Pokémon: Starting with a Pokémon Ranch.

Chapter 352: Karuno's box office performance is dismal; Onion Sol becomes a father.

The next morning.

As soon as Alcremie got up, Su Yu handed it a red paper package. Upon seeing this, Alcremie looked puzzled.

Su Yu then explained:

"This is called a red envelope; it's given to you to bring you joy."

"I think I forgot to give you this last year for Chinese New Year. Consider this my way of making up for it this year."

Upon hearing this, Alcremie happily accepted it.

After that, Su Yu delivered red envelopes to each of the Pokémon in the ranch. Upon receiving the red envelopes, Calyrex said somewhat awkwardly:

"Su Yu, am I really going to accept your red envelope? Isn't this something that elders give to younger people?"

I received a red envelope just like the other Pokémon. How embarrassing!

"Just keep it. If it's really not possible, we can exchange them as gifts, it'll be nice to have some good luck," Su Yu said.

Upon hearing this, King Rai-King finally agreed.

The Dreamy One on the side didn't have such psychological burdens. With a mental age of three, it was happy just to receive a red envelope.

After breakfast, Su Yu took his Pokémon to the town's movie theater to watch Diantha's latest film.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the cinemas were surprisingly crowded. However, the theater where Su Yu was filming was nearly empty, with less than a fifth of the seats occupied.

"That's strange, when did Karuno lose its box office appeal?" Su Yu wondered.

Although Diantha's trainer skills have always been criticized, her influence in the entertainment industry is undeniable!

This question was not answered until Su Yu left the film set.

"I never thought that the movie ticket I bought on a whim would actually be such a treasure! Mingyi is so cute!"

"The subject matter is excellent; for a sci-fi film to be made like this is truly impressive. Is this really the work of a newcomer?"

"It's decided. From now on, I'm Mingyi's dog!"

Listening to the discussions among the passersby, Su Yu understood that Karuno had been snatched away by a newcomer from Unova.

It's unbelievable that a film meticulously prepared by a renowned actress and filmed all the way to Donghuang couldn't compare to a newcomer's debut. If Karuno knew this, she probably wouldn't be able to let it go.

"Sigh, even this is considered racist towards Carlos..."

After all, the main filming location for this movie was their own ranch. Even Alcremie and the others made cameo appearances. So Su Yu really hoped that this movie would be a hit.

He shook his head helplessly, and finally returned to the ranch with the Pokémon.

……

Meanwhile, on the other side...

After several days of effort, N and Hoopa finally rescued the abandoned Pokémon in Shippo City.

Seeing the horrific state of these Pokémon after they had been abused by people, N was furious. He said:

"These trainers are going too far. Abandoning them is one thing, but some scumbags even forced injured Pokémon to train before abandoning them! This only made the Pokémon's injuries worse."

"...As expected, for innocent and kind Pokémon, trainers are simply unnecessary. After all, the essence of humanity is evil."

Having grown up alongside abandoned and harmed Pokémon, N had long been accustomed to the darkness of human nature. But every time he saw the pitiful state of these Pokémon, he could not quell the anger in his heart.

"As expected, the Plasma Team needs to act quickly."

Thinking of Team Plasma, whose mission has always been to liberate Pokémon, N suddenly felt that things weren't so bad after all.

He expressed his gratitude to Hoopa and the other Pokémon when a communication call suddenly came in.

The attacker was none other than Quidditch, the leader of Team Plasma.

After the communication was connected, Quixote spoke succinctly, his voice cold:

"We've discovered traces of Reshiram's activity north of Snowflake Town. I need you to go there immediately and try to awaken him."

"Have we finally found Him, Father?" Upon hearing this, N was overjoyed. He nodded, indicating that he would go there as quickly as possible.

After hanging up the call, he prepared to say goodbye to Hoopa and the others. However, he didn't know that, besides helping others, the greatest joy for Hoopa and the others on their journey was exploring local legends and mythical creatures.

Hupa immediately said he would go with her.

"Are you really going? That's a divine beast. If you're not strong enough, you'll easily get hurt," N said, sounding somewhat worried.

Hupa patted his chest and said it was no problem at all.

What other mythical beast could be stronger than His Laolao?

"Alright then, you can come with me."

Upon hearing this, N agreed.

……

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

On this day, the mayor came to the ranch and announced that the town would be holding a procession this year, carrying a carriage with statues of the gods around the ranch area to inspect the land of Seagull Town.

Therefore, the town mayor planned to invite Su Yu to lead the way for the gods.

"Me? Forget it, I'm not interested in this kind of thing." Upon hearing this, Su Yu waved his hand.

And if I remember correctly, among the gods... there is also the wooden carriage frame of the Rachelon King. Sending him there would be too awkward.

Upon hearing this, the mayor still wanted to insist, after all, the town had only produced one Champion-level trainer in all these years.

However, Su Yu was very determined and refused to go no matter how much they tried to persuade her.

In the end, the mayor had no choice but to leave.

Su Yu stayed at home, continuing to watch the Rainbow Tournament. The finals were underway, with Ash and his Grovyle facing off against the rookie trainer, Max.

As expected, Ash was unfortunately defeated. In the early episodes of the anime, his ranking in tournaments was consistently low.

Su Yu was not surprised by this outcome, as he had been mentally prepared for it.

"As expected, we still need to call Ash back and give Slowking a lesson."

After turning off the TV, Su Yu went to try cooking a new dish. He'd had this idea ever since he got the green bead from Meng Huan a few days ago.

However, this bead is quite difficult to cook, and I don't know how long I'll have to try.

Yesterday, he also summoned Lu Li and bought this stretch of beach near the ranch. At this moment, the Dragonite are playing happily on the beach outside.

Alcremie and Mewtwo have also joined in, and are currently building sandcastles.

Just as they were having a great time, a Pokémon weighing 0.1kg suddenly opened a portal and fell out.

He looked quite bewildered, his eyes darting around blankly. But when his gaze fell upon the Onion Soldier, he suddenly became delighted.

"Eek~!" Mom!

Immediately, Little Nebula stepped forward with joy and hugged Onion Soldier tightly with its two arms-like limbs.

This made Cong Youbing freeze. Wait a minute, he'd never been in a relationship, so when did he get a child?

The surrounding Pokémon also looked curious, and they all gathered around, looking at Nebula with a puzzled expression.

"Mama?" Is this the child of the Onion Warrior?

Alcremie wondered curiously, "Will these adorable Pokémon be able to have babies like this in the future?"

"Cameron." Does that mean He's going to call us uncle and aunt?

Blastoise adjusted his sunglasses.

This made Cong Youbing even more embarrassed. I haven't even admitted it yet, why are you all making a fuss?

On the contrary, Nebula had innocent eyes. He looked at Blastoise and called him "Uncle".

"Quack!" Don't make that noise, it's not your uncle!

Upon hearing this, Onion Soldier flapped its wings and quickly stopped him.

The commotion here also caught the attention of the Queen of the Brilliant Crown. After understanding the situation, she returned to the hut and summoned Su Yu.

Upon learning that Cong Youbing had become a father, Su Yu was stunned for a moment and then hurriedly rushed towards the beach.
