In the dazed eyes of Calyrex and Walking Wake, the cauliflower plant rumbled as it grew, expanding until it reached about the same size as Walking Wake before finally coming to a stop!

『This is simply an “over-spec crop”!』

“Awuu~!” Walking Wake looked toward Calyrex!

After dancing such a strange dance, this kind of thing actually happened!

『Hmm hmm hm! This is my kingly power! Ancient dragon, bear witness!』

『This is the prelude to abundance created by our combined efforts!』

Calyrex proudly lifted its big head, wearing an expression of solemn majesty!

Finally, it had regained some dignity! Now no one could say it was a useless king anymore!

The greatest miracles often arise from absurd beginnings. But it had truly and sincerely engaged in agricultural cultivation, and with the help of the ancient dragon, this entirely new crop had been produced!

Hmm! If this cultivation method were applied to “radishes,” wouldn’t there be an endless supply of giant radishes?!

A look of bliss appeared in Calyrex’s eyes, and it began to hum sweetly and strangely, gradually falling into a delightful fantasy—across the fields of the sky island, massive radishes like small hills were planted, each one giving off a fragrant and sweet scent.

As it looked at the mutated, now-giant blue cauliflower in front of it, a lightbulb also lit up over Walking Wake’s head—sign of a sudden inspiration. It too began to fantasize.

If the “King” had such powerful abilities, then wouldn’t it also be possible to grow “giant Pecha Berries”?

Such large Pecha Berries could be enjoyed all day long with utter joy!

Walking Wake’s eyes rolled, and it nudged Calyrex while letting out a low growl. It was actually trying to “coax” it.

The great… well, let’s just call you the Great King for now! That title seems appropriate!

How about coming with me into the dreams of other Pokémon to gather more special crops that can be cultivated? With the King’s help—what was it the Trainer said—it would be like having the help of a hundred thousand Pokémon!

Calyrex stared blankly for a moment, then after a short bit of thought, became slightly angry! Its cheeks flushed the color of a certain kind of Berry:

『This is utter flattery! Doing such a thing violates the dignity of a monarch in principle!』

Are you asking me to sneak into other Pokémon’s dreams to steal crops? I would never do such a thing!

Coaxing attempt failed spectacularly! Walking Wake felt a bit disappointed, but it didn’t give up—it quickly switched to another approach:

“Awuu~”

Then let’s not gather them. How about we trade crops instead? Tell them that as long as they move near our dream, they can grow gigantic food, and they’ll surely come running. By then, it’ll be easy for us to collect as we please!

That way, it would be a win-win for everyone! The Sky Island could expand, the King could become a diligent farmer who grows abundant crops, and this place could become beautiful and vibrant!

And then, everyone could live happily here!

Calyrex stroked its big head: 『Hmm… your suggestion this time does have some merit.』

If Pokémon came to offer seeds, wouldn’t it be like the times of ancient Galar? It would be a re-creation of the glorious scenes from back then.

In that case, it might not be a bad idea! It would even help me master agricultural skills! And it would gather power of faith.

If those Pokémon saw my kingly abilities, they would surely be deeply grateful!

Having gained Calyrex’s agreement, Walking Wake let out a joyful dragon roar.

Yes! That way I won’t have to run around everywhere. The good things I gather can be handed to the Trainer, and I’ll definitely get praised!

“Awuuu~ (Auto-Pickup Mode Activated~)”

…

In the workshop.

Hikaru gradually awoke from the dream. The long night was over, and the Pokémon had also begun waking from their slumber. Turtwig yawned loudly and was the first to open its eyes!

“Na~”

I feel like I had a really amazing dream!

And even though I did so many things in the dream, I don’t feel tired at all now!

Turtwig began to tell the newly-awakened Lilligant about what happened in the dream, which immediately caught Doublade’s attention. Its two big eyes floated over and glared at Turtwig, showing some discontent!

You all snuck into the dream world again! Hey, why does the dream world seem to be getting more and more interesting, but when I go in, it’s just beatdowns?!

“Dorerei~”

“Nana~”

Because the version got updated.

Lilligant and Turtwig both smiled kindly.

Next time, we’ll definitely let you in! But they really didn’t know how to let more Pokémon enter the dream world. That sort of thing was uncontrollable.

Doublade felt a bit down!

