Pokémon: All About the Breeding House

Chapter 195 The Rumors of the Curse, an Old Friend

Zhensha Town.

On a bustling street, a stray cat was rummaging through a trash can when it suddenly felt the temperature drop significantly. Its fur trembled, and it stared ahead in terror.

A figure floated in the air, its scarlet eyes revealing black vertical pupils.

Its mouth looked like it was zipped up with a yellow zipper, and it was looking at this cat.

Meow dropped the food in its hand and ran away.

The figure in the alley watched the cat flee in panic, hiding in the shadows, its gaze fixed on the distance.

Then it disappeared.

At this moment, the dialect is beginning a new and beautiful day.

The work in the backyard has been completely handed over to Shinji, and the shop in Twinleaf Town is handled by Gothic and the others. All she needs to do is lie in her old chair, watch cartoons with Gengar, and quietly wait for the customers to arrive.

Everything was calm all morning, until around noon when Dr. Yamanashi called.

"Hey, Fangyan."

Dr. Yamanashi's voice came through the phone, getting straight to the point.

Have you seen any strange paranormal phenomena where you are lately?

Fang Yan was taken aback.

What are paranormal phenomena?

Specifically—

"In the past few days, people in Sandstone Town have been experiencing inexplicable power outages, or they've caught a cold and fever after feeling a chill. This morning, the power at the research institute also went out for no apparent reason. I suspect it's the work of some ghost Pokémon."

Dr. Yamanashi shared his guess, "Fortunately, it's probably just passing through. That's why I called you to let you know to be careful. It might head in your direction or towards Futaba Town."

"A Ghost-type Pokémon?"

Fang Yan nodded, then continued, "Okay, Professor Yamanashi, I'll have Gengar keep an eye out. If I find out what Pokémon it is, I'll report to you and see if we can figure out its purpose. After that, I'll inform Officer Jenny and the others in Twinleaf Town to take precautions."

Dr. Yamanashi nodded and then hung up the phone.

Fang Yan kept guessing what kind of Ghost-type Pokémon it was, mainly because most Ghost-type Pokémon are capable of creating supernatural phenomena, making it difficult to guess in a short time.

"Gengar, go and call Misdreavus over here too."

Gengar nodded and then floated out of the backyard.

Ever since Misdreavus became friends with Gengar, it has always followed behind Gengar. Sometimes, when Gengar is not in the backyard, it goes around playing pranks on its own.

However, they often get a lesson for it.

Soon, Misdreavus returned following Gengar. Fang Yan looked at them and briefly told them what Professor Yamanashi had told him earlier, instructing them to be vigilant around the breeding house for the next few days and to report any unusual activity to him immediately.

It shouldn't be too difficult for Ghost-type Pokémon to find their own Ghost-type counterparts.

Gengar and Misdreavus nodded.

Although Misdreavus is playful, just like Gengar, it will still complete the tasks assigned by Fangyan very seriously.

After explaining the situation to Gengar and Misdreavus, Fang Yan called Officer Jenny and Nurse Joy to inform them of the matter.

Xia Lan left a few days ago because of work.

Fang Yan knew that Xia Lan had been exhausted during this time, so he would make her more delicious food next time she came to make up for it.

After giving the notification, Fang Yan lay back in the armchair and stroked his little fish.

Gengar had just popped a candy into its mouth when it floated up and looked at the ceiling.

Seemingly having discovered something, they walked straight through the ceiling.

The dream demon also returned from the backyard.

Follow behind Gengar.

I have some doubts about the dialect.

No way? They just said they'd come?

Gengar peered through the ceiling and discovered a Pokémon that looked like a rag doll, hiding inside, seemingly surprised that Gengar had been able to find it.

"Kou Jie?!"

What are you doing here?

Gengar's eyes were filled with vigilance, and it began to gather Ghost-type energy in its hands, gradually forming a Shadow Ball.

"Hello?"

Are you his ace Pokémon?

Upon hearing the Pokémon's question, Gengar's hostility vanished instantly.

It recognized the tone of Nine-Tailed Fox's voice when it spoke to Kangaskhan before.

"Kou Jie?"

Are you also going home to visit your family?

Gengar grinned, revealing a friendly smile.

The Pokémon nodded slightly.

At this moment, Misdreavus came up behind Gengar and asked a question in a weak voice.

Boss, who is this?

"Kou Jie"

senior.

After saying that, Gengar passed through the ceiling and returned to Fangyan's side, gesturing for Fangyan to look at the ceiling.

Fang Yan looked up and saw that it was a cursed doll.

So it was a cursed doll, a legendary abandoned doll that became a Pokémon out of resentment.

No wonder some people get fevers for no reason; it must be caused by the resentment emanating from the cursed doll.

Just as I was about to ask why the cursed doll had come, its introduction popped up the next second.

