Pokémon: All About the Breeding House

Chapter 497 Eat this and surf!

"Where are the pirates?!"

Little Shana held a glass of chilled honey water in her hand, a straw between her teeth, one hand propped up on her fleshy face, gazing at the vast, boundless sea, and asked a question.

"What pirates?"

Mr. Fujino, who had just returned with his surfboard, heard Shana's words and asked her curiously.

"Dad, you're back?"

Shana saw her father come home and happily called out.

"Pirates are... Uncle, what are pirates?"

Shana realized she didn't know what pirates were, so she turned to Fang Yan and asked him.

Fang Yan lifted Zoroya off his head and placed it on Xiao Shana's head, saying, "I don't know why you all like to sit on my head so much."

Fang Yan made a sarcastic remark, then said to Shana, "Pirates are villains who specialize in robbing ships at sea and capturing rare marine Pokémon to sell. In short, they are extremely evil villains."

"Oh? So it's the big bad guy?"

Shana pouted; she thought it was someone who had come to play with her or a Pokémon.

Shana looked at Tomoyo, "Don't be afraid, little Tomoyo, little Shana will protect you."

Tomoyo sat next to Gothic, sipping iced honey water through a straw. She glanced around at the Pokémon lying, sitting, crawling, and running around, blinked, and then nodded to Shana.

"Um."

Tomoyo never disappoints Shana.

Shana laughed smugly when she saw this.

Hehe, I knew little Tomoyo couldn't do without my protection!

Fang Yan shook his head, looked at Mr. Fujino, and explained briefly: "The police officers from Futaba Town just came to inform me that pirates from the Hoenn region may appear in the waters near our Futaba Town in the next few days."

Mr. Fujino was startled. "Should we—"

"This is only a possibility, and it may not happen today. But don't worry, I've told the Pokémon to be on high alert. The pirates aren't many in number, and I've heard they're much weaker than the Pokémon Hunter Organization."

"My idea is that since everyone is finally out having fun, and no one has ever been to the beach before, I want everyone to have a great time. I'm very confident in the strength of the Pokémon in our breeding center."

Mr. Fujino thought about it carefully for a moment, "That's true, we shouldn't let such trivial things spoil such a beautiful day. By the way, where is Madam?"

Mr. Fujino, not noticing his wife's absence, asked her about it out of curiosity.

"I went diving with Mariloli and the others. I heard they wanted to dig up some oysters to grill for dinner tonight."

"Oysters—they're a real treat, they taste amazing."

Mr. Fujino's words directly touched a nerve with Gengar.

Gengar fell vertically from the coconut tree, floating in the air headfirst and feet in the sky, its tongue lolling out, and its red eyes staring at Mr. Fujino.

"Kou Jie?"

Oysters? Are they delicious?

Having lived in the nursery for a long time and taken care of so many Pokémon every day, Mr. Fujino has come to understand, to some extent, what the Pokémon in the nursery are trying to convey.

"Yes, it tastes really good."

Gengar's eyes lit up, and it turned to look at Fangyan without saying a word, but its meaning was very clear.

I want to eat! I want to eat! I want to eat!

dialect:"----"

"Straighten your body first before we talk."

"Oh my god, I knew my head felt so heavy."

Gengar turned its body around, looked at Fang Yan, and saliva dripped down its tongue.

"Gothic!"

If you dare spill any water on the blanket, you're dead today!

Miss Gothic said something instantly.

Gengar quickly stuck out its tongue to catch the saliva in mid-air.

Fang Yan covered her face with a hint of disgust, "Can't you be a little more polite?"

"Goblin!"

Being refined won't put food on the table! I want to eat oysters today! Will you take me?

"Didn't Mrs. Fujino go dig?"

"Goblin!"

I want to go too, it sounds like so much fun!

Fang Yan watched helplessly as Gengar started to act spoiled, pulling his arm and shaking it incessantly.

"Okay, okay. I'll get my gear on first and then go with you, alright?"

"Kou Jie~"

I knew dialects were the best! *slurp*

"Mama—Mama—"

"Goethe————"

In there —

After Miss Gothic finished speaking, she stuffed a cherry into Fang Yan's mouth.

Fang Yan chewed on a cherry, wiped the drool off his face, and nudged Gengar's chubby face, "You should also change into the diving gear you prepared long ago."

i/（/。A）3

How did he know I had already bought the diving equipment?!

"Whose signature do you think is needed for a package to be delivered to the nursery?"

Fang Yan glared at him, then looked at Miss Gothic, "Do you want to come along? For diving."

