Pokémon: Start with a Pokémon Ranch

Chapter 40 The Duel between the Braided Sheep and the Mounted Lamb (Please follow up on Tuesday)
The battle between the tropical dragon and the budding deer ended in the budding deer's narrow victory.

Compared with the sprouting deer, the tropical dragon was stronger in terms of physical fitness and overall strength, but in terms of combat skills, it was much worse than the sprouting deer, so it lost in the end.

But the sprouting deer only narrowly won, not easily.

And this is before Tropical Dragon has developed four leaf blades.

"Uncle Yang said before that he could definitely reach the top eight. Doesn't it mean that if I participate now, I can be almost as good as the top eight?"

Su Yu said in surprise.

But then I thought about it, yes, Tropical Dragon was not bad from the beginning when he was subdued by him.After that, he followed Green Onion Duck to practice swordsmanship. It would be strange if he didn't make it to the top eight.

Not all ranchers like to fight, most of them are just ordinary herders in pastoral areas.

"It seems that if Tropical Dragon wants to take first place, there is no hope..."

If you really master the four-leaf sword technique, you might be able to come back first.

When the battle between the Tropical Dragon and the Bud Deer was over, Su Yu also took the wound medicine over and treated their wounds left after the battle.

Bringing the budding deer back to the hut, Su Yu took a grass cake and placed it in front of it and said:
"You should also like this. I don't know your taste, but tropical dragons like it."

Hearing this, the sprouting deer sniffed the grass cake and tried to take a bite.

Then, it nodded, indicating that it tasted pretty good.

"That's good. If you think it tastes good, you can eat more."

"I have something to do to find Uncle Yang. Just stay around this house and don't run around, otherwise I might not be able to find you. When Tropical Dragon isn't looking for you to practice with, you can arrange your time here as you wish."

With such instructions, Su Yu also took the Kati dog with him and went to Uncle Yang's ranch.

When they arrived at the place, Uncle Yang took Su Yu to a sheepfold and said:

"Here, these three mount lambs are ready for you. These three have pretty good qualifications. One of them even inherited the grass field move and has learned how to use it."

A grassy field?Have you learned this?

That mount lamb has a very good talent.

In particular, Su Yu is in urgent need of this move right now. The medicine in his medicine field is growing too slowly, and he urgently needs a green grass field to increase the concentration of grass energy in the surrounding area.

Uncle Yang said to the lambs:
"This is the new rancher I told you about before. You will follow him from now on. You shouldn't be unwilling, right?"

"Yeah~!"

The mounted lambs all shook their heads.

Su Yu smiled and said:

"I still have a few braided sheep over there. When you get over, they will have new companions."

"Don't worry. I guarantee you good food and drink when you go to my place. I won't treat you badly."

With that said, Su Yu put the mounted lambs into the elf ball.

At this time, Uncle Yang asked Su Yu some tips on raising mounted lambs, and said by the way:

"By the way, it's best for mount lambs to eat some specially bred nutrient-rich pasture, because if they want to produce goat milk, their nutritional needs will be higher."

"The seeds of this grass... I still have some here, so I'll give them to you."

"Remember to plant it when you go back. This kind of grass is much better than the grass that grows naturally in the pasture. It just needs someone to take care of it."

"Besides, those mount lambs have been raised here for a while. After you take them over and raise them for a while, they should be able to produce goat milk."

"You remember to squeeze that thing every once in a while, otherwise the lambs will feel uncomfortable."

Hearing this, Su Yu nodded.

"Okay, I remember it all."

After Uncle Yang finished his instructions, Su Yu returned to the ranch with the Kati dog.

Back at the ranch, the braided sheep have been waiting for a long time.They had long heard that Su Yu said that a new lamb was coming, and at this moment, they were all waiting around the entrance of the sheepfold.

Seeing that Su Yu was back, they kept urging "Yeah" and "Yeah". Seeing this, Su Yu smiled and said:

"Okay, okay, don't rush."

"Mount Lamb, come meet your new companions." With that, Su Yu released the mount lambs from the elf ball.

After being released, the mounted lambs curiously looked at their new surroundings, while the braided sheep eagerly gathered around them.

Braided Sheep: "Hey!"

