Pokémon: All About the Breeding House

Chapter 496 Beach Volleyball

"La la la la~"

Meloetta sat on Rhyperior's shoulder, singing a high-pitched and beautiful song. Taillow, Staraptor, and other bird-type Pokémon perched on the trees by the sea, while Gullwing also descended from the sky to rest on the rocks on the beach. In the shallow sea area, many Magikarp kept leaping out of the water.

They were all drawn to Meloeta's beautiful singing and stopped to listen.

Alcremie sat on the other shoulder of the Super Armored Rhino, gently tapping her little hands and swaying her hips with her eyes closed.

"Small" body.

Fang Yan, wearing shorts, sat on the blanket Miss Gothic had laid out beforehand, sipping chilled tree juice. Looking at the Super Armored Rhinoceros sitting by the sea, listening to Meloetta's singing on its shoulder, he smiled and said, "Meloeta has already started singing."

Gengar, who was setting up the tent, glanced back, but before he could speak, Fang Yan interrupted his spellcasting.

"Just set up your tent properly and don't think about singing. If you just let us off the hook today, we'll go back and film the second episode of 'Changing Gengar' for you tomorrow."

Gengar is in a dilemma.

It wants to sing, and it also wants to act.

After hesitating for a long time, Gengar finally continued setting up the tent with a long face.

"Kou Jie Yi"

I chose to act.

"That's right."

Fang Yan nodded. "Good luck. We might end up spending the night on this beach."

"How about another beach bonfire party? You can do the opening dance at the dance party."

"!"

An opening dance?! I knew my Gengar was the dance leader of this breeding center!

Gengar's eyes blazed with intense flames, and it pulled out a headband from who-knows-where and had Gothic tie it around its head, thus beginning its battle mode.

Watching Gengar frantically working for him, Fang Yan comfortably laid the little Snorlax down and then lay down on its belly.

You know what, it actually feels pretty good, all bouncy and bouncy.

The little Snorlax didn't realize what was happening at first. It was just about to eat when Fang Yan pushed it onto the blanket. But that was fine, because it could finally fall asleep.

"Kirby~"

Ah~ sunshine~ beach~ waves~ sleep~

Snorlax fell asleep in a second.

Miss Skirt lay down next to Fang Yan, sunbathing.

"Miss Skirt, would you like me to help you apply sunscreen?"

Upon hearing Fang Yan's words, Miss Skirt opened her eyes and looked at Fang Yan with an expression as if she were looking at someone with an idiot.

"Laji?"

Have you ever heard of plants needing sunscreen when they're exposed to the sun?

"That's right, I was rash, I'm very sorry."

Fang Yan then remembered that Miss Skirt was a plant.

Miss Skirt rolled her eyes and then closed them.

"Laji".

Don't bother me, I want to sunbathe.

Roseradore also came over and lay down next to Miss Skirt.

"Ni~"

Comfortable~

Fang Yan sighed regretfully.

Unfortunately, Cynthia went back yesterday. It seems she felt guilty for making Wusong work overtime for so long, so she went back to handle the League's affairs.

"Oh right! The business! Never mind, I'll deal with it tomorrow."

After he finished speaking in dialect, he heard Miss Gothic calling him.

"Goethe".

Come lie down here, do you think you're some kind of lady in a dress? You can still photosynthesize and don't have to worry about getting sunburned and peeling.

Miss Goth had set up a huge parasol, and a blanket had been laid on the sand beneath it.

That makes sense.

Fang Yan stood up and gently kicked the little Snorlax with his foot.

"Wake up, come sleep over there with me."

"Card."

The little Snorlax rubbed its eyes, stood up, and followed Fang Yan happily under the umbrella to continue sleeping.

The zipper of the tent next to them was opened, and Mrs. Fujino came out with Shana and Tomoyo. Each of them was wearing a conservative swimsuit. Shana was also wearing a Gengar swim ring, and Tomoyo was wearing a Dragonite-shaped swim ring.

"Uncle, Mom said she'll teach me and Tomoyo how to swim."

Shana happily told Fang Yan that she was going to learn to swim today. "So little Shana can't swim yet?"

Shana shook her head. "No, because my mom and dad weren't around before, so no one taught me."

Fang Yan reached out and pinched her little cheek. "Then you must study hard, and remember to come up for a drink if you're thirsty."

