Pokémon: Starting with a Pokémon Ranch.

Chapter 270 The ranch is on TV!

"Oh, I see."

Upon hearing this, Su Yu nodded. No wonder Dragonite suddenly appeared this time.

"I'm free these few days, but you can come a little earlier. I might be leaving soon."

"Boo?" Leaving?

Dragonite looked puzzled.

Su Yu then explained Hoopa's abilities and his travel plans to it.

"Pop..."

A mobile ranch?

That sounds amazing!

Does that mean that on the way to Hoenn, we will pass by Dragon Island?

"Probably. Hoopa's abilities aren't very strong yet; he can only move pastures over medium distances."

"So if you want to get to Hoenn, you'll need to teleport several times along the way."

Su Yu replied.

After delivering the message, Dragonite flapped its little wings and rode the wind away.

It was to relay Su Yu's words back so that the clan leader could decide when to come as a guest.

After watching Dragonite leave, Su Yu was about to go back to watch TV, but since the Dragonite clan might be coming soon, he decided to go and prepare the food to entertain them.

……

That evening.

After keeping track of the expenses, Su Yu thought about how he needed to prepare to close the newcomer challenge soon.

This challenge, open to new trainers in the surrounding area, has been running for almost a month now, and a considerable amount of goat milk has been given away, which has helped many newcomers.

But if we're going to Hoenn, we need to make sure the Pokémon on the ranch have a good time. We can't expect them to come back and face the challenge later.

Thinking of this, Su Yu sent a message to the town mayor, informing him of the situation.

Suddenly, Alcremie in the living room shouted:

"Mama~!" Su Yu, come quick!

"What's wrong?" Hearing this, Su Yu got up and went to the living room to look at the TV.

At that moment, the TV was showing a variety show where trainers took on challenges and obstacles.

The show primarily showcases ordinary trainers who have had extraordinary adventures and possess considerable skill. It aims to capture viewers' attention by recounting their remarkable experiences and demonstrating their abilities.

Just like this young Cotton Trainer right now.

In response to the host's question, the trainer introduced himself as follows:

"I come from Seagull Town. The reason why my little cotton is so strong is thanks to a rancher in our town named Su Yu."

How could this possibly be related to me?

Could it be a trainer who came to challenge someone before?

And indeed, things turned out just as Su Yu had imagined.

After introducing himself, the man began to recount his experiences on the ranch and the special effects of the goat milk from his mount.

"That goat milk is more effective than any nutritional supplement on the market. My baby is actually less than two months old, but as you just saw, its performance is just as good as that of a baby who is six months old."

These words immediately sparked heated discussions among the audience.

This person also knew that such miraculous goat milk would inevitably cause controversy.

Therefore, he directly presented the birth certificate from the Pokémon Center, as well as photos of Yu Mianmian's growth over the past two months.

The photo also includes the date it was taken, and a spider plant in the background serves as a reference, increasing the photo's credibility.

Upon seeing the photo, the entire room erupted in uproar.

The rookie trainer said, "Not only that, the ranch owner of this farm is also a very skilled trainer. We encountered at least three Pokémon there that couldn't be scanned in the Pokédex and were marked as unknown species."

"There you'll also find Dedric, who can transform into lightning and is incredibly fast; Caterpie, who can fly; and Squirtle, who possesses immense strength..."

"In addition, there is a tree on his ranch that is over 70 meters tall, the kind that can withstand a typhoon."

Host: "There really are such amazing ranches? It seems necessary to send a reporter to investigate."

"I just don't know if this rancher will be willing to be interviewed."

That concludes the segment about the ranch, with the host only mentioning that the next episode will reveal more, effectively whetting the audience's appetite.

Su Yu: ...

They actually let someone expose their own ranch?

Originally, his ranch was only known in a few surrounding towns. But thanks to this newcomer's actions, he himself might become famous as well.

"I just don't know when that reporter will arrive," Su Yu shook his head.

"Mama~?"

Upon hearing this, Alcremie became interested. A reporter?

So, does that mean they can appear on TV now?

"Maya—"

"Zhuzhu~"

"Hoopa is going to be on TV too!"

Other Pokémon chimed in.

"Okay, if the reporters come, I'll let them interview you," Su Yu said, both amused and exasperated.

……

The next day.

The silly Dragonite flew back to the ranch and told Chief Su Yu the time of the announcement.

"The day after tomorrow? Sure, I have plenty of time to prepare now."

"Then I'll prepare more food and wait for you to arrive."

Su Yu responded.

And that evening...

After drinking the last bowl of pork rib and lotus root soup, Shui Jun felt that His power had finally returned to its peak level.

If he goes out in his current state, those poachers probably won't dare to give him a second glance. After all, this is a genuine top champion, the level of Mega Evolution Steven's Metagross.

As his strength was restored, Suigun felt that his connection with Raikou and Entei had become even stronger.

Their positions don't seem to be very far apart, and they may arrive soon.

He seemed quite surprised after telling Su Yu the news.

"So fast?"

He had only been at this ranch for seven months, and he had already encountered three divine beasts. Before this, he hadn't encountered a single one in Donghuang.

It seems... the speed at which secret realms are descending is accelerating. Hoenn has just landed, and Johto is following closely behind.

"So, you'll be leaving then?" Su Yu asked.

To be honest, Raikou and Entei are Suicune's true companions. Su Yu simply took advantage of the time when Ho-Oh wasn't there to bring Suicune to the ranch for a while.

Upon hearing this, Suijun nodded silently; it was inevitable.

Their lives were reborn because of Ho-Oh, and therefore, it is their duty to protect Ho-Oh.

"Let's drink some more pork rib soup before they leave." Su Yu was quite easygoing. Anyway, with Hoopa around, he could just go visit Suicune often after she left.

Unfortunately, he never managed to turn the pork rib soup into a proper dish. Otherwise, with his culinary skills, he might have been able to help Suicune become stronger, just like Hoopa.

It's unlikely that it will surpass Ho-Oh, but it shouldn't be too difficult for it to at least overpower Raikou and Entei.

I just hope he can finish cooking before Suikun leaves.