Mounted Lamb: "What?"

Braided Sheep: "Baaaah~!"

Seeing such a chaotic scene, Su Yu felt that his ears couldn't bear it, and his ears were filled with the bleating sounds of the sheep.

He quickly patted the lamb that Uncle Yang said had learned to ride on the grass field, and took it away from the flock.

Taking the mount lamb to the medicine field, Su Yu asked the mount lamb to try to use the grass field move on the medicine field.

After all, the purpose of bringing his mount lambs back was not only to need the goat milk they produced, but more importantly, to increase the grass energy in the soil.

After hearing this, Mount Xiaoyang did as he was told.

As the mount lamb used the green grass field, a grass energy spread around the mount lamb's feet.It is obviously winter at this moment, but it gives people a feeling that the earth is about to revive and everything is lush.

Under the influence of the green grass field, the medicinal materials in the medicine field also swayed one after another, seeming to speed up their growth.

While riding the goat to use the grass field, Su Yu also observed these medicinal materials.After observing for a while, Su Yu asked his mount Lamb to stop and said:

"That's all right. It's enough to use the grass field for just a short time a day. If it's used more, it might be detrimental to the growth."

"I may have to trouble you to come here every day to use the grass field in the future. I will make you some more grass cakes to eat. Thank you."

"Yeah~!" You're welcome.

Hearing this, the mount lamb shook its body happily. It seemed that releasing the grass energy in this way was a good feeling for it.

Su Yu also returned to the hut with the mount lamb.When passing by the sheepfold, Su Yu was stunned for a moment.Because he saw that the lambs inside seemed to be dueling?
The atmosphere between the mounted lambs and the braided sheep was quite harmonious, and their duel seemed more playful in nature.

But Su Yu heard the Frost Milk Fairy who was watching the battle say that it seemed like the lambs were using this method to decide who would be the leader of the group.

This made Su Yu interested. The two sides in the duel were the braided sheep and the mounted lamb.The braided sheep sent to the field was the one recognized as the strongest within their small group.The same is true for the mount lamb.

After returning to the house to prepare some marshmallows, Su Yu walked out of the house and came to the sheepfold to watch the show.

He gave Frosty Milk Fairy a marshmallow beside him and said happily:
"Why do you seem to be there every time I eat melon? Do you love melon so much?"

Are you the legendary melon-eater?
"Then after a while, I will plant some watermelons on the farm. When summer comes, we can eat melons and watch a show like this."

"Mama?"

Hearing this, Frost Milk Fairy didn't understand what eating melons meant, but she liked watching the fun.

After giving the marshmallows in his hand to other Pokémon, Su Yu continued to watch the show.

Inside the sheepfold, the mounted lambs were using vine whips and impacts.But on the braided sheep side, they used rounding and cotton defense. They first added some buffs to themselves to improve their defense.

These two moves made the braided sheep's wool fluff up and roll into a huge ball, greatly improving its defense.

Faced with this situation, the mount lamb attacked repeatedly, but all of them were unable to penetrate the braided sheep's layer of cotton-soft wool defense, which seemed very difficult.

Even though the braided sheep transformed into this spherical form, it did not completely lose its ability to attack.In the ball form, it can still use the slam and headbutt moves. The slam is the one it has just learned recently, and it is very powerful.

But it didn't use slamming. It seemed that it was just for fun and there was no need to use these overly powerful moves.

After repeated attacks to no avail, Mount Lamb also tried to use parasitic seeds, hoping to continue the protracted battle by absorbing the opponent's physical strength to replenish itself.

But after persisting for a while, Mount Lamb gave up.Because the braided sheep not only had strong defense, but also had much stronger physical strength. This was the result of Su Yu always feeding the braided sheep grass cakes.

Although the grass energy in the grass cake is rich, it is not that useful to the braided sheep.But grass cake also has other effects on herbivorous Pokémon. Long-term consumption has many benefits.

Because of this, Mount Lamb finally gave up helplessly.Because it found that even with all its physical strength, it couldn't defeat this braided sheep.Its proficiency in parasitic seeds is far from making this battle sustainable.

Eventually, it recognized the braided sheep as the leader of its flock.
