Pokémon: Starting with a Pokémon Ranch.

Chapter 207 Cavalry Company, Charge!

"Okay, we can see that Kentaro from Minotaur Ranch is currently in a commanding lead."

"And our pre-match favorite, Farfetch'd... oh dear, its situation seems a bit precarious; it's squeezed into a bunch of Pokémon!"

"This situation looks very dangerous. One wrong move and you could be crushed or trampled. If you get injured, it could affect your performance in the subsequent matches."

When the live stream switched to the giant green onion duck, the host said with concern.

Farfetch'd is currently battling a group of Pokémon, wielding its green onion. Since everyone's rankings are roughly the same, going all out is the best way to eliminate the competition.

The surrounding Pokémon were attacking with great force, and Farfetch'd was trapped in the middle. Therefore, it not only had to deal with attacks from the front, but also had to be careful of those from behind.

"Quack!" Farfetch'd swung its green onion to block an attack from a Pokémon in front of it, but at that moment, it was ambushed by a Scyther behind it using Slash.

Seeing this, the giant green onion duck turned around and brandished its green onion blades, launching a sneak attack on a vital spot.

The slash struck Scyther's shoulder, a vital spot, crippling one of its arms. Seeing this, Scyther quickly slowed its Pokémon down, creating distance between itself and Farfetch'd.

"Quack~!" You dared to ambush me? Don't think that just because you're a docile duck, you have no temper!

Farfetch'd deftly sheathed his scallion, but then glanced at his back with a hint of regret. That sneak attack cost me so many feathers (﹏).

Looking at Kentaro, who had already pulled far ahead, the race track chosen was an abandoned road.

After running into the track area, the road gradually widened, making it easier to overtake.

Seeing this, Farfetch'd patted the Armored Rhinoceros beneath it. The Armored Rhinoceros immediately understood and ran at an even greater speed. Along the way, Farfetch'd used its leek blades to block attacks from all around, protecting the Armored Rhinoceros.

"Gah—!!" Cavalry company, charge!

This charge instantly surpassed many Pokémon. The host exclaimed in amazement:

"The Farfetch'd is charging in again! It doesn't look like it's given up yet."

"However, the other ducks don't seem to want it to overtake so easily. They've lined up in a row, seemingly trying to block the Farfetch'd's advance. So, how will it break through?"

Despite being surrounded and intercepted by numerous Pokémon, Rhyhorn's charging momentum remained undiminished. It charged forward, unleashing its [100,000 Horsepower] and [Stomp], relentlessly charging ahead.

The 100,000 horsepower provided it with tremendous impact force, while the heavy stomp move... shattered the surrounding ground, directly creating a landslide area.

"Holy crap, this is what you called a stomp?"

Seeing this scene, Yang Hao, who was eating popcorn in the audience, couldn't sit still any longer. This is called a stomp? You could call it an earthquake and I'd believe you!

Su Yu nodded calmly and said:

"It was indeed a heavy stomp."

"However... perhaps the armored rhinoceros is a bit too strong, and its internal energy is a bit too abundant."

After all, it's normal for the Armored Rhinoceros to be so strong since Su Yu feeds it grass cakes every day. Moreover, the excess energy from eating grass cakes has been accumulating in the Armored Rhinoceros's body, all for this day.

It's no wonder that the power generated by releasing all the energy within the body at this moment is so great.

As the Stomp move disrupted the attack, the Pokémon chasing after them were slowed down.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Rhydon used its 100,000 horsepower to smash through the defenses in front, sending several Pokémon flying.

"Is this... the effect of the hard head characteristic?"

Seeing this, Yang Hao also asked in confusion. It seemed that Su Yu had helped the Armored Rhino develop this characteristic, making its head even harder.

In other words, it's commonly known as... stubbornness.

"Is this still my armored rhinoceros that only knows how to plow the fields all day long...?"

Why does this armored rhinoceros seem to have changed so much after being with Su Yu for a month?

"After breaking through this defense, the Armored Rhino will enter the top tier of the top 50. The race ahead is still long. Who knows, they might actually take first place!"

Yang Hao could already hear many people below shouting "Refund!" It seemed that the Iron Rhino's act of shattering the ground had directly created a gap between the contestants.

Once a player has fallen behind, it becomes very difficult for them to compete for the championship again.

……

Further on, the armored rhinoceros, having eaten the special grass cake, smoothly overtook several other contestants, improving its ranking to within the top 30.

It felt as if the wind was propelling it as it ran, making it much faster than usual.

When Farfetch'd saw the 29th place, he noticed that another group of contestants had gathered there. They were all very close together, forming a very crowded formation.

"Huh?" No way... I'm going to be ganged up on by a bunch of Pokémon again?

Seeing this, the leek duck gripped its leek blade tightly, ready for battle.

However, as it got closer, it discovered that in front of the group of Pokémon, there was also a group of Mineswid riding Rapidash.

Throwing Monkey is a Pokémon that understands teamwork, and these Throwing Monkeys all come from the same ranch and are contestants who came as a team.

The host then said:

"Oh dear... Farfetch'd has also run into the runner-up team from Sunny Rainbow Pony Ranch. The ranch owner of this team is a pyrotechnic enthusiast, and last year he formed a Pyrotechnic team to compete and won second place."

"This year, all the little pony horses evolved into blazing horses, which seems to indicate that they are ready to compete for the championship. That's why they blocked the track."

"We've also invited Mr. Liu, the spokesperson for the competition. Mr. Liu, does this practice of forming teams to participate in the competition... violate the competition rules?"

Mr. Liu: "Um...we didn't have such a rule before. After all, this competition mainly focuses on a carnival for everyone, and we won't restrict people's participation."

"However, considering that the Little White Horse Ranch family has already caused a lot of trouble for other contestants, we may set up relevant rules next year to prevent this from happening."

Host: "Okay, thank you for your answer, Mr. Liu. Let's turn our attention back to the competition."

Seeing Farfetch'd blocked by Rapidash on the screen, Yang Hao also showed a worried expression:

"What?! You can team up and block the road like this?"

"What about the Farfetch'd and the other ducks? We clearly have the strength to win the championship, but now we're blocked by a group of horses."

Su Yu smiled and said:

"No rush."

"Actually, I also prepared a secret weapon for Farfetch'd and the others."

I have something to do tomorrow, so I'll be updating today earlier.
