Pokémon Ranch Story

Holding Morbeco in his arms, he had no interest in watching the TV, and frowned in annoyance.

If you accidentally shave Lazy Sheep's head completely, he'll definitely come looking for him when he wakes up.

Xia Mu was wondering how to make amends.

"Prepare a custom-made dish?"

it should be OK.

Given Lazy Sheep's personality, the presence of delicious food allows him to choose to forget about it.

What ingredients should we use?

After a moment's thought, his large hand habitually kneaded Morubek's cheek, sending tingling, crackling electric currents through him.

A large lightbulb appeared next to Xia Mu's head; he had an idea.

How could I have forgotten that thing!

"Go have fun! I'll make you a delicious cake later."

Put Morbeco down and let it go out to play.

"Rube~"

Upon hearing that there was cake, Morubek's eyes lit up, and drool dripped from the corner of his mouth.

She's a little foodie too!

Ask Morpeko to call Alcremie, and Natsuki gets up and goes to the storage room.

Where did you put it?

The storage room was cluttered with all sorts of things, and the cats liked to put the 'treasures' they found outside in there, making it a lot of searching for Xia Mu before he finally found what he was looking for.

Open the exquisite little wooden box, and inside is a feather shrouded in lightning.

Zapdos Feathers

Its main purpose is to summon Zapdos to help, but Natsuki thinks that's a waste. He just had an interesting idea.

They picked up Zapdos feathers and harvested some fresh hay in the pasture.

Place the feathers on it and manipulate them with your hands.

This allows every blade of grass to come into close contact with the feathers, acquiring the scent of the Zapdos.

After a while, faint electric arcs were seen spreading across the surface of the grass.

Natsuki was delighted and opened the panel to view the details.

[Mama Hay: Hay that has been imbued with the scent of Zapdos; some Pokémon will really like it.]

It worked!

The sheep would love electrified hay.

As the legends say, every part of a Pokémon is valuable; even a single feather can have such a wonderful use.

He also wondered if he could plant the feathers in the soil and use their electrical energy to change the properties of the soil, so that he wouldn't have to worry about the lambs not having enough pasture to eat.

With her execution at its peak, Xia Mu first brought some hay to the lambs to taste, and received positive feedback.

He called a heavy mudslinger from the stable and had it help divide a pasture.

Dig a hole in the center of the lawn and put the Zapdos feather in it.

The rest is up to time to see if his idea works. Let's check back in a couple of days.

Looking at the sky, it was getting late.

Lazy Sheep will wake up in a while, so he quickly goes back to make a dish to apologize.

He went into the kitchen, where Alcremie was waiting for him.

"Mama~"

With a spirited chirp, Alcremie couldn't wait to make a cake with Natsuki.

“You’re so enthusiastic,” Xia Mu said, tying on her apron. “Let’s get started.”

First, wash and drain the hay, then chop it into fine pieces.

Flour, milk, honey, and eggs are added and stirred gradually until a smooth, lump-free batter is formed.

Add the prepared grass powder last and gently stir until evenly mixed to avoid affecting the texture of the finished product.

Fill the oven 80% full with the prepared batter to prevent it from overflowing as it expands.

Set the oven temperature to 180℃ and bake for 20 minutes.

While waiting, Xia Mu asked Alcremie to prepare various flavors of cream to put on the cake later.

At the same time, he is also making regular cakes without adding any grass bits.

Several heads peeked out of the kitchen window, and a group of small Pokémon, led by Foam Squirrel, sniffed with anticipation.

Why was he leaning out of the window instead of at the door?

Naturally, it was because the spot had been taken by a motor lizard, and it was lying there eagerly waiting for its meal.

Amused, Xia Mu took the grass cake out of the oven.

A faint scent of fresh grass wafted through the air, smelling exceptionally pleasant.

【

Grass Cake (C): Made primarily with pasture grass containing a faint lightning power, and topped with soft cream, it is a favorite among some Pokémon.

Food Effects: Moderate HP recovery; slightly increases Electric-type energy within the Pokémon after consumption.

】

The cooking result is pretty good; replacing some of the ingredients should further improve the quality.

Xia Mu put the other different flavored batters into the oven, called Motor Lizard to help keep an eye on them, and then took the grass cake to find Lazy Sheep.

