Pokémon: Starting with a Pokémon Ranch.

Chapter 136 Yang Hao's Reminder, the Abnormalities at the Ranch at Night?

Following Duan Qing's victory, Zheng Ya and her team also got their chance to shine.

Each of them was considered excellent compared to the other students. Their appearance naturally showcased considerable skill.

After rounds of elimination, the competition ultimately determined the top 64 teams. Among them, Zheng Ya and her group occupied a significant number of spots.

This also led students from other classes, who were unaware of the situation, to mutter among themselves:

"What's going on? How come there are so many students from Class 4 among the top 64 students in our school?"

After the competition ended, Zheng Ya immediately reported the news to Su Yu, which surprised Su Yu greatly. The fact that most of Zheng Ya's group had made it into the top 64 was quite unexpected.

He had originally expected that half of them would be good enough.

After some thought, Su Yu understood. It made sense; after all, this was just a competition jointly organized by several towns, and he couldn't judge it from the perspective of someone from a big city.

After all, big cities have gyms, better instructors, and all sorts of training resources. Judging the trainers in Gulltown by the standards of big cities is asking too much of them.

"Then keep up the good work, but don't get too proud. Your level is already quite impressive among the students in Seagull Town, but you need to have a long-term vision. Your future is not just in Seagull Town."

After encouraging Zheng Ya, Su Yu replied in this way. They are only in their second year of high school, and they have a long way to go.

Zheng Ya told Su Yu that the matches after the round of 64 would be held the day after tomorrow, and asked Su Yu if he wanted to come and watch.

Upon seeing this message, Su Yu thought about it and ultimately declined.

He wasn't particularly interested in this kind of amateurish competition between high school students. He'd rather use that time to supervise Farfetch'd's training and help it prepare for next month's Pokémon racing competition.

……

……

After replying to the messages, back at the ranch.

Not far away, Farfetch'd was struggling to ride his armored rhinoceros across the grass. Behind the armored rhinoceros, Alcremie and Drumstick were riding their lambs, close behind.

It seemed that the little lamb had some energy left, and it didn't seem to be struggling to run.

The giant green duck would occasionally look back, seemingly unwilling to be overtaken by its mounts, the little sheep.

Meanwhile, nearby, Mela and her construction team had arrived early in the morning to start work. Because the building materials hadn't arrived yet, they were currently constructing the cold storage facility that Su Yu had always wanted.

The construction of the cold storage facility is not particularly difficult, and Mela expects it to be completed by tomorrow afternoon at the latest.

"Oh, I see. I happen to have a batch of crops on my farm that are ready for harvest. Perfect, we can store them all in cold storage."

Su Yu nodded.

Just then, Yang Hao arrived at the pasture riding his family's goat. Looking at the armored rhinoceroses racing in the distance, he couldn't help but exclaim in amazement:

"I really didn't expect the armored rhinoceros to be so fast. It's much faster than when I first brought it to your ranch."

In order to better prepare for the Pokémon Speed ​​Race next month, Yang Hao sent Rhydon to Su Yu Ranch so that it could spend all day with Farfetch'd.

In preparation for the competition, Su Yu naturally did not hesitate to provide the Iron Rhino with grass cakes and slightly diluted goat milk to help improve its physical fitness.

These two materials are considered very precious even in some big cities, so using them on the armored rhinoceros naturally yields remarkable results.

Over the course of a few days, the improvement in Iron Rhino's racing performance was clearly visible, and its physique also became much stronger than before.

"Speaking of which... these training materials of mine, even if used on some ordinary Pokémon, would probably help them improve quickly..."

Normally, the ranch was full of strange creatures, so Su Yu didn't pay much attention to them. But this time, Yang Hao brought his armored rhinoceros to the ranch, and Su Yu began to feel something.

"In the blink of an eye, I've become a master breeder, hmm... a master breeder specializing in culinary arts."

Grass cakes, secret-recipe spicy strips, marshmallows, and Powerful Crucian Carp Soup—any one of these would be in high demand and short supply elsewhere. Yet here, Su Yu is eating them as everyday foods for his Pokémon, which seems a bit wasteful.

After watching the armored rhinoceros train for a while, Yang Hao also mounted his goat and prepared to leave. Seeing this, Su Yu asked:

"Won't you stay and sit for a while?"

"No. By the way, speaking of which, I seem to have noticed some strange things happening at your ranch these past few nights when I got up in the middle of the night."

"Hmm? What's wrong?" Su Yu asked, puzzled.

Yang Hao then recounted the strange phenomenon he had observed. For the past few nights, between midnight and 2 AM, a corner of Su Yu Ranch was always shrouded in steam. And within this steam, a flicker of light would occasionally flash.

"I think Ke Rui mentioned this to me before..."

Yang Hao and Ke Rui both discovered something unusual at the ranch, which made Su Yu realize that something was wrong. Therefore, he decided to pretend to be asleep tonight and then secretly get up to take a look.

"Then you'd better be careful. It would be best to bring one or two Pokémon along, lest you actually get caught and eaten by some Ghost-type Pokémon."

Yang Hao reminded him.

And that evening...

After dinner, Su Yu went back to his room to do his accounting as usual. Meanwhile, the Pokémon gathered outside to watch the "Battle Fierce" movie series.

"Maya~!!"

Watching Ling Feng's agile movements as he dodged sniper bullets in the movie, one of the woolly sheep seemed very excited. It twisted its body, imitating Ling Feng's movements as he dodged bullets.

Seeing this, Su Yu, who happened to be passing by, scratched his head. If he remembered correctly, this fluffy horned sheep... should have the [bulletproof] characteristic, right?

Good heavens, it turns out that Ling Feng is you! With this characteristic, the Wool Horned Sheep doesn't need to hide at all; they can just go straight for it.

After watching the movie, the Pokémon went back to their rooms to sleep as usual. After washing up, Su Yu also went to bed, and soon her breathing became soft and gentle.

Once it was confirmed that all the Pokémon in the room were asleep, Squirtle quietly poked its head out of its shell.

It cautiously checked again before waking up the Growlithe, who had accidentally fallen asleep and was already dreaming and drooling, and together they slipped out of the cabin.

It wasn't until some time after Squirtle left that Su Yu quietly opened his eyes. He looked at the spot on the wardrobe where Squirtle had been sleeping and felt a little puzzled.

"What's this guy doing sneaking up in the middle of the night instead of sleeping?"
