Elf: I Am a Farmer

Chapter 9 Daily Training

"Ghost Treecko, use the Seed Machine Gun!"

Rina Usui gave instructions to the wooden mummy. ✋♣ ❻9𝓢ʰυˣ.¢Ⓞ𝔪 🐠👣

"Proud Swallow, dodge, then attack with your wings!"

Treecko's Seed Machine Gun was easily dodged by Taillow, which then imbued its wings with Flying-type energy and flew towards Treecko.

"Ghostly Treecko, use Slap!"

Ultimately, Tailwing's wing attack collided with Treecko's tail.

Unfortunately, the power of the move that Treecko used in its haste was no match for the wing attack of Tumbleweed, causing Treecko to be knocked away and crash into the wall.

"Alright, stop now, Aoguyan!"

Seeing that the Tree Spirit was already seriously injured, Chiba Kaede called out to the Tall Bone Swallow, who was about to continue her attack.

"Ugh, I lost again!"

Rina Usui sighed in frustration.

"Rina, your Treecko strength has improved a lot, you really don't need to be sad!"

Seeing Rina Usui looking dejected, Kaede Chiba quickly comforted her.

These past few days, Rina Usui has been coming to him every day to have a match.

Although the outcome of each battle was the same, Chiba Kaede could clearly feel that Treekyo's strength was rapidly increasing, and their teamwork was also getting better and better.

Of course, Chiba Kaede and Taikuen were not idle either. Treecko specifically learned the Seed Machine Gun skill in order to be able to hit Taikuen in flight, while Taikuen also learned the Wing Attack during its battle with Treecko.

"It seems my abilities are still somewhat inferior to yours. I've been here for several days now, so I plan to continue my journey tomorrow."

"Once my Treecko is stronger, I'll come back to challenge you!"

Rina Usui said earnestly to Kaede Chiba.

"Okay, I'll be waiting for you!"

Chiba Kaede was surprised that Rina Usui, an introverted girl, had such a strong competitive spirit. Perhaps this is why Professor Birch valued her and gave her a starter Pokémon and a Pokédex!

Only with such an indomitable spirit can one go further on the path of becoming a Pokémon trainer.

In recent days, although Taikuyan has been battling Treecko every day, it is still far less intense than the amount of training it receives in the forest.

Previously, due to a lack of funding, the food provided by the Pokémon Center alone was insufficient to meet the energy needs for Taillow's training.

However, he received 50 Alliance Coins in compensation yesterday. Even after deducting the 40 Alliance Coins he spent on the farm, he still has 10 Alliance Coins at his disposal, so Aoguyan's training can begin.

He has already purchased enough Energy Cubes from the Pokémon Shop to train Taillow for a week. Of course, with Taillow's current strength, using Basic Energy Cubes is sufficient.

The Energy Cubes sold in the Spring Blossom Town Pokémon Shop are all non-elemental Energy Cubes. If you want an Energy Cube that corresponds to a Pokémon's element, you can only have it custom-made by a Pokémon Breeder or buy it from a Pokémon Shop in a big city.

This is also one of the disadvantages of living in a small place; resources about elves are relatively scarce.

Of course, Chiba Kaede also bought a set of the essential equipment for trainers. He greatly admired the technology of this world, such as the space backpack, which is a very common piece of magical spatial equipment in this world.

Of course, once you think about how a small Poké Ball can capture Pokémon of all shapes and sizes, it doesn't seem so hard to understand.

There are also tents for outdoor camping, cooking utensils, etc., all of which can be easily packed into a small backpack. ♟☹ ❻9丂𝐡ยx.ςỖⓜ 🍮🎈

Of course, the space backpack he bought was only the most basic one, with an internal space of about 1 cubic meter, but it was more than enough for him at the moment.

Of course, you should also buy some Poké Balls when you visit the Pokémon Shop, otherwise you won't be able to catch the Pokémon you like in the future.

These items cost Chiba Maple 1.2 Alliance Coins.

This made Chiba Kaede sigh deeply. Without the compensation, how long would it have taken him to earn so many Alliance Coins!

Moreover, once the number of elves increases, the daily food expenses alone will require a lot of Alliance Coins.

Of course, if you're just raising the elf as a pet, the cost might not be too high.

