Chapter 320 Breeding

An Jie found Yamper when it was playing hide-and-seek with Alolan Meowth and Houndour. Houndour and Meowth were hiding, while Yamper was searching.

"Yamper!" An Jie waved at it from afar.

"Woof woof ~ Woof woof ~" Seeing An Jie, Yamper immediately ran over, while Meowth and Houndour, who were hiding in the bushes, quietly poked their heads out.

When Yamper arrived, An Jie squatted down and patted its head, saying, "What have you been busy with recently?"

"Woof?" Yamper looked puzzled. It hadn't been doing anything. Its job was to provide yeast, which was very easy for it.

Moreover, since coming to the Nibel Plateau and often bathing in Xerneas's fairy aura, Yamper felt that the quality of the yeast it produced was getting higher and higher.

"I wanted to ask if there's anything you want to do," An Jie thought for a moment and asked.

Hearing this, Yamper was slightly stunned. Something it wanted to do?

After thinking for a while, Yamper couldn't help but imagine itself walking in a wheat field. When the breeze blew, the wheat waves rolled, and the fragrance of wheat wafted through the air. That must be a very wonderful experience.

If only there was such a wheat field!

"What are you thinking about?" Seeing Yamper in a daze, An Jie asked softly.

"Woof ~ Woof ~" Yamper was simple-minded. Seeing An Jie asking, it told him everything it was thinking.

After listening, An Jie thought to himself: As expected, it's the same as the system said.

After thinking about it, he said to Yamper, "Yamper, when there's a chance, I'll find you a piece of land and let you grow wheat. Would you like that?"

Yamper was stunned when he heard this, and then excitedly shouted, "Woof ~ Woof ~ Woof ~" Willing! Willing!

Yamper and its evolved form, Boltund, both have an indissoluble bond with wheat.

Yamper can produce yeast that makes flour more delicious, while Boltund can emit a special aroma that helps wheat grow.

Boltund are very valued Pokémon in rural areas! It's just that their numbers are relatively small, and it's difficult for ordinary people to obtain them.

"Then it's settled," An Jie said, patting Yamper's head.

"Woof ~ Woof ~" Yamper nodded happily, then looked puzzled again. It seemed that there was no place on the Nibel Plateau to grow wheat.

An Jie and the others had already reached their limit by reclaiming land on the Nibel Plateau to grow vegetables, flowers, and herbs. Wheat couldn't be grown in small patches; it needed large fields.

An Jie said with a smile, "Who said I'm going to grow it on the Nibel Plateau? Have you forgotten that we have a portal to the Tree of Beginning?"

"Woof ~ Woof ~" Yamper immediately understood when he heard this, and excitedly jumped into An Jie's arms, constantly licking An Jie's face with its tongue.

"Hahaha ~ ~ Look how happy you are!" An Jie hugged Yamper and gently stroked its soft body.

Yamper's skin was like freshly fermented dough, soft and elastic, and felt very comfortable to the touch.

After playing with An Jie for a while, Yamper jumped out of An Jie's arms and ran happily towards its little friends. It wanted to share the joy in its heart with its partners.

Soon, it was rolling around with Houndour and Meowth, who had jumped out of the bushes.

After Yamper left, An Jie smiled and got up, then picked up Ditto and said, "Ditto, let's go find Goomy and Goodra!"

After some searching, An Jie found Goodra and two Goomy in the waters near Nibel Lake.

At this time, the three of them were floating in the water. Seeing An Jie coming over, they immediately swam over quickly.

The water level in this area was not deep, less than one meter. Goomy and Goodra usually liked to stay here.

Moreover, this area had been completely reclaimed by Goomy and Goodra into rice paddies.

Since being brought back by An Jie and understanding the work that An Jie wanted them to be responsible for in the future, they had been cleaning up this area.

Unlike the grassland that couldn't be reclaimed, there were large areas of water around Nibel Lake suitable for use as rice paddies, and the area reclaimed by Goomy and Goodra was only a small part of it.

Of course, this small part was already enough, after all, An Jie didn't have that many Wonder Rice seeds.

"Goomy ~"

Goodra and Goomy were extremely happy when they heard this, and immediately climbed out of the water?

