Pokémon: Starting with a Pokémon Ranch.

Chapter 34 Buying Furniture

He put all the Pokémon into a Poké Ball, leaving only Farfetch'd and Tropius outside.

Su Yu climbed onto the tropical dragon's back and asked the Farfetch'd:

"Can you fly, or do you need a tropical dragon to take you there?"

Since Farfetch'd wasn't a Pokémon that Su Yu caught, he didn't have any Poké Balls that Farfetch'd could use.

Generally speaking, wild Farfetch'd are mostly Flying or Normal type. However, Galarian Farfetch'd seems to only have the Fighting type and may not necessarily be Flying.

Therefore, Su Yu had no idea whether the giant onion duck in front of him could fly.

"Gah~!"

Upon hearing this, Farfetch'd waved its hand, indicating that it could fly on its own.

—Is that a regular Farfetch'd with flying attributes?

Su Yu thought to himself, "That seems a bit of a pity. It appears that only Farfetch'd in its Galar form can evolve into Sirfetch'd."

"Let's go then, Tropical Dragon. Let's go to the town's power supply station first and submit an application to reactivate the power."

With that, Su Yu patted the tropical dragon's neck, indicating that it was ready to take off.

After receiving the signal, the tropical dragon flapped the leaves on its back and slowly took off.

To wait for Farfetch'd, the tropical dragon deliberately flew a little slower, and they slowly flew towards the town.

……

I paid over 20,000 Union Coins at the town's power supply station.

The power company stated that someone would come to Su Yu's ranch to connect the electricity and install a meter within the next few days.

"How do I pay the electricity bill? I can't possibly come all the way to town to pay it every time, can I?"

"For specific details, you can contact your local postman; they can also handle electricity bill collection. You can ask them."

Can you do this?

Su Yu thought of the mailman who had come this morning, something he hadn't expected.

However, this postman would come at least once a month to deliver the monthly newspaper, and the next time you asked him would be next month.

Therefore, Su Yu paid more than 1,000 League Coins for electricity on the spot. Since there were no Electric-type Pokémon at home, this amount of electricity should be enough for two or three months.

After visiting the power supply station, Su Yu went to the place where he had seen the advertisement for home appliances in the newspaper.

This looks like a shopping mall; once you enter, you're greeted by a dazzling array of goods.

Unfortunately, Tropius was too large to be allowed in the shop, so he had to put it in a Poké Ball. Left with no other option, Su Yu put Tropius away.

"Everyone, come out and see what you want, but be careful not to stray too far from me."

After entering the store, Su Yu released all the Pokémon from their Poké Balls and said this.

Upon hearing this, the Pokémon scattered, while Su Yu looked at the items alone.

"Hmm... TV, refrigerator, and washing machine are definitely things we need to buy. Let's go take a look at those first."

Su Yu thought to himself that once electricity was connected, he would no longer have to live that primitive life as before.

When I have free time, I can watch TV, which is a pretty good form of entertainment in this era before smartphones are widely available.

Seeing Su Yu head towards the television area, Growlithe and Alcremie followed him from somewhere. Alcremie recognized the television, but Growlithe didn't, so Su Yu explained:

"This thing is called a television. It's something that allows you to watch images. If you have a signal, you can watch many TV programs."

"Mama~"

Alcremie knew a lot about televisions and immediately picked out a very large one. Su Yu also thought the television was quite good. Its size was enough to fill an entire wall of a large living room!

Watching movies on such a big TV must be a really great experience.

"But our house is still too small. Let's buy a small one for now and buy a bigger one next time."

"Considering the small house at home," Su Yu said helplessly.

Upon hearing this, Alcremie didn't object. She knew that Su Yu had been saving money recently, wanting to build a bigger new house.

"Mama~" Then this one will do.

Frost Fairy picked out a smaller one for Su Yu.

"Hmm, this is good."

Su Yu expressed his agreement.

He immediately went to pay, and the saleswoman said:

"Okay, sir, your TV will be delivered by the mall's dedicated logistics. Please wait a few days."

