Whitney bid farewell to the Skiddo and led Roy and Little Absol to the factory that produces Moomoo Milk.
At first, Roy thought that Moomoo Ranch used manual milking.
As a result, the two of them and Little Absol were only allowed to enter the factory where Moomoo Milk was produced after they all put on protective suits.
Upon entering the factory, you can see Miltank lined up in front of the machines for milking; it's a large-scale automated factory.
But Roy still remembered that in the anime Meowth and Cyndaquil drank it straight away...
As Whitney introduced the product to Roy, she took a bottle of warm, fresh Skiddo milk from the sample table and handed it to Little Absol and Roy.
Little Absol drank the entire bottle of Moomoo Milk in one go.
Seeing that Little Absol was drinking with relish, Marshadow also peeked out from the shadows, casually grabbed a bottle of Moomoo Milk, and entered the shadows.
A moment later, an empty glass bottle was quietly placed back on the table.
Looking down at the Miltank lining up below, they didn't even notice the empty bottle behind them.
Regarding the large Miltank lined up below, Whitney can accurately name each and every one of them.
Because she personally named every single Miltank in the ranch.
Looking at the Miltank producing fresh Moomoo Milk, Roy's mind was in complete turmoil.
Based on the production capacity data provided by Whitney, Roy made a rough calculation.
A bottle of Moomoo Milk costs nearly 200 Poké Dollars on the market. Whitney's Moomoo Milk is of better quality, so it costs twice as much as regular Moomoo Milk.
Each Miltank can produce 10 bottles of 500ml Moomoo Milk per day, and Roy has seen more than a thousand Miltank on the ranch.
This isn't just producing Moomoo Milk; it's a money-making machine!!!
Although he is not short of money now, that does not stop him from wanting to criticize rich people.
After learning about the main populations and industries on the ranch, Roy gained a completely new understanding of Whitney's family's wealth.
The pink-haired little girl in front of me is actually the real hidden rich woman in the Johto.
After introducing the dairy farm, Whitney originally wanted to take Roy to see the breeding area on the farm, but as they walked, the outline of a castle appeared in front of them.
It turns out that in the very center of the ranch stood a manor castle built in the style of medieval European architecture, which was Whitney's home.
The closer they got to the castle, the more hesitant Whitney seemed. But since she was already here, she was determined to solve the "Coward" problem today.
Having prepared herself mentally, Whitney didn't continue leading Roy to the breeding park. Instead, she turned a corner and came to the front of the castle.
As soon as we reached the outer wall of the castle, the castle gates opened automatically.
Just as Roy was about to praise the high-tech features, he saw a solemn and calm-looking butler emerge from inside the door. The Indeedee had blue triangular markings around his eyes and dark purple fur that made him look like he was wearing a neatly tailored butler's suit.
Roy System Scan; it was level 45. It probably wasn't Pokémon specifically for battle, but rather a butler who managed the manor and castle.
Upon seeing Whitney, the Indeedee floated to Whitney's side and curiously looked at Roy, who was following behind Whitney.
"Waiter?"
"Indeedee, this is a new guest."
Upon hearing that they were guests visiting the ranch, the Indeedee bowed very politely to Roy and then ushered the two into the castle.
After Roy followed Whitney into the castle, Indeedee used his Psychic type to close all the castle gates.
The interior corridors of the castle are decorated in a retro style, just like the castle's exterior.
Whitney, who was leading the way for Roy, slowed down her pace and kept glancing back at Roy. She became shy and awkward, as if she had something difficult to say.
Roy, watching from behind, looked completely bewildered.
Although he had only known Whitney for less than a day, his impression of her was that Whitney was generous, enthusiastic, and cheerful...
He was so positive and enthusiastic when I was introducing him to the Pokémon on the ranch, how come he seems like a completely different person now?
The Froslass, who was next to Roy, floated to Whitney's side and placed her icy little hand on Whitney's hand.