As soon as we reached the stable, we could already hear Lazy Sheep sobbing.

It cried louder and louder.

The remaining four lambs surrounded Lazy Sheep, and Happy Sheep was comforting him.

Lazy Sheep's snot and tears got all over it.

When Xia Mu appeared, the lambs surrounded her.

Xia Mu walked over to Lazy Sheep and squatted down, saying apologetically, "I'm sorry, Lazy Sheep."

"Meow!"

Lazy Sheep looked up, his attention completely drawn to the grass cake.

The memory of being stripped naked was instantly forgotten, and it stopped crying, rubbing its body against Xia Mu.

"Greedy!" Xia Mu flicked her forehead and laughed, "You can't be angry after eating my little cake!"

"Yeah~"

(Mmm! Natsuki, hurry up and slurp it up for me.)

When the grass cake was placed on the grass, Lazy Sheep pounced out with a "baa!" and buried his face in it, eating it in big bites until his face was covered in cream.

"Meow!"

(Delicious, so delicious! Chewing sound)

Seeing that it liked it very much, Xia Mu was also happy.

She immediately called over the other four lambs. Xia Mu would never show favoritism; they each had their own grass cake, and the flavors were all different.

After finishing the entire cake, Lazy Sheep licked the cream off his mouth with his tongue and lay down on the grass with a look of pure enjoyment.

As for being stripped naked, it doesn't matter!

Of all the things in the world, eating is the most important.

After confirming that Lazy Sheep was no longer angry, Xia Mu said goodbye to the sheep.

He didn't forget to bring the quilts that were drying in front of the hut into the house; the quilts were warm and had a sun-kissed smell.

Actually, that's not the case; it's the smell of dead mites.

Before going downstairs, he called out to the Firefly on the rooftop from the window to eat, and held Mini Fu in his palm.

Dinner tonight was simple: several large cakes.

The Pokémon all loved it, and Alcremie was especially happy.

By the time Xia Mu and the Kangaskhan had finished their dinner, it was getting dark and quite late.

The first day back at the ranch is over.

Before going to sleep, he would go and check on the other Pokémon: Noivern, Nombat, Mudstalker, Mareep, and Flabberee, all of which were staying obediently in their nests.

Oh, right! And there's the wooden owl under the eaves.

His nest was right across from the noisy bird's nest.

Nighttime is when he is active, so Xia Mu entrusted the ranch to him.

He yawned and went upstairs to sleep.

The room contained only foam squirrels and Morbeco.

It seems that Litten went to the silo after dinner, Alcremie likes to stay in the kitchen, Natsuki made a little nest for it in the cupboard, and Ball the Sea Lion is in the lake.

Holding the soft, fragrant foam squirrel in her arms, with the little guy's melodious singing in her ears, Xia Mu yawned and closed her eyes.

"good night!"

"Mobe~"

"Lili..."

Chapter 139 Visit, Jealousy

He's been away from home for a week and has a lot to do, so he can't be lazy and sleep in today.

I got up early and had breakfast with my Pokémon.

He called out to Motolizard, grabbed the gifts he had bought from Alola, and headed out.

They first visited Mr. and Mrs. Ding Zhi, and Xia Mu's sudden visit really startled them.

Before leaving, Xia Mu thought of something and commanded the Motor Lizard to stop.

"Brother Ding Zhi, do you know anyone nearby who can build greenhouses?"

“A greenhouse? Grandpa Fu’s ranch has one. You can go and ask him when you have time.”

"Thank you!"

After saying goodbye to them, Xia Mu headed to Sara City.

They presented gifts to Jimmy and Cocoble, and of course, they didn't forget Corinne's.

She had two gifts, one from Xia Mu and the other from Serena.

When they went out to play, the two little girls still remembered each other and brought each other gifts.

"Brother Xia Mu, is Alola fun?"

"Are there a lot of Pokémon?"

"When can Serena come over to play? Can we visit your ranch again?"

"..."

With Korni's questions constantly ringing in his ears, Xia Mu felt a headache coming on.

After answering a few questions, he said he needed to give gifts to others and told his motorcycle lizard to leave quickly.

Oh my god, this girl is at that age where everyone hates her.