"I'm not stupid, I'll definitely come up for a drink if I'm thirsty."

Shana answered seriously.

Seeing Shana's serious expression, Fang Yan knew she hadn't understood him, so he couldn't help but laugh. He looked towards the sea, where the Laplace siblings were already quite a distance from the beach.

"Laplace, how are you?"

He shouted in a dialect at the top of his lungs.

"Boohoo~"

Laplace's sister's voice came back.

Everything is safe.

Fang Yan then turned to look at Shana, reached out and pinched her and Tomoyo's little cheeks again, and said, "Go on, remember to listen to your mother, don't go too far, and make sure that Marill and Golduck are with you. If you have any problems, remember to call me or Gengar."

"Okay, I understand."

"Okay, Uncle."

Shana and Tomoyo nodded at the same time.

Seeing this, Mrs. Fujino took their hands, nodded to Fang Yan, and then walked towards the sea.

"What about Mr. Fujino?"

Fang Yan glanced around but didn't see Mr. Fujino, so she asked him curiously.

Lying next to Fang Yan, Miss Gothic, wearing sunglasses and drinking chilled tree juice, pointed in a direction. Fang Yan looked over and saw Mr. Fujino with Victini, Meowth, Kairos, Heracross, and Miltank surfing.

Although it's unclear where to find a skateboard that fits Miltank's size, the Miltank leader seems to be thoroughly enjoying surfing.

And then there's Bictini, who gets knocked off the skateboard by the waves every time, but it always manages to climb back onto the skateboard and lie down again and again.

Every time it is hit by a wave, its laughter can be heard all the way to this side of the beach.

"Tini!"

This is so much fun! Hahaha! We never had the chance to play like this before!

Bictini was having a blast.

"Lun".

Do you want to come and play beach volleyball?

The X-Rayet Cat's voice rang out, and Fang Yan looked over at the X-Rayet Cat, only to find it holding a beach volleyball in its mouth, asking him if he wanted to come and play together.

Fang Yan was somewhat tempted and stood up to go over, only to find that they had already started.

Dali tossed the beach volleyball high into the air, then leaped into the air, slamming his massive hand down on the ball. The volleyball instantly transformed into a terrifying missile, hurtling towards the golem. The golem shrank back, and the volleyball bounced high off its body. Immediately afterward, Erli also leaped into the air and forcefully struck the volleyball.

The volleyball flew back to Dali's court. Dali assumed a horse stance, his arms clasped together. The volleyball landed on Dali's clasped arms and began to spin rapidly. Fang Yan vaguely saw smoke rising. Dali exerted a little force with his arms, and the volleyball flew into the sky.

Fang Yan reached out and covered his forehead, watching as Latias headed the volleyball back onto the court from high above. Then, Roentgenel leaped high into the air, his tail crackling with electricity, and then, staring at the opposite side of the court, gave it a powerful lash.

The volleyball bypassed all the Pokémon on the other side and slammed hard into the sand in the corner.

Dali took the first point.

Fang Yan looked at the spinning volleyball and the dark sand beneath it, then glanced at his own arms, sniffed, pulled up his pants, and sat back down on the blanket.

"Lun?"

Aren't you coming to join us? It'll be a lot of fun.

Röntgen Cat looked at Fang Yan, who had sat down again, and offered a suggestion.

Fang Yan smiled politely and said, "No, you guys play. I just stood up to pull up my pants, otherwise they keep falling down."

"You guys fight, I'll just watch you fight, I'm going to take a break."

Röntgen blinked in confusion. "Will my pants fall down even when I'm sitting down?"

Before it could even ask, a new round began, and it threw itself wholeheartedly into beach volleyball.

Seeing this, Fang Yan breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat from his forehead, unsure whether it was from the hot weather or something else.

"Goethe".

Oh----

Miss Goth, who was lying to the side, hummed softly.

"Huh? Where's the Nine-Tails?"

The dialect is searching everywhere for its long-lost presence.

"call out."

Why are you looking for me?

The sand in front of Fang Yan raised its head, blinked its beautiful fox eyes, and asked Fang Yan a question.

Fang Yan remained silent for a while, looking at the Nine-Tailed Fox burying itself in the sand.

Why did you bury yourself in the sand?

"call out."

Because it's very comfortable, warm and cozy, do you want to try it?

Sand under the sun? If I bury it there, I reckon it'll smell delicious in less than half an hour, like the smell of roasted meat.

