Pokémon: All About the Breeding House

Chapter 393 Uncle Daigo and the Pink Dratini

"Then I'll entrust the baby alligator to you."

Fang Yan handed the baby crocodile's egg to the little girl in front of him and said with a smile.

"Yes, I will take good care of it."

The little girl looked at the Pokémon egg in her arms and spoke in a clear, crisp voice.

It's better to spend quality time with it.

Fang Yan thought to himself.

After taking the little girl and her family out of the nursery, he returned to the rest area.

As soon as I lay down, a pair of hands were placed on my shoulders, massaging them.

Fang Yan squinted his eyes comfortably.

"Laji?"

Should we close? Or should we wait a little longer?

Miss Skirt's voice made Fang Yan open his eyes. He glanced at the time and said, "It's so late, there probably won't be anyone coming to buy Pokémon eggs. Let's close up shop and have dinner."

Miss Skirt nodded, then ran to the door to retrieve the sign indicating business, carried all the wooden signs back to the breeding house, called out "Monini," and after Monini led the Super Meow Meow siblings back from the dining hall to the breeding house, she closed the door.

"Uncle, when can we go watch the game?"

Shana's cheeks were bulging out like a groundhog as she asked in dialect.

"A competition? The Lily of the Valley Tournament?"

Fang Yan drank a bowl of mushroom soup, finding it incredibly delicious. After taking a breath, he said, "Let's see how business is in a couple of days. If it's stable, we'll go watch the game, what do you say?"

"Okay."

"Um.

Shana and Tomoyo obediently lowered their heads and drank their mushroom soup. Fang Yan smiled to himself upon seeing this.

Let's hurry up and finish this busy work, then I'll take them to see the Lily of the Valley Festival and let them experience it beforehand.

I had originally planned to watch the opening ceremony of the Lily of the Valley Convention on TV, but the phone only came back on last night, and by the time I finished, it was already past midnight.

Pity.

I should be able to catch up with Ash and his friends' battle, right?

Fang Yan was thinking to himself as he drank the mushroom soup.

Springtime bamboo shoot and mushroom soup is so delicious!

Everyone in the breeding center and the Pokémon remained silent, heads down, eating their meals.

After finishing their meal, Fang Yan sat in the rest area, watching the replay of today's Lily of the Valley Conference with Gengar, Shana, Tomoyo, and the Fujino couple.

The once spacious rest area was suddenly filled with people.

All the Pokémon from the backyard of the breeding center came over.

Laplace and her siblings, Golduck, Scorpion King, Marill, and even Miltank and his goat mount came over.

Tomoyo was holding a Munchlax in her arms, Munchlax was holding a Dratini egg in its arms, and Shana was holding a Snorunt in her arms, all of them intently watching the TV.

Alcremie and Meowth thoughtfully brought out a bunch of snacks from the kitchen and shared some with everyone and every Pokémon.

The cracking sound was incessant.

"So they're watching the replay now?"

Cynthia spoke on the screen.

"Yes, I didn't expect them to like the Lily of the Valley Festival so much, especially yesterday's opening ceremony. The electricity didn't come back on until late at night, and they stayed up until the early hours of the morning before they finally went to sleep. Thank you."

Fang Yan spoke, took the honey water from the fairy, and smiled as she said thank you.

Cynthia couldn't help but chuckle softly, her laughter as melodious as silver bells.

"Bring them over when you're done with your work. I've saved you seats."

"Yes."

Fang Yan nodded, glanced at the TV, and asked, "Is today the round of 64?"

"Yes, tomorrow is the round of 32, and it won't be long before we find the top four."

Cynthia spoke up.

"Who do you think will be the four finalists?"

Cynthia suddenly wanted to hear Fang Yan's opinion and asked.

"Ash, Gary, Paul, and that guy named—Darkor, right?"

Fang Yan looked at the screen and saw a man directing Darkrai to shut out the opponent, and spoke without hesitation.

"You really didn't hesitate at all. Are you that confident in them?"

Confident? No, this is scripted.

"Darkdor—I think he's a trainer who uses Darkrai, right?"

"Yes, he also has a Latios, the little blue plane."

"Latios? How did you know?"

Cynthia looked at Fang Yan with suspicion.

Fang Yan said matter-of-factly, "You forgot, its sister is with me."

"Oh, so Brother Latias is that Latios? I see—"

Cynthia remembered that Latios had told her about his brother Latios, so she quickly accepted the dialect explanation.

Latias, standing to the side: ? ? ? Did I say that?

I think so? I can't remember.

That awful brother! I'll definitely beat you up when I get the chance!

"Uncle, that Pokémon is the same as the one that often comes to our breeding center."

Fang Yan followed Shana's finger and saw that she was pointing at Darkrai of Darkrai.

"That Pokémon is called Darkrai. You can only approach the one that comes to visit the nursery. If you encounter any other Darkrai outside, you must stay far away, or you'll have nightmares."

"oh."

Shana gave a crisp "oh".

"Then why do you have nightmares?"

Tomoyo asked a question.

"Hmm—that's its characteristic; it causes both humans and Pokémon to have nightmares, hence its nickname, the Nightmare God."

