Farming Artifact

"Alright, let's start training now."

Aiven glanced at the Petilils and Cherubi currently training, then spoke to the Ironclad Rhinoceros in front of him.

Before training the Ironclad Rhinoceros, Aiven carefully observed its physical condition and formulated a training plan specifically for it.

Creating a training plan based on a Spirit's condition was arguably one of the essential skills for a Pokémon Breeder.

He approached the Ironclad Rhinoceros, gently touching a deep scar on its body. The Ironclad Rhinoceros possessed both Rock and Ground type attributes.

The moment he first saw the Ironclad Rhinoceros, Aiven had judged that its physical condition wasn't particularly strong, and its Rock-type talent was average.

In comparison, its Ground-type talent was quite good. Its steady gait while riding in the carriage previously was proof of this.

Therefore, he deduced that one of the Ironclad Rhinoceros's parents must have been a Ground-type Spirit with excellent Ground-type talent.

"Ironclad Rhinoceros, show me the moves you know?"

Aiven led the Ironclad Rhinoceros to an open space. However, faced with his question, the Ironclad Rhinoceros seemed a bit confused.

After a moment, the Ironclad Rhinoceros began to gather its strength. Then, it charged forward, its body enveloped in a common type of energy, intending to use the Tackle move.

But after only a few steps, the energy glow around the Ironclad Rhinoceros vanished.

After all this time, it had only ever pulled carts and never received any professional training, to the point where it had almost forgotten how to use its moves.

Moo moo moo.

The Ironclad Rhinoceros sheepishly turned its head and let out a couple of calls to Aiven.

"It's okay, it's not too late to start training now," Aiven said, patting the Ironclad Rhinoceros to comfort it.

He had a basic understanding of the Ironclad Rhinoceros's current situation. Due to long-term malnutrition, its potential had been greatly depleted, and it needed to be replenished first.

With this thought, he took a bottle of pinkish-green potion from his backpack and waved it at the Ironclad Rhinoceros.

"This is a special potion made from Persimmon Seed Fruit, Berry Fruit, and Orange Fruit, along with other ingredients. It can greatly stimulate your Ground-type potential," Aiven explained with a smile.

When he was making the Antidote Potion at Sir Enzo's place, he had already considered the Ironclad Rhinoceros's condition and had prepared this special potion for it in advance.

Moo moo moo.

The Ironclad Rhinoceros looked deeply moved. It hadn't expected Aiven to have prepared a potion for it so early.

"Let's give it a try."

Saying that, Aiven fed the potion into the Ironclad Rhinoceros's mouth.

After drinking the special potion, the Ironclad Rhinoceros felt a surge of energy flowing within its body, slowly integrating into it.

Standing on the ground, the Ironclad Rhinoceros suddenly felt as if it had merged with the earth. A very strange sensation washed over it.

This feeling was peculiar, almost instinctual. The Ironclad Rhinoceros channeled the energy within its body and released it.

The next moment, the ground violently undulated, spreading outwards like ripples on water, making the terrain uneven and pitted. But immediately after, a sense of vitality emerged from the soil.

Digging Move!

Aiven's eyes flashed with a sharp light as he witnessed this scene.

Although the Ironclad Rhinoceros couldn't learn the Digging Move, it could inherit it through breeding.

Inherited moves originated from a Spirit's genes and were typically hidden within the Spirit, only activated under specific circumstances.

When he had previously determined that the Ironclad Rhinoceros had outstanding talent in the Ground attribute, he had wondered if it would inherit this move.

Then, when preparing the potion, besides the Ground-type fruit Persimmon Seed Fruit and the stamina-restoring Orange Fruit, he had also added the Grass-type fruit Berry Fruit, hoping to see if the Ironclad Rhinoceros could activate this move.

And everything unfolded as if it were planned. After drinking the potion he prepared, which contained Ground and Grass-type energies, the Ironclad Rhinoceros had indeed successfully activated the Digging Move, this inherited move hidden within its body!

The Ironclad Rhinoceros was still a bit dazed, completely unaware of what had just happened.

It stomped on the muddy ground around it, unsure of what to do next.

At this moment, the Petilil had completely absorbed the second stage of the Deadly Poison Potion.

Sensing the abnormality outside the orchard, the little one ran over.

The Petilil looked at the muddy ground in front of it with surprise. For some reason, it felt a strong attraction emanating from the soil.

The Cherubi also gathered around, circling the tilled soil. They too could sense the vitality contained within it.

"Try going in."

Hearing Aiven's encouragement, the Petilil didn't hesitate. It took small steps and entered the tilled land.

Immediately, the Petilil felt a surge of energy enter its body. Bathed in a faint green light, it clearly felt its strength increase.

Raising its hand, the Petilil used the Absorb Technique, transforming into a thick green beam that shot towards the sky.

It could clearly feel that the power of its Absorb Technique had significantly increased, and it immediately showed a look of pleasant surprise.

"The Digging Move can till the land, making it easier for plants to grow, and it also increases the Attack and Special Attack of Grass-type Pokémon," Aiven explained with a smile from the side.

Upon hearing Aiven's words, the Ironclad Rhinoceros paused for a moment, then suddenly began to move. Wherever it went, the land was tilled, imbued with vitality!

The Petilil and Cherubi cheered joyfully in the tilled earth. Even the Walking Grass, which had buried its entire body in the soil, curiously poked its head out, jumped out of the ground, and moved towards the tilled area.

Just then, Mukkuru flew back from a distance. It could be seen that the little one was injured, apparently having secretly practiced the Tackle move in the orchard.

Upon arriving at the tilled land, the little one looked at the happy Petilil and Cherubi with confusion. What's going on? I don't feel anything, why are they so happy?

Aiven watched everything unfold with a smile, the corners of his mouth curling up slightly. He had said that Pokémon were the primary productive force in this world.

This Digging Move was a godsend for farming. With the Digging Move, he seemed to be able to farm rapidly. This was great!
