Pokémon: All About the Breeding House

Chapter 225 The One-Year Agreement (4k)

After returning from fishing the day before yesterday and eating grilled fish, Karuni and the others rested at the breeding house for two more days before reluctantly leaving.

"Welcome to visit again."

Fang Yan smiled and said to them.

After they left, Fang Yan turned to look at Cynthia standing to the side.

"And you, Miss Zhulan?"

Cynthia shrugged. "I'm not in a hurry. We're all in the Sinnoh region anyway, and there's nothing particularly important for me to deal with lately."

Fang Yan nodded, and then he heard Cynthia continue, "However, I should be leaving tomorrow too. I read some things in a book and I'm planning to go to the ancient ruins to do some excavation. I'll go to the ancient ruins after the summit of scholars ends tomorrow."

When the topic turned to ancient ruins, Cynthia's eyes lit up with anticipation.

If only I could handle Sinnoh affairs with the same sparkle in my eyes as I do now.

That way, Wusong's hair probably wouldn't fall out so quickly.

Fang Yan said to himself.

"The summit is tomorrow, shouldn't we start preparing?"

He asked in a dialect.

Cynthia shook her head. "No need. There's no need for that. I've already researched the topic quite thoroughly and I'm very familiar with it."

As expected of Cynthia, the Sinnoh champion, she's just that confident.

"Shall I make you some small cakes?"

Cynthia's eyes lit up again, then she thought of something, "What if I gain weight?"

"Fat? How could I possibly be fat? I'm not fat at all! The cakes I make are nutritionally balanced, they won't make you fat at all."

A solemn guarantee in dialect.

Cynthia squinted. "Okay."

When Fang Yan took the small cake to the backyard, Cynthia did not choose to sit in the garden, but instead chose to sit on Laplace's back, holding a book in her hands. Roseradore and Miss Skirt were sitting next to her, and a Milotic was resting its head on her lap.

Noticing Fang Yan's arrival, Cynthia looked up at him and the small cake in his hand, smiled sweetly, and then Fang Yan asked Gengar to take the small cake to Cynthia and the others, before taking Ninetales back to the rest area in front of the counter and sitting down.

Unfortunately, Miss Skirt and the others were kidnapped by Cynthia.

Fang Yan, who was reading a book about cultivating knowledge, was startled awake by a phone call.

He threw the book covering his face to the ground and answered the phone.

"According to a local dialect, someone said they saw many meerkats heading towards the breeding house."

Miss Officer Jenny spoke in a great hurry.

"Mongoose slash?"

Fang Yan hadn't quite come to his senses yet, and after a while, he asked, "That mongoose slash from back then?"

"Probably. I don't know what they're planning to do at the breeding center. Keep an eye on things over there, and I'll be there soon."

Before Fang Yan could speak, Ms. Officer Jenny hung up the phone.

Nine-Tails raised its head from the floor, looked at Fang Yan curiously, and yawned.

Nine-Tails is getting more and more sleepy.

The fox gently rested its tail on Fang Yan's body, its eyes filled with confusion.

"call out?"

What's wrong?

"Remember that time we dealt with the fight between the Zangoose Claws and the Scyther? That group of Zangoose Claws was heading towards our breeding center."

Upon hearing this, the Nine-Tailed Fox lay down again.

He squinted and continued sleeping.

I thought it was something serious. If they dared to come any closer, I would send them flying.

Nine-Tailed Fox yawned and continued to warm Fang Yan with its tail, then quietly lay down at Fang Yan's feet and fell asleep.

Fang Yan was both amused and exasperated by the sight. When he passed by Gengar, he only glanced at it, and after learning what had happened, he turned back to watching TV.

Seeing this, Fangyan was also infected by them, and lay on the old chair, covered with the nine tails, feeling warm and cozy.

Wait, where's my book?

Fang Yan searched around and found that the book was being suppressed by the Nine-Tailed Fox.

Forget it, I'm not watching anymore.

Nine-Tails' tail feels so good.

Fang Yan touched the nine-tailed fox's tail covering her; its fur was soft, warm, and comfortable.

It's all Nine-Tails' fault; that's why I've become so sleepy.

As he pondered, Fang Yan's eyes narrowed further.

After a while, the Zangoose Slash team arrived at the entrance of the breeding house. Looking at the breeding house and Fang Yan sleeping inside, a group of Pokémon walked in aggressively.

