My Pokémon Story of Seasons

Chapter 131 The Electric Dragon is Very Powerful

Looking at the old village chief Jack, dressed in a Western cowboy outfit and holding a pipe, Tong Hua's eyes were filled with gratitude.

It all started with the village chief giving him a large milk jug, various seeds, tools, and Jessica's planting notes.

Later on, Tong Hua always got the lowest price for whatever he bought in the village, and some shops even sold to him at a loss.

These are all the results of the village chief's silent support. Without the village chief's funding, Tong Hua could not have developed the ranch into what it is today in just one month.

"What a coincidence, are you here to buy something?"

Mention my name and I'll give you a discount.

Tong Hua smiled and nodded. "I'd like to see if we have any seasonal ingredients. The store is planning to launch a new product, a dessert that is limited in quantity each day and only available for a limited time."

Unfortunately, I've been looking around here for a long time, but I still haven't found the right ingredients.

Upon hearing this, Old Jack, the village chief, raised his thick eyebrows, revealing a "you've come to the right person" expression. He took a puff from his long-extinguished pipe, lowered his voice, and said mysteriously:

"Seasonal? Limited edition? These things at the market aren't good enough. If you really want something good, you have to try your luck at something 'special'."

"?"

Tong Hua was taken aback, not understanding what the village chief meant.

"Could there be a black market in the village?"

"What are you thinking?"

The old village chief raised his pipe and gently tapped Tong Hua's forehead.

"Don't talk nonsense. Our village is a respectable place. There's no such thing as a black market here."

Tong Hua winced in pain and scratched his head sheepishly.

"I'm talking about the large distributors in Fengrao Town, which is where the agricultural products shipped from your ranch every day ultimately go."

"Oh right, so that's one of those tricks." Tong Hua suddenly realized, "Those distributors collect all kinds of fresh agricultural products from various ranches every day. They are backed by the Almia Ranger Alliance, so they can collect any amount of goods."

The goods are usually received every morning and are quickly ordered by upscale restaurants, hotels, or wealthy families in Fengrao Town.

If you're looking for fresh, seasonal ingredients, that's where you should go. Our village market mostly sells processed products imported from other places.

Tong Hua thought about it and realized that it was true. The most common items she saw at the market were packaged processed ingredients and various seasonings.

"Thank you, Village Chief! I'll go take a look now!"

As Tong Hua spoke, she was about to climb into the car.

"Wait!" The village chief quickly grabbed Tong Hua. "It's already afternoon. If you go now, there probably won't be much left. If you want to go, you should go early tomorrow."

Or you could ask the patrolman who goes to your delivery point for a ride.

"yes-"

In the evening, Tong Hua rode his bicycle back to the ranch.

The basket on his bicycle was full of vegetables, all given to him by the village chief.

After meeting the village chief at the market, he was invited to the village chief's house as a guest, and he has only just returned home.

Just then, Tong Hua saw a group of construction workers walking out as soon as she arrived at the ranch entrance.

"Thank you all for your hard work. Is this the end of the day?"

The foreman, who was in charge, saw Tong Hua and came over to greet him warmly.

"Yes, we should call it a day and come back tomorrow morning. We've almost finished digging the foundation today, and we can start laying power lines to the ranch tomorrow."

As for tap water, we will also deliver some large storage tanks tomorrow, and it is expected that water will be supplied by pumping and purifying the water.

Also, it's best to avoid having people or Pokémon go to construction sites recently. Today, a group of Bibarel suddenly came over to watch, but fortunately, it didn't affect the progress of the project.

However, we've temporarily piled the excavated soil there; it could be dangerous if it collapses.

"Okay, I'll tell everyone on the ranch."

Tong Hua watched the foreman and other construction workers leave, then pushed his bicycle into the ranch.

"Trembling!" "Chirp chirp!"

Upon seeing Tong Hua return, the foam squirrel and messenger bird, who had been minding the shop all afternoon, excitedly ran over to greet her.

"Sorry, sorry, I was out for a little while. Is everything alright at the shop?" Tong Hua smiled and stroked the two Pokémon. "Squeak!" The Foam Squirrel proudly puffed out its chest. Even without Tong Hua, they managed the shop's business perfectly.

