Fang Gu called out to the frog in the field, and the frog squinted and nodded at Fang Gu, then spat out a stream of water from its mouth.
The Froakie is using its water gun skill!
The water flow instantly irrigated an area of three units. The water seeping into the soil cracks provided the plant seeds with enough water to breathe and germinate as soon as possible.
"Water-type Pokémon are pretty good, because this way we don't have to water them manually."
Fang Gu sighed. The watering efficiency of the Froakie far exceeded that of the Squirtle's watering can. If he had a Squirtle's watering can, he might be able to compete with it.
However, no matter how powerful a water can is, it will be rendered useless when it encounters a Pokémon that can use the Rain Dance move.
"Brother, how about you try to catch a Water-type Pokémon? Bulbasaur has a significant advantage against Water-type Pokémon."
Fang Gu nodded. "When I'm less busy in a few days, I plan to go to the river to see if there are any suitable Water-type Pokémon."
There is a small river directly south of Stardew Valley Ranch, which connects the forest and Crescent Moon Town, where many Water-type Pokémon live.
Just in time, his fishing spirit was already burning brightly!
Unfortunately, I'm still missing a fishing rod. I'll have to ask at Peter's general store later.
"Haha, Fang Xing, look, because of Froakie, a trend has started in our comment section where people are forcing Pokémon to learn moves with sickles!"
Fang Xiaolu scrolled through the comments section, and at that moment, the quack frog, who had finished its work, also came over.
The Pokémon on this screen include Ursaring, Combusken, and Sneasel...
Of course, the two photos are the most interesting.
One was a serpentine bear, looking at its own paws, then at the scythe in front of it, its eyes brimming with tears.
Master, do you really think I can lift this thing?
The other was a raging mantis, its insect sickle slicing through a farming sickle and splitting it in two.
Why don't you take a look at what these two things are before you speak?!
Fang Gu gave a cheeky laugh, then looked at Fang Xing and asked, "When are you planning to go on a trip? I just finished talking to Grandpa Afu on the phone. All the gyms are welcoming new trainers lately."
"Don't let anyone fall behind in your progress."
Fang Xing was silent for a moment, then said, "I was just about to tell you about this."
Chapter 20 Fang Xing's Departure and Li Jia's Troubles
"I was just about to tell you about this."
Upon hearing this, Fang Xiaolu pursed her lips and turned her head away.
Although she didn't get along with Fang Xing, Fang Xiaolu still didn't want to be separated from him in her heart.
But becoming a prosecutor is Fang Xing's dream.
As Fang Xing's family, Fang Xiaolu and Fang Gu should not be his weakness, but rather his armor and confidence.
"I plan to leave in three or four days and go challenge the White Sand Gym in White Sand City first."
I vaguely remember Ebony City, located near Ebony Forest. Its Gym Leader is Violet, a rare female photographer who is proficient in Bug-type Pokémon.
“I checked the official website of the White Sandalwood Dojo. Miss Violet is going to participate in a photography exhibition in a few days, so she may not be available to accept dojo challenges for the next month or two. Therefore, I want to challenge her earlier,” Fang Xing explained.
In the Pokémon world, Gym Leaders are the backbone of a town, and most Gym Leaders have other side jobs, or rather, being a Gym Leader is more like a side job for them.
For example, there's Ms. Violet, the insect-type photographer, and Mr. Fu, who runs a ranch, and Alo.
Even Carlos region champion, Miss Karuno, is currently a superstar who is enjoying great popularity.
If the gym leader is away, the gym's challenge work will not be suspended, but will be carried out by the gym's apprentices.
But an apprentice is still an apprentice. Fang Xing's purpose in challenging the gym was not only to obtain badges, but also to receive guidance from the gym trainers.
For him, this is the most precious thing.
"In that case, you should leave this afternoon," Fang Gu said slowly.
"what!?"
Even the usually calm Fang Xing couldn't help but exclaim, "Ah!" Was this an attempt to get rid of him?
Fang Gu continued to explain, "Since time is of the essence, let's set off as soon as possible. Are you waiting for Miss Violet, or is Miss Violet waiting for you?"
"It's always good to go sooner, so we can battle with other trainers more often."
"I think Froakie's current strength is more than enough. The most important thing is the experience in battle."
"One more thing..."
Fang Gu gave Fang Xing detailed instructions, then tossed him a spatial backpack.
"This contains everything you'll need for the trip; I've already prepared it all for you."
Fang Xing took the backpack, but a hint of hesitation still showed in his eyes.
