Dusk.
In the two plowed fields, Alex planted many plants used to make Super Potion, and also bought some spicy tomato fruit, as well as chili, turnip, and other vegetable seeds from the seed store in town.
He also bought a fish tank on his way back.
To show his gratitude to Shrewd Rat.
Alex made another spicy berry noodles in the evening.
This delighted Shrewd Rat, whose gaze fell upon the remaining uncultivated land in the Plantation, his small eyes practically telling Alex, "Those tasks are mine too; remember to call me when it's time."
...
"Here, have a rare candy."
Looking at Shrewd Rat, who was about to leave, Alex took out a rare candy.
"Shrewd Rat?"
Shrewd Rat took it with his paw, somewhat puzzled.
"It's delicious."
Shrewd Rat sniffed it, didn't think much of it, and ate it in one bite.
After swallowing, he felt refreshed from a day's labor, as if he had more energy and strength.
The simple-minded Shrewd Rat didn't think much of it, bowed twice to Alex, and then left.
Only through Alex's Eye of Exploration could it be seen.
Shrewd Rat's energy level, originally 11-12, had now become 13-14.
Overall, it had increased by two levels!
"Snivy..."
Snivy let out a resentful sound from the side.
It now understood.
As long as it was food made by this human,
it was basically top-tier delicious!
"Alright, you've also worked hard all day, weeding two plots of land."
Alex squatted down, looking at Snivy with a strange smile.
But this smile made Snivy inexplicably shy; after taking the rare candy, it thought for a moment, as if having decided something, and moved closer to Alex, then lowered its head.
This posture seemed to be asking Alex to pat its head?
"Haha..."
Alex couldn't help but chuckle, and while handing over the rare candy, he also, as wished, placed his hand on its head.
The smooth touch was like jelly, yet it had a softness, and when gently stroked, there was a cool sensation.
In other words, it was...
...hmm...
The feel was excellent.
Having managed to get Snivy to accept his head pat, Alex no longer tried to tease it, but instead took out a Pokeball, sincerely placing it in front of it.
"Snivy?"
Snivy had just put the rare candy into its mouth and hadn't even had time to chew when it saw a large Pokeball placed in front of it.
Its chewing motion immediately stopped, and the entire snake froze in place.
Alex said very seriously, "Will you become my Pokemon?"
After a day of getting along,
he quite liked this Snivy.
"Snivy~?" (So...so sudden...)
Snivy turned its head away, a little unaccustomed.
Although it had a very good impression of Alex in its heart.
When it heard this question, it couldn't help but want to agree.
But after only one day of acquaintance, it felt like it was a bit too fast?
Alex smiled, "When fate arrives, how can it be called sudden? Besides, I am very sincerely asking if you can become my Pokemon."
Swallowing the rare candy in its mouth, and looking at the Pokeball in front of it, Snivy finally turned its head away, but placed its hand on the Pokeball.
"Snivy~!" (Since you...said so, then alright...)
Accompanied by specks of red light, the next moment, Snivy's figure vanished into the Pokeball.
"Tsk, it really is a little tsundere."
Alex shook his head and released it again.

"Snivy~?"
"Come, I'll take you to meet a new little friend."
Alex took out Feebas's Pokeball.
He had been busy all day and hadn't had time to release Feebas yet.
"Snivy..."
Seeing Alex, who was the same as before, with no changes, Snivy didn't know why, but it let out a sigh of relief and followed him with small steps.
By the reservoir,
After a day of settling, the reservoir had become clear.
With a gentle tap.
Feebas, who had been in the Pokeball for half a day, immediately swam out.
Its dull fish eyes, seeing Alex again, couldn't help but show a little joy.
Alex picked it up from the water, let the somewhat curious Snivy see it, and then, looking at the somewhat pitted scales on its body, fell into thought.
He had already seen the Prism Scale rewarded by the system; its quality was absolutely beyond reproach.
It's just that Feebas's scales were a bit dirty right now.
It was about to evolve.
Naturally, he wanted to ensure it was in the best possible condition before evolving, so that it would have the highest quality after evolution!
Taking out the fish tank from the storage sphere and filling it with water, Alex placed Feebas into the fish tank.
Then he called out to Snivy.
Taking the two little ones, he went into the house.
Feebas could just be placed on the table.
As for Snivy,
that wasn't a big problem either.
When his mother was alive, she had carved a wooden house for Scyther at home.
Although it was a bit old, it was still quite suitable for Snivy to use now.
"Snivy?"
Looking at the wooden house, which was clearly not suitable for its height, Snivy curiously glanced at Alex.
"This was built a bit larger because we considered that your body would grow larger after you evolve into Serperior in the future."
Alex spoke nonsense with a straight face.
But he suddenly remembered,
Snivy's minimum level in the Eye of Exploration was already 14.
If it evolves at level 16,
it shouldn't be too long, right?
Hmm.
After it absorbs the energy from the rare candy, he'll feed it another one, and that should be about right.
"Snivy..."
Snivy rolled its eyes at him. Was he treating it as stupid as a Magikarp?
This wooden house clearly had some age to it.
And he said it was built for it.
However, the wooden house was very spacious and clean inside; it looked like it had just been cleaned.
It really liked it.
What could be used to prove it?
Congratulations to the host for increasing Snivy's Happiness from 60% to 75%, rewarding eight bags of Golden Fertilizer, three rare candies, and a Grassy Terrain TM.
This was very clear.
It really liked this home~
