Pokémon: Starting with a Pokémon Ranch.

Chapter 339 Onion Soldier vs. Knight Snail, A Duel Between Knights

They returned to the ranch carrying large and small bags.

The messenger bird beside it was also carrying many things.

After helping it unload its things, Su Yu thanked it. Then he called over a porter for help.

Most of them were sent to cold storage, and after that, Su Yu installed a projector.

Unlike before when there wasn't enough space in the house, now he can install it directly inside.

During the installation, the Queen of the Crowns also took a curious look.

Su Yu explained:

"This is called a projector. If you want to watch TV, you need a large device like this."

"I bought several of these, and I plan to install them in other places as well. Sky restaurants, greenhouses, anything goes. Mainly, they're for creating a lively atmosphere."

Upon hearing this, King Rai-Crowned nodded. He asked:

"Could you also install one at the Weimei Forest location?"

"Of course, no problem," Su Yu replied immediately with a smile.

Meanwhile, on the other side...

After the Sword and Shield duo returned to the Forest of Slumber, the Farfetch'd continued to practice his sword skills every day.

When he left, Zacian learned that Serissa Jenny's inner power was light, so he said:

"Have unwavering faith in the light within you, and perhaps you can transform it completely into the power of your swordsmanship. One day, it will play a vital role."

"Huh?" The light in my heart?

While listening, Cong Youbing felt completely bewildered. However, Cang Xiang gave him a meaningful look and turned to walk into the spatial passage.

What does that mean...?

After pondering for several days, Cong Youbing still can't figure it out; it's too much of a riddle.

After resting on the ground for a while with his legs paralyzed, Cong Youbing picked up his sword and shield and decided to continue practicing.

Just then, a knight snail wandered into the pasture.

This Pokémon has steel armor covering its entire body and is especially brave and skilled in battle.

In Galar, there is a legend that the Knight Snail and the Onion Knight will duel whenever they meet.

"Gah..."

Upon seeing the Knight Snail, Onion Soldier's gaze turned serious. It could sense that the other party was also a seasoned and powerful warrior.

If they were to actually fight, the outcome would be uncertain.

The Knight Snail also sized up the duck in front of it. It only felt that the duck's equipment seemed quite luxurious.

Especially that sword and shield set, it looked gleaming gold, like something out of a legendary royal knight's outfit. A Pokémon wielding such weapons must be incredibly powerful.

"Su!"

But this is exactly what the Knight Snail wants; what it desires is to challenge the strong.

Therefore, it brandished the spear-like blade formed by its arm and issued a duel notice to the Onion Warrior.

"Gah..." Is it really necessary to fight?

It's not that Onion Soldier is afraid to fight, but after the battle, it still has to take good care of Onion Sword and restore it to its best condition, which is quite troublesome.

However, if the other party wants to fight, it has no choice but to oblige.

As soon as the fight broke out, Su Yu heard the commotion outside.

"This is……"

He went outside and witnessed the duel.

"Duels between knights? In my time, that was quite common," King Rachel said, leaning against the railing with a smile.

"Who do you think will win, Su Yu?"

Just as the Crowned King asked the question, the Knight Snail struck the Onion Soldier in the chest with a lance, knocking it back several steps.

Taking advantage of the Shallot's instability and disarray, the Knight Snail quickly pursued and unleashed a storm of attacks that left the Shallot overwhelmed.

After managing to block the attack, Cong Youbing dodged and created distance between himself and Cong Ren, who was standing still, panting heavily.

It appears that it has completely fallen into a disadvantageous position. If it continues like this, defeat is only a matter of time.

"Gah..." Wow, that's really strong. The opponent's strength far surpasses mine.

Cong Youbing thought to himself.

The commotion from the battle caught Alcremie's attention. Seeing the Pokémon fighting, it rushed over to stop them.

The Knight Snail chuckled and waved its hand, signaling the Alcremie to step aside. It then charged forward, ready to continue the battle.

It had seen this kind of weak Pokémon when it was training in Galar; it basically had no fighting power.

Seeing itself being underestimated, Alcremie got angry. It immediately Gigantamaxed, transforming into a giant cake tens of meters tall. The dark purple clouds overhead indicated that it was extremely angry.

Caught off guard, the Knight Snail accidentally stabbed the cake with its gun; it was not intentional.

It thought that Alcremie would simply dodge, but unexpectedly, the opponent suddenly grew larger.

Gigantamax Alcremie possesses powerful defense against physical attacks. Instantly, Escavalier was repelled by its own force.

"Su..." So strong!

After rolling around on the ground several times, the Knight Snail looked completely bewildered.

Aren't these Pokémon usually quite weak in Galar? Why were they able to easily block my attacks?

……

The interrupted duel was ultimately counted as a draw.

The Knight Snail was clearly unconvinced, but it would have many more opportunities to fight the Onion Soldier later. Sooner or later, it would have a chance to settle the score.

"Then you can stay on the ranch for a few more days," Su Yu said with a smile.

In this way, Congyoubing will have a sparring partner when he practices swordsmanship.

"Su!" The Knight Snail nodded, took out a tag from its body, and handed it to Su Yu.

Su Yu took it and saw that it was Knight Snail's personal information.

"You actually have a Pokémon with a trainer? But now you're training alone out there?" Su Yu asked in surprise after looking at the sign.

No wonder this knight snail is so strong.

"But how could your trainer be so carefree as to let your Pokémon run around alone?"

Halfway through his sentence, Su Yu realized something was wrong. Because this was exactly how he treated Hoopa and the others!

At first, he was quite at ease letting Hoopa take Jirachi on his journey. Given the strength of this Knight Snail, it was understandable that its owner felt reassured.

After talking with the Knight Snail for a while, Su Yu also arranged a room for it at the Sky Tree.

After successfully staying on the ranch, it began to explore the area. Meanwhile, after its sword practice was interrupted, Onion Soldier ran to the field and is now tending to the onions.

"su??"

Upon seeing this, the Knight Snail was utterly astonished. What's going on? Aren't you a swordsman? Why are you farming now?

The reason for this is a long story. While tending to the scallions, Cong Youbing told them his past stories.

……

For the next few days, the Knight Snail stayed on the ranch and often sparred with the Onion Soldier.

And time flew by, and December arrived in the blink of an eye.

Karuno boarded a plane and arrived in a major city in the Eastern Empire. As soon as she landed, many fans rushed to the airport to greet her.

Karuno smiled and nodded in acknowledgment. After getting into the car, she instructed the driver to head to Seagull Town first.

At the same time, Su Yu was just milking the lamb he was riding.

Upon receiving Xin Dong's notification, he was taken aback and said:

"What? Karuno is heading straight for me?"

"Yes, she asked her driver to come here as soon as she got off the plane. We just found out about her itinerary."

"Her original reason for entering the country was to find filming locations. Perhaps she's eyeing your ranch?"

Xin Dong replied.
