Chapter 89: Have You Ever Seen a Glow-in-the-Dark Ride Sheep Before?
Naoki: "..."
This was the first time he had encountered a Pokemon that actively asked him to milk it.
But it was already late, and milking would have to wait until tomorrow.
So, after calming the Miltank down, Naoki returned to his house to sleep.
Early the next morning, he arrived at the Pokemon shed with a milk pail in hand, ready to begin.
The Miltank was munching on some tree fruit in the haystack but quickly stood up and struck a pose when it noticed Naoki approaching.
"Moo-loo!"
Seemed like it knew what to do.
Naoki obliged and placed the pail under the Miltank, attaching the milking machine to its udder.
With a gentle squeeze, a gush of thick, creamy, milk-white milk erupted, filling the pail.
Instantly, a rich, sweet aroma filled Naoki's nostrils.
This milk smelled even more luscious and flavorful than the Moo-Moo Milk he usually bought in Cherrygrove City.
Naoki glanced at the milk in the pail and, in his mind's eye, saw the information about it.
[Milk (Top-Quality)
: Milk that has reached the pinnacle of quality and nutrition, offering immense benefits to the body and can also be used to create top-notch dairy products such as cheese and butter.]
At first glance, it seemed similar to the top-quality milk produced by his Ride Sheep, but there were subtle differences in aroma and taste.
As for whether this milk possessed the same magical qualities as the sheep's milk, only time would tell.
Naoki snapped back to attention and focused on the task at hand—milking.
There was a technique to milking the Miltank: a rhythmic squeezing of the teats from top to bottom, coaxing the milk from its udder.
Thanks to his ample experience milking the Ride Sheep, Naoki was making good progress.
However... the process was painstakingly slow!
By the time he filled the 20-liter pail, Naoki's back was aching, his legs were numb, and he felt exhausted. He checked the time.
Whoa, it had been half an hour!
If it took half an hour to milk one Miltank, that meant milking ten of them would...
Just the milking process alone would take five hours! That was too much!
"This won't do. I need to ask around in town if there's an automatic milking device for sale," Naoki thought to himself.
He stretched his limbs to ease the soreness and, after a moment, commanded the Golurk, who had been waiting patiently and dozing off, to carry the pail away.
"Agas!"
The Golurk immediately transformed into its battle form and effortlessly lifted the heavy pail, carrying it out.
Naoki, accompanied by the Miltank, left the Pokemon shed.
With Zack only able to come by in the evening to pick up the milk, it meant Naoki would have to wait until tomorrow to bring the second Miltank back to keep this one company.
Naoki wondered if the Ride Sheep, known for their gentle nature and milk-producing abilities, might get along with the Miltank.
With that in mind, he led the Miltank outside.
The day was beautiful, with clear blue skies and a pleasant temperature—neither too hot nor too cold.
At nine in the morning, the ranch was bustling with life.
The diligent Combee trio had already set out to collect honey.
Buizel was at the chicken coop, tending to the mother hens. Over time, its chicken-herding skills had improved immensely.
Near the farm fields, the Salamence was summoning winds and rain.
Its eyes closed, it focused on the entire process of using its moves, its chubby claws waving in front of it like a pianist in the midst of a passionate performance.
Naoki followed her gaze and laughed, introducing the Pokemon, "That's Salamence. It's currently training at this ranch."
"Moo-loo."
Miltank nodded.
Just then, she suddenly sensed a very terrifying aura coming from ahead.
Miltank turned and saw a patch of grass that was glowing. It was different from the rest.
Three Pokemon shrouded in thick light were rolling on the grass, and that terrifying aura was emanating from them!
How scary... Such energy must be coming from a very fierce Pokemon.
Miltank's mind conjured up the images of three bullies, shocking her into a complete daze.
However, Naoki was already used to all of this and shouted towards them, "Hey, stop for a moment! I want to introduce a new partner to you guys!"
Hearing the shout, the Ride Sheep stopped their bouncing and hopped over, trampling the grass as they came closer.
When they were near, Miltank finally saw their appearance clearly.
Instead of the fierce bullies she had imagined, they were three little sheep that looked adorably cute?
"Moo-roo?!"
Miltank was even more surprised. How could such cute Pokemon give off such a scary aura?!
Naoki had originally intended to introduce Miltank to the Ride Sheep, but seeing the Ride Sheep glowing with green light, he was surprised and puzzled.
Because just yesterday, the Ride Sheep weren't glowing when they were bouncing around...
Could it be that they had too much Grass-type energy in their bodies, and now it was overflowing and manifesting externally?
Naoki narrowed his eyes and rephrased his question, "Do you guys feel uncomfortable anywhere?"
"Baa~"
The three Ride Sheep shook their heads. One of them stepped forward excitedly and bleated, "Baa, baa-aa!"
It had just learned a new move!
Seeing its enthusiasm, Naoki immediately understood. He raised his eyebrows and said, "Show it to me!"
The Ride Sheep took a few steps back, gauging the distance between itself and Naoki. It seemed concerned about accidentally hurting him, so it backed up a little more.
"Baa-aa!" Okay, this distance felt right!
The Ride Sheep focused its energy, and its Grass-type power surged.
Immediately after, two vines as thin and curved as whips took shape.
Watching this, Naoki also saw the name of this move in his mind's eye.
"Vine Whip. Huh? Isn't this a move that Ride Sheep naturally know?"
He was a bit surprised, and just then, the Ride Sheep moved.
With the insane amplification of Grass-type energy, the two vine whips that were wrapped around its body suddenly thickened and lengthened to a ridiculous extent.
"What?!?"
The Ride Sheep waved its newly formed [Super Vine Whips], which were now as thick as huge pythons, and with a loud "Baa-aa!" it slammed them onto the ground.
A loud crash echoed, and even the earth seemed to tremble.
Miltank, who was standing on the ground, was jolted and bounced back down. She stared blankly at the Ride Sheep that was now wielding the vine whips.
"Moo-loo!" A monster!
