Happy Ranch.

Led by the old man, Naoki came to an area fenced off by a wooden fence.

Here, he finally managed to meet the big.

They are sitting on the fertile grass, leisurely eating the grass that grows on the ground, and their bodies are quite strong and sturdy.

The old man smiled and said, "This is the big milk tank, although they have experienced terrible things before, they have not been affected, and they can still eat and sleep." ”

Naoki nodded, that terrible incident should refer to the previous incident of the loss of contact with the freighter.

The old man opened the small gate of the fence and continued as he walked forward with Naoki:

"There are 10 big milk tanks here, and each of them is very healthy and can produce a lot of fresh milk, ah, by the way, you don't have grass in your pasture, right?"

Pasture, which is a feed that grows in spring, summer, and autumn for bred animals and Pokémon.

Unlike normal grasses, these grasses have been specially cultivated and improved by humans to provide nutrients for most herbivorous Pokémon.

Naoki nodded truthfully and said, "I haven't had time to buy it yet." ”

"It's okay, ordinary feed can also be fed to the big milk tank." The old man explained: "It's just that the big milk pot prefers fresh grass to hay." ”

"The higher the quality and fertility of the pasture, the more fragrant and delicious the milk produced by the big milk tank, and unlike goat milk, the taste of the fresh milk produced by the big milk tank will change with the seasons!"

"With the seasons changing?" Naoki raised an eyebrow slightly.

"Amazing, right?" The old man said with a smile, "It is said that due to the influence of the environment and temperature, the grass that grows in different seasons will also be different. ”

"After eating these grasses, the body will absorb the nutrients of the grass to produce fresh milk with different tastes."

Naoki really didn't know much about this, and he asked curiously, "Is there a big difference?" ”

The old man replied, "It's not very big, it's all the taste of milk, but there are some differences in the taste." ”

"For example, milk tastes sweet and delicious in some seasons, and it becomes rich and mellow in other seasons, and milk in this season is the first one."

Naoki understood, and he nodded, and at the same time, the knowledge about the big milk tank in his heart deepened a little.

At this time, the two came to the front of the group of big milk pots.

The eyes of the big tank were attracted and looked at it curiously.

"Kids, this is the rancher of Naoki Ranch next door." The old man first introduced Naoki's identity to the group of big milk cans, and then said with a smile: "He is a Pokémon person who is very good at taking care of him, and blessed are the people who go back with him!" ”

Naoki: "......"

That sounds weird.

But it turned out to be useful for this group of big.

They immediately cast an observant glance at Naoki.

Naoki stood there smiling, letting them look at him.

After a while, several large milk cans showed interested eyes.

"Milu?"

"Milu~"

“……”

Seeing this scene, the old man smiled and said, "Okay, you go and choose one from it!" ”

Hearing this, Naoki nodded, then stepped forward and came to the front of this group of big milk tanks to observe the state of each big milk tank.

The eyes of the big can moved with his movements, and he looked very expectant.

At this moment, Naoki suddenly felt as if he was picking an initial Pokémon......

Shaking his head, the thought behind him, Naoki began to try to make contact with the big in front of him.

"Hello, big!"

"Milu!"

The big pot stood up happily, and its two black ears dangled and looked quite cute.

"It's a lot milder than I expected." Naoki thought to himself.

As a Pokémon, Big Milk Jar belongs to the kind of Pokémon that are very salty, and their personalities are very gentle, and most of them don't like to fight with people.

Thinking of this, Naoki had already made a decision in his heart.

He pointed to the big milk jar that responded to it, and said to the old man, "I want it." ”

Anyway, it doesn't matter which one he chooses, when he saves enough money, he will come over and bring back the other big milk cans.

"Okay." The old man nodded gently.

He took out the Poké Ball of the big milk pot and handed it to Naoki: "This is the Poké Ball of this big milk pot, and it will ask you to take care of it in the future." ”

"I will."

Naoki stretched out his hand to take it, and he suddenly felt that the Pokémon trade here was not like a transaction, but more like an adoptive exchange.

