Pokémon Ranch Story

"A Super Raiden?! How is that possible?!"

This scene is so unconventional that it's hard to believe.

The facts were right in front of him, leaving him no choice but to believe them.

Having been mentally prepared beforehand, Bratano was much calmer. While asking the two about the specific situation, he instructed his assistant to collect data from the scene.

The question was mainly answered by Xia Mu, who said that he was the only one who had ever fought against Super Raidenmon.

That's roughly the situation..."

Before Xia Mu could finish speaking, a researcher's anxious shout came from the side.

"Doctor, Doctor..."

The three looked in the direction of the Super Thunder Beast, where beams of electricity were surging from its body.

Mega Raiden let out a mournful cry, immediately reverting from Mega Evolution, its head lolling to the side as it fainted.

"Doctor, this..."

After staring at it for a while, Blatano instructed, "Continue. It's probably exhausted. Take it back to the lab first."

Several hours later, the sky was tinged with a magnificent red glow.

The day passed by in the blink of an eye, and the noise from the power plant gradually subsided.

"Trainer Natsuki, aren't you coming with us?"

Bratano said amidst the roar of helicopters.

"No!" Xia Mu waved his hand, picked up the Fire Spotted Cat, and rode the Motor Lizard. "There are still a group of little cuties waiting for me to return to the ranch. I can't let them worry."

The setting sun cast long shadows, and the motorcycle lizard ran towards the sunset, the direction of its home.

"Let's go too!"

Karuni turned her gaze away and boarded the helicopter. She was going back to Miare City to see what gift Xia Mu had brought her.

The two of them had just agreed to get together again after she finished filming this movie.

"Let's go," Blatano said. "I can't wait to discover the deeper secrets of super evolution."

The helicopter flew in the opposite direction and quickly became a black dot in the distance until it disappeared completely.

As Xia Mu hurried home, he couldn't help but worry.

"I wonder if the kangaroo and the foam squirrel ate properly and listened to him while I was away from home all day."

"Gah!"

Sensing Xia Mu's feelings, the Motor Lizard sped up, eager to show off its newly acquired little red flower to its companions.

......

Route 12, Natsume Ranch.

The foam squirrel was bored and fiddling with the TV remote, constantly changing channels, and had even lost interest in its favorite cartoons.

I glanced out the window every now and then and saw that the sky was getting darker and darker.

"Lili~"

(When is Natsuki coming back? I'm so bored.)

Fiona nodded in agreement, then a thought struck her, "Fiona!"

(Let's go find Natsuki! Let's help him beat up the big bad guy.)

"Lung long~"

(No, you must stay on the ranch.)

The kangaroo refused seriously, stood up and took out various flavors of Baofen that Xia Mu had prepared in advance from the top shelf of the refrigerator.

"Lung...lung lang!"

(Come and eat, and after you finish eating, go to sleep obediently.)

"Mobe!"

(Oh, here it comes!)

Morubek waddled onto the dining table, cradling her flat belly in her little hands and flashing a flattering crescent-shaped smile.

"Meow~"

The Alola Meow responded and patted the ordinary Meow beside it, whose face was all wrinkled from playing with a ball of yarn.

"Meow?"

(what?)

"Meow..."

(Dinner is served)

"Meow...woof!"

(I can't eat, I want to play with yarn balls and miss Natsuki.)

The regular Meowth wriggles its body, turning its back to the Alola Meowth.

Galar Meowth wasn't going to tolerate it. It picked up the ordinary Meowth with one hand, tossed it into its designated dining spot, and said fiercely.

"Meow-（╬￣皿￣）"

(Have a meal!)

The ordinary cat gave a weak response.

"Meow~"

(Just eat it, I'm not afraid of you.)

Without Natsume by his side, Kangaskhan puts away its childishness and innocence, showing its adult nature, and takes care of all the Pokémon, big and small, on Natsume's behalf.

Seeing that Foam Squirrel and Phiona had come over to eat, Kangaskhan gave them a word of advice and headed out of the hut.

As soon as I stepped outside, I saw two small buzzing bats fly overhead. Woody Owl was standing on one of them, and they were flying in the same direction.

The next moment, a familiar roar rang out from the clouds, and the Sonic Dragon broke through the clouds.

"Hum ho ho~"

(I'm back!)

The ultrasonic waves were released indiscriminately, and were felt by everyone, from the muddrakes and lambs eating listlessly in the stable to the Pokémon in the hut.

"Hehe~"

(Is that the sound of a Noivern?)

"slightly!"

(I heard it too.)

"Slurp~ Smack smack (chewing sound)"

(Me too.)

Just as the two horses were confirming their message, Happy Sheep had already rushed out of the stable.

The other sheep followed suit, and even Lazy Sheep did not escape this time.

It rolled into a ball after running only a few steps and rushed to the front.

"Meow~"

(Grass cake~)

Meanwhile, on the kitchen windowsill of the ranch cabin, Alcremie and Orion looked up at the sky, while Bubble Chipmunk and Fiona squeezed over.

"Mama~"

(It's Soundwave Dragon Brother back!)

"Woo-li..."

(Xia Mu is back, I'm going to greet her.)

Orion jumped lightly off the windowsill and ran towards the ranch gate.

A group of Pokémon, led by Bubble Squirrel, followed closely behind.

Xia Mu is back; we should go and welcome her.

Noivern, which landed in front of the ranch cabin, looked around and then looked down at Morpeko, whose cheeks were puffed up from stealing food and falling behind.

He walked past him without even glancing at it.

Soundwave Dragon: "Am I not human?! Why isn't anyone coming to greet me?!"

The sonic dragon, huffing and puffing, returned to its nest in anger.

It calmed down when it saw the little diamonds surrounding it.

The younger brothers are the best; they know how to care for their big brother!

Chapter 158 Longing After a Brief Separation

Are you all here to welcome us?

After getting off the Motolizard, Xia Mu smiled and opened his arms to the group of Pokémon at the door.

"Lung long..."

"Lili~"

"Meow meow!"

"Meow~"

"Woo-li—"

"Glug glug~"

"..."

In an instant, Natsuki was surrounded by Pokémon.

The kangaroo hugged Xia Mu tightly, its arms wrapped around him, and it nuzzled him affectionately.

"Gently, gently, or your waist will break!"

"Lung long~"

The kangaroo grunted in dissatisfaction; she hadn't used any force, but she had relaxed a bit.

At this moment, Orinyu jumped up and hugged Natsuki's arm.

Foam Chipmunk and Fiona jumped into Xia Mu's arms one after the other, leaning against him and scratching him incessantly with their little hands.

Frost Fairy floated to Xia Mu's other shoulder, feeling especially safe and secure against him.

The other Pokémon gathered around, and Lazy Sheep tried to hug it too, but was forced to do a backflip, revealing its round belly.

The way mud-drawn horses express happiness is not so obvious; they simply keep kicking and their tails swinging merrily.

The motorcycle lizard felt superfluous, having been pushed to the very edge, and glared angrily.

It wanted to stick all the little red flowers that Xia Mu had given it on its body, so that it would envy them later.

As they ran into the ranch, the motor lizard brushed past Morubek.

It took a lot of comforting to calm the Pokémon down and get them to release him.

Xia Mu reached out and touched the little buzzing bat, the wood owl, and the ball sea lion that were squeezed out, as well as Pleasant Goat and the three meows.

The Flowerbees were also there, perched atop his head alongside the Frost Milk Fairy.

Everyone is here.

Everyone came to welcome him, and my heart was filled with warmth.
