Pokémon Ranch Story

“No need!” Old Fu patted his old partner beside him. “Parasitic seeds.”

Upon hearing the trainer's voice, the goat mount spat out seeds imbued with Grass-type energy.

The seeds took root and sprouted, transforming into several vines that climbed Xia Mu's arms and eventually wrapped around the fruit on Mini Fu's head.

Startled by the sudden attack, Mini-Fo sprayed out inedible sticky oil from its fruit.

The oil sticks to the vines, making them move slowly.

Mini Fu seized the opportunity, twisted her body to break free, and ran into Xia Mu's arms.

"Fufu~"

While comforting Mini Fu, Xia Mu asked, "Mr. Fu, what's this?"

"Use techniques to unleash Mini-F's potential and make her feel the danger."

"With the accumulation of Mini-Fo, it will naturally evolve into a higher form when it senses danger."

"Fu!?"

(Natsuki, I can do it, for the sake of evolution.)

Upon hearing the word "evolution" again, Mini Fu cheered herself up.

She stood back in Xia Mu's palm, and the parasitic vines once again entwined around Mini Fu.

So, Mini Fu kept spraying oil.

When she gets scared, she burrows into Xia Mu's arms, seeking comfort and a pat.

This cycle repeated itself nearly a hundred times.

Once again entangled by parasitic vines, Mini Fu didn't spray oil in fear this time, but instead let out a childish cry.

"Fu!"

Immediately, Mini-Fu's body emitted a pure white light, which completely enveloped her.

It overcame itself, unleashed its potential, and began the first stage of evolution.

Enveloped in pure white light, Mini Fu's body grew taller and limbs sprouted.

"Woo-li!"

Having completed its evolution, 'Mini Fu' couldn't wait to jump into Xia Mu's arms and hug him with its little hands.

"So cute! Orinoa."

"Woo-li~"

Orion spun around in place, feeling exceptionally happy as his trainer praised him.

Out of curiosity, I touched Orion's body; her body had changed drastically after evolving.

Its body is predominantly light green, and its petite size resembles a vibrant green leaf, full of vitality.

Two round, yellow fruits grow on either side of its head, surrounded by a ring of light green leaves, resembling its hair.

The lower half of the leaves are slightly open, like a little skirt, giving the whole thing a fresh and tender feel, like a little elf just born from the grass and trees.

"Woo-li~ woo-li..."

Orion runs around Xia Mu in circles. It can run very fast now and can play everywhere with the foam squirrels.

It was quite envious when it was miniature Fu!

Oh right, I almost forgot.

Orion turned and ran toward Xiamu, fresh and fragrant olive oil oozing from the yellow berries on either side of his head.

"Woo-li~"

(Here's some delicious olive oil for you, Xia Mu.)

This was their agreement; Orinho would always give Xia Mu delicious olive oil.

"For me? Thank you!"

Xia Mu picked up Orion and placed it on his shoulder, then dipped his finger in it.

Orion oil is exceptionally fragrant and would be excellent for cooking.

Olive oil: Olive oil produced from a well-bred Orion olive; using it to cook dishes will slightly enhance the quality of the food.

"Amazing!"

Unexpectedly, there was a pleasant surprise. He vigorously rubbed Orion's head to show his praise.

Each person and their Pokémon thanked Fu Ye, saying that without his pointing out the problem, Xia Mu would have been delayed for who knows how much longer.

Before leaving, as a token of its gratitude, Orino gave Fu Ye a jar of olive oil as a small token of its appreciation.

"Mr. Fu, I'll head back now. Please take care of yourself."

Waving goodbye to Grandpa Fu, Xia Mu released the Motor Lizard.

The Motor Lizard, which was counting its little red flowers, didn't see the scene of Mini Fu's evolution and was curiously winking at it.

Has Natsuki recruited a new companion?

"Stop looking, that's Mini Fu, it just finished evolving."

Xia Mu offered an explanation.

"Gah!!!"

The motor lizard was shocked that such a tiny miniature lizard could grow so big.

He looked around curiously, then, after thinking for a moment, reluctantly took out a small red flower and handed it to Orion.

"Gaaao~"

(Congratulations! Mini Fu, this is a gift for you.)

"Whoa!?"

(Is it really for me?)

Orinus knew the purpose of the little red flower, and he asked about it repeatedly.

