My Pokémon Story of Seasons

In the fairytale ranch, the weather gradually cleared up, and Sweet Bamboo jumped out of the flowerpot and went outdoors.

"Ama ama!"

The fresh air after the rain is truly tempting for plant-type Pokémon.

Sweet Bamboo ran happily to the field and saw Tuotuo Earthworm running out of its little house.

"Worm!"

The moist, soft soil after rain is also extremely attractive to toadworms.

The two Pokémon met in the field and greeted each other cheerfully.

Miltank seems to still be sleeping in the cabin. Tong Hua took four Pokémon out early in the morning, and now only the two of them and the Bebop family are left on the ranch.

"Worm." Worm bent down to let Sweetie jump up, and the two Pokémon went out together, intending to go to the pond to see the Bibirium family.

Since Tutto the Earthworm arrived at Fairy Tale Ranch, he and the Big-tailed Fox family have been visiting each other frequently.

After all, if the worm hadn't accidentally destroyed the dam of the Bigtail Bear family, they wouldn't have ended up settling in Fairy Tale Ranch.

In a sense, the big-tailed raccoon family was very grateful to Tuotuo the worm. Thanks to his bump, they had the opportunity to taste the delicious food made by Tong Hua.

Today, the Big-tailed Porcini family contributes to Fairy Tale Ranch by fishing and raising fish.

Although... Tong Hua, as the ranch owner, hasn't grasped this point yet...

"Worm!"

Arriving at the pond, Tuotuo worm enthusiastically greeted the water.

"Lili?"

One by one, the big-toothed raccoons poked their heads out from underwater. They were busy moving stones to reinforce their nests. When they saw the worms and sweet bamboo visiting, they immediately swam happily to the shore.

The head of the household, the Big-tailed Civet, took a group of Big-toothed Civets out to forage for food when the rain stopped, leaving only these few Big-toothed Civets to guard the house.

"Lili." The big-toothed raccoons came out of the pond and surrounded the worm.

Sweet bamboo jumped off the head of the worm, wafting a sweet fragrance with each hop.

"Beep beep?"

Just then, the patriarch of the family, Big Tail Pomeranian, returned with his underlings, followed by several three-necked bees.

For a moment, the Pokémon's attention was drawn to several unfamiliar three-necked bees. The three-necked bees, in turn, were attracted by the fragrant sweet bamboo.

"Buzz!" "Buzz!" Several bees buzzed as they circled around the sweet bamboo, but they didn't seem to have any ill intentions.

I don't know why they gradually got closer and closer, until they were almost touching Tian Zhuzhu.

"Oh my!" Although Tian Zhuzhu liked the feeling of being held in the middle, it was still a bit too crowded!

The leaves on her head began to spin, pushing away the three bees around her like a fist.

"Beep beep."

Then the takin explained to everyone that they were all wild Pokémon from Windswept Forest, and had settled in a small cave with a Bee Queen.

Lately, at night, a group of supersonic bats and bigmouth bats have been coming to that cave to fight for territory. This is a very common fight in the wild, and the queen bee always manages to drive them away.

But recently, they've been coming more and more frequently, and there are many of them, so they're taking turns attacking the queen bee.

The queen bee was having trouble sleeping at night because of them, and her condition was starting to deteriorate. If this continued, she would eventually lose to those guys.

"Buzz!" The three bees were furious. The queen bee had provided them with shelter, and they wanted to help her.

So, just then, the big-tailed raccoon happened to meet them in the forest today, and thought of bringing them to Tong Hua for help.

The big-tailed raccoon patted its chest and let out a few confident calls, indicating that Tong Hua would definitely have a way to solve this problem. The worm nodded as well, gently patting the three bees with its fur to reassure them.

Just then, Tong Hua's voice came from afar: "Oh? So everyone's here. What's all the fuss about?"

With a Foam Squirrel perched on his shoulder and a Forest Tortoise following behind, his gaze swept over all the Pokémon present.

