Pokémon: Starting with a Pokémon Ranch.

Chapter 211 Frost Milk Fairy Searches for Her Mother

Because it is always in an emo state, it cannot autonomously extricate itself from the degenerate state.

The effects of the honey cake on Xiaoxiannai's body gradually dissipated by the next morning.

After reverting to its Alcremie form, it covered its face in embarrassment and ran to a corner to draw circles.

Seeing this, Su Yu was both amused and exasperated. He was holding his phone and chatting with the cake shop owner.

After chatting for a while, the other party sent over the location of a ranch, the place where the boss originally bought back Alcremie.

"Let's go, Alcremie. Today I'll take you to find your mother."

Taking Alcremie along, Su Yu rode his Gyro Dog all the way to the location of the cake shop owner.

This seemed to be a very old ranch, even the cabins were made of wood, only slightly better than the cabins Su Yu had stayed in before.

"Is this the place?"

Su Yu checked his phone again to confirm. If this was true, then this ranch... didn't seem to be doing too well.

Jumping off the back of the Growlithe, Su Yu went forward and knocked on the door. A short while later, an old man arrived.

Upon seeing Su Yu, the old man asked in confusion:

"Who are you? What do you want with us?"

"Um, hello, I'm Su Yu, the rancher of another ranch in the pastoral area."

"I'm here mainly to find my Pokémon's mother. Apparently, it was bought from your farm."

Su Yu explained.

Upon hearing this, the old man nodded in realization. He stared blankly at the Frost Milk Fairy behind Su Yu for a while before he finally understood:

"Oh...you're Matcha's child?"

"Then come in and have some hot tea, don't stand outside."

As he spoke, the old man walked inside.

Su Yu followed closely behind, observing the house as he went.

Most of the Pokémon inside looked quite old, and one of them, Butterfree, was completely unable to fly anymore; it lay helplessly in its nest.

The shuttlecock and swamp king plants next to them were in similar condition, looking quite unwell.

The old man explained:

"These are almost all the Pokémon that have been with me since I was a child. Over the years, many of them have passed away. Some of the remaining ones came later. Others are almost at the end of their lives."

"That's why the ranch gradually fell into disrepair, because I couldn't take care of it anymore."

Hearing this, Su Yu nodded. Like humans, Pokémon also age. Some Pokémon may live longer than humans, while others, such as Bug-type Pokémon, have extremely short lifespans.

The once-legendary Lord Mashder suffered a significant decline in strength due to the death of his former comrades. In the end, he chose to live in seclusion on the Isle of Armor.

"But Little Matcha came to the ranch later, and she's very capable. After arriving at the ranch, she helped me with a lot of things."

"It should be back by now. Every day at this time, it goes to the ranch next door to help out in exchange for some eggs to bring back."

As the old man was speaking, a Creamy Fairy in the form of a milky matcha tea suddenly opened the wooden door and walked in.

He handed a basket of eggs to the old man, then looked at Su Yu with curiosity.

"Mama~!"

Upon seeing this Alcremie, Su Yu's Alcremie seemed very excited. It rushed forward and stared directly into the other's eyes.

However, "Little Matcha" looked completely bewildered. It looked at the old man, wondering what kind of guest had come to the house? And why was this Alcremie so excited?

"Mama..." It doesn't recognize me...

Seeing this, Frost Fairy looked at Su Yu with great disappointment. Su Yu then handed her a honey cake and smiled:

"Would you like to try this?"

"Mama!" Alcremie nodded excitedly. After eating the honey cake, it quickly transformed back into its original form as a little fairy.

"Eek..." Then, it looked at Little Matcha.

Upon witnessing this incredible scene, Matcha was initially startled. After all, having lived for so long, it had never seen a Pokémon capable of regressing.

Gradually, it sensed a familiar shadow in the little fairy in front of it. It looked a bit like… the child it had been sold?

"Mama, Mama?" Child, is that you?

Little Matcha asked uncertainly.

Upon hearing this, Little Fairy nodded happily. Sure enough, its mother still remembered it and had not completely forgotten it.

After confirming that it was indeed her child, Matcha immediately took it in her arms.

The two Pokémon cuddled for a while, and after they separated, the effect of the Honey Cake wore off, and the Pokémon returned to normal.

It pointed to Su Yu and introduced him to its mother:

"Mama~!" This is my current trainer. He is also a rancher and is very capable.

Little Matcha nodded happily, took an egg pancake from the basket and handed it to Su Yu. It was a gift from the people at the neighboring ranch.

Seeing this, Su Yu waved his hand and declined its offer.

Alcremie, holding its mother's hand, recounted its experiences after leaving the ranch. It had first gone to a cake shop, diligently learning dessert-making techniques. Only after that did it go to Su Yu's ranch.

Little Matcha listened attentively. Although Alcremie's tone was very calm, it could sense the difficulty behind it.

When Little Matcha heard Alcremie say that it was very happy in its current ranch, it was genuinely happy for it.

"Mama..." It seems you're doing very well right now.

Gently stroking Alcremie's cheek, Little Matcha said this.

When it sold the child on the spot, it foresaw the decline of the ranch. In hindsight, that decision was correct.

Meanwhile, Alcremie was thinking of making some desserts for her mother on the spot to show off the results of her hard work over the years.

It borrowed the kitchen from the old man, and Little Matcha followed him.

The mother and daughter went to the kitchen, leaving only the old man and Su Yu behind. Seeing this, Su Yu took out some Alliance Coins and handed them to the old man.

He couldn't do much to help the ranch's decline, except offer some financial assistance.

"By the way, I also have a local specialty, goat milk, which is very good for strengthening the body. I'll have my staff deliver it to you later."

Su Yu suddenly thought of the goat milk produced by his mount, the little sheep. He wondered what kind of effect that goat milk would have on the old man and these Pokémon.

After waiting a while, Alcremie and the others finished making the dessert. Seeing this, the old man invited them to join him.

"Would you like to stay and have lunch with us?"

"Alright, then I'll trouble you." Su Yu nodded. This was good, as it would allow Frost Fairy and its mother to stay a little longer.
