The ladybug's six fist-like legs swayed rhythmically in the air. The shy bud's grass-green skin stood out in the flowerbed. As if sensing Fang Xing's gaze, the shy bud lowered its head.
Fang Xing also saw the rare Psychic-type Pokémon Ralts, but by the time he took out his Poké Ball, Ralts had already used Teleport to disappear from Fang Xing's sight.
"It seems that these are the only Pokémon here with the potential to become a ranch."
Fang Xing's gaze fell on the three bees working diligently in the yellow flowerbed.
Fang Xing and Fang Gu are indeed brothers; they even had the same idea about the foundation for the development of Stardew Valley Ranch.
That's the sweet treat produced by three bees!
"Froggy Frog, are you confident? You can take on three bees in one go."
Fang Xing said to the croaking frog on his shoulder.
"Cuck!"
The croaking frog croaked once and then jumped into the air.
Fang Xing pointed a finger and issued the most concise combat command.
"Water Wave!"
The frog leaped into the air, continuously condensing water energy between its hands. A chaotic stream of water appeared in its hands, quickly gathering into a water ball, which then expanded from the size of a fist to the size of a soccer ball, until it became the size of a water tank!
If the lucky kappa who taught the croaking frog to use Water Pulse to this extent in just a few days were to see it, it would surely feel ashamed of itself.
Chapter 35 The Headache of Psyduck
"Froggy Frog, use your last move!"
"Iai Slash!"
After Fang Xing shouted, a sharp, cold light flashed in the hand of the Frog, and a blade formed from white light was tightly gripped in its hand.
He then held his breath and gathered his strength, while the last three bees in front of him trembled in fear.
"Shh!"
The croaking frog, wielding a white blade, slashed down at the bodies of three bees, who then collapsed in the flowerbed.
Countless flowers were affected, their petals scattered all over the ground.
Fang Xing threw out three Poké Balls and caught them all.
Fang Xing covered his mouth and nose as he moved through the pollen-filled flowerbed and picked up all the Poké Balls.
"Well done."
Fang Xing praised him, but the frog simply took a deep breath, sheathed his sword, and the white light in his hand dissipated into the air.
It's just a little bit of hardship.
Froakie returned to Fang Xing's shoulder, and Fang Xing began to use the Pokédex sticker on top of the Poké Ball.
This allows you to check the status of the Pokémon inside the Poké Ball.
"These three-necked bees are all male. It's true that female three-necked bees that can evolve into queen bees are still too rare."
Fang Xing muttered to himself, unaware that his elder brother at home had already tamed a female three-necked bee.
"However, these male honeybees can also collect nectar after training, but they seem a bit rigid and not flexible enough. They should be sufficient for the early stages of the ranch."
"I wonder what kind of expression my brother will have when he receives these Pokémon."
Fang Xing said he really wanted to see it!
"We need to speed things up. Look at the time, it'll be potato harvest season in four days. We also need to buy gifts for my brother and that girl Fang Xiaolu."
Thinking of this, Fang Xing smiled at the croaking frog.
"Come on, Froakie! Let's train for a run towards White Sandalwood City!"

On the other side, Fang Gu had arrived at the stream beneath Stardew Valley Ranch. This stream runs east to west, passing through the southern part of Stardew Valley Ranch and Old Moon Bird Town, and eventually flows into the sea.
By the way, there's also a beach near Crescent Moon Town where many Pokémon live.
However, due to the many mysteries surrounding the ocean, the general public believes that Pokémon in rivers are weaker than those in the sea.
After all, how could a ferocious Pokémon like Gyarados possibly appear in a small river? If it did, the local people would report it to Officer Jenny, who would then capture it herself and release it into a large lake or the ocean, far away from humans.
Upon arriving at Fanggu by the river, one sees Pokémon playing happily together.
The retired dragon slayer, Marilulli, is leading a group of Mariluldu water creatures known as water rats.
Marie's round little blue tail is sticking out of the water.
It looks so fun, I really want to pinch it.
Fang Gu's idea was somewhat offensive. Seeing that Fang Gu was staring at her tribe, Mariluri got angry and shot a water gun from her mouth.