Miss Gothic thought it would be fun, so she nodded.

Shana, standing to the side, looked on with envy. "Little Shana really wants to go too, but she only just learned to swim a short time ago and isn't very good at it yet."

Seeing the disappointment on his daughter's face, Mr. Fujino gestured to the surfboard in his hand, "Would little Shana like to learn to surf with Daddy?"

"!"

"think!"

"Then let's go!"

Mr. Fujino left the base camp with Shana and Tomoyo, followed by a group of Pokémon who love surfing.

"Nine-Tails, I'll leave the rest to you, Mighty, and Zoroark."

Nine-Tails nodded gently with its eyes closed.

"Miss Skirt, would you like to come along?"

"Laji?"

What?

"Let's go diving to dig for oysters."

"Laji".

You guys go ahead, I want to sunbathe.

"Alright, I'll leave it to you from above."

Miss Skirt did not respond, but Fangyan knew it understood.

Fang Yan took Gengar to change its equipment and came out. He looked at Latias, who was lying on the blanket sleeping, exhausted from playing volleyball with Dali and the others. He stretched out his foot and kicked its little wing.

"Still sleeping! Look how fat you've gotten! Come with me to the sea and dig for oysters."

Latias, who originally didn't want to get out of bed, opened his eyes instantly upon hearing that there was something delicious to eat.

"Okay, okay."

"All you do is eat and sleep. Didn't you used to say you wanted to lose weight?"

"Now I understand. I earned all of this through my own hard work, so why should I go through the hardship of losing it?"

"—Fine, I have nothing to say."

Fang Yan shook his head and led the team to the beach. Meloetta sat on the back of the Super Armored Rhinoceros and asked Fang Yan curiously what they were going to do.

"Want to come diving for some delicious food?"

Upon hearing Fang Yan's words, Meloetta nodded, flew off the shoulder of the Super Armored Rhinoceros, and came to Fang Yan's side.

"By the way, what about Victini? Does it want to come along?"

Fang Yan searched around and found that Victini had gone surfing again. He called it several times but it didn't respond. So Fang Yan took Gengar and the others to the deep water area and went into the water.

Fang Yan's hometown was by the sea in his previous life, so diving was a piece of cake for him. He skillfully moved the equipment on his legs and dived down.

Meloetta can use her mental energy to envelop herself, so she doesn't need to carry any equipment. As for Latias, it goes without saying that entering the ocean is like returning home.

However, unlike Meloetta, Miss Gothic did not choose to envelop herself with her mental energy. Instead, she chose to carry diving equipment and swim underwater.

Seeing the fat fish constantly pupaing in front of him, Fang Yan couldn't take it anymore and punched it in the butt.

"Gurgle gurgle gurgle~"

Don't bother me! Go play somewhere else!

Gengar made a face at him.

"Gurgle gurgle gurgle"

I want to eat oysters!

"Gurgle gurgle gurgle~"

I understand, I'm looking for it now! Be quiet!

Gengar was carrying a small basket filled with oysters, scallops, and other seafood, and it couldn't be happier.

Fangyan swam over to Gengar, looked at its basket of catch, and nodded in satisfaction.

"Gurgle gurgle gurgle".

Alright, time to wrap up.

As Fang Yan floated in the seawater, gazing at the underwater world, he couldn't help but marvel at how beautiful the underwater world of Pokémon truly is.

Many Pokémon swim leisurely in groups on the seabed. Although Magikarp is the most numerous, there are still many beautiful Pokémon such as Sakura and Glowfin.

"Hey, can I eat this?!"

Latias, with a giant scallop on its head, swam up to Fangyan and waited expectantly for his reply.

Fang Yan stared at the tightly closed pearl shells on its head, utterly exasperated.

“Gurgle gurgle gurgle——”

Those are pearl oysters, you can't eat them! Put them back right away!

"Goth?"

what about this?

"Gurgle gurgle gurgle————"

Leave the giant crab alone, it has no meat!

"Gurgle gurgle gurgle————"

In dialect, this is... this is grilled octopus!

Gengar, dragging an octopus bucket, called out in dialect.

Octopus Bucket: ? ? ?

"Gurgle gurgle gurgle————"

Where am I supposed to find such a big iron plate for you? Besides! You can't eat octopus buckets! Look at those clear eyes, eating them will make you stupid!

Gengar: ? ? ?

It quickly spread out the octopus bucket.

Hurry up, hurry up, don't make me stupid.

Octopus Bucket: !!!

This is outrageous! This is outrageous!

The octopus bucket ran away angrily.

"Melo~"

Is that edible? It looks huge!