"Hmm? What are these three honeybees?"

……

While Tong Hua was still trying to understand what had happened by the pond, Yu Fa Su Ren had already started strolling around the ranch.

Just now in Tong Hua's wooden house, Su Ren saw Tong Hua quietly put some money and a certificate of merit into a locked small box.

Of course, what was put in itself wasn't important. What was important was that he "accidentally" glimpsed that there were other things in the box.

Those were six Poké Balls in their shrunken state.

"As expected, they are trainers from other regions."

The circulation of Poké Balls is strictly prohibited in areas under the jurisdiction of the Ranger League. Even tourists visiting from other regions are required to register their Poké Ball information before entering the country.

Furthermore, stricter checks will be conducted upon departure; you must take only the amount you bring with you. It is not permitted to use Poké Balls to capture any Pokémon within the Almia region.

Tong Hua's red and white balls were not used. Apart from the two balls used to capture the grass turtle and the foam squirrel at the beginning, the other four balls were empty.

"However, this kind of news is of no value to me at all. Speaking of which, this ranch is really big..."

The swiftman and the noisy bird walked in the fairytale ranch, stepping on the gravel path, which was much better than the muddy path they had just walked on.

"The environment is really nice... It's good to come to the countryside once in a while to relax. Always seeing the editor-in-chief's grumpy face in the newspaper office only adds to the work pressure."

Suddenly, a small house with a windmill in the distance caught Su Ren's eye, and he couldn't help but stop and take out his camera.

"Snap!"

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a Pokémon house.

"Beware of dangerous bulls inside!"

Su Ren peered inside and saw a large milk carp fast asleep on a hay bed in a small cubicle.

Apart from that, there were no other Pokémon in the hut.

"It turns out to be a large milk tanker farm, probably a newly established ranch, and the scale of breeding is not very large."

As he thought about it, Hayato began to write it down in his notebook.

After all, he had promised Tong Hua that he would write a report to promote Fairy Tale Ranch, and he would always keep his promises.

Trust! This is the creed that Goho Hayato upholds.

……

"I think I understand..."

By the pond, Tong Hua watched as the big-tailed raccoon staged a "stage play" using wood carvings made on the spot, and then roughly understood what had happened.

I also learned that they were helping Tong Hua raise fish.

"So, you want me to help you figure out a way to get rid of those big-mouthed bats?"

"Buzz!" Three bees flew up and nodded in front of Tong Hua.

"Um……"

Seeing this, Tong Hua fell into deep thought.

Although he also wanted to help the three bees, it was normal for different species to compete in the wild.

If he only helps the three bees drive away the giant bat, what should he do if the giant bat comes back for help later?

Tong Hua was deep in thought, while the other Pokémon were all curiously circling around the Forest Turtle.

"Game." The forest tortoise felt a little embarrassed by everyone's stares and scratched its head with its front paw.

"Oh my!"

Sweet Bamboo happily jumped onto the turtle's back in the forest, and the scent of grass and trees it emitted made Sweet Bamboo very happy.

Also intrigued by the aroma were the raccoon dogs, who couldn't resist the urge to gnaw on their teeth. The small trees on the turtle's back in the forest looked perfect for shaving.

"Beep beep!"

The big-tailed raccoon sternly criticized his underlings for their strange ideas, but he himself was actually quite curious to taste what the bark was like...

Of all the Pokémon watching, the only one that didn't have any improper thoughts about Torterra was probably Worm.

"Worm." Seeing that the Forest Tortoise didn't seem to have adapted to its drastically changed size and increased weight after its evolution, the Tuo Tuo Earthworm kindly pulled it aside to give it some pointers.

Just then, Tong Hua finally made a decision.

"Okay, I'll help you."

"Buzz!" The three bees danced a figure-eight dance happily, but then Tong Hua changed the subject.

"However... I won't chase away the giant bat."

"It's just a cave, we can just let them have it. We have caves like that in our Fairy Tale Ranch."
