Pokémon: Starting with a Pokémon Ranch.

Chapter 370 The Simulation of Arceus

When Su Yu returned to the audience seats.

The Crowned Queen looked up at the sky above the venue, a thoughtful expression on her face.

"What's wrong?" Su Yu asked, puzzled.

Upon hearing this, King Rai-Crowned shook his head and said:

"It's nothing, it's just that I feel... like there are old friends nearby."

Meanwhile, after the competition ended, the audience in the venue gradually dispersed.

After his defeat, Ash quickly composed himself. He decided that his next step would be to go to Galar, the hometown of Sirfetch'd, to continue his training.

His travels will continue.

Su Yu returned to the ranch and resumed his previous daily life.

Every day, he occasionally tends to the ranch and studies some cooking techniques. In his spare time, he also takes time to play with the Pokémon.

It's euphemistically called the retired life of a world champion.

And just like that, more than a month passed in the blink of an eye.

On this day, a commotion arose from the Sky Tree. A Celebi suddenly traveled through time and space and arrived at the ranch. Upon seeing this, the Caterpie clan cried out in surprise.

The ancient trees they previously inhabited had grown only after receiving the blessing of the Shrabah. They were extremely excited to see the Shrabah again.

Upon arriving at the pasture, the rabbi's purpose was clear. He first gave power to the ancient tree's seed, enabling it to regrow.

After that, Celebi looked at the Sky Tree.

"You mean... you're here to help us plant this tree?" Su Yu asked.

"Bi~" Silavi nodded.

Upon hearing this, Su Yu immediately summoned his mounts, the little lamb, the caterpillar, and the crowned king. They rushed over after receiving the news.

After learning the details, the Crowned King nodded, indicating that He would also do His best to provide energy for the Sky Tree.

After that, Celebi also used his own power. It should be noted that in addition to the power of time, He is also known as the god of the forest.

Thanks to the efforts of these Pokémon, the Sky Tree grew rapidly once again. Its height increased from over a thousand meters to over two thousand meters in a single day.

Seeing that the process could not be completed in a short time, the shrine brigade eventually settled down on the ranch.

……

Several days later.

In the cool of the summer night, Su Yu brought out the barbecue grill and started grilling for the Pokémon.

Every now and then, he would pick up a bottle of soda and gulp it down.

Not far ahead of him, Alcremie, carrying several ears of corn, was returning from the field with Squirtle and the others. They had gone to the field to pick vegetables at Su Yu's command.

Jirachi and Hoopa, under the starry sky, carefully set off lit sparklers. Nearby, Arcanine and Yamper chased each other.

In the field, the mosquito coil frogs gathered together, holding their usual concert. Although their songs were completely off-key, they unexpectedly attracted a Meloetta.

Meloye Tower floated high in the distance, listening to the songs with a sense of rapture.

The woolly-horned sheep, along with the woolly-braided sheep of their herd, rolled around in a ball on the wide grassland.

"These days are really nice!" Su Yu exclaimed. He thought to himself that he should invite all the mythical beasts he knew over for a summer barbecue sometime.

As he frowned in thought, Su Yu suddenly felt a sense of lightness in his consciousness. It was as if his soul was incredibly light, and without him even realizing it, he had floated up into the sky.

"...Wait, it's not an illusion?" Su Yu finally realized what was happening. He looked down and saw that even the Sky Tree was now beneath his feet.

Behind him, Arceus had appeared at some point. He nodded to Su Yu and said:

"Welcome to this world, unknown being from another realm. I have witnessed everything you have done."

This surprised Su Yu somewhat, but it made sense, since he was a transmigrator and could not hide his identity from the Creator God.

But why did Arceus bring me here?

As if guessing what Su Yu was thinking, Arceus continued:

"In view of your enormous contributions to maintaining world stability, I can grant you one wish—you may say it now."

"Grant me a wish? Is there really such a good thing?" Su Yu was stunned for a moment. You know... this was the promise of the Creator God!

Su Yu had already considered this wish, and he said:

"Can I see what the future holds for my family's ranch?"

"Are you sure?" Arceus asked. You're going to use such a precious wish for this?

Seeing that Su Yu nodded without hesitation, He said helplessly:

"Alright then, that's perfect, that's what I'm curious about too."

