Fang Xiaolu smiled slyly, pulled out the Miaomiao hand puppet from behind her back, and said in a childlike voice, "It's okay, Brother Fang Gu, I, Little Mi, will help drive traffic to the video!"
"However," Fang Xiaolu changed the subject, staring at Fang Xing and saying, "Brother Fang Xing, you can't be all dirty like this morning. No girl will like you like that."
"What!"
Fang Xing blushed with embarrassment after being spoken to by Fang Xiaolu.
"It's alright." Fang Gu gave Fang Xing a reassuring look. "I just bought some work clothes in town, so you won't look dirty."
"Quack!"
The croaking frog also raised its hand.
If your clothes get dirty, you can use the Froggy Water Gun to clean them!
Fang Gu pulled out three pieces of clothing from the bags. He and Fang Xing both wore thick work clothes, the resilient material protecting their skin. As for the clothes he bought for Fang Xiaolu, they were more for show than practicality.
Wearing denim overalls, a brown top underneath, and a neat ponytail tied up by Fang Gu himself, and carrying a Squirtle water bottle, she really looks like a little model who just stepped out of some rural fashion show.
"Thank you, Brother Fang Gu!"
Fang Xiaolu was extremely satisfied with her new look. She kept changing poses in front of the mirror, then ran to her room to change the Miaomiao hand puppet into the same pastoral-style outfit.
“Da na da na”.
Upon hearing that it would be filming while working that afternoon, Bulbasaur became even more motivated.
It must showcase the grandeur of the Stardew Valley Ranch boss and create wonderful memories with Fang Gu!
The typical format of a Pokémon short film is to introduce the Pokémon creator and its partner Pokémon at the beginning of the film.
So before tidying up the farmland, Fang Gu and Fang Xing first had to introduce themselves to the camera.
"Hello everyone, my name is Fang Xing."
Fang Xing was clearly still not used to the camera, and he introduced himself in a cool and arrogant manner, turning to the side.
"Also, this is my partner, the Froggy Frog."
"Quack!"
In contrast, the croaking frog appears more lively, squinting its eyes as it waves at the camera.
For Fang Gu, this kind of self-introduction was nothing more than a small matter.
"Hello everyone, I am Fang Gu, the rancher of this Stardew Valley ranch. This is my partner and most important companion."
Fang Gu's face lit up with a friendly smile, as bright as the sun, while the Bulbasaur he held looked serious, as if to highlight his meticulous and serious persona.
Little did they know that standing in front of the camera was like a child pretending to be an adult, creating a stark contrast.
Fang Xiaolu covered her mouth and chuckled. She could already imagine what kind of memes these nosy netizens would edit Bulbasaur into.
According to Fang Xiaolu's storyline, after getting tired of life in the big city, Xiao Mi, a meowing cat, came to the countryside, where she met the Fang brothers, Fang Gu and Fang Xing, who ran a ranch, and helped them cultivate the land.
Fang Xiaolu's camera focused on Fang Gu's sunny face. Next, Fang Gu was about to assign tasks.
"Fangxing and Froakie are responsible for cutting the weeds in the field, while Bulbasaur is responsible for carrying the remaining stones and the cut weeds out of the field."
"As for..." Fang Gu looked at Fang Xiaolu's bright eyes, "Little... Little Mi, please use your telekinesis to share some of the pressure for us."
"Of course, cheering is also fine."
Fang Gu joked as he held a hoe. His main task was to turn over the soil to create more air pockets, which would provide more oxygen for the crops to grow.
Actually, this task could have been done by Pokémon like Diglett or Diglett, but unfortunately Fang Gu hasn't caught any of those Pokémon yet.
"Actually, Frog and I can also move the stones; we have experience."
Fang Xing raised objections to Fang Gu's allocation, and Fang Gu took the opportunity to explain to him.
"You and Froakie are best suited for this job. You can wield a sickle, which Bulbasaur's vines cannot do, that's one reason."
"Bulbasaur can absorb solar energy through photosynthesis, ensuring it has plenty of energy, making it well-suited for strenuous work like moving rocks under the sun. That's the second reason."
"Thirdly, I have a little idea. If the Froakie can learn the Iaijutsu skill, as long as it immerses itself in swinging the scythe and imagines that its hand is a sharp blade, it might be able to learn this skill on its own."
After saying that, Fang Xing fell silent, his face filled with admiration.
To be able to deduce the Iai Slash move from the swing of the scythe, it's clear that this guy's trainer talent surpasses mine.
It seems I still have a long way to go.
Thinking of this, Fang Xing and the Frog Guagua exchanged a glance, their eyes blazing with fury.
Open up!
