Abducti--- I mean Adopting pokemon

It had been one year since Rei returned from his adventure, and Ester Village had changed drastically.

Under his guidance, the village had transformed into a hidden paradise, complete with a fully functional ecological park, a Pokémon Center, and a marketplace for the villagers.

But today, Rei had a different goal in mind. He wasn't just building a farm—he was building a self-sustaining Pokémon ecosystem. And to do that, he needed more Pokémon.

Rei walked through the forests and rivers near the village, observing the Pokémon in their natural habitat.

Near the riverbank, he found a group of Poliwag swimming playfully. Instead of battling, Rei simply tossed in some handmade Pokéblocks. This action drew the attention of the poliwags causing the poliwags to paddled over to him, tilting their head. Rei crouched down, extending a couple Pokéball. "Want to come with me?" The Poliwags hesitated for a moment before tapping the ball with its tail. Caught.

A Psyduck sat alone on a rock, rubbing its temples. Rei sighed and sat beside it, gently pressing some acupressure points on its head. Psyduck let out a relieved sigh, the tension in its body fading. It looked up at him with wide eyes before suddenly hugging his leg. "Alright, alright. You can come too."

Five Slowpokes lay motionless near the shore, staring blankly at the water. Rei nudged it. No reaction. He sighed, picking it up and carrying with his superpower "You're coming too, lazy one." After a full minute, the Slowpokes finally blinked in understanding.

With that, Rei left the forest with new companions. But his day was far from over.

Later that evening, Rei wore a black rope and a mankey mask as he made his way to Sandal City's underground Pokémon market.

He strolled through the bustling marketplace, scanning the different stalls. The air was filled with the sounds of merchants shouting out prices, trainers bargaining, and Pokémon making soft noises from their cages.

Rei entered the auction hall, where a large crowd had gathered. The auctioneer clapped his hands to signal the next sale.

"Next up—high-quality Miltank and a rare batch of Paldean Tauros! These Pokémon come from a premium breeder's farm! After the farmer's death they are being sold by his children"

Rei leaned forward slightly. Perfect, just what I needed to expend the products produce on my farm.

Bidding started, and a few wealthy trainers raised their cards. Rei calmly lifted his own.

After some bid, Rey won the bids. Within minutes, the auctioneer declared Rei the winner. "Sold to the trainer in mankey's mask"

With the auction done, Rei decided to check the smaller stalls, hoping to find useful Pokémon for his farm.

At one of the stalls, an old man was selling a small group of Combee. Rei's eyes immediately locked onto a rare female Combee with a green qualification.

"Ah, you have a sharp eye, young man!" the old man chuckled. "That Combee's special. But it won't come cheap."

Rei folded his arms. "How much?"

"250,000 Pokédollars."

Rei raised an eyebrow. "That's too much. 150,000."

The old man shook his head. "Do you know how rare a female Combee is? 200,000, and that's my final offer. Ill give you some male combees too"

Rei thought for a moment before nodding. "Deal." He handed over the money and received the Combee's Pokéball.

After that rei continue walking and met a middle-aged woman who ran a small stall selling Smoliv. The smoliv are in cages.

"Oh, a young trainer! Interested in some Smoliv? They produce high-quality oil."

Rei picked up one of the Smoliv, feeling its energy. "How much?"

"50,000 each."

"I'll take all of them for 400,000."

The woman hesitated, then smiled. "Alright, you drive a hard bargain!"

Rei smiled under his mankey mask as he added the nine Smoliv to his collection.

The Rei met a fruit vendor who was selling Applin, the tiny Dragon/Grass-type Pokémon. The applin are sold on a a small apple tree.

"These little guys are very rare and hard to come by, it took me a whole week to collect them."

Rei picked up five appels with applin in them. "100,000 for five"

The vendor "No 30.000 for each"

Rei "Okay 150.000"

Finally, Rei approached a stall selling selling Spinarak.

"Spinarak silk is valuable," the breeder explained. "I've got a batch here for 70,000 each."

Rei glanced at the small spiders spinning silk. "I'll take five for 250,000."

The breeder sighed, rubbing his forehead. "You're robbing me blind, kid... but fine!"

With that, Rei had secured everything he needed.

After buying the pokemon, Rei got followed by some people. These people became snacks for his mimikyu.

When Rei arrived back in Ester Village, he immediately set to work integrating the new Pokémon into his ecological park.

The Combees immediately started pollinating the orchard. He gave themsome pokeblocks and gave a special pokeblock for the female combee so it can hopefully evolve faster. Rei already prepared a space for them to build their hive.

The Smoliv settled into a small olive field, producing high-quality oil.

The Applin made their homes in the fruit trees, preparing to evolve.

The Spinarak were placed in a controlled silk production area.

The Miltank and the Paldean Tauros were introduced to the grazing fields, ensuring fresh milk and strong work Pokémon.

Standing at the entrance of his farm, Rei stretched his arms.

"With this, my ecological park is one step closer to self-sufficiency."
