Pokémon Ranch Story

Tell them everything that happened in the past two days, and fiercely condemn those despicable poachers.

Having learned the details from Officer Jenny beforehand, Cocoble lovingly stroked Korne's head.

"Korne did the right thing this time. Next time you encounter danger, be sure to tell an adult immediately."

After comforting Korni, Cocoble walked over to Xia Mu and bowed to him in gratitude.

After chatting for a while, when Xia Mu was about to take his leave, he was stopped by Zhi Mi.

Zhimi said, "Teacher Xia Mu, the beach festival will be held in Sara City in three days. Many tourists from other places will come. Xia Mu, you can make some dishes to sell at the festival party."

"Is it about to start?" Xia Mu muttered. He had heard about the beach festival before and had asked Galio about it the day before yesterday. The time was still uncertain, and he hadn't made up his mind whether to participate or not.

"Today, I discussed the final time with the curator of the Cocoboll Museum."

"I see." Xia Mu suddenly realized that the dojo masters of a city have considerable power, and in some aspects even the mayor has to listen to the advice of the dojo masters.

"Since it was you, Zhimi, who invited me, I will definitely attend."

"Hahaha!" Zhimi laughed. "With your culinary skills, Teacher Xia Mu, you're sure to win over tourists from all over the world. I'll save you a good spot."

After saying goodbye to Zhimi and Korni, Xia Mu didn't rush to leave.

First, she went to the Pokémon Center, and after learning that there was no letter from him, Natsuki went to the Seed Shop.

The remaining seeds on the ranch were too limited in variety, so he planned to buy some more.

Especially for high-value-added crops, it's time to try planting them.

The sunflower monster was still enthusiastic, and Natsuki touched it.

The boss turned around, recognized the person, and greeted him.

"It's you! The seeds I recommended last time should be ready for harvest by now."

"Thanks to you, boss, the harvest is complete, and we sold it for a high price!"

"It seems you have great potential to be a rancher, young friend. What kind of seeds are you going to buy this time?"

After discussing it for a while, Xia Mu finally chose coffee beans.

This is a crop that can be planted in spring and summer, grows quickly, and can be harvested repeatedly.

The coffee beans produced can fetch a high price whether sold to coffee shops or farmers' markets.

Similarly, coffee bean seeds are very expensive.

Xia Mu spent three thousand Alliance Coins on the small bag in his hand.

Before returning to the ranch, Xia Mu made a special trip to the Big Milk Tank Ranch to tell Penny about the Korni incident.

I also told them about the beach festival that would be held in three days.

By the time Xia Mu returned to the ranch, it was already noon.

We had a quick lunch with the Pokémon and then took a short nap on the grass.

When the sun was no longer so scorching, Xia Mu carried a hoe to the edge of the newly reclaimed farmland.

The mung beans and tomatoes are still growing and do not need to be treated for the time being.

The vegetable plot, roughly one acre in size, was planted very quickly with the help of the Pokémon.

The three mud donkeys used plowing techniques to create one pit after another in the vegetable field, with a certain distance between the pits to prevent the two crops from competing for nutrients.

Xia Mu followed behind, dropping the processed seeds down, and then used a hoe to cover them up, preventing the greedy bird Pokémon from stealing them.

The kangaroo and the foam squirrel used a Squirtle spray bottle to water the seeds, keeping the soil moist so that the seeds would germinate and grow quickly.

With division of labor and collaboration, each person was responsible for a part, which more than doubled the efficiency.

Two hours had passed by the time all the coffee bean seeds were planted.

Looking at the farmland ahead, Xia Mu spoke to the Pokémon at his feet.

"You mud donkeys, please use the plowing technique once."

"Ni Ni~"

Mud Donkey happily agreed, and the three Pokémon stood together, striking the same pose.

Mobilize the active terrestrial energy within your body and inject it all into the earth beneath your feet.

The milky yellow ripples spread outwards from the clay donkey as the center, covering the front in a fan shape.

This step is to allow the seeds to develop and take root earlier, with the help of the mud donkeys, tomorrow morning.

In the barren fields, one should be able to see some greenery.

"That's all for now." Xia Mu stopped the mud donkeys and waved to them. "Go play! Just remember to come back for dinner before dark."

"Ni Ni~"

Mud Donkey rubbed its body against Xia Mu's thigh, and the three little ones chased and played around, eager to play in the mud.

Seeing Pokémon so happy, Natsuki couldn't help but smile.

He crouched down, picked up the foam squirrel that ran towards him, gave it a good rub, and took a deep breath, looking completely blissful.

Today, the air is filled with the fragrance of pear blossoms.

The kangaroo followed closely behind, wrapping its arms around Xia Mu and the foam squirrel, holding them in its arms as if it were a baby.

"You're a grown woman now, why are you still acting like a child?"