After pondering for a moment, Naoki looked at the big milk tank in front of him and said with a smile, "Please take care of it in the future, big milk tank." ”

"Milu~"

With a flash of white light, the large milk can was contained in the Poké Ball.

Naoki paid the money, and the deposit in his pocket dropped to four figures again.

He said goodbye to the old man, turned around and left the place, and went to the town to buy some groceries.

Things like feed and grass seeds for big milk cans, special soil that strengthens salt stones, and a few packets of sweet black tea.

Naoki didn't stay in town for long, and after buying what he needed, he rode back to the ranch on a motorcycle lizard.

He looked at Gu Leton, who was waiting outside, and handed it the large bag in his hand to help it return to the house, while he himself went to the Pokémon hut.

Pushing open the door, the long-idle Pokémon hut is revealed in Naoki's eyes.

Empty troughs and troughs, wooden planks for partitions, feeding quarters attached to silos, and a soft haystack on the floor, where the big milk jugs sleep,

"Come out!"

Naoki throws a Poké Ball, and with a flash of white light, the large milk pot appears in the Pokémon Hut.

It looked around and began to familiarize itself with its surroundings.

Naoki introduced, "This is your new home, how does it feel?" ”

"Milu ......" The big milk tank looked left and right, looked at the clean, tidy and bright room, and said happily: "Milu! ”

It seems that the big milk tank is quite satisfied.

Seeing this scene, Naoki finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Then, he opened the doors and windows of the Pokémon hut and took the big milk pot to the open space outside, introducing it to the place:

"This is my ranch, and after that I will grow grass in front of my door."

Grass seeds do not need to be planted in special soil, and they are much easier to grow than crops.

Just sow the seeds on the ground and wait a while for these hardy pastures to grow out on their own.

Both the growth cycle and the growth rate are far higher than ordinary crops.

As soon as he said it, Naoki immediately took out the packet of grass seeds and scattered them in the clearing.

After setting up the big milk tank, Naoki returned to the wooden house with ease.

The big milk tank breeding work is finally about to start in earnest!

Today's ranch work has been completed, he made a cup of sweet black tea, moved the rocking chair under the eaves, and sat on it while leisurely drinking tea, while looking at his slowly developing family business.

Motorcycle Lizard, Soleton, Ba Da Butterfly, Salt Stone Treasure, Mount Lamb, Frost Milk Fairy, Mini Fu, Fast Dragon, Cloth Pick, Three Bees, Big Milk Tank......

Salt House, Pokémon House, Chicken House......

In the neat farmland, a large number of crops are thriving.

All of this has changed drastically from when he first came here.

Ah, what a life!

Naoki couldn't help but sigh.

And at this moment, out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly saw a petite figure rushing into the pasture.

Naoki turned his head and saw the baby bear running over in a hurry.

Looking at this scene, Naoki raised his eyebrows slightly.

He remembered that the baby bear had eaten the lucky pudding a few days ago before leaving the ranch.

"I don't know if it picked up anything good."

Looking at the baby bear who came to him, Naoki asked, "Come here to change things?" ”

"One, one!"

The baby bear nodded repeatedly.

It stretched out its paws, spread its palm, and revealed a small brown stone with an ordinary appearance.

This is what the baby bear picked up from the ground while wandering around the mountains before the typhoon.

"Huh?" Naoki didn't see what the stone was at first glance, so he reached out and took it from the baby bear's pad.

What is it?

Naoki was a little confused, he had never seen this thing before, it didn't look like an evolution stone, it didn't look like a prop like a hard stone.

Well, it's still a little hot to the touch, I don't know if it's the baby bear's body temperature or if the stone is hot in the first place.

"Did you pick it up?" Naoki asked.

"One!" The baby bear nodded, and it looked at it with a wistful look.

Can this be used for a delicious honey pudding?

Seeing its greedy appearance, Naoki couldn't help but hook the corners of his mouth, and while he got up and went to the refrigerator to get the pudding, he asked, "You haven't gone to other ranches to steal honey in the past two days, have you?" ”

"What ......," the bear shook his head.

