My Pokémon Story of Seasons

Late March is the season when cherry blossoms are in full bloom.

Every year at this time, a large number of tourists gather at Safeng Hill to enjoy the flowers.

Even many locals go to admire the flowers, gathering together to eat, drink, and enjoy the scenery, which is considered an important activity in spring.

"Mission accomplished! I'll take my leave now!"

Renmei had breakfast at Tonghua's house and said goodbye to Tonghua with great energy.

"Oh right, I almost forgot!" She seemed to suddenly remember something, and took a newspaper from the driver's seat and handed it to Tong Hua.

"Chuangyi asked me to give this to you, saying that it contains what you want."

"Thank you." Tong Hua gratefully accepted the Almia Times.

Since he moved in after the monthly newspaper subscription period had ended, he had no choice but to ask Souichi, who likes to collect newspapers, to deliver them to him.

He wanted to find out exactly what kind of report that self-centered journalist would write.

"Terrifying!"

The foam squirrel ran out of the house and jumped onto Tong Hua's shoulder.

All the dishes have been washed.

"Good boy." Tong Hua stroked his tail, and the foam squirrel immediately put on an expression of enjoyment.

Behind the house, the forest tortoise was watering the fields with great enthusiasm. After yesterday's encouragement, he now only wanted to farm well and make Fairy Tale Ranch great!

"Game!" At the command of the forest tortoise, the sweet bamboo and miniature Fu began to fertilize the ground.

However, is it certain that the olive oil produced by Mini Fu can be used as fertilizer?

"Worm?" Tuotuo was also very puzzled, but seeing that everyone was having a good time, he didn't dare to ask directly.

On the other side, on the grassland.

Saltstone has become Miltank's roommate, and the two Pokémon live together in the Premium Pokémon House.

Tong Hua originally planned to build a special salt house for Salt Stone Treasure, but the scale of his breeding has not yet reached the point where it is necessary to categorize them, so he settled him in the Pokémon House for the time being.

"Cluck cluck..."

Next to the Pokémon House is a chicken coop converted from an old hut.

There are 20 hens living here, and they have not yet recovered from the weakness caused by the increased egg power.

Although it looks no different from a normal hen, it can't actually lay a single egg.

"I wonder when this weakness will be relieved. If it takes more than ten days, it will be a huge loss."

After inspecting the condition of the hens, Tong Hua shook his head.

There's no need to go look at the pond; the big-toothed raccoons seem to be preparing to expand the pond's area these past few days and haven't been fishing.

The queen bee family is worth paying attention to, since they're going to go flower viewing with Tong Hua today.

"There's still an hour left. In the time we wait for Sister Jie to arrive, I can read the newspaper."

Tong Hua returned to the open space behind the house and placed a deck chair next to the outdoor dining area.

He made this himself yesterday, using the woodcarver's techniques. Lying on it will relieve mental fatigue.

"Heave-ho..."

As expected of something I made, it feels so good...

The curves are just right, and when you lie down, they fit your lower back perfectly, making you feel very relaxed.

It took Tong Hua a lot of effort to process this curved structure; the wood had to be humidified and heated before it could be bent.

To save time, Tong Hua chose to soak the wood in hot water directly, getting it done in one step.

After the shape is formed, it needs to be dried quickly to set. This step relies on the two shirabi's sunny weather.

This is how this comfortable recliner was finally made.

To be honest, the feeling of making things yourself is really addictive.

The key point is that this thing is actually quite practical.

"This is so relaxing..."

Tong Hua spread out the newspaper, crossed her legs, and began to read.

"Trembling." The foam squirrel also came over and started reading the newspaper with Tong Hua.

The front page of the newspaper prominently featured the headline "Angel Company Scandal," accompanied by a picture of a luxurious-looking modern building.

However, Tong Hua didn't look at the details carefully because he wasn't interested in them.

"Where are you? Writing my report?"

Tong Hua turned to the next page, only to find that both pages were filled with various GG and business information.

