My Pokémon Story of Seasons

Chapter 280 100th Day Anniversary

"Get the Fantasy Potions Shop built today!"

Tong Hua raised his arm and waved it, full of energy. The big-tailed raccoon beside him also shook its tail, showing an expression that said, "Leave it to me."

"Splash!"

"Lili!"

Under the command of the head of the household, the large raccoon dogs sprang into action with great momentum, as if they were about to replicate the feat of building the highway the day before.

No, it shouldn't be called a replica, it should be surpassed!

After all, having secretly learned from professional construction teams for so long, the Big-Tailed Tanuki family's skills have now reached a new level.

"Worm!"

The worm is responsible for transporting timber. Its massive, winding body easily rolls up the timber beams and places them precisely in their designated positions.

The big-tailed raccoon, carrying a wood saw and a hammer, occasionally directed a group of big-toothed raccoons to move and assemble the items.

Tong Hua and the other Pokémon on the ranch were also busy, turning into helpers to hand over tools, hold up planks, and clean up the area.

"Ah~" The sweet and cold queen led her expedition team members, helping with the work while releasing fragrance to cheer everyone up.

"Trembling!" "Meow!" Chinchilla and the pickpocket cat, like two little supervisors, jumped up and down, checking every corner.

"Bri!" Tibrim floated in mid-air, pointed a few times with her little finger, and the required plank was sent to the correct position by telekinesis.

The main force behind the construction was naturally Tong Hua. With the expertise of a woodcarver, he handled these carpentry tasks as easily as breathing.

Sawing wood, planing, tenoning, assembling—each step is performed with the skill of someone who has practiced it a thousand times, requiring no thought and letting the body do it automatically.

In his hands, the wood seemed to be given life, gradually transforming from its original form into the structure in the design drawings.

Walls, roof, arched window frames—the main structure of the potions shop rose from the ground at an astonishing speed.

The light-colored wood gleams softly in the sunlight, and the rounded lines and mushroom-shaped roof design make the whole building look like it was taken straight out of a fairy tale.

As the last carved wooden ornament was precisely inlaid above the lintel, the setting sun sank just below the horizon, painting the sky a brilliant orange-red.

"It's done!"

Tong Hua put down her tools and let out a long sigh of relief.

He stood a little distance away with the Pokémon, admiring their masterpiece.

The small, mushroom-shaped roof is covered with dark shingles, creating a pleasing contrast with the light-colored wood of the main body.

The arched windows have already been fitted with transparent glass, and in the future, they will be adorned with stained glass paintings.

The carved wooden decoration above the lintel was added on a whim; the pattern was the profile of Tibrim's face, with a touch of arrogance.

The building shares the same style as the adjacent Happiness Dessert Shop, yet it has its own unique characteristics, as if they were born to stand side by side.

"Beep!" The big-tailed raccoon proudly slapped the ground with its tail, and the whole family of big-toothed raccoons sat in a neat row, heads held high and chests puffed out, clearly extremely satisfied with their creation.

"Whoosh~" Celebi flew around the new building happily, as if celebrating that the felled trees had been given a new life in another form.

"Ama!" "Trembling!" "Meow!" The Pokémon all gathered around, making various exclamations and joyful noises.

"Next comes the interior decoration and layout!"

"

Tong Hua looked at the exquisite and lovely little house in front of him, his excitement undiminished. He pushed open the unpainted wooden door and stepped inside.

The interior space is more spacious than it appears from the outside. The floor is made of smooth, dark wood planks, and the walls retain the natural grain of the wood, giving it a rustic and warm feel.

The afterglow of the setting sun cast soft dappled light into the room through the arched windows.

"Here's a glass display case for potions—"

A row of shelves can be placed against that wall to store materials and finished products.

The empty space in the middle is just right to place a crucible, and a stove can be built underneath with bricks and stones.

As Tong Hua strolled along, she mentally planned out the interior furnishings of the famous building.

"Bree!"

Tibrim floated in as well, hovering in the center of the room. She rested her chin on her hand, looked around, and then nodded.

"We'll do it your way, but we have to add one thing: Bree!"

Set up a refining station over there for me! It'll be convenient for restocking and doing simple live demonstrations, Bree!

"Great idea!" Tong Hua immediately agreed. Having a "witch" mixing potions on-site in the potion shop would definitely attract customers.

