Pokémon: Starting with a Pokémon Ranch.

Chapter 202 The Auditorium Tree, Returning to the Ranch

After Su Yu finished packing his things.

"Stereomorphosus, Snow Child, it's time for us to go!"

Su Yu called over several Pokémon and put them into Poké Balls.

This naturally included Suicune. After nodding to Su Yu, Suicune touched the ball on its own and returned to its own.

After that, Su Yu went to say goodbye to Yang Wen. Before parting, Yang Wen gave Su Yu several tea tree saplings.

"This is a special tea tree that grows on the highest peak of our Officer Jenny territory. It is called the Hall Tree and has a special effect of calming the mind and focusing the spirit."

"Just take them back and plant them on the ranch. I don't really have anything to give you since you're leaving all of a sudden."

Yang Wen explained.

Upon hearing this, Su Yu gratefully accepted the tea trees and left Yang Wen's residence.

As Su Yu was leaving, he saw what appeared to be a fairly large cake shop in a town in Officer Jenny's Territory.

"Oh, by the way, before you leave, why don't you buy some desserts on the way back? Alcremie would really love them."

Su Yu patted the tropical dragon's neck and said this.

……

At this time, in the pasture.

Su Yu has been gone for several days. In the days he's been away, the woolly horned sheep have been running rampant in the pasture every day.

At these times, the riding lambs will use the grassy areas to stop the woolly horned sheep and prevent them from damaging the pasture.

"Ugh..." How boring!

Unable to rampage freely, the woolly sheep simply lay down on the ground out of boredom. When Su Yu left, he had actually foreseen that they would sneak into the house to watch TV, so he limited their daily TV viewing time!

This makes the time spent waiting to watch TV during the day incredibly agonizing for the woolly-horned sheep.

Out of boredom, one of the woolly horned sheep started practicing a combo consisting of jumping and a headbutt, repeating it dozens or even hundreds of times.

Not far from the woolly sheep, the farfalle duck was riding the armored rhinoceros, practicing its dashes back and forth.

They are preparing for the Pokémon racing competition in a few days, while Alcremie and Squirtle are waving cheering sticks and encouraging them.

Further away from here is the Sky Tree Restaurant. However, it no longer accepts human customers, as the Seagull Town barbecue branch is currently under renovation.

The townspeople were all looking forward to the day the shop opened, hoping to taste the same delicious food they had enjoyed before.

Even so, the Sky Tree Restaurant remains consistently popular with customers. This is because they sell a very delicious pineapple juice.

Here, the Pokémon rescued from Zaobo are lining up, waiting for their drinks. Meanwhile, a family of mice are busily going back and forth, serving freshly squeezed juice to the restaurant's customers.

"Woof..."

Upon arriving at the restaurant, the dog found a seat by the window and slapped several farm-exclusive vouchers on the table. It sipped its juice, lost in thought.

It's been so many days since I parted from Growlithe, and I wonder how her best friend is doing now?

Meanwhile, Su Yu, riding the tropical dragon, was getting closer and closer to the ranch. High in the sky, he could already see the other ranches in the pasture area on the ground.

"That's the ranch where you'll be staying from now on!"

After releasing the Snow Child and the others from their Poké Balls, Su Yu pointed and said...

Upon hearing this, the Snow Children also poked their heads out from the back of the tropical dragon and looked down.

They exhaled a breath, feeling somewhat unaccustomed to the southern weather.

Seeing this, Su Yu smiled and said:

"Once we land, I'll have the Styracosaurus create an ice field for you all, so you won't feel hot."

The Styracoid was able to absorb heat and convert it into ice energy. The hotter the place, the colder it was to it.

Therefore, Su Yu doesn't need to worry about the habitat of the Snow Children, which is why he can bring them along with peace of mind.

At this moment, the tropical dragon slowly lowered its altitude and landed steadily on the ground.

"Mama~!"

After Su Yu returned, Frost Fairy rushed over immediately and was the first to jump into Su Yu's arms. Seeing this, Su Yu smiled and picked her up.

Sure enough, after being away for a few days, it was still the adorable Alcremie who missed him the most.

After seeing the tropical dragon land at the window, LaiDianWang followed closely behind and ran out of the Sky Tree.

Seeing this, the other Pokémon in the restaurant all looked out the window.

Seeing that Su Yu had returned, they put down their juices and came out to welcome him.

"There's no need for that. I was only gone for a few days; it's not a big deal."

Su Yu waved his hand and said.

Even so, all the Pokémon gathered around to welcome him back, and it took them a long time to disperse.

"Woof woof~!" Where is my dearest friend?

At this moment, Ridedog also looked behind Su Yu with confusion, asking where Arcanine had gone.

"Oh, it probably isn't sleeping inside the ball, is it? I'll let it out and check."

As he spoke, Su Yu took out Arcanine's Poké Ball.

A flash of red light appeared, and Growlithe's imposing figure materialized in the ranch. Upon seeing this large dog, Rumble was momentarily stunned.

"Woof...??" Where's my dog? Where's my tiny Growlithe?

You've grown so much in just a few days?

"Awoo~()"

Arcanine grinned, baring its teeth, and licked Yamper. This familiar gesture confirmed to Yamper that the giant Pokémon before it was indeed Growlithe.

No matter how mature and composed its evolved appearance may be, Arcanine's true nature crumbles in an instant once it returns to the ranch.

"Awoo~" Let's go play together (▽*)!

Immediately, at Arcanine's invitation, the two canine Pokémon began to frolic in the ranch, just like Arcanine before its evolution.

"How wonderful, their friendship remains unchanged. Even after Growlithe evolved, they still play and frolic like before."

Su Yu sighed, saying that he really wanted to keep this ranch running forever, so that the Pokémon here could always consider this place their home.

Even when he grows old, or has descendants, these Pokémon will still protect this ranch and this home.

Upon hearing Su Yu's words, the Suicune inside the ball fell silent for a moment.

He could clearly sense that this Super-King had a pure heart unlike that of other humans, especially when facing the Pokémon in these ranches.

Su Yu glanced at the Pokémon with a puzzled look, noticing that it hadn't released its Poké Ball after returning to the ranch. Seeing that the Poké Ball remained still, he couldn't tell if Suicune had fallen asleep.

"Then let's go arrange things with the Styracosaurus first..."

Near Su Yu's house, there was actually a small cave. Since there wasn't enough time to arrange a new home for the Styracosaurus and the others, Su Yu planned to temporarily house them there.

Carrying the Frost Fairy to the cave, Su Yu released the Triceratops and the others.

"I'm sorry, Styracosaurus, due to time constraints, I can only temporarily place you here."

"When I have more free time in a while, I will definitely arrange a new place for you!"

"Spine!"

Upon hearing this, the Styracosaurus waved its hand dismissively. It used its dorsal fins to absorb heat from the air and converted it into ice energy, which it then exhaled.

In no time, the entire cave transformed into a crystal-clear ice cavern. Upon seeing this, the snow children excitedly danced and gesticulated.

"Spine~"

Seeing this, the Styracosaurus nodded calmly. Su Yu had said that the strong should help the weak. Therefore, it should also find joy in helping others.

First, let's try to see what Pokémon on this ranch need help!

With that thought in mind, the Styracoid began to roam the pasture. After learning of the Styracoid's thoughts through the power of Viridian, Su Yu was somewhat amused and exasperated.

—What does "With great power comes great responsibility" mean?
