Pokémon: All About the Breeding House

Chapter 194 Shinji: Thank you for your hard work (5k)

The next morning, Shinji came out of his room. Yesterday, he decided to stay at the breeding center for a while and learn from Fangyan how to handle his relationship with Pokémon.

As soon as he went downstairs, he found that Fang Yan had already gotten up and was helping Miss Goth and the others with their tasks. The whole kitchen was bustling with activity.

"Good morning, Shinji. You're up so early. Come and have breakfast."

Fang Yan sat down next to Shana and gestured for Shinji to come and have breakfast.

Shinji nodded, sat down at the counter, and then Monini brought breakfast to his side and put it down.

"Monini~"

enjoy your meal.

"Thanks."

Shinji said something.

Monini smiled sweetly, then ran back to Shana and sat down to enjoy her breakfast.

Good morning, Shinji-nii.

"Lingling~"

Shana greeted Shinji sweetly from across the table.

Shinji also responded.

After breakfast, Shana followed behind Miss Goth and the others, carrying the fresh milk that Fang Yan had squeezed that morning, and went to school.

After finishing breakfast, Fang Yan took Shinji to the backyard and showed him the Pokémon that the guests were keeping there.

"Trainers usually board their Pokémon at the breeding center, and our job is to take good care of these Pokémon and look after their emotions."

Fang Yan led Shinji to a master itachi and asked itachi to demonstrate his unique skills. After the master performed the moves, Fang Yan clapped his hands, praised it, and then took out a pen to write that the body had recovered very well.

"This Master Weasel suffered some psychological trauma, so its trainer fostered it in the nursery. With the help of Dali and the others, its mental health is now very good. It has learned to use kung fu to vent its emotions, and its originally somewhat stiff body has become healthier and stronger through constant practice with Dali and the others."

He spoke in dialect while taking notes, and Shinji listened quietly beside him.

"Actually, Pokémon are just like us humans. Some of them are small and need us to coax and care for them, while some of them are big and are like our own family members. As long as we show them our true feelings, they will also show us their true feelings."

Fangyan bumped fists with Master Weasel, then let it continue sparring with Dali. Master Weasel nodded, looking like a hermit master. Seeing Dali and the others patrolling the backyard, it trotted over and followed behind them.

Next, Fang Yan led him to a spiky snake and carefully examined its teeth and tail. The venom was in good condition and plentiful.

The katana was lying lazily among a group of katana. It loved being with its companions. These katana, who had been brought back by Fang Yan after a conflict with the meerkat cutter, also loved their friend and helped train it every day.

After checking on all the remaining Pokémon being fostered there, Fang Yan handed the notebook to Shinji and led him through the forest area to the junction of the forest entrance and the backyard of the breeding house. After checking on the condition of a Sceptile that liked to stay in the forest, Fang Yan led the Sceptile and Shinji back to the backyard.

"Aren't you curious why there are so many wild Pokémon in the backyard of my breeding center?"

Shinji nodded.

Fang Yan smiled and said, "Once, the forest was destroyed by Pokémon hunters, and I helped them with Gengar and the others, saving the entire forest. So the breeding center and the forest became best friends, and these wild Pokémon all came from the forest."

Arriving at the swing tree, the Lizard King leaped up to the tree and enjoyed the view with the Starhawk, who liked to preen its feathers in the tree.

Shinji also spotted Staraptor, which nodded in acknowledgment to its former trainer.

Fang Yan led Shinji to several large wooden boxes under the tree, saying, "Look, these are the gifts they bring me every day."

Shinji stared blankly at the nearly full wooden crate.

The wooden box didn't contain anything particularly expensive; it was mostly filled with common tree fruits and mushrooms, but it gave Shinji a very different feeling.

"That's why I say Pokémon are very simple creatures."

Fang Yan asked Gengar to take the contents of the box out, then called out to the surrounding Pokémon, who distributed most of the items, leaving the rest for Gengar to take back to the kitchen.

A Pachirisu jumped onto Shinji's shoulder, staring at Shinji's dead fish eyes.

Patchlitz: What's wrong with this guy? He's so fierce.