"Gurgle?"

Which one? It really looks huge! My goodness, how can there be a Megalodon here?!

"Gurgle, gurgle!"

Latias, go! Beat it up!

"Take this! The Ultimate Super Star Collision!"

Latias is a Pokémon that can be used anywhere, so I just bring it in whenever I want.

This megalodon was originally hunting some howling whales with its pod, but it accidentally got lost and wandered over here. Just as it was about to leave, it was suddenly struck by a gravitational impact and sent flying.

Megalodon: ? ? ?

What did I do to you!

"Gurgle gurgle".

Fang Yan then explained to Meloetta and the others: theoretically, megalodon sharks are not edible because they excrete waste through their skin.

Upon hearing this, Miss Gothia and Meloetta looked disdainfully at the Megalodon that had been sent flying by the hammer, and continued their explanation in dialect:

However, its dorsal fin is a very delicious food, which is why the Megalodon was heavily hunted in the past. Later, various regional alliances began to issue orders to ban the hunting of Megalodon, and the Megalodon recovered.

So let's try to avoid these Pokémon and just pick some seafood that we can eat.

Several Pokémon nodded in agreement.

"Gurgle gurgle".

Let's go upstairs. We've collected so much, let's go up and process it to get ready for tonight's bonfire party!

Just as they were about to surface, several figures suddenly appeared in Fang Yan's line of sight from a distance.

Is that Mrs. Fujino?

Fang Yan recognized the figure swimming towards them, but it seemed she was holding something in her arms—

Several megalodon sharks were chasing them from behind, while Mariuleli and a giant flying fish kept blocking the megalodon sharks and sharp-toothed fish on the seabed.

When Mrs. Fujino saw Fang Yan, she quickly waved her hand. Without Fang Yan's instruction, Latias, Miss Gothic, and Gengar rushed out immediately.

Latias unleashed a powerful dragon-type energy, sending all the Sharpedoes flying. Gothic then used her mental powers to isolate the surrounding seawater, leaving them in a state of extreme dehydration. Gengar then swam back to Fangyan with Mrs. Fujino and the others.

Watching the sharp-toothed fish and megalodon float to the surface belly up, while the rest fled in panic, Fang Yan then led Mrs. Fujino back to the beach.

Fang Yan took off his diving gear and looked at the Pokémon egg in Mrs. Fujino's arms, asking curiously, "Did you raid Sharpedo's nest?"

Mrs. Fujino took off her oxygen tank, exhaled, and then said, "This isn't a Megalodon egg. It was given to me by a giant flying fish when Marilluri and I were collecting seafood. When we saw it, there was already a Megalodon chasing after it."

Mrs. Fujino explained, and Fang Yan glanced at the giant flying fish and saw that it was covered in wounds and was now weakly floating on the surface of the sea.

Several sharp-toothed fish and megalodon were swimming in the distance.

"Latias, take Laplace and the others and drive them out of the coastal area."

Upon hearing this, Latias transformed into a fighter jet, leading the Laplace siblings and the Marilloli family as they charged towards the group of Megalodons.

In just a few rounds, the Megalodons all fled in disarray.

Latias watched the departing Megalodons, blinked in confusion, then returned to the beach, looked at Fang Yan, and reported the problem it had discovered.

"The dialect is a bit off. It seems like they're wearing some kind of device that's controlling their movements."

Fang Yan frowned upon hearing this, just then Roseradore's voice rang out.

"Ni~"

It's been resolved.

Fang Yan walked to the giant manta ray, reached out and patted its head, and said softly, "Don't worry, you should rest for a while and take a nap. We'll talk about other things after you wake up. Don't worry, we'll protect the Pokémon egg while you sleep."

Feeling the goodwill emanating from Fang Yan, and with Roserade's healing easing its tense nerves, the giant flying fish, which hadn't rested for several days, closed its eyes and fell asleep.

Fang Yan returned to Mrs. Fujino's side and looked at the Pokémon egg in Mrs. Fujino's arms, feeling somewhat sad.

[Manaphy's Egg] [Hatching Progress: Soon]

Looking at the text that popped up, Fang Yan reached out and took the Pokémon egg from Mrs. Fujino's arms. This was the egg of the legendary prince of all water and soil, Manaphy.

But I remember Ash and his friends hatched one of Manaphy's eggs in the Hoenn region, didn't they? Does that mean this didn't happen in this world?

Or is this the second Manaphy egg?

In other words, the reason why the pirates came to the Sinnoh region from the Hoenn region was because of this Manaphy egg.

