Pokémon Farm

Chapter 13 The teacher's face turned green with anger

Early in the morning at the academy, Xuan Mingtian, who was still in bed in his room in the courtyard, vaguely heard a series of noises. These were the noises of students getting ready for class, because the elf-shaped alarm clock had rung 5 minutes earlier. The time was 8:35, while the academy's class time was 9:00.

After getting up, Xuan Mingtian looked out the window through the light streaming in and saw the plowed plots of land in the front yard. He couldn't help but sigh, "This is life, this is farming. Although it can't compare to the amount of land at home, it still satisfies my desire to farm."

After helping Potian set up the plum blossom stakes yesterday, Xuanmingtian took out shovels, hoes, and other farming supplies from his backpack. After a morning and afternoon, he finally plowed the land in the front yard and planted fruit tree seeds. He counted about ten orange trees and five apple trees. He also planted tomatoes and cucumbers in a small plot to the left of the door, and leafy greens, cabbage, and carrots in a small plot to the right.

Seeing this scene, I felt a sweet sensation in my heart, and at the same time, I saw Xiaota completing her daily tasks.

After communicating with Xiaota yesterday, it now needs to water the newly planted trees, fruits and vegetables in addition to photosynthesis every morning. Garlic also needs to do this task, because the best way to cultivate grass plants is to be close to nature (planting).

Although Garlic thinks its owner is a bit unreliable, Little Tower told it not to worry because Grass-type Pokémon need to use abilities like photosynthesis and Grassy Terrain when planting plants. This not only allows them to better utilize their Grass-type energy but also makes these skills easier to master.

Garlic believed Little Tower's words. After all, it was astonishing that Little Tower could release skills like Grassy Field and Photosynthesis in just one second. With just one Grassy Field skill, the front yard was covered with grass. As a result, Little Tower was scolded by its owner. Grassy Field not only promotes seed absorption but also makes weeds more resilient, so Little Tower's scolding was inevitable.

"You all need to train hard at home today. I'm going to class now. And Little Cutie, don't just eat snacks all day. You need to take care of them. When you have time, go to the training ground and teach them some skills." Xuan Mingtian said to the Pokémon after washing up and getting ready to leave.

I arrived at the canteen at 8:40. There weren't many people there, because most students had already finished breakfast and were getting ready for class.

Seeing this, Xuan Mingtian muttered to himself, "These students are really diligent. Thinking back to myself, I would never be late if I could avoid it, and I was always the first to arrive when the bell rang to dismiss class."

At 8:59, just before nine o'clock, Xuan Mingtian arrived at the classroom door precisely when the bell rang, his hands in his pockets. He looked at the students and teachers who had already arrived with a blank expression, then quickly pulled his hands out of his pockets and sat down in his seat.

At this moment, the homeroom teacher was exasperated, thinking, "I can't get angry, I can't get angry. He's one of the richest men in the college now, I can't get angry." Thinking of this, his anger subsided.

The homeroom teacher continued, "Students, please take out your history textbooks and turn to the first page."

Upon hearing this, Xuan Mingtian was even more bewildered, because he saw his empty hands and the table, and his backpack was also left in the courtyard.

At this moment, Xuan Mingtian thought to himself, "I'm doomed, I'm doomed. I didn't bring anything. I was so focused on watching the vegetable garden this morning that I forgot everything."

At that moment, Xuan Mingtian saw Xiao Gang sitting next to him and had a sudden inspiration: "Teacher, I forgot to bring anything. Can I watch it with Xiao Gang?"

Xiao Gang, of course, saw his own embarrassing state, which is why he used his eyes to invite me to read a book together.

The teacher clutched his chest and said, "You, you, you're amazing, you're awesome, whatever, but you can't disturb the other students' class."

The next moment, the homeroom teacher felt a little regretful. After all, he only wanted Xuan Mingtian to move a chair over to watch together, but damn it, he didn't ask him to move the table over too. Helpless, he could only continue the class, since even the principal had arranged for him to live in a private room in the courtyard.

"Class, let's continue reading our history textbook. In ancient times, a dark substance emerged, formed from negative energy created by the aggregation of various negative emotions of Pokémon. It frequently damaged and absorbed the energy of the Tree of Life, plunging the entire planet into an unprecedented crisis. Fortunately, thanks to the combined efforts of legendary Pokémon and humans leading the Pokémon, the dark substance was finally destroyed. From then on, our Pokémon world achieved peace and development, and various professions were born."