After thinking for a moment, it still shared the fruit it had with him.

Shinji accepted the fruit and thanked him.

As expected of you, the breeding house can't lose Pachirisu, just like dialects can't lose Cabbage Sister (crossed out).

Patchlitz skillfully dodged Fang Yan's outstretched claws, moved to Shinji's other shoulder, and began to gnaw on a berry with puffed-out cheeks.

Her expression remained as adorably blank as ever.

Seeing that Pachirisu skillfully dodged his hand, Fang Yan silently withdrew his hand and walked towards Shinji's Pokémon.

Shinji's Pokémon lineup is not yet finalized, Fang Yan observed as he looked at Shinji's team.

Electabuzz, Nidoking, Chip 'n Dale, Magmar, Ursaring, and Ironhide.

The powerful Earth Platform Turtle was not seen.

Fang Yan remembers that Shinji had a very powerful Torterra, which later taught Ash's Torterra.

Fang Yan skillfully took the brush and began brushing the metal shell on Kodora's back.

And the circly bears, Fang Yan gave them a good bath with a water hose.

Watching the Electabuzz, covered in foam, dodging the jets of water from the pipes while laughing in their dialect, and listening to their joyful cries.

Shinji felt something had touched him.

Fang Yan glanced at the chubby purple boy who had blended in, and used a feint to spread the water jet from Adolphin to Gengar in an instant.

Gengar let out a yelp, then stuck out its tongue, pretending to have been shot and lying on the ground.

Fang Yan pressed down on the front end of the water pipe, continuously spewing water, and then slowly walked to Shinji's side, handing the water pipe to him.

Shinji hesitated for a moment, then took the hose.

The Electabuzz and the others were taken aback.

When they felt the water jets spraying towards them, they looked at each other and then burst into even happier cries.

King Nido was overjoyed and stomped his foot hard on the ground.

A crack appeared in the ground instantly.

By the time Nidoking realized what was happening, there wasn't a single Pokémon around it.

No, there are.

Mighty, Second Power, Third Power, Miss Skirt, Starhawk, Queen Bee, Poison Rose, Roentgen Cat —

Nidoking, under Electabuzz's watchful gaze, was pulled into training by Mighty and the others.

After tidying up the ground, Fang Yan looked at Shinji, who had placed the water pipe on the ground, and smiled.

It looks like things have changed.

After finishing their business in the backyard, Fang Yan led Shinji back to the front and took a look at the dining hall.

A few scattered guests were eating in the dining hall, while others were simply sitting and resting.

The canteen always welcomes travelers to come in and rest. Even if they don't eat, Kairos and the others will offer them a cup of hot water, free of charge.

This also made the restaurant run by Monini have an unbeatable reputation among trainers in Twinleaf Town and Sandstone Town.

The food is good, the atmosphere is good, and the people and Pokémon are good too.

After showing Shinji around the breeding center and explaining his duties, Fang Yan returned to the rest area and lay down on the armchair.

While watching cartoons with Gengar, Miss Skirt, and Roselia, Vulpix ran off to play with Cthulhu and the others.

It seems to really like Shinji's Pokémon.

Seeing this, Shinji told Fang Yan and then returned to the backyard.

He wanted to figure out on his own how to get along better with Pokémon.

While Fang Yan was watching cartoons with Gengar and the others, a girl in a school uniform walked in.

"Hello, how can I help you?"

"Are you the store manager?"

Before he could finish speaking in his dialect, he was cut off by the girl's words.

Fang Yan nodded, and was about to speak when he heard the girl continue, "Hello, shopkeeper, my name is A-Lian. I heard that there's a very powerful animal breeding farm on the Path of Breeding, and that you can get guidance from them if you come to challenge them, so I'd like to come and give it a try. Thank you!"

The girl bowed deeply.

dialect:----

They're here to challenge the breeding house again.

Fang Yan glanced at the Pokémon still in the breeding house and was just about to think about who to send when he suddenly remembered that there was Shinji in the backyard.

"Shinji."

He shouted in dialect.

Shinji quickly emerged from behind the counter.

"Store Manager."

Fang Yan glanced at Shinji and couldn't help but nod.

