When it comes to Pokémon suitable for raising on a ranch, there are many choices.
First, there are Mareep and Wooloo, which can produce high-quality wool.
Mareep's wool is widely loved for its unique properties of being warm in winter and cool in summer, while clothing and carpets made from Wooloo's wool possess remarkable toughness, surprisingly durable.
Then there are Miltank, which can produce Moomoo Milk, and Skiddo, which can produce goat milk.
Moomoo Milk enjoys an extremely high reputation throughout the Pokémon world; this milk is not only rich and sweet but also contains extremely high nutritional value.
Although Skiddo's goat milk is not as famous as Moomoo Milk, it is still a rare tonic.
Mudbray and Tauros are also suitable for raising on a ranch; Mudbray's evolution, Mudsdale, can use the rare Plow move to give back to the Farming Area, while Tauros can breed Pokémon Eggs with Miltank, hatching new Miltank or Tauros.
Tropius is also good; the Berry-like fruits hanging from their necks, resembling bananas, are also exceptionally delicious.
However, if Pokémon are to be introduced to the ranch area, all the fences surrounding the entire farm must first be replaced with new ones.
Shaun was right; the fences here are so dilapidated that even a Caterpie could break through them, let alone those powerful Pokémon.
Luo Mu sighed, "Counting it this way, it seems I still need to save enough money to buy brand new fences to surround the farm."
He did some calculations, and after accounting for daily expenses and the money he just earned, he now has 57,350 alliance currency left in savings, which is a little over fifty-seven thousand.
He had previously inquired with the Machop Construction Team, and replacing all the fences would cost at least 80,000 alliance currency.
"It seems I still need to work harder to earn money."
Luo Mu felt that it would be better to expand the planting scale first, and then build the farm area and lake area.
The next morning.
Early in the morning, Luo Mu, familiar with the routine, arrived at the farmland and started working.
This morning's task was mainly to clear out the crops that could only be harvested once.
Tomatoes, strawberries, and cabbage are all crops that can bear fruit multiple times, but although eggplant can bear fruit a second time, its quality and size will be far inferior to the first harvest.
During the clearing, Eldegoss had already brought two newly evolved companions to familiarize themselves with the farmland environment and work content.
Now that their numbers had increased, the efficiency of cultivating the farmland had improved significantly, but they would still be stretched thin when Luo Mu expanded the planting area later on.
Noticing this, Luo Mu did not plan to immediately add new companions for them.
Just feeding the dozen mouths on the farm every day was a considerable expense; without a plan, unrestrainedly increasing members would only lead to a broken capital chain and the tragedy of farm bankruptcy.
After finishing the farm work, it was already noon.
Luo Mu then immediately began preparing lunch for the dozen Pokémon; on normal days, the dishes would not be as rich as before, so it was not difficult to prepare.
After eating and drinking their fill, Luo Mu, who was about to rest and take a nap, was approached by Poliwag Leader, who had completed the watering task.
Luo Mu looked behind Poliwag in confusion, not seeing the three Poliwag that always followed him, and asked, "Where are your little brothers?"
Poliwag shook his head; he had sent his little brothers back to Thunderclap Lake to rest before approaching Luo Mu alone.
"Wooooo!"
Poliwag's eyes were solemn, and he tried hard to explain his intentions to Luo Mu through body language.
He first moved his now skillfully walking feet, running a few circles around Luo Mu, then opened his thick lips, and a stream of water, driven by him, spurted onto the ground, leaving a wet mark.
This was the Water Gun move.
Immediately after, Poliwag used his rounded tail to fiercely Pound a small stone twice, but his strength was insufficient, only sending the small stone flying a short distance away.
This was the Pound move.
Next, Poliwag also used Mud Shot, Bubble Beam, and Mist moves, as if deliberately demonstrating the moves he had mastered in front of Luo Mu.
Poliwag's unusual behavior made Luo Mu thoughtful, and then, after he looked enviously at Swampert and Ceruledge sparring, Luo Mu had a definite conclusion.
Poliwag seemed to want to become stronger?
Therefore, he sought out Luo Mu, who had trained Swampert and the others, for guidance.
Moreover, this should not be Luo Mu's illusion; while Poliwag was demonstrating, he observed a deeply hidden trace of fear and anxiety in Poliwag's eyes.
What was he afraid and anxious about?
Luo Mu, who had a guess, gladly accepted Poliwag's request.
After a moment of contemplation, Luo Mu, who had a plan, brought Poliwag to Growlithe, who was watching Swampert and the others spar.
Since Poliwag wanted to become stronger, there was a suitable opponent for him to train with here, and it could also train Growlithe's resistance to Water-type moves that were four times super effective against him; it was simply a good deed that achieved multiple goals.
Seeing Luo Mu approaching, Moltres could finally rest assured leaving Growlithe and going back for a nap.
Growlithe had been a bit agitated since watching the Gossifleur evolve last night, bothering him all night and causing him a lack of sleep.
Thus, with the father coming to take care of the child, it perfectly suited Moltres's wishes.
The aftermath of the sparring between Swampert and Ceruledge was too likely to injure the still weak Growlithe and Poliwag, so Luo Mu found an open space a little further away to conduct the training.
Along the way, Luo Mu was also thinking about how to plan Poliwag's training schedule.
As the leader of the small group, Poliwag had the potential to evolve into Politoed, and the most prominent feature of Politoed is its ability to control the weather.
Luo Mu had specifically tested the abilities of the four Mosquito Coil Tadpoles before.
Two Poliwag had the Water Absorb ability, and one Poliwag had the Damp ability.
And the Poliwag Leader in front of him had the hidden ability "Swift Swim"!
When a Poliwag with the Swift Swim ability evolves into Politoed, its ability will change to the super rare Drizzle.
How rare this ability is can be understood with an example.
Luo Mu knew of only three Pokémon with the Drizzle ability.
Pelipper, Politoed, and the creator of the oceans, the legendary Pokémon Kyogre!
The weather control abilities of Pokémon with the Drizzle ability are simply incomparable to ordinary Pokémon that only know the Rain Dance move.
As long as Poliwag successfully evolves into Politoed, he will thereafter be one of the core Pokémon of this farm!
