Pokémon: Starting with a Pokémon Ranch.

Chapter 255 The Wool-Horned Sheep's Dream of Becoming the Sheep Clan Chief

Immediately after evolving, Slowking displayed a strong thirst for knowledge.

It felt a constant stream of new and exciting knowledge flowing into its brain, and many things that it couldn't understand before suddenly became clear.

While pondering, Slowking looked at a fruit tree not far away. There, a fruit had just fallen from a branch.

The falling fruit... gravity...

Su Yu: ?

Good heavens, Isaac Slowpoke?

Have I evolved into a scientist?

"I'll go to the town library another day and borrow some books for Dazed King."

Su Yu thought to himself.

Then, he looked at the mosquito coil next to him.

Having witnessed Slowpoke's evolution firsthand, Poliwag felt even more powerless against it. Seeing Su Yu looking over, it lowered its head somewhat insecurely.

This is a far cry from his extremely confident demeanor before the war.

Seeing this, Su Yu smiled and said:

"It's okay if you lose, Mosquito Coil, this was just a friendly spar."

"However, I can't give you the scallions. But if you still want them, I can help you find a way."

Su Yu intended to raise these mosquito coils in the rice paddies, which would be a good way to repel pests.

As for its evolved form, Poliwag, it possesses the ability to bring rain, making it a perfect candidate for rice paddies. It is said that its call is extremely loud, and when three Poliwags gather together, they will put on a grand chorus.

Su Yu kept the group of mosquito coils by promising them the Onion King.

"By the way, why did you guys suddenly barge in here?"

Su Yu was very curious about the origin of the mosquito coils. After learning about it, he found out that these mosquito coils were actually driven out by the stinging jellyfish.

In the original animation, there are instances of the Tentacruel species climbing onto land and invading cities. Now, it seems they've realized humans aren't easy to deal with, and are starting to venture into the wild.

Driven away by them, the mosquito coils had no choice but to abandon their original habitat.

"...What a menace," Su Yu said helplessly.

However, with the mobilization of the League and the actions of the Dragonite clan, these sea rogues should be driven out soon.

Upon receiving this news, Suicune became interested. She wanted to leave the ranch and go alone to banish and purify those waters.

"Are you planning to leave the ranch for a while?" Su Yu asked.

Upon hearing this, Suicune shook its head. With Godspeed, it could easily travel there and back quickly. And now, it possessed the strength of a Celestial King, so it had nothing to fear from danger.

"Oh, okay, then go ahead."

"While you're at it, you can bring Arcanine along too."

Su Yu understood that this was because Suicune's sense of responsibility had been awakened. As a legendary Pokémon, it could not tolerate the encroachment on the habitats of other Pokémon.

After Su Yu agreed, Suicune and Arcanine left the ranch together. This trip would also allow them to temper Arcanine's sense of justice.

……

After leaving Moon Lake, Su Yu brought Dazed King home.

This was Slowking's first time entering a human-built structure. It curiously looked around, while Su Yu said to Alcremie:

"You two get along well. I'm going to borrow some books from next door."

As he spoke, he went to Uncle Yang's ranch next door and borrowed the complete set of books for nine years of compulsory education from Yang Hao.

Upon hearing that Su Yu had come to borrow books, Yang Hao asked in confusion:

"What do you need these for?"

"I have a Pokémon at home that wants this, so I'll borrow the book for it to study on its own."

"By the way, you should remember this Pokémon, it's the Slowpoke by the lake earlier."

Su Yu explained.

Upon hearing this, Yang Hao immediately understood. Su Yu had found the King's Token and used it to evolve that Slowpoke!

The King's Token is not cheap. This is mainly because its quantity is extremely limited, and it is usually a one-time use item that cannot be recycled after it is used.

Generally speaking, it takes two to three hundred thousand Alliance Coins to acquire it.

"You're really generous, aren't you? Here, take the book." Yang Hao said, handing the book to Su Yu.

He didn't know that Su Yu's entire evolution process only required a single scallion.

Of course, Su Yu didn't intend to spread the word. After all, the idea that a green onion could evolve a Pokémon was simply too shocking. If word got out, Farfetch'd would probably be arrested and sent to 007.

When he returned to the ranch, the woolly sheep were gathered around Mosquito Coil, asking him curious questions.

Faced with the formidable Woolhorn Sheep, the Mosquito Coil leader lowered his head and tucked his hands in, looking like a submissive brother obediently listening to his elder brother's questions. He seemed to have completely lost the sharpness he had when he first arrived.

"Yobo..."

Back then, I was young and reckless, so naive! I thought that leading a tribe meant I could at least run rampant outside. Little did I expect that I would run into a tough opponent as soon as I arrived at my very first place.

In this ranch, everyone is a big shot.

"Hey, you fuzzy horned sheep, don't go too far!" Su Yu said, seeing this.

Upon hearing this, the fuzzy horned sheep turned around and responded, then let Mosquito Coil go off to roam freely.

They themselves came to Su Yu's side and followed him closely.

"What's up?"

Seeing this, Su Yu asked in confusion. These three sheep are full of bad intentions and don't look like they're up to any good.

"Mah~" Upon hearing this, the woolly horned sheep nodded and then explained their thoughts to Su Yu.

It turns out that after witnessing the arrival of the three major groups—the Caterpillar, the Slowpoke, and the Mosquito Coil—the Woolhorn Sheep realized they were all alone. Therefore, they also wanted to form a group.

"Mahya~" the woolly horned sheep exclaimed.

—To survive in this world, you need power and connections.

The ethnic group is clearly involved in both power and background.

Su Yu: ...

If the woolly horned sheep really wanted to, this wouldn't be impossible. After all, other people's pastures also have herds of cattle and sheep.

The woolly sheep breed can produce wool, and raising more of them will not affect the ranch's economy at all.

but……

"There's not enough space on the ranch right now, let's talk about it later."

As the number of Pokémon in the ranch increased, the once spacious ranch became increasingly cramped. Su Yu was recently troubled about how to solve this problem.

"Mah..." Okay.

The woolly sheep were helpless when they learned that their dream of becoming leader had been shattered. After all, Su Yu was still the one in charge of the ranch.

They originally wanted to recruit Dangdang as the chief of the sheep tribe, and maybe even establish a "sheep village".

"..."

Having learned their thoughts through the power of the Everlasting Stone, Su Yu was utterly exasperated. "Returning Sheep Village? Do I also need to find you a green grassland?"
