The psychic sanctuary hummed softly as Ashwin inspected the sprouting berries. Four varieties—Oran, Sitrus, Pecha, and Lum—had taken root beautifully, promising a quicker harvest than he had dared hope.

But as the berries flourished, Ashwin's gaze shifted beyond the sanctuary walls. The farm was bustling with more Pokémon than ever before—rescued starters, wild catches, and the psychic colony recently relocated to the grotto.
[System Notification: Population Management Challenge Initiated][Objective: Develop and implement a sustainable living plan to balance Pokémon numbers with available resources][Hint: Consider expanding habitats, organizing schedules, and improving feeding systems]
Balancing the rising population while expanding his botanical resources felt like juggling flames—but Ashwin welcomed the challenge.
He began drafting layouts for expanded habitats, assigning teams to monitor feeding routines, and mapping out rest areas to reduce stress among the Pokémon.
"We need to keep everyone healthy and happy," he murmured, "or none of this will work."
His Pokémon companions gathered around, sensing the weight of the task ahead but trusting their trainer's resolve.
As Ashwin set to work, the farm pulsed with new life—and new possibilities.
The farm's rhythm changed. Ashwin found himself juggling more than just planting and harvesting—the increasing Pokémon population demanded careful attention. Feeding schedules had to be meticulously planned, habitats expanded, and exercise routines organized to keep everyone balanced and healthy.

With the help of his trusted Pokémon, Ashwin began setting up new enclosures tailored for different species' needs. The Combee and Vespiquen led patrols to keep order, while the psychic Pokémon helped monitor and calm restless groups.
Yet, amid the bustle, an unsettling feeling gnawed at Ashwin. Shadows seemed to shift just beyond sight—fleeting glimpses caught in the corner of his eye. His Pokémon twitched uneasily, alert but silent.
One evening, while checking the outer boundary, Ashwin noticed a faint glow emanating from the forest's edge. A sudden chill swept over him, and the hairs on his neck stood on end.

The farm's peace was now tinged with an eerie tension.
Ashwin knew this presence was watching—not hostile, but curious. Whatever it was, it was waiting for the right moment to reveal itself.
Until then, Ashwin's duty was clear: protect his Pokémon, nurture their growth, and prepare for whatever shadow loomed on the horizon.
