Pokémon: Starting with a Pokémon Ranch.

Chapter 138 Alright, alright, everyone's not sleeping, right?

Growlithe is quick to arrive and quick to return.

Running back with the frisbee in its mouth, Su Yu was somewhat surprised by how smoothly things went. But that was fine too, it would allow the Alcremie and the others to get a good night's sleep.

Su Yu took the frisbee from Growlithe's mouth and started playing with it.

……

Meanwhile, on the other side...

Su Yu underestimated the impact of his departure from the cabin.

At this time of day, Alcremie usually sleeps next to Su Yu, which is at her own request. Otherwise, Su Yu is really afraid that he might accidentally flatten Alcremie into a cookie one day.

Meanwhile, in her sleep, Frost Milk Fairy habitually reached out to touch the spot where Su Yu had been lying, only to find nothing there.

"Mama?" Where is Su Yu?

Rubbing its eyes, Frost Fairy got out of bed and looked around in confusion, but it didn't see Su Yu in the room.

"Mama?" Su Yu is gone?

Alcremie ran to the tropical dragon's sleeping den and woke it up, asking it about Su Yu's whereabouts.

"Hey..."

Tropical Dragon shook his head at this. Seeing this, Alcremie went to wake up her mount, the lamb.

"Meow..." What are you doing? Aren't you going to sleep...?

The slightly grumpy little lambs were quite confused, to which Alcremie explained:

"Mama!" Something terrible has happened! Su Yu has disappeared!

Upon hearing this, the little lambs immediately woke up. They looked at the empty bed, and indeed, Su Yu was no longer there.

"Mwah..." Could it have been captured by a Ghost-type Pokémon?

One of the imaginative little sheep mounts said this, having already conjured up dozens of possible reasons for Su Yu's disappearance in such a short time.

The other little lamb, upon hearing this, also panicked. What would happen then? Would it mean there would be no more grass cakes to eat?

"Meow~!!" All you ever think about is eating!

You two country bumpkins!

The lead lamb tapped its two companions on the head with its vine whip, telling them to behave.

At this moment, the tropical dragon, who had run to the door to check the situation, also ran back and whispered:

"Hey~!" I think I see Su Yu. He seems to be over at Moon Lake.

Upon hearing this, all the Pokémon's attention was immediately drawn to it. They gathered together and headed towards Lake Moon.

……

the other side.

As Su Yu threw the disc again, he sensed something and looked behind him, where he saw a group of Pokémon walking towards him.

Among them, Alcremie was trembling, as if its fear of the dark had relapsed.

"How... how did you get here?"

Seeing all these Pokémon gathered around, Su Yu looked somewhat helpless. He had originally planned to train with Growlithe for a while and then go back, but now, so many Pokémon had woken up.

Okay, okay... You're all not going to sleep, are you?

"Mama..." They said you were captured by the Ghost type.

"Lying on the back of the tropical dragon," Alcremie said.

This left Su Yu both amused and exasperated. Seriously? What kind of constitution do I, Su Yu, have that would allow a Ghost-type Pokémon to capture me?

"But since we're already up, let's go back to sleep later."

Su Yu lifted Alcremie from Tropius's back and held her in his arms like Misty held Togepi, saying helplessly:

"If you're afraid of the dark, why didn't you bring a flashlight? Honestly."

Indeed, it's more practical to teach Alcremie the Magic Flash. We don't need it to fight; we just need it for lighting.

In response, Creamy Fairy retorted:

"Mama." I didn't come out to find you in a hurry.

"Hmm... that's true, then thank you for your concern." Su Yu couldn't help but chuckle.

He had no idea how much courage it took for Alcremie to come out and find him.

Alcremie turned her head away, put her hands on her hips, and snorted coldly:

"Mama!" Hmph, I'm ignoring you.

At this moment, Squirtle walked over with a bottle of shell conditioner and said:

"Jenny, Jenny~!" That's perfect, give me some moisturizer.

Because of its short arms, Squirtle usually finds it difficult to apply shell conditioner by itself. Therefore, Su Yu often helps it.

Upon hearing this, Su Yu glanced at the Alcremie in his arms, and could only shake his head and smile wryly, supporting Alcremie with one hand and taking the Squirtle's maintenance potion with the other.

Indeed, having many Pokémon as a trainer brings happiness, but it also comes with its own troubles.

Applying the conditioner to Squirtle with one hand, Su Yu felt that Squirtle's shell was getting harder and harder. Now, Squirtle might even be able to withstand a full-speed collision from a Jeep without a scratch.

Strange, why mention Jeeps?

"Speaking of which, this kind of maintenance potion contains a lot of steel-type energy. If you use it a lot, it should help you learn [Iron Wall]."

"By then, you should be able to get even more muscular."

After applying the conditioner, Su Yu said this.

Su Yu couldn't believe how terrifying Squirtle's fighting power would be after it mastered its Fighting-type moves and was unleashed!

With its hard shell and strength comparable to Slaking, it looked like a god of war.

Upon hearing this, Squirtle wore a thoughtful expression. It punched its other hand with one fist, and in an instant, it realized what was going on.

Yeah, why didn't they think of adding more tank items?

It had been so focused on practicing fighting techniques that it had forgotten to build up its defense. Su Yu's words had opened up a whole new perspective for it.

Furthermore, I heard that Farfetch'd was preparing for a Pokémon racing competition, and the first prize included a very effective turtle shell conditioner. Su Yu participated in the competition specifically for that product.

"Jenny, Jenny...!" So, this was part of your plan too?!

Seeing Squirtle looking at him with such adoration, Su Yu scratched his head in confusion. "Did I say something incredible? I don't think so?"

"Speaking of which, why does it feel hotter and hotter around here? It's clearly nighttime now!"

Wiping the sweat from his brow, Su Yu said this. He had clearly already handed the frisbee to Caterpie and let Caterpie throw it.

Logically speaking, Growlithe shouldn't use Fire-type moves when playing frisbee, right?

Thinking this, Su Yu looked in the direction Growlithe had run off to. There he saw wisps of flame emanating from Growlithe's body, gradually intensifying.

"Holy crap... is that Flame Charge?!"

You learned this from just playing frisbee?

No, no, this is not the time to talk about that. What we should be focusing on now is the gradually spreading fire.

"Oh no, Squirtle, help put out the fire!"

With a wave of his hand, Su Yu shouted this.
