Pokémon: Starting with a Pokémon Ranch.

Chapter 149 Fellow Villagers Meet

"We might as well keep them and turn them into ashes."

Su Yu thought to himself. Besides Rockruff, Sandshrew is also a very suitable Pokémon for burrowing. They are very good at digging and have a good grasp of Ground-type energy, giving them considerable talent for burrowing.

"Speaking of which... there are so many Fighting and Ground-type Pokémon that can clear dust; you could say they're the biggest dust-clearing Pokémon."

By promising the Rocky Berry, Su Yu successfully kept Oddish and the others. After doing all that, Su Yu took out a box of Energy Cubes, which Grass-type Pokémon like, and handed them to Oddish and the others.

As he handed it over, Su Yu said:

"Well done, you've done a good job guarding the orchard, this is a reward for you."

"Then what?"

Upon hearing this, the Oddish and the others gathered around the box of energy cubes and curiously opened it.

Upon opening, an enticing aroma wafted out. Clearly, this was a delicacy specifically designed to target Grass-type Pokémon.

The effect is excellent!

After successfully recruiting a group of Ground-type Pokémon, Su Yu brought them back to the cabin. Seeing the new Pokémon on the ranch, Dedric and the others curiously gathered around.

The Stone Balls and the others were initially a bit shy, cautiously hiding behind Su Yu. But after the Drummers and the others revealed that they also came from the forest, they immediately became friendly.

"Kuga~!" Where are you from?

"Knock knock, knock knock~" Chimney Mountain, where did you come from?

"Kuga!" We're from Chimney Mountain too, we're from the same hometown!

"Knock knock...?" Is it real?

Before Dongdong Mouse could finish speaking, Pangolin Mouse grasped Dongdong Mouse's hand, his eyes welling up with tears.

Dongdong Mouse: ...

Just then, Farfetch'd returned from fishing. Carrying its fishing rod on its shoulder, it slowly made its way back to the hut and witnessed this scene.

Seeing this, the leek duck nodded in agreement:

"Gah~!"

It was such a touching scene to see fellow villagers meet!

Nowadays, Pokémon are becoming increasingly impatient, and it's rare to see such genuine expressions anymore; it's truly a heartwarming sight.

Just then, Su Yu happened to pass by carrying a tub of ice cream and asked in confusion:

"Hey, you're back so early today! Did you miss the exam again?"

"Gah...(Д｀)"

No, no, I just found fishing a bit boring, so I came back early to practice racing with Iron Rhino.

"I see." Hearing this, Su Yu nodded and picked up the ice cream to leave.

Big Green Duck quietly watched the direction Su Yu left in, and only breathed a sigh of relief when it saw that Su Yu was really about to leave.

However, at this moment, Su Yu suddenly turned around, waved his hand, and shouted:

"Remember to have Squirtle catch some fish. Mela and the others are staying at the ranch for dinner tonight, and they can't do without fish."

"Gah...(╥﹏╥)" Thank you for letting me feel the coldness of the world again.

Helpless, the duck shed tears. It went back into the house, picked up a scallion, and declared that even if it had to split the lake open with an air slash, it would still catch a fish for Su Yu!

—The sword techniques that Farfetch'd had previously mastered seem to have been used in a strange way.

Meanwhile, Su Yu, carrying ice cream, also arrived at the construction site. There, Meira was leading the super-strong creatures in the construction.

Su Yu told Meila about the stone balls, and Meila smiled and nodded, saying:

"That's great. With these Pokémon joining us, the construction of our new home will surely be faster, and it should be fully completed in less than five days."

Upon hearing this, Su Yu also looked towards the construction site. At this time, Su Yu's small villa was gradually taking shape.

The super-strong creatures were busy carrying various materials in and out.

"The house is in your hands now. By the way, if you're staying for dinner tonight, what are you planning to eat?"

"I've already sent my Pokémon to catch some fish in the lake. Uncle Yang from next door also brought some sausages made from the meat of the Fragrant Pig when he came over a few days ago, and they tasted pretty good too."

"Um..." Mela smiled sheepishly and said:

"Please make more fish, boss. My dog, Guai Li, and I really enjoy it."

"You have a good eye. The fish I cook, especially the braised fish, is incredibly delicious with rice. Even someone like Creamy Fairy, who usually has a small appetite, can eat three bowls of it."

That evening, Lusamine took her child home.

Seeing Mela, who resembled a demon incarnate, and her monstrous strength, and witnessing the exaggerated speed at which she cooked the rice, Su Yu was utterly astonished. He should have... cooked more rice.

"It seems that these Fighting-type trainers are always getting hungry very easily..." Su Yu murmured.

It is said that Shiba, the fighting king of the Indigo League, especially loves to eat Angry Buns, and seems to eat a mountain of them at every meal.

The person in front of me is even more terrifying than Morubek when it comes to cooking!

……

……

The next morning, after finishing his work at the ranch, Su Yu rode his tropical dragon to town.

Today, he needs to go to an energy cube training course he previously enrolled in to learn how to make energy cubes.

After all, many of the tree fruits in the ranch are almost ripe. Once those tree fruits are ready to be harvested, Su Yu can start making energy cubes.

Therefore, Su Yu put the training course on his agenda.

Upon arriving at the training location, Su Yu regretted not bringing Alcremie along. Alcremie would definitely enjoy this kind of dessert training course. After all, in a way, energy cubes are also a type of dessert.

At this point, the lecturer on the podium also began to speak:

"Making Energy Cubes is a very delicate process. The direction and intensity of stirring during the process will affect the quality of the final Energy Cube product."

"Therefore, the creation of energy cubes also tests a maker's control over details."

"In addition, the flavor of the berries will also change and diminish during the mixing process after they are added. Different recipes and mixing methods will result in different flavors of the final energy cubes."

"Almost every trainer who is good at making Power Cubes will customize various flavors for their Pokémon to suit their Pokémon's preferences."

Upon hearing this, Su Yu nodded. Custom-made energy cubes for different Pokémon?

This is also what many trainers are looking for. For them, the best energy cube is the one that suits their Pokémon.

Those energy cubes on the market that prioritize nutritional balance and moderate taste are merely a backup option.
