Pokémon: Start with a Pokémon Ranch

After Uncle Yang's explanation, Su Yu understood why the ranger might come to the door.

It turns out that on weekdays, in addition to guarding against poaching gangs in the forest, forest rangers also need to maintain the natural balance in the forest.

In other words, they can neither have too few Pokémon in the forest nor too many Pokémon in the forest.

Therefore, when Pokémon are scarce, forest rangers will appropriately stop trainers who come to the forest to try their luck and want to tame wild Pokémon, in order to protect the ecology of the forest.

And Su Yu's current behavior, to a certain extent, is destroying the natural balance in the forest.

After all... you brought all the Pokémon in the forest to your ranch to work for you, and there were quite a few of them at one time. This kind of behavior makes it easy for forest rangers to come to your door.

If you didn't know better, you would have thought that Su Yu was forcing these Pokémon to work and let the Pokémon do illegal work for him.

This kind of behavior can easily be misunderstood.

However, Su Yu didn't think so. He explained:

My so-called employment conditions are actually very relaxed. These Pokémon are still in a wild state. They can leave anytime they want.

In my case, they just use their own labor in exchange for the food here. I don't persecute them. If any trainer wants to conquer them, I will welcome them at any time.

Hearing this, Uncle Yang nodded and said:

This is indeed the truth. But from the perspective of a ranger, he cannot be sure that even if you are treating these wild Pokémon well, there is no way to guarantee that everything you do will be as you say.

So when the time comes, you'd better explain it to the ranger. It's useless to tell me this.

After saying these words, Uncle Yang drove the one-horned rhinoceros away, leaving Su Yu alone in deep thought.

What Uncle Yang said makes sense.

However, Su Yu was not afraid of slanting shadows. When the ranger arrived, he would let the ranger take a good look at him to see if he was really consistent with his words and deeds.

…

…

Meanwhile, on the other side.

Flying Mantis has almost nothing to do these days and seems very leisurely.

Su Yu said that he wanted to let it help harvest mature crops, but the crops in the field had just been harvested by Su Yu not long ago, and there were no crops for the Flying Praying Mantis to harvest.

With nothing to do, Flying Mantis has been playing with Dongdong Rat and the others for a while these days. But gradually, its novelty gradually faded away, and I no longer wanted to play with the Dongdong rats.

Eh- Forget it, I'd better come back and train.

As a Pokémon that is good at fighting, Flying Mantis always strictly disciplines itself and maintains good training habits when in the forest.

At this moment, it left the lakeside and returned to the back mountain alone. Just when he was trying to find a good place to train alone, Flying Mantis suddenly heard a noise coming from a place in the back mountain.

Seeing this, the Flying Mantis immediately flew up and rushed to the place where the noise was heard. When it arrived, what it saw was chaos.

This seems to be a place where Pokémon usually train. Many of the surrounding trees have been cut down and piled randomly around. In the open space in the middle, there are also traces left by various moves on the ground.

There seemed to be traces left by air slashes. In addition, there were electric grids, leaf blades, and iron tails. Various moves cut the ground into pits.

And in the center of the clearing, a green caterpillar was staying there at the moment. It seemed to be trying some tricks, manipulating the surrounding wind. The green caterpillar kept trying to fly.

But it failed every time it tried. It seemed that it was not proficient enough in controlling the wind. Every time I try to fly, the surrounding wind cannot be controlled by it.

After finally controlling the wind, it seemed possible to fly, but the surrounding wind once again refused to control it, causing the green caterpillar that had just floated to fall directly to the ground.

But after falling to the ground this time, the green caterpillar seemed to sense something. It climbed up from the ground and met the eyes of the flying mantis.

Eh...

Suddenly, the flying mantis felt as if he had seen something he shouldn't have seen, and he had the idea of ​​running away.

But after thinking for a while, it still walked forward awkwardly, scratched its head and said:

Hey... Were you practicing any moves just now?

Uh-huh. Hearing this, the green caterpillar nodded.

It told the flying mantis very calmly that it was practicing the [Flying] move. It has learned the downwind move, but the [Flying] move seems to be much more difficult than the downwind move, so the green caterpillar has never been able to learn it.

As for why he told Flying Mantis... the green caterpillar felt that after all, this was an insect Pokémon like himself. As a Pokémon, it could always help him keep secrets, right?

After hearing what the green caterpillar said, the flying mantis was stunned for a moment, what, the [Flying] move?

Can the green caterpillar learn this move?

However, looking at the green caterpillar's determined look, the Flying Mantis was not sure for a moment. It didn't know if this was the green caterpillar's own imagination or if it was true.

When the green caterpillar saw the strange look in the flying mantis's eyes, he also asked in confusion:

Huh? What's wrong? Is there any problem?

Huh... No, no.

Flying Mantis replied immediately.

But answering like this seems to be rude. After all, I had just peeked into their training process.

As a Pokémon with both flying and insect types, Flying Mantis believes that he still has a lot of experience in flying-type moves. Maybe, it can help the green caterpillar.

Thinking like this, the Flying Mantis expressed his thoughts to the green caterpillar. Maybe, it can teach the green caterpillar how to use flying moves?

But after hearing what the Flying Mantis said, the green caterpillar's eyes lit up. It’s not that there are no flying Pokémon in the ranch, obviously Tropicana is one.

But compared to flying-type moves, Tropical Dragon seems to be better at grass-type moves. Therefore, the green caterpillar cannot learn much from the tropical dragon.

Now that there is a flying mantis with flying + insect attributes, it is no wonder that the green caterpillar is so excited. And since it is also an insect-type Pokémon, Flying Mantis's flying-type experience should be more suitable for Green Caterpillar itself, right?

Thinking so, the green caterpillar nodded immediately.

What it lacks the most is a teacher to guide it. It's not that difficult for it to learn the moves. What makes it even more troublesome is the new moves that he has to explore by himself.

After all, there is no one to lead the way, and all methods need to be explored and learned by oneself. Naturally, progress will be slow.

But now with the guidance of the Flying Mantis, perhaps it will soon be able to learn to use the [Flying] move.

If you learn this move, then an ordinary green caterpillar like it can learn to fly!
