Pokémon: Starting with a Pokémon Ranch.

Chapter 63 Is this a grassy field? I think it's a crazy plant field.

I picked up the monthly newspaper that the postman had just delivered and glanced at it.

With the advent of television, Su Yu's reliance on newspapers diminished somewhat. However, this was a good opportunity to catch up and see what major events he had missed this month while not watching television.

However, the news in the newspapers is pretty much the same as before.

"Are Gaul and Daiying fighting again? This time, is it over that secret realm that wasn't properly allocated last time?"

"I'm curious, once Galar and Kalos arrive, which will be stronger, Dynamax or Mega Evolution?"

Looking at the newspaper, Su Yu thought to himself.

The arrival of Pokémon in the world also follows certain patterns. Su Yu felt that there was a high probability that it would arrive according to its corresponding prototype region.

Just like how Mount Shirogane fell into Japan, and Mount Gyrogoa fell into the East.

After all, Arcanine has quite a reputation in the Pokémon world; it's said to be a legendary Pokémon from the Eastern Kingdom.

The various alliances are constantly at odds with each other due to the various secret realms that have appeared in different regions. This is something that happens almost every day.

It's practically a regular feature in the monthly newspaper.

Turning to the other side of the news article, Su Yu's eyes suddenly widened in shock.

Looking at this news, Su Yu said with great surprise:

"This... the Hoenn region has actually arrived?"

The newspaper headline read: "The Hoenn Region is Coming!" It turned out that the news Su Yu had seen months ago about the impending arrival of a giant secret realm described the Hoenn region.

Su Yu originally thought that this giant secret realm would be a special secret realm like Silver Mountain or Speedhound Valley. But to his surprise, the result was completely opposite to his guess; what he found was an even larger secret realm.

The official statement has been corrected, changing the level of this secret realm to a super-large secret realm and establishing a new secret realm level.

Furthermore, after making contact with the people within the secret realm, Donghuang took the lead in naming this secret realm Hoenn.

The location where this secret realm descends is in the vast sea south of Japan, and does not overlap with Japan itself.

And its size seems to be much larger than that of Japan... Well, that makes sense, after all, it's a large region in the Pokémon world, so it's normal for it to be quite large.

Su Yu's eyes flickered upon hearing this news. Hoenn actually came?

In that case, the arrival speed of those giant Pokémon regions far exceeds Su Yu's previous expectations. Perhaps Kanto, Unova, and other regions will follow suit.

Those strange stones he collected before might come in handy. It would be great if Daigo could visit his ranch.

Su Yu had already washed his butt... ah, no, he had prepared all sorts of strange stones, just waiting for Daigo to arrive.

"However, Groudon and Kyogre probably didn't come with the Hoenn League, otherwise the people on Aquamarine would have been in an uproar."

Su Yu thought to himself.

After all, if those two were to descend, they might be fighting right now, and the commotion they could cause would be considerable. There's no reason why the people of Aquamarine Star wouldn't know.

After seeing this much of the news, there's nothing new left.

Su Yu glanced at the time on the clock. The Hoenn matter was still too far away. Right now, he should prepare breakfast first.

By the time Su Yu finished making breakfast, most of the other Pokémon had also gotten up.

Su Yu glanced at the woolly sheep that were still sleeping not far away. It seemed that these sheep had stayed up quite late last night. They were still asleep.

"It's alright, let them continue sleeping, let's eat first." Saying this to the Pokémon, Su Yu moved chairs out for them to sit on.

While eating, Su Yu asked curiously:

"By the way, little lambs... are you feeling any better today?"

Su Yu still remembered the strange reaction of his little sheep mounts two days ago after he applied the Water of Life to them.

I wonder if they've gotten any better after two days.

"Meow..."

Upon hearing this, the little lambs shook their heads. The strange feeling in their bodies had not yet dissipated, especially their skills; they still couldn't use a single move.

"That's strange... I didn't have any problems with my body when I had my checkup," Su Yu said, puzzled.

He threw a scout at his ram mounts. After seeing the information on it, Su Yu suddenly understood.