While Fang Yan was pondering, the people and Pokémon around him gathered together without making a sound to disturb him.

Mr. Fujino quietly asked his wife what had happened, and Mrs. Fujino quietly explained it to him briefly.

Fang Yan snapped out of his daze and noticed that the Pokémon around him were staring at him nervously. He was startled. "What are you all doing? Why do you all look so alarmed?"

"Manager, which Pokémon's egg is this?"

Lady Fujino guessed from Fang Yan's expression that this Pokémon egg was extraordinary, so she cautiously asked him.

Fang Yan thought for a moment, then pointed to Victini and Meloetta and said, "Like them, it belongs to the Mythical Pokémon category, and its name is Manaphy."

Victini and Meloetta exchanged a glance. They were familiar with the name Manaphy; in fact, many mythical and even legendary Pokémon were familiar with it.

"Manaphy? What kind of Pokémon is that?"

Shana asked curiously.

Latias exclaimed excitedly, "I know that!"

All the people and Pokémon looked at Latias. Latias hovered in the air, shook its strong body, and then said, "Manaphy is the darling of the sea and the prince of the ocean. Legend has it that from the moment it was born, all the Pokémon in the ocean will obey its commands. It has absolute authority in the ocean, and all Water-type Pokémon will obey its commands."

Gengar and the others gasped in shock.

Wow—that's amazing!

Gengar glanced at the Pokémon egg in Fang Yan's arms, then at Victini and Meloetta. Although it didn't speak, everyone and the Pokémon present could understand what it was trying to say.

Bictini: ? ? ?

Meloetta: ? ? ?

Victini: What do you mean?! You look down on me?! I'm the Victory Pokémon! I never lose a battle as long as I'm around!

Gengar responded with an "Ah yes yes yes" emoticon.

Latias added, "However, what I said above is just a legend. In fact, I have never seen Manaphy. This race is too mysterious, even more mysterious than our Latias and Latios families."

"Melo".

After all, they generally live in the mysterious ocean palaces of the deep sea and rarely appear in the human world.

Meloyetta knows Manaphy quite well.

"It's estimated that the pirates from the Hoenn region came specifically for it."

At this moment, someone in the dialect said something.

"So now we—"

Mr. Fujino asked a question.

Fang Yan smiled and said, "Now? It's definitely time to continue our beach bonfire party! They might be a bit more difficult to deal with in other places, but this is Twinleaf Town in the Sinnoh region, where our Pokémon are everywhere."

"Actually, I've never seen a pirate either, and to be honest, I'm quite curious."

Fang Yan grinned, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.

Miss Gothic and the others nodded and began to perform their respective duties.

Seeing this, the Fujino couple were no longer worried and turned to help.

While Fang Yan was helping Miss Skirt and the others process the seafood, he looked at Latias, who was floating in the air watching them curiously, and asked, "Speaking of Latias, Manaphy is the prince of the ocean, so do you and your Latios clan obey their orders?"

Latias tilted its head, stared at Fang Yan, and after a long while, finally spoke: "Are you stupid? Our race is Dragon and Flying type. We only live in the ocean occasionally, but that doesn't mean we are a type of Ocean Pokémon."

"Oh! Right! Seeing you always running towards the beach, I thought you guys were a kind of marine Pokémon."

Fang Yan skillfully pried open the oyster and began to speak.

"Latias, do you think Lugia and the other Pokémon revered as sea gods might also obey the commands of the prince of the sea? Sea gods obeying the commands of the prince of the sea? Something doesn't sound right."

Latias: "————"

"But isn't Lugia a Psychic/Flying type? Why would they obey Manaphy's commands? And Poseidon isn't a marine Pokémon, is it? Although they are diving Pokémon, they have nothing to do with Water types. They just live at the bottom of the trench and have the power to suppress the turbulent sea, but that doesn't mean they are marine Pokémon, let alone obey Manaphy's commands."

"Poseidon is not a marine Pokémon —"

Fang Yan pursed her lips, almost bursting into laughter.

"Isn't 'Sea God' the name you humans gave Lugia? Lugia is Lugia. By the way, how long does this thing take to process? When can we eat it?"

Latias urged Dialect to speed up.

"All you think about is food! Look how overweight you've become! I'm really afraid you won't be able to fly one day!"

"Please remember, my ability is Levitate. Even if I eat my way into Snorlax form, I can still fly. Thank you!"

Latias spoke in dialect with reason and evidence.

"So you're quite proud of that?"

"Of course~"

Latias proudly raised his little face.

"Instead of wasting your time watching me, you'd be better off helping Mrs. Fujino set the table."