However, to quickly improve a Pokémon's strength, a large amount of resources need to be invested.

The most basic requirement is to provide the Pokémon with enough energy. In general, being a Pokémon trainer is a very expensive profession.

After making these preparations, Chiba Kaede led Aogu Yan to the outskirts of the Orange Blossom Forest outside Chunhua Town.

That's right, the forest that trapped Chiba Maple for nearly a month is Petalburg Woods. It's a vast forest that surrounds many towns in the Hoenn region, and Spring Blossom Town is one of them.

Chiba Kaede's training intensity was simply too much. He could only train her in a secluded place, otherwise, if others saw him, they would think he was abusing her!

Aoguyan hasn't trained for a week. Although it has been fighting frequently during this time, its strength hasn't improved as quickly as before.

"Hiss, hiss!"

Aogu Yan didn't find the training difficult; on the contrary, she was very excited.

The proud swallow was already itching for a workout and wanted to train hard.

This time, what was hanging on Swellow wasn't a stone, but a weight-bearing item that Chiba Kaede bought from the Pokémon Shop. It could add or remove weight according to the Pokémon's strength, so Chiba Kaede didn't need to search around for suitable stones.

During this period of battle, Aoguyan's strength has actually improved quite a bit. Originally, Qianye Feng only wanted to give it a weight of 25 kilograms, but Aoguyan felt it was too light and eventually asked to increase it to 30 kilograms.

This weight was just above the Aoguyan's load-bearing limit, and the Aoguyan could only barely fly by desperately flapping its wings.

Moreover, its flight was not stable. After flying for only a short while, the proud swallow was already covered in sweat, but it did not give up and continued to train.

Keep in mind that Chiba Kaede's current weight is only 35 kilograms. If Aogu Yan's physique were to improve further, she could carry him in flight even earlier.

Generally, only after Taillow evolves into Swellow can it carry its trainer in flight.

As if trying to make up for the training she had missed, Aoguyan trained exceptionally hard today, using up all three of Qianye Feng's healing opportunities before finally stopping.

By then, the last rays of the setting sun were already falling on their faces, and Chiba Kaede finally stopped training for the day.

At this moment, he was also soaked in sweat. Since Aogu Yan's training did not require his attention, he was also doing physical training.

"Xiaofeng, what happened to you?"

Miss Joey looked at Chiba Kaede, who was soaking wet, and couldn't help but ask.

"Good evening, Miss Joy. Today, Swann and I were doing some Pokémon training, and we got quite a bit of exercise, so this is what happened."

Chiba Kaede explained to Miss Joey.

"Oh, I see. Training should be moderate; you can't force it!"

Miss Joey advised.

Thank you for your concern, I will do what I can!

Knowing that the other person was concerned about him, Chiba Kaede could only reply in accordance with Miss Joey's words.

"By the way, Miss Officer Jenny came looking for you this afternoon, but you weren't there. She asked me to tell you to come to the police station at 9 a.m. tomorrow."

Miss Joey seemed to remember something and said to Chiba Kaede.

"Okay, I understand. I'll be there on time tomorrow. Thank you, Miss Joey!"

Chiba Kaede knew that there must have been progress on the farm matter, which was why Officer Jenny came to find him, but he happened to be away for training.

After dinner, the two of them went straight back to their dorm. After taking a shower, they went straight to sleep, as they had used up too much energy that day.

The next morning

After a night's sleep, Chiba Kaede and Aogu Yan regained their energy, but since they had to go see Officer Jenny today, they probably wouldn't be able to train.

After breakfast, Chiba Kaede and Usui Rina said their final goodbyes.

"It's a pity you don't have a cell phone yet, otherwise we could add each other on social media and keep in touch more often!"

Rina Usui said somewhat embarrassedly.

"It's okay, just leave your contact number, I'll call you back once I buy a new phone!"

Chiba Kaede had originally planned to buy a phone, but since he didn't know the situation on the farm and needed to keep some Alliance Coins to maintain the farm, he temporarily gave up on the purchase.

After receiving the paper from Rina Usui, Kaede Chiba carefully put it into his pocket.

"Xiao Feng, I'll be going now. Goodbye!"

"Goodbye, Rina!"

Chiba Kaede watched as Usui Rina walked away.