"Okay, please hurry."

After watching TV, Su Yu took a look at the washing machine and refrigerator. There were no problems with those two; they were sufficient.

Su Yu has higher requirements for refrigerators, after all, he has so many Pokémon at home and he also cooks often.

As for the washing machine... normally, only Su Yu's clothes need to be washed.

Before this, Su Yu always washed his clothes by hand. He sweated a lot while working on the ranch every day, and it was impossible not to wash. But hand washing was too much trouble for a lazy person.

"Ah... finally I can live a life without having to wash my hands..."

Su Yu said happily as he lay down on the massage chair in the mall, feeling very comfortable.

At that moment, Growlithe, who had been missing for a long time, brought over a chew toy and placed it on Su Yu's lap.

"What's wrong? Do you want to buy this?"

Su Yu asked, puzzled.

"Woof!"

Upon hearing this, Growlithe nodded; this toy, specially designed for Pokémon puppies, seemed perfect for it.

"You're really... a real dog. It's okay, I didn't mean to insult you, don't misunderstand."

As he spoke, Su Yu placed the small toy into the shopping cart next to him.

Growlithe: o_0

And right now, the shopping cart is piled high with these kinds of things:

The various seasonings and ingredients brought by Alcremie, the small toys that Growlithe wanted to buy, a bag of special Pokémon dog food that Growlithe wanted to try, some high-sweetness berries that Tropius liked, and some daily necessities such as laundry detergent, toothpaste, and scouring pads.

In addition, there are some Bug-type Pokémon-exclusive mulberry leaves that Caterpie wants. These mulberry leaves seem to be quite famous, and many Bug-type Pokémon trainers recommend them.

It's a pity he couldn't get the seeds, otherwise Su Yu could have planted the mulberry trees directly on his own farm. With the help of the environmental modification liquid, these mulberry trees might have become even more magical.

"Wait a minute, the place where this product comes from... seems to be in the western part of the pastoral area?"

On the packaging of the mulberry leaves, Su Yu saw a familiar place name. Perhaps these mulberry leaves were a specialty product from a ranch owned by a rancher in the pastoral area.

"Let's ask Uncle Yang which rancher it is when we get back."

Su Yu thought to himself.

Pushing the shopping cart, Su Yu glanced at the lighting fixtures again. Now that the farm had electricity, the old kerosene lamp was no longer needed, so it was time to buy a new set of lights.

Su Yu randomly picked a set of lights and decided to install them himself.

After all, he had worked as a laborer in his previous life, so he could handle this kind of thing.

"What are you doing here?"

Pushing the shopping cart forward, Su Yu saw the giant green onion duck. The duck was standing in front of a potted plant, completely absorbed in looking at it.

"Huh?!"

Hearing Su Yu's voice, the giant green duck was startled. Seeing that it was Su Yu, it relaxed.

Su Yu glanced at the potted plant and asked in confusion:

"Are you looking to buy a potted plant?"

The green onion duck shook its head.

"What are you trying to do?" Su Yu had no idea.

Big Green Duck pointed to the green onion in his hand, then to the potted plant. Now Su Yu understood.

"You want to buy a pot to grow your scallions?"

Upon hearing this, the Farfetch'd nodded. The green onions in each Farfetch'd's hand were their lifeblood!

When it comes to one's own manhood, one should naturally take good care of it and cherish it with meticulous attention.

Seeing this, Su Yu smiled and said:

"Then let's buy it, it's not expensive anyway."

As she spoke, she asked Big Green Duck to pick out a flowerpot and put it in the shopping cart.

At that moment, Su Yu noticed Alcremie not far away. Alcremie was browsing in the kitchenware area, overwhelmed by the sheer number of kitchen utensils.

To be honest, as expected of Creamy Fairy, when she comes to the department store, all she thinks about are kitchen-related things.

As it happens, Su Yu also plans to buy some kitchenware, preferably microwave ovens and induction cookers, so that he can have more ways to cook food in the future.
