Pokémon: Starting with a Pokémon Ranch.

Chapter 131 Harvest from the Fish Pond and the Mind Hammer

Several more days passed after that.

These past few days, Zheng Ya and her classmates have been coming to the ranch every day to study.

Their progress was quite good; at least when they first arrived, they were at the level of ordinary high school students. By the time they were about to leave, they had all basically reached an excellent level.

This is largely thanks to the constant guidance of the little sheep mounts. It must be said that the little sheep mounts are quite adept at being teachers.

During this time, the students also brought a lot of local specialties from their homes to the ranch and gave them to the lambs or Su Yu.

Among them, the student whose family owns a supermarket brought a lot of energy cubes, which greatly replenished Su Yu's already scarce energy cube reserves.

Because the money was brought as tuition, the student's family urged him to bring more, resulting in four large suitcases.

"Today should be your last day at the ranch, right?" Su Yu asked, looking at the group of students.

Upon hearing this, the students all nodded, and Zheng Ya also replied:

"Yes, in a few days, we'll be going to participate in a joint competition organized by several high schools in town."

"We were able to come here this time because the school gave us a week off to prepare for the competition. Now that the holiday is over, we have to go back."

Su Yu then understood why Zheng Ya and the others suddenly had time to come to the ranch.

He nodded and said:

"Okay, if I have time then, I might bring the Pokémon from the ranch to watch the match."

When Su Yu returned to the cabin, his phone suddenly rang.

Su Yu took out his phone and saw that it was actually Lusamine calling, which was quite unusual.

After the call connected, Lusamine told Su Yu that a few days ago, she had taken Lillie and Gladion to a large breeding center in the neighboring city. Lillie loved it there and even picked out a Pokémon egg to bring back.

Upon hearing this, Su Yu tried to imagine the scene. Perhaps, for Lillie, who was afraid of Pokémon yet longed to be close to them, a Pokémon egg was the best way to have intimate contact with them?

As for the Pokémon egg that Lillie brought back... Su Yu didn't know if it was the destined Ninetales Pokémon egg.

"Lillie really likes that fairy egg, and now she has to keep the fairy egg's incubator by her bedside every day before she can sleep."

"Thank you so much for your suggestion, it has brought about such a big change in Lillie. And I feel that my relationship with Lillie and the others is much closer than before."

Lusamine smiled, a rare occurrence, and said this.

Because she was so busy with work before, she hardly had time to take care of Lillie and Gladio. As a result, Lusamine took very strict management measures, such as cutting off Lillie from her home.

This has made the relationship between Lusamine and the two men very strained. Gladio, in particular, loves his sister dearly and is almost always contradicting Lusamine.

However, this time, Lusamine was able to put aside her work to accompany them to choose Pokémon eggs, which helped to thaw the ice between them considerably.

"Really? Actually, work isn't everything in life. It's always good to take some time to be with your family," Su Yu replied.

"If you're interested, you can bring your children to visit the ranch. Of course, my ranch is always open to you."

There was a moment of silence on the other end after hearing this.

However, not long after, Lusamine responded:

"I'll consider it."

"By the way, regarding the medicinal herbs you mentioned earlier about your ranch, I brought it up at the company's board meeting, and the company has decided to purchase them. Furthermore, we will sign a long-term supply contract with you, hoping you can expand the area where you cultivate these herbs."

When the conversation turned to business, Rosamund seemed much more confident. Su Yu also spoke with her on the phone, finalizing some details of a long-term partnership.

After that, Su Yu looked at the medicinal herb field that had just been harvested. It seemed that he would still have to continue planting medicinal herbs.

However, Su Yu had other things to do before that.

……

Moon Lake.

Su Yu cast his net into the fishpond and caught a batch of fish. He looked at the size of the fish and found that they were about the same size as the fish he had caught in Moon Lake before.

After all, these are artificially bred. In addition to specially made fish food, Su Yu also buried a lot of materials at the bottom of the fish pond to enrich the water system's energy. It's normal that the fish grow faster than those in the lake.

With the net full of fish, Su Yu first went to a restaurant and handed the fish over to the person in charge.

On his way back, he happened to pass by an electronics store, so Su Yu went inside carrying three or four fish.

"Boss, I've brought you some fish!"

As soon as he entered the store, Su Yu shouted.

Upon hearing this, the owner of the electronics store poked his head out from a small mountain of machinery and looked at the fish in Su Yu's hand.

He exclaimed in surprise:

"So fast? I remember... your fish pond has only been in operation for almost a month, right?"

"The environment where I live is good, so it's normal for the fish to grow fast. Here, four big black fish, you can keep them to cook." With that, Su Yu handed the fish to the shopkeeper.

Seeing this, the shopkeeper accepted it without hesitation. He looked at the fish he was carrying; if it was the same fish he had given Su Yu for the New Year, and it was of ordinary quality…

The fish that Su Yu gave him is already a delicacy in terms of the quality of the ingredients alone.

"This fish... should taste really good when cooked."

With that thought in mind, the appliance store owner was already looking forward to tonight's dinner.

……

Meanwhile, on the other side...

Inside the Rashomon Dojo.

At this moment, Squirtle was sparring with the Rashomon Gym Leader's Strike Demon, the two exchanging blows. Although Squirtle's arms were short, its strength was considerable, and Strike Demon did not dare to underestimate it.

If you accidentally get punched, it can hurt quite a bit. So it's best to avoid getting injured if possible.

After sparring for a while, Law suddenly shouted "Stop!" Squirtle had just thrown a punch and hadn't had time to retract it.

Seeing this, the Strike Demon quickly reached out a hand and pressed down on Squirtle's head. Fortunately, it did so in time, and Squirtle's arms were relatively short, so the punch didn't hit the Strike Demon.

Luo Sheng, standing to the side, nodded in satisfaction and said:

"Hmm... You've pretty much mastered the basic techniques of the Enhanced Fist and the Brick Break, and you can use them flexibly in actual combat."

"Next, you just need to practice diligently and work hard to improve your proficiency with these two moves. Next, I'm going to teach you the Mind Hammer technique."

The move Psychic Hammer is a Psychic-type move that involves Pokémon using their psychic powers.

Most Pokémon never become aware of their own psychic abilities throughout their lives. Therefore, these kinds of moves are very difficult to learn without guidance and instruction.

Luo Sheng happened to learn a method from his master when he was young that could help Fighting-type Pokémon train their psychic abilities, which led him to the move Psychic Hammer. Otherwise, he might never have had psychic powers.

"In the time to come, you should follow me and practice your telekinesis to the best of your ability, and try to use it proficiently."

"Once you can skillfully control your telekinesis, then you'll have the foundation to learn the Mind Hammer technique. Watch carefully and learn well; this isn't something you can easily learn elsewhere."

Rashomon still gives Squirtle special treatment. At this moment, they are in a separate hall.

The other apprentices were still practicing ordinary fighting techniques on their own in another hall.