Chapter 12 Iaijutsu and Cooking
"call--"
Fang Gu swung his arm, swinging the hoe in his hand. The tip of the hoe embedded itself in the ground, making his arm feel a tingling sensation.
The land, uncultivated for many years, appeared as if it had been protected by an iron wall, hard and unyielding.
Fortunately, after being transported to a parallel world with Pokémon, Fang Gu's physical abilities also improved significantly.
He has about one-fifth the skill of a complete novice.
Otherwise, there would be no way to compete with this land.
"Brother, have some water."
Fang Gu took the water Fang Xiaolu handed him, drank a big gulp, wiped the sweat off his face with a towel, and leaned on his hoe to secretly rest for a while in the field.
"It must have been just as difficult for Grandpa to cultivate this land back then."
Fang Gu muttered to himself, glancing at other parts of the field.
Bulbasaur was intently carrying a large rock with its vines, "heave-ho" moving it to a corner outside the field and piling it up.
Without stopping for a moment, Bulbasaur ran to Fangxing and Froakie's side, using its vines to roll up the weeds and continue transporting them outside.
"His serious expression is really cute. Seeing this scene is really healing when you're tired."
Fang Gu gradually regained some of his strength and gently waved his hand, beckoning to Bulbasaur.
"Bulbasaur, if you're tired, you can take a short rest."
Fang Gu said with some heartache.
"Dah!"
Bulbasaur let out a clear croak and shook its head, indicating to Fang Gu that there was no need to worry.
After all, it was the big sister of Stardew Valley Ranch and Fang Gu's good helper. It had promised to help Fang Gu renovate this land in one afternoon!
Fang Gu's eyes were filled with relief, and he understood how his grandfather had managed to keep the ranch going.
It is a joint effort between humans and Pokémon.
"Alright, in that case, I can't slack off either."
As Fang Gu swung his hoe, deep and shallow "teeth marks" appeared on the hard earth, as if new life was reviving.
…………
Three hours have passed since we started tilling the land.
Three-quarters of the field has been plowed and prepared, and it is expected to be completely finished before sunset.
However, as working hours increased, Fangxing and Guaguapao Frog's efficiency decreased.
Fang Xing was simply exhausted, while the Frog had entered a strange state. It stared at the sickle in its hand, its movements becoming slower and slower, its eyes narrowed, making it completely unfathomable.
"Frog, if you're tired, we can take a break."
Having learned from his previous experience, Fang Xing paid extra attention to the Frog's condition this time. Seeing that something was wrong, he quickly spoke up.
The next moment, the croaking frog's squinted eyes snapped open, and a dazzling white light emanated from its arm.
It casually dropped the scythe, and white light gathered into a long blade, revealing its sharpness.
The frog's body compresses and releases like a spring, leaping high into the air in an instant.
With a "whoosh!" sound, it attracted everyone's attention.
The frog landed, the white light in its hand disappeared, and the weeds in front of it were cut off at waist height, with a very clean cut, as if it had been cut by a very sharp knife.
Fang Xing's face lit up with joy. He stepped forward and hugged Froakie, exclaiming with delight, "Froakie, you've learned a new skill, Iai Slash!"
As expected, even the proud Fang Xing becomes frank in front of Pokémon.
"Quack."
The frog squinted its eyes, its little face slightly red, keeping a low profile.
"Impressive, Frog Frog."
Fang Gu also praised, saying that in just three short hours, the Frog had learned a new skill, which was simply terrifying.
This Iaijutsu is a skill known as a divine skill for transportation. Once a spirit learns this skill, it can remove small trees blocking its path.
Unfortunately, the order Fang Gu received required logs, a very tall and thick type of wood. Otherwise, he could have had the frog do the chopping instead of using an axe.
"Now that I think about it, the skills that Froakie learned include Tackle, Water Gun, Water Pulse, Shadow Clone, and Iai Slash."
"Fangxing and Froakie should be fully capable of challenging the first gym."
As Fang Gu watched the croaking frog and Fang Xing embracing each other, some ideas began to form in his mind.
"Dana."
Bulbasaur looked at Fang Gu, regretting that it was not ambitious enough to learn even one more move.
Bulbasaur also wants Fang Gu's praise!
In order to maintain her image as the big sister and to preserve her position in Fang Gu's heart, Bulbasaur decides to seriously learn new skills.
After Froakie learned the Iai Slash skill, it quickly cleared away the weeds in the field. Fang Xing and Froakie then turned around to help Fang Gu and Bulbasaur, who were still busy.
Soon, before sunset, they had cleared a field suitable for planting.
Looking at the blackened soil turned up in the field, Fang Gu's sense of accomplishment overcame his physical fatigue.
"Tomorrow we'll go to town to buy some seeds, then we can plant them and start a brand new life on our ranch."
