Elf: I Am a Farmer

Chapter 70 Gracidia Flower

"Gracidia flower!"

Upon hearing the name, Chiba Kaede's mind raced, finally settling on one name: Shemi. ♔💋 ➅9𝐒ĤǗ𝐱.ᑕ𝐨м 💘💥

In its land form, Shaymi resembles a white hedgehog. Its body is white, with lush, fresh green grass covering its upper body, dotted with a few yellow spots. It has a pair of pink flowers on each side of its body, green eyes, and short, white legs.

In its sky form, Shaymi resembles a dog with longer, green legs. It has red, scarf-like fur around its neck, green fur covering its head, and white wings on either side of its eyes, enabling it to fly.

Shemi lives in a flower garden. As long as she curls up, she looks just like a flower, and no one can tell that she is a flower.

It has the power to break down toxins in the atmosphere and instantly transform barren land into flowerbeds.

When people rejoice at the end of the harsh winter with the changing of the seasons and offer their gratitude to the heavens, Shemi appears and brings flowers to the desolate earth.

When it is gently held in a human's arms and feels gratitude, its whole body will bloom with flowers.

When she smells the fragrance of rare flowers, her petite body will transform into a sky-like form amidst the radiance.

It is said that to convey gratitude, they fly into the sky during the Gracidia flower blooming season.

That's right, the Gracidia flower is the tool, or rather the medium, that Shaymi uses to transform into his sky form.

"I'd like to ask if you sell Gracidia seeds here?"

Chiba Kaede inquired.

That's right, he plans to plant Gracidia flowers, ideally creating a vast sea of ​​blossoms. The chances are slim, but maybe it will attract wild Shemi to settle here. 👌💀 ❻9𝔰ℍＵ𝓍.Ⓒㄖм 🐣👊

Even if he couldn't subdue Shaymin, as long as he could get it to help improve the farm's environment, it would be a huge profit for him.

"Yes, I do have some, but I don't have many Gracidia seeds right now, so I can only sell you a very small quantity. I hope you can understand!"

Ayako was surprised that the boy in front of her also wanted to grow Gracidia flowers. She thought he wanted to buy some blooming Gracidia flowers to give as gifts.

However, she did not refuse. She was very happy that someone liked and wanted to grow this flower, because the more people grow it, the more people can see this beautiful flower.

"Thank you so much, boss!"

Chiba Kaede wasn't sure if the other party would sell him the seeds of the Gracidia flower, since he thought this flower was very precious. He didn't expect the other party to agree without even thinking about it.

"My name is Ayako. I opened this flower shop because I love being around beautiful flowers!"

Ayako explained.

"My name is Chiba Kaede, you can just call me Kaede. I come from Chunhua Town, where there is a large area of ​​land. I plan to plant Gracidia flowers there."

Chiba Kaede also introduced herself.

"I see. After you've grown the Gracidia flowers, could you supply them to my flower shop? My land area is too small, so I can only grow a limited number of Gracidia flowers, which is a bit of a problem for me!"

Ayako didn't know if Chiba Kaede could grow Gracidia flowers, but she still made the request, hoping that the boy in front of her might bring her a surprise!

"Of course, no problem. But it will take a while, since I'll need to cultivate a large enough Gracidia plantation."

Chiba Kaede hadn't expected Ayako to want him to be a supplier of Gracidia flowers, but thinking about it, it seemed feasible. As long as he grew enough Gracidia flowers, providing some to her wouldn't make much difference. ✌😳 ➅➈ѕ𝓱𝔲乂.𝔠𝓞𝐦 ☟🐠

"That's wonderful, Xiaofeng! Wait a moment, I'll go get you some Gracidia flower seeds!"

Ayako was very happy to receive Chiba Kaede's affirmative answer, and then turned around and went upstairs to get the seeds.

Chiba Kaede finally had time to look around the flower shop. Although the shop wasn't particularly large, it didn't feel crowded. Each type of bouquet was placed in a suitable location, giving those who entered a unique ambiance.

