Pokémon: All About the Breeding House

Chapter 508: It was just someone greeting students outside the plane; it's nothing serious.

"Feed? Bamboo orchid?"

Fang Yan rode on Latias's back, took out his phone, and answered a video chat call from Cynthia.

Cynthia looked at the sky and clouds behind Fang Yan, her cool voice carrying over: "Are you outside?"

Fang Yan hummed in agreement, "I just came from Yosuga City and am now heading to Marshland City."

"What are you doing in Yosuga City? Why are you going to Marshland City right after leaving Yosuga City?"

"Because I just finished testing the gym in Eden City, I'm going to test the gym in Marshland City next."

As soon as I finished speaking in the dialect, I immediately sensed something was wrong.

He quickly looked at the screen and found that Cynthia was staring at him coldly.

The frequency of his heartbeat instantly increased.

"A test for a dojo?"

Cynthia's cold voice came through. Fang Yan looked at Cynthia's smiling face on the screen and heard the killing intent in her tone.

"Uh-huh."

Fang Yan replied guiltily.

"I remember—the time we commissioned you to assess the dojo was not long after the Lily of the Valley Tournament, right? It was early spring, I think?"

"Hmm...it seems so..."

"Summer's almost over, and you're still testing dojos?"

"Yes—yes—"

Cynthia suppressed her anger, her chest heaving violently, a truly terrifying sight.

"How many more are needed?"

"Only Wetland City and Snow Peak City are left. We can resolve them today."

Fang Yan quickly looked away and gazed at Cynthia's face, saying...

"Didn't they say they'd go to the nursery for an assessment? Why did you have to come in person?"

Cynthia suppressed her anger and asked.

"Hmm—Melissa, the gym leader from Yosuga City, just mentioned to me that I wasn't there when she went to the breeding center, and she came back after waiting for a day."

Fang Yan scratched his head and said guiltily, "It's actually partly my fault. I'm probably often away on business trips, which means I'm not there when they come over."

Unfortunately, Fangyan is often taken to other areas to handle other matters, and is not always at the breeding center, which means that some zoo owners may have really missed their chance.

Hearing Fang Yan's words, Cynthia's anger subsided. She thought for a moment and slowly said, "That makes sense. Wusong and I didn't handle this matter properly. We forgot that you needed to go on a business trip."

"So you'll be able to finish the assessments for the remaining Wetlands City and Snowpeak City today?"

Fang Yan nodded, "If nothing unexpected happens, yes. After the assessment, I'll write another report and hand it to Wusong tonight."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work."

"Cynthia said gently."

While traveling in Latias, Fang Yan chatted with Cynthia for a while. Before hanging up, Cynthia seemed to remember something and asked, "Have you seen the Higanbana Tournament?"

"The Higanbana Tournament? No, I've been very busy lately. I just finished dealing with the Unova League's affairs, and after helping the villages near Twinleaf Town solve their transportation and farming problems, I discussed with Professor Oak and Professor Yamanashi which Pokémon would be suitable for cooperation in different regions. I made a summary report and gave it to Sister Leaf and Sister Sa to take away. And today I just happened to be out testing the Gyms."

Fang Yan shook his head, saying wearily, "I'm just the owner of a petting zoo, who knew I'd have to deal with so much stuff—"

"I'm so tired I feel like I'm going to die. Before, all I had to do was lie down in my armchair, close my eyes, and the day would be over. Now, the day always feels so long."

Upon hearing Fang Yan's words, Cynthia's eyebrows arched slightly, and her voice was both cool and gentle: "Thank you for your hard work, my Dr. Fang."

"Hearing you say that makes me feel much better."

"Then should I say it often from now on?"

"It's not impossible."

Fang Yan smiled and said, "I remember the Higanbana Tournament has been going on for a while now, hasn't it?"

Cynthia on the other end of the screen nodded. "I called you right after today ended."

"Oh? It's over? So fast?"

"It's not that fast, it's been about a week."

