Yushu got on the bus back to Solaceon Town.
The scenery outside the car window gradually transitions from the reinforced concrete of the city to the pastoral scenery of the countryside.
Large tracts of farmland and pastures spread out in front of you, with green wheat waves undulating in the wind, and distant mountains looming in the mist.
Yushu leaned on his seat and let out a long sigh of relief.
Finally going home.
This trip lasted almost two and a half months.
From the beginning, I just wanted to buy a Shuckle, then I attended a ranch exchange meeting, and then I made a big purchase...
The experiences he had along the way were richer than he had in the past six months combined.
"It feels so good to be home."
He looked out the window, the corners of his mouth raised unconsciously.
At this moment, Mew and Transform became Eevee, lying on Yushu's lap obediently.
He has fluffy brown hair Limber and a pair of big watery eyes. He looks harmless.
Follow its words.
Eevee is more user-friendly than Pidgey.
Yushu agrees, who would say no to a Fluffy's Eevee?
Especially this Eevee really has the potential to become Arceus.
As for Uxie... it still looks like Pikachu, squatting on the luggage rack and looking at the warm picture below with an unhappy expression.
Why is it that Mew is lying on Yushu's lap, so why does it have to squat on this cold luggage rack?
Just because it became Pikachu? What happened to Pikachu? It turned out to be worse than a fake Eevee?
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and he simply turned his head toward the window, out of sight and out of mind.
The train slowly entered the Solaceon Town platform.
Yushu got off the car and took a deep breath of the air of his hometown.
Well, it still smells familiar.
There is the fragrance of earth, the fragrance of green grass, and... the smell of cow dung from the distant pasture?
Well, this is also the taste of hometown.
Freewill Ranch.
"I'm back~"
Yushu pushed open the fence gate and walked into the pasture.
The layout of the pasture has not changed much compared to before, but it is obviously more tidy and orderly.
The originally messy grassland has been neatly trimmed, the fence has been strengthened, and there is a weather vane on the roof of the ranch house in the distance, gently rotating in the breeze.
Everything looks in order.
Yushu nodded secretly in his heart.
It seems that Aili and Shuren did not have Slack Off during this period, so we will have to give them some bonuses later.
At this moment, a voice came from behind.
"Ah, the rancher is here."
Yushu turned around and saw Aili standing behind him with his hands on his hips.
She was wearing work clothes stained with grass clippings, her hair was tied casually into a ponytail, and she had a half-smiling expression on her face.
That look was like looking at a naughty kid who had run away from home and was finally caught.
"Aili, long time no see."
Yushu smiled.
"Long time no see?"
Aili sneered, and that smile sent chills down Yushu's back:
"Haha, you still know it's been a long time since we last met? I thought you were having so much fun outside that you forgot about these two employees at home!"
"No way, I'm back now..." Yushu scratched his head in embarrassment.
"Come back? Ha!"
Aili clasped his hands and counted, his voice rising one degree with each count:
"When you went out, you promised to buy a Shuckle and come back in a few days. But what happened? It lasted two and a half months! Two and a half months! Do you know how I spent these two and a half months?"
She took a deep breath and continued to fire up:
"I get up at six o'clock every morning, milking, feeding, cleaning the pasture, processing Pokéblock orders... I am so busy that my feet never touch the ground! What about you? You are a popular drinker at Johto, will it be fun to communicate?"
Yushu apologized and said with a smile, "Thank you for your hard work, hard work, didn't I bring you Present..."
"Present? What Present?"
Aili's eyes lit up, but the corners of his mouth still maintained the stubborn arc that made me angry.
"Uh... almost."
Yushu touched his nose guiltily:
"I bought another twenty-five Miltank and ten Skiddo. Are you surprised? Are you happy?"
The air suddenly became quiet for three seconds.
Aili took a deep breath and then exploded:
"Yushu! Do you want to tire me to death!!"
Her voice was so loud that it scared Mareep who was eating grass in the distance to raise his head.
Be wild!
At this time, Shuren also walked out of the house.
He was wearing simple overalls and holding a pair of scissors for pruning branches. When he saw Yushu, he smiled:
"Boss, you are back."
"Shuren, long time no see."
Yushu thought that Shuren was considerate and worthy of this name.
Shuren nodded, then silently walked to Aili and handed her a glass of water:
"Calm down, the boss will be back soon."
Aili took the water cup, drank a few sips, and then let out a long breath:
"Forget it, since you still know how to come back, I won't argue with you."
Yushu breathed a sigh of relief.
Aili changed the subject. "But, you will cook today's lunch!"
"Okay, I'll do it."
Yushu agreed, and then... just made some Kanto cooking.
The steaming soup Levitate contains fish balls, radish, eggs, tofu and other ingredients.
The three of them sat around the table, chatting while eating, and the atmosphere gradually became relaxed.
