Pokémon Ranch Story

When the little ones saw that they had returned to the pasture, they all gathered around the mud-drawn horse.

Not far away, Serena came running all the way.

He grabbed the marsupial's leg, sat on its instep, tilted his head back, and opened his arms, looking like he wanted a hug.

They're best friends!

Instruct the kangaroo not to take Serena to dangerous places, and to let her play near the tulip field.

Xia Mu accompanied his mother, introducing her to the existing facilities of the ranch, and also took her to visit the cabin.

The motor lizard initially stayed with them, but soon couldn't stand the loneliness.

It ran off in a flash, and when I saw it again, it was followed by a flock of chickens.

The flock has grown, with the first batch of chicks successfully hatching two days ago. There are eight chicks in the brood, all following the motor lizard.

He took his mother for a walk around the ranch, which he had managed very well.

When introducing the items, Xia Mu couldn't help but show off a bit, as they were all the result of his and his Pokémon's hard work.

As Saki looked along, the look of satisfaction in her eyes grew stronger.

In the blink of an eye, that little boy with a runny nose has grown up and become someone others can rely on.

She even built the ranch herself, which made her very happy and gratified as a mother.

But she still had some doubts. "Xia Mu, do you plan to settle down here and not become a trainer anymore?"

Upon hearing this, Xia Mu shook his head and revealed his own thoughts.

"I don't plan to travel this year. I'll wait until the marsupials give birth to their babies. By then, the ranch will have developed and be on track for another year, and then I can travel again."

Who says becoming a rancher means giving up being a trainer?

He also wants a government position in the league!

"It's good that you have a plan." Mom nodded, and it was rare for the mother and son to talk so much.

Usually, it's through letters.

In addition, Xia Mu had no fixed abode and therefore did not have much interaction with others.

……

"Make way, the last dish is steamed sea bass!"

Xia Mu placed the steaming hot dish in the middle, "Try it quickly."

Serena couldn't wait to pick up a piece with her chopsticks. The delicious fish melted in her mouth, making her squint her eyes in enjoyment.

"Delicious! Brother, your cooking is better than Mom's."

Serena gave the highest praise, then realized she had said something wrong and nervously covered her mouth.

"You little ingrate!" Mom said with a laugh, annoyed. She picked up a piece and tasted it; it was indeed delicious.

"Hehehe!" Seeing that her mother wasn't going to pursue the matter, Serena picked up another piece of fish. "Want some foam squirrel? It's really delicious!"

"Lili~"

The foam squirrel shook its head, its little paws clutching the glutinous rice cake, its cheeks puffed out.

After dinner, it was getting late.

The family was watching TV in the living room, and unsurprisingly, a battle for the remote control broke out.

Watching Serena argue with the foam squirrels, Xia Mu sank into the soft sofa.

The sofa he was sitting on was something he had bought a few days ago for 20,000 Alliance Coins, and it was very comfortable to lean against.

Taking out the Sonic Dragon's Reverse Scale given to him by Ms. Dorasena, Xia Mu pondered what kind of dish he could make with it.

It would be a waste to let the buzzing bat carry it directly, as it would not be able to maximize its value.

He dismissed one approach after another, when out of the corner of his eye he caught sight of the foam squirrel taking out an ice jelly from the refrigerator.

A lightbulb went off in my head—I'd got it!

It can be made into fish scale jelly, a rather unique delicacy.

However, isn't one Sonic Dragon's Reverse Scale too few?

He'd better find some more fish scales.

Soon, Xia Mu thought of a certain Pokémon.

The Gyarados that attacked the Laplace tribe and roamed the nearby waters had plenty of dragon scales for Xia Mu to choose from.

Today is definitely not an option, but tomorrow we can call on Shimi to go and catch Gyarados.

Having decided what to do tomorrow, Xia Mu stood up and checked the time.

"It's getting late, Serena, let's look at it tomorrow."

"It's already nine o'clock!" Serena exclaimed in surprise, turning off the TV herself.

"Brother, I want to sleep with the foam squirrel tonight."

"Alright!" He reached out and ruffled her bun. "You have to take good care of the foam squirrel for your brother."

Luckily, Xia Mu upgraded the cabin in advance, otherwise there wouldn't be enough rooms to sleep in.

Carrying the already snoring Mini-Fo, Xia Mu headed upstairs, with Kangaskhan following behind.

Just as the ranch was quiet, three furtive figures approached from the outside.

"Meow~" (No more meowing)

The gray kitten leaped lightly onto the fence, its cunning eyes scanning the pasture before quickly locking onto the direction of the food.

"Meow!" (You guys wait here for me, I'm going to scout inside.)

After speaking, the gray cat jumped into the pasture without making a sound because of the paw pads on its feet.

We moved forward little by little, taking a few steps and then looking up to check our surroundings.

