29 Nature

Aster's next few weeks were filled with gaining knowledge about agriculture and how it varied from the wild.

Since proven articles have been written over the years about this topic, it is evident that human territory has less yield than in the wild. Although vegetation in the wild still retains the same patterns, it depends on the climate and the biome. But if it is in the wilderness, and some very fertile areas, a single berry tree in these situations would actually have a yield per season of 20 to 150 kgs.

Meanwhile, the same trees could yield from 9 kgs to 70 kgs per season in farms. Which didn't particularly add up. Since human civilization has been developing products and fertilizers to sum this point.

Well, there are many reasons for such a thing to happen, as the Pokemon world is a somewhat complex world with different kinds of supernatural powers within. Much like the type. Even if not noticeable people know that there are elemental particles everywhere, and within nature and the wild there is a sort of balance within, even if depending on the biome one element will be more prominent than the others.

Such happens in urban areas too. The more people there are the bigger the index of dark element particles. People theorized that it could be the cause for this massive differential in yield.

But farmlands are usually places with fewer people living around even if there is traffic, and this brings the speech to vehicles, planes, and boats. These exist and they are majorly used to transport large quantities of materials from one place to another. As the space bag isn't really enough.

To make transportation true, roads had to be made which connect to every farmland, this is important because these pavements are actually bad for the environment as a whole since it serves as a barrier for element particles.

Meaning that particles in a radius from the asphalt roads will scatter. Making roads easier to travel since near the roads pokemon are weaker unless you just get ambushed by a pack of famished Pokemon who happen to pass by.

But Arcadia was and is isolated from everything, as the region is majorly unexplored, and other regions happen to have little interest regarding this zone of the continent.

Aster stared intently at the sprouting tree with a thoughtful stare. The growth stage was the same as in other regions. So it just made no sense.

''What is causing this?'' He ruffled his hair as he then had an idea. Over this month of caring for trees, Aster too had opened his horizons to understanding the scattered elemental particles around.

For example, the Sitrus berry was actually absorbing Pink particles (Psychic-type) and after processing and feeding on it, then after it is done it will then radiate to the environment close to particles of the other elements. Albeit randomly.

This fascinated Aster as he closely registered how much it took and how much it gave back, surprisingly enough it gave back more than it absorbed.

Meaning that in large periods of cultivation, the area around would be oversaturated with particles of every other type, and it would have a deficit of the one it required. Meaning that in the wild, the wide variety of plants would build a natural cycle of particles, where each one would help the other and so balance the environment, increasing the probability of the area being invaded by pokemon too.

Brought to this train of thought Aster's eyes lit. ''Yes, that's it. I need to find a way to control these particles. If I can and my theory happens to be right then it'll be a great discovery. Especially since I will have greater yield.''

As such another month went by, with him trying his hardest to control the intangible. Contrary to Aura these particles were way less obedient, meaning that his progress had been very slow.

At least he had managed to have progress in types like Psychic, Rock, and Flying. Which were the types of respective seeds he had planted 2 months ago.

This progress had a reason, as he knew the destination of these particles, meaning that focusing and tracing them was easier bringing therefore more understanding to Aster as he slowly understood these types more.

But Aster was not dispirited, nor thought about giving up as this would serve as a reference for future Pokemon training.

Talking about training, today is the day that little Togepi began her training.

She was actually a little bigger than the regular Togepi, as had been predicted, and She was very capable when it came to type manipulation, mainly being proficient in Rock energy manipulation with all the treat training he had given her.

So as of now, Aster wanted his Togepi to familiarize herself with both physical activities, and to increase her mobility.

Today, he just made his Togepi run, coupled with some basic evasion training.

The evasion training was catastrophic as Togepi is a Pokemon with little mobility as it basically wobbled everywhere, very cute but not practical for battle.

But it is his job as her trainer to cover her weaknesses, even if this issue would be corrected in her next evolution.

Aster patted his exhausted Togepi who was clinging to him, after all the physical training.

But today too marked the day his second egg was going to hatch. It was faster than he expected but he had been informed by Alfred before.

As the egg aggressively shook, Aster and Togepi found themselves focused on it. After all, they had both been caring for the egg and this was a moment they did not expect to be happy at least in this month.

As the egg cracked, a little head came out. Tearing through the egg was a small quadruple Pokemon, it had a round body covered in dark blue skin. Its little eyes were closed and they gave it the vibe of being sleepy or just like someone with bad eyesight without glasses, its eyes appearing therefore as mere slits, its head was rather large in proportion to its body, having a short snout with a small pointed horn on top.

Aster stared at this little guy who was eating the eggshells not bothered by anyone as it seemed oblivious to them, Aster was shocked or rather speechless as this very Pokemon is something he had never thought would come to his hand so soon, coupled with the fact that this THE Emo blind dragon.

As it finished its first meal, the little guy began shifting its head to the sides, as if to figure out what to do then it gave a little cute cry. ~Deino Deino~

Then it stopped and seemed quite focused on something, proceeding to look in the direction of Aster and slowly wobble to him.

Aster who saw the little guy's action, smiled and extended his hand preparing to pat its head.

The little Deino shrank its head faced with the sudden contact of Aster's hand and well as a blind species, Deino has one way of satiating its curiosity.

Through biting. With that said, Deino who felt the contact pulled its head backward, then sniffed Aster's hand. It then opened its mouth wide and went for it.

''AHH!'' Aster yelped as he tried to pull his hand back. Marking his encounter with his second Pokemon and a troublesome one at that.

But Aster didn't want to blame the little newborn and decided to curse the one who gave him the egg instead in his head.

Meanwhile in the distance place was Alfred who rode a characteristic Dragon Pokemon.

The Dragon stopped in the middle of its tracks as it stared in the direction of the village. ~Hydreigon.~

''Oh? Did it hatch now? Good good. Ahahaha I hope he gets the same treatment you had given me.'' Alfred laughed as he thought about the time his Hydreigon had hatched.

But soon he stopped looking seriously at a temple that was a little distance away. ''Well, this is the last piece. Let's go Hydreigon.''

The three headed dragon roared and moved in an imposing manner.
