Pokémon: Start with a Pokémon Ranch

Chapter 97 Wool Inspection
Just as Yang Hao was introducing the process of the entire competition to Su Yu.

Suddenly, several people passing by mentioned something that interested Su Yu.

"Did you hear that the top sixteen in this year's rancher competition, the rancher named A Xian, was attacked by his family's strange force..."

"Been raped?"

"Ah? No way. I remember that his strange power is male. This kind of thing can't happen, right?" Hearing what the first passerby said, the third passerby was shocked.

Seeing this, the fourth passerby on the side patted the third passerby's hand and interrupted:
"Oh, what do you know? The power of female monsters is nothing. The power of male monsters with [no defense] characteristics is scary, right? That's called one punch, one trainer..."

The words of these passers-by aroused Su Yu's interest.A Xian?Isn't this the strange trainer who was killed by Tropical Dragon last time?

And Su Yu also thought about the non-defensive abilities in the game. It seemed that... the moves used by both sides would definitely hit?

This characteristic seems to be very suitable for fencing?

Hiss...it's a bit scary, my butt is starting to hurt.

Su Yu touched his butt, and when Yang Hao saw this, he cast a strange look, as if he had discovered some quirk of Su Yu.

Just at this moment, Su Yu saw Gu Lihuo's figure among the crowd.Gu Lihuo also saw Su Yu at this time. He immediately squeezed through the crowd and said to Su Yu with a smile:
"senior!"

"Are you coming to participate in this kind of wool competition?" Su Yu was surprised to see Gu Lihuo also coming.

Hearing this, Gu Lihuo smiled and said:

"Yes, the Meili sheep have begun to produce wool again now. Since there happens to be a wool competition here, I also thought about stopping by to participate. Anyway, no matter whether I can win or not, at least participating is the most important thing."

"By the way, senior, a few days ago, following the method you taught me, 'treat Pokémon with care', I persuaded the group of throwing monkeys in the orchard. Now, they are all in my orchard, helping me. Orchard restoration work is underway.”

Throwing monkey?
Su Yu felt that this person had an impression. It seemed that Gu Lihuo had mentioned it when they first met.Not long after he returned to the ranch, a group of throwing monkeys destroyed the orchard left by his grandfather and fled into the forest.

Gu Lihuo could actually make peace with the throwing monkeys, and in turn ask the throwing monkeys to help him restore the orchard?
Su Yu briefly imagined a group of throwing monkeys living in the orchard and working hard every day.Hmm...it seems pretty good, a good idea.

"That's good. In this case, your ranch can resume operations faster."

Su Yu naturally hopes that the surrounding pastures will get better and better.After all, only if they are better can they have the money to buy the goat milk in his hands.

Goat milk that can strengthen the body, no matter what, these people must buy it.The only difference is whether you can afford it.

Su Yu was about to chat with Gu Lihuo about the orchard. After all, he also planned to build an orchard in the pasture in the future.However, at this time, the judges and staff on the high platform started to move.

"Has the wool competition started?" Seeing this, Yang Hao on the side also muttered.

Some staff members have also begun to step down from the platform to register the identities of the players one by one and take wool samples.

……

The process of wool sampling is not complicated. It is just a matter of verifying the identity of each rancher and the sheep Pokémon in their possession, and then shearing a handful of wool from these sheep Pokémon.

What is really stressful is the process of waiting for the wool to be sent for inspection.

Not long after the staff took the wool sampling, ranchers began to receive the results of the wool inspection.

Some of them were disappointed and some were happy.The happy ones were probably those who passed the inspection. They were all very excited and even wanted to cheer up.

The disappointed people accounted for the majority of them, and the people who were screened out were the main body of the crowd.It seems that in this round of inspection alone, about 70% of the people may have to be screened out.

"It seems that the standard for submitting test results is quite high?" Su Yu asked doubtfully.

Hearing this, Yang Hao also nodded and replied:
"So some ranchers come to participate every year, but they still can't pass the inspection every year. And there are still a lot of such people."

"However, my horse goat should be able to pass the test. It's just that it failed to win the favor of the brand several times before."

Next to Yang Hao, stood a huge sheep Pokémon with long horns. It was the evolved form of the mount lambs, the mount goat.

The evolved goat can reach a height of 1.7 meters, which looks quite strong.

And this is the Pokémon that Yang Hao brought to the competition.The quality of the wool produced by this mount goat seems to be the highest in Yang Hao's ranch.

At this time, it was Su Yu's and his group's turn to send for inspection.Seeing this, Su Yu released two woolly horn sheep and asked the staff to take samples.

As soon as they appeared, the woolly horn sheep noticed the tall and burly mount goat beside them.Compared to the 1.3-meter tall wooly horn sheep, they look like a group of dwarfs in front of the goats.

"Mark..."

Immediately, the hairy horn sheep made a vigilant call, as if they were very uneasy in front of this big man.

Seeing this, Su Yu took out a few pieces of grass cake and stuffed them into the mouths of the wooly horn sheep, calming their emotions.

Seeing the snacks Su Yu took out with him, Gu Lihuo asked curiously:
"Senior, what is that thing of yours that can actually be eaten by hairy horn sheep?"

"Nothing, it's just some strange pastries I made by adding green grass. It just happens that the hairy horn sheep like to eat them." Hearing this, Su Yu waved his hand and replied.

"Oh..." Gu Lihuo nodded after hearing this.The admiration for Su Yu in my heart increased even more.

——Senior is really awesome and has a deep knowledge of Pokémon food. No wonder he can manage the ranch so well.

Yang Hao on the side was not curious about this situation. He had already seen the power of the grass cake made by Su Yu at the one-horned rhinoceros, but he also had some doubts in his heart.

Do the hairy horn sheep actually like this kind of food?

I wonder if the one-horned rhinoceros would like to eat some of these pastries when I go back?

Not long after they were submitted for inspection, Su Yu and Yang Hao also received notices that they had passed the first round.

Both of them were very calm about this.After all, they were already confident that they could make it past the first round.

But to Su Yu's surprise, Gu Lihuo's Meili sheep actually passed the first round of inspection.You know, this Meili sheep couldn't even produce wool a few days ago...

How could he reach the level of being able to pass the inspection so quickly?
Obviously... this is a level that nearly [-]% of ranchers cannot achieve...

Regarding this, Gu Lihuo was also very excited. He smiled and said to Su Yu:
"Senior, this must be the result of the goat milk you sent. Without your goat milk, the Meli sheep would not be able to recover so quickly, nor would they be able to produce wool of such quality."

"I really have to thank you, senior, for all this. You really helped me a lot!"

Hearing this, Su Yu remembered.He almost forgot that what this Meili sheep drank was always the original goat's milk without too much dilution.It's not surprising that he can grow to this extent.
