Pokémon: Start with a Pokémon Ranch

Chapter 56 Plan to hire wild Pokémon
After explaining the truth to the braided sheep, Su Yu went to deliver some food to the hairy crabs.

It's cold here, and if you keep the energy cube outside all the time, it will freeze solid.

Because of this, Su Yu now has to feed the hairy cliff crabs every day. He can no longer add it directly to the trough as before and wait until the hairy cliff crabs have finished eating.

On the way back to the house from the cliff, Su Yu saw a Dongdong rat lying in the snow.

"This... seems a bit familiar?"

Seeing this, Su Yu quickly stepped forward and lifted Dongdong Rat up from the snow.After checking his physical condition, it turned out that the rat was just hungry and fainted.

Take Dongdong Mouse back into the house and put it next to Kati Dog to warm it up for a while.Not long after, Dongdong Rat woke up on his own.

As soon as he woke up and saw this unfamiliar environment, Dong Dong Mouse seemed very panicked.After seeing Su Yu, Dong Dong Shu was stunned for a moment, and then ran to Su Yu happily.

"Dong dong, dong dong~!"

Looking at the Dongdong rat's reaction after seeing him, Su Yu secretly thought that indeed, this was the Dongdong rat he had encountered when he was looking for herbs in the forest.

But when Su Yu went back to look for them before, the group of Pokémon were no longer where they were. He was still wondering where those Pokémon had gone.

So he asked curiously:
"As expected, it's you. By the way, where have you been recently? When I went to your house to look for you, you were all gone."

Hearing this, Dongdongshu explained to Su Yu their recent whereabouts.

It turns out that after Su Yu left, Dongdongshu and the others formed a team and started looking for treasures everywhere. They wanted to see if there was anything precious in the forest that they could use to exchange for delicious food with Su Yu later.

But after searching all around my house, I couldn't find anything good.Therefore, some Pokémon suggested at that time that they might as well move directly and look for other places in the forest, maybe they can find something good.

This suggestion was approved by the vast majority of Pokémon at the time, so Dongdongrat and his party packed up their bags and wandered around in the forest.

On the way to find the treasure, Dongdongrat and the others also met many other Pokémon in the forest.After knowing their purpose, some Pokémon even took the initiative to show them the way, acting very friendly.

"Boom boom, boom boom!"

Having said this, Dongdongshu took out a glass bottle. I don't know where it came from, but it doesn't matter.

What matters is the liquid contained in this bottle.The liquid inside seems to be rich in life energy at first glance, and it also shows a strange rainbow luster under the sunlight.

"This is……"

Su Yu threw a scout at the bottle.

"Water of life: No one knows how this was generated, and no one knows where this thing comes from. Perhaps, this is a trace of life essence born in a certain secret realm during the drifting process."

"Has the ability: healing power, life power (soaking certain plants or their seeds in these liquids may lead to unexpected changes)"

water of life?

This liquid is a bit like the water flowing out of the tree guarded by the Saluds in the movie, and the effect is somewhat similar.

"Is this for me?" Su Yu asked.

"Dong dong, dong dong~" Dong Dong mouse nodded happily, looking very happy.

"Thank you then. By the way, let me get you something to eat first. I was just patronizing and said that I forgot to entertain you." After saying that, Su Yu stood up and brought Dongdong Rat the energy cube he liked. Then, he asked:

"Speaking of which, what about your companions? Why did I only see you and not your companions?"

Hearing this, Dongdongshu told Su Yu what happened while eating the energy cube.

It turned out that due to the cooling in the past few days and the heavy snowfall in the forest, the Pokémon in the forest had nothing to eat in the past few days.

After the Pokémon they met earlier helped them find the Water of Life, they encountered just this problem.As soon as the heavy snow fell, everything in the forest withered and there was no food to eat.

And the food that the Pokémon who helped Dongdongmouse had previously stored was not enough for them to survive this cold winter.Especially with the addition of Dongdong rats, food becomes even more urgent.So after just a few days, all the food in the reserve was eaten by them.

Under the shortage of food, one of Dongdong Rat's companions said that a human they knew had promised them that if they gave him some good things such as water of life, they could get many good things from him in exchange. food.

Moreover, they know the location of the human and can give him the water of life they find in exchange for food for the winter.This person is naturally Su Yu.

After convincing the Pokémon who helped them, they finally decided that Dondong Rat would bring the water of life and exchange it for delicious food with Su Yu.

"But... you, a dongdong rat, can't carry so much food. Even if you find me, you can't take back so much food."

Hearing this, Su Yu couldn't laugh or cry.

Regarding this, Dongdongmouse said that there were several stronger Pokémon that came with it. It was only because the snow fell too hard yesterday that Dongdongmouse got separated from them.

As long as it can find its companions, it can bring the food back.

"That's it..." Su Yu nodded.

Now that the forest is covered with white snow, the difficulty of finding a few Pokémon is much lower than when the vegetation was lush.

But that also requires good enough eyesight. It would be best if you can also ride a tropical dragon to find it. In that case, the search speed will be faster.

Immediately, Su Yu thought of green onion duck.Green Onion Duck's eyesight is the best among all the Pokémon in Su Yu's ranch, and his observation skills are also sharp enough.

So Su Yu called over Green Onion Duck and Tropical Dragon, asking them to help find Dongdong Rat's companions in the forest.

Soon, they set off.

When Su Yu returned to the house, he saw that the rat seemed to have not eaten for a long time and was devouring it, even more ferociously than when Molu Beke was eating.

Seeing this, Su Yu said:
"Actually, you don't need to deliberately look for those treasures. If there are no treasures, you can still come to me to get food. I will definitely entertain you well."

"Of course, it's only the Pokémon I know. After all... if the number of Pokémon increases, I won't be able to feed it."

But, it seems like I can hire them?

Su Yu felt like he had come up with a good idea.

There is more and more work on the pasture now. When next spring comes, he will have to cultivate a new batch of fields to grow new food.

And Su Yu obviously couldn't do so much work alone.But if you hire Pokémon to help, everything seems to be different.

He hired flying mantises to harvest rice, wheat and pasture, hired swimming Pokémon to help him fish pearls from the lake, and Pokémon such as three gophers, who could also help Su Yu plow the land and reclaim wasteland.

If a tree orchard is opened later, Pokémon will also be able to help a lot.

These Pokémon help him work and increase the output of the ranch, so that he can naturally feed so many Pokémon.As long as the number of these Pokémon does not exceed the carrying capacity of the ranch.

With the transformation of the environmental modification fluid, the current carrying capacity of Su Yu's ranch is still very strong.Just adding a few or a dozen more Pokémon would not be a problem at all.

If you think about it this way, does the employment route really seem to work?
So after thinking about it for a while, Su Yu told Dong Dong Shu about this matter.

"Perhaps you can call the Pokémon and your companions who are helping you to come to this ranch. If they are willing to come work for me, I can provide them with food."

"In this case, their access to food will be much more stable, and they won't have to suffer from hunger like now. I will also take good care of them."

"Dong dong?"

Hearing this, Dongdongmouse imagined the scene after it called all the Pokémon to the ranch and they were working hard in the ranch.

After their daily work is over, they can go to town to see new things in the human world and broaden their horizons.Or... sneaking over to Su Yu's house to watch TV.

"Dong dong~!" Days like this seem to be pretty good.

With this in mind, Dongdongshu agreed to convey this suggestion to Su Yu.

But whether that group of Pokémon is willing to come or not depends on their own wishes.
