Pokémon Ranch Story

"Meow!"

On the other side, among the three sheep, a little lamb rushed out and ran quickly next to the poop-headed little lamb, scolding him with dissatisfaction.

As Xia Mu took out a pancake and prepared to approach it, she kept observing.

This lamb is quite different from the other four; its skin is not the uniform blue of the Mare sheep.

Instead, it's an exceptionally healthy bronze color, which, paired with a pair of thick eyebrows, makes him look both strong and energetic.

"What~"

The lamb with curly hair picked up a pancake and came to the lamb with poop-shaped hair, offering it the pancake.

The little lamb with the poop-shaped head squealed with delight and pounced on the little lamb with the curly hair, only to be pushed away in disgust, its snot and tears covering it.

The bronze-skinned lamb was very unhappy about this, bleating loudly as if it were blaming someone.

Just as it bleated, another lamb joined in, deliberately blocking the way in front of the lamb with the curled hair.

"Baa baa~"

It was a sweet and adorable little lamb, with a rosy face and bright, sparkling eyes that were particularly endearing.

In an instant, the previously aggressive bronze-skinned lamb stammered and lowered its head shyly.

The last lamb ran in, rescuing both sides from the predicament.

The lamb was exceptionally large, two or three times the size of the other lambs, but it wasn't bad-natured; on the contrary, it was 'kind-hearted'.

Alpacas love these meddlesome Pokémon and promote them to the top tier to maintain ecological stability in their respective areas.

Each of the five little lambs had its own unique characteristics, and he felt a strange sense of familiarity with them.

"Everyone, please don't fight!" Xia Mu squatted down next to him. "I still have a lot of pancakes here, want one?"

"Meow..."

"Baa baa~"

"BAA Baa baa!"

Hearing the incessant bleating around him, Xia Mu was surrounded by five little lambs.

Thanks to the delicious honey pancakes, Mare quickly accepted him, and the two became affectionate.

Seeing that the time was right, Xia Mu took out the empty Poké Ball that he had prepared at his waist.

These are luxury balls he specially bought at the department store; each one costs a thousand League Coins, which is quite expensive.

He first looked at the little sheep with the poop head among the five Mare sheep, and held up the deluxe ball. "Mare sheep, would you like to come to my ranch? There are lots and lots of delicious things to eat at the ranch!"

Speaking of food, this little lamb with a poop-shaped head has stars in its eyes.

Without hesitation, he touched the luxury ball with his head.

It turned into a red light and was captured into a Poké Ball. The Poké Ball didn't even shake during the whole process, and the capture 'ding-dong' sound rang out.

One is done.

The next one is a clever little lamb.

Clever little lamb, truly a clever little lamb.

It immediately understood. It first looked at Hein outside the fence, then at the fluffy sheep's parents, and met their encouraging eyes.

It's time to part ways.

The clever little lamb took the initiative to step forward, touched the deluxe ball that was empty at Xia Mu's waist, and was captured.

Then came the sweet-looking little lamb, who also touched the deluxe ball, followed by the bronze-skinned lamb.

Without breaking a sweat, he subdued four of them in one go.

Xia Mu was still in a daze when his gaze swept over the three luxurious balls that were placed close together at his waist.

Now only that strong little lamb is left!

The little lamb looked left and right, and its companions all made their choices.

It first ran to its fluffy sheep parents and rubbed against them before reluctantly walking towards Xia Mu and touching the deluxe ball in his hand with its forehead.

The five little lambs were easily tamed just like that.

When Xia Mu came to the fluffy sheep, she gave them the last of her honey pancakes as payment.

As they stepped out of the nursery, Hein and his three Pokémon approached.

Hein said, "Congratulations, Xia Mu, on gaining the approval of the lambs."

"This is a two-way choice between us, and I will treat them well in the future."

"That's good." Hein said with emotion, "I'm really going to miss it."

"Oh, by the way, Xia Mu, the lambs only need to have their wool sheared once a month."

"Also, summer is coming soon, and Mareep will shed a lot of wool. We need to tell the other Pokémon to be careful not to inhale too much, or they will get a tingling sensation from the static electricity."

"..."

Hein generously shared all his years of experience raising Mare sheep.

Xia Mu listened attentively, and later took out a small notebook to write down some important points to avoid forgetting them.

For example, when sheep swell to twice their original size, insulated gloves must be worn when shearing them to avoid being shocked and hurt by electric shocks.

Furthermore, the wool shed by Mare sheep regularly is the best material for making carpets, so you should definitely collect it if you have the opportunity.

It's best to provide Mare sheep with a fully enclosed room to collect their molted wool, while also preventing the wool from flying everywhere and causing static electricity to accumulate on the pasture.

Hein's suggestions were all very good, preventing Xia Mu from being completely clueless when raising animals and allowing her to avoid many detours.

They walked together to the ranch gate before stopping to talk.

He placed the foam squirrel, who was curiously examining the luxurious ball around its waist, and the Morpeko, who was still eating, on the top of the Motor Lizard's head, and then mounted it himself.

"Mr. Hein, thank you for your reminder."

