Pokémon: All About the Breeding House

Chapter 372 The Spoon Snake and Twin Leaf Town

"Hiss~"

As soon as Fang Yan opened his eyes, he saw a snake-shaped Pokémon looking down at him.

The scar from its eye extended down its body, and its long, terrifying fangs gleamed in the sunlight. It was now staring at him with its long tongue flicking out, hissing continuously.

"Oh my god!"

Fang Yan was so frightened that his soul almost flew out of his mouth, but Gengar quickly grabbed him and stuffed him back into Fang Yan's mouth.

"Goth?"

Why did you call me?

Miss Goth was sweeping the nursery when she heard Fang Yan call out "Mom," so she stopped what she was doing and looked at Fang Yan.

"No, I wasn't calling you. You can continue."

Fang Yan patted his chest to calm himself down as he spoke to Miss Goth, who was cleaning on the stairs.

Miss Goth glared at him when she heard Fang Yan's words, then continued cleaning.

The Super Meow Meow sister is carrying a small bucket and holding a rag, wiping the stair railing.

According to the local dialect, the breeding house needs a thorough cleaning as the Lunar New Year approaches. This is to sweep away bad luck and make it easier to welcome good luck in the coming year.

The Pokémon in the nursery were all doing their jobs. Gengar and Latias were cleaning the ceiling, while Miss Skirt was leading Monini and Roserade in cleaning the windows.

After giving instructions for a while, Fang Yan made an excuse and took Jiuwei to the rest area to slack off.

He was startled by the spiky snake in front of him as soon as he woke up.

"Uncle, the room is all tidied up!"

Shana rushed downstairs with the wind chimes in her hand and then threw herself into Fang Yan's arms.

"Little Shana, her parents, and Wind Chime have all tidied up all the rooms, except for Uncle and Sister Cynthia's room, which we didn't touch because Miss Goth and Miss Skirt said they would help tidy up, so we didn't."

Shana nestled her face against Fang Yan's chest, then looked up, wiping the sweat from her forehead and face onto Fang Yan's clothes.

"whee."

Shana flashed a wide grin, revealing her pearly white teeth.

Fang Yan picked her up and sat her on his lap, then looked at the rice-spoon snake. "What's wrong? Rice-spoon snake, is there something you need from me?"

Upon hearing the dialect question, the rice spoon snake nodded.

"What is it?"

The snake patted the floor with its tail.

"Laji————"

Tap the floor again so I can see—

Miss Skirt turned and stared at the Spoon Snake; a crack had appeared in the floor near its tail.

dialect:----

My floor —

The shrewd snake shrank back, not daring to look at Miss Skirt, and looked at Fang Yan, explaining its purpose.

I heard you found a way to greatly improve the Mongoose Cutter's abilities.

"Are you referring to the cooperation agreement signed with Futaba Town?"

The rice spoon snake nodded.

"Actually, it was Officer Jenny from Twinleaf Town who made the request. She needed the help of the Mongoose Slashers, so I just went along with it and facilitated their cooperation."

The dialect explained.

Why couldn't it be our Scyther? We clearly won this battle.

This sentence makes me sound like a heinous villain.

Besides, while it's a bit strange that Officer Jenny and Zangoose are teaming up, Officer Jenny's partner in the Alola region is Detective Zangoose, and Zangoose and Detective Zangoose are at least somewhat similar.

But you've got Officer Jenny, other police officers, and Spoon Snake working together—

Officer Jenny: Pike, uses highly venom!

Who is the bad guy after all?!

"That being said, but you two, the Spoon Snake and Miss Officer Jenny—are you perhaps a little mismatched?"

Fang Yan spoke cautiously.

Upon hearing this, the spoon snake simply lay down on the ground.

I don't care! You cheated! You're favoring the Mongoose Cutter clan! We Sparrow Serpents also need training opportunities!

Acting cute won't work, you know!

Besides! Shouldn't the scars that run from your eye all the way to your chest be a symbol of a cold-blooded Pokémon? Do you really deserve that scar of a strong Pokémon, rolling around on the ground like a caterpillar and acting all cute?

The spoon snake, like a child, kept wiping the floor with its body.

The next second, it flew up and was thrown out of the breeding house.

It's blocking my cleaning.

Miss Gothic, holding a broom, said coldly.

The slug crawled into the pens and looked at Fang Yan with a wronged expression, as if Fang Yan were a heartless and ungrateful scumbag.

dialect:----

Dialects are incredibly exhausting.

Even if he had this idea, he would have to consider whether Officer Jenny would agree, after all, it would be a matter of Officer Jenny, who represents justice, cooperating with a dangerous snake.

I really can't help you.

"dialect."

Officer Jenny entered the breeding center and saw the Pokémon diligently cleaning it, each doing their own task. "Is this... a spring cleaning?"

Fang Yan looked at the arriving Miss Officer Jenny and guessed which Miss Officer Jenny she was from her tone of voice.

"Sister Xiaosha?"

