Pokémon Ranch Story

Turning his gaze away, Zhimi replied, "There are wild Pokémon battling in the waters ahead."

"Ok?"

Xia Mu looked up at the sea in confusion.

The sea was calm and still; not a single Pokémon could be seen.

“It’s on the seabed.” Zimi pointed to the raging currents coming towards them not far away. “That should be the Gyarados we’re looking for.”

"I wonder which Pokémon he was fighting?"

After a brief discussion, the two decided to step back and try to avoid being affected.

Just after the two left, the sea suddenly became turbulent.

Immediately afterwards, a huge waterspout burst out of the sea, accompanied by a deafening roar of anger.

"Roar!"

It's Gyarados.

With its gaping maw and blood-red eyes, this Gyarados was in a state of extreme ferocity; it had been thoroughly enraged.

The unrestrained release of power, the roars it emitted carried a special signal.

Xia Mu and Zhi Mi both changed at the same time.

"Oh no, Gyarados is calling for other Gyarados."

A single Gyarados in the wild is not something an ordinary trainer can handle.

Its destructive power is enough to easily destroy a small town.

For this reason, Gyarados and Megalodon are both known as "sea bullies," receiving the same treatment as the Beedrill colony in the forest.

If we're talking about Pokémon that's even more dangerous than Gyarados, it's a Gyarados in a state of extreme rage.

In this state, Gyarados will lose all its sanity.

It will also summon other Gyarados.

"Turtle-footed giant armor, protect Xia Mu."

Feeling the sea gradually boiling, Zhimi didn't forget to give some advice.

"Turtle feet!"

And Natsuki? He's searching for a Pokémon that will enrage Gyarados.

With its pink fins cleaving through the waves, the aquatic Pokémon shot towards Xia Mu like an arrow released from a bow.

"Mwah~"

“It’s your light cod!” Natsuki exclaimed in surprise. “I should have known.”

It's active in the waters near Sara City and has the audacity to provoke Gyarados; it could only be this one.

With half its body above the sea, the Light Cod used its mental power to drive away the Tortoise-Foot Giant Armor, exhaling a series of bubbles as if to say something.

"Let's go, this is not something you can interfere with."

As a Psychic-type Pokémon, Lightcoat has exceptionally keen senses.

Several malevolent Pokémon were approaching at an extremely fast speed in the distance and would arrive at this sea area in a few minutes.

Shimi's gaze also turned over, curiously observing the Light Cod, this Pokémon that had traveled across the ocean.

"No need to worry." As Xia Mu directed the giant armored turtle to approach the light sturgeon, he noticed the pink bone spurs that had broken off.

It suffered considerable injuries in the battle with Gyarados.

"Boom!"

The light-bodied cod was a little anxious. It recognized the human in front of it and had helped him complete a transformation.

Otherwise, it wouldn't care.

These mindless creatures can't hurt it; it can leave whenever it wants.

Staying now is just stalling for time.

Not far from the sea where Gyarados was located, a fish-shaped Pokémon with a pitted surface was carrying a translucent blue egg.

After swimming for a while, this Pokémon, known as a 'living fossil,' suddenly doubled in speed, swimming outwards at its fastest pace ever.

On the other side, torrential rain poured down, and several terrifying auras approached.

"Zimi, you take care of that enraged Gyarados. I'll handle things here, okay?"

Zhimi showed the keystone and nodded confidently, "No problem."

Xia Mu threw the Poké Ball in his hand.

Frying fish!

Chapter 86 Gyarados: Roar! ...

Gyarados: "Roar~"

Millerton: "Boom boom boom!"

Dozens of bolts of lightning struck down from the clouds, hitting the Gyarados that were just emerging.

The Gyarados felt a tingling sensation all over its body from the electric shock, and it straightened up, standing upright.

Seeing this, Xia Mu looked at him strangely.

These Gyarados brought this upon themselves; the rain they summoned ironically became Milton's advantage, ensuring that his Thunderbolt attack would not miss.

For a moment, the Gyarados were in dire straits, like ants on a hot pan.

"Longga~"

Milerton descended slowly, emerging from the clouds, its cold electronic eyes scanning Gyarados.

A group of Gyarados that looked extremely fierce became incredibly docile after being struck by lightning.

