Pokémon: All About the Breeding House

Chapter 158 Hot Pot, Heart-to-Heart Lake and Emredo (4000 words)

King Yanwu lay motionless on the ground.

Miss Skirt's first gym battle ended with her defeating three opponents single-handedly, even though she was the defending gym member.

The magnificent male general, Emboar, retrieved the Pokémon into its Poké Ball.

"Thank you for your hard work, King Yanwu. I was too confident."

Cai Zhong and Miss Qun'er walked up, and then Cai Zhong took a badge from his assistant.

"This is your certification as a gym leader."

Cai Zhong took the badge and handed it to Hua Li Nan.

"This is the Forest Emblem. I hope that in your upcoming journey, you will not underestimate your opponents and will pay more attention to other factors in battle. Battle is not just about practical moves."

Listening to Cai Zhong's words, Fang Yan looked at the smile on her face, bright and sunny, full of confidence.

It seems that Cai Zhong has become more confident since he returned to being the head of the dojo.

Fang Yan smiled. The strength of a gym leader is still stronger than most trainers. Gym leaders below the Elite Four are definitely not as weak as they are in the game.

Fang Yan looked at Miss Skirt and found that it was looking at him, as if to say how well he had done and to praise it.

Although it wasn't very friendly to Yanwu King and the others, what could they do when their Miss Skirt was so beautiful?

Try giving it a big thumbs up and then grin.

"Kou Jie Yi—"

As expected of you, Miss Skirt!

Fang Yan glanced at Gengar next to him, which was doing the same thing as him, and secretly tugged at its tail.

huh~

After accepting the forest badge, the glamorous man bowed solemnly.

After the glamorous man left, Fang Yan also stepped forward to say goodbye to Cai Zhong.

The vegetable seeds seemed reluctant to say goodbye to Miss Skirt.

Seeing her reluctant expression, Fang Yan was speechless. In the end, he could only say, "If you have time, you can come to the nursery for tea and a chat. It's not far anyway."

Upon hearing this, the vegetable seed nodded quickly.

He quickly assured her that he would be there soon.

Then Fang Yan led Gengar and the others out of the gym.

Cai Zhong originally intended to deliver the dialect to the station, but then another trainer came who wanted to challenge the gym.

The dialect can be heard from afar.

Seeing the familiar dead fish eyes, Fang Yan suppressed his urge to go and watch the game, then opened the taxi door and got in.

Given Shinji's abilities, he should be able to succeed in the challenge.

The train continued its journey, and Gengar and Vulpix pressed their cheeks against the train window, carefully observing the scenery outside.

Fang Yan frowned as he looked at Gengar, a Pokémon that completely blocked the view through the glass window.

Should I start controlling their diet?

I patted Gengar's butt; it seemed a bit big, and with its six tails, it felt heavier than usual when I held it in my arms.

As Fang Yan was thinking about this, Gengar and Vulpix suddenly shivered.

Gengar quickly turned around.

Who? Who's trying to ambush me?!

After looking around and finding no one there, it exchanged a glance with Six-Tails, confirming that someone had tried to ambush them.

Finally, it looked at the dialect that was thinking.

I could tell at a glance that you're not a good person.

After saying that, Gengar immediately licked it.

dialect:?!

Why does my body feel numb?!

Fang Yan grabbed Gengar by the ear and led it out of the station, his teeth itching with anger.

Gengar's ears were being held by Fang Yan, and its entire body was floating in the air, moving with Fang Yan's movements. From a distance, it looked as if it was being dragged along by Fang Yan.

At the same time, he placed the index fingers of both hands on his chest and touched them together, looking aggrieved.

Whose Pokémon licks its owner while they're thinking?!

It gave its mouth a vicious tug, then mounted the fiery horse that had come to fetch it and galloped wildly toward the breeding house.

Back at the breeding house, Fang Yan found that the Fujino couple were pruning the flower bushes in front of the breeding house and the branches of some fruit trees that were blocking the view.

"Oh, the shop manager with dialect is back?"

When Mrs. Fujino saw Fang Yan dismount from the blazing horse, she covered her mouth in surprise and exclaimed.

Fang Yan nodded and looked at the fruit tree at the entrance of the breeding house.

"The results are in already?"

"Hmm, maybe those that grow near the entrance of the nursery grow faster."

Mr. Fujino was joking.

Fang Yan laughed, and then he looked around and saw that the other fruit trees along the breeding path had also begun to bear fruit.

Is it due to the wonder of the Pokémon world, or is it because of my own breeding center?

It has only been a little over a month since it was planted, and it has already grown and borne fruit.

It's truly amazing.

Although it's just the most common and ordinary tree fruit, it's already good enough to quench the thirst of passing trainers or other people.

