"really."
Looking at the peaches and mangoes on the tree, Fang Gu had already decided on a Pokémon.
Both of these trees produce sweet fruit.
Of the four Pokémon that Fang Gu just mentioned wanting to see—the baby duck, the riding sheep, Mareep, and the cream puff—one of them has a particular fondness for sweet flavors.
"The place ahead must be a gathering place for cream puffs, since these Pokémon love sweet berries the most."
Judy turned around and looked at Fang Gu in surprise, then smiled and said, "It seems you know a lot about Pokémon, Fang Gu. I think it should be fine to entrust these children to you."
"The cream puffs are right in front of you."
As soon as Judy finished speaking, she took only two or three steps when she heard some noises coming from the high canopy of the trees.
A white, fluffy figure, like a cotton candy, peeked out from the tree canopy.
Then one, two... a dozen or so birds poked their heads out of the tree, their eyes fixed on Judy and Fang Gu.
"It's a cream puff."
Fang Gu exclaimed in amazement; this was the first time he had ever seen such a delicate and elfin-like cream puff.
Its entire body is covered in fluffy white and pink fur, making it look like a cotton candy floating in mid-air. The only part of its face that is visible is its little face with its tongue sticking out and its eyes wide open.
"Cotton~"
"Cotton~"
"Cotton~"
…………
The cream puffs pounced on Fang Gu and Judy like a pack of enthusiastic puppies.
Just before being swallowed by the cream puff, Judy stretched her hand out of the circle and cried out weakly, "Cream puff, I didn't bring any candy today!"
Fang Gu was so happy he was almost dizzy.
So many soft, fluffy things...
Fang Gu and Judy were saved only when Fat Sweetie, the leader of the Creamy Puffs, arrived.
…………
In the cabin in the forest, Fat Sweetie served Fang Gu some cream puffs she had made herself.
This chubby Sweetie is Judy's Pokémon, and they seem to have a good relationship.
"When I was traveling, this child was my dessert buddy."
Judy gently rubbed Fatty Sweetie's soft cheeks, and Fang Gu's eyes revealed a hint of envy.
She then grabbed a cream puff from the side, took out a spoonful of sweetness to bribe it, and roughly kneaded the cream puff with her devilish claws.
Honestly, these fluffy cream puffs would be perfect for a cat café-like entertainment venue. Their enthusiastic personalities mean you could pet them all day long just by feeding them a little something sweet.
It's absolutely a favorite among cute Pokémon lovers!
"So, do you like the cream puffs I've raised?"
Judy smiled, picked up a cream puff, took a small bite, and the rich cream oozed out.
These are all premium creams produced by Mianmian Cream Puff and Fat Sweetie, which are the best choice for making desserts and sweet treats.
Each cream puff consumes nearly its own weight in sugar daily to maintain its physical and mental well-being.
If they don't get enough sugar, they become extremely irritable and angry.
Each cream puff can produce enough cream for three people every day, and in just a few days, a cream puff feast can be made!
When the fluffy cream puff evolves into the chubby sweetie, it will produce even more advanced cream, and with hands, the chubby sweetie will be the best helper in making Western desserts.
Internationally renowned pastry chefs usually have two Pokémon: Slimie and Alcremie.
Alcremie is a fairy from the Galar region and is not found in the Kalos region.
Fang Gu chose Mianmian Cream Puff this time because he wanted to select a Pokémon that could become his assistant in making desserts and Western dishes.
Ideally, it would be a fluffy, soft Pokémon.
Fat Sweetie is the best choice.
Unfortunately, Judy's ranch doesn't sell Slimy directly, probably because of the special conditions required for Slimy's evolution.
It must be placed in a special magnetic field, eat the foamy cream it made, and feel happy in order to evolve.
Judy's chubby Sweeney evolved by chance, during a picnic at the foot of a mountain.
It was later proven that the mountain releases a special magnetic field during the spring and autumn seasons, which can help Fat Sweetie evolve.
As research into Pokémon deepened, Dr. Bill discovered that by modifying the frequency of the Pokémon teleportation device, a small magnetic field could be applied between two teleportation devices.
It can help Pokémon like Kadabra, Haunter, and Machoke evolve.