After that, Arceus also used His power to predict the future of the ranch.

After the barbecue, Su Yu returned to his daily routine at the ranch.

This situation lasted for over a hundred years. Su Yu chatted and laughed with the Pokémon every day, and during this time, they also made many new friends.

The Onion Soldier even fell in love with a member of its own kind, and afterwards, its mate gave birth to a child.

That day, Su Yu and the Pokémon on the ranch were all very happy. Blastoise even prepared some special gifts to give to Sirfairy's child.

On the contrary, the other Pokémon have never found a partner.

In the blink of an eye... another hundred years have passed. During these hundred years, Su Yu is still alive and well.

This greatly surprised Arceus. Logically speaking, human lifespans shouldn't be this long, right? Why is Su Yu still alive after two hundred years?

Su Yu was also puzzled, and after investigating, Arceus sighed almost imperceptibly and told Su Yu the reason.

"It's actually a caterpillar?!" Su Yu had originally thought that he would be the one to ask Xerneas for his results. But he never expected that the reason for this situation was right beside him.

"When did it happen..." Su Yu couldn't understand when exactly he had become bound to the life of the caterpillar.

He continued reading, and another hundred years passed.

Three hundred years had passed, and even the Sky Tree had grown incredibly tall. But all the human friends Su Yu had known had by then passed away.

The world is constantly changing and becoming more and more dynamic.

Under such circumstances, Su Yu in the simulation also felt that he could no longer stay in the real world. It was one thing to have no more attachments in the world, but living too long also made it easy to be captured and dissected.

Moreover, he had to use half of Caterpie's life force. This caused his face to show signs of aging.

"Perhaps... I should find a place to live in seclusion. Ideally, I could even try to create dishes that promote longevity," Su Yu thought to himself in the simulated world.

It was under these circumstances that he separated Hoopa from the real world and the pasture. From then on, Hoopa drifted in another dimension and became a legend among people.

Thus, Arceus's simulation came to an end.

The ending... he didn't see his own ending; on the contrary, the future became even more unpredictable.

However, he was truly shocked by his future self. Before he could even process what he had just witnessed, Arceus, still dissatisfied, began a new simulation.

In this simulation, He forced Su Yu to die at the age of one hundred. Under these circumstances, the Pokémon on the ranch suddenly felt that they had lost their leader.

Onion Soldier started getting drunk on the streets every day, and this time, it didn't look for a mate.

Blastoise lost interest in tending the farmland; it suddenly realized that farming wasn't so fun after all. As a result, the farmland on the ranch gradually fell into disrepair.

It was under these circumstances that the ranch gradually declined. Without Su Yu's management, many Pokémon became unable to afford food.

Some of them returned to the mountains and forests, while others remained on the pastures, guarding this desolate mountain until their solitude ended.

"..." Seeing this ending, Su Yu was speechless. Arceus, did you have to be so morbidly funny and show me this result?

However, to Su Yu's relief, thanks to the statue he erected and the large statue built by the United Alliance, the faith in Raicrown King remained steadfast. Even after three hundred years, there were still people who remembered Him.

After that, Arceus lost interest in simulation. He returned Su Yu's soul to its original form, while he himself returned to the primordial state.

The surrounding Pokémon all noticed Su Yu's unusual behavior. They anxiously gathered around him. Seeing this, Su Yu smiled and said:

"It's nothing, I just had a dream."

Hmm... a very strange dream, I even dreamt of the predicted future.

"By the way, in a while, let's invite all the familiar mythical beasts over and have a barbecue together."

"The task of delivering invitations and providing transportation... will probably have to be left to you, Hoopa."

In response, Hupa patted his chest confidently and said:

"Hmm—I'll leave it to you!"

And it was on the day of the barbecue...

Groudon and Kyogre were among the first of these legendary Pokémon to arrive. After all, Hoopa was very familiar with their lairs and had been there more than once.

Upon arrival, Groudon greeted Su Yu happily and inquired about the possibility of creating a new dish.

Upon hearing this, Kyogre and the two legendary Pokémon immediately started fighting. Seeing this, Su Yu quickly slipped away.