Xia Mu helplessly stroked the Kangaskhan's head, and the Kangaskhan rubbed against his palm like a cat, its eyes squinting comfortably.

Pokémon are always so innocent and adorable. Tomorrow we're heading to Wing City.

What kind of Pokémon will come to the ranch and join them?

I'm really curious about their teeth!

Chapter 37 Grandpa Fu and the Riddle

Blue ocean, forests, and light rail – these are the hallmarks of Biyi City.

Together with Salo, it is known as the twin tourist resorts on the west coast of Carlos.

The entire city is built around a deep-water bay, and a light rail line runs along both the north and south banks of the city.

At this moment, on a light rail, Xia Mu is touring the entire city with a foam squirrel in her arms.

"Isn't it beautiful? Foam Chipmunk."

"Lili~"

Perched by the window, the foam squirrel stretched out its tiny paws, its big eyes filled with surprise.

The city of Biyi has two parts: one part is on both sides of the coast, and the other part is on a high cliff.

They were now positioned perfectly between the two, with the entire city of Biyi spread out before them.

"Lili~"

The foam squirrel suddenly yelled, grabbed Xia Mu's collar with one hand, and pointed out the window with the other.

Just now, a goat rode past the light rail, followed by a large group of goats.

These guys treat the cliffs and steep walls as if they don't exist.

"Don't worry, the mountain goat is an expert on cliffs," Xia Mu reassured the timid foam squirrel, gesturing for it to look up.

The foam squirrel cautiously opened its eyes and met the gaze of a little lamb on a mount, separated by a pane of glass.

"Baaaa?"

The little sheep on its mount tilted its head curiously, thinking to itself, "Wow, the one opposite me is so cute!"

And so the light rail and the flock of sheep moved forward together, with the foam squirrel staring wide-eyed at its little lamb mount through the glass.

Soon, a large group of lambs gathered outside the window.

They were all attracted by the foam squirrels.

"Wow, what an adorable Pokémon!"

Turning around, Xia Mu saw a kind old man.

His appearance and clothing were exactly the same as when we last met.

Even their posture remained unchanged.

He was hunched over, one hand behind his back, the other gripping a huge pair of scissors.

"Master Fu~"

Xia Mu bowed and addressed him.

He has a plant badge here, the last badge he received at the end of his journey.

Even Natsuki stopped on Route 12 and made the decision to buy the ranch based on the other party's advice.

Grandpa Fu slightly opened his eyes a crack, a smile still on his face. "It's you! Xia Mu, kid."

"How's it going? Have you encountered any difficulties running the ranch? Don't be shy!"

Fu-ye is such a gym leader. He uses his rich experience and knowledge to answer the questions and difficulties of young trainers.

It is beloved by many young trainers and is hailed as 'an old tree that is still blooming'.

Whether in life or other aspects, he can give just the right advice.

"Thanks to you, I was able to buy that ranch, and it's now on the right track."

Xia Mu smiled and explained, then pointed to the foam squirrel in his arms, "It's a Pokémon I caught on the ranch, a cute and capable little guy."

His tone unconsciously carried a hint of boasting.

"Lili!"

Upon hearing this, the foam squirrel shyly buried its head in Xia Mu's arms, its little face blushing almost imperceptibly, while its big ears stood up high.

"Hahaha~" Fu Ye laughed heartily, observing the actions of the person and the Pokémon. "I can see that Foam Squirrel is very popular. In the future, your ranch will be managed by her."

The two were talking on the light rail.

The questions mostly revolved around the two aspects of ranching and raising Pokémon, with Fukushi referring to Natsuki.

Xia Mu learned a lot from Grandpa Fu, which greatly helped him in running the ranch.

Before leaving, Master Fu gave him a bag of seeds and told him that he could visit the Biyi Dojo when he had time.

Xia Mu agreed and also said he would bring crops from the ranch.

As they watched Master Fu walk toward the dojo, he mounted a goat, followed closely by a group of goats.

It turns out that the flock of sheep they had just encountered were Pokémon that Grandpa Fu was feeding.

Stepping out of the station, following the endless stream of people, Xia Mu and Foam Squirrel arrived at the Winged Square.

Humans and Pokémon can travel through the world, and you can see Pokémon unique to different regions.

The foam squirrel clung tightly to Xia Mu, observing her with curious eyes.

This was the first time the little guy had ever seen such a lively place; there were as many Pokémon as rice.

In the center of the square stands a towering tree, beneath which a group of people are gathered.

Every now and then you can hear voices talking about moves and free stuff.

"Free eggs?"

Driven by curiosity, Xia Mu moved closer.

It's human nature to join in the fun, especially when there are free gifts to be given away.

After listening for a while, I realized that they weren't giving away eggs for free, but rather skill learning machines.

The other party poses a riddle, and if you guess it correctly, you get a skill device.

"Everyone, please be quiet. Now let's hear the first question."

The crowd quieted down, and everyone pricked up their ears.
