The next day, Aiven arrived at the training field early.
Walking Grass are a nocturnal Spirit, capable of absorbing the power of moonlight to promote their own growth.
During the day, they bury themselves in the ground to absorb nutrients from the soil.
Upon arriving at this grassland, they immediately felt the rich vitality within and became completely immersed in it.
Right now, they all felt that the decision they made was truly fantastic; this place was truly their paradise.
By the time Aiven reached the grassland, the Walking Grass had already buried themselves in the soil, making it difficult to find them amidst the dense grass even with a careful search.
Fortunately, he had specifically cleared out an area in the grassland for these Walking Grass to rest. Otherwise, the foolish Ironclad Rhinoceros, which had to use its Digging Move on the grassland every day, might have directly trampled them the next day.
Nyan nyan nyan.
At this moment, the only one not asleep was Walking Grass No. 1. Aiven had too many Walking Grass on the farm now, so he numbered them to distinguish them. No. 1 was the first Walking Grass to join the farm.
Seeing Aiven approach, the little fellow happily rushed over. It had been waiting because Aiven had told it that training would begin today.
"Good morning."
Aiven greeted the Walking Grass.
The Petilil in his arms waved; the little one was not yet awake.
The Walking Grass happily shook the leaves on its head, looking at Aiven with anticipation.
"Okay, okay, I know,"
Aiven said with a smile, then took out the potion prepared by the Petilil from his arms.
Looking at the potion in Aiven's hand, the Petilil puffed out its chest. That's right, this was the potion it had prepared!
Thinking this, the Petilil hopped next to the Walking Grass, looking at Aiven with some expectation.
The Petilil could also learn the move Sleep Powder.
During this period, it had already mastered Absorb, Poison, and Leech Seed. Sleep Powder was the next move it planned to learn, and it was still a status-inflicting move.
Opening the cork, Aiven dipped a leaf into the potion and then applied the Flower Dew Potion of Sleep Powder to the Walking Grass and the Petilil.
After absorbing the Flower Dew Potion of Sleep Powder, the Spirit would develop special pollen on its body that contained a hypnotic effect.
This pollen contained Grass-type energy. Through continuous training, they could cultivate this special powder using Grass-type energy.
Moo moo moo.
As the Walking Grass and the Petilil trained Sleep Powder, the Ironclad Rhinoceros also woke up.
Seeing Aiven, the foolish Ironclad Rhinoceros was very excited and trotted over.
"Here, this is today's dose of potential potion," Aiven said, patting the Ironclad Rhinoceros's head and handing it a potion made from Persimmon Seed Fruit, Orange Fruit, and Berry Fruit.
The Ironclad Rhinoceros happily drank the potion and immediately felt full of strength. It had to run one hundred laps around the training field today!
"Aiven, morning."
Just then, Uncle Darby arrived, pulling a cart loaded with buckets of water.
Before the sun came out was the best time for watering; once the sun rose, the temperature would be unsuitable.
The Ironclad Rhinoceros nudged forward, volunteering to pull the cart.
Since arriving at the farm, the Ironclad Rhinoceros had been incredibly well-behaved, earning the approval of everyone on the farm.
Perhaps he could find a way to capture a Water-type Spirit, Aiven thought to himself.
Unfortunately, the place where they lived was quite a distance from the sea.
Over time, Aiven had learned that the continent he had transmigrated to was the Sinnoh region, and the City of Ambition was located in the southeast corner of Sinnoh, beside Lake Verity, completely surrounded by the Black Forest.
To the north of the City of Ambition was Meteorite City. To the east and south were seas, and to the west lay the largest mountain range in all of Sinnoh, the Mount Coronet range.
Based on Aiven's judgment, this location should be between what would become Canalave City and Eterna City in Sinnoh.
Although there was Lake Verity near the City of Ambition, it was considered a sacred place for the city, and ordinary people could not approach it. Therefore, Aiven had not seen any Water-type Spirits near the City of Ambition for the time being.
Lake Verity, where the legendary Uxie was said to live, Aiven mused. Although he had never been to the Sinnoh region in his previous life, he had some knowledge of Sinnoh's legends from books.
While Aiven was contemplating, Uncle Darby and the Ironclad Rhinoceros had already set off.
One ladle of water after another was sprinkled out, falling onto the green grass, making the pasture slightly glistening as it rolled off the leaves and onto the ground.
A Walking Grass hidden in the grass felt the water droplets falling on it, poked its head out from below, then darted out of the ground and replanted itself elsewhere.
"Yo, there's a straggler," Aiven chuckled, walking over, grabbing the grass on the Walking Grass's head, and pulling it out of the soil.
The little fellow looked at Aiven in confusion before being moved to the special resting area for the Walking Grass.
After inspecting the training field, Aiven stretched. He also had to start working. Besides training a few Spirits, he needed to solve the problem of their food, which was a very important part of a Pokémon breeder's job.
He went into the Fruit Grove. The Cherrim and Cherubi were still resting, but the Mukkuru had been waking up very early lately. Ever since its crushing defeat by Sir Enzo's Luxray last time, the proud little fellow had not stopped training itself.
After greeting the Mukkuru, Aiven opened the wooden barrel in the Fruit Grove, poured out the nutrient solution within, and began preparing Growth Fertilizer.
By the time he arrived at the training field, Uncle Darby had almost finished watering the entire area. Seeing Aiven carrying the wooden barrel, he immediately came over to help.
"Aiven, are you really planning to raise these Walking Grass?" Uncle Darby hesitated.
"Hmm, there are a lot of Walking Grass. As long as we can cultivate a certain number of them, we can defend against the invasion of those wild Magical Beasts."
"Actually, we don't need to worry about those Magical Beasts. With this Fertilizer, we can completely harvest the tree fruits before those wild Magical Beasts invade."
Seeing Uncle Darby looking reluctant to part with the Growth Fertilizer, Aiven shook his head and said, "If the Walking Grass can be cultivated, besides defending against wild Magical Beasts, they have other uses."
"Other uses?" Uncle Darby was taken aback. He had originally thought Aiven wanted to use the Walking Grass to concoct potions, but Aiven had denied it. Now, he really didn't know what Aiven was planning.
However, seeing Aiven say that, he didn't say anything more and began to pour water mixed with Fertilizer onto the grassland where the Walking Grass lived.
