“That’s truly impressive,” Allen, being a doting father, supported Nemo’s every choice one hundred percent. Stroking Nemo’s head, Allen’s expression was slightly troubled: “In that case, we’ll have to prepare your first Pokemon well.”
“Paldea region’s starter Pokemon? That’s too unoriginal. Oh, right, I happen to have Gible and Goomy’s Pokemon Eggs given to me by a friend. How about late-blooming Pokemon?”
Nemo shook her head, stating firmly, “I want Pawmi as my first Pokemon!”
Allen froze for a moment. Although she didn’t quite understand her second daughter’s thoughts, she still prepared to look for a suitable Pawmi Pokemon Egg, smiling indulgently, “As you wish.”
Nemo cheered excitedly, raising her arms, then added, “Also… in the future, I want to tie my hair in a single ponytail. It’ll look more capable!”
“No problem.”
Allen immediately instructed the maids to tie Nemo’s hair in a single ponytail from now on, even though she regretted not seeing her cute daughter with pigtails.
But… as long as Nemo didn’t dye or perm her hair, everything was fine with her.
A week later.
After seeing off the construction team and looking at the land that had started to resemble a Farming Area, Luo Mu nodded in satisfaction.
If it were before his transmigration, the cost of this project would probably have been even higher, and he might have had to deal with petty issues or shoddy work.
Putting aside evil organizations and a few individuals, most people in the Pokémon world were like those in a utopia, with no hidden motives.
Luo Mu first came to the Farming Area, which was simply divided into sections and had a drainage system built to prevent crop death due to waterlogging of roots.
However, the farmland was still uncultivated, as that was an additional cost.
In fact, the construction team could also provide services such as adding irrigation canals for convenient watering.
Looking at his daily shrinking wallet, Luo Mu chose to use his existing labor force (Swampert) to save money.
For watering and such, he could slowly let Swampert use Water Gun.
Of course, he wasn’t a devil either.
Once the scale of the farmland expanded, Swampert or Luxray could take turns using Rain Dance for watering, and Serperior could use Sunny Day when sunlight was needed.
In the world of Pokemon, anything is possible!
Near the farmland, the construction team also built a wooden storage room for crops, and outside the storage room were a few iron farm tools, which they said were given to him as a friendly gesture.
A set of tools like that would probably cost several hundred alliance currency at the town market. The Foreman was truly a good person.
In short, although the Farming Area was simple now, it could be used after just a little clearing of weeds and rocks and reorganizing the wasteland.
Luo Mu’s understanding of farming was only to this extent; after all, he grew up in the city before transmigrating and had no idea how to farm.
However, even though he was completely clueless about what came next, he already had a plan.
Half a month had passed since he accepted Champion Ye Ci’s invitation to serve as a teacher at Orange Academy.
As one of the largest academies in the Paldea region, Orange Academy’s library must have suitable books and materials for him to consult.
He could borrow them to read after he took up his post.
He could also use the developed internet to follow some related bloggers.
For example, Milo, the Gym Leader of Turffield in the Galar region, often updated videos and information related to Milo Farm on his personal homepage.
Luo Mu was not in a hurry to start planting immediately; he knew very well the saying, “Haste makes waste.”
If he rushed into it without understanding anything, the probability of failure would be much higher than success.
Next, Luo Mu inspected the ranch area and the lake area.
A large portion of the one hundred thousand alliance currency was spent on the wooden fences built in the ranch area. Considering that the animals or Pokemon raised in the ranch in the future would inevitably be related to cattle, sheep, and horses.
The ranch area accounted for almost one-third of the land Luo Mu bought.
And the lake area also accounted for one-third, while the Farming Area was less than half of either of them.
The ranch area, like the Farming Area, was also covered with weeds and rocks and urgently needed to be cleared and cultivated. Luo Mu would only consider introducing animals or Pokemon after purchasing and planting a batch of suitable Grassy Seed.
The lake area, though called a lake, was actually just a planned wasteland. Luo Mu would have Swampert directly use its strength to create a lake there.
It was just a bit of a sacrifice for Swampert, a Champion’s main Pokemon, to do such work.
After some thought, Luo Mu decided to clean up the weeds and rubble in the farm and ranch areas today.
However, such a large area, if he were to work on it little by little with a hammer and hoe, would probably take more than a month of continuous work.
At this point, his personal strength, which was almost at max level, could be put to use.
Luo Mu looked around, finding no one, then looked up at the sky. Besides the occasional Fletchling and Pidgey flying by, there was also a larger dark silhouette that was very eye-catching.
“Sleeping in the sky again, huh? But it’s perfect.” Luo Mu instantly recognized the dark silhouette as his Dragonite and shouted at the top of his lungs, “Dragonite—!”
After shouting three or four times, the dark silhouette descended from the sky. It was indeed a cute, plump Dragonite, still half-asleep.
“Bo~ wu?”
Dragonite rubbed its eyes in confusion, its Growl a little soft, completely unlike the terrifying oppressive feeling it exuded in battle.
“Could you please call Swampert for me? I need its help with something.”
Luo Mu said, his hand not stopping as he poked Dragonite’s very soft belly, feeling a little intoxicated.
Dragonite’s belly was truly very soft. Compared to it, any high-end pillow would have to take a backseat.
Napping with his head on its belly was very comfortable, but unfortunately, Dragonite liked to float in the sky for its naps, and Luo Mu couldn’t always force it.
“Bo wu~!”
Dragonite saluted with its arm, then gave Luo Mu his daily hug before happily wagging its tail and flying into the sky, intending to go to where Swampert usually stayed to notify it.
After watching Dragonite fly away, Luo Mu found a large stone nearby to sit on and asked in his mind, “My friend, is there anything valuable buried underground nearby? Like an ite or Arceus’s Plates or something…”
【…Don’t dream in broad daylight, dear Host.】
Luo Mu clicked his tongue in disdain and retorted, “Why haven’t you been of much help ever since the tera orb raw ore and Dr. Olin’s experiment?”
【Are you sure you want to ask me?】
【If you were willing to go on adventures, you would have already made a fortune. Staying in this small patch of land and idling away, my full abilities have no place to be used!】
【Dear, there’s a Tandemaus nest on the hillside not far to your right. If you’re really starving, you can go and steal their food reserves, oh.】
“…Sharp-tongued fellow.” Luo Mu pouted, feeling that this hint system might have become a bit twisted in personality recently from being cooped up for too long.
As Luo Mu considered whether he should occasionally wander into the nearby mountains and forests, his phone in his pocket began to vibrate, and the ringtone sounded.
Luo Mu took it out and looked.
Caller: Dr. Olin.