"I know, hurry up, I'm starving."

"Okay! I'm almost there! Hurry up, hurry up, or you might as well roast me!"

"No way, I'm afraid I'll become an idiot if I eat it."

dialect:!

"Stop right there! Say what you just said again if you dare!"

Latias, seeing that things were not going well, turned tail and ran.

"I'm going to keep an eye on the sea for you. Remember to call me when you're done."

After all the seafood was prepared, Fang Yan began to teach Miss Goth and Monini how to grill the delicious seafood into a tasty dish.

Fangyan and the others were grilling seafood on one side, while Meloeta and the others were dancing happily around the campfire on the other side.

In the deep sea, a submarine hovers on the surface. A young pirate uses binoculars to watch the situation on the beach. His orders are to keep an eye on the group of people on the beach with his companions until the main force arrives.

But the young pirate was somewhat frightened by the commotion on the beach.

"Do you really think we can beat them?"

He asked his companion beside him.

"What are you afraid of? There are only a few of them compared to us. Besides, we'll just snatch that Pokémon egg back and run. Even if the police want to catch us, they won't be able to. The ocean is our home turf."

His companion said casually.

But the young officer didn't think so. His partner asked him curiously, "What's wrong with you today? You seem a little off."

"It's not that something's wrong with me—it's just that the people and Pokémon on the beach are too weird!"

The young pirate wore a mournful expression. What kind of good person would dance on the beach around a huge, eerie purple flame? And the dancer was a little girl, performing a dance similar to those they'd seen on some islands, a dance performed to appease a deity.

They were even roasting something with that eerie flame, and after eating it, they drank the contents—

Who is the real villain?

Are all the people in the Sinnoh region this strange? This is too weird—could we have encountered a ghost?

Especially that mysterious, gigantic creature with four arms, accompanied by two identical companions, dancing that eerie sacrificial dance behind the little girl—

Suddenly, the young pirate saw a round figure turn its head and look at them through the telescope, its scarlet eyes shining directly into the telescope, while it flicked its long, red tongue.

"A ghost!"

The young pirate was so frightened that he quickly retreated back into the submarine.

Unaware that its prank had succeeded, Gengar turned around, took the scallop that Fangyan handed it, blew on it twice, then put the scallop meat in its mouth and drank all the soup inside.

"口桀"

So delicious!

Oh right, it seems they've arrived.

Fang Yan paused in his work upon hearing this, then nodded imperceptibly.

Miss Goth glanced up, then continued brushing sauce onto the oysters on the grill.

"Goethe".

It seems there are only two people.

"They're probably waiting for their main force. Ignore them, let's just eat. Miss Gothia, just keep an eye on things."

Miss Goth nodded.

late at night.

Near the small island close to the submarine, several Gyarados were resting. One of them was lurking in the water, watching the submarine.

On the island, a huge, bright red Gyarados gently patted the ground with its tail.

On the other side of the sea, a gentle Laplace and her kin were alighting on the surface of the water, relatively far from the submarine, with their eyes half-closed.

In the sky, a mighty Mk Eagle was flying back and forth, its sharp eyes fixed on the submarine.

"The ruler of the ocean has arrived! My minions, let's charge!"

Excitement echoed across the distant seas as a relatively large and somewhat dilapidated sailboat, under the cover of the night sky, gradually approached the nearshore area of ​​the Sinnoh region.

After rendezvousing with the submarine, they first sent a group of people to sneak ashore on the beach, intending to steal the Pokémon egg under cover of night so they could leave the Sinnoh region unnoticed.

The Sinnoh League recently wiped out almost all Pokémon hunters in the Sinnoh region, so these pirates are still somewhat wary of the Sinnoh League, after all, the champions and Elite Four members here are not to be underestimated.

A pirate came to a tent and was about to open it when he saw a huge shadow cast on it.

He swallowed hard, turned around, and found a large milk can smiling and greeting him.

"Moo~"

Hi everyone!

Before the pirate could react, he saw a huge bull hoof coming straight down on his face.

"Moo!"

You dare come and steal? You'll get a million-ton hoof from me!

The pirate let out a scream. The remaining pirates knew they had been exposed and prepared to take out their Poké Balls to deal with the giant Miltank first.

The leader of the Big Milk Tank grinned, then snorted.

"Moo!"

Take this surfing attack!

Then, to the astonishment of all the pirates, a huge wave appeared beneath the hooves of the Big Milk Can leader, who stood atop the wave with a wide grin.

He looked incredibly happy.

"Moo!!!"

Fighting! So exhilarating!
