Fu Province has many mountains and forests. If one were to look down from high above, one would find a landscape of verdant green and yellowish-gray—either forests or mountains. Kaito's farm was near the sea, roughly a circle centered around the villa, expanding outwards. The land he owned included the flat ground where the villa and farmland were located, as well as the beach behind and a portion of the sea.
Ahead was a forest. To be precise, a part of this forest also belonged to him.
In the forest, tree shadows dappled. Sunlight was blocked by layers of tree canopies, and not much actually reached the forest floor, forming picturesque patches of light and shadow. Occasionally, a few Rattata would poke their heads out of their holes, looking at Kaito as he passed by, showing curiosity.
Kaito chose not to ride Arcanine but instead strolled leisurely through the forest. Firstly, the forest was dense, not suitable for the larger-bodied Arcanine to move around. Secondly, he also enjoyed this feeling more. Walking through the forest with Gardevoir (Shana), his feet crunching on fallen leaves, making faint rustling sounds. He also observed Caterpie eating fresh leaves on the trees and Paras picking mushrooms under the trees—all of this felt novel.

"Ziba~" Bellsprout swayed its slender body, extending a small branch towards Kaito. It liked Kaito very much.
Kaito smiled and said, "It's a Bellsprout." He reached out and touched the Pokémon. Bellsprout's yellow head was like a bell. It likes places with high temperatures and certain humidity, extending its feet deep underground to replenish water.
"Do you want to come with me?"
"Ziba~" Bellsprout nodded, and then Kaito recalled it into a Poké Ball.
Gradually, he went deeper into the forest.
Suddenly, a distinct sound came from ahead, as if someone was chopping wood, or like firecrackers. Kaito and Gardevoir ventured forward, and the first thing that caught their eyes was a relatively large beehive. A faint sweet scent permeated the air, making one's mouth water instinctively.
However, intense fighting ruined this beauty. Dozens of Combee flew in the air, besieging two stout Ursaring. Behind the Combee, a larger Vespiquen floated. The Ursaring were fighting the Combee Swarm to snatch honey!
"Roar!" An Ursaring suddenly swung its paw, as big as a washbasin, creating a fierce gust of wind that swept several Combee aside.
It seemed that the Combee were numerous, and just a swarm of them could overwhelm the two Ursaring. In fact, the strength gap between the two sides was too great; the Combee's attacks were ineffective. Combee were generally of Good-tier, with a few being Superior-tier, but both Ursaring were Elite-tier.
Ursaring's profile: Name: Ursaring, Nickname: None, Ability: Guts, Type: Normal-type, Level: Lv. 42, Individual Values: HP (24), Attack (31), Defense (23), Special Attack (23), Special Defense (22), Speed (28), Skills: Scary Face, Slash, Fury Swipes, Stomping Tantrum..., Egg Moves: Belly Drum, Potential: Elite-tier.
Seeing the Combee Swarm retreating steadily, their decline evident under the attacks of the two large Ursaring, Kaito casually threw out a Poké Ball, and Machamp (Lili) appeared from it.
"Niiii-keh!" Machamp roared fiercely at the bee swarm and the Ursaring, its Gym Leader-tier aura fully displayed, shaking the air in waves. The aura of a near-Elite was something the Combee Swarm, and even the Ursaring, could not resist.
Under this intimidating aura, both Ursaring stopped fighting simultaneously, standing still, worried that Machamp would attack them. They couldn't withstand a single blow from Machamp!
Buzz buzz— The Combee Swarm took this opportunity to return to Vespiquen's side. Vespiquen flapped the pair of insect wings on her back and floated over to Kaito. She could tell that Kaito was here to help cease the conflict.
Kaito used Viridian Power to communicate with Vespiquen and Ursaring. The situation was pretty much as he had expected. The Combee Swarm, led by Vespiquen, had been living peacefully in this forest. But these two Ursaring, who came from who-knows-where, wanted to take their honey to sate their hunger. That's why the fight broke out.
Kaito paused for a moment and asked Ursaring: "Where are you from?"
"Roar." It turned out that these two Ursaring were a mated pair, originally living in the deeper parts of the great mountain. However, there had been frequent disturbances in the great mountain recently, and for stability, they wanted to live in the outer regions for a period.
Kaito understood. This explained the appearance of Elite-tier Pokémon in the outer regions.
"So that's it…" Kaito said gently. "I have a suggestion."
A rich Viridian Power surged from him, making the Pokémon feel as if bathed in a spring breeze, utterly enchanted. "I have a farm near the edge of the forest, and you would be absolutely safe there. And there will be many benefits; the life energy there is even richer than in the forest. Why don't you come and live on my farm?"
Vespiquen and Ursaring exchanged glances. Then, they nodded in unison. Kaito's strong Viridian Power made their internal resistance almost zero. (The powerful Machamp was also one of the reasons for their quick decision).
Kaito has successfully recruited a Combee Swarm, Vespiquen, and a mated pair of Ursaring to his farm! His Viridian Power is proving to be his most potent recruiting tool.
