Chapter 133 The First Summer Rainstorm
Ark returned the letter to Cocodora.
It doesn't seem to be a love letter, but just a letter from a pen pal.
Fangzhou immediately showed a nostalgic expression, "Pen pal!"
In my past life, when I was a child, my school organized a similar activity where students from two schools that were far apart wrote letters to each other and established pen pal relationships.
He remembers contacting his pen pal many times, but after graduating from elementary school, they lost contact very little, and he doesn't know how she is now.
Knowing it wasn't a love letter, the blue cotton bird immediately lost its energy and flapped its wings away.
I'm so bored! I want to see a bloodbath, I want to see rivers of blood.
Coco Dora carefully tucked the letter into her bosom, a happy look on her face.
My best friend is moving in soon, I'll finally be able to see her!
Once we meet, I must take it for a walk around the estate and let it taste the estate's delicious crops, such as freshly picked watermelons.
Coco Dora slapped her forehead. Oh right, she almost forgot to reply to her good friend's letter.
It somehow picked up a pen and started writing and drawing on the paper.
"So that's why I couldn't find the pen. Turns out you took it," Fang Zhou said with a laugh.
Coco Dora chuckled awkwardly twice.
CocoDora spent quite a while writing the letter, in which she told her friends upstream that she was in this manor, praised the manor to the skies, and expressed her anticipation of meeting them.
Cocoa carefully pinned the letter to the kite, then took out a strawberry and pinned it to the kite as well.
After waiting for a while, when the southeast wind came, he ran off with the kite string in his mouth.
The tropical dragon finally understood; it was about to send a message by flying its kite right in front of it.
That's my kite! It wasn't just there to deliver a message to you!
Moreover, judging from the two lost kites, the CocoDora kite type is probably only responsible for launching but not for retrieving.
Can't stand it!
Tropical Dragon immediately tried to stop him, but Ark quickly stopped her, saying, "It's alright, I'll take you to town to buy kites another day, two of them, as compensation."
After much persuasion, the tropical dragon finally reluctantly agreed to let Cocodora fly her kite.
Fangzhou rubbed his temples, thinking that he should remember to buy a Gardevoir kite, which, if he wasn't mistaken, would be flown by this kid.
The kite broke after flying far away, leaving only a single kite string that fell helplessly to the ground.
Were they intercepted midway?
Fangzhou estimated it and found it to be quite far.
It's quite a coincidence that, being so far away, who knows what kind of accidents might happen in the river, like being knocked over by a fish or swept away by the current...
But it was precisely this little river that connected two Pokémon that seemed to have nothing in common.
All I can say is that fate is truly wondrous.
It will take some time before that unknown ethnic group moves over.
Fangzhou returned to the cabin and looked at the two elf eggs on the table.
One of them is a Salamenceon egg, a gift from the town mayor.
One of the eggs is an unknown Steel-type Pokémon, and it is the reward for winning the Contest.
The Salamence's egg floated up and down with the nutrient solution in the incubator, occasionally swaying left and right.
The little guy inside is very excited; it's estimated that it will hatch in the next few days.
As night fell, it suddenly started raining heavily outside.
Fangzhou walked outside with an umbrella. Nothing had changed in the manor; it was still sunny. Only the parsnip field was covered by a dark cloud, and a light drizzle was nourishing the land.
Outside, the rain was pouring down, but inside, all was peaceful and serene.
If an outsider saw this scene, they would probably think they had seen a ghost.
Summer rains are more intense than spring rains, and this first rain of summer has already demonstrated its power.
Large raindrops pelted down, splashing up a white mist on the eaves.
A huge curtain of rain hung between heaven and earth, blurring the distant mountains into bluish-gray silhouettes.
The wind whipped raindrops against the leaves, creating a constant crackling sound, and the entire mountain forest trembled in the rain.
Fangzhou returned to the house and turned on the TV.
Before dawn, the weather was already showing signs of this sudden downpour.
When interviewed by reporters, Mayor Lewis said that the townspeople had already made relevant preparations at the beginning of summer and would not be affected by floods.
Xishan and Dongshan had long ago commissioned a professional team to use Rock-type and Ground-type Pokémon to stabilize the energy of the mountains and ensure that no mudslides would occur.
The miners evacuated the mine as soon as it started raining.
The reporter concluded by providing an update on tomorrow's weather:
"According to meteorological experts, the rainstorm will not last long. Tomorrow will be sunny, and the temperature will drop due to the rain, temporarily relieving the heat of the past few days. It will actually be a good day for travel."
Fangzhou lay on the sofa watching TV, his left hand stroking the softest fur on the belly of the wind fairy in his arms, and his right hand stroking the soft, fluffy wings of the blue cotton bird, as he began to make plans in his mind.
After a summer rain, all sorts of treasures always appear on the mountain, such as mushrooms and wild fruits...
With the weather cool, it's the perfect time to take everyone hiking and collecting.
This is a good opportunity to level up my gathering skill. Ever since I acquired the gathering skill and went to West Mountain to pick heart-shaped mulberries, I haven't leveled up again and I'm still at level one.
As your level increases, the probability of finding good items also increases!
Before I knew it, it was bedtime, and as usual, I had a little something before bed!
Divination, begin!
A lottery ticket flew out of the box and landed in Fangzhou's hand.
Fangzhou's eyes lit up; it was an extremely auspicious sign.
That's great. The words on it are: May all your wishes come true and may everything go smoothly.
Fangzhou became even more determined: tomorrow, he would go exploring the mountains; he was sure he would find something good!
The next morning, Fangzhou got up early; getting up early had become a habit.
I checked the time; the hour hand had just passed six o'clock.
I couldn't help but complain to myself. Before running the manor, at least I lived a 996 life every day. After running the manor, I went to bed at midnight and got up at six in the morning every day.
In a while, it might be just like playing Stardew Valley – collapsing by the bedside at 2 AM and getting up at 6 AM to work, working year-round without a break.
Fangzhou shook his head, trying to banish these terrifying thoughts from his mind.
Stepping outside, the air was exceptionally fresh after the rain. Fangzhou stretched and shook the Pokémon awake one by one.
"Coco~" Coco Dora rubbed her sleepy eyes.
Oh, it's time to go down into the mine.
"Wait a minute, CocoDora, there's an event today!"
The later-joined Blue Cotton Bird Wind Fairy gathered around, looking at the Ark with curiosity.
What kind of event is it?
Is there another holiday?
"Today we're going up the mountain to gather some things!"
wow~
The Pokémon nearby gave a sympathetic gasp, and then, under Ark's command, began packing up.
Half an hour later, Ark arrived at the foot of East Mountain with a group of Pokémon.
The mountains and forests, washed clean by the torrential rain, looked brand new.
The soil exudes a fresh scent, and sunlight casts dappled patterns through the woods.