"That's right!" Naoki handed the pudding to the baby bear and said to it, "It's not right to steal, although you can cheat people by being cute now, but what about when you grow up and evolve into a circle bear?" ”

At that time, if you pretend to be tender and cute, no one may be deceived.

"One ......"

The baby bear swallowed the pudding in one gulp, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but bow his head and fall into thought.

Seeing its appearance, Naoki thought to himself that the prodigal son would not change his money, and if the baby bear could realize his mistake and correct it in time, it would not be in vain for his efforts.

"If I were you, I'd find a way to apologize to those ranchers." Naoki educates at the right time.

"Well, it won't be easy for you to find food when it's raining these days, so this small bottle of honey should be given to you by me." Naoki threw the honey in his hand again.

The baby bear stretched out his paw to catch it, and his face couldn't help but show a touched expression: "What ......?"

"I think if it were someone else, they would do the same." Naoki lay on the rocking chair and waved his hand: "Go back!" ”

"One!"

The purpose of the trip has been achieved, and the baby bear leaves the place satisfied, and on the way back, he also began to think seriously about all the things that have happened these days.

In the pasture, Naoki looked at the stone that was a little hot to the touch, and after careful examination, he had a vague conjecture in his mind.

A fragment of a meteorite that fell from the sky?

Combined with the fact that Ragora sat nearby and appeared and dispersed the typhoon, Naoki suddenly had a bold conjecture.

Could it be that Lie sat down and ate the rest of the rations?

Hiss!

It sounds great, but in fact this meteorite fragment is of no use at all, and can only be collected as a collector's item.

It's better than nothing.

Naoki returned to the house and casually threw the thing into a drawer, placing it with the Immutable Stone that Baby Bear had brought earlier.

————

Before going to bed at night, Naoki specially made a black truffle milk porridge.

This dish is the maximum quality that can improve the quality of the milk produced by Pokémon.

It was because of the milk porridge that the mount lambs drank it, causing their milk to mutate and have some other additional effects.

Naoki wondered what kind of changes this kind of cooking would bring to large milk tanks.

So, while inspecting the ranch, Naoki came to the Pokémon hut with milk porridge.

As soon as he pushed open the door, he saw the big pot sitting on the haystack, looking very lonely.

Naoki was slightly stunned: "What's the matter?" ”

"Milu ......" the big milk tank looked gloomy.

"Let me guess, do you want other big mates?" Naoki asked.

Hearing this, the big milk can nodded: "Milu......"

At first, I was very happy to come to the new ranch big milk tank.

But after being happy, it looked very lonely, because there was only one big milk tank here.

Naoki understood, but now he couldn't help it, and after thinking for a moment, he said to the big:

"Give me another day, and when I've saved up enough money, I'll go and get the other big milk tanks as soon as possible."

The big can looked at him, and then a smile appeared on his face, and he said happily: "Milu! ”

Naoki also had a smile on his face, and he put the milk porridge in front of the big milk jug and said to it, "Drink it, try the taste!" ”

For the use of rice and milk, the big milk tank is not exclusive, because they themselves drink their own milk.

When the milk porridge was drunk, the big milk pot thought of what Naoki had just said, and suddenly realized something: "Milu? (Are you short of money?) ）

Hearing its call, Naoki raised his eyebrows: "Huh? ”

The big milk tank showed off its milk-producing organs and said happily: "Milu, Milu!" (The milk that comes out of here can be sold for a lot of money!) ）

In the past, when I was on the ranch, I often saw the rancher milking other big milk tanks and selling them for money.

This is a very relaxing thing for a big.

Because they have a lot of milk in their bodies, they will feel uncomfortable if they don't express it for a day.

So in addition to drinking it yourself, most of the time it is humans who help with milking.

Under the influence of hearing and seeing, the big milk tank knew that there was such a way to exchange money.

Naoki was a little puzzled, but looking at the movements of the big milk tank, he quickly reacted: "You want me to help you milk the cow?" ”

"Milu Milu!" The big tank nodded repeatedly.

Milk it and sell it for more money, so you can take over the other big milk pots!
