Pokémon: Starting with a Pokémon Ranch.

Chapter 246 Trip to Dragon Island

After Dragonite led Su Yu into the interior of Dragon Island, several Dragonite soon took off from the land and flew over.

Su Yu: "Are these dragons here to pick you up?"

Dragonite shook its head. For the Dragonite family, every Pokémon entering Dragon Island needed to be inspected. Those dragons were just the guards on duty.

As expected, the guard Dragonite looked serious, seemingly already prepared for battle. Upon seeing the Dragonite beside Su Yu, they were initially delighted.

But upon seeing Su Yu, their expressions immediately turned to one of alarm, changing rapidly.

"Pop—" Human?

Moreover, they even took a Dragonite hostage?

The Dragonite immediately became alert. They seemed ready to drive them away immediately. Seeing this, Su Yu's goofy Dragonite quickly flew up and blocked the Dragonite that were about to fight.

"Pop~!" Don't fight yet. Su Yu is a good person. I'm the one who brought him in.

Dragonite guard: "?"

Good heavens, so this was brought in by an inside man?

Seeing that the Dragonite guards still looked distrustful, Dragonite explained for a long time, using both words and gestures. Finally, it took a lot of effort to convince the guards.

"Pop~" Seriously, Su Yu is such a good person. He even helped me heal my injuries!

As he spoke, the goofy Dragonite showed off the injuries on its back, where some scars remained.

Seeing this, the guards were about 80% convinced. They allowed Su Yu and the tropical dragon to land on Dragon Island, leaving a few dragons to guard it, while the rest went to report to their chieftain.

Taking advantage of this brief moment, Su Yu took out a Poké Ball and released the few Pokémon he carried with him. This was to avoid a direct confrontation when the clan leader arrived later.

The Dragonite clan here seems to genuinely distrust humans. But that's understandable; after all, they are a pseudo-legendary race, and their very existence is a huge temptation.

However, Su Yu also laid out all his cards, directly showing them to the naked.

—I'm not an ordinary person either. I have three Elite Four level Pokémon under my command. When they work together, they can even take on a legendary Pokémon like Spectralma.

You guys decide what to do.

"Meow~"

As if sensing Su Yu's thoughts, the mountain goats rubbed their heads against him, seemingly indicating that with them around, there was nothing to worry about.

When the Dragonite patriarch arrived, he was followed by hundreds of Dragonites from the entire Dragon Island.

Besides these, there are other Pokémon. Some of them were rescued from the water by Dragonite and have lived on Dragon Island ever since. Others are native to Dragon Island.

Without exception, they all looked at Su Yu warily, their eyes filled with distrust.

After the Dragonite patriarch arrived, he called over Su Yu's goofy Dragonite and asked it many questions.

After asking for a while, the Dragonite Chieftain looked at Su Yu, and his eyes were no longer as cold as before.

It nodded to Su Yu and said:

"Pop".

I have a general understanding of the situation. Thank you for your help to my injured tribesmen these past few days.

As for Pokémon like Sharpedo and Tentacruel, protecting the weak is our responsibility. We will also do our part to help drive away these environmentally damaging Pokémon.

Upon hearing this, the other Pokémon around were taken aback. What's going on? When they called us to gather at the village entrance, didn't they say there was a high probability of a fight?

After all that fuss, it turns out the other person was a good person?

Su Yu nodded in agreement.

"I'll inform Miss Officer Jenny and the others when I get back. I imagine they're also working on this, so you can cooperate with each other."

"Now that you know about this, I'm preparing to leave..."

Su Yu knew that the Dragonite patriarch didn't completely trust him; a sliver of wariness remained in its heart. Therefore, its thanks at this moment were mostly superficial.

Therefore, Su Yu prepared to leave on his own initiative.

However, at this moment, the silly Dragonite grabbed Su Yu's hand and happily urged him to stay:

"Pop!" This is a rare opportunity, don't leave so early.

Let me show you around Dragon Island!

"..."

What a great assist, Dragons!

Upon hearing this, Su Yu deliberately feigned a troubled expression and looked at the Dragonite clan leader. Seeing that the other party didn't react, Su Yu said helplessly:

"Um... okay."

Dragonite Chieftain: ...

Since the die is cast, there's no point in trying to stop it. The other person initially seemed genuinely interested in leaving; they weren't faking it. Therefore, it seems they must be a truly good person.

Therefore, the Dragonite chieftain flew away from here with a few followers.

After the clan leader left, several adult Dragonite followed suit and departed one after another. Those that remained were mostly ordinary wild Pokémon.

Unlike the Dragonite, they weren't extremely wary of humans. Upon seeing Su Yu, they curiously approached him.

Su Yu took out some energy cubes from his backpack and distributed them to the creatures. After that, he was dragged away by the fast dragons in a huff.

……

The entire Dragon Island still looks quite enormous.

The island is teeming with Dragon-type Pokémon.

Although they are not Dragonite, they can reproduce with each other. Therefore, most of these Pokémon have Dragonite blood, and they seem to have quite good potential.

In fact, the breeding principle of Pokémon is to determine the species of offspring based on the mother's Pokémon. In other words, the mothers of these non-Dragonite Dragon-type Pokémon probably suffered quite a bit.

On Dragon Island, Pokémon are mostly distributed in groups. The stronger the Pokémon group, the more central the location it resides in.

Back on Dragon Island, Dragonite first took Su Yu to meet several Pokémon it was on good terms with. Then, they visited each Pokémon species one by one.

Sceptile, Arbok, Seadra, and Charizard are all Pokémon with Dragon-type Eggs.

Among them, Su Yu also saw Magikarp with dragon-type bloodlines. These Magikarp appeared to be extremely powerful, far surpassing the Magikarp found outside.

According to Dragonite, the probability of a Magikarp evolving into Gyarados is relatively high, almost the same as the probability of a normal Pokémon evolving.

"Perhaps this is the original form of the Magikarp?"

The subsequent low evolution rate and the powerful reproductive ability of the species may be due to the dilution of the dragon bloodline, which led to that result?

After that, Dragonite took Su Yu back to its clan.

Here, many of the Dragonite we've seen before are present, their habitats spread around a lake.

In the core lake, Su Yu could vaguely see Pokémon such as Dragonair and Dratini.

These juvenile quasi-gods are still relatively fragile; they will only possess great power after reaching adulthood. Therefore, they are protected in the core area.

Upon seeing Su Yu arrive, the cubs all looked at him curiously. These cubs didn't seem to have been instilled with the concept that "humans are dangerous," and their eyes radiated innocence.

One of the Hakuryu had a keen sense of smell and detected the scent of the energy cubes in Su Yu's backpack. It flew behind Su Yu and curiously peered inside.

"Want some?" Su Yu asked.

"Fu~" Hakron nodded.

Seeing this, Su Yu unzipped his jacket. Seeing that the surrounding Dragonite didn't react, he took out an Energy Cube and handed it to them.

As soon as it was taken out, the aroma of the energy cube spread around, which the dragon cubs in the lake could smell even more clearly.

They all flew out of the lake and circled around Su Yu. Even the Dragonite that were resting were looked over.