They always say “next time,” but next time never comes!

What about Unown? Didn’t it help with the dream world the first time? Please help this helpless Doublade!

Looking at everyone waking up and chatting animatedly, Hikaru glanced at the items he had brought back.

No Luminous Petal! Because at the very moment Calyrex accelerated the petal’s growth, he was forcibly ejected from the dream. This was an uncontrollable forced awakening—after all, the connection was through Turtwig’s dream, which he couldn’t control.

There were two items in his hand!

Dark Stone Powder and Light Stone Shard! He actually brought out two dream items at once? Maybe because the Light Stone and Dark Stone are naturally strongly connected?

The former could be used as synthesis material in powder crafting, while the latter could be used in Amplifier Box crafting—or even as an “Energy Block” during forging?

Since the Light Stone itself can serve as a fire source, its power-manifested fragments should naturally be able to supply some energy as well.

Hikaru injected his own energy into the fragments and suddenly felt them “activate”!

These fragments seemed to resonate with the Reshiram of the real world, and indeed contained weakened versions of Reshiram’s abilities. The shards carried a unique flame energy, and the more power he poured in, the more intense the “heat energy” they emitted!

“Maybe using the fragments in amplifier box crafting could create a pseudo-Light Stone!”

Hikaru rubbed his chin, thinking of this curious application.

No one ever said that an amplifier box had to be a square-shaped “box”—it could also be created using materials from other Pokémon combined with these fragments to form a prototype amplifier.

If it could recreate the power of Reshiram, then such an item could be used as a powerful enhancement or cultivation tool.

Naturally, the official Light Stone’s function as a “forging fire source” could also be replicated by the imitation. In the end, it’s just about carving special ruin stones, right?

Then, stones with power similar to the fragments… stones with powerful fire attributes, like a “Fire Stone,” or maybe “Volcano Town Stone” or “Flame Orb”?

He recorded the strange idea in his craftsman notebook, deciding to try it later. At that moment, Hikaru suddenly received a strange information update.

[Message from the Dream Workshop.]

Hikaru: “?”

Hadn’t he already left the dream? Why was he still receiving updates from the Dream Workshop? When Walking Wake was in the workshop before, there was no such notification—could this change be due to Calyrex’s involvement?

[Calyrex has settled in your Dream Workshop and begun cultivating crops. It currently only has the most basic farming tools and a few cultivation books. Calyrex will rely on these to start a new life. Can it turn this weedy (✕), bountiful and fertile (✓) land into a prosperous home?]

[The Sky Island where the workshop is located seems full of opportunity. As long as Calyrex is willing to work hard, it might be able to make the dream island thrive. Calyrex and Walking Wake appear to be attempting something.]

[Thanks to their combined efforts, the first fruits of abundance have appeared. Different from common Pecha Berries and such, Calyrex is an outstanding farmer. It and Walking Wake cultivated an entirely new crop and successfully harvested it!]

[Calyrex/Walking Wake have jointly completed a crop-crafting harvest!]

[Mystery Vegetable: Luminous Cauliflower (Giant Crop)!]

[Description: A mysterious crop jointly cultivated by Calyrex and Walking Wake. It originally grew from the special cauliflower on Simisage’s head. After absorbing a Luminous Petal and undergoing catalysis by the two Pokémon, combined with the effect of Calyrex settling on the farm (which induces beneficial mutation in soil and plants), it mutated!]

[With your unique crop cultivation techniques, you can better grow this kind of crop.]

[Gained Knowledge: Dream Agriculture LV1 – Cultivation requirements for crops in dreams will be somewhat relaxed.]

[Calyrex gained Knowledge: Farmer Cultivation LV1 – Increases proficiency with agricultural tools like hoes and watering cans. Gaining experience through crop harvests and animal care.]

[Walking Wake gained Knowledge: Nutrient Water – Because Walking Wake picked up Simisage’s head hair, it obtained Nutrient Water and completed a special watering, gaining the ability to make this type of nutrient water.]

Hikaru: “…?”

How are these two playing Stardew Valley in the dream world?!

Using cauliflower to cultivate Luminous Petals… So that’s how you do it? You two are agricultural masters in every sense!

Maybe you could grow an entire Luminous Series of crops too.

“This is basically an agricultural revolution!”