"It's been that long? My goodness—I knew it, when I get busy I don't even know my own name anymore."

Fang Yan rubbed his forehead and asked curiously, "How did it go?"

"A trainer named Basil led his Eevee team to victory."

"Baguil? Ibrahimovic's squad?"

I seem to have some recollection of the dialect, but not much.

"He nurtured the Ibrahimovic team very well."

"Actually, at first I also wanted to keep a lot of Eevee in the breeding center, they're cute and beautiful."

"and then?"

"I got so busy later that I forgot about it."

Fang Yan shrugged and asked, "How's Xiao Zhi? How are his grades?"

"He lost to a trainer named Kotetsu and was eliminated in the quarterfinals."

"really."

"You don't seem surprised by this result?"

"It's not surprising. I can see the change in his mentality. He could have won the championship at the Lily of the Valley Tournament, but it's inevitable that he would become a little overconfident after going to a new region."

"Could he have won the championship? Wasn't there a player like Dacdo?"

"But many people say that if it weren't for Dacto, he would definitely have won the championship."

"There are no 'what ifs' in life."

"Yeah—there aren't that many 'what ifs'—"

He sighed in dialect.

In reality, Ash should have won the Lily of the Valley Conference, but the real world is the Pokémon world, and losing to Darkor is losing; there are no "what ifs."

"Perhaps some comments made him believe it too. Didn't you see his team compositions in the Unicron League?"

Cynthia felt a little helpless as she recalled Ash's team at the Hibiscus Conference.

"Actually, this is very much like his style: new region, new beginning, new Pokémon, new bond."

"Indeed, that's why I dealt him a heavy blow that day in the Unova region. Coupled with his crushing defeat at the Higaki Tournament this time, I believe he should have learned something from it."

He spoke in a dialect, then looked at Cynthia with some curiosity and asked, "You seem quite surprised by this result?"

Cynthia nodded. "I think that with his ability, he shouldn't have been limited to the quarterfinals in this year's Higaki Tournament."

"Who knows? There are gains and losses, and there will be another chance."

Fang Yan, perched on Latias's back, lazily stretched and continued, "By the way, has Ash decided where he's going next?"

"According to Wanlong, shortly after the final, he said goodbye to Alice and the others and headed towards Carlos."

"Carlos?"

Cynthia hummed in agreement. "It's said that they can't wait to see more Pokémon Mega Evolutions."

Fang Yan chuckled softly, "Maybe he can find his own special bond there."

"Um?"

"Nothing much, just something I felt like saying."

Cynthia didn't say anything more, but instead asked, "Have we arrived in Marshland City?"

Fang Yan looked down at the city below and nodded slightly. "Just arrived."

"Alright, I won't bother you anymore. Good luck."

"receive!"

Shana sat in her seat, her youthful, collagen-filled face pressed against the glass window, gazing at the scenery outside.

"Tomoyo, you're so tall."

It was Shana's first time on an airplane, and she was as curious as a baby.

Tomoyo looked at Shana's small hand, which was tightly gripping hers; the strength in it revealed Shana's feelings at that moment.

Tomoyo gently squeezed Shana's small hand. "It's okay, you're safe."

Shana turned around and looked at Tomoyo. "I'm not scared, I'm just excited."

Tomoyo blinked, looked at Shana's eyes, then smiled at her. "Oh, so are you still going to watch?"

"Yes, I will."

-

After saying that, Shana pressed her face against the glass again, carefully looking outside.

"Tomoyo, look, we can't even see the houses down there anymore."

"Because we flew very high."

"The glass window is so small, you can't see anywhere else."

"We're high up in the air, so the sunlight needs to be smaller so it won't be too dazzling, otherwise we won't be able to open our eyes."

How did you know?

"My parents told me."

"Oh, neither my mom nor my dad told me about this."

"But your parents will teach you how to play with Pokémon."

"No, I'm the one who teaches them. But they do my hair, and so does my uncle."

"Yes."

