this milk is not only rich and sweet in flavor but also packed with exceptional nutritional value.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swinub’s milk, though less famous than Miltank’s, is still a rare and valuable tonic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mudkip and Tauros are also suitable for farm raising; Mudkip’s evolved form, Claydol, can use the rare farming move to benefit the agricultural zone, while Tauros can breed with Miltank to produce Eggs that hatch into new Miltank or Tauros.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tropius is also good—its fruit-like growths hanging from its neck taste absolutely delicious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, to introduce Pokémon to the farm area, the first step is to replace all the fences surrounding the entire farmland with new ones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao En was right; the fences here are so decrepit that even a Caterpie could smash through one, let alone powerful Pokémon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Mu sighed: “If we calculate it this way, we clearly need to save up enough money to buy brand-new fences around the farm.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He did the math: after accounting for daily expenses and the money he’d just earned, he still had 57,350 Alliance Coins left—just over fifty-seven thousand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Previously, he had inquired with the Hauli Engineering Team, and replacing all the fences would cost at least eighty thousand Alliance Coins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Looks like I need to work harder to earn more money........”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Mu decided to first expand the planting area, then build the farm zone and lake zone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next morning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Early that morning, Luo Mu arrived at the farmland with ease and got to work.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Today’s morning task was mainly clearing crops that yield only once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tomatoes, strawberries, and cabbage are crops that can bear fruit multiple times, but while eggplants can fruit a second time, their quality and size are far inferior to the first harvest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During the clearing, Bai Pengpeng had already taken the two newly evolved companions to familiarize themselves with the farmland’s environment and tasks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their numbers have increased, significantly improving the farmland’s efficiency, but when Luo Mu expands planting later, they’ll still be stretched thin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Mu noticed this but had no intention of immediately adding new companions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeding the dozen or so mouths on the farm alone is a substantial expense; without a plan, mindlessly increasing members would only lead to a financial collapse and farm bankruptcy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After finishing the farm work, it was already noon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Mu immediately began preparing lunch for the dozen or so Pokémon; on ordinary days, the meals aren’t as lavish as before, but they’re not hard to make.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After eating and drinking his fill, Luo Mu was just about to rest and take a nap when the lead Wimpod, having completed its watering duty, came to find him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Mu glanced curiously behind the Wimpod and saw no sign of the three Wimpod that always followed it; he asked, “Where are your little buddies?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Wimpod shook its head; it had sent its little buddies back to Lei Ming Lake to rest before coming alone to find Luo Mu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wu-lu-lu!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Wimpod’s gaze was solemn as it used body language to earnestly explain its purpose to Luo Mu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First, it walked on its now-competent legs, circling Luo Mu several times, then opened its thick lips and shot a stream of water onto the ground, leaving a wet trail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was Water Gun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, the Wimpod sharply slapped a small stone twice with its rounded tail, but lacking power, it only sent the stone flying a short distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was Pound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next, the Wimpod used Mud Shot, Bubble Beam, and Mist—all as if deliberately demonstrating its learned moves to Luo Mu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This unusual behavior made Luo Mu thoughtful; then, when the Wimpod looked with envy at the training Gyarados and Magmortar, Luo Mu reached a firm conclusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Wimpod wanted to grow stronger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s why it came to Luo Mu, who had trained Gyarados and the others, seeking guidance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And it wasn’t just Luo Mu’s imagination—he noticed, during the demonstration, a deep, hidden trace of fear and urgency in the Wimpod’s eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What was it afraid of and anxious about?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a guess forming, Luo Mu gladly accepted the Wimpod’s request.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a moment of thought, Luo Mu, now with a plan, brought the Wimpod over to the side where Karrablast was watching Gyarados and Magmortar train.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since the Wimpod wanted to grow stronger, here was a perfect training partner—while also helping Karrablast build resistance against Water-type moves, which it was quadruply weak to; a win-win situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Luo Mu arrive, Flareon finally felt safe enough to abandon Karrablast and go back to nap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since last night, after watching the baby Cottons evolve, Karrablast had been unusually excited, keeping it awake all night and leaving it sleep-deprived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So it was perfect timing for the father to take over childcare—just what Flareon the mother wanted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The residual effects of Gyarados and Magmortar’s training were too dangerous for the still-weak Karrablast and Wimpod, so Luo Mu found a clear patch of ground farther away for training.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Along the way, Luo Mu pondered how to structure the Wimpod’s training plan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the leader of the group, the Wimpod has the potential to evolve into Wimpod King, and the most notable trait of Wimpod King is its ability to control weather.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Mu had previously tested the Abilities of all four Wimpod.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two had the Ability Water Absorb, one had the Ability Hydration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And this lead Wimpod before him had the Ability........ Hidden Ability “Swift Swim”!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When a Wimpod with Swift Swim evolves into Wimpod King, its Ability changes to the ultra-rare Rain Dish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How rare is this Ability? An example will make it clear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Mu knew of only three Pokémon with Rain Dish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gyarados, Wimpod King, and........ the Creator of the Oceans, the Legendary Pokémon Kyogre!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pokémon with Rain Dish have a completely different level of weather control compared to ordinary Pokémon that only know Rain Dance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the Wimpod evolves successfully into Wimpod King, it will become one of the core Pokémon of this farm!\u003C\u002Fp>",1071,"2026-06-20T17:11:47.132Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","484ca26b6a387863ec80d0d8c9fac174b718089e4ae416b06572b054c4268628","pokemon-the-reemployment-of-a-paldea-former-cham-chapter-49","pokemon-the-reemployment-of-a-paldea-former-cham-chapter-47",695,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fpokemon-the-reemployment-of-a-paldea-former-cham-cover.jpg"]