As a reward for his hard work, it shouldn't matter if he secretly ate a few Baofen (a type of snack)!

Upon hearing what the foamy squirrel said, the messenger bird beside it couldn't help but show a strange expression. It stretched out its wing and quietly wiped away the crumbs from the corner of the foamy squirrel's mouth.

Tong Hua didn't notice anything. He picked up a basket of vegetables from the bicycle basket and walked straight into the kitchen from the dessert shop's platform.

Behind the cabin, our good-natured friend, the leader of the Pokémon Research Team, the visitor from another dimension, and the charging hero Ampharos, is still powering the television.

"Miao Ming—"

The good news is that Green Celebi turned the TV around so that at least the electric dragon outside the window could see the screen.

She has a conscience, but not much.

However, for the electric dragon, who had never been exposed to human technology, watching television was a novel experience that excited him greatly, and it also allowed him to gather information and learn about the world more quickly.

It's important to know that in their world, Pokémon are the dominant species.

Because Pokémon possess a wide variety of abilities, they do not have the need to develop technology.

Their method of information dissemination is still limited to word of mouth and written letters.

No wonder the rabbi is so obsessed with watching the news.

"Fufu~"

The miniature tortoise in the field lay on the tree turtle's back, and the long hours of photosynthesis had given the tortoise a strong smell of sunshine.

It smells so good that you can't help but yawn. It's so refreshing.

"Game".

After a long day's work, the forest tortoise strolled slowly, admiring its accomplishment, before stepping into the irrigation ditch in the field. "Splash!" The water rippled, reflecting the tortoise's contented figure. The cool water washed over its shell, carrying away the day's fatigue.

The forest tortoise carefully controlled the height, preventing the water level from affecting Mini-Fo. Mini-Fo comfortably rolled over, letting out a satisfied groan.

Tong Hua put the vegetables given to her by the village chief into the kitchen storage box. Looking at the peaceful and serene scene outside the window, the corners of her mouth unconsciously turned up.

Even though I'm sometimes busy and sometimes want to be alone, it's still the best to have Pokémon by my side.

He went to the backyard and called out to the hardworking electric dragon, "Electric dragon, take a break! You really don't need to push yourself!"

"Miao Ming"

"And you guys, you've been watching TV all afternoon, give your eyes a rest!"

As Tong Hua spoke, he pressed the power switch on the TV, and the screen went black instantly.

"La wah!" Green Silavi immediately objected and lay on the bed, acting spoiled.

"Look at you guys, I told you to stay at least two meters away from the TV, but you're not even half a meter away!"

From now on, you can only watch TV for two hours a day, and you have to go outside for a short break every half hour!

Tong Hua said firmly, like a worried old father. He put his hands on his hips, looked at the room full of Pokémon that had instantly appeared, his tone was firm, but his eyes were smiling.

"Whoosh—" Green Silavi rolled around on the bed in dissatisfaction, but still obediently floated up.

Pink Celebi blinked and obediently flew out of the window first.

Sweet Wuni and Pickpocket Cat exchanged a glance, and unusually, they didn't argue. They tacitly jumped off the bed one after the other.

"Meow~" The pickpocket cat rubbed against Tong Hua's legs, skillfully acting cute.

The three little fairy milkwomen also floated over, but they preferred Sweet Wuni, which exuded a sweet fragrance.

"Alright, alright, you all go outside and have some fun."

"And please call everyone from the ranch over for me; we'll eat together outside later."

"Meow~" The pickpocket cat, who had been pretending to be well-behaved in front of Tong Hua, obediently ran out first.

"Ah!" Sweet Wuni nodded obediently and skipped outside. Three little fairy bees floated around her, just like the Queen Bee and her six bees.

Electric Dragon was finally free. He shook his slightly sore and numb arms, glanced gratefully at Tong Hua, walked to the ditch, and, imitating the forest turtle, dipped his feet into the water, letting out a comfortable sigh.

"Miao Ming~"

Tong Hua nodded in satisfaction as he watched the Pokémon move about obediently, though somewhat reluctantly.

He turned and went back to the kitchen, intending to use the fresh vegetables the village chief had given him to make a sumptuous dinner, a long-awaited celebration of the new member's arrival.
