Pokémon: Starting with a Pokémon Ranch.

Chapter 187 Squirrel Fairy: Sapres~!

They set up their stall at the flower show, looking rather bored.

Beside Su Yu was only one Pokémon, Tropius.

He couldn't understand how he had managed to annoy the Pokémon and cause them to act so strangely.

When asked, the tropical dragon shook its head blankly.

The tropical dragon thought to itself, "If I could let you walk back to the pasture, I would have already gone back with the woolly sheep by now."

While waiting with Su Yu, Tropical Dragon was also worried, wondering how the Alcremie and the others were doing with their preparations.

Just then, a family that seemed to be getting along very well stopped in front of Su Yu's stall, and the child in the family shouted:

"Mommy, it's a Gracidia flower! Should we buy some to give to Grandma?"

Upon hearing this, the mother in the family smiled kindly, squatted down with her child in her arms, and began to select items from the stall.

Flowers of gratitude are indeed very suitable to give to loved ones. In movies, there are even instances of people taking a train specifically to deliver flowers.

After that family, Su Yu's stall gradually attracted more and more customers. There weren't many ranches in town that grew Gracidia flowers, and Su Yu's ranch was extremely suitable for growing this flower, so it was naturally very popular.

……

Meanwhile, on the other side...

Busy making desserts, Alcremie first baked cookies. These cookies were carefully crafted by Alcremie into various adorable patterns, which took her a long time to work on.

After the cookies were baked, it started making cakes, drawing Su Yu and a bunch of Pokémon on them.

Feeling uneasy, Alcremie went out of the kitchen to check on things. Her mount, Goat, and Squirtle were diligently decorating the house. While riding Goat, Squirtle carefully hung up various ribbons and pennants.

However, at this moment, Growlithe was chasing after the dog, running around the house. In its rampage, it knocked over quite a few things, making a mess of the house.

Many of the colorful flags and ribbons that had been hung on the wall were also taken down.

—The Paw Patrol gets into big trouble.

"Gah... (Ｔ▽Ｔ)" My living room is so clean and tidy!

Seeing this, the green onion duck couldn't help but burst into tears.

"Jenny, Jelly!"

"Mama!"

Squirtle and Alcremie also condemned Growlithe's behavior. Everyone's busy, and not only do you not help, but you also cause trouble.

Immediately, Growlithe and Yummy were chased outside. They looked at each other and could only wander around outside dejectedly.

Meanwhile, the woolly sheep returned from town. Seeing the mess in the house, they worriedly said:

"What?"

Can we finish all this before Su Yu comes back?

Squirtle nodded confidently. Of course, that was on the condition that the dogs wouldn't come in and cause trouble.

……

……

Time gradually passed, and evening arrived.

As the crowd thinned out, Su Yu packed up his stall. Business was pretty good today; he had sold almost all the flowers he brought.

"Let's go back to the ranch!"

"Riding the tropical dragon," Su Yu said. Facing the setting sun, the tropical dragon slowly took off.

Along the way, Su Yu admired the boundless scenery of the pastoral area. By the time he returned to the ranch, it was already getting dark.

Strangely, none of the lights in the house were on. The entire house was pitch black, looking quite eerie.

"What's going on? Why aren't any of the lights on, Alcremie and the others?"

"Is the house haunted?"

Su Yu asked, puzzled.

Upon hearing this, the tropical dragon shook its head blankly, indicating that it didn't know either.

Su Yu had no choice but to keep the tropical dragon on its guard, while he himself stepped forward and carefully opened the door.

However, the first floor was completely empty. Seeing this, Su Yu headed towards the second floor.

At that moment, Squirtle and the other Pokémon were lying in ambush on the second floor. They listened carefully to the footsteps, and when Su Yu came up, they suddenly turned on the lights on the second floor.

Squirtle then activated its firework gun and leaped out from behind the wall:

"Jenny, Jenny~!" Ta-da—Sapres!

The room suddenly lit up, and at the same time, confetti from the fireworks gun filled the air. When Su Yu looked inside, he saw the costumes that Squirtle and the others had put on.

And... pairs of expectant eyes looking at Su Yu. Caterpie, Dedric, and the others were all gathered here, and even Farfetch'd stood proudly behind the group of Pokémon, holding a green onion.

—Although it's unclear how good this surprise will be, or whether it's childish to Su Yu, it's already the biggest surprise the Pokémon could offer him.

Therefore, the Pokémon were very curious about how Su Yu would react.

"What are you doing...?"

"Today isn't anything special, why are you making such a big deal out of it?"

Su Yu asked, puzzled.

Just then, Alcremie, riding her little lamb, emerged from among the Pokémon. She held a bouquet of Gracidian flowers in her hands, intending to give them to Su Yu.

Seeing this, Su Yu suddenly realized:

"So that's why..."

"Thank you, everyone. You must have been preparing for this for quite a while, right?"

Su Yu took the flower from the fairy's hand and said with a smile.

No wonder none of the Pokémon were willing to go to town with him when he asked repeatedly this morning; it turns out that's why.

At that moment, a horsefly brought over a flower wreath and placed it on Su Yu's head. Several honeybees worked together to carry over a bottle of their carefully crafted honey.

The scallion duck nodded slightly and presented Su Yu with a scallion with a straight stalk. This was a scallion that it had specially selected from the field, the best quality one, and the taste was absolutely delicious.

"Gah~!" Now that you've taken this scallion, don't ever mention ingredients to me again. This is a promise between us men!

Hearing this, Su Yu smiled and nodded. He wasn't one to kill the goose that lays the golden eggs; keeping this giant green onion duck meant an endless supply of green onions. How could he possibly bear to part with it?

At this moment, Su Yu once again experienced the feeling of family. That saying was indeed true: if you treat Pokémon with sincerity, they will treat you with sincerity in return.

It's not just about one-sided giving, but about receiving feedback and caring for each other – that's what true family feels like.

In the words of the Rockets trio, it's...that feels amazing!

"By the way, where's Growlithe? I can't find it."

Su Yu suddenly asked, puzzled.

Upon hearing this, Squirtle scratched his head awkwardly and turned to open the door to the master bedroom.

As soon as Su Yu opened the door, he saw Growlithe bound hand and foot inside. Upon seeing Su Yu, Growlithe wriggled a few times, even trying to wriggle right next to him.

"Jenny, Jenny..."

Squirtle explained that letting Growlithe roam freely in the house was too dangerous for the hanging decorations. Therefore, they had no choice but to tie Growlithe up.

"Cough... I understand, I understand."

A high-energy Growlithe can be even more destructive than a Siberian Husky.

Su Yu strongly agreed with this.
