Pokémon, they've all been turned into girls!

Page 63

Without any hesitation or pretense of refusal, Yoshino, always straightforward, accepted it naturally and laughed heartily.

Finally, as he sat back in the driver's seat, he suddenly remembered something and rolled down the window before leaving.

"By the way, the weather forecast says there should be a cold wave coming soon, so you should prepare in advance."

Perhaps worried that the black-haired youth in front of him had only been in charge of the farm for a month and had no experience in dealing with such extreme weather, Yoshino hesitated for a moment before continuing to offer suggestions.

"If I remember correctly, you planted fruit trees on the farm, right? Although those saplings are not afraid of high temperatures, they are very afraid of cold weather. If you don't wrap their trunks with burlap to keep them warm, they will all die in large numbers within a few days."

"In addition, the large milk tanks in the grasslands also need some attention; after being exposed to cold, their milk will become thinner and its quality will drop significantly."

"No wonder I knew that. Thank you so much for your advice."

After listening, Bai Ye first nodded in sudden understanding, and then sincerely thanked him.

At first, he didn't feel much when he went out, but now that he's been standing outside for a while, he couldn't help but shiver, even though he was wearing shorts and a t-shirt.

For a farmer, the weather is a very important piece of information.

Consecutive sunny days, rainy days, or extreme weather such as typhoons and cold waves can all have varying degrees of impact on the farm's various crops.

Without taking precautions in advance, it is easy to fall into a situation of heavy losses.

"Looks like... I'll have to check the weather forecast every day from now on~"

Watching Yoshino's truck drive away, Byakuya couldn't help but sigh.

Unlike in the previous world where satellite remote sensing technology was used to detect weather information, in the Pokémon world, because all the satellites launched were bombarded down by the Ozone Layer 6, weather observers often rely on the power of Pokémon to predict weather changes in the near future.

For example, Vaporeon can sense the moisture around it through its fins. If it starts to tremble slightly, it will rain in a few hours.

Floating Bubble is even more versatile because changes in temperature and humidity cause its body cells to change and transform into different forms, making it a standard Pokémon for most weather research institutes.

Of course, if a Pokémon is extremely powerful, it can even change the local weather, such as the three legendary Pokémon in the Hoenn region: Kyogre (Fish-Headed Fish), Rayquaza (Ultimate Form of Caterpie), and Groudon (which can never fly).

"Lu~"

Just as Baiye was still pondering, the leader of the Blackhide came leaping out of the wooden house.

He reached out and gently pulled her into his arms, and Bai Ye suddenly felt his body, which had been shivering from the wind outside, warm up considerably.

To be honest, Fire-type Pokémon are really giant hand warmers—

I wonder what kind of unique and novel experience it will be when we interact with people in female form in the future.

"Come on, let's go to the farm and do some work first."

Bai Ye gently touched her horn and made a suggestion.

Although it was getting late, now that he knew about the impending cold wave, he couldn't just sit idly by and wait for his fate; he had to prepare early.

So, after taking flashlights, linen, and other items from the warehouse, Bai Ye and the Black Lulu leader marched toward the mountain orchard.

"Lu~"

"I never imagined it would turn out like this."

At this moment, under the light of the flashlight, part of the mountain orchard came into view.

When I came to check on them a few days ago, these saplings were growing well. But now, upon closer inspection, the once lush green buds have become soft and curled due to the frost, and the newly sprouted branches are withered and drooping, showing signs of shriveling.

Looking down slightly, the soft soil shimmered with tiny, crystalline lights. Just as Blackhide picked it up, thinking it was some kind of glowing treasure, it realized that the object was instantly melted in its mouth—it turned out to be tiny ice fragments.

Looking at the scene before him, Bai Ye couldn't help but sigh.

The cold wave arrived even faster than they had imagined!

If he hadn't come to check on them tonight, these saplings would probably have all died out in no time.

After thinking it over, Bai Ye quickly raised the linen he had taken from the warehouse and began to wrap the frozen tree seedlings one by one.

