Pokémon: All About the Breeding House

Chapter 366 The Seeds of the Grancitia Flower

Chapter 366 Gracidia Flower Seeds (5k)

Gently rocking the old chair beneath me, I watched as the sky above the breeding shed turned a brilliant blue, the sunlight just right, slowly moving westward.

Fang Yan sniffed softly. The whole yard was filled with the damp, fishy smell of snow melting into the soil, and the scent of spring.

The grass was lush and green, and the big tree with two swings, one large and one small, began to sprout new branches. The long-tailed monsters began to return to their plantation, and there were a few more small ones in number.

Master Yuan and Speaker Cricket, disliking the damp grass, both ran onto the stone-paved path and began playing a long-forgotten melody.

The Patchles began cleaning the boxes under the tree, removing the dead branches and leaves, then tidying them up with their large, fluffy tails. They carefully placed the gifts they had brought from the forest inside, hoping that humans would come the next morning to collect them and make them some delicious food. Then they could sit in the tree, eating while listening to the crickets sing and watching the curly-haired or long-eared rabbits dance.

Staraptor was finally able to spread its wings and soar freely in the sky, playfully cutting the white clouds into the shapes of the Breeding House Pokémon.

Large groups of drifting balls and wind-borne balls began to appear in the sky, floating hazily around the breeding house.

Listening to the noisy sounds of Pokémon around him, smelling the spring air in the yard, basking in the afternoon sun, and stroking the tail of Pachirisu in his arms, Fang Yan couldn't help but yawn, and then closed his eyes again.

Caught up by Fang Yan's yawn, Monini and Pachilis also yawned. Monini rubbed her eyes, then nestled against Fang Yan's chest, found a comfortable position, and closed her eyes.

Pachilis tried to break free, but Fang Yan's large hands held it tightly in his arms. After struggling for a while, it realized it couldn't break free, so it closed its eyes and fell asleep.

Fang Yan felt something patting his face, and the tickling made him open his eyes. It was already dark when a beautiful fox head suddenly appeared in his line of sight.

Nine-Tails looked at Fang Yan, whom she had woken up, and said gently.

"call out."

It's time to eat.

Fang Yan glanced at the sky; it was already dark.

Is it already this late?

Fang Yan lay there, lost in thought.

"call out."

Let's eat first.

Nine-Tails nudged Fang Yan with its head, waking up Monini and Patchlitz who were lying in Fang Yan's arms. Monini sat up and rubbed its eyes.

"Nini?"

Why is it so dark?

Fang Yan felt the dampness on his chest, pinched its little nose, and said, "Sleepyhead."

"Nini."

Even those who speak in dialects sleep until this late, yet they criticize me.

"Papa?"

Patchlitz is still adorably goofy.

Why did it get dark so quickly?

Fang Yan flicked it on the forehead, "You're a sleepyhead too."

Then he lifted Pachilisz up, buried his face in Pachilisz's stomach, and took a deep breath.

Sure enough, it was that Patch Liz!

What a familiar feeling!

Pachlitz: Mom! ————

(Mother!)

Before Pachlitz could finish speaking, Fang Yan picked him up.

Fang Yan, carrying Monini in one arm and Pachirisu in the other, walked to the dining table. Shana, the Fujino couple, Gothic, Gengar, Darkrai—all were already seated at the table, waiting for Fang Yan to take his seat.

"Wow, today's feast is plentiful too."

Fang Yan looked at the dazzling array of dishes on the table and said in surprise.

"It was all made by Miss Gothic, Alcremie, and Meowth together."

Mrs. Fujino said with a smile.

"And me too."

Mrs. Fujino laughed. "Yes, and our little Zoroya too."

"That's great."

Alcremie, Meowth, and Zorua all laughed happily.

"Why did you choose to eat in the yard today?"

Fang Yan asked in confusion.

"I speak in dialect, can we eat first? You talk too much."

Darkrai grumbled, clearly disgruntled; it had been wanting to start eating for a while.

"Because the weather is so nice today, and we haven't eaten in the backyard in a long time, we decided to have dinner there tonight. Look, the lights around here were all arranged by Shana and her dad."

Mrs. Fujino said with a smile.

"Has little Shana become this capable already?"

Fang Yan looked at Xiao Shana sitting opposite him and said.

Little Shana held her head high and puffed out her chest, as if she wanted to lift her nose to the sky.

