Pokémon: Starting with a Pokémon Ranch.

Chapter 316 The Efficiency of Rotom Machines, the Dream Arrives

"What are you saying...?"

Upon hearing Rotom's response, the salesperson was both amused and exasperated.

"I've found you a great family! This rancher, Su Yu, is a well-known big shot in the ranch area. In particular, he's also a Champion-level trainer."

"Follow him, and perhaps we can find a way to get you out."

"Fine, then sell me here, Rotom... Anyway, I'm just a piece of junk occupying the company warehouse." Rotom's tone remained negative.

Seeing this, Su Yu said half-jokingly, "Hey, can I cut off its power? Or after it comes here, can I not charge it and force it to provide its own power to work?"

"No, Loto! Being forced to work when you're not well-fed won't make you efficient!"

Rotom said righteously.

Seemingly to prove its worth, it immediately began operating various robotic arms and busied itself in the greenhouse.

Its original form was specialized agricultural equipment. After pairing it with such a smart Pokémon, the company felt it was worth experimenting with and subsequently made various modifications, installing many machines on it.

When we get to work now, it's naturally fast and efficient.

"Blastoise has a new competitor now..." Su Yu remarked upon seeing this.

Blastoise was very proud of its position as the top farmer on the ranch.

In that case, this position may need to be changed.

After discussing it with the salesperson, Su Yu paid the price.

"Welcome to visit us again!" After leaving his business card, the salesman left the ranch.

Looking at the business card in his hand, Su Yu felt that he might actually have another chance to buy it.

After all, technology changes lives, and you can never have too many smart devices.

When he turned around, Slowking was holding the instruction manual, examining Rotom's various functions.

While watching, they also shared their various ideas.

"Wow, I heard this machine can operate 24 hours a day, except for charging. I think I can work on it for ten days straight to test its quality."

"Beep beep, I don't understand, I don't understand..."

Upon hearing Slowking's idea, Rotom looked utterly bewildered and completely confused.

Seeing this, Su Yu knew that Rotom no longer needed his training; Slowking would handle it. Back inside, he leisurely turned on the television.

……

With Rotom's help, the planting speed in the greenhouse increased significantly.

The Alcremie and the others watched the Farming King with curiosity as it moved back and forth in the greenhouse. Before long, the area was fully planted.

"Beep beep, the optimal time for the next watering is estimated to be 17 hours later."

Despite his complaints, Rotom was still very enthusiastic about his work.

Seeing this, Su Yu felt it was necessary to build a charging station on the ranch so that Rotom could easily recharge.

Leaving Rotom busy with his own affairs, Su Yu left the ranch and went to town.

Today, he came to pick up the batch of mobile phones he had ordered earlier.

With so many phones, there's no need to decide ownership through battles like before.

As he left, on the ranch...

A small, pink Pokémon with a long tail quietly arrived at the ranch.

"Reggie?"

The three Divine Pillars, who were playing hide-and-seek, spotted Him. They looked up curiously and asked a question.

"Mew~"

Mew was delighted to see its three kin, the three guardians of the house. It fluttered around and played with the three pillars, just as Dedric, who was in charge of catching people, found them.

"Knock knock~!" You've all been caught by me.

Upon hearing this, Dream looked at Dongdong Mouse with a puzzled expression. What are you guys playing?

"Knock knock!" It's like playing hide-and-seek.

"That's perfectly natural," said Dongdong Mouse.

So, you're coming to play too?

"Mew~!" Mew fluttered happily and nodded.

Although it didn't know what that thing was, it liked playing with Pokémon.

……

When Su Yu returned, Dream was already playing happily with the Drummers.

They were playing a game called "Red Light, Green Light," but when they saw Su Yu return, Meng Huan immediately hid behind a tree and cautiously looked over.

"...That's...a dream?"

Su Yu was not surprised to see the dream.

After all, Groudon has already visited the ranch, so it's not surprising that Mew would come too.

Letting them continue playing, Su Yu returned to the house and began preparing dinner.

When dinner time came, smelling the delicious aroma coming from inside the house, Dream, who had been hiding outside, finally couldn't resist the temptation and flew in.

Upon closer inspection, Su Yu had already added a bowl and chopsticks for Him. The empty seat on the table was clearly prepared for Him.

"You've arrived, Dreamland? Sit down and have some dinner with us," Su Yu invited.

"Mew~" Hearing this, Mew nodded happily. But after sitting down, it found that its arms were too short to reach the bowls and chopsticks on the table.

Changing its form, it transformed directly into the shape of Blastoise. Now, its arms were long enough.

This sudden change startled the surrounding Pokémon.

"Mama?!" You can actually transform into other Pokémon?!

Seeing their surprise, Dream covered her mouth and chuckled mischievously, finally nodding.

This piqued the interest of the Pokémon, who chattered excitedly with questions. Finally, Su Yu spoke up:

"Alright, let Dream eat first. We can discuss anything after dinner."

Upon hearing this, the Pokémon gave up.

After finishing their meal, Mew played with the Pokémon for a while before transforming into Abra and using Teleport to leave the ranch.

"Where is Dream?" As it was nearing bedtime, Su Yu went outside, but did not see Him.

After hearing the explanation from the Alcremie, Su Yu nodded in understanding.

"It looks like they've gone back to the World Tree."

After transforming into a specific Pokémon, Mew can use all the moves that the other Pokémon knows, as long as it has seen the other Pokémon and knows its template.

This is also the most buggy aspect of Mew: in other words, if He has seen Groudon, He can transform into Groudon and use the Precipice Blade.

……

For the next few days, Dream came during the day and went back at night.

Su Yu was curious as to why He had suddenly come to the ranch, since there were so many ranches in the pastoral area. After asking, Dream pointed to the Sky Tree.

"Because of...that tree?"

"Mew." Dream nodded.

The wave pattern emitted by this tree bears many similarities to that of the World Tree from back then. That's why it attracted Mew, who was playing nearby.

After getting to know each other for so many days, Meng Huan wanted to create a spatial passage between the two trees. She just didn't know if Su Yu would agree.

Upon hearing this, Su Yu naturally welcomed the idea. This meant the ranch would now have a direct express route to Kanto.

In response, Dream said that He needed a few days to prepare.
