My Pokémon Story of Seasons

On the Windy Hill, the defeated Zubats scattered and fled. After Souichi and Hitomi reported the situation, Captain Sakura asked them to stay there.

The Fengraozhen base will be responsible for any property damage suffered by tourists due to this incident. Fortunately, there were no casualties, which is a stroke of luck amidst the misfortune.

Tong Hua and her group returned, and since there were no other tourists around, they spread out their picnic blankets in the best spot and continued to admire the flowers.

"I never imagined that Sweet Bamboo would grow so cute after evolving!" Jessica stroked the leaves on Sweet Bamboo's head, her eyes filled with envy.

"It makes me really want to get one too, they're just so cute!"

Nagi, seeing Sweetie's expression, seemed to want to touch her too, but was stopped by the sharp-eyed Charming Cat.

"...Okay, okay, having you is enough for me."

"Meow." That's more like it.

"Mmm! Delicious! As expected, Tong Hua's cooking is the best!"

Renmei picked up a sandwich, but hesitated to finish it, savoring it slowly.

"There's still plenty left, no need to be so dramatic, just eat." Tong Hua was happy to see that someone liked her cooking, so she pushed the picnic basket directly in front of Ren Mei.

"That's exactly what I was waiting for! I won't hold back!"

After a while, the thick clouds over Windy Hill dispersed, and the sun finally reappeared.

"Everyone look at the camera! Let's all smile!"

Chuangyi raised the device on his arm and used the front-facing camera to take a group photo of everyone present and the Pokémon!

Finally, at 3 PM, the flower viewing event came to a close amidst laughter and cheers from the crowd.

"That was so much fun! Let's get together again sometime!"

"I'll definitely do it next time."

Tong Hua responded with a smile, and then returned to Fairy Tale Ranch with the forest tortoise, foam squirrel, mini Fu, Sweet Wuni, and the Queen Bee family.

……

In the fairytale ranch, the three Pokémon left to guard the place—Wormill, Miltank, and Saltstone—have become completely familiar with each other.

Saltstone Treasure is incredibly compatible with Milk Pot and Drooling.

To put it simply, all three of them like to lie lazily on the grass, and they try not to move at all, sometimes for half a day at a time.

"Miriam~" These lazy days are so comfortable.

"Worm." Tuotuo Earthworm wholeheartedly agreed, but this wasn't his most comfortable state yet. If he could burrow into the soil, that would be truly exhilarating.

"Miloo!" No, no, no, what's so great about burrowing into the dirt? Rolling around on the grass is definitely more comfortable!

Hearing the two discussing, Yan Shibao quietly offered his opinion.

"Leilei." On this point, he and Tuotuoyin are on the same side.

Being buried in the ground is more comfortable than lying on the grass!

"Miru..."

Okay, I can't argue with you guys...

Big Milk Tank sat up, casually plucked a blade of grass, and put it in its mouth to chew.

Meanwhile, outside the main gate of Fairy Tale Ranch, two students in uniforms pushed open the ranch's wooden fence gate and peered inside.

"Hello? Is anyone there?"

Ritsumi, a girl with a high ponytail, spoke first. Her voice was clear and melodious. "We are students from the Wind-Swept Town Ranger School."

The red-haired boy beside her looked quite disheveled, covered in mud from head to toe, as if he had tripped and fallen on the way there...

"It seems like nobody's around. What do we do now, Yao?"

Ritsumi looked at the boy beside her, trying hard to suppress her laughter.

"It's all that big-toothed raccoon's fault for suddenly rushing out..."

Frustrated, Huang Yao patted the mud off his clothes, only to spread it even more. "Ryūmi, stop pretending. Just laugh if you want to."

"Pfft, hahaha!" Ritsumi finally couldn't help but burst out laughing. "I'm sorry, I really didn't mean to laugh. I just couldn't help it..."

She took out her handkerchief. "Okay, okay, use this to wipe yourself. Remember to wash it clean and give it back to me."