"dialect----"

"Alright, alright, let's eat first, otherwise that Darkrai will kill me."

Fang Yan put a big chicken leg on Gengar's plate for each of Darkrai.

"Just eat. You can't call anyone when you're fighting, but you don't need to call anyone when you're eating."

"I just couldn't make it in time—"

Darkrai felt a little guilty.

Fang Yan rolled his eyes.

Fang Yan peeled an egg for Pachilisz, who took the egg and quietly began to eat it.

Actually—if there's good food to eat every day, I wouldn't mind letting two-legged creatures suck on it.

After dinner, upon hearing Fang Yan ask him to stay and wash the dishes, Darkrai quickly said, "I've been out for so long, I need to go back to the courtyard. It wouldn't be good if something unexpected happened again."

dialect:----

"There will be a late-night snack."

"Really? What time? I'll come over then, it'll be quick anyway."

dialect:----

(Smile)

Darkrai: Bad————

"Hehe, am I that kind of Pokémon, huh? I really have to go back now. Remember to call me next time you need anything."

Darkrai waved to the dialect, then disappeared into the shadows and left the breeding house.

The speed was so fast that even dialects didn't have time to react.

It had a somewhat panicked, fleeing feel to it.

Fang Yan sighed and went into the kitchen to help wash the dishes, but Miss Goth used her mental power to throw him out.

"Goethe".

Go take a shower.

Listening to Miss Gothic's words, Fang Yan stood up, patted his sore bottom, and took Gengar and Minnie back to the bathroom in his room. He took a nice bath, along with Patchles.

After taking a shower, Fang Yan lay in bed and talked to Cynthia on the phone for a while. After Cynthia hung up and went to rest, Fang Yan carefully read the words that appeared in front of him.

[The Other Side of the World: As someone who once challenged Arceus, Giratina was banished by Arceus to the other side of the world, the Reverse World. Due to certain special circumstances, Giratina went berserk. With the combined efforts of you and your most trusted Pokémon, Giratina was restored to normal. To express its gratitude, Giratina presents you with its most sincere gift.]

[Gift 1: "Messenger of Shadows"] Gengar, a Pokémon adept at using shadow powers, seems to have learned some moves it couldn't normally master. This intrigued Giratina, who wondered if Gengar, capable of learning moves from the Darkrai and Zoroea families, could also learn its own signature moves. To test this idea, Giratina gifted Gengar the key to the Distortion World, making Gengar the Messenger of Shadows, free to travel to it.

Gengar will be going to the Distortion World for training with Giratina for the next period of time. Perhaps there will be unexpected changes, or perhaps not?

[Gift Two: "Power," you seem to be able to—open the door to a reversed world?! (garbled text)?! !!!]

[Gratitude from the Grancia Flower Field: Shaymin, a wondrous Pokémon, possesses the power to dissolve toxins in the atmosphere and instantly transform barren land into flowerbeds. Legend has it that when people rejoice at the end of winter with the changing seasons and offer their gratitude to the heavens, Shaymin appears, causing the desolate land to bloom with flowers. Furthermore, when it is gently held in a human's arms and feels gratitude, its entire body blossoms with flowers. Lying in Ash's arms, it witnessed your battle against the rampaging Giratina and your protection of them. It is deeply moved by the bond between you and your Pokémon and is sincerely grateful to you for protecting the flower field, protecting it, and protecting everything. Therefore, it brings you the most sincere gift from its entire Shaymin family.]

[The Glimpse of Light in the Grancia Flower Field: Legend has it that Shaymin possesses the ability to open portals to the Reverse World, granting it considerable combat prowess. They have noticed one of your Pokémon, and therefore, at a specific time, they will pass by the Nursery and train your Pokémon. However, the ability to open portals to the Reverse World seems to be unteachable.]

[Training Pokémon: Miss Skirt, Roserade (?)]

[Grancidia Flower: Legend has it that to convey his gratitude, Shami flies into the sky during the Grancidia flower blooming season and gives you the seeds of his favorite flower.]

[Grancia Flower Seed: A gift from Shaymin, this seed can grow into a Grancia flower. You can plant it in the soil of the nursery. Perhaps before long, the nursery will be filled with beautiful and grateful Grancia flowers. It seems to have a magical reaction with one of the magical Pokémon in the nursery?]

Wow----

This is another major buff for Gengar.

