Pokémon: All About the Breeding House

Chapter 248 I almost forgot I was a forest ranger

Fang Yan sat in the rest area, holding a cup of hot milk, gazing at the snow still falling outside.

"It's snowing again."

Mr. Fujino sat nearby drinking tea and reading the newspaper. When he heard the dialect spoken, he put down the newspaper and looked at the snowflakes falling outside the door.

"We don't know how long this snow will last. Normally, our Futaba Town and Masago Town are places where it rarely snows, while the cities north of Masago Town are cities where it snows more. But this year, our Futaba Town and Masago Town have had more snow, while other cities only had snow for a few days before it stopped."

After a pause, Mr. Fujino continued, "I heard from my former colleagues that the only cities still experiencing snowfall are Futaba Town and Masago Town."

Mrs. Fujino sat to the side knitting sweaters for Mr. Fujino, Fang Yan, and Shana, including some for Gengar and the others. After hearing her husband's words, she didn't look up and continued her needlework, saying, "I don't know if it's because of some special circumstances, but I heard that some people often see giants in Mt. Coronet. I wonder if it's due to that influence."

giant?

Regigigas?

Legendary Pokémon that inhabits Mt. Coronet and can move the entire continent.

That is, the legendary Toilet King.

Excellent base stats distribution meets terrible traits.

However, Tianguan Mountain is quite far from Shuangye Town.

"When I came back from Tianguan Mountain, the snow there wasn't as heavy as here."

Fang Yan took a sip of hot milk and said, "Forget it, let it snow. There's a saying in my hometown: 'A timely snow promises a good harvest.'"

Fang Yan lay back in the old chair, rocking gently. "Usually after it snows, the new year begins smoothly and all your wishes come true."

"A timely snow promises a good harvest? If that's the case, this snow is actually quite good."

Mrs. Fujino bit the thread with her teeth, laughed, and then called out to Gengar.

Gengar rose from its seat and floated to Mrs. Fujino's side. Mrs. Fujino then draped a scarf around Gengar's neck.

Mrs. Fujino searched for a while, then silently draped the scarf over Gengar and had Gengar spin around her.

Gengar happily spun around, and Mrs. Fujino looked at Gengar and its scarf with satisfaction. The scarf was light purple and had a chibi-style picture of Gengar on it, which matched Gengar very well.

"It suits you well, Gengar."

Gengar also really liked the scarf Mrs. Fujino made for it. After happily spinning around a few times, it grinned and thanked Mrs. Fujino.

"Kou Jie"

Thank you!

Gengar then brought the scarf to Fangyan to show it off. Fangyan smiled and praised it a couple of times, and Gengar happily put the scarf away.

"Kou Jie—"

—"

Another scarf~

Fang Yan took out his phone and started scrolling through short videos. He was watching a video about Xiao Ju'er walking the runway when he suddenly heard Mrs. Fujino say, "Fortunately, this snow didn't have much of an impact on the Pokémon in our breeding center. I just wonder how the Pokémon in the forest are doing."

Fang Yan suddenly remembered that he was also a forest ranger.

"I almost forgot I'm a forest ranger."

Fang Yan muttered to himself, then put away his phone, stood up, and said, "It seems like it's been a long time since I've been to the forest. I don't have much to do today, so I'll go to the forest with Gengar and the others."

Upon hearing Fangyan's words, Gengar turned off the TV and floated beside him.

"I'll leave the animal husbandry in your care again."

Fang Yan spoke to the Fujino couple sitting in the rest area, refusing their request to go into the forest with him. After all, although there were no guests at the breeding house in winter, someone still needed to stay there to keep watch.

"Don't worry, shop manager with dialect."

Mr. Fujino nodded, reassuring Fang Yan.

Fang Yan nodded, then took the coat from Gengar, put it on, and headed towards the forest with Gengar, Miss Skirt, Ninetales, and Mighty.

Upon seeing Fang Yan and his group of Pokémon heading towards the forest, Xeno'jiiva, which was resting in a warm place, immediately followed.

It protested against the dialect, saying it was getting bored to death staying in the nursery since the snow started.

In contrast, the Scorpion Kings in the Rocky Zone can fly and roam freely. This morning, the Scorpion King and the Starhawk went off somewhere to kill time, leaving the Scorpion King lying around in the breeding house, bored out of its mind.

Fang Yan burst into laughter upon hearing this, and then took the Röntgen cat with him to stroll through the forest.

Passing through the forest area, I glanced in the direction of the beehive and suddenly remembered a certain arrogant Pokémon, causing a slight smile to appear on my lips.

"Queen Bee"

He shouted in dialect.

Before long, a yellow figure appeared in front of Fang Yan and the others.

"Compare?"

Why did you call me?

Queen Bee saw Gengar, Mighty, Miss Skirt, Ninetales, and Xeno'jiiva standing next to Fang Yan.

Such a big commotion? Are they going to fight again?

Who are you going to hit? Do you need my help?

The queen bee asked Fang Yan with her eyes.

Sensing the emotions conveyed by the Queen Bee, Fang Yan couldn't help but laugh.

"We're not going to fight. We just haven't been to the forest in a long time, and we happen to have some free time today. It's also been quite a few days since the first snowfall, and we're wondering if the Pokémon in the forest are adapting well to this year's sudden heavy snowfall. So we're going to go in and take a look around to see if we need any help."

He explained in dialect, "We just happened to be passing through the forest area, so we were wondering if you wanted to come and take a look together."

Thinking of this, Fang Yan said sincerely, "After all, we don't know what might happen inside. If the Queen Bee is here, she can protect me, and I won't be so worried."

If Cynthia, Xia Lan, Officer Jenny, and Nurse Joy were here, they would all roll their eyes at Fang Yan without hesitation upon hearing his words.

Protect me too~

With Gengar and the others around, it's like they're not even there, right?

Upon hearing Fang Yan's words, the Queen Bee's wingbeats became somewhat chaotic for a moment before she regained her composure. Suppressing her emotions, the Queen Bee looked at Fang Yan with suspicion.

Gengar, aren't Miss Skirt and the others enough to protect you?

Fine, since you're so weak.

I, the Queen, will reluctantly stay by your side and protect you.

The Queen Bee proudly raised her head, stared at Fang Yan, and then nodded aloofly.

Upon seeing this, Fang Yan couldn't help but smile.

"Thank you very much, Queen Bee."

After speaking in dialect, he turned towards the forest and said, "Everyone, let's set off."

After saying that, he led the way inside.

The Pokémon behind him, each one proud and spirited, followed Fang Yan.

Gengar, in particular, walked with an airborne gait that seemed to defy all family.

With his mouth crooked, he gave off the vibe of a king entering a village.
