Pokémon Ranch Story

Legendary Hunger-Resistant King!!!

After confirming that the two were alright, Xia Mu asked the motorcycle lizard to go to the chicken coop and bring the chickens out for some fresh air.

He then walked toward the cave.

From this side, the little buzzing bats are ready to take off.

Today is the semi-final of the Baby Cup, and Buzzbat has taken three spots.

The rookie trainers in Sara City this year personally experienced the fear of being dominated by dragons.

Their resistance only excited the three-headed dragon even more.

"You don't need me to accompany you to the semifinals either?"

Xia Mu stroked the large ears of the buzzing bat with his palm and pressed for an answer.

"Om~"

Enjoying Xia Mu's caresses, the little buzzing bat rubbed its face against his palm.

Tell Xia Mu not to worry about them; they are capable of fighting alone.

Xia Mu is waiting for them on the ranch; they will bring the championship trophy to Xia Mu.

"Alright!" Seeing that Buzz Bat insisted, Xia Mu stopped pressuring him.

He hung a bag on the buzzing bat, took out something from it, and explained, "This is an orange fruit. Eat one when you're tired or hungry, and it will quickly restore your strength."

He moved his finger away from the blue berry and pointed to the pink berry next to it, "This is a Peach Berry. Remember to eat it after battling a Poison-type Pokémon. It can cure most poisons."

"..."

Several types of tree fruits that can remove various negative buffs are all packed in the small backpack for future use.

The buzzing bats didn't find Xia Mu's talkativeness annoying; they stared intently and memorized the color of each type of fruit.

Xia Mu's love for them is eternal and unchanging; she will always think of them.

"Buzz~"

Moments later, the buzzing bats all flapped their wings and flew into the sky.

They exchanged a glance, their eyes burning with the fire of battle; they would never let Xia Mu down.

They will repay Xia Mu for his care and concern by winning the championship.

Although Natsuki agreed to let Nombat act alone, it didn't mean he wouldn't send Pokémon to secretly follow behind.

It was still the motorcycle lizard, quietly following behind.

We followed them into Sara City and arrived at the Battle Arena in the city center.

Xia Mu watched the buzzing bat leave, but he didn't have a moment to spare.

Go to the stables and call the heavy mud-drawn horses, telling them that you'll be leaving the pasture soon.

With nothing much to do these days, it's a good time to go out and find stones to pave gravel paths on the pasture.

He didn't want to have to wade through the mud again next time it rained, getting covered in mud from head to toe.

Paving roads requires a lot of stones. It would be best to find a place where Rock-type Pokémon live, where there will definitely be plenty of mineable stone.

It seems I'll have to ask a local Pokémon.

He planned to prepare a few dishes to visit Flame Lion, and also ask the other party to look after the ranch for a week while he was away, so that other wild Pokémon wouldn't come and cause trouble, ruining the fruits of his and the Pokémon's labor.

What kind of food is suitable for Fire-type Pokémon?

Extra spicy large meat skewers are a must, as are boiled sliced ​​meat.

Supplementary foods are also essential for the little lion.

First, conquer the Flame Lion family's stomachs with delicious food, and everything else will be much easier.

In three months, Xia Mu's cooking skills improved by leaps and bounds.

He packed the gifts prepared by the Fire Lion family into an insulated box, summoned three heavy mudsled horses, and directed them to leave the ranch.

Riding a Mudslinger, there was no need to take the main road; the man and his three Pokémon traversed the entire forest.

The leader of the heavy-duty horse-drawn carriages led the way, using a staggering 100,000 horsepower to carve a path through the forest.

Before long, they arrived at the territory of the Fire Lion.

The commotion caused by the mud-pulled horse was immediately noticed by the Flame Lion.

From afar, three little lions ran over, looking delighted, with what appeared to be drool at the corners of their mouths.

"Fire Lion, Little Lion, I've come to see you again."

"roar~"

The Flame Lion responded calmly, but its lion eyes were completely fixed on the insulated box in Xia Mu's hand. It could already smell the delicious food that made its mouth water.

Led by the Fire Lion, they arrived at the cave.

They happened to encounter a female fire lion returning from the hunt.

"Fire Lion, come quickly! I've brought you some delicious food." He called to the female Fire Lion, and at the eager urging of the cubs, he lifted the lid.

The overpowering, pungent smell caused Xia Mu to sneeze repeatedly, Chong Niwanma frowned and retreated behind the group, while the Fire Lion family, contrary to their usual behavior, showed expressions of enjoyment.

That's it!

"Ow~"

The little lions were the first to rush forward, eager to open their mouths and bite.

Before they could act, the Fire Lion couple grabbed him by the scruff of his neck and flung him away.

This is not for children; you might not be able to sleep at night.

