Pokémon: All About the Breeding House

Chapter 450 Pokémon Food Therapist? Am I going to become a Pokémon Professor too? (6k)

"How about I trade this breeding shed for your research institute?"

Fang Yan smiled and asked after hearing Professor Oak's words.

"You've got some pretty good ideas. How big is your animal enclosure?"

"About a thousand acres."

"My research institute covers tens of thousands of acres; you dare to think of anything?"

Professor Oak's lips twitched as he looked at Fang Yan, marveling at Fang Yan's shamelessness.

"I thought you were too old to agree by accident, but you still didn't agree?"

"I may be old, but I'm not stupid."

Professor Oak glared at Fang Yan, "Shameless."

"Goblin!"

Exactly, shameless!

Gengar made a face at the dialect.

This made everyone present burst into laughter.

Fang Yan led Professor Oak and the others to the garden and sat down. Miss Gothic floated over with several pots of tea, including hot tea that Fang Yan often drank, milk tea, honey water, and Grancidia flower tea that Miss Gothic had just developed.

Fang Yan really didn't expect that Grancidia flowers could be used to make tea. It has a light, sweet taste and is quite refreshing.

It must be said that the Grancidia flower, under Miss Gothic's control, had its value exploited to the extreme.

Aromatherapy, herbal tea, what's next? Soap?

"What would you like to drink? We have hot tea, milk tea, sweet honey water, and the Grancidia flower tea that we just recently developed."

"Grancitia Flower Tea"

Without the slightest hesitation, Cynthia wanted to try anything that the breeding center had newly researched.

"You can even grow Gracilaria flowers in your animal nursery? I remember Gracilaria is a flower of gratitude, right?"

Professor Oak pondered for a moment, then spoke.

"That's right. It's probably because our nursery is so beloved by the shrine that it has bestowed its blessing upon us, which is why the Grancidia flowers can bloom in our nursery."

"Shrabah!"

Professor Oak sighed, recalling his own childhood adventure with Ash and Pikachu—

"Can Gramcidia flowers be used to make tea?"

Dr. Yamanashi looked with some curiosity at the Grancidia flower tea that Miss Gothic poured for Cynthia and asked.

"It was developed by Miss Goethe. As you know, Doctor, Miss Goethe is very interested in researching these things. The Grancidia flower tea she developed has a refreshing effect and is very suitable for drinking when you are tired from work."

The dialect explained.

Upon hearing this, Dr. Yamanashi looked at Miss Gothic floating beside him and said, "I guess only Miss Gothic could possess such excellent knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine."

"Goethe".

Thank you for the compliment.

Miss Gothic heard Dr. Yamanashi praising her and politely thanked him.

"I've had hot tea before, you gave it to me back then, and I quite liked it. But I've never had milk tea, honey water, or Grancidia flower tea. I heard Dr. Yamanashi say that the sweetness in the nursery seems to have a unique flavor, but I'm also very curious about the taste of Grancidia flowers."

Professor Oak was caught in a dilemma.

"Then...shall we try them all?"

"May I?"

"Of course, Miss Goth, thank you for your trouble."

Miss Gothic nodded, used her mental powers to arrange the cups in front of her, then poured different teas into the different cups before placing them in front of Professor Oak.

"Goethe".

Please enjoy.

"Thank you so much."

"Then I'll try Grancidia flower tea, please, Miss Goth."

Dr. Yamanashi began to speak.

Miss Goth nodded in agreement and poured Dr. Yamanashi a cup of herbal tea.

Professor Oak first tried the milk tea, and his eyes lit up after drinking it. "Is the milk tea made with MooMoo fresh milk?"

Fang Yan nodded. "That's right, and there's also fresh goat milk from the mountain goats we ride. I've blended these two types of milk in the right proportions to create the perfect Nursery House Milk Tea. This milk tea is a hot seller in Futaba Town and Masago Town."

The dialect was explained.

