The morning sun bathed the farm in a warm glow as Kaito stood at the edge of the sprawling fields.
"Can you plant rice?" he asked.
"No," Arina replied, shaking her head.
"Cleffa~" Mime Jr. mirrored her perfectly, shaking its little head as well.
"Can you cook?"
"No."
"Cleffa~"
Kaito sighed. "Alright, then you're on floor-sweeping duty. You can learn from Cinccino."
"Sweeping?" Arina's mouth twitched. "Can I at least change jobs?"
"Since it's your first day, I gave you the easiest task. If you'd prefer, you can go harvest the Wanshu Wheat." Kaito pointed toward the fields, where Machamp, wearing a wide straw hat and a sunny smile, looked like a veteran farmer.
Arina looked at the wheat waves and then back at the broom. "I'll take the harvest. But I'm not working alone, right?"
"Of course not," Kaito said. Behind him, Gardevoir, Bunnelby, and Slowking lined up, ready for the great harvest.
The system notified:
Identity Mission: Conduct a Great Harvest.
Reward: Ten Mystery Berry Trees.
Mystery Berry: Long-term consumption increases the accuracy of moves.
Arina extended her hands, and a massive ice blade—resembling a guan dao—materialized, radiating a freezing chill.
"Wait!" Kaito shouted. "You can't use that! You'll freeze and ruin the grain. We use scythes here."
Arina flushed red, dispelling the blade with a sheepish laugh. She took a manual scythe from Slowking and set to work. Despite her initial clumsiness, the former Champion of White Bear Country was a quick learner.
Under the setting sun, the group successfully cleared the fields. The harvest was bounty: Wanshu Wheat, Gungun Beans, Sacred Mushrooms, and Swords Dance Mushrooms.
The system notified:
Task Completed: Conduct a Great Harvest.
Reward: Ten Mystery Berry Trees.
Mime Jr. discovered a Ground-type Gem during the harvest!
As Arina wiped the sweat from her brow, a Ribombee flew over, offering her a sweet Pollen Puff. Soon, a group of Comfey draped a woven flower wreath around her neck.
Arina looked at the gifts in her palm. This was the harmony she had always dreamed of—the very Ideal she fought for. On Kaito's farm, humans and Pokémon didn't just live together; they thrived as one family.
Dinner that night was a feast. Kaito, with Ono's help, prepared a spread that could make a King weep.
Arina took a bite of a specialty mushroom dish and nearly melted. "This is... incredible!" She realized that Kaito's level as a Breeder was easily on par with his status as a Master Researcher.
The food didn't just taste good; Arina felt the energy in her body surging. "I'll sweep the floors tomorrow!" she declared between mouthfuls. "Heck, I'll harvest rice all day if I get to eat like this!"
Zekrom, usually the stoic Dragon of Ideals, was currently stuffing its face, much to Reshiram's amusement.
If Kaito were a Pokémon, Zekrom thought, he would be the God of Cuisine. It was becoming increasingly clear why Reshiram had chosen him. He was the bridge between Truth and Ideal, bound by the strings of bonds and flavor.
Late that night, while the farm slept, Kaito returned to the Hisui Secret Realm. Riding Reshiram, he explored a rugged mountain range under the starlight.
On a rocky plateau, he spotted a group of Machoke and Machop lifting boulders as dumbbells. In the corner, a tiny Chimchar—noticeably smaller and frailer than its kin—struggled to lift even a small stone.
Chimchar's Profile:
Level: 5 (Newborn)
Potential: Champion-tier (Inhibited by congenital deficiency)
Status: Malnourished/Stunted.
The little monkey had a fierce determination in its eyes, even as the flame on its tail flickered weakly. When a group of aggressive Graveler began rolling down the mountain to attack the Machoke family, the Machoke leader shielded the frail Chimchar.
Chimchar clutched its small fists, tears of frustration in its eyes. If only I had the strength to fight...
Kaito watched from above, his Power of Life sensing the incredible, untapped potential buried beneath the little monkey's frailty.
Kaito has found a Chimchar with immense heart but a broken body! Will he use his Power of Life and Gourmet Power to heal the little fighter, or will he let the trials of the Hisui wilds forge it into a legend?
