Aura—as it's called—is not Psychic ability or mental energy.
It's the biological energy present in every living organism in the Pokémon world.
Only those who undergo specific training—or special Pokémon—can perceive and control it.
The stronger one's power—the more intense their external Aura manifestation.
Could it be that a Riolu or a Lucario had snuck into the farm?
Noticing the unusual sensation gradually weakening—finally completely disappearing—such a thought inexplicably flashed through Wade's mind.
Compared to other Pokémon—Riolu and its evolution, Lucario—are born with the ability to perceive and control Aura.
The standard companion for every Aura Guardian.
After scanning the surroundings—Wade shook his head lightly—having found nothing.
Either it was hiding its presence—didn't want to be found. Or it was scared away just now.
Fortunately—most Pokémon of this type are kind-hearted. Even if they accidentally trespassed—nothing would go wrong.
With the Houndoom guard patrolling regularly—no need to worry too much about safety.
"Everyone—let's plant flowers together~"
Whether it was cool Ms. Gardevoir—alluring Mienshao auntie—or lively Tinkaton loli—they were all girls after all.
Clearly had little resistance to flowers.
Before long—they joyfully sprinkled seeds from their palms into the soil.
Filled with the hope of admiring a beautiful sea of flowers on the farm in the future.
"Nyu~"
On the other side—Sneasel was receiving special training guidance from Wade.
Equipment traits—very effective and powerful—ultimately external forces from the system.
Internal strength—relies more on daily training and accumulation of both Pokémon and Trainer.
A belief Wade upheld from beginning to end.
Just as fishing could lead to learning new moves and becoming stronger—the task of sowing seeds on the farm was also a profound art.
"Sneasel—do you see those pits in the ground?"
"Nyu~"
The little one nodded repeatedly—indicating all pits pointed out by the Trainer were within her sight.
"Now—gather all your Dark-type energy into your claws—and throw the flower seeds into each pit as quickly as possible."
Though she didn't grasp Wade's intention—the unconditionally trusting Sneasel still bared her sharp claws—lightly pinched a round seed—and shot it out with a "whoosh"—like a flying arrow.
With a slight impact sound—the flower seed accurately fell into the pit.
The posture was cool—but unfortunately—nothing happened.
"Don't be discouraged. We'll take it slow."
Wade looked at the little one's dejected expression—comforted her with a smile.
His Pokémon all had high potential—but learning new moves wasn't something achieved overnight—just by hearing a simple instruction.
More importantly—it required a sufficiently confident and steady mindset—and repeated practice.
Fortunately—the flower seeds gifted by Mrs. Noda—were numerous.
"Hmm… the force is there—but the speed isn't fast enough yet."
After observing Sneasel's practice more than a dozen times—Wade began to guide her like an old scholar—immersed in this art for many years.
"You used to be best at stealing things with the move Thief , right?"
"Now—try to imagine this scenario: you've gone through countless hardships to steal many rare flower seeds—and now you must quickly throw them into the pre-dug pits—and make them disappear—to avoid the risk of being discovered."
"Nyu?!"
Visibly—Sneasel's eyes gleamed with an unusual light.
She wasn't very good at sowing seeds.
But for a top pickpocket—handling and destroying stolen goods—wasn't that her old trade?
After a moment of thought—her expression turned serious—she completely entered the zone.
Celebi—flying in the air—instinctively widened her beautiful eyes—just in time to witness the scene that unfolded next.
Overflowing Dark-type energy—suddenly gathered at Sneasel's sharp claws.
The round seed turned into an afterimage—carrying bursts of terrifying sonic booms—as it shot toward the distant field.
Did it turn into a thrown projectile?
Accompanied by a deafening roar—echoing through the clouds—the hard gracidea flower seed—along with the intimately contacted soil beneath it—was forcibly torn apart.
Though one seed was wasted—it also completely announced that this tiny Sneasel had learned a new move.
[Fling] : Throws held item to attack quickly. Power and effect vary depending on the item.
Looking at the deep crater created by the impact not far away—Celebi's heart was stirred—much like Lilligant when she first arrived at the farm.
So—even simple farming can become very powerful?
"You're a quick learner. You've already mastered a new move~"
The farm owner—who had witnessed the entire process—also praised without reservation.
After planting the seeds—the next step was normal fertilizing and watering.
The fast-acting fertilizer previously rewarded by the system—all used up.
Wade could only rely on Pokémon strength.
"Celebi—I'll trouble you with the rest."
"Bi~"
Celebi flapped her small wings—hovering and dancing over the entire flower field.
A faint green mist—enveloped the soil where flower seeds had just been sown.
Accompanied by a fresh fragrance—one by one—the gracidea flower seeds broke through the soil—gradually sprouting green shoots.
Taking advantage of the forest god's ripening interval—Delcatty and Milotic nearby—took the opportunity to use [Rain Dance] .
Dark clouds gathered in the sky—rain began to fall in a steady drizzle.
Tens of minutes later—as heavy rain stopped—the sun peeked out again—reflecting small rainbows across the flower field.
"Ya Mi~"
Lilligant held her hands to her face—gazing expectantly at the gracidea flowers sprouting new shoots.
"It's alright. You can come see them every day. I believe they'll bloom soon!"
Wade chuckled.
[Mission Complete] : Reclaim the flower field and plant Gracidea Flowers.
[Mission Reward] : Mysterious Candy (Color)
"Lu~"
A moment later—Riolu—who had concealed his presence—cautiously poked his head out—looked into the distance.
The Lopunny that had been tilling the land—the Celebi flying in mid-air—the black-haired youth—had all disappeared.
Replaced by the fragrant scent of flowers—and an empty, quiet silence.
After a few minutes—once he was sure the farm owner had truly left—the puppy-like Pokémon jumped out from the bushes—secretly letting out a sigh of relief.
"Lu~"
Closing his eyes lightly—Riolu felt the powerful Aura still lingering in the air—an expression of hope appeared on his face.
This was a unique ability of their family—Aura sensing.
Riolu could communicate with humans and Pokémon through Aura—and with Aura—they could also judge people's character—distinguishing between good and evil—which would then evoke feelings of closeness or aversion.
A few hours earlier—he had been attracted by the powerful Aura emanating from the black-haired youth—and had been hiding nearby—secretly observing.
Hmm… he was planting these flowers just now, right?
Shaking off the thought of being a stalker—Riolu looked at the scene before him—tilting his head curiously.