Suicune and Ho-Oh were the second group to arrive. They went directly to the ranch through the Yggdrasil's passage.

Ho-Oh was very impressed with Arcanine's progress and gave Rainbow Wings a boost of energy.

Marshadow peeked out from the shadows, no longer as socially awkward as before. Seeing this, Alcremie came over and invited him to play with the Pokémon on the ranch.

Regigigas and his smaller Regigigas arrived in the third wave. Following them were N, the Unova Trio, and Mega Mewtwo.

After N arrived, he talked incessantly with Su Yu about their progress in the Union. During this time of hard work, Quidditch even considered escaping from prison.

He assembled a group of evil people who possessed Genesect, intending to overthrow the Unova prison system. Fortunately, Mewtwo completed its Mega Evolution in time, preventing his escape.

"It seems you've found the answer with N." Su Yu said with a smile, looking at Mega Mewtwo.

"Speaking of which, where are Mew and the others? Mewtwo is here, why isn't Mew coming out to greet them?"

Su Yu looked at Hu Pa.

Upon hearing this, Hoopa appeared somewhat embarrassed. He chuckled and remained silent.

"Could it be... that they went to play in another competition?" Su Yu guessed.

This situation has occurred before in the past few months. Therefore, Su Yu had anticipated it.

Meanwhile, on the other side...

Mew, Darkrai, Jirachi, Celebi, and Manaphy—five Pokémon—sat in a row, battling in an entertainment tournament hosted by a certain game.

They even had Meloetta as a substitute, and the team was called "Phantom Beasts Team".

Having received a tip from Hoopa, they immediately slipped back to the ranch via the light wheel after the match.

Just then, Yang Hao stood not far away, his hands trembling, preparing to take pictures of Su Yu and all the Pokémon.

Behind Su Yu, besides a host of Pokémon, were many legendary Pokémon. Among them were even Zygarde and Black Rayquaza, which Hoopa had summoned from a parallel world.

Seeing that the Pokémon had returned, Su Yu quickly called them over. As Yang Hao pressed the shutter, a group photo of the legendary Pokémon and the Pokémon in the ranch was developed.

"Mew~"

Dream was the first to take the photo and examined it for a while.

Before long, everyone had a copy of the photo. Groudon, Kyogre, and others also had one.

Su Yu then called out to them, inviting them to join him for a barbecue. Upon hearing this, all the divine beasts gathered around.

Just then, the sky suddenly darkened. An enormous Pokémon appeared in the sky above Donghuang, causing it to become covered in dark clouds.

"Is it really an old friend?" Upon seeing Eterna, Rareco frowned. But glancing at the group of legendary Pokémon beside her, Rareco felt incredibly at ease.

Tens of thousands of years ago, He alone was no match for Eternatus, which is why the legend of He migrating all the Pokémon in a forest overnight came about.

But today... this troublesome guy doesn't seem to be a problem anymore.

Mukyuu Tana: ?

……

Several days later.

The colossal beast that suddenly appeared a few days ago, blotting out the sky, is still a topic of conversation among the people of Donghuang. But they all know that the savior who once saved the United States and Carlos has once again made his move.

After finishing all the miscellaneous matters in Donghuang, on this day...

Su Yu suddenly decided to embark on a long round-the-world trip to explore regions he hadn't yet thoroughly investigated. And this time, he planned to take the entire ranch with him.

Thinking of the future that Arceus had previously predicted, Su Yu felt a little melancholy.

But after that, he shook his head and convinced himself:

"After all, life always goes on. Although I can see the future, it is always uncertain until I make a real decision."

At least for now, these Pokémon are still by their side, and their lives are still going well.

This was three years after Su Yu began his journey.

Under the watchful eyes of Sirfetch'd and a host of Pokémon, a Pokémon egg, symbolizing the continuation of life, was born.

It seems like just yesterday that Arcanine was hatching from its egg. And now, Sirfetch'd is about to become a father.

For a moment, Su Yu was filled with emotion. He looked at the other Pokémon beside him and urged them:

"Hurry up, I'm eager to hold your baby soon!"

Upon hearing this, Hupa couldn't help but scratch his head.

"...I wasn't talking about you." Seeing this, Su Yu said speechlessly.
