Pokémon Ranch Story

Despite Zapdos's high resistance to Electric-type moves, Milton's sudden thunder attack still caused it considerable damage.

Instruct the chatterbird to go into the cave and talk to the Zapdos, see if it can come out and have a proper talk.

At the same time, Xia Mu gave the noisy bird a few words of advice.

If Zapdos is in trouble, it immediately calls for help, and Milton will rush in at lightning speed.

"Gah-"

The noisy bird flapped its wings and flew into the cave.

Xia Mu picked up the few Zapdos feathers, and information popped up on the panel in front of him.

[Zetzart Feather: A regular feather shed by Zapdos, containing a certain amount of lightning power.]

nice one!

Xia Mu's eyes lit up, and he put them all into his waist bag.

Legend has it that Pokémon are indeed a treasure from head to toe.

I couldn't help but secretly wonder how many feathers I would get if I plucked all of Zapdos's feathers off!

Of course, Xia Mu was just thinking about it.

Rather than turning Zapdos into a ground-dwelling chicken, Natsuki would rather make friends with it.

This way, you'll have an inexhaustible supply of Zapdos feathers.

Jie Jie Jie!

While Xia Mu and the others waited patiently, the chattering bird spotted Zapdos deep inside the cave.

At this moment, Zapdos was covered in dust, its feathers standing on end from the electricity, and a burnt smell wafted through the air.

It's hard to believe that a bird, the king of birds and a being that wields lightning, could one day be injured by the lightning of another.

Although it's just a minor injury, Zapdos can recover at any time.

The loss of face was exceptionally great.

If the other two stinky birds found out, I wouldn't know how to mock it.

This is incredibly embarrassing!

His lifelong reputation was ruined here.

Zapdos buried its head deep in the ground, looking utterly hopeless.

The noisy bird that came in looked around, turned to the flock of birds to the side, asked them some questions about the specific situation, and then flew to the Zapdos.

He patted it with his wings to comfort it, but the words he spoke dealt another blow to Zapdos.

"Quack~"

It's normal that you can't beat Milerton, Zapdos. You didn't beat it last time either, so there's nothing shameful about it.

"Furthermore!"

Zapdos jumped up hastily, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, and retorted loudly, but in the end, its voice grew softer and softer and its confidence waned.

It suddenly realized that it might indeed be no match for its opponent.

They're now blocking my way at home.

"Buzzing sound—"

(You noisy bird, whose side are you on anyway? Why are you taking the other side's side?)

Zapdos chose to pick on the weak and threw a tantrum at the noisy bird.

Chatot has a lot of experience in calming down bird Pokémon.

In no time, Zapdos was calmed down.

He patiently offered his suggestions.

"Quack~"

(The other trainer has also arrived; they've come to reconcile. Why don't we go outside and talk?)

"Gah!"

(Besides, this whole thing started because of you. You insist that I go with you, but I have a whole family to support.)

……

"Ouch~"

Millerton transformed into its battle form, locking its electronic eyes onto the cave while reminding Natsuki, its tail pulling Natsuki behind it.

The cave was filled with a golden hue, followed by Zapdos's slightly tense and cautious body.

It lost both battles, and its initial agreement with the chatterbird was that the chatterbird would win.

Zapdos should join the flock of chatterbirds and listen to them.

Zapdos hypnotized itself; it wasn't doing it voluntarily. It simply had to listen to the chatterbird and couldn't break its promise, nothing more.

It wanted to preserve its last shred of dignity in this way, rather than because it was afraid of Milton.

That's it!!!

After calming Milerton down, Xia Mu took out a high-quality shabu-shabu from her bag as she approached.

At the same time, Milton apologized to Zapdos.

"Zetzart, Milton's attack on you was wrong. Please forgive it. Consider this Sabre as an apology."

"Fuming--"

Zapdos raised its chin, revealing an arrogant expression.

After being pecked twice by the chattering bird, Zapdos reluctantly accepted Natsuki's apology.

It stretched out its long, sharp yellow beak, took a bite, and bit off a piece of sabup.

The aroma of white truffles filled the Zapdos's mouth, startling it for a moment before it squinted its eyes in enjoyment.

They devoured the remaining sabelle with lightning speed, leaving not a single crumb.

good to eat!

Zapdos likes it very much.

After eating Natsume's sabule dish, Zapdos became much less wary of her.

Xia Mu handed over a piece of ordinary shabu-shabu with one hand and stroked Zapdos with the other.

Zapdos looked at the food offered to it, then at the humans.

I'll endure it for the sake of delicious sabule!

Enduring and enduring, Zapdos completely fell into depravity.

It lay lazily on the ground, mouth open as if waiting to be fed.

There was still the aggressive demeanor they displayed when they first met.

Ah!

If it weren't for its bald head, Zapdos would look quite good right now.

But now!

He had a bald head and looked like a clown.

The high-grade Sabulei that Xia Mu fed her earlier had the effect of increasing friendship and also restored Zapdos's condition.

The charred fur from being struck by lightning is gradually returning to its normal color, and the wounds on his body have healed completely.

A moment later, Xia Mu sat down cross-legged in front of the Sea God Cave.

With a motorcycle lizard in his left hand and a marsupial in his right, they guarded him like protectors.

Ahead were Chatot and Zapdos, and the trial began.

Through conversations with them, Xia Mu learned the whole story.

Zapdos followed Lugia to Sora City, where it encountered Chatot and kidnapped it, intending to take it away.

As for the reason, it's thanks to the Chatot's strong affinity for bird Pokémon.

This aroused Zapdos's possessiveness.

The noisy bird would definitely object, as it has its own flock.

They made a bet that they wouldn't force Zapdos if it could defeat Zapdos.

That's how the rest of the story began.

A rich, domineering young lady falls in love with a poor country boy?

Something seems off.

Well, what's done is done, let's make dumplings first.

Out of the corner of his eye, Xia Mu noticed Zapdos's bald head and asked, "Zapdos, will your crest ever grow back?"

"Fuming—"

Zapdos buried its head in the ground.

Don't say that! You bastard.

"How about we go back to the ranch? You know, we humans always have some weird inventions that might just help you grow hair quickly."

"Fuming!"

Zapdos teleported to appear next to Natsuki and gestured for Natsuki to mount it so they could set off quickly.

Chapter 67 Zapdos and Departure

Add roasted black sesame powder inside.

Add crushed walnuts inside.

Pumpkin seed powder, matcha powder, and a trace amount of turmeric powder.

Xia Mu added all the ingredients that could promote hair growth without altering the original flavor of the sabule.

Finally, he didn't forget to add powder made from ground Zapdos feathers.

With a ding-dong notification sound, Xia Mu took the brand-new sabule dish out of the oven.

At the same time, an introduction pops up in front of you.

【

Zapdos Saburley (A+): A dish made with legendary ingredients, possessing extraordinary effects, especially effective against Zapdos.

】

"Success! It was worth adding all the Zapdos feathers."

Xia Mu happily put away the Sabre, preparing to give it to Zapdos to eat.

He's been quite bothered by Zapdos these past few days, with it asking and urging him every single day.

Finally, the perfect [Zephyr Bird Sabre] was created, so much so that the last bit of white truffle was used up.

"Lili!"

Suddenly, the squirrel's cry came from outside the kitchen, and then the squirrel ran towards him.

He reached out and picked up the foam squirrel. "What's wrong, little guy?"

"Lili--"

I'm tired from playing, I miss Xia Mu, and I'm hungry.
