"I-I...Surprise?" The silver haired girl said awkwardly.
The two was stuck looking at each other for a long while, before Zeke who was actually thinking who could be this girl that managed to enter his farm space, asked.
"Siesta?"
The silver haired girl, after hearing Zekes question nodded and replied
"Yeah, its me.."
"But, how?" Zeke questioned.
Siesta sighed before sitting down on the sofa behind and beckoned Zeke to do the same, which he complied and sat on the other sofa besides the one Siesta was using.
Seeing that Zeke is all sat down, Siesta began her explanation.
"Where should I start?...I guess at the beginning, so..I was actually here ever since you hatched your starter Pokemon because thats how its supposed to be, I appeared behind your back when you hatched Ditto
But!! Dont get me wrong! the only reason I didn't show myself to you at that time is because I was still in my night wear!! I was sleeping before I got transported dang it!"
At this moment, Siesta stopped to take a few breath before she looked at Zeke who was smiling at her wryly before she continues.
"So! I was actually there, and when I saw you were gonna turn around, I hurriedly ran towards the door that leads to the second floor and just observed you as you interacted with your starter,
because thats what everyone of us are told to, since if i find that you aren't fit for me, then I can go back, and your system will not get any A.I.
Still! it will work properly as is! you just had to find out how the system works yourself if you dont have an A.I.
So, you know...I just hid on the second room in the second floor and observed you using the system, that went on untill Grandpa decided to reveal me, which means that I need to reveal myself in here too, because I'll get punished if I wont, Its a standard procedure we have.
and now here we are"
Meanwhile Zeke had a pokerface as he listened to Siesta's explanation and after she finished, he asked.
"So...let me get this straight, you were observing me always since I hatched Ditto?"
"Mhm.." Siesta answered without thinking all it through.
"Thats...Creepy? Like, even when I take a bath, you were watching?" Zeke asked, looking at her in a "judging" face.
Zeke's words felt like an arrow that shot through Siesta's head, 'making her spat out blood'
"No-I, I swear I dont!. I always turn off the stream everytime you take a bath, and-and also! I needed to observed you or else my mother will punish me more for breaking protocol!!"
"I see... alright I'll believe you, just promise me you wont watch me when when I enter my bedroom and bathroom, other than that then its all good" After saying those words, Zeke walked towards his room, leaving Siesta stunned with his nonchalant attitude.
Meanwhile, after Zeke entered his room, he let out Ditto from his PokeBall, before stripping himself of his clothes.
Afterwards, he carried Ditto towards the bathroom where they both took a Cold shower.
Ditto of course didn't mind as he's already back to normal, from his previous feline form.
15 Minutes later...
The two went out to the living room with wet hair, while Zeke has a different set of clothes.
The two saw Siesta sitting in the Sofa, with a blue screen hovering in front of her, smiling as she watched the show playing on the screen.
Zeke, was not really surprised that she could watch movies or shows in that thing, but Ditto on the other hand, was really surprised seeing a stranger in their house.
"Di~to?" He sounded while pointing towards Siesta.
And Zeke seeing this, instantly realized what he was trying to convey and said.
"Ditto, meet Siesta! she's a new friend, that will help is a lot!"
"to~?" Ditto voiced.
"Mhm! shes gonna stay inside for a long time! so be good to our new tenant!"
"Dii~tto~!" Ditto said happily, happy that hes gonna have a new friend that he can play with.
Meanwhile because of their not so quiet voices, Siesta finally noticed them and when she saw Zeke introducing her to Ditto Siesta could not help but smile after seeing Ditto's happy face, so after they were done,
she joined in on their conversation.
"Hello Ditto~ it's very nice meeting you~" She greeted, waving her hands as she did so.
And Ditto after hearing her greetings, happily walked towards Siesta, wishing to play with her.
Zeke just smiled at the scene before walking out the building and doing his daily routine of exercising and harvesting the berries, afterall he's planning on opening his shop soon.
Plus! those 5K S.P will help him as a start-up capital! So today, he plans to harvest those berries as best as he can!
Zeke pumped himself up before starting his daily exercise and upon completing it an hour later, he netted himself a hundred system points, bringing his points back to a total of 1000 S.P!
Zeke huffed proudly after seeing his points back up to 900+ again and muttered.
"Soon! after I complete the harvesting quest, I'll have 5k S.P more!! Offsetting the 250 I spent with both egg and the incubator, as well as the 50 used to sped up the hatching!"
