End of the Month

Chapter 37 End of the Month

After A-du left, it was evening that day.

Mingyou bought several more fruit tree seedlings online, such as plum trees and peach trees, as well as some green tea seeds and mushroom spores.

The environment in Beishang Township is very good. As long as the soil is not bad, the season will not have a particularly large impact on crops. There is no such thing as having to plant in spring or winter, otherwise it will be difficult to grow them.

It's just that the growth is a bit slower, but with rapid growth, this can be ignored. The agricultural development of the Hatching World is... terrifying.

Therefore, the price of fruit from fruit trees is generally low...

Having already eaten dinner, Mingyou sat on the sofa. After buying things on Taobao, she also searched for those move learning devices. Today, she had shipped more than ten trumpet-shaped bean sprouts.

"Let's look at the move learning device for the grass slide... it's actually being sold for over 20,000?! This...!"

Seeing the price of the grass slide, and the fact that it was out of stock, Mingyou felt it was outrageous.

So how is he going to sell his bean sprouts? List them for 10,000? Even listing tangerines for 648 gets him criticized, how dare he list them like that? Are you really going to fool some sucker like that?

This is outrageous...

But it's impossible for me to suffer a loss!

"Why don't we ask Xia? See if she knows anyone who needs to buy something..."

There are still too few loyal customers.

Mingyou understood this, so she sent a message to Xiaoxia, but she hasn't replied yet.

These bean sprouts with their added effects can only be hung up for three days at most. Bean sprouts can't be preserved for too long, otherwise it will affect their effects. If no one buys them, he'll just let the Pokémon in the grove eat them.

"So tired..."

He sighed, leaned back on the sofa, and reached out to pinch the belly of the sleeping Snorlax next to him.

Fortunately, it's almost the end of the month, and then it will be the peak tourist season in Beishang Township. At that time, I can ride the horned deer to sell vegetables to tourists every day, and I can also participate in the unique celebrations of Beishang Township.

After a short while, he looked at the giblets sleeping on the beach wrapped in towels.

The baby shark lost its composure, refusing to resist or eat, and had to be fed by a stag that hypnotized it.

"Poor little guy..."

Mingyou felt great sympathy for the Gible. The little guy was less than half a year old. The fact that it suffered such a blow and became so withdrawn shows that its trainer must have taken very good care of it.

Gible sharks are definitely fine; they are very healthy and do not carry any genetic diseases. They have even inherited the "big fuss" trait.

Most people would never abandon it, especially since giblets aren't particularly common...

Even though the wild environment has improved, many Pokémon that were once rare have become more numerous, and Lapras is almost becoming an overpopulation problem.

However, wild gible sharks are still very difficult to obtain, mainly because they like to stick together and adults have a strong protective instinct. When you spot a gible shark, there is a very high probability that a Garuda shark is watching you nearby.

Yet they chose to abandon it without hesitation...

Then the problem can only be with the trainer himself. He might be using Team Rocket as an excuse. It's more likely that there's something wrong with how he obtained Gible, or that there's something wrong with his identity... He's worried that if he's sent back by the Interpol, they might find out.

Of course, these are just Mingyou's own guesses. If the other party does something like abandoning a Pokémon, then he will definitely think in the worst possible way, and even suspect that the other party may be mentally ill.

"Anyway, don't let me catch you, or you'll be in big trouble!"

"Mmm~"

Ponpo ran in from outside and jumped into Mingyou's arms, with Latias following behind. They had been playing by the pond in the backyard for a while and had been teasing the little wild boar together.

Seeing the little Snorlax sleeping, Latias smiled, reached out its little hand, and wanted to pick it up and take it outside to get some fresh air.

"Stop it."

Mingyou reached out to stop its prank, and Latias immediately pouted. However, Mingyou wouldn't indulge it and let it run wild here.

"That's why you got arrested. Can't you be a little more mature? How can your brother be at ease if you keep acting like this? Ponpo is even younger than you, and it's so sensible."

"Hmm..."

Ponpon swayed its body, wondering if it was really that young. It had already lived for hundreds of years, while Latias seemed to be less than a hundred years old.

Mingyou: "..."

Oh no, Ponpo is the older sister!

"Cough cough..."

Mingyou coughed lightly twice to ease the awkwardness.

He continued, "Anyway, you can play, but don't bully the Pokémon here, and don't cause any conflicts with others. Kitakami Township will become lively in a while, and then everyone can go out and play together."

"Wuwu?"

Upon hearing that there was something fun to do, Latias immediately became interested, wondering if Kitakami Township was as fun as Odomare, the City of Water.

"Odomare?"

Mingyou asked curiously.

"Waaah~"

Latias nodded. Although it had never been there, it had heard its brother mention it once.

It is said that there was also a pair of red and blue water spirits guarding that place, but a disaster occurred there last year, and the blue water spirit sacrificed itself to protect the city... The story is very touching.

"Is that so..."

Mingyou nodded slightly, as if she vaguely remembered it, and then asked, "Where do you want to go?"

"Waaah..."

Latias shook its head. Compared to things that made it sad and pitiful, it preferred to be happy every day. Now it was very interested in human society and wanted to go to big cities to play, but it didn't dare to.

"Go to a big city? You'll have opportunities!"

Mingyou responded with a smile. After all, he came from a big city. However, from this simple conversation, it was clear that apart from being a bit willful and mischievous, he was actually quite innocent and cute.

He then continued, "You should all go and get some rest; I still have some things to do."

"Mmm~"

"Waaah~"

After Ponpo and Latias left, Mei walked over to Gible, lifted the towel, ignored the damage from its rough skin, and patted its head.

"Get some rest. Treat this manor as your new home. No one here will harm you. I will seek justice for you in the future!"

After saying that, he gently covered himself with the towel, and without even closing the villa door, went straight upstairs to rest, since there was absolutely no need for it.

Just after he turned off the light and went upstairs, the Gible on the sofa suddenly moved.

But it didn't wake up. It just instinctively stretched out its little paws, wrapped itself completely in the towel, and started trembling, as if it had a nightmare and was scared... This made it feel safer.

"shark……"

Several days passed in the blink of an eye...

Before they knew it, the end of the month had arrived, and Mingyou had been at the manor for a month.

Unfortunately, Xiaoxia replied, but it didn't help. In the end, they ate all the bean sprouts, but they quickly planted another box.

In the past few days, as the apples on the trees have begun to ripen, a special fruity aroma has filled the air, permeating the orchard.

The Ariados, along with the pangolins and Arbok, who also lived in the orchard, were attracted by the fruity aroma and waited around early on.

Perhaps influenced by the fruity aroma, the Electivire and Torterra, who had been unwilling to wake up, actually did. However, they were in extremely poor condition, like soulless zombies.

According to the observations of the horned deer, they have simply been awakened in terms of consciousness, but their hearts are still resisting waking up. However, this is already an improvement, but they still need to work harder.

The giblets seem to have finally accepted reality, at least they're now eating on their own initiative.

It sits on the steps by the door all day long. Even if Ponpon tries to play with it, it will respond with a sound to refuse. It stays there all alone, "isolending" everyone in the manor.

However, Mingyou breathed a sigh of relief, at least everything was moving in a positive direction, and he still needed to continue to work hard to guide them.

But before that... today is finally the harvest day at the manor!

"Let's start picking!"