Xuan Mingtian heard this in his mind, but inwardly he thought with disdain: "Peace, my foot! If it were really peaceful, I wouldn't want to study now and would be out having fun. If I hadn't been reincarnated, I would have really been fooled."

"Hey, Xiao Gang, what's your dream?" Xuan Mingtian asked.

Xiao Gang said, "My dream is to become the best Pokémon breeder."

"Wow, Xiaogang, that's amazing. Let me tell you, one of my dreams is to become a breeder. We should keep in touch."

"Okay, no problem. Let's work together then," Xiao Gang replied.

Without disturbing Xiaogang's studies, Xuan Mingtian, who was looking out the window, fell asleep without realizing it.

20 minutes later

"Xiao Tian, ​​wake up, the teacher is here."

When he saw the teacher coming over, Xiao Gang, out of loyalty, immediately kicked Xuan Mingtian's shin under the table, trying to wake him up from his sleep.

"Um, Xiaogang, is get out of class over?" Xuan Mingtian asked dazedly.

"Xuan Mingtian, stand up! If you want to leave get out of class, stand there until the end of get out of class!" the teacher roared.

Xuan Mingtian was completely bewildered. What was going on? Wasn't get out of class supposed to end? When he turned to look at Xiao Gang, he saw him shrug.

After class, Xiao Gang asked, "Xiao Tian, ​​what did you do last night? I saw you looking out the window and then falling asleep a little while later."

I absolutely cannot tell him that this is a tradition of some students in our great China. Then I said, "Yesterday, after I returned to the courtyard, I plowed all the land in front of the courtyard and planted tree fruit seeds. I may have done it too late."

"Xiao Tian, ​​you can even farm? Your family owns a farm, right? That's amazing!" Xiao Gang exclaimed.

"Yes, my dream is to farm and sleep until I naturally wake up, since I'm going back to inherit the family farm after I graduate," Xuan Mingtian said.

In the afternoon, the homeroom teacher stormed into the principal's office because he didn't have any classes that day: "Principal, you need to discipline this kid. He didn't even bring his books to the first class, and he was sleeping in class. What do you suggest we do about this?"

Seeing that Teacher Chen's face had turned green, the principal began to comfort him: "Teacher Chen, please calm down and don't get angry. Getting angry is bad for your health."

Seeing that Teacher Chen's complexion was slowly returning to normal, he said, "Teacher Chen, you have to understand Xuan Mingtian's family background. We talked about this in a previous meeting. Moreover, he is the fiancé of Dr. Mustard's granddaughter. He must be well-versed in general knowledge. He also told me when he registered that he didn't want to be a trainer, but only a breeder. Otherwise, I wouldn't have put him in Class 1, which focuses on training breeders."

At this point, Teacher Chen said indignantly, "Even if you're just a breeder, you can't sleep in class."

“I understand what you mean, but I have seen his Pokémon with my own eyes, and they are all very well trained, even better than some advanced breeders’ Pokémon. So you don’t need to worry about his academic knowledge at all. He’s probably just playful at this age. In addition, I plan to let him participate in the academy’s beginner Pokémon battle competition.”

Pokémon battles are of great significance to every academy, as they not only demonstrate the bond between students and Pokémon but also test students' command abilities. Therefore, every academy battle competition attracts enthusiastic participation from students, and the academy also sets up certain rewards for students to keep them passionate about Pokémon battles.

The alliance not only does not oppose the college battle competition, but also fully supports this behavior, because the alliance recruits a number of high-achieving students to work in the alliance every year.

This also brings us to trainers in the wild, who can also offer reward-based Pokémon battles, thus providing some benefits to ordinary trainers.

Teacher Chen asked in confusion, "Principal, to participate in the academy battle competition, you need to use the Pokémon that the academy has provided. He only received his Pokémon yesterday. And even if he beats the first-year students, what about the second-year students? You know, they have been providing their Pokémon for a year now, and the Pokémon they have trained are far superior to his."

The principal said confidently, "Don't worry, if I didn't have high hopes for him, I wouldn't have let him participate in the academy's beginner Pokémon battle competition. Besides, his family is very good at training Grass-type Pokémon. You heard about those top families in the league the other day, right?"

