"Bro Feng! You have to visit again!" Xiao Da waved vigorously as Su Feng bid farewell.
The grassland educational tour had concluded successfully. Thanks to Su Feng's efforts, local herders like Xiao Da's family had begun building trust with Pokémon like Miltank, laying the groundwork for their own dairy farms. Su Feng had openly shared Miltank care guides online, ensuring even novice herders could thrive.
"Count on it," Su Feng grinned, ruffling Xiao Da's hair. "Take good care of the Miltank and Mareep, alright?"
"I promise!" Xiao Da puffed out her chest. "Next time you come, our ranch will be unrecognizable!"
"I'll hold you to that. Video call me if you hit any snags."
With a stake in the Da family's ranch, Su Feng knew steady income was on the horizon—a welcome change from relying solely on Old Chen and Xu's support.
After final goodbyes to Xiao Da and her father, Su Feng addressed his livestream:
"This concludes our grassland expedition. I hope you've all gained a deeper understanding of prairie Pokémon. After some rest, I'll announce the next location—feel free to vote on my page! Mountains? Snowfields? You decide."
"See you in a few days. Bye~"
"Gastly~!"
"Combusken!"
Haunter and Combusken waved alongside him before Su Feng ended the stream. Yet viewers lingered, flooding the chat:
[Rewatched the race three times! Legendary content!]
[Already missing Feng's streams…]
[As an X City herder, I used to chase Miltank away. Now I'm apologizing to every one I see!]
[Come to Y City next! Our mountain ranges put these grasslands to shame!]
[H City's new snow peaks NEED a Feng exploration!]
Folding his drone into his bottomless backpack, Su Feng caught Jin's bewildered glance in the rearview mirror. The soldier's eye twitched as the bulky equipment vanished into the seemingly ordinary bag. First a tent, now this? Jin shook his head, recalling last night's spectacle—Su Feng casually stuffing Berries, herbs, and Farfetch'd's absurd leek into the same pack.
Outside, Ponyta trotted effortlessly alongside the SUV. While Jin wished to let her ride, her fiery mane and size made it impractical. Yet Ponyta seemed content, treating the 80 km/h pace as a leisurely stroll.
"Any ideas on transporting her back?" Jin grimaced. Their return via military helicopter posed a problem—Ponyta's flames and flight safety didn't mix.
Su Feng's playful demeanor shifted. He pulled a red-and-white sphere from his bag, its surface gleaming with unfamiliar tech. "Jin. What I'm about to show you stays between us, Old Xu, and Old Chen. Understood?"
Jin pulled over, sensing gravity in Su Feng's tone. "This… technology. It's experimental but functional." Su Feng rotated the Premier Ball in his palm. "It'll solve Ponyta's transport issue. I'll disclose it to the higher-ups when the time's right. For now—silence."
The unspoken weight of the device hung in the air. Jin nodded sharply. "You have my word."
Su Feng's seriousness dissolved into his usual grin. "Great! Let's give Ponyta her new ride."
