Pokémon: All About the Breeding House

Chapter 390 The Breeding House During Typhoon Weather

"So a typhoon is coming where you are?"

On Rotom's phone, Cynthia, who was in a video call, asked the question.

"According to the notification I received, that seems to be the case."

Fang Yan lay wearily on the old-fashioned chair in the rest area and began to speak.

The workload at the breeding center increased dramatically in the past two days. In just two days, 58 Pokémon eggs have been sold, and more than a dozen Forest Pokémon have been adopted.

Fang Yan shared this data with Cynthia.

"That's normal, because many beginner trainers choose to buy Pokémon eggs during the Lily of the Valley Conference, hatch them, and then embark on their journey after the conference ends."

Cynthia sat in her office chair, her Rotom phone floating beside her, while she stared at the screen on her computer.

Why did you choose to buy a Pokémon egg during the Lily of the Valley Conference?

I don't quite understand the dialect.

"Because the gym leaders are on vacation during the tournament, they will only reopen the gym challenges after the tournament ends."

Cynthia looked up at the man's tired face on the screen, smiled gently, and said, "Gym Leaders also need rest, and gyms also need to be renovated and repaired during this time."

"Our gym leaders or elite gym leaders are much better than those in other gym leaders or elite gym leaders. After all, our gym leaders and elite gym leaders all work properly during working hours, unlike some others—"

Cynthia thought of her best friend and shook her head helplessly.

You insult Carlos every day, right?

"That's true."

He nodded in agreement in the dialect.

It's hard not to agree, after all, the Sinnoh region has a king of overtime.

Their ability to handle alliance affairs is outstanding.

Aside from that guy in the Padilla region who is both a Gym Leader and an Elite Four member, the Sinnoh Elite Four members have already been working very hard.

It seems that apart from that one, there is no one else who can compare with Wusong, the king of "overtime".

The guy from the Parthian region, I felt a little sorry for him when I was playing Zhu Zi back then.

"Was the nursery area unaffected?"

Hearing Cynthia's concern, Fang Yan looked up at the outside. It was midday, and it was already pitch black outside.

"This typhoon is likely to be very powerful."

"That's just how the weather is near the sea. Typhoons are very common in spring and summer, but as long as you stay in the breeding house, there shouldn't be any problems."

Fang Yan nodded. "The Lily of the Valley Convention starts tomorrow, right?"

"Um.

""

"Who will be the warm-up match?"

"Daye and I originally wanted to invite you, but your popularity isn't high, and you're busy with the breeding center, so we cancelled the idea. As for other champions, Steven won't take on this kind of commission. Wallace is busy organizing the Wallace Cup, Karune is filming, Lance said he's busy, Leon rarely leaves the Galar region, and there's supposedly a problem with the Padia Crater in Yorz's area. Alder's performance has declined significantly due to the death of a Pokémon."

Cynthia sighed, "In general, they're all not very available right now. After thinking about it, we decided to just let Big Leaf play."

"By the way, is Watari still with you?"

Cynthia tidied her blonde hair behind her ear and asked.

Fang Yan shook his head, gritting his teeth, "That guy, the day before yesterday, as soon as he heard me say that the breeding center was about to get busy, he rode his Dragonite back to the Kanto region overnight, afraid that I would ask him to stay and help."

Thinking of Wataru riding his Dragonite and leaving overnight, Fang Yan felt incredibly sad.

I should have kept my word; maybe I could have gotten him to stay and help out at work.

The champion of the Kanto region works at my little breeding shop. It's so prestigious when word gets out that.

What made Fang Yan even more upset was that before leaving, Du shamelessly stole all the desserts and snacks that Soap Milk Fairy had made in the kitchen, causing Soap Milk Fairy to cry all day.

Dodo, if I catch you next time, you're dead!

Cynthia listened to the dialect-accented complaints and shook her head with amusement.

"It's a pity I can't go to watch the opening ceremony tomorrow."

Fang Yan said regretfully.

Even without a typhoon, given how busy the nursery is, he couldn't possibly leave the nursery to go watch the Lily of the Valley Festival.

"I'd like to see Ash and the others battle in person, after all, I've taught them so much."

"It's okay."

Cynthia spoke gently, comforting Fang Yan, "Given their strength, as long as we don't encounter them too early, they should all be able to make it to the second half. There's still plenty of time from beginning to end. You can make it in time once you've finished your work at the breeding center."

The voice, tinged with disappointment, said in a dialectal tone, "That's all we can do."

"Should I pull some strings behind the scenes to prevent them from meeting prematurely?"

Shirona raised an eyebrow at Fang Yan.

"How can you do this? Aren't you the organizer? Shouldn't you be fair and impartial?"

"They just manipulated the game to prevent them from facing each other. How is that unfair? The final champion will always be the strongest one. No matter how the matches are arranged, the strongest player will always advance to the next round. So, manipulation doesn't affect the outcome."

