Pokemon Settler

A Meili sheep following the herd felt a little bored. It raised its head and looked around.

There are dense forests on both sides, and the leaves on those shrubs have an astringent taste and are not delicious.

The sheep was about to retract its head and continue on its way. It would not be a good idea if it was targeted by the ferocious Derubi.

What?

At this moment, a flash of bright red that lured sheep flashed across its eyes.

Meili Sheep's eyes widened. He saw it right. There were several round berries on a bush not far away.

Baaaa?

The companion next to him was curious and wanted to follow its gaze, but it jumped up and fell on him.

Rock looked back at the Meili sheep that had a brief commotion, but didn't take it to heart.

These Meili sheep are very lively and jump around when they are on the road. Rock has become accustomed to them during this period of grazing.

Although it was his first time grazing, there were only thirty relatively docile Meili sheep, and with the help of Delubi and Bayleaf, Rock felt that he had gradually gotten used to it.

The reason why he insists on choosing herding method is because of a common rule among ranchers in the Pokémon world.

Just don’t put pastoral elves into the elf ball.

In the eyes of these ranchers who deal with elves all day long, taking the elves into the ball means establishing a partnership with them. From then on, these elves become part of the family.

Therefore, using the Poké Ball to conquer the elves has sacred meaning to them.

Rock felt that this was a bit like those ranchers before time travel who did not give names to their livestock. The deeper reason was to prevent themselves from developing deeper feelings for the animals in the ranch.

Rock, who has three elves as companions, does not think this is the rancher's idle moaning. Instead, he takes this rule seriously.

Only by deeply feeling the bond with the elves can we understand why these ranchers do not want to invest too much emotion in the pastoral elves.

Of course, in the Pokémon world, there is another more realistic factor in not collecting pastoral Pokémon into Pokémon balls, and that is the issue of cost and risk.

The most common elf ball costs two hundred yuan, and can only be bound to one elf and cannot be reused.

For pastoral elves with hundreds or thousands of animals, even under the best circumstances, the shipping cost will not be less than five figures each time.

And this is just a small part of the reasons.

Due to the constraints of the elf ball's characteristics, the elf cannot eat after entering the elf ball.

Most of the pastoral elves require careful care. They do not have high physical fitness and endurance like ordinary trainer elves.

If these pastoral elves stay in the elf ball for a long time without eating or drinking for a long time, various problems will occur.

Therefore, even if Poke Balls are really used for transportation, rest and water replenishment along the way must also be considered, as well as the adaptation of pastoral elves to the changing environment.

All in all, the energy and time required are no less than grazing, and even far exceed the cost.

Since he had to master herding skills no matter what, Rock might as well take this opportunity to practice it.

What...

The Meili sheep, which had overwhelmed its companions, saw that Roark was distracted and sneaked to the outskirts of the herd.

It took advantage of Delubi to run to the other side of the sheep, and jumped towards the berries it found with four hooves.

Mea~

The berries were sour and sweet, and the Meli sheep roared with satisfaction.

What it didn't know was that a pair of greedy eyes deep in the trees had already stared at it.

Suo Suo

The branches swayed slightly, and the grass blades made a soft sound.

Meli Sheep, who was happily eating berries, didn't notice anything.

A big white cat suddenly and silently pounced out from the bushes nearby. It jumped in front of Meli Sheep and bit into its throat with its sharp fangs.

This cat boss has been coveting these Meili Sheep for a long time. He has eaten this kind of tender and tender Pokémon once before, and then it has been deeply remembered in his mind. Every time he thinks about it, his saliva can't stop flowing.

Because he was afraid of that man and his three elves, the cat boss never took action.

But it still followed them without giving up.

As expected, the opportunity presented itself. This greedy Meili sheep actually slipped out of the flock. The cat boss felt that his stomach had begun to secrete gastric juices for the upcoming delicious food.

However, in the next moment, a black shadow hit it on the head with strong wind.

Meow!

The black shadow was very heavy, hitting the boss cat's head with a dull sound, causing him to scream unconsciously.

Go away! Rock shouted loudly to drive away the cat boss who attacked Meili Sheep.

Rock discovered the baili sheep as soon as it ran to the berries. He was about to catch the baila sheep when he saw the cat boss jumping out of the bushes.

Because he was closest to the scene of the incident, he anxiously picked up the U-shaped lock hanging on the handlebar and threw it out. Fortunately, the throw was quite accurate.

Rock, who had driven away the cat boss, came over and took the Meili sheep by the back of its neck and tail, and put it back into the flock.

Baa baa

Meili Sheep did not struggle, and was still chewing berries with its mouth moving even though it was lifted in the air.

It was very satisfied after eating the delicious fruit.

With a group of Meili sheep, Rock's return speed dropped sharply. After walking all afternoon, he didn't even reach the cross-sea bridge.

Rock calculated based on the current speed that he would be able to return to Sunshine Town probably tomorrow night.

Seeing that it was getting late, he was ready to stop and set up camp to rest.

Let Bayleaf use the leaves on his head to sense a nearby water source, and Rock drove the Meili sheep down the road.

These Meili sheep ate all the way and were not very hungry, but just a little thirsty.

When they saw the creek in the forest, they ran up to it in a swarm.

Abo Monster, clean up the threats nearby and bring back something edible.

Hiss..

The Arbo monster, which had been riding around Roark all day, finally had a job to do. Its huge body snaked and disappeared into the grass.

The sky was getting darker and darker, but Rock's vision was not affected.

The Meili sheep took the initiative to light up the light balls on their tails, and the nearby forest was warmly illuminated by the orange light, giving it a magical atmosphere.

With the help of the light from the Meili sheep, Rock quickly picked up enough dry firewood.

The electricity stored in the woolly hair of Meili was only enough to light up their tails for a short while, and the light bulbs were quickly extinguished one after another.

But before the forest returned to darkness, Rock had already built a warm and bright bonfire.

After nightfall, the Meli sheep were no longer naughty and huddled together quietly around Roark and the bonfire.

After having a simple dinner with the three elves, Rock was ready to take an early rest after a tiring day.

Because Rock, Bayleaf, and Delubi had to go on the road tomorrow, the task of keeping watch was handed over to the still energetic Abo Monster.
