Pokémon: All About the Breeding House

Chapter 146 Shana: Today I'm the store manager!

It seems that a new challenge for the gyms has begun. In the following days, many teenagers who have just turned ten years old came to the breeding center to buy Pokémon eggs, either accompanied by their families or friends, or alone.

In just three days, Fang Yan sold twelve Pokémon eggs.

These include powerful Pokémon like Rhyhorn and Gliscor, as well as eggs of Pokémon like Wurmple.

Fang Yan was sitting in the rest area, editing the videos she had taken at the celebration, preparing to post them online.

Just then, the Swamp Monster walked over, and Fang Yan looked up at it.

They discovered it was holding a Pokémon egg in its hands.

Is this... laying an egg?

Fang Yan stood up and took the Pokémon egg from Swampert.

I called out to Gengar, asking it to bring me the stethoscope.

With his stethoscope in hand, Fang Yan began to observe the health of the Pokémon egg.

[Mutant's Egg] [Hatching Progress: 1/30]

[As the first egg to remain in the nursery, it seems to have been affected by the nursery's influence.]

Superior quality

Fang Yan closed his eyes and sensed the little life inside the egg. He watched as its unformed little hands seemed to move, as if greeting him.

Fang Yan put away his stethoscope and looked at the text that appeared.

This time there's even an introduction, and it's of superior quality.

What does this mean?

Fang Yan suddenly frowned.

Does this mean that the Mudkip hatched from this egg will be of better quality?

The giant swamp monster, seeing Fang Yan frown, panicked.

Then he quickly asked about the dialect.

Fang Yan snapped out of his reverie, looked at the worried Swamp Monster, shook his head, and said with a smile, "It's very healthy, and I believe it will have excellent potential."

Reaching out to take the egg, Swampert listened to Fang Yan's words and looked at Fang Yan's affirmative face. Swampert glanced down at the egg in its hand, then happily carried the egg back to the backyard.

The dialect is used to dial the phone number of the boy who has entrusted the Swampert and the Quagsire to the nursery to lay eggs.

The boy said he would come and pick them up tomorrow.

After finishing all that, Fang Yan lay back down in the chair.

The next second, the phone rang. Fang Yan took it out and saw that it was a video call from Dr. Yamanashi.

After the dialect connection was established, Dr. Yamanashi's serious face filled the entire screen.

"Hello, is that a dialect?"

"Yes, Dr. Yamanashi, is there anything I can help you with?"

Professor Yamanashi on the other side of the screen nodded. "It's like this. It's the time to choose your starter Pokémon recently. In previous years, some of the starter Pokémon would escape from the lab around this time. Today is no exception, and a few have run away as well. However, the lab is currently a bit short-staffed, and there are quite a few children coming to choose their Pokémon. So I was wondering if you had any time to come and lend me a hand."

Fang Yan nodded after listening.

"Okay, I'll head over to the research institute in a bit."

"So fast? Okay, do you need me to send a Pokémon to pick you up?"

Fang Yan shook his head. The breeding center has Flame Horses, so he can ride one there.

Dr. Yamanashi said he understood, and then he heard someone on the other end saying something about another Piplup running away, and then the call was disconnected.

Fang Yan looked at the phone that had been hung up and stood up.

"Miss Skirt, go and take the sign back."

Miss Skirt nodded and ran out.

"What's wrong, Uncle? Are you going out again?"

Shana, who had just returned from the backyard, saw Miss Skirt take down the sign that had been displayed outside and asked her some questions.

"Yes, Professor Yamanashi from Masago Town needs my help, so I'm going to go and help him."

Shana rolled her eyes.

"Should I go too?"

"Yes."

Shana thought about how many customers had come these past few days. If she closed the shop today, wouldn't she lose a lot of money? And many people would be sad because they couldn't buy a Pokémon egg.

Therefore, she made a decision: "Uncle."

"What's wrong?"

Fang Yan looked at her with some confusion.

Shana asked in a clear voice, "Can I not go?"

Fang Yan paused for a moment, nodded, and then asked, "Sure, can I know why you're not going?"

"The breeding center has been very busy lately. Many people who want to buy Pokémon eggs come to buy them. If we close the store, they will be very sad if they come and can't buy any."

Fang Yan laughed and said, "It's not like we're not coming back. We can open it again tomorrow."

"No, many people will feel uncomfortable waiting an extra day."

Fang Yan was taken aback by Shana's serious expression.

"Does Nashana want to stay and help her uncle at the shop?"

"Hmm!"

Fang Yan thought about it for a while and agreed that Shana's idea was acceptable.

However, he was still a little worried that she was alone in the nursery.

Seeing Fang Yan's concerns, Shana sweetly said, "It's okay, Uncle, Kairos and the others will protect me."

Upon hearing his name mentioned, Keiros immediately straightened his back.

"Hey!"

Yes, that's right!

Fang Yan thought for a moment, then nodded.

