Pokémon: Starting with a Pokémon Ranch.

Chapter 217 The Healing Power of Purification, Suicune Awakens

By this time, the canned yellow peaches were almost cooked. Frost Fairy ladled them out and served them to the Halberdra. Under the Halberdra's ice-type energy, the bowl of yellow peach soup quickly cooled down.

"Mama~?" Want to try some?

Hearing this, Su Yu nodded. Very well, this is also a token of the Pokémon's goodwill.

Just as Su Yu was about to reach out to take it, the Frost Fairy withdrew her hand. She scooped up some soup with a spoon and brought it to Su Yu's lips.

"Mama!"

—Let me feed you.

"Uh...isn't this a bad idea?"

Having grown up so much, Su Yu hadn't been fed in a long time, which made him somewhat resistant.

At this moment, the giant green duck had already circled behind him and secretly put a baby bib on his neck. Seeing this, Su Yu was taken aback.

"This is what I bought for you guys when I went to the supermarket earlier..."

Su Yu originally bought this because some Pokémon on the ranch couldn't eat properly, so he bought it to prevent them from getting dirty.

Unexpectedly, the scarf ended up being worn around his neck.

Under Soap Milk Fairy's insistence, Su Yu finally gave in. He opened his mouth and let Soap Milk Fairy put the soup in.

After being fed for a while, Su Yu finally finished the bowl of yellow peach soup, albeit with some difficulty.

"Mama~!" Now that you've finished eating, go to sleep.

At this moment, Alcremie patted him on the shoulder and urged him with a serious expression.

"Okay, okay..."

Su Yu reluctantly agreed and eventually returned to his room.

……

The next day.

After bringing breakfast to Su Yu, Yang Hao carried a bucket of energy cubes to the lakeside.

To his surprise, the bucket of energy cubes he had placed by the lake yesterday had not been eaten and remained intact.

"That's strange. Didn't Su Yu say yesterday that Pokémon would come and eat us?"

Yang Hao was puzzled, but Su Yu had just finished eating and was resting, so he didn't bother Su Yu with such a small matter.

After finishing his work at the ranch, he returned home.

And at that moment, it was just as Suicune was ending its slumber.

Stepping onto the shore from the water, Shui Jun looked at Yang Hao's departing figure with a puzzled expression.

"Strange, according to my perception, it wasn't Su Yu who delivered the energy cubes these past two days."

"Moreover, these energy cubes taste very different from the previous ones... They seem much cheaper now compared to before."

After taking a bite of the energy cube, Suicune thought to himself. After all, Su Yu's energy cubes were made from high-quality tree fruits grown on the ranch.

After many days of slumber, Suicune has now recovered some of its power. It is because of this that it has ended its slumber.

He can slowly recover the remaining power later.

Stepping outside the area of ​​Moon Lake, Suicune still couldn't find Su Yu. The creatures tending the crops in the fields had changed from Su Yu to some Pokémon.

"What happened? What happened to that trainer?"

As they walked, Suicune arrived at Su Yu's house. Just then, several of their riding sheep happened to pass by. They looked at the unfamiliar Pokémon that had suddenly appeared in the pasture and instantly became wary.

"What?" Who are you?

Although they sensed a natural affinity for this Pokémon, its sudden appearance on the ranch made it difficult to determine whether it was an enemy. Therefore, the riding sheep assumed a fighting stance.

This made Suicune realize something was amiss. These little lamb mounts... they seemed to be quite powerful?

He actually sensed a clear threat from these lambs.

"I'm Su Yu's friend. May I ask where Su Yu went?"

"I just took a nap on the ranch, and when I woke up I couldn't find him."

A gentle voice echoed in the mind of the little lamb, but this did not make the lamb lower its guard. It wasn't until Alcremie saw Suicune that it rushed over to explain.

"Mama~!" Don't do it!

Alcremie recognized Suicune because it saw Suicune at Lake Moon on the day Su Yu returned.

After Alcremie finished explaining, the little sheep on its mount also lowered its guard.

Suicune nodded gently, then looked at Alcremie and asked in confusion:

"Where did Su Yu go? Have you seen him?"

"Mama..." Su Yu was sick and was still resting in bed at this time.

Are you going to see him?

"Is he sick?" Suicune frowned. As Arceus's messenger, a being who wields the power of super counters, how could Su Yu possibly be sick?

He had heard that there were some very powerful germs in the world that could infect even humans with constitutions comparable to Gym Leader level Pokémon.

"Then please take me to see him."

"Perhaps I have a way to speed up his recovery."

Even when he was sick, Su Yu didn't forget to have someone send him energy cubes, which moved Suicune deeply.

This messenger of Arceus truly possessed a heart that was incredibly pure towards Pokémon.

Upon hearing that Suicune had a way to help, Alcremie eagerly led the way.

It led Suicune inside, and along the way, Suicune curiously observed the structure of the house.

Most of the furnishings and decorations in this house exude a low-key modern feel.

"Is this the architectural skill of modern humans? It's certainly a lot more advanced than when the three Holy Beasts were still in Enju City."

Not long after they left, Frost Fairy used a chair as a stepping stone to open the door. Inside, she saw Su Yu.

Su Yu was still asleep at this time. Shui Jun walked to the bedside, examined him for a moment, then turned around and said softly:

"It's just a common cold and fever. My purification ability is just right to cure this illness."

"Even after being purified, he will need to rest for a while. His body has become too weak due to the illness and needs to recover slowly."

Upon hearing this, Alcremie nodded.

It left the room and closed the door. At that moment, the Water Spirit inside also used its purifying power on Su Yu.

After the purification was complete, Suicune also left the room and nodded to Alcremie:

"He's all better now. Just let him rest."

Meanwhile, a host of Pokémon who had heard the news rushed over. They looked at Suicune with curiosity; was this the legendary Pokémon Su Yu had mentioned in his previous story?

Suicune nodded slightly to the Pokémon. Looking outside, it noticed that while Pokémon were now tending to the farmland, the watering seemed to be going poorly.

"Let me help you water the crops."

Suicune said gently, just as the Pokédex says, that it has a heart as gentle as spring water.

Upon hearing this, the surrounding Pokémon cheered. This made Suicune realize that they were also a very simple and honest group of Pokémon.

"Perhaps, waiting for Lord Ho-Oh and the others to arrive on this ranch... is indeed a good choice?"

Suijun thought to himself. It seemed that this ranch was indeed a very suitable place to stay for a long time.

Helping to manage a ranch might also be one of His pleasures during this time.
