Pokémon: Starting with a Pokémon Ranch.

Chapter 263 Changes After the Merging of the Secret Realms, Hoopa's Prank

The next day.

When Su Yu got up, Hupa was still sleeping.

Sometime later, He had fallen off the small bed that Su Yu had specially set up. At this moment, He was leaning against the woolly horned sheep, sleeping with them.

This is perfect because we don't need blankets; the wool of woolly sheep is a natural insulating material.

Su Yu tiptoed out of the room and, after washing up, went outside.

The arrival of the secret realm last night brought many changes to the ranch. Not only has its area increased significantly, but it has also gained a lot more resources.

"Come on?"

Seeing Su Yu get up, the Screw Mole poked its head out of the ground. In its hand, it was holding a piece of sandy rock.

Su Yu took the stone and asked in confusion:

"Did you find this in the field?"

"Croak~!"

The Screw Mole nodded. Since waking up this morning, it had been exploring the strata everywhere. This sandy rock was the one it found underground.

As it spoke, the Screw Mole waved its hands, seemingly trying to indicate the size of the rock or mineral.

"Very big? Extremely big?"

"About how many Styracosaurus-sized creatures are there?" Su Yu asked.

Upon hearing this, the screw-like mole pondered for a moment and gestured a number.

"Fifty? That's quite a lot. I reckon it can fetch a good price." Su Yu nodded in satisfaction.

Besides these, there are many other minerals in the strata. However, the Screw Mole has not yet fully explored the area, so the details are not very clear.

But if you add it all up, it's definitely worth several million Alliance Coins.

This secret realm is now integrated with the ranch, and Su Yu plans to pay the alliance to buy it outright. That way, all the minerals will belong to him.

"Then you should continue exploring. The subsequent mining operations may depend on you."

Su Yu patted the head of the screw gopher.

"Cheers~"

Upon hearing this, the screw-like gopher nodded excitedly and immediately burrowed back into the soil to explore.

Su Yu planned to first walk around the ranch and see how it had changed after merging with the secret realm.

At this moment, the little lambs on their mounts also woke up. With sleepy eyes, they came out and saw Su Yu.

Su Yu also asked:

"Want to go for a walk? Want to come along?"

"Meow~"

Upon hearing this, the little lambs on their mounts readily agreed.

These past few days, they've been eating degenerated honey cakes every day. This has allowed them to maintain their mount-like lamb posture.

With three Heavenly King-level "fierce beasts" by his side, Su Yu first went to check the facilities in the ranch.

Seemingly due to Hoopa's manipulation, the secret realm and the ranch merged quite smoothly. The secret realm did not abruptly insert itself into the middle of the ranch, but rather, like two puzzle pieces, they fit together perfectly.

As a result, these facilities were mostly undamaged. Only the farmland was slightly trampled, likely due to Pokémon running around.

The place where the secret realms merged happened to be near Moon Lake.

There is a forest there, and in the forest live many Pokémon such as Cotton Ball and Bug Sac.

Beside the forest, there is a flat grassland.

"This place is actually suitable for establishing a herd of woolly-horned sheep."

Seeing that there were almost no Pokémon living on the grassland, Su Yu thought to himself.

Now that the secret realm has been integrated, the ranch area has expanded to three times its original size, which can be said to have solved the urgent problem of insufficient space.

After circling the ranch, Su Yu returned to his new home. By then, Hoopa had already woken up.

He was manipulating a ring, constantly taking things out of it. The entire room was filled with snacks that He had brought.

The Alcremie, standing nearby, also had her eyes light up as she looked at the mountain of snacks.

"Hoopa, where did these snacks come from?"

Looking at Hupa's hand reaching into the ring, Su Yu had a general idea.

Upon hearing this, Huba scratched his head sheepishly and chuckled:

"Hehehe, I got it from the supermarket in town."

Su Yu: "..."

Free purchase, right?

"It's wrong to take someone else's things without permission. You should return them to them as soon as possible."

Su Yu said helplessly.

Meanwhile, the town's supermarket...

The boss opened the roller shutter door early in the morning and just happened to see Hupa reaching for something.

"Holy crap, a thief?"

I never imagined that after so many years in business, I would still encounter this situation. The boss rushed forward in a panic, trying to stop the hand.

But when it comes to stealing, Huba is already a master at it. He quickly grabs the item and pulls his hand back, the movements are seamless.

The boss stayed put, intending to wait for the opportunity to strike. However, the next moment, the ring reappeared in another location, which infuriated him. He angrily cursed:

"With that ability, why not do something else instead of stealing snacks?"

This caused Hoopa, who was about to return the snacks, to pause. The next moment, the ring enveloped the entire mountain of snacks. A large amount of snacks were teleported over, completely overwhelming the boss.

"Did you return them all?" Su Yu asked seriously when he saw that all the snacks had disappeared.

"Yes, yes, I've returned them all!"

Hupa nodded obediently, but when she thought about how her boss had been completely submerged, she couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle mischievously.

"That's good."

Su Yu sighed helplessly. Hoopa wasn't a bad person at heart; he just loved playing pranks too much.

For some reason, he suddenly felt as if he had woken up to find himself as a child's guardian.

Back in the kitchen, Su Yu prepared to make breakfast.

"Come to think of it, I've had this feeling since yesterday. Have I forgotten something?"

Taking the meat out of the refrigerator, Su Yu thought to himself. But after a moment's thought, his expression changed:

"Oh no, I forgot to let Xindong know I'm safe!"

He forgot about it after the secret realm appeared last night. He wondered if Xin Dong would rush over as soon as he heard about it?

With Hupa opening a loop, Su Yu arrived directly outside the secret realm.

At this moment, Xin Dong was standing outside the spatial barrier, talking with Yang Hao.

Seeing that Su Yu was alright, Xin Dong breathed a sigh of relief. Originally, he had already planned to call the Ghost-type Elite Four member to help open a spatial passage to go in and take a look.

"I'm glad you're alright. I hope the ranch wasn't damaged in any way?"

Seeing that Su Yu had no injuries at all, Xin Dong asked curiously.

Su Yu shook his head:

"There's no major damage, but I have some trouble that I need your help with."

Su Yu was referring to the Pokémon that Hoopa had summoned.

Although Hoopa could send these Pokémon back on its own, such a strange situation would likely cause concern among the Pokémon trainers.

Therefore, the alliance needs to step in and help explain.

After listening to Su Yu's explanation, Xin Dong nodded:

"That's not a big problem. But you said... a new legendary Pokémon has arrived?"

If I remember correctly, when the Spirit Horse descended, it ran to the location of Su Yu Ranch in the Spirit Realm.

That's not all. Just one month later, a new legendary Pokémon has appeared in this place?