"Alright then, I'll cook you some food later before I leave."

"Oh, no need, Monini and I can cook."

"But----"

"Uncle, don't worry about me! Go help! Someone needs you to save the world!"

Shana pushed Fang Yan outside, then imitated the movements of the animated Ultraman.

Fang Yan smiled helplessly and had no choice but to give up.

Standing at the entrance of the breeding house, Fang Yan looked at the group of Pokémon. This time, he only brought Gengar, Mighty, Gothic and Xeno'jiiva, plus a Staraptor, Miss Fortune, and two-handed and three-handed Pokémon, Vulpix, Minion, Vespiquen, Roselia, as well as Pinsir, Heracross, Marill, Gliscor and Misdreavus to stay at the breeding house to maintain its normal operation and protect Shana.

"Sana, if anyone comes to the door wanting to buy a Pokémon egg, call me. Also, if anything happens, be sure to call me."

Shana nodded to indicate that she understood.

Fang Yan then mounted the Flaming Horse with a worried expression.

With Shana waving, they headed towards Masago Town.

Seeing Fang Yan disappear, Shana picked up Liuwei and sat down in the rest area.

His expression was serious.

Quietly waiting for the guests to arrive.

Shortly after Fang Yan left, a middle-aged woman led a boy into the nursery.

Shana stood up and went to greet Miss Skirt.

"Hello, welcome to Uncle's nursery."

Miss Skirt stood quietly to the side when she heard Shana speak.

Pick up Fang Yan's cell phone from the breeding shed and secretly call him.

Fang Yan sat on the back of the fiery horse, answered the video call, and was about to speak when he saw Miss Qun'er on the other side of the screen shush him.

Immediately afterwards, he heard Shana's voice coming from over.

"My uncle isn't here right now; he went to help Dr. Yamanashi. He's handed the shop-keeping job over to me. I'm his assistant, Shana. Do you need any help?"

Listening to Shana learn from her past experiences, combined with the language she picked up from watching TV, and hearing her pretending to be an adult, I couldn't help but chuckle.

"Oh, I see. I'd like to buy a Pokémon egg for Xiaoxi. Do you have any recommendations?"

Shana recalled their previous conversations in the dialect.

"What type does he need?"

What types are available?

"If it's for battle, choose the stronger one; if you want it as a pet, choose the cuter one."

Shana recalled the events and then spoke them aloud in her own words.

The boy suddenly spoke up, "Do you have any cat monsters here?"

Shana was stunned.

A little cat monster?

She led them into the hatching room, looking at the Pokémon eggs, and asked, "Which one is the Shiny?"

Just when she was at a loss, Miss Skirt, guided by Fang Yan, quietly came to a Pokémon.

"Cough cough————"

Shana turned her head, glanced at Miss Skirt who was coughing, and ran over.

Found it! The cat monster's egg!

Then she put on her stethoscope and, speaking in the local dialect, began to observe the egg's health.

"Great! This egg is very healthy!"

Shana handed the stethoscope to Miss Skirt, and with Hercules' help, took the egg.

"Do you need any?"

The little boy nodded.

"How much does it cost?"

Shana pulled a small notebook from her backpack, on which she had secretly recorded the prices of different Pokémon eggs while following Fang Yan.

"The little cat monster's words—I found them, 12 Alliance Coins!"

The little boy took the Pokémon egg, and the woman suddenly said something while giving him the money.

"You're selling it for too high a price. It only sells for 90,000 elsewhere. How about this, I'll give you 100,000."

After saying that, she gave him 100,000 yuan, then turned around and prepared to leave with the boy.

Shana ran to the door and opened her arms to block them.

"120,000 Alliance Coins!"

She pouted and said, word by word.

The woman tried to push Shana away, but found that they were surrounded by Pokémon.

"You little girl, I've already given you extra money, why are you still nagging?"

"I said, 120,000!"

Shana ignored her and continued speaking.

Miss Skirt narrowed her eyes slightly and began to gather grass-type energy in her hands.

"What? You want to bully a little girl?"

A soft laugh came from outside the door, and Xia Lan, dressed casually, walked in, accompanied by Miss Officer Jenny.

"Sister Xia Lan, Sister Xiao Ye."

Shana gave a happy shout, and then puffed out her cheeks to complain to them.

Miss Officer Jenny narrowed her eyes slightly.

The woman quickly took out her money.

"I've made up my mind, I'm not selling it to you!"

After saying that, she snatched the Pokémon egg back.

The boy burst into tears on the spot.

The aunt was still saying something.

"Aren't you afraid the owner of this animal breeding facility will come back and find out you ruined his business, and then he'll yell at you?"

Shana was taken aback.

"Shana means what I mean."

Hearing the dialect voice coming from the phone, Shana's eyes reddened.

"Get out. We're not selling to you!"

After saying that, Shana put the Pokémon egg back into the hatching room.