"Tomoyo, do you think someone might ride a Pokémon and follow us around?"

Just as Tomoyo was about to speak, a little boy behind them said, "How is that possible? The plane is very fast; no one can keep up."

Shana and Tomoyo turned to look at him curiously at the same time. The little boy seemed to be very satisfied and loudly explained, "As far as I know, no Pokémon can keep up with the speed of an airplane."

"You're talking nonsense."

Shana retorted.

The little boy's eyes widened immediately, and he began to argue loudly: "You've never been on a plane, so why do you think I'm talking nonsense? I've been on planes many times."

"My parents are the chairpersons of XX company, unlike you, a country bumpkin who has never seen the world."

Upon hearing this, all the children around exclaimed in amazement.

Children are like that; they easily follow what others say. They are also the group most likely to become leaders, although these leaders are easily replaced.

I think you're good, so I'll play with you. But if I think he's better, then I'll play with him.

Shana watched the little boy talking nonstop and sat back down in her seat, feeling bored.

She and Tomoyo, who was beside her, exchanged a glance, blinked at the same time, and then covered their mouths and laughed simultaneously.

Shana: He probably doesn't know that the Xiaozhi family is very rich, right? Hehe.

Tomoyo: If he knew that Shana's uncle was a champion, and that almost all the regional champions were uncles and sisters that Shana knew, as well as the various Heavenly Kings uncles and sisters, he would probably be very shocked.

The commotion attracted the attention of the accompanying principal. He looked kindly at the children talking and asked with a smile, "What's wrong, children? What happened?"

The little boy began to speak: "She insisted that there were Pokémon that could keep up with the speed of our plane, and when I said no, she said I was talking nonsense."

The principal smiled and nodded, looking at the little girl he was pointing to. Seeing it was Shana, his smile deepened. His voice was kind, "Little Shana, is there anything you're not used to?"

"No, hehe."

Little Shana delivers milk to the principal's office every day and is very familiar with the principal.

She then took a sausage out of her bag, about to break it in half, but hesitated for a moment before handing it whole to the principal. "Grandpa Principal, would you like some?"

The principal noticed her little trick and laughed heartily. Without any hesitation, he took the sausage, broke it in half, handed one half back to Shana, and gave the other half to the little boy.

"I won't eat it, but little Shana, I'll share half of your sausage with him, you don't mind, do you?"

"I don't mind. My uncle said that good things should be shared with friends."

Tomoyo looked at Shana and noticed that after Shana said that, her lips moved. Tomoyo listened carefully, then covered her mouth and blinked, trying hard to suppress her laughter.

She heard little Shana say: I won't stoop to the level of a little brat.

After Shana finished speaking with a smile, she noticed that everyone was looking at the sausage in her hand. She very kindly took out the small backpack she was standing on, took out the snacks inside, and shared some with each of the children.

"Let's eat together, hehe."

Tomoyo watched the snacks she distributed without saying a word, because she knew that Shana's favorite snacks were packed in a large suitcase, and this small backpack was only about one-fifth the size of the suitcase.

The two of them had a clear division of labor when they went out to play: one brought all the food, and the other brought all the clothes.

The principal called over the accompanying teacher, handed Shana her schoolbag, and asked her to distribute some snacks to each child.

"Thank you, little Shana."

The principal patted her head. "What a sensible and good child."

Shana grinned.

The children who received Shana's snacks immediately joined Shana's camp, each expressing their gratitude to Shana while refuting the boy's words.

Saying he's being too absolute is an overstatement; who knows if there are other Pokémon that others don't recognize?

In general, children's friendships come quickly and go even faster.

The principal also took this opportunity to share some Pokémon knowledge with the children on the plane.

Shana sat in the chair and listened for a while, then felt drowsy. So she simply turned her head and pressed her collagen-filled little face against the window again, looking outside.

As the plane flew over the city, Shana spotted a familiar figure and exclaimed, "Tomoyo, look, it's Uncle!"

