Pokémon Ranch Story

"Only new trainers can enter now, and there are quite a few rare Pokémon inside!"

During the conversation, the other party brought out the cappuccino, saying, "Please enjoy!"

"Thank you."

After thanking her, Xia Mu picked up her coffee and took a sip; it tasted quite good.

"Lili??"

The foam squirrel on the shoulder curiously poked its head out and sniffed the air.

The bitter taste made her frown deeply.

"Want a taste?"

"Li~"

The foamy squirrel shook its head; it definitely wouldn't taste good, and it wouldn't fall for that trick.

After having a cup of coffee to perk himself up and getting the information he wanted, Xia Mu flagged down a car on the roadside and headed to the city center.

We stopped at a tall building not far from the Luna City Gym; Karune's studio was right there.

Five minutes later, Xia Mu came downstairs looking dejected.

Unfortunately, Karuni had just finished filming a movie and wasn't at the studio, so he came up empty-handed.

Walking down the streets of Miare, the foam squirrel perched on his shoulder looked around curiously.

He was about to go back, but the foamy squirrel wanted to wander around. "Lili~"

With a flick of his little hand, the foam squirrel let out a delighted cry and tugged at Xia Mu's hair to show him.

"I saw it, I saw it." Xia Mu picked up the foam squirrel from his shoulder and put it in his arms, then tapped his forehead in exasperation and walked toward the shop.

It's a barbershop.

A Pokémon is a must-have in any barbershop.

Dorimia, the Poodle Pokémon.

What caught the bubble squirrel's attention was a star-shaped Dorimia, which looked exceptionally cute and very eye-catching.

"Welcome to the private salon!"

The barber greeted us warmly, his eyes immediately fixed on the foam squirrel.

"What an adorable Pokémon! It would be even prettier if it were dressed up a little."

"Huh!?"

(real!)

"Show-off~" Xia Mu poked the foam squirrel with her finger, but still put it down.

Of course, it wasn't just the Foam Squirrel; Morbeko, Meowth, and Galar Meowth were also released.

"I'll also help take care of their fur."

"no problem!"

The barber was enthusiastic; four Pokémon would be a big business opportunity.

There's a whole bunch of Poké Balls around its waist, along with fluffy Pokémon like Litten and Alolan Meowth.

They don't like being touched, so Xia Mu didn't let them out to avoid causing trouble.

The four little foam squirrels lay down, enjoying a full fur grooming treatment, and made contented purring sounds.

Looking at myself in the mirror, my slightly long hair was getting in the way.

Cutting it shorter will also prevent the foam squirrels from constantly pulling on it.

After getting her hair cut, Xia Mu waited and waited, and unknowingly fell asleep.

When he woke up, he saw four sweet and soft Pokémon looking at him.

Seeing that he had woken up, they all rushed into his arms.

Touching them with my palms, I realized how different they are after being cared for.

Holding the foam squirrel in your arms is like holding a cloud, so gentle and soft.

The fur felt incredibly smooth to the touch, and the tail fur, a key area for maintenance, became exceptionally fluffy.

I pressed my face against the foam squirrel's little belly and took a deep breath; it smelled especially good today, with a light berry scent.

The Morubek's tricolor fur is so neatly groomed that it's a godsend for people with obsessive-compulsive disorder.

The black and brown parts are glossy, while the pale yellow parts are fluffy and feel warm to the touch with a velvety texture.

With a pair of bright eyes, she looks exceptionally energetic; once her front teeth grow in, she'll be even more perfect.

The ordinary cat has a light yellow coat that is neatly groomed, with each strand gleaming with a healthy sheen.

When you run your hand along it, the hair will slide off with the force, giving it a very special feel.

Galar Meow has a thick coat of fur, which made it look dirty from playing in the fields or on the beach.

Xia Mu cleaned them, but could only remove surface impurities.

Now, after being professionally groomed, the dark brown fur has a nice sheen with specks of silver, and the volume is just right.

It's like wearing a plastered coat, with the edges trimmed, making it look exceptionally neat. It feels smoother than silk, making you want to stroke it.

The four little ones surrounded him, snuggling against him.

Xia Mu thoroughly enjoyed the different textures of the fur, and her eyes sparkled as she looked at them; the money was well spent.

The foam squirrels enjoyed it, and so did Xia Mu.

Although it can only last for a few days, once they return to the ranch and run around for a few days, it won't have this effect anymore.

At least he got to enjoy it, giving each of them a little rub.

After paying, Xia Mu didn't take them back; instead, he kept them with him.