As everyone knows, Darkrai and Giratina are nicknamed "Little Gengar" — (crossed out)

Fang Yan had already imagined that in future battles, when Gengar used Protect, it would use Shadow Sneak to ambush it, break through the Protect barrier, and then throw out Dark Hole containing Dark Blast.

False Dirt: Substitute Poison; Real Dirt: Shadow Lurker, Dark Hole, Dark Blast.

Do I now have the ability to open up a reversed world?

Fang Yan stroked his chin and frowned.

Shouldn't this kind of ability be learned by Pokémon?

Could this be a unique ability that belongs to me?

The power of shadow? The power of reversal?

Could it be that I am the Giratina?

So, how do I open the door to the reversed world?

Fang Yan tried extending his left hand, opening his palm, thought for a moment, and then shouted something.

"open!"

Gengar floated out of the bathroom in a good mood, but Fang Yan suddenly shouted "Open!" which startled it so much that it immediately scurried back into the ceiling.

"Kou Jie?"

What's wrong with you?

Gengar stuck its head out, looked at Fang Yan, and asked.

Fang Yan noticed there was no reaction and pursed his lips.

What? I've been scammed?

[Gift Two: "Authority"—You seem to have the power to open the gates to the Reverse World? You can send an invitation to Giratina, and once granted permission, you can open the gates to the Reverse World.]

Looking at the text that popped up again, Fang Yan sat cross-legged and nodded.

"So that's how it is."

So what's the difference between this and me telling Giratina and then Giratina opening the door to the Reverse World for me?

【————】

You guessed right.

dialect:----

Take a deep breath————

At this moment, Fang Yan felt a strange feeling in his heart, and the next second, a familiar voice entered his mind.

"Fang Yan, are you going to open the portal to a world turned upside down?"

"Giratina?"

The dialect was somewhat shocking.

"Um, what's wrong? Should I open a portal to the reverse world for you?"

dialect:----

I told you so! Someone else opened it, not me!

I thought I had become Brother Xiaoming, that I could raise my hand and a mirror would appear in front of me, and I could walk through it at will.

"No need, I'll just try it."

"Okay, I'll go back to fixing the Reverse World. Remember to have Gengar come find me; I can help guide it."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work."

After Fangyan lost contact with Giratina, Miss Goth and Miss Skirt pushed open the door and came in.

Seeing Nine-Tails lying on the carpet, Fang Yan rolled around a few times skillfully, then rolled off the bed into Nine-Tails' arms, and Monini imitated him in a very convincing way.

Patchlitz hesitated for a moment, then rolled over as well.

Unexpectedly, Dali also came to the room tonight, but he sat on the balcony and continued the training he had been doing ever since he came to the nursery.

Miss Gothic turned off the lights, leaving only the small lamp on the dressing table lit in the entire room.

Fang Yan, who had slept all afternoon, was not sleepy at all, even though she was holding Monini and Pachilis in her arms.

He opened his eyes and stared blankly at the ceiling.

The Gengar, covered by a small blanket on the ceiling, sensed something, looked at Fang Yan, and whispered, "Gengar?"

What's wrong with you?

Fang Yan shook his head and replied in a low voice, "I can't sleep."

"Kou Jie?"

what is it now?

"Why don't you come down and talk to me for a while?"

Gengar nodded and carefully floated to Fang Yan's side. Fang Yan cautiously stood up, stepped over the sprawled Latias, and went to the dressing table. He sat down in the chair, took out the Grancia flower seeds by the light of the small lamp, and whispered, "When the weather is right, how about we plant Grancia flowers all over the nursery? They're the flowers we saw in the flower field."

"口桀"

I remember it; it was a very beautiful flower.

Fang Yan nodded, "When they see the beautiful Gramcidia flowers every day, Miss Goth and the others will surely be very happy, right?"

Gengar nodded.

"Then we'll expand the planting area of the breeding house, and then—"

The more he talked, the more excited he became, so he simply took out a pen and started drawing on paper, explaining it to Gengar as he drew.

At that moment, the lights were turned on.

Fang Yan looked up and found that Miss Goth and the others were all awake, looking at him and Gengar.

Except for that one sleeping airplane sister.

Fang Yan felt inexplicably guilty, "Did I disturb you?"

Miss Skirt rubbed her eyes, shook her head, and said, "Laji."

We woke up when you got up.

Patchlitz: Huh? Really? Didn't I just wake up?

"Goethe".

Let's talk with the lights on, otherwise it's bad for our eyes, and we can listen too.