Even Chiba Kaede, who doesn't know much about flowers, could feel Ayako's sincerity. She wasn't just doing business; she genuinely loved these flowers and enjoyed the joy they brought to people.

"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. These are the seeds of the Gracidia flower."

Ayako handed a small bag to Chiba Kaede and apologized.

"You're too kind. I should be the one thanking you."

Chiba Kaede took the small bag and said with a smile.

Afterwards, Chiba Kaede and Ayako exchanged phone numbers. During the exchange, he also learned a lot from Ayako about her experience in growing Gracidia flowers and how to deal with problems.

Chiba Kaede could sense that Ayako had no intention of holding back at all, and had told him everything she knew about cultivating Gracidia flowers, which showed her character.

"Thank you so much for your guidance, Ms. Ayako. With this planting experience, I am confident that I will be able to grow Gracidia flowers."

Before parting, Chiba Kaede solemnly thanked Ayako.

"I also hope to receive good news from you, Xiaofeng!"

Ayako smiled and waved goodbye to him, saying with anticipation.

After leaving the beautiful flower shop, Chiba Kaede headed to the Violet Gym with a heart full of joy from his trip. The rewards of this trip were more than he had expected, and it seemed that choosing to travel more was the right decision.

If he stays at Chiba Farm forever, he will miss out on many opportunities.

Although farm life is good, he needs to have more power to protect it. Otherwise, if a disaster really strikes one day, he will not have enough power to protect everything he has. At that time, even if he regrets it, it will be too late.

Chiba Farm is his safe haven, and he will do his best to build it up.

This is his and his elves' future home. He wants to bring all the beauty in the world into it and build a beautiful and harmonious ideal kingdom that belongs to him and his elves.

With high hopes for the future, Chiba Kaede finally arrived at the Violet Gym.

The Mauville Gym is cylindrical in shape and golden in color. Above the main entrance is a huge lightning symbol, which is very imposing and perfectly reflects the characteristics of an Electric-type gym, allowing challengers to understand its features even before entering.

"Hello, I'd like to take on a gym challenge. When is the available time?"

After entering, Chiba Kaede went straight to the front desk to inquire.

"Oh, you want to challenge Master Tetsuya? I wonder how many gym badges you have so far?"

The receptionist at the Violet Dojo is a blond-haired apprentice named George, and it happens to be his turn to be on duty at the dojo today.

"I've already obtained 3 gym badges. Is there a limit to the number of badges I can challenge the Mauville Gym?"

Chiba Kaede was also a little puzzled when she heard the other party's question, since the previous gym challenges had not required a certain number of badges.

"No, that's not it. It's just that Master stipulated that if a trainer has fewer than 3 badges, the battle will be a 2v2 battle, and if they have more than 3 badges, the battle will be a 3v3 battle. Yours is a 3v3 battle."

George, clearly not facing this question for the first time, gave a very official explanation.

"I see. When can I take on the challenge?"

Upon hearing the other party's explanation, Chiba Kaede felt that this method of combat was quite humane.

When most trainers challenge for the first few badges, they have relatively few Pokémon and their battle strength is not yet fully formed. It is very likely that they cannot gather three main Pokémon. Obviously, the Mauville Gym set up the challenge rules with this in mind.

"Let me see. I'll schedule it for tomorrow afternoon; the challenge slots for tomorrow morning are already full!"

George flipped through a notebook and then answered.

Chiba Kaede had no objection to this. After registering his information in the notebook provided by George, he left the Violet Dojo.

Looking at the time, it was already 1 p.m., and Chiba Kaede realized that her Pokémon hadn't had lunch yet. She hurriedly ran to the Pokémon Center to register them and then fed them.

Because he ate a little late, Chiba Kaede was scolded by a group of elves.

In particular, a certain unknown swallow was very angry, feeling that its trainer had become arrogant and hadn't even thought of it when going to the food street to eat.
