Roy spent an afternoon experiencing ranch life at Moomoo Ranch with his Little Absol.
After massaging the last Miltank, Roy took off the gloves he was wearing during the massage and lay down on the grass.
Misdreavus floated to Roy's side, while Mimikyu followed behind Misdreavus. Mimikyu now considers Misdreavus its boss.
Looking at the Pokémon in the ranch and then at the Pokémon I had caught.
Roy thinks Ghost type Pokémon better. As long as you give them some Ghost Power, Ghost-type energy or Fear energy, they can be kept alive, and you don't need to massage or comfort them much.
Of course, you won't make much money; there's practically no profit.
Therefore, this business could not continue for long.
What kind of Pokémon can be both profitable and provide enough food for a Ghost type Pokémon?
As Roy pondered this, his gaze drifted toward the castle in the center of the ranch, and an idea formed in Roy mind.
Could I build a giant Ghost Castle, employ Ghost type Pokémon as staff, and hire a few Ghost-type Trainers to maintain order and Ghost Castle the construction?
In the past, Haunted House, escape rooms, and murder mystery games were all suspenseful and terrifying, and they were quite popular.
Wouldn't it be even more exciting to just go all out and have real Ghost type and Ghost type Pokémon work as employees?
There's no reason why card games could become popular in the Pokémon world while horror games Haunted House couldn't.
Of course, the prerequisite is that he needs to build a Ghost Castle, which requires Roy to have money, fame, and a good Construction Crew.
He doesn't lack Poké Dollars at all right now. If he runs out, he can just take on some work from Joy Lando to create some custom Pokéblock.
The Construction Crew can borrow Steven's Machamp Construction Crew.
All that's left is brand recognition, which is also related to his Popularity Points. To promote Ghost Castle, you need at least the brand recognition of Professor Oak to attract more people to visit.
It's out of the question that a regional PhD could succeed with only half-baked knowledge; the only other options besides a regional PhD are a regional Elite Four or... a champion, given their high profile.
Who in this world doesn't know the champion's fame?
Or... how about I become a champion myself?
Then, they use their own fame or reputation to ensure that Ghost Castle can operate normally and that the Ghost type Pokémon in Ghost Castle will not cause any harm to people.
Tourists will pay for tickets to Ghost Castle to experience the thrill, while Ghost type Pokémon absorb the energy of fear. The money from ticket sales will then be used to pay the salaries of human Pokémon Trainer and improve the food for the Ghost type Pokémon.
This completes a perfect ecological closed loop.
He can then open a chain of Ghost Castle in various regions, giving all Ghost type Pokémon in the world a home!
Suddenly, Roy, who had just attained enlightenment, sat up.
"I'm a fucking genius!!!"
Mimikyu and Misdreavus were both startled by Roy's sudden action, especially the timid Mimikyu, which immediately hid behind Misdreavus.
Neither of them knew what had gotten into Roy so suddenly.
When it was time for dinner, the female Indeedee in the Pokémon Day Care used her Psychic type to remotely carry a large bag to the ranch canteen next to the manor castle in the center of the ranch.
The food that Pokémon eat on the ranch isn't fodder or Berry, but a sack full of different kinds of Pokéblock.
This is why Whitney's Moomoo Milk is of high quality.
After sorting the Pokéblock in the sack according to the different groups, Indeedee used the Heal Bell, and a melodious bell rang out in all directions.
Upon hearing the bell, the Miltank, Tauros, Mareep, Wooloo, the Skiddo, and a few scattered Tropius flew over from the ranch.
Roy, along with Whitney and Indeedee, distributed the Pokéblock to the Pokémon that had gathered around.
The Tauros were devouring the Pokéblock, their eating habits were quite gruesome.
However, compared to Tauros's unrestrained eating, the Miltank, fresh out of the factory, was not satisfied with its food. These Pokéblock did not suit its taste, and it only ate them in small bites.
Seeing that the Miltank didn't seem to really enjoy eating their Pokéblock, Roy asked Whitney why.
"This is a Pokéblock recipe that Grandpa commissioned an Advanced Breeder to customize for Normal type Pokémon, and then the Joy family helped process the Pokéblock."
However, most Miltank simply don't like these Pokéblock.
Speaking of this, Whitney was a little annoyed, so she brought out another box of Oran Berry for some of the Miltank who didn't want to eat Pokéblock.
The key point is that this is not an isolated case. Some Miltank only took a couple of bites and then put down the Pokéblock, not wanting to eat anymore, and started eating Berry instead.
Whitney handed the Pokéblock from the Miltank to Roy without any hesitation.
She also complained to Roy that even the Miltank that didn't consume Pokéblock couldn't produce enough milk to reach an average of ten bottles, and that she had tried many methods without success.
Roy took the Pokéblock and examined it carefully.
The female Indeedee nearby tried to stop Roy from observing the Pokéblock.
The Pokéblock used in the ranch are also classified, in order to prevent anyone from wanting to sabotage the ranch or poison the food.
Whitney waved her hand at Indeedee, believing that Roy, who would help her take care of the Coward, was not a bad person.
The little horns on either side of the Indeedee's head swayed, but she didn't sense any malice from Roy.
After observing that the surface transparency of the Pokéblock was fine, Roy tasted the Pokéblock himself and finally came to Roy conclusion.
This is a medium-quality Pokéblock.
It's more than enough for Miltank with an average level of 30 in the ranch, and the energy content of the Normal type is also very high.
It's clear that this recipe was created by an experienced breeder and can help replenish the energy in Miltank.
The energy content is fine, so the problem must lie in the flavor of the Pokéblock.
The breeder was too focused on the Normal type energy content and overlooked Miltank's preference for slightly salty sweet treats.
However, it has a slightly sour taste, so Miltank might not like it.
Roy broke the Pokéblock open and found the pulp of a Lamp Berry among its ingredients.
Joy Lando once taught him that the Lamp Berry itself tastes sweet, but it easily changes flavor when mixed with other Berry and ingredients, which is one of the reasons why the Pokéblock is sour.
That's why Miltank don't really like to eat it.
Looking at the Pokéblock in his hand, Roy began to think.
