Pokémon: My Farm Adventures

Chapter 93: Chapter 93:Pokémon Contests in Sakura City! The Stunning Performance of Ivysaur



"Serperior, how do you feel?"

Natsume walked over to Serperior.

"Serperior~"

Serperior felt quite good right now.

Among the Pokémon at the farm, Serperior is definitely the top battle strength after Dragonite.

The Contrary ability allows Serperior to become stronger with each battle.

Synthesis and various absorb-type moves make it so Serperior doesn't have to worry about energy consumption at all.

With the support of Sunny Day, spreading Grassy Terrain, and the strengthening treasures, 

even typical near Champion-level Pokémon would probably struggle to withstand a few of Serperior's Razor Leaf storms.

"Conkeldurr."

Conkeldurr stood to the side, astonished by the power of Serperior and Arcanine.

Natsume greeted it: "Conkeldurr, good morning."

"How was it spending the night? Are you getting used to it?"

Conkeldurr looked at Natsume.

Conkeldurr and the others had now officially settled into the farm.

Last night, while everyone enjoyed the frozen ice cream made by Jirachi, Natsume took out a Poké Ball.

Timburr and Gurdurr all entered it seamlessly.

Conkeldurr had been somewhat worried about being forced to stay here.

However, Natsume explained that it was just a precaution, and if they wanted to travel to other places in the future, they could.

Conkeldurr thought this was a good arrangement.

This way, even if they wanted to travel to other cities later, the farm would always be their home.

"Conkeldurr~"

Conkeldurr pointed at a plot of empty land and gestured to Natsume.

Conkeldurr hoped to add some exercise training equipment there.

Conkeldurr and the others had previously helped move some very special training machines.

Those machines could emit various types of energy, which Pokémon would use for training.

Pokémon's reaction times and the accuracy of their moves could significantly increase with that training.

"I see."

Natsume pondered: "The farm indeed doesn't have great training facilities."

The daily training for the farm Pokémon is relatively simple.

In the mornings, everyone runs up the mountain to exercise their stamina.

After the run, they begin to repeatedly practice their moves.

Finally, it ends with actual battle practice.

This is the daily routine for Sirfetch'd and the others.

Because the farm can continuously produce various treasures, Natsume pays little attention to the training of Pokémon.

After all, everyone's level increases too quickly.

"When I go to Sakura later, I will procure a batch of training devices from the shopping mall to bring back."

Natsume looked at Conkeldurr and said, "Additionally, regarding the practice of training devices, I hope you can mentor Infernape they more."

"Conkeldurr~"

Conkeldurr expressed no problem.

Conkeldurr's strength is entirely accumulated bit by bit by himself.

In terms of refining training devices, Conkeldurr is much stronger than Infernape they.

"Natsume."

At this time, Gardevoir walked beside Natsume and reminded, "He has left."

Natsume glanced at the sky.

Ohtaka was sitting on Corviknight and had already flown high into the air.

"Is that so."

Natsume withdrew his gaze and said to Gardevoir, "It's about time, let's go as well."

"Okay~"

Natsume waved to Dragonite and Jirachi, "Dragonite, Jirachi, we are leaving."

"Jirachi is coming~"

"Dragonite~"

Hokkaido, Sakura City.

Sakura City is named after a huge natural lake in the center of Sakura City.

The entire city is built around one side of this natural lake.

On the other side of the lake water are hills and forested areas.

At this moment, outside the Sakura arena.

Many people have already lined up waiting to have their tickets checked for entry.

"Dragonite~"

Dragonite landed next to Natsume at the entrance.

As soon as Dragonite touched the ground, all the people's gazes outside turned to them.

"Wow, Dragonite, is this the judge for today?"

"No way, I checked the list of invited judges for today, and there aren't any particularly famous trainers among them."

"By the way, this Dragonite's trainer is really young."

The crowd whispered and looked at Natsume.

Jirachi was perched on Natsume's shoulder, looking around and said, "Natsume, there are so many people here."

"It's very lively."

Natsume smiled and said, "That's because it's Contest Halls."

"Everyone is really interested in Pokémon Contests."

As Natsume spoke, he took out his phone to send a message to Aiko.

The ticket Aiko gave Natsume is a friend and family pass.

This ticket allows direct access through a special passage.

However, before Aiko came out, a staff member walked quickly toward them.

"Hello, sir, do you need to use the fast track?"

Natsume took out his friend and family pass and said, "I am a friend of a contestant; this is my ticket."

The staff member glanced at it and gestured for him to follow, saying, "Please follow me."

"Thank you."

The staff member led Natsume inside, asking, "Sir, do you have any Water type Pokémon with you?"

"We have a pool in the front VIP seats where you can let your Water type Pokémon out."

