Pokémon: Start with a Pokémon Ranch

The next day.

After handing the keys to the ranch to Yang Hao and asking the braided sheep to take good care of the house, Su Yu took the dog and headed towards the mountain.

The mountain to the north of the ranch is called Chimney Mountain. There are many precious medicinal materials in the mountain. When I was still young, I came here with my grandfather to collect medicines.

However, Grandpa did not dare to go too deep into Chimney Mountain. After all, there were many bad-tempered wild Pokémon living in Chimney Mountain, and Ring Bear was one of them.

But if we just collect herbs in the periphery, there shouldn't be much of a problem, right?

Su Yu thought so.

As soon as he entered the forest, Su Yu saw a lot of medicinal materials and even an aromatic mushroom. He picked these medicinal materials immediately, but he didn't expect to get a harvest as soon as he came in.

Especially aromatic mushrooms. In the original Pokémon, this kind of mushroom can be exchanged for a lot of money in the store. One mushroom can be exchanged for at least 6,000.

It seems that few people set foot in this forest. Is it because the pastoral area is vast and sparsely populated?

After picking the medicinal materials, Su Yu noticed that something seemed to be staring at him. He looked up and saw a green caterpillar lying on the branch, looking at Su Yu and Kati Dog curiously.

This green caterpillar is very dark in color, and the yellow lines on its body are different from ordinary green caterpillars, making it look particularly special.

Do you want to eat this? This thing seems a bit bitter.

Seeing the green caterpillar staring straight at him, Su Yu thought the green caterpillar wanted to eat the herbs Su Yu had just picked. He stretched out his hand, wanting to pass the herbs in his hand to the green caterpillar.

Seeing this, the green caterpillar stuck out its head and wanted to eat the herb.

However, the next moment, a Spearow suddenly appeared. The Spearow was so fast that its claws were about to catch the green caterpillar. Seeing this, Su Yu quickly shouted:

careful!

He didn't want the first Pokémon that showed kindness to him after entering the forest to be captured like this, and he was just trying to get Kati Dog to help. However, the next moment, an electric light flashed, and a large net composed of electrical energy caught the Spearow, trapping it inside.

This is...the power grid?

It's not easy for a wild green caterpillar to learn this on its own. This is a very powerful green caterpillar.

At this time, the Kati Dog also pounced under Su Yu's command. However, except for the Spearow that was trapped by the electric grid and fell to the ground, there was no trace of the green caterpillar.

Disappeared? What a pity, I still want to see if I can conquer it.

Su Yu said regretfully, while on the side, the Kati dog was also sniffing the smell in the air, but at this time, the air was covered by the special smelly gas released by the green caterpillars. This smell is everywhere, and it is impossible to detect where the green caterpillars are going.

So Katigou shook his head and said that there was nothing he could do.

In this regard, Su Yu said:

It's okay, it must still be in this forest. In the next period of time, we may have to go into the mountains frequently to collect herbs, and we will always meet again.

With that said, Su Yu continued walking inside with the Kati dog.

…

…

Continue around the perimeter of the forest.

Protected by insect repellent spray, Su Yu didn't encounter many dangers along the way.

On the contrary, I collected a lot of medicinal herbs, and also obtained some insect sloughs from iron-shelled pupae.

This is left over from the evolution of the unicorn beetles into the giant needle wasps. After a certain period of accumulation, they directly shed their shells and turned into the giant needle wasps and left. The insect sloughs left behind are also precious medicinal materials.

During this period, Su Yu also encountered many Pokémon, including the kind of mount lamb that produced milk in Uncle Yang's ranch.

Unfortunately, those mounted lambs ran very fast in the forest and failed to give Su Yu a chance to make contact, making the energy cube in Su Yu's hand useless.

Otherwise, after he feeds the energy cubes to the mount lambs, it is still unclear whether he can conquer these mount lambs.

In addition, Su Yu found many fragrant mushrooms and even a cliff.

Under this cliff, there are many hairy cliff crabs living here. This is a Pokémon from the Padia region. The crab claws dropped from their bodies are considered a rare delicacy, and the price is not low.

For the Hairy Cliff Crab, the crab claws can grow again after they fall off. Therefore, ranchers in other places also raise this Pokémon.

And it just so happened that there were a lot of fallen crab claws under this cliff. Su Yu stepped forward cautiously, but the Hairy Cliff Crabs didn't seem to care. Seeing this, Su Yu tried to pick up a crab claw.

Hmm... Wu Crab doesn't care.

Some of these hairy cliff crabs are resting at the moment, some are rolling their bulging eyes wondering what they are thinking, and some are licking the rock salt precipitated on the cliff.

Hmm... maybe for rock-type Pokémon, rock salt is also a food that can supplement nutrients, right?

Seeing that the hairy crabs didn't care, Su Yu immediately picked up all the crab claws that fell on the ground. These were precious ingredients and could be sold at a good price.

The hairy crabs were very puzzled by Su Yu's behavior. What was going on with this human being? Have you never seen a fallen crab claw?

Why does it look so precious?

After picking up the crab claws, Su Yu looked at the group of crabs and fell into deep thought.

——How about catching a few hairy cliff crabs here and bringing them back to raise them?

There are no cliffs in the ranch that are suitable for hairy crabs to live in, but this is a world with Pokémon. We can hire an engineering team to build a suitable location.

I don't have much experience in raising hairy crabs, and there are no ranches around to raise hairy crabs. But this is also a good thing. After all, hairy crabs are the only specialty of our ranch.

Thinking of this, Su Yu no longer had any doubts. Come on, we must take these hairy cliff crabs back!

However, Su Yu currently has insufficient funds and cannot afford to raise so many Pokémon, so he can only take some Hairy Crabs back first.

Selecting among the crabs, Su Yu selected a few hairy cliff crabs that were medium in size and seemed easy to fool, and started to lure them with food.

He took out the energy cubes he had bought in advance that were suitable for rock-type Pokémon and waved them in front of the Hairy Crabs. The smell of the energy cubes immediately spread.

For rock-type Pokémon living in the wild, this food carefully prepared by humans can be said to be absolutely delicious.

Therefore, when the energy cube appeared, almost all the hairy crabs looked over. They gathered around Su Yu, but did not directly come to grab him.

Su Yu broke open the energy cube, divided it into small pieces and gave them to several hairy cliff crabs. Then, he launched the deception technique towards them:

How is it? Does it taste good? If it tastes good, you can follow me to my ranch. I can provide you with more delicious food there.

Hearing this, several of the hairy cliff crabs were still a little hesitant and seemed to still want to stay with the group. In the end, only five hairy cliff crabs decided to follow Su Yu.

Even if Su Yu didn't want to leave, he wouldn't force him. After all, the key to conquering Pokémon is a mutual consent.

That's enough. When they go to the pasture, they should grow at the same speed as the braided sheep, and they should produce more crab claws.

Fortunately, when he came out this time, Su Yu was fully prepared in advance and had brought enough Poke Balls.

Putting these five hairy cliff crabs into the elf ball, Su Yu had already gained a lot from this trip. After thinking about it, he decided to explore further. If there is nothing new to gain, you can go back directly.