"Gah!"

The lizard turned its head away, choosing not to look, and handed the little red flower to Orion.

I gave away one flower, and now it only has two left!

"Woo-li~"

(Thank you, Motor Lizard Brother.)

Mini Fu jumped onto the back of the motorcycle lizard, rubbing and stroking it with her little hands, thanking it.

The loving interactions between the Pokémon made him, a trainer and rancher, very happy.

He mounted his motorcycle lizard and waved his hand, "Let's go home."

“Olinio, you’re going to give the foam squirrels a real fright later.”

"Woo-li!"

Orion sat down obediently, covering its mouth and giggling; it was really looking forward to it!

Chapter 141 Planting Summer Crops

"What?"

(Are you Mini-Fo?)

The foam squirrel circled around Orion, gesturing with its two little paws.

Surprisingly, the tiny miniature Fu has grown taller than it, by almost half a head.

It has to look up to see.

"Woo-li!"

(It's me! I've evolved.)

Orion happily spun around so that the foam squirrel could get a good look at it.

Soon, the two little ones held hands and hugged each other, one calling out "li li" and the other calling out "wu li wu li".

Morbeko, arriving late with her short legs, sniffed the air and smelled a very fragrant aroma.

It finds the source of the fragrance and licks the fruit on either side of the Orino's head with its little tongue.

"Mobe!"

Instantly, little stars twinkled deep in Morpeko's eyes. Delicious!

"You..."

Noticing Morbeco's little antics, Xia Mu picked it up and flicked its little head, "You glutton!"

Morubek smiled ingratiatingly and held out her small hand to Xia Mu's mouth, trying to bribe him.

"Mobe...Bebe!"

(It's really delicious, Natsuki should try some too.)

Xia Mu glanced disdainfully at Morubek's dirty little paws, which were covered in black grime, and turned her head away. "Eat it yourself, eat it yourself!"

"Mobe~"

Seeing that Xia Mu wouldn't eat, Morubek licked the oil off its paws, enjoying the delicious food with its eyes half-closed.

"Don't just put it in your mouth no matter how dirty it is, be careful not to get diarrhea."

Xia Mu slapped Morubek's little hand away and led him into the kitchen.

I plan to give it a good wash and clean it thoroughly.

On the grass in front of the ranch cabin, all the ranch Pokémon ran over and surrounded Orion.

Celebrate its successful evolution!

The little ones had a lot of fun playing.

An afternoon passed by in laughter. The little guy Morubek was either running to Alcremie's side, looking at her longingly and begging for cream, or squatting next to Orion, eagerly watching her. He was very busy and happy.

As it was getting dark, a Pokémon appeared on the stove when Xia Mu was preparing to cook.

Orion and Alcremie stood guard beside him like protectors.

Dishes made with olive oil are especially sweet, and as soon as Xia Mu started cooking, a large group of Pokémon squatted at the kitchen door.

Lazy Sheep squeezed his head in with difficulty, drool dripping down his face, so hungry!

If it weren't for Pleasant Goat and Boiling Goat biting its hind leg, it would have already rushed in.

In contrast, other Pokémon are much more reserved.

The sounds of swallowing rose and fell, creating a symphony that energized Xia Mu, who couldn't resist making another dish.

【

Pan-fried Pork Ribs (B+): A perfect dish, the use of premium olive oil has enhanced its quality and altered the overall flavor profile.

Food Effects: Large Stamina Recovery, Large Energy Boost, Fighting Skill. After consumption, a Pokémon's understanding of the Fighting type is permanently increased (doubled for Fighting-type Pokémon, and this effect can only be applied once per Pokémon per year).

】

It's a dish that permanently boosts attributes?

Xia Mu was quite surprised.

Although the restriction only applies once a year, the cumulative effect over the years results in a significant increase in the numerical value.

If a Fighting-type Pokémon ate pan-fried pork chops for ten consecutive years, would it be able to learn those moves that cannot be learned, or even some Pokémon's exclusive moves?

For example, Miss Skirt (Xi Cui) has a series of powerful moves such as Victory Dance, Meteor Impact with 150 power and full accuracy, Holy Sword, Mysterious Sword, and Full Power Ram.

Who knows? He might try training a Fighting-type Pokémon sometime in the future.
