Pokémon Ranch Story

At first, the bubble was only the size of a fist, but over time it grew bigger and bigger, eventually reaching the size of a basketball.

"Amazing!"

Serena applauded enthusiastically, which made the sea lion, Ball Ball, perform even more energetically.

Whispering in the ear of the foam squirrel, Xia Mu put it down.

Bubble Squirrel, run! Call over Flowerbee, the Meows, and the Sheep.

Soon, Pokémon surrounded Popplio.

The foam squirrel spoke first, "Li li~"

(Wow, that's amazing! That's amazing!)

Hua Beibei: "Beibei!"

Meow: "Meow... Meow!"

Mare the sheep: "Mwah mwah mwah..."

The attention of a large group of Pokémon, coupled with the flattery of Bubble Squirrel, made Dewprich feel elated.

The entire Pokémon stood on the bubble, and with the help of the bubble's bounce, it did a 360-degree Thomas Flair in mid-air before landing gracefully.

He then bowed deeply to the group of Pokémon to express his gratitude, showing that the little guy has a remarkable talent for performing.

"Pa bang bang~"

Serena was especially excited, clapping her little hands nonstop until her palms turned red.

The excited shouts from the surrounding Pokémon didn't stop; Popplio's performance was indeed very entertaining.

"Lili~"

(One more, one more!)

As soon as the Foam Squirrel spoke, a host of Pokémon chimed in.

Unable to resist their enthusiasm, the sea lion decided to perform one more act.

It started blowing bubbles, and this bubble was so big that it could fit the entire sea lion inside.

Just as the sea lion Qiuqiu was about to let go and wanted to stand in the water for a while, a breeze blew in from the beach.

The bubbles took flight and drifted towards the forest not far away.

The sea lion quickly chased after it, not wanting its performance to go wrong.

The foam squirrels looked on and followed suit.

A swarm of Pokémon roared and chased after the giant bubble.

It was at this moment that a dark shadow suddenly fell from the sky, crashing straight into the giant bubble.

"Oh~"

(No!)

Popplio, who loves to show off and is very proud, doesn't want to make a mistake in front of so many Pokémon.

But it was still some distance from the giant bubble and couldn't catch up. It could only watch helplessly as the giant bubble collided with the dark shadow falling from the sky.

The expected popping sound did not occur; instead, the large bubble tightly enveloped the Pokémon that had suddenly appeared.

Upon approaching, the foam squirrel circled the large bubble, its little face filled with astonishment.

"Lili!"

(Wow, this was all part of your plan, Ball Ball Sea Lion?)

"Oh?" Ball Ball the sea lion scratched its head, then realized what was happening. "Ooh ooh~"

(Of course, I just noticed that this Pokémon was about to fall, so I used a water bubble to float over and catch it.)

The sea lion Qiuqiu admitted it without batting an eye.

"Lili~"

(What kind of Pokémon is this?)

The Pokémon that gathered around shook their heads; they didn't recognize any of them.

Alolan Meowth: "This looks like a bird Pokémon, but can it really fly when it's so fat?"

Its round body is comparable to Lazy Sheep's, and I seriously suspect that it fell from the plane because it got too fat, and it was definitely not elbowed down by someone.

None of the Pokémon were recognized, so it was Pleasant Goat who suggested, "Meame!"

(We'll take it to Xia Mu; he'll definitely recognize it.)

The Pokémon nodded noncommittally. Natsuki knew a lot of things and definitely recognized the Pokémon inside.

So, with Popplio carrying water balloons, the Pokémon found Natsuki.

As Xia Mu lay down after having Serena apply sunscreen for him, he suddenly felt the sunlight disappear from his eyes.

When he opened his eyes, he saw that he was surrounded by Pokémon.

The foam squirrel jumped onto Xia Mu's stomach and tugged at him with its little hands.

Lili~ Lili!

"Alright, alright, I'll go with you."

After drinking the last sip of juice, Xia Mu picked up the foam squirrel and placed it on his head.

Surrounded by a group of Pokémon, they arrived at the shade of a tree next to Noivern.

Upon approaching, he saw the Pokémon trapped inside the water balloon.

I never expected to encounter two Alolan starter Pokémon in one day.

They're all wild; if you're lucky, you might as well buy a lottery ticket.

"Is it asleep? You're really carefree."

