Pokémon: Starting with a Pokémon Ranch.

Chapter 181 Zhihui the Gorilla and Pear Juice

After receiving the gift, the messenger bird prepared to leave.

Su Yu then handed it another stack of flyers, saying:

"By the way, I might be opening a barbecue restaurant here in a few days, but I doubt many of the neighbors know about it."

"Could you please deliver these flyers for me on your way?"

However, it didn't seem very convenient to have the messenger bird carry the flyers, so Su Yu simply found a crossbody bag and put the flyers inside.

"Beli~"

Upon hearing this, the messenger bird nodded.

After leaving the ranch, its first stop was Morning Light Ranch, where Su Yu had previously taught him how to plant fruit trees.

Knocking on the door of the cottage, the messenger bird handed the goat's milk to the ranch owner. The ranch owner, quite surprised by the messenger bird's attire, said:

"Is that... a Santa hat?"

"Although Christmas is still a long way off, this looks perfect for you, messenger bird, it's so cute to wear."

Upon hearing this, the messenger bird shyly touched the hat on its head and replied:

"Bella~!" This is a gift from Su Yu!

After delivering the goat's milk, the messenger bird was about to wave goodbye to its mistress. However, it suddenly remembered its extra task for the day.

The messenger bird hurriedly pulled a flyer from its shoulder bag and handed it to the woman, gesturing for her to look at it. After seeing it, the woman said:

"Oh... these are flyers from Ranch Owner Su. Is he planning to open a new barbecue restaurant?"

"Alright, I'll bring Antuo along later to patronize Su Ranch Owner's business. Messenger bird, thank you for delivering the flyer for me."

As she spoke, the hostess went back into the house to get a bottle of tree fruit drink and gave it to the messenger bird.

The messenger bird waved its hand as if to refuse, but then the woman forcibly stuffed the drink into its arms.

"Just take it. It's nothing much, just a small gift."

Upon hearing this, the messenger bird accepted the drink. It put the beverage in its pocket and then flew off to its next destination.

……

After that, the messenger bird distributed leaflets to many other places.

Gu Lihuo, the electronics store owner, and Ah Xian, who was broken by the superhuman strength...

"So, you're already preparing to open a barbecue restaurant, senior?"

Upon receiving the message, Gu Lihuo was visibly surprised. Since leaving the throwing monkeys in the orchard, his ranch had finally gotten back on track.

However, compared to the speed at which Su Yu managed his ranch, it still seemed to be quite slow.

After putting away the flyers, Gu Lihuo looked at the messenger bird whose pockets had actually increased in size after delivering the goat milk, and asked in confusion:

"Is it because you're too popular with the neighbors?"

It seems these things were gifts from the neighbors.

"In that case, I'll bring you some tree fruit too," Gu Lihuo said with a smile. Then, he asked the throwing monkeys to help him pick some tree fruit from the orchard.

"Please also tell my senior that I will definitely be there on opening day."

……

……

Meanwhile, on the other side...

After milking the goats, Su Yu went to make all the energy cubes needed for the day.

After all, Gladion brought back a large group of Pokémon from Ether Pharma yesterday. With so many Pokémon, they must have quite a appetite.

Fortunately, the orchards on the ranch have a large enough yield, so even though there are many Pokémon, there are still more than enough to raise them.

After finishing making the energy blocks, Su Yu carried a large basin of energy blocks to the backyard.

Most of the Pokémon rescued yesterday are gathered here now. They are talking to each other and look much better than yesterday.

"Everyone, dinner's ready!"

Su Yu called out to the Pokémon, and then placed the Power Cube on the ground.

Upon hearing this, all the Pokémon gathered around, and several of the stronger Pokémon ran faster and immediately took up the best spots at the edge of the basin.

Other Pokémon could only follow closely behind, but some weaker Pokémon, even if they ran fast, couldn't squeeze in and were excluded.

Because they are too weak, they can only stand outside and watch helplessly, unable to eat anything.

Seeing this, Su Yu brought over another bowl of Energy Cubes and placed it in front of these weak Pokémon. There were several Pichu, as well as Yamper, Timid, and other weak Pokémon.

Touching one of the Sweet Bamboo Pokémon, you can see that it's a fruit-type Pokémon with a very sweet-smelling sweat that emits a captivating fragrance.

Its final evolution, Sweetie, is a Pokémon that loves to stomp on its enemies, laughing loudly as it does so.

—Sweat smells sweet, I like to step on my enemies, and then I sweat more and more as I step on them?

Thinking of this, Su Yu's eyes turned strange. This seemed to satisfy the cravings of some people with weird psychologies.

However, Sweet Bamboo was unaware of what Su Yu was thinking at that moment. It was eating the energy cubes in the bowl and making happy noises.

"Zhuzhu~!"

However, due to a mishap, Tian Zhuzhu fell backward to the ground. Seeing this, Su Yu quickly helped her up and used the power of Changpan to examine her.

"Hmm...it seems your bodies are still too weak. Being subjected to all sorts of experiments by Zaobo for so long has taken a toll on your health."

"After you finish eating, I'll make you some fruit milk to help you recover."

As he spoke, Su Yu glanced around. Most of these Pokémon appeared to be malnourished. It seemed they would need some time to recover.

Then, Su Yu looked at the Oranguru beside him. This Oranguru didn't seem weak either, but it wasn't fighting over the food in the large bowl like the other Pokémon.

Instead, it gathered with these weaker Pokémon and calmly ate the energy cubes in the small bowl.

Noticing Su Yu's gaze, Zhihuixing also looked over and asked in confusion:

"command?"

What's wrong?

Upon hearing this, Su Yu shook his head and smiled:

"It's nothing, it's just that seeing you reminded me of an old acquaintance of mine."

"By the way, do you know how to make pineapple juice?"

In the anime, there is a magical gorilla living in the Alola region who owns a tavern.

The wise gorilla was very skilled at making pineapple juice, and its recipe was later learned by Mao's father. This juice eventually became the signature drink at Mao's father's restaurant.

Upon hearing this, the intelligent gorilla was puzzled as to how Su Yu knew it could make pear juice. It nodded, and seeing this, Su Yu said happily:

"Really? Can you teach me? I'm currently planning to open a barbecue restaurant and I'm struggling to figure out how to increase the variety of drinks available!"

"Or, you could come work at my barbecue restaurant and help me make juice for customers. I'll pay you just as much."

Upon hearing this, the intelligent gorilla waved its fan, a thoughtful expression on its face. Strictly speaking, Su Yu was actually its savior. Since that was the case, teaching it how to make juice wasn't a problem.

"Commander!"

Thinking of this, Zhihui nodded. Teaching you is fine, or you can stay here and work for me, that's also acceptable.

Since that's the case, I'll stay here and help out from now on until I repay the kindness you've shown me.
