Pokémon: Starting with a Pokémon Ranch.

Chapter 324 The Great Statue of the Crowned Queen, Praising the Name of God

"Dream, come on over too."

Seeing that Fantasy Westward Journey was getting a little tired, Su Yu called out to him.

Upon hearing this, Dream nodded, and after landing on the picnic blanket, picked up a sandwich and ate it by herself.

Su Yu ate while chatting with Suicune. At this moment, Suicune told him about Ho-Oh.

"You mean... Ho-Oh wants to visit my ranch?"

Su Yu felt that his home was almost becoming a hostel for mythical beasts.

Groudon, Mew, Suicune...

With nothing much to do each day, mythical beasts would come to visit, and he would be in charge of entertaining them.

However, this wasn't a bad thing, and he agreed:

"Sure, you should remember the way, right? You can come with Him then."

Upon hearing this, Suijun nodded.

Bejeweled, standing to the side, was curious about Ho-Oh's story. Su Yu knew that Ho-Oh had been staying in Galar for tens of thousands of years and was definitely unaware of this.

Therefore, he also told Him the whole story in detail.

After hearing the story, Calyrex nodded in surprise. It was unexpected that such a legendary Pokémon lived in another place.

He replied:

"Su Yu, thank you. This visit has broadened my horizons considerably."

"Indeed, both people and Pokémon need to travel around. Otherwise, they'll easily become isolated from information."

……

The picnic lasted all afternoon at the top of the World Tree.

As dusk approached, Su Yu packed up his things and returned to the ranch with the Pokémon.

When he got back, Su Yu thought he still needed to make dinner. But when he finished and returned to the living room, he found that Meng Huan had also come over at some point.

"Huh, what brings you here too?" Su Yu asked in surprise.

"Wow~" The internet speed here is fast, there's air conditioning, and I can even use someone else's phone to play games, so of course I had to come along.

It was expressed in a dreamy and cheerful tone.

"That seems to be true..." Su Yu nodded speechlessly.

If you all love playing video games this much, why don't you just form a Pokémon esports team?

……

The next day.

With the help of a porter, Su Yu moved a large piece of timber from the town.

Holding his carpenter's tools, Su Yu continued hammering and chiseling. Just then, the Crowned Queen happened to pass by.

"Su Yu, what are you doing?"

"Hmm, it's the Lady Crown! I'm trying to make a wooden carving for you, like the one at the entrance of Frozen Village."

Su Yu answered.

Making wood carvings was the best way Su Yu could think of to leave a lasting impression of the Queen of the Brilliant Crown.

After all, people may forget, but objects do not. Even after a hundred years of glory, many objects can still retain their original appearance.

These words surprised King Lace Crown, but He quickly understood what Su Yu meant.

This deeply moved Him. This rancher was indeed completely different from other humans; he was genuinely thinking of Him.

Unfortunately, He wasn't skilled in woodworking and couldn't help Su Yu. Therefore, He could only stand aside and watch Su Yu carve.

Before long, the statue took shape. Su Yu sculpted the image of the Crowned King riding a white horse.

During this time, some people from the pastoral area passed by. Seeing Su Yu carving, they curiously gathered around.

"Brother Su, what are you doing?"

"Sculpting!"

Seeing their curiosity, Su Yu felt that this could be a good opportunity for publicity.

So he said:

"The power of the Crowned King actually comes from the emotions in people's hearts. The more people recite His name, the stronger His power becomes, and the more He can bless the pastoral areas with bountiful harvests year after year!"

"Therefore, I plan to build a statue to commemorate the great name of the Crested King."

"Really? Isn't that similar to the gods we used to worship?" someone asked.

"Of course it's true. You've all witnessed the power of the Lacecrown King. Worshipping Him is definitely worthwhile."

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement. They discussed whether they should also make a wooden carving to present to King Rai-Crowned.

Before long, the news reached the town mayor.

After the arrival of the Crowned King, the mayor clearly felt that the town's development had improved. Upon hearing that there was such a method, the mayor immediately rushed to Su Yu Ranch.

It was already the second day. After Su Yu had roughly carved the shape of the wood carving, he still needed to do a long period of fine-tuning.

Just as they were about to get to work with their tools, the town mayor came over and said:

"Su Yu! Several people have come to me today, saying they want me to arrange for the distribution of Crested Crown wood carvings to the ranchers in town."

"I'd like to ask what your thoughts are?"

Su Yu was surprised that someone would actually approach the town mayor directly. However, he was naturally eager to help in this matter.

"I just didn't know... that's what the Rachelon said."

Thinking this, Su Yu summoned the Queen of the Buds.

Hearing of the town's warm welcome, Crane Queen was deeply moved. Truly, if only she had been born in the Eastern Realm instead of Galar…

Compared to the Galatians, the Eastern Huang people were truly good to Him!

With a wave of his hand, King Brilliant cultivated a pile of fine timber, which he then handed over to the mayor. This timber, blessed by Him, would ensure that if placed in a household, the family would rarely fall ill throughout the year.

After obtaining the timber, the mayor immediately returned to town.

After that, Su Yu spent another two days meticulously sculpting the statue.

"Finally...it's finished!"

"It took me so long, my back is killing me."

On the day of completion, Su Yu also celebrated.

Upon hearing this, all the Pokémon in the ranch gathered around. They looked at the statue with curiosity; Su Yu's woodworking was indeed excellent, as he had sculpted Calyrex riding a horse in a lifelike manner.

Moreover, the statue is very large, standing a full three meters tall, and looks extremely majestic.

"Mama?" Since it's so hard, what's the purpose of sculpting this statue?

"Ice Cream Fairy asked in confusion."

Taking this opportunity, Su Yu also described to them what the Crowned King looked like when it lost its faith.

And he said:

"Therefore, you must always remember the Calycerin King. Even your descendants must constantly remind them and make them come and pay homage to this statue."

"In this way, even if I am gone, the faith of the Rachelon King will not disappear."

"Mama..." Su Yu, you won't die!

"Probably, haha." Su Yu replied casually upon hearing Frost Fairy's words.

But whether that day will ever come, he can't really say for sure. Everything he's doing now is just preparing for the worst.

After that, Su Yu bought a stone platform and placed the statue on it.

When he returned, many passersby had come to pay their respects. In front of the statue, many offerings were placed.

This was unexpected for Su Yu, but these offerings... were indeed given to King Lei Guan, so he had worshipped the right god.

I wonder if King Rai-crown will grant them more blessings after seeing these offerings?
