I'm in Pokémon, but the system is Stardew Valley.

Fang Gu had no choice but to go around to the front of the house and knock on the door, already prepared to apologize to Bulbasaur and the three bees.

"Boom boom boom!"

The moment Fang Gu knocked on the door, he heard an old woman's voice coming from inside the house.

A short while later, a kind-faced, benevolent old lady opened the door.

"Excuse me, I'm Fang Gu from Stardew Valley Ranch. Have you seen two Pokémon? One is a Triceratops and the other is a Bulbasaur. These two naughty creatures disappeared without me noticing."

As Martha looked at Fang Gu's face, it slowly overlapped with the figure in her memory.

Stardew Valley Ranch...

…………

In Mrs. Martha's garden.

Mrs. Martha set up a small table and served Fang Gu some milk and homemade cookies.

"The weather is really nice today."

"Just say a few words, but don't be too harsh on Pokémon."

"It was like the gentle sunshine," said Mrs. Martha.

Fang Gu, who was criticizing Bulbasaur and the three bees, smiled sheepishly.

"Perhaps the flowers in the garden were so vibrant that their fragrance attracted the three bees."

Fang Gu pressed down on Bulbasaur's head, "Bulbasaur happens to really like flowers too."

"Dana."

Bulbasaur's voice was low and pitiful as it apologized to Grandma Martha.

"It's alright, it's alright." Grandma Martha took out a small cookie and handed it to Bulbasaur. "Those who like flowers won't have bad kids."

Bulbasaur took the small biscuit from its vine, then snapped it in two, eating one and feeding the other to the three bees.

"Bulbasaur, it really takes good care of the three bees." Martha smiled gently.

"Dah!"

Bulbasaur puffed out her chest, thinking that as the big sister of Stardew Valley Ranch, it was only natural for her to take care of the other Pokémon!

"Buzz!"

Three bees surrounded Bulbasaur, their faces beaming with smiles.

"Martha!"

Joe's voice came from inside again. Martha gave Fang Gu an apologetic smile, "Please wait a moment."

Fang Gu took a small sip of milk, and a short while later, Martha came out again.

“My husband Joe can’t reach the food on the top shelf of the refrigerator again,” Martha said, pursing her lips.

Fang Gu had just seen the homeowner, Qiao, in the living room. He was sitting in a wheelchair, and his beret almost completely covered his face, making him look extremely dejected.

If Martha is like gentle sunshine, then Joe is like a sky swallowed by dark clouds, dim and lifeless.

"Hey."

"Actually, Joe used to be a very cheerful person, but ever since he injured his leg..."

Martha sighed and told Fang Gu about Joe's past in detail.

Joe was a professional painter, especially skilled at sketching Pokémon. However, three years ago, he suffered an accident while sketching. His leg was crushed by a rock and suffered a comminuted fracture. After two years of recovery, doctors say that Joe's bones have fully healed, but he is still unable to walk.

There was only one reason: Joe lost confidence in his ability to walk, and he began to wallow in self-pity, locking himself in his room all day.

Fortunately, Masa has always been there for me through thick and thin.

"Honestly, I really hope to see Joe walk again and take me out to sketch together."

At this point, Martha's tears were about to fall.

“Recently, I heard about a folk remedy that might be useful for Joe.”

"We need fresh Moo Moo milk, but Joe can't leave Crescent Moon Town in his current condition."

"If your ranch ever has any fresh Moo Moo milk in the future, could you save some for Joe?" Martha's eyes were red.

Martha said the fresh Moo Moo milk was taken from the large milk tank and was no more than 12 hours old.

Although there are no large milk tanks on Fang Gu's ranch yet, he firmly believes that there will be in the near future.

Fang Gu readily agreed.

"Thank you, Fang Gu. Your kindness is just like your grandfather's."

Martha wiped away her tears with a tissue.

Fang Gu was surprised that Martha knew his grandfather. However, judging from their ages, if his grandfather hadn't become a star in the sky, he would be about the same age as Mrs. Martha and Mr. Joe, so it was normal for them to know each other.

"Then you can wait for my news."

Fang Gu, carrying two pots of flowers that Martha had specially brought from the garden, walked towards his ranch with Bulbasaur and three bees.

Chapter 34 Beehives and Route 4

In Stardew Valley Ranch.

Fang Gu is building a honeycomb for three honeybees.

As a three-necked bee that has been driven out of its colony, it actually longs for companions and a comfortable living environment.

In the wild, it is the presence of the Queen Bee that unites the three bees, whose racial talents are lacking, to fight together against other Pokémon that are vying for their ecological niche.

