Manor Lord in the Pokémon World

Chapter 210 Manor Specialty - Fertile Claw

Straight Bear nodded vigorously, gesturing and howling with its two front paws, then patted Rotom's head, asking Rotom to translate.

"Yes, Rotom~ We feel the incredibly powerful, warm, and hopeful life force in this land! We're coming after it!" Rotom showed an excited and exaggerated expression.

As Rotom recounted the story, Ark roughly understood; it was indeed much as he had guessed.

After the wildfires, the snake bear population was displaced, and they headed north to other places.

But other places have their own leaders, and their territories are owned by their owners; these outsiders were driven out.

Later, they thought they should just come back obediently, remembering that there was a very powerful human manor here.

Or maybe I should just join the human race...

Just as they were hesitating, they felt an immense power that even permeated the area where they were located.

So they returned all the way back and arrived here.

Straight Bear scratched his head, a hint of embarrassment showing in his blue eyes.

A good horse doesn't turn back to eat the grass it already grazed. After the wildfire, Ark actually sent Krillin to inquire if any Pokémon groups nearby wanted to join the manor. At that time, Bebop was influenced by other Pokémon groups and declined.

But now that they've left and returned, ultimately seeking human help, it's a disgrace in the eyes of most wild Pokémon.

There's no way around it, they just desperately want a peaceful life!

So what if it's embarrassing? As long as the community can live comfortably.

After Straight Bear finished speaking, he obediently squatted down as well, cautiously watching the Ark.

Fangzhou looked at the group of brown puppies before him, their eyes filled with anticipation yet a little apprehensive, and smiled. "Welcome to Pokémon Manor!"

He then changed the subject, "However, we need to make this clear beforehand. The estate will provide you with safe accommodations and a stable food source, but in return, you will need to participate in the daily work of the estate and earn these through labor."

Our manor is a legitimate manor; we don't accept freebies.

Upon hearing Fang Zhou's words, Zhichong Xiong was not disappointed at all; instead, his eyes lit up!

Wow... they even include meals?!

woohoo~

They originally just wanted to find a safer place with more energy to live in, and then forage for themselves like in the wild.

This human is now saying that as long as you work, you'll be provided with food?!

How tiring can the work on the manor be?

Even if it's tiring, it's still a million times better than being hungry and full in the wild, and having to be constantly on guard against natural enemies and other powerful Pokémon fighting for territory!

Yes! We're a hundred times willing!

Straight-up Bear nodded excitedly and turned to his underlings, shouting "Gala gala" a few times.

Great!

The serpentine bears beamed with joy, rubbing their bodies against each other and making excited "whimpering" sounds.

From now on, this human will be our leader!

We will absolutely obey the arrangements of the human leader and will work diligently!

Straight Bear seemed to remember something, turned around, took something out of somewhere, and carefully presented it to Ark.

A seed radiating a soft green glow.

Miracle Seed!

This is a valuable held item that can significantly enhance the power of Grass-type moves.

"Is this for me? A gift?" Fangzhou asked, somewhat surprised.

The bear nodded repeatedly.

Somewhat embarrassed, Rotom said, "These are things we found in the forest before. We actually have a few of these in stock, all picked up from various places."

It hesitated, wondering whether to ask Ark if it wanted to see everything. It had taken everything, but there were a few items it liked very much, and it was worried about what Ark might want...

"Thank you, Straight Bear."

Ark saw through its thoughts, smiled and took the Miracle Seed, then turned and handed it to the tropical dragon beside it.

With this miracle seed, the tropical dragon's natural grace can be enhanced to some extent.

Farming holidays are now more secure!

[A new Serpent Bear tribe has been added to the manor (16 in total). Congratulations on obtaining the trait "Fertile Claws"!]

Fertile Claws: Increases the efficiency of the digging skill in loosening soil within the manor, while also allowing the soil to quickly regain its fertility.

With the official addition of the Straight-Up Bear family, the manor has gained another trait.

Is it related to digging holes?

Fang Zhou's eyes lit up; he also had some ideas about how to handle the group of snake-striped bears.

Both the serpentine bear and its evolved form, the straight bear, are very skilled at digging, which can help loosen the soil and cultivate new fields.

With so many mouths to feed on the farm, even if the tropical dragons could increase crop yields, it wouldn't be enough to sustain the farm; the planting area had to be expanded.

Looks like we're really going to have a big expansion project going on soon!

In addition, the Zigzag Bear's "scavenging" ability should not be wasted. When there is no work, you can let the Whimsicott lead them to form an expedition team and wander around. You might find something. The items you pick up can be sold to Clint for another source of income.

I thought the appearance of a group of snake-striped bears in the manor today was already lively enough, but I didn't expect there to be a new surprise later.

In the evening, Fangzhou purchased a large quantity of aquatic plants suitable for pond cultivation, such as seaweed, from the Joja supermarket in town, along with a batch of healthy fish fry. He was preparing to release these new members into the pond to begin building an aquatic ecosystem.

But then Psyduck came walking from the riverbank, its eyes shining with the blue light of its superpowers, with several trembling Magikarp and Feebas floating around it!

Behind Psyduck followed a group of Psyducks with adorable, blank stares and waddling gaits.

"Quack~" When Psyduck saw Ark return, it waved its little paws happily. Then, the Magikarp and Feebas were thrown into the pond with a "plop plop".

Psyduck nodded in satisfaction and clapped its hands. These are all animals that can live in freshwater.

It originally planned to catch a few Gyarados, but then it realized that the pond was a bit small, and it also wanted to bring its Psyduck friends over, so it would have to wait until next time to catch Gyarados.

With Psyduck's help, along with the plants and fish fry that Ark bought, the pond suddenly became lively.

Magikarp and Feebas aren't very intelligent. After swimming around the new environment twice, they quietly opened their big, blank eyes and rested in place.

sunset.

Psyduck sat on the shore, watching the Pokémon swim around in the water. Its Psyduck friends were building their little nests for their future life by the water's edge. It just stood there, watching blankly, lost in thought.

Looking at the scene before him, Fangzhou felt a strange pang of pain in his heart.

Joining everyone and becoming a normal Psyduck might be Psyduck's wish.

Because of the temple, Psyduck is still unable to leave the temple for extended periods, so it can't be said that it can live in the manor.

It helped all the other Pokémon find a good place, but it could only watch from afar.

Ark had previously planned to go back to the sea to take another look, but the temple that trapped Psyduck was one that even a champion-level Pokémon like it couldn't break free from.

The manor currently only has Salamence, Sunfire Cape, and Tropius at the Elite Four level, but none of them are suitable for water battles, so going there would probably be pointless.

I wish I had a Water-type Pokémon Admiral.

Fangzhou couldn't help but think of Squirtle, then shook his head. Although Squirtle often came to the manor for free meals, it was still very weak.

Speaking of which, I haven't seen Squirtle at all today...

There must be something going on within the community, and they're helping each other out.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

Soon, the day of the planting competition arrived!