"Froslass..."
Whitney finally mustered up her courage and turned to look at Roy:
"Roy, could you come to my room? I need to talk to you about something."
?????
Roy was a little confused.
What is it that I can only say in your room?
Whitney said that Roy would find out soon.
As they talked, the two arrived outside Whitney's room.
Froslass and Whitney entered the room first, while Roy hesitated whether he should follow.
The Froslass then used Mind Communication to tell Roy to stay outside the room, since one shouldn't just enter a girl's room, so she left Roy outside.
Is the Froslass also hiding something from me?
What are these two going to do?
The Indeedee behind the two seemed to know something. After greeting Roy, he floated past Roy to attend to other matters in the castle.
When Whitney came out again, she opened the door and let Roy in.
Completely bewildered, Roy followed them into a pink-themed room filled with girlish charm.
However, Roy didn't immediately observe the furnishings in the room. He felt that the room was somewhat cold and that he could sense a very faint Ghost-type energy emanating from it.
Why didn't he sense that Ghost-type energy from Whitney at first?
Furthermore, is it reasonable that the room of the granddaughter of a Normal type Gym Leader contains Ghost type energy?
It's important to know that Roy's Ghost Power is extremely sensitive to Ghost-type energy, which puzzled him greatly.
After sensing the source of the faint Ghost-type energy, Roy immediately focused his gaze on the lamp on the bedside table next to Whitney's bed.
Seeing that Roy had discovered what she was hiding at a glance, Whitney called out towards the bed:
"Come out, Coward."
As soon as Whitney finished speaking, a creature wearing a Pikachu -like suit fell out of the bedside lamp.
This is... Mimikyu...?
Seeing Roy looking at him, Mimikyu's eyes beneath its suit turned terrified, and it quickly floated behind Whitney.
This is why Whitney hesitated to speak.
After learning about Whitney's troubles Froslass recommended that she seek help from Roy, as Roy was an expert at dealing with Ghost type Pokémon.
However, Whitney wasn't trying to fight the Mimikyu, because the Mimikyu had never hurt her or frightened her.
Whitney turned her head and gently placed her hand on Mimikyu's leather cover, comforting it:
"Don't be afraid, Coward. The person over there isn't a bad guy; he's my friend."
No matter what Whitney said, Mimikyu refused to show herself.
Seeing this, Whitney could only look helplessly at Roy and explain:
"The Coward was someone I found on the ranch..."
Whitney said she met Mimikyu last week when she was massaging Miltank at the ranch. Mimikyu was trying to scare her and absorb fear energy, but it was startled when she suddenly turned around.
So she named the Mimikyu "Coward".
Looking at the Mimikyu hiding behind Whitney, too afraid to come out, Roy gathered a ball of Ghost Power in his hand.
However, the previously Ghost Power of the Darkness proved ineffective against Mimikyu.
It can't be said to be ineffective. The moment Roy condensed his Ghost Power, he saw a small head and two drooping, pointed ears of the Mimikyu peeking out from behind Whitney.
It was clear that the other party really wanted to absorb the Ghost Power in his hand, but because he was too timid, or rather, because the Pressure emanating from Roy was too strong Mimikyu dared not step forward.
Finally, with Whitney's constant comfort and the blessing of Roy's max-level Ghost type, they recovered.
Mimikyu appeared from behind Whitney and slowly floated to Roy's side. Seeing that Roy meant no harm, Mimikyu began to absorb the Ghost Power in Roy's hand.
At first Mimikyu could control the speed at which it absorbed food, but perhaps because it had been hungry for too long, Mimikyu's absorption rate became faster and faster.
After Mimikyu absorbed all the Ghost Power in his hand, the Ghost Power's energy was so pure that even Mimikyu's suit bulged out.
At this Mimikyu no longer felt fear towards Roy; instead, she felt a sense of familiarity with Roy.
Then a childish voice came from Mimikyu's mouth.