"No, you can bury it yourself."

Seeing that Fang Yan was rejecting her, Jiuwei did not persist, but kept her head on the sand and closed her eyes.

"There are people camping on that beach over there. Should we go over and chase them away?"

The young police officer who had just been transferred to Shuangye Town was asking the veteran police officer who was on duty with him for advice.

The older officer glanced in the direction the younger officer was pointing and frowned.

"Isn't this ridiculous? Everyone knows that camping on the beach is prohibited these days, so why do people still dare to go? Aren't they afraid of encountering danger? You come with me and persuade them to leave."

-

The young officer nodded and followed behind the older officer, his face grave.

This is the first task I've encountered since arriving here, and I must complete it well so that I can accumulate more merits and be promoted to police officer as soon as possible.

The young officer was still dreaming of a promotion, while the veteran officer, upon seeing the Pokémon on the beach, put away his weapon, relaxed his guard, and swaggered over.

"The shop manager speaks in dialect."

The veteran police officer greeted Fang Yan from afar.

Fang Yan looked in the direction of the sound and saw two police officers in uniform.

"Hello, is there anything I can help you with?"

Fang Yan recognized the old police officer. Of course, he knew almost all the police officers in Shuangye Town. After all, they had worked together for so long, it would be strange if he didn't recognize them.

If there were any police officers he didn't recognize, they must be new officers.

The veteran officer carefully led the younger officer through the Pokémon area to Fang Yan's side. Fang Yan gestured for them to sit on the blanket, and the veteran officer didn't stand on ceremony, taking off his shoes and sitting down.

The young officer was stunned for a moment as he watched the veteran officer's smooth and skillful actions.

Boss, didn't we come here to persuade them to leave? Why did you sit down?

Monini made two glasses of chilled tree juice and handed them to them.

"Nini~"

"Thank you, Monini."

After smiling and saying thank you, the older officer took the chilled tree juice, handed a glass to the younger officer, and drank his own glass.

"Ah~ A glass of chilled tree juice is the most refreshing thing to do in this kind of weather."

The veteran police officer said with satisfaction.

"That's true, but I didn't expect the sun to be so strong at the beach this afternoon."

Fang Yan replied.

"Definitely, after all, it's only a little past four o'clock, and the sun probably won't set until after six."

The veteran police officer glanced at the sun in the west and said with experience.

"Please sit down, don't be shy. Are you the new officer?"

Fang Yan looked at the young police officer who was standing there looking at a loss, and said with a smile.

The veteran police officer nodded. "He just arrived a few days ago, so he might not be familiar with how things work in Shuangye Town yet. Please have a seat, it's alright."

Hearing his partner say this, the young police officer sat down and greeted Fang Yan.

After greeting everyone, Fang Yan looked at the veteran police officer and asked, "Did you need something from me at the beginning? Did you need my help?"

The old police officer nodded first, then shook his head. He glanced at Dali and the others who were having fun on the beach, and whispered in Fang Yan's ear, "Actually, we originally came here to ask the people camping here to leave, but we didn't expect it to be you camping here."

""

"Huh? Camping is no longer allowed here? I was wondering why I hadn't seen a single person today."

Fang Yan then realized why the usually bustling beach was deserted today, except for the people from his own breeding house.

The veteran police officer took a sip of chilled tree juice through a straw before speaking, "No, it's just that camping isn't allowed during this period."

Why?

"The message from above says that pirates from the Hoenn region are fleeing towards us."

Fang Yan frowned as he listened to the old police officer's words.

Ninetales lying on the sand, Gothic Lady lying next to Fang Yan, and Gengar climbing the tree to pick leaves all looked at Fang Yan.

"Pirates? Are they very powerful?"

"No, according to the predictions, our police force in Futaba Town is more than enough to deal with them. Don't forget we also have the Rice Spoon Snake Squad."

"In that case, it's still manageable. Is the information accurate?"

"A message from the champion of the Hoenn region."

"Why is the news from the Hoenn region coming from Lance? Did Steven and Wallace run off again? Did they have to let Lance take their place again?"

The veteran officer shrugged, indicating that he was just an ordinary officer and had no idea what the upper echelons of the alliance were doing, let alone what the other alliances were doing.

Did they say how many of them there were?

"It's said to be more than a dozen people."

