Chapter 333: Ranch Expansion Plan
Chapter 333: Ranch Expansion Plan
After saying that, Tree took action immediately.
To help Big Onion Duck practice better, Tree visited Klee's small cottage after leaving the Pokemon Center and ordered nine wooden stake dummies from her.
Klee nodded, understanding the situation. It wasn't uncommon for trainers to order wooden stake dummies from her to help their Pokemon train.
"I'll bring them over tomorrow when I visit your ranch to install the heating pipes for the Magmar's habitat," she said.
"Alright," Tree replied, nodding. He then rode off on his Goldeen, returning to the ranch.
That evening, after days of traveling, Tree felt exhausted. He rested on the couch, letting his sister, Ai, prepare dinner.
As night fell, the ranch was enveloped in darkness, and the world became quiet, except for the occasional cries of wild Pokemon.
The living room was warm and cozy, thanks to the presence of the Magmar. Fortunately, the temperature wasn't too high, or the house might have turned into a sauna.
Tree relaxed, looking around at his Pokemon family.
Magmar was eating a plate of Poke Food by the fireplace, its face filled with joy. The Icy Wind and Motor Drive were observing Magmar curiously.
Babudop and Frosty were lying on either side of the TV-watching Leek, resting on the couch.
On the coffee table, the tea and teapot were dozing off.
Wingull floated near the ceiling, its schedule adjusted by Tree, and it began to feel sleepy as the sun set.
Goldeen rested behind the couch, closing its eyes.
Just looking at these diverse Pokemon made Tree feel content.
Eevee sat beside him, its star-like eyes scanning the surroundings.
"Buoni..." Everything seemed like a dream to it.
This place was wonderful! There was Icy Wind, who took it to pick flowers; Frosty, who shared sweet cream with it; Babudop, who showed it around the chicken coop; Motor Drive, who secretly gave it berries; and Ai, who prepared food for it...
Everyone was kind, and no one disliked or feared it. Here, it didn't need to wear a mask to hide its true face.
Moreover, the mayor had invited it to play in the town.
These were things Eevee never dared to imagine when it was in Green Town!
Thinking about these things, Eevee felt like crying, its eyes gradually welling up with tears.
However, Tree soon noticed and spoke up, causing the other Pokemon to gather around, concerned, and ask why it was crying and if someone had bullied it. They were ready to teach that mean Pokemon a lesson!
Hearing this, Eevee couldn't help but burst into laughter, shaking its head and saying, "Buoni~"
Tree looked at the scene, a smile spreading across his face, feeling proud of his Pokemon from the bottom of his heart.
These kind-hearted Pokemon were all his children!
After dinner, Tree went to bed early.
Eevee's room was arranged on the second floor, next to Ai's room.
As it lay in bed, it listened to the occasional cries of Pokemon from downstairs.
Gradually, the sounds grew weaker, and it seemed everyone had fallen asleep.
Eevee wasn't sleepy, so it got out of bed and walked to the bookshelf with four masks.
It picked up the Verdant Mask, which had a piece of crystal from the Crystal Pool embedded in it, courtesy of Tree.
"Buoni~"
The next day, at 9:00 AM, Klee arrived at the ranch in her large truck.
The Machop worked together to unload the square pipes and wooden stake dummies from the truck.
Klee directed them, and once all the materials were ready, she asked Tree, "Where do you want to put the wooden stake dummies?"
"Hmm, let me see," Tree replied, looking around. He searched for a while but couldn't find a suitable location.
The remaining space in the ranch seemed insufficient...
There were the chicken coop, the dairy cabin, the former salt house, the stable, the fruit garden, the World Tree, the flower field, the goat enclosure, the glass greenhouse, the Pokemon tavern, and the large farm.
Unbeknownst to Tree, the ranch had accumulated so many things!
He couldn't decide for a moment.
Klee, who hadn't visited the ranch in a long time, looked around and smiled. "It seems your ranch is becoming more and more prosperous!"
Tree's gaze fell on the empty space next to the stable and pointed there. "Let's put it there!"
That was the only remaining empty space, and the other areas couldn't be used for construction. Although there was a large open grassland, it was reserved for the Spiritomb and the Blizzard Horses, as well as the dairy cows' running and rolling area.
Now...
Tree felt a surge of excitement, but quickly calmed himself as he still had some uncertainties.
"What about property rights?" he asked.
