Pokémon: Starting with a Pokémon Ranch.

Chapter 151 The New Home and the Future Plans of the Demolition Company

The second floor of the new house has a huge open-air platform, leading into a large hall. It can be used for receiving guests or for the Pokémon to play in on a daily basis.

"Considering your Tropius, boss, you can ride it directly to this platform if needed in the future. Of course, other flying Pokémon are also fine with it."

Mela explained.

On one wall of the hall, Su Yu planned to place a large television. He had received a voucher worth 50,000 Alliance Coins when he participated in the wool competition, which he could use to buy a television.

In addition, there was an aquarium in the hall. As soon as they arrived, Squirtle immediately brought out the tanks of Magikarp and Feebas from the cabin and put them in the aquarium.

"You're quite diligent," Su Yu said with a smile. And that's good too; placing it in such a conspicuous spot saves him from forgetting to feed the fish on weekdays.

After being placed in the aquarium, the Magikarp curiously swam around, observing its new environment.

As for Su Yu's usual sleeping place, it was also placed on the second floor, in a rather large master bedroom, to meet Su Yu's need to sleep with his Pokémon.

……

After touring the new home, Su Yu immediately began moving his things.

Fortunately, there weren't many things in the small house, and he finished moving everything in no time.

As he passed through the second-floor lobby, Alcremie was showing Dumbledore and the others around their new home.

The Drummers lined up and listened quietly to Frostfair's explanation.

The rat family followed nearby, the rat couple behaving like parents, placing their hands on the mice's shoulders to prevent them from running away. The mice, on the other hand, looked around curiously, seemingly full of curiosity.

"What are we playing, a tour guide game? Playing house?" Su Yu said with a smile, but he looked around and didn't see Squirtle anywhere.

"That's strange, where's Squirtle?"

With a bigger house comes the trouble of not being able to find people. Su Yu searched all the way from the second floor to the first floor before finally spotting Squirtle in the swimming pool.

At this moment, Squirtle is holding onto a tray floating on the water, leisurely floating on its back.

In its hand was a glass of freshly squeezed juice that Su Yu had just made for them.

"Squirtle really knows how to enjoy itself," Su Yu said with a smile. Upon hearing this, Squirtle flipped over and changed its floating method.

"Jenny, Jenny?" What's wrong?

"Stop swimming for now. Get up and get ready. Come with me to town later."

"I've moved to a new house, and there are a few things I need to buy."

"Squirrel, Squirrel~" Squirrel nodded.

When Su Yu arrived at the front door, he saw Meila squatting on the ground feeding the pangolin some kind of energy cube.

"Kuga~!"

After consuming the energy cube, the pangolin let out a joyful cry. Seeing this, Su Yu asked curiously:

Does it like these energy cubes?

"This is a food I made these past few days, based on a recipe for Energy Cubes that's been circulating on the market, suitable for Ground-type Pokémon."

Upon hearing this, Mela nodded:

"That should be it. This pangolin only exposes its belly when it's happy. That's its weakness, and also the softest part of its body."

As she spoke, Mela patted the pangolin's belly, causing it to let out a comfortable squeak.

Seeing this, Su Yu also squatted down and secretly petted it. Then, he looked at the other Ground-type Pokémon not far away and asked:

"So what are you going to do with these Ground-type Pokémon? Are you going to take them with you to hunt for ashes, or are you just going to release them back into the wild?"

When Su Yu first brought these Ground-type Pokémon over, it was a deal made with Pineapple Berries. Now that Su Yu's new home is finished, the question of what to do with these Pokémon has become a problem.

"Is...is it okay?" Mela asked, stroking Sandshrew's belly. She was unfamiliar with this practice of "abducting" wild Pokémon.

Su Yu responded with a smile:

"Sure, of course. I know the rangers in this forest very well, and taking some wild Pokémon within reasonable limits is no problem at all."

That's how Dedric and the others came to be, and that's how Oddish and the others came to be. In fact, Oddish was introduced to them by Lu Li. These Pokémon are now all working diligently on the ranch.

—Su Ranch Owner, an old, elfin capitalist.

After being persuaded by Su Yu, Mela finally made up her mind to take them with her. After all, these Ground-type Pokémon were quite good, and their abilities were very suitable for defeating enemies.

Mela fed the pangolin another energy cube and asked:

"Sandshrew, would you like to come with me to continue collecting ashes?"

"Leave Chimney Mountain and the forest, leave this ranch, and go to all sorts of places to build skyscrapers. Of course, if I had the money, I'd buy you all sorts of delicious food and fun things. I wonder if you'd be willing to live like that?"

"Kuga..."

Upon hearing this, the pangolin looked thoughtful. Then, it nodded; after spending many days together, it had gradually come to trust the human before it.

After Sandshrew, Mela asked about other Ground-type Pokémon. Portable and Excadrill watched with curious eyes.

"What, do you want to go with Meila too?" Su Yu asked upon seeing this.

The two Pokémon immediately shook their heads. They preferred life on the ranch to being covered in dust, where their companions were and the life was much more leisurely.

"I see..." Su Yu stroked his chin. He had actually considered sending his two Pokémon to the construction site. After all, they seemed to quite like it.

After obtaining the consent of all the Ground-type Pokémon, Mela returned with several Poké Balls.

Su Yu then said:

"I know the head of a large construction team, and his son happened to be visiting my ranch at that time. Go join that team and learn from them."

"By the time you return after completing your studies, you may already be capable of managing a large construction team. Then, we can make further plans."

Hearing this, Meila nodded. Anyway, Su Yu was the boss, so she would do whatever he said.

Moreover, listening to Su Yu wouldn't hurt. On the contrary, since Su Yu became the boss, Meila's construction team has been developing better and better. At this rate, they might actually be able to build a large construction team in the future.

In response, Su Yu stroked his chin, his eyes looking strange.

In the game... the Devon family made their fortune through mining and steelmaking, while Silver made their fortune through Poké Balls. The Marocmon Corporation does almost everything, and it's impossible to know exactly where they started.

If I, Su Yu, were to develop into a giant in the future, wouldn't that mean... I made my fortune by burning ashes?!

Dominating all alliances... the gray industry?