{'Still, those points we're well spent, since I bagged the who family's support!"} Zeke thought while he rested, as his abrupt decision on spending points to speed up the hatching process was truly a good idea.
A few minutes later, Zeke was done resting and was planning on continuing his harvesting quest, but before that he needed to eat breakfast outside with his family so he climbed back to the second floor where he saw Ditto and Siesta watching a show using the system window once again.
He greeted them before he entered his room and later his bathroom to take a quick shower before he got out and asked Ditto, a
if he wanted to come with him, and Siesta if she would like to eat as well.
Both refused, with Siesta saying that she could not get out of this place, and that she doesn't actually get hungry and would only eat for the taste of it.
Ditto, similarly turned him down, as he wasnt finished watching the show with Siesta.
Zeke was happy the two were getting along, and asked Siesta to feed Ditto with some berries from the kitchen if he ever gets hungry, before afterwards teleporting outside where only a few minutes has passed at most, opposed to the hours that passed inside the farm.
Zeke afterwards went down to the living room, where he met with the rest of his family+Shinx who is currently running around chasing after Arisu as they played Tag.
Zeke smiled seeing this wholesome scene, and thought {"This is it, I might not be the real Zeke of this world, but I promise I'll cherish each and everyone of my family and make them happy."}
Suddenly Zeke was awoken out of his thoughts as one of his uncle, which is none other than Arisu's dad, his uncle Hirohito.
"Arisu, looks pretty happy with shinx, so I'm planning on buying a Pokemon for her as well" Hirohito uttered, as he looks at her daughter,
smiling gently at her especially so after Arisu looked towards the two and waved at them, before she continues running, but chasing after Shinx this time around.
Zeke rolled his eyes at his uncle, totally knowing what his uncle was thinking and said "Alright, I'll ask the shop Keeper"
not long after, all of them was called by Tokie towards the dinertable as it was time to eat, so all of them complied.
Throughout the whole breakfast, all, except for Arisu was talking about plans to support the "Shop Keeper" which extended their meal for while.
All of them decided to buy at least a pokemon or two for each and everyone of them and raise them untill they are sufficiently strong before they will publicly acknowledge their support for the shop and the Pokemon, as the world aren't really all that sunshine and rainbows, especially in the government and the various huge companies.
So for now, the only support the family can provide is through finding allies.
And after they had finish their talks about the plans each got into work and split up to prepare, except for the three cousins.
Arisu, got back to playing eith shinx, Ryuuko got back to learning how to raise pokemon from the book which Zeke gave, saying its from the Shop Keeper and Zeke got back to his farm to continue the harvest, planning to stay as long as possible on the farm.
Zeke first of all checked the quest status as he got ready.
________________________________________________________________________________________
Objective: Harvest the current berry trees around the farm..
Oran Trees:0/15
Leppa Trees:0/15
Nanab Trees:0/10
Rawst Bushes:10/10(complete)
________________________________________________________________________________________
"Alright! lets start the harvesting marathon!" Zeke enthusiastically said, before he started harvesting.
The first tree that Zeke decided to harvest is the Nanab tree as they are the least time consuming of the bunch, He just had to collect each Hands which is easy enough before he took down half of the tree to let it regrow and left the half there as it automatically turns them into fertilizer.
One thing interesting about the Berries is that they Yield lower than their normal counterparts, A nanab berry tree gives only 5-6 Hands per tree and in those hands only 4-5 fingers or banana's are in it, as opposed to the normal Banana trees who yield 9-12 hands each stem and each hands has 14-20 fingers.
so it didn't take that long for Zeke to harvest them all, especially since he has harvested a few of the hands before for the party.
so it took only half a day for Zeke to harvest all the Nanab Trees, using the tools he brought from the shop.
The rest of the first day was spent playing with Ditto and planning with Siesta for the ground opening of the Shop.
The next day, Zeke decided to harvest the Leppa berries which, despite having fewer fruits than their normal counterparts, Still took a while at first, so Zeke asked Siesta and Ditto for help and Siesta revealed a hidden function of the Inventory, which was that you can partially insert something in the inventory and you can choose what to store.
A total game changer for Zeke who still needs to harvest at least 20+ trees, of course he asked why Siesta didn't tell him sooner of which, she answers with that it should have been included in the information packet that he was given, and that she thought that Zeke just liked doing it manually .
Zeke was speechless, as he checked the memory packet once again and found nothing, and they came into the conclusion that the A.I that gave the packet before forgot or didn't bother adding that at all.