Miss Officer Jenny nodded. Fang Yan felt a surge of pride upon realizing he hadn't misjudged her, and then invited Miss Officer Jenny to sit in the rest area.

"Sister Xiaosha, please have a seat."

Miss Gothic brought tea from the kitchen to serve the guests. After pouring a cup for Fang Yan and Miss Officer Jenny, she picked up a broom and continued cleaning the nursery.

To be honest, Miss Gothic's attire is quite similar to that of the head maid of the breeding center.

In particular, there was a Pokémon dressed as a maid behind it, diligently tiptoeing to wipe the bookshelf.

I said—

Fang Yan suppressed the urge to spit out the tea, her lips twitching slightly, and asked, "Gengar, where did you steal this maid outfit from—"

When Gengar, dressed as a maid, heard Fang Yan ask him a question, he turned around, looked at Fang Yan, and winked.

(Isn't it cute?)

Hehe, today I'm wearing a Gengar maid outfit!

The dialect was spoken with teeth grinding together.

"Go change your clothes—never mind, whatever makes you happy."

Before he could finish speaking in his dialect, he saw Gengar hiding in the corner again, drawing circles. Helpless, he could only tell it to keep wearing the clothes.

It seems I really need to control how much time it spends watching cartoons.

Officer Jenny from Sand Town, watching his interaction with Gengar, couldn't help but laugh.

Hearing the laughter beside him, Fang Yan looked away and turned to Officer Jenny from Sand Town, saying apologetically, "Sorry, that's just Gengar's personality."

Officer Jenny from Sand Town shook her head. "I think it's fine this way. No wonder Xiao Ye keeps praising you."

Fang Yan scratched his head shyly, "No way."

"But Sister Xiaosha, is there anything I can help you with today?"

"When I first arrived, I saw that the pike-eating snake seemed to have been thrown out. Did something happen?"

The two spoke at the same time.

Fang Yan heard Miss Officer Jenny's question and explained.

"Recently, Twinleaf Town partnered with a group of Zangoose Pokémon in the vicinity to drive away aggressive wild Pokémon that are prone to harming others, and to hunt down some bad guys. When Seviper found out about this, it asked me to find them a similar opportunity."

Miss Officer Jenny's eyes gleamed with an unusual light after hearing Fang Yan's words.

"If the rice-spoon snakes were like the mongoose slash, it would feel out of place, and I can't find a place for them to go—"

Hearing the dialect spoken, Miss Officer Jenny nodded in satisfaction, "Come to our True Sand Town."

"The Rice Spinosaurus can't possibly cooperate with the Mongoose Cutter and the others in Twinleaf Town, and there's plenty of other places to go—what?"

Fang Yan looked at Miss Joey and asked.

"I said, let the Eel Snakes come to our Sandalwood Town. We can cooperate with them. Just like the contract that Futaba Town signed with Mongoose Cutter, we can sign the same contract with the Eel Snakes in Sandalwood Town."

Miss Officer Jenny from Masago Town picked up her tea, took a sip, and repeated herself.

dialect:?

"I came here today to discuss this matter with you. Although there has never been a case of the League cooperating with wild Pokémon before, since the League has allowed Twinleaf Town and Zangoose to cooperate, it means that they believe it is feasible. In that case, our Sandstone Town can also give it a try."

"Of course, the main reason is that we trust you. You can establish a connection with these wild Pokémon, and I believe that with your help, our Sandstreet Town can be just like Twinleaf Town."

Officer Jenny from Sandsun Town said with a smile, "Actually, I came here today to ask if X-Raycats could sign a contract with Sandsun Town to help us."

The Röntgen cat on Fangyan's left raised its head and looked at Officer Jenny, as if it had just woken up.

Fang Yan reached out and grabbed the Röntgen cat's head, letting it rest its head on Shana's lap, and together they vigorously rubbed its head.

"But now that you mention it, it seems like the Pike-toothed Serpent is more suitable for us?"

Roentgen Cat:? ?

"After looking at it for a while, I think the Pyracantha is actually quite cool."

Roentgen Cat:? ? ?

dialect:----

Is Officer Jenny riding on Arcanine, commanding Scyther to fight against evil forces?

"Does Sand Town need these pike-toothed snakes?"

Miss Officer Jenny nodded. "That's right."

Fang Yan loosened Röntgen's head and said "Okay".

"Little Shana, could you go to the backyard and call for the Sparrow Snake?"

"Okay~"

Shana jumped off Fang Yan's lap and ran quickly toward the backyard.

A moment later, Shana emerged from behind the counter, dragging a two-meter-long spoon snake.

"Uncle, it didn't want to come over at first, but it's okay, I dragged it over."

The serpent realized it couldn't escape Shana's clutches, so it could only resign itself to being dragged along.

I can get there by myself —

Little Shana didn't understand. Little Shana took a deep breath, put her tail on her shoulder, and started running.

Shana dragged the rice spoon snake to Officer Jenny in Masago Town, put her tail down, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and said in a soft and cute voice, "Little Shana is so tired."

"Little rascal."