"Another point to note is that both Moo Moo milk and fresh goat milk are produced by the large milk tankers and riding goats raised in our breeding house, and the daily amount is limited."

The breeding center's delivery service is now expanding to Masago Town, but there isn't enough manpower, so the delivery speed to Masago Town will be much slower.

After all, Sandstone Town is much bigger than Twinleaf Town, and we can solve this problem by hiring a few more Pokémon later.

"good."

Professor Oak nodded, then picked up the honey water and took a sip, the sweetness instantly filling his heart.

Professor Oak's eyes widened again. "This sweetness—it's really eased my fatigue from coming from the Unova region—"

"These are all sweet bees brewed by the queen bees in the breeding house. Based on the sweetness and some special effects, I have divided the sweet bees brewed by them into different quality grades. The higher the grade, the rarer it is and the better the flavor."

Hearing the dialect's explanation, Professor Oak became very curious. "Can I see the different qualities of Sweetie?"

Fang Yan nodded, then turned around and took a deep breath towards the forest area: "Queen Bee!"

After a while, a yellow figure flapped its wings and flew over.

"Compare?"

What do you want me to do?

"This is Professor Oak from Pallet Town, a senior I greatly respect. He'd like to try your various types of sweetness, is that alright?"

The Queen Bee glanced at Professor Oak and nodded.

"Compare."

wait.

Then it turned around and flew back towards the hive.

"This queen bee is very well bred."

Professor Yamanashi was also seeing the Queen Bee for the first time. After the Queen Bee left, he exclaimed, "You have such a beautiful and noble demeanor. I really don't know where you learned your breeding techniques. It seems like you've bred so many Pokémon very well."

He grinned, revealing his dialect.

There are no special cultivation techniques; it's simply about having a good environment and giving your love.

"Some people show exceptional talent in battles, such as regional champions, while others show exceptional talent in Pokémon breeding, becoming world-renowned at a young age. We collectively call these people geniuses."

Professor Oak finished his honey water and then spoke.

"Clearly, dialects also belong to this category."

"I agree, Miss Goth. Could I have another cup of herbal tea? It's quite delicious."

As soon as Dr. Yamanashi finished speaking, he filled the cup in his hand with flower tea.

"Goethe".

Miss Gothic said something to Dr. Yamanashi.

"What does Miss Gothic want to tell me?"

Dr. Yamanashi looked puzzled.

"Miss Goethe said that if you like, Doctor, she can pack some herbal tea for you to take back to the research institute, and you can brew some to drink whenever you want."

I translated it into dialect.

"May I?"

Dr. Yamanashi was flattered.

"Of course, Miss Flower Tea Goth just happened to have prepared a bit too much."

"Then I shall respectfully comply."

"When you go back, I'll have Miss Goth pack some more for you."

Dr. Yamanashi nodded.

At this moment, Professor Oak also picked up the flower tea, took a sip, and clicked his tongue. "It tastes pretty good. It has a floral fragrance and a light sweetness. After drinking it, I feel more energetic."

After finishing his tea, Professor Oak drank it all in one gulp and then said, "But personally, I might prefer sweet honey water; I have a sweet tooth."

"How about I have the Queen Bee pack some sweets for you to take back to the research institute when she comes over later?"

"Haha, then I won't be polite."

While waiting for the Queen Bee, Professor Oak pulled Gothic aside to discuss knowledge about Chinese herbal medicine, and Fang Yan took the opportunity to whisper to Gothic sitting next to him.

Have you had breakfast yet?

"No, I rushed back to Professor Yamanashi's lab from the Alola region this morning and just happened to see Professor Yamanashi and Professor Oak having breakfast and discussing some knowledge about Pokémon research. So I went over and asked them some questions about Pokémon mythology and history. After asking them, at Professor Oak's suggestion, we came to the breeding center together."

Cynthia leaned closer to the dialect and explained in a low voice.

