Pokémon: All About the Breeding House

Chapter 265: I'm already looking forward to spring!

After preparing a large amount of delicious food and desserts for Officer Jenny to take away, Fang Yan returned to the breeding house, put the batch of Pokémon eggs away, adjusted the temperature of the incubator, and then lay down in the rest area of the breeding house.

Then he took the seed that Officer Jenny had brought from Gengar.

They examined it carefully.

I looked at it for a long time before handing it back to Gengar.

Fang Yan gently rocked back and forth in his chair. "Gengar is already looking forward to spring."

"Kou Jie?"

Fang Yan chuckled softly, "When spring arrives, we can plant all these seeds. Then there will be more fruit to eat, which we can use to make more delicious foods and desserts. Most importantly, if our nursery can grow tea leaves, I'll never lack tea leaves to make tea again."

Fang Yan said to himself, "After spring comes, the business of the breeding center might recover, and the Pokémon eggs in the hatchery can be sold. Then we'll have money to continue improving our breeding center, and maybe we'll even have a chance to go on a trip together, taking everyone from the breeding center and the Pokémon with us, to rest for a few days and go on a trip."

"Then we can have a picnic on a meadow full of wildflowers, and count the stars by a lake filled with fireflies —"

Gengar listened quietly and attentively.

"call out."

Nine-Tailed Fox gently covered Fang Yan's body with its tail. Fang Yan smiled and reached out to rub its squinting fox head.

"Kou Jie~"

I'm really looking forward to it.

"Right? I'm really looking forward to it too. I'm really looking forward to the future with you all."

Fang Yan gently lay back on the old chair, his hand constantly stroking the soft, warm tail of the nine-tailed fox.

After a while, Fang Yan took out his phone and sent two messages to Du.

Dialect: Thanks.

Crossing: ?

Dialect: Thank you for entrusting me with the Mini Dragon egg.

Watari: Oh, you mean that? I happened to be there at the time, so I mentioned it to them.

Watari: Actually, they originally intended to hand it over to you; I just hastened their decision.

Dialect: After all, you are the Dragon King.

Wataru: Just thinking about it gives me a headache. Everyone outside says I'm the Flying-type Elite Four member. The other day when I met with Michael, he even said I was the Flying-type Elite Four member too, and that I was—

Dialect: Dodo bird?

Watari: How did you know?! You saw Michael too? Wait a minute, I just mentioned you to him a few days ago?

Dialect: It really is a dodo bird?

Watari: How about we practice next time?

Dialect: [Image.]

Du opened the picture and took a look, and found that it was a chat history between Fang Yan and Cynthia.

Dialect: Du Tianwang said he wanted to fight me and practice with me using his trump card.

Cynthia: ?

Cynthia: [Garuda rubbing its scythe.jpg]

Cynthia: Tell him to come find me. I've been itching to do something lately.

Watari: ?!

Du: No.

Lance: [Dragonite is speechless.]

Dialect: I've found you a worthy opponent, isn't that great?

Watari: Should I thank you again?

Dialect: Oh, what's our relationship? Why are you being so polite?

Crossing: ————

Watari: Once I'm done with my work, I'll go and challenge the champion of Chikuran to a match.

Watari: I've been doing nothing for a while, and I feel like I've become a bit rusty when it comes to battles.

Lance: Steven can't find anyone else, Wallace is obsessed with Contests all day, Champion Alder has been in some trouble lately, Champion Karune is obsessed with acting, I'm not used to Dynamaxing with Leon, there's no Champion in the Alola region, and Padia is too far away. After thinking about it, only Cynthia Champion has some free time.

Dialect: You can ask the Heavenly King Shiba and the others.

Watari: Never mind, they're all people who like to fight in the wild.

Dialect: Since you have nothing to do, why don't you come and work for me? Food and lodging are included, and you'll get a salary.

Watari: You're going to have a champion work for you?!

Dialect: Is there any reason why not? [Gengar winks.]

Watari: Goodbye.

After saying that, Dudu's avatar went dark, and Fang Yan couldn't help but laugh, "You little bastard, Dudu!"

Dialect: Don't go yet, what do you mean by mentioning me to Champion Mike?

Dialect: Are you still there?

Dialect: I've prepared some delicious food to send to you.

Watari: Really? What is it? A dessert? I heard recently that the desserts at your petting farm are really delicious.

dialect:----

Dialect: Guess? [Miss Gothic smiles.]

Lance: I was suddenly busy with something. When I found Wallace, he had just finished a Grand Contest. He learned from the champion of that Grand Contest that a breeding shop owner had taught him how to develop the unique charm of Pokémon.

Watari: Just then, he showed me a photo, and I remembered that it was a girl you had mentored at the breeding center.

Du: I think her name is An Zi, and that's when I mentioned you to him.

Watari: Michael seems very interested in what you said and is planning to visit you at the breeding center around this time to ask for your opinion on the Grand Contest.