He quickly glanced at it and finally found his photo in the bottom right corner of the third page.

The photo shows the decisive moment when he forcefully swung the Chihouba into the air!

"Terrible!" Foam Squirrel excitedly pointed to itself in the photo.

To be fair, although that reporter seemed a bit eccentric, his professional skills actually seemed quite good.

At least this photo is quite impactful!

"As expected of me, so handsome!"

The headline of the report was also quite straightforward...

Shocking! Super-strong rancher single-handedly catches hundreds of pounds of giant flounder! The beach's most popular fish has fallen!

Tong Hua was speechless; it turns out this world also has such "shocking!" headlines.

He quickly read down the main text. Fortunately, the text was fairly objective, basically just a retelling of what happened at the scene and its causes and consequences.

It doesn't have as many of the writer's subjective opinions, making it more comfortable to read.

After all, it's the largest print publication in the entire region, so the review and proofreading must be very strict.

"Oh, so he also went to interview Nagi."

After reading it, Tong Hua discovered that this Yu Fa Su Ren had even interviewed the owner of the fishing tackle shop who had given him the information about the King of Fish in order to complete the report.

I never expected that he would actually go and investigate to confirm the authenticity of the information after I just mentioned it.

This kind of professionalism in doing things perfectly is truly admirable.

Tong Hua's opinion of this freelance writer changed considerably.

The report also mentioned that rangers at the Wind-Swept Town base later discovered a Milosaurus on the Wind-Swept Beach.

When it was discovered, it was hiding in a cave near the beach, and it is suspected that it appeared together with Chihouba.

Chief Ranger Seven declared that he would take responsibility for the incident and would send Chihooba and Milion back to the Padiya region.

After finishing reading, Tong Hua continued flipping through the pages, trying to find the report that Su Ren had promised to write to promote Fairy Tale Ranch.

After flipping through a few pages, Tong Hua finally found a report about Fairy Tale Ranch in the attractions recommendation section of the lifestyle section.

This time, the title is quite... subtle.

Comfort level: 10/10! Fairytale Ranch: Leisurely Country Life

Judging from the title alone, Tong Hua thought it was some kind of game review.

Overall, it's quite well-written, depicting the daily life of the fairytale ranch as seen by the Sujin with delicate strokes.

Some of the accompanying images are particularly striking, so beautiful that Tong Hua herself wanted to use them as wallpapers.

"Speaking of which, could it be that he only used this report as material for a transaction and therefore didn't write it seriously, which is why it turned out like this?"

Why do these two reports seem like they weren't written by the same person at all?

But none of that matters. What matters is that Fairy Tale Ranch has been featured in the newspaper! Now it's gained a little bit of fame.

Who knows, maybe tourists will come to visit it someday.

This will surely be very helpful for establishing a brand in the future.

After reading the newspaper, Tong Hua decided to keep it. Just then, a knock came from the gate of the ranch.

"Little Tong! I'm here!"

Jessica's cheerful voice came from outside the door, "Let's hurry up and get there, or we won't get any good spots!"

"Here it comes!"

Tong Hua quickly put away the newspaper, and the foam squirrel nimbly jumped onto his shoulder.

As soon as she opened the door, Tong Hua was stunned by the sight before her.

Jessica, dressed in her denim outfit, rode a fiery horse from the Galarian region with a dashing expression, two baskets hanging on either side of the saddle.

"Are you ready, little one?"

Jessica gracefully dismounted from her horse with a somersault. The fiery horse snorted, spewing colorful sparks from its nostrils.

"So handsome..."

Tong Hua was quite engrossed in watching. The fiery horses of the Galar region seemed like unicorns straight out of a fairy tale, and their dreamlike hair color was exactly what he liked.

"May I touch it?"

Tong Hua swallowed hard, unable to resist reaching out to stroke the mane of the fiery horse.

"Go ahead and pet me!" Jessica laughed, pulling on the reins. "My fiery horse loves to be petted."

But you'd better hurry, or there really won't be any good spots left to enjoy the flowers.