They finally had work! They had work!

Since coming to the Nibel Plateau, the three of them had been eating for free every day. Looking at everyone being busy every day, they were almost embarrassed.

"Goodra ~ Goodra ~" Let's start now!

Goodra said, tugging at An Jie's sleeve.

"Now?" An Jie was stunned. He originally just wanted to come and discuss it with Goodra and Goomy today, and wasn't in such a hurry.

"Goodra ~" Goodra nodded, looking at him with anticipation.

"Goomy ~ Goomy ~" The eyes of the two Goomy were also full of longing.

Seeing this, An Jie chuckled and said, "Okay, then let's start now. The sooner we plant it, the sooner we can eat rice made from Wonder Rice. I wonder what it tastes like..."

Speaking of this, An Jie couldn't help but fall into fantasy. It should be very delicious!

Wonder Rice was very rare. An Jie had once thought about spending money to buy some, but unfortunately, it couldn't be bought on the market at all.

Goodra and Goomy also fell into fantasy along with An Jie.

Something that even An Jie hadn't eaten must be very delicious.

Ditto looked at An Jie, then looked at Goodra and Goomy, with a face full of doubt.

What's wrong with them?

Ditto jumped out of An Jie's arms, and a burst of light flashed on its body, instantly turning into Goodra.

"Goodra ~ Goodra ~"

It reached out and tugged at An Jie's clothes.

An Jie, who had regained his senses, said awkwardly, "Haha... I accidentally thought too much. Let's go home quickly and breed the Wonder Rice!"

Goodra, who had also regained his senses, looked at the Pokémon in front of him that looked exactly like him, and a big question mark appeared on his face.

Huh? Who are you?

Ditto Goodra smiled and leaned over, hugging Goodra and affectionately rubbing his face against Goodra's cheek.

This familiar appearance... An Jie smiled and shook his head.

"Goodra ~ Goodra ~" Goodra pushed Ditto away with a look of disgust.

Seeing this, An Jie laughed and said, "Goodra, Goomy, this is Ditto. You only met briefly last night, you probably haven't officially met yet!"

Hearing An Jie's introduction, a light flashed on Ditto's body again, and it transformed back into its original appearance.

"Goodra ~"

"Goomy ~"

Goodra and Goomy curiously came over and looked at the small ball of Ditto.

A Goomy reached out and poked Ditto, causing Ditto's bouncy body to jiggle like pudding.

Ange added, "Ditto has the ability to transform into other Pokémon, just like Mew!"

As Ange finished speaking, Ditto shimmered again and transformed into a Goomy.

It nestled up to the other two Goomy, nuzzling them, and their soft, moist bodies made them roll into a ball.

Soon, the three Goomy were all mixed together, and even Goodra couldn't tell who was real and who was fake.

"Alright, stop fooling around!" Ange tapped one of the Goomy on the forehead.

"Goo~" It's been discovered again!

The Goomy's body shimmered and transformed back into Ditto.

Goomy and Goodra stared at Ditto in astonishment: How amazing!

"Let's go home!"

Afterward, Ange took the four Pokémon home.

Once home, Ange first fetched a basin of clean water, then stripped all the seeds from the Wonder Wheat ears and placed them in the water.

After the seeds were soaked, some began to float, while others sank.

The ones that sank were good, plump seeds, while the floating ones were shriveled and bad.

Ange didn't know anything about breeding; he was learning from the 《Planting Handbook》 that the system had rewarded him.

After selecting the good seeds, Ange took out a new pot, placed the seeds inside, and said to one of the Goomy:

"Goomy, please use Life Dew on the pot!"

"Goo~" Goomy nodded and stepped forward. A blue ball of water gathered at its mouth, and then a drizzle of droplets fell into the pot, gradually covering the Wonder Wheat seeds.

Wonder Wheat breeding must be done with Life Dew to ensure the seedlings grow strong.

Seeing this, Ditto, still in Goomy form, shimmered and used Life Dew on the pot as well, imitating Goomy.

"Good job!" Ange gave Ditto a thumbs up.

"Goo~ Goo~" Ditto, still in Goomy form, giggled foolishly.

