Pokémon Ranch Story

Xia Mu shared the information about the Super Gourmet Tablecloth with the Pokémon, and the Pokémon all wanted to try it.

"Meow!"

Alola Meowth generously spread out the tablecloth, indicating that everyone could try it out!

The Pokémon then turned their attention to Natsuki, hoping to gain his approval.

Xia Mu didn't want to spoil the fun, but it wouldn't be good if he produced too much food that he couldn't finish.

"Each person can only choose one type of food, and then they must eat it all without wasting any."

"Lung long~"

"Lili!"

"Beibei—"

"Hehe~"

The Pokémon all nodded, indicating that they understood.

Foam Chipmunk was the first to make a bold attempt, making a wish to the Super Foodie Tablecloth.

A moment later, a small cake covered in matcha cream appeared, corresponding to the fact that two eggs that the hens in the farm's chicken coop had just laid were missing, along with some flour and other ingredients.

Super Foodie Tablecloth eliminates the intermediate preparation process.

The foam squirrel took a small sip, frowned slightly, and then turned to Xia Mu with a chuckle.

"Lili~"

(Natsuki's cooking is still the best and most delicious.)

The other Pokémon followed suit and tried it out. Kangaskhan ordered a steak, Lispinner ordered a vegetable salad, and Mudman wished for a giant mud cake.

They all got the food they wanted, but the taste was much worse than what Xia Mu made herself.

Soon the Pokémon lost interest in the tablecloth, but Natsuki thought it was quite nice.

You can ask him to help prepare the ingredients; making juice is also a good option.

It's still quite useful, but unfortunately it only lasts for 60 minutes.

Chapter 96 Night and Dawn on the Ranch

evening.

The hardworking cat helped carry the bags of coffee beans onto the backs of the heavy mudsleds.

They jumped up to act as handrails, preventing the cargo from being thrown off when walking down the mountain path.

With the cats around, Xia Mu has a lot less trouble.

Hiring them to join the ranch was, in hindsight, a very wise decision.

"Kangaskhan, don't forget to change the nutrient solution for the Pokémon egg later."

He flipped himself onto the motorcycle lizard, and before leaving, Xia Mu reminded him of something.

"Lung long~"

Kangaskhan grumbled in dissatisfaction; she was very interested in the Pokémon egg.

The motorcycle lizard led the way, followed closely by three heavy mudslingers.

After walking along the rugged mountain road, you'll see a small truck waiting by the roadside.

Upon seeing them emerge from the end of the road, Galio and Digger Rabbit jumped off the vehicle to greet them.

The mud-brick horses obediently stopped by the roadside; they couldn't be allowed onto the cement road.

"Xia Mu, it seems you've had another great success this time!"

Gale looked at the piles of coffee beans on the back of the heavy mudslinger, admiring them and instructing the Digging Rabbit to help unload the cargo.

"Yes! This is all thanks to the help of the cats."

Xia Mu smiled as he stroked the motorcycle lizard, praising it as he did so.

The cat's ears twitched, and its movements became even more nimble.

Even the motorcycle lizard, who was enjoying being petted by Xia Mu, quickly ran over to help carry things when it heard this.

"Are these the Meowth gang that caused such a stir a few days ago? They don't look like bad Pokémon."

Xia Mu explained the situation to Galio, and then said, "Meow Meow and the others have reformed and are now helpers hired by my ranch."

"I see."

While the two were chatting, the Pokémon had already loaded all the coffee beans onto the truck.

These will be sent to coffee powder manufacturing plants, and the final product will appear in metropolitan areas like Miaret.

Coffee is consumed in huge quantities every day, so its price is naturally not low.

The harvest from the ranch yielded a profit of 40000 Alliance Coins, another bumper harvest that made Xia Mu's empty wallet full.

The two completed the transaction and watched the small truck drive away.

Just as Xia Mu was about to turn around and go back, he heard a loud horn blaring.

The small truck turned back, drifted, and came to a steady stop. Galio leaned out from the passenger seat.

“I almost forgot something important.” Galio took a breath and continued, “Rancher Hein asked me to inform you that the baby Mare has been born.”

After confirming that Natsuki had heard him, Galio hurriedly left.

The small truck made another drift turn and quickly disappeared from sight.

“I didn’t expect the Digging Rabbit to drive so wildly.” Xia Mu shook his head, then stared at the Motor Lizard. “You mustn’t imitate it.”

"Gah~"

The motorcycle lizard stood up, head held high, declaring that it was even more handsome than the burrowing rabbit!