They succeeded one after another thanks to this vigilance, and today was no exception.

Gray Meow tiptoed closer to the chicken coop, peered through the small window at the chicks and eggs inside, and began to drool, its stomach rumbling uncontrollably.

They haven't had a chance to make a move in the past few days, so the ranchers have become more vigilant and have arranged for Pokémon to guard the area.

As a result, they made a series of mistakes, which were then witnessed.

The cats were afraid of being exposed, so they ran to the other side overnight.

The humans here are indeed still unaware of the news; they can have a good meal today.

The gray cat, its mouth watering, searched for a place to go inside.

After looking around, they found that all the doors and windows were locked.

It can't be opened by itself; we need the black cat (Galarian form) to do it.

But if he takes action, he'll definitely be exposed.

The gray cat thought about it and decided not to alert the enemy so soon.

It crept closer to the ranch cabin, knowing that humans had a rectangular box that could store large amounts of food.

The gray cat slipped through the small door on the main gate, and before it could turn around, a dark shadow loomed over it.

"Meow~"

The gray cat was startled by the sudden appearance of the Pokémon and instinctively used the Hypnosis move.

The motor lizard felt dizzy; the process lasted less than a second.

"Gah?"

The dark thing at the doorway has disappeared.

Chapter 85 Gyarados Attack!

In the morning, the family had breakfast.

My mom called the One-Horned Rhino to prepare to leave; she had a competition to participate in and needed to familiarize herself with the venue beforehand.

"Salina, be a good girl here with your big brother!"

Taking the helmet from Xia Mu, Sachi gave a warning.

Serena nodded like a chick pecking at rice, "Mmm, don't worry, Mom, I'll listen to my brother."

Serena is going to spend a few days at Xiamu Ranch and will pick her up after her mother's competition, so that her mother can focus on training without distractions.

"Phew!" After watching Saki's figure disappear, Serena breathed a huge sigh of relief and eagerly looked at her older brother, "Finally gone, brother, what are we going to play today?"

Xia Mu placed a large hand on Serena's head and said with a smile, "How about I take you to see Korni today?"

"Great! Great!" Serena exclaimed excitedly. "Korne will never expect me to come today. I'm going to give her a big surprise."

First, we need to get the daily work on the ranch sorted out, and little Serena will have to help out too.

After finishing these tasks, Natsuki called for the Motolizard to take Serena and the other person to the Salo Gym.

Ask the staff at the Sara Dojo and you'll find out Korini's current location.

"Can Serena go to the training ground by herself?"

"no problem."

Serena responded in a low voice, and quietly took the foam squirrel and ran in the direction he pointed, probably wanting to scare Korni.

Ignoring the little girl, Xia Mu found Cocobul, the curator, and asked about Zhimi's location.

He still had things to do today; the dragon-attribute dishes he needed to prepare for the buzzing bats needed to be put on the agenda.

Before leaving, Xia Mu found the two little girls.

Korne and Serena hugged each other happily; the two sisters were extremely excited to meet for the first time.

"Salina, your brother has to go out for a bit. He'll be playing with Korne at the gym this morning, and I'll come pick you up at noon, okay?"

"Okay, brother."

Serena agreed.

Korni patted her chest, "Brother Xia Mu, don't worry, I will take care of Serena for you."

Xia Mu stuck his head out and ruffled the heads of the two little girls. Under their pouty glares, Xia Mu smiled and left.

Without wasting time on the way, Xia Mu went straight to the seafood restaurant by the beach.

Shimi was genuinely surprised by Xia Mu's sudden arrival.

After listening to his explanation, Zhimi pondered for a moment and said, "Xia Mu, I know a little about the Gyarados you're looking for."

“That guy attacked several cargo ships. Yesterday, the curator of the Cocoboll Pavilion came to me and asked me to help send it away from the coast.”

Gyarados is a Pokémon with a strong sense of territory, and it will attack any creature that enters its territory.

Its appearance severely hampered shipping.

Zimi took off her apron and called to Blastoise, "Let's go! I'm really curious about that kind of dish made with scales that you mentioned."

The two arrived at the shallows together, where they saw Shimi throw a Poké Ball forward.

"Turtle-footed giant armor, please take Xia Mu with you."

"Turtle feet~"

The giant armored tortoise with seven claws nodded, and as its body shrank, it transformed into a stone raft, complete with its own oars.

Xia Mu stepped forward, and the giant tortoise-foot armor was quite stable.

The area where Gyarados roamed had already been explored, and the two rode their Pokémon directly to that sea area.

As they approached the area where Gyarados roamed, Zimi suddenly stood up and looked ahead, his brows furrowed deeply.

This strange action immediately caught Xia Mu's attention, and he had already grabbed the Poké Ball containing the Motolizard.

"What's wrong, Zhimi?"