"I know," Shana raised her hand. "Uncle Lugia was also called the Sea God by my uncle. So, Uncle, is the Nightmare God more powerful or the Sea God?"

Lugia — Uncle?

Fang Yan barely suppressed a laugh; that's so Shana.

Then, in a serious tone, he replied, "If it's the Darkrai from TV, Lugia could beat it up. But if it's the Darkrai that often visits our breeding center, Lugia would be stronger."

"Uncle Lugia is actually this amazing! I thought he was just a braggart."

Shana muttered something.

On the screen, Cynthia, hearing Shana's mutterings, laughed so hard she could barely breathe. "Wouldn't Lugia be angry if it knew it was being called 'uncle'?"

"It dares!"

Lugia is already being called "uncle," and he still wants to run away?

After chatting with Cynthia for a while, Cynthia prepared to hang up the phone and go take a shower.

"By the way, Grandma really likes the fresh milk and goat milk from the nursery. If you have any extra, could you sell her some more?"

"No problem, I'll have Mk Eagle deliver it to Grandma tomorrow."

"No need, you know Grandma's personality. She definitely won't want it if you give it to her."

"Too."

"I'm going to take a shower now."

"Are you being too formal?"

Upon hearing this, Cynthia stopped what she was doing, placed her right index finger on her chin, and hesitated.

"Hmm, or else—"

Fang Yan swallowed hard.

Could it be that...?

"Why don't you ask them?"

Then the screen shook, and two faces suddenly appeared on the screen.

Garchomp and Lucario.

"Awoo?"

"Kah?"

Fang Yan swallowed again. "That's all for now. I'm going to milk Grandma. Bye-bye."

The call was ended in a flash, using a dialect.

"coward."

Cynthia looked at the phone that had been hung up and said something.

After hanging up the phone, Fang Yan reached out and grabbed Nine-Tails' tail, starting to stroke it. Then, looking at the little Snorlax on Tomoyo's lap, he was worried that her legs couldn't take it.

But when you look at Tomoyo's little face, she doesn't change her expression at all, and she can even lift the little Snorlax up a bit. Although she can't compare to Shana, she is still extraordinary.

Shana and Gengar both responded with an "oh".

Fang Yan looked at the TV and saw that it was Ash's battle.

So he snatched the sausage that Gengar had just gotten, broke it in half and fed it to Ninetales, while he ate the other half and watched Ash battle.

Gengar stared blankly at its empty little hands.

???

You're not human!

Then it snatched Kairos's sausage and began to eat it with relish.

Kairos: ? ? ? Enraged!

It looked around, wondering if it could steal someone's sausage. After looking around, it quietly retreated to its seat and licked its fingers.

I don't like sausages at all!

snort!

Aside from the Kitchen Team, which it can defeat, it can't beat any of the other Pokémon.

But the kitchen team didn't dare to lay a hand on it—not to mention, if it dared to steal, it would go hungry for a day tomorrow.

He had experienced something like this before.

"Hey, Ash should be able to win, right?"

Mrs. Fujino watched Ash's Tauros being defeated on TV and became worried, stopping the stroking of Zoroa in her arms.

"That's how Ash's battles are; he always relies on the last one or two Pokémon to turn the tide. Don't worry."

Dialect comforted Mrs. Fujino.

As expected, Ash won against his opponent with the return of Heracross and Pidgeot.

The people at the breeding center and the Pokémon didn't even have time to cheer, because the next match was between Shinji and Gary, and the match after that was between Gary and Gary.

Like Shinji, Shigeru defeated his opponent in a simple and straightforward way.

Just then, the phone rang in dialect.

After all three won their battles, the breeding house cheered.

Dali watched with fervor, then suddenly swung his fist at the wall.

Fang Yan, who was on the phone, was so frightened by what she saw that her heart nearly jumped out of her chest.

"Stop it right now!"

The dialect speaker extends their hand.

Fortunately, Miss Goth reacted quickly, came to Dali, and opened her mental shield.

Even though Dali managed to control his strength, he still managed to send Miss Goth flying with a single punch, thanks to the shield Miss Goth had deployed.

Fang Yan breathed a sigh of relief, thank goodness.

No, Miss Gothic!

Miss Skirt and Roseradore arrived at its side immediately and found that it was not seriously injured.

"Dali, now, get out and face the wall for two hours to reflect on your actions!"

The dialect speaker pointed to the backyard.

Dali kept his head down.

"Cough."

Yes.

"—Forget it, let's skip it."

"Cough."

No, I'll go, it's inevitable.

"Then let's make it half an hour."

"Cough."

The rest of the people and Pokémon only glanced at it before turning their attention back to the television.

Only then did Fang Yan have time to continue talking to Daigo on the other end of the phone.

"Manager with dialect accent, what happened at the animal nursery?"

Hearing the inquiry from the other end of the phone, Fang Yan sighed wearily, "It's nothing much, it's just that Dali got so excited while watching the Lily of the Valley competition that he almost demolished the breeding house."

Daigo, sitting opposite him, couldn't help but laugh after hearing this. "The League Tournament always gets people excited, doesn't it?"

