Pokémon: Starting with a Pokémon Ranch.

Chapter 249 Settling Slowpoke, the arrival of Dragonite and the crowd of onlookers

Back at the ranch, I retrieved the Poké Ball.

Su Yu collected all the Slowpokes on the island into a ball and brought it back to the ranch.

After that, Su Yu sent Tropius back to the sea to help the weak Pokémon that were being harassed by the alien Pokémon.

Suijun, relying on his ability to walk on water, also wanted to go and help.

"Then you two should travel together. Be careful on the road."

Su Yu gave instructions.

With two Gym Leader level Pokémon together, there shouldn't be any wild Pokémon that can pose a threat.

Then, he took the Poké Ball to the shore of Lake Moon and released the Slowpokes.

Most of these Slowpokes had blank stares and very limited intelligence. They looked around aimlessly, not knowing where they had been taken.

Some of them, acting on instinct, noticed that the environment here seemed much better than where they had lived before. They crawled to the water's edge, put their tails in the water, and immediately began fishing.

Compared to them, the Slowpoke leader's eyes were much more lively. It looked at Su Yu, its expression blank, and asked:

"Yay~?" Is this our home from now on?

"That's right." Su Yu nodded.

He looked at the Slowpokes. Actually, he planned to hand over the affairs of the fish pond to the Slowpokes.

However, judging from their current appearance, they don't seem to be very intelligent, so Su Yu is really worried.

It seems we can only wait until some of them evolve into Slowbro to see if their intelligence will improve.

"I will continue to entrust your tribe to your management."

Su Yu had high hopes for this leader. He planned to prepare some [Power Carp] to supplement the Slowpoke's nutrition.

Just then, Farfetch'd arrived at Moon Lake carrying a fishing rod. It paused for a moment, surprised to see so many Slowpokes fishing there.

"Huh?!"

Have there been so many anglers here in just one day?

……

News of the arrival of the Slowpoke family quickly spread throughout the ranch.

"Fuyiyi~?" It turns out to be another new ethnic group?

Upon receiving the news, the chief of the Butterfly tribe was the first to come and pay a visit. In his view, maintaining good relations between tribes was a very important matter.

Upon arrival, it was quite unexpected to discover that the leader opposite it was also a master of psychic powers. After communicating with each other using their psychic abilities, the two Pokémon chatted happily.

However, to outsiders, it appeared as a silly, dazed beast nodding occasionally, seemingly communicating with the Butterfree clan chief. The Butterfree clan chief, in turn, seemed to be thoroughly enjoying the conversation.

This struck the Alcremie and the others as extremely strange. Had Chief Butterfly lost his mind, nodding incessantly at an idiot?

Su Yu, who was passing by, smiled and said:

"Don't let their appearance fool you, Slowpoke and the like actually possess astonishing intelligence!"

"Mama?" Why do you say that?

Upon hearing this, Frost Milk Fairy looked at Su Yu curiously.

Su Yu then explained:

"I deduced this from Slowpoke's evolved form, Slowking."

"It is said that after being bitten on the head by a Shellder, the Shellder's toxins entered Slowking's brain, thus awakening Slowking's dormant wisdom."

"Mama?" Does that mean the Slowpokes can become incredibly intelligent?

"Ice Cream Fairy asked curiously."

Among the people it knew, Su Yu was arguably the most intelligent. The second was Zhihui the gorilla, who could make delicious juice.

Upon hearing this, Su Yu nodded, thinking that perhaps he was even smarter than himself.

Many Psychic-type Pokémon possess astonishing intelligence.

……

……

Over the next few days, Su Yu would go to the sea with Tropius and Suicune to help capture those Pokémon that were running amok.

After catching Pokémon with anonymous Poké Balls, Su Yu can take them to Officer Jenny in the local area to exchange for rewards.

However, for Su Yu now, these rewards are insignificant.

The appearance of the Dragonite clan caused quite a stir in Donghuang. After Su Yu and his group left Dragon Island, the Dragonites indeed came out to maintain stability in the sea as agreed.

Many people have witnessed Dragonite battling Pokémon like Sharpedo at sea.

Some people even encountered danger at sea and were eventually rescued by Dragonite. However, Dragonite only took the person to a nearby island and did not bring them back to Dragon Island.

But this also made the Dragonite family famous, attracting large crowds wherever they appeared.

On this day...

Bring a fisherman ashore whose boat was damaged while fishing at sea.

After landing, the fisherman wrung out his wet and cold clothes and expressed his gratitude to the silly dragon.

After confirming that the other party was alright, Dragonite glanced at its location. This place seemed quite close to Su Yu's house?

We might as well go and take a look while we're on the way.

Fluttering its little wings, the Dragonite flew straight to Su Yu Ranch. Along the way, it was spotted by many residents.

"Is that a Dragonite?"

"That's right, a chubby yellow body with a pair of small wings, it's a Dragonite!"

"Honey, come out and see Dragonite!"

People were stunned to see the Dragonite. At the same time, they were also very curious.

Why did Dragonite, which usually stays in the sea, suddenly come to the shore?

"That direction seems to be the Yang family's ranch, doesn't it?"

"No, I think this Dragonite should be heading to Su Yu Ranch!"

The news spread quickly throughout the pastoral area. People living there usually lacked entertainment, so this exciting event prompted them to share it widely.

Even more extreme, some tried to catch up with Dragonite. Some quick-handed ones had already set off on their Pokémon.

Su Yu had just finished watering the crops and returned to the house. When she picked up her phone, she saw a message from an acquaintance.

Are there any Dragonite sightings in the pastoral areas?

Could it be that silly Dragonite from before? Normally, Dragonite should keep a low profile when they're out in the wild, especially those that haven't been caught yet.

He ran up to the rooftop and took a look. Not long after, he indeed saw a yellow figure.

The silly Dragonite flew over and hugged Su Yu tightly.

"Pop~!" Long time no see, Su Yu!

Okay, he really is that goofball.

"Hey... don't strain like that, I can't breathe." Su Yu said quickly as he struggled.

Upon hearing this, Dragonite released its grip and scratched its head sheepishly.

"Why did you suddenly come here? How's the situation on Dragon Island?"

"Pop~"

Dragonite also explained the changes that had occurred in the past few days to Su Yu.

Not long after they started talking, a group of people gathered from not far away.

They were discussing as they walked this way:

"As expected of the Su Yu family. I knew it. There aren't many people around here with such great abilities."

"That's true, although I guessed it a long time ago."

"Come on, you already guessed that... But the Su family kid is really amazing, he even managed to catch a Dragonite."

...I did not subdue it.

Su Yu retorted inwardly.

Upon seeing these people, Su Yu asked Dragonite:

"Did you bring this here?"

"Pop..." I guess so.

Dragonite scratched its head; it seemed it had indeed caused quite a commotion along the way.

It didn't expect it to have such consequences.