"Where's Shana?"

"Playing with Monini and the others in the backyard."

Fang Yan nodded and then went into the breeding shed.

Miss Skirt and the others ran out of their Poké Balls on their own. Miss Skirt went back behind the counter and continued to serve as the face of the breeding house with Roselia.

The six tails and the others had already run to the backyard.

Da da da da.

"uncle!"

All that could be heard was the sound of small shoes stepping on the floor, and the next second, a small figure rushed into her arms.

Fang Yan bent down and picked him up, asking, "Did you miss your uncle?"

"Um."

Shana was still holding a small shovel in her hand. She had just been shoveling sand to build a sandcastle. When she saw Liuwei running over, she knew Fangyan was back. She didn't even have time to put down the shovel before running over.

"How about we have something delicious to eat tonight?"

"Um!"

Fang Yan gently pinched her nose, put her down, took the water Mrs. Fujino handed him, and drank it all in one gulp.

Then I asked about the situation at the breeding house over the past two days.

Mrs. Fujino told Fang Yan about the rare items they had sold in the past two days, and about a trainer who had come to foster his Pokémon and wanted to get guidance so that his Machamp could learn Burst Punch. She and Mr. Fujino made notes of all this and left his phone number.

Fang Yan took the notebook, looked at it, and nodded.

Well-organized and easy to understand.

Fang Yan discovered that whether it was Xiao Shi, Kojiro, or the Fujino couple, their statistics seemed to be much better than his own.

Mrs. Fujino also mentioned that Officer Jenny delivered some Pokémon eggs early this morning.

After listening, Fang Yan walked towards the hatchery and called out "Gengar." Gengar passed through the wall and shrugged when it saw Fang Yan reaching out to it.

Mrs. Fujino placed the stethoscope in Fang Yan's hand, and Fang Yan then remembered that he had left the stethoscope at the breeding house before leaving.

Fang Yan gave Gengar a smirk.

Then they began inspecting this batch of Pokémon eggs.

There are a total of thirty-five, and there are also some relatively rare Pokémon.

It seems to be a subsidy from the league to itself.

I did a quick check, and everyone is healthy.

This also includes several with good potential.

For example, the one Fang Yan has in her hand right now.

[The Little Cat Monster's Egg] [Hatching Progress: 3/30]

[It seems he inherited some kind of technique from his parents.]

Looking at the description, Fang Yan was overjoyed; it might even fetch a higher price than a regular cat monster egg.

Looking at the incubator again, it seems we need to buy some more incubators.

I took the notebook from Gengar and wrote down what I needed to buy, planning to go to Twinleaf Town to buy it another day when I have time.

Just as Fang Yan was checking what else needed to be purchased for the breeding house, Shana came running over again.

"uncle."

Fang Yan lowered her head. "What's wrong?"

"Can we go to the lake tomorrow?"

Lakeside? Lake District? Why not? The Lake District has two populations, Marill and Golduck, and you don't have to worry about Shana falling into the water or anything.

Mrs. Fujino, who was standing nearby, explained, "The trainer who came to foster her this morning said that Shana is very beautiful, just like Lake Heart, so Shana probably became interested in Lake Heart because of that."

Fang Yan suddenly realized, "Oh, it's Xinqi Lake!"

I remember that the Three Sacred Mushrooms, the god of emotions, lived in Lake Heartqi.

Fang Yan looked at Shana's bright, blinking eyes and laughed.

I glanced at the time; it wasn't too late.

"How about we have dinner at Xinqi Lake tonight?"

Lake Shinki is conveniently located between Futaba Town and Masago Town, and it's not too far from my breeding house.

"How about we go on a picnic? It's just one meal, and the distance isn't far."

As soon as she finished speaking, Shana jumped up happily.

No one else or the Pokémon had any objections.

Acting on impulse is far more effective than long-planned actions.

Tonight we're having hot pot. Miss Gothic took Monini back to the kitchen to prepare the ingredients, and Gengar carried the big pot on his back. Tonight we've decided to use this pot to have a super big hot pot.

Soon the ingredients were ready. After asking the Mariluri and Golda ducks to keep an eye on the breeding house, Fang Yan led them toward Xinqi Lake.

Mominini was overjoyed to see her older sister evolve. She held Gothic's hand the whole way, while Gothic smiled and used her telekinesis to control the ingredients to float in the air.

Shana was led by the Fujino couple, talking incessantly along the way, the bells on her shoulders ringing in response, creating a pleasant sound that filled the air.

Fang Yan, holding his precious daughter's hand, used one hand to push away the large pot in front of him.

You're blocking my way.

