Chapter 847 - 430: Fishing Tournament, vs. Fishing Celebrity!

With the Berry Garden, Treecko can safely settle in the World Tree.

But the Berry Garden also needs Pokemon to take care of it regularly...

Naoki thought about it carefully, then found Arboliva, who was hiding as a tree in the pasture, to assign this task to it.

Arboliva usually works with Gogoat to cultivate crops and has rich experience using Grass Energy to care for the garden.

Upon hearing Naoki needed help, Arboliva immediately agreed and went to the World Tree to start taking care of the Berry Garden there.

Along with it went the Tropius that Naoki had rescued earlier.

Thus, the World Tree welcomed its first batch of inhabitants.

After a brief introduction by Naoki, Arboliva, Tropius, and the three Treecko quickly became familiar with each other.

The Treecko spent half a day exploring this piece of woodland, only returning to the guild after they became familiar with the surrounding terrain and environment.

The Treecko are Grass Type Pokemon and can somewhat help take care of crops and trees.

Thus, they surrounded Arboliva, learning from it how to use Grass Energy to tend plants and helping Arboliva take care of the Berry Garden that could bear fruit.

Arboliva is a Pokemon with a loving heart, and it taught the Treecko earnestly since they were keen on learning.

Because, barring any accidents, from now on, this place would be where they live together.

Everyone should help each other, like the Pokemon partners in the pasture, collectively building a home for everyone.

Tropius went to the tranquil and beautiful lake next to the guild.

Occasionally, when passing by, one could see Tropius lowering its long neck to drink.

The lake is the only water source nearby, frequented not just by Tropius but also Arboliva and the Treecko for water.

When Tropius saw them, it would enthusiastically share the bananas growing on its neck.

The effect of the [Fried Banana] dish combined with Tropius’ Harvest ability meant the fruits quickly regrew after being given away.

Initially, the Treecko were not quite accustomed to Tropius’s enthusiastic sharing.

Because in their previous habitat, it was common for Treecko to help each other.

But it wasn’t common with other Pokemon.

Thus, the three Treecko awkwardly accepted the bananas from Tropius.

As a return gift, they offered the berries they found in the bushes.

Tropius happily accepted, lowering its head to gobble up the berries with its mouth.

Seeing that Tropius liked the gifts they gave, the Treecko also smiled happily.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the World Tree was so harmonious and friendly.

Even Keri was amazed by this scene.

"These Pokemon are so harmonious!" Keri couldn’t help saying.

Naoki smiled slightly: "Most Pokemon in the world are very kind-hearted. Not only do Pokemon help each other, but I’ve also seen wild Pokemon actively helping humans!"

For example, Zarude in the movie "Pokémon Coco" saved a human baby, Coco, from danger and adopted it.

Keri agreed: "It’s wonderful to have Pokemon like these in the world!"

Naoki nodded softly: "Yes, indeed!"

League Year 200, March 7th, Spring.

It’s the day of the Porto Marinada Town Spring Fishing Competition.

Naoki had received Mayor Thomas’s invitation two days ago, and after finishing his work on the farm, he prepared to ride Koraidon to Casseroya Lake to participate in the fishing competition.

At 7:30 in the morning, Keri’s construction team arrived at the ranch.

Seeing Naoki and Koraidon, Keri paused, then asked, "Are you going to the fishing competition?"

"Yes!" Naoki smiled and nodded: "I missed it the past two years. Now that I have time today, I plan to go and have a look."

"Then I wish you good luck!"

With that, Keri unloaded the prepared Carrot House from the truck.

"The Carrot House you asked me to custom-make two days ago is ready. See if you’re satisfied?"

Naoki turned his head and saw two Machamp carrying an enormous carrot approaching him.

That carrot was the giant crop he had sent to Keri’s workshop for processing. After being handled, it looked completely different.

The giant carrot was cut in half, with a special material base at the bottom. The carrot had a small door and two windows on top, looking just like the carrot house out of a fairy tale where a bunny lived.

Naoki really liked it and called over the Eevees to ask what they thought of it.

But before Naoki could speak, he realized something was wrong.

After evolving, the Eevees had grown in size, and the current Carrot House couldn’t accommodate them anymore.

At most, it could only fit two or three...

At this moment, a group of Eevees crowded at the door of the Carrot House, with the leading partner Eevee squeezing in and crouching inside.

Flareon and Jolteon followed closely, and with a Sylveon added, the Carrot House was completely packed.
