Pokémon: Starting with a Pokémon Ranch.

Chapter 303 Mela Returns, Shopping in Town

Meanwhile, on the other side...

With Marshadow by his side, Suicune traveled for several days before finally returning to the Johto region.

As soon as they entered Tianqing Mountain, Lei Gong and Yan Di immediately sensed their presence.

The two divine beasts appeared one after another, looking at Suicune with curiosity. Sure enough, Suicune's strength and life level had greatly improved.

Has this... led to some extraordinary encounter?

Both mythical beasts looked curiously into Suicune's shadow, hoping for an answer. But this caused the naturally timid Marshadow to tremble.

Throughout the journey, He barely dared to ask Suijun any questions. Even on the way to Su Yu Ranch, He barely dared to show His head.

"Let's go see Lord Ho-Oh first," Suicune said.

This is Marcia's nature, which also suits its ability to hide in the shadows.

Therefore, the three sacred beasts usually don't cause too much trouble.

Upon hearing this, Emperor Yan and Lei Gong both nodded. They followed behind Shui Jun and arrived at the highest point of Tianqing Mountain.

When they arrived, Phoenix King also made his appearance.

Upon meeting Ho-Oh, Suicune recounted its entire experience, beginning with its fall into the Distortion World, its defeat by Giratina that caused its power to plummet, and finally, the arrival of Marshadow.

This naturally includes Su Yu's matter.

"A dish with strange abilities? And it can even help Pokémon become stronger?"

After hearing Suicune's account, Ho-Oh was utterly incredulous. The absurdity of this dish surpassed even that of His sacred ashes.

Even a Pokémon of Suicune's caliber can have such a significant effect from that kind of food. Does that mean we can mass-produce legendary Pokémon?

"What do you think? Should I go and take a look at that ranch?"

"I asked curiously," Phoenix King said.

Upon hearing this, the three legendary beasts and Marshadow were both taken aback, not expecting that Ho-Oh would have such an idea.

……

That evening.

Wataru and Daigo each found a hotel to stay in, but Wataru would still come to the ranch during the day afterwards.

He seemed very interested in the operation of the ranch and would come and stay for a while every day.

Su Yu was busy restoring the crops in the fields. Although the typhoon had not had a significant impact on the ranch as a whole, most of the crops in the fields were still affected.

Even the mosquito coil nests were washed away into a muddy mess after the heavy rain.

"As expected, catching a Ground-type Pokémon is now urgent."

It's a pity that Mela went to Hoenn, otherwise...

"The boss?"

As Su Yu was thinking, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind him.

He turned around in confusion and saw that it really was Mela who had called him.

"Wow, what brings you back?" Su Yu asked curiously.

"Our business in the Hoenn region is basically on track. I also happened to recruit a capable assistant there. From now on, I won't need to stay there all the time."

"So I thought I'd come back for a visit and ask the boss where we should expand our business next?"

When Mela first went to Hoenn, she encountered the Steel Titans destroying the surrounding towns. She took this opportunity to take on many projects and establish herself in Hoenn.

Subsequently, Devon also provided a lot of assistance, enabling Mela's business to expand rapidly.

In the blink of an eye, her family's plastering business had already reached a considerable scale in Hoenn.

"Oh, I see..." Su Yu nodded in realization. In that case, they could continue to expand their business to other regions, right?

Recently, three regions of Aquamarine have been visited. Among them, Galar is still in the early stages of development, making it a good time to enter the market.

Therefore, Su Yu also asked:

"Would you be interested in taking a look at the Galar region?"

……

The deal to expand business in Galar was quickly finalized.

Incidentally, Su Yu also asked Meila to do him a small favor and help tidy up the ranch.

These were all minor issues for Mela.

She released her evolved mantle rock, which quickly smoothed out the uneven ground.

She even helped build up the mosquito coils' nests.

Looking at their newly built and more sturdy nest, the three frog chieftains were very excited. They gathered in the pond and sang loudly to express their gratitude to Meila and Suyu.

Hearing the song, even the superhumans couldn't help but dance along, though their dancing was, to put it bluntly, quite clumsy.

After finishing his work in the fields, Su Yu returned to his new home.

"Awooo..."

As soon as he returned, Arcanine came to him with a broken toy in its mouth and a sad expression on its face.

"What's wrong? Is the toy broken?" Su Yu asked, puzzled. He looked at it and realized that the toy had been bought a long time ago, so it was normal for it to be broken.

On the contrary, he hasn't gone to town to buy things for a long time.

It wasn't because he was lazy, but because as the ranch became more and more self-sufficient, going to town became less and less necessary!

"Alright, let's go to town today."

Su Yu patted Arcanine's head and said.

As soon as it heard that it was time to go out, the caterpillar immediately ran over and took over the spot on its shoulder.

"Hiss~" I want to go too.

Seeing this, Su Yu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He could only say that the caterpillar was still the same as before, unchanged.

She still prefers to follow me.

"Okay, let's go then."

Telling his little sheep to guard the house, Su Yu rode his Growlithe and arrived in town.

I returned to the mall after a long absence, and surprisingly, the person who had been promoting the fitness equipment before was still there.

She also recognized Su Yu and immediately came over to try and sell him her wares.

"Sorry, I don't need gym equipment anymore."

Su Yu politely declined.

Blastoise's strength has now reached the Elite Four level, and those previous fitness equipment are no longer effective for it.

This is also something that troubles Su Yu a lot. Training equipment for Elite Four level Pokémon is not easy to find.

Basically, they all need to be custom-made by a specialist.

"Let's go buy Arcanine a new toy first."

Su Yu took the Gyrocopter upstairs and let it choose one for itself.

"Why don't you pick one out for LaiDianWang too? I'll take it back as a gift for it," Su Yu added.

Since he rarely comes to town, he naturally wants to buy a lot of things.

Upon hearing this, the speeddog became troubled. Compared to choosing a gift for itself, it was even more hesitant about what to give to the electric dog.

After frowning and hesitating for a long time, Arcanine finally raised its paw, pointed to one of the toys, and said:

"Awoo~!" This one will do.

Su Yu nodded after reading it.

"As for the green onion duck... I already gave you a fishing rod before. This time, let's buy a brush for scrubbing its back."

Pushing his shopping cart, Su Yu strolled through the mall. As he passed a certain section, he saw that the mall was promoting some kite-making materials.

Generally, kite flying is done in spring and autumn. It's only mid-August now, so these materials are probably inventory being cleared out by the store.

However, Seagull Town is located by the sea, and even in summer there are sea breezes, so it's not impossible to fly kites.

"Then let's buy more. We can take them back and make kites for the Pokémon."

Looking at these materials, if I buy them all, it will be just enough for the ranch.