【Cursed Doll】

Gender: Male

[Attribute: Ghost]

【Characteristic: Perception】

[Mastered Techniques: Shadow of the Night, Resentment, Will-o'-the-Wisp, Shadow Ambush, Misfortune Comes Alone, Spell, Shadow Ball, Spirit Strike, Spirit Taunt, Strange Light, Slam Down, Vengeance, Trick. Shifting Flowers and Grafting Trees, Taunt, Shadow Claw, Evil Pulse, Electromagnetic Wave, Thunder, Trick Space, Abyssal Thrust]

[Mood: Happy]

[Friendship Level: 90 (You are her descendant)]

[Introduction: An abandoned rag doll, driven by a chance resentment, becomes a Pokémon. After becoming a Pokémon, it begins causing mischief and chaos everywhere, until it meets its great-aunt. The great-aunt opens her arms to it, purifies its resentment, and then takes it back to the nursery, making it a member of the nursery. Now, learning from Ninetales that the nursery has reopened and its heir is her descendant, it travels across mountains and rivers to return home—to visit.]

The first thing that impressed me about the dialect was its mastery of techniques.

What a powerful cursed doll! It's probably about as powerful as the Nine-Tails, right?

Then he looked at the introduction.

Is this yet another senior colleague returning home for a visit?

Fang Yan stood up and smiled at the cursed doll.

"Welcome back, Cursed Doll. My name is Fang Yan. I am her descendant and the current owner of this breeding house."

""

The cursed doll stared at Fang Yan, and seemed to see a familiar face on his face.

The cursed doll laughed.

"Hello~"

Hello there.

After Fang Yan introduced Gengar, Miss Skirt, and the others to the Cursed Doll, it told Fang Yan to go back and get some rest.

Then let Gengar take you on a tour of the nursery's backyard again.

Gengar made a gesture towards the dialect, then happily passed through the wall and headed to the backyard.

Fang Yan watched the cursed doll turn and leave. He had just lain down when he got up from the chair again. The elders had gone home; they would have a big meal tonight.

The cursed doll followed Gengar and Misdreavus into the backyard, only to find that it was no longer the backyard it remembered.

The backyard used to be filled with Pokémon playing and frolicking, but now it's much more clearly defined, with each area meticulously planned and many new facilities added.

After glancing at Shinji who was practicing with Pokémon, Cursed Doll nodded and continued to follow Gengar, flying towards the forest area.

"Hello?"

Why were the guardrails removed here?

"Kou Jie Yi"

Because the breeding center and the forest have become very good friends, there is no longer a need for fences. Pokémon from the breeding center can go to the forest if they want to, and Pokémon from the forest can come to the breeding center if they want to.

"Hello?"

friend?

Gengar told the Cursed Doll what had happened, and the Cursed Doll nodded repeatedly after listening.

"Hello."

It turned out to be the case.

"Compare?"

The Queen Bee flew over, glanced at the cursed doll, and asked a question in confusion.

"口桀"

The elders of our breeding house.

The Queen Bee looked at the cursed doll and greeted it in a friendly manner.

After saying goodbye to the Queen Bee, Cursed Doll followed Gengar back to the nursery.

Fang Yan was sitting in a chair talking on the phone with Dr. Yamanashi.

"You mean it was caused by a cursed doll?"

"Dr. Yamanashi asked on the screen."

The power of the Cursed Doll comes from the curse itself, so if it is this Pokémon, then it does correspond.

"But what was it doing at the nursery? Was there something wrong?"

Fang Yan glanced at the Gengar and Cursed Doll that came out from behind the counter and said, "Actually, it was my great-aunt's companion back then. It's back this time—to visit relatives, right?"

Dr. Yamanashi nodded. "I see. That's good. Then let's leave it at that. I'll explain to Officer Jenny and the others later. I'll also need you to explain things to Twinleaf Town."

Fang Yan hummed in agreement, then hung up the phone and called Ms. Officer Jenny and Ms. Joey in Shuangye Town respectively, explaining the situation to them.

After hanging up the phone, Fang Yan looked at the cursed doll and said with a smile, "If you're not in a hurry to leave, why don't you stay for dinner?"

The cursed doll looked at Fang Yan and nodded gently.

Fang Yan stood up from the chair, twisted his waist, and then walked towards the kitchen.

Shinji came to the kitchen and asked about the cursed doll.

"You mean this? I took over this nursery from my great-aunt, so her family and friends often come back to visit after they find out I've reopened it. Just treat it like an elder in our nursery."

Fang Yan put on an apron and explained.

Shinji nodded and asked Fang Yan if he needed any help.

Fang Yan shook his head and asked Miss Qun'er to call back Monini from next door.

Gengar can just stay with Cursed Doll; I and Monini will take care of dinner tonight.

Just as Fang Yan was tying an apron on Monini, another message popped up.

A visitor from the sea: A guest has arrived at the port of Futaba Town; perhaps you could go and see him.

Fang Yan paused for a moment, "Visitors from the sea?"

Could it be Lugia? No way, if it were Lugia, it would have come straight to the nursery to find me.

Fang Yan pondered for a moment but couldn't come up with a solution. He glanced at the time and realized that if he went, he would make it in time.

After telling Monini, I took off my apron and went outside.
