Chapter 11:Rotom and the House
"Chano~!"
Growlithe's Flamethrower startled Snivy.
"Awooo~"
As the Flamethrower shot out, Growlithe felt much better.
Excited, it leaped into Natsume's arms.
Natsume happily petted Growlithe's fur: "Congratulations, Growlithe."
"Awooo~"
Natsume handed the remaining Exp. Candy to Sandshrew: "This is for you, Sandshrew."
"Chirp chirp~"
Sandshrew happily ate the candy.
Notice: Sandshrew's level has increased to 14.
Sandshrew has learned the move Rollout.
"Chirp chirp~"
Sandshrew curled up into a ball and began to roll quickly around the land.
"Awooo~"
Growlithe howled and immediately chased after it, leaping toward Sandshrew.
The two little ones started to play together on the land.
Natsume smiled slightly as he watched this scene, then took out the last Dragon Gem.
Type gems can enhance the power of corresponding type Pokémon and increase the power of their moves.
In this world, type gems are generally only found in twisted realms, making them difficult for ordinary people to obtain.
"Dratini~"
Dratini looked at the Dragon Gem in Natsume's hand and immediately opened its mouth, swallowing the gem.
Rich Dragon-type energy began to be released within Dratini's body.
Notice: Dratini's level is starting to increase; it has risen to levels 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, and 25!
Notice: Dratini has learned Dragon Rage!
Notice: Dratini has learned Slam!
"Dratini~"
After leveling up, Dratini began to shed its skin again.
This time, after shedding, Dratini's length had nearly reached 1.6 meters.
Dratini was close to evolving.
"You've gotten stronger!"
Natsume squatted down and patted Dratini's body.
"Dratini~"
Dratini lifted its head and licked Natsume's cheek.
Natsume opened Farm Story to check the tasks that were still incomplete.
Task 1: Revitalize the House.
Task 2: Clear an Acre of Land.
An acre is approximately 667 square meters.
"Apart from these two tasks, I also need to sell those Rattata and the Hearty Grains."
Natsume looked at the Pokémon on his land.
Growlithe and Dratini were both combatants.
Snivy was currently a temporary helper.
Sandshrew could assist with the clearing.
However, relying solely on Sandshrew and himself would make clearing an acre quite exhausting.
"I need more help."
Natsume mumbled to himself, then looked at Sandshrew and asked, "By the way, Sandshrew."
"Do you happen to have any friends you can call over to help us build the farm?"
Sandshrew thought for a moment and then nodded.
"Chirp chirp~"
Natsume was slightly taken aback: "Really?"
"Can they come help?"
Sandshrew patted its chest, indicating that it was no problem.
"Alright, then it's up to you to recruit them."
Natsume smiled at Sandshrew: "Tell your friends that we provide food and board here."
"Chirp chirp~"
Sandshrew ran off toward the bushes to find its friends.
Natsume checked the time.
"Let's go ahead and tidy up the house."
After speaking with Dratini and the others, Natsume headed toward the dilapidated house.
The exterior walls were peeling and looked quite shabby.
Natsume opened the building section of the Shopping Mall in Farm Story and selected paint!
The house projection appeared on his phone.
It felt like he was playing a building game as Natsume clicked on the paint and then brushed it against the wall.
In reality, the rundown walls instantly transformed into a clean off-white color.
After finishing the painting, Natsume changed the roof to black tiles.
It was a standard countryside-style building.
The layout of the first floor is fairly simple.
It features a large living room and an open kitchen.
There are two guest rooms and a shower room.
The second floor is Natsume's room.
It includes an extended balcony, a spacious bedroom, and an attached shower.
The flooring, tiles, and lighting fixtures are all in place.
Considering that electricity might be inconvenient here, Natsume bought a generator.
After clicking through the items on his phone, 100,000 Pokémon Coins were deducted.
In reality, a brand-new house appeared before Natsume.
Notice: Revitalized House: Task Complete.

Notice: Revitalized House: Task Complete.
The full Rotom set has been granted.
At that moment, the game warehouse displayed the following items:
Phone; oven microwave; refrigerator; electric fan; lawnmower; drone!
These items can all be used normally.
However, if Rotom enters any of these devices, it will immediately gain the corresponding battle form.
Natsume took out all the items along with Rotom.
As soon as Rotom emerged, it immediately dove into the phone.
Beep beep~ The phone powered on and connected to the internet.
The Rotom phone floated up.
"Hello, I'm Rotom Phone~"
Rotom's voice was high-pitched and childlike.
It could communicate through the phone and even download various voice packs.
"Dratini~"
Dratini looked at it curiously and then flicked its tail.
"Awooo~"
Growlithe released a puff of Ember as a greeting.
Snivy looked around in confusion.
This human is just too amazing!
Natsume asked the bewildered Snivy, "Isn't the change massive?"
"Chano~!"
Natsume cheerfully took out the Soothe Bell he had obtained from defeating the Houndour earlier.
Soothe Bell: A Bell with a pleasant sound bringing tranquility to Pokémon.
Natsume hung the Soothe Bell by his door.
Whoosh~
As the wind blew, the Soothe Bell emitted a refreshing bell sound.
"Chano~"
Listening to the bell sound, Snivy felt like its body was becoming soft.
After properly hanging the bell sound, Natsume looked at the new house and said, "Once we have more Pokémon in the ranch, we can build a huge courtyard."
"And then, we can create some Pokémon houses for everyone to live in."
The farm had a large area.
Natsume's Pokémon could choose their favorite spots to sleep anywhere they liked.
"This place."
Natsume pointed to an open area and said, "We can also build a standard battle arena here."
"Pokémon who enjoy battling can engage in battles and training inside."
As Snivy listened to Natsume describe the future of the farm, various images began to appear in its mind.
"Snivy, what kind of house do you like?"
Thinking for a moment about Natsume's question, Snivy responded, "Chano~, Chano~."
Snivy didn't have high demands for a house.
Being a Grass-type Pokémon, it just needed a place to catch some sunlight.
Of course, it would be even better if it could be kept clean.
Snivy began to imagine its new home here.
