23. Relaxing Day

    It’s a new day after the whole commotion.


    Yesterday, Sabrina got to know their move set and learned a bit more about her Pokémon.


    She also read another book on farming, but seeing how the content goes well over her head, she will read a cooking or common sense book in the future.


    It at least helped her with planning on how to plant new trees, how far from the river, which one facing east, and so on. A bit, at least.


    Sabrina had to look up some things, but it worked out.


    Oddish has Absorb, Growth, Acid, Sweet Scent, and Charm and seems very invested in practicing Absorb.


    Acid, especially, is not something that Sabrina would have recognized, as she simply didn’t know the move.


    Absorb is special, as is Acid, which can lower special defense with a low chance.


    She is unsure if she should go for a buff/debuff strategy, but it might work well against physical attackers, and she lacks options.


    Especially since Absorb can heal Oddish.


    Exeggcute has Absorb, Hypnosis, Reflect, Leech Seed, and Protect.


    Protect? It has Protect? But the Combination is also nasty, as it will heal and protect itself while slowly damaging the opponent.


    And is it trying to learn Psybeam? Sabrina could only guess, but it seems to be that, at least after Exeggcute.


    Comfey knows Wrap, Growth, Vine Whip, Helping Hand, and Draining Kiss, and what she found out is Trailblaze.


    Vine Whip requires her to whip out her band body part, but from there seems to extend a vine that is, seemingly, made with the same energy as most other Grass-type moves.


    While not having Absorb or Leech Seed, isn’t it still ridiculous how three of her Pokémon have attacks that recover health by damage?


    And why does Comfey have the best options for physical moves? Or rather, she is the only one with some!


    Abra has only Teleport and Telekinesis.


    From what she gathered, he seems to work on the same kind of field and an attack version of telekinesis.


    Field is probably Psychic Terrain then?


    Not getting hit by attacks with a higher priority, was it? Pairs well with Teleport as an evasive maneuver, I think.


    Vulpix has Tail Whip, Ember, Disable, Quick Attack, and Encore.


    It’s funny how Vulpix tried to be the bigger person but seems to be the most unwilling.


    Meanwhile, Comfey is very comfortable beside Sabrina, even though she is the only one not having given her agreement.


    Anyway, her first thought was that Vulpix would have the upper hand against any starting Charmander trainer.


    With good planning and maybe an additional move, Growlithe would also work.


    On further thinking, Vulpix generally has an advantage over most others starting out already by having Encore and Disable.


    But Defense. That could be a breaking point. Maybe. Sabrina never battled in real.


    After having slept and found out all of her Pokémon’s moves, she looks over the diagnosis.


    One thing that makes her jump is Exeggcute. It has Harvest! That is as recommended, and the name alone promises great things.


    Well, at least when you have a Berry Ranch. Or a farm in general.


    That is very good. At least she thinks so; she doesn’t know what it is even supposed to do.


    The rest are more normal: Vulpix with Flash Fire, Oddish with Chlorophyll, Bulbasaur with Overgrow, Comfey with her unique Triage, and Abra with Inner Focus.


    Sabrina feels really lucky. Also because Comfey doesn’t need to have Triage, even as it’s subjectively the better option.


    Otherwise, it would either have its secret ability like Exeggcute or Flower Veil, which only has an effect on allied Grass-type Pokémon.


    On that note, why does Exeggcute have its secret ability? Well, she doesn’t know where Drampa picked it up.


    “Okay, what do you all plan to do? Everyone besides Comfey and Vulpix seems to want to train something, as far as I know.”Reading on this site? This novel is published elsewhere. Support the author by seeking out the original.


    A round of nods goes through the Pokémon.


    ”Well, when you want to train now, do as you please.


    Just don’t destroy the field or disturb others.”


    Comfey and Vulpix are the only ones not going away.


    Opposed to the little Fairy, Vulpix looks a bit uncomfortable, wanting to go away but not having thought of anything to train.


    ”How about you either try to strengthen your Ember or learn Sunny Day?


    We have three Pokémon that can profit from it, including you.


    Oddish gets faster; Bulbasaur wouldn’t have to charge Solar Beam when he learns it, and you get your Fire Moves enhanced.


    Also, Water Moves get weaker. You could also contribute to the farm.”


    Vulpix''s ears perk up at the weakening effect but drop at the contribution point.


    With an accusing glare, Vulpix settles down on the grass.


    ”Don’t take it the wrong way, but you are pretty much the only one who can’t help in the farm.”


    With a jerk, Vulpix stands again and looks at her ill-mannered.


    ”Exeggcute and Abra have psychic powers, while the former is also a Grass Pokémon.


    Bulbasaur has Vines, and Oddish’s nectar or saliva is very nutritious; it is also a Grass Pokémon.


    Comfey has a strong plant affinity and can float.


    So everyone has a way to pick berries or at least help the plants in a way, I would say.


    Only you can do nothing.”


    Yes, I am purposely provoking her while trying to sound innocent.


    Itdoesn’t take a genius to see how insulted she feels at being ‘useless.’.


    And I can learn more about her by her reaction.


    Is she so prideful that she tries now to learn Sunny Day? Will she further deny her help or try to play me by doing something else helpful?


    Oh, she distanced herself and looked up. She seems to be trying Sunny Day.


    ”Vuuuuu. Vuuuulpix!”


    She cried a bit out in the sky, but nothing changed.


    After a bit of trying around, she begins to fire Embers in the Sky.


    As she finally recognizes it’s useless, unwillingly, she makes eye contact with Sabrina.


    While there is a mask of ‘I do this to help you, so you should teachme,’’the pleading in her eyes is visible.


    Sabrina melts a bit at the sight of the cute creature, approaching her and trying to help.


    ”You see the Sun? That sunlight you feel, try to intensify it.


    Don’t go on it while thinking that more sun or heat should be, but rather enhance it so it can give power to your fire.


    Sunny Day’s effect is supposed to cover the battlefield. You don’t need to worry about anything else.


    Can you try to enhance the light shining at you right now?”


    Vulpix just stares at her annoyed, seemingly not wanting to admit something.


    Honestly, Sabrina just dished her up something that sounded plausible, but nothing she wouldn’t be convinced of herself.


    Quickly navigating the Pokédex, she finds streaming platforms are accessible.


    Use of Sunny Day in Leagues, Arenas, or normal Pokémon fights, she finds a bit of everything.


    Or rather, there is a channel that makes a video for each move to help Pokémon and trainees who try to teach their Pokémon, balancing where and how Sunny Day was used.


    The little Pokémon was attentive at the beginning, but halfway through, it was rather of use on side-eyeing Sabrina, who was intently of use all the time.


    Huffing, she turns around and tries to train Sunny Day.


    Not noticing how Sabrina quickly turns around as Hershey faces her back, concentrating on her tail.


    Indeed, only three Tails. It just looks like nine from how her fur is arranged!


    Well, she also behaves like a teenager anyway. I think. Never was a mother or good at self-reflection.


    Wonder how the training is going on from the other Pokémon.


    Sabrina goes around to see the progress of each Pokémon.


    She notes down how each of them seems to have made distance to each other to train.


    Comfey began again to act as an improvised hair tie, with what she now recognizes as a wrap to properly make her hair into a ponytail.


    Absentmindedly, Sabrina browsed a page of flower stores in Celadon City.


    The variety is good, and she takes screenshots of every picture at which Comfey seems to be especially agitated, even when she doesn’t look at the screen in the moment.


    It’s pretty noticeable when your hair tie makes erratic movements.