Natsume nodded slightly, "Yes, I have a Feebas with me."

The internal venue is very large.

The staff member led Natsume to the front row of the venue.

There were already many spectators here.

The staff member arranged for Natsume to sit by the pool.

In the pool, there were already some Water Pokémon swimming around.

Marill, Seel, Corsola.

Natsume also spotted a Vaporeon.

"Dragonite~"

Dragonite seemed to really like this pool and jumped in with a splash.

The five hundred-pound big guy rolled around in the pool like a child having fun.

The Pokémon in the pool watched Dragonite with some fear.

"Dragonite~"

Dragonite sat up and cheerfully greeted everyone.

As a result, those Water type Pokémon quickly gathered around Dragonite.

"Feebas, you can come out too."

Natsume took out a Poké Ball and released Feebas.

Feebas glanced at the pool.

It seemed uninterested in the Pokémon here and instead focused on the stage in front.

The seating here was quite spacious.

Even two people sitting together wouldn't feel cramped.

There were couples sitting together, and some people were sitting with their Pokémon.

In front of Natsume, a girl had a Skitty lying beside her seat.

Gardevoir sat down next to Natsume.

"Natsume Gym Leader."

Aiko, dressed in a green long dress, ran over to them.

"You look beautiful today."

Natsume exaggerated a compliment as he looked at Aiko.

"Hehe, thank you~"

Aiko said happily, "To be honest, I was worried that Natsume Gym Leader wouldn't come."

"How could that be?"

Natsume laughed and said, "I'll help you record the video."

"Alright, thank you, Natsume Gym Leader~"

Although Aiko wore a smile, she still looked quite nervous.

Her hands were tightly gripping her dress.

Seeing this, Natsume took Aiko's hand.

Her hand was a bit cold.

Eternity Power can heal Pokémon, so it can also soothe people's emotions.

Natsume held Aiko's hands and said, "Relax, I am really looking forward to your performance."

Looking at the smile on Natsume's face, Aiko suddenly felt that the pressure and nervousness she had felt earlier disappeared.

"Go for it~"

Gardevoir also offered encouragement.

"Dragonite~"

Dragonite waved its hand at Aiko.

"Okay, I will do my best!"

Aiko's smile became even brighter.

Aiko walked with light steps toward the backstage.

"Natsume, when does the performance start?"

Jirachi asked Natsume.

Natsume leaned against a table and looked at the time, "It should be soon."

Gardevoir's gaze shifted to her left.

A Gothorita was holding onto a lady's arm, leaning intimately against her.

Gardevoir learned from the Gothorita and placed her hand into Natsume's arm, gently leaning her body against Natsume's shoulder.

Natsume turned his cheek to look at Gardevoir.

Natsume could clearly feel Gardevoir's body warmth and the fragrance she emitted.

The interaction between Pokémon and humans is like that of family.

Such behavior may seem a bit intimate, but it is still quite normal.

No one would think otherwise.

However, it still made people feel quite envious.

For example, the two boys sitting behind Natsume looked at Natsume and Gardevoir with expressions of envy.

One of them said jealously, "Damn it, he has a Dragonite; I can only think he's really awesome."

"But he even has Gardevoir hugging him!"

"It's okay, don't be envious of him."

The dude beside him comforted, "Even though you don't have a Dragonite or a Gardevoir, or a girlfriend, your dad will hug you."

"You're dead!!!"

Pop~

Inside the venue, the lights dimmed.

Everyone's eyes turned to the stage.

"Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for your patience."

In the center of the venue, a host in a red outfit held a microphone.

"Pokémon Contests in the Sakura region are about to begin their first round of judging."

"The top six contestants who pass the first round will participate in the second round, the magnificent battle."

"Winning a match will earn you a Ribbon."

"Those who collect five Ribbons will qualify to participate in the Hokkaido Pokémon Contests."

The host smiled at the crowd and said, "First, let us welcome the esteemed judges of this Sakura competition."

"This is the chairperson of the Sakura City Coordinating Trainer Association, Sir Yamara."

On the judging stage, a middle-aged man in a suit waved to the crowd.

"Next is Sir Fuji-na from the Sakura City Pokémon Protection Association."

"Finally, the Champion of the Hokkaido Pokémon Contests: Miss Onami."

A girl in a light blue dress stood up and greeted everyone.

The venue erupted in enthusiastic cheers.

Clearly, this girl named Onami was very popular.

Natsume looked at her.

She was indeed very beautiful and had a graceful presence.

The light shone on her skin, making it look as delicate as gossamer.

On her exquisite face, the most captivating feature was her large, watery eyes, which seemed to ripple like azure waves.

Her hair flowed like a waterfall, smooth and cascading down her shoulders.

