Pokémon: Starting with a Pokémon Ranch.

Chapter 305 Going to Galar, Visiting the Local Ranches

After spending a few days at the ranch, Du approached Su Yu to say that he was leaving.

Just then, Su Yu was also about to set off for Galar with Daigo.

"Have you packed everything? This trip to Galar will probably last for a long time."

Back inside, after a quick urging, Alcremie and the others packed their things.

"Awoo!"

Arcanine even brought its newly bought plush toy with it. It carried the toy to Su Yu's shadow and barked inside.

"Gengar~" Hearing the call, Gengar immediately popped its head out of the shadows. After it opened its mouth wide, Arcanine threw the toy inside.

The Alcremie brought along some tools for making desserts. Galar is said to be the original home of the Alcremie family.

If we go there, we might be able to exchange a lot of experiences.

After all the Pokémon were packed up, Steven arrived at the ranch.

He glanced at Gengar's slightly bulging belly and knew exactly how much stuff was inside.

He said with a smile:

"This time, we don't need to fly. Let's just ride our Pokémon and fly there!"

"I remember the tropical dragons on your ranch; they have the ability to fly across regions."

Upon hearing this, Su Yu nodded.

However, this time he didn't plan to bring the tropical dragon; instead, he intended to change to a different mount.

Their gazes fell upon the caterpillar, which seemed to understand immediately. With a change in form, a majestic little green dragon appeared before them.

If it only maintains flight, the Caterpie can actually stay in its special form for more than three minutes, which Su Yu calls the energy-saving form.

"What?!" Daigo was taken aback by the sight. If he remembered correctly, this caterpillar hadn't shown this ability when it followed him to dig for rocks earlier, had it?

Could it be... that this is something you've only recently mastered?

Sure enough, every time he came, Su Yu could come up with something new.

Faced with Daigo's doubts, Su Yu had already prepared his explanation, and he said:

"This is a newly discovered evolutionary phenomenon called 'Bond Evolution,' which has an effect similar to Mega Evolution."

"Currently, Dr. Odama and I are working on the research, but we haven't made any progress yet, so we haven't released any information."

Su Yu felt that Bratano was probably more of an expert in this kind of thing.

After mounting the Caterpie, Su Yu and his companions set off.

Galar is quite a distance from the Eastern Empire. However, Caterpie and Metagross are both Pokémon with relatively fast flying speeds, and they arrived safely in less than half a day.

The hotel they had booked was located in Hualang Town. It was a town with many ranches and was also Dandi's hometown.

"That's strange. Dan Di clearly said he would meet us at the town gate, so why haven't we seen him yet?"

After letting Metagross land, Steven looked at his phone and asked in confusion.

"...Maybe they got lost," Su Yu guessed casually.

In the game, Leon has a very obvious problem with directions.

Sure enough, after they waited for a while, Dan Di followed a beautifully dressed woman and arrived at the town entrance from the direction of Mugan Town.

"Honestly, I promised to pick up the guests at my doorstep. And yet, I completely forgot the way home..."

"To be honest, your memory is hopeless. It's a good thing you still remember the way to my house, otherwise, I don't know how long I would have kept them waiting."

As they walked, Sonia kept complaining.

Sonia's grandmother was the renowned Magnolia Doctor of Galar. She and Dante were childhood friends.

Listening to Sonia's constant complaining, Leon just smiled. Upon seeing Daigo, he jogged over and shook hands with him.

……

After meeting with Dante, the two champions discussed playing a friendly match.

Su Yu wasn't interested in that at all; he went straight back to the Shy Bud Inn.

"I've heard that the ranches in Hualang Town are quite famous in Galar. Besides that, there's also Yalo Ranch in Caolu Town."

Planning his next visit, Su Yu decided to first go to Hualang Town, where he was currently located.

As soon as the Pokémon were released from their Poké Balls and arrived at the location, the Wooloos stole the Degenerate Honey Cookies from Su Yu's bag and turned back into Wooloos.

In this way, even local sheep can easily blend in.

"You guys certainly have a lot of ideas," Su Yu chuckled.

"Bring along three Woolworths, a Caterpillar, and a Farfetch'd," Su Yu instructed the Farfetch'd.

"One of the reasons I came to Galar is to help you find a way to evolve."

"So from now on, you'd better stay right by my side. Don't accidentally get lost and end up being roasted like a duck."

The octopus martial artist who had previously learned how to barbecue was famous in town for his crispy roast duck. Upon hearing this, the scallion duck immediately shook its head like a leaf, indicating that it would absolutely not leave Su Yu's side.

The first step Su Yu took was to go to the most famous ranch in town.

This appears to be the ranch of Dandy's parents, attracting a large number of tourists every day.

When Su Yu arrived, Dan Di's younger brother, Hep, was chasing a woolly sheep around the orchard.

—Look who's here! A true fan of Woolständer!

Just as Pikachu is to Ash, Wooloo is extremely important to Hop.

In the chaos, Hop's braided sheep accidentally bumped into the three giants of the Su family.

Because of her relatively weak strength, Hoppo sheep collapsed to the ground with a thud. In contrast, the three giants remained completely still.

"Heap, stop chasing Woolstätter around. Instead of wasting time, why don't you help your aunt and uncle more?"

Sonia, carrying four or five boxes of oranges, also came out of the orchard. She was taken aback when she saw Su Yu.

"You're... the one who was just with the Hoenn Champion?"

"Yes, my name is Su Yu, and I am a rancher from Donghuang," Su Yu introduced himself.

He expressed his desire to visit.

Upon hearing this, Sonia nodded and volunteered to be the tour guide.

"Actually, the main feature of the ranches in Galar is that one person works with Pokémon. This phenomenon is even more common in the industrialized Motostoke."

"This is also related to Chairman Loz's guidance of Galar. It can be said that without Chairman Loz, there would be no Galar as prosperous as it is today."

Sonia said as she walked.

With her arrival, Pokémon such as Cottony and Sunflower in the ranch also came out on their own.

It seems that the Pokémon here are all very affectionate towards her.

Nearby, Hop's little lamb was very curious about the three giants and was jumping around excitedly.

After receiving Su Yu's permission, the three giants ran over and started playing with it.
