Pokémon Ranch Story

Xia Mu should have gone to a carpentry shop to build the donkey hut.

But his ranch was too remote, without even a paved road leading to the outside world, so many materials couldn't be transported in and he had to do it himself.

Fortunately, he has a cheat code that saves him 99% of his time.

The semi-transparent building interface slowly unfolded before their eyes, accompanied by Xia Mu's shouts.

【

Architecture: Donkey Hut

materials needed:

Alliance Coin: 6000

Timber: 350

Stone: 150

】

Overall, it's still within Xia Mu's tolerance range.

He has asked the kangaroo to cut down trees, so that he can cultivate another piece of farmland.

The foam squirrels and chattering birds were also busy, helping out in whatever way they could.

The foam squirrels are helping to clean the donkey pen, pulling out unwanted weeds so that sweet, tender pasture can be planted behind it.

That way, the mud donkeys can replenish their energy anytime, anywhere when they are hungry.

The chattering birds have taken over Xia Mu's field patrol duties, hovering over the farmland and occasionally swooping down to grab insects with their sharp claws.

Whether it's fruit trees or crops, the seedlings have just grown and can't be ruined by insects.

With the help of Pokémon, the material collection speed is incredibly fast.

Xia Mu looked up at the ranch gate from time to time, but never saw the Fire Lions.

Did something happen on the way here? Weren't you supposed to come to visit this morning?

That shouldn't be the case! Flareon is the dominant Pokémon in this area.

He is the strongest, and ordinary wild Pokémon are no match for him.

Trainers in Sala City and Wing City mostly recognize the Lion King who roams the grasslands and will not attack him.

Furthermore, the league has enacted laws prohibiting trainers from capturing Totem Pokémon; any violation is considered poaching.

Not only will they be wanted by the alliance, but they will also be pursued by Interpol.

Time passed second by second, and the sun quietly rose overhead.

Xia Mu gazed at the open space before him and silently vowed, "Start building the donkey hut."

[Construction materials have been deducted. Please wait patiently.]

"What are you doing?"

Coming to her senses, Xia Mu noticed the foam squirrels covering their eyes with their feet.

"Lili!" We're waiting for you to do a magic trick, Xia Mu. We've never seen a noisy bird before.

Peeking open a crack, the foam squirrel answered in a soft, sweet voice.

"The magic show will take a long time, so let me rinse you off first."

Xia Mu picked up the foam squirrel and patted the kangaroo on the back.

"Li~"

Foam Squirrel understood and took over the cleaning task from Xia Mu.

It leaped onto the marsupial, its furry tail sweeping up and down, cleaning up the stains and leaving no corner untouched.

The chattering bird itself flies to the lakeside, rolls its body in the water a couple of times, and then shakes itself clean.

"Alright! Then I'll leave it to Foam Chipmunk." Xia Mu patted Foam Chipmunk in praise. "I'll go cook for you. Foam Chipmunk, would you like some glutinous rice cake?"

Li ヽ(love'?'love)ノ

The foamy squirrel nodded vigorously; glutinous rice cake was his absolute favorite.

"How about you, Lao Da? How about boiled sliced ​​pork today?"

Kangaroo: -(≧?≦)ノ Okay, okay, I like anything that Natsuki makes.

Xia Mu shouted towards the lake again, "You noisy bird, I'll make you a vegetable salad for lunch!"

The Pokémon had been busy building the donkey hut all morning, so Xia Mu naturally wanted to reward them with a delicious lunch.

As Xia Mu began cooking lunch, four guests arrived at the ranch gate—the very Fire Lion and Mud Donkeys that Xia Mu had been longing to see.

This is my first time here, and with Fire Lion having to take care of Mud Donkey, even though we set off early, we're only arriving now.

Before even entering the farm, the Fire Lion smelled an extraordinary fragrance that made it look over and its mouth water.

"Hey! Flame Lions, you're here." Xia Mu, who was carrying a plate of boiled pork slices, saw several figures at the ranch gate and waved. "You've come at the perfect time, come and eat with us."

roar~

Upon reaching the dining table, the Flame Lion growled and inquired.

Upon getting closer, the Flame Lion sensed even more fire-type energy. The bright red chili peppers wrapped around the meat slices made its mouth water rapidly.

"This is boiled sliced ​​pork, a dish that's perfect for Fire-type Pokémon."

Xia Mu replied with a smile, swallowing hard as information about the dish appeared in his mind.

【

Boiled Sliced ​​Pork (B): A delicious Sichuan dish, with a perfect blend of spiciness and numbing sensation, making it fresh and flavorful. It has a special effect on Fire-type Pokémon.