Huang Yao took the handkerchief and wiped his face without any hesitation.

"But should we just wait here? We don't know when the people from the ranch will come back."

That's why I said we should have gone to see the flowers today. Instead of wasting this precious holiday waiting...

The rangers' school has a fixed four days off per month, and the two of them always make sure to have a full schedule during their holidays.

This year is their final year at school. To avoid any regrets, the two decided to take a short trip to a nearby attraction every holiday.

This time, they chose Fairy Tale Ranch, which was featured in the Almia Times just today.

"Oh, it's okay. Don't always say such discouraging things," Ritsumi said, twirling her hair with her fingers.

"What does it matter if we wait? The environment here is so nice. Just standing outside and looking at it makes the trip worthwhile."

"That sounds nice, but you're the one who got covered in mud..."

"Okay, okay~" Ritsumi suddenly stood on tiptoe and wiped the mud splattered on Shayo's face. "Anyway, just wait here for a while. I'll treat you to ramen when we get back tonight!"

"Oh well……"

Just then, the large milk tanker, having heard the commotion outside, slowly strolled over from the pasture, chewing on fresh hay.

It curiously observed the two visitors and made gentle calls.

"Miru?"

"Wow! It's a giant milk tank!" Ritsumi's attention was immediately drawn to it. She excitedly squatted down and looked inside through the fence.

"Hello, my darling~"

The giant milk tank tilted its head and looked at the lively girl, then actually moved closer so that Ritsumi could touch its smooth fur.

"Oh my god! She's so sweet!" Ritsumei exclaimed, turning to look at Huangyao with delight. "Do you want to touch her too?"

Huang Yao paused for a moment, then nodded silently.

"Miru".

The big milk tank feels great to the touch; it's all fluffy and soft.

Huang Yao cautiously reached out and gently touched the big milk tank's forehead. The big milk tank squinted its eyes, purred contentedly, and even rubbed against Huang Yao's palm.

"It seems to really like you!" Ritsumi exclaimed in surprise.

Huang Yao withdrew his hand somewhat embarrassedly, but a slight smile played on his lips. "Hmm... quite docile."

Just then, the worm slowly emerged from the soil, its long body gleaming with a metallic sheen in the sunlight.

Salt Stone Treasure followed behind it, hopping and skipping as it approached.

"Wow! It's Worm and Saltstone!" Ritsumi's eyes lit up. "The Pokémon on this farm are all so cute!"

"Leilei!" When Yanshibao saw the stranger, he shyly hid behind the big milk tank, only revealing his square eyes to secretly observe.

The worm, however, remained calm. It lay lazily on the ground, its tail swaying gently as if it were greeting someone.

"Looks like they've gotten used to visitors," Huang Yao said. "But when exactly is the ranch owner coming back...?"

Just then, a series of cheerful footsteps came from afar.

"We're back!"

Tong Hua's voice grew louder as it approached, followed by a forest tortoise, a foam squirrel, a miniature Fu, and a sweet Wuni, while the queen bee family hovered in the air.

"Ah, hello!" Lu Mei quickly stood up and waved to Tong Hua. "We are students from the Wind-Swept Town Ranger School. My name is Lu Mei, and this is Huang Yao. We've come specifically to visit Fairy Tale Ranch!"

As Tong Hua approached, seeing the two students, especially Huang Yao covered in mud, she couldn't help but laugh: "Welcome, welcome! But this student... did something happen to him?"

Huang Yao's face flushed instantly, and he stammered, unable to speak. So Lu Mei explained the whole story to him with a smile.

"I see."

Tong Hua nodded, unable to suppress a smile. "It's alright, you can go to the cabin and clean up first. As for clothes... I should have some you can wear."

Huang Yao nodded gratefully: "Thank you!"

"Then, please come in with me, both of you." Tong Hua pushed open the gate and gestured for them to enter.

"Wow!"

Lu Mei and Huang Yao followed Tong Hua into the fairytale ranch.

The scene before them will become the most unforgettable moment in their years of studying.
