Pokémon: All About the Breeding House

Chapter 456 The Most Generous Animal Breeding Shop Owner in History

"So the competition starts in two days?"

Cynthia on the screen asked a question.

"Well, it officially starts in two days. To my surprise, there are a lot of people here, but not many people have signed up to participate."

Cynthia sat at her desk and stretched, a gesture that left Fang Yan completely stunned.

dialect:!

"Actually, that's normal. First, it's because this is your first time organizing this kind of competition, so you don't have much recognition. Many people think it's just a small competition. Second, you haven't invested much and don't have a good venue. You know, large-scale competitions need good venues to get better viewership. Third, and most importantly, your poster says you're inviting top fighters from all over the world to come and exchange skills. Many people will think you're just trying to attract attention because many competitions use that name."

Seeing Fang Yan's stunned expression, Cynthia suddenly had a mischievous urge and gently nudged him with her hand.

dialect:!!!

"More importantly, senior Ma Shide and King Shiba posted on the world forum, indicating that they would come to participate. From the moment they posted, your competition became a true world-class fighting tournament."

After Cynthia finished speaking, she asked in confusion, "Why did you choose to call it a martial arts tournament?"

When I was a kid, I watched Dragon Ball, and the tournaments were called martial arts tournaments, I think.

Wait a minute—wasn't it supposed to be called a martial arts tournament? Oh no! I remembered it wrong!

"Because I think every top fighter has their own style, whether they learned it from others or created it themselves, it is worth observing, learning and respecting. In addition, this competition was originally held so that Dali could fight against various powerful fighters. It is a battle unique to fighters, so I named it the Martial Arts Tournament in my mind. Actually, it should be called the Martial Arts Tournament."

The dialect was explained.

"So that's how it is."

Cynthia nodded. "Once Master Mash and Elite Four member Shiba chose to participate, the other Gym Leaders and Elite Four members couldn't help but join the competition. After all, such opportunities for exchange and sparring are rare."

"And don't underestimate the influence of dialects."

"Me? What influence do I have? I'm just an ordinary person who runs a petting zoo."

Hearing Fang Yan's words, Cynthia seemed to have anticipated them. She shook her head at the camera and smiled helplessly, "I knew you would say that, but you have to understand, you are friends with almost all the league champions, and you are also a champion yourself. Although this news only circulates among the champions, the Elite Four members, and the gym leaders, it's enough."

""

"A top-level fighting tournament hosted by a champion, with recommendations from other champions, and the participation of the world's top fighters, Masdeh and Shiba, makes it impossible for anyone to refuse such a competition."

"When other ordinary fighters see the names of Ma Shiba and others on the list, they know that this will be a top-level competition. Most of them will be too scared to participate. They don't think they have become the world's top fighters."

After listening to Cynthia's analysis, Fang Yan could only say that she truly deserves her reputation as a long-established champion; her analysis was simple and straightforward.

"Oh, I see. I thought they weren't participating because there were no rewards."

He said something in a low voice.

Cynthia: ?

"No reward? You mean, the champion of the martial arts tournament receives no reward?"

Upon hearing Cynthia's question, Fang Yan shook his head. "Yeah, there's no reward. Why?"

Cynthia: ————

The Garchomp beside him made a sarcastic remark without holding back.

"Kah!"

Just shut it down.

dialect:----

"Kou Jie Yi"

Exactly, dialects are so stingy.

"Where did I mean being stingy? I was just thinking that they are all established top trainers and fighters. Money is probably just a number to them. Besides, I'm just an ordinary person who runs a Pokémon breeding center. I can't exactly give them Pokémon eggs, can I? And I certainly can't offer to breed Pokémon for them, can I?"

Fang Yan offered a defense of himself.

"Kah?"

How many fighters do you think are not poor?

"I----"

Now that I think about it, it actually makes sense, doesn't it?

The most typical example is our curator, Mr. Li.

They're incredibly poor.

"In dialects, no one ever thinks they have too much money—"

Cynthia felt utterly exhausted.

Seeing Fang Yan's guilty look on the screen, she rubbed her temples. "How about you tell me about any events you're organizing next time? I'll fund them for you?"