Upon seeing Milton, they all lowered their proud heads.

I'm scared! I'm scared!

The commander, somewhat timidly approaching the giant armored turtle-footed creature, shrank back beside it.

Getting an electric shock must hurt a lot!

Watching the humans disappear into the distance, the light-bodied cod followed closely behind, afraid of being caught in the crossfire.

Xia Mu stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, not hesitating to praise him, "Well done! Millerton."

Milton chuckled, pointing his alloy claws at Gyarados, as if asking him, "What should we do with these guys?"

Xia Mu chuckled as his gaze fell upon the group of Gyarados. The best ingredients had conveniently been delivered to his doorstep.

Ten minutes later, looking at the pile of deep blue dragon scales beside him, each one the size of a washbasin, he waved to the Gyarados.

In the blink of an eye, the Gyarados scattered and fled as if heading towards the deep sea.

Mom, you scared me to death!

I will never dare to come here again.

Each of these dragon scales beside me contains rich dragon-attribute energy.

The fish scale jelly made from them must be extraordinary; the three little buzzing bats are in for a treat.

After dealing with Gyarados, Xia Mu looked to the other side.

The battle over there was also nearing its end.

It's just a Gyarados; it's no match for Zymi.

His attention shifted to the light-footed cod that was following closely behind him, and he asked curiously.

"Why did you fight with Gyarados?"

The clever, light-bodied cod blew bubbles, "Pop pop~"

After observing for a while and listening to the lizard's reaction, Xia Mu roughly figured it out.

"You're doing this to protect an egg, right?"

Boop!

Light Cod nodded vigorously.

Just as Xia Mu was talking to the Light Cod, Shimi returned riding Blastoise, holding a Poké Ball in his palm.

"Xia Mu, are you alright here?"

He shook his head. "Gyarados has returned to the deep sea. What about you? You caught that Gyarados."

Zhimi said, "This Gyarados has mastered the rare Dragon Dance and Outrage moves, making it very worthwhile to train."

"Congratulations, Zhimi, you've gained another great general."

Xia Mu could already imagine what this Gyarados would look like in battle.

With Dragon Dance buff and Outrage, combined with the Overconfidence ability, it's powerful enough to sweep the enemy team once it's fully developed.

No wonder even the picky Zhimi was tempted.

Having completed their mission, the two were ready to return.

Before leaving, Natsuki extended an invitation to the light-footed cod.

Invite it to visit the ranch.

After giving a faint reply, the light cod plunged into the seabed and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

It swam swiftly in one direction, following the call from the heavens.

That's the direction where Xiamu Ranch is located.

When the two reached the shore, it was still before noon.

At Zhimi's enthusiastic invitation, Xia Mu had no choice but to come to his restaurant.

I made a fish scale jelly using the scales of other fish-shaped Pokémon.

Zhimi was amazed, never expecting that such inconspicuous fish scales could be made into a delicacy.

With the dipping sauce, it tastes quite good.

Anyway, Zhimi enjoyed the meal very much.

After tasting it, Zhimi made up his mind.

Looking at Xia Mu earnestly, he asked, "Teacher Xia Mu, do you have any idea about selling this fish scale jelly recipe?"

"Zhimi, if you want to make it, just take it." Xia Mu waved his hand, saying indifferently.

"No, no, no." Zhimi shook his head and slowly revealed his thoughts.

He wanted to make this dish a recruitment item for his seafood restaurant.

"I see!" Xia Mu understood, and after a moment's thought, said, "Then give me 1 Alliance Coin."

“This…” Zhimi was stunned; he had already prepared himself for a major hemorrhage.

But Xia Mu's words caught him completely off guard.

Zhimi sighed and thought for a moment before saying, "How about this, Teacher Xia Mu? I'll give you 10% of the profits from the fish scale jelly dish. What do you think?"

"Isn't this too much? I'll just pay for it next time I come to eat here."

The two were already friends, and it was just a matter of sharing a cooking recipe.

"Just 10%."

Zhimi's tone was certain and firm.

Before leaving, Xia Mu gave the recipe for fish scale jelly to Zhi Mi, along with his bank card number, and somehow ended up with a fixed monthly dividend.

Shaking his head, Xia Mu didn't take it too seriously.
