Pokémon Ranch Story

Xia Mu spent the entire morning running around outside, and he didn't return to the ranch until almost noon.

As soon as he appeared at the entrance of the ranch, the fire-spotted cat on the silo spotted him first.

She ran to his side and put down what she was holding in her mouth.

It's a tree fruit...

"Meow~"

I crouched down and gently stroked the Litten's back. "Thank you!"

After Xia Mu stroked it for the third time, Firefly shook off his hand and quickly climbed back onto the roof.

Xia Mu smiled; their relationship had taken another step closer!

I looked up and gazed toward the pasture.

A group of Pokémon rushed towards him.

"Lung long~"

"Lili!"

"Fufu..."

"Beibei~" x5

"..."

He was warmly welcomed back and surrounded by a large crowd.

The foam squirrel jumped into his arms, nuzzling his chest affectionately.

This scene made the Kangaskhan jealous, so it squeezed its big head over and hugged Xia Mu tightly.

Even Fiona, inside the pouch, tries to rub against the foam squirrel, vying for space and getting jealous of each other.

Of course, it wasn't just the two little ones, Foam Chipmunk and Fiona, but also a group of adorable little ones around him.

Flower petals landed on his head, and the meows climbed onto the kangaroo and squeezed in as well.

Morubek, with his short legs, lagged behind and slowly ran over.

It took a lot of coaxing before the kangaroo finally let him down.

Separating the foam squirrels and Fiona from their staring contest, letting them each stand on one side of her shoulder so they wouldn't bother each other, Xia Mu walked towards the cabin, casually picking up Morbeco.

Behind her was a group of little tails, ranging from tall to short, following Xia Mu wherever she went.

The number did not decrease; on the contrary, the length increased because Xia Mu went to the sheep village and the lake.

He turned to the marsupials and said, "I'm going to cook. You guys play by yourselves for a while."

"Lung long~"

The kangaroo shook its head in refusal, indicating that it only wanted to stay with Xia Mu right now.

The same goes for the foam squirrels; Xia Mu went out early in the morning and didn't get to play with them properly.

Xia Mu: "..."

Looking into those aggrieved and coquettish eyes, Xia Mu was helpless.

"Let's eat first, and then we'll watch a movie together."

"Lili~"

(Yay! I want to sit on Natsume's belly.)

“Feina…”

(I want one too.)

"Mobe!"

(Small cakes)

"..."

With Natsuki's assurance, the Pokémon dispersed.

The small Pokémon, led by Foam Squirrel, ran into the house first, turned on the TV, and chose a movie to watch later.

"Come inside, it's a bit hot outside."

Xia Mu called the sheep, including Meili, to come inside and cool off. Then, she went into the kitchen and started preparing lunch.

After lunch, I also cleaned up the house.

Xia Mu placed the snacks on the coffee table, and the Pokémon made room for him.

As soon as he sat down, he was surrounded by a group of Pokémon.

The constant chatter and noise over a good spot is driving me crazy.

Xia Mu tapped the table and said seriously, "Quiet down now, we're going to watch TV."

Summer midday is especially hot, so it's really nice to stay in an air-conditioned room and watch a movie.

Not to mention having a group of Pokémon by your side, it's simply a treat.

Xia Mu's hands were also restless, pinching the foam squirrel every now and then, which made the little guy laugh cutely.

Or tickle Morubek's armpits and let the little ball roll around on him.

Or you can hug Fiona and press your face against its cool little belly, which is very comfortable.

Tricked by him like this, the foam squirrels united and pounced on Xia Mu, pulling his hair and tickling his armpits.

I had a great time playing and frolicking with the Pokémon.

As the temperature outside gradually dropped, Xia Mu changed into casual clothes and hugged the miniature Fu on the windowsill.

As usual, Xia Mu asked the Kangaskhan to help watch the house, and then he called the Motor Lizard to go visit Grandpa Fu.

Before he left, Foam Chipmunk, Fiona, and Ball the Sea Lion begged him to come along.

Xia Mu firmly refused, saying he had business to attend to, not to go sightseeing in Biyi City.

However, Xia Mu promised them that he would definitely bring them next time.

