Pokémon: All About the Breeding House

Chapter 233 Winter in the Nursery

After breakfast, Fang Yan dressed Shana warmly, then had her take fresh milk and ride her fiery horse off to learn.

Fang Yan wasn't worried at all that Shana would catch a cold riding her horse to school, since it was a fiery horse, which was naturally capable of providing warmth.

After Shana left, Fang Yan took Gengar and rode on Ninetales' back to go grocery shopping.

"Is it really possible for the first day of snow to be this thick? Or is this a characteristic of the Sinnoh region?"

Fang Yan looked at the ground, which was already quite deep, and asked in confusion.

Gengar floated in the air, shook its head, indicating that it didn't know either.

Ninetales walked in the snow, the snowflakes still falling from the sky, quickly turning Fangyan and Ninetales white, while Gengar stuck out its tongue to catch the falling snowflakes.

Upon arriving in Futaba Town, there were noticeably fewer pedestrians on the streets, as if everyone had been caught off guard by the sudden snowfall.

Fang Yan first went to deliver the pre-ordered fresh milk to each person, and also gave them ginger water that Miss Goth had personally brewed.

"Aunt Lingzi, this is the fresh milk you ordered today, and this is ginger water made at our nursery. It's made with cola and ginger from our nursery. It can help keep you warm. You can try it. This is free. It's snowing, so remember to wear more clothes and keep warm."

Fang Yan took several bottles of fresh milk from Gengar, still warm, and handed them to Aunt Lingzi. Then he took out a bottle of ginger water, gave it to Aunt Lingzi, and said with a smile.

"Oh dear, look how much trouble this is! It's snowing and you still brought it to us personally. Tomorrow you won't need to come all the way to deliver fresh milk; we can just go to the nursery and get it ourselves. With this heavy snow, what if we catch a cold?"

Aunt Lingzi took the ginger water, somewhat moved, and reached out to brush the snowflakes off Fang Yan and Jiuwei before speaking.

Fang Yan then gave an even bigger smile. "It's alright, Aunt Lingzi. Nine-Tails is here, so don't worry. Just order fresh milk, herbal tea, or other things from our nursery. We promise to deliver them to your door. Or has Aunt Lingzi already found another nursery outside?"

Fang Yan laughed and joked.

"You little brat, you're asking for it."

Aunt Lingzi rolled her eyes at Fang Yan and lightly slapped him. "I'm just worried that you're working too hard."

Fang Yan sat on Ninetales' back, his smile unchanged, and said, "Don't worry, Aunt Lingzi, the breeding center not only wants the Pokémon to be happy, but also wants you to be happy."

Then, riding the nine-tailed fox, he headed to the next house.

Aunt Lingzi watched Fang Yan's retreating figure, feeling the scalding ginger water in her hand. It was still so hot, even though she had come all the way from the breeding house.

This clearly shows the care and effort put into the dialect.

The shop manager, who speaks in dialect, is as good as ever.

Fang Yan sat on the back of the Nine-Tailed Fox. The Nine-Tailed Fox was warm, so Fang Yan also felt warm, which helped to ward off the cold brought by the snowy day.

After delivering fresh milk and ginger tea to the grandparents, uncles, aunts, or other elderly people in Futaba Town who were all alone and feeling lonely, Fang Yan went to the shop. He had originally planned to have Miss Gothic and the others close the shop and reopen it after the heavy snow stopped so they could go back to the breeding house together.

But then he discovered that several children were already studying or playing in the small house next to the shop. Fang Yan smiled knowingly, told Miss Goth to come home early that night so they could have hot pot together, and then took Ninetales and Gengar to the market to buy groceries.

Seeing that Fang Yan had spent a lot of money on seasonings, I had a thought: could I grow some seasonings myself? I can grow chili peppers in my nursery, but what about other things, like Sichuan peppercorns?

Today, Grandpa and Grandma Muzhi's seed shop was closed, so Fangyan had to go back to the nursery first.

Back at the breeding house, Fang Yan went to the backyard to check on the health of the Pokémon that were being fostered there, and asked them if they needed to be moved to a different place.

The bandana-wearing thug who was fostered here to learn the Dragon Dance has almost mastered it. It says it's used to this kind of snowy weather, since it snows in the Unova region too.

The other Pokémon fostered here, such as Empoleon, Beedrill, and Bellossom, have all found their own places.

For example, the beautiful flower lives in the flowerbed in the garden. Thanks to the blessings of the rabbi and Lugia, the flowerbed is quite warm, so the beautiful flower likes to stay there.

The bee has moved into the greenhouse and is living on the fruit trees.

Emperor Naboo said that this temperature was nothing, after all, it had the noble water-steel properties, just like Golduck and Marill who lived in the Lake District.

The lake area in the breeding center remains calm and peaceful. Thanks to a blessing, it does not freeze, which makes many Pokémon that like to live in lakes happy, as they do not have to migrate.

The big milk pot and the riding goat had arrived at the planting area long ago. The greenhouse area that the dialect had reserved for them was still growing, lush and green. Influenced by accelerated growth and other blessings, the grass in that area would grow rapidly while maintaining its tender texture and color.

I asked the big milk tankers, and they said they had enough to get them through the winter.

Considering the several large milk cans he had ordered a few days ago, Fang Yan inquired again and was told that even if he received ten more large milk cans, it would be enough to feed him. Satisfied, Fang Yan left and went to the swing tree. He swept the snow off the wooden box, opened it, and found that there were very few things inside.

Fang Yan took them all out, and then opened the other boxes, taking them all out in the same way.

Looking at the backyard, which wasn't as lively as usual, it was clear that because of the snow, almost all the forest Pokémon had run back into the forest, with only a very small number coming to the breeding house to play during the day.

It's estimated that in a few days, these few forest Pokémon will also choose to stay in the forest for the winter.

I wonder how they are doing.

Fang Yan decided to go to the forest in a couple of days.

After all, he was a forest ranger, and with winter approaching, he should go out on patrol to prevent any accidents or help Pokémon in case they encountered anything due to the heavy snow.

I wonder what that hot spring is like, and whether it's still open for bathing. If it is, soaking in a hot spring in the dead of winter would be a very comfortable experience.

After inspecting the entire backyard, checking the condition of the Pokémon in the breeding house, and ruling out any potential dangers caused by the snow, Fang Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he took Gengar and Ninetales back to the rest area.

No guests came until after lunch, and until Shana and Miss Goth returned in the afternoon.

Even Monini's dining hall had very few customers, which caused Monini to return to the nursery dejectedly, where Fang Yan hugged and comforted it.