What kind of competition hosts a tournament where the first-place winner receives no real prize? Especially when the participants include former champions, legends, and gym owners—

As the champion of the Sinnoh region, you should know that you will receive an appearance fee or performance fee for each event you participate in.

Even he himself couldn't believe that he had invited so many top stars and gym leaders to participate in the competition, but hadn't set any prizes.

"!"

'

Fang Yan was tempted, but he didn't say yes.

What has this become?! Doesn't this make it seem like I'm being kept by a sugar daddy?!

"No! I'll pay! The nursery can afford it!"

Fang Yan suppressed her heartache and spoke loudly, while also taking the tablet and making a call to Mayor Qiyi.

"Um—Zhu Lan, how much would be a reasonable price? Would eight million be enough?"

"Actually, you don't need that much. For a competition of this scale, three million is enough. Especially since many participants come here just to enjoy the competition and show their fighting skills to more people, they don't value money that much. One million would even be enough."

"Everyone's here to enjoy the game, so why not just not pay them?"

"dialect----"

Cynthia called out a name in dialect, her voice filled with helplessness.

"Don't worry, I was just saying. I'm prepared to take out 3.5 million."

"Well, I'll sponsor you 1.5 million, making it 5 million. After all, it's your first competition, and such an important one."

Cynthia smiled beautifully. "Don't even think about refusing. I'm sponsoring my boyfriend, not sponsoring your dialect."

"Sigh, sometimes I really think about just retiring and living a carefree life, and then being taken care of by you."

"He's not much to look at, but he's got some pretty big dreams. Or you could come and be my secretary."

Fang Yan wanted to speak, but then Mayor Qi Yi answered the phone.

"Hey, manager with dialect accent, what's up?"

"Mayor Qiyi, I've been thinking about it and suddenly realized that there doesn't seem to be a prize for the top three in our competition. I've prepared some prize money; would that be acceptable for the top three prizes? I hope it's still possible to add it in now?"

"Oh, Manager Fangyan, is that what you mean? Don't worry about that. I was already prepared when I received the notification. Shuangye Town will pay. First place: five million, second place: three million, third place: one million, for a total of eight million."

As expected, Mayor Qiyi is the most reliable!

"What's wrong? Is it too little? Should I add more? To be honest, this is the most money our town can come up with."

"No, no, no, what I mean is, this arrangement is quite good, but we can't let you and Futaba Town pay for it. How about this, the nursery and Futaba Town each pay half, after all, the nursery and Futaba Town are best friends, aren't they?"

"I see. Well then, I'll use the remaining money to fund the renovation of our town of Futaba."

After hanging up the phone, Fang Yan asked with a puzzled look, "Renovate Shuangye Town? What do you mean? Is it because it's been damaged too much lately? Does it need to be renovated?"

"Actually, Lucario and I also wanted to sign up, but we've been too busy lately and haven't been able to find the time."

Cynthia sighed and said in confusion.

"Where is Wusong?"

Wait, why is Wusong the first person I thought of in this matter?

Sure enough, outstanding people are always the first ones that come to mind.

"Wusong just finished working overtime not long ago, we can't make him work overtime again, even though I'd love to."

"Indeed, he needs to rest sometimes, otherwise it wouldn't be good if he worked himself to the point of quitting."

On the spacious bed, a handsome purple-haired man, hugging a life-sized bronze bell doll, was fast asleep with his eyes closed.

Two sneezes woke him up.

He opened his eyes, looked at the ceiling, and found himself lying in bed, letting out a sigh of relief.

"That scared me to death! I thought I was still working overtime. It was just a dream!"

After Wusong finished speaking, he turned over and went back to sleep.

"By the way, has the alliance's support come through yet? Although the number of participants is not large, the number of people coming to watch is quite high. I'm even wondering if the ticket price was too low, otherwise so many people wouldn't have come to watch, and the hotel wouldn't be able to accommodate everyone."

"You're charging an entrance fee now? How much?"

"888, in Eastern parlance, means 'prosperity, prosperity, prosperity'."

"No wonder, with such low prices, it's no wonder there are so many people coming. Don't worry, the alliance has already sent people, one Heavenly King and two gym leaders."

"Heavenly King?"

The dialect has an ominous feel to it.

