Siheyuan: Starting from the Old Society

The farm used to have a fish pond.

However, it had been dried up a long time ago.

After entertaining Su Yuan, Natsume led the elves on the farm to prepare to build a fish pond.

The previous fish pond was behind the farm hut.

But that place had long been converted into a vegetable garden by Natsume.

Natsume planned to build the fish pond in the Wangwang Valley at the foot of the mountain.

Some of the reclaimed land at the foot of the mountain has not yet been planted with crops, so it is just right for digging fish ponds.

After determining the location, Natsume led a group of elves to start excavation.

Sandshrews, Diggers, and Eevees.

Natsume commanded:"Everyone, use the digging tools to dig holes."

""Buei~"

The elves immediately began to dig the soil under them.

The excavated soil was piled up together, waiting to be used to build a dam.

The first fish pond covers a small area, only about one acre.

After the fish pond is built, Natsume plans to plant a circle of fruit trees around the fish pond.

When it is completed, it should look quite good.

The elves seem to have a vague concept of work and play.

After digging for a while, the elves have all turned into mud dolls.

They are very happy to work.

Swampert is the most excited.

It smeared the sticky mud all over its body, and then chased the Eevees around in the fish pond that has already taken shape.

Of course, there are also elves who recognize that they are working.

For example, a screw mole

""Ba hey ~"

The screw mole wiped his forehead and looked at the place he dug with a satisfied look. Suddenly, a piece of mud flew over and hit the screw mole in the face.

""Ka Mi."

Swampert, who was playing with Eevee, suddenly showed an embarrassed look.

""Hey!"

The screw mole angrily grabbed a piece of mud and threw it at the swamp jump fish.

""Hala~"

Swampert twisted his body and successfully dodged.

This made Screwmoth even angrier.

Screwmoth swung his hands like a wind and fire wheel, and threw a lot of mud at Swampert. Swampert dodged left and right and avoided all the mud.

But the Eevees were miserable.

Their faces were covered with mud.

"Bui."

The Eevees wiped the mud off their faces and angrily chased after 14 Screw Hamster.

Natsume sat on the embankment and smiled at the elves chasing and playing below.

Looking at these little cuties full of infinite energy, there is always a feeling of being healed.

On the mountain, Silver Companion looked at Natsume who was looking at the Eevees.

As an artificially created elf, Silver Companion was used as a machine from the beginning.

Its existence is just a tool and a weapon for the people around Silver Companion.

Therefore, Silver Companion does not actually have much affection for humans.

It just lives like a machine and obeys orders like a machine.

""Gaao?"

Motor Lizard came close to Silver Companion Beast.

Motor Lizard followed Silver Companion Beast's gaze and looked down, then communicated with Silver Companion Beast in Elvish:"So you are looking at Lord Natsume"

"He's playing with the Eevees again."

SilverBeast turned sideways and glanced at Motorlizard.

"You, have you always lived here?"

""Gaao."

Motorcycle Lizard shook its head.

Motorcycle Lizard told Silver Companion that it stayed in this farm only because it didn't know where to go.

It was the farm that took it in when it had nowhere to go.

Motorcycle Lizard began to tell Silver Companion about its past.

From how it met the poachers to how it came to the farm.

After listening to Silver Companion, Silver Companion asked:"Do you miss the past more, or do you want to stay here?"

Motorcycle Lizard showed a somewhat embarrassed expression.

Motorcycle Lizard didn't know how to answer, so it looked at Silver Companion and asked:"What about you?"

Silver Companion turned his gaze to Natsume and the others again.

Snap~

""Ouch."

A voice sounded.

The mud thrown by the screw mole hit a man in the face.

"All of you, be careful."

Natsume looked at the Swamp Leapers and warned them, then looked at the man who was hit and asked,"Are you okay?"

"It's okay, it's okay."

He wiped the mud off his face and said enthusiastically:"Master Natsume, I'm sorry to disturb you so suddenly."

"You can call me A Quan. I am a journalist."

"Reporters?"

There are indeed many reporters who want to come here for interviews.

However, Natsume rejected them all.

Natsume looked at him and said,"You should know that I have no intention of accepting interviews, right?"

Ah Quan quickly said,"I know."

"However, many people are very interested in your story, so we really want to do an exclusive interview with you."

"Of course, if Master Natsume really doesn't want to, can you tell me if there is any special reason?"

Natsume listened to Ah Quan's words and said casually:"There is no special reason, I just don't think it's necessary."

Ah Quan was excited when he heard what Natsume said,"If that's the case, then it means that Master Natsume is not actually unable to accept the interview, right?"

