Pokémon Ranch Story

The effects of the Century Soup O Fresh take effect while Pokémon are asleep, subtly strengthening their bodies and abilities.

Chapter 27 Pokémon-Specific Enhancements

Carlos region, Miare city.

This is the most prosperous city in Kalos, with its technology at the forefront of the League's development. Not long ago, it passed a city renovation proposal, which will establish a dedicated living area for wild Pokémon in Luna City.

Inside a building near the city center, a young woman in a white dress opened a letter.

The letter was simple, yet it brought a genuine smile to the girl's face.

"Gardedor, Natsuki invited us to his farm. Are you going?"

Not far from the girl, the elegant Gardevoir responded softly, and the two exchanged a smile, understanding each other's thoughts.

"Don't worry, I've already thought it through." The girl smiled slyly. "Sichuan City invited us to the beach festival, so it's perfectly normal for me to stay a few more days!"

"Sanai~"

"I know, I will handle the work here in advance."

The girl carefully tucked away the invitation, her eyes hardening. "That's our first movie as the lead, and I'll take it seriously."

Meanwhile, on the ranch.

"Oh ho ho, noisy bird."

Yawning and squinting, Xia Mu opened the window.

The cool morning breeze blew into the room, and Xia Mu couldn't help but shiver, instantly waking him up.

"Quack~"

The noisy bird pecked at his arm with its beak, urging him to hurry up and leave.

If you go too late, the mushrooms growing in the forest will have been picked by other Pokémon.

"Right away, right away!" Xia Mu patted his head to reassure them; this was something they had discussed yesterday.

Mushroom prices are at their highest for the year ahead of the beach festival, so every penny earned now is precious.

Once the weather gets warm, the mushrooms will stop growing.

Back then, it was impossible to make money even if you wanted to.

The chattering bird led him on a wild adventure through the back mountains, where they would occasionally encounter a group of wild Pokémon.

They would greet the chatterbird from afar, and some bird Pokémon would even bring the food they had painstakingly found to the chatterbird.

What's even more amazing are the female birds, who stay right next to the noisy birds and refuse to leave.

They even discovered what was happening right in front of them.

The noisy bird was resting on a branch, having just stopped and not yet settled.

Several rocket finches approached, using their beaks to groom the noisy bird and rubbing against it with their bodies.

And what about noisy birds?

With an expression of annoyance and indifference, it sang loudly to drive away the rocket sparrow.

Not only did it not go as planned, but Rocket Sparrow's eyes sparkled with excitement.

"When did noisy birds become so popular? They've become the succubus of my great Han Dynasty, the Liu Bei of birds."

Xia Mu quickly guessed the reason.

The changes that occurred overnight could only be due to the effects of Century Thick Soup's Freshness.

The last paragraph describes it clearly and explicitly, stating that each Pokémon receives a unique and exclusive enhancement based on its own characteristics.

From the current perspective, the enhancement that the chattering bird received should be in terms of charm.

hmm~

It perfectly matches the flamboyant personality of the noisy bird.

So what kind of boosts should other Pokémon receive?

With the help of a group of bird Pokémon, their baskets were filled in just over ten minutes, and they had to turn back.

Xia Mu led the noisy bird straight to Route 12.

Galio is very fast; the delivery box was already set up yesterday, even though we just finished communicating about it.

The front of the box also features a ranch image, along with his contact information and name.

I greeted Mr. and Mrs. Ding Zhi through the fence, who were shearing their lambs.

After a winter, the lambs' wool had grown long and thick, and it was time to shave them.

After putting the items into the receiving box, Xia Mu returned the way he came to the ranch.

The bird-like Pokémon that had followed them all the way stopped in front of the ranch gate, too afraid to approach, while the Kangaskhan watched them intently.

Their eyes flashed with a dangerous glint, reminding them of the fear of being dominated by the great monster, and they scattered helplessly.

"The chattering bird is very popular! Anyone interested?"

Watching the flock of bird Pokémon reluctantly turn back as they left, Natsuki joked.

"Gah~" They are all my wings.

The noisy bird raises its head and cries out, then flaps its wings and flies into the orchard; the early birds are the fattest.

On the way, he didn't forget to greet the mud-covered donkeys who were working.

"Hey, have you grown taller?"

"throat!"

The kangaroo looked down at itself, as if to say, "Sigh! Natsuki, you've become so tiny."

Xia Mu is 1.82 meters tall, already reaching the chest of the Kangaskhan.

Now that they're standing together, Xia Mu is only a little taller than his thigh, while the Kangaskhan has grown much taller.

If nothing unexpected happens, the kangaroo's growth spurt will also be due to the effects of a rich, flavorful soup.

