Pokémon: Starting with a Pokémon Ranch.

Chapter 312 Groudon Arrives, Legendary Pokémon's Cooking Order

Meanwhile, on the other side...

After learning the news, Hupa and his group went to the Chimney Mountain area.

They arrived at a valley after asking a local hunting swallowtail butterfly.

At this moment, hot air is constantly rising from this valley, and large amounts of lava are flowing on the ground.

In the center of the valley, there was a giant red Pokémon. It was curled up there, seemingly asleep.

"That...is that what they call a shooting star?"

Hupa looked at the hunting swallowtail butterfly.

Beautifly nodded in agreement. Just a few days ago, it had witnessed a shooting star fall and eventually transform into this Pokémon.

"This big guy looks like he's not to be trifled with," Hoopa said, scratching his head.

Just then, Groudon seemed to have just woken up. He raised his head, staring with his large, bell-like eyes, as if asking Hoopa and the others what they had come for.

Hoopa then explained:

"Um... big guy, we're the Pokémon from the Wish Expedition Team, we're here to help other Pokémon fulfill their wishes."

"Do any of you have any wishes you'd like us to fulfill?"

Groudon: "Roar?"

Wishes, for you little ones?

Groudon scoffed. How dare these tiny creatures presume to grant my wish?

However, Groudon, intending to just chat casually, also expressed His wish.

If Groudon's greatest wish were to possess the power to defeat his enemy, it would undoubtedly be to have the strength to do so. The sea and the land have been locked in a struggle for countless ages, yet the outcome remains uncertain.

This answer left Huba scratching his head in disbelief.

This behemoth looks incredibly powerful. Even draining all of Little Base's energy reserves wouldn't necessarily be enough to enhance its strength.

How can His wish be fulfilled?

Hupa started to have a headache.

As he pondered this, he couldn't help but think of Su Yu. Those wondrous dishes could even enhance his spatial power.

"I've got it. Let me teleport you somewhere. The people there will definitely have a way to enhance you."

As he spoke, Hupa pulled out the light wheel.

"Roar?" Really?

Groudon was skeptical, but with the thought of giving it a try, he followed into the halo.

Meanwhile, at the ranch...

Su Yu was harvesting hay under the Sky Tree.

Not far away, the Butterfly Cubs followed suit, trying to help with their moves.

Suddenly, a halo of light opened up in the ranch.

"Is this... Hoopa back?"

Seeing the halo, Su Yu was very puzzled.

The next moment, a huge red figure emerged from the halo, followed by Hoopa.

"Good heavens, Groudon?!"

What's this big oaf doing on the ranch?

Groudon made no attempt to conceal its scent. This caused panic among the mosquito coils, who jumped out of the pond, only to find the water suddenly scalding hot.

Seeing this, Su Yu quickly stepped forward to stop Groudon from radiating heat further. Hearing this, Groudon stopped and looked at Su Yu curiously.

"Huh?" You're the one who's supposedly really good at cooking?

Hearing this, Su Yu looked at Hu Pa with a puzzled expression. After receiving the explanation, he instantly realized that the problem was somewhat tricky.

The struggle between land and sea has indeed been going on for a long time. But if he takes sides and helps one side, it could have serious consequences.

But not helping doesn't seem like an option either. Groudon and Kyogre are definitely going to fight when they return. That will inevitably have a huge impact on Hoenn's climate.

After thinking for a moment, Su Yu finally said:

"I can cook for you, no problem. But you must promise that next time you fight Kyogre, you'll keep the impact to a minimum."

"I will only help you if you can do this."

Upon hearing this, Groudon nodded happily. He indicated that he would definitely discuss the next battle with Kyogre beforehand.

Having received Groudon's assurance, Su Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief. He then said:

"Besides that, you also need to provide the ingredients for cooking. And you'll have to pay me for my labor as well."

"But I don't need much. If you can help me expand the ranch, that will be enough."

The Sky Tree has grown increasingly large. Recently, Su Yu has been considering moving it out of the area.

With the help of Hoopa's spatial abilities, Groudon can easily expand its ranch. By combining the two, the ranch's area can be expanded, but it can still remain within the original size of the ranch.

In this way, it will not encroach on the space of other pastures in the pastoral area.

Upon hearing this, Groudon readily agreed. He explained that he had been sleeping in the pastures for some time now.

Su Yu then asked Hoopa to expand the space first. After completing this task, Hoopa expressed its desire to return to Hoenn.

"Wait a minute, remember to take these puff pastries with you and share them with your friends."

As he spoke, Su Yu brought over a bamboo basket of poppies.

Taking the basket and activating the light wheel, Hoopa instantly returned to Hoenn.

Meanwhile, Jirachi and the others were still waiting in the same spot. Seeing Hoopa return, they asked curiously:

"How did things go? Can Su Yu help?"

"Mana?"

"Don't worry, Pig Feather is very powerful." Huba waved his hand.

He reached out and lifted the cloth covering the bamboo basket, and the aroma of beaufrede immediately wafted around.

This made the Manaphy animals, who had never seen it before, drool.

"Eat up, take it all! Su Yu's cooking is the best among humans!"

"At the ranch, he would cook all sorts of delicious food for us every day. He was really good to Pokémon," Hoopa said.

Upon hearing this, Manaphy and the Hunting Swallowtail both reached out their hands. While eating, Manaphy also imagined what the ranch would look like.

It must be a very beautiful place, full of friendly, unfamiliar Pokémon, right?

This made it really want to go to that ranch and see what it was like.

"Mana~!" Manaphy immediately told Hoopa her thoughts.

However, Hoopa shook his head at this, displaying his authority as captain, and said:

"No, we're still traveling, how can we go back to the ranch and stay there for long?"

"After we've finished visiting the next region, I'll take you back then. You can stay there as long as you want, and Su Yu definitely won't refuse."

This time, Hoopa plans to visit three regions to complete a long trip.

……

Over the next few days, at the ranch.

With Groudon's help, the ranch was completely expanded by filling it with lava.

These lands have been specially transformed by Groudon into a landscape suitable for crop growth, no different from ordinary soil.

Blastoise and its minions also continuously sprinkle water on this land to promote plant growth.

After that, Groudon found a place to sleep, waiting for Su Yu to prepare a suitable dish.

Su Yu obtained several Groudon scales, which he used as ingredients for cooking.

This time, he doesn't plan to make any special dishes. He doesn't want Groudon to become too strong and give Kyogre a good beating.

After all, it's unknown whether Rayquaza has arrived yet. If the land and sea become unbalanced, then no one will be able to stop it.

"That doesn't seem so. With my current strength, plus the divine beast I can shake, it doesn't seem like there would be much of a problem if these two fought?"

Suicune and Calyrex are always ready to arrive. In addition, there are the three legendary Titans and Hoopa, all powerful allies.

"To be honest, at first, I just wanted to be an ordinary rancher..."

Su Yu sighed.
