My Pokémon Story of Seasons

Chapter 175 Candy and Evolution

A few days passed in the blink of an eye.

Spring of the 112th year of the Alliance Calendar, May 9th.

Tong Hua was engrossed in leveling up, Pink Celebi was trying hard to recover its power, and the other Pokémon were all going about their daily lives. Everything was progressing in an orderly manner.

At the construction site, the main framework of the house has long been completed. The construction of the new house has now reached the stage of enclosure and pipeline laying.

After that, interior decoration and the installation of various items will be carried out.

Judging by the timeline, I should be able to move in around the end of the month.

During this time, Tong Hua was in a good mood. Besides busy leveling up in the kitchen every day, she would occasionally go to the construction site to bring water and food to the foreman and construction team.

After entering May, the most suitable crop to grow on the ranch is still strawberry. The forest tortoise and the worm take care of the fields and occasionally cultivate some new vegetable plots.

The Pokémon on the ranch are doing well, and the two little guys, Minifly and Saltstone, are even showing signs of evolving soon.

In order to further expand production, Tong Hua also plans to further develop the ranch.

It was the weekend, and Tong Hua went out early in the morning with several baskets, along with Tuotuo Yin, Tian Wu Ni, Mini Fu, and Yan Shi Bao.

As for the ranch and the Happy Dessert Shop, they were left to be managed by the other Pokémon.

"It's been a long time since I last visited him. I wonder how Grandpa Yang is doing lately."

The last time Tong Hua visited Sunshine Ranch was before her hot spring trip last month, when she brought Grandpa Yang a basket of snacks.

For the past month, basically only messenger birds have stopped by Sunshine Ranch to visit while delivering goods.

No wonder he sometimes takes a long time to return after delivering goods. This was only because Tong Hua secretly overheard the messenger bird's thoughts using his waveguide power.

Besides Grandpa Yang's house, sometimes the village chief, the rangers from the Fengrao Town base, and all sorts of other guests would invite him to stay for a meal or to watch TV.

However, compared to the foam squirrel and the pickpocket cat who frequently steal items from the store, it seems a bit too well-behaved.

"Ever since I awakened my Aura power, I've always had a thing for eavesdropping on the thoughts of Pokémon—"

But you know what, sometimes it's quite interesting to know some of the Pokémon's little secrets.

Tong Hua, holding Mini Fu and Salt Stone Treasure, sat on Tuotuo Earthworm, the corners of her mouth unconsciously turning up.

The worm crawls with a row of body hairs, moving at an extremely fast speed while maintaining a smooth motion like a train.

"Worm!"

He was overjoyed to be able to return to Sunshine Ranch.

Sweetie stood lightly on Tuotuo's back, humming happily, "Ah-ma~"

Everyone at Sunshine Ranch must miss us too!

Miniature Fu swayed gently in Tong Hua's arms, its leaves releasing a unique olive fragrance: "Fu fu!"

Salt Stone Treasure was also very excited because Tong Hua had promised him that after he evolved, he would buy a few more Salt Stone Treasures from Sunshine Ranch to raise at Fairy Tale Ranch.

That way, he can reunite with his old friends. And he can become their leader, just like Ah Chu did with the other three big milk tanks.

Tuotuo speeds up, and the outline of Sunny Ranch soon comes into view.

From afar, Tong Hua saw that Grandpa Yang was shearing several sheep, including Mare and Woolst, on the grass outside the ranch.

"Grandpa Yang!" Tong Hua called out from afar.

Hearing the shouts, Grandpa Yang put down his electric shaver and turned around in surprise: "Tong Hua, and Tuo Tuo Yin. You're here."

Grandpa Yang looked much healthier than before, which was probably due to the various nourishing snacks and drinks that Tong Hua had been sending him over the past few days.

Not only are people more energetic, but they also stand up straight, and it seems that they no longer need a cane or reading glasses.

He wiped the sweat from his brow and greeted Tong Hua and the Pokémon with a smile as they approached.

"Long time no see, Tuotuo Yin! How have you been lately?"

The worm happily touched Grandpa Yang's hand with its body hair, making a cheerful buzzing sound: "Wow!"

"He said he's doing very well!" Tong Hua smiled as she jumped off the worm, still carrying several food baskets in her hands.

"Haha, I can tell too."

Grandpa Yang laughed heartily, patting Tuotuo's sturdy body: "You certainly look like you're doing well. Tong Hua must have been feeding you a lot; you've gotten much stronger!"

"Oh my!" "Fou!" "Knock knock!"

