In battle, the Rototiller move might not be very useful.
But if it's used in places like farmlands, forests, or gardens, its effect would definitely far surpass a hundred Hyper Beams.
After clearing this wasteland, the Dugtrio looked a bit dispirited.
It was clear that using the Rototiller move was very draining for him.
"Prince Draconis, what exactly is the situation with this monster?!"
It took a Knight quite a while to recover from the shock brought by the Dugtrio. He looked at the soft, tilled land before him and couldn't help but ask Prince Draconis, who was the most knowledgeable about monsters in the territory.
Hearing this, several farmers nearby also couldn't help but look at Draconis.
Compared to the Knights Order, they were even more shocked.
Because the scene before them far exceeded their understanding.
The land that would take them several days to cultivate, this monster finished in a short while?!
"This is the power of this monster," Draconis slowly explained under everyone's gaze. "I once read books about him in the Royal Library."
"His name is Dugtrio, a monster that lives underground, and the move he uses is called Rototiller."
Rototiller: Establishes a connection with the earth, channeling his Ground-type energy into the soil beneath his feet.
"If I remember correctly, fields cultivated with this move can make crops grow faster and better."
Their Berry fields also had a solution, Draconis couldn't help but think.
"There's even such a thing..." The surrounding farmers and Knights all cast curious glances at the Dugtrio.
"This is the wonder of Pokémon," Draconis said with a smile.
However, Draconis only knew that Rototiller would make crops grow faster, but he wasn't sure how much it could shorten the ripening time.
But it probably wouldn't be too exaggerated, after all, Dugtrio is just an ordinary, unremarkable Pokémon.
He is far from possessing the power of some mythical and legendary Pokémon.
Shaymin, where flowers immediately bloom wherever it passes.
Landorus, the God of Farmlands, who can replenish soil nutrients and make crops thrive.
There's even Calyrex, the King of Harvests, who can make any plant instantly ripen with a mere flick of his hand.
However, for the current territory, it was enough.
"Take good care of Dugtrio. I hope you all can continue to cultivate the land and plant crops with him," Draconis slowly said.
Everyone was slightly stunned, then quickly nodded and said, "Yes, Prince Draconis!"
"Dugtrio, for the time being, you'll stay here and help out! As compensation, we will also provide you with food so you won't go hungry anymore," Draconis squatted down and said to Dugtrio. "I hope you can get along well with everyone."
"Squeak, squeak..."
After Draconis left, the farmers holding hoes looked at the monster named Dugtrio in front of them, exchanging glances.
But, now was not the time to be idle.
Since the new fields had been cultivated, they had to sow the seeds as quickly as possible.
The farmers began to get busy.
Dugtrio stayed put, watching the busy scene with his round, little eyes.
A moment later, to make up for the damage he had caused to these humans and reduce his guilt, after recovering some strength, Dugtrio once again began to use the Rototiller move.
The people in the surrounding fields were initially surprised by this scene. They saw the monster that had destroyed the farmland working so hard to till the soil.
Even though he was very tired, he didn't stop.
This scene couldn't help but move everyone's hearts.
Prince Draconis was right. This monster was not a bad monster; the reason he destroyed the farmland was simply because he was too hungry.
And now, Dugtrio, having learned the truth, was diligently making up for their losses... At this moment, the farmers' hearts held a bit more acceptance for this Dugtrio.
When all the fields were cultivated, several farmers came together to the panting Dugtrio.
"Squeak, squeak?" Noticing several shadows above his head, Dugtrio looked up.
The next second, he saw several cautious smiling faces.
The owners of the smiling faces gently placed water bottles and Berry in front of him.
"You must be starving after a morning of work, right? These are fruits that Pokémon can eat, hurry and eat!"
Dugtrio was slightly stunned.
"Squeak, squeak..."

After lunch, Draconis was sitting in the Lord's Hall tent, pondering various affairs of the territory.
At this moment, Old Butler Alfred walked in from outside, reporting the progress of the farmland with a surprised expression.
"Prince Draconis! In just one morning, a large amount of land suitable for cultivation has been cleared in the farmlands!"
"I know," Draconis said with a smile. "It's the power of that Dugtrio, isn't it?"
Seeing Draconis's expression, Alfred immediately understood what was going on.
— His Highness has encountered a new Pokémon again; this time, it's a Pokémon skilled in cultivation.
"If I'm not mistaken, have all those crops already been planted?" Draconis asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Huh? How did Your Highness know?" Alfred was a bit surprised.
Draconis smiled: "I understand that Pokémon; his power is perfectly suited for cultivation."
Thinking of this, Draconis couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
Sure enough, in the Pokémon world, Pokémon are the primary productive force!
One Dugtrio and a few farmers working together could achieve this much. If there were more Dugtrio... Draconis dared not imagine.
Draconis had originally planned to ask Dugtrio to help cultivate the Berry fields in the afternoon, and then they would bury the Berry seeds.
But upon hearing Alfred's words, Draconis changed his mind.
Dugtrio worked so hard; he must be very tired by now.
Draconis did not want to be a lord who exploited his subjects.
In that case, the matter of establishing the Berry fields would be postponed until tomorrow!
"Once the Berry seeds are planted, the special training for Snivy can officially begin," Draconis thought.
Snivy's Good at moves are mostly Special Attacks, and to skillfully use these types of moves, a Pokémon needs extremely high control over its own energy.
Whether it's Mega Drain, Energy Ball, or Leaf Storm... even the physical move Leaf Blade requires the Pokémon to first condense energy into the shape of a Leaf Blade before attacking.
Therefore, Draconis planned to use the planted Berry seeds to conduct special training for Snivy.
He would have her use her Grass-type energy to care for the crops, ripen the seeds, and provide nutrients to those seeds to accelerate their Growth.
This would both enhance Snivy's control over Grass-type energy and allow her to help care for the crops.
Two birds with one stone, Draconis couldn't help but think.
At this moment, a surprised voice suddenly came from outside.
"Prince Draconis! Come quickly and see what we've caught!"
