Chapter 282: The Plump Snorlax ~ Ryosuke's Team

By the battle arena.

"Breloom?"

The revived Breloom asked Natsume how to face such a move.

Natsume replied, "First, of course, is to always be aware of the changes in the environment during battle."

"Of course, even if you notice, there are ways to counter it."

"For Breloom, you can use Mud Shot to cover moves like Sticky Web, or you can use Rock Tomb."

Breloom listened to Natsume's words and immediately showed a thoughtful expression.

"Gym Leader Natsume, Munchlax has evolved!"

At that moment, an excited shout came from the fields.

Natsume looked towards the land.

At that moment, Munchlax's body was glowing.

When Munchlax learned that it was coming to the farm, it was quite nervous.

But once it arrived, it immediately fell in love with the place.

The mountains were full of berries, and there were endless hearty grains.

The eggs given by Blissey were delicious, and the honey shared by Teddiursa was also very tasty.

The Pollen Puffs from Ribombee were, of course, good too, but it always felt like they were gone before you could really taste them.

Indeedee would scold it sometimes, but just thinking about the food it made made Munchlax drool.

If Munchlax's evolution required friendship, then the reason for Munchlax's increased friendship must be this farm!

"Snorlax!"

As the light faded, a large, fluffy Snorlax appeared in the fields, catching everyone's attention.

"It's Snorlax, so big!"

Aiko ran over excitedly, "Can I hug you?"

"Snorlax~"

Aiko immediately excitedly threw herself onto Snorlax's belly.

"So warm, so comfortable~"

"Snorlax~"

Snorlax looked around and then turned its gaze to Natsume, who was walking over.

Snorlax wanted to keep eating.

Natsume looked at Snorlax and smiled, "Go ahead, eat."

"Snorlax~"

Snorlax immediately began happily munching on the hearty grains from the farm.

Watching Pokémon eat is actually a very comforting and stress-relieving thing.

Especially a big blue guy with a round, white belly.

Snorlax looked goofy.

Its eyes were squinted, and the two fangs at the corners of its mouth looked very cute.

After eating its fill, Snorlax yawned and lay down on the spot.

"Teddiursa."

Teddiursa looked enviously at Snorlax's size after evolution, then glanced at its own petite body.

Teddiursa suddenly wanted to evolve too~

After Snorlax fell asleep, it quickly became a playground for the little Pokémon.

For example, Eevee and the others jumped onto Snorlax's belly.

Snorlax, after eating, was in a good mood.

It didn't mind the little Pokémon playing on its belly.

Snorlax even started snoring.

Click~

Someone took out a camera and captured the moment.

In the golden wheat field, Snorlax was peacefully asleep.

On its belly were playful children and Pokémon.

The scene was quiet, yet full of joy.

"Everyone."

Natsume smiled slightly at the sight, then called out to Sandslash and Scyther, "Let's call it a day here."

"Let's all go try the food at the festival street."

"Sandslash~"

Sandslash pondered.

Natsume quickly moved to Sandslash's side, "Come on, let's go."

"Let's grab something to eat."

Sandshrew and Drilbur, seeing Sandslash being pulled away by Natsume, immediately cheered.

They all ran towards the already fragrant Peach Blossom Avenue.

Scyther and Kabutops also made plans to compete again tomorrow, then rushed towards Peach Blossom Avenue.

Dusk had arrived, and the sunset hung on the horizon.

The roads of the farm, however, were growing brighter.

Colorful lights were strung above Peach Blossom Avenue, and the carts on either side of the road were lit up with lanterns shaped like various Pokémon.

"Noivern~"

From the mountain, the sound of Noivern echoed, and then a dark shadow quickly descended from the sky to Natsume's side.

"Good evening, Noivern."

"And Woobat."

"Noivern~"

Noivern flapped its wings.

"Rotom, Natsume, this is Ryosuke, a challenger who just earned a Regional-level badge today."

Rotom brought the traveling trainer to Natsume.

"Is there something you need?"

Ryosuke spoke up, "Gym Leader Natsume, although I've already earned the badge, I'd still like to have another battle with you."

"Of course."

"Do you want to battle now, or tomorrow?"

Ryosuke wiped his nose, "I was planning on today, but now, I think I'd rather enjoy the farm festival with my companions."

"Also, I'd like to camp on the empty plot of land where the hearty grains have been harvested. Would that be okay?"

Natsume looked at Ryosuke and the Gogoat by his side, smiling, "Of course."

"By the way, you can also let all your Pokémon out."

"Great, thank you for the hospitality."

Ryosuke then took out his Poké Balls, "Everyone, come on out."

Bang~

The Poké Balls opened with a pop, shooting out red beams.

Beside Ryosuke, four more Pokémon appeared.

Aside from Gogoat and Galvantula.

His Pokémon also included the Fire-type Darmanitan.

The Water and Fighting-type Poliwrath, the Flying and Normal-type Staraptor, and a Lickilicky that immediately licked Ryosuke's face as soon as it came out.

"That's a well-rounded team."

Natsume looked at the Pokémon by his side, "Did you plan to capture them?"

"Yes."

Ryosuke patted the Gogoat beside him, "When you're out in the wilderness, you inevitably encounter all sorts of situations."

"Gogoat keeps me company on the road, and with Galvantula around, I don't have to worry about my electronic devices running out of power."

"Darmanitan ensures I always have fire, and Poliwrath accompanies me into the water."

Ryosuke then looked at Lickilicky.

Lickilicky looked at Ryosuke expectantly and licked him again.

Ryosuke sighed, "This one wasn't originally part of my plan."

"But, unexpected things always happen."

Lickilicky seemed unsatisfied with this answer and licked him again. "Hey, stop that."

Ryosuke pushed Lickilicky away, "And now, it's become one of my indispensable companions."

Hearing this, Lickilicky happily pounced on him.

"You're heavy, get off!"

Natsume smiled at them, "I'll leave you to it then."

"Hope you have a great time."

Natsume then turned to Noivern and Sandslash, "Let's head over too."

"Let's see what delicious food is at the festival street."

"Noivern~"
