Pokémon: Starting with a Pokémon Ranch.

Chapter 332 Dragonite Moving House 2, Pot of Fear

"Fuu~"

Under Su Yu's guidance, Dragonair and the others quickly became familiar with the Pokémon on the ranch.

Especially those Pokémon that also like to live in water, such as Slowpoke and Poliwag.

They frolicked and played with each other in Moon Lake, summoning wind and rain.

Just then, Dongdong Mouse also ran over. It possessed the power of lightning, and its arrival brought forth flashes of lightning and thunder.

Accompanied by this accompaniment, the mosquito coil frogs also joined in with their loud singing. For a moment, Moon Lake was filled with all sorts of noise.

Seeing this, the goofy Dragonite quickly flew over to stop them. It put its hands on its hips and scolded the Dragonairs.

"Fuwu..."

The Hakronds, like children being scolded by adults, lowered their heads and didn't dare to utter a sound.

After all, Dragonite is really like an elder to them.

That evening.

While Su Yu was making dinner, the Dragonite and the others went out to sea in groups to fish and pick fruit.

They also knew that they couldn't rely on Su Yu for everything. After arriving at the ranch, they sometimes had to fend for themselves for dinner.

This surprised Su Yu greatly. He said:

"That's strange. Didn't I help you plant fruit trees all over Dragon Island before?"

"Pop..." The clumsy Dragonite scratched its head sheepishly, because these Dragonites were too clumsy to know how to take care of the fruit trees.

Therefore, after Su Yu planted those fruit trees, the fruit they produced was basically not enough to eat.

"...Actually, it's because you guys eat too much, isn't it?" Su Yu complained.

When they were first planted, the little sheep's abilities were only enough to encourage the fruit trees to grow to the point where they could bear fruit.

Su Yu originally thought that even so, the fruit produced should be enough to eat. Once the fruit trees grew larger, the Dragonite would have no worries about food and drink.

Unexpectedly, the output was still insufficient.

After thinking for a moment, Su Yu said:

"In that case, let's leave it at that..."

"After that, select a few Dragonite from your Dragonite clan that are interested in planting and bring them to me. I will teach them how to manage the orchard."

"I remember back then, I wasn't very good at managing the orchard, and it was Anna who taught me in the end."

Dragonite scratched its cheek and nodded.

Back in the kitchen, Su Yu wondered if he should train a professional team of chefs as the number of Pokémon on the ranch increased.

Although Slowking's Stand and Rotom can help him with kitchen tasks, they aren't professionals and can only lend a hand most of the time.

If we're talking about professionalism, the staff from Sinnoh are a good choice. Hmm, I can teach them how to cook sometime.

……

The next day.

Last night, Caterpie settled Dragonite and the others in the Sky Tree.

Looking up at the trees now, you can see one or two Dragonite from time to time, weaving through them.

They tended to the branches and leaves of the tree and stood guard around it, protecting the tree.

The Hakronosaurus all went to Moon Lake early in the morning, where they frolicked and played.

"Pop~" Upon seeing Su Yu, several of the selected fruit farmer dragons immediately flew over. They landed slowly in front of Su Yu and stood in a neat row.

The one leading the pack was, surprisingly, that goofy Dragonite.

Seeing this, Su Yu took out the straw hats he had prepared beforehand and put them on the Dragonite one by one. Then he took them to the orchard to begin their practical lesson.

As for Dragonite, Su Yu felt that the requirements didn't need to be as complicated as for humans; just some simple knowledge that it could remember would suffice.

After finishing his morning classes, Su Yu let them play as they pleased in the afternoon.

Upon hearing "School's out," the Dragonite immediately flew away happily. Some went back to the Sky Tree, while others went to the sea to play with their companions.

A large group of Dragonite had already gathered there. They were playing and frolicking with each other, and it was clear that the Dragonite really liked the sea.

"Speaking of which, it seems I could also buy the entire beach near the ranch?"

Seeing this, Su Yu pondered.

Originally, the ranch was right next to the sea, but many ranchers were unwilling to buy this stretch of beach along the coast.

After buying the property on the back mountain, Su Yu hadn't made any large expenditures for a long time. Now, he had saved up quite a bit of money.

"I'll ask Lu Li another day," Su Yu thought.

He was about to go back inside when Uncle Yang rode by on his armored rhinoceros, carrying a cart full of porcelain shards.

Seeing this, Su Yu asked curiously:

"Uncle Yang, what is this?"

"You mean all of these I'm pulling behind me? Ugh, don't even mention them," Uncle Yang said dejectedly.

"These are porcelain pieces I bought because I thought they were pretty. I figured since they were cheap and there were so many, surely some of them would be genuine?"

"I never expected it to be fake, all of it was fake. Now, I'm just about to take these to town to see if I can sell them and recoup some of my costs."

Wow, so you bought it hoping to get lucky?

Uncle Yang, you're really brave to buy so much at once!

"There seems to be a 'Fountain Pot' in here, Uncle Yang. Did you buy that too?"

Su Yu pulled a flask from the car and asked.

However, Uncle Yang shook his head blankly. Does such a thing exist? How come he didn't know about it?

Su Yu: "Then it seems they must have sneaked in while you weren't looking."

The Pokémon Potato Head has a particular fondness for sneaking into people's teapots when they're not looking. As a result, it's quite unpopular in some places.

Seeing that Uncle Yang didn't want to take him in, Su Yu left the Fearful Pot behind. He waved goodbye to Uncle Yang, and before he knew it, the Fearful Pot was trying to sneak away.

Just then, the Crowned Queen emerged from the greenhouse. In its panic, the Pot of Bhut ran to His feet.

The already timid teapot became even more afraid to move upon seeing this king. It shrank back into the teapot, trembling with fear.

King Lacecrown was curious. He picked up the teapot, glanced at it, and asked:

"Is there really a Pokémon in this world with a teapot as its body? I've never seen one before."

"Perhaps it's because you hadn't invented the teapot back then," Su Yu said.

He originally intended to let the Poltergeist go. But to his surprise, after seeing the Calyrex, the Poltergeist decided not to leave.

"What? You want to stay?" Su Yu was very surprised.

To this, Bu Si Hu nodded.

Feeling the loving gaze of the Crowned King, it poked its head out of the teapot. For a moment, it suddenly felt that staying by the side of this king wasn't so bad after all.

"...Whatever you want then."

Su Yu was speechless for a moment.

Upon hearing that this Pokémon dreamed of following her, Calyrex smiled.

He already loved black tea, and the addition of the teapot might bring some enjoyment to His tea-drinking life.

After placing the Spectrum Pot back on the ground, Su Yu of the Spectrum Dynasty said:

"Speaking of which, Su Yu, after drinking tea for so long, I suddenly feel like I want to grow my own."

"I just wonder... if I could plant some in the greenhouse?"