Cynthia leaned back in her chair, shrugged at the screen, and wore a nonchalant expression on her delicate face.

That makes sense, doesn't it?

I was speechless.

"By the way, this time a trainer brought Heatran to the tournament."

Cynthia remembered the report Wusong had given her, which mentioned that a trainer had brought the legendary volcanic beast "Soldieron" to register. She also remembered what Fang Yan had mentioned to her, so she mentioned it to Fang Yan.

"Heatland? A trainer actually brought it to the Lily of the Valley Tournament?"

Fang Yan exclaimed in surprise.

I initially thought what appeared on screen was just a spur-of-the-moment idea from the planners, something fancy, but it turns out it actually happened.

"Just Sidson."

Cynthia disagreed.

When I went back to Midina last time, that guy named Kishin also had a Heatran, which Garchomp took down in no time.

There is nothing to fear.

Are there any other legendary Pokémon participating?

Cynthia pursed her lips, pressed her slender fingers against her temples, thought for a moment, and then shook her head. "I haven't seen it yet."

Seeing this, Fang Yan didn't ask any further questions, but he still had one very curious question: "Doesn't the League ban these legendary Pokémon from participating?"

Cynthia shook her head. "Legendary Pokémon are strong, but being able to catch a legendary Pokémon means that the trainer has unique strengths. Besides, a legendary Pokémon is still a Pokémon. As long as it's a Pokémon, it can participate in the competition."

"Furthermore, a truly powerful trainer is not someone who can achieve that solely through the strength of their Pokémon."

"Sometimes, commanding these legendary Pokémon can be more tiring than commanding ordinary Pokémon."

At this point, Cynthia suddenly clenched her fist. "Besides, even if it's a so-called legendary Pokémon, I won't lose."

Cynthia said with a smile.

As expected of Miss Zhu Lan, she's so domineering.

After chatting with Cynthia about other topics for a while, Cynthia hung up the phone and headed to the venue for the Lily of the Valley Conference.

At this moment, Mrs. Fujino rode in on her goat.

"How is the situation?"

Fang Yan stood up and stepped forward to help take the things that Mrs. Fujino was carrying.

"The supermarket has been completely emptied."

Mrs. Fujino dismounted from her goat mount and began to speak.

The goat I was riding walked back to the backyard on its own.

"Miss Officer Jenny and the others have already arranged for people to take precautions in advance, so there shouldn't be any problems in Twinleaf Town."

Mrs. Fujino continued, "Don't worry, Manager. It's normal for typhoons to hit Futaba Town. It's just that this typhoon is a bit bigger."

"I asked Miss Joy at the Elf Center, and she said the typhoon should be over by tomorrow."

Fang Yan nodded. The weather forecast in this world is even worse than in his previous life.

They only started issuing notices when the typhoon was almost upon Shuangye Town.

"The Pokémon of the forest have returned to the forest."

Mr. Fujino came out from behind the counter and said, "I went to the cave and discussed it with Steelix as you suggested. We let some Pokémon in poor condition hide in the cave and left them some food. They should be able to survive until the typhoon passes by tomorrow."

"As for the other Pokémon, they are relatively adept at dealing with typhoon weather."

Fang Yan nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work. Now let's start reinforcing our breeding house."

"well."

Fang Yan led the two of them, along with Gengar and the others, to the backyard to reinforce some easily damaged facilities.

Fang Yan looked at the flowers in the flowerbed, which were bent low by the wind, and sighed, "I wonder how many will be left after this typhoon passes."

After finishing his work, Fang Yan went to the beehive. Seeing the three bees busily carrying Sweetie back into the hive, Fang Yan quickly went over to help.

After everything was finished, Fang Yan breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the Queen Bee. "Queen Bee, would you like to come back to the nursery with me? Or do you want to stay in the hive?"

Without hesitation, the queen bee chose to stay in the hive.

The queen bee will only stay in her own hive.

Fang Yan nodded. "Okay, I'll have Gengar bring you some food later. You can stay in the hive with the three bees. I also had Dali and the others reinforce the hive's entrance to prevent it from being blown away by the typhoon."

The queen bee nodded.

Fangyan left the hive, made arrangements, and returned to the nursery.

"We'll be busy again after the typhoon passes."

Fang Yan sighed.

"There's nothing we can do about natural disasters."

Mrs. Fujino was tidying up the breeding house, making room for some Pokémon to come in and take shelter from the wind and rain.

"I'm back."

Shana ran in from outside, followed by Tomoyo and Miss Gothic.

"Goethe".

The cabin has been arranged.

"Thanks for your hard work."

He looked at Tomoyo behind Shana, "Why is Tomoyo here today too?"

