I'm in Pokémon, but the system is Stardew Valley.

Page 100

The Rainy Day skill can temporarily change the weather to rainy, eliminating the need for manual watering in Fanggu.

Although it seems that the watering work is now mostly done by Fang Xiaolu and her duck army (left silly and right silly version).

As for sunny days, crop yields will increase significantly, and most importantly, Bulbasaur's farming cheat code—the Growth skill—has double the effect when used on sunny days!

In other words, under sunny weather conditions, Bulbasaur can greatly accelerate crop growth and make the flowers in the Secret Garden bloom faster.

This is an epic buff!

As for the new skills learned later, such as Rapid Leaf, Poison Powder, and Leech Seed, they are just extras.

After all, we're in Stardew Valley Ranch now, where peace and quiet are what truly matter; fighting and killing are Fang Xing's business.

All Fang Gu needs to do is develop Stardew Valley Ranch properly and live peacefully with these Pokémon.

"To celebrate today's bumper potato harvest and Bulbasaur's evolution, I'll be cooking a big feast at the cabin tonight. Don't miss it!" Fang Gu said to the Pokémon around him. "Everyone, get ready!"

"Lijia, could you stay here for a moment?"

Fang Gu smiled at Li Jia, whose face flushed red. The tyrant behind her pushed her out.

"Congratulations on passing my test."

"this is for you."

Fang Gu took out the bottle of S-grade Affection Honey and handed it to Li Jia.

Lijia didn't immediately accept the Friendship Nectar from Fang Gu. Instead, she earnestly thanked Fang Gu, saying, "Thank you so much, Fang Gu. You've helped me rediscover the meaning of life. Instead of throwing myself into my busy work, I sometimes need to stop and look at the Pokémon that's always by my side."

Lijia turned her head to look at Bawanghua, her face flushed: "I'm sorry, Bawanghua, I've been too stressed out lately because of work and neglected your feelings. Luckily, you've stayed by my side."

Ba Wang Hua shook her head and placed her hand in Li Jia's hand.

That's not true at all.

Lijia turned back and said to Fang Gu with great confidence, "This time, I will definitely use the nectar properly and will not let it be tarnished again."

“I already have an idea, and I’ll go back and make it as soon as I get the nectar.”

The moment Lijia took the nectar from Fang Gu's hand, the latter withdrew his hand.

Fang Gu gave a forced smile. "I just said we're having a celebration tonight. You're such a workaholic."

Lijia then realized what was happening and gave an embarrassed smile. "Then I'll make perfume after I finish participating."

…………

Meanwhile, Fang Xiaolu, carrying the remaining earthworm potato pancakes, hummed a song as she walked into the forest surrounding Stardew Valley.

With a single glance, he locked onto an invisible Zygarde cell, startling the latter.

"You must be one of Little Dot's people, right? These are potato cakes I brought for it, but you can eat them too."

Fang Xiaolu squatted down next to the Zygarde cell and gently tapped its head with her finger.

"Could you pass on a message for me? To the little one."

In the distant cave, Z2's spirit was connected to that cell. Fang Xiaolu's light tap on the cell's head seemed to transcend the spatial distance, landing on Z2's head and causing ripples in Z2's heart.

Z2 squinted as he listened to Fang Xiaolu's story.

“I heard from my brother that you may have been hurt by humans, just like the stray cat I once met that lived by rummaging through trash cans and always bared its teeth at people.”

"But then a new person adopted that cat, and the cat let down its guard with that person. The two of them are now living happily together, and the cat has even evolved into the boss cat."

At this point, Fang Xiaolu seemed happy that Miaomiao had met good people again, and suddenly laughed.

"I don't even know what I'm saying. Just think of it as me sharing my daily life with you. Anyway, I look forward to seeing you again next time."

"Please don't leave without saying goodbye next time, okay?"

Fang Xiaolu put down the potato pancakes and ran back to the cabin with a smile.

Z2 remained silent for a long time.

Chapter 128 The Magikarp's Lonely Training

Stardew Valley Ranch, Lake of the Carp King.

As one of the few Pokémon that didn't participate in the potato harvest, Magikarp is undergoing solitary training.

"Gululu."

Magikarp first stood on the surface of the water, measuring the height it wanted to jump with a seemingly blank look, before sinking back into the water.

This is an essential running start.

A resolute look appeared in Magikarp's eyes. It swung its fins, slapping the lake water to generate a powerful thrust, propelling its red body out of the lake and into the air like a cannonball being launched.