Teacher Chen said incredulously, "Principal, are you saying that the mysterious person who beat up those guys a few days ago is related to Xuan Mingtian?"

The principal said seriously, "Yes, the mysterious person you mentioned is Xiaotian's grandfather, and the ones who beat up their Pokémon were all Grass-type Pokémon from that family. So you don't need to worry about Xiaotian losing in the beginner Pokémon battle. On the contrary, I think he can get first place, which is why I arranged for him to live alone in the courtyard."

The principal thought to himself, "Am I supposed to say that I let Xiaotian stay in the small courtyard because he gave me the Seed of Miracle? Impossible. Hmm, this Seed of Miracle is indeed good for making tea. It refreshes the mind and strengthens the body."

"Alright, Principal, whatever you say goes." After saying that, the homeroom teacher walked out of the principal's office looking completely bewildered. Because of the amount of information, her mind couldn't process it all, and she could only walk back to her own office looking equally confused.

After school in the afternoon, the principal came to Xuan Mingtian's small villa and said, "Xiao Tian, ​​I'm here."

"Oh, Principal, you've arrived. Please come in."

"Xiao Tian, ​​it's been two days since school started. I came to see if you're settling in well. If there's anything you're having trouble adjusting to, just tell me," the principal said.

Xiao Tian replied, "Principal, no need. I'm quite used to it here, and the educational environment is so good that it would be unreasonable not to be."

The principal said, "Xiao Tian, ​​there's something else I need to tell you. Next week, the academy will be holding a Pokémon battle tournament, which is divided into beginner, intermediate, and advanced levels. The beginner level is for first and second-year students, the intermediate level is for third and fourth-year students, and the advanced level is for fifth-year students. It's also the last tournament before fifth-year students graduate, and it's a tournament before they become Pokémon trainers. So I'm telling you this now because I hope you can participate in the beginner Pokémon battle tournament."

After thinking for a moment, Xuan Mingtian said, "Okay, Principal, no problem. I also heard that the competition requires using the Pokémon obtained from the academy, right?"

"Yes, Xiao Tian, ​​the academy battles require the Pokémon you've been given. This is to allow students to train a Pokémon well during this stage, so that they can have a powerful Pokémon when they graduate and travel as trainers," the principal said.

After thinking about it, I also felt that this method was better. Although there were relatively few ordinary trainers in the academy, it was not impossible. This method was very suitable for them. After all, a Caterpie egg could cost tens of thousands of dollars on the black market. Allowing ordinary students in the academy to use the resources they had during their time at school to raise a Pokémon would indeed play a significant role in their future after graduation.

As the principal was about to leave, he noticed that Xiaotian's yard had been plowed and said, "Xiaotian, I didn't notice when I came here, but your land has been plowed?"

"Yes, Headmaster, I plowed the land on the day I received the elf. Knowing I'd be studying at the academy for several years, I plowed the entire field to plant trees, fruit trees, and vegetables," Xuan Mingtian replied.

The principal said, "Hmm, not bad, not bad. It seems you'll be perfectly capable of taking over the family business after graduation. And is this the Bulbasaur we received yesterday? It seems it really likes you. I feel even more confident about your Pokémon battles now."

“Yes, Principal, the garlic was collected yesterday. As for inheriting the family business, my parents want me to obtain a certificate as an intermediate-level cultivator.” Xuan Mingtian answered the principal, but then he saw the principal staring blankly at his front door. He turned around and saw that it was Po Tian.

Xuan Mingtian joked, "Principal, wake up, it's getting dark."

The principal, regaining his composure, said, "Oh, Xiao Tian, ​​I'm sorry, I was a bit rude just now. Xiao Tian, ​​your flying praying mantis is quite unique."

"You're kidding me, but it was the day I finished my enrollment procedures and went to the Viridian Forest Center to catch it."

The principal recalled the scene when Xuan Mingtian rode the tropical dragon and flew towards Viridian Forest: "So that's when you caught it. Your flying scyther is really amazing, it amazed me. Well, I won't bother you anymore, I'll go back now. Good luck on the day of the competition!"

Xuan Mingtian replied, "I will, Principal. Take care."

Nothing more was said that night, and Xuan Mingtian went to bed early.
