Chapter 94: A Realm Called Grass Field!
Chapter 94: A Realm Called Grass Field!
Using a Salamence for watering, riding an unidentified, mysterious Pokemon that wasn't documented in the Pokedex, and those three unreasonable riding sheep...
Just what kind of place is this? Right now, Naoki's life as an ordinary rural farmer was completely upended!
After a moment, the light faded.
Three larger riding mountain sheep appeared before them.
The energy that had been released from their bodies had disappeared, making them look no different from ordinary riding mountain sheep.
But Naoki knew that it hadn't vanished; it had returned to the riding mountain sheep's bodies, and they could use it anytime they wanted.
Thinking of this, Naoki went forward to carefully examine the riding mountain sheep and then asked, "Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"
The three riding mountain sheep, gradually adapting to their new physical state, carefully felt their bodies and then gently shook their heads.
"Meeeh!"
"Then go play!" Naoki breathed a sigh of relief and waved his hand. The riding mountain sheep ran off.
He returned to the camp and sat down, his mind pondering the reason for the riding sheep's exaggerated Grass-type energy outburst earlier.
"...Mr. Naoki?" Mou Ping called out tentatively.
"What is it?" Naoki pretended not to know what the other party wanted to ask.
Mou Ping asked cautiously, "Those three riding sheep that just evolved, are they also Pokemon you bred?"
Naoki smiled politely and humbly replied, "It's all thanks to their own hard work."
Working hard to eat the grass dumplings is not a bad thing.
How terrifying...
Mou Ping's heart was filled with disbelief.
The intensity of the energy released by those three riding sheep earlier gave him the feeling that they were no weaker than the Gym Leaders of the Paddia region.
To be able to nurture riding sheep to such a level, what kind of strength do the other Pokemon in this ranch possess?
Mou Ping subconsciously looked at the cute Salamence sitting on the grass opposite him, his seemingly ordinary Butterfree, and the other Pokemon.
Are they... also the same?
However, as none of these Pokemon had displayed their true strength, he had no way of knowing the answer.
Since he had to go to the next town, Mou Ping didn't stay long.
In the afternoon, he bade farewell to Naoki and prepared to leave.
Naoki, with his Gulpin by his side, stood in front of the ranch to see him off. "I wish you a pleasant journey!"
"Yeah, and I wish you success in your work too!" Mou Ping replied, shouldering his backpack with a Fletchling in his pocket and a Croagunk perched on his shoulder.
The two bid each other goodbye, and the young trainer turned and continued his journey with the new Pokemon he had just caught.
Naoki also turned and returned to the ranch, continuing his life as a ranch owner.
Most of the work in the ranch had already been completed, but Naoki didn't rest. Instead, he found the three riding mountain sheep that had evolved and began observing their changes.
First was their personality.
Before their evolution, the riding sheep had a rather dopey personality, always leisurely lying on the grass and eating.
Even after evolving into riding mountain sheep, this habit remained unchanged.
The only difference was that they no longer glowed when eating the grass dumplings.
"It should be that the evolution has greatly raised the upper limit of the riding mountain sheep."
Naoki thought about the theory that Miss Joy had mentioned before.
It was said that the evolution of Pokemon was actually a huge leap in the level of life. The deeper the foundation laid before evolution, the stronger the Pokemon would be after evolving.
With this in mind, Naoki called over the three riding mountain sheep and asked them to demonstrate their moves.
The three riding mountain sheep sprang into action.
Super Power Whip, Parasitic Seeds, Flying Leaf Slash, Annoying Seeds, Photosynthesis, Wood Horn, and the move they were most proficient in, Grassy Terrain.
Wave after wave of green light rippled out from their bodies, sinking into the earth.
In an instant, the ground was covered in a layer of green light, as if a thousand blades of grass were gently swaying.
The range of this light continued to expand, and with the combined efforts of the three riding mountain sheep, even half of the ranch was enveloped within it.
Naoki couldn't help but gasp at the sight.
Unbeatable!
Rather than continue to call it Grassy Terrain, Naoki felt that 'field' would be a more suitable term.
That's right, a Grassy Field! Coupled with their Grass Pelt and Grass Eating traits, Naoki believed that aside from Goolleton, there was no Pokemon on the ranch that could stand against these three riding mountain sheep!
If they were to engage in a 3v3 team battle, their performance would be even more astonishing.
The Grass Eating trait meant that the riding mountain sheep would not take damage from Grass-type moves but instead boost their attack.
In that case, they could start by setting up a Grassy Terrain, then have the other two riding mountain sheep use Grass-type moves to amplify their attacks.
Additionally, the Grassy Terrain would further enhance the power of Grass-type moves.
As long as the field was activated and their attacks boosted, the riding mountain sheep could finish off their opponents with a single Grass-type "Sacred Sword" move.
Envisioning the riding mountain sheep wielding the Sacred Sword to deliver a stylish finishing blow, Naoki called for a halt:
"Alright, that's enough for now!"
The riding mountain sheep stopped and let out affectionate bleats:
"Meeeh~"
Naoki smiled and reached out to pat their heads, "Go play!"
The riding mountain sheep trotted off, leisurely strolling and grazing on the grass.
Watching their figures, Naoki sighed with emotion.
Even the once clumsy little sheep had grown to become formidable fighters!
What delighted him even more was that, aside from the increase in strength, the amount of milk produced by the riding mountain sheep after their evolution had also increased accordingly.
Furthermore, their milking cycle had changed from once every two days to once a day.
This meant that the ranch could now produce more milk and earn more money every day.
The only thing that hadn't changed was that the riding mountain sheep still needed to 'rave' to expend excess energy...
In the evening, Zack came to collect the goods.
He looked at the full bucket of milk, surprised, "You're already starting to milk the Big Milk Cans?"
Naoki smiled and said, "Yes! The Pokemon Hut was built earlier, and compared to the riding sheep, the Big Milk Cans provide a more stable income."
Zack nodded in agreement, "That's true."
He began the process of testing the milk's quality, and the results startled him.
"Such high quality?!"
