Pokémon: All About the Breeding House

Chapter 501 New Mission at the Breeding House

After washing the dishes, Miss Gothic dried her hands with a towel and floated out of the kitchen. Just as she was about to pick up a broom to clean the petting enclosure, she glanced at the rest area, blinked, and then turned to look at the Psychic Cat sister sitting behind the counter, asking in confusion, "Gothic?"

Was he traumatized?

The adorable Meowth yawned, covered its mouth with its rather broad paws, and then shook its head.

"Meow?"

No, why would you say that?

Miss Goth tilted her head, looking at Fang Yan, who was sitting in the rest area, seriously handling the affairs of the United States Alliance, with some disbelief.

After finishing breakfast, Fang Yan sat there handling business. Even after he finished washing the dishes and came out of the kitchen, he was still able to sit there and continue handling business!

This is completely abnormal! Normally, wouldn't he use the excuse of feeling dizzy from carbon monoxide poisoning to take a long nap?

Could it be that the deep-sea palace yesterday provoked him?

Miss Goth was completely baffled. She floated down to Fang Yan and, under Fang Yan's puzzled gaze, reached out and touched Fang Yan's forehead.

It's not hot—and I don't have a fever either. Am I possessed?

Miss Gothic glanced around the Leixi area and spotted Gengar lying on the hammock by the door, legs crossed, watching cartoons on a tablet.

A ghost is at the door! — Today is really strange.

"Um—Miss Goth, have you touched her enough?"

The dialect voice pulled Miss Gothic back to reality. She looked down at the dialect, only to meet its puzzled gaze. She withdrew her hand and shook her head nonchalantly.

"Goethe".

It's nothing. I was just worried you might have caught a cold after coming back from the beach yesterday. You go ahead with your work, I'll go to the backyard to find Miss Skirt.

"Oh, don't worry, I'm perfectly fine. By the way, if you have time, could you brew me a pot of tea? Use our freshly roasted tea leaves; it'll be perfect for drinking while I'm working."

Miss Goth nodded.

Then, speaking in dialect, he continued, "Wait, I remember we had how many cans of tea?"

"Goethe".

The first batch consisted of twelve jars.

"Then let's send three cans to Master Mastad, three cans to Professor Oak, three cans to Professor Yamanashi, and keep the last three cans for us. That should last until the second batch of tea is ready."

Miss Goethe nodded, indicating that she understood.

After speaking in dialect, he lowered his head and continued to handle the affairs of the alliance.

Looking at Fang Yan, who was diligently working with his head down, Miss Goth scratched her head. No wonder Gengar chose to watch cartoons in the hammock by the door today.

Miss Goth floated away from the rest area, went to the kitchen to brew a pot of tea for Fang Yan, then floated back to the rest area with the teapot, set out the cups and poured tea for Fang Yan, then lit the incense made by Miss Skirt. After finishing all her work, she floated to the backyard to tell Miss Skirt about the strange phenomena of the day.

Miss Skirt, let me tell you, today's dialect...

What?! [Miss Skirt covers her mouth in shock. (jpg)]

Miss Skirt, lifting her little skirt, followed Miss Gothic behind the counter, her little hands gripping the edge, and she peeked out to look at the rest area.

It saw Fang Yan sitting in the rest area, diligently handling his work with a pen, while Nine-Tailed Fox and Röntgen Cat lay on either side of his feet, sleeping with their eyes closed.

Miss Skirt: ? ! !

It has a fever?!

Miss Goth shook her head. "I don't know!"

While the two Pokémon were searching for the reason, Fang Yan took out his phone and called Wan Long.

"Wanlong, could you arrange for a Heavenly King or a few Pavilion Masters to investigate the reason for the large-scale appearance of the Enchanted Forest Dream Erosion and the artificial cell eggs?"

"If you encounter any difficult problems, you can call me and I'll come over in person."

After finishing the call with Wanlong, Fang Yan closed the file in her hand, put it aside, and then, under the shocked gazes of Miss Goth and Miss Skirt, picked up another file and began to work on it.

Miss Goth: Could it be that it has really learned its lesson? Decided to work hard? Decided to earn more money?

Miss Skirt: Do you even believe what you're saying? Besides, this is a matter for the United Alliance; he doesn't have the money!

Miss Skirt: And do you really believe he's a hard worker? How long has the nursery been open? Has he ever skipped a night's sleep?

Miss Goth: But it's really suspicious now.

Miss Skirt: Should we go and ask him?

At this moment, Mr. Fujino led his guests out of the incubation room and looked at Miss Goth and Miss Skirt, who were sneaking around the counter looking at the rest area, with a bewildered expression.

What's going on here?

Even the guests were full of doubts.

Why does this breeding center feel a bit strange? I hope there won't be any problems with the Pokémon eggs I bought here?