Fang Yan grinned.

Then he continued talking, and all the Pokémon gathered around him, listening attentively as he described his plans for the breeding center after spring.

"Nini~"

You can do it this way too.

Monini sat on Fangyan's lap and offered her opinion.

"Sure, whatever Monini likes."

"Laji?"

How about this?

"it is good."

"call out."

Where I want to sleep.

"no problem."

Fang Yan suddenly stood up and walked to the balcony when the paper was completely covered with drawings. Gengar and the others followed him and stood on the balcony.

Fang Yan watched Miss Skirt sitting on the balcony, her little feet swinging in the air. Fang Yan suddenly remembered her when she was still a Lilyroot Toy; back then, she was also on the balcony, with herself and Gengar behind her.

Fang Yan suddenly pointed to the pitch-black breeding house in the distance, "Miss Skirt, use Seed Flash."

Miss Skirt: ? ? ?

Seeing Miss Skirt's puzzled expression, Fang Yan realized something and awkwardly scratched his head.

Miss Skirt and Miss Goth exchanged a glance.

Miss Skirt: Me? Seed Flash? He has a fever again?

Miss Goth: You'll get used to it.

At that moment, a gentle light suddenly burst forth from the distance.

Fang Yan and the Pokémon looked over.

A handsome, slightly rebellious face appeared before everyone, followed by a group of handsome, slightly rebellious faces, including one whose dialect sounded very familiar.

"Seed flash? Is that how it is? (Dialect)"

"I'm in the lead," said Shemi with a smile.

dialect:???

"How did you all end up here?"

At this moment, Xie Mi, whom Fang Yan had rescued, spoke up: "Guess? Hehe."

The leader, Shaymin, led the Shaymin to the balcony. Gengar counted them; there were twelve Shaymin in total.

"Thank you, Fangyan, for protecting the flower field and preserving it."

"That's what Shemi, who's in charge, said sincerely."

"It's what I should do."

Shaymin, who was in the lead, nodded. "We heard that you have a Pokémon that is very suitable to learn our family's skills, so we came here. To repay your help, we will help you teach that Pokémon. However, I just discovered that there seems to be another Pokémon that is suitable. If you don't mind, we can teach them together, but we can't guarantee that they will definitely learn it. After all, these are moves that only our family can master."

If Shaymin hadn't spoken dialect and used Dark Hole and Dark Blast, the leader of Shaymin wouldn't have believed what Shaymin said.

However, when they arrived at the breeding house, they smelled the fragrance of the flowers there and all of them evolved into their Sky Form.

The air in the nursery was filled with the fragrance of flowers, happiness, joy, and gratitude.

That's why they can evolve into their sky form when they smell the fragrance of these flowers.

It now believes what Shemi said.

They might actually be able to learn the techniques of their own kind.

"Compare?"

The queen bee flew over and asked Fang Yan what had happened.

After explaining in dialect, the queen bee looked at the Shemi and nodded before flying back to the hive.

"Don't worry about us, we'll rest in the flower garden. It's a great help to us there, after all, it's the first time I've ever seen such a magical flower garden."

Seeing Fang Yan's struggle, Xie Mi, who was in the lead, said understandingly.

Fang Yan breathed a sigh of relief. After all, with so many Shemi coming over, his room definitely wouldn't be big enough. But he couldn't let other Pokémon into the Bee Queen's hive in the forest either. Letting them rest outdoors would be a bit against his principles.

"dialect?"

Fang Yan heard a familiar voice, looked up, and found that a passage to the Reverse World had appeared in the sky at some point. Giratina was looking at him with a bewildered expression on the other side of the passage.

"I forgot, our seed flash can open a portal to the reverse world—"

Shemi, who was in the lead, was somewhat embarrassed.

"It's alright, it's alright, it was unexpected, it was unexpected. You can continue with your work."

Fang Yan quickly explained to Giratina, and then closed the portal to the Reverse World.

He discovered that he could shut down the portal to the Reverse World without Giratina's consent.

"Wouldn't that mean in the future—"

"Don't worry, we won't open the passage if we're careful."

Fang Yan put her mind at ease.

"Then I'll have to trouble you."

The leader, Shaymi, shook his head to indicate that he was alright, and then led the Shaymis towards the flowerbed.

Shemi turned around and smiled at Fang Yan.

Fang Yan winked at it, then raised an eyebrow, "I'll cook something delicious for you all tomorrow, especially for you."
