Once Oddish was fully healed, Yang Tao didn't rush back to training. Instead, he set up a teleportation point and returned home.
During his journey, he had gathered a lot of berries. Once home, he picked out a spot and leveled the ground.
"I'll plant a hundred of each type of berry. I'll be making money selling these in the future."
Berries were an important resource in the Pokémon world, needed for all sorts of things.
Plus, they were a renewable source of income.
For now, though, there was no way to automate the farming process. Hopefully, some mods would appear in the future to make things easier.
Unfortunately, he hadn't collected many berries while training, and none of them were particularly rare.
He started by planting red, black, white, and green berries, letting them grow over time.
"I wonder how long it'll take for them to grow... Oh right, I can use Bone Meal!"
Yang Tao suddenly remembered that berries could be speed-grown using Bone Meal. He grabbed a large supply from home and began using it on each tree.
Technically, he could also make a Wailmer Pail to water them daily, but since he had a mob farm, he didn't bother with such a slow method.
With a steady supply of berries, he could now craft tons of Poké Balls.
After a long time spent farming, the orchard was finally fully set up. He harvested a large batch of berries and sold them at the shop, earning a huge amount of money.
With a new mod update, Yang Tao found himself heading underground again, digging for newly added minerals.

Yang Tao messaged Ash in the group chat.
"Ash, I've got Pokémon in my world now! When I get the chance, I'll come to your place and challenge a Gym!"
Ash was confused.
"Wait, don't you only have the one Pokémon I gave you? How are you gonna challenge a Gym?"
Yang Tao snapped a picture of a wild Magikarp and sent it to the chat.
"Anyone want a Magikarp?"
Ash was shocked.
"Where did you even find Magikarp, man?!"
Zhang Wenjing chimed in.
"A Magikarp that only knows Splash? A Magikarp that's all bones? What's the point of catching one?"
Ren Fa suddenly spoke up and revealed the truth: "Group leader, you said before that your world is a game world. Don't tell me you've merged it with the Pokémon world!"
Yang Tao: "That's right! My world just merged with Pokémon. If anyone wants a Pokémon, you can place a request! One per person!"
Ash: "I don't need one! I want to catch my own Pokémon and become a Pokémon Master!"
Yang Tao tried to tempt him: "But there are legendary Pokémon~"
Ash: "…I still don't want one!"
Ning Caichen, who wasn't familiar with Pokémon, asked in the group: "What is Pokémon?"
Xu Xian: "Same question!"
Zhang Wenjing: "Group leader! I want an Eevee!"
Ren Fa: "Group leader! I want a shiny Gengar. It really suits my style!"
Yang Tao uploaded *Pokémon* to the group's shared files and earned 100 points.
Yang Tao: "If you don't know what Pokémon is, go check out the video. And Ren Fa, you're asking for too much. I want a shiny one too, but the spawn rate is too low. I'll see if I can get you a normal one instead."
Ren Fa wasn't disappointed: "That's fine! A normal one works too!"
Yang Tao: "An Eevee is easy enough. I'll catch one when I get a chance. My Pokémon are too weak right now—I can only handle Magikarp!"
Oddish: "It's not that I'm weak! You're just too cautious!"
As Yang Tao chatted with the group, he continued digging for minerals underground. Time always seemed to pass quickly while talking.
"Naruto, how's the exam going?" Yang Tao asked, realizing almost a day had passed.
Naruto: "I finished the first part! Tomorrow, we enter the Forest of Death. Big bro, I want a Pokémon too!"
After watching *Pokémon*, Naruto had grown fond of them.
Yang Tao laughed: "Aren't you going to have a whole army of frogs in the future? Why do you need a Pokémon?"
Naruto awkwardly replied: "Big bro, you mean the toads from Mount Myoboku? Yeah, they're cool, but… I want a cute Pokémon to give to Hinata!"
The group chat instantly exploded with gossip.
Zhang Wenjing teased: "Oh wow! Our Naruto is finally getting it! He knows to give gifts to girls now!"
Ren Fa chimed in: "I've always been a Naruto-Hinata shipper! So, Naruto, how far have you two gotten?"
Even Tony, who had been silent for a long time, jumped in: "Did I hear someone talking about wooing girls? Little Naruto, if you want to date, you should ask Uncle Tony! I've had more girlfriends than you've had acquaintances!"
Seeing everyone teasing him, Naruto quickly explained: "It's not what you guys think! I just want to give Hinata a Pokémon to help protect her!"
Yang Tao: "For some reason, I suddenly feel full… I wonder why!"
"Naruto, if you want a Pokémon, come help me pick berries. That way, I can make money and level up faster! Just use the portal in the base to get here. Bring Zabuza and Haku too—they can help!"
Yang Tao figured he might as well put them to work.