Tomoyo turned her head instantly, but the plane was moving too fast, and she only caught a glimpse of a red figure flashing by.

Shana's words once again drew the attention of everyone on the plane. The principal knew who the uncle Shana was talking about was.

Did he come along too? Or is he still worried about little Shana?

The children by the window pressed themselves against the glass, looking out at nothing but white clouds, with the occasional flying Pokémon passing by.

"Too fast, Uncle's over there—"

Shana was a little sad.

I miss my mom, dad, uncle, and Gengar.

Shana felt her hand being squeezed. She turned around and saw Tomoyo whispering to her, "It's okay, I'll stay with you."

Shana smiled broadly, "Hehe, I knew Tomoyo was the best."

Seeing that Shana's emotions had recovered, the principal breathed a sigh of relief.

The most difficult thing about bringing these kids on this study tour is that they are prone to homesickness. However, the group he led was alright, as they were all aspiring to become trainers. It was the vice principal's group that was the real headache.

Of course, that's why he was the first to set off.

Otherwise, the vice principal would beat him to death.

He would never say such things to the children.

Urged on by a group of children, he continued to talk about Pokémon knowledge.

A group of children who had long wanted to become trainers listened with great interest.

After the principal finished speaking, he looked down and found that our little Shana and little Chise were head to head, fast asleep.

The principal smiled and shook his head, took out a blanket from above, gently covered them with it, and then returned to his seat.

A quiet environment can easily make people sleepy, especially in the afternoon.

All the children fell asleep.

Shana vaguely sensed something in her sleep. She raised her little head, rubbed her eyes, looked out the window, and then widened her cute little eyes.

She saw Fang Yan riding Latias alongside the plane. Both Latias and Fang Yan were wearing goggles. Shana quickly pressed her face against the window to make sure she wasn't mistaken. Then, she happily nudged Tomoyo, who was fast asleep beside her.

Tomoyo was woken up by Shana. She rubbed her eyes and told Shana what she wanted to do. Then she turned to look at Shana and found that Shana was pointing out the window at her.

Zhi Shi didn't understand, but she still followed Shana's instructions, patted her cheeks to fully wake herself up, and then looked carefully out the window.

Its eyes were just like Shana's, wide open, and its mouth was agape.

That is————

Fang Yan, having gained some insight, turned around and found two little heads pressed tightly against the window, looking at him.

One face is full of collagen, the other is full of radiance.

Fang Yan smiled at them, then made a heart shape with his hands.

Shana couldn't help but giggle, breathing on the glass window and then gently drawing a heart on it with her finger. Tomoyo did the same.

Shana called out "Uncle" softly a few times, but because of the glass window, Fang Yan didn't hear her. However, the principal heard her and walked over out of curiosity, only to find the figure outside the window.

this----

The principal smiled helplessly; this was truly—

The principal shook his head and walked back to his seat.

The teacher quietly asked the principal what had happened. The principal smiled and whispered, "Nothing, just some parents outside greeting their children."

The teacher tilted her head, indicating her confusion.

What? A student's parent? Greeting the student from outside the plane?

Can he fly?

We're on an airplane!

And Principal, why aren't you surprised at all?

Outside the plane, Fang Yan made funny faces at Shana and Zhi Shi for a while, then stopped, smiled at them, and waved.

The lips are making a mouth shape.

Have fun, bye-bye.

Shana and Tomoyo waved to the dialect at the same time.

"Goodbye, Uncle."

Latias stopped and watched the plane fly past, maintaining a safe distance from it at all times.

Watching the plane fly into the distance, Fang Yan rubbed his face, which had lost all feeling, and said, "Alright, let's go back to Shiyuan City and continue our work."

Upon hearing this, Latias turned and flew towards the wetland city.

Just after he hung up on Cynthia, a plane flew overhead. He looked up and sensed through the wooden pendant on his chest that Shana and Tomoyo were on the plane, so he had Latias fly alongside it for a short distance.

"The cows and horses are back at work."

He shouted in dialect.
