Since the Poliwag family arrived at the farm, the watering work across the entire farm has become much easier.
Before, the watering tasks had to be done bit by bit by the Wenhua siblings and the Sandslash couple, which was exhausting.
Now, with the help of the Poliwags, the situation has changed dramatically.
Every day, it only takes ten Poliwags less than half an hour to complete the watering tasks perfectly, with speed and results that are both fast and excellent.
Back in the day, the Wenhua siblings and the Sandslash couple had to toil for several hours, and Wen Qi would occasionally send out Pokémon to lend a hand.
Now that the Poliwags have arrived, they've been completely freed.
Especially the Sandslash couple—being Ground-type Pokémon, they hate water the most. Before, they had no choice but to grit their teeth and get through it.
Now with the Poliwags, this Pokémon couple couldn't be more relaxed and happy.
They have more time to train, dig in the dirt, and burrow holes, living a life of pure comfort.
As for the Wenhua siblings, they suddenly felt they had nothing urgent to do anymore. At most, they handled the milk affairs and tended the vegetable garden, and that was it.
Seeing them so idle, Wen Qi had them take their Pidgey to find Pidgeot, asking Pidgeot to help with training.
Since they had nothing better to do, training Pokémon more would always be beneficial.
Wen Qi knew in his heart that they were still young and would eventually leave the farm to explore the world.
When that time came, they'd need Pokémon to protect themselves. Boosting their strength now would greatly benefit their future.
Their Pidgey's strength hadn't improved as much as Wen Qi's, but it had still gone up by one or two levels, which was already pretty good.
Time passed slowly like this for half a month.
During this period, everything was mostly calm and peaceful.
On Wen Qi's end, he lazed around the farm like a slacker while training his Pokémon, living a life of pure joy and comfort.
This cozy lifestyle even caused Wen Qi to start gaining weight.
He didn't notice it at first, but the observant Bellossom did.
So, in the following days, Bellossom forbade Wen Qi from eating high-calorie foods and told Audino not to listen to Wen Qi so much, especially when it came to making those high-calorie desserts.
This left Wen Qi feeling pretty down. With his meals drastically reduced, he naturally felt a bit unhappy.
But since he couldn't outmatch Bellossom, he had no choice but to endure it silently.
Still, over these half a month, Wen Qi's Pokémon had all made significant progress in strength.
Venomoth had gone up four levels, now at level 39, growing more powerful.
Horsea had also risen four levels, reaching level 26, steadily growing.
Bellossom had increased by two levels, now at level 38, becoming even more radiant and charming.
The Sandslash couple had gone up one level, now at level 30, but they'd hit a bottleneck and needed more effort and opportunities to break through.
The little Sandshrew had risen four levels, reaching level 29, showing clear improvement.
Skiddo had gone up one level, now at level 48, still majestic.
Poliwag had risen four levels, reaching level 27, and evolved into Poliwhirl.
During the evolution, Wen Qi used some precious natural treasures to boost its potential to deep green, greatly enhancing its future prospects.
Flaaffy had gone up four levels, now at level 27, on the verge of leveling up again.
Scizor, which had been leveling up quickly before, hadn't gained a level during this period. Instead, it focused on solidifying its foundation through rigorous training.
Hakamo-o had absorbed the energy within its body, rising one level to level 36. This growth rate was relatively fast for its kind.
After its potential was restored, Growlithe finally started to pick up speed. Combined with its previous efforts, it shot up five levels, now at level 28.
Wen Qi planned to help it evolve once it reached level 30.
The three Butterfree had risen five levels, now at level 20, mastering several moves. Their practice with Confusion and the three powders had gone well, and they were now proficient.
The seven newly born Butterfree had only evolved from Metapod two days ago, now all around level 12, with potential mostly at light green—promising futures ahead.
Rhyhorn had trained hard, rising five levels, now at level 19.
As for Pidgeotto, Wen Qi had given it a green potential potion, boosting its potential to deep green. It had risen four levels, now at level 22, familiar with most moves and learning some new ones, greatly increasing its strength.
Heracross was still at level 44, mainly resting lately to build up its foundation and recover from previous losses, so it hadn't leveled up.
As for Noibat, it had just passed its infancy, now only around level 7. It would take a while to grow, with a growth rate likely similar to Horsea's.
Back then, Horsea was about the same level as Venonat, but now Venonat had long evolved into Venomoth, nearly at level 40, while Horsea was only at level 26. In comparison, its progress was indeed very slow.
What surprised Wen Qi the most was Bulbasaur. Perhaps due to its unique move "Growth," after entering Wen Qi's small world, it kept absorbing the world's energy, growing at an astonishing rate that even startled Wen Qi.
It quickly reached level 16. Wen Qi thought it was still too young, so he put an Everstone on it.
Now it was at level 18, having risen eight levels in half a month—an incredibly fast pace.
If Wen Qi hadn't held it back from evolving, it would probably have become Ivysaur by now.
It seemed that Bulbasaur's unique move "Growth" was all about accelerating development, which explained its rapid progress.
Even under the influence of the small world, its potential improved faster than other Pokémon. The light blue in its potential was deepening, and it was estimated that by the time it evolved, it could reach blue.
As for Turtwig, it had been sent back two days ago by a Venusaur at the champion level, dispatched by the dominant Venusaur.
Wen Qi had warmly entertained that Venusaur, giving it plenty of high-grade perfect energy cubes, which delighted it so much that it was reluctant to leave.
If the dominant Venusaur hadn't urged it to return early, it probably would have stayed a few more days.
But Turtwig's return brought Wen Qi a huge surprise.
The most noticeable change in Turtwig after coming back was its size—not growing larger and more imposing, but shrinking. Its once massive body, over two meters tall, had now shrunk to about two meters.
Looking at its patterns, the originally rough lines had become delicate and deep, like a masterpiece carefully crafted by a skilled artisan. Every line held mysterious power.
The hardness of its shell had undergone a qualitative leap, no longer just tough but with a metallic sheen, cold and solid, leaving no doubt about its formidable defensive capabilities.
As for its aura, while Turtwig had always been imposing, it was now even more refined.
That aura was no longer a wild, unrestrained display but deep and restrained, like a supreme master who, without a word, could exert immense pressure.
It seemed calm and gentle, but once it erupted, it would surely be like a thunderbolt, earth-shattering.
The energy within its body had undergone a radical transformation. Previously scattered, it was now much more condensed, as if all its power had been compressed into a tiny space, with incredibly high density and explosive potential beyond measure.
Although its level had only risen by three, now at level 34, these three levels were significant.
If not for the Everstone holding it back, it would have evolved long ago.
But for the sake of a broader growth space in the future and to further elevate its potential, this suppression was necessary.
Now, Turtwig stood there quietly, like a hidden supreme powerhouse, silent yet commanding respect.
Every breath, every subtle movement, seemed to tell the story of its growth and transformation.
Wen Qi looked at it, his heart full of anticipation. He knew that when the suppression was lifted, Turtwig would surely display awe-inspiring power and grace.
