Pokémon: Starting with a Pokémon Ranch.

Chapter 125 Pokémon Riding Race?

He called over his mounts, the little lamb and the woolly horned sheep.

Just then, Tropius, having finished delivering Squirtle, also returned.

Seeing this, Su Yu also said to them:

"You're in charge of taking care of the new students at the ranch. They're probably here to learn something."

Consider today a free trial lesson for them. You can teach them a little, but don't give away all the good stuff.

"Mwah~!" Hearing this, the little sheep on their mounts nodded. They had nothing to do lately and were wondering how to pass the time.

The woolly sheep were somewhat curious about the students, while the tropical dragon was rather indifferent.

Now, it is somewhat hardworking and conscientious. Whatever Su Yu asks it to do, it does it well, which can be considered as repaying the kindness Su Yu has shown it before.

After giving instructions to all the Pokémon, Su Yu led them to Zheng Ya's side. Upon seeing the Pokémon, Zheng Ya excitedly approached and exclaimed:

"Master with the little sheep mount, Master with the tropical dragon mount!"

"And this... Did Master Woolbraid and the others evolve? But it seems there's still one master who hasn't evolved?"

Zheng Ya looked at Su Yu.

Su Yu nodded and said:

"Yes, I don't know what's wrong with this Wooloo either. The other Wooloos have been evolved for almost a month, but it still shows no signs of evolving at all."

Su Yu tried many methods to deal with this woof sheep, including providing special nutritional supplements and increasing the amount of training, but none of them worked.

Therefore, Su Yu decided to let nature take its course. Perhaps this Woolblade sheep is a bit special, and when the time comes, it will complete its evolution.

Zheng Ya looked at the Pokémon again, feeling that her masters had greatly improved their strength during the month she had been away.

Zheng Ya's classmates, who were standing nearby, also looked over and recognized the Pokémon.

fuzzy sheep, riding lambs, tropical dragons...?

The tropical dragon seemed to have a stronger presence, while the remaining mounts, the lamb and the woolly sheep, looked rather ordinary.

Su Yu didn't think too much about it. He said to Zheng Ya:

"Alright, I've already brought all your 'masters' over. I still have things to do at the ranch, so I won't chat any longer."

"Keep a close eye on your classmates and don't let them run around the ranch. The area you are allowed to roam is only around the cabin."

"Yes, Master Su Yu."

Upon hearing this, Zheng Ya nodded and finally addressed Su Yu as "Master".

This made Su Yu feel quite strange, and he quickened his pace as he left.

After Su Yu left, Zheng Ya released the cotton ball and began discussing the next training direction with the other masters.

Having been away for over a month, Zheng Ya had many questions she wanted to ask these Pokémon, especially about the move "Cotton Guard."

Zheng Ya felt that Master Mao Maojiaoyang's cotton defense had become even more formidable.

……

Meanwhile, on the other side...

After leaving the cabin, Su Yu first went to take a look at the lake.

Here, Farfetch'd is fishing all by itself, with neither Squirtle nor Kryce around. Farfetch'd looks quite lonely.

However, the silence was broken by the quacking of ducks from not far away. Su Yu looked and saw that it was the dozen or so ducks that Frost Milk Fairy used to graze, swimming in the lake.

While the leek duck is fishing here, it can also keep an eye on the flock of ducks.

In response, the green onion duck said it was exhausted. "Why do I have to fish and take care of these ducks at the same time?"

As for Alcremie, she was currently wandering through the Gracietian flower field with Moefly. Moefly seemed to be collecting pollen, and once she had collected enough, she shared the collected pollen clumps with Alcremie.

Seeing this, Frost Milk Fairy took the pollen ball and ate a bite. The sweet taste went straight to her heart, and she felt relaxed both physically and mentally.

Noticing Su Yu's gaze, the swarming fly also flew over and shared a clump of pollen with Su Yu.

After eating it, Su Yu felt that it was indeed quite delicious. Moreover, just as the illustrated guide said, it could alleviate fatigue.

"However, the effect is not very obvious yet. Perhaps the pollen clusters collected will be more effective once the budding fly evolves."

Su Yu thought to himself.

At that moment, Su Yu saw Yang Hao walking towards him from not far away. It seemed that Yang Hao was heading straight for Su Yu again.

Seeing this, Su Yu asked in confusion:

"What is Yang Hao doing here? He seems to be in a hurry. And this time he even brought an armored rhinoceros with him."

As they got closer, Yang Hao said:

"Oh, you happen to be around Moon Lake? What a coincidence."

"What's wrong? Is there something you need?" Su Yu asked, getting straight to the point.

Upon hearing this, Yang Hao scratched his head, looking embarrassed, and said:

"Hehe... Well, the town is holding a Pokémon riding race recently. The competition requires participants to have a rideable Pokémon, as well as a rider Pokémon."

"My ranch happens to have a rideable Pokémon, Rhydon is perfect for it. But my dad is having trouble choosing a rider Pokémon. It seems like my ranch doesn't have any suitable Pokémon to ride."

Upon hearing this, Su Yu recalled the appearance of Yang Hao's ranch. It was mostly filled with Pokémon that were primarily responsible for production, and there didn't seem to be any suitable Pokémon to be riders.

"So you came to find me?" Su Yu asked, puzzled.

"Hehe, isn't it because I remember your ranch has a lot of Pokémon that are suitable to be riders? Squirtle and Farfetch'd both look like they could compete as riders."

Su Yu nodded: "Hmm...I see."

"But I'm a little curious... why does your family want to participate in every competition? It seems like your ranch is involved in every competition held in town."

"Does your husband enjoy having fun in these kinds of competitions? Well, life in the pastoral area can be a bit monotonous if it's just about taking care of cattle and sheep. Participating in competitions can definitely make life more interesting."

Upon hearing this, Yang Hao replied:

"That's definitely part of the reason... but the rewards for this competition are pretty good too. In addition to the 100,000 Alliance Coins prize, the first place winner can also take two other things from the competition's reward pool."

"Among them is the latest shell care formula that Master Yugang recently developed. I remember your Squirtle needs this kind of shell care product, right? How about it, isn't it attractive?"

Tortoise shell conditioner?

Upon hearing this, Su Yu's eyes lit up. He suddenly became interested in the competition.

He asked curiously:

"In this kind of competition, the contestants' Pokémon should be allowed to use moves to attack other participants, right?"

"Of course, that's one of the highlights of this kind of competition. Otherwise, why do you think the organizers require the riders to be Pokémon? It's for the sake of the entertainment value," Yang Hao said matter-of-factly.

Su Yu fell into deep thought upon hearing this.

Then wouldn't he be able to send his little sheep to compete?

The entire field is covered with "crazy plants". In this case, even if the little sheep on the mount runs slowly, it will probably be the first to reach the finish line. Isn't that much more convenient?