Compared to that, Xia Mu was more concerned about the health of the Kangaskhan.

"Are you feeling unwell, prison guard?"

The kangaroo shook its head and then nodded, walked towards a boulder, and threw an ordinary punch at it.

Boom~

The boulder was shattered into pieces, with fragments scattered all over the ground.

"A million-ton punch? No, no, that's not right."

Judging from the appearance of the Kangaskhan, it didn't use much force at all; it just swung its fist.

The power it can generate is no less than that of a million-ton punch.

"Long hoo~"

The kangaroo came to Natsuki's side, looking aggrieved, and said that its power had suddenly become so great that it couldn't control it.

When I got up this morning, the bed had collapsed.

"Uh..." A black line appeared on his forehead. He wondered why the Kangaskhan didn't rush over to hug him. It turned out that it was afraid that he would hurt Xia Mu.

What the heck?! The bed collapsed again?!

Why should I say it again?

Since things had come to this, Xia Mu comforted the kangaroo, saying that even if the bed collapsed, it was still safe to sleep on.

The important thing now is to teach Kangaskhan to control its surging power.

Xia Mu thought for a moment and then led the kangaroo to the lake.

Let him throw his fist into the water and use the splashing water to spray water. He can only be considered successful when he can control the force of his punches.

With the case of the marsupial as an example, Xia Mu couldn't help but worry about the changes in Mud Donkey and Foam Chipmunk.

The changes in the body of the foam squirrel are neither major nor minor; it emits different scents depending on its emotional state.

It's one thing that her body smells sweet and soft, but now she also has a creamy scent. Who can resist that?

Xia Mu couldn't resist and took a few deep breaths while hugging her.

Little cakes are born to be eaten by trainers.

As for the changes in the clay donkeys, they seem to have reached a state of trinity.

Can you imagine three mud donkeys charging towards you at 100,000 horsepower?

It looks like three large transport vehicles traveling side by side; just looking at it is terrifying.

There's also a three-fold increased probability of instant kill from a ground fissure, and a three-fold increased range of sandstorm coverage.

Most importantly, the triple arable land cultivation technique has a superimposed effect, which accelerates crop growth.

Aside from the Kangaskhan, none of the abilities that everyone gained had any side effects.

The poor kangaroo, wanting to hug Xia Mu again, squatted alone by the lake and punched her, the 'bang bang' sounds echoing endlessly.

Fortunately, apart from a few Magikarp that can be found anywhere, there were no other Pokémon in the lake.

Those carp suffered terribly.

Just as Kangaskhan had thrown countless punches, and Magikarp was reeling from the impact,

A Magikarp has awakened, its body glowing with the light of evolution.

pop~

The loud slap echoed throughout the ranch. The newly hatched Gyarados, clutching the large bump on its head, ran away in a flash to the sea.

How terrifying! The angry mother dragon is terrifying!

Chapter 28 Harvest Day

联盟历198年春，1月18～1月24一周

Income: 15467 Alliance Coins

Remaining funds: 35500 Alliance Coins

For a whole week, Xia Mu went out early and returned late, going into the mountains with the noisy birds to pick mushrooms.

Although the harvest wasn't as much as on the first day, it was still quite substantial in total.

I already have nearly 30,000 Alliance Coins, and I'm 70% away from my goal.

Of course, while picking mushrooms, Xia Mu did not forget to take care of the crops planted on the ranch.

Thanks to the efforts of the mud donkeys, the growing time for crops has been reduced by more than half.

The use of tillage techniques did not affect the crops; they grew beautifully and plumply, a sight to behold.

The lush green branches were bent under the weight of the bright red, fist-sized tomatoes. If they hadn't been tied to the base with wooden sticks, these tomatoes would have rotted quickly upon hitting the ground, and wouldn't be in this state.

Of course, the efforts of other Pokémon are also indispensable. The Muddoddy uses its farming move to nourish the land day after day, while the Chatot and Foam Squirrel help patrol the fields, weed, and catch insects every day.

Without anyone, we wouldn't have had such a bountiful harvest today.

Soon, Xia Mu's bamboo basket was filled with tomatoes. The mud donkey, which had been waiting for a long time, trotted up and whimpered twice at Xia Mu, indicating that the basket should be placed on his back.

"Well, I'll trouble you then."

Xia Mu touched his head and arranged the bamboo baskets.

The mud donkey left the farmland with a bountiful harvest, and the next mud donkey quickly took its place.

We will continue harvesting without stopping, and try to finish it today. We will weed and turn the soil tomorrow, and then plant another crop the day after tomorrow.

Moreover, I made an appointment with Galio yesterday, and his truck was waiting by the roadside for him to transport the fresh crops!