……

Time flew by, and Xia Mu and the Motor Lizard arrived in Bi Yi City.

The miniature Fu in my arms looked around, showing great curiosity about the bustling city.

"Fufu~"

"That's a vending machine; you insert coins and it dispenses a drink!"

Xia Mu rubbed the miniature Fu and explained with a smile.

Point the way to the Moto Lizard and turn onto the uphill path. Keep going uphill and you'll reach the Winged Gym.

When you knock on the door of the Biyi Dojo, staff members will greet you.

He was informed of the purpose of his visit, and soon after, Master Fu came over from behind.

"Xiao Xiamu is back!"

Grandpa Fu is still the same as ever, his kind smile makes you feel even more welcome.

“Mr. Fu.” Taking a step forward, Xia Muxu helped him up. “You’re back. I brought you a gift.”

As she spoke, Xia Mu took out a gift from her spatial bag.

"Okay, okay, you're so thoughtful."

Grandpa Fu patted Xia Mu's hand, feeling content that someone still cared about him at his age.

Following behind Grandpa Fu, the old man and the young man headed toward the ranch.

Xia Mu asked a lot of questions about techniques and precautions for planting crops in the summer, and Grandpa Fu didn't hold back, telling Xia Mu a lot of planting techniques.

"What~"

Master Fu's goat came over and nudged him with its head.

"Old buddy! How old are you? Still acting like a little lamb on a leash."

The two walked around for a while, and Xia Mu saw a building in the ranch.

The glass exterior walls ensure the internal temperature, allowing various flowers to bloom inside the greenhouse, and their delicate fragrance can be smelled from a distance.

If the ranch had such a greenhouse, Flowerbee and the others would no longer be troubled by the flowers.

Pointing in that direction, Xia Mu asked Grandpa Fu, "Mr. Fu, what are the requirements for building a greenhouse? I want to provide the flower buds with a flower field that blooms all year round."

…………

I will take a day off at the end of the month and will resume updates on August 1st.

Chapter 140 Grow! Mini Fu

"Is this the little guy?"

"Fufu~"

Faced with Fu Ye's outstretched hand, Mini Fu, who had little contact with outsiders, fearfully burrowed into Xia Mu's arms, for only Xia Mu could give her a sense of security.

"Don't be afraid, Uncle Fu is a very, very good person. He can help solve the problem of you not being able to evolve!"

Xia Mu comforted her, placing Mini Fu in her palm.

"Fu!?"

It might not care about other miniature creatures, but when it comes to evolution, it immediately becomes extremely attentive.

Her round little eyes blinked adorably, and her little mouth curved into a smiling smile. She twirled her palm below, indicating that she could look freely.

"Fufu~"

"Good boy!"

No one could dislike such an adorable and well-behaved Pokémon, so Fuye took out some snacks he carried with him and fed it.

"Fu?"

Mini Fu turned towards Xia Mu.

"Eat it!"

"Fu!"

Taking small bites, she savored it, finding it delicious. Mini Fu squinted her eyes in delight.

With the snacks distracting him, Grandpa Fu moved closer to observe carefully.

I squeezed the fruit on the top of the miniature hibiscus; it was quite plump.

"Xia Mu, I think I know where the problem lies?"

"Fu?"

"Really?"

Xia Mu and Mini Fu spoke almost simultaneously, and the two of them, along with their Pokémon, exchanged a glance and smiled.

"The Pokémon Minifox stores inedible oil in its berries and uses that oil to fight enemies."

"The problem with your Mini Fu is that you eat too much and don't use it up. A lot of energy is trapped in your body, which suppresses your own evolutionary instincts."

In other words, the miniature hibiscus was living too comfortably and felt no sense of danger, and its plant instincts suppressed evolution.

"I see!"

Xia Mu understood. After thinking about it carefully, he realized that Mini Fu hadn't used the oil stored in the fruit much since she came to the ranch.

Their way of obtaining nutrition is too simple; most grass-type Pokémon can produce energy through photosynthesis to sustain their lives.

Since they don't need to compete for food in the wild, most Grass-type Pokémon have a mild temperament.

Having understood, Xia Mu continued to ask, "Mr. Fu, do I need to take Mini Fu to the battle next?"
