Pokémon: All About the Breeding House

Chapter 349 Heracross: Oh no, they're coming for me!

Fang Yan led the Nine-Tailed Fox and the others downstairs and sat down in their seats.

The super-powerful cat brought up breakfast, and Fang Yan casually patted its head and ears.

It feels great!

Fang Yan picked up the soy milk and took a sip with satisfaction. Then he tore the fried dough stick in half, soaked one half in the soy milk, and put the other half in Gengar's soy milk.

Gengar was eating a soft bread when it saw the fried dough sticks soaking in its bowl and swallowed the bread.

"Kou Jie~"

Thank you!

Fang Yan took a bite of the fried dough stick soaked in soy milk and was very satisfied.

He noticed Zoroya sitting in the rest area and asked, puzzled, "Zoroya, don't you have an appetite today?"

Soroya shook his head weakly.

"Is it because the breakfast wasn't to your liking?"

Soroya shook his head again.

"No—hiccup—"

dialect:----

"So you were just stuffed!"

Soroya covered his mouth and laughed somewhat embarrassedly.

"Hiccup—I didn't mean to—hiccup—"

"You're full now, so get some rest. Don't overeat."

"Hmm...hiccup"

After finishing breakfast, Fang Yan sat down in the rest area, took out his notebook and the recent bills from the animal shelter, and began to calculate.

January is almost here, and he doesn't know how the breeding house's income and expenses will be this winter, so he wants to calculate it to see if it will make a profit or a loss.

The scratching sound of the pen nib sliding across the paper was incessant. A ray of sunlight slipped in through the door of the breeding shed, shining directly on the Nine-Tails, which was lying at Fang Yan's feet, dozing off with its eyes half-closed. The warm feeling made the Nine-Tails' tail sway involuntarily.

The television on the wall of the breeding house was playing a love story of Pokémon. Gengar sat next to Fang Yan, eating snacks and watching with great interest.

Mighty, Mighty, Mighty, Zoroark, Mighty Eagle, and Super Rhinoceros, Golduck, Marill, and Mount Goat are coming and going in and out of the breeding house, providing delivery services.

Shana ran out of the kitchen with her schoolbag bulging on her back. She called out, "I'm going to school!" as she jingled with a wind chime, then ran to the door, mounted her fiery horse, and rode away.

The cabin is closed today, so Miss Gothic, Roserade, and Meowth all stayed at the breeding house.

The Super Meow siblings went to the cafeteria to help Monini greet the guests.

Miss Gothic picked up a broom and began cleaning the breeding house.

Miss Skirt sat on a high stool behind the counter, chatting and eating snacks with Latias, who was hiding beside her.

The Fujino couple went to the backyard to take care of the Pokémon that were being fostered at the breeding center.

Splat~

Miss Gothic looked at the trash lying at her feet, then turned and stared at Gengar.

Gengar remained in its trash-throwing pose, and when it saw Miss Gothic looking at it, it grinned.

whee.

Miss Goth glared at it, then swept the trash into the bin. She then went to the rest area, raised her foot high without even looking up, swept the broom over her feet, and then put her foot down.

Miss Gothic kicked Nine-Tails, and Nine-Tails opened its eyes.

"Goethe".

Go sleep on the other side.

Nine-Tailed Fox lazily stood up, shook itself, then went to the other side of Fang Yan and lay down.

After a busy morning, Fang Yan finally finished calculating the accounts.

Looking at the numbers above, Fang Yan was lost in confusion.

Contrary to his expectations, he did not suffer losses; instead, he made a profit.

Looking at the seven-figure number on the paper, Fang Yan swallowed hard.

Earning more in winter than in summer and autumn?!

This doesn't even include the tips the Pokémon bring back from the breeding center.

Fang Yan placed several sheets of paper on the Nine-Tailed Fox's body one by one.

Nine-Tails: ?!

The cost of raising animals is enormous, with 80% going towards food and less than 20% towards equipment and facilities.

As for the money from selling Pokémon eggs at the breeding center, I originally thought that after selling the Dratini eggs, I could rest easy about the breeding center's winter income. However, things didn't go as planned. The money from selling Pokémon eggs at the breeding center, plus the fees for boarding Pokémon, after deducting the breeding center's overall expenses, still left some money, but not much.

"Did we spend that much on food? —"

He muttered to himself in dialect.

Seeing Gengar put the snacks back into the jar, Fang Yan was both amused and exasperated. "Eat up, it's not like you're missing out. You won't go hungry no matter what."

Seeing that Gengar was still hesitating, Fang Yan said, "Do you see this? The numbers on this piece of paper are the money we've earned in the last two months."

Gengar leaned over and glanced at it, unable to understand it, but there were a lot of numbers.