"Woo~"

The little lion was not convinced and wanted to go forward and ask for it back.

The male fire lion pinned his head down and made him eat a mouthful of dirt.

I went up and patted the little lions, then put another insulated food container in front of them. "This is for you, eat up."

Little Lion thanks you for watching, let's get right to work.

After the Fire Lion family finished all the food, they enjoyed lying on the rocks.

Xia Mu stepped forward to discuss it with them.

"Flamingo, I'm taking the farm's Pokémon away for a week next month. Could you watch over the house for me for that week?"

"Please! You only need to go to the ranch once a day. I'll cook for you when I get back as payment."

Xia Mu clasped his hands together and looked at the female Fire Lion with his bright eyes.

He knew who was in charge of the small matters.

"He who eats another's food is bound to him; he who takes another's money is bound to him," and Fire Lion found it hard to refuse.

"Hooho~"

"It's a problem!"

It's just making an extra portion of baby food for Little Lion, no big deal at all.

Wild Pokémon would certainly not dare to approach the ranch where the scent of Flame Lion lingers.

After agreeing on a time, Xia Mu called Chong Ni to set off on horseback, but turned back halfway, almost forgetting something else.

"Flamingo, do you know where Rock-type Pokémon live near Route 12?"

Chapter 108 The Diamond Kingdom

The middle section of Route 12 is the boundary between forest and grassland.

Xia Mu brought his horse, laden with mud, here.

According to Flame Lion, there is a group of small diamonds with the Rock and Fairy attributes roaming around here.

The Fire Lions said they had built a small diamond kingdom underground.

There were small drill bits appearing on Route 12, something Xia Mu never expected.

It's important to know that the creation of small diamonds is extremely difficult, requiring conditions of high temperature and high pressure to have any chance of being formed.

Because of their rarity, small diamonds are regarded as 'guardians of the earth's memory' in the Carlos region.

By analyzing their bodies, people can study the geological environment thousands of meters underground, which is of great research value.

Ascending on the back of the heavily armored horse, Xia Mu surveyed the scene ahead from his elevated position.

Before me lay a vast expanse of jagged rocks; not a single tiny diamond, let alone a small fist-sized rock.

"Slightly~"

The eldest horseman, carrying heavy mud, took a step forward and placed his foot on the stone.

The large rock, which looked to be at least a meter tall, was instantly crushed into stone powder.

It's extremely brittle and completely unsuitable for road construction.

Just as Xia Mu was pondering how to find the hidden little diamond, Chong Ni Man Ma Lao Er's calm and unwavering gaze locked onto a spot.

"slightly!"

(Natsuki, something's happened over there.)

"Go over and have a look."

The leader of the heavy mud-drawn horse was at the forefront, his body enveloped in rich ground-attribute energy, ready to unleash its full power.

One person and three horses approached slowly in a long, serpentine formation, and the dark cave entrance hidden behind the rocks came into view.

The cave wasn't deep, and a dangerous red light flashed by in the darkness.

In the quiet environment, a clear crackling sound came from inside the cave, accompanied by several pieces of crystalline mineral flying out of the cave.

"It's the Soul-Hooking Eye." Xia Mu ordered in a deep voice, "Move, Heavy Mud Horse."

"slightly!"

Upon receiving the order to attack, Chongni pulled his horse without hesitation.

Its forelegs were raised high, as if two giant hammers weighing a thousand pounds were smashing into the cave.

A deafening roar, like an earthquake, was heard as the cave, along with the surrounding rocks and soil, collapsed, and the entire cavern crumbled from the outside in.

This is to force out the mysterious Pokémon inside the cave.

If they don't come out, they will be buried.

Even if the opponent is a ghost Pokémon with a physical form, it won't be easy for it.

Just as Natsuki predicted, the Pokémon deep inside the cave fled in panic.

It was met with a 200,000-horsepower impact, with the two heavy mud-drawn horses crashing straight into it like two heavy trucks.

Before Soul Reaper could even retaliate, he was sent flying high into the air, crashing flat on his back to the ground.

In just one moment, Soul Reaper lost his ability to fight.

"come back!"

He beckoned to the horses pulling the heavy mud carts, directing them to dig open the collapsed burrow.

If he guessed correctly, the Soul-Hooking Eyes had just been gnawing on the small diamond fragments.

The heavy mud horse quickly dug open the collapsed cave, revealing the Pokémon that was unconscious and feigning death inside.

It is a Pokémon whose body is made of diamond stones, and its overall shape is cone-shaped.

There is also a pair of protrusions that resemble rabbit ears.

However, the situation of this one is rather bad; all the diamonds embedded in its body have been eaten away, leaving behind empty holes.

Without the adornment of diamonds, its sparkling body becomes dull.