Noticing the bewildered look in the guests' eyes, Miss Goth and Miss Skirt stood up calmly. One patted her princess dress, and the other patted her court dress, smiling at the guests.

"Goethe".

"Laji".

Welcome to visit us again.

At this moment, the Psychic Meowth sister, who had been fast asleep behind the counter, also woke up. She rubbed her eyes, looking as if she hadn't realized what was happening until she saw the Pokémon egg in the customer's hand. Then she quickly stood up from the high stool with a beautiful smile on her face.

Meow~

Welcome to visit again!

And so, the guest, full of doubt, walked out of the breeding house amidst the smiles of Mr. Fujino and Ms. Gothic.

The guest stood at the entrance of the breeding house, looking at it, and felt that something was wrong.

"Kou Jie Yi"

Welcome to visit again!

Gengar lay in the hammock, baring its teeth, welcoming its guest to come again.

The guest, clutching a Pokémon egg, scratched his head and, with Gengar's blessing, headed toward Sandstone Town on the path of breeding.

Inside the breeding room, Miss Goth and Miss Skirt stopped dealing with other matters and instead moved two high stools from the kitchen behind the counter, sat down, and kept their eyes fixed on the direction of the rest area.

Super Meow Meow Sister: ? ? ?

What happened? Should I go back to sleep or go to work?

Seeing the little cat sister, who was struggling to stay awake and whose head was bobbing up and down, Miss Goth suggested that she let her lie on the counter to sleep.

"Goethe".

You don't need to pay attention to us, just keep sleeping.

Upon hearing this, the super-powered Meowth didn't hesitate and immediately lay down on the counter and fell fast asleep.

Miss Goth and Miss Skirt, however, stared intently at the dialect.

Five minutes, ten minutes, twenty minutes, half an hour —

Miss Goth and Miss Skirt had more and more question marks on their heads.

Was he really traumatized today?

He didn't sleep today! He actually didn't sleep!

After Fang Yan finished dealing with another matter, he picked up his teacup, took a sip, and just then noticed two more figures behind the counter.

Facing the intense gazes of Miss Goth and Miss Skirt, Fang Yan was filled with questions. Just as he was about to ask them what was wrong, a familiar voice came from the doorway.

"Hey, store manager, are you free right now?"

Fang Yan turned around and saw that it was Grandma Mu Zhi who had entered the breeding shed. He quickly stood up and went over to help Grandma to the rest area and let her sit down.

"Oh, no need to help me, no need to help me, it's not like I can't walk."

Grandma said with a smile.

"Did Grandma come by herself today?"

Fang Yan sat in the chair and looked at Miss Gothic. Miss Gothic had already floated over with a glass of honey water. She handed the honey water to Grandma Mu Zhi, and then floated back behind the counter to continue sitting.

Grandma took the honey water, smiled and said thank you, then took a couple of sips to moisten her throat before replying in the dialect, "Your Grandpa Muzhi needs to watch the shop, so it's just me who came today."

"How did Grandma get here? She didn't walk, did she?"

Grandma Muji nodded, "What's the big deal? I'm not so old that I can't walk anymore, really."

"Oh, Grandma, you could have just given me a call if anything was wrong, right?"

"As people get older, they should always exercise more."

"That's true. Grandma, is there anything I can help you with this time?"

He asked a question in dialect.

"Hey, Manager Fangyan, I came here to ask if your breeding center has any Pokémon that can be ridden. I'd like to rent two of them to visit my best friend whom I grew up with."

Hearing Grandma Muzhi's words, Fang Yan took a sip of hot tea and then asked, "Where does Grandma's best friend live? If it's quite far, I personally suggest taking a plane or a car."

"It's not far at all. It's near our Twinleaf Town. There are many villages around Twinleaf Town, but there are a lot of forests here, and there's usually only one road leading from the village to the town. Plus, some Pokémon in the forest are quite mischievous, so few people take that road. It's mostly young people, and it's quite far away anyway. I was thinking of coming to the breeding center to see if I could rent two Pokémon to take me and my old man there."

"We made a promise when we were little that I would visit her every year on her birthday. A few years ago, she went to stay with her son in Zhuqing City to help take care of her grandson. She just came back this year. Today is her birthday, and my husband and I have prepared gifts. If you can lend us two Pokémon, we can go directly to her place."

"This person cherishes these few friendships more as they get older. It's only been two or three years since I last saw her, and I miss her terribly. When we were young, even though we lived in different areas and didn't see each other for years or even more than a decade, I never missed her this much."

Grandma Muzhi became more and more nostalgic as she spoke, and more and more stories came out of her mouth.

She didn't interrupt her with her dialect, and just listened quietly to her grandmother with a smile.

"You see, as people get older, they just can't help but talk more."

"Haha, it's alright, Grandma. I also really enjoy listening to your and Grandpa's stories from when you were young; they're quite fascinating."