Feeling the delicate fragrance, different from the scent of Grancidia flowers, surrounding his nose, and with the hot breath still pattering on his face, Fang Yan was momentarily stunned. Staring at the almost perfect face in front of him, he couldn't resist and gave Cynthia a kiss on the cheek.

Cynthia's face turned red at a visible speed.

Professor Oak, standing nearby, exclaimed, "Wow—!"

Dr. Yamanashi: "Ahem, Yukinari, are we disturbing them here?"

Miss Goth: Well done!

Miss Skirt, not far away: Dialect, the best!

The Hawk in the Tree: Happy New Year!

The Garchomp standing nearby thought: "If you dare to kiss my cabbage right in front of me, what will you do if I'm not around? I'll smash you to death!"

Gengar grabbed Garchomp's arm, its little face turning red, and kept backing away.

"Kou Jie"

No, Garchomp, it's really not that bad. He doesn't deserve to die! No! Please let him go!

"Are you asking for it?!"

Cynthia forced herself to remain calm and glared at Fang Yan.

dialect:----

It's over —

"I—I—it's all your fault for being so beautiful, I couldn't help myself."

The dialect used to turn the tables.

Cynthia: ? ? ?

"Since you won't kiss me, then I'll just kiss you."

They spoke in hushed tones in their dialect.

Cynthia: "Couldn't you have waited until no one was around before kissing me?"

dialect:!

Does that mean I can still kiss?

"Next time for sure?"

"That's quite a dream."

"Ahem, Dr. Yamanashi, I think we should leave first."

As Professor Oak finished speaking and was about to stand up, he saw the Queen Bee leading three bees carrying Sweetie flying over.

The queen bee instructed the three bees to place Sweetie on the table, and then curiously glanced at everyone.

Why does it feel like the atmosphere here suddenly changed so soon after I left?

"Professor Oak, would you like to give it a try?"

Fang Yan was incredibly shameless; far from being shy, he was instead filled with joy and excitement.

My sweetheart said I can kiss her again next time.

"So many?"

Professor Oak was stunned by the sweetness before him. He had originally thought that there were only two or three different qualities in the dialect, but he didn't expect there to be so many.

"Our queen bee is very hardworking and capable, which is why she can produce so many delicious sweet bees."

Fang Yan subtly praised the queen bee.

The queen bee squinted her eyes in satisfaction.

The queen bee has a bad habit: she really likes to be praised in dialects, but no one else can.

This also means that its sweetness is often tricked by the dialect.

"Oh, by the way, Queen Bee, Professor Oak really likes your Sweetie, could you give him some?"

Professor Oak looked at the Queen Bee, who, without hesitation, swung her claws.

"Compare."

These were originally given to him; if that wasn't enough, there were more in the beehive, and the bearded human next to him also had some.

Bearded humans?

"His name is Dr. Yamanashi."

Fang Yan whispered something, then looked at Professor Oak, "Professor Oak, the Queen Bee said these are all for you, Professor Yamanashi also has some."

"Oh dear, I'm so sorry, thank you Queen Bee. At this moment, I can't help but compose a poem for Queen Bee—"

"Xuecheng, there's no need for that."

Professor Yamanashi immediately covered Professor Oak's mouth with his hand, "Let's eat honey first, let's eat honey first."

While Professor Oak and Professor Yamanashi were enjoying the honey, Fang Yan turned to look at Cynthia beside him, leaned close to her ear, and whispered, "There's bread and cakes made by Alcremie in the kitchen. Go and eat some first to tide you over. I'll have Gengar go to the forest to dig up some bamboo shoots for you at noon so I can make you something delicious."

Cynthia's eyes lit up, but she whispered to Fang Yan, "This isn't a good idea, Professor Oak and Professor Yamanashi are both here."

"It's alright, leave this to me. You can go to the kitchen to eat and then come back, or you can go to the rest area to chat with Karuni."

Cynthia hesitated for a moment, then stood up to say goodbye to Professor Oak and Professor Yamanashi before heading towards the kitchen with Garchomp.

