Pokémon: Starting with a Pokémon Ranch.

Chapter 216 Su Yu Falls Ill

"Mama..."

After Arcanine left, all the other Pokémon who had heard the news gathered around.

Seeing this, Su Yu coughed and said:

"There's no need for everyone to come. It's just a minor illness; I'll be fine soon."

As he spoke, Su Yu hurriedly urged them all to go outside. Otherwise, he would infect them with his cold again.

Upon hearing this, the Pokémon reluctantly left the bedroom. Although they knew that Su Yu was doing this for their own good.

In the living room, they gathered together and discussed what they could do for Su Yu.

At this point, Wang suggested:

"Woof woof!"

How about... we take care of this ranch for Su Yu while he's sick?

Seeing Su Yu busy every day, they knew how hard he worked. Now that Su Yu had suddenly fallen ill, they didn't want all his hard work to go to waste.

The crops in the fields need to be maintained and tended, and milking the goats needs to be done daily. In addition, we need to collect the crab claws that have fallen from the hairy crabs, scoop the fish from the fishpond and deliver them to the restaurant, and remember to feed the fish…

"Woof..."

It seems that Su Yu has a lot to do every day!

Upon hearing this, the Cream Fairy nodded and said:

"Mama."

That makes sense. Even though Su Yu is sick, we still need to help her.

When Su Yu recovers, he should be very happy to see a ranch that hasn't changed much from the original one.

Unfortunately, Squirtle and his friends weren't there at the time. If Squirtle had been there, many things would have been much easier to handle...

"Hmm~" Let's discuss how to divide the work first.

The little sheep suggested.

The Pokémon all nodded in agreement and gathered in a circle to discuss it.

……

When Yang Hao arrived at the ranch.

Su Yu also asked him to help look after the ranch and feed the Pokémon.

"I'm running low on energy blocks in the ranch, and I haven't had time to craft them yet. So, I might have to borrow some from you."

"Also, remember to bring a bucket of Energy Cubes, which Water-type Pokémon like, to Lake Moon every day. Just leave those Energy Cubes by the lake, and Pokémon will come to eat them."

Upon hearing this, Yang Hao nodded and said:

"Okay, leave all of this to me. You can just relax and rest here."

"By the way, do you want me to bring you some food from home? Judging from your condition, you probably can't cook."

Su Yu: "Ahem... then I'll leave it to you."

Yang Hao left the room and closed the door. Just then, he saw the Pokémon busily working.

It seems the division of labor was agreed upon beforehand: the farmland was handled by the little sheep and the flying mantis, while the fishpond was given to the tropical dragon and the porter.

They each have their own tasks, and they appear to be in a well-organized manner.

"It seems I don't need to do much?" Yang Hao muttered to himself upon seeing this. He didn't know that the Pokémon had spontaneously organized themselves to do this; he simply assumed that Su Yu had instructed them in advance.

Following Su Yu's instructions, he first carried a bucket of energy cubes to the shore of Moon Lake.

Here, a porter is riding on the back of a tropical dragon, casting out a fishing net.

This was the first time Yang Hao had ever seen such a rough fishing method, especially since Pokémon were in charge of fishing.

The young porter seemed a bit clumsy at first glance. It appeared he'd been chosen for fishing because of his strength. Even so, Yang Hao watched with great interest.

After placing the Power Cube, Yang Hao took another route back to Su Yu's house. This route happened to pass through farmland, where a group of Pokémon, led by their mount, a sheep, were tending to the crops.

When it comes to crops that need to be harvested, the mantis will take over and use its built-in sickle to cut them down.

"So it seems Su Yu has a pretty easy time being a rancher?"

Yang Hao asked, puzzled.

Su Yu could manage a ranch without having to do any work himself, as the Pokémon would do all the work.

Yang Hao was quite envious of this business model. It was just a pity that he didn't have Su Yu's good Pokémon luck, nor did he encounter such capable Pokémon.

After returning to his own ranch and bringing back a bucket of porridge and some side dishes, Yang Hao watched Su Yu eat the food by himself. Finally, he also returned to his own ranch.

……

……

After dinner, Su Yu lay down on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.

He slept very comfortably.

Perhaps because he had asked the Pokémon not to come in beforehand, Alcremie and the others didn't come to disturb him. After waking up, Su Yu picked up his phone from the bedside table and checked the time.

"It's only nine o'clock?"

For some reason, even though he hadn't slept for long, Su Yu felt as if he had been in another world.

I put on my clothes and went outside for a look. At that time, the woolly sheep were still watching TV in the living room.

However, in order not to disturb Su Yu, they had turned the TV down to almost the lowest setting. To make it easier to hear the sound, the entire sheep had gathered in front of the TV, getting very close to the screen.

"What?"

Seeing Su Yu wake up, they tilted their heads in confusion and looked at him. Was the rancher feeling better?

"I feel much better, thank you for turning the volume down," Su Yu said with a smile.

Just then, Growlithe ran in from outside, carrying a bone-shaped toy in its mouth, and seemed to be playfully fighting with Rumble Dog.

Upon seeing Su Yu, the Gyrocopter nudged him with its head and barked:

"Awoo~!"

Why did you run out? You should be going back to rest right now!

Seeing that even the Growlithe was so concerned, Su Yu smiled with relief. The little dog he'd been raising had finally grown up and learned to care for people.

He shook his head and said:

"I've had enough rest, and it's not good to stay cooped up in the room all the time, so I came out for some fresh air."

"Awoo..." Okay.

Since Su Yu wanted to go for a walk, Arcanine followed closely behind him, afraid that he might faint at any moment.

"It's not that exaggerated..." Su Yu said, both amused and exasperated.

As he walked, he suddenly smelled the fragrance of peaches in the air. He followed the scent to the kitchen, where Alcremie, Sweet Bamboo, and Babyfly were busy with something.

"What are you doing here?" Su Yu asked in confusion as soon as he entered the kitchen.

Alcremie was still directing Farfetch'd to pour sugar into the pot. Hearing Su Yu's voice, it jumped in surprise.

Whatever, it jumped down from the kitchen and came to Su Yu, urging him to go and rest.

"I've had enough sleep, please let me out to catch my breath..." Su Yu said helplessly.

The Fairy of Creamy Milk then stopped trying to persuade her.

Su Yu walked up to the pot and saw that it was indeed making canned yellow peaches.

"You guys saw what I did, so you wanted to recreate it?"

Su Yu looked at the other Pokémon and asked.

To be honest, it was probably Sweetie who was in the kitchen watching him make the whole peach preserve process. No wonder these Pokémon wanted to be re-released.

Furthermore, because Pokémon like Alcremie are afraid of fire, they specifically asked Farfetch'd to help with the cooking. Seeing this, Su Yu was both amused and exasperated.

You Pokémon chefs are all incredibly powerful!