"Reckless driving will bring tears to your loved ones' eyes."

"Moto Lizard, you wouldn't want everyone weeping at your grave while Morubek steals your offerings, would you?"

"Gah?"

The motor lizard froze, finding the thought terrifying.

He shook his head vigorously. He still needed to investigate why Xia Mu and everyone else had disappeared in the future; they couldn't afford to die young.

Immediately, Motor Lizard indicated that he would drive carefully and obey traffic rules.

On the way back, the motor lizard was so slow that even the mud-drawn horse ran ahead of it, complaining that it was too slow.

It was only after Xia Mu repeatedly urged him that the Motor Lizard reluctantly sped up and returned to the ranch before it got completely dark.

......

Nothing happened that night, and the next morning, when it was broad daylight.

Xia Mu got out of bed and began his new day.

I reached out and poked the foam squirrel and Morubek in the blankets, waking the two sleepy little guys.

Smooth down the fur that's crackling and popping from static electricity while they're sleeping, and use a small comb to separate the matted fur.

Xia Mu then cuddled them in his arms and gave them a gentle rub, pressing his face against their little bellies before finally letting go of the foam squirrel and Morbeco.

Watching the two little ones happily run downstairs, Xia Mu, dressed, picked up the miniature hibiscus from the flowerpot on the windowsill and held it in her palm.

When we first met, Mini Fu was smaller than the palm of my hand and looked tiny.

What now!

It takes Xia Mu two hands to hold it up; the fruit on top, used to store olive oil, is plump and round.

The skin of the small body below has darkened due to prolonged sun exposure.

Mini Fu has accumulated a large amount of energy and will soon complete its evolution.

Evolving into Orion will produce a particularly fragrant olive oil, and Xia Mu is especially looking forward to how delicious it will be to make dishes with it.

"Help me up!"

Mini Fu, still half asleep, rubbed against its palm to express its affection.

After gently soothing her and adding some fertilizer to the flowerpot, Xia Mu put the miniature hibiscus back in.

Pick up the Squirtle watering can next to it and water Mini Fu.

Enjoying Xia Mu's meticulous care, Mini Fu adjusted its posture to better bask in the sun, eager to grow up quickly.

He walked towards the nursery next to the master bedroom, helping the kangaroo change the nutrient solution in the incubator, while also keeping an eye on the eggs.

The kangaroo shared the amusing stories from last night with a delighted expression, "Lol~"

Stroking the Kangaskhan, Xia Mu laughed, "You must be imagining things. The Phiona inside the egg hasn't even fully formed yet!"

"Long~" The Kangaskhan picked up the incubator and put it into its pouch, then turned away, ignoring Xia Mu.

She really felt it last night, and was so excited that she couldn't sleep all night.

Xia Mu poked his head out from behind the Kangaskhan, "Big Brother, you can talk to it more! Maybe Phiona can hatch ahead of time."

"Lung lang!"

With its pouch held tightly, the Kangaroo stood up excitedly, looking at Xia Mu with anticipation.

"real."

Xia Mu nodded, indicating that prenatal education, similar to that for fetuses, does have some effect.

Having received a definite answer from him, Kangaskhan sat down in a corner and muttered to the elf egg in its pouch.

Sharing what was happening on the ranch with it, no one noticed that the fairy egg swayed almost imperceptibly, as if telling the kangaroo that it was listening.

After reminding the kangaroo to come down for breakfast, Xia Mu brushed her teeth as she walked down the stairs.

He encountered some cats playing on the stairs, and a ball of yarn rolled to his feet.

Good morning! Meow meow

Meow! (～￣▽￣)～

"Meow~ヽ(?ω?)ゝ"

"Meow--（(????)??）"

The one that greets you lazily is the regular Meowth; the one that greets you coolly with its paws in its pockets is the Alola Meowth; and the one that greets you energetically and stylishly is the Galar Meowth.

The three cats belong to the same species, but their personalities are completely different.

Push open the door of the ranch cabin.

The young women, along with the mud-covered horses, all came over to greet him and welcome the new day together.

correct!

Three little buzzing bats were also there, yawning. After several days of training, they had mastered new tricks.

My strength has increased again, I'm so happy!!!

Chapter 97 Speeding and Mare the Sheep

"There are some dishes I've prepared in the refrigerator; you can eat them if you're hungry."

In front of the cabin, Xia Mu introduced it to the cats.

"If you can't get it, you can ask a Kangaskhan for help."

"I'll trouble you with the weeding work in the orchard."

"Meow!"

"Lung long~"
