Seeing that Electabuzz and Combusken were already panting heavily, Julian raised an eyebrow.

"Sirfetch’d, stop them."

Sirfetch’d nodded and rushed straight in.

He did not use a move. He only gently placed his shield against Electabuzz’s abdomen, then suddenly exerted force and pushed.

Electabuzz was sent flying, landing and taking two steps back.

With the long sword in his other hand, Sirfetch’d hooked it beneath Combusken’s armpit and turned. Combusken spun away and retreated two steps.

With just a light move, Sirfetch’d separated the two who had been locked in endless close combat.

Originally, he had not reached this level either, but Julian had required him and Gallade to spar without using moves.

In just two short days, Sirfetch’d had improved by leaps and bounds.

Facing Gallade, who pursued perfection with terrifying intensity, placed enormous pressure on him.

If he did not improve, he could only be beaten.

Gallade believed in Sirfetch’d.

Just as Gallade was born knowing how to fight with his elbow blades...

The moment Sirfetch’d evolved, he could naturally learn how to use his shield and long sword without being taught.

The rest only needed to be continuously refined through sparring.

Then he could become a weapon master!

Just this move from Sirfetch’d directly shocked Electabuzz.

Compared to last time, that white-feathered duck had actually improved so much again!

Julian took out a Potion and first treated Electabuzz.

Then came Combusken.

Combusken excitedly waved his hands.

"Combusken!"

Now that the battle was over, was it time to eat?

Julian was somewhat stunned.

When he saw Combusken gain two arms after evolving, he had thought the little fellow was excited because an extra pair of hands meant he could perform more types of moves in battle.

In the end!

This kid was purely excited that he now had two hands and could eat better!

"All right. Eat something first."

Julian prepared a plate of food for both Electabuzz and Combusken.

Electabuzz also had a bucket of food.

Beyond satisfying the needs of an Electric-type Pokémon to store more electricity, it was designed to strengthen muscles and bones as much as possible.

"After training, you can eat some of this. Don’t eat until you’re too full. When you feel like you can still eat a little more, you can stop."

Electabuzz nodded.

As he tasted it, he discovered that compared to the kind Julian had given him last time, this one clearly suited his taste better.

While eating, he pointed at the fruit trees.

"Electabuzz!"

Several of the trees over there had already ripened. Electabuzz was telling Julian to pick some Berries and take them away.

Julian smiled.

"All right."

Then he took out the seeds he had bought from his backpack.

"Electabuzz, look at this."

Electabuzz raised an eyebrow and discovered they were all seeds he did not recognise.

"Electabuzz?"

"These are seeds for Berries your grove doesn’t have, or Berries I think we should increase the number of."

Electabuzz’s eyes lit up.

Aside from running to the mountaintop to absorb electricity from thunderclouds and become stronger...

His favourite thing was taking care of these Berries.

With new fruit trees available, Electabuzz was already rubbing his hands excitedly.

"Once you and Combusken finish eating, we’ll plant these Berry seeds together."

Electabuzz immediately sped up his eating.

As for Combusken, his plate was already empty.

"Combusken~"

He looked at Julian somewhat flatteringly, only hoping Julian would give him a little more.

Julian did not speak. He simply used Aura to check Combusken’s physical condition.

After evolving, this kid’s appetite had increased even more than Julian had calculated.

He really could eat!

After evolution, Combusken’s food formula needed to be adjusted.

Since the food meant for Torchic was suitable for him, it was better to let him finish it sooner.

Julian took out hoes from his backpack and handed one each to Electabuzz and Combusken.

Gengar also floated over.

"Gengar~"

"Here."

Julian smiled and handed Gengar one too.

He had prepared quite a few small hoes.

First, he demonstrated the correct way to use the tool for Electabuzz.

Electabuzz widened his eyes!

Then he tried digging according to Julian’s method.

The soil was loosened so easily.

Compared to loosening soil with his hands...

Human tools seemed a little too convenient, did they not?

Not only was there a hoe, Julian also took a large watering can from his backpack.

"Electabuzz, from now on, you can use this large watering can to fetch water. It’ll be much easier than using leaves."

Electabuzz patted the watering can, then looked inside from the opening.

Humans really had made quite a few good things.

Aside from Julian and Electabuzz seriously digging and planting...

Combusken was very serious too, but he sent soil flying everywhere.

He was directly banned from using the hoe.

"You can dig with your hands. Train your hand strength at the same time."

Julian demonstrated the movement for Combusken. It was similar to iron palm training, driving the hand into the soil and then turning the earth over.

There was also Goku and Krillin’s training, helping someone farm by digging soil with their hands.

Combusken nodded.

Compared to using a hoe, bare-handed digging really suited him better.

As for Gengar, he treated this activity purely as entertainment.

After digging once, he circled Julian, Electabuzz, and Combusken three times.

Then after digging for a short while, he was attracted by Eevee and Bagon and ran wildly through the forest with them.

He completely forgot about planting trees. Even the hoe was thrown on the ground and ignored.

Hakamo-o, Gallade, Primeape, Sirfetch’d, Goodra, and Croagunk had all been strictly ordered by Julian to rest.

They could only play!

They were not allowed to come over and help, and they were also not allowed to train.

Since they had come into the mountains to play, Julian had simply brought all his Pokémon.

As for the rule that Trainers could only carry six Pokémon...

Sorry, that was used to restrict challengers challenging Gyms.

Julian was a Gym Trainer, so he was not within that restriction.

He could bring as many as he wanted.

Croagunk was somewhat restless.

Regarding Torchic’s evolution, he only felt happiness, without the slightest trace of jealousy.

Under Julian’s constant guidance, his mentality had also started to become calmer.

He wandered idly through the forest. Whenever he saw mushrooms, he picked them and tossed them into his mouth.

The brighter the colour, the more actively Croagunk picked them.

In the end, he held a pile of red-capped, white-stemmed mushrooms and lay beneath the shade, lazily throwing them into his mouth.

Julian nodded in satisfaction.

This kid has finally learnt how to relax.

Hm?

Wait!

Are the mushrooms Croagunk’s eating... poisonous?

Good!

You sly toad, you’re secretly training again

Forget it. Judging from Croagunk’s expression, he was clearly treating them as snacks.

Let him be.

After two and a half hours of hard work, all the seeds Julian had brought were planted.

Berries grew very quickly. With his hands on his hips, he looked at the results of their labour with satisfaction.

"Maybe this autumn, we’ll be able to eat the Berries we planted today."

Of course, the first year’s yield would be low, and the flavour would not be great either.

What they would be eating was not the flavour, but the joy brought by labour.

With the amount of food Julian had brought, Electabuzz did not need to worry about hunting at all.

He simply picked all the ripe fruit and gave them to Julian.

Electabuzz’s Berry cultivation skills were very good. These Berries were no worse in quality than the premium Berries sold on the commercial street.

Gengar froze in the sky.

Oh no!

Julian gave Electabuzz gifts, and Electabuzz returned the favour with Berries.

But Julian had given him gifts, and Gengar had not taken out a gift in return.

No way!

Gengar’s brain spun wildly, thinking about what gift he should give.

He simply reached into his mouth and seriously searched inside.

Very soon, a golden, shining pearl was taken out by Gengar.

"Gengar!"

Julian smiled and accepted it.

"Thank you."

He glanced at it and discovered that the surface of the golden pearl was actually engraved with some symbols.

This seems to be... ancient writing?