As soon as the lead Zangoose Slash stepped into the breeding house, the Nine-Tails, which was lying on the ground, suddenly opened its eyes and stared intently at the Zangoose Slash and the others at the door.

"call out."

It emitted bursts of low growls.

If you dare to disturb the dialect, you're dead.

The lead mongoose shuddered suddenly, then spread its arms to block the underlings who wanted to enter the breeding house, while also trying to back away.

Back off! All of you, back off!

Seeing this, Gengar put away its Shadow Ball and floated outside.

"Kou Jie?"

What brings you here?

Just as the leader of the Mongoose Slayers was about to speak, he was drawn to the commotion behind him.

Looking back, I saw that it was Officer Jenny who had arrived on her Growlithe.

Officer Jenny saw the meerkats standing at the entrance of the breeding house, hesitant to go in, and looked puzzled. When she arrived at the door, she found Fang Yan sleeping inside.

Dumbfounding.

I walked into the breeding shed and nudged the dialect.

Fang Yan opened her eyes. "Huh? What's wrong?"

Officer Jenny poked his forehead with her finger. "You're so carefree, you can still sleep so soundly."

Then she pointed to the mongoose slashers outside the door and said, "The mongoose slashers don't dare to come in anymore."

Fang Yan then noticed the mongooses outside the door. He patted the Nine-Tails' head, signaling it to put its tail back, then stood up and walked out of the breeding house.

"What brings you here today?"

Fang Yan looked at the mongoose slashers in front of him and asked.

The leader of the Mongooses stepped forward.

Explain your purpose for coming.

You said last time that when we felt strong enough, we could come and fight the Chespin Serpent. Now that we feel strong enough, we've come.

After hearing the dialect, he remembered that he had said that before.

He originally thought that separating the two groups would solve the problem, but who knew they would be so stubborn and come looking for him on their own.

The situation is a bit difficult.

Or should we let Gengar and the others teach them a lesson?

Fang Yan quickly rejected the idea, saying that since he had made the promise, he should keep it.

At this moment, the Spoon Snakes also came out, and the two groups were on the verge of war as soon as they met.

If it weren't for Gengar's cold warning that they couldn't fight in the nursery, they probably would have already started fighting.

However, their entire bodies were trembling, clearly indicating that they had restrained themselves to the extreme.

"What's wrong?"

Cynthia came out with Garchomp.

Just as the leader of the Mongooses, who was about to start a fight, saw Cynthia, he pushed his underlings back again.

It's her again!

I remember her! Fighting Pokémon hurts so much!

Cynthia seemed to recognize the group of Mongooses as well.

"What do we do now?"

Miss Officer Jenny asked softly beside Fang Yan.

Fang Yan saw that they had reached their limit of patience and knew that if they didn't let them fight first today, things would never end.

However, getting them to fight each other is simply impossible.

Fang Yan glanced at the content being broadcast on TV; it was a TV series about the Donghuang Alliance.

I've got it!

Fang Yan walked up to them, coughed twice, and then said, "I know it would be unacceptable for you if I didn't let you fight first, so I will let you fight."

The moment the dialect was spoken, the two groups rushed over.

Nine-Tailed Fox and Gengar each unleashed a move on their respective groups.

They finally managed to stop with great difficulty.

"If you don't let me finish speaking, I'll beat you to a pulp before you even start fighting."

The dialect was spoken in a cold tone.

Gengar, Mighty, Mighty, Miss Skirt, Roserade, Ninetales, Staraptor, Vileplume, Xeno'jiiva, Gliscor, and Marill all stood beside Fang Yan, staring at the two groups, Zangoose and Seviper.

"Fighting is fine, but you must follow my rules. It's one-on-one. I'll set up a ring for you, and you can send one fighter up to fight each time. We'll be the referees."

"After the one-on-one matches, the side that wins more matches is considered stronger. I know the other side will definitely disagree, but I said, we'll follow my rules. If you disagree, we can become your opponents."

boom!

With a sudden, powerful punch, the second and third forces unleashed a powerful sonic boom.

"At the same time, we cannot use lethal force. We are the referees, and we will decide the winner based on whether the fighters can continue fighting. We guarantee that we will never favor either side."

"Who's in favor? Who's opposed?"

The two groups discussed the matter amongst themselves, and the Spoon Snakes expressed no objection, as they were certain to win, and even achieve a great victory.

Seeing this, Mongoose Slash sneered. Did he really think he was something special?