"Let me check the notice. I found it. Since A-Liu is dealing with a mission assigned to him by the Alliance, and Da-Ye is also on a business trip due to a mission, and Granny Kikuno needs to guard Mount Tenguan, that leaves only Gosho. Then the gym leaders are Donggua and Piaotai, plus the gym leader A-Li who is participating in the competition, there will be a total of one Elite Four member and three gym leaders going."

Fang Yan pursed her lips, trying hard not to laugh.

Wusong! I knew my premonition was right!

You can't escape after all.

Oh, my poor Wusong, you have to work overtime again. I feel sorry for you for three seconds.

On the comfortable bed: "Ah Qiu————"

After chatting with Cynthia for a while, Fang Yan got up and went to the backyard, where he found that Mighty and Charizard were fighting each other, engaging in a brutal hand-to-hand combat without any special moves.

Leon and his Pokémon, along with a group of Pokémon at the breeding center who were being trained day and night by Mighty, and some other Pokémon who only knew how to cheer, surrounded Mighty and Charizard, cheering them on.

"What's going on?"

Fang Yan walked to the pavilion in the garden and asked Sonia, who was sitting inside drinking tea.

"Ever since you mentioned yesterday that this is an activity unique to the breeding center, he woke up this morning and brought his Charizard over to ask if he could join in, and that's how it ended up like this."

"I'm not surprised at all —"

Fang Yan smiled and shook his head, looking around Dan Di: Draco, Ice-Treading Doll, Thousand-Faced Avatar, Shining Ace —

Wait, what? Where's the Thunder King Gorilla? I remember Leon had another Thunder King Gorilla, didn't he?

Fang Yan turned to Sonia and asked, "I remember Dan Di also had a Thunder King Kong Ape, didn't he bring it?"

"I brought it."

"Where is it? I can't see it."

Sonia pointed behind her, and Fang Yan turned around to look. The Thunder King Kong was lying on the grass.

Is it sleeping?

Fang Yan asked in confusion.

Hearing Fang Yan discussing him, the Thunder King Kong sat up straight and gave Fang Yan a gorilla smile.

Hey.

"My God, what happened?"

Fang Yan's face was covered in bruises and swelling, but her eyes, though still aloof and alluring with their purple hue, were hard to look at.

"boom."

I couldn't beat Dali, so I got some pointers.

Fang Yan felt a little sorry for the Thunder King Kong, "Logically speaking, Dali wouldn't hit so hard, would he?"

"boom----"

Because I told it not to hold back, every time it knocked me to the ground, I refused to admit defeat, and that's why I got beaten up like this.

"I had to drag it down to end the beating, otherwise I would have been beaten even harder."

Sonia said, biting her straw.

"This won't do. Come here, let me take a look at your injuries."

The Thunder King Kong sat obediently next to Fang Yan, letting Fang Yan check his injuries.

"It's nothing serious, I'll brew you some Chinese medicine and you'll feel better after you drink it."

The Thunder King Kong nodded obediently.

"Next time you can't beat someone, don't try to take it head-on. A powerful punch is no joke."

The Thunder King Kong nodded obediently once again.

Fang Yan went to the kitchen to boil the Chinese medicine, took it out, and served it to the Thunder King Kong. The Thunder King Kong smelled the unpleasant odor and was somewhat resistant, but after seeing Fang Yan's eyes, it could only obediently drink it.

"Phew, what a pleasant day."

-

Dan Di's voice came back. Fang Yan turned around and saw Dan Di walking over with Charizard, whose face was also covered in bruises.

"You lost?"

"We lost. Charizard still can't beat Mighty."

4

Leon shook his arm. "Without using any special moves, relying solely on fighting skills, Charizard and Rumble are still far inferior to Mighty."

"After all, they're not Fighting-type Pokémon."

"That's true, but your training method is very useful. I've also discovered some shortcomings in Charizard and Raptor, and I'll need to make improvements when we get back."

Dan Di spoke to himself.

Fang Yan looked at Charizard, whose face wore a mask of pain.

"roar----"

It hurts so much! — What did you eat to grow up so strong? —

Fang Yan handed the Chinese medicine to it, "Drink it, it's very helpful for the wounds on your face. If you want to continue next time, I suggest you choose the Super Armor Rhinoceros, the Second Strength and Third Strength ones first, they are better."

