatched, and he planned to keep it outside as much as possible so as not to miss its hatching.

"Oh, I saw your Pokémon egg yesterday. I forgot to ask what kind of Pokémon it is."

Just then, Aysa, who had finished washing the dishes, walked in and saw Chiba Kaede examining a Pokémon egg. She couldn't help but ask him curiously.

"This is a Torchic fairy egg, which I obtained from Professor Birch in Whitetown."

Seeing Aysa's curiosity, Chiba Kaede didn't keep her in suspense and answered directly. ஜ۩۞۩ஜ ஜ۩۞۩ஜ

"Oh, it's a Fire-type Torchic! That's wonderful! I'll take you to a great place where Fire-type Pokémon hatched there will have significantly improved stats!"

When Aysa saw that Chiba Maple's Pokémon egg was a Fire-type Torchic, she quickly recommended it.

"Is there really such a magical place? Wouldn't that be too much trouble for you?"

Chiba Kaede was very interested when he heard that there was a hatchery that could improve Torchic's aptitude, but he was also afraid that it might be some kind of family secret place. If Aysa took him there, it would make Aysa's grandfather angry, so he quickly asked.

"Relax, relax. Actually, the place I'm talking about is a naturally formed cave at the top of Chimney Mountain. People in our town can go there to hatch Fire-type Pokémon eggs. Many Fire-type Pokémon at our LavaCleaver Gym are also hatched there. That place naturally gathers a lot of Fire-type energy, which is very beneficial for hatching Fire-type Pokémon."

As if she knew Chiba Kaede's concerns, Aya explained.

"Thank you for your help, Aysa!"

Chiba Kaede breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that other people in Fuma Town could also hatch Pokémon inside.

However, he also knew that without Asha's information, as an outsider, he wouldn't even know about this place, let alone let the turkeys hatch inside.

Locals would be trying to keep such a magical place a secret, so how could they let outsiders in so easily?

Mt. Chimney is a volcano over 1500 meters high located in the north-central part of the Hoenn region. Although it has not erupted for many years, the volcanic ash it emits indicates that it is a dormant volcano.

"So how do we get there?"

Chiba Kaede inquired.

"To save time, let's take a flying Pokémon. Come on, Charizard!"

After Aysa finished speaking, she immediately released a strong Charizard.

Looking at the imposing Charizard before him, Chiba Kaede felt that the Charizard that had seemed decent in Professor Birch's backyard was now just its underling.

"This Charizard is my grandfather's Pokémon, and now he's entrusted it to me to take care of. Would you like to ride Charizard with me, or ride Swellow by yourself?"

"Asa asked."

"I'll just ride my own giant swallow!"

Seeing the Charizard staring at him, Chiba Kaede decisively chose his Swellow.

It wasn't that he was a coward, but the pressure from Charizard was just too intense. He felt that if he chose to ride Charizard together, he might be met with a fire breath attack, and Chiba Kaede felt that his fire resistance wasn't high enough yet, so he might not be able to withstand it.

"Let's go then. You have Swellow follow Charizard!"

After Asha finished speaking, she flipped herself onto the fire-breathing dragon, and then the dragon flapped its wings and flew directly into the sky.

"Come out, Great Swallow, let's catch up!"

Without delay, Chiba Kaede released Swellow and sent it to chase Charizard.

Ever since the last flying race with Altaria, Swellow has taken a liking to the sport. After Chiba Kaede settled in, she launched herself into the air and quickly chased after Charizard.

Seeing a large bird flying towards it at an extremely fast speed, the Charizard ahead also increased its flight speed in tacit agreement, trying to shake off the Giant Swellow.

However, in terms of raw power, Swellow might not be a match for the Charizard in front of it right now, but in terms of speed, Charizard is far inferior.

Charizard's speed is at most similar to that of Swellow before it learned Tailwind, but now that Swellow has learned to control its airflow, its speed is more than 50% faster than before.

Chiba Kaede had Swellow hang not far behind Charizard, watching Charizard accelerate. No matter how fast Charizard sped up its flight, Swellow was able to stay firmly behind it.

In this high-speed contest, the two quickly arrived near the cave that Aysa had mentioned.

After landing, Charizard looked at Swellow with a strange expression. Just as Chiba Kaede was worried that Charizard might unleash a Flamethrower on Swellow, Asha put it into a Poké Ball.

Afterwards, Chiba Kaede recalled Swellow into its Poké Ball and followed Aysa into the somewhat inconspicuous cave.

Not long after entering, Chiba Kaede felt a wave of heat hit him, the temperature rising by more than ten degrees. The air was filled with a dry heat, and the deeper he went into the cave, the more obvious this feeling became. By this time, Chiba Kaede was already drenched in sweat.

However, it seemed as if nothing had happened to Aysa; she didn't even shed a few drops of sweat, which shows how high her fire resistance was.

"We're here. Just take the Pokémon egg out of the incubator and put it there!"

Chiba followed Asha to the deepest part of the cave, where there was even a lava river flowing. Asha pointed to a man-made platform and asked him to put the elf egg on it.

Without saying a word, Chiba Kaede placed the Torchic Pokémon egg in the center of the platform as instructed.

As soon as he placed the Pokémon egg on it, he felt tiny sparks of light being drawn to the Torchic Pokémon egg, all of which flew into it.

As time went by, more and more flames gathered inside the fairy egg, and Chiba Maple even had the illusion that the air seemed to have become cooler.

At this moment, Chiba Kaede seemed to be able to feel the Torchic Pokémon egg cheering and jumping for joy, and the life energy inside the egg was slowly increasing.

"Your Pokémon egg is quite extraordinary. None of the Pokémon I've hatched before have absorbed as much fire-type energy as this one. It's sure to grow into a powerful Pokémon!"

Aya sighed to Chiba Kaede.

The longer a Pokémon egg absorbs fire-type energy, the better the Pokémon's potential inside. Chiba Kaede's Torchic Pokémon egg has already absorbed energy for far longer than the Pokémon she has hatched before.

After listening to Aysa's words, Chiba Kaede knew that on the one hand, the Pokémon egg was indeed of very high quality, and on the other hand, he had used his abilities to enhance the potential of the Pokémon egg, making the life energy within it extremely vigorous.

After a while, the Torchic egg finally stopped attracting the firelight, and cracks appeared all over its surface. Chiba Kaede knew that the Torchic was about to hatch.

"Your turkeys are about to hatch, I'll excuse myself for now!"

Without waiting for Chiba Kaede's reaction, Aya turned and left.

This is because newly hatched Pokémon will develop a positive impression of the first person they see. Therefore, it is best not to have anyone else present when the Pokémon egg is hatching, so as not to affect the rapport between the trainer and the Pokémon. As a Gym Leader, Aysa would certainly not make such a mistake.

"Chamo!"

A flash of white light appeared, and a chick-like sprite appeared on the high platform—Torchic.

Turkeys have a body similar to a chick, with a predominantly orange body covered in fluffy feathers and two very small wings.

However, the Torchic in front of Chiba Kaede had three tufts of feathers on its head that were the color of flames, like a raging fire. Normally, its head feathers would only turn red after it evolved into a Brontosaurus.
