Pokémon: Starting with a Pokémon Ranch.

Chapter 221 The Strange Movements of Ghost-Type Pokémon and Preparatory Measures

The next day, Su Yu Ranch.

After handing the goat's milk to the messenger bird, Su Yu gave it special instructions:

"This bottle of goat milk is specially for the mother of Alcremie; it's a high-concentration version."

"I specifically put it in another shoulder bag, so please remember not to take the wrong one."

"Bee-ee~!" Upon hearing this, the messenger bird nodded. Then, humming a song, it went out to deliver the goat's milk.

Just then, Yang Hao suddenly arrived at the ranch. As soon as he arrived, he leaned closer and said:

"Have you heard? Recently, a lot of Ghost-type Pokémon have appeared all over the Eastern Empire. It's said that these Pokémon come from the legendary Spirit Realm."

"Huh? Really?" Yang Hao's words reminded Su Yu of the Gengar he had seen yesterday. It seemed that what he saw back then really wasn't an illusion.

"Of course it's true. My father saw it with his own eyes in these pictures."

"Furthermore, it's said that these Ghost-type Pokémon seem to be acting on their owners' orders, venturing out to capture powerful Pokémon for sacrifice. Currently, many Pokémon have been reported missing."

……Owner?

"Could it be a legendary Pokémon?"

Aside from legendary Pokémon, Su Yu couldn't think of any other Pokémon that could have such a powerful appeal. After all, this was an event affecting the entire Eastern Empire.

And the legendary Pokémon associated with the Ghost type... is it Giratina or Marshadow?

Marshadow is unlikely to go that far; after all, he followed Ho-Oh and wouldn't be that ruthless. Giratina is even less likely; with Giratina's brutal nature, he would only act personally, not summon his subordinates.

Besides these, only the Raikou King's mount, the Spirit Horse, and the Super Demon God Hoopa are possible candidates.

"Would Hoopa pull such a prank?" Su Yu asked doubtfully.

Hmm... it's really hard to say.

Seeing that Su Yu was deep in thought, Yang Hao reminded him:

"I remember your ranch has quite a few powerful Pokémon. So be careful these next few days, and make sure you don't get captured."

Hearing this, Su Yu felt a surge of emotion. So you came all this way just to remind me of this.

They really are good brothers.

After seeing Yang Hao off, Su Yu returned to the house and was preparing to make the energy cubes for today's meal.

However, at that moment, the leek duck rushed in.

"What's wrong?" Su Yu asked, puzzled.

At this moment, the green onion duck also took out the green onion from its back.

Normally, it would put its green onions on the balcony to sunbathe at this time. But just now, some unknown Pokémon suddenly ate a bite of its green onions.

"Your green onions... have run into trouble again?" Su Yu sighed helplessly. How many times has this happened? Before, they were just withered and yellow; this time, they were eaten.

I glanced at the teeth marks on the scallion; there was still a trace of the spirit world on it.

This also suggests that the previous yellowing of the scallions was caused by Pokémon in the spirit world.

"Could it be... that Ghost-type Pokémon also like to eat green onions with their meals?"

Infuse the green onion with the power of Eternal Life, and before long, the green onion will grow back to its original state.

After handing it to the green onion duck, Su Yu instructed:

"Things haven't been peaceful on the ranch lately. If you don't have anything urgent to do, you'd better keep some green onions with you."

"Anyway, you can sunbathe anytime. It won't cause any problems if you don't sunbathe for a few days."

"Quack~!" Upon hearing this, the farfalle duck nodded.

With a green onion on its back and its beloved fishing rod, it went to the lake to fish.

Meanwhile, Su Yu went to Suicune to ask if it had any familiar Ghost-type legendary Pokémon.

"Ghost type?" Suicune shook her head.

"I only know Marshadow. Besides that, after falling into the spirit world, I accidentally entered the Reverse World and was hunted down by Giratina."

"It was because of Giratina that I lost most of my power."

At this point, Suicune sighed. As one of the three legendary beasts, they weren't actually that prestigious among the divine beasts. At most, they were just a bit mysterious to humans.

To be honest, they can only be considered as employees under Ho-Oh.

"Then do you think... it's possible that they did this?" Su Yu asked.

Upon hearing this, Suicune shook its head. Although it didn't know much about Giratina, the Distortion World was still a long way from its full arrival.

That's only possible if Giratina followed Him into the spirit world while they were chasing Him. But in that case, He would only get beaten even worse by Giratina.

"I understand now..." Su Yu nodded. Then, he asked:

"If the divine beasts from the spirit world were to truly descend, would you be able to put up a fight?"

"Right now, I'm probably only comparable to a gym leader among you humans..." Suicune gently shook her head. It wasn't that she didn't want to help, but that she was truly powerless to do so.

Seeing this, Su Yu sighed. It seemed that if he wanted to protect the ranch, he would have to rely on himself.

The impact of the Spirit Realm turmoil is gradually expanding. Faced with legendary Pokémon, the Eastern League has no effective solutions. Therefore, Su Yu can only strengthen himself.

After leaving Moon Lake, he first went to find Arcanine and checked on its recent training progress.

"Hmm... your progress in mastering the Moltres's fire seems pretty good. You've definitely been practicing diligently during this time."

"However, it seems that the most crucial step is still missing. This may be what Sister Yang Wen was talking about: combining the 'heart of justice' with the sacred flame."

Seeing the raging flames burning on Arcanine's body, Su Yu nodded.

"Keep up the good work. Things haven't been peaceful on the ranch lately, and I need you all to get stronger quickly."

"Awoo~!"

Upon hearing this, Arcanine let out a long howl, clearly enjoying the move.

[Su Yu's Attack Power +1]

After seeing the Growlithe, Su Yu went to find his mount, the sheep, and gave them a check-up.

"Your internal energy is abundant, and your overall mental state is excellent. It seems you're about to evolve."

"Having been here on the ranch for so long, it's certainly time. Congratulations in advance!"

"Meow~!"

Upon hearing this, the little sheep mounts weren't keen on evolving. They felt that they wouldn't be as cute as they were now after evolving.

Su Yu smiled and patted their heads:

"It's alright, we still have the degenerate honey cakes I made. Even if you really evolve, I'll make you honey cakes every day so you can stay in your current form."

The lambs, upon hearing this, quieted down. If that were the case, they didn't seem so resistant to evolution anymore.

They immediately resumed eating the grass cakes Su Yu had brought. To successfully evolve, they needed to accumulate more energy.