So Zeke just forgot about that Issue and focused on harvesting which didn't take long.
Zeke just had to put the upper part of the tree where the berries grows before selecting them to harvest and then removing the Inventory from the upper tree.
so, what would have been a few weeks work was reduced to merely 3-5 days at most, and thats System time, so only two days passed by outside the Farm.

____________________________________________________________________________________________
"Congratulations, for completing your first harvesting quest! and as you've read the rewards have been sent to your inventory"
Siesta congratulated before asking
"Do you want to know what Berry seed you got?, to know what the Wailmers Watering Can do? or do you want the Bees to spawn first?"
"Thank you, and I'll check the seed and the watering can later, for now, lets make the farm a little bit lively shall we?" Zeke replied before opening his inventory, smiling for a bit when he saw the S.P balance before taking out the ticket that will spawn the bees.
and after taking a one deep breath, Zeke ripped the ticket off, which released a blue wave that spread all around his space.
________________________________________________________________________________________
Congratulations!
Bee's will now appear in the farm to help the Berries and plants grow better!
Do bear in mind that these are not your average bee's as they have been exposed to typing energy, they have mutated into what you call a pseudo Pokemon.
Which are animals thats on their path into evolving into Pokemon!
Pseudo Pokemon, can breed with normal Pokemon and their offspring will naturally become normal pokemon!
For more information, ask your Assistant.
________________________________________________________________________________________
After reading the system prompt, Zeke looked towards Siesta who instantly understood why as she started to explain about the pseudo Pokemon, and the bees.
It lasted for a while and after the explanation is done, Zeke happily got out of the farm along with Ditto who at this time transformed into a hedgehog once again.
The two appeard back in Zekes room, and afterwards went towards the living room where he saw his Grandparents and Aunts/Uncles discussing some things.
"Great news! The owner said that hes Opening soon! he just need to test some things and then he said he would inform me when we can come!" Zeke announced as he walked towards them, before sitting down in a Vacant sofa and putting down Ditto in his lap.
Zeke then coughs before saying "Once again, the owner said that hes gonna test the waters before he will inform me when you guys can enter the shop,
also I talked to him about uncle Hirohito's request and agreed after we raise whatever will hatch from the egg that you will randomly get when you guys buy them, and raise them till at least they evolve once.
so good for Arisu, the owner promised a good potential Pokemon for her."
Zeke then looked around, not finding Arisu as well as Ryuuko and asked "Speaking of Arisu, where is she? Ryuuko as well, I dont see them."
"Ryuuko and Arisu-"
.....
The rest of the day passed by pretty much without anything happening as Zeke just had a very pleasant conversation with his family, as well as texting his friend Fuutaro and Ren.
And once night came, after eating Dinner with his family he let them know hes going back to his condo, his family didn't mind it as they will be meeting frequently after all,
His family of course offered to have a chauffeur drive him back but he refused, saying he prefers commuting back with Ditto.
So after saying their temporary good-bye, Zeke and Ditto headed out, riding the public bus once more and getting off in the bus stop in front of the convenience store.
This time, he did not meet anyone from the Nakano sisters even after reaching the top-most floor of the Octagon Building.
There, Zeke admired the night view for a minute before entering his home.
"Im home! "He greeted, even though he knows nobody would answer, before he proceeded to take out Ditto from his PokeBall and Entering the farm.
In there awaits Siesta who greeted him, zeke thanked her before he sat in the sofa where he and Siesta talked about their plans for the grand opening tommorow one more time, and after the two was done, Zeke excused himself and went out the farm, leaving Ditto with Siests to accompany her.
Once outside, Zeke picked up the guitar that he and his father used before going outside towards his mini Yard before sitting in one of the chair.
There, in the cold of the night, Zeke started to strum the string of his guitar before singing one of the songs he and his parents used to sing together...
(End of Volume 1)
____________________________________________________________________________________________
A/N:Huhu, volume 1 finally ended, the volume with the most info dump, tho maybe info dump will still happen some chapters afterwards but I'll try and make it bearable as much as possible.
I tried World building as much as I can for the volume one before I truly focus on the selling part, so I apologize if the fanfic had been a bit boring so far, but I'll try my best to make it as entertaining as possible from today onwards!
so hopefully you guys will stay tuned! Comment, give some reviews and don't forget to throw in some stones!!
That's all!! CIAO!!
