Elf: I Am a Farmer

Chapter 85 Saori

After much deliberation, Chiba Kaede thought of someone: Dr. Little Scroll, who lived far away in Weibai Town.

This is also the only research expert he has ever interacted with. With the idea of ​​taking a chance, Chiba Kaede plans to contact him when he has time and ask him about the fossil resurrection.

However, we can only put this matter aside for now. There's no rush to do this. He hasn't been to the artificial lake excavation site for several days. He can't just show his face and go back right away; that would be a bit unreasonable.

So, Chiba Kaede rolled up his pants and sleeves, jumped down, and then picked up a shovel and a wristband to fill the hole with soil.

Of course, Machop is more than ten times more efficient than him, so the purpose of Chiba Maple working with them is to appease them rather than actually get any results. After all, the elves are just simple-minded, not without their own ideas.

They have their own temperaments, and this repetitive labor is quite different from the training they receive on a daily basis.

If Chiba Kaede, the trainer, doesn't show up, then it won't be long before they just go on strike.

Since Chiba Kaede arrived, the somewhat dull excavation site seems to have been injected with vitality. Although the work efficiency has not improved significantly, the eyes of each Pokémon have become much more lively, at least they no longer look so absent-minded as before.

"Beep!"

Suddenly, a cry reached Chiba Kaede's ears. He was certain that the sound did not come from his own Pokémon.

Chiba Kaede immediately became alert, stopping her digging and looking towards the source of the sound. She saw a Pidgeot appear in the sky, approaching her. 💙☝ ➅❾ˢh𝓤x.ς𝕆ᵐ ☆♝

However, before it could get close, the giant swallow blocked its way and intimidated it with its sharp gaze, preventing it from crossing the line.

"Um, I didn't mean any harm. I just saw that it was very lively here, so I wanted to come and see for myself. I hope you don't misunderstand!"

Just then, a clear female voice came from Pidgeot's back; clearly, she was the Pidgeot's trainer.

"Great Swallow, come back now!"

Seeing this, Chiba Kaede immediately summoned Swellow. Knowing that a trainer had come to visit, he couldn't act unfriendly. Besides, they were on his territory, so he wasn't worried about the other party having any ulterior motives.

Without the giant swallow's obstruction, Pidgeot landed smoothly on the ground, and then saw a red-haired girl jump off its back. She was wearing a trench coat that looked like an adventure outfit, and she looked very capable and mature.

"Hello, my name is Saori. I came here out of curiosity. I hope I haven't disturbed your work."

The girl, Saori, smiled and introduced herself to Chiba Kaede.

"Hello, my name is Chiba Kaede. Welcome to our Chiba Farm. Just now, Swellow thought that some wild elves had wandered in, so it went to intercept you."

Although somewhat surprised by the way Saori made her entrance, Chiba Kaede, who rarely has guests visiting his farm, adopted a warm and hospitable attitude.

"It's quite lively here! I noticed the situation from afar in the sky, so I came down out of curiosity. I hope you don't mind. Also, your giant swallow is the largest I've ever seen. It suddenly appeared in front of us just now, and I was quite startled!"

Saori looked at the boy covered in dirt and continued speaking.

"As you can see, we're just digging, or rather, trying to expand the lake over there. As for the giant swallow, that fellow does grow quite fast. If it startled you just now, I apologize on its behalf!"

Chiba Kaede glanced at the Great Swallow and then apologized.

Saori was quite surprised to see so many spirits being mobilized.

She had initially assumed that a powerful trainer was commanding the Pokémon, but after observing the situation, she was surprised to discover that the boy in front of her was the one in charge.

"Are these proud swallows your spirits?"

Saori asked, pointing to the proud swallows that were carrying soil.

"They are considered part of our Chiba Farm, but to be precise, they shouldn't be considered my spirits. They are currently just following my Swellow."

Chiba Kaede explained.

Although he considered the girl before him a guest, he didn't want to follow her train of thought, so he changed the subject, saying, "Miss Saori, are you traveling in the Hoenn region?"

The reason for this question is that Pidgeot is not native to the Hoenn region, and it should be difficult to see Pidgeot populations in Hoenn. Therefore, she is most likely a trainer from another region.

"I come from Pyrenees City in the Kanto region. I am a Pokémon Coordinator. I have come to the Hoenn region at the invitation of the Pokémon Contest to be held in Slateport City next week."

Saori responded.

Chiba Maple also has some understanding of the Grand Contest, which focuses on showcasing the appearance and flashiness of the Pokémon's skills.

In the first round, contestants need to demonstrate the flair of their Pokémon's moves, and then several judges will score them, selecting the contestants with the highest scores to advance to the second round.

The second round is a Pokémon battle with only a five-minute countdown. The main objective is not to see who wins the battle, but to see who has the higher score remaining before the countdown ends.

Trainers who participate in the Contests are also known as Coordinators. They practice diligently every day to make their Pokémon showcase their abilities in a more captivating way.

To improve the precision of their skills, they use all sorts of props and sometimes combine skills to create even larger ones.

"A Coordinator? Although I haven't had much experience with them, I know it's a very glamorous profession. I think you must be a top-tier Coordinator, Saori!"

Chiba Kaede could tell from Saori's every move that she possessed an inner confidence, especially the pride and confidence she exuded when mentioning that she was a Trainer Coordinator. It would be impossible to cultivate such a temperament unless one was at the pinnacle of this profession.

Just like the Great Swallow, if it hadn't become the leader of the proud swallows, its temperament would definitely not be as majestic and imposing as it is now. You should know that before becoming the leader, the Great Swallow was more like a lone wolf, somewhat unruly.

"Xiao Feng, why don't you try becoming a Pokémon Coordinator? I think you can organize so many Pokémon to act according to your wishes. This ability can definitely take you very far on this path."

Saori looked at the still busy scene before her, which was not affected in the slightest by her arrival. Each spirit was still completing its task in an orderly manner, so she made a suggestion.

"Um, thank you for your kindness, Ms. Saori, but I'll be focusing on the farm's development for now. Also, I want to challenge for this year's Ayaka Yui Tournament, so I'm sorry to say I can't!"

Chiba Kaede has no interest in becoming a Coordinator, perhaps because he has a poor sense of artistry and simply cannot appreciate the way the Grand Contest is conducted.

"That's a real shame. I hope I'll have the chance to have a Pokémon battle with you sometime. I won't disturb you while you're working today."

Saori was somewhat disappointed to see that Chiba Kaede had no interest in becoming a Trainer Coordinator.

The mainstream in this world is still Pokémon Trainers, so she hopes to encourage more talented people to become Pokémon Trainers, thereby attracting more people to the Contests.

"Miss Saori, I hope we'll meet again someday. When that time comes, I'll definitely challenge you!"

"I'm also looking forward to that day. Goodbye!"

After saying goodbye to Chiba Kaede, Saori immediately mounted Pidgeot and flew towards Slateport City. Perhaps for her, meeting Chiba Kaede was just a bit of fun on her journey.

After the incident of Saori's chance visit, Chiba Kaede continued to devote herself to the expansion project of the artificial lake, and nothing happened this time until sunset.

However, Chiba Kaede enjoyed the grassy field service provided by the shuttlecock flower with the other elves, recovering his body which was a little sore from the work.
