Chapter 1024: 9 Tails! Defending the Ranch

"Are you ready? Vulpix!"

At this moment, Ash was squatting in front of Vulpix with a top-grade Fire Stone in his hand. After being trained by Ash for a long time, Vulpix finally evolved!

"Awoo~" Vulpix's tail was shaking, and it couldn't wait to stretch out its little claws and press on the top-grade fire stone. In an instant, the light of evolution began to bloom.

The power of the top-grade fire stone is continuously injected into Vulpix's body. Its body shape is changing dramatically, and the nine tails behind it are stretching out.

As the light of evolution shattered, a Nine-Tailed Fox with golden fur and noble pride appeared in front of Xiaozhi.

【Nine-tailed Fox】

[Attribute: Fire]

[Characteristic: Sunshine]

[Skills: Divine Power, Mystical Guardian, Big Character Explosion, Iron Tail...]

[Strength: Early Gym Stage]

It was Ash who trained Vulpix to the late elite stage, and then with the help of the top-grade Fire Stone, he directly raised it two levels and broke through to the gym level!

"It's almost time!" After planning Ninetales' next training, Xiaozhi looked up at the sunrise above the sea level, "Let's go, it's time to have breakfast and go to Pokémon School!"

Then he took many Pokémon to enjoy the breakfast prepared by Latias, and then went to the Pokémon School.

As soon as Xiaozhi stepped into the classroom, he caught a glimpse of Kachi's ferocious, murderous look. Not only that, beside Kachi, Gara Gara was also waving his bone club desperately!

Looking at Liliae and the other four, they were huddled together, looking at Kachi with worried faces and muttering softly, "What's wrong with Kachi? Did he have a fight with his sister?"

However, this speculation is clearly unreliable. After all, everyone knows that Kachi is a complete sister-con! His love for his sister is beyond imagination.

"Alola, what's wrong with you?" Seeing this, Xiaozhi hurriedly walked up to Kachi and asked with concern.

Hearing Xiaozhi's voice, Kachi finally came back to his senses, but his face was still frighteningly gloomy. After hesitating for a while, Kachi finally told Xiaozhi and the others the whole story.

It turned out that just yesterday, an uninvited guest suddenly came to the Kachi family's ranch.

The man was dressed in gorgeous clothes and covered in jewels, but his head was bald. Without saying a word, he broke into the ranch and shamelessly claimed that he was the chairman of Rainbow Happy Development and Construction Company and his name was Brucen.

What's even more outrageous is that right from the start, this Brughen bluntly threatened to buy the Kachi family's ranch and convert it into a luxury resort hotel.

How could Kachi and his family possibly agree to this? After all, their family had lived on this ranch for generations, protected by Mount Vera. So they rejected the man's proposal without hesitation.

However, what was unexpected was that the man was so cruel that he actually bought the land upstream of the river on their ranch, directly cutting off the ranch's water supply! This was undoubtedly a fatal blow to the Kachi family. Without water, the ranch would face a huge survival crisis.

"This is too much! Did the company discuss this matter with you before acquiring the land?" Liliae was also filled with righteous indignation after listening to Kachi's story. She was very angry about this unreasonable behavior.

Kachi shook his head helplessly, his face filled with sorrow as he continued, "We've been in contact. My dad went straight to them, but that man called Bruggen was incredibly arrogant and unreasonable. He even went on to say things like, 'I'm free to do what I want with the land. If you're not happy, just sell me the ranch!'"

At this moment, Mamane beside her suddenly shouted excitedly: "Got it!"

It turned out that after some searching, Mamane finally found some information about Bruggen and the company.

"I found out that the company has been buying up land everywhere recently with the intention of developing and building a resort hotel. Moreover, their attitude is extremely bad and their reputation is very bad. They are simply looking for trouble!" Mamane said as he handed the information to everyone.

Everyone expressed their willingness to help after hearing this. Mamane, in particular, shouted angrily that she would never agree if she couldn't have Kachi's ice cream!

Seeing this, Xiaozhi smiled and nodded. "This kind of person is actually very easy to deal with! I'm the Alliance Investigator. I'll have Miss Junsha from Akala Island thoroughly investigate his background! As long as we can find solid evidence, things will be much easier!"

However, at this moment, Kachi suddenly ignited a strong fighting spirit. He clenched his fists and said with a firm look: "Before that, please let me defeat that guy myself!"

Xiaozhi looked at Kachi, with a glint of admiration in his eyes, "Very good, Kachi, I believe you can do it! Then everyone, today's practical class will be changed to an outdoor practice class!"

As soon as Xiaozhi finished speaking, Hoopa immediately opened a halo leading to Kachi's ranch.

Everyone passed through the halo and arrived at Kachi's ranch. Kachi's parents, Xibu and Amara, happened to be at the door. When they saw everyone coming, they smiled happily and hurried forward to express their sincere gratitude for everyone's help.

Xibu told everyone that although they had successfully solved the water problem, as long as they did not solve the problem of Bruggen, they would definitely continue to encounter various problems in the future.

As expected, when everyone was busy helping out on the ranch, Kachi was taking a group of donkeys to the distant river to drink water.

However, he was stunned the moment he reached the river. The fence of the ranch was destroyed by a group of people, and the big milk cans were released!

"What are you doing?" Kachi was extremely anxious. He didn't care about anything else and rushed over like a gust of wind.

When he saw the faces of those people clearly, the anger in his heart was instantly ignited - it was indeed that hateful guy Bruggen!

"The ranch has been closed down for a long time, so there's no need for these Pokémon to stay here!" Bruggen said arrogantly, as if what he did was natural.

However, this is complete nonsense!

You know, the Kachi family's ranch is quite large. After all, it is the legacy left by the previous generation of island kings, and it has a rich heritage! Not only that, under the meticulous management of the wise Xibu, the ranch business is thriving. Where is there any sign of failure?

"The first priority is to find Miltank!" Kachi sent out Gallagher and Infernape without hesitation.

However, at this time, Bruggen and his men sent out their own Pokémon. Electabuzz, Stoneball, and Mantle Rock blocked Kachi. "If you want Electabuzz to give way, you have no hope unless you charge at it with all your strength!"