After both sides agreed, Fang Yan nodded and continued, "I know the loser will definitely be dissatisfied, so I will give you another chance to challenge me. Three years—no, once a year. You can do your best to improve your strength in one year, and then defeat the other in the battle a year later."

"I've made a one-year agreement with you. If the losing side still can't win after a year, then they are truly inferior to the other side. I believe you don't want the people and Pokémon of Twinleaf Town, Sandgum Town, and all the forests to know that you are inferior to the other side, right?"

"A one-year agreement? Any objections? If not, let's begin our battle immediately."

Neither side had any objections and were eager for the battle to begin.

Fang Yan nodded and said, "After you've chosen your order of appearance," before approaching Officer Jenny and Cynthia.

"I originally planned to make a three-year agreement with them, but they are inherently irreconcilable enemies. If we force them to go there even though they know their mortal enemy is there, their emotions will not be able to be expressed, which may cause more serious and unnecessary things."

Fang Yan looked at them and continued, "Given their current situation, unless one side is willing to completely leave this place, maintaining healthy competition is the most important thing for them. That's why I said those things to arouse their competitive spirit. The winner will train even harder to try to win again next year, and the loser will work even harder, vowing to win tomorrow. This way, their energy will be diverted, which will be better."

Fang Yan sighed, "I'll warn them that they can challenge trainers, but they can't hurt them. Trainers will probably see a significant improvement in their strength by having them as sparring partners, right?"

After hearing this, Miss Officer Jenny simply gave up. Sure enough, all she had to do with Fang Yan was give up. Without any hesitation, she went back to the kitchen and found some snacks to eat.

Cynthia also thought Fang Yan's solution was excellent, and chuckled, "As expected of you, Fang Yan, the shop manager."

"Don't call me store manager."

"Then... Uncle?"

Fang Yan's entire face instantly turned "red".

I can't handle it, I absolutely can't handle it.

Such terrifying strength! Sinnoh Champion, Cynthia.

After deciding on the order of appearance, the dialects came to an open space, indicating that they could go on stage.

The area was already surrounded by many spectators.

I was incredibly excited.

Time passed silently, and more and more people gathered around, their cheers growing louder and louder.

In the end, Mongoose Slash narrowly lost to the leader of the Spoon Serpent by a single move. After uttering a harsh remark, he led his Mongoose Slash clan away.

As it passed through the crowd, it heard a lot of applause, which it assumed was for the group of gluttonous snakes. It wasn't until its little brother tugged at it and it looked up that it realized many people were clapping for them.

"Well done, Mongoose Cleave."

"You guys absolutely have to win next year, Mongoose Slash! I believe in you!"

"The Mongoose Slash is so cool, although the Sparrow Serpent is even cooler."

Mongoose Slash: ————

Actually, you didn't have to say that.

Feeling encouraged by the people and Pokémon around him, Zangoose Slash scoffed, wiped his eyes dismissively, and then looked up and left.

We will definitely win next year!

Absolutely!

It was definitely not to live up to their expectations!

Thinking of this, the mongoose leader shouted.

Kids, let's go back and continue training. We'll come back tomorrow and crush them!

Let them kneel before us and sing their battle cry!

The dialect made me cringe.

This meerkat leader looks kind of cute, kind of unruly cute?

The leader of the Snake Spoon, having learned the skills of the Mongoose Slayer, smiled and shouted back loudly.

We'll go back to training and beat them again next year, so everyone and all Pokémon will know that Zangoose is no match for our Seviper!

The mongoose leader stopped and turned to stare intently at the slug leader. Just as Fang Yan thought they were about to fight, he was about to have Gengar stop them.

As a result, the mongoose beheaded the leader and raised one of its claws.

One year.

Let's have another match a year from now.

The leader of the rice spoon snakes slapped the ground with his slap, raising a cloud of dust.

I'm waiting for you here, so don't let me down!

After that, the Mongoose-Slaying Quick left the place, and the Scyther and the others also left and returned to the forest.

As the crowd dispersed, many people made plans to come back next year to watch their battle.

We'll see then which of the two groups will win the second round.

Starting today, the path from breeding Futaba to Masamune will be paved with an annual grand event.

It attracted countless trainers to come and watch.

There is no right or wrong, no life or death.

All that remains is the burning passion that knows no bounds and the intensity of the battle.

As a result, many people would eagerly set out to challenge the Mongoose Cutter and the Spoon Snake clans.

Another major reason is that trainers want to become stronger, and so do the animals; it's a win-win situation.

No one will hurt anyone.