"Indeed, different qualities produce different flavors. You truly deserve to be called the Queen Bee. You are the best Queen Bee I have ever seen at brewing sweet products."

After tasting all the sweet treats, Professor Oak sat down contentedly in his chair and gave the Queen Bee a thumbs-up.

The queen bee bowed gracefully in gratitude.

"This must be the food therapy you mentioned last time, right? It involves processing the ingredients in your breeding house and then making them into delicious food that can heal."

Professor Oak looked at Fang Yan and asked.

He could feel the magical power contained in the various delicacies that the dialect provided him with—it had an invigorating effect, a restorative effect, and a blissful effect.

"Because I've always believed that food is the key to unlocking everyone's heart."

Fang Yan briefly explained to Professor Oak and Professor Yamanashi the effects of food made in his breeding house by combining Chinese herbs, sweet, MooMoo milk, and fresh goat milk. He also shared some cases of Pokémon that had healed emotionally traumatized.

"That's really amazing. By the way, don't you also have traditional Chinese medicine and herbal tea at your animal nursery? Can I try some?"

Hearing Professor Oak's words, Fang Yan was very puzzled. Could he really drink it?

However, he nodded and then asked Miss Goth to prepare some herbal tea and Chinese medicine.

Before long, Miss Gothic placed some common herbal teas and Chinese medicines on the table, and Fang Yan introduced the basic effects of these herbal teas and Chinese medicines to Professor Oak and Professor Yamanashi.

Professor Oak picked up a cup of iced tea, took a big gulp, and said, "It's a bit bitter, but also has a slightly sweet aftertaste."

"That's because I added some sweetness."

"I see."

After introducing the herbal tea, the group sat down again, and Professor Oak inquired about the outdoor delivery service from Fang Yan.

"Actually, I didn't plan to open this service at first, but last winter, Futaba Town had a lot of snow, making it very inconvenient to travel. Many uncles, aunts, grandfathers and grandmothers in the town needed herbal tea or Chinese medicine to relieve and heal their chronic ailments. Although Futaba Town is not very far from our breeding house."

Fang Yan paused for a moment, then continued, "But it's still very dangerous on roads covered in snow, so I thought I'd ask the Pokémon at the breeding center to help with deliveries if they could, and that's how this delivery service started."

"However, the delivery service has been quite effective. Our breeding center has made money, and the lives of the residents of Twinleaf Town have become more convenient. Most importantly, the people of Twinleaf Town are much more accepting of the Pokémon from the breeding center. Now, even if the Pokémon from the delivery service don't come to Twinleaf Town, but just some wild Pokémon from the breeding center, or even non-wild Pokémon, as long as they don't cause trouble or damage things, the people of Twinleaf Town will let them live in the city. Some children even dare to play with them."

"Then these wild Pokémon will also help the residents of Twinleaf Town in certain situations, such as picking up packages, delivering mail, and some will help Officer Jenny patrol and fight off Pokémon that like to cause destruction."

"I know that. For example, the Shrike and the Mongoose Claw, with the help of dialects, reached a cooperation agreement with Officer Jenny in Futaba Town and Masago Town. Currently, the crime rate in Futaba Town and Masago Town has dropped significantly."

Dr. Yamanashi interjected and spoke up.

Professor Oak listened quietly and then asked, "Can Scyther and Zangoose cooperate? I remember they weren't mortal enemies?"

""

Fang Yan quickly explained, "I separated them, placing them in Masago Town and Futaba Town respectively. As for their fighting, I made a one-year agreement with them. Every year, on a specific day, I will set up a tournament for them, and they will fight on the stage until a winner is chosen."

"Just tell them that insulting each other is no more satisfying than killing each other, and once they both know that they can belittle each other every year, they will agree."

"What if the losing side doesn't admit defeat?"

