Pokémon Ranch Story

"I'll give you a hint."

"It was originally a Pokémon from the sea, aiming to reach the summit, but by a twist of fate it ended up on a snow mountain. Due to the change in its environment, it gained a pair of large pincers and a warlike personality."

"Well……"

With her hands covering her head, Serena's little face scrunched up.

The mother, who was walking in front, reminded her, "Salina, we just watched their boxing match!"

"I know!" Serena exclaimed in realization. "It's called Competitive Hairy Crab, right, brother?"

"A pair of big pincers, doesn't look very smart."

“Yes!” Xia Mu gave an affirmative answer, placing his large hand on Serena’s head.

Serena's assessment was correct. Competitive hairy crabs prefer to fight rather than think, regardless of whether they can win.

A typical stubborn, headstrong personality.

The three of them went to the restaurant for a simple dinner and then went back to their rooms to sleep.

After a day of playing, I'm now free and fatigue has suddenly overwhelmed me.

Even Morbeco was no exception; Xia Mu was still wiping its body!

The little guy was already drowsy, nodding vigorously.

It's kind of it to have kept Serena company all day.

After a quick wash, Xia Mu held the fragrant foam squirrel in her arms and soon drifted off to sleep.

In the dead of night, a cat-like Pokémon sniffed the air in the hotel corridor and placed the berry it had found in front of a room door.

Before the hotel security guards could spot it, the cat-like Pokémon swiftly leaped onto the roof, found a comfortable spot, and lay down, licking its dark fur.

The oily outer layer of hair fell off, revealing its original color.

This cat-type Pokémon has beautiful white fur and a bright red "king" character pattern on its forehead.

Chapter 125 Losing Teeth and the Shakyamuni Fruit

The next day, early in the morning.

Foam Chipmunk and Morbeco were clamoring to go out and play, so Xia Mu had no choice but to open the door for them.

Just as he was about to take another nap, his nose felt itchy. He groggily opened his eyes and saw the foam squirrel laughing and looking at him.

"Lili!"

Seeing that he was awake, the foam squirrel held up the tree fruit in its hand and placed it in front of him.

"This is... the fruit of Shakyamuni Buddha."

Xia Mu rubbed his eyes hard, thinking he was still half asleep.

He took the fruit and examined it in his palm; the control panel then appeared.

[Shakuhachi: A rare tree fruit, its exterior is encased in a very hard shell, while the inside is sweet and soft like cream, making it one of the best fruits for making sweet bolognese.]

As expected, it was a Shakyamuni fruit. Xia Mu's gaze towards the foam squirrel changed.

Has this little guy's good luck really gotten this bad?

You can find tree fruits of this caliber just by going outside.

"Foam Chipmunk, where did you find this berry?"

When Natsuki asked, the foam squirrel gestured with both its hands and feet.

"Lili~"

(It's right at the doorway! Morbeco even tripped over it! Hehe.)

As he finished speaking, the foam squirrel chuckled to himself.

After searching the room, he picked up Morbeco, who was hiding in a corner.

"Let me see, are you hurt anywhere?"

"Mobe!"

Morubek looked aggrieved, his little nose was red, and his front teeth were crooked from the fall.

"How did you fall like this?" Xia Mu comforted him with heartache, and asked Morubek to open his mouth so he could see.

After shaking it twice, Xia Mu suddenly felt that there was another one inside.

"Is it teething?" I turned Morbeco over to examine its fur, and the color had become dull.

"Thank goodness, consider this tooth as having fallen out early. I can't eat or drink too much for the next few weeks."

"Mobe~"

Upon hearing Xia Mu's explanation, Morubek screamed in terror, "What's the difference between not letting it eat and drink as much as killing it?!"

"Good girl! Just don't eat hard things."

Xia Mu soothed it, then secretly touched Morubek's teeth with one hand, and pulled hard when it wasn't paying attention.

The already loose front tooth fell out.

"Mobe??OO"

Before Morubek could react, with tears still welling up in its eyes, Xia Mu handed it mouthwash and urged it to rinse.

"Don't just stand there, rinse your mouth first."

"Mobe!"

As she rinsed her mouth, Morube realized what was happening, and tears streamed down her face as she spat out bloody water, crying, "Morube... Morube!"

"After rinsing your mouth, you should throw your teeth under the bed, otherwise they won't grow back."

Xia Mu touched his head and reminded him.

"Mobe~"

"No way!" Xia Mu shook her head. "Give me your teeth, I'll bandage them up for you, and then you can throw them under the bed when we get back."