Fang Yan fell into deep thought. Everyone on the beach, on the sea, and in the breeding house was having a great time. If this activity were to be stopped now, they would probably be very sad.

"Actually—I think it's probably okay for us to stay here, right? If it's only a dozen or so people, we have so many Pokémon here, we shouldn't be afraid, right?"

Fang Yan hesitated for a moment before tentatively speaking.

The young officer was about to say that having more Pokémon wouldn't help when facing pirates, but he saw his partner nod in agreement.

"I do believe they can't threaten you. If you still decide to stay here, I suggest you inform Miss Officer Jenny so we can have an explanation."

Adhering to the principle of not causing trouble for civil servants, Fang Yan immediately called Ms. Jenny to explain the situation. After obtaining Ms. Jenny's consent, he then informed the veteran police officer.

After confirming, the veteran officer nodded, then got up to say goodbye and prepare to leave.

"Don't you want to rest for a while?"

"Thank you for your kindness. I would like to rest for a while, but we still need to check if there are any tourists camping on the beach in other areas. As you know, not everyone has your capabilities. As police officers, we still need to ensure the safety of residents when facing potential dangers."

"That's true. If you need any help from me, remember to give me a call."

Fang Yan gestured with his fingers as if he were making a phone call.

"Don't worry, our police officers in Futaba Town are already very experienced in this kind of thing."

The veteran officer chuckled twice, then said, "We'll be going now. Have fun."

"Bye-Bye."

"call out."

"Kou Jie"

"Goethe".

After the two officers left, Fang Yan looked at the Starhawk, which had just finished a thrilling beach volleyball match, and whispered a few words to it and the Scorpion King. The Starhawk and the others nodded to indicate that they understood.

So they climbed up a tree to keep watch over the sea.

"Kou Jie—"

"6

Um, could you move over a bit? I can't reach the coconuts anymore.

Gengar looked at Staraptor, who had taken over the spot, and offered a reminder.

Starhawk looked at Gengar, who was climbing on the coconut tree with both hands and feet, hesitated for a moment, then left the coconut tree and flew to another tree.

Although it doesn't know why Gengar, which can float in the air, would choose such a simple method of picking coconuts, it generally respects the various strange phenomena of Pokémon in the breeding house.

After having Laplace, Marill, and Golduck pay attention to the seabed, Fang Yan focused on watching the second beach volleyball match.

This one is relatively much safer.

Mrs. Fujino took a deep breath, then tossed the ball up and smacked it hard.

boom!

The volleyball flew over the makeshift net. The fiery horse turned around, used its hind hooves to absorb the force, and passed the ball to Shana. Shana took a deep breath, puffed out her cheeks, stomped her little foot, and began to accelerate. She leaped high into the air, headbutted the beach volleyball, and the volleyball flew back quickly.

The dwarf dragon raised its tail, and a powerful current of water condensed into the shape of its tail, sending the beach volleyball flying back.

Fang Yan swallowed hard. Well, this match was a little safer than Dali's, but it was still not very safe for him.

On the way out, the young officer asked the older officer beside him curiously, "Weren't we here to persuade them to leave?"

Is it really a good idea to just let them stay there? You have to understand that when facing villains, especially ruthless villains like pirates, having a lot of Pokémon is completely useless.

The veteran police officer shook his head. "Instead of worrying about the dialect shopkeeper and his gang, we should worry about the pirates. After all, they might actually get killed."

"what?"

"How many days have you been here?"

"Five days? What happened?"

"Do you remember the most important line from our team motto?"

"Hmm—call the animal shelter if you encounter a problem you can't solve?"

"The owner of the nursery camp camps there."

'

'

"It's normal to feel unsettled when you first arrive. Just remember, if you're ever in doubt, just call the nursery owner."

Seeing the young officer still somewhat confused, the older officer sighed and said, "Champion Cynthia and Champion Wataru are both good friends of the dialect shop owner, understand?"

"Huh? Oh! Oh oh oh!"

The young police officer responded with an "oh".

So that's how it is! No wonder!

"Let's go. With him here, nothing will happen. Let's go patrol the other beaches."

On the other side, within the sea area of ​​the Sinnoh region.

A giant flying fish is fleeing in panic, carrying a brightly colored Pokémon egg.

Behind it followed a huge, dilapidated sailboat.

"Catch it and get that Pokémon egg back from it, then we'll be rich!"

"Let's go! Let's go!"
