Pokémon: Starting with a Pokémon Ranch.

Chapter 212 Buying the Ranch Behind the Mountain

When Su Yu was about to leave.

The Alcremie waved to its mother, indicating that it would come to see her again next time.

Upon hearing this, Little Matcha smiled and stood there, watching Su Yu and the others leave.

……

On the way home, Alcremie was especially happy. Seeing her mother again put her mind at ease.

"Mama~!" I love Su Yu the most!

Looking up at Su Yu, Frost Milk Fairy said this. If her mother was the most important person to her, then Su Yu was the person she liked the most.

It was all thanks to Su Yu that it was able to see its mother again this time.

Hearing this, Su Yu simply smiled. It was obvious, without needing to be told, that Alcremie liked it.

The relationship between humans and Pokémon can sometimes be that simple: treat them well, and they'll treat you well in return. Encounters and bonds are not always complicated.

While rushing along, perhaps because she was too tired from being emo for so long yesterday, Frost Fairy fell into a deep sleep in Su Yu's arms.

He slept soundly until Growlithe returned to the ranch, and he still hadn't woken up.

Just as they returned to the ranch, Lai Dian Wang came running over, barking loudly. Seeing this, Su Yu made a shushing gesture, signaling Lai Dian Wang to be quiet.

After that, Su Yu carefully picked up Alcremie from Arcanine's back and placed it on the big bed on the second floor.

After gently covering her with the blanket, Su Yu looked at Frost Fairy's adorable sleeping face and felt a pang of emotion.

Sometimes I really feel that it's so good to have met you all.

It wasn't just Su Yu who kept giving to these Pokémon; they also brought Su Yu a lot of joy and kept silently giving back to him.

The giant green onion duck diligently tended the green onion field, Frost Milk Fairy often prepared surprises for Su Yu, and his mount, the little sheep, provided energy to the crops every day.

Without these Pokémon, Su Yu would be all alone on the ranch, which would probably be very boring.

"After more than four months of being transported here, I'm probably already inseparable from these Pokémon."

Su Yu thought to himself.

If you really asked him to go back to a life without Pokémon, he would definitely be a million times unwilling.

Turning to leave the bedroom, Su Yu passed through the living room. Just then, he saw the woolly sheep sneaking in to watch TV while Su Yu had taken Alcremie out.

They hadn't noticed Su Yu's return. Now, suddenly seeing him, the woolly sheep trembled. However, to their surprise, this time Su Yu didn't restrict their television viewing.

"Remember not to watch TV for too long, and you must go out and move around every day. Otherwise, you'll gain weight very quickly!"

With that, Su Yu left the hall. The remaining woolly-horned sheep looked at each other, unsure of what had suddenly happened to Su Yu.

They're not stopping us from watching TV anymore?

……

……

The next morning, Su Yu edited a message and contacted Lu Li, the forest ranger who had visited the ranch before.

After all, the Pokémon rescued from Zaobo have almost all recovered, and it's time to release them back into the wild.

Shortly after receiving the message, Lu Li sent a reply:

"Do you have a lot of Pokémon? If so, I might have to report it first."

Upon hearing this, Su Yu glanced at the large group of Pokémon in the backyard and replied:

"There are... quite a lot."

So that afternoon, Lu Li arrived at the ranch. Looking at the hundreds of Pokémon in Su Yu's backyard, he asked in confusion:

"Which forest did you rob?"

"Ahem... It's not convenient to talk about the specifics right now. Anyway, these are all Pokémon that were captured by bad guys before, and I guarantee that on behalf of my Officer Jenny family."

"Could you please help me see if we can find a place to put them?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Li nodded:

"That's true. These Pokémon share exactly the same characteristics as some of the missing Pokémon in the Ranger's database."

"Tomorrow, I'll bring a team of rangers and take these Pokémon away."

After finishing their business, Lu Li chatted with Su Yu. It felt like the ranch had changed quite a bit in the few months they'd been apart.

Su Yu: "By the way, I wanted to ask, are there any plots of land around my ranch still available for sale?"

"I want to buy a piece of land. With the increasing number of Pokémon on the ranch, this ranch is no longer enough."

Su Yu bought the new land primarily for the Styracoids and their companions. After all, they couldn't keep living in the cave forever, could they?

However, there isn't a suitable place to house them in the current spaces on the ranch's surface. Therefore, Su Yu plans to buy a new piece of land.

Upon hearing this, Lu Li pondered for a moment and said:

"I do remember that's possible. You can buy this whole hillside behind your ranch. But the price might be..."

"That's not a problem. We can just buy a smaller one first and gradually increase the size later," Su Yu replied.

He has experience with this. In some games, you can only buy land little by little, because buying it all at once will strain your wallet.

After receiving Su Yu's confirmation, Lu Li immediately contacted a person in charge.

The person in charge led Su Yu to take a look at the back mountain. After walking around it, Su Yu nodded.

"Let's choose this mountain, it's quite nice."

After buying it, we might even be able to build an observatory on the mountaintop to observe the stars. And in July and August, we could even bring our Pokémon here to enjoy the cool air.

In winter, a ski slope can be built here specifically for Pokémon to ski.

Upon hearing this, the person in charge replied:

"The total is 650,000 Alliance Coins."

The mountain is actually quite large. Therefore, Su Yu felt the price was quite reasonable.

Su Yu immediately paid the full amount in one lump sum.

"You're so good to your Pokémon, even though it's just an ordinary mountain," Lu Li remarked from the side.

To go through all that trouble to buy such a mountain, just for one's own Pokémon? Lu Li knew he definitely couldn't do that.

After that, Su Yu went down the mountain to summon the halberd-spined dragon.

"Come with me, I have a surprise for you," Su Yu said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, the Triceratops and Snow Child followed, looking quite puzzled.

Seeing Su Yu lead them up the back mountain, the Styracosaurus was even more puzzled. If it wasn't mistaken, going any further would take them out of the pasture's boundaries.

Where is Su Yu taking them?

After climbing halfway up the mountain, Su Yu turned around and asked:

"You must be wondering now why I brought you all here to climb this mountain, right?"

The Styracodactyl and the Snow Children all nodded.

Su Yu smiled mysteriously and revealed:

"Actually... it's because I just bought this mountain."

"From now on, this mountain also belongs to our Suyu Ranch. I bought this mountain mainly to use it as your residence."

"Spine?!" You bought it?

Upon hearing this, the Styracosaurus was stunned for a moment, looking around in disbelief.

Does that mean that the entire mountain could be considered a home?

"Of course," Su Yu replied with a smile.

"However, although this place is your home, you will still have to share it with the other Pokémon on the ranch, since this is our ranch's land."
