Manor Lord in the Pokémon World

Ark invited everyone back to the manor, took out some food, and treated Wallace and the Pokémon. Everyone sat down on the grass together.

"The technique your Ralts used was for a Contest performance, right? Are you a Coordinator?" Fangzhou asked knowingly, trying to provoke a topic that interested the other person.

Upon hearing about the Grand Contest, Mikoli's eyes lit up instantly.

"You know about the Grand Contest too!"

He seemed to have been switched on, and immediately began to talk non-stop.

"The Grand Festival was created by my grandfather. My grandfather and my master wanted to spread this beautiful fighting style, so I have been practicing diligently, hoping to help carry on the Grand Festival!"

"I heard that the white mist at the top of West Mountain in the early morning is a special sight and is very helpful for the training of Lotus Leaf Child, so I came here specially. I have been on the mountain for quite some time, and just today, Lotus Leaf Child finally grasped the special use of the white mist."

It turned out to be the case.

Mikoli beckoned, and Lotus Leaf Boy, who was eating rice nearby, looked up and walked over. A faint white mist began to appear around them, and then the mist spread rapidly, covering the surrounding scenery.

The original White Mist skill was to conceal one's body and restore one's stats to normal.

But in the hands of Lotus Leaf Boy, it has now become a field skill.

If used well and in combination with the environment, it can even hide itself to increase the evasion rate and make it less likely to be hit by the opponent's attacks.

Fangzhou couldn't help but secretly admire Mikeli's talent as a Coordinator. Mikeli loved being close to nature and was good at learning from the changes in nature and turning them into his own strength.

"Alright, thank you for your hard work, Lotus Leaf Boy."

In just a few breaths, the Lotus Leaf Child cleared away the white mist, and the surroundings returned to their original state.

"I've been working hard, hoping that one day I'll have the opportunity to host a large-scale event and showcase the charm of a spectacular performance!"

Mikoli scratched his head, somewhat embarrassed, and continued, "However, this fighting style hasn't been widely adopted yet; it's only circulated among a few people."

Fangzhou pondered to himself, it seems that the Grand Contest has only just begun at this time.

He knew very well that in the future, this currently unknown event would be carried forward by Mikkuri and become a national event in the Hoenn region, second only to the League Tournament, and even spread to other regions.

"Would you like to try the Grand Contest?" Mikoli suddenly suggested excitedly.

"I just saw your Ralts and my Ralts dancing together. I feel that your Ralts has a lot of potential. Also, the fact that it gathers energy balls during battle shows that it can consciously innovate its moves. It's a Pokémon with a lot of ideas."

Mikoli was very excited, and Fangzhou could understand this feeling very well. It was like when he played games in his previous life, he always wanted to drag his other friends into the game as well.

However, it depends on Ralts's opinion. Ark doesn't see itself as the Pokémon's master, but rather as their friend, respecting every choice they make.

However, it seems there's no need to ask anymore.

Turning my head, I saw that Ralts' eyes were shining, her face full of anticipation.

It seems that the battle just now really had a big impact on Ralts, making it interested in the Grand Contest.

Before this, Ark always thought that its Ralts was a good player in League matches.

"Then good luck! Participating in the Grand Contest is tough, let's work hard together." Ark reached out and patted Ralts' head.

"Ralu!"

Michael laughed, "Perfect timing! There will be a small grand competition in Guchen Town in a month. This is part of our exploration of promotional models, and we hope to gradually expand our influence. We hope you can participate!"

"Okay, we'll definitely go in a month."

After eating and drinking his fill, Mikoli lay down comfortably on the grass.

As the sun sets and a gentle breeze blows, it feels exceptionally pleasant.

The boy's eyes were filled with hope. "My dream is to make Pokémon Contests a craze throughout Hoenn, and even the entire Pokémon world!"

"You can definitely do it," Fangzhou encouraged with a smile.

This isn't just empty encouragement, since the other person actually did it and even became the champion of the Hoenn region.

"Thank you for your trust, I will work hard! By the way, Fangzhou, what is your dream?"

Mikoli turned to look at Fangzhou, who was about the same age as her.

"Dreams..."

A scene suddenly appeared in Fang Zhou's mind:

On the estate's land, Pokémon of various regions and types live happily and carefree lives.

The manor boasts diverse environments, fostering various industries and radiating a thriving atmosphere. Countless Pokémon are drawn to it, regarding it as a sacred place.

Fangzhou lay down as well, his hands behind his head, gazing up at the darkening sky:

"My dream is to build the world's most amazing Pokémon Manor, a sanctuary where all Pokémon can live carefree!"

Mikoli turned her head and looked at Fangzhou in surprise, never expecting that Fangzhou's dream was so grand.

A paradise where all Pokémon can live carefree lives...

He then smiled slightly, "Go for it! You can definitely do it!"

Before they knew it, it was completely dark. Mikeli finally realized he needed to hurry back, so he put away his Pokémon, said goodbye to Ark, and left in a hurry, inviting Ark to visit Sootopolis Island when he had time.

Having learned the White Mist, Lotus Leaf Boy had no reason to stay in Unwhite Town any longer; he needed to do something more important.

Fangzhou watched the other person leave, then patted Ralts's little head, "From now on, strive for the Grand Contest."

Ralts nodded vigorously.

A month later, it will make a name for itself at the Grand Contest!

Of course, before that, it needs to be dressed in its most gorgeous clothes.

Fangzhou thought this was fine. Whether it was humans or Pokémon, the most terrifying thing was to be in a daze and not know what to do.

Ralts was able to clearly define her future development direction and the development direction she liked within a week of her birth, and she worked hard for it.

The happiest thing in the world is to work hard and achieve something in your favorite field.

Fangzhou looked out at the moonlight, where the manor land was glowing green, causing the cabbages to grow rapidly.

I estimate we'll be able to harvest tomorrow.

Success or failure hinges on this moment—

Whether cabbage can improve the quality of the silk of the spiny caterpillar is related to whether the spiny caterpillar can transform into a species to fight.

This is crucial to whether Ark can achieve a ranking in the textile festival.

It is also related to whether this manor can earn its first pot of gold for development through silkworm silk.

Fangzhou carried Ralts into the textile shop, followed by a series of thorntails.

The largest stinging beetle, Xiao Wu, was still diligently spinning silk; it hadn't gone out to join the fun earlier.

You're working so hard.

Fangzhou noticed that Xiao Wu was expelling far fewer insect silk impurities than yesterday.

Indeed, the construction of the weaving house greatly improved the quality of the silk.

Fangzhou took out a bunch of heart-shaped mulberries that he had picked that day and placed them in front of the stinging insects.

Xiao Wu leaned in and sniffed it, then his little eyes widened in surprise.

It smells so good!
