Pokémon: Starting with a Pokémon Ranch.

Chapter 72 The Evolution of the Woolstice Sheep

Fireworks burst in the sky.

The once quiet surroundings suddenly became lively.

Fireworks burst forth one after another in the night sky, scattering a dazzling display that illuminated the entire night.

The caterpillar stared intently at this incredibly shocking scene, so stunned that its breathing became manual.

And its large black eyes reflected the scene of fireworks filling the sky.

Farfetch'd and Bulbasaur watched the scene quietly, but Farfetch'd was much calmer than Caterpie. It simply enjoyed the fireworks and felt the festive atmosphere of the New Year.

Meanwhile, under the moonlight, in a mountain forest.

The group of Dongdong mice, who were traveling under the cover of night, also saw the dazzling fireworks. They all stopped and watched the fireworks bloom one after another in the sky, as if trying to etch them into their memories.

"Sha..."

Looking at the fireworks filling the sky, Scyther was shocked. Is this what a human city is like?

It looks so appealing...

"Come on~!" Can we really get to a human town? Will that human really take us in?

Compared to life in the forest, life in human cities seems much more vibrant. Therefore, the Screw Mole expressed its concerns.

To this, Dongdong Mouse firmly replied:

"Knock knock, knock knock~!" Su Yu will definitely take us in. He's a man of his word, and I believe him.

"Crunch..."

"Sha..."

Upon hearing this, the Screw Mole and the Scythe exchanged a glance. Finally, they nodded, indicating they were willing to believe the Screw Mole.

Since you trust that human so much, let's try to believe you too. Perhaps the person who is willing to give energy cubes to wild Pokémon isn't a bad person after all.

After watching the fireworks, the group of Drummers continued their journey. They were still some distance from Su Yu's ranch.

……

……

Meanwhile, on the other side...

Perhaps because there were more people setting off fireworks on Su Yu's side, their fireworks display was still going on.

Meanwhile, Alcremie and Growlithe were also awakened by the sound of the fireworks exploding. They quickly ran out and looked at the sky filled with fireworks.

"Want to make a wish? Your first wish for the New Year?" Seeing this, Su Yu smiled and said to the Pokémon.

"Mama~!"

Upon hearing this, Alcremie immediately put her hands together in front of her chest, closed her eyes, and made a wish upon the starry sky.

—I hope... everyone on the ranch can stay together forever, and be happy forever.

Seeing this, Caterpie also made a wish to become stronger. One day, it would stand at the pinnacle of Bug-type Pokémon and protect all Caterpie-type Pokémon!

The little lambs that ride the sheep don't have any wishes. They are very similar to the woolly sheep and usually live a carefree life.

Seeing that the other Pokémon were making wishes, the little sheep simply started spinning and jumping, acting as an atmosphere group, and the energy of the grassy field spread around, turning into specks of firefly light.

"Quack..." Seeing that everyone seemed to have a wish, Farfetch'd panicked. It seemed... that it was the only one without a wish?

But its usual hobbies were nothing more than pursuing swordsmanship, farming, and collecting scallions. Before coming to Su Yu's ranch, its dream was probably to find a place with abundant food so that it could practice its swordsmanship properly and take care of the scallion that had been with it since it was a cub.

Wait... does that mean its wish has already been fulfilled?

"Quack!" Realizing this, Farfetch'd wiped the sweat from its forehead. Oh, I see. It's alright then.

After the fireworks ended, Yang Hao, carrying his Bulbasaur, prepared to return home.

Seeing this, Su Yu asked:

"Won't you stay a little longer with me?"

"No, the girl is waiting for me to go back and continue the video call with her!" Yang Hao replied.

"...Then I wish you good health," Su Yu said speechlessly.

You're getting worse and worse, kid.

When Su Yu returned to the house with the Pokémon, he noticed that two Woolsts seemed to be missing.

"That's strange, where are the Woolstätters?" Su Yu asked, puzzled. He searched the house and finally found the two Woolstätters in the kitchen.

At that moment, the two woolly sheep rummaged through the refrigerator and pulled out a grass cake, which they were wolfing down, completely unaware of Su Yu's arrival.

As they were eating, suddenly, a white light flashed on the woolly sheep.

"Is this... about to evolve?"

After accumulating so much energy over the past few days, coupled with their diligent training, Wooloo and the others are indeed due to evolve.

The grass cake Su Yu made, with the addition of hay, had its effects enhanced, even stimulating the Pokémon to evolve. The Wooloos ate the grass cake at that moment, just as it was time for them to evolve.

When the white light dissipated from the Wooloos, a new Pokémon, larger in size and with longer horns, appeared before Su Yu's eyes. This was the evolved form of the Wooloos—Wooloo.

After evolving, the woolly sheep not only has longer, more aggressive horns, but its wool has also become much longer, and the quality of the wool has also improved.

It is said that carpets woven from woolly sheep's wool are like spring mats, allowing people to jump and bounce on them.

"Mai ah~!"

After evolving, Wooloo looked around at the Pokémon that had approached it, completely bewildered, not knowing what had happened.

Seeing this, Su Yu smiled and said:

"Congratulations on your evolution, Woolhorn Sheep. How is it? Do you notice any changes after evolving?"

"Mah..."

Upon hearing this, the woolly sheep felt its evolved body and realized it was now filled with even more power than before.

And... it seems I've even learned a new move?

"Wait, don't use your moves inside the house yet, go outside to use them..."

Seeing that the woolly horned sheep seemed to be preparing to use a move, Su Yu quickly said.

Upon hearing this, the woolly horned sheep's confused eyes cleared up, and they led Su Yu outside, using the new move they had learned.

"This is……"

Watching the Woolling leap high into the air and then crash heavily to the ground, Su Yu recognized it as the Flying-type move, [Jump].

"This suits you quite well," Su Yu said with a smile.

The wool of woolly sheep is already very elastic. After being rounded and protected with cotton, they shrink into a ball, which can only make them jump higher.

After jumping high into the air, the woolly horned sheep seem to be able to use the time it takes to fall to use the "Charge" move to accelerate themselves and finally crash into their enemies like meteors.

"That's a really good combo..."

Su Yu thought to himself.

But what should this combination move be called? A low-budget version of Dragon God Dive?
