Pokémon: Starting with a Pokémon Ranch.

Chapter 366: Ranked among the Eight Masters, Fulfilling the Pokémon's Last Wish

Water Boat Town, Galar Region.

Before entering the dojo, Su Yu left Raikou King outside.

After all, it is nominally a native Pokémon of Galar, and it is not appropriate for the Gym Leader here to know about it.

During this time, the Crowned King was also taking care of his beloved horse, holding a white radish.

Just then, the "villainous" duo Hisoka, whom they had met before in the Crown Snowfield, passed by. More than a year after Sirfetch'd drawn his sword, the two brothers had still accomplished nothing.

Upon seeing the Crowned King and His beloved horse, the two immediately hatched a wicked plan.

They felt that the Snowstorm Horse must be incredibly valuable, and if they could steal it, they might be able to exchange it for a lot of money.

Therefore, they pretended to be villains, deliberately bullied a Pokémon, and made it seek help from Calyrex.

Without carefully examining the other party's past, Calyrex was indeed fooled. It followed the Pokémon and quickly left the area.

Seeing that they had actually succeeded, Hisoka and his buddy walked forward triumphantly, ready to lead the Snowstorm Horse away.

Then... the two of them were instantly frozen into ice sculptures by the blizzard horse, and when Su Yu came out, their expressions hadn't changed at all.

"...How did I run into these two again? Just as unlucky as running into Dog Hao."

"Sigh, forget it, I'll just notify Officer Jenny directly." In the end, Su Yu reluctantly took out his phone.

"Whoosh—" The Snowstorm Horse exhaled a long puff of white air. It rubbed its hooves together forcefully to show its disdain.

"Speaking of which, where did you go just now, Lady Crown?" Su Yu asked, looking to the side. He didn't know that Lady Crown had been sent away.

Upon hearing this, the Crowned King pointed to the river not far away and said:

"A Pokémon just told me that it was being bullied by some trainers. But when I went over to help, they had already run away."

"However, I still helped a monkey-like Pokémon rescue a human baby who was drifting in the river. That child was so pitiful, losing his parents at such a young age."

Good heavens... Could the child floating in the river be Coco from the movie?

Su Yu became somewhat interested.

However, he didn't investigate further. After challenging Lulina, he had accomplished his mission. So, he headed straight home.

……

That is, one month later.

After a long and arduous journey, Su Yu obtained the Master-level qualification by replacing Karuno.

Meanwhile, Ash is also making good progress, having already reached 103rd place. Su Yu estimates that Ash will eventually have a battle to switch places with Iris.

After all, among the eight masters, Alice is the weakest.

"It seems the top eight spots are pretty much set. Among the trainers who have made it into the top eight, very few can challenge their position."

"So now, I can focus on other things."

Looking at the large amount of ingredients laid out in the kitchen, Su Yu thought to himself.

Because next, he's going to fulfill the dream he made for those Pokémon, a dream he hadn't been able to realize!

"First, there's Steanne's wish to evolve..."

Su Yu was already quite adept at researching dishes that could evolve Pokémon.

Now, Sweet Wuni's accumulated experience was sufficient. Naturally, Su Yu easily prepared this dish.

"Besides that, there's Darkrai, and his wish to stay with Alicia forever..."

However, realizing this wish will be much more difficult. This step requires helping Alicia sculpt her body.

After another three months of tinkering, finally, in July of my third year in this world, I arrived.

The summer weather was gradually getting hotter. After having Jiang Qiu renovate the facilities, Su Yu also asked her to build an observatory on the back mountain.

Combined with the snowfall generated by the Styracosaurus absorbing heat, the observatory is quite cool. Every evening, Su Yu brings his Pokémon here to enjoy the cool air.

That was on this day...

As night fell, Su Yu and his Pokémon went up the mountain. He then took out some food and handed it to Slimie.

After consuming a dish that promotes evolution, Sweetie emitted a white light. When the light faded, she finally evolved into her final form, Sweetie Queen.

Although this made the size difference between it and Alcremie even more significant, Alcremie didn't care. Because it had now mastered Gigantamax.

Sweet Cold Beauty is quite satisfied with her current appearance. She hasn't been affected by her instinct to trample on people; on the contrary, her personality remains as kind as ever.

Thus, one of the Pokémon's wishes was fulfilled. After that, Su Yu looked at Darkrai.

This puzzled Darkrai greatly. It knew that Su Yu wanted to take this opportunity to fulfill the wishes of the Pokémon on the ranch. But it didn't expect that it would include itself.

Does this mean that He is also considered part of the ranch?

This moved Darkrai somewhat. And His wish... wasn't it to resurrect Alicia?!

Thinking of this, Darkrai felt a surge of excitement. Sure enough—in the next moment, Su Yu took out the food and handed it to Alicia.

He said:

"This dish is something I've been trying to make for three months. After eating it, you'll no longer need to rely on the Soul-Guiding Dream Soup as before."

Upon hearing this, Alicia immediately ate the dish. Her soul began to solidify, and what it solidified was her body from her youth.

Not long after, a girl in her early twenties appeared before Darkrai. She gave Darkrai a faint smile, a smile Darkrai had waited far too long for.

"Alicia..."

He stepped forward with a hoarse voice and reached out to touch the other person's face.

Upon experiencing the realism of the touch, Darkrai's expression shifted, and he seemed somewhat incredulous.

Seeing Darkrai frozen in shock, Alicia smiled and stepped forward to embrace Him.

—Thanks to Su Yu's cooking, perhaps they can spend several more decades together, just like they did back in Baiyang Town.

Seeing this touching scene, Dragonite couldn't help but burst into tears. It pulled out a tissue and blew its nose forcefully.

Caterpie jumped onto its shoulder and patted its back to comfort it. Suddenly, Dragonite asked:

"Pop?" Will we and Su Yu become like this in the future?

Upon hearing this question, Alcremie, Blastoise, and the others all shook their heads blankly, while Caterpie already knew the answer.

Because its life was already bound to Su Yu's. Even if it died first, it would ensure that Su Yu lived as long as possible.

However, this secret remained hidden in its own heart, and it didn't even tell Su Yu.