"So, Daigo, what's up with calling me?"

"I'm back from Carlos and I'm planning to go to the animal shelter to rest for a bit. Is that alright?"

"No problem, you can come anytime."

"Thank you so much, Manager Fangyan. I was wondering what to do if you weren't at the breeding center during the Lily of the Valley Festival. Oh, you're not going to watch the festival?"

"It's not that I'm not going, it's just that these days are the peak season for spring travel, and the breeding center is too busy. I'll go there once things calm down a bit."

"So that's how it is."

"Actually, you can come over whether I'm at the nursery or not, as long as you want to come and rest, provided you don't mind the noisy wild Pokémon in the nursery's backyard."

"Look at Wataru and the others, it doesn't matter to them whether I'm at the nursery or not. They can come whenever they want, they're just here to enjoy their time and have some tea. It doesn't matter whether I'm here or not. Rather than visiting the nursery, they're just enjoying their own time there."

"Besides, the Alcremie and the others are in the nursery, which is enough for them."

"So that's how it is."

Daigo across from him laughed, "After all, Alcremie's desserts are truly exceptional."

"That's right, so feel free to come over next time you want. We're friends, aren't we?"

"Then I shall respectfully comply."

Just then, Daigo landed on the ground. "I've arrived, Manager Fangyan."

???

Fang Yan got up and opened the door, and saw Dai Wu, with blue hair and wearing a suit, still in the position of answering the phone.

"So you were already on your way here a while ago."

"7

Dawu smiled gracefully.

"We should always give them a heads-up beforehand."

"That's way too early; you only called after you'd already arrived."

Daigo laughed.

Fang Yan welcomed him and the Metagross inside.

"Uncle Daigo!"

Shana still remembers Steven, after all, he gave her an evolution stone on her birthday, Chimecho's Mega Evolution Stone.

Dawu——Uncle————

Daigo suddenly felt a sharp pain in his heart.

Am I already old?

"Laji~"

Drinking tea~

"Thank you, Miss Skirt."

Daigo took the tea from Miss Skirt and sat down next to Fang Yan. "Is this a replay of the Lily of the Valley Festival?"

Fang Yan nodded, "I don't have time to go over there, I can only watch the replay."

Daigo nodded and then took a sip of tea.

"Did Uncle Daigo dig up any rare stones in Carlos this time?"

Hearing someone call him "uncle" in dialect, Daigo said helplessly, "Stop messing around."

"Unfortunately, these are all ordinary stones."

Daigo spoke up, "Do you want it? I can give it to you, an evolution stone."

"May I?"

"These are just some very ordinary evolution stones, but I can give them to you to sell. Anyway, I don't need them. If you want them, you can have them all."

""

After saying that, Daigo poured a bunch of evolution stones out of his bag.

Fire Stone, Thunder Stone —

A dozen or so yuan.

dialect:----

No wonder he's a rich kid —

"Isn't this a bit inappropriate?"

Fang Yan felt a bit thirsty looking at all those evolution stones.

"You don't want it? If you don't want it, then I'll take it back and give it away."

Daigo reached out to retrieve the evolution stones, but a pair of hands, even faster than his, collected them all.

"Kou Jie~"

I won't be polite then~

Daigo smiled helplessly.

"Card."

The little Snorlax felt the Pokémon egg in its arms shake, and it nervously looked at Tomoyo, who was holding it.

Tomoyo:? ? ?

The little Snorlax pointed to the Dratini egg in its arms and said, "Snorlax."

It moved.

Upon hearing Munchlax's words, Fang Yan looked over and noticed that the Pokémon egg in Munchlax's arms was shaking. He walked over to it.

"Congratulations, Tomoyo! Your Dratini is coming out!"

Fang Yan patted Zhi Shi's head, then took the Pokémon egg from Munchlax's arms and placed it on the counter.

Upon hearing that Dratini was about to hatch, everyone and all the Pokémon stopped watching TV and gathered around the counter.

Even Daigo was caught up in the atmosphere and gathered around.

Gengar floated in the air, holding a camera, and started recording.

The Pokémon egg shook.

Stop making any noise.

Shake again.

Click~

Cracks have appeared.

The cracks are getting bigger and bigger.

Tomoyo held Shana's hand tightly, and Shana patted the back of Tomoyo's hand to comfort her.

Click—

A pink miniature dragon emerged from its shell and looked shyly at Tomoyo and the others.

"It's pink."

Shana opened her mouth wide in surprise.

A pink Dratini? A shiny Dratini?!

"Different colors?"

Daigo was also somewhat shocked.

Tomoyo looked at the pink miniature dragon that had hatched, and it was so cute that it touched her heart.

"Say hello, Tomoyo."

A dialect voice gently sounded in Tomoyo's ear.

"Hello, Dratini, my name is Tomoyo, nice to meet you."

"Mystery~"

Nihao~ (^o^)/

Can a sparkling flower hatch from a single incubation?

Fang Yan looked at Tomoyo and Shana.

One shiny Rapidash, one shiny Dratini.

One shiny Pokémon per person?