Yushu picked up a piece of radish and asked:
"By the way, how is the operation of the ranch during this period?"
Aili was about to answer when he noticed something plush next to his leg.
She looked down and saw that it was a Eevee.
The Eevee was rubbing its head against her leg, looking at her pitifully with its big watery eyes.
"Buy~"
Aili's heart melted instantly.
"Oh, what a cute little guy!"
She bent down to pick up Eevee, put it on her lap, and gently stroked its hair:
"Is this Eevee your newly conquered Pokémon?"
Yushu was stunned for a moment, then nodded:
"Ah... yeah, that's right."
He is obviously an old monster who has lived for who knows how many years, but he always pretends to be cute and new. It would be a pity not to make a movie with his acting skills.
Aili is holding Eevee, the more I look at it, the more I like it:
"This little guy is so good-looking, even prettier than Sylveon before he evolved..."
Sylveon outside the door was about to retort, but suddenly found himself speechless.
It widened its eyes and immediately locked its gaze on the similar person next to Ellie.
The fellow person just looked at it like this, with a vague light shining in his eyes.
Mew is smiling
Be quiet~~
This guy did it! Why is it so strong? Is this still the strength Eevee should have?
Sylveon fell into deep self-doubt.
Mom, I met someone who was pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger!
Mew snorted in his heart.
Huh, just take it directly.
Uxie squatted in the corner, looking at Mew being massaged by Aili, feeling sour in his heart.
The yellow-skinned mouse is still too bad. If I had known it, it would have turned into Eevee!
No, it was originally Uxie, why did it change to another Pokémon!
It's all that guy Mew's fault.
Aili held Eevee, fed it fish balls cooked by Kanto, and reported:
"Let's talk about the situation of Miltank first."
"The milk production of our original Miltank and Mareep has been very stable. We can produce about two hundred liters of fresh milk every day. The quality is also good. The owner of Kurokawa has been placing orders with us."
"Well, not bad."
Yushu made a calculation in his mind.
Based on the market price of two hundred liters of fresh milk, the daily income is almost tens of thousands.
Although it is not a huge profit, it is more stable and steady.
"Of course, this is when your twenty-five Miltank and ten Skiddo are not in place."
Aili changed the subject, with a murderous look in his eyes:
"When those guys arrive, the workload will at least double!"
Yushu turned aside silently, pretending not to hear.
Work hard and I will marry you a sister-in-law next year.
Aili continued, "Pokéblock, Berry Juice fermented by Shuckle, the success rate is stable at about 80%. Sister Kaixin and boss Kurokawa are placing steady orders."
"Hey, the sales are good."
Yushu is a little surprised.
Kurokawa aside, it is not easy to get Kaixin's approval.
Kaixin is notoriously picky, and being able to keep her placing orders shows that Aili is indeed very clever.
Aili is also promising.
Shuren continued, "Berry The garden and flower fields are all normal. With Pelipper helping Drizzle, the watering problem has been solved. The Heracross group also often comes over to help carry things, making the work a lot easier."
"That's great."
Yushu thought to himself that Shuren sounds easier than Aili, but that's no good, you need to balance it.
It seems that the Berry park expansion work will be accelerated.
Shuren had no idea that his workload had soared, and added:
"Sometimes Heracross will go to the hive to eat Honey, which makes Combee very distressed."
Yushu laughed:
"These guys are pretty good at taking advantage."
Honey is simply fatal to those Heracross Captivate, just like catnip to cats, they can't resist it at all.
"I'll just ask Vespiquen to handle it later. It's all Bug-type. It will be arranged."
No matter how big Heracross is, it is still Bug-type, and Vespiquen can overwhelm it in terms of momentum.
This is called professional dialogue.
Aili added, "There is also Spinarak. You said before that you had no time to take care of it, so you kept it in a semi-free range state and moved around Combee."
Yushu nodded. "Well, it's almost done now, it's time to make some plans."
He put down his chopsticks, took out a piece of paper from the house, and started drawing on it. "Next, I plan to divide the pasture into four areas."
Aili and Shuren came over to take a look.
"The first area is the livestock area."
Yushu drew a circle on the paper. "Expand the existing fence and place the newly purchased Miltank and Skiddo inside."
"In the future, the main output of this area will be cow's milk and goat's milk, followed by Mareep's wool."
He didn't mention Skiddo's wool because Skiddo technically belongs to goat, and the wool might not be sold at a high price.
This also depends on Mareep, who is a sheep.
Aili was already numb, and she only had one thought in her mind.
Do whatever you like, if you can't finish it, let Yushu do it by himself.
"The second area, Berry area."
Yushu drew another circle. "The Berry planted before will continue to expand the planting area, and the newly purchased Berry seedlings will also be planted. In the future, we will achieve Berry self-sufficiency and no longer need to rely on external procurement."
Shuren nodded, thinking that the boss has a big appetite. It seems that he will be busy in the future.
