Pokémon: Starting with a Pokémon Ranch.

Chapter 17 One net cast, and it's full of fish

Su Yu watched as Growlithe practiced the Spark move until it got dark.

We took Growlithe back the way we came, and Growlithe was very excited the whole way.

It felt that its strength had greatly improved after today's training. If it continued training like this, it should be able to learn new moves very soon.

However, when Su Yu got home and finished cooking, he found that the Growlithe had already fallen asleep on the side.

Seeing this, Su Yu chuckled:

"What a silly dog, it didn't even eat dinner and just fell asleep from exhaustion."

He took the Pokémon food he bought from town to Tropius; Su Yu couldn't make this kind of food yet.

For Pokémon, the energy expended during a full day of training is far too much to be replenished by eating only the small amount of regular food. Therefore, supplementing their diet with special Pokémon food is essential.

The most typical Pokémon food among these is the Energy Cube. A small cube contains a large amount of concentrated energy and nutrients, and it tastes quite good.

After serving the food to the tropical dragon and hairy crab, Su Yu took three plates of milk pudding to the Woolblade sheep before returning to the house to wake up the Growlithe.

"Hey, silly dog, wake up and eat. If you want to sleep, wait until you finish eating."

After trying to wake it up for a long time without success, Su Yu had no choice but to place a plate of braised pork ribs in front of the Growlithe, letting the aroma fill its nose.

Upon smelling the aroma, the sleeping Growlithe smacked its lips a few times, finally waking up from its hunger.

Looking at the fragrant braised pork ribs in front of him, Growlithe glanced at Su Yu. Seeing this, Su Yu smiled and said:

"Eat up, and then drink a bottle of Moo Moo Fresh Milk. That's your dinner for tonight."

As he spoke, Su Yu began to eat what was in his own bowl.

Meanwhile, on the other side...

As night fell, the tropical dragon shared some of the food on its plate with the Alcremie beside it.

After arriving at the ranch, Alcremie never left Tropius's side, but instead hid on Tropius's back, observing the ranch.

The tropical dragon initially thought that the Alcremie had simply escaped from the cake shop and wanted to have some fun. However, to its surprise, after touring the ranch, the Alcremie expressed a desire to stay.

"Huh? You actually want to stay?"

Upon hearing this, Alcremie nodded very seriously and replied:

"Ma, Ma!" This is the ranch I've always wanted. I love it here.

From birth, Alcremie has always worked in the cake shop, providing the owner with fresh cream and helping him make cakes every day.

The rest of the time, it just sits in the cramped cake shop, doing basically nothing.

Therefore, Alcremie had long been tired of that kind of life, and her longing for ranch life began from that time.

Upon seeing the boundless grassland and blue sky, as well as the various Pokémon on the ranch, Alcremie became even more determined in her decision.

This is the place it dreamed of living in; it, the Alcremie, wants to stay here.

After hearing Alcremie's idea, Tropius also showed a thoughtful expression and said:

"Hey~" But this ranch belongs to Su Yu. If you want to stay, you should get his permission, right?

Hearing this, Alcremie also began to worry. At this moment, Tropical Dragon continued:

"Hey~!" But it's okay, I can take you to meet him tomorrow. I'm sure he'll be happy to accept a Pokémon like you.

"Ma, Ma~"

Upon hearing this, Alcremie immediately expressed her gratitude to Tropical Dragon.

……

The next day.

Su Yu got up early in the morning. After getting up, he went to the fields and watered the crops.

Then, I took a look at the medicinal herbs in the herb field.

"Hmm...a lot of medicinal herbs have started to grow. The information Xiaogang sent me yesterday was really useful; it actually helped me."

Looking at the medicinal herbs that were gradually sprouting new buds, Su Yu smiled with satisfaction. From now on, a large portion of the ranch's income would depend on these herbs.

Afterwards, Su Yu called several restaurants in the town to inquire whether they needed to buy fish.

After discovering yesterday that there were many fish in the lake on his farm, Su Yu asked Uncle Yang for the contact information of some restaurants in town, which was for this purpose.

After receiving the call, one of the newly opened food stalls immediately expressed their interest in purchasing the fish and asked Su Yu if he could deliver a batch of fish to their door that day.

Upon hearing this, Su Yu was taken aback for a moment, then immediately agreed. Riding his tropical dragon, he ran to Uncle Yang's house next door to borrow a net, then returned to his own ranch and threw the net forcefully into the lake.

"Tropical dragon, try flying towards the shore. I think I've caught quite a few fish with this net!"

"Tighten the net," Su Yu said.

Upon hearing this, the tropical dragon quickly flew towards the shore, and in its flight, Su Yu almost lost his grip on the net. The fish caught in the net were too heavy, and it nearly slipped out of his hands.

"It seems my strength is a bit lacking; I need to train sometime."

Unexpectedly, there are times when I am powerless in this world, even though I am much stronger than in my previous life thanks to the energy of this world.

Ideally, he could become a true beginner like Ash (just kidding).

After the fishing net was brought ashore, it caught quite a few big fish, filling the entire net to the brim.

The fish inside were of very good quality, as expected of fish raised in this lake. Some of the fish were so fat that Su Yu was envious.

He kept a few of them to cook himself, and then had the tropical dragon carry him and the net full of fish to the town in a hurry.

At this moment, the newly opened food stall had just opened its doors. The person in charge was quite surprised by Su Yu's efficiency.

However, they immediately got to work, and after carefully examining the net of fish, they said:

"Hmm... these fish are of very good quality, we can buy them."

"For now, let's set the price at the market rate. If the quality is good, we can sign a long-term supply agreement with you later."

Upon hearing this, Su Yu nodded. The restaurant manager readily paid the bill; this single net was worth three thousand Alliance Coins.

"This is much faster than making money as a fisherman. Sure enough, if you want to catch fish quickly, being a fisherman is the least promising path."

No wonder those guys fishing near his house in his past life were always muttering something: "Release one unit of electricity, and you'll get a hundred pounds of fish in return."

After delivering the fish, Su Yu and the tropical dragon returned to the ranch together. At this time, the Growlithe had just woken up, still drowsy.

"Sigh... ranchers are so busy, it's better to be a Pokémon."

Looking at the Growlithe's relaxed expression, Su Yu said with envy.