"Shinji, this is Ren, who has come to challenge the nursery. I plan to have you represent the nursery in this battle."

Shinji looked puzzled. What did that mean? A challenge to the breeding center?

Fang Yan explained to him, "I don't know when it started, but a rumor has been circulating that the Path of Breeding, like the Path of Champions, has a powerful breeding house. If you think you're strong enough, you might as well challenge the breeding house, and things like that."

Fang Yan sighed, "So every now and then some trainers come to challenge us, although no one has succeeded yet. Since you're here today, you can represent the breeding center in the challenge."

Before Shinji could speak, the girl began, "But I'm here to challenge the animal nursery—"

Fang Yan smiled at her and said, "He's also part of our breeding farm, and a student I value highly. He's a seeded player for the league tournament. If you want to continue challenging him after your match, I'll fight you again, okay?"

The girl thought for a moment and nodded.

"Okay, if that's the rule of the nursery, then I'll abide by it."

Fang Yan looked at Shinji, who squinted at the girl with dead fish eyes and then nodded.

Upon arriving at an open space, a familiar face from the cafeteria, seeing Fang Yan bring his Pokémon to the usual battleground, seemed to remember something and asked, "Manager Fang Yan, has someone come to challenge the Breeding House again?"

Fang Yan smiled and nodded. Upon seeing this, those eating quickly finished their meals, while those resting also gathered around.

"Great, we can see another battle against the breeding center."

Some people passing by for the first time didn't know what it meant, so they asked around. After some people who frequently walked this breeding route explained the breeding route and the breeding house, they suddenly understood.

That's it!

At this moment, Shinji and Ren stood on either side.

"Isn't the manager from the dialect shop making a move today?"

Someone asked in confusion.

Fang Yan shook his head.

"Is that the shopkeeper's student, who speaks in dialect?"

Fang Yan nodded.

Shinji has been learning from me, so it's not unreasonable for him to call himself my student, right?

Moreover, he himself has the strength of a seeded player in the league's major tournaments.

Not to mention that later, when that silly guy was preparing to compete in the Masters Battle, he specially trained a team of Masters ace Pokémon to train Ash in battle.

"Then the refereeing is up to you, Gengar."

Gengar appeared in front of Fangyan, with a whistle around its neck, a referee's hat, and two flags in its hands.

The dialect has become so ingrained that it refers to that small section as the neck.

"Where did you get this from?"

Fang Yan looked at Gengar's professional attire and was speechless.

"Kou Jie," I bought it!

Gengar proudly raised its head, responded, and then went to the center of the field.

The flag was raised.

"Kou Jie—"

'

The battle will now begin. The rules are as follows:

Gengar was a little embarrassed and forgot his lines.

He remained silent, mimicking the local dialect, and wiped his forehead as if nothing was wrong.

Then the flag was chopped down.

Never mind, let's get started.

Aren and Shinji simultaneously threw out a Poké Ball, and a red light flashed.

A Growlithe and a Magmar appeared on the field at the same time.

Taking the initiative, A-Lian had Arcanine use its Rampage attack.

Shinji remained calm and had Magmar use Protect. As Arcanine collided with the protective shield and generated a recoil, Shinji recalled Magmar.

"Shin—you've had a hard time. Go now, Nidoking."

The platypus stared at Shinji in shock.

Fang Yan also looked shocked.

Although saying "Thank you for your hard work" is a bit inappropriate now, it seems to have a surprisingly good effect when it comes from Shinji's mouth.

The Duckbill Firebeast was recalled in shock, and then Nidoking was summoned. Although it had been dragged away for training by the others and still had some wounds on its body, it seemed to sense something and was unusually excited.

The moment it landed, it let out an excited roar.

Even though it was threatened by Arcanine, it was still full of fighting spirit!

Arcanine couldn't help but take a step back.

"The Power of the Earth!"

A-Lian reacted quickly, telling Arcanine to dodge, but Arcanine was stunned by Nidoking's wounded but high-spirited state and didn't react in time. Just as it was about to dodge, the power of the earth completely enveloped it.

The Growlithe lay on the ground, its eyes turning into mosquito coils.

