As they spoke, it made him hate the Spearow that had occupied his territory even more.
"Alright, I can agree to that request."
Lin Feng nodded readily.
A Pidgeot that had just evolved was probably around Gym level in strength.
Although the Plantation could not currently produce a Gym-level Pokémon.
Lin Feng believed that.
It would not take long to raise Pidgeotto to Gym level.
"Come on, eat this, and you'll find out whether you can help your kin reclaim their territory in the future!"
With that, Lin Feng took out a Rare Candy.
"Pidgeotto?"
Hearing Lin Feng agree, Pidgeotto hesitated almost not at all before swallowing the Rare Candy.
Feeling the energy within its body grow stronger, it looked at Lin Feng with delight.
Lin Feng, however, sighed. "So innocent..."
A human's verbal promise—he believed it the moment it was made. And when given something, he ate it without question.
This Pidgeotto seemed like it was desperately clutching at straws.
"From now on, you'll guard the crops in this Plantation. If you want to eat something, you can come down and pick it yourself. Your usual job will be stopping Pokémon like Rattata from entering the Plantation."
Evergreen Power flowed out, turning into specks of green fluorescence that fell over Pidgeotto's body.
The impact injuries Milotic's Water Gun had left on him healed completely within just a few seconds.
Come to think of it, this was Lin Feng's first time using the healing function of Evergreen Power.
He had not expected it to work so well.
Pidgeotto flapped his wings in astonishment, staring in disbelief at injuries that had healed in the blink of an eye. He tested his wings with another flap and shot straight into the sky.
Lin Feng was not worried that he would fly away.
That Rare Candy was the key to keeping him here.
Congratulations to the host for increasing Pidgeotto's Joy Value from 10% to 60%. Reward: ten bags of Golden Fertilizer, three Rare Candies, and one Agility TM.
Sure enough, after flying around for only a while,
Pidgeotto landed atop a tall pine tree outside the Plantation, his sharp eyes sweeping the surroundings as he assumed a vigilant stance.
"Water, land, and air. All covered."
Lin Feng clicked his tongue, then studied the terrain of the entire Plantation as he considered how to plant the fruit trees he had bought.
Soon, he had an idea.
Once Oran Berry Trees grew, their branches and leaves would flourish. They could be planted along the Plantation's fence to block outsiders from looking in.
After all, the Plantation's little secrets could not be exposed too much in the early stages.
Peachy Fruit Trees grew very tall, so Lin Feng chose to plant them along the paths. That way, there would be extra shade when entering the Plantation in summer.
Both fruits replenished a Pokémon's stamina.
Peachy Fruit Trees bore a large number of fruits every year, while Oran Berries were slightly more effective.
As for the final Aspear Berry seed,
Lin Feng chose to plant it beside the Water Reservoir.
After choosing the locations, Lin Feng picked two Spicy Pepper Fruits and handed them to Sandshrew, who had glanced toward them more times than anyone could count.
"Sandshrew, please dig holes in the spots I marked."
"Sandshrew~!"
Sandshrew gave a silly grin. After accepting the two Spicy Pepper Fruits, he carefully set them on the ridge between the fields, then began digging enthusiastically at the locations Lin Feng had indicated.
He preferred to enjoy good food after finishing his work.
Lin Feng did not stop him.
It had to be said,
Sandshrew was truly good at farm work.
Perhaps it had something to do with Grandpa Qin.
He was getting old and could no longer handle much farm work, yet he disliked sitting idle. So Qin Shu's parents had bought a Sandshrew like this to keep him company and lighten the old man's burden at the same time.
Lin Feng did not remain idle either. He took out the saplings he had bought, roots and soil included, from the Storage Ball. Following the holes Sandshrew had dug, he planted them one by one.
Meanwhile, Milotic sprayed water to irrigate them.
After planting all the Peachy Fruit Trees and Oran Berry Trees,
Lin Feng asked Sandshrew to till another patch of land, then planted the watermelon seeds he had bought.
Finally, under Sandshrew's delighted gaze, Lin Feng gave him a large bag of Spicy Pepper Fruits and told him to come straight to the Breeding House whenever he wanted to eat.
There was no helping it.
For the Aspear Berry beside the Water Reservoir, he had to use Special Grade Golden Fertilizer.
He could still use ordinary Golden Fertilizer in front of Sandshrew.
But the Special Grade kind was a little too shocking.
Special Grade Golden Fertilizer—could increase a plant's growth efficiency by 300 to 1,000 times.
Even at the lowest possible efficiency,
Special Grade Golden Fertilizer could make plants grow in a day what would normally take nearly a year.
Maybe the seed would sprout the moment the fertilizer was scattered?
Taking out the Aspear Berry seed, Lin Feng placed it into the hole beside the Water Reservoir under Milotic's curious gaze. After lightly covering it with a layer of soil, he scattered the Special Grade Golden Fertilizer over it.
The Golden Fertilizer sank into the soil the instant it touched it, quickly vanishing without a trace.
Lin Feng could not help nodding at Snivy. "Good! In a month at most, you'll be in for a treat~!"
"Snivy?"
Snivy looked curiously at the buried seed, somewhat puzzled.
"You'll know in a month." Lin Feng kept her in suspense.
After all,
There was not much point in explaining it now.
Snivy's Ability was Contrary, but at the moment, it could not offer her much help.
So keeping quiet for now was also a kind of "kindness~"
"Snivy..."
Snivy looked helplessly at her Trainer.
Her Trainer was awful...
He had stirred up her curiosity.
"Oh, right, there's this too."
Lin Feng took another item out of the System Space: a pale blue, elongated prismatic Crystal.
The Crystal shimmered with flowing light and radiant energy, highlighting how extraordinary it was.
Without question, this was an S-rank secret treasure—the Ocean Crystal.
An Energy Crystal said to maintain the operation of the Ocean Temple.
"Milotic, come here. Take this to the center of the Water Reservoir and bury it in the soil."
"Milo~"
Milotic raised her head from the water, carefully held the Ocean Crystal in her mouth, and swam downward.
The moment the Ocean Crystal touched the water, the entire Water Reservoir seemed to gain a luminous sheen, radiating dense energy.
This continued until the Ocean Crystal was buried beneath the ground.
Seeing this, Lin Feng nodded.
With this Ocean Crystal,
The water in the Water Reservoir would slowly become rich in energy.
It would be an excellent aid to Milotic's growth.
When he looked up again, Milotic wore a slightly intoxicated expression. "Milo~" (So comfortable... it feels so comfortable...)
"There's also a Water Stone. You can absorb that too."
Lin Feng took another Water Stone out of the System Space and handed it to Milotic's
This series of gifts made Milotic's body tremble, as though she were about to wipe away tears again.
She had suffered since childhood, living in mud and marshes. Faced with such a wonderful place to live, she could not help feeling both happy and bittersweet...
Only after Lin Feng patted her head and said, "Life will only get better from here on out,"
Did she slip back into the Water Reservoir.
After settling Milotic's affairs, Lin Feng turned his gaze toward the lush, thriving pasture grass nearby.
He sighed. "I still have to cut the pasture grass..."
At that moment,
A powerful desire to raise a Psychic-type Pokémon echoed in his heart.
Or maybe raising a Scyther would be pretty good too...
