Pokémon: Starting with a Pokémon Ranch.

Chapter 101 Dedora, Sincerity from Wild Pokémon

Fish fry traders come and go quickly.

After dumping all the fish fry, they climbed onto the truck and drove away.

After they left, Su Yu started tinkering with the series of machines he had bought from the electronics store owner, including a feeding machine and the like.

Place the fish food you bought from the store into the feeder's hopper and plug the feeder into the generator next to it.

Su Yu hasn't yet installed a power line to the fish pond, so the electricity needed for these feeding machines can only be provided by the generator he just bought.

Fortunately, it still works. After the feeder is turned on, it immediately begins to evenly distribute the fish feed from the hopper into the fishpond.

After finishing all that, Su Yu planned to go back and continue with his own business. However, at this moment, Meila approached him and asked:

"Boss, I'm almost done with the fishpond business. The Diaoyutai site should be repaired today too. What should I do next?"

Upon hearing this, Su Yu replied:

"Then we definitely need to finish those jobs I got for you a few days ago. I remember those jobs I got for you are booked until a month into the future, right?"

"Once those orders are finished, I'll take a look for you. Maybe I can get you a chance to train with a large construction team. Let's see if I can get it for you."

As he spoke, Su Yu glanced at Ke Rui, who was fishing with Squirtle and Farfetch'd not far away.

Upon hearing this, Mela nodded and said:

"Alright, I'll do whatever you say, boss."

After making arrangements for Meira, Su Yu returned to the cabin.

In the past few days, Su Yu has been trying to make his own fish food.

Although the instruction manual included a basic fish food recipe when Su Yu bought the fish food maker, he still wanted to try making a better fish food himself.

However, making fish food is quite challenging, and the proportions of various ingredients are very important. Therefore, Su Yu has been constantly experimenting to see which fish food ratio works best.

This trial-and-error process seems to require quite a bit of time. Therefore, Su Yu has made sufficient mental preparations.

Another day passed as Su Yu continued his attempts.

……

Early the next morning.

As usual, Su Yu went out to deliver goat milk. After returning, Su Yu went to the fish pond to take a look at the feeding machine.

After filling the feeder with fish food and turning it on, Su Yu coughed a few times due to the pungent smell of the diesel generator.

"Ugh... this stuff still smells awful."

With a wave of his hand, Su Yu fanned away the thick smell in the air and returned to the cabin.

Meanwhile, after a long journey, Dongdong Mouse and his friends finally arrived at the ranch.

Standing high on the hill behind the cabin, the Pokémon looked down at the ranch with longing in their eyes.

Even the dummy mouse was the same; the last time it came, it was starving and dizzy. And at that time, the snow had just fallen, and the pasture was a vast expanse of white, so you couldn't see anything at all.

However, this time it was completely different. Looking at the vast, newly reclaimed farmland, some crops were just sprouting, while others had already grown to full maturity.

The soil, freshly watered by Squirtle, was incredibly soft, brimming with the rich Grass-type energy left behind by the riding sheep, and radiating boundless vitality.

Beyond the farmland lies a vibrant grassland. There, Growlithe is grazing ordinary lambs, while Woolhorn sheep are running across the meadow with Woolbraided sheep.

Further away lies a lake. At this moment, Farfetch'd and Squirtle are fishing there.

Upon seeing this scene, the Pokémon immediately believed Dedric's earlier description. The Pokémon could indeed live a wonderful life on this ranch.

"Sha..."

"Crunch..."

Immediately, the Pokémon couldn't wait to head to the ranch at the foot of the mountain. However, the commotion they caused attracted the attention of Caterpie, who was training in the back of the mountain.

Seeing so many Pokémon gathered together, trying to rush towards the hut at the foot of the mountain, Caterpie immediately jumped out, blocking their way, its electric net on its tail poised to fire.

When a caterpillar suddenly blocked its path, the Scyther's expression turned serious. It seemed to sense the aura of someone of similar strength emanating from the caterpillar.

It even felt that if it were to fight this green caterpillar, it might be the loser.

However, just as Scyther was on high alert, its eyes filled with seriousness, Dedric poked its head out from Scyther's back and stopped it:

"Knock knock, knock knock~!" It's one of us, don't make a move!

Upon seeing the Drum Mouse, the Caterpie paused for a moment. It had seen this Drum Mouse before, and it remembered what Su Yu had told it.

"Hiss?" Are these all your companions?

"I can't believe it," the caterpillar asked, puzzled.

Upon hearing this, Dongdong Mouse nodded.

Those are our own people.

Caterpie, upon hearing this, put away the electric net and turned to lead the group of Pokémon to the ranch.

Su Yu had just returned from the fish pond when he saw Caterpie bringing a group of unfamiliar Pokémon. He wondered what had happened.

Upon seeing the Dedric among the Pokémon, Su Yu understood what was going on.

He asked Alcremie, who was playing at the door, to go in and get some Power Cubes and Fruit Milk. Then, he walked over to the group of Pokémon.

"Pachirisu, Deddle, Scyther, Diglett, Porter, and Bigtooth..."

"There are quite a few, but not too many. That's just right; the ranch can afford to keep all these Pokémon. Besides, these Pokémon are all different, and they can do a lot of work on the ranch."

Su Yu thought to himself.

Upon seeing Su Yu, Dongdong Mouse happily introduced its companions to him, saying:

"Thump, thump~!" They've just arrived at the ranch and are eager to earn their wages through their work. So they want you to define their respective responsibilities first.

If possible, they want to familiarize themselves with their roles now.

Hearing this, Su Yu was taken aback. Wait, are all wild Pokémon this proactive?

I haven't even started thinking about what tasks to assign you, and you're already asking for them. That's... a bit too honest, isn't it?

These Pokémon are ridiculously sincere. I wish I could have a dozen more! I wouldn't mind.