The Magikarp, 'flying' in the air, opened its eyes wide. Magikarp's eyes have no eyelids or eyelids, so it cannot close its eyes.

This allows it to enjoy the view from the air.

That patch of green is a big tree. Through a bald patch in the canopy, you can see a pair of adorable flying squirrels storing food. They seem to have spotted Magikarp, clenching their little fists and unleashing their "threat" skill at Magikarp.

The general meaning is probably to prevent Magikarp from taking any of their berries.

Magikarp didn't care. Slowly, in its eyes, Emolga appeared to be only the size of a small fist, with a pool of water inexplicably appearing beneath it.

Oh, it's not a pond, it's his Lake of the Carp!

Magikarp jumped so high that it even had the air of someone standing on the summit, looking down on all the mountains below.

Magikarp slowly adjusted its posture in the air, preparing to land.

Now, Magikarp is starting to regret not having eyelids.

Magikarp stood with its back to the earth, looking up at the sky.

The clouds drifting further and further away seemed to signify that the giant hand of the sky was pushing Magikarp away.

It began to accelerate its descent, and with the sound of the wind whistling past, it crashed heavily to the ground.

Lying on the ground, Magikarp felt the pain in its body. After enduring it for a while, as if seven seconds had passed and its memory had been reset, it jumped back to Magikarp Lake.

Then it jumps up again, hits the ground, and repeats the cycle.

The impact gradually created a deep crater, and later, when Magikarp landed, it seemed to be stuck in it, having to hop around to jump out.

And that is its training.

To leap over the dragon gate, one must constantly endure the impact of the water flow while jumping even higher.

It won't work if you can't persevere after one setback.

Therefore, it is necessary to train both resilience to impact and jumping ability.

This "suicidal" leap was proposed by Fang Gu.

However, since most of Magikarp's body is covered in scales, it doesn't actually hurt as much as you might imagine.

"Magikarp!"

While Magikarp was still struggling and jumping, they heard a voice coming from Fang Gu not far away.

Magikarp, which was leaping toward Magikarp Lake, paused and instead jumped toward Fang Gu's location.

Despite being covered in wounds, Magikarp was still full of energy and waved its tail at Fang Gu.

"You guy."

Fang Gu sighed, took out the prepared medicine, and sprayed it at the wound of Magikarp.

"That's it for today's training. Don't even think about extra training. There's a harvest party at the cabin tonight, and you'll have to come too."

"Let me tell you about today..."

As Fang Gu bandaged Magikarp's wounds, he told him about everything that had happened on the ranch that day, a broad smile on his face.

When Magikarp heard that Bulbasaur had evolved, its blank stare revealed a mixture of joy and envy.

The little Bulbasaur that helped Fang Gu feed it has evolved! No wonder Fang Gu has such a big smile on his face.

Will his face look like that when I evolve?

Magikarp stared blankly at Fang Gu, who then turned around and took out a bottle of Moo Moo Milk from his backpack.

"This should help your recovery, give it a try."

"Gululu."

Magikarp surfaced, opened its mouth, and was slowly fed milk by Fang Gu.

Magikarp felt itchy all over and gently shook its body. The scales on its body that had been damaged by the impact were healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Fang Gu was taken aback; the effects of this Moo Moo Milk were truly remarkable.

No wonder it's a popular nutritional supplement.

Just after Magikarp drank Moo Moo Milk, the itchy feeling on his body made him unable to resist speeding through Magikarp Lake.

A red figure skimmed across the water, creating a ripple.

A layer of hazy white light emerged from Magikarp's body, and Fang Gu held his breath.

That is?

A general-attribute energy radiance?

"Magikarp!" Fang Gu exclaimed in surprise, calling Magikarp over and almost lying on the surface of the water. "It seems you've learned a new move!"

Judging from the way Magikarp had acted just now, Fang Gu realized that Magikarp must have learned the Tackle move.

Magikarp learns this skill when it reaches level 15 in the game.

In the game, Magikarp evolves into Gyarados at level 20.

However, this is the real world after all. The opportunity for evolution is related to "level", but there are other factors as well.

Such as emotions, feelings, weather, humidity...

In the anime, Magikarp evolved into Gyarados because of a trainer's disdainful kick.

However, Pokémon that evolve prematurely due to emotions will have a much worse physique and nutritional status compared to normally evolved Pokémon. Trainers will need to work extremely hard to adjust their diet and training methods to restore them to their original state.

That's why AZ prevented Bulbasaur from evolving prematurely in the cave incident.