Upon closer inspection, it became clearer: the Pokémon trapped in the water bubble was tilting its head and snoring.

"Milli?"

"Oh?"

The foam squirrel on its head tugged at its hair, constantly asking questions.

"Hey! Be gentle, don't pull my hair out, I don't want to go bald before I'm old."

(＞人＜；)

As the foam squirrel loosened its grip, it patted itself to indicate that it wouldn't go bald.

He rolled his eyes at it, met the curious gazes of the Pokémon, and said.

"This is Rowlet, a bird Pokémon."

Unlike other bird Pokémon, Rowlet has an oval-shaped body.

Its face is white and shaped like an infinity symbol, and its entire body is covered in brown feathers, except for its tail feathers.

There are also two green leaf-shaped ties at the chest, giving the wearer a cute yet serious look.

This is Rowlet, a little guy whose head can rotate 180 degrees. He's either sleeping or looking for a place to sleep during the day.

According to Bubble Chipmunk, Woody Rowlet suddenly fell from the sky.

Xia Mu strongly suspects that Owl might have gotten too sleepy while flying and then fallen asleep in the sky.

Given Rowlet's personality, it's not impossible, and it's highly likely to happen; you could even call it the norm.

Wood owls are so small that they can control their weight to be as light as a leaf.

Don't be fooled by its chubby appearance; it's actually all puffy.

A standard wooden owl is 30cm tall and weighs only three kilograms.

Instruct Ballball the sea lion to pop the bubble, lest Rowlet suffocate.

Otherwise, there will inevitably be another case of bizarre deaths.

Chapter 118 Hajisha, are you really a Pokémon Succubus?

"Gudu!"

Startled awake, Owlman scrambled backward, its leaf-shaped feathers flying wildly as it flapped its wings.

Turn your head ninety degrees and try hard to recall.

Rowlet realized it didn't recognize any of the large group of Pokémon in front of it.

I woke up to find myself kidnapped!

Owl frantically darted around, then floated up lightly and hid in the backpack placed next to the heavy mud horse.

It struggled to squeeze its round head inside, leaving its little green bottom sticking out.

Xia Mu: "..."

Another not-so-bright guy.

Xia Mu opened his backpack and took out the snacks he had brought for the foam squirrels from one side.

Only after making enough room did Woody squeeze his entire body inside, filling it completely.

"Beep beep..."

Back in the safe environment, Woody didn't forget to wave its wings at Natsuki to express its gratitude.

Squeezing Woody's round head feels exceptionally nice.

Rowlet was cuter when it evolved; its appearance was drastically reduced after evolving, and its smaller size made it easy to carry around.

"What?"

The foam squirrel crept over, watching curiously.

"I don't dislike you. Rowlet just doesn't like daytime. At night, Bubble Chipmunk can greet it and get to know it."

Rowlet is based on an owl, a Pokémon that sleeps during the day and is active at night, even more so than Nombat.

"Lili~"

Not being disliked, Bubble Squirrel immediately became happy, its furrowed brows relaxing as it ran to all the Pokémon to tell them.

With the addition of the lively sea lion, Qiuqiu, the atmosphere is noticeably more festive.

Xia Mu lay back down on his beach chair, enjoying the summer sun.

Reaching to the side, I found the cup was empty.

"Go pour two more glasses and drink them slowly." Sitting up again, Xia Mu waved to the Motor Lizard, "Come with me to pour some juice."

"Gah!"

The motorcycle lizard nudged Xia Mu, signaling him to hurry up and get on.

The motorcycle lizard is very sad because it hasn't been ridden for a day.

Xia Mu asked all the Pokémon if they wanted to drink it.

Having received a negative answer, Xia Mu rode the motorcycle lizard towards the outer edge of the beach.

There's a row of buildings selling all sorts of beach supplies, including food, drinks, fishing gear, and more.

Upon arriving here, Xia Mu had to stop and observe.

The crowd formed three or four layers deep along the only road.

"What's going on? It's rare for them to have an event, so I'll have to bring the foam squirrel with me."

Guessing what was going on, Xia Mu grabbed an older man standing on the shoulders of a strange-strong man and learned the details from him.

It turned out that a Pokémon engulfed in flames had suddenly barged in, knocking over many people's food. It was then chased by a group of people and Pokémon and surrounded, demanding an explanation.

A Pokémon that appeared in Alola, engulfed in flames?
