Pokémon: Starting with a Pokémon Ranch.

Chapter 271 The Arrival of the Dragonite Clan

Several days later, on the day agreed upon with the Dragonite clan leader.

Early in the morning, the Dragonite raced through the storm and left Dragon Island. This time, almost the entire clan set out.

Besides Dragonite, the Dragonair and Dratini that had previously hidden in the lake also came along.

Many of the Dratini were traveling far from home for the first time. They couldn't fly; they simply stayed on the backs of the Dragonite, curiously gazing at the boundless ocean.

The sheer number of Dragonite flying across the sea created a formidable spectacle. As they approached the pasture, they attracted a large crowd of onlookers.

"Look, it's that Dragonite we saw last time!"

"It wasn't just one, it was a whole group! I've never seen so many Dragonite before in my life."

"Wait, the direction these dragons are heading... could they be flying towards Su Yu Ranch again?"

Some people, upon seeing the Dragonite, rushed home to fetch food, intending to feed it.

The older Dragonite usually refuses this food. However, the younger Dragonite are not so wary.

"Fuu~!"

They would approach human hands to eat Bao Fen, and at that moment, those people would reach out to touch her.

Hakron did not refuse. It allowed humans to pet it and seemed to enjoy it very much.

While touching him, the man didn't forget to continue feeding Hakron Baofen.

"Pop!"

After a while, the Dragonite patriarch at the back of the line would come over and urge the Dragonair not to linger any longer.

It was precisely because this situation was anticipated that the Dragonite patriarch stayed at the back of the group to prevent any dragons from falling behind.

Upon hearing this, the Hakkarosaurus, after bidding farewell to the humans, would control the airflow to catch up with the main group.

"Hakuron looks really beautiful!"

Some people remarked after they left.

"Dragonite is good too, it looks chubby and cute, isn't it?"

Someone immediately followed up with a question.

……

When the Dragonite arrived at the ranch.

"You... flew all the way here at such a low altitude?" Su Yu asked in astonishment.

Flying so low, it's hard to miss. By now, the pastoral community chat group has probably already erupted in discussion.

"Pop..."

Upon hearing this, the goofy Dragonite scratched its head, because it had a hard time finding its way around.

Flying low makes it easier to identify directions by having ground-based reference points. That's why it flies very low when leading the way.

"Never mind, it doesn't matter. Anyway, the large poaching gangs in Donghuang have basically been wiped out."

"If all else fails, I'll leave you a phone number. If you encounter any danger, just call the number on it, and I'll come to help you."

As he spoke, Su Yu called the owner of the electronics store and asked him to help him get a button phone.

Seeing so many Dragonite arrive, all the Pokémon in the ranch also gathered around.

When Su Yu last went to Dragon Island, he only brought a portion of the Pokémon. Therefore, most of the Pokémon on the ranch had never seen so many Dragonite before.

"Poof~!" The silly Dragonite seemed quite familiar with them, waving its paws in a goofy manner to greet them.

"Alright, those who want to play can go play, and those who want to eat can come with me."

Upon hearing this, the vast majority of Dragonite chose to follow Su Yu. Dragonair and Dratini, on the other hand, curiously observed the Pokémon on the ranch and quickly began playing with them.

Su Yu led the Dragonite to the Sky Restaurant, where various foods had already been laid out on the tables.

"Please find a seat. I'm not finished here yet, so I'll have to go get busy."

With that, Su Yu left the restaurant, leaving the group of Dragonite looking at each other in bewilderment.

"Awoo~?" Shall we sit?

"Pop!" You should ask the clan leader about that; it seems to have stayed where it was and gone to watch the children.

"Awoo~!" But that human already let us sit down!

Just as the Dragonite were undecided, a family of mice finally arrived.

However, only the father and mother came over; the two children stayed with Hakron and played with them.

Upon arriving, they immediately began arranging for the Dragonite to sit down. Seeing that someone was directing them, the Dragonite stopped arguing.

"Poof~?" Are you the Pokémon of that human from just now?

Seeing how skilled the rats were, one of the Dragonite asked in confusion.

Upon hearing this, the mother mouse in the family shook her head. She indicated that she was merely an employee working there.

"Boo?!" An employee?

The Dragonite was quite shocked.

Would humans actually recruit Pokémon as employees? And would the Pokémon even be willing to do so?

The mother mouse nodded in agreement. Not only them, but many of the Pokémon on this ranch volunteered to stay and work here.

There are intelligent birds like the gorilla and the Slowking King, as well as messenger birds that are deliverymen and orchard guardians like the Oddish...

"Pop~!" Can you tell us more?

Hearing this, the surrounding Dragonite were also intrigued. They even forgot about their food and kept urging their mother mouse to tell a story.

Since it was the guest's request, the mother mouse began to tell her story. What she said was all that she had seen and heard since coming to the ranch.

This was quite a rare experience for the Dragonite, who had long lived in seclusion on Dragon Island. Therefore, they listened to these stories with great amazement.

Compared to them, the Dragonite in the other seats were much more normal. After taking their seats, they all reached for the food on the table. There were plenty of berries, as well as various flavors of Power Cubes, Bouffet, and Bouffet.

Such a wide variety of food was like a grand feast for the Dragonite. They all stopped talking and started reaching for the food.

"Here it is—freshly squeezed pineapple juice, a specialty drink here, you must try it."

"Huh... are you all eating so seriously?"

Seeing the Dragonite eating in silence, Su Yu was both amused and exasperated. He said:

"Don't worry, I'm still making new food, there will definitely be enough for you."

"The ranch has plenty of food reserves."

However, the restaurant seemed to be short-staffed. Su Yu was just about to call Alcremie back when Slowking climbed the restaurant stairs.

"Divine messenger, are we manpower enough here? Do you need my help?"

"You are... Slowking's true form?"

Su Yu felt that he had to use the power of Eternal Waves to identify himself every time they met.

Upon hearing this, Slowking nodded. Seeing how busy the restaurant was, it used its Substitute move to create two more Substitutes.

"If there aren't enough people, I can keep distributing them, Divine Messenger."

Slowking's expression remained blank. But what it said carried considerable weight.

"That's enough, come and help me."

Su Yu quickly replied.

As he spoke, he beckoned Dazed King to the oven to help watch over the cookies.