Fang Yan grinned upon hearing this, "Don't admit it? Putting aside the fact that there are so many people and Pokémon around acting as spectators, and whether they have any shame, let's not even talk about the fact that the Pokémon in our breeding center aren't exactly known for their good temper."

One of our little Shanas alone could easily defeat the leader of the Spoon Serpent, and carrying it on my shoulder would still be a piece of cake.

Not to mention that he could crush Dali during his rebellious phase with just three punches.

"I almost forgot that you're also a champion-caliber player."

Professor Oak laughed heartily, then looked at Fang Yan and said, "Do you know what the purpose of my developing the Pokédex was?"

Fang Yan didn't answer, so Professor Oak continued, "Firstly, I want to research more Pokémon and present them to everyone; secondly, I want to promote a harmonious coexistence between humans and Pokémon."

"So you did a great job, whether it was resolving the crisis of Zangoose and Seviper, sending Pokémon to deliver food to help the elderly, or promoting harmonious coexistence between humans and Pokémon, you did a great job."

Professor Oak nodded repeatedly. "When you first mentioned using food therapy to treat Pokémon, I knew you were no ordinary person. Sure enough, not only are you an excellent breeder and champion trainer, but you are also a unique Pokémon food therapy expert."

"Pokémon—a food therapy expert?"

What is this? I don't think I've ever heard of this before.

"Oh, don't mind the name. I just came up with it randomly. It's just a nickname I give to people I respect. You can think of it as a top-level status for a Pokémon Doctor. I'll write a paper based on what you told me about how to use food to make delicious dishes to help treat Pokémon, and then send it to the various leagues so they can try it out. If it works, I should be able to apply for a Pokémon Doctor Assistant status for you. Then, after a few years, once your method becomes more widespread, you might be able to officially become a Pokémon Doctor."

Professor Oak explained.

A Pokémon professor?!

Me?!

Fang Yan knew what the title of "Professor" represented in the Pokémon world. They were all leaders in their respective fields, and would receive sufficient respect no matter which league they joined. They could also apply for funding from the league to support their research. As for the amount of funding—that was a matter of opinion.

Most importantly, the title of Professor is extremely difficult to obtain; even the youngest Professor Otamaki didn't receive it until she was almost thirty. (If I remember correctly?)

How can someone who just cooks become a PhD?

"This...isn't this a bit inappropriate? I'm just a cook—"

Professor Oak shook his head. "You still don't quite understand the importance of your method. Actually, many people have tried to use food to help heal Pokémon before, but they didn't have a unified standard to follow. The hardest part of healing Pokémon isn't treating their physical injuries, but healing their emotional trauma. Why are there so many stray Pokémon that like to cause trouble in every town? It's because they were abandoned and have emotional trauma. To solve this problem, we can only heal their emotional trauma first, which is why the profession of Pokémon healer exists."

"But being a psychiatrist is a very difficult profession, and there are so many stray Pokémon. In addition, psychiatrists can't solve everything. But the food therapy you mentioned is different. You chose to add some Chinese herbs to the food to achieve the best effect."

"Think about it carefully. When stray Pokémon eat food with added Chinese herbs, it is easy for them to open up their closed hearts. The hardest part of treating these Pokémon is not the subsequent process, but the very first step."

"So the importance of dialects is self-evident. You probably have other important things to do next, so I'll write this paper for you. Also, if you have time, could you organize the types of food mixed with Chinese herbs that you tested through experiments, as well as the proportions? I might need it when writing my paper."

"No problem, I'll try my best to organize it and then give it to you. But won't that be too much trouble for you?"

"It's okay, I can handle this. You've never written a thesis before, do you even know how?"

"----Won't."

"That's fine then. You just need to compile the results and send them to me."

"Thank you very much. By the way, Professor Oak said I might be very busy lately. Is there anything I can help you with?"

"Oh, I had forgotten if you hadn't mentioned it. Fang Yan, I discussed it with Dr. Yamanashi and the other doctors, and we have something we'd like to ask for your help with. I don't know if it's possible."

"What is it?"
