Pokémon: Starting with a Pokémon Ranch.

Chapter 350 Persuading the Paradoxical Pokémon to Return to the Ranch

He talked with Su Yu for a while longer.

"The task of communicating with these ancient beings... is entrusted to you."

Dr. Futu said this after opening the door on the glass case.

Su Yu nodded, and he went inside with Blastoise and Gulerton.

Because the two Guletons in the research institute would immediately start fighting whenever they met, Dr. Fortu separated them completely with a black barrier.

But at Su Yu's request, Dr. Futu pressed the button and removed the barrier.

"As expected, they are all adults now, Gu Leton."

Looking at the bulging muscles on the two Guletons, Su Yu thought to himself.

Having traveled to ancient times, he naturally knew how to determine the age of Guleton.

Upon seeing the barrier removed, both Guletons stood up. They roared at each other, each regarding the other as an enemy, and nearly came to blows.

But upon seeing Su Yu, they tacitly chose to stop. They weren't sure what this human was there for.

It wasn't just because Su Yu was with a minor Guleton, but also because he was accompanied by a bodyguard wearing sunglasses. The bodyguard appeared to possess immense strength.

It was under these circumstances that Su Yu asked Gu Leton to step forward and persuade him. He gladly stepped forward, and the two Gu Letons, seeing that it was just an underage child, did not immediately attack.

This also gave Guleton a chance to persuade them. After some thought, it spoke at length to its two predecessors.

The gist of the statement is that in this era, there's no longer a need for them to hunt and fight; Pokémon can coexist peacefully. The old ways of the past are no longer relevant.

"Agas~" Even without hunting, we can fill our stomachs with tree fruits. And wasn't our initial reason for fighting for food and territory?

Therefore, Leighton's words left the two seniors bewildered. They felt something was off, but upon closer reflection, it seemed that the matter was indeed as it appeared.

Their initial reason for fighting was indeed simply to survive. After all, survival and reproduction are the most important goals of life.

Seeing that both of their predecessors were moved, Su Yu's Guleton was very happy and continued to persuade them.

As Pokémon that were at the top of the food chain in ancient times, the Leyton family's brains were still quite sharp. After another half hour of sorting out their logic, the two giant lizards finally nodded sheepishly.

They touched hands, as if reaching a reconciliation. This left Dr. Futu, outside the glass enclosure, speechless.

Is it really that easy to persuade Guleton and the others to stop fighting?

However, upon closer reflection, this matter doesn't seem so easy. Perhaps only Su Yu, who has traveled to the ancient times, captured a Guleton, and understands the survival instincts of paradoxical Pokémon, could do it so easily.

"You're really impressive, young man. Now we can get Gulerton to cooperate with our research too," Dr. Futu exclaimed after Su Yu came out.

Piper, standing nearby, also cast an admiring glance. This older brother was amazing! When he grew up, he wanted to become a trainer like him.

Seeing this, Su Yu smiled and patted Papa's head. "You kid, you should protect the Mastiff Godfather first."

After persuading the Gullardon, Su Yu, along with his Pokémon, began trying to reform the ordinary Paradox Pokémon. These Pokémon relied more on instinct than the Gullardon family, making them even more difficult to reform.

Therefore, Leighton was left in the glass enclosure to teach his two predecessors how to interact with humans. The way the three of them interacted was like modern people teaching primitive humans how to adapt to modern life.

Several days later...

The combination of cooking and farm Pokémon produced quite good results.

Especially the Happiness Ice Cream, which gave these ancient Pokémon a strong sense of happiness for the first time. It also taught them how to live peacefully with humans and that aimless fighting is meaningless.

Once you understand this, you're not far from living a normal life like modern Pokémon.

That was the day.

"Are you leaving so soon, Su Yu?"

Outside the Zero Zone Research Institute, Mr. and Mrs. Futu, along with Pipa, were seeing Su Yu off. Accompanying them were the originally ferocious Paradox Pokémon.

At this moment, they were all reluctant to part. After spending so many days together, they had come to accept Alcremie as their friend.

Su Yu nodded in agreement. He said:

"After leaving here, I plan to take my Pokémon and travel around Padia. Then, it'll be time to go back to Donghuang for the New Year."

"Time is tight, so I need to leave early."

Futu: "Alright then, I don't understand the importance of 'New Year' to the people of Donghuang. But I still wish you a happy holiday."

"Our research institute would also like to welcome you anytime. Your amazing cooking has saved us a lot of time."

Futu understood that without Su Yu's cooking, their progress in communicating with and influencing the Paradoxical Pokémon might have been delayed by several years. At the very least, it would never have been possible to move on to the next stage of research so quickly.

Hearing this, Su Yu smiled and nodded. He mounted the tropical dragon and slowly rode away.

With this change of hers, the tragedy that happened to the Futu couple in the game should not happen again. Pipa will not become an orphan because of this.

He could say he had done a good deed, saving Pipa's childhood.

"Where should we go next? How about we go and see all ten of the 'Ten Views of Patia'?"

Holding Alcremie and other Pokémon in his arms, Su Yu said.

Perfect timing! You can also go to the next town, transfer to a flying taxi—a specialty of the Padiya region—and climb the highest peak in Padiya.

……

January 22nd, one week before the Lunar New Year.

After spending a night camping in the cold wind with his Pokémon on Frostbite Mountain, Su Yu took a plane back to Donghuang.

After spitting out all the luggage from Gengar's belly and handing it over to the airport for inspection, Su Yu released Tropius and rode it back to the ranch.

Meanwhile, the Crested King was sunbathing in the greenhouse. Rotom, on the other hand, was busy harvesting crops in the fields.

Sensing Su Yu's return with keen senses, the Queen of the Brilliant Crown removed her blindfold, climbed up from her chair in surprise, and took a look.

Upon seeing that it was indeed Su Yu, He immediately got up to greet him.

Su Yu then took a crown out of Gengar's belly. This was an antique unearthed from the ancient Padmaya ruins, which he had bought as a gift for Calyrex.

On his return, he specially bought a gift for each Pokémon. Now, he is giving them out one by one.

After receiving the crown, Lady Crown held it up to her head and immediately knew that she couldn't wear it.

Seeing this, Su Yu also apologized:

"Ahem... I'm sorry, I forgot your head is too big. I'll have a craftsman make you another one later."

"It's alright, I don't like wearing these kinds of things anyway," said the Queen of the Lace Crown, shaking her head.

As for the Rotom, Su Yu gave it a specially made phone container. In Padiya, there is a very well-known mobile phone manufacturing company that specializes in making these Rotom containers.

After distributing the gifts, Su Yu sat comfortably in the living room and turned on the familiar television.

While group tours are enjoyable, I always feel that traveling at home is more comfortable.

The green caterpillar also familiarly brought over a bucket of popcorn and sat down next to Su Yu.

"Huh, the Hoenn region's Rainbow Festival has already started?" Su Yu was quite surprised as he watched the news broadcast.

However, glancing at the time, it was already late January, so the timing of the competition was just right.

This year's Saiyuu Tournament finally featured familiar faces from the anime from my previous life. Masamune and Tetsuya were both familiar faces.

Among these people, both Mitsuru and Ash performed exceptionally well, showing significant improvement in strength compared to their appearance in the anime. It seems that having Slowking tutor Ash was the right choice.

"Dumb King, come and see how your apprentice is performing at the conference!" Su Yu shouted towards the outside.

Upon hearing this, one of Dazai's Stands slowly walked over and pulled up a chair to sit down.