Sweet Wu Ni and the others also lingered around Grandpa Yang. To them, wasn't Grandpa Yang family?

"Haha, you're here too. You all look to be doing well." Grandpa Yang could tell at a glance that Mini Fu and Salt Stone Treasure had been raised exceptionally well by Tong Hua and were already on the verge of evolution.

Tong Hua watched with a smile as everyone interacted with Grandpa Yang. In his heart, he had long regarded Grandpa Yang as his own family.

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Tong Hua finally revealed the reason for her visit.

"Oh, the batch of candy ornaments for the Little Fairy Milk evolution that you ordered before, right? They've arrived, they've arrived. I'll pick them up for you right away."

Grandpa Yang led Tong Hua and her group into the ranch. This batch of sugar ornaments was something Tong Hua had ordered from Grandpa Yang shortly after she bought Little Fairy Milk last time.

Tong Hua originally planned to make it herself, but she was afraid that the finished product would not be right. So she thought of first getting a batch of samples from the Galar region, the birthplace of Little Fairy Milk, so that she could refer to these samples when making her own.

"Let me look for it—"

Grandpa Yang rummaged through the house and soon pulled out a beautifully packaged high-end box.

The box contained a set of seven candy ornaments, each of which could transform Little Fairy Milk into a different flavor.

"This is the best quality batch of sugar ornaments available for purchase; it took quite a bit of effort to transport it to Almia."

Tong Hua carefully opened the box, and saw seven exquisite candy ornaments sparkling in the sunlight, each exuding a unique sweet aroma.

Sweetie leaned closer curiously, her eyes sparkling as she looked at the beautiful ornaments.

"So beautiful!" Sweet Wuni couldn't help but exclaim.

"Fufu!" "Knock knock!"

Mini Fu and Salt Stone also gathered around, all attracted by the exquisite sugar ornaments.

Tong Hua picked up one of the candy ornaments, and the material information panel instantly appeared in front of her.

[Strawberry Candy Ornament: Quality B, a craft candy shaped like a strawberry. Little Fairy will happily spin around if she carries it.]

I originally just wanted to buy them as a reference so I could make high-quality ones myself. But when I took them out, I found that they were all B-grade?

Why bother making it yourself? Just use it directly!

"By the way, if you're not in a hurry to evolve them after you take them back, remember to put these candy decorations in the refrigerator."

"They're like little fairy milk, they're afraid of heat," Grandpa Yang kindly reminded them.

"Thank you so much!" Tong Hua gratefully accepted the box, which saved him a lot of trouble.

Grandpa Yang nodded: "I have always trusted you to do things right."

However, it's important to remember that evolution is a crucial moment in a Pokémon's life, especially for Pokémon like Sylveon, which have multiple evolutionary paths. Make sure to confirm their own intentions before letting them evolve.

I once saw a male Kirlia that wanted to evolve into Gardevoir during my travels, but the trainer used a Hidden Stone to evolve it into Gallade.

From then on, although the Pokémon appeared to remain unchanged on the surface, an inevitable rift developed between it and its trainer.

Tong Hua nodded seriously: "I understand. Evolution is the Pokémon's own choice, and I will respect the wishes of the little fairies."

He carefully closed the box, his mind already planning how to prepare a special evolution ritual for the little fairy milks.

"It has to be a grand affair, full of ceremony!"

After saying goodbye to Grandpa Yang, Tong Hua carefully carried the candy box on the way back.

After talking a lot about evolution with Grandpa Yang, Mini Fu and Salt Stone Treasure couldn't help but start thinking.

They seem to have entered Fairy Tale Ranch earlier than the Little Fairy Milks, so they should be considered seniors.

Now even the younger generation is evolving, but I'm still stuck in the same place. This won't do!

Mini Fu gently swayed its leaves in Tong Hua's arms, releasing a resolute fragrance: "Fu Fu!"

We also need to strive to evolve!

Salt Stone Treasure swayed back and forth, the snow-white salt layer on its head reflecting the warm sunlight: "Knock knock!"

That's right! We must set an example!

Tong Hua sensed the Pokémon's feelings through the waveguide and said with a gentle smile, "Don't worry, each Pokémon has its own growth pace."

When the time is right, you will naturally evolve in your best condition.

He gently stroked Minif and Saltstone: "So don't rush, we'll take it slow once you're ready. Even if you don't evolve, you're still indispensable members of Fairy Tale Ranch."

Upon hearing this, the two little ones burst into laughter. Sweet Wuni, who was standing to the side, and Tuotuo, who was carrying everyone, also smiled with satisfaction.
