Pokémon: Starting with a Pokémon Ranch.

Chapter 57 The Strange Things About the Mounted Lambs

Not long after Farfetch'd and the others went out to find Dolphin's companions.

Soon, the tropical dragon returned with them, along with the companions that Dongdong Mouse had described.

Seeing that its companion had been found, Dongdong Mouse was very happy. It jumped onto the back of one of the mawful mice and said goodbye to Su Yu.

"Are you leaving so soon? Aren't you going to stay and rest for a while?" Su Yu handed a large bag of energy cubes to Wanli and said this.

Upon hearing this, Dongdong Mouse shook its head. Its companions were still starving, and it had to go back as soon as possible.

"Alright then, how about we let the tropical dragon give you a ride?"

Su Yu knew that some wild Pokémon were very wary of humans and, if possible, did not want humans to know where they lived.

Therefore, Su Yu only suggested that Tropius escort Dedentus and the others a short distance. This way, the location of the Pokémon would not be revealed.

The Drummers accepted this and thanked Su Yu.

"You're welcome. Have a safe journey."

As he spoke, Su Yu silently watched as the tropical dragon, along with the dung-dung rats, slowly ascended into the air and gradually disappeared into the distance.

Back inside, the bottle of Life Water that Dongdong Mouse had just brought was still on the table. Picking up the liquid, Su Yu pondered what it could be used for.

"If it's useful for plants, perhaps... it could be used on the little sheep we ride?"

Su Yu thought to himself.

The green, leaf-like things on the lambs' backs seem to be what they rely on for photosynthesis. So, in a way, shouldn't they be considered plants?

With a try-it-out mentality, Su Yu summoned all his mounts, the little sheep, and applied some of the Water of Life to them.

After being applied, the Water of Life was immediately absorbed by the riding lambs. Su Yu then asked:

"How is it? Do you feel anything unusual, or is there anything different from usual?"

Upon hearing this, the little lambs on their mounts shook their heads.

Apart from the green vegetation around its body that seemed to glow, there were no other changes.

"Is it because too little 'water of life' was applied, or is there some other reason?"

Su Yu looked at the last remaining Water of Life in his hand, and finally decided to observe it first before making a decision. If it really wasn't of any use, he would keep it to soak plant seeds.

And it was on the very next day...

As is customary, Su Yu rode the tropical dragon early in the morning to deliver goat milk to the pre-ordered customers.

This naturally includes the owners of the electronics stores.

The owner was getting old and had developed many health problems. But in this world with Pokémon, many injuries could be easily healed.

However, Pokémon's healing moves are ineffective against old ailments accumulated from aging. After all, these aren't wounds or anything like that.

The electronics store owner had already given up hope of curing his chronic health problems. He'd already amassed a fortune in his life, and for the rest of his days, he just wanted to live as comfortably as possible.

However, on this very day, after Su Yu delivered the goat milk, the appliance store owner, adhering to the principle that since he had bought it, he shouldn't waste it, picked up the goat milk and took a sip.

Upon tasting it, the smooth texture and rich flavor of goat milk unfolded. However, after drinking the entire bottle of goat milk, the appliance store owner felt that this bottle seemed somewhat different from the one from yesterday.

"What's going on with this goat milk...?"

After drinking goat milk, the appliance store owner felt significant relief from the chronic ailments that had plagued him for years. Even his previously very dry finger joints felt much less dry when he moved them.

"That's strange. I didn't feel this way with yesterday's bottle of goat milk. Why is this one acting so oddly today?"

The appliance store owner asked, puzzled.

However, it's not enough to tell much from just one bottle of goat milk. The appliance store owner thought about it and ultimately decided to wait until he drank a few more bottles to confirm the effect before asking Su Yu about it.

……

……

Su Yu was unaware of the things that had happened to the appliance store owner.

But after returning to the ranch, he encountered a similar situation.

At this moment, Su Yu was originally planning to call his mount, Little Sheep, to go to the field and, as usual, use the grassy area to replenish the soil with grass-type energy.

However, Su Yu felt quite strange after seeing the little sheep he was riding.

"That's strange. I was so focused on milking that I didn't notice, but the green light on you guys is getting stronger and stronger."

Looking at the intense light emanating from the little sheep mounts, Su Yu said this.

So that "water of life" was originally used as an ambient light? I must say, the shimmering green light actually looks quite nice, with a unique charm.

"Forget it, let's not worry about that anymore. Let's go to the field and use the grassy area to replenish our grass-type energy."

As he spoke, Su Yu called over the little sheep that had first learned to ride the grassy field.

Although the other mount sheep gradually learned to use the grassy terrain with the help of grass cake and grass cake, the one that mastered the moves the most first was still the most skilled.

Normally, this little sheep is the one who loves to contemplate nature the most, and has the deepest understanding of grassy fields.

Having arrived at the destination with the little sheep mount, Su Yu instructed it to use the Grassy Ground feature. However, this time, the little sheep mount seemed to be holding back something, and the Grassy Ground feature couldn't be activated.

"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" Su Yu asked, puzzled.

"Mwah..." Upon hearing this, the little sheep on its mount shook its head, indicating that it didn't know what was going on either; they had been like this since they woke up this morning.

Su Yu then stepped forward to examine the little sheep's body; treating Pokémon's illnesses was one of his specialties.

However, after examining the lamb for a long time, they couldn't find any disease in it. Seeing this, Su Yu was also very puzzled.

"It might be because you applied the Water of Life yesterday. Perhaps the Water of Life is improving your body, which is why you are experiencing this."

As he spoke, Su Yu patted the head of his little sheep mount and continued:

"Then you go and have fun first. We'll observe the situation for the next few days and see what happens."

Upon hearing this, the little lamb on its steed trotted back to the flock.

Su Yu glanced at the herb field and realized that he seemed to have nothing to do now.

The lake was frozen and fish couldn't be caught, and most of the fields were no longer planted. The only place with greenhouses and scallions was being cared for by scallion ducks.

"Forget it, since I have nothing to do, I might as well go home and watch TV."

Su Yu thought to himself. Anyway, it was quite difficult for him to find something to do outside in such cold weather.
