Pokémon: Starting with a Pokémon Ranch.

Chapter 348 Arrival in Padiya

By the time we got on the plane, we could already see Niangguang City below.

Clinging to the airplane window, Alcremie and Sweetie looked down in awe.

This metropolis, which looks incredibly high-tech, made a deep impression on them from the moment they arrived.

Seeing this, Su Yu smiled and said:

"You've all grown up, you've probably never seen a city this big before, have you?"

Alcremie nodded. Such a vast city, teeming with people, was something she had never dared to dream of before. After all, before this, she had spent most of her time on her own ranch.

After thinking it over, Frost Milk Fairy asked Su Yu, "How many Seagull Towns are there in this city?"

"There should be... a few hundred," Su Yu pondered.

"Mama?!" Really?

Upon hearing this, Alcremie was even more shocked. Hundreds of Gulltowns—how many tens of thousands of people and Pokémon could that possibly house!

Is this what a world-class metropolis is like?

After the plane landed, Su Yu immediately went to the storage area to retrieve the Poké Ball he had stored there.

He released Guleton and the others. Seeing that they had arrived in Padia, Guleton looked around curiously.

Meanwhile, many students from Padia Academy were coming and going from the airport. Upon seeing the rare Pokémon, they all gathered around, forming a large circle.

Su Yu finally managed to shake them off. When he came outside, Ye Ci had been waiting for him for a long time.

This oddly dressed champion seemed to be very particular about etiquette. She first gave Su Yu a very formal welcome, and then pointed to the motorcycle lizard beside her and said:

"When you come to Padiya, you can't miss experiencing our unique motorized lizard transportation service."

"For the next few days, this little motorcycle lizard will be in charge of your transportation."

"Gah~!" Upon hearing this, the Motor Lizard responded happily.

Upon hearing its cry, Guleton immediately looked at the Moto Lizard with a scrutinizing gaze, his eyes filled with doubt.

This voice sounds... somewhat like a cub of the same kind?

However, the powerful aura in Leyton's eyes instilled some fear in Lizard. After all, even in ancient times, it was a predator at the top of the food chain. Lizard, on the other hand, was just an ordinary, harmless Pokémon.

Seeing the motorcycle lizard trembling, Su Yu quickly said:

"Guleton, don't scare the motorcycle lizard, it's still a baby."

"Agas..."

Upon hearing this, Leton apologetically withdrew its gaze. It thought to itself that it was also just a baby a few months old.

However, Ci's eyes were strange, and she seemed to have heard the name Leighton from the doctor in Padia.

……

After Su Yu settled into the hotel.

As soon as they arrived in the room, Gengar lay on the floor with its mouth open, vomiting out a large amount of luggage from another dimension.

The woolly horned sheep started wandering around the hotel. This hotel was booked by the Padiya Union, and the services arranged in every aspect were top-notch.

Su Yu, relying on his Heavenly King-level status, got everything for free.

"I've heard that Champion Ye Ci is eager to recruit talent; I wonder if he'll extend an invitation to me?"

"Gah?" Hearing this, the somewhat dazed motor lizard raised its head in confusion. What was this human saying? Why couldn't it understand?

After unpacking, Su Yu took his Pokémon to the hotel restaurant.

There are many Padida specialties on display here, and most importantly, it's all self-service.

Upon smelling the aroma, Arcanine's tail immediately wagged. Seeing this, Su Yu smiled and took a Pokémon-specific food tray from the sterilizer, giving it to Arcanine.

He addressed the other Pokémon:

"Go and get something you want to eat. It's a rare opportunity to travel together, so you should have a great time."

Upon hearing this, the Pokémon cheered and scattered.

Su Yu picked up her plate and filled it with a generous amount of food. Putting everything else aside, the food at this hotel was indeed quite delicious.

After finishing their meal, Su Yu took his Pokémon to the streets to enjoy the nighttime lights of Brewmaster City.

Under the colorful lights, people and Pokémon live together in this beautiful city. This is a classic symbol of the Paradis region.

During this time, Su Yu also encountered many trainers who brought their Pokémon out for a walk. Their Pokémon got to know Alcremie and the others, and played together in the square for a while.

And then the next day...

Since he had signed up for a tour group, Su Yu planned to go sightseeing with the tour guide for the first few days.

Early in the morning, he arrived at the meeting point with a group of Pokémon.

They boarded a tour bus and spent several days traveling to all the attractions around Nyang Quang City.

Although it was a lot of fun visiting with other tourists, the visitors were very friendly, and kind old ladies often shared food with the Alcremie and the others.

But in the end, Su Yu still left the tour group because he thought their progress was too slow.

He brought his Pokémon to a ranch in Ziqin Town, asked the rancher for lodging, and stayed there.

"Gah~"

The motorcycle lizard that Yeci had arranged was still by her side. It sat somewhat blankly in the room, staring intently at the minute and second hands of the clock, seemingly lost in thought.

Just then, the Alcremie and the others ran over and invited it to play. Hearing this, the Motor Lizard happily nodded and trotted outside.

"A Pokémon so innocent, it's like a blank sheet of paper." Seeing this, Su Yu shook his head and laughed.

He got up and went outside. The environment of this ranch was quite nice. Otherwise, Su Yu wouldn't have chosen to stay here.

Moreover, it's not far from the Great Pot Lake. You won't have to walk too long to see the Great Pot Waterfall, which is listed as one of the "Ten Views of Patia" along with the night view of Niang Kwang City.

"Agas~" Upon seeing Su Yu come out, Guleton, who was lying on the ground, immediately got up. Su Yu knew at a glance that it wanted to go for a walk again.

"Then let's go," he said.

With Gu Leton by his side, Su Yu headed out of the ranch.

Not long after they left, at the same time, on the shore of Daguo Lake.

A couple who looked like scholars were having a picnic here with a boy.

Seeing the boy's worried expression, one of the men laughed:

"Pippa, cheer up! Mom and Daddy rarely take you out to play today, why are you unhappy?"

Upon hearing this, the boy looked like he was about to cry. He said:

"But you're going on another business trip tonight. This time, I won't see you for another month or two..."

"There's nothing we can do about it; after all, it's my parents' job," Dr. Orin said helplessly.

"You always say that, and you're never free to spend time with me."

Pipa felt even more aggrieved. He turned and ran, disappearing into the forest in no time.

Dr. Orin was about to give chase, but Piper was running too fast and disappeared in an instant.

She had no choice but to walk back, and her eyes wavered as she looked at her husband.

Over the years, they have been so busy with experiments that they have indeed neglected Piper's feelings.

However, the experiments on Paradoxical Pokémon have now entered a critical stage, and the research on the adaptation of Zelda and Milton to modern life has only just begun to make progress.

At times like this, they simply cannot extricate themselves.

Seeing his wife wavering, Dr. Futu also said:

"Our dream has always been for Paradoxical Pokémon to live a normal life in this era. Orin, we cannot waver at a time like this."

"As for Pipa... I think he'll understand us when he grows up. Let's spend more time with him after the experiment is completely over."
