Pokémon: Starting with a Pokémon Ranch.

Chapter 81 Oh right, I seem to be one of our own?

at the same time.

The loud noise made by the lambs digging in the soil was also noticed by Mela from a distance.

While the monsters were digging, Mela came over and took a look, only to see something that shocked her as well.

"Have these little sheep... learned the Crazy Plants technique?" Mela exclaimed in surprise.

Moreover, it's a highly skilled Crazy Plant, far more powerful than any Crazy Plant Mela had ever seen.

The boss truly lives up to his reputation; even an ordinary little lamb on the ranch possesses such immense power. Clearly, the boss is no ordinary person.

I'm afraid any ordinary Pokémon in the ranch right now could easily defeat my strongest Machamp...

After expressing her admiration for Su Yu, Meila tactfully withdrew.

Such a powerful steed, a lamb, shouldn't be unknown in the pastoral area. But she had never heard of it, which meant that the boss was deliberately keeping it low-key.

What so-called new rancher...? Would a normal new rancher have such a powerful mount sheep? Such a powerful mount sheep must have taken at least years to raise, right?

This is probably a rancher who has been running a ranch in other places for many years, or a powerful trainer who has traveled for many years and is tired of it, and has returned to his hometown to inherit the ranch.

No wonder, the boss already had a Growlithe when he first arrived. Looking back, it seems he already showed signs of being someone special back then. Could an ordinary person... possibly own such a rare Pokémon as Growlithe?

Therefore, Mela was not so tactless as to overreact or publicize the matter. She was just an ordinary dung beetle and there was no need for her to get involved in so many troublesome things.

So Mela went back to the Mighty Ones and then directed them to dig a fishpond.

The Mighty ones noticed that Mela's expression seemed a little strange after she returned from her trip to Squirtle's. They asked her with concern:

"What's wrong?"

"Ah...it's nothing, you guys keep digging, it'll be fine."

Hearing the strongmen's concern, Mela waved her hand, indicating that she was not feeling unwell.

The little lambs on their steeds dug until evening before they finally finished.

During this time, Su Yu also had the tropical dragon deliver freshly made grass cakes to his mounts, the little sheep, to replenish their grass-type energy.

Incidentally, Tropius also helped dig a fish pond for a while. The four-bladed swordsmanship that Tropius displayed while digging the fish pond also amazed Squirtle.

Such a brilliant idea, and the fact that it could actually be realized, left Squirtle utterly astonished by the appearance of the Four-Leaf Blade Sword Technique.

This innovative idea is one of the reasons that Squirtle was amazed.

In addition, to truly be able to use four leaf blades simultaneously would probably require a lot of effort, a certain amount of talent, and sufficient resources; all three are indispensable.

Sure enough, none of the Pokémon on this ranch were simple. The strength of this Tropius alone far surpassed that of the Pokémon at the mayor's house!

"Jenny, Jenny..." This ranch seems a little scary...

As a former fire chief, surrounded by so many powerful Pokémon, I felt so weak, pitiful, and helpless...

Squirtle felt himself starting to sweat.

But... these Pokémon seem to consider me one of their own?

That's fine.

This should clearly be... a strong sense of security!

Noticing Squirtle's gaze, Tropius smiled gently. It plucked a fruit from its neck and handed it to Squirtle.

Squirtle held the fruit in both hands, brought it to its mouth, and took a bite. The taste was incredibly sweet and delicious.

"Jenny Jenny~!" Delicious, sweet!

Squirtle chuckled and gave another thumbs up.

Tropical Dragon had by now gotten used to Squirtle's strange behavior. It lifted its foot to take a look, but unfortunately, it couldn't give a thumbs up.

At this moment, Su Yu also sent over the Growlithe dogs to call them home for dinner.

Meanwhile, Meila and the others were also getting ready to wrap up work. As they passed by Su Yu's little house, Su Yu asked:

"Would you like to stay for dinner? We're having hot pot with butter tonight."

Upon hearing this, Mela shook her head and said:

"No, we have to go back now. We'll come back tomorrow to continue digging for you."

"Alright then." At this moment, Su Yu was repairing a new duck house for the ducklings at home.

He had been busy all afternoon building a place for the ducklings to live, and now it was finally finished.

"Alright, this will be the ducklings' new home from now on. Let's take them inside and have a look." With that, Su Yu put down the hammer in his hand and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Upon hearing this, Frost Fairy curiously walked into the duck house, and the ducklings followed behind her.

Considering the possibility of new ducks hatching later, Su Yu built a fairly large duck house. The entrance to the duck house was also large enough that Su Yu could walk in without bending over.

This duck house is so big, it's almost as big as the makeshift warehouse that Su Yu built to store things.

Just then, the tropical dragons returned. The first thing the tropical dragons did upon returning to the cabin was to run to find Su Yu.

Su Yu immediately understood what the tropical dragon meant. He went back into the house, took out the fruit and milk jelly he had prepared in advance, and fed it to the tropical dragon.

After eating the fruit milk jelly, the tropical dragon immediately channeled the energy within its body, shrinking itself to the size of Alcremie.

This startled Squirtle, who was pulling out its stainless steel teacup from its bag and preparing to sit down for a rest. How could this tropical dragon learn to shrink?

However, it had been completely stunned by the Pokémon at Su Yu Ranch all day. Now, seeing such phenomena that would be completely unbelievable elsewhere, it felt somewhat used to it.

It's nothing, I've just been watching too much all day and I'm numb.

Meanwhile, the little sheep that were riding nearby explained the reason for this phenomenon to Squirtle, introducing the magic of the dishes made by Su Yu.

Almost every dish made by Su Yu possesses unique abilities. Examples include grass cake, marshmallows, milk pudding, and special spicy strips.

The fruit milk jelly that Tropius just ate was also a dish specially made by Su Yu for Tropius. Almost every Pokémon on the ranch has a special dish made by Su Yu for it.

"Jenny, Jenny..." That sounds amazing. Is this a special ability of the rancher?

Hearing the explanation from the little sheep mounts, Squirtle suddenly understood. At the same time, it began to look forward to its own special dish. If Su Yu could make it a special dish about water cannons, that would be wonderful.

If I can learn how to use the water cannon, then when I return to the Squirtle Fire Brigade, I can become the coolest guy there.

After all, so far, it seems that no Pokémon from the Squirtle Fire Brigade has been able to learn the Hydro Pump move at Squirtle's stage.