Fang Yan pinched her cheek, wiped the sweat from her forehead, then hugged her and looked at the still somewhat emotional leader of the Spoon Snakes.

"Are you still angry?"

The spiky snake lay on the floor, shifted its body, and turned its tail toward Fang Yan.

"Sure, how about this, Sister Xiaosha? What do you think of Röntgen Cat? The Lecter Cats can help you just like the Mongoose Cutter and the others. Originally, I wanted to send a certain snake over, but who knows if it would agree?"

"hiss!"

Dah!

Seeing the giant snake head suddenly appear, Shana, who was being held in Fang Yan's arms, was startled. She then raised her fist and punched down.

The leader of the Spoon Snakes lay on the floor, unconscious.

"I didn't mean to—it scared me—"

Shana looked up and explained to Fang Yan.

The dialect was somewhat amusing.

How can I raise her to be the kind of well-bred young lady?

When the leader of the Spoon Snakes regained consciousness, she immediately went to find Fang Yan. The next second, Fang Yan's voice rang out, "It's alright, she went back to get the contract."

The rice-spoon snake looked at Fang Yan and saw that Fang Yan was sitting in a chair, smiling at him. "She originally wanted the X-ray cats and the others."

The spoon snake became nervous.

"But later she felt that the rice-spoon snakes seemed more suitable for her, so she asked me if the rice-spoon snakes could go and assist them in Masago Town, just like the mongoose slashers in Futaba Town."

Judging from the still somewhat dazed appearance of the rice-spoon snake, Shana's punch seemed to have been quite powerful.

"So, Sparrow Snake, would you be willing to take the Sparrow Snakes to Sand Village to help Officer Jenny and the others protect Sand Village?"

Fang Yan approached the rice spoon snake and asked.

Without the slightest hesitation, the serpent kept nodding its head.

Fang Yan laughed when he saw this, and then held Shana and waited quietly for Officer Jenny from Zhensha Town to bring the contract over.

Not long after, Officer Jenny from Masago Town walked into the breeding center with several contracts.

Fang Yan took the contract and glanced at it. It was almost identical to the one in Shuangye Town, and its contents were based on the principle of equality between the two parties.

For example, the Sparrow Snake will help Officer Jenny of Sand Town protect Sand Town, but Sand Town also needs to protect the Sparrow Snake's safety, including but not limited to free treatment, providing sufficient food, and a suitable living environment. Of course, the Sparrow Snake does not need Sand Town to pay any fees.

At the same time, if a Seviper encounters a Trainer it admires, Sand Town must not prevent the Seviper from leaving with the Trainer.

Do not interfere too much with Seviper's living habits. Seviper will only take orders when driving away wild Pokémon and capturing villains and fighting criminals. The rest of the time is Seviper's free time.

Conversely, Seviper cannot create panic in Sandstone Town, should not enter Sandstone Town unless absolutely necessary, and cannot break its contract without reason, failing to help Sandstone Town expel Pokémon or fight crime.

Overall, Sandstone Town has many advantages. After all, Seviper and other Pokémon are wild and don't require payment, which alone is worth more than other treaties.

After Fang Yan explained the contents of the contract to Officer Jenny and the Sparrow Serpent, he watched as Officer Jenny pressed her handprint on the contract, and the Sparrow Serpent pressed its tail on top of it.

Two contracts were made, one given to Ms. Officer Jenny, representing Masago Town, and the other kept by the breeding center representing the Pike-spike.

After signing the contract, the leader of the Sparrow Snakes went to the backyard or the forest to summon the other Sparrow Snakes.

Fang Yan and Officer Jenny from Masago Town stood at the entrance of the breeding house. Fang Yan suddenly remembered something and instructed Officer Jenny from Masago Town, "By the way, Officer Jenny, absolutely, absolutely, absolutely, we can't let the Pike-spear snake and the Zangoose Claw meet."

Officer Jenny from Masaru Town nodded.

"If you and Sister Xiaoye need to cooperate, be sure to communicate in advance, otherwise, if they meet during a mission—"

The dialect speaker couldn't even imagine that scene.

"Don't worry, I understand."

Miss Officer Jenny patted Fang Yan on the shoulder to comfort him.

"Um.

Fang Yan nodded, and seeing that the rice-spoon snakes had all gathered, he walked over and said, "Remember to come back and find me if anything happens."

The leader of the rice spoon snakes nodded.

"Remember, if you need to kill them with meerkats, try to show mercy."

The rice spoon snake nodded.

"Go, I look forward to you becoming stronger. There will be another battle between you and the Mongoose Slash this year."

All the spiky snakes present instantly became highly motivated.

Officer Jenny from Sand Village nodded to Fang Yan, then got on her motorcycle and headed towards Sand Village with the Spoon Snakes.

Fang Yan looked up, and the Mook Eagle nodded, following behind them.

"Have they left?"

Shana held Fang Yan's hand.

Fang Yan looked at Shana gently, "Yes, Zhensha Town needs them."

Will they come back?

"Yes, you've forgotten, they'll continue fighting the Mongoose Claw."