The queen bee can also use pheromones to make three bees form a hive shape at night to watch over each other and provide a strong sense of security.

Currently, in terms of partners, the three bees have already recognized Bulbasaur and Fang Gu.

All that's missing is a good living environment.

This was also Fang Gu's first step in helping the three bees overcome their timid nature and develop a strong sense of belonging to Stardew Valley Ranch.

The first thing we did was build a hive for the three honeybees that could shelter them from the wind and rain.

Fang Gu took out his tools and worked on the wood. Then, he added the iron ore he had bought from Steve, and a small honeycomb was created.

[Beehouse: A wooden room suitable for three bees to live in, where the three bees can produce honey every two days.]

The beehive isn't very large; four wooden legs support the overall structure, and above the wooden legs is the main structure, which resembles a human dwelling. In the middle of the main structure is a large opening, allowing three bees to enter and exit freely.

"How is it? Do you like it? Three Bees!"

Fang Gu gathered up the tools around him and asked the three bees beside him.

"Buzz!"

The three bees all wore satisfied smiles as they flew around Fang Gu, as if thanking him for his efforts.

This wave is triple satisfaction!

However, Bulbasaur had a different opinion. While having its own little house was certainly nice, Bulbasaur said that the bed with Fang Gu was still warmer.

However, Bulbasaur forgot one thing: once it evolves into Venusaur, it can no longer sleep in the same bed with Fang Gu.

However, that day is not coming anytime soon.

In short, the three bees' hive was placed in front of Fang Gu's cabin, so that Fang Gu could see whether the three bees were in the hive as soon as he went out.

Then, Fang Gu led the three bees around Stardew Valley Ranch, introducing them to the current state of Stardew Valley Ranch.

"This is farmland. In a few days, many crops will grow, and then we can harvest vegetables together..."

"This is the chicken coop and the elf's house. Soon, new friends will be joining our ranch. When that happens, Three Bees, you'd better set a good example as a senior..."

In addition, we arrived at the last area.

This is the area where Fang Gu brought the three bees in with Bulbasaur's permission.

A secret garden in a corner of Stardew Valley.

"Da na da na!"

Bulbasaur, like a little adult, walked around explaining the history of the "Secret Garden" to the three bees, and the deep bond between himself and Fang Gu that it contained.

At this moment, the flowers in the Secret Garden have grown to the length of a forearm. With the help of Bulbasaur's "growth," these flowers will bloom all at once in five days at the latest.

The three bees' eyes sparkled. You see, nectar is their daily food, and this garden in front of them was practically a buffet!

Fang Gu clapped his hands as he transplanted the two potted flowers Mrs. Martha had given him into the garden.

"Next, let's go fishing by the small river to the south."

Fang Gu touched the Poké Ball at his waist, hoping he might be able to catch a Pokémon he liked, or at the very least, catch some fish to supplement his family's income.

…………

On the other side, Fang Xing had just left Miarei City and immediately headed to Route 4.

Route 4 connects Luna City and Ebony City. After being designed by a master, it forms a "perfect symmetry". Centered on the Pearl Fountain, it is surrounded by four special mazes. Rare items are placed in these mazes every day to attract trainers to pick them up.

If trainers see the same item at the same time, either one can start a battle to decide who gets the rare item.

"Then this poisoned needle is mine," Fang Xing said indifferently to roller skater Maya.

Poison Needle is an item that a Pokémon can hold. When a Pokémon holds a Pokémon, the power of each Poison-type move it uses will be increased. Some high-quality Poison Needles can also subtly increase a Pokémon's affinity for Poison-type moves, making it easier for the Pokémon to learn them.

"Next time, I won't lose!!"

Roller skater Maya dropped her pocket money, unleashed her "threat-dropping" skill, and skated off towards White Sandalwood City.

Fang Xing picked up the pocket money from the ground and patted it.

Recently, he has been challenging trainers along the way with his Froakie without any slack. The pocket money he earned through battles completely covered his daily expenses. When he went out, he didn't touch a single penny of the money Fang Gu had prepared for him, and even had a lot more left over.

Unfortunately, after learning online how precious Miltank is in Kalos, Fang Xing will probably have to fight nearly two thousand roadside trainers, and these roadside trainers can't be Bug Catchers or Shorts Boys, which have low coin drop rates.

Fang Xing finally decided to wait until he got to the vicinity of Route 12 to see if he could spot one.

Before that, let's prepare some other spirits for Brother Fanggu.

Fang Xing looked at the red and yellow flowerbeds on Route 4, where Pokémon were active.
