Pokémon: Starting with a Pokémon Ranch.

Chapter 239 Continuous Rain, Leisurely Days

The rain outside was pouring down.

Inside the house, the television presenter was giving a weather forecast:

"This round of widespread rainfall will last for more than five days in the southern region of the league."

"Please be sure to take precautions against flooding."

Upon hearing this, Su Yu glanced out the window. The rain... was indeed excessively heavy.

But the weather this year has been strange. Perhaps it's because the three silly birds aren't guarding the Orange Islands anymore?

"I still have to brave the rain and go out to buy some things."

The water level in Moon Lake has risen sharply, so we have to release water.

Donning his raincoat, Su Yu was preparing to take the tropical dragon out when he saw Alcremie suddenly rush outside.

Braving the wind and rain, it ran towards the duck house. There, the ducks were anxiously surrounding a half-incubated egg.

Alcremie alone clearly couldn't bring all the ducks back. Seeing this, Su Yu called out to his goat mount:

"Let's just move the duck house over here using the grassy area."

Upon hearing this, the goat immediately complied. The grassy area was quite easy, and it easily lifted the duck shed and carried it inside.

As for the other Pokémon, Su Yu had already called them inside to take shelter from the rain. Only Spectralma was an exception; it was still leisurely strolling around outside, completely oblivious to its surroundings.

This little bit of rain won't have much of an impact on Him.

The duck shed, however, was conveniently overlooked under these circumstances.

Add more coal to the coal tortoise's shell to keep the flame burning brightly. This is the coal tortoise's energy source, and it also helps prevent the room from becoming too damp.

Afterwards, Su Yu called Tropius and Suicune together and went out to town.

When Su Yu arrived at the entrance of the mall, it was surrounded by a large crowd.

In the center of the crowd, several burly men were straining to move a kingfisher.

But Wang, who had asked for leave, remained lying on the ground, motionless, while the other burly men were exhausted.

"Hey, you idiot, move a muscle!"

Beside him, a rancher-like man pleaded.

"What's wrong?" Su Yu asked curiously as she squeezed through the crowd.

Seeing that Su Yu seemed to be a powerful trainer, the man explained:

"I'm sorry, my Pokémon was originally rented to another ranch to help with chores. But it was too lazy, so it was sent back."

"Right now, I'm trying to figure out a way to bring it back."

Upon hearing this, Su Yu showed a surprised expression.

Some poorly managed farms do rent out their Pokémon to mitigate losses. However, what about Slaking?

If this Pokémon is this lazy, how can it possibly help with chores?

"Um... before it was rented out, it was just an ape."

The other party thwarted Su Yu's idea of ​​being impolite.

"I see."

It wasn't a big deal. After releasing the tropical dragon, Su Yu easily moved Slaking away from the road. While being moved, Slaking remained lying down, not wanting to move at all.

After helping to load the goods onto a small truck, the other party thanked Su Yu. Then, they drove away in the rain.

"Catching this kind of Pokémon is truly a huge challenge for a trainer..."

After the other party left, Su Yu sighed.

Fortunately, his Pokémon are all hardworking and capable, so he doesn't have to worry about them much.

After entering the mall, he first bought some meat, and then replenished his daily necessities.

As we passed the electronics section, a sales assistant suddenly shouted:

"Sir, it seems you're out shopping?"

"Would you be interested in buying a telephone? It's been raining a lot these past few days, so it might be inconvenient to contact relatives and friends."

"If we had a telephone, none of this would be a problem. We wouldn't need to pay for phone service after buying it; we could just plug it into the modem."

Upon hearing this, Su Yu was considering refusing. After all, he already had a cell phone.

But thinking about it, telephones do have their advantages sometimes.

If you buy one of these, Alcremie can contact her mother anytime.

"it is good."

In the end, Su Yu still got one.

After leaving the mall, Su Yu ran into the owner of the electronics store. He offered to give him a ride home, and at that moment, the electronics store owner said:

"By the way, young man, do you have any Water-type Pokémon?"

"Seeing how good the quality of your fish is, I've recently started working on my own fishpond again. But for some reason, not a single fish I've raised has survived."

Is it that terrifying?

Hearing this, Su Yu was quite surprised. However, he had brought Suijun with him on this trip.

Although it didn't leave the ball at all, Suicune could still observe the outside world from inside. It was under these circumstances that it said it wanted to follow Su Yu closely and come out to observe human society.

Secret Observation - Suijun Version

"Yes, just take me there."

After using the power of Eternal Light to inquire with Suicune and receiving her consent, Su Yu spoke.

As Su Yu walked along, the electronics store owner arrived at a fish pond.

The water here looks fairly clear. After arriving here, Suicune took the initiative to release its ball and probe the water with its paw pads.

"The water is fine; it's not caused by pollution."

Since we were already here, Suijun took the opportunity to use his purification power to cleanse the pool water.

Upon hearing this, Su Yu also told the boss about the situation.

The boss scratched his head and said:

"That's strange. What could be the reason?"

"The way I'm raising it is correct, so this is strange..."

Su Yu was also surprised, since he had never encountered this situation when he was raising fish.

It wasn't a water problem, and there was nothing he could do about it. After saying goodbye to the boss, Su Yu rode the tropical dragon back to the ranch.

At that moment, Growlithe and Electric Dog were outside, chasing and playing in the rain.

The three bees gazed melancholically out the window on the second floor.

"Honey..."

Looking at the incessant rain, the three bees sighed. With rain this heavy, there was absolutely no way to collect nectar.

I wonder how many of those flowers will be ruined after the rain stops.

As the tropical dragon landed on the second-floor platform, Su Yu noticed this scene. Normally, these three-necked bees seemed tireless, constantly collecting honey in the pasture.

Unexpectedly, the rain and inability to collect honey caused them to become unaccustomed to it.

"Just consider it a few days off for myself, Honey."

"If you get a good rest, you'll be in better shape to collect honey later, right?"

Su Yu comforted him.

However, it seemed the effect was not good. The three bees merely nodded superficially, still appearing rather unhappy.

Seeing this, Su Yu pondered for a moment. There didn't seem to be many places left to collect honey now, right?

"Hmm... I've got it."

"It hasn't rained in the spirit world, but I wonder if those plants will be harmful to the three bees..."

Bringing three bees to the spirit world, the Farfetch'd duck is diligently tending to the scallions in the field.

"You can collect honey here. This spatial passage has been reinforced by the Spirit Horse, so it's practically permanent. You can come and go as you please."

As he spoke, Su Yu pointed to the crops in the field. At this time, many of the crops in the field had already blossomed.

Another day, he could plant some flowers here to make it easier for the three bees to collect nectar. He just wonders what will happen to those flowers after they've been corrupted by the energy here.