Cooking Effect: Spicy and Bursting! Temporarily increases the Fire-type energy within a Pokémon, giving the Pokémon a chance to learn a Fire-type move. (Effect doubled for Fire-type Pokémon)

】

"Let's dig in! Flame Lion, you should have a taste."

Xia Mu urged.

Of the Pokémon present, Flareon was the only Fire-type.

It has the highest probability of triggering cooking effects.

"Hey donkey boy, don't be shy, join us for a meal."

Xia Mu called out to the mud donkey, his attention never leaving the Flame Lion.

Then the Flame Lion bit into a piece of meat coated with red oil and chili, and tentatively put it in its mouth.

The next moment, after the Fire Lion finished chewing, its scarlet eyes burst forth with blazing flames, like two fireballs burning.

The mane around its neck flew wildly, the temperature of the Flame Lion's body rose rapidly, its fur turned from red to crimson gold, and the fire attribute energy within its body surged like a volcanic eruption.

Gradually, the Flame Lion reached its limit of endurance.

After leaving the crowd, Hou Yue stopped suppressing himself.

roar~

A majestic lion's roar echoed through the mountains and forests, startling flocks of birds into flight. A pillar of fire shot into the sky and lasted for a full half minute before stopping.

Looking at the Flame Lion again, the opponent was full of energy.

It was as if the long burst of flames had had no effect on him whatsoever.

That's true; the Flame Lion had just released its excess and uncontrolled fire energy.

Therefore, Flame Lion not only did not feel uncomfortable, but was in better condition than ever before, as if it had recovered to its full strength.

It could easily fight a female fire lion for three hundred rounds.

"How are you feeling, Flame Lion? Have you noticed any changes in your body, such as learning new moves?"

After the Flame Lion calmed down, Xia Mu asked curiously.

The Flame Lion carefully examined itself, then shook its head.

He didn't realize he was feeling unwell; he felt great and full of energy.

He couldn't wait to go back and show his wife his prowess.

At the same time, her affection for Xia Mu increased dramatically.

It's a good thing that the mud donkey can follow such humans.

Fire Lion carefully examined Mud Donkey, then turned its gaze to Xia Mu.

Hoho~

Chapter 19 The Messenger of the Vast Ocean

"Come on in, this will be your residence from now on. Are you satisfied?"

Xia Mu smiled and led the mud donkeys to push open the door of the donkey hut, making way for them to go inside and have a look.

The ground was clean and tidy, and there were three separate donkey sheds.

Although they are the same size, the facilities inside are quite different.

The donkey beds, water troughs, feeding troughs, and sloping manure ditches are all provided, meeting all the needs of the mud donkeys in their daily lives.

Nini~ It's so pretty, I love it here.

A mud-covered donkey happily rushed out and entered a donkey shed, sometimes stepping on the donkey bed and sometimes peeking out.

Such a comfortable environment was something they never dared to imagine before.

"satisfied?"

"Mud~(???)"

The three mud-covered donkeys answered in unison, their dirty little faces full of happiness.

Xia Mu stepped forward and stroked the mud donkey, accepting and acknowledging it. The mud donkey lay down on its own, its eyes squinting in enjoyment.

To be honest, the mud donkeys are not comfortable to touch; they feel quite rough, like touching sand.

You can still see mud in the hair; it's no wonder it's not comfortable.

With a rhythmic stroking motion, the little mud donkey beneath my hand yawned contentedly.

At the same time, basic information about the clay donkey surfaced in Xia Mu's mind.

This is a Pokémon that eats dirt.

Yes, it means exactly what it says.

In addition to various green fodder, soil is an essential food for mud donkeys, which they eat in large quantities every day.

This is closely related to and inseparable from the habits of the mud donkey.

Despite its small size, it possesses extraordinary strength.

It can carry luggage that is 50 times its own weight.

Besides the clay donkey's unusual strength, there was also the clay covering its limbs.

No matter the terrain, the mud donkey will not slip and can run as fast as the wind.

Besides eating dirt, mud donkeys also play in the mud; it's their daily routine.

Playing in the mud is not only a form of entertainment for the mud-covered boys, but also a way for them to release stress.

"Hey mud donkeys, I'm planning to build you a mud pit outside. What do you think?"

"Nini!" The mud donkeys that had gathered around Xia Mu and were rubbing against it stared wide-eyed with excitement and disbelief.

Is this heaven?

They have safe and warm housing, endless food, and can play in the mud every day.

The mud donkeys were so excited they almost fainted.