Dr. Hou Zhenghui called this phenomenon connection evolution.
This transmission device, capable of modifying frequencies, is not yet widespread; it is only found in the Elf Doctor's research institute.
The closest research institute to Stardew Valley Ranch in Moorvale is Dr. Bratano's institute in Miare City.
Before thinking about evolution, Fang Gu still needs to choose a cream puff to take with him.
"So, which cream puff are you going to choose?"
Fang Gu looked at the dozen or so cream puffs in front of him and was caught in a dilemma.
It can tell a cream puff's health from its fur and expression, but it cannot tell a cream puff's heart.
"I really can't choose." Fang Gu sighed and turned to Fatty Sweetie for help, "Fatty Sweetie, can you recommend a cream puff who loves making desserts and wants to become a pastry chef?"
Among the cream puffs, one tiny cream puff sticks out its tongue, its eyes instantly lighting up.
And in the end, Fat Sweetie's hand also landed on it.
Fang Gu looked in the direction that Pang Tianni was pointing.
A cream puff with a heart-shaped mark on its body is staring intently at Fang Gu.
It's as if it's saying, "Pick me now, pick me now!"
Fang Gu:!!!
Chapter 54 Entrustment
Fang Gu had never seen such an enthusiastic Pokémon before!
What are you waiting for if you don't subdue them now!
"I've chosen you! The fluffy cream puff with the imprint of your heart!"
Fang Gu pointed a finger, and the fluffy cream puff understood immediately. With a flick of its tail, it jumped onto Fang Gu's shoulder and enthusiastically licked Fang Gu's cheek with its tongue.
"It's so itchy."
Fang Gu couldn't resist, his face covered in the enthusiastic drool of the cream puff.
"Great."
Judy watched all this with a smile, took out the Poké Ball from the hut, and handed it to Fang Gu.
"This is a tiny Poké Ball, please keep it safe."
Fang Gu tilted his head, his face close to Mianmian's, and said, "Little heart?"
Judy covered her mouth and laughed, "That's my nickname for this cream puff! Look, doesn't it have a little heart mark on it?"
Giving Pokémon nicknames is Judy's habit; even Slippery has a nickname.
However, they will respond if you call them by their names.
The fluffy puff pretended to be angry, and nuzzled Fang Gu's head against it.
Fang Gu quickly reassured her. At this moment, Fang Gu realized that Xiaoxin, also known as Mianmian Puff, was a cute and adorable girl.
"Sigh, Stardew Valley Ranch is a bit too female-dominated."
Bulbasaur, the three bees, and the newly arrived pudding are all girls, while Magikarp currently only has boys.
Oh right, and Fang Xing also sent three male honeybees.
When we get back, we'll have to have the three bees give the three new guys a good talking-to.
After selecting the cream puffs, Judy took Fang Gu to a grassland.
On the grassland, lambs nestled beside goats, while sheep scattered across the land, heads bowed, grazing on the lush pasture.
"These haystacks were all grown from grass seeds from Peter's Grocery Store, and the quality is very good."
"You can get a discount if you mention my name."
Fang Gu nodded slightly. Sheep-type Pokémon like Mount Lamb and Mareep are grass-eating creatures.
If you feed them with portions of hay.
First, the price is too high. Naturally grown grass seeds consume soil fertility, while hay purchased from other ranches consumes money from Fang Gu's pocket.
Secondly, fresh hay has better nutritional value and taste than hay.
Moreover, Stardew Valley Ranch has vast tracts of land.
"Looks like I'll have to go to the grocery store to buy some grass seeds later."
"But at least pasture doesn't require much care."
Fang Gu's first task every morning is to water the grass. If the hay needs watering, given the vast area of Stardew Valley Ranch, he'd probably need a whole day's worth of water.
Just thinking about it sent a chill down Fang Gu's spine.
Next, Judy introduced Mare the sheep to Fang Gu.
This sheep-like Pokémon, covered in yellow wool, with dark blue skin and a tail resembling a small light bulb, is a major source of fabric in the Kalos region.
However, Mare sheep have unusually fluffy wool that contains a lot of air.
The harvested wool still contains a lot of static electricity and must be specially treated before it can be used.
