Pokémon: Starting with a Pokémon Ranch.

Chapter 340 Karuno Arrives, Ranch's First Anniversary

The fact that Karuno was suddenly coming was completely unexpected by Su Yu.

After all, he had never crossed paths with the Carlos champion before.

"What's wrong? What happened?"

Upon hearing Su Yu's voice on the phone, the Queen of the Ravens floated over.

Su Yu explained that a female celebrity was coming to the ranch.

"Female celebrity? What's that? The kind of actresses you see on TV all the time?"

"Mama?" Does that mean we can be on TV again?

Upon hearing this, Su Yu smiled and patted Alcremie's head:

"So, you really want to be on TV?"

Creamy Fairy nodded.

By the time Karuno arrived at the ranch by car, news of her arrival had spread throughout the ranch area.

Many ranchers rode their Pokémon to the scene, eager to see what was happening. Many Pokémon also gathered from their own ranches.

Diantha stepped out of the car with her head down and her hands covering her chest. Behind her followed a Gardevoir that looked quite unusual.

"The scenery here does seem quite nice. Don't you think so, Gardevoir?"

"Sarva~" Upon hearing this, Gardevoir nodded.

Su Yu stepped forward at this moment, extended his hand to shake hands with Karuno, and welcomed her.

He then asked the other party if they wanted to take a tour of the ranch.

"Of course I'd like to," Karuno nodded and smiled.

The first stop on their tour was the Sky Restaurant, which Su Yu took them to.

He arranged for a variety of desserts and fruit teas for her afternoon tea. Upon seeing this, Diantha sat down gracefully, while Gardevoir, standing beside her, ate small bites with a spoon.

"Sarva~!" Gardevoir exclaimed with delight as soon as the dessert entered its mouth.

Seeing this, Karuno asked in confusion:

"What's wrong? Is it delicious?"

When she's filming, she often takes Gardevoir to various places to sample the local cuisine.

Logically speaking, Gardevoir should have very high standards for desserts. Unless the dessert is truly exceptionally delicious.

After tasting it, Karuno nodded in approval. It really was delicious...

"I never expected this rancher to be such a jack-of-all-trades," Karuno thought to herself.

To be able to open a restaurant on a ranch, and to have such a high standard of service, makes him seem like a reclusive master.

This made her curious about what this rancher did for a living.

After finishing their meal, Su Yu led Karuno on their way. They headed towards Moon Lake, where, just then, Onion Soldier and Knight Snail were sparring.

The loud noise they made also caught Karuno's attention.

Seeing Karuno's curiosity, Su Yu explained the reason behind it, and said:

"This is a well-known folk tale in Galar, and many novelists have even adapted it into literary works. It is said that every time the Onion Knight and the Knight Snail meet, it will cause a bloody battle between them."

This gave Karuno a sudden inspiration. Perhaps she could make this legend into a movie?

She immediately told Su Yu about her requests for location scouting and actors. She wanted to film a knight movie on a ranch.

Su Yu understood that, firstly, the ranch environment was indeed good enough, and secondly, if a movie filmed in Donghuang used this as a gimmick to break into the local market, it would be easier to open up the local market.

An actress like Karuno, after her arrival, clearly has the ambition to spread her influence throughout the entire league.

As for the actors...

"Um, is Cong Youbing really suitable? He's never acted in any dramas before, I'm afraid he might mess it up."

Karuno smiled and shook her head, saying:

"Of course it's suitable, Rancher Su. Don't be afraid. When it comes to acting, the person who plays themselves is the most suitable for the role."

"The Farfetch'd looks like a born knight."

Su Yu: "...Alright then."

……

After touring the entire ranch, Karuno went back to prepare for filming.

She had initially wanted to cast the Lady Crown King as the emperor, but in the end, the Lady Crown King, who was drinking tea and reading, declined.

Having lived for tens of thousands of years, as a Galatian otaku, He had no desire to join in this kind of fun.

Alcremie and the others, at Su Yu's request, got minor roles, which was enough to make them happy.

"You guys play, I'm going back to watch TV." After Diantha left, Su Yu waved to the Pokémon and went back inside.

Turn on the TV, and there he is, Caterpillar, somewhat clumsily carrying a bucket of popcorn, sitting on the armrest of the sofa.

"Do you want to watch TV with me too?" This was quite unusual, so Su Yu asked curiously.

"Hiss." The caterpillar nodded.

After watching for a while, it got dark outside, and the temperature gradually dropped.

Alcremie and the others were getting a bit too cold and quickly ran back inside. With Arcanine around, it was noticeably warmer inside than outside.

"Windspeed Dog, turn up the heating power, it's going to get colder tonight."

After getting up and instructing the Gyrocopter, Su Yu stretched and prepared to cook.

"Awoo~!" Upon hearing this, Arcanine nodded.

While cooking, Su Yu was scrolling through his phone. Then he saw a newly released message from the league.

"Have Unova and Alola also arrived?"

Su Yu was somewhat surprised when she saw this news.

And so, in the main Pokémon series, only the region of Padia has yet to be introduced.

……

12 month 9 day.

This day marked the one-year anniversary of Su Yu's transmigration.

"In the blink of an eye, it's been a whole year since I started running this ranch..."

While brewing tea with the Crème Brûlée in the greenhouse, Su Yu sighed with emotion. He recalled that when he first arrived, he only had an egg left by his grandfather and three woolly sheep he'd bought from Uncle Yang.

The teapot, standing nearby, would occasionally refill the lace crown cup with tea. After absorbing a certain type of tea, it possessed a certain ability to produce that tea.

Su Yu, on the other hand, didn't receive this treatment. He had to brew it himself.

"Or rather... in just one year, you've managed to develop the ranch to what it is today. That's probably quite rare even among humans, isn't it?"

King Raiguan picked up his teacup, took a sip of tea, and said something.

To mark the rare anniversary, Su Yu planned to hold some celebrations at the ranch.

Upon hearing this news, the Alcremie and the others volunteered to make a super huge cake for Su Yu.

The woolly horned sheep, on the other hand, suggested that such an important day should be celebrated with a race.

"Mama!" Making a cake!

"Hurry!" The race!

Seeing that the two sides were about to start arguing, Su Yu shook his head helplessly. He said:

"Then I'll leave the organization of the event to you. Your task today is to use your imagination and have as much fun as possible."

Honestly, they could have had it all, so why did they start arguing?

"Will the event be hosted by Pokémon?"

Upon hearing this, King Lacecrown showed an appreciative expression, thinking it was an excellent idea.

Immediately, He used the spatial portal to summon the Pokémon from the Sleepy Forest to celebrate together.

Alcremie and her companions from the Sky Restaurant also began making giant cakes.

In Alcremie's vision, this cake should at least be about the same size as her Gigantamax form. Only in this way can it be commensurate with the significance of the first anniversary celebration.

Led by their chieftain, the caterpillars went to town to secretly sell the silk they produced.

With the money, they bought back many lanterns, red ribbons, and other decorations that could be hung on the trees.

After bringing them back, they used them, along with Dragonite, to decorate the Sky Tree, making it exceptionally beautiful.
