Pokémon: Starting with a Pokémon Ranch.

Chapter 244 A Swarm of Megalodons at Sea, Rescue

Thanks to this test, Su Yu Ranch's reputation has spread to several surrounding towns.

When people mention Su Yu Ranch, they think of those woolly horned sheep that are far stronger than their peers. It's surprising that these ordinary woolly horned sheep can grow to this level.

Besides that, there's the Farfetch'd that loves fishing, and that... Stellera dinosaur that seems to be more polite than a human.

During the testing process, many people impressed several Ghost-type Pokémon with their outstanding performance. After confirming each other's identities, they took the Pokémon with them.

Some people, even after passing the test, still don't have any Pokémon willing to go with them. There's nothing that can be done about it; it's just that their time hasn't come yet.

After two days of battle testing, these Ghost-type Pokémon have all found their homes. The Su Yu Ranch has returned to peace once more.

"It's installed! The TV I promised you!"

Su Yu selected several rooms on the second floor and renovated them, turning them into TV rooms.

In this way, the woolly sheep can watch their own favorite shows without having to queue up and wait for their turn to control the remote.

The woolly sheep were delighted. They immediately went into their respective TV rooms and watched their favorite programs.

Su Yu didn't forget the other Pokémon either, installing two TVs for each of them as well. This brought the house to a total of seven TVs, not even including the small TV in Dedric's own little house.

"They're really putting on more and more stuff..."

Su Yu shook his head helplessly, but the TV didn't cost much, and it was enough to make the Pokémon on the ranch happy.

With some juice, milk, and food, Su Yu went to the Sky Tree and delivered the food to the Dragonite living there.

After a few days of rest, Dragonite's injuries have improved significantly, and it is now able to fly normally.

It seems that in a few more days, it will be able to carry Su Yu through the storms surrounding Dragon Island to find the dragon scales that Su Yu needs.

Leaving the Sky Tree, Su Yu was preparing to visit Moon Lake. Just then, a buzzing bat suddenly flew over abruptly, pleading for help.

"SOS?"

"You said your trainer encountered a crisis at sea?"

……

The story begins half an hour ago.

The trainer of the Buzzbat was an avid sea angler. One day, on a whim, he rented a boat and prepared to go out to sea to give it a try.

However, this attempt nearly cost him his life. After setting sail, he encountered a school of megalodon sharks, an exceptionally large group with a large number of them.

The ferocious megalodons gathered around the trainer's boat after spotting it. They kept ramming the hull with their bodies, trying to capsize it.

Fortunately, the trainer wasn't a novice; he released his Pokémon to prevent the ship from capsizing as much as possible. At the same time, he sent the only flying Pokémon in the group, Nombrill, to search for reinforcements in the surrounding area.

"Now that you mention it, things are not going to be good..."

Su Yu had no idea how long the opponent could hold out. He quickly used the power of Viridian to remotely summon Tropius and Suicune, a new technique Su Yu had recently figured out that allowed him to chat remotely.

With the two of them on board, Su Yu rode the Tropius with the Nombat and set off immediately. At that moment, the Dragonite flapped its wings and followed closely behind.

"Are you already capable of long-distance, normal flight?"

Seeing this, Su Yu asked curiously.

"Pop!"

Dragonite then spun 360 degrees in the air to demonstrate its recovery. It also indicated that it wanted to go and rescue the people.

"Sure." Su Yu did not refuse. He already knew that the Dragonite clan was helpful and liked to rescue people and Pokémon in distress at sea.

And adult pseudo-legendary dragons are at least professional level, so Dragonite's strength won't hold them back.

"Buzzing Bat, could you give me a general direction?"

Looking at the little Pokémon in his arms, Su Yu asked. Using ultrasonic waves, the Noboo wouldn't get lost and immediately pointed out the direction.

……

Meanwhile, on the sea...

"Damn it, where did these Megalodons come from? I don't remember having any of these Pokémon in this area!"

With his Pokémon entourage desperately defending the small boat, Guo Rui sensed that the boat was about to collapse.

The megalodon sharks kept gnawing at the hull, tearing off pieces of sheet metal or leaving marks with each bite. They were trying to deprive Guo Rui of the ship's support and force him to fall into the water.

Once Guo Rui falls into the water, he will be at the mercy of others.

That would be fine if it were just that. But these megalodon sharks' attacks went far beyond that. Some of them even kept trying to leap out of the water, attempting to break through the defenses from above.

"Eevee, Psychic!"

Fortunately, Guo Rui had a Psychic-type Pokémon by his side, which allowed him to observe his surroundings from all angles. Upon receiving the command, Espeon immediately launched a psychic attack, shooting down several Sharpedoes that had jumped out of the water.

"Reinforcements...are they really in time?"

Looking in the direction the buzzing bat had gone, Guo Rui showed a hint of worry. Although he had made two preparations—informing Officer Jenny while sending the buzzing bat out to seek help—he was still worried.

But this is at sea, and almost no one can get here so quickly.

Just as Guo Rui was sighing, a black dot suddenly flew in from the horizon.

The black dot grew larger and larger, and when it got close enough to be seen clearly, a look of joy appeared on Guo Rui's face.

"Eevee, it's reinforcements! Our reinforcements have arrived!"

"Great, we're saved!"

Su Yu, perched on the back of the tropical dragon, also saw the scene below.

In the ocean, dozens of megalodon sharks gathered in a dark mass, relentlessly attacking Guo Rui's boat.

The fact that it could last so long is largely thanks to the trainer's considerable skill.

"Tropical Dragon, Leaf Storm!"

They sent the tropical dragons, which had the advantage in type, to fight, while Su Yu switched to Suicune's back and slowly descended to the surface. Thanks to Suicune's power, they did not sink.

This was Su Yu's first time riding Suicune. He curiously touched Suicune's skin, which had a very smooth texture.

Suijun: ...

Well, he is Arceus's messenger after all, so let him touch it. It's not because we have a good relationship.

After unleashing Leaf Storm, the sharks immediately realized that something was wrong. A Tropius of Gym Level would be a dominant force in the wild.

Many of the megalodons turned and ran, and the tropical dragon gave chase.

Tropius's strategy for dealing with Pokémon that attack humans is to kill as many as possible.

After seeing that the Megalodon had been driven away, Guo Rui had Espeon use its psychic powers to help him fly and float to Su Yu's side.

"Thanks for saving me, boss."

Guo Rui cupped his hands in greeting and said something in return.

His face still carried a hint of joy at surviving a disaster.
