Dusk was approaching. The farm presented a lively scene.
Bunnelby, with his hands behind his back, like an old man, inspected the fields he had diligently cultivated. His heart was filled with pride.
In the sheepfold, the shorn Mareep looked exceptionally energetic, like unwrapped blue and pink candies.
Within Kaito's land, the farmland and livestock pens were on the right side. The left side, which was almost unused before, now had an additional beehive. Considering the residence of the Combee Swarm, Kaito directly moved their original beehive here for the Combee Swarm to live in. They would continuously produce fresh honey from now on.
Combee are born in groups of three, but each one has a slightly different preference for nectar. They diligently carry sweet nectar from morning till night, and the flavor of the nectar varies depending on the group. Combee's daily life is actually very simple: only work and being robbed. Too many Pokémon would steal their labor's fruits. Sometimes they would be driven away by greedy Beautifly, and their stored nectar was often unceremoniously taken by Teddiursa or Mothim flying around in the dead of night.
So the Combee Swarm was very happy to be able to stay on Kaito's farm. The safety factor here was too high. Whether day or night, there were groups of Sentret and Poochyena patrolling, constantly vigilant. Not to mention the two Elite-tier Ursaring and the powerful Machamp as bodyguards.
That's right. These two Ursaring also became guards of the farm. With Elite-tier strength, they naturally weren't just eating and sleeping all day. They were now also Kaito's Pokémon, like the Sentret and Poochyena, responsible for protecting the farm.
Ursaring looks like a brown bear with a yellow circle on its abdomen. Although Ursaring is large, it is very good at climbing trees and will eat and sleep in them. So they are currently sleeping in the big trees next to the beehive. This also makes it convenient for them to protect the beehive. If any oblivious Pokémon snuck into the farm, wanting to steal honey from the beehive, then Ursaring would be the first to object.
Kaito led the dazed Psyduck on a patrol. Combee continuously flew out of the beehive, and the swarms of Combee added more vitality to the farm. On the other side were the two Ursaring taking a stroll, their burly figures exuding a strong sense of security at first glance.
Kaito nodded repeatedly. Pride also surged from his heart. Just as Bunnelby cultivated the land, the farm was his land. Under his unremitting efforts, the farm was gradually growing. From its original state of disrepair, with only a Krabby fish farm and one Miltank, to its current state with cultivated fields, bustling livestock pens, beehives, and the addition of Pokémon like Ursaring and groups of Sentret. His farm, unknowingly, had become much more prosperous than it was at the beginning. However, the fish farm still only had Krabby; he would need to find an opportunity to add more later.
"Still need to work harder~"
"Gah?" Psyduck held his head with both hands, tilted it, and showed a blank expression.
Buzz buzz— A Combee, seeing Kaito arrive, flew over with a smile, carrying a freshly produced lump of Sweet Honey.
Buzz buzz— Kaito laughed, "Is this for me? You worked hard."
He took the Sweet Honey. The Sweet Honey was crystal clear, golden throughout, like a large, exquisite Amber, emitting an astonishing gem-like luster. Although he didn't know much about honey, from its appearance, it was clear that its quality couldn't be low.
With a gentle sniff, a rich aroma of honey mixed with floral scents filled Kaito's nostrils. Kaito gently tore the Sweet Honey into two parts, giving one to Psyduck.
"Gah?" Psyduck blankly took it, then nodded.
Then, one person and one Pokémon simultaneously put the honey into their mouths. The amber-like honey melted into a sweet nectar as soon as it entered their mouths. The warm and delicious honey aroma filled their oral cavities, giving them the feeling of being in a flower field. This taste was truly irresistible. Kaito felt that he could understand why so many Pokémon loved to eat Sweet Honey.
"It's delicious, isn't it, Psyduck?"
"Gah." Psyduck pressed his two small stubby hands to his cheeks, revealing an intoxicated expression, also very fond of the Sweet Honey.
Night fell. A fire was lit in the yard. Barbecue was most fitting for a summer evening.
Kaito had a barbecue grill in front of him, with a wide variety of items on the rack. There were Unfezant's eggs, Slowpoke's tails, Krabby's claws... Under continuous grilling, the overflowing fat emitted a rich aroma, and the meat turned golden, undergoing the Maillard reaction.
"Awoo." Bagon looked at the dazzling array of food on the grill, couldn't help but drool, with saliva clearly visible at the corners of his mouth.
"Bui~" Eevee, who was a clean freak, took half a step back at the sight, worried that Bagon's drool would get on it.
Everyone gathered in the yard, either waiting for dinner, such as Bagon and Eevee... or helping to prepare dinner, such as Machamp and Gardevoir... Kaito looked up, scanning around.
Looking at each Pokémon with a smile on its face, Kaito felt an unspeakable sense of happiness. This scene of being surrounded by Pokémon was something he had only dared to fantasize about in dreams or achieve in games before. Today, it had come true.
He let out a hearty laugh. Kaito continued to prepare dinner. Tonight, he was not only making barbecue but also special desserts.
Before long, dinner was freshly prepared with Gourmet Power. In addition to the highly anticipated barbecue combination, there were also cups of fruit ice tarts exuding a cold aura.
The farm is booming with new life, and Kaito's Gourmet Power promises an exceptional dinner! What unique effects will his latest culinary creation have on his growing Pokémon family?
