Not Being a Trainer This Time

Chapter 702

The scorching sunlight spread across the pasture, with a wave of summer heat lingering in the air.

Naoki stood beside Glastrier's stable, cooling off, and his gaze was fixed on Farfetch'd, weaving back and forth between the wooden dummy stakes.

Farfetch'd focused intently, holding the stalk of a scallion in its right hand, its eyes slightly narrowed.

Sheathing the Sword, Iaijutsu, Iaido, Dragon Ascending...

The next second, its silhouette turned into a white light and dashed out swiftly.

"Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!"

Several rapid strikes sounded one after another. Under Farfetch'd's superb Scallion Technique, a few already dilapidated dummies were sliced in half.

The white light faded, and Farfetch'd appeared with its back to the dummies, sheathing its sword, exuding the demeanor of a true swordsman in its every move.

"Clap, clap, clap, clap!"

Witnessing the entire process, Naoki couldn't help but applaud: "It seems your sword skills are getting more and more advanced!"

Could it be that in the process of forgetting and relearning, Farfetch'd had gained deeper insights and understanding of its original moves?

Naoki suddenly felt a sense of "so it can be like this?"

Farfetch'd turned its head and nodded slightly, "Quack!"

It looked down at the scallion in its hand with a troubled expression on its face.

Long-term practice had worn down this weapon it was so proud of. Now, it seemed that this scallion was not quite fitting anymore.

Naoki noticed Farfetch'd's troubled look and curiously raised an eyebrow: "Is there something wrong with the scallion?"

As everyone knows, the scallion is a very important weapon for Farfetch'd.

If they don't have a scallion, they won't be able to survive in the wild.

So when faced with Pokémon trying to snatch their scallions, Farfetch'd will fight them desperately until they knock them out.

However, some scholars have indicated that the quality of the scallions different Farfetch'd hold seems to vary.

Good scallions can be used for a long time, while bad scallions will break after only a short period.

For this reason, wild Farfetch'd often fight each other to compete for good scallions.

Hearing Naoki's words, Farfetch'd waved the scallion in its hand, "Quack."

Naoki quickly saw the problem.

That scallion was not quite fitting for the current Farfetch'd.

He looked at Farfetch'd; compared to when it first came to the farm, the Farfetch'd had undergone a significant transformation.

The combination of nutritious food and continuous training had made Farfetch'd's physique stronger and its stature bigger.

This made the scallion that was once suitable now seem a bit small, like an adult holding a child's toy.

In such a situation, what would Farfetch'd do?

The answer soon became apparent.

After lunch, Farfetch'd found him, seemingly wanting to say something.

Naoki ate a piece of Translation Nuts Cake and heard Farfetch'd say goodbye seriously:

"Quack!" (Naoki, I'm leaving!)

Naoki was slightly taken aback, then thought of a possibility.

Sure enough, Farfetch'd's next words confirmed his guess.

Farfetch'd: "Quack!" (This scallion doesn't suit me anymore; I need to go outside to find a fitting scallion. Thank you for your help during this time!)

Naoki curiously asked, "Don't you want to learn those powerful sword skills?"

Farfetch'd shook its head, sincerely said: "Quack." (I have tried many times but never succeeded; maybe that kind of power doesn't belong to me.)

"Quack." (However, I've gained a lot during this time. The original techniques, I've mastered them to perfection, and their power has increased.)

"I see..." These changes were indeed within Naoki's expectations.

He looked at Farfetch'd, who was about to say goodbye, and suddenly felt a bit reluctant.

Because the personality of this Farfetch'd really suited his taste.

After some thought, Naoki asked, "Where do you plan to search for a scallion?"

As far as he knew, there were no Farfetch'd Pokémon in Paldea, and he wasn't sure if such stalks existed in this land.

Farfetch'd: "Quack." (I'll go out and look; I'll find one sooner or later.)

Searching for scallions is a skill every Farfetch'd is born with.

Naoki nodded.

Speaking of scallions, he remembered that Porto Marinada Town had scallion seeds for sale...

If he helped Farfetch'd plant scallions, would Farfetch'd stay?

Thinking of this, Naoki asked, "How about this: I'll build a Scallion Garden on the farm, fill it with scallions, and let you choose a fitting weapon. That way, you won't have to leave the farm."

Farfetch'd was taken aback: "Quack?"

Can it really be like this?

Naoki nodded affirmatively: "Of course, maybe I can even cultivate a better variety of scallion, with superior durability and power."

Hearing this, Farfetch'd was somewhat tempted.

But it was also puzzled as to why Naoki was helping it so much and treating it so well?

"Quack?" Farfetch'd asked, confused.

Understanding its meaning, Naoki smiled and replied:

"Of course, it's because I want you to stay at the farm and live with us. I thought if I help you grow scallions, you wouldn't have to go into the forest to find them."

Hearing these words, Farfetch'd couldn't help but feel moved.

Previously, it was just a wild Farfetch'd with no friends in the wild, practicing swordsmanship under a waterfall all day long.