A-Lian recalled Arcanine, and seeing Nidoking pounding its chest, decisively sent out Breloom.

"Puffball mushroom, seed bomb."

"Hold on."

As the smoke cleared, Nidoking was once again taken back.

"Thank you for your hard work. I'm counting on you from now on, Duckbill Fire Beast."

The Magmar erupted with flames, and a single jet of fire took down the Breloom.

Perhaps because Aren was studying at school and had never traveled, her combat experience was not as rich as Shinji's.

Although she later adopted a rotation system, she was still not as quick and decisive as Shinji in terms of tactical decisiveness.

Of course. There is a significant difference in strength between Pokémon, and they are also facing Shinji, who can say "Thank you for your hard work" and "Please take care of me".

Looking at Shinji's Pokémon, each one incredibly excited and full of fighting spirit, Fang Yan shook his head.

There's no way around it; Shinji's strength is at least three points greater in this state.

Aren withdrew Emperor Naboo, paused for a moment, and finally looked at Shinji.

"You are really strong. I'm glad I could fight you. It made me realize that I still have a lot of room for improvement. I will become stronger and defeat you."

Shinji recalled Electabuzz, recalling the subtle feeling that came from the depths of his heart when he had commanded it and the others.

He casually replied, "Whatever."

Fang Yan and Miss Qun'er's smiles immediately vanished.

As expected of Shinji.

A-Lian didn't mind and went straight to Fang Yan's side. Based on the problems he had noticed, Fang Yan gave her some guidance.

"There's nothing too serious. The main issues are experience and Pokémon training. It's best not to rush things. I noticed Lucario seems to be wearing weights on its legs?"

Fang Yan recalled the battle between A-Lian's Lucario and Shinji's Iron Fist Warrior. It seemed that Lucario's movements were not very agile, and it looked like it had two rings on its feet.

A-Lian nodded. "I saw online that training with weights is more effective."

"And our teachers also agree with my method."

Fang Yan frowned, hesitated for a moment, and finally spoke up: "Weight training is fine, but the most important thing about weight training is gradual progression. I don't know if you noticed, but Lucario didn't dodge many of the moves it could have avoided earlier. This is because it had too much weight on its feet. You put too heavy weight rings on it all at once, which is the wrong method. The right way is to ask it what kind of weight it thinks is more suitable, and then gradually increase it after it gets used to it, instead of adding weight that it can't bear from the beginning. This will not only be ineffective, but will also cause irreparable damage."

After listening, A-Lian nodded repeatedly. "Thank you for your guidance, store manager. I understand. I'll go back and remove the weight rings so it can choose according to its own feeling."

Fang Yan nodded. "Remember to go to the Pokémon Center first to check its ankles, to avoid any damage that may have already occurred."

Ah Lian nodded again and replied with an "okay".

"That's all. Just practice more matches to gain experience, and you'll be fine."

A-Lian bowed deeply.

"Thank you for your guidance, store manager. I will strive to become stronger and come back to take on the challenge again, hoping to succeed."

He laughed heartily in his local dialect.

"Then I'll be waiting for you."

This kind of life seems pretty good?

He runs a breeding center, raises Pokémon, cooks delicious food, and also guides trainers who come to challenge him.

After Ah Lian left, the onlookers were satisfied.

"That was a really exciting battle. It's a pity that people would come to challenge us every day."

"Why don't you come over every day and take the challenge, then show us?"

"The shop manager in the dialect shop is really nice; he even gives guidance."

"Of course, the shopkeeper with the dialect is a universally acknowledged good person in Shuangye Town."

Fang Yan blushed more and more as she listened to Fang Yan, and led Shinji back to the breeding house.

Watching Shinji's figure disappear behind the counter.

Fang Yan couldn't help but laugh.

"Miss Skirt, it seems he has made changes too."

Miss Skirt tilted her head slightly to the side.

"Laji~"

Yes, that's right.

I'm getting more and more excited about his future performances.

Thinking of this, Fang Yan slowly lay down, chewing on the snacks Gengar had given him, listening to Miss Skirt humming a song beside him, and gradually drifted off to sleep.