The information displayed on the reconnaissance panel was as follows:

"Target for reconnaissance: Mounted lamb (in the process of metamorphosis, outcome unknown)"

Favorability rating: 91 (You are the person they trust the most)

Learned moves: Razor Leaf, Photosynthesis, Grassy Terrain, Seed Bomb...

Available templates: None (Does not meet the requirements for loading mythical beast templates; no suitable templates available).

Note: The changes in your body caused by the "Water of Life" are unknown. Please replenish your mount's grass-type energy in time.

Transformation ends 128 hours and 52 minutes later (this time may be shortened)

So that's the reason...

Su Yu never expected that a few drops of the Water of Life could have such an effect, and could actually cause his little sheep mount to undergo a transformation.

"Unfortunately, tropical dragons cannot use this water of life."

Su Yu had actually tried applying the Water of Life to the tropical dragon, but the problem was that the tropical dragon's skin seemed to be like tree bark, making it impossible for it to absorb the Water of Life.

However, Su Yu was worried that if he gave the tropical dragon the water orally, it might not be able to absorb it. If something went wrong, such as the water of life being too powerful and burning through the tropical dragon's stomach, that would be terrible.

Therefore, Su Yu had no choice but to keep these Life Waters and see which Pokémon he could use them on next.

As for the time it takes for this transformation...

Su Yu figured it out: all he needed to do was replenish the Grass-type energy of his little sheep mounts, and the time would be shortened.

And it was simple; he might not have anything else, but he had plenty of grass cakes!

Su Yu took out a mountain of grass cakes and told his little sheep to eat them as much as they could, until they couldn't eat anymore.

Looking at the mountain of grass cakes, the little lambs were both happy and tormented. Happy because the grass cakes were delicious, and they loved them. But tormented because they had to keep eating so much grass cake…

They ate until their bellies were round and bulging. When they got tired, they lay down to rest. Pokémon have pretty strong digestive abilities.

Once their bellies had shrunk, they got up and continued to work hard to finish off the small mountain of grass cakes.

Thanks to the tireless efforts of the little sheep mounts, the transformation time displayed on the system finally reached "0" on the second day.

The green light emanating from the little sheep finally dissipated, and at this moment, Su Yu also brought them outside, wanting to see what kind of changes the Water of Life had brought to them.

"Little lamb, use the grassy field, let me see how it's different from before!" Su Yu said.

Upon hearing this, the first of the little sheep to learn Grassy Ground stepped forward and used it outside the house.

At first, the grassy area hadn't changed much; it was just like before, except that the grass-based energy in the surrounding soil had increased, and all things around it were growing.

Even on a snowy day, grass can still grow here; perhaps this is the magical power of Pokémon.

But gradually, things started to look strange. After reaching the maximum height the grass could previously grow, the grass continued to grow. And… it even mutated!

Numerous mutated vines grew out of the grassy area, including ferocious plants like man-eating flowers.

Under the control of his mount, the little sheep, these ferocious plants did not attack Su Yu, but instead fought each other continuously, creating a chaotic scene.

This completely stunned Su Yu. He felt that this was not a grassy field, but rather a crazy plant field used by other Pokémon.

These vines were as thick as a pillar. They were almost as thick as the crazy plants used by the powerful Pokémon that Su Yu had seen on TV.

"no……"

"You call this a grassy field?" Su Yu asked in surprise.

Could "Ning" be the legendary Little Xerneas?

Why don't you become the god of life?

The scene unfolding on this grassy field was almost identical to the scene Su Yu had seen Xerneas make his entrance in the movie. Calling him a smaller version of Xerneas wouldn't be an exaggeration at all.

"How come even your little sheep mounts are starting to defy the heavens..."

Su Yu felt that the Pokémon on his ranch were becoming increasingly illegal, and they were all starting to become bizarre.

With Rayquaza ahead and Xerneas behind, Tropius can be considered a mini-Vilizion, while Farfetch'd and Growlithe have a promising future.

"I'm going to build a pantheon..." Su Yu said, his lips twitching.

Hmm... it seems like it might not be a bad idea.

Oh wait, my initial dream was just to become an ordinary rancher with enough food to last me...