As Fang Yan looked at Du's message, an elegant man with long hair instantly came to mind.

Mikoli? Intrigued by what I said? Want to come visit me? And ask for my opinion on the Grand Contest?

Fang Yan looked up at Gengar and the Pokémon coming and going.

That's right, I'm the owner of the breeding center, and I also own a few small shops. I can barely be considered to have entered the food and beverage industry. Why would the league champion want to come and ask me for advice?

Dialect: I'm just the owner of a petting zoo —

Lance: [Gengar winks.]

Dialect: You stole my picture?

Du: I don't understand what you're saying.

Dialect: You thick-browed, big-eyed dodo bird!

Watari: If you call me that again, we're breaking up!

Dialect: Send me the address, do you still want to eat?

Watari: Just kidding, how could we possibly break up, right?

Crossing: A long string of addresses.

Dialect: Bowing first and then being obsequious, it's laughable to think about.

Lance: [Gengar winks.]

Dialect: There's too much. Remember to pay the postage upon delivery. Part of it is for the Dragonite and the others, so don't give it to them.

Du: OK.

Then the profile picture went dark at lightning speed.

After ending his conversation with Watari, Fang Yan opened Cynthia's chat window.

Dialect: I never expected Du to be such a fickle man.

Cynthia: Oh? [Tokis tilts his head.]

Dialect: What an adorable Pokémon, just like Miss Cynthia.

Cynthia's ears turned red. She looked up and glanced around, finding no one nearby. Then she lowered her head and quickly typed on the keyboard.

Cynthia: Am I prettier or Togekiss?

Dialect: Shirona.

Cynthia: Is Cynthia prettier or Blossom prettier?

Dialect: They all look good!

Dialect: You think you can fool me? No way.

Cynthia: Is Cynthia prettier or Garchomp prettier?

Dialect: Shirona.

Cynthia: [Video]

When Fang Yan clicked on the video, he saw Garchomp constantly wiping its scythe and looking at the camera with a friendly expression.

"Gengar—Gengar."

"Kou Jie?"

Fang Yan wiped away his cold sweat. "If—and I mean if—if Cyndaquil's Garchomp wanted to kill me, would you protect me?"

Gengar: ?! /

Who? Who attacked Garchomp? Me? Σ（∀）

Gengar looked down at its thin little body. Although it had become a bit plump from eating at the nursery, it was still no match for Garchomp.

"Goblin!"

Gengar, sacrificing himself for righteousness, patted his chest.

Fang Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Dialect: Gengar said it would protect me.

Cynthia: [Video Call]

After the call connected, Cynthia's voice came through, "Gengar, I heard you'd protect him, protect someone who bullied me, is that right?"

There was even a hint of grievance in her tone.

I'm reporting someone for cheating!

"Goblin!"

I don't!

Gengar approached the screen, shook its head frantically, and then, to express its "unwavering loyalty," licked Fangyan's face.

"Gengar—you—you—traitor—you're numb, you're numb."

After watching Fang Yan and Gengar playfully fight for a while, Cynthia smiled and said, "I heard you want a Pokémon that can help with housework?"

Fang Yan swallowed the cherry fruit, looked at the center of the screen, and nodded. "Hmm, I'm planning to find a few Pokémon like that, such as Meowth, Indeedee, and Bewear."

Cynthia nodded. "I happen to know someone who wants to find new trainers for Meowth. I can ask around for you. As for Abbot, I'll keep an eye out for you."

"Thank you, Zhulan."

Upon hearing the dialect's thanks, Cynthia buried her face in the desk in front of her chest.

"Consider this payment for the food and drinks I got from freeloading at the animal shelter."

"Don't worry, you can freeload off me for the rest of your life."

"That's wishful thinking."

"Not as beautiful as you."

Cynthia's ears turned red again.

"Garuda has something to say to you."

Fang Yan then noticed Garchomp appearing on the screen.

"Kah?"

I heard you say I'm not pretty enough?

Dialect: Oh no! How should I say this? I need help urgently.

Fang Yan swallowed hard, a smile plastered on his face. "How could that be, Garchomp? What I mean is, you and Cynthia each have your own beauty."

Garchomp squinted, staring at Fang Yan with a suspicious look.

"Let me tell you about Garchomp. A new Alcremie recently joined the breeding center. The desserts it makes are far better than anything I can make. You definitely won't be disappointed next time you come."

Garchomp nodded and then handed the phone back to Cynthia.

Then it seemed to realize something.

"Kah?"

Wait, did that guy change the subject?

After saying a few words with a smile, Cynthia hung up the phone.

"Garuda, it's been so long since we've seen Grandma. How about we go home for a visit?"

Garchomp looked at Cynthia with a gentle expression on its face.

"Kah!"

it is good.

Fang Yan breathed a sigh of relief after hanging up the phone.

Luckily, I was quick-witted and changed the subject.

Then he looked at Gengar.
