Pokémon Ranch Story

Morpeko is a rodent-like Pokémon based on the hamster.

Because its cheek pouches constantly generate electricity, it is always hungry. And because its stomach is small, it is always eating, consuming the same amount of food as a Snorlax every day.

It's really a bit of a challenge for the three cats to take care of Morupeko.

They wouldn't steal ranchers' grain unless they were truly unable to find food.

They specialize in both sweet and savory cereals, which are inexpensive flavored cereals.

They don't even steal the fruit from the trees.

This is the latest news Xia Mu received from Galio in the past few days: the cats are still quite sensible, and the damage they caused is still within the rancher's acceptable range.

"Morbeko?"

Xia Mu muttered to himself, his gaze falling on the three meows, "I can let you leave for now, but you have to bring Morbeko to the ranch."

"Meow—" Alola meowed warily and backed away, as if to say, "Don't even think about threatening us with our companions."

Galar Meowth rubbed its paws together in preparation for an attack, while the regular Meowth vigorously rubbed the gold coins on its forehead, nervously staring at Natsuki.

"They're quite loyal!" Xia Mu thought to herself, then turned to explain to the cats.

He wouldn't believe their one-sided story; he needed to meet Morubek in person.

The clever Alola Meowth understood Natsuki's meaning and gave him a soft meow, "Meow?"

"If you really run away and get caught, you'll be sentenced to 20 years in prison, and you'll be locked up until you die of old age!"

Xia Mu smiled as she uttered extremely cruel words, adding, "Little Morbeko will also be adopted and taken away by other humans, and you will never see it again."

"Meow~"

The three cats all took a step back in unison, they were so scared!

A moment later, the meows began to murmur.

Meowth and Galar Meowth stayed at the ranch as hostages, while Alola Meowth went to bring Morpeko over.

As the Alola Meowth ran into the forest, the two Meowths beside it waved goodbye with reluctance.

Xia Mu squatted down and pinched and rubbed them.

Regular cats have soft fur that feels comfortable to stroke, but Galar cats are different; their fur is as hard as steel needles.

The two cats closed their eyes, looking as if they were ready to die, letting Xia Mu bully them.

Rubbing his forehead, Xia Mu asked with a smile, "Are you guys still hungry? Why don't you come and have breakfast together?"

Chapter 92 The Noisy Bird's Letter

"Brother, what kind of Pokémon is this?!"

With a piece of bread in her mouth, Serena reached out her little hand straight for Galar Meow Meow, showing great curiosity.

"Sit still and eat your food properly." Xia Mu slapped him, his expression serious.

"Oh!"

Serena stuck out her tongue and pushed the extra bread in front of her towards Galar Meow Meow, "Here, eat it all."

After quickly finishing her bread, Serena slid off her chair and rushed outside, saying, "Brother, I'm full, I want to go out and play!"

He shook his head helplessly and asked the motorcycle lizard to help follow along.

Serena divided the extra bread evenly between the two cats, saying, "You two eat more."

"Meow!"

With its cheeks bulging, Meow Meow was flattered.

They quickly waved their hands to indicate that they couldn't eat anymore and that these could be left for the Alola Meowth.

"Okay, then let's leave it for now."

After breakfast, Xia Mu walked towards the lake.

Upon seeing his arrival, the Light Cod used its psychic powers to control the Pokémon Egg to float towards it.

Upon touching this legendary Pokémon egg, the panel naturally unfolds.

[Phiona's Egg: The fairy egg given as a gift by the Azure Sea Prince. Don't forget to give Phiona some delicious coconut soup. Remaining incubation time: 29 days, 19 hours, 21 minutes, and 33 seconds]

It will hatch in about a month. When I gently touch the egg, it trembles slightly, as if it is greeting me.

"Be good, okay! I'll go to Sara City later and buy you an incubator."

As one of the legendary Pokémon, Phiona has its own unique characteristics.

For example, it cannot be separated from water during incubation, which is why Xia Mu did not carry it with her.

With an incubator, it's different. You can put the baby animals in the kangaroo's pouch and take them anywhere without worrying about accidents.

"Light cod, do you want to eat?"

"Mwah~"

The slender cod shakes its head, indicating that it is undergoing ascetic practices and should not eat large quantities.

As for the ancient coelacanth, it only eats mayflies.

After checking on the status of the Pokémon eggs, Xia Mu began her daily farm work.

Two hours had passed by the time everything was reviewed.

Summon the motorcycle lizard and leave the marsupial to guard the house.

Natsuki took Serena to the Salo Gym and let her play with Korini, promising to pick her up later.

