Pokémon: Starting with a Pokémon Ranch.

Chapter 19 The Pokémon That Stole Sheep?

Meanwhile, on the other side...

Growlithe and Alcremie are touring the ranch.

Although it's called a tour, there's really not much to see on the ranch. While it's much more lively than when the ranch was first established, there are only a few facilities left.

Growlithe and Alcremie first went to the farmland where Su Yu planted vegetables. On their way back, they ran into the Wooloos who were out "patrolling".

These woolly sheep especially love to curl themselves into a ball of wool; their wool is so elastic that it can bounce up and down like a ball.

At this moment, however, these Woolblade sheep looked somewhat different, as if they had used the "Cotton Defense" technique.

This made Growlithe a little envious. Despite its hard work, it hadn't learned a single move, while the Wooloo, who just strolled around the ranch every day, were still so strong.

However, Growlithe knew that this was all thanks to Su Yu's "Milk Pudding." This dish was perfect for a Normal-type Wooloo. Therefore, Growlithe could only be envious.

As Alcremie introduced the Wooloo sheep to the fairy, the sheep noticed Growlithe and hopped towards them. As they got closer, they greeted her.

"What?"

"Woof, woof!" This is the new Pokémon that came to the ranch, Alcremie.

"That's how Growlithe explained it to the Woolpigs," Growlithe explained.

Upon hearing this, the Woolstaff nodded to Alcremie, who responded in kind.

Then the woolly sheep asked again:

"Huh~?" What can this Pokémon produce?

After all, on a ranch, Pokémon that produce wool, like Wooloo, and crab claws, are almost all "useful".

And this Pokémon in front of me looks so cute, it should be able to produce something, right?

Upon hearing this, Alcremie looked at Growlithe, not understanding what Wooloo meant.

Growlithe then explained it to Alcremie, and Alcremie understood.

So that's what it means. Since it has to be "useful" to stay on the ranch, what can it do for Su Yu?

Suddenly, Alcremie remembered the cream it always used in the cake shop. So it tried to solidify it in its hand, and a ball of cream formed.

Alcremie distributed the cream to Wooloo and Growlithe:

"Mmm, mmm~!" This is my creation, you should try it.

"What?"

The Woolstice sheep, who had lived on the pasture since they were little, had never seen butter before. They took a bite and were instantly captivated by its sweetness.

"Baa, baa!" You're amazing! How did you do that...?

Seeing this, Growlithe also took a bite. Just one bite, and it experienced a delicious taste it had never tasted before. It excitedly expressed its joy to Alcremie.

This left Alcremie, who had grown up in the cake shop, somewhat bewildered. She smiled as she watched the excited Wooloo and Growlithe.

So this is the joy of sharing with friends...

……

……

When Su Yu and the tropical dragon returned to the ranch.

By this time, Alcremie had become friends with Growlithe and Wooloo.

Seeing this, Su Yu smiled and said:

"Tropical Dragon, you go and tell Alcremie the good news that it can stay."

After all, Tropius and Alcremie were the closest, and since it would save Su Yu some trouble, he handed the task over to Tropius.

Upon hearing this, the tropical dragon nodded to Su Yu and flew towards the Alcremie.

Just then, someone arrived at the ranch. Su Yu went over to take a look and saw that it was someone from the neighboring Mareep ranch, who had brought their Pokémon to see a veterinarian.

Yesterday in the group chat, Su Yu and the others had arranged for her to see a doctor at this time.

For Su Yu, treating a patient was a relatively simple task. He used some methods to observe the Pokémon and quickly identified its illness.

After prescribing some medicine for the Pokémon, the next ranch arrived.

This family has a lot of Pokémon needing medical attention. It seems they've contracted some kind of infectious disease, which has infected many of the Pokémon on the ranch. The situation looks quite serious.

Fortunately, they arrived in time, and Su Yu also prescribed medicine for them.

This rancher was an acquaintance of Su Yu's grandfather, and seeing the ranch gradually recovering, he remarked with emotion:

"It seems you're even better at running a ranch than your grandfather. It won't be long before this place is restored to its former glory as a large ranch."

Upon hearing this, Su Yu smiled, and after Su Yu finished treating the patient, the man asked again:

"By the way, do you have any local specialties on your ranch? Since you've come here for treatment, it's perfect to take some back with you and tell the people around here that business has resumed."

"I believe that after hearing this news, many of your grandfather's old acquaintances will come to visit this ranch."

specialty?

Su Yu immediately thought of the hairy cliff crab. As far as he knew, the hairy cliff crab in his family was unique in the surrounding area.

Fortunately, Su Yu had kept some when he sold them to Grandpa Liu earlier. After handing a bag of hairy cliff crab claws to the rancher, Su Yu said:

"If you like it, please remember to come back and buy it again."

Upon hearing this, the rancher took another look at the crab claw. It seemed that this thing was not simple.

"By the way, lately, it seems like a Pokémon has appeared around the ranches that steals sheep. Several ranches have already been affected, so remember to keep an eye out at night and make sure your sheep aren't stolen."

Before leaving, the rancher gave Su Yu another piece of advice, which surprised Su Yu.

A Pokémon that steals sheep?

What kind of Pokémon dares to be so arrogant in the pastoral area?
