Pokémon: Starting with a Pokémon Ranch.

Chapter 360 The Little Sheep Mount Gets a Major Upgrade, Heading to Desert City

Unlike other Pokémon, the dish served to the riding sheep is a legendary resource shared by three Pokémon.

This means that all the effects of the dish will be shared equally among the three of them, thus growing together. Unlike Caterpie and Calycanthus, which each enjoy the experience alone.

However, the three little lambs didn't hesitate. They were already of one mind as sisters, and even if they had to share their strength, it wouldn't bother them at all.

They ate the dish together, and afterwards, a vibrant green emanated from them.

The soil, which had been improved by the environmental modification fluid and further enhanced by the little sheep mounts, suddenly underwent a strange change at this moment.

A multitude of strange flowers and plants suddenly sprouted from the ground, emitting a magical fragrance. In addition, the area affected by the anomaly continued to expand across the pasture, eventually attracting the attention of the Brilliant King, who was lying in the sun.

He felt that his three little lamb mounts were almost catching up with him in terms of promoting plant growth. After all, the food he had eaten earlier had mainly enhanced his combat abilities.

If that's really the case, it means... there are three more Pokémon with similar abilities to Him on the ranch!

"If that's the case, the Sky Tree might be able to mature in a short period of time..." King Rai-Crowned thought to himself.

But that's not all. The effects of the Green Grass Treasure Frolei almost completely enhanced the mount, the little sheep. In terms of strength, the three of them also reached the level of peak champion, which is the level of ordinary legends like the Flame Emperor.

Unlike the caterpillar, the sheep mounts possess immense life energy, eliminating any mana deficiency. Furthermore, they can harvest grass growing on the ground to replenish their energy.

In this way, when the three of them join forces, even established legends like Reshiram and Ho-Oh might not be unable to compete.

"That's absolutely outrageous..."

Even Su Yu himself gasped in astonishment. Was such a powerful Pokémon truly something he had created step by step through cooking?

It feels so unreal!

"In this way, the Super Demon God dungeon isn't entirely unplayable. Letting the Shadow Demon run rampant isn't a solution either."

"In the coming days, we should head to Desert City to search for the Shadow's whereabouts."

Thinking this, Su Yu glanced at Hu Pa not far away.

And then, just one month later...

Su Yu was preparing to go to Desert City when Darkrai suddenly approached him.

"Su Yu... I heard you're preparing to head to the Carlos region to help Hoopa resolve a problem?"

"Yes, what's wrong?" Su Yu asked.

Since this matter concerned Hoopa himself, Su Yu did not invite Darkrai to join him, intending to have Him stay on the ranch with Alicia.

However, judging from Darkrai's expression, it seems He intends to go along as well.

Because He only found Su Yu after encountering Hoopa and with their help. Strictly speaking, Hoopa was His benefactor.

Darkrai always repays kindness to his benefactors.

Hearing Darkrai's words, Su Yu nodded. It seemed that the Wish Expedition Team had indeed helped many Pokémon, and these Pokémon were all grateful for the expedition team's kindness.

He also agreed to Darkrai's request. In addition, Jirachi and Manaphy also requested to go to Carlos together.

……

After making some preparations, Su Yu was ready to set off.

Beside him stood the Lady Crown King, a legend who could overpower the Flame White Kyurem, and his greatest asset on this journey.

Besides that, there's Hoopa's ability to... cough, to revive others.

As Hoopa opened its light wheel, Su Yu led the Pokémon inside.

In the blink of an eye, they arrived at the desert area outside the desert city, which was not far from the city.

"Hupa. What's wrong?" Seeing Hupa trembling all over after arriving here, Su Yu quickly went forward to support her.

Through the power of Tokiwa, he sensed an extremely strong feeling of fear.

"Hoopa... is scared?" It seems that Shadow has already escaped. Otherwise, Hoopa wouldn't be so scared.

Su Yu took out the courage chicken leg, unsure if the dish would have any effect on his fear, but he fed it to him anyway.

Fortunately, the dish worked, and soon, Huba stopped trembling. He opened his eyes, looked at Su Yu, and grinned:

"Hehe, were you startled, Su Yu?"

"...No." Su Yu shook his head. Compared to that, with the help of cooking, Huba finally called him by the correct name.

Su Yu casually tossed a few more donuts to Hoopa and looked towards Desert City. It was peaceful there at the moment, a scene that would certainly not be the case if Evil Shadow had already escaped.

"It seems the Shadow Demon has only just broken free. Perhaps I can prepare to set up a trap?"

Using Hoopa as bait, they lured Balzah, who was controlled by the Shadow, to come, and then seized the bottle containing the Shadow...

This plan seems feasible.

With that in mind, Su Yu told King Lei Guan about the plan.

King Rathalos nodded in agreement. He indicated that they could hide in His personal space.

"Then you guys go inside. I'll stay outside and work with Hoopa."

"If there are any unusual circumstances, or if I give a signal, you can come out of the space immediately," Su Yu said.

After all, he couldn't leave Huba alone outside. Firstly, he was worried about her, and secondly, he was concerned about Huba.

Upon hearing that they could stay outside, the Alcremie and the others all expressed their reluctance to enter the personal space. However, Su Yu, with a stern face, refused their request:

"No, this is too dangerous. A major battle could break out outside at any moment, and your strength is still too weak."

After all, a battle between divine beasts could erupt here at any moment. Therefore, Su Yu's attitude was also very firm.

However, some Pokémon persisted. In the end, Su Yu kept Caterpie and Darkrai, and sent the rest of the Pokémon into his personal space.

After dealing with these matters, Su Yu continued walking towards Desert City. He walked slowly, deliberately waiting for Xie Ying.

Meanwhile, high above the desert city.

Riding his warrior eagle, Balzac surveyed the area below. By this time, he was completely controlled by the Shadow, and his true form was utterly unable to perceive the outside world.

The Shadow took over control of the body, and after searching for a while, it suddenly spotted Hoopa.

This made Him very excited. He hadn't expected that He would actually find it after searching for only a short time in the desert city.

So He had the warrior eagle follow closely behind Hoopa, but He did not make a move.

Meanwhile, Su Yu...

They chatted and laughed all the way, and after eating the Courage Chicken Leg, Hoopa became exceptionally cheerful.

Su Yu was playfully fighting with Him when Darkrai's voice came from the shadows.

"Su Yu, there's someone following behind you. He's very cautious and keeps observing from a distance."

Su Yu nodded in agreement, because the Queen of the Lace Crown had also sensed it.

But the question is... why is Shadow so cautious this time? After discovering Hoopa, he didn't act rashly. Is it because Darkrai has been discovered?

At such a distance, it seems a bit difficult to launch a successful sneak attack...
