Pokémon: Starting with a Pokémon Ranch.

Chapter 248 The Fragment of Rayquaza, New Farm Pokémon

At this moment, Su Yu had clearly passed the Dragonite clan leader's trust test.

As the clan leader, it couldn't easily trust others like the other clan members. However, Su Yu proved himself through his actions.

Moreover, the other party had planted a large area of ​​berry trees on the island, which were clearly intended for the island's Pokémon to eat. Given such a significant favor, the Dragonite clan could no longer harbor suspicion towards their friend.

As darkness fell, Su Yu was about to start a fire to cook. The Dragonite clan leader called the goofy Dragonite aside and asked Su Yu if there was anything he wanted.

Facing the clan leader, the simple-minded Dragonite naturally told him everything.

"Dragon scales containing dragon-attribute energy...?"

It's not that there aren't any within the clan, but most of them are reserved for the Black Seahorse clan to facilitate their evolution.

Those were just ordinary dragon scales, but Su Yu planted fruit trees all over the valley. With these, many Dragonite no longer needed to go out fishing every day, obviously saving them a lot of trouble.

Using this to repay favors... seems completely insufficient.

Suddenly, the Dragonite patriarch seemed to have thought of something. If it was that thing, it should be more than enough.

……

The next morning.

Because it took most of the day to get here from the ranch, Su Yu stayed on Dragon Island yesterday.

That day, he was thinking about how to bring up the matter of the scales with the clan chief. Yesterday, the clan chief seemed to distrust him, so he needed to think of a way first.

Just then, a Dragonite messenger suddenly flew over and told Chief Su Yu to look for him.

"What do you want from me?"

Su Yu was puzzled. He followed the messenger to the place where the clan leader was.

After Su Yu arrived, the clan chief remained silent, only gesturing for Su Yu to follow.

Following the clan leader and riding a tropical dragon, Su Yu arrived at a mountain peak.

At the top of this mountain, there is no vegetation; it is a bald mountain, and a strong wind occasionally blows from the summit.

The chieftain gestured for Su Yu to step forward, and upon seeing this, Su Yu leaped off the tropical dragon's back.

As he walked forward, he saw the source of the strong wind.

It was a green organization radiating an intimidating aura.

Seeing this, Su Yu curiously stepped forward and touched it, and the system immediately responded.

"The Broken Horn Fragment of Rayquaza"

"Originating from a fragment of tissue that fell to the ground during a battle between Rayquaza and a legendary Pokémon. It has remained unchanged despite being burned by atmospheric friction and contains a large amount of Dragon and Flying type energy."

Su Yu: ?

Holy crap, fragments of Rayquaza's mount!

What kind of Pokémon could shatter Rayquaza's horn? Deoxys, Hoopa, or Eterna?

At this moment, the clan leader patted Su Yu on the shoulder, signaling him to pick up the fragment.

"For me?"

Seeing the clan leader's reaction, Su Yu guessed.

After all, this is a fragment of a divine beast. Even if the clan leader doesn't know about Lie Kongzuo, he must be aware of the extraordinary nature of this fragment.

Even so, it still brought Su Yu, an outsider, to see it, and its purpose was quite obvious.

The clan chief nodded, indicating that this was to express his gratitude to the fruit tree.

"These few fruit trees aren't worth this small piece of debris..."

Su Yu thought to herself.

However, this opportunity might not come again. Su Yu calmly accepted the fragment; if its value wasn't enough, he could always make up the difference next time.

The clan chief was willing to give it away perhaps because he didn't know how to use the fragment.

After receiving the fragments, Su Yu was overjoyed. Now, the caterpillar's meal was secured.

He immediately bid farewell to the Dragonite clan and said that he would definitely bring more Power Cubes next time.

Then, you will ride the tropical dragon back to the ranch.

……

……

on the way home.

The Pokémon from Hoenn are still causing trouble, but the clan leader says that the Dragonite will be out today.

In addition, Officer Jenny and some trainers from the Eastern Empire also began to clean up the Pokémon on the sea.

Su Yu also picked up some Pokémon along the way, but unfortunately he didn't bring any anonymous Poké Balls with him when he came out, so he couldn't catch these evil Pokémon back.

As Su Yu was about to return to the ranch, he encountered the same Slowpoke Island again. Clearly, the Slowpokes on the island were in trouble once more.

One of the Slowpokes was enormous and appeared to be the leader of the pack. It used various Psychic-type moves to try its best to drive away the Tentacruels that had come ashore.

—He understands attribute counters.

Although this method was effective, there were simply too many Tentacruels, and one Slowpoke was of no use at all.

"Tropical dragons, let's help them."

Seeing this, Su Yu also spoke up.

Upon hearing this, the tropical dragon immediately unleashed a storm of leaves. The stinging jellyfish, recognizing the very creature that had blocked their path yesterday, angrily departed.

Unlike last time, Su Yu didn't leave after helping out. Previously, he had been in a hurry to get to Dragon Island.

When the Slowpokes on the ground saw their benefactor intervene again, they all knelt down at their leader's command.

Seeing this, Su Yu didn't know whether to laugh or cry:

"Get up, get up, why are you worshipping me?"

This leader was quite interesting; he acted as if a deity had appeared before him, bowing down in worship.

After the tropical dragon landed, Su Yu went forward to observe it. Most of these Slowpokes had incredibly "wise" eyes, which were quite dull. Only the leader's eyes were more lively.

"What a promising talent for [Dumb King]! It would be a shame not to take him with us."

Seeing this, Su Yu also considered subduing them. This group was currently at sea, and their sweet tails had become bait to attract the surrounding bullies. After he left, they would probably come back to harass him again.

If I take it with me, there's a fishpond lookout needed at Moon Lake, and Slowpoke would be perfect. With its own protection, it can also avoid harassment from the surrounding bullies.

Immediately, Su Yu expressed his thoughts to the Slowpoke leader. Upon hearing this, the Slowpoke leader was about to kneel down again.

"Hey, no, no, just tell me if you're willing or not."

Su Yu didn't know what this dazed beast meant. Could it have studied ancient etiquette?

Upon hearing this, the Slowpoke leader nodded hesitantly, then said in a cheerful tone:

"Yay!" We naturally accepted the invitation from the divine messenger.

It was as if the Slowpoke's expression wouldn't change regardless of the tone of voice. It was just... "intelligent".

However, Su Yu felt somewhat puzzled by Slowpoke's words. A divine messenger… could it be referring to Suicune?

Do you recognize it?

Su Yu asked using the power of Eternal Rock.

Suicune immediately denied it from the Poké Ball. Not only had it never seen it, it rarely even went near the sea, as that was Lugia's territory.

"That's probably because of Dragonite."

Dragonite is known as the embodiment of the sea, while Lugia is known as the sea god. Su Yu doesn't believe there's no connection between the two.

However, Lugia hasn't arrived yet, so there's no point in thinking about it too much. Su Yu told Slowpoke and the others, along with his mount Goat, to wait on the island for a while.

He himself rode the Tropius back to retrieve some Poké Balls so he could bring good luck to the Slowpokes.
