Pokémon: Starting with a Pokémon Ranch.

Chapter 148 The Intruder in the Orchard, the Oddish Guardian

Zaobo?

There are no Ultra Caves in this world, so Zaobo can't be used for anything related to Ultra Beasts. So, does the "live Pokémon experimentation" refer to Silvally?

However, the fact that Zaobo dared to report to Lusamine means that he had almost completed the relevant experiments. After all, what this guy was best at was carrying out various plans behind Lusamine's back.

Just as Su Yu was pondering how to get involved in this matter, Gladio approached him.

At this moment, Gladio looked curiously at Zheng Ya and her group not far away, asking Su Yu and the others what they were doing.

"Hmm...they are high school students from a nearby town. They came here specifically for training."

Su Yu said casually.

These students trained by following Su Yu's Pokémon. This was a method that Gladion probably hadn't even seen before, so Su Yu explained it to him.

"If you'd like, you can go and cultivate with them. There are already so many students here, one more won't make a difference."

Upon hearing this, Gladion nodded. He was quite surprised—training with Pokémon?

This is truly... an unprecedented training method.

However, I must become stronger so that I can better protect my sister.

Looking back at Lillie, Gladio made up his mind and walked towards Zheng Ya and the others.

Su Yu was pondering Zaobo's matter when he saw Gladio's back and raised an eyebrow.

If I remember correctly... in the anime, Gladion stole Zaobosil Companion and secretly trained with it, right?

So, it seems like we could start with Gladio?

……

……

After Gladio went to practice asceticism.

Lillie was the only one left on the picnic blanket side. She looked at Gladio and Lusamine with a worried expression, appearing somewhat lost.

Seeing this, Su Yu also tried to comfort him:

"Don't worry, no matter what, they are still mother and son, and they will reconcile one day."

"..."

Upon hearing this, Lillie looked at Su Yu and nodded silently.

Just then, the Alcremie and the Squirrel returned from the flower field. They were carrying large bunches of flowers they had picked from outside, and they looked very happy.

Upon seeing Lillie, Alcremie smiled and shared one of her flowers with her. Lillie looked surprised and pointed to herself.

—Is this for me?

"Mama~"

Alcremie nodded.

Lillie gladly accepted the flowers from the Alcremie and then played with them.

However, because they haven't been able to completely overcome their fear of Pokémon, a distance still exists between them.

"Then you guys have fun." Su Yu smiled and looked away. Just then, Lusamine returned after finishing her phone call. However, she didn't look too well.

……

……

Meanwhile, outside the orchard.

More than thirty walking grass plants are currently lying in the soil, sleeping peacefully.

These walking grasses have been in the pasture for some time now. During this time, they have been living leisurely around the orchard, enjoying the fertile soil.

This ranch is like paradise for them, where life is easy and comfortable.

Behind them, after a period of growth, the fruit trees gradually grew to the point where they could bear fruit, and some branches even had fruit already formed.

These fruit trees also enjoy very favorable conditions, and their fruits are undoubtedly a huge attraction for wild Pokémon in the forest.

It was under these circumstances that several Ground-type Pokémon were attracted by the scent emanating from the Berry Tree. They quietly hid in the bushes outside the orchard, secretly observing the situation inside.

After all, they know that the ranch is human territory. Wild Pokémon have to be very careful if they want to roam on human territory.

After observing in the dark for a while, one of the baby stone balls finally couldn't hold back any longer. It quietly stepped out of the bushes, wanting to sneak into the orchard while the walking grasses were fast asleep.

"Kuga..."

Seeing this, a kind-hearted, honest pangolin quickly pulled Stoneball back. It seemed to say... "Are you crazy? Can't you see there's a group of Oddish guarding those fruit trees?"

Those Oddish looked perfectly healthy; it was obvious they were being kept by humans as guards. With Pokémon like that protecting the orchard, how dare you go up there?

"land……"

The stone balls were still struggling, and their commotion woke up several lightly sleeping walking grass. These walking grass opened their eyes and looked at the sand rat with hostile expressions.

"What is it?" Is it a Pokémon that wants to steal berries?

Then there's no need to be polite, let's just get things sorted out first.

Shaking the leaves on its head, Oddish used the move [Poison Powder], scattering the powder at the "enemy".

……

When Su Yu arrived.

The Ground-type Pokémon were slumped on the ground, their faces turning purple, clearly poisoned.

Seeing this, Su Yu quickly brought over several bottles of fruit milk made from Peach Berry and fed them to the Ground-type Pokémon one by one.

Meanwhile, a few Oddish scratched their heads sheepishly. They hadn't expected these Pokémon to be so weak, taking down the opponent with a single Poison Powder move.

"It seems you've already mastered the poison powder techniques quite well. Next, you should try to learn other powder-based techniques as soon as possible, such as [Paralysis Powder] and [Hypnotic Powder]."

Su Yu couldn't wait to see the sight of over thirty Oddish releasing hypnotic powder at once. That scene would surely be incredibly spectacular.

Just then, the tropical dragon that had come with Su Yu also brought over a berry that had fallen to the ground. In the game, this type of berry can weaken the power of excellent Ground-type moves.

"Were you attracted here by this tree fruit?" Su Yu asked the pangolin, holding the tree fruit in his hand.

The pangolin nodded in agreement.

"That's understandable."

These berries are indeed quite attractive to Ground-type Pokémon.

After feeding each of them fruit milk, the Pokémon were mostly cured of their poison. Among these Pokémon, Su Yu also spotted a Rockruff.

"This is... an officially recognized Pokémon for clearing dust?" Su Yu asked in surprise.

In Professor Oak's official Pokédex, there is a specific description of Grimstone's final evolution, Grimstone, as a Pokémon with a strong body and great horsepower, which is very popular among people involved in construction.

Another Pokémon that receives similar praise to Gambo is Bronze. However, in Su Yu's opinion, Gambo is clearly much more handsome than Bronze, possessing an inexplicable coolness.

Moreover, its core can store a large amount of energy, making it a Pokémon with quite good life skills.