Compared to ordinary plastic film, linen has better breathability and heat retention, forming a "warming layer" on the surface of the tree trunk, reducing the direct damage of low temperature to the bark.

"Lu~"

However, just as the trainer was engrossed in his work, Houndoom, who was wandering around, seemed to have noticed something and began to call out loudly.

"what happened?"

Bai Ye placed the burlap on the ground, looking puzzled, but still chose to follow the little guy deeper into the orchard.

As he ventured deeper, he was astonished to discover that, unlike the outside where only soil was covered with fine ice fragments, the fruit seedlings planted further in had all turned into ice sculptures!

""

Before Bai Ye could finish his shock, a familiar figure not far away stunned him again.

Three deep blue, rhomboid feathers resemble a crown, and a long, wide tail, shaped like a colorful flag, falls to the ground as the person lies down, exuding a cool and noble aura.

Judging from its appearance, it is a bird-like Pokémon.

Okay, now he finally understands why there have been so many cold waves lately—

The next second, the system's information panel popped up.

Name: Articuno

[Attribute: Ice + Flying]

[Gender: Female]

[Level: lv60]

Chapter 82 A Refined and Cold-Fragrance Mature Woman

At this moment, this noble and aloof arthropod is lying deep in the mountain orchard, seemingly resting with its eyes closed.

Similar to Darkrai, which is a Mythical Pokémon, Articuno is not a regular Pokémon. Instead, it is classified as a second-tier Legendary Pokémon, possessing the ability to freely manipulate ice and inhabiting snow-covered mountains with permafrost.

If they fly across the sky with their long tails trailing behind them, the flapping of their wings will cool the air and bring snowfall to the ground below.

"Hmm... Could it have flown down from Tianguan Mountain not long ago?"

The summit of Mount Tianguan, not far from the farm, is a permafrost region, so it's not surprising that an arthropod inhabits there, and the timing of the cold snap coincides perfectly with her appearance.

"Lu"

Houndoom, who had been observing for a long time, was about to step forward when White Night stopped him with a gesture.

"Wait a minute, this Articuno seems to be acting a little strange."

According to the League's reports, Articuno flocks generally only appear during blizzards and often help trainers who are lost in the snowy mountains; their personalities are definitely gentle and friendly.

But now, looking at her trembling, ice-blue wings and the way she seemed to be struggling to open her eyes, Bai Ye instantly sensed something was wrong.

This aura was completely unlike the gentle and friendly persona described in the rumors.

[Farm Upgrade Task 3: Developing your farm will inevitably encounter some setbacks. At this moment, an Articuno, having accidentally absorbed an icicle slab and gone berserk due to unbearable energy, has landed in the mountain orchard. To protect the farm's safety, you need to completely calm her down.]

[Quest Rewards: Ice Gem (Red), Ice Radish Sprouts *300]

"Chirp~"

In sync with the system's task notification sound, the legendary bird Pokémon suddenly opened its eyes and let out a loud cry.

Her light brown eyes were completely stained with a savage blood red, and her hissing, accompanied by an explosive sonic wave, pierced through the entire orchard. In an instant, a beam of azure light burst from her mouth.

[Frozen Beam: Fires a frozen beam at the opponent. Sometimes it inflicts a frozen state on the opponent.]

"Lu~"

Just then, Houndoom, though aloof, was exceptionally loyal to its trainer. It leaped forward, and a molten orange-red flame erupted from its throat, colliding violently with the solidified [Ice Beam].

In an instant, an energy storm, interwoven with fiery red and icy blue, swept out in a ring.

In the blink of an eye, Houndoom, who was facing the attack head-on, was blasted away.

"Houndoom, be careful."

He rushed forward and hugged her tightly, gently comforting her.

Already possessing a level advantage, and having absorbed the immense power of the ice pillar slab, even with the elemental advantage, the Houndoom leader was no match for this level two god who had already gone berserk.

Bai Ye glanced around, and his heart sank again.