Fortunately, Fang Gu dodged in time, otherwise he would have been soaked to the bone.
"Dah!"
Just as Bulbasaur was about to help Fang Gu get revenge, Marill took Marill and dived into the water, disappearing without a trace.
Fang Gu shifted his gaze to the side, where several chubby yellow duck Pokémon were sitting on the rocks by the river, their eyes glazed over and their hands covering their heads.
"Gah?"
It's Psyducks!
As a Pokémon that appeared in the first generation, Fang Gu still has a deep impression of Psyduck.
Psyduck possesses an incredible ability: it can generate psychic powers from time to time. These powers often damage its brain, causing it headaches.
When Psyduck's headache reaches a certain level, it will unleash all the psychic powers stored within its body.
Fang Gu noticed a Psyduck standing on the riverbank, looking down at its reflection in the lake.
"Gah?"
Psyduck tilts its head slightly.
Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?
Psyduck, seeing the three tufts of hair on its head, posed three profound questions about life.
The next moment, a red figure darted out from the calm water.
A bright red crayfish appeared, waving its large claws.
It's a rogue Pokémon! Corphish the Lobster!
It will use its sharp claws to catch any prey in front of it, and once it has a grip, it will not let go no matter what.
At that moment, Soldier Lobster's pincers clamped onto Psyduck's head.
The serrated pincers clamped tightly onto Psyduck's head, and a sharp pain shot through it.
Psyduck was enveloped in a strong blue light, its flat beak wide open, and a scream echoed through the sky.
"Gah!!!!"
Fang Gu was startled and quickly retreated with Bulbasaur and the three bees.
"Buzz?"
The three bees were puzzled. Was it really worth it for this little yellow duck?
The next moment, the lobster soldier, which had been full of ferocity, showed a look of terror on its face. Its large pincers were being torn open by a mysterious force, and then it was lifted out of the water and suspended in the air.
It was caught by the psychic power that Psyduck unleashed due to its headache.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
Psyduck rolled its eyes and controlled Garchomp, slamming it up and down until Garchomp was completely unconscious.
This time, Garchomp suffered because it didn't evolve. After all, if it had evolved into Crawdex, it would have gained the Dark type and become immune to Psychic attacks.
Five minutes later, after Psyduck's headache subsided, it returned to its dazed and confused state.
Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?
Who is this guy who looks like a stray dog?
Psyduck tilted its head and then stepped directly over the body of Corpse Lobster.
As Fang Gu looked at the lobster soldier who had lost its ability to fight, a red and white Poké Ball unconsciously appeared in his hand.
If it were thrown out now, it would surely subdue the lobster soldiers.
And how can you call it picking up a bargain when it comes to the trainer's business?
However, after hesitating for a few seconds, Fang Gu shrunk the Poké Ball and put it away.
Corphish is not a suitable Pokémon for a ranch setting; even the Pokémon professor calls it a rogue Pokémon.
Not to mention, its evolved form, Crawdex, is even known as the "Rogue Pokémon".
Its arrival may cause a lot of disputes and unnecessary trouble for Stardew Valley Ranch.
A few seconds after Fang Gu gave up, the lobster soldiers, who had been treated brutally, awoke again thanks to their strong vitality and adaptability.
It called out twice to the distant Psyduck, then jumped back into the stream.
"Forget it, I'll cast a couple of times first and see if I find a Water Pokémon I like."
Chapter 36 Dog Cao's Magikarp is still chasing me!
Actually, Fang Gu's requirements for the desired Water-type Pokémon are not that high.
As long as it can meet the watering requirements of the field, and has a good temperament, that's fine.
Actually, the Marill family we just talked about was pretty good. These "water rat" Pokémon have hands with the ability to "grasp" and can even help during busy farming seasons.
Unfortunately, Fang Gu has already been targeted by Marilulli, the leader of the Marilul clan, and they probably won't let Fang Gu get close easily.
As for Psyduck, it was also excluded by Fang Gu, since a Pokémon with a high degree of non-randomness is bound to have unexpected occurrences.
