Chapter 129 One-horned Rhino Ranch
When Yu Longyan walked to the entrance of the ranch, staff members immediately came to greet him and asked Yu Longyan very enthusiastically.
"Hello, is this your first time coming to the One-Horned Rhino Ranch? Do you need guidance?"
"Well, it's my first time here, but I'm just here for verification, but it doesn't hurt to take a stroll. Maybe I'll take a fancy to a certain one-horned rhinoceros."
Yu Longyan originally only planned to take a driver's license test, but since he's already here, there's no harm in taking a stroll, just in time to see the scenery of the one-horned rhinoceros ranch.
"Okay, I can help you make an appointment for the test in advance. What Pokémon do you want to apply for?"
After the staff heard that Yu Longyan was just preparing for the examination and visiting the ranch just in passing, their attitude did not change and they were still very enthusiastic.
After all, his commission has nothing to do with whether the customer has purchased a one-horned rhinoceros. It only depends on the number of people he guides. As for enthusiasm, it is purely because people in the Pokémon world are honest and love what they do.
"It's a motorcycle lizard."
"Motorcycle lizard... I'm sorry, I may need to excuse you. This is the first time someone has taken the exam for this certificate. I need to prepare for the relevant procedures."
After Yu Longyan said the name of the motorcycle lizard, the staff who seemed to be able to handle it were instantly dumbfounded and hesitantly said that they had to prepare.
Yulongyan didn't say anything more, but asked the staff to go quickly. After all, he also knew that no one in the entire Kanto region, let alone Joban City, had passed the exam so far.
After all, Biker is a specialty Pokémon of the Padia region. Even if a trainer from the Padia region comes to travel to the Kanto region, the relevant documents are common to all regions, so naturally they will not take the test again in the Kanto region.
After nearly ten minutes of waiting, the staff member ran over sweating profusely and told Yu Longyan that the appointment for the assessment had been successful.
There was still some time before the assessment, so Yu Longyan chose to go to the ranch first. After showing his senior researcher's ID, Yu Longyan waived the ticket and deposit and successfully entered the ranch.
Under the guidance of the staff, Yu Longyan crossed the entrance hall and officially entered the valley. At first sight, he saw a long and narrow grassland.
One-horned rhinoceros ranch is said to be a pasture, but in fact it is more like an exclusive protected area for one-horned rhinos, with a large number of one-horned rhinos living in it.
The Alliance sows a large number of seeds on this grassland every year, and regularly uses grass-type Pokémon to promote the growth of pasture and ensure the food source of the one-horned rhinoceros.
There will also be staff patrolling the grassland every day to prevent certain people or Pokémon that are detrimental to the survival of the one-horned rhinoceros from intruding here, and regularly recycling Pokémon eggs laid by the one-horned rhino.
One thing to note here is that the reason why these staff can recycle Pokémon eggs is entirely because these one-horned rhinos were specially bred by the alliance, have a relatively gentle personality, and have a good relationship with the staff.
If you encounter a group of one-horned rhinos in the wild, or find a Pokémon egg, the advice to most trainers is to run quickly without hesitation!
Large groups of one-horned rhinos and Pokémon protecting their cubs are extremely unstable factors in the wild, and people in the Pokémon world are not really immortal.
It is precisely because these one-horned rhinos have relatively gentle personalities and are used to being ridden by others that they are open to the public.
Of course, if you want to conquer the one-horned rhinoceros here, just giving money is useless, it still depends on some fate, and the possibility of returning empty-handed in the end is not impossible.
On the one hand, the alliance frantically suppresses poachers and Pokémon hunters, but on the other hand, it supports the people to obtain the Pokémon they want. There are even corresponding tasks in the Pokémon Center. The only gap during this period is fate.
Needless to say, poachers and Pokémon hunters, when they encounter rare Pokémon species, they just kill them all without caring about casualties, which is outrageous.
The institutions or tasks set up by the alliance are much more humane. If a Pokémon doesn't like you, you are not allowed to force it and you have to release it back to its original place. All losses during the period will be borne by you.
So now the alliance's taskbar generally only contains some common Pokémon and rare Pokémon. People would rather go to the breeding house to squat for a Pokémon egg.
It seems that I accidentally digressed again. Back to the ranch. The one-horned rhinos in the ranch are not allowed to be conquered by fighting. They are not conquered by throwing balls like in the wilderness area. They are conquered through communication and other methods.
This is why there was a deposit requirement before. If you return empty-handed in the end, the deposit will be refunded, but it has nothing to do with Yulong Yan.
Because Yu Longyan is a distinguished senior researcher, the staff has always been by Yu Longyan's side, introducing him to various information about the ranch.
From the staff's narration, Yulongyan learned that riding Pokémon was especially popular in the past few years, but it has become less popular in recent years.
This is due to the popularity of the Pokémon transmission system. Trainers don’t have to carry so many supplies with them. They carry a few commonly used Pokémon with them, and the rest can be transferred to the Pokémon Center when needed. up.
It is foreseeable that after Dr. Oak completely implements the six Pokémon limit, the existence of riding Pokémon may really have a greater symbolic meaning.
When various means of transportation were not yet developed and the Pokémon transmission system had not yet been developed, the existence of riding Pokémon could greatly relieve the pressure of trainers traveling outside.
But the time is getting closer to modern times, and the situation is about to change. After all, riding a Pokémon still has to occupy the Pokémon position.
I won’t go into details about the specific description of the ranch, because it’s not important and the protagonist won’t tame a one-horned rhinoceros.
Yulongyan only knew that even though it was only eight or nine o'clock, no less than ten trainers had already tried to tame the One-horned Rhinoceros, which showed that there was still a market for riding Pokémon.
Not all of them came here with the intention of subduing a mount. After all, Rhinoceros is also a very powerful Pokémon, and it is normal to use it as the main Pokémon.
Moreover, it takes level 40 for a one-horned rhinoceros to evolve into a diamond-horned rhinoceros. Most trainers cannot train it to this level in one or two years, so it can still be used as a long-term mount without conflict.
It's just that these trainers will take the initiative to look for more aggressive one-horned rhinos. Such one-horned rhinos are more likely to evolve and stronger, but they are also very dangerous.
