Pokémon: Start with a Pokémon Ranch

Chapter 258 Harvesting Rice

After sending the mayor away, Su Yu stopped observing Dongdongshu.

It looked like it was having a lot of fun on its own. The ability to transform into lightning is almost unrivaled among this group of newcomers. Even worse, it also mastered special thundering moves through Su Yu's previous cooking.

This is obtained from the move imprint, and its power is extremely powerful, far beyond ordinary thunder.

At present, the reputation of the trial in the ranch has just spread, and there are quite a lot of newcomers from the surrounding towns who come to challenge it. But after the heat subsides, fewer people may come.

Therefore, Su Yu plans to hold another trial in the future, in the form of a 1v1 guidance battle, to specifically guide some of the newcomers.

To put it bluntly, it is a high-quality trial, not a bad trial like now, but careful guidance.

……

Go back inside.

King Slow is still studying at this time. He is holding a geography book with great interest and has now read the last one of the nine-year mission.

Seeing Su Yu coming, King Daidai said with a dull expression:

"Angel, I have read all these geography books. Can you lend me some new ones?"

"Are you interested in geography? Also, don't call me the Divine Envoy... I already told you that I'm not from Lugia." Su Yu said helplessly.

In response, King Daidai nodded seriously: "Okay, envoy."

Su Yu:......

"Then I'll go to the library in town and check it out later."

"By the way, did you stay up late reading last night?"

Looking at the dark circles under King Dude's eyes, Su Yu asked doubtfully. It feels like you haven't slept at all these days.

"Yes, because I think sleep is so inefficient in using the brain that it's not worth it at all."

"Even if you want to sleep, you must first use up the existing energy in your brain before you go to rest."

Su Yu:......

Your brain can hold it, but your body can't!

I can finally see that you are a top liver emperor. And it seems that because his brain is too developed, King Slow has endless energy.

"Let's do this. I'll go get you a [Stand-in] move secret book. With this, you should be able to improve your learning efficiency."

"But the premise is that you must ensure that you sleep every day. Otherwise, I'm afraid your body won't be able to bear it."

By creating clones using stand-in moves, Slow King can speed up its learning efficiency. And its developed brain can also support multiple programs in parallel.

In this case, you can always accept it, right?

……

After helping King Daidai get the secrets of moves, Su Yu let him learn on his own.

As for himself, he glanced outside the room.

The ducks that Frosty Milk Fairy was looking after have recently hatched some ducklings. At this time, they were taking the little duck to learn to swim.

The Slowpoke beasts were lying by the lake, basking in the sun leisurely. From time to time, a Slowpoke would raise its tail, because there was a fish taking the bait.

The sweet substance secreted by the tail is a natural bait. Therefore, each of the Slowpoke are masters of fishing, and there is almost no precedent for the Air Force.

In the rice fields in the distance, golden wheat ears and emerald green rice leaves form a vast ocean. As the sea breeze blows, waves of rice sway.

"It's time to harvest these rice..."

After calling the Flying Mantis, Su Yu was ready to harvest the rice. Before leaving, he took two straw hats and put one on the Flying Mantis.

He explained:

"It's already June now, and the sun will get bigger and bigger in the future."

"If you have nothing to do, you still have to pay attention to sun protection."

Although, for Pokémon that can withstand the power of moves, this little bit of sun is nothing. But like mosquito bites, they always feel uncomfortable.

"Huh——"

Hearing this, the Flying Mantis also nodded.

When they arrived at the field, several mosquito-repellent tadpoles playing in the water swam away quickly upon seeing this. Not long after, Mr. Mosquito Repellent Repellent arrived.

Seeing that they seemed a little nervous, Su Yu guessed that they were afraid that he was here to chase them away, so he explained:

"Flying Mantis and I are just here to harvest these rice, don't be nervous."

"By the way, has your lair been built? Can you take me to see it?"

Hearing this, the mosquito-repellent incense gentlemen relaxed.

They turned around, glanced at the mosquito tadpoles hiding not far away, and nodded.

Taking Su Yu along, they came to a pool. This place was excavated by the screw gopher before and was originally used to store water.

The water source of this pool leads directly to Moon Lake, which saves you the trouble of carrying water back and forth. Now it seems that it is just the right choice for mosquito repellent incense gentlemen.

In the pond, there are many nests built by mosquito-repellent incense masters, and many mosquito-repellent incense tadpoles are swimming around in them.

Some of the tadpoles were even born after their parents came to the pasture.

"It's not bad. It seems you are adapting well to this place."

Seeing that the mosquito-repellent-repellent clan has multiplied in the rice fields, Su Yu felt relieved. He took the flying mantis back and started harvesting rice.

Putting the ears of rice one after another on the ridge of the field, the flying mantis waving its arms quickly.

With such a Pokémon that is good at harvesting, Su Yu only needs to hit the target. And while we were busy, the time soon reached noon.

"Let's go back for lunch first. Take a break at noon and continue again in the afternoon."

Su Yu said after wiping the sweat from his forehead. After the rice is harvested, it must be sent for threshing.

But now that they have arrived in the elf world, Su Yu doesn't intend to thresh the seeds himself. Just leave this kind of thing to the movers.

Make an instrument for threshing. By shaking the rice ears and beating them on the wooden grid, the rice will be quickly thrown off.

This method is actually quite primitive, but it is also Su Yu's first time to harvest rice. He planned to buy a machine the next time he went to town.

Let the porter be busy first, and in the afternoon, Su Yu went to help the Flying Mantis.

After the threshing of the rice, Su Yu also asked the transporter to move it to the roof to dry it.

The passing Frost Milk Fairies were also very curious about this kind of farm work, and even wanted to do it themselves and thresh the grains for the porter.

And after working for most of the day...

All the rice in the farmland has been harvested. And this is the productivity of the elf world.

But with so much rice... I might have to trouble the Coal Turtle to dry it out.

After getting off work with Feitian Mantis, who had been busy all day, Su Yu stopped by the Sky Tree and picked some leaves from the auditorium tree before returning home.

These tea leaves are just right for frying.

That night...

Using fresh rice to cook directly, Su Yu served the dishes one after another.

The dining table was filled with Pokémon from the ranch.

The Dongdong rat was chirping, telling the Frost Milk Fairy and the others about his experiences during the day, describing how he had killed everyone.

"Mama..." It sounds so powerful.

Hearing Dongdong Mouse's description, Frost Milk Fairy and the others were very excited. Frost Milk Fairy even came to Su Yu and asked about any dishes that could strengthen it.

"Ah, you?"

There seems to be no cuisine suitable for Frost Milk Fairy.

Su Yu shook his head regretfully.

But before, Frost Milk Fairy didn't like fighting very much. Why did she suddenly act abnormally today?

On the other side, Suicune and Wind Speed ​​Dog also caught up with dinner time after running outside all day.

When going out today, Fengsugou also tried to bring Caller Wang with him, put it on his head, and went out to see the world together.

The Slow King on the side was holding the [Substitute's] move secret book, watching it while eating, and didn't even miss the time to eat.