Gengar, thinking about the delicious food to come, didn't bother arguing with the dialect. It floated to the front of the group, carrying the big pot on its back. It picked up a stick from the road and told the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles story to the dialect while hitting the weeds on both sides of the road with the stick.

This caused the bug Pokémon inside to keep escaping.

In the end, Gengar simply chose to swat only those grassy areas where Pokémon like Wurmple were hiding.

You monster, eat my Ninja God and Demon - Chaotic Staff Technique!

They soon arrived at Heart Lake and found a relatively open space. Gothic got busy, and Gengar put down the large pot on its back, placed it on the stand that Gothic had set up, and then ran off to find firewood.

Fang Yan, with the help of the Fujino couple, Miss Gothic, and Monini, began preparing the ingredients.

Soon, Gengar returned carrying a large pile of firewood. After watching Fang Yan put the special hot pot base from the breeding house into the firewood, at Fang Yan's command, "Gengar, light it!" an eerie flame instantly flew from its hand, igniting the firewood.

Add water, and when the heat is almost right, Fang Yan put in a large amount of prepared ingredients.

Before long, a fragrance filled the entire Xinqi Lake.

This also attracted many wild Pokémon.

They dared not approach rashly because Gengar and the others had an overwhelming aura.

Fang Yan and the others were not afraid. Just now, Miss Goth had already opened her mental power to monitor every move around them.

It will be the first to detect any threat.

Everyone and the Pokémon were staring intently at the food in the large pot.

A gurgling sound rang out.

The dialect seemed to float up at the sight of the meatballs, and it stretched out its chopsticks.

"Let me test if it's cooked through first."

Then, in front of everyone and the Pokémon, he put the dumpling into his mouth.

He took a bite and it burst open; the scalding juice inside made him gasp for breath.

He swallowed it whole; the spiciness was just right. He looked around at the expectant expressions on his face.

He remained expressionless. "I'll try again; it was too hot just now."

Following the same method, Fang Yan ate five or six meatballs in a row.

Just as he was about to reach out with his chopsticks to pick up the next one, his chopsticks were caught by another pair of chopsticks.

Looking up, he saw Miss Goth staring straight at him.

It turned to look at Gengar, signaling Gengar to give it a try.

Gengar nodded, then picked up a dumpling and, not caring about the heat, popped it directly into its mouth.

"Kou Jie—"

So hot! So delicious!

I knew he was lying to us.

Immediately, everyone and the Pokémon turned to stare at Fang Yan.

Fang Yan noticed the murderous look in the eyes, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and swallowed hard.

A sudden inspiration struck.

"Hurry up and eat! Gengar's almost finished!"

Gengar is secretly eating its second meatball.

"Kou Jie?!∑(A|II)"

I only ate one!

As soon as the dialect was spoken, the other Pokémon and Shana instantly joined the battle.

The war is about to start.

After giving some to the Röntgen Cat and the Rapidash, Fang Yan also joined the battle.

Even the Fujino couple were not immune.

As darkness fell, the area around Xinqi Lake was still filled with laughter and chatter—or perhaps shouting?!

"Gengar, if you take anything from my bowl again, you think I won't beat you up!"

"Kou Jie—"

—

Hehe, who cares about you?

Gengar suddenly threw a piece of meat into its mouth right in front of Fangyan.

They happily chewed on their food.

The better their relationship is in normal times, the fiercer their battles will be at the dinner table.

There's a Pokémon that no one can compete with.

Finally, Fangyan couldn't stand it anymore, so he got a small pot for it to eat in.

Seeing Dali happily taking away half of the food, Fang Yan felt a little tired.

Who could possibly snatch it? It simply broke your chopsticks with its own and then enjoyed the food itself.

Looking at the broken chopsticks scattered on the ground, Fang Yan felt heartbroken.

Hot pot is only fun when everyone's fighting over it.

Fang Yan sat on the grass by Xinqi Lake, reached out and pinched Gengar, who was sitting next to him eating snacks, and thought to himself.

The tidying up was left to Miss Goth and Monini, with the help of the Fujino couple this time, while Fang Yan sat by the lake with Shana.

Fang Yan took off his coat and draped it over Shana to keep her from catching a cold.

I wonder if I'll ever get to meet the legendary god of love, Emrido.

After chatting with Shana for a while, and once everything was tidied up, Fang Yan and the others took the trash they had brought, covered the ashes from their fire with mud, and then headed home.

The next second, Shana turned her head to the center of the lake.

A transparent Pokémon was quietly watching them from the surface of the water.

"What's wrong, Shana—"

Fang Yan also discovered the situation on the lake.

I smiled.

Really? Did my bond with the Pokémon attract it?

With a smile, Fang Yan took Shana's small hand.

"Let's go back."

【Emrido】
