Manor Lord in the Pokémon World

"I'll keep you in suspense for now; you'll find out in time."

That wretched riddle teller!

Fangzhou pondered to himself, what Pokémon would suit him best in the Sinnoh region...

Upon closer examination, there aren't actually many that meet the criteria.

Dialga, Palkia, or Giratina?

If all else fails, Uxie, Empyrean, and Azelf will do.

After leaving the doctor's research institute, Fangzhou rode his bicycle towards the manor.

As the sun sets, the sunset paints the surrounding clouds red, creating vast expanses of fiery clouds that seem to set the entire sky ablaze.

Back at the manor, all I could hear was the clanging and banging of construction noise.

Behind the hut, Robin was directing a group of strongmen to start construction, with building materials scattered all over the ground, including steel and wood.

One of the giants, wearing a white safety helmet and holding a blueprint, was directing the other giants, who were wearing blue helmets, to work on building a wall on the roof.

Each of the four muscular arms exerted force simultaneously, steadily lifting the three-meter-long steel structure overhead.

A row of stinging beetles stood neatly next to it.

Having just arrived in the sunlight, they were interested in everything, raising their heads and obediently watching from the sidelines, their heads swaying left and right as the monstrous creatures walked around.

Upon seeing the Ark return, Robin proudly pointed to the five powerful creatures.

"Look, this is my all-powerful Robin Construction Team. You came back late last time, so this time I finally found a chance to show you what I'm made of."

She took a sharp drag on her pipe. "They're all good kids."

"Uraa!" Hearing the praise, the superhuman pounded his chest with his four arms, showing off his strength.

Fangzhou gave a thumbs up, "That's amazing, that's so professional."

This was the first time he had ever seen a Pokémon construction site.

The Pokémon world sometimes feels completely extreme; some areas are technologically advanced, while others are very backward.

The difference is so great that they don't even seem to be from the same world.

However, the reason why backward areas haven't developed technology is simple: Pokémon are just as good as machines at working, so there's no need to develop technology there.

I don't know when I'll be able to support such a construction team.

Strength is quite rare in the wild, and they usually live in groups, with male and female Strength living happily together.

They rarely leave a lone one to be tamed unless you can gain the approval of their pack.

I must find some time to hear the story of Robin's encounter with these superhuman beings.

However, he still has work to do.

Fangzhou opened a bag and took out a packet of dark seeds.

These are cabbage seeds.

The manor currently only has Ralts and a group of Wurmple Pokémon, so the Pokémon living around it often come over to lend a hand.

Today, the speaker came over to help and dug holes in front of us.

Ark walked ahead, scattering seeds, while Ralts followed closely behind, covering them with soil.

"Chirp~" The stinging beetles noticed the Ark's movements, tilted their heads and thought for a moment, finding this side more interesting.

So, a group of slugs foolishly followed behind the ark, forming a line and walking back and forth in the field.

As the cultivation level is upgraded to level two, the crop produced will be upgraded to level D treasure.

Fangzhou looked expectantly at the large tract of land he had planted, wondering what effect the cabbage from this D-level treasure would have, and what special function it could awaken.

Suddenly, several birds chirped from the wooden house.

Fangzhou looked over and saw that the Great Swan had returned from learning hunting skills with the Little Pride Swallows, and was now staring intently at the Stingerbugs below.

Sensing the terrifying gaze, the stinging insects looked around warily.

Still looking? You're here to eat!

The little proud swallows were eager to get started and planned to have a real battle.

Fangzhou had a bad feeling. The Great Swallow could catch stinging beetles!

Not only Swellow, but many bird-like Pokémon hunt Wurmple.

The encyclopedia entry states that when attacked by enemies such as Munchlax, Tailwing, or Swellow, the Stingray will release poison from the stinger at its tail to defend itself.

Fangzhou quickly stepped forward, spreading his arms to protect the stinging beetle.

He called out to the swallows under the eaves, "These stinging beetles are our farm's companions. Don't treat them as food; let's coexist peacefully!"

The giant swallow tilted its head, seemingly finding it a bit strange to coexist peacefully with a group of food, but seeing the Ark guarding the stinging beetles, it smacked its lips and returned to its nest.

Fang Zhou breathed a sigh of relief when King Yan agreed to his advice, but he couldn't help but worry that if he wasn't at the manor one day, the Stingray might be eaten by some foreign bird Pokémon.

Looking at the textile house under construction, Fangzhou finally understood what the mayor meant by "giving the stinging insects a home".

No wonder the doctor also mentioned that one way to ensure the consistent quality of the silk from the tussock beetle is to build a weaving house.

They must be given a safe place to live.

Meanwhile, Robin's work was nearing completion. She was in charge of the entire town's construction and had a thorough understanding of these projects, making accurate predictions.

Before nightfall, a beautiful textile house appeared behind the wooden house where the ark lived.

A small windmill hangs on the door, and next to it is a sign with the three cursive characters "Textile House" written on it.

"Alright, it's been a pleasure working with you." Robin pointed to the Ark's manor. "I didn't expect this manor to be so close to being revived, but there are still many areas that can be improved."

She pointed to the empty space next to her, "You can build a chicken coop here. Do you know what a chicken coop is? The hen lays eggs, the eggs hatch into chicks, and the chickens can be sold. With just one hen, you can create wealth continuously by laying eggs and raising more chickens."

"We can build a cowshed here, a sheepfold here, a smaller pond next to it, and a waterwheel by the river..."

ark:??!

"Okay, okay, Ms. Robin, please shut your mouth. I would be very grateful if you would help me build it for free."

The two were already quite familiar with each other, and Fang Zhou unceremoniously pushed her to the door, not giving her a chance to speak again.

To be honest, Fangzhou admitted that he was tempted.

I originally thought the manor was already quite nice, but after hearing what the other person said, I suddenly felt it was indeed a bit too empty.

In addition to the buildings the other party just mentioned, an orchard could even be built.

Unfortunately... I don't have the money!

"I'll give you a 1% discount then!" Robin led her army of monstrous strength away, her laughter echoing all the way.

Fangzhou walked to the textile shop and pushed open the door.

Ralts walked in first, followed by the other spiky bugs.

On either side are two tree-trellis mesh walls covered with branches, where the stinging beetles can rest very comfortably.

The rest of the arrangements are the same as what I saw at Professor Birch's place; it seems to be Robin's doing.

Robin had previously explained how to use it to Ark.

Ark looked at Ralts, who immediately understood.

These are my underlings.

It floated into the air, flicked its cape, and waved its little hand at the grid wall.

"Ralu!"

Like well-trained soldiers, the stinging beetles immediately climbed onto the trellis.

"Ralu!"

At Ralts' command, the insects frantically spit out silk towards the automatic silk-collecting machine in the center.

The machine turned slowly, entangled by strands of silk.

It's nice, but there are too many impurities; it's dark yellow and looks very dirty.

After visiting Dr. Birch and seeing what high-grade insect silk should look like, Ark increasingly felt that its own insect silk was no match for his.

Let's go to Xishan tomorrow and look for the heart-shaped mulberry tree.
