Natsume walked into his new house.
He sat down on the sofa in the living room.
"Next, it's time to prepare for shipping."
There are many channels for selling Pokémon crops, and the simplest option is to sell to the country.
Additionally, many companies that produce Pokémon food are willing to buy directly.
Natsume looked at the Rotom beside him and asked, "Rotom, can you help me filter which companies are offering high prices for Hearty Grains?"
"And also, help me contact someone to sell those Rattata."
Rotom immediately replied, "Sure thing~ Rotom~"
Using the internet, Rotom quickly found a company for Natsume: Snorlax Food Company.
"Rotom, is this one good to sell?"
The company's logo featured a well-fed Snorlax, looking very charming.
Natsume nodded: "Let's ask about the price."
Snorlax Food Company Purchasing Department.
Sakura was an employee at Snorlax Food Company.
Her daily work involved sourcing the raw materials needed for making Pokémon food.
Today, someone had come to inquire about the price of Hearty Grains.
Sakura perked up!
Hearty Grains are quite difficult to cultivate, and the market demand is very high.
The more of this crop, the better.
Sakura asked, "How many pounds of Hearty Grains do you have?"
Natsume replied, "About two hundred pounds, but I plan to keep some for myself, so I don't intend to sell it all."
Sakura felt a bit disappointed at Natsume's response.
Two hundred pounds isn't a lot.
But Sakura still sent a happy emoji: "Can I see your Hearty Grains?"
Soon, a video was sent over.
Sakura clicked to view it.
Upon seeing it, Sakura was momentarily stunned.
The grains were exceptionally plump with a beautiful golden color.
"This quality is incredible!"
Sakura quickly adjusted her mindset.
"Can you send me your location?"
"I can come by to collect!"
Natsume sent his location.
When Sakura looked at it, she was a bit puzzled.
The map showed that it was an abandoned farm.
"Mr. Natsume, is your location correct?"
"It shows that it's an abandoned farm."
Natsume typed back: "This used to be my uncle's farm; it has indeed been abandoned for a while."
Sakura replied, "Understood. What is the current name of your farm?"
Natsume paused to think about Sakura's question.
Come to think of it, he hadn't named the farm yet.
What name would be good?
"FarmVille?"
Natsume shook his head.
That was too silly.
He stood up and looked out the window.
The surroundings still looked like a place in need of development.
Growlithe and Sandshrew were playing at the door.
Dratini lay under the air conditioner, enjoying the cool breeze.
Everything felt dreamy.
Natsume had imagined this kind of life before, and now, the dream had come true.
This place was like the world he had once dreamed of.
It was a hidden paradise, a utopia of his dreams!
Natsume said, "Takamagahara."
"This will be the name of our farm."
Sakura looked at the name Natsume sent and updated it in her notes.
Natsume Takamagahara.
"Takamagahara; it has a mystical feel to it," Sakura murmured before continuing, "By the way, Mr. Natsume."
"During the growth of the Hearty Grains, did you capture any Pokémon trying to steal the crops?"
"If so, I can help sell them for you."
Natsume looked at the message from Sakura: "I happen to have a dozen Rattata. Can you help with that?"
"Of course~"
Sakura reminded him, "Also, Rattata are social Pokémon."
"If you find one, there are likely several more nearby, so be careful, Mr. Natsume."
Sakura finished the chat with Natsume and opened Uber Flying.
"Eevee~"
An Eevee crawled out from under the table and jumped up onto the tabletop.
Sakura smiled at Eevee and said, "Let's go, Eevee! It's time for some fieldwork~"
"Eevee~"
Two hundred pounds isn't a large amount, but from the video alone, it was clear that the quality of this batch of Hearty Grains was astonishingly high.
So Sakura felt it was definitely worth making a special trip.
"With this, the shipping issue will be settled."
Natsume quickly searched for Snorlax Food Company.
Snorlax Food Company is a private enterprise that specializes in various mid to high-end Pokémon food.
The employee benefits are excellent, and the company culture is vibrant.
They also recruit powerful Trainers.
Trainers' salaries are tied to their gym badges.
A Trainer with a country-level gym badge earns a monthly salary of 10,000 yen, while two badges would give them 20,000 yen.
And so on.
There are many types of gyms.
City gyms, regional gyms, and country-level gyms!
Country-level gyms are also referred to as type gyms.
Each country-level gym specializes in a different type.
Thus, there are a total of eighteen country-level gyms in the country.
Additionally, only those who have obtained eight country-level gym badges can participate in the annual national Trainer competition!
"It seems there are no country-level gyms in Hokkaido."
Natsume opened the country map to check the locations of the various country-level gyms.
Although Hokkaido didn't have one, the neighboring Tokyo did have a Flying-type gym.
