Pokémon: Starting with a Pokémon Ranch.

Chapter 344 Relocation to Dragon Island

At Darkrai's request, Alicia tapped her hand to the beat and softly hummed that familiar tune.

This was Darkrai's favorite song in the past, and in the movie, it even managed to quell the rage of the Time Dragons.

Upon hearing this song again after so long, Darkrai's body, composed of black mist, became even more agitated.

This reminded Him of the past. Back then, Alicia would sit in the courtyard every day with a smile, humming this song for Him and the other Pokémon.

Despite his inner turmoil, Darkrai didn't say much, simply listening silently.

The end of a song.

Su Yu hesitated to speak, wanting to say that they could actually meet every now and then through the Soul-Guiding Dream Soup.

Unlike the previous Pokémon, judging from Alicia's appearance, she didn't seem to have participated in the cycle of reincarnation in the Pokémon world, but was instead left behind. That's why Su Yu had this idea.

Upon hearing his words, Darkrai, who had been looking down and dejected, suddenly raised his head. His eyes shone brightly.

"Are you telling the truth?" Darkrai asked anxiously, placing his hands on Su Yu's shoulders.

"Of course. You've seen how fast I cook; it doesn't take long at all. As long as you stay where my food can be delivered, I can guarantee a continuous supply of meals."

Upon hearing this, Darkrai nodded. Su Yu's words were indeed very convincing. He said:

"In that case... I'll join the Wish Expedition Team and travel with Hoopa and the others."

Anyway, with the Soul-Guiding Dream Soup, White Poplar Town was no longer a necessary stop. And by Hoopa's side, He could take Alicia on trips to various places around the world.

This surprised Su Yu. He had just recruited a fighter for the expedition team who could go toe-to-toe with the Twin Dragons of Time and Space.

……

After dealing with Darkrai, Hoopa and the others prepared to leave the ranch.

According to Hoopa, they plan to go to the newly arrived Unova region to see the Pokémon there.

"Unova! If I remember correctly, there are many legendary Pokémon there."

"If you go there, please remember to be extra careful."

Su Yu gave instructions.

He filled Hoopa's private space with all sorts of dry food and supplies again, and before leaving, he didn't forget to have Hoopa move Dragon Island to the Sky Tree.

He summoned all the Dragonite, some of which had just arrived at Dragon Island wearing straw hats.

They all looked at Su Yu with confusion, wondering why he had suddenly summoned them.

Su Yu then explained to them the upcoming relocation of Dragon Island.

Upon hearing this, the Dragonite cheered. But then, a few of them looked worried.

"What's wrong? Is there a problem?" Su Yu asked, puzzled.

"Poof." One of the Dragonite nodded.

It discovered that the Sky Tree was not big enough at present, and a single fan-shaped platform could not support the massive Dragon Island.

This means it seems impossible to move Dragon Island there...

Dragon Island is simply too large, and it will take a long time before the Sky Tree grows to a size that can support it.

"I've already thought about this problem." Su Yu took out a map of the area, which he had drawn when he went to Dragon Island last time.

The area is divided into many zones, such as planting areas, living areas, and lake areas, just like the various plans for a ranch.

Subsequently, Hoopa will divide Dragon Island according to these areas, distributing it to various fan-shaped platforms.

In this way, the entire Sky Tree becomes like a city, capable of simultaneously supporting and operating these blocks.

"Pop!" Upon hearing this, the Dragonite nodded happily. With that, it was all right.

"Shall I start provoking you? Hoopa—go for it!"

As he spoke, Hoopa unleashed a massive golden halo. He first teleported the orchard over and placed it on the sunniest platform within the Sky Tree.

After that, the halo began to glow again, followed by the lake where the Hakronds lived, and then the rolling mountains...

Before long, the entire Dragon Island was moved to the Sky Tree. This way, the Dragonite no longer had to travel back and forth to return to their old home.

And the Sky Tree was thus able to establish a complete ecosystem on it, just like the World Tree.

Seeing this, the Dragonite happily flew up into the trees. They began to think about how to manage these areas to make them more prosperous.

After finishing her video game with Alcremie, Mew looked at the replica of the World Tree with curiosity. The only difference was that this tree seemed to have three fewer security guards than her own?

"Of course, those three security guards in your house were made by the Holy Pillar King," Su Yu said, both amused and exasperated.

He couldn't afford to hire security guards of that caliber.

……

In the blink of an eye, several more days have passed.

During this period, large-scale Ultra Beast attacks like those before did not occur again. However, every now and then, powerful Ultra Beasts would break through space and arrive in this world using their own power.

Most of these Pokémon are incredibly powerful, with even the weakest possessing Elite Four-level strength. This has left the League struggling to cope.

"We must find a way to close the Ultimate Pit as soon as possible. Otherwise, with so many powerful Ultra Beasts in that world, a breach in our defenses would cause massive casualties!"

At the meeting, the Dragon King made the following statement.

Upon hearing this, Xin Dong nodded:

"My suggestion is to assemble an elite team and take the initiative to delve into the interior of the Ultimate Cave."

"I have already requested assistance from the Sinnoh League, and they will send Champion Cynthia to help us establish a presence in the Eastern Kingdom. With her help, we can proceed with peace of mind."

"Where is Champion Cynthia now?" someone asked.

"Uh...she should be at that ranch in Seagull Town right now. Because she heard the ice cream there is delicious." Xin Dong said, embarrassed.

Meanwhile, in Seagull Town...

Cynthia stood by a shop, hesitating for a long time.

The shop owner was a dark-skinned middle-aged man who kept trying to persuade the other person to just pick one at random.

But whenever he was about to speak, the Garchomp beside him would stare at him fiercely, making him afraid to speak.

"So, which one should I choose?" Cynthia, who suffers from severe indecisiveness, was extremely conflicted.

After shifting her gaze back and forth between vanilla and strawberry, Cynthia finally settled on the original flavor ice cream.

Never mind, I'll take this one!

"Alright, here's your seven Alliance Coins!"

"So expensive?" Cynthia frowned; she hadn't expected the ice cream at Donghuang to be so pricey. Nevertheless, she took out her money and handed it to the shopkeeper.

Meanwhile, Su Yu, who had been waiting at the ranch for a long time, also arrived in town. With the help of Calyrex's superpowers, he quickly found Cynthia.

"Champion Bamboo Orchid, what are you doing here? If you want ice cream, I have plenty, all homemade," Su Yu said.

In front of strangers, Cynthia immediately adopted her usual aloof demeanor.

She nodded silently, only her little finger twitching almost imperceptibly when she heard "ice cream".

This action was noticed by Su Yu. He couldn't help but sigh, Cynthia really does love ice cream just like in the anime.
