The early morning light filtered softly through the curtains as Riven stirred awake. The rhythmic sounds of his farm—the gentle buzz of Shinx's static charge, the quiet rustling of leaves—had become a comforting soundtrack to his new life. Today marked the sixth day since the System had activated, and Riven could feel a subtle shift: not only were his Pokémon growing stronger, but the farm itself was beginning to flourish in ways that promised even greater things ahead.
[System Notification]
"Good morning, Trainer Riven."
"Farm Level: 2 — Current FP: 132 — SP: 84"
"Daily Quest #6 Available"
"Weekly Quest #2 Unlocking in 5 days"
"Yearly Quest: Active"
Riven sat up and stretched. The daily quests were now becoming a familiar rhythm, a framework within which he could push forward. But the system had mentioned the upcoming weekly quest—something more demanding, but with greater rewards. He glanced down at his Riolu, who was already eagerly waiting by the door, ready for another day of growth.
[Daily Quest #6: Expanding Farm Productivity]

Plant 5 new Berry Bushes (Choose from Oran, Sitrus, or Pecha Berries)

Riven nodded in approval. The system was pushing him to develop multiple facets simultaneously—farming, training, and maintenance. His progress would rely on how well he managed time and resources.
After a quick breakfast, Riven stepped outside with a basket of seeds. The sun warmed the soft soil of the farm as he knelt down to plant five new berry bushes along the western edge of the property.
He selected a mix of Oran and Pecha berries—both useful for healing during battles and useful trade items in the future.
"Alright, team," Riven said, looking at Riolu, Shinx, Purrloin, and Buneary. "Let's get these planted and watered."
Riolu's aura flared gently, guiding a precise circle around the planting area, ensuring the soil was aerated. Shinx sparked lightly to encourage water absorption in the earth. Purrloin and Buneary helped clear away debris and placed protective leaves around the saplings.
The team worked in perfect harmony, their efforts not just physical but instinctive.
With the new bushes planted, it was time for the endurance circuit—a grueling training regimen designed to push stamina and teamwork.
Riven set up a course around the farm: laps, obstacle climbs, sprint intervals, and mock battles.
"Today's focus is stamina and pacing," he told the team. "Remember, battles aren't always about quick strikes. Sometimes, it's about lasting longer than your opponent."
Riolu took the lead, dashing and bounding with unrelenting energy. His aura was steady but intense—a sign he was learning to control his reserves.
Shinx followed close behind, lighting up the path with static sparks that kept him energized.
Purrloin and Buneary took the obstacle course seriously, weaving through trees and leaping over logs. Both were learning the importance of conserving energy while moving efficiently.
Throughout the training, Riven watched carefully, giving tips and encouragement.
"Great job, Buneary! Try to regulate your breathing."
"Purrloin, keep your movements smooth, and save your energy for the strike."
After a break, Riven turned to the irrigation system that had started showing minor leaks near some valves.
He retrieved his tools from the small shed and got to work, tightening pipes and reinforcing weak joints.
[System Notification]
"Farm irrigation efficiency increased by 8%."
"Good work," Riven muttered, wiping sweat from his brow. Keeping the farm infrastructure sound was as critical as training his Pokémon. Without a steady water supply, the berry bushes wouldn't thrive, and the system's resource output would suffer.
Reviewing and Adjusting Move Sets
Once the irrigation repairs were done, Riven called his team together under the large oak tree near the barn.
It was time to review their moves, optimizing for their individual strengths and teamwork potential.
He pulled out a small device from his pocket, which immediately connected to the System interface.

Riven studied the list carefully.
"Purrloin's moves are mostly about distraction and agility," he mused. "I want to teach her some more offensive techniques soon."
"Buneary's speed is her asset, but she needs to learn stronger moves if she's going to keep up."
He opened the system's move tutoring options and set training goals to teach Purrloin Bite and Buneary Double Kick as soon as possible.
System Explanation: Farming and Training Integration
As the sun dipped low, the system pinged softly.
[System Update]
"Trainer, your balance of farm care and Pokémon training is critical for progress."
"Farm upgrades increase resource yields, including FP and SP generation."
"SP is essential for purchasing new skills and abilities for both you and your Pokémon."
"FP can be reinvested into farm expansion, tools, and purchase of rare items like Evolution Stones or Advanced Training Gear."
"Keep completing daily quests to maintain steady growth."
"Weekly and yearly quests unlock significant milestones and rare rewards."
Riven absorbed the words carefully. The system wasn't just a tool—it was a mentor pushing him to become a master, not only in battle but in business.
After dinner, Riven took a moment by the glowing fire pit near the barn. His Pokémon gathered around him, tired but content.
Riolu sat close, his glowing eyes meeting Riven's.
"You're doing great, buddy," Riven whispered. "We're growing stronger, and this farm will be something amazing. I promise."
Shinx jumped up beside him, purring softly. Purrloin curled against Riven's leg, and Buneary hopped to his side, all showing their trust and loyalty.
The farm was becoming more than a place to grow berries; it was their home. A place where bonds were forged stronger than steel.