"Property rights?" Klee was a little puzzled by the question.
Tree explained, "If I buy that plot of land, will there be any time restrictions? For example, will the land no longer belong to me after seventy years?"
"How is that possible?" Klee was baffled, but she still explained, "Once you purchase that land, it's yours! The Pokemon League will issue you a deed and register the information online. There are no time restrictions, and you can pass it on to your descendants. Of course, if you commit a crime, the land may be confiscated, but that's a different matter."
"I see." Tree nodded, feeling more assured. "Then I'll definitely consider buying it. It's just that I need to prepare a large sum of money. I'll discuss it with Ai first."
"That's fine. Take your time." Klee smiled and said, "If you need any help with the purchase process, feel free to let me know. I'm quite familiar with these procedures."
"Thanks, I will." Tree expressed his gratitude.
"Unless you sell it to someone else," Klee added with a smile.
"Then where can I purchase such land?" Tree inquired.
"That's simple... Well, you can ask Mayor Thomas for help. As the mayor, he can assist you with this matter," Klee replied.
"Alright, I understand." Tree turned to leave, intending to find Mayor Thomas and incorporate the land across the river into his ranch.
He planned to hire more Diglett workers and cultivate the land, planting fruit trees, crops, and flowers, transforming it into a magnificent orchard like the Kitano Apple Garden.
In addition to farming, he could also raise more producing Pokemon.
For example, the Tropius.
Tropius grew fruits on their necks, with two harvests a year. Even if a single Tropius didn't produce much, it was still exciting for Tree to have such unique Pokemon on his ranch!
This was probably the greatest joy for a collector.
The thought of various Pokemon living, working, and producing on his farm brought a smile to his face.
Additionally, he could plant a large onion garden for Big Onion Duck, raise a flock of fluffy Wooloo, collect Eevee of all attributes, and create an Eevee paradise with slides, swings, and seesaws for them to play on.
And he would sit by, content just to watch the Eevee having fun.
Klee and her Machops entered the room to begin installing the pipes.
This task required breaking through walls to lay the pipes, and to prevent any accidents, the power to the house had been cut off.
Without electricity, Reuniclus couldn't watch TV, so it sat in the garden drinking tea with Runerigus and Polteageist.
The other Pokemon on the ranch were playing on the grass, enjoying the sunny day.
Not wanting Reuniclus to feel left out, Tree came over to keep it company.
"In a couple of years, I'll buy you a computer and a phone, so you can watch any TV show you want!" Tree promised.
Reuniclus paused, using its telepathy to ask, "A phone? What is that?"
"Umm..." Tree, who had been excited, calmed down and thought carefully before explaining, "It's a combination of a small television and a video phone, invented by humans."
"As long as you connect to the internet, you can use the phone to communicate with people all over the world. You can also search for cartoons and watch whatever you like without commercials."
This world probably didn't have membership fees for video apps, Tree thought. But even if it did, he could always buy Reuniclus a century-long VIP membership.
Hearing this, Reuniclus's eyes lit up. "Such a thing exists in this world?"
"Indeed!" Tree nodded and gave an example. "If Cang Xiang and Zang Ma Ren Te had phones, you could video call them in the Padaria region and see how they're doing. It's very convenient."
Reuniclus nodded slightly, looking a little embarrassed as it said, "I... I want a phone."
Seeing Reuniclus' eager expression, Tree snapped out of his thoughts and said, "Ahem, this kind of phone hasn't been invented yet. I'm afraid you'll have to wait a couple of years."
Disappointment flashed in Reuniclus' eyes, but it quickly regained its composure. "I have lived in this world for thousands of years. A mere couple of years is nothing. I can wait!"
Tree nodded firmly. "I promise, as soon as it's available, I'll buy one for you right away."
What a good little believer, Reuniclus thought, touched by Tree's words.
Tree's mind began to race with all the things he wanted to do.
He would buy more land to expand the ranch and raise more Pokemon.
He would also look into Mr. Nimo's company and choose the right time to invest, providing them with research directions.
And besides that...
Just then, the ground beneath Tree's feet suddenly shook.
Three Diglett poked their heads out from the ground and said, "Digley digley!"
"Hmm?" Tree looked at the Diglett and asked, "What is it?"
The Diglett replied, "Digga digga!"
Reuniclus, who was standing nearby, translated, "They said they found something strange in the underground cave."
