Chapter 8 - Planting (2)

(Lombre POV)

After Lobre returned to the fields from his meeting with Zygarde, he then started heading towards the southern part of the berry fields where Noah and his group were.

"Hah...what a tough day today is."(;TДT)

Lombre sighing as he walked.

First of all , to think that I, Lombre one of the berry field supervisors would get a chance to speak with one of our region Ruler .

He thought about the previous meeting and the reason behind it.

'What do they want with that kid Noah?'

Thinking like that, he couldn't help but remember what happened two years ago.

The entire forest was in an uproar with the sudden appearance of a human baby.

Moreover, judging from his condition, it was clear he had been abandoned.

Although many of them felt sorry for the baby,but some of them suggested that we leave it outside the forest.

Well... This may sound cruel, but you need to know something to judge it.

Some, if not most of the ancestors of the pokemon that live in this forest were pokemon that were abandoned or mistreated by their trainers during their lives.

And after they were released here, they started sharing stories with the native pokemon that lived here.

After a long time, a negative view is formed toward human.

But, there is some pokemon who still think about human positively.

Most of them is among the young generation.

I said young but the oldest among them is eighty six years old

They believe that, by thrusting the story before you see it yourself is an old fashioned way of thinking.

And sure enough, among the many forest pokemon that decided to be captured by humans, there were some that returned to the forest after their trainers died or retired.

They then spread the story about what happen after they were captured.

How they receive love and care from their trainer , and also how they become stronger after received training from them. 

Most pokemon inherently want to become stronger, that's why after hearing what the returned pokemon said, some pokemon started living in the outer part of the forest .

Despite knowing that they might encounter evil humans, they are willing to take the risk.

Let's back to the topic .

After many argument between the resident , unable to stand any longer, The Elder decide to personally taken care of the baby . 

Some of them tried to argue but was silenced by The Elder pressure.

Some time passed after that, even the eccentric Zoroark started to appear near the house many times.

Most of the resident also put aside their worry when they watch the child grow and playing together with the younger pokemon .

Lombre widen his eyes and stopped on his track when he finally arrived at his destination.

(○_○)!!

The previously barren land has now been transformed into fields filled with trees.

Not only that but there are several other pokemon inside , from the grass type pokemon like Oddish and Skiploom to water type pokemon like Poliwag and Wooper. 

It's seems that many things happen after he left.

Thinking like that , he couldn't help but look at one place where a child was standing surrounded by a few pokemon. 

" Oh, Lombre you are here ."

It's seems he finally notice my arrival, and waving at me to come.

" Lom..Lombre..Lom?" ( What's going on here? ) 

" Well you see it's...."

1 hour ago

Kirlia and I went to get fertilizer from the warehouse. On our way back to the field, we saw other Pokémon working in the fields.

There was a group of Lotad diligently watering the plants with what I thought were water gun, and there was also a flock of Skiploom in another field, which occasionally release the grass type move grassy terrain into the field.

From what I observed, whenever they used a grassy terrain, the plants would grow faster, so I can only conclude that the grass-type energy like the grassy terrain might be able to speed up the time it takes for the plants to bear fruit, without waiting for the season to change.

"Noah, what are you doing?" Kirlia asked, as she watched her friend approach a group of pokemon.

Hearing the question, he pointed to the fields .

"Kir, look at their fields, don't the berry they grow look healthy and vibrant to you?"

Kirlia looked at the berry field before her. Both the Pecha berries grown by the Lotads and the Cheri berries grown in the Skiploom field looked fresh and healthy.

" Do you think they would help us with our field?" 

I looked at my friend with a hopeful look.

"This... might be worth a try"

Kirlia thought for a moment before agreeing.

After that , both of us went to ask the Lotad and Skiploom flocks for their cooperation. During that some Oddish and several other water type pokemon who is nearby joined our discussion too. They only agreed to help us after we promised to give them some of our berries in return.

End of flashback.

"And that's what happened" 

I looked at the crowd of pokemon in our field, while telling Lombre who was beside me about what happened here while he was gone.

After obtained the cooperation from those pokemon , we returned to our field and began to plant the seeds, then the water type pokemon used the move rain dance in order to summon a light rain to water the plant followed by grassy terrain from the grass type pokemon.

Then after the rain ended , the move sunny day is used in order to maximizing the growth . The effect are immediate as the seeds began to grow faster and faster because of the combinate effort of many pokemon together and before we known it a sea of berry tree filled the whole field.

To bad that they didn't bear any berry yet.

However, according to Lombre, even among berries, Sitrus berry are notoriously difficult to grow, especially in the seedling stage. My decision to use a grassy terrain to speed up their growth was a good one , he said.

Since that move is packed with grass type energy which is beneficial for plant growth. Furthermore, thanks to the use of rain dance, all plants can be watered evenly.

Even after all the plants have grown into berry trees, you will need to wait a few weeks before they will bear fruit. With or without the help of grass type move. So now we can only wait.