He also bought a set of tools and supplies for grooming the Pokémon's fur, but he had to do it himself for Alolan Meowth and Litten.

He had one perched on his shoulder, another in his arms, and two kittens following him around. He couldn't wait to show off his adorable little creatures to others.

As she walked along, she attracted the attention of many passersby, and some even came over to take pictures, which gave Xia Mu plenty of emotional value.

His mentality is similar to that of a fisherman who has caught a big fish and is strolling along the street.

After wandering around for a while, he finally brought the Meowths back. As he was about to retrieve the Poké Balls in the suburbs, Lizard jumped out first.

Seeing the jealous look on Xiaoxiao's face, Xia Mu still rode on the motorcycle lizard, pointed in a direction, and then returned to the ranch.

Chapter 135 Arriving Home, Symbiotic Relationship

They walked along Route 13, passed the Carlos Power Plant, crossed the City of Wings, and returned to the ranch in about an hour.

"Got home!"

"Gah~"

(Two little red flowers!)

The lizard reminded Xia Mu and reached out its paw to paw at him.

"Don't rush!" Xia Mu patted it to comfort it. "Let's go inside first. We still need to do a big clean-up later."

"Gah!"

The lizard answered sullenly and followed behind Xia Mu, the two of them crossing the ranch gate.

After a week away from home and left unattended, the ranch was overgrown with weeds, the roads were covered in dust, and you could still see the footprints of the Fire Lions walking back and forth.

"Lili!"

The foamy squirrel scratched at Xia Mu in frustration, then jumped off his shoulder, its fluffy tail acting like a broom to sweep the road.

"Hey, hey, no!"

I reached out and picked up the foam squirrel. Its fur, which I had just taken care of, hadn't been smelling and soft for more than a few days, so I couldn't get it dirty.

"Lili~"

The foam squirrel struggled to jump down.

"We can just let the Sonic Dragon blow some air on the road later. How about Foam Squirrel and I help clean the room?"

The foam squirrel quietly agreed and nodded in agreement.

Fortunately, before leaving, they paved the way with a group of Pokémon, making it very convenient to travel to various places.

After walking around, we arrived at the ranch cabin.

Three little lions chased and played on the lawn, while a pair of fire lions snuggled together not far away.

The male Flame Lion is licking the female Flame Lion's fur, looking very affectionate.

"Cough cough!"

Hearing the sound, the Flame Lion looked over.

Noticing Xia Mu on the road, Fire Lion awkwardly greeted him, stood up, and let out a roar.

"You guys play, I didn't see anything." Xia Mu waved his hand and turned to walk towards the cave.

"Lili..."

(I didn't see it either...) The foam squirrel covered its eyes with its little hands and peeked through its fingers.

"Kids shouldn't look at this, or they might get a sty."

Covering the foam squirrel's eyes, Xia Mu walked away, leaving plenty of space.

Just as they left, the female fire lion angrily slapped the male fire lion with her paw, stood up, and walked out of the ranch.

The little lion cubs, who were playing nearby, happily followed the female fire lion.

Just as we reached the cave, the Noisy Dragon and the two little Buzzbats came out on their own.

The Sonic Dragon nuzzled Xia Mu and sent an ultrasonic call into the cave to the little diamonds.

As for the little buzzing bats, after Xia Mu petted them, they hurriedly ran into the cave.

Seven days away from home? You must have some kind of cunning eye!

They also want to evolve...

Xia Mu waited at the entrance for a moment, and then saw several small diamonds hopping and skipping out from the depths of the cave.

Upon seeing the Soundwave Dragon, the little diamonds surrounded him and presented the gems they had collected to the Soundwave Dragon leader.

The Noisy Dragon looked down and took a closer look; it particularly liked the sparkling gem.

"Hum throat~"

(Send them all to my lair.)

"Mishi!"

(Okay, boss.)

They stopped a small diamond and had it lead them to where Diancie slept, while the rest followed the Sonic Dragon to its lair.

After being away from home for a week, the Little Diamond Underground Kingdom has undergone a lot of changes.

The road became wider, and the cave walls were inlaid with various luminous gems.

"what!"

Natsuki was surprised and moved closer.

Regardless of the type of gemstone, the light it emits has a touch of pink luster, and the deeper the gemstone is, the greater its influence becomes.

As he approached the place where Diancie slept, only pink diamonds remained as gems on the cave walls.

"Mr. Natsuki, you're back."

"Hmm!" Xia Mu greeted the elder with small diamond fragments and then approached the pink diamond that Diancie had transformed into.