A teardrop-shaped necklace hung around her slender neck, accentuating her prominent collarbone.

As Natsume gazed at the teardrop necklace, it felt as if he were seeing the sea before his eyes.

It was a truly magical feeling.

"This pendant seems quite special," Natsume thought to himself as he looked at her pendant.

At this moment, the host on stage shouted, "The first contestant is Aryu from Aomori City."

"Aryu has already earned four Ribbons, making this a crucial match for him."

"Natsume, the performance has begun."

Jirachi, sitting on Natsume's lap, looked excitedly at the stage.

At this moment, the contestant named Aryu stepped onto the performance stage.

"Let the show begin, Roselia."

Aryu tossed a Poké Ball into the air.

"Roselia, Petal Dance!"

The Poké Ball opened with a loud bang.

As Roselia descended from the sky, countless pink petals floated out from the red and blue roses in its hands.

This was the entrance.

The stunning entrance immediately attracted a round of applause.

Aryu continued to issue commands, "Next is the combination move of Anesthetic Powder and Petal Dance!"

Roselia spun its body, scattering sparkling powder into the air.

At the same time, a multitude of petals flew toward the falling paralysis powder.

The shimmering paralysis powder made the dancing petals on stage sparkle brilliantly.

The entire stage was filled with a dreamlike color.

"For the final move, Magical Leaf!"

Roselia released leaves glowing with white light from its hands.

These leaves sliced through almost all the starry petals on stage.

Meanwhile, the impact of the move sent the surrounding petals soaring into the sky.

The petals danced in midair.

Aryu and Roselia bowed and took their curtain call amidst the sea of flowers.

Natsume remarked to himself while watching the performance, "No wonder they are a coordinating trainer; their control over the moves is indeed impressive."

On stage, Roselia was only Level 38.

However, the control it demonstrated over its moves was truly remarkable.

The venue erupted with thunderous applause.

The host smiled brightly and said, "Now, let's see how the judges score this performance."

Yamara gave a high score of 9.2: "Both the control of the moves and the level of elegance were stunning. I have high hopes for him."

Fuji-na scored 9.5: "I really liked it; this was a magnificent performance."

Onami gave a score of 9.3: "Very impressive, I look forward to competing with you on stage one day."

Aryu thanked them, "Thank you, I will continue to work hard."

The rhythm of Pokémon Contests is very quick.

Different contestants have different styles.

Each performance is like a small theater.

Natsume discussed the moves on stage with Gardevoir and joined everyone in applauding the spectacular performances.

The atmosphere in the venue was excellent.

Everyone was invested in the performances.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the next contestant is contestant number 17, Aiko from Keio."

The host said, "Additionally, contestant Aiko is a pure newcomer participating in Pokémon Contests for the first time!"

Aiko stepped into the battle arena holding a Poké Ball containing Ivysaur.

Applause erupted in the venue.

Aiko took a deep breath.

"Come out, Ivysaur."

"Ivysaur~"

Ivysaur also made its entrance with Petal Dance.

Natsume remarked, "Bulbasaur has evolved."

Learning Petal Dance is actually not easy.

But Aiko's Ivysaur just happened to inherit this move.

At this moment, Ivysaur landed atop the scattering petals.

Aiko's gaze was directed at Natsume in the audience.

"Next, the program I will perform is called: A Midsummer Night's Dream!"

"Ivysaur, Vine Whip and tie it up."

"Ivysaur!"

Ivysaur stood beside Aiko.

Vine Whip swiftly moved across the ground, gathering the petals that had fallen and sticking them to it. The Vine Whip then stood upright, gradually forming a swing.

Aiko and Ivysaur sat on the swing.

"Next is Magical Leaf."

"Ivysaur~"

In the upper left corner of the swing, Magical Leaf formed a crescent moon.

Aiko's feet were planted firmly on the ground.

"Ivysaur~"

Whoosh!

Half of the crescent moon suddenly exploded into twinkling light points.

The curved moon remained suspended high above.

Starlight drifted downward.

At the same time, countless petals floated upwards from the pink bud on Ivysaur.

The swing, covered in blooming petals, radiated the brilliance of the crescent moon.

On the swaying swing, a maiden in a green dress and Ivysaur were present.

Along with the petals drifting below and the twinkling stars.

At this moment, the entire stage felt dreamlike and surreal.

Natsume gently clapped his hands.

Pop! Pop! The venue erupted with fervent applause.

The host exclaimed, "What a wonderful performance! Now let's see what scores the judges give."

The judges exchanged glances and then began to discuss quietly.

Aiko watched them nervously.

Onami was the first to speak: "I give you a score of 9."

"From the program you performed, one can sense the harmonious relationship between human and Pokémon."

"Your Ivysaur's control over the moves was also quite impressive."
