Pokémon: Starting with a Pokémon Ranch.

Chapter 265 Buying Sheep, the Ranch Steward, Dazed King

"Then you can choose some Pokémon that you like from these."

Upon hearing this, the other party also spoke.

Upon hearing this, Su Yu also began to observe.

Whether these Pokémon are efficient at producing wool is secondary. Su Yu is no longer running the ranch solely for money.

Therefore, whether someone has a good or bad personality is the key factor he considers.

After observing for a while, Su Yu selected several pairs of lambs. One of them was even a complete family.

That family had both rams and ewes, which was quite unusual.

Other combinations usually involve a mother sheep and her baby sheep, with very few rams present.

The owner of the breeding ranch also responded:

"Okay, I'll bring them out for you right away."

A short while later, the sheep were brought out. They weren't flustered; instead, they all looked at Su Yu with curiosity.

Clearly, the ranchers here had informed them of this beforehand, and knew that these were humans coming to take them away.

Su Yu then squatted down, stroked one of the woolly-horned sheep, and asked:

"Would you like to come with me to my ranch?"

"The environment where I live is quite good, and the grass is lush. Plus, I have these three woolly sheep to keep me company."

As he spoke, Su Yu pointed to the three woolly horned sheep that had followed him behind him.

Upon hearing Su Yu mention it, the three woolly-horned sheep stepped forward. Because of the better food they received on the ranch, they were twice the size of ordinary woolly-horned sheep.

Therefore, the three of them look very tall.

"Hey~" Follow me, and I guarantee you'll get what's coming to you.

The three leaders of the woolly horned sheep said with great confidence.

Upon hearing this, the adult sheep in the flock exchanged glances and finally nodded in agreement.

"Meow~"

These woolly sheep looked so strong and reliable that they chose to agree.

"It seems your talks went very smoothly!"

"Then I'll sell all of these dozen or so Pokémon to you."

Seeing this, the rancher standing nearby also spoke up.

After paying the fee, Su Yu led the flock of sheep back home.

Along the way, many acquaintances saw him and curiously came over to ask him a question.

Su Yu said that these were just things he bought to keep as companions, nothing new or exciting.

"If you ask me, the Su family kid is really promising. He has both cooking skills and other abilities."

"This ranch is well-managed; the only pity is that it lacks a female owner."

Someone in the crowd said.

"What, you want to introduce him to someone?"

The older generation in the pastoral area immediately gets excited when this topic comes up. They compete to recommend their own daughters, and they almost come to blows.

Seeing this, Su Yu quickly took advantage of the chaos to slip away.

"The fighting power of the older generation is truly terrifying..."

After escaping, Su Yu said with embarrassment.

To be honest, he has no plans to start a family. At least for now, he's quite content with his life with his Pokémon.

Returning to the pasture with the sheep, the original sheepfold seemed a bit too small. With over a dozen sheep Pokémon inside, the space actually felt cramped.

"You can stay here for now. In a few days, I will build you a new home."

Pointing to the sheepfold, Su Yu said.

With their own three woolly-horned sheep, the new sheep no longer needed sheepdogs for protection and could roam freely.

After indicating to the three leaders of the sheep tribe that they could handle things themselves, the three leaders happily strode along and led the flock on a tour of the pasture.

Su Yu went back inside. As soon as he returned, he sensed the call from Slowking's psychic powers.

"What's wrong? Oh, you've learned Stand techniques?"

Upon entering the room, Su Yu saw two Dazed Kings. One of them was clearly a clone created using energy.

"Yes, messenger of God."

Dazed King nodded, and this time, both bodies spoke together.

"Furthermore, I've learned to multitask. With more practice, multitasking might not be out of the question."

In the end, Slowking might really be able to "incarnate into countless forms," ​​who knows?

With its intelligence, it could easily control even more clones.

As soon as he finished training, Slowking asked Su Yu for a favor. Having been on this ranch for so long, it had observed many Pokémon.

In this ranch, almost every Pokémon has its own tasks to do. Alcremie is in charge of making desserts for the other Pokémon, Bismina is in charge of collecting pollen to make nutritional supplements, and Styropod helps provide air conditioning for the cold storage.

In other words, almost all the Pokémon living on this ranch have made their own contributions. Only it and the Slowpoke family have been eating and drinking for free.

According to the mindset of human society, one must put in labor in order to reap rewards.

Upon hearing this, Su Yu pondered for a moment. There really weren't many Pokémon with such high intelligence as Slowking on the ranch. With its abilities, it was perfectly capable of handling some of the tasks that only humans could do.

This includes things like helping manage the ranch, supervising the work, and keeping accounts.

As his proficiency with Stand moves increases, Slowking can appear in multiple locations simultaneously, helping to handle many tasks.

"In that case, I'll appoint you as the ranch's steward," Su Yu said.

Hmm... It would be great if the wise man of the sea could be my steward.

"Butler?" Dazed King repeated.

"Yes, they are the helpers who are responsible for managing the ranch," Su Yu explained.

"Later, I will gradually teach you how to manage the ranch. In addition, the convenience store needs someone who knows how to keep accounts, so I'm appointing you as the store manager there."

"I also need your help to mediate the relationships between the Pokémon on the ranch. If any conflicts arise, you'll be the mediator."

To put it bluntly, it just means there's one more second-in-command at the ranch.

Despite being entrusted with an important task right from the start, Slowking maintained its expressionless demeanor. However, Su Yu could tell from the psychic fluctuations emanating from it that Slowking was extremely excited.

Su Yu had considered solutions to this very strange situation. He even tried using the dish that could generate emotion figurines on the Dazed King.

However, the little emotion figure that Dazed King generated after eating it was also expressionless, leaving Su Yu speechless.

Perhaps, this is what makes Slowking so special...

After thinking for a moment, Slowking cautiously added:

"Then I need to read more related books, otherwise I'm afraid I won't do well."

Upon hearing this, Su Yu was both amused and exasperated. It seemed he would have to get a library card for the dazed king.

Otherwise, with so many books, he would have to help borrow them every time.

"Okay, I'll take you to borrow books tomorrow," Su Yu agreed.