The intense collision between [Flame Jet] and [Ice Beam] caused the rapidly vaporizing and condensing water vapor to explode like a giant storm, completely destroying all the saplings within a radius of several hundred meters.

While it's important to defeat and calm Articuno, it should absolutely not be fought here.

If this guy unleashes a large-scale [Blizzard] attack later, the entire mountain orchard will be destroyed.

"Lu~"

After patting Houndoom, who still wanted to continue fighting, Byakuya had already made up his mind.

Can't beat one of them? Then drag them to an open area and let us gang up on them!

"This is not the place for battle yet, let's retreat!"

"Chirp~"

The Articuno, exuding a savage aura, watched the fleeing farmer, then suddenly flapped its icy blue wings, creating a fierce gale as it closely followed behind White Night.

Along the way, a storm as sharp as a blade swept across the land, and biting ice shards enveloped the farm as her long tail swayed.

Fortunately, although Articuno's strength was greatly enhanced after absorbing the ice pillar slab, it completely lost its rationality due to its berserk state and was easily lured by Shiro to an open space not far from the cabin.

Meanwhile, Gardevoir, who was of one mind with her trainer, had already foreseen the trainer's plan. The moment she saw Articuno, she gently raised her hand, and the [Moon Power] she had been accumulating for so long crashed down from the starry night sky.

Because it was nighttime, May's aerial attacks, already enhanced by the added bonuses from the spell, were further amplified.

In that instant when time seemed to stand still, Gardevoir unleashed its full power, and the silvery moonlight poured forth like a waterfall, unstoppable!

“Chirp!”

The Articuno, struck head-on, cried out in anguish, clearly suffering a severe injury.

To Bai Ye's surprise, she did not immediately lose her ability to fight. Instead, she continued to flap her wings frantically, launching a series of Weather Balls at close range at Gardevoir, who had not yet recovered.

"Garuda, use Dragon Claw."

At the critical moment, a clear, cold command voice rang out from behind.

Like a dragon god, Garchomp leaped out, and three crescent-shaped wind blades materialized between its claws. In the instant it was swung out, the luminous white [Weather Ball] was torn apart along with the air.

"Gardedoll, use your powers to grab her."

Taking advantage of the moment when Articuno recklessly used Brave Bird to fight Garchomp, Gardevoir, having recovered, used its purple eyes and wave-like Aura to subdue the nearly exhausted Articuno under Bai Ye's command.

In the blink of an eye, the legendary bird Pokémon struck by the supernatural power finally lost its ability to battle.

"call--"

After watching the thrown Poké Ball flash several times before finally settling down, Bai Ye and Cynthia both breathed a sigh of relief.

"Your guess is probably correct. I've heard people there mention it before; there is indeed an articulated bird that inhabits the summit of Tianguan Mountain, and it likely arrived at the farm around this time."

After a while, through Bai Ye's explanation, Cynthia roughly understood the ins and outs of the matter, and finally couldn't help but sigh.

It has to be said that this is probably the strongest wild Pokémon they have encountered so far, as it was able to withstand the attacks of Gardevoir and Garchomp without being at a disadvantage.

If Baiye hadn't had Gardevoir lie in wait in the open area beforehand and unleashed the full power of [Moon Power], this battle wouldn't have ended so quickly.

The battle has affected farmland, medicinal herb gardens, and mountain orchards along the way, causing varying degrees of damage. It is estimated that a lot of time will be spent on repairs in the next few days.

Although Bai Ye felt sorry for him, he still shook his head helplessly.

It was a completely unexpected disaster, one that could not be avoided.

Fine, from now on, let Articuno, that Pokémon girl, just pay for it with her body.

After completing the subjugation, he did not forget his original purpose.

It was because it absorbed the icicle slab that this Articuno went berserk, flying all the way down from Mount Tianhuang, and eventually accidentally ended up in the mountain orchard of the farm.

Only by removing the icicle slab can she be completely calmed down.

Bai Ye had also come up with a solution to this problem.

While you can't take out your Pokémon form, once you catch it, you can easily do so using your Telekinesis ability.