Holding the miniature dragon egg in her arms, Tomoyo spoke in a clear voice, "Uncle, my mom and dad aren't home today. Can I stay here? I'm scared."

"Are Mom and Dad not home?"

Fang Yan was taken aback. The Yuan family couple weren't home today?

"Of course you can! How about you sleep with Shana tonight?"

"Okay, thank you, Uncle."

Tomoyo grinned.

After all the Pokémon in the breeding house returned, a bolt of lightning flashed and a torrential downpour began.

Then came the howling wind, a mournful whine.

Fang Yan walked to the door, glanced at it, and saw that the dark sky filled him with a sense of oppression.

Fang Yan glanced at the Gengar that had drifted to his side and was almost blown away by the wind, then reached out and pulled it back before closing the door of the breeding house.

"A typhoon is coming."

For the rest of the time, Fang Yan and the others, along with the Pokémon, sat in the rest area watching TV, while Shana and Tomoyo sat in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking outside.

Wind Chime perched on Shana's head, while Tomoyo held a miniature dragon egg in her arms.

The two were intently watching outside, observing the rainwater gathering into streams that flowed south from Masago Town toward Futaba Town, turning a golden yellow as it was washed away by the sandy soil of the breeding route.

Numerous fragments and branches flew through the air, occasionally hitting the eaves of the breeding shed with a thud.

Many more muke birds were unable to escape and were carried away by the gale.

There are also stinging insects that use silk to bind themselves firmly to trees, flying away with the uprooted trees.

Besides rain, tree branches, and stones, the sky also contained the silhouettes of many Pokémon.

In this kind of weather, there's nothing anyone or any Pokémon can do to help.

Fang Yan turned his head and saw that Shana and Tomoyo had their faces pressed tightly against the glass, making them look like big pancakes.

It seems little Shana really likes the rain.

Fang Yan thought to himself.

Every time it rains, she sits in front of the French windows and looks outside.

At this moment, the TV started flickering.

The lights inside the breeding house also started to flicker.

Shana and Tomoyo turned around, looking puzzled.

Immediately afterwards, the breeding house was plunged into darkness.

"As expected, the power went out."

Fang Yan looked at the nursery that was without power, said something, and then asked Gengar to use Will-O-Wisp to light it up.

puff.

Will-o'-the-wisps lit up.

The breeding house was instantly controlled by the eerie light of the flames.

A stinging beetle that had come seeking help was so frightened by the eerie light emanating from the nursery that it forgot to spin its silk and was blown away by the wind.

Scorpion Beetle: Something's fishy!!!

The people in the breeding house were already used to will-o'-the-wisps, so Miss Goth took the opportunity to take out the candle she had bought in Twinleaf Town and lit it.

Other people's candles have golden flames.

The candles in the nursery have a blue-purple or grayish-white flame.

The former is Gengar's Will-O-Wisp, and the latter is Rapidash's Flame.

The entire breeding house was bathed in an indescribable light.

The pungent smell of burning candles evoked a sense of nostalgia in the dialect.

It seems like it's been a long time since I've burned candles. I remember when I was a child, we would burn candles after a typhoon and the power went out, and we would also light oil lamps during the Lunar New Year.

Unfortunately, as I grew up, I rarely had the chance to burn candles anymore.

Fang Yan beckoned Shana and Tomoyo over, then placed his hand next to the candle, casting a shadow on the wall that looked like a puppy.

"Hello, my name is Geng Gougou, it's nice to meet you all."

Then the gesture changed, transforming into a rabbit.

"Hello everyone, my name is Qun'er Little Rabbit, and it's nice to meet you all too~"

Next came a small bird.

"I'm Gothic Bird, nice to meet you all~"

Shana and Tomoyo stared at the shadows on the wall with bright eyes.

With the addition of dialect narration, even Gengar and the others were drawn in.

"Want to give it a try?"

"Mmm!" "Yes!" "Kou Jie!" "La Ji~" "God." ————

Fang Yan was a little surprised to see that everyone and the Pokémon present wanted to try it; he hadn't expected them all to want to play.

Fang Yan smiled and began to instruct the group.

For the rest of the time, until mealtime, the walls of the enclosure transformed into an animal world, filled with hunting and frolicking.

"Little Tomoyo, I'm Big Tiger, I'm going to eat you."

"No, I'm a little rabbit, I'm quick!"

"Laji~"

Gengar, I'm the Big Bad Wolf, here I come!

"Kou Jie Yi"

Don't come any closer!

Fang Yan looked at the scene before him and laughed silently.

Indeed, children should play with things that children should play with.

Fang Yan took out his camera and took a picture.

Outside the breeding house.

A strong wind is recklessly destroying everything around it. But whenever it approaches the breeding pens, there is always a force that tames them and blows them away.

The breeding house only experiences rain, not wind.

Oh, and there was laughter and joy.
