Pokémon: Starting with a Pokémon Ranch.

Chapter 204 A fragrant personality, a 1.7-meter-tall green onion

"Mama?"

Was that Suicune just now?

Just as Suicune stepped onto the island in the middle of the lake, Alcremie and Bumblebee happened to arrive at the flower field. Since it was currently the blooming season, the fields were a vibrant sea of ​​colorful flowers, a truly beautiful sight.

Su Yu nodded in response to Alcremie's question:

"You saw it too?"

"Mama~!" Alcremie said, of course she saw it.

"He looks pretty handsome, doesn't he? But he's also quite mysterious; he usually doesn't show himself in front of humans."

Stroking Alcremie's head, Su Yu said this.

"However... it's not so certain for Pokémon. You can give it a try; you might be able to encounter it around Lake Moon."

After saying this, Su Yu left Moon Lake. On the way, he went into the flower field for a look. During the few days he was away from the ranch, Butterfly and Three Bees had been helping to take care of the flower field.

They look to be quite well taken care of; they are indeed excellent at collecting honey.

Among the flowers, Su Yu discovered a plant completely different from the surrounding flowers. He dug it out of the soil, and immediately the system displayed its information.

Special Item: Personality Herb.

"A herb with the special ability to change the nature of Pokémon. It is extremely rare and only grows in fields of Gracidia flowers."

Is this... a special item only found in PokeMMO?

In his previous life, Su Yu had also worked as a flower farmer in this game for a period of time, so he was quite familiar with this special plant.

"Let's leave it here for now. I can't think of any dishes to make with it in the short term."

After putting the herb into his pocket, Su Yu went to the grassland beside the farmland. There, Farfetch'd was practicing riding his armored rhinoceros.

After a month of training, Farfetch'd and Rhino have developed a high level of teamwork. Rhino's strength has also improved significantly during this time.

Not only did he learn the Heavy Stomp move, but he also grasped some basic form of the more advanced Earthquake move.

Meanwhile, Farfetch'd, after receiving the secret manual for ambushing vital points from Rashomon, successfully learned this move.

"With that, the preparations for the race are quite thorough. Now, let's see how they perform in the competition."

Seeing that the big green duck was still practicing diligently, Su Yu nodded. Although his duck liked to fish and be lazy, if he really wanted it to practice, it would be more hardworking than anyone else.

"Duckling, come here for a second!"

Su Yu waved and said this. Upon hearing this, Farfetch'd rode over on his armored rhinoceros.

With a light leap, the farfalle duck landed on the ground:

"Gah?" What's wrong, duck?

"Give me your green onion, let me see if I can enhance it further."

Su Yu said that since the ancient tree enhanced his Everlasting Power, he hadn't tried to further strengthen the scallion.

However, this kind of enhancement still has its limits. Before this, Su Yu could enhance the scallion to a length of 1.2 meters at most, and he couldn't enhance it any longer.

With the competition imminent, Su Yu decided to give it another try. After receiving the scallion, Su Yu channeled the power of Tokiwa into it through his hand.

As the power of Tokiwa surged in, the leek began to emit wisps of green light. Under these circumstances, its length, which had been stagnant for a long time, finally began to stretch, eventually settling at 1.3 meters.

"Is this the limit?" Su Yu frowned upon seeing this. Only 10cm, that's far from enough!

Just then, Su Yu's mounts, the little lambs, happened to be taking a stroll and came over. Seeing this, Su Yu called them over.

"What? Why did you call us over here?"

Looking at Su Yu, the little sheep on his mount tilted its head in confusion and asked.

Su Yu then handed the scallions to them and explained the situation.

Immediately, the little lambs on their mounts eagerly said:

"Meow~!" No problem, leave it to us~!

Immediately, the three little lambs stood around the scallion, channeling the grass energy from their bodies into it.

As energy was poured in, the scallion continued to grow, reaching 1.4 meters, 1.5 meters...

Ultimately, the scallion reached a length of 1.7 meters. And not only in length, but also with the enhanced energy of the grass, the scallion became thicker and stronger.

If green onions had weapon affixes, they might be displaying "Epic Green Onion" right now.

"Gah...!" (ω) Wow, that's amazing!

Seeing this, the giant green onion duck also showed an admiring expression. In that case, wouldn't a forty-meter-long green onion be just around the corner?

"Meow~! (*≧▽≦)" Our length is four times yours, hiahiahia!

One of the mount sheep, upon seeing the enhancement results, laughed so hard it rolled on the ground. Seeing this, Su Yu cast a cold glare at it, and the other two mount sheep nudged it with their hooves.

"Meow..." Just kidding.

The little lamb immediately stood up, but it still looked like it couldn't help but smile.

After that, Su Yu looked at the giant green onion duck and said:

"Try it out and see if this length is comfortable for you. For a lance, the longer the leek, the better."

"Take these next few days to get used to this length, since the speed race is coming up in a few days."

"Gah~!"

Upon hearing this, the green onion duck nodded in agreement.

……

Meanwhile, in the Hoenn region.

Several days have passed since I brought Squirtle and the others here. During this time, they even secretly went and defeated the Rock-type Gym in Rustboro City.

When Steven went to pick her up, he met the Gym Leader Cuckoo's resentful gaze. It seemed she was asking Steven, "What are you doing, a League Champion, sending this Pokémon to her gym to 'smash fish'?"

If you want to fight, why don't you just go and fight yourself?

At the time, Daigo was quite innocent. He explained the origins of Squirtle and Caterpie, and said:

"If they're really that strong, why didn't you just send your own team? Why did you have to get beaten so badly?"

Dujuan's eyes grew even more resentful at this. The League does indeed have rules: Gym Leaders must determine the strength of the Pokémon they send out based on the challenger's skill and the number of badges they've already earned.

But this Squirtle... it's not a matter of type advantage or disadvantage anymore. It's something I can't beat even if I bring a whole team of them, right?

"cough……"

"I understand. From now on, I will try my best to keep them away from you."

"Daiwu said seriously. He almost forgot that Cuckoo was actually the weakest of the Gym Leaders in the Hoenn region, and given that her type was weak against Squirtle, it was normal that she couldn't beat him."

After bringing the Squirtle back, Daigo repeatedly told them not to disturb the cuckoo anymore.

Although telling Pokémon not to bully Gym Leaders sounds a bit strange. After all, Gym Leaders are generally not the ones who get bullied; normally, they're the ones who bully others.

Meanwhile, Squirtle was examining the badge box in its hand and the rock badge inside.

"Do you like these badges?"

Seeing this, Daigo asked in confusion.

"In that case, let's head to Dewford Town to dig for rocks! There's a Fighting-type Gym there, where you can collect badges."

"I'll take you all with me when I'm done with my work in a few days."

The Stone Cave in Dewford Town is also Daigo's favorite place. There, he can collect many high-quality stones. So, in the past, he would often spend a whole week there.
