Pokémon Farm

Chapter 160 An Encounter at the Manor

"You should think carefully about what kind of Pokémon you want."

"Brother, I've already decided on this. It's a grass turtle; I've wanted one for a long time."

Xuan Mingtian's eyes widened in shock. This damned younger brother! They had a herd of Grasshopper Turtwigs at home, so why hadn't they gotten any Pokémon yet? This was a chilling question.

"Ouch, brother, why did you hit my head again?"

"You wanted a baby turtle, why didn't you say so when you were at home?"

Xuan Mingtian looked at him speechlessly, he really couldn't understand what his younger brother was thinking.

"Uh, brother, I just didn't think of it when I was at home."

At this moment, Xuanwu Ye was scratching his head and grinning foolishly. He looked exactly like a timid little wife who had made a mistake.

"Alright, alright, stop pretending. I'll have Little Cutie go back and get you a grass-sprout turtle egg later, but starting tomorrow, you'll not only have to exercise, but also learn how to farm."

"Oh, I still have to farm, but my goal is to become a trainer! How can I possibly be busy farming?"

Xuanwu Ye had some resistance to farming.

"Heh, I've said it before. As long as you can beat me, I won't stop you from becoming a trainer; I'll fully support you. If not, then you should just stick to farming."

For the Xuan family, becoming a registered trainer in the league is actually a piece of cake; given their resources, training a trainer is incredibly easy.

But don't forget, none of his family members care about the league. His grandfather's record is renowned throughout the regional leagues.

While Xuan's father was only temporarily unaware of his battle record, Xuan Mingtian himself had extorted money from the League's current gym leaders and Devon Corporation, which was backed by the League. This further solidified the fact that the Xuan family could not become registered trainers.

However, in order not to disappoint his younger brother, Xuan Mingtian used this method to temporarily dissuade him from becoming a trainer.

"But if I can never beat you, does that mean I can't become a trainer?"

"Of course, so you have to work hard."

These problems are not problems at all for Xuan Mingtian, because his younger brother has no chance of winning.

Xuanwu Ye then ran into the villa excitedly. At this moment, Xiao Gang asked in confusion, "Xiao Tian, ​​why didn't you tell him the truth? After all, your family joining the alliance is a very small matter."

“Xiao Gang, if I tell him directly, do you think he'll work this hard with his powerful connections? Mom once told me that she really wanted to join the League someday. Let him become a gym leader then. We can build another Grass-type gym in Random Town; we have the capability to do that.”

Upon hearing this, Xiao Gang simply nodded without saying a word. He knew perfectly well that Xuan Mingtian's family disliked the League. After all, he didn't like it either; if his father weren't the gym leader, he would have already criticized the League's actions.

"Alright, let's pack our things and get going."

At Xuan Mingtian's command, everyone left in an orderly fashion. Even Xiao Qingmei skipped and hopped towards the villa.

……

As time passed, around 10 o'clock, the group finally arrived at the manor. To their surprise, Professor Oak, Ranka, and Hanako were also there, which delighted Xuan Mingtian.

"Xiao Tian, ​​you're back! Isn't it Friday today? Don't you guys have school?"

Upon entering the manor villa, Jie Zilan uttered these words first. This caused all twelve members of the Earthly Branches to turn their heads in surprise.

"There weren't any important classes, so I felt it wasn't necessary to attend and just asked for leave. By the way, Grandma, did you finish your lectures at Yuhong University?"

"Yes, everything is already done, even my research with Professor Oak is finished. So I'll stay here for a few days and then I'll be done with my research."

Hearing what Grandma Jie Zilan said, Xuan Mingtian felt a sense of relief for some reason.

"Okay, then you should have a good time these few days, and then meet up with Ran after you get to Sinnoh."

"Of course, otherwise we wouldn't have come here."

Just as Xuan Mingtian was about to set off to train DouDou, Professor Oak called him back.

"Hey Tian, ​​I heard you went back to Sinnoh last weekend, right?"

"Professor Oak, you're too kind. Just tell me what's wrong, and I'll do my best to help if I can."

Seeing Professor Oak's hesitant expression, Xuan Mingtian chuckled inwardly.

"Here's the thing, you received the three divine pillars from the Snow Peak Temple. Could you let me examine them?"

"Yes, Xiaotian, why don't you show it to us? Although we know the legends and images of the Three Divine Pillars, we've never actually been up close to them."

This request wasn't really a big deal for Xuan Mingtian. However, he hadn't expected the alliance's message to travel so quickly.

It seems that the Alliance definitely went inside to investigate after he left the temple. But thinking about it more deeply, it makes sense; after all, the battle was so intense, they must have known about it.

“That’s no problem, but I only brought Little Stone. The rest are at home. If Professor Oak wants to test them, he’ll need to come to my house.”

"Little Stone? Them? Xiao Tian, ​​you didn't actually subdue them all, did you?"

At this moment, Professor Oak looked at Xuan Mingtian with an incredulous expression. Even a single bird could provide a top-tier family with a profound foundation, but what was this "they" that the other party was talking about?

"Aha, I won't hide it from you. I not only captured the three legendary Titans, but I also captured Regigigas, the King Titan. However, only Professor Oak can come and study it; I'm not familiar with the others."

As soon as he finished speaking, Professor Oak and Ran were so shocked that their mouths could fit a goose egg.

Why do I say this? Because when the Sinnoh Alliance members entered the Snow Peak Temple and witnessed that battle scene, they could only roughly guess that Xuan Mingtian had only subdued one Divine Pillar.

When the three legendary Pokémon transformed into their pillar forms, even the most advanced technology in the League couldn't detect whether they were Pokémon. Therefore, the only way to deduce that Xuan Mingtian had captured a legendary Pokémon was through battle traces and evidence of his departure.

When Xuan Mingtian revealed the real answer, how could anyone not be shocked?

He told Professor Oak directly, also hoping the latter would relay the message to the League. Even if the League could destroy the Xuan family in the past, it would only cause them significant damage. Now, they dared not provoke them.

"Little Tian, ​​is this really true? The Holy Pillar King and the Three Divine Pillars have been subdued? Impossible, absolutely impossible."

Professor Oak, gradually recovering from his shock, spoke tremulously. In his mind, how could such a powerful Pokémon stoop to the level of a mere child?

“Professor Oak, what Xiaotian said is true. I saw it with my own eyes, and even my father knows about it. But you understand.”