Natsume shrugged and said:"Maybe"

"I see"

"In that case, please fight me!"

Ah Quan suddenly said passionately:"If I win, I hope you can accept our interview."

Natsume listened to this and showed a surprised expression on his face.

"You want to challenge me?"

When the tourists who were taking pictures and watching nearby heard this, they also cast strange looks at A Quan."

Someone laughed and said,"Is this true? You actually want to challenge Master Natsume?"

"Hey, if the stakes are a fight, then there's no need to even start, right?"

"Hahaha, you don’t think you have a chance to win, do you?"

"Just give up, how can you possibly win?"

Ah Quan blushed slightly as he listened to the ridicule from the people around him, and then he said loudly:"Do you think you should give up just because you are not my opponent?"

"Besides, how can you know if you don't try this kind of thing?"

The people around listened to Ah Quan's voice, looked at each other, and then suddenly burst into even louder laughter.

"Please, is there any need to try this kind of thing?"

"If you can beat Master Natsume, why would you still be a reporter?"

Natsume patted the dirt off his body.

Natsume felt that this reporter named Ah Quan must have a certain degree of confidence.

Although Natsume didn't know where this confidence came from.

"The rules of the Farm Gym are that if you want to challenge me, you must first get our Farm Gym badge."

The Farm Gym currently has two types of gym badges, city-level and provincial-level.

To challenge a city-level gym, the farm will mostly use those Pokémon with average strength to fight.

For example, the evolved Felocer, or Houndoom and Pidgeot.

To challenge a provincial-level gym, it used to be Scallion Soldiers who would fight.

However, the strength of Scallion Soldiers is now far higher than that of ordinary challengers.

So they rarely participate in gym battles. Therefore, the challengers of the provincial gym are now mainly dealt with by Scaled Dragon and Parasaurolophus.

Quan listened to Natsume's words and felt a little nervous for some reason.

"Can't I just challenge you directly?"

Natsume smiled and said,"It depends on my mood.

"And now, I'm in a good mood, so it's OK."

A Quan heaved a sigh of relief.

He took out the Poké Ball and released his Pokémon.

"Come out, Mumuxiao!"

""Gu~"

This wooden owl looked very energetic and waved its wings enthusiastically to the people around it.

The people around looked at this wooden owl and laughed again.

"Not friends, are you kidding?"

"I thought you were going to release some kind of Pokémon, but it turns out it's just a Woodrow."

Natsume looked at the data of this Woodrow.

【Name: Wood Owl】

【Attribute: Grass / Flying】

【Level: 1v34

【Features: Long distance】

【Individual stats: HP (30), Attack (28), Defense (25), Special Attack (24), Special Defense (25), Speed (28)】

【Skills: Crash, Call, Leaf, Leaf Blade, Peck, Shadow Sneak, Photosynthesis, Random Attack, Pounce, Feather Dance】

【Potential: Gym】

(Carrying Secret Treasure: Unchanging Stone)

After Natsume read the data of Owl, he suddenly showed an expression of realization.

Natsume thought to himself:"So that's how it is, he is thinking of using Owl, so that I might send out a low-level Pokémon to fight."

Ah Quan had completely ignored the laughter around him at this time.

He looked at Natsume and said:"Gym Master Natsume, can we have a one-on-one match?"

Natsume looked at Ah Quan and smiled:"Sure, let's go"

"Let's go to the battlefield."

After saying this, Natsume looked at a Pidgeot standing on the embankment of a fish pond that had not yet been built and said,"Pidgeot, go and bring the frog over.

""Bi~"

Pidgeot responded, and then flew towards the training ground.

The level of Frog is almost the same as that of Owl Owl.

Owl Owl should be a good opponent for Frog.

Natsume and his group came to the battlefield of the farm.

After seeing Natsume come on the field, someone immediately said excitedly:"Master Natsume is going to fight in person?"

"Who is the opponent?"

The person who came with him said disdainfully:"It's just an ordinary reporter."

He simply told the audience around him what happened just now.

This caused the people around to boo in boredom.

The monarch snake looked at the noisy crowd and raised its tail slightly.

Looking at this scene, the tourists around suddenly quieted down.

The monarch snake is like an instructor on the farm. All the tourists who come here will become very honest under the gaze of the monarch snake.

Because if the monarch snake is angry, the vine whip will really whip

""Ku!" (To read exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)

The frog ran to Natsume's side.

Natsume looked at it and said:"How is your physical strength? Can you have a fight?"

""Ku."

The frog nodded.

The frog had just finished a round of training and had already rested.