With her best friend by her side, Serena skipped and hopped into the gym without a second thought, while he rode his motorcycle to the department store.

"Hello, how much does this incubator cost?"

The sales assistant looked at me with enthusiasm, saying, "This is the latest Infinite Incubator from the Vladali Institute. When used with this special nutrient solution, it can speed up the hatching process by one-third."

"Hi~"

I'm somewhat tempted.

"how much is it?"

"New product launch, with discounts up to 50,000 Alliance Coins."

"Swipe your card."

When Xia Mu left the department store, she had an incubator in her arms and a large bag of nutrient solution in her hand.

"Longga~"

Curiously observing, the Motor Lizard wondered, "Can a single layer of glass really speed up the hatching process?"

He nimbly flipped himself onto the motorcycle lizard and commanded, "Let's go back to the ranch and try it out first."

With the motorcycle lizard running at high speed, Xia Mu returned to the ranch in just a few minutes.

A group of Pokémon immediately surrounded Natsuki.

The foam squirrel took a large leaf from its fluffy tail and handed it to Xia Mu.

"For me?"

"Lili!"

The foam squirrel explained that a large-billed finch had just delivered it, saying it was a letter the chattering bird had asked it to deliver.

The motor lizard was very curious and stood up, urging Xia Mu to take it apart and take a look.

Even the heavy mud-drawn horse squeezed its big head in, all wanting to be the first to see it.

Unfold the leaves, and there are no words inside.

The painting is outlined with very simple lines, with a bird's claw pattern and charred marks from being struck by lightning.

Upon seeing this, two Pokémon came to mind.

It's a chattering bird and a lightning bolt bird; they're announcing that everything is alright.

Looking at the main subject, there is a lake, and a Pokémon is sleeping in the lake. Its abstract shape looks like a mushroom.

The mushroom still lives in the lake; it couldn't be the one he was thinking of!

The legendary Pokémon that inhabit the three lakes in the Sinnoh region are the Three Ravens, representing emotion, courage, and wisdom respectively.

I just don't know which one it is?

There's no way around it, the painting of the noisy bird is too abstract, it's as if they couldn't bear to add more strokes. He's already very impressive to be able to analyze so much.

The Pokémon surrounding him blinked hard, looking just like Louis XVI who couldn't find his head.

"Lili~"

(Did you understand?)

"Gah!"

(What on earth is this noisy bird drawing? I can't understand it at all.)

"Slightly" x3

The heavy mud-drawn horses all nodded in agreement, indicating that the motor lizard was right.

"Lung long~"

(Xia Mu seems to understand; let's ask her.)

Pairs of eyes were fixed on Xia Mu, and the Pokémon also wanted to know about the current situation of Zapdos.

Xia Mu carefully put away the leaf letter, and then casually rubbed the foam squirrel.

"The chatterbirds are currently in the Sinnoh region and are not in danger."

The foam squirrel called out expectantly, "Lili?"

"No, that won't work! The Sinnoh region is very, very far away from us."

"Li~"

The foam squirrel lowered its head in disappointment, and Xia Mu had to comfort it for a while before calling Hua Beibei to take the foam squirrel to find pretty flowers.

After dismissing the foam squirrel, we headed towards the lake.

Pick up the Manaphy egg guarded by the light cod, place it in the incubator filled with nutrient solution, and check the status information in between.

Fiona's egg: 24 days remaining incubation time

"It was only reduced by one-sixth, which is within my expectations."

Xia Mu understood and withdrew his gaze.

Legendary Pokémon eggs are destined to be different from ordinary Pokémon eggs, requiring massive amounts of nutrients.

Look at the nutrient solution displayed on the incubator; it can only last for a maximum of 6 hours.

Changing it every six hours is another big expense.

"Longlong?"

The Kangaskhan that had been following closely behind Xia Mu approached, eagerly eyeing the Pokémon egg.

Xia Mu patted the Kangaskhan's shell and handed it the Pokémon egg, saying, "Lao Da, you're in charge of taking care of it!"

"Lung long..."

Upon hearing this, the kangaroo waved its hands in alarm. It had no experience in incubating eggs and was afraid that something might go wrong.

Xia Mu gave him an encouraging look and solemnly handed over the incubator with both hands.

On the ranch, no one is better suited to take care of children than a marsupial.

Consider it as accumulating experience a few months in advance.

Encouraged by its trainer, Kangaskhan nodded earnestly.

Zhengzhong took the incubator from Xia Mu and carefully placed it into the nursery bag.