"Kou Jie"

Then I can rest assured.

Gengar poured a can of snacks directly into its mouth and started chewing.

(in dialect) "You're being way too cocky."

"Kou Jie Yi—"

Mind your own business (chewing)

Fang Yan pinched the corner of its mouth.

Looking at the numbers on that piece of paper, almost all of them were revenue from delivery services.

Are food delivery services really that profitable?!

To put it jokingly, the petting farm earns less from its main business than from its side business.

To make another joke, this is a nursery, not a restaurant.

I even laughed at myself for using dialect.

Food is also part of cultivation, right?

Fang Yan recalled the idea that humans are also a special kind of Pokémon. His breeding house's delivery service serves humans, which is similar to raising humans, and humans are also a special kind of Pokémon.

The result is obvious.

A breeding house is not the same as a restaurant.

Humans = Pokémon.

Substitute the first formula into the second formula.

Breeding house = breeding house.

Fang Yan was still lost in thought when he suddenly heard the Queen Bee's voice coming from the backyard.

"Compare!"

dialect!

Fang Yan quickly stood up and ran to the backyard.

"What's wrong? What happened?!"

Miss Gothic and Gengar floated beside Fang Yan, while Ninetales stood behind Ninetales, and Miss Skirt stood in front of Fang Yan, holding an energy ball in her hand.

The Queen Bee shook her head, gesturing for Fang Yan to look towards the garden.

Kairos is wrestling with Milk Tank, though it's Kairos who's getting completely thrashed.

"Is Keiros still harboring malicious intentions?"

Fang Yan looked at Kairos, who was diligently honing his strength, and couldn't help but say something.

With so many Pokémon around, why did Pinsir fall for Mighty?

I've complained about this dialect countless times.

You're not from the same egg group!

The queen bee shook her head, gesturing for Fang Yan to look towards the flowerbed.

Fang Yan looked over in confusion and found an Ariados hiding in the flowerbed, staring at Kairos with a very gentle smile on its face.

"It won't—"

The dialect was utterly astonishing.

After finding no enemies, Miss Skirt put away the energy ball.

The queen bee nodded.

"Compare."

That's right.

"If I remember correctly, that Ariados was one of the Pokémon that Miss Gothic brought back yesterday to stay at the nursery to lay eggs, right?"

Miss Goth nodded.

"Goethe".

The other one is a hunting swallowtail butterfly.

The hunting swallowtail butterfly was looking in Fang Yan's direction.

"Wait a minute, does that mean one of the Pokémon being fostered here to lay eggs has taken a liking to Pinsir?"

He asked in a dialect.

The queen bee had a look on her face as if she were watching a melon seed.

"Compare."

That's right.

dialect:--

"But shouldn't it and the Hunting Swallowtail be a pair? That's how they lay eggs, so why did it suddenly fall for Kairos?"

The Queen Bee looked at Fang Yan, seemingly wondering why he would say such a thing.

"Compare."

Eggs don't need to be together. Most Pokémon only need to be paired up once they've found each other; only a small percentage will stay together.

dialect:----

"Is that so?!"

Miss Skirt and the others nodded.

dialect:----

"All right."

Kairos dragged his aching body to Fang Yan's side.

"Heli".

Kairos greeted Fang Yan and the others.

At that moment, Ariadne climbed over with flowers she had picked from the flowerbed.

"Hodor————"

I'm giving this to you.

Dialect: My flowers — (heartbroken)

Kairos: ?!

Kairos was startled when he saw the shy look on Ariados's face.

Oh no, it's coming for me!

It quickly looked around and breathed a sigh of relief when it found that Dali was not there.

It then directly rejected Alethos's flowers.

Ariados was not discouraged and kept asking Keros what he liked.

Unable to bear the harassment any longer, Keros ran towards the forest.

Ariados followed closely behind.

Fang Yan couldn't help but laugh as he watched Kairos scurry away with his head in his hands.

Looking up, Fang Yan noticed that the Hunting Swallowtail was still looking at him, or more accurately, at Heracross, who had somehow appeared beside him.

Wait a minute!

Fang Yan confirmed Heracross's gender again—male—and then glanced at the Swallowtail Butterfly's gender; also male.

Dialect: ? ! （{△{）

Does that city exist in the Pokémon world?!

Fang Yan bit his thumb, too shocked to speak.

Fang Yan looked at Heracross and said, "Hey, Heracross, why don't you go hide too?"

Heracross didn't understand, but then he glanced in the direction of the dialect.

Suddenly, I felt a tightness behind me.

He turned and left.

The queen bee let out an incredibly joyful laugh.

Fang Yan watched as the hunting butterfly followed Heracross.

I couldn't help but rub my forehead.