With tears welling up in his eyes, Morubek happily agreed and handed the tooth to Natsuki.

Xia Mu helped it wash its teeth, then wiped them clean with a tissue, wrapped them in a cloth, and put them in the small pouch on Morubek's chest.

Anyway, I can't eat hard things now, so I'm not afraid of food contamination.

After doing all that, Xia Mu got dressed and squatted down by the door to search.

He soon discovered a tuft of unusual hair, its black color resembling that of a burnt hair, and it felt sticky and oily to the touch.

This is the Pokémon that Xia Mu encountered on his first day here. It truly lives up to its reputation as a cat-type Pokémon.

Aloof and difficult to approach.

Knowing that the fruit was given to him by the fire-spotted cat with its fur singed, Xia Mu carefully kept the custard fruit, intending to use it to try making a sweet pudding.

After having breakfast with my mom and Serena, I learned that they planned to take a day off today.

While enjoying their vacation, Natsuki asked her mother to look after her troublesome Pokémon.

As for Serena, the little one can just play.

For example, right now, she's teasing Morbeco and feeding it treats.

Normally, Morubek would open his mouth and wait patiently to be fed.

Today was different. Morubek slurped up a bowl of porridge slowly, and when Serena offered him food, he twisted his body, choosing to ignore it.

"Salina, stop teasing it. Morbeco just knocked out its front tooth and can only eat liquid and soft food now."

Xia Mu explained to his family that Morubek was also quite unlucky.

"Morbeco, here's your little cake."

Serena immediately placed the sweet cake in front of Morubek.

The greedy little guy still managed to straighten his body little by little.

"Mobe~"

(Let's eat together!)

"Okay, okay!"

……

After breakfast, I took all my Pokémon out for a walk and fed them.

Xia Mu then went to Kangaskhan's side and examined the Pokémon egg.

There's about a day left until hatching, which is expected to happen tomorrow.

As the incubation period approaches, the eggs become increasingly active.

Several more cracks appeared on the surface of the eggshell.

"Thank you for your hard work, Kangaskhan."

After confirming that everything was normal, Xia Mu returned the egg to the Kangaskhan.

"Lung lang!"

The marsupial shook its head; it was what it should do. It carefully placed the egg into its pouch and placed its paw over it.

Summon the Noivern Dragon and prepare to set off.

Before leaving, Xia Mu checked on Mini Fu's condition.

Perhaps because the Alola sun is hotter, Minifox has accumulated energy much faster through photosynthesis, reaching a critical point, and is now just one opportunity away from evolving.

In the normal world, Pokémon do not evolve immediately once their energy level is reached.

Often, a specific opportunity is needed to bring out the energy within the body.

For example, evolving during intense battles or using special items.

"Don't rush it," Xia Mu told Mini Fu, "just let it take its time and let nature take its course."

After settling the Pokémon in and giving them 1,000 League Coins to buy snacks, Xia Mu rode Noivern to the dessert shop.

Today he will learn Baofen's advanced production techniques, and he will be considered a master only if he can complete the work independently.

All that's left is to practice more and accumulate experience.

The Alola chefs had no intention of keeping anything to themselves, sharing all the experience and skills they had accumulated over the years.

"Teacher Xia Mu, this is all I can teach you. Now, you will make a complete Bao Fen on your own."

“Okay!” Xia Mu nodded and took out the custard fruit and the melons he bought from the roadside fruit shop.

This is one of the common tree fruits, but its sweetness is extraordinary. When combined with custard fruit, it can create a super sweet bacon.

It has a sweet taste, like a gift from nature, and it can grow very, very large.

With the main ingredients prepared, Xia Mu tossed them into a pot of cold water and heated them little by little.

A moment later, a rich, almost viscous sweet aroma wafted out, and Xia Mu poured in the batter mixed with Moo Moo fresh milk.

With focused concentration, he stirred the batter little by little, as the flame and batter underwent three changes.

First, heat with a red flame. At this point, the batter is very thin, so it's not advisable to use strong force; instead, stir it slowly and evenly.

Then comes the yellow flame, at which point the batter turns slightly yellow. You can apply a little more pressure to prevent the batter from sticking to the pan.

Finally, the blue flame will finish the process. At this point, the batter will turn brown, and you need to stir it vigorously. If you stop stirring even slightly, the batter may stick to the pan.

Just as Xia Mu was making the dessert, a Pokémon came to the outside of the dessert shop, attracted by the sweet aroma.

The baked bacon is soft and chewy, with a light fruity aroma that perfectly brings out the flavors of custard apple and guacamole.