Soon, the rice seeds were completely submerged. Ange turned to Goodra and Goomy and said, "Wait here, I'll be right back."

Goodra and Goomy nodded obediently and formed a circle, craning their necks to observe the rice seeds in the pot.

Having been soaked in Life Dew, the rice seeds looked plumper and more lustrous.

Ange quickly returned, accompanied by the Morelull sisters and Solrock.

Reaching the pot, Ange said to the Morelull and Solrock, "I'm counting on you."

"Lullu~"

"Solrock~"

The Morelull sisters and Solrock nodded simultaneously. Goodra and Goomy then watched as Solrock emitted a dazzling golden light, while the Morelull sisters controlled green energy to envelop the water basin with the rice seeds.

Solrock released the solar energy needed for plant growth, while the Morelull sisters cast Grassy Terrain.

To everyone's surprise, the Life Dew in the pot began to decrease rapidly, being absorbed by the rice seeds bit by bit, as the seeds began to sprout.

Once all the seeds had sprouted, Ange said, "Alright, let's go plant them."

"Goodra!" Goodra took the lead, picking up the water basin full of seeds and eagerly heading outside.

Ange hurried after it, calling out, "Goodra, slow down, what's the rush!"

Reaching the rice paddy, the two Goomy, following Ange's instructions, drained most of the water, leaving only a shallow layer. Then, they divided the mud bed into neat squares, with ditches between them for drainage.

Next, Goodra carried the water basin and scattered the sprouted seeds little by little onto the mud bed.

Having done all this, Goodra and Goomy returned to the bank and stood side by side next to Ange, looking at the paddy with a sense of accomplishment.

Ange said to them, "Once the seeds grow into seedlings, we can pull them out and replant them in the paddy."

Goodra and Goomy nodded.

"From now on, the paddy will be in your care. This is our first time planting, so we must be careful and can't afford to make any mistakes."

"Goodra!"

"Goo!"

Goomy and Goodra nodded solemnly.

Then, Ange looked up at Solrock and said, "Solrock, I'm counting on you too!"

Heat is very important for rice growth.

The Nibel Plateau was not originally suitable for growing rice, but with Solrock around, Ange dared to try it boldly.

"Solrock~ Solrock~" Solrock responded in the air, hovering above the rice paddy, and the surrounding temperature noticeably increased.

Next, Ange carefully instructed Goodra, Goomy, and Solrock on some precautions, telling them to pay attention to controlling the water level and temperature in the paddy. Only then did he take Ditto home.

Arriving at the plaza, Ange saw Drednaw, Lilligant, Floette, and Flabébé sitting side by side on the wall, staring blankly into the distance.

"What are you doing?" Ange asked curiously.

Lilligant turned its head and asked, "Lilli~ Lilli~" When are you taking us back to the Glimwood Tangle?

They seem homesick! Ange thought for a moment and replied, "How about tomorrow then!"

The sooner I go and come back, the sooner I can finish this matter and stop worrying about it.

Hearing Ange's answer, Lilligant was happy, but it quickly restrained its smile, its expression changing from sunny to cloudy.

What's wrong with it? Sensing this change, Ange was puzzled, feeling that Lilligant had been acting strangely these past few days.

Floette and Flabébé, upon hearing that they were going back to the Glimwood Tangle tomorrow, immediately flew off the wall and headed towards the orchard.

They had to say goodbye to Florges; they hadn't even told Florges that they were leaving the Nibel Plateau yet!

Time flew by, and the next day, Ange planned to set off with Lilligant and the others early in the morning.

The Glimwood Tangle was in Kalos. With modern transportation, a round trip would only take a few hours. Ange estimated that he could be back by tomorrow at the latest, or perhaps even today if he was quick.

At the time of parting, Floette and Flabébé hugged Florges and cried loudly.

"Flabe~ Flabe~" We'll miss you.

Florges also hugged Floette and Flabébé with a reluctant expression, saying, "Florges~ Florges~" I'll miss you too.

Lilligant lowered its head and talked to Morelull and the others. Although it wasn't like Floette and Flabébé, a look of reluctance also flashed across its face.