"Oh my~" Sweet and beautiful Queen also walked in gracefully, gently tapping the wall with both hands, "I think we can hang some dried herbs and flowers here as decorations, which can purify the air and enhance the atmosphere."

"Terror!" "Meow!" Hearing her say that, the other children in the family also offered their own whimsical ideas.

Everyone chimed in with their ideas, and soon a rough outline of the interior layout came to fruition. Tong Hua felt a warm glow in her heart as she watched the Pokémon chattering away, contributing their thoughts.

This wondrous potion shop, from its design and construction to its current interior planning, embodies everyone's hard work and wisdom.

"Okay! Let's do it the way everyone says!"

Tong Hua took out her notebook and quickly jotted down the furniture and decorations needed, then smiled and declared, "Leave all of this to me! Let's try to open this wondrous potion shop tomorrow!"

As night fell completely, the fairytale ranch returned to silence.

After a busy day at work, the coolness of the night feels especially pleasant.

The Pokémon returned to their respective resting places, and the newly built Potions Shop stood quietly under the moonlight, like a sweet dream waiting to be awakened.

After washing up and recording the day's income and expenses, Tong Hua lay down on the soft bed with Chinchilla and the pickpocket cat.

It's only 10 p.m., and the two little ones clearly don't want to go to sleep yet. They're waiting for Tong Hua to fall asleep before sneaking downstairs to the living room to watch TV.

Unfortunately, because she went to bed much earlier than usual and had many plans to make the next day, Tong Hua couldn't fall asleep at all.

The moonlight, like water, streamed through the skylight onto the bed, casting a hazy glow over the room.

Tong Hua stared at the ceiling with her eyes open, wide awake. The Chinchilla on her left was fidgeting restlessly, while the pickpocket cat on her right, though her eyes were closed, had her ears twitching slightly, revealing that she was equally awake.

"well----"

Tong Hua sighed softly, turned over, and faced the pickpocket cat. "Stop pretending to be asleep. I know you're all awake."

The pickpocket cat immediately opened its eyes and blinked innocently: "Meow?"

"They weren't pretending to be asleep, were they?"

The chinchilla on the other side immediately came over, its little paws pawing at Tong Hua's arm: "Tear! Tear!"

"That's right, who's pretending to be asleep!"

Tong Hua looked at the two obviously excited little guys and smiled helplessly. He reached out and gently rubbed their fluffy little heads, one in each hand.

"Okay, okay, you weren't pretending to be asleep, you were just talking in your sleep, right? I get it, I get it."

Tong Hua couldn't help but chuckle. He simply sat up, leaned against the headboard, and pulled the two little ones to his side.

Chinchilla immediately found a comfortable position to snuggle up next to his legs, while the pickpocket cat lay demurely on his pillow, its tail occasionally brushing against his arm.

"Speaking of which," Tong Hua said, gazing at the starry sky outside the window with a hint of nostalgia, "when we first arrived at this ranch, there was only a dilapidated little wooden house and a wasteland overgrown with weeds."

"Trembling—" Chino the squirrel also recalled that time and rubbed its little head against Tong Hua.

It was only three months ago, but it seems like exactly 100 days ago.

"Meow." The pickpocket cat meowed softly. She arrived a little late, but she had witnessed the ranch gradually becoming better.

"Back then, I never imagined that one day there would be a dessert shop here, a big house, and so many Pokémon partners."

Now, there even needs to be a potion shop.

Tong Hua's voice was soft, with a satisfied smile, "It feels like I'm dreaming."

The two Pokémon listened quietly, feeling the warmth and emotion in the words.

"Although sometimes I feel tired and troubled," Tong Hua looked down at the Chinchilla beside her legs and the pickpocket cat beside her pillow, her eyes softening, "it seems like I can overcome any difficulty when you're by my side."

"Trembling!" Chinchilla immediately raised its head and patted its chest with its little paws, indicating "Leave it to me."

The pickpocket cat gave a soft "humph" and turned its head away, but its tail wrapped even tighter.

A night breeze stirred the curtains, bringing with it the faint sounds of insects chirping in the distant grass. The moonlight flowed quietly, outlining the figures of a person and two Pokémon in a warm and peaceful manner.

"Alright," Tong Hua lay back down, pulling the blanket up. "Even though I can't sleep, I should rest. Tomorrow is a big day, we need to be well-rested."

This time, Chinchilla and the pickpocket cat didn't cause any trouble.

They nestled quietly on either side of Tong Hua, their eyes closed.
