Chapter 28
The Scout (3/5)

“Dinner’s ready!”

Just as all the Pokémon were eagerly waiting, Chu Mu yelled out the window, “Dinner’s ready!”

The moment they heard this sound, the Pokémon gathered outside the kitchen all ran to get their bowls and waited.

“Electivire, Marill, come into the kitchen to help!”

Chu Mu came outside the kitchen and called Electivire and Marill to come inside. Then, he asked them to help carry the large pot of specially-selected apple curry soup and the large pot of rice out.

Then, Chu Mu had the Pokémon line up, and he scooped a spoonful of rice and a spoonful of curry soup into each of their bowls.

When he got to Pikachu, Chu Mu specially scooped a large spoonful of specially-selected apple curry soup for Pikachu.

“Pikachu! This is a reward for you. Thank you for helping me complete today’s lunch!”

“Pika!”

Pikachu happily spun in circles!

After Chu Mu finished distributing lunch to all the Pokémon, Derek also finished his work and came to the kitchen.

“Hey! Chu Mu! What’s for lunch today? I could smell the aroma from far away!” Derek asked curiously.

At the same time, he looked at the bowls of the Pokémon next to him. They all had the same lunch since they were eating together.

“Oh? Is it curry?”

“Yes! Uncle Derek, you guessed right. We’re having curry today. It’s specially-selected apple curry!” Chu Mu held two bowls of specially-selected apple curry soup and came in front of Derek.

Then he handed Derek his bowl.

“Eat quickly! You must be hungry!”

Derek smiled and took the lunch box, then started to eat.

“Hmm! Not bad! Didn’t expect you to have such skills! Really good!”

Chu Mu smiled and didn’t say anything. No disaster meant it was the best.

Derek looked at the Pokémon all over the grass field, while eating, and said to Chu Mu: “Actually, according to your arrangements, your ranch work is much less than what I did before.”

“Because of the help of so many Pokémon, it is indeed much easier!” Chu Mu said.

“Yes! So, this morning, I just let out Miltank, Mareep, and Tauros. Then I cleaned up the place. When it’s afternoon, I let them back and add more green silage. That’s all the work for the day.”

“It’s clear that under your planning, your ranch is transforming in a good direction. The most obvious example is the wool of Mareep. I’ve been paying attention every day, so I have the deepest feeling. When the Mareep start shearing tomorrow, you’ll know how much wealth your Mareep have brought you!”

Speaking of this, Derek suddenly thought of something, and he said to Chu Mu: “By the way, about the big company I told you to find, have you found them?”

Chu Mu nodded, “I already wrote down the contact information for Swan Group last night. I’ll call them after lunch.”

“Swan Group? I also heard from Leo that they’ve been looking for high-quality Mareep wool, so they’ll probably offer a high price.” Derek thought for a moment and said.

“By the way, what do you think about the shearer? Based on my understanding of you, you must want to have the Pokémon do it, right?”

Chu Mu smiled and nodded. After all, for Chu Mu, using Pokémon would mean lower costs for him.

Derek had a look of “I knew it,” and said: “Since that’s the case, you should go into the mountains today and look for a Scyther. Before I leave this afternoon, I’ll put the shearing tutorial in your living room. Have Scyther take a look at it tonight, and he can start tomorrow.”

“Okay! No problem! Using Scyther to solve this issue, it’s really great!” Chu Mu smiled.

Soon, Derek finished his lunch and left the kitchen. As a veteran who has been in the ranch for many years, he has his own entertainment methods.

Chu Mu didn’t guide him too much. He treated Derek coming to the ranch as a friend helping out.

After Chu Mu finished the last bite of curry, he started to clean up the dishes.

The Pokémon next to him also started to help Chu Mu do things within their abilities.

Chu Mu smiled, “Looks like this specially-selected apple curry was still effective! Their intimacy has increased!”

“Dish: Specially-selected apple curry (Level 1), can slightly increase Pokémon intimacy.”

This was the effect after the system evaluated its grade!

Chu Mu was quite satisfied with this effect.

Although Chu Mu had captured many Pokémon through the powerful strength of Charizard and Electivire, there was a deficiency in intimacy.

After all, if the number is too large, there is no way to cultivate them one by one!

Therefore, the Pokémon with high intimacy are only Charizard, Electivire, and Spritzee.

While the ones Chu Mu had high hopes for, Gible, Bronzor, Aggron, and the Alpha Togekiss, were slightly lacking in intimacy.

With this dish effect, Chu Mu felt that occasionally having it once would increase his intimacy with the Pokémon!

After finishing cleaning up the pots and pans in the kitchen, Chu Mu could finally take a break.

But before resting, Chu Mu found the notebook that recorded the Swan Group’s contact information.

Although he didn’t know what kind of person they would be, Chu Mu had his own confidence.

After all, those high-quality Mareep wool weren’t street goods!

Chu Mu picked up his phone and dialed the number according to the contact information in the notebook!

“Beep! Hello! I’m Daisy, a scout from Swan Group. I’m currently looking for high-quality Mareep wool! Due to too many calls, if you have what I need, please leave a message, thank you!”

“Hello, Daisy. I’m Chu Mu, the ranch owner of Chu Mu Ranch in Danbo Town. I have a batch of Mareep wool about to be sheared, which should meet your needs. We’re going to shear tomorrow morning. If you need it, you can come and have a look. The contact number is the one I’m calling you with. So… well, if you need it, please call me. Then… bye!”

After hanging up the phone, Chu Mu was still a bit uncomfortable. After all, in the past, when making phone calls, he rarely received any voicemails.

Of course, more importantly, Chu Mu wasn’t sure if she would come. This made Chu Mu feel a bit anxious, after all, he didn’t get a definite answer.

Thinking about this, Chu Mu felt that it might be better to ask Derek, so he could feel more at ease.