"But what will happen to the ranch if I leave?"
"I'm still on the ranch, aren't I? Besides, the most arduous preliminary work is over, and I'm planning to start fishing to prepare for a healthier lifestyle," Fang Gu said without any politeness.
"It's okay, Brother Fangxing, I'm still here at the ranch."
Fang Xiaolu's voice choked with sobs, "I will take good care of everyone."
Fang Gu patted Fang Xiaolu's head and said, "Actually, transportation is very convenient now, especially in the neighboring city of Biyi, which has a light rail. If you take a bus, you can come back in no time."
Fang Gu smiled slightly at Fang Xing, "If you miss home, you can just come back anytime. Also, you must come back to help on harvest day."
"I'll be cooking a big meal that day, so if you miss it, you'll just have to wait until the next planting season."
At this point, Fang Xing swallowed hard. He still remembered the fried eggs from yesterday. They were not only delicious, but they also gave him a boost of energy, which made him go out for training again after dinner last night.
"And it would be best if you called every few days, Xiaolu and I would also like to hear about the interesting things that happened during your travels."
Fang Xing sniffed and gave a loud "hmm".
Calling out to Froakie, they gripped the backpack straps tightly with both hands and headed towards Wing City.
"Quack!"
The croaking frog, perched on Fang Xing's shoulder, turned back and waved goodbye to Fang Gu and Fang Xiaolu.
The croaking frog had a premonition that it would become much stronger when they met again, and that it might not be able to recognize itself.
"We should head back now, Lu."
Fang Gu rubbed Fang Xiaolu's head, who was somewhat dazed, and pulled her back into the cabin.
At that moment, Bulbasaur had just woken up from its sleep when it saw a Pokémon food placed in front of it.
Fang Gu smiled and said to Bulbasaur, "Eat up. In a little while, we need to go to the forest to the north to cut some wood and repair the chicken coop and Pokémon house so that we can have more companions."
Upon hearing about its new companion, Bulbasaur suddenly raised its head and began to wolf down the food in front of it.
"Slow down, don't be in a hurry."
"No one will take it from you," Fang Gu said helplessly.

Meanwhile, in the Kanto region, in Tamagotomi City.
Celestial City is a city located in the central Kanto region, and is the second largest city after Goldenrod City.
The name Yu Hong means the dreamlike color of a rainbow.
The gym emblem of Celadon City is thus named the Rainbow Emblem.
The Gym Leader of Yuhong Dojo is a sweet-looking female trainer named Rika, who often wears a kimono and is known as the last Yamato Nadeshiko of the new era. She is proficient in illustration, tea ceremony, and other arts, and also owns her own perfume shop, where her perfumes are renowned worldwide.
This almost perfect woman was now looking extremely troubled in the perfume shop.
The new perfume to be released next quarter has been redesigned several times, but Ms. Lijia is still not satisfied.
"Manager, this is the last batch of raw materials. If we can't find them, it will be too late to start production."
A shop assistant-looking person pushed a cart full of bottles and jars to Lijia's side.
Most of these bottles and jars contain extracts collected from Pokémon.
Their perfume shop is all about showcasing an unusual side of Pokémon.
Their best-selling perfume, "Oogiri Flower Love," is made by diluting the saliva of the Oogiri flower, giving it a unique fragrance.
This is Miss Li Jia's most prized work in her life. She feels that no other work can compare with it or even surpass it.
"No."
"No."
"Or not!"
Miss Lijia opened each of the bottles and jars in turn, took a light sniff, and was able to draw a conclusion immediately.
None of these are suitable for making perfume.
The shop assistant pinched his nose; the room, filled with a mixture of various fragrances, actually smelled rather foul.
But even under these circumstances, it will not affect Lijia's nose in the slightest.
Her nose is like a perfume radar; she can even discover the potential in the saliva of a stinky flower, so there's no need to say more.
Miss Lijia picked up another jar, thinking it would be just another ordinary attempt.
After taking a sniff, Kelica was slightly stunned. She took another sniff and couldn't help but sigh in disbelief.
"What a unique fragrance."
The bottles clearly display the address of Stardew Valley Ranch and Fang Gu's contact information.
Chapter 21 Ancient Moon Bird Forest
Lijia carefully examined the jar containing the "Affection Honey". The glass jar looked very common, but it stood out among a group of exquisite jars.
"Stardew Valley Ranch? It's far away in the Kalos region, but why can I smell the scent of Kanto Pokémon?"
"And the taste—"