"Wait until I raise Mare the sheep to be healthy and strong, then I'll definitely give you a surprise."

"Hahaha~" Hein waved from the ranch gate, "I'll be waiting for that day."

Chapter 99 Sheep Village Under Construction

After saying goodbye to Hein, Xia Mu, with her five lambs, did not rush back to the ranch.

He first glanced at the time, then directed the Motor Lizard to head towards the Fire Lion's territory.

As soon as they stepped into the territory of the Flame Lion, they saw the Flame Lion looking down at them from the highest cliff in the territory.

And three little lions ran towards Xia Mu, tugging at his trouser legs, wanting something delicious.

The little lion's fur is soft, and it feels especially nice to stroke.

"Sorry! I didn't bring you any treats today," she said with a smile, stroking the petting animal.

Seeing that there was no food, the little lion didn't hesitate at all. It broke free from Xia Mu's clutches and ran towards the Flame Lion, chasing and playing around it.

The Flame Lion raised its paw and gently nudged the three little lions, sending them sprawling face-first into the dirt. Disgusted, the lion turned and walked towards Xia Mu without looking back.

In contrast, the three little lions didn't care at all, spitting out the grass in their mouths as if the Flame Lion was playing with them.

They excitedly chased after it, nibbling and biting at the Fire Lion.

Almost forgot.

In the Flame Lion clan, the male Flame Lion, as the leader, often takes on the responsibility of raising the cubs due to his lazy and procrastinating nature.

The female fire lions are responsible for hunting and feeding the pride.

"Hooo~"

Fire Lion stood beside Xia Mu, and while asking him questions, it kicked away a small lion hanging on its thigh.

Tell the Flame Lion that you need items containing a large amount of dragon-attribute energy, and he can exchange them for some of what they need.

After a moment's thought, the Flame Lion readily agreed.

Tell him that you will deliver the item to the ranch once you find it.

After finishing this last thing, Xia Mu hurried back.

He'll be very busy when he gets back; he'll have to build little houses for the sheep.

Xia Mu plans to fence off the entire meadow next to the stables and create a small sheep village for the lambs.

Just as he was pondering, the motorcycle lizard drove across the highway, turned onto a side mountain road, and came to a steady stop next to the ranch gate.

I'm home!!

Foam Chipmunk and Morubek jumped out of Xia Mu's arms one after the other, using their small bodies to squeeze into the pasture and run straight to the pasture cabin.

I almost missed the cartoon!

No matter how much Xia Mu called out from behind, the two little ones ignored him.

With a helpless smile, they watched as the kangaroo beast and the heavy mud-drawn horse gathered around to welcome their return.

"The marsupials are better; they know how to care for people."

Then, Xia Mu was picked up by the Kangaskhan.

After telling the Pokémon about what he had gained on this trip, he took out five Luxury Balls from his waist.

All the Pokémon cast curious glances, anticipating the arrival of a new Pokémon.

Facing the curious gazes of the Pokémon, he didn't keep them in suspense and forcefully threw out the Luxury Ball.

"Everyone come out, we've arrived."

Five beams of light flashed, and five unique sheep appeared around Xia Mu, meeting curious gazes.

"slightly?"

The eldest of the mud-bearing horses stepped forward and shared his favorite mud biscuits with the new family.

Other Pokémon followed suit, and Flabbex gave each Mareep a small flower filled with the nectar they had painstakingly collected.

Seeing this, the three little buzzing bats quickly flew back to the cave, took out the fruit they had collected the night before, and shared it with the lambs.

After nearly two months of growth, a small number of fruits in the first planted orchards have already ripened ahead of schedule.

Xia Mu now uses the small buzzing bats to harvest the main ingredients for her fruit platters.

The kangaroos trotted back to the cabin and took out the snacks that Xia Mu had made for them.

The eggs were delivered by a motor lizard; they were just laid by the hen and are still warm!

The four sheep turned to look at Xia Mu, seeking his opinion.

Xia Mu smiled at the lambs and nodded, saying, "Take them! Everyone is welcoming you to join us."

Just then, a series of exclamations rang out from the side as the little lamb with the poop head was stuffed full.

Everyone was giving it delicious food, and it just couldn't stop eating.

No, that's not right either, except for the mud biscuits given by the mud-drawn horses.

Even the gluttonous little lamb with the poop-shaped head found it hard to swallow, taking a bite and then returning it.

As for the food given by other Pokémon, it was all eaten up by the poop-headed sheep.

With her round belly sticking out, she lay down on the grass and fell fast asleep.

There was no tension or fear of arriving in an unfamiliar place; he simply ate and slept.

Ignoring the maverick lamb, Xia Mu introduced the other Pokémon on the ranch to the other four lambs.

Then, they called out the foam squirrel from the cabin to take the sheep around the pasture so that they could get used to their new environment as soon as possible.

Xia Mu then summoned the Motor Lizard, the Heavy Mudstalker, and the Tasmanian Beast to build unique little houses and living areas for the Mare sheep.

"Heavy mud-bearer and motorcycle lizard, please move all the timber over here."

“Kangaroo, let’s make a fence together and create a living area for the Mare sheep.”
