Pokemon Settler

When Rock originally chose this hilly area as the location to open a tree orchard, he did not cut down all the original trees here.

Instead, all the forests in the steeper slope areas on the north and east sides of the hills were retained to serve as protective forests for tree orchards.

After the planned tree orchard is fully developed, it will only occupy an area of ​​fifteen hectares on the southwest side of the hilly slopes, and most of the forest will still be retained.

It seems now that the comprehensive design made out of the desire for perfection was indeed in vain.

The east and north sides of the hills are adjacent to the upper reaches of the Jingkong River. The preserved protective forests provide good drainage on the ground and stabilize the soil at the edge of the slope.

This allowed Rock's tree orchard to suffer no damage from the heavy rains, nor was it affected by flooding from the overflowing Jing Kong River.

Rock, who had just escaped from the huge flood, truly realized the power of this heavy rain.

If these protective forests had not been retained, or if the orchard had been located next to the Jingkong River for the convenience of irrigation, we would have suffered heavy losses now.

Thinking of this, Rock felt very lucky.

Gama~

Geranium's head popped up from Rock's head, looking left and right.

It likes rain, so instead of staying in the oak forest to hide from the rain like Heiluga and Arbor, it accompanies Rock to patrol the territory.

This tree orchard also embodies a lot of hard work by Geranium. It was Geranium that carried Squirtle's watering can to water these fruit seedlings on countless mornings.

Seeing the new green leaves on the fruit seedlings, the geranium also felt very happy, and its body unconsciously exuded a refreshing fragrance.

The branches and leaves of the fruit seedlings that came into contact with this breath swayed gently, seeming to become more and more full of vitality.

This is?!

Rock was surprised and a little surprised at the same time.

He also smelled the fragrance of the geranium, and instantly felt very refreshed. The fatigue and discomfort in his body were suddenly relieved a lot.

It's just that Rock is a little unclear now whether this fragrance is Geranium's innate instinct or a newly acquired skill.

Regarding all kinds of information about his own elves, Roque naturally checked out all the information he could find.

He knew that the geranium had a natural characteristic, that is, the flowers around its neck could emit a magical aura that made the flowers and plants glow with greater vitality.

When other humans and Pokémon smell this scent, they will feel very refreshed as if they had taken a forest bath.

In addition, because Rock has accumulated some relevant knowledge for land reclamation, he also knows that there are many grass-type Pokémon that have similar characteristics that can be beneficial to plants.

Therefore, grass-type elves with such characteristics are a must-have for almost everyone engaged in agriculture or planting-related industries.

Geranium's ability in this area is naturally stronger than most grass elves.

But what makes Rock unsure is that the grass-based skill 'Aromatherapy' that Geranium can learn can also produce the same effect as he just had.

Now that he doesn't have a navigator, Rock can only go back and make sure again, but it's a good thing anyway.

After confirming that every sapling was growing well and full of vitality, Rock and Geranium continued walking towards the bee farm.

Although there is less water on the road than in other slightly lower areas, you can still step into a puddle when you step down.

Looking at the slippery vegetation on the ground, Rock was thoughtful as he hurried on.

After arriving at the bee farm, Rock found that the situation here was also very good.

Forty-two giant needle bee hives hang intact on the trees, and the surrounding tall beech trees provide natural shelter for the bee farm.

The beeswax that makes up the hives of the giant needle bees has very good waterproof properties, so what Rock sees now is that his giant needle bees are huddled in their respective hives very comfortably, enjoying rare leisure.

These giant needle bees are much more sensitive than Rock. As soon as the humidity in the air changes, they immediately fly back to the hive without even getting their wings wet.

You guys can continue to rest, I'm just here to see everyone.

Rock waved to the giant needle bees that poked their heads out from the door of the hive, and then left after confirming that there was nothing wrong with the bee farm.

Just before leaving, he took some more honey, which was to replenish energy for the furry sheep.

As a vegetarian elf, Rock can only use this relatively luxury way to supplement additional nutrition for the furry sheep for the time being.

As for himself, Abo, Heiluga, Geranium, and those Dairubis, they don't have to go through so much trouble. They can just eat the Catfish King.

It seems like we need to consider planning another fodder growing area, as well as a barn.

Rock was perfecting some ideas for his own territory in his mind. Now that there were not many furry sheep, he could still feed them honey.

In the future, once the number of various pastoral elves increases, they will have to rely on some highly nutritious crops to supplement them.

From being a social animal before time travel and devoting himself without hesitation to the life of reclamation, Rock didn't have much experience except for his enthusiasm.

Although he has been working hard to make each of his work plans as comprehensive and perfect as possible, sometimes he still cannot cover everything.

Fortunately, Rock only needs to be responsible for himself, and no one will get involved with him. He can slowly learn while cultivating wasteland, and adjust his plans as his experience increases, making his territory better and better.

After checking out the bee farm, Rock was ready to go back. The vegetable garden was not far from the camp, so for him it was just a matter of taking a look on the way.

The weeds and vegetation in the vegetable garden have been cleared away, so the ground is very muddy. Fortunately, Rock built a stone path in the vegetable garden, which made it very convenient for him to walk without having to wade through muddy water.

The vegetables he and Junsha Yamei planted before have all sprouted and sprouted. Although they are not edible yet, they have grown lush leaves.

At this time, these fresh vegetable stems and leaves were in good condition except for being beaten a little low by the heavy rain.

Although these vegetables are just ordinary crops and do not have the magical effects of tree fruits, they still have tenacious vitality.

Seeing that there was not much rainwater accumulated in the planting box, Rock couldn't help but admire Junsha Yamei's planting skills.

When he was planting vegetables at that time, Rock, at Junsha Yamei's suggestion, filled the bottom of the planting box with holes, and then mixed some gravel into the prepared planting soil.

This makes the planter boxes very hydrophobic and withstood the heavy rain.

After Rock took a general look at several planting boxes and found that there were no problems, he took the geraniums straight through the vegetable garden and prepared to go back to make dinner.

Just then, a magical scene happened.
