Early the next morning.
The farm owner, still lying amidst the soft, moist snowy whiteness, opened his eyes and heard a knock from outside the wooden cabin.
"Coming, wait a moment."
Gently moving the curvaceous girl leaning on his shoulder to the pillow, Hakuya dressed neatly and pushed the door open to go out.
The visitor was an old man wearing a thick brown coat.
White-haired, with a kind face, probably around sixty years old.
"Long time no see, Hakuya. How is the farm management going recently?"
Seeing this familiar face and attire, Hakuya replied politely with a smile.
"Mayor, the farm construction work is going very smoothly so far... Look, over there are the newly matured Wan-Wan Grain fields, and the reclaimed small ponds are stocked with different kinds of fish..."
"Not bad. Although you only took over for a month or so, it's already shaping up... This is much better than your grandfather back then, haha~"
After exchanging pleasantries for a while, the Mayor of Hinata Town nodded with satisfaction at the current status of the farm and cut straight to the chase.
"By the way, I came here specially today to bring you something." "Poli~"
As soon as he finished speaking, two Poliwrath following him shouted, carrying a large piece of equipment together and walking towards them.
"Bi~"
Just finishing today's farm care work, the petite Celebi sat lightly on Hakuya's shoulder, casting a curious gaze over.
It was a machine with a silver-white casing, a prominent yellow energy bar engraved on the front, and a circle of pitch-black metal rings on top.
"This is a universal power storage machine equipped for the farm. It can efficiently absorb and store electricity released by Pokémon."
"If fully charged in advance, based on your current farm area and normal usage, it can maintain the farm's electricity needs for about half a year."
Commanding the Poliwrath to place the equipment on the clearing in front of the wooden cabin, the old Mayor began to introduce.
"Although winter is coming soon and there won't be as many rainstorms and typhoons as in summer, occasional extreme weather like blizzards may appear, paralyzing the town's power system..."
"With this machine, if that happens, you can use the electricity stored inside in advance to live and produce normally."
"Understood. Thank you very much for your help, Mayor."
Looking at the brand-new power machine before him, Hakuya thanked him sincerely.
Different from using coal-fired thermal power generation in his previous life, in the Pokémon world, besides conventional power generation methods, the power of Pokémon was often used.
For example, in Mauville City of the Hoenn region, Gym Leader Wattson creatively used the combination of Magnemite + Electrode, using their [Thunderbolt] and other moves to supply power to the city.
In the Kalos region, some farm owners tried and promoted a "Sunflora Power Generation Method"—absorbing sufficient solar energy through Sunflora and converting it into electrical energy using the [Solar Beam] move.
The characteristics were pure natural, pollution-free, and compared to the former, there would be no side effects like Steel-type Pokémon overheating or Electric-type Pokémon having "charged symptoms."

"Gardevoir, please move this to the warehouse in the back~"
After watching the old Mayor leave, Hakuya called Miss Gardevoir beside him.
"Eh, what is this?"
On the side, Hilda, walking out of the wooden cabin, looked at a large machine floating through the air, tilting her head in confusion.
"It's a power device sent specially by the Mayor. Now we have to connect it to the main power source of the farm."
Hakuya reached out and rubbed her silky long hair, smiling.
After a night of cultivation yesterday, this lively and straightforward chestnut-haired girl also successfully transformed into a woman.
The originally dashing high ponytail hairstyle now completely fell on her snowy shoulders, adding a few points of mature and charming temperament. Her fair, snowy-tender pretty face still had a few traces of thin redness left after the tide of love, appearing exceptionally tempting.
"So that's it. Then let me help Ah-Ye too~"
Hearing this, the tall, delicate chestnut-haired girl gently pulled Hakuya's arm, smiling like a flower.
After all, being in the inseparable stage, Miss Hilda wished to stick with her sweetheart more at this moment.
As for the other female-ripe silver-haired maid who hadn't been deflowered yet, she was currently preparing breakfast in the kitchen.
Although hearing the clanging sounds from the door, one could tell her progress wasn't going smoothly.
"Zebstrika, use Thunderbolt."
Since Hakuya currently hadn't captured any Pokémon mastering Electric-type moves, after he connected the power device to the farm's main power source, Hilda volunteered to send out Zebstrika.
"Neigh-hiss~"
In an instant, accompanied by a high-pitched horse cry, this Pokémon's mane stood up all over, and the white stripes covering its body were instantly completely dyed by golden electric sparks.
Streaks of surging lightning turned into substance, blasting onto the metal ring of the power device.
Hakuya looked over and saw the energy bar engraved on the front of the machine rising visibly.
1%... 8%... 15%... 22%...
As Zebstrika was seemingly drained of the last drop of electrical energy, looking exhausted, the energy bar finally froze at 29%.
"Thank you, Hilda."
Seeing this, Hakuya nodded with satisfaction.
Although it was only a little over a quarter, the stored amount could supply the farm with two months of electricity.
"I'll have to capture a few more Electric-type Pokémon later."
Locking the warehouse after installing the power machine, Hakuya took Hilda back to the wooden cabin.
Along the way, he was still thinking about how to build a reasonable power supply system for the farm according to the system mission requirements.
Although Gardevoir and the others could also learn Thunderbolt, there were specializations in skills.
Just thinking slightly, many Pokémon candidates suitable for generating electricity for the farm flooded into Hakuya's mind.
Cute and petite Pachirisu and Emolga would radiate generated electricity through the electric sacs on their cheeks. After capture, they would probably turn into pretty, childish mouse girls.
And Galvantula, also an Electric-type, was quite good too, able to spit out a large amount of charged spider silk.
Whether collecting silk to make high-end clothing or generating electricity for the farm, it could handle the job well.
Of course, the most critical thing was that after humanization, they should turn into spider girls... the kind with numbing electric currents...
Just as the farm owner was deliberating whether to choose mouse girls or spider girls, a melodious cry echoed over the farm.
"Sneasel~"
Sharp-eyed little Sneasel seemed to sense something, tugging at the hem of the Trainer who also came out to greet them.
"..."
Following the little guy's gaze, Hakuya immediately saw two female figures put down by Articuno, freezing in surprise.
???
No? Didn't you go patrol Mount Coronet last night?
Why does it look like you went to rob two bandit wives back?!
