My Pokémon Story of Seasons

North of Chicory Village, after passing through a grove of trees and a chicory path, you will see the town.

The place is called Wind-Swept Town. It may not be the most prosperous town in the Almia region, but it is certainly the place most favored by the wind.

Every household has a windmill installed; here, wind power is an inexhaustible energy gift from nature.

To the east of the town lies the Ranger School, where countless young boys and girls learn knowledge and hone their skills to eventually become qualified Rangers, striving to protect the bond between humans and Pokémon.

To the west of the town lies a windswept forest, and to the south of the forest are a popular beach and a windswept hill, which have long attracted many tourists with their beautiful scenery.

In the very heart of the town stands the city's landmark building.

That is the patrolman's base in Fengrao Town.

From the outside, it looks like a giant greenhouse, with the top covered by various green plants and the walls all made of transparent tempered glass.

The advantage of this is that it allows citizens to see the hardworking and reliable patrolmen at any time.

If you encounter any difficulties, you can ask the rangers for help!

This is common knowledge in the Armenian region.

"I'm back!"

A girl walked through the sensor door into the base lobby and called out to the receptionist.

"Patrolman Renmei, newspaper delivery complete!"

"Tear!" shouted the lively Patchlitz on her shoulder as well.

Team leader Guanglang, who was chatting with the staff at the front desk, turned around and looked at the new junior with a smile.

"Oh, you're back."

When Guanglang walked up to Renmei, his burly figure looked like an elephant standing in front of a little rabbit compared to Renmei.

"Good morning, Captain!" Renmei respectfully gave a standard patrolman's salute.

Patchlitz tried to imitate her by raising his little paws, but almost slipped off her shoulder and had to grab her collar to steady himself.

Guanglang laughed heartily and waved his hand: "No need to be so reserved!"

By the way, did you leave a copy of the *Almia Times* for Chuangyi? He seemed to have said he wanted to keep it as a keepsake.

"I'll keep it!" Renmei said with a smile, taking out a brand new copy of the Times. Chuangyi was her classmate who graduated in the same year. The two had known each other for a long time, so she naturally knew each other's preferences very well.

"By the way, is Chuangyi still not back? Wasn't he out patrolling the forest?"

When Renmei asked this question, Guanglang suddenly realized why Chuangyi hadn't returned yet.

"Could it be that he's slacking off again?" Renmei speculated kindly.

No sooner had the words left his mouth than the sound of an automatic door opening behind him was heard, and a young man, looking travel-worn, rushed in.

"I'm back!"

Chuangyi was panting heavily, with fine beads of sweat on his forehead, clearly having run all the way back.

Behind him was another Patchlitz, panting heavily. The stripes on its forehead were longer than those on Hitomi's, so it appeared to be male.

"What happened?" Guanglang crossed his arms and looked serious.

Chuang Yi took a breath and began to recount his encounter in the wind-swept forest.

When it was mentioned that a pink Pokémon had appeared in the spatial rift, everyone in the hall was visibly taken aback.

"After that, I fainted next to the waterfall, and when I woke up, I immediately returned to base..."

I don't know where that Pokémon went; I think it's probably still somewhere in the forest.

After listening to Chuang Yi's report, Guanglang closed his eyes, pondered for a moment, and then spoke.

"Thank you for your hard work. Go back to your dorm and tidy up first. You don't need to worry about this for now."

"Yes!" Chuang Yi bowed and turned to walk into the base.

"Oh right, Souichi, this is today's newspaper." Hitomi quickly handed him the newspaper, and Souichi nodded before returning to his dormitory.

"A mysterious Pokémon in the rift... It's worth investigating."

As Guanglang was pondering this, the base gate suddenly opened again.

This time, a tall, thin man walked in, looking nervous.

"Y-hello..." The man looked timid, and his voice was so soft it was almost like a mosquito's buzz.

Guanglang snapped out of his daze and stepped forward, saying, "Welcome! Is there anything wrong? Please tell us!"

"Eek!" Mr. Da was clearly startled, but fortunately, Renmei, who was good at observing, quickly came up and pulled the captain behind her.

"Sorry, our captain isn't really aware of his appearance~" Renmei smiled kindly, tiptoed, and patted Gulang's muscular arm. "Excuse me, sir, is there anything I can help you with?"

Suddenly teased by his juniors, Guanglang touched his fierce face in grievance and silently took a half step back.

"Um..." The old man rubbed his fingers together, his voice rising slightly, "I'm from Chicory Village. My family's big milk jug is missing. Please help me find it!"

"Please don't rush, speak slowly." Renmei pulled Mr. Da to the front desk, and the staff began to record Mr. Da's request.

"Last night, one of my big milk dogs suddenly broke through the fence and ran away, and we still haven't found it. Please help me."

After confirming the details of the request, the staff used the computer to publish the request in the system.

"Roger that! Ranger Hitomi, mission accomplished!"

Renmei playfully struck her signature pose, then grabbed Mr. Da's arm and rushed out the door.

"Patchlitz, let's go!"

Renmei, along with her partner Pachilitz, followed Mr. Big through the Chicory Trail toward Chicory Village.

Sunlight filtered through the leaves, casting dappled shadows on the path. Pachilis jumped excitedly on Renmei's shoulders, occasionally letting out a "squeak" sound.

"Mr. Big, could you tell me in detail what happened when Big Milk Tank went missing?" Renmei asked as she walked.

Mr. Da wiped the sweat from his forehead: "Around ten o'clock last night, I heard some noise from the ranch."

When I got there, I saw that the fence had been smashed open with a big hole, and the big milk can was gone…”

"Have any other large milk tanks shown any unusual reactions?"

"Two more escaped this morning, but the owner of Chicory Wood Hall sent people out to look for them. I don't know if they'll be able to find them..."

……

When we returned to the Big Milk Tank Ranch, the fence had been repaired, and the two Big Milk Tanks that had run out in the morning had settled down in the ranch.

The old man breathed a sigh of relief, then saw his wife emerge from the barn, her eyes filled with a kind look…

Renmei, who was good at reading people, immediately sensed something was wrong and made an excuse to slip away.

"I'll definitely find it today! Leave it to me!" With that, he left without looking back.

Not long after, Renmei heard the old man's voice begging for mercy from behind, and unconsciously quickened her pace...

……

Meanwhile, in the fairytale ranch.

When Tong Hua took Xiangshi and Mumu to the ranch, they immediately discovered many places that needed repair.

"The fences around the grassland are mostly old, and the Pokémon houses and barns will basically all have to be demolished and rebuilt."

After all, it has been abandoned for too long, and even water and electricity are not connected. It would probably take several more years to fully renovate it.

Most importantly, can you really manage such a large ranch by yourself?

After hearing what Xiang Shi said, Tong Hua's eyes hardened.

"I can do it. This fairytale ranch is my home, and the home of my Pokémon. Even if it takes years, I will live with them."

Just then, a giant milk tank rolled towards them from a distance. Mumu was so frightened that she hid behind an acorn, only to see Tong Hua slowly extend a hand and easily block the giant milk tank.

"Miloo~" The big milk can licked Tong Hua's palm affectionately.

Tong Hua smiled slightly and spoke to Xiang Shi again.

"Mr. Acorn, could you please redesign it for me? I can handle the construction myself! That way... it should be cheaper, right?"

Tong Hua currently only earns 3000 Alliance Coins a day from Moo Moo Fresh Milk. After deducting the 11 in savings, she still needs to set aside some money to buy food...

The budget is really tight...