The training plan was written by Natsume for the frog.

In the morning, the frog would do physical training.

The training method was mainly to shuttle through the forest with weights.

In the morning, it would do skill hit training on moving targets.

After the skill hit training, it would be reaction training. After these trainings, there would be actual combat training.

The frog took a look at his opponent.

This was a Woodrow.

Very good, today's actual combat opponent was a flying-type Pokémon with reverse attributes!

The frog really liked the training method given by Natsume.[]

Frog can feel his growth and fulfillment from the training.

After Natsume saw that Frog was ready, he looked at Rotom and said,"Let's get ready."

""Okay, Lotom~"

Rotom came to the center of the field and said,"The rules are one vs one. When one elf loses the ability to fight, the game ends."

"Now, the battle begins!"

Ah Quan immediately ordered:"Flying Leaf Swift Knife!"

""Frog, get out of the way."

Bang! Bang!

The frog quickly jumped back, and the leaves spinning rapidly in the air instantly shot towards the place where the frog had been standing, leaving deep pits behind with a bang.

"It's quite powerful."

Natsume praised Mumu Xiao's Flying Leaf Blade.

The audience around him also showed surprised expressions when they saw this scene.

"This Mumuxiao seems to be quite powerful."

Some people were not surprised by this.

""Sister Fan Shu, do you think Ah Quan can win?"

At this time, a girl in the crowd looked at a tall and elegant woman and asked nervously.

Fan Shu shook her head slightly.

She said softly,"It's hard to say."

"Since Natsume let Frog fight, I think he should have seen that Quan's Woodrow is very powerful."

"You figured it out? No way? That's too good to be true."

Fan Shu looked at Natsume on the field and said softly,"Master Natsume is the youngest trainer in the Dragon Kingdom Alliance and has the strength of a king."

"His eyesight is certainly not comparable to that of ordinary people.

"Don't look down on me."

Ah Quan said loudly:"I once worked hard to become a trainer."

"Mumuxiao, shadow sneak attack!"

Under Mumuxiao, a dark shadow quickly extended.

Quatouwa looked down at the dark shadow, and immediately a ball of water appeared in his hand and smashed it.

Bang~

The shadow dissipated in the splashing water.

"It’s not over yet, peck!"

""Gu~"

The owl accelerated its flight, and its mouth glowed white, and the light extended to its entire body.

The owl quickly rushed towards the frog.

"Frog, smoke"

""Ku~"

Peng~

White smoke filled the air, covering the body of the Quaking Frog.

A Quan quickly said:"Mumuxiao, use Feather Dance on the smoke!"

""Gu~"

Mumuxiao flew in the sky above the smoke.

When Mumuxiao was about to turn his body, a quack-headed frog suddenly jumped out of the smoke in front of him.

Not just one!

The quack-headed frogs used the shadow splitting technique in the smoke and jumped at the same time.

These quack-headed frogs surrounded Mumuxiao in an instant.

Mumuxiao looked around in panic.

Natsume said calmly:"Throw!"

Whoosh~

A large number of stones hit Mumuxiao at the same time.

Throwing is a rock-type skill, which has a double restraint on Mumuxiao.

Bang~

With a muffled sound, Mumuxiao's body suddenly fell to the ground.

"Mumuxiao, fly again!"

Ah Quan shouted nervously.

""Quack-headed frog, a flash of lightning."

On the battlefield, when the wood owl fell to the ground and flapped its wings to take off again, the quack-headed frog landed easily, kicked the ground, and quickly crashed into the wood owl.

Bang~

The wood owl was knocked away.

Looking at the flying wood owl, the quack-headed frog did not hold back at all, he pounced on it directly and hit it hard!

"Goo..."

Mumuxiao looked at the frog, rolled his eyes, and fainted.

【Tip: Frog gains 3021 experience points, and Frog's level is raised to level 33 (342/61232)]

Rotom flew to Owl's side and announced the result of the game.

"End of the game"

"Mumu lost his ability to fight, so the winner is Guatouwa"

"Ku~"

Quattoon looked at Rotom and urged him.

Quattoon said,"The game has just started warming up. Please help me arrange another game quickly."

"Loto, I think you should take a break."

Natsume looked at the frog and said,"Resting in between combat training is also very important."

"Let's take advantage of the break to watch other partners' battles."

"Watching battles is also a part of training."

Frog immediately ran to another battle field.

Frog's combat awareness has been significantly improved compared to when Natsume first met him.

The battle atmosphere in the farm gym is very strong, and there are battles here every day.

In such an atmosphere, even house elves will have a better understanding of combat.