"Haha, as expected of the owner of the nursery, he has such a sweet tongue. No wonder little Shana is so sweet-talking too."

Grandma Muji said with a smile.

"Hey shopkeeper, do you have any Pokémon for riding that we can rent? Of course, but it's okay if it's inconvenient."

Fang Yan reached out and took Grandma Mu Zhi's hand, saying, "Of course there are. To be honest, some of the Pokémon in our breeding center have been bothering me all the time, asking me to assign them more tasks. I want them to live a peaceful life, but they don't want to. They insist on working. That's why I got a scolding yesterday."

Fang Yan gets a headache just thinking about the big milk tanks in the backyard and the goats he rides.

Especially that Miltank leader, how could a Miltank enjoy working so much?!

He really doesn't understand! Isn't it better to just eat and sleep properly?!

"By the way, Grandma, I want to ask you something. Are the roads leading from the villages around Shuangye Town to Shuangye Town difficult to travel?"

Or is it simply that the distance is too far?

"It's not exactly difficult to walk. Actually, every year, Futaba Town sends people to maintain the roads leading from the village to the town. But as you know, there are many forests to the south, especially between Futaba Town and Masago Town, and those roads go through the forests. There are many wild Pokémon in there. If some older people walk alone, some mischievous Pokémon might cause some trouble. In addition, although the distance of the road is not far, it is a bit far for old people like us."

"I see—if there are wild Pokémon, then it is indeed not very safe. After all, not all wild Pokémon are as gentle and polite as the Pokémon in the forest behind our breeding center."

"That's true. To be honest, Manager Fangyan, since you reopened this breeding center last year, the quality of life for the residents of Twinleaf Town has improved a lot. Whether it's safety or convenience, the breeding center and the Pokémon there have really helped us a lot."

L

"This is what we should do."

He spoke in a dialect.

"Grandma, if you don't mind, may I go with you and Grandpa Muji?"

"Because I'm a little worried about your and Grandpa Muji's safety."

Hearing Fang Yan's concern, Grandma Mu Zhi smiled and waved her hand, "What's there to worry about? We've walked that road since we were little, how could we possibly encounter any danger?"

"Actually, besides worrying about your safety, our animal husbandry farm has been wanting to expand our services, but we just haven't had the opportunity. Look, here it is!"

Fang Yan changed her tone and spoke to Grandma Muzhi from a different angle: "As you know, the Pokémon in the breeding center have huge appetites, and I have to earn some money from other industries to support them."

"Haha, you silly child, do you really think your grandma doesn't know what you're thinking? I'm just worried this will take up your time; don't you have a ton of documents to process?"

Grandma Muzhi pointed to the thick stack of documents behind him and began to speak.

Fang Yan shook his head. "I've already dealt with the urgent documents. The rest are just trivial. So, is that settled then? I'll go pick out two Pokémon suitable for you and Grandpa to ride."

After speaking in dialect, he stood up and walked towards the backyard.

"Goth?"

Going out again?

Fang Yan nodded and walked towards the backyard, saying, "I just thought about it. How about we take this opportunity to start a rental business? Miltank and the others keep telling me they're so bored at the nursery. They have nothing to do after milking every day and are almost getting sick from boredom. I hope we can take this opportunity to start a rental business. If residents of Twinleaf Town and Sandstone Town need it, they can rent Pokémon from our nursery to ride, helping them reach their destinations faster. They can also rent other Pokémon to help them with some small daily tasks."

"This way, we can solve Lan and the others' travel problems and some other issues that we can't handle on our own, as well as the problem of the Pokémon at Lan's breeding center being too bored. We can also make a profit. It's a win-win-win situation."

"Once this business is settled, we can also discuss starting a Pokémon rental program, allowing people who want to go out to sea to use the power of Pokémon to go out to sea, what do you think?"

"Goethe".

I think it's okay.

"Alright, let's go there today to check out the road conditions and safety issues in the area. Then, we'll have a meeting at the breeding farm tonight to delve deeper into this problem."

"Goethe".

hope.

"Then go and tell Gengar and the others to bring more Pokémon this time."

Miss Goth nodded and then left Fang Yan's side.

Upon arriving in the backyard, Fang Yan went directly to the leaders of his riding goat and the big milk tank, and told them that he was going out today.

Goat leader: Finally, we have a mission?

Big Milk Tank Leader: Let's go, let's go now. I haven't been out for exercise in ages, I'm about to suffocate.

dialect:"----"

"Could it be that the dog went out to play the other day?"

The leader of the Big Milk Tank looked at Fang Yan and mooed.

"Moo 1"

I've noticed you're quite serious. I was just joking. Hurry up and stop blocking my way, I'm heading out.

dialect:

"————"

Ugh.

Fang Yan sighed and led them out of the breeding house.