Judging from the extent of their injuries, their fighting level is probably only at the level of Golem, about the same as Mounted Goat, slightly worse than Milk Tank, let alone Super Armored Rhinoceros, or even a Level 2 or Level 3 Rhinoceros.

"Okay, let's try it this afternoon."

Dante nodded, then picked up Sonia's water glass and took a few big gulps through the straw.

Sonia: "That's me—"

"What's wrong? The water tastes pretty sweet today."

Dante glanced at the cup in his hand. "Is it honey water?"

Sonia blushed, "Mmm... mmm."

Dialect: To roll one's eyes.

I should have prepared a bowl of Chinese medicine for you; let's see if you're still so sweet then.

shameless!

At this moment, Mastedt and Miye came over, Miye carrying a basket in her hand.

Good morning, in dialect.

Miye greeted Fangyan.

"Master Mastade, Mistress Miye, did you sleep well last night?"

Ma Shide nodded. "It felt great. I got up before dawn and was full of energy. Little Honey Leaf dragged me to the forest for a stroll, and I even picked a bunch of mushrooms. But are forest mushrooms edible?"

"Of course, as long as you don't find any poisonous mushrooms."

Fang Yan nodded.

"I don't know if there are any poisonous mushrooms; Little Honey Leaf picked them all."

"How could I not tell if a mushroom is poisonous?"

Miye glared at Mashide, then handed the basket in her hand to Fangyan.

"I noticed you weren't up yet this morning, so I asked the Dream Fairy and the Wandering Night Spirit to take us for a walk in the forest. I hope that didn't cause you any trouble?"

"Of course not. As long as you don't enter the beehive area of ​​the forest, you can go to most parts of the breeding house."

Honey Leaf nodded. "I also picked a lot of mushrooms. There were mushrooms everywhere this morning, more than I could pick up."

Fang Yan glanced at the basket, which was full of common mushrooms. He handed the basket to Miss Qun'er, who was standing nearby. Due to the recent surge in the population of Twinleaf Town, Miss Goth had been staying in the hut to entertain guests.

"The Pokémon in the forest often pick these mushrooms and bring them to me. That box over there is one I made for them to store the little gifts they bring, but most of the time they just eat the food inside themselves."

Sonia stood up, tiptoed, and looked down. Sure enough, she found several wooden boxes under the swing tree.

"Oh, by the way, Fangyan, I also saw a forest hot spring in the forest, it was steaming. I wanted to ask if that hot spring is usable?"

Miye remembered the hot spring she and Ma Shide had seen in the forest, and she suddenly wanted to soak in a hot spring, which she hadn't done in a long time.

"Of course, Gengar and I often go to the hot springs in the winter."

Fang Yan said with a smile, "We went there last week, it was very comfortable."

"Can I go over there? —"

"No problem. I'll have Gengar go and talk to the Pokémon in the forest and ask them to make the hot springs available tonight and tomorrow. Then you, Master Mash, Sonia, Leon, and the others can go and soak in the hot springs, but you'll have to go in batches."

He said in a dialect.

"Do I need to tell the Pokémon in the forest?"

Sonia was puzzled.

Fang Yan nodded, "Because the hot spring is in the forest, it is a gift from the forest. It was also discovered by the forest's Pokémon earlier. We are just borrowing it, so every time I go there, I have Gengar go and communicate with them to let us use the hot spring for a while."

"I see. This is the first time I've ever seen humans living together with so many wild Pokémon in such a friendly and harmonious way."

Sonia spoke her mind.

Fang Yan just smiled when she heard this. "Because I've always treated them as friends in our sanctuary. There's no such thing as a strong or weak relationship between us. There's only friendship and affection between us. They bring gifts to the sanctuary to play, and we protect the whole forest to the best of our ability."

"As expected of you, Fangyanzi."

Ma Shide patted Fang Yan on the shoulder, everything was understood without words.

"How about we have mushroom soup for lunch, made with the mushrooms that Aunt Honey Leaf picked?"

"I'll help you."

Honey leaves are eager to try.

"Thank you for your help."
