Pokémon: All About the Breeding House

Chapter 509 Shana Displays Her Power

In the morning, as soon as the sun rose, Shana opened her eyes.

Today is her second day at Kanaz Academy. Yesterday, she arrived at Kanaz Academy late at night. After dinner, she and Tomoyo went back to the dormitory that the academy had arranged for them to sleep.

Shana sat up in bed and reached out to touch the side, but didn't find the familiar Gengar plushie. Instead, she touched something else.

It feels smooth to the touch and has a nose and face.

Shana turned her head and saw that her little hand was placed on the face of Tomoyo, who was sleeping beside her. Tomoyo was staring at her with her eyes open.

Shana chuckled. "Good morning, Tomoyo."

Tomoyo removed her hand from her face, sat up, yawned, rubbed her eyes, and said to Shana, "Good morning, Shana."

"Did Tomoyo sleep well last night?"

Tomoyo nodded. "She's alright. How about Shana?"

"This is bad, my dolls aren't here—"

Shana pouted and spoke.

"We can have your uncle bring your doll over."

Hearing Tomoyo's words, Shana's eyes lit up. "That's right! I'll tell Uncle tonight to bring the doll over to me. Do you want it?"

"Then I want a Dragonite."

"Okay, let's get up and wash up."

After Shana finished speaking, she nimbly jumped off the bed and ran barefoot into the bathroom.

"Little Shana, put on your shoes!"

Tomoyo called after him.

"knew!"

After the two little girls had chosen their clothes for the day, there was a knock on the dormitory door.

"They're here."

Shana ran to the door and turned the doorknob. When the door opened, a woman wearing a bow hair accessory stood in the doorway with her hands folded in front of her. Seeing Shana open the door, she smiled and said, "Hello, I'm the teacher who came to greet you today. You can call me Teacher Dujuan."

"Hello, Teacher Dujuan!"

Shana called out in a clear, crisp voice, very politely.

Du Juan smiled and nodded. "Hello, your name is Shana, right?"

Shana nodded. "Yes, she is Tomoyo."

"Hello, Teacher Dujuan!"

Good morning, Tomoyo.

Du Juan looked at the two little girls who were still in their pajamas and asked gently, "Would you like to wear the clothes you brought yourself today, or the uniforms from Kanaz Academy?"

"My own."

"I brought it myself."

"Okay, you guys change your clothes first, I'll go wake up the other students, and then we can all go have breakfast together, okay?"

"it is good."

Goodbye, Teacher Dujuan.

Du Juan politely closed the door, and after waking up the other students, she returned to Shana and Tomoyo's dormitory and knocked on the door again.

The person who opened the door for her was Shana, who was wearing a cute red princess dress and had her hair styled in two buns. Ever since Fang Yan started liking to style her hair in this way, Shana had also fallen in love with the bun hairstyle.

A wind chime floated beside Shana, and behind her was Tomoyo, wearing a blue princess dress, with her hair in pigtails, and holding a pink mini dragon in her arms.

Du Juan was a little surprised. She had originally intended to come and comb their hair, but when she arrived, they had already combed their own hair.

"You've already combed your hair?"

Shana nodded. "Yes, Tomoyo did my hair."

Du Juan looked at the two exquisitely dressed little girls and nodded to herself.

These two little girls must have been raised very well by their parents. Their clothes are clearly the kind of clothes only wealthy families could afford, and that heterochromatic mini dragon is something only wealthy families could own.

"Shall we go have breakfast now?"

"OK."

After Du Juan took them to have breakfast, she led them to the playground to gather. Shana looked around and saw that everyone standing in the shade of the playground was from her school.

Seeing the children full of energy and eager to explore, the principal was very happy. It seemed that they had a good first night here. So he didn't say much. After saying a few words, he handed the opportunity to speak to the principal of Kanaz Academy.

The headmaster of Kanaz Academy was also an old man. He looked at the sea of ​​black little heads in front of him and smiled gently, "I know you are all eager to have free time. So, please divide into groups according to the teachers who called you this morning, and let them lead you on a tour of our Kanaz Academy."

After the principal of Kanaz Academy finished speaking, he looked at the teachers and said, "Teachers, I'll leave it to you."

The teachers nodded, then led their students away from the playground, while the two principals returned to their offices to drink tea and chat.

Du Juan walked among the children and asked, "Our academy has many different classes, such as the Pokémon Beginner Class, which teaches a lot of basic knowledge about Pokémon, as well as the Pokémon Battle Class and the Contest Class, etc."

Du Juan paused for a moment, then asked, "So, which class do you want to join?"

Five or six children gave three or four different answers.

Fortunately, the places they wanted to visit were not far apart, so Dujuan decided to take them to visit them all.

First up was the Pokémon beginner class. Dujuan stood at the classroom door and said, "This is the Pokémon beginner class, and it's the class I'm leading."

After saying that, Du Juan opened the door and led Shana and the others inside.

As soon as Shana and Tomoyo walked in, they saw Professor Oak teaching the students about Pokémon on the screen above the blackboard.

Upon seeing Dujuan lead everyone in, Professor Oak stopped his lecture and greeted Dujuan.

"Cuckoo Pavilion Master, are these the children who came to Kanaz Academy for their study tour?"

Dujuan bowed slightly and then replied, "Yes, Professor Oak, these are children from Twinleaf Town in the Sinnoh region who have come to our Rustboro Academy for a study tour. I am currently preparing to show them around our school's various classrooms."

As arranged by the school leaders, Dujuan needed to lead a group of children on a tour of their academy today, so she contacted Professor Oak in advance to have him temporarily teach the students in the Pokémon beginner class about Pokémon in her place.

Professor Oak enjoys making videos that teach children about Pokémon, which leads to scenes of him lecturing on screen.

Professor Oak spotted two familiar figures in the crowd behind Cuckoo. "Sana and Tomoyo are here too. I was wondering if you were among the students in Twinleaf Town, and it turns out you are."

Shana and Tomoyo were initially hesitant to greet Professor Oak, fearing they might disturb his class. However, upon hearing his voice, they came out and greeted him politely.

"Hello, Professor Oak!"

"Did both Shana and Tomoyo come here on their own?"

"No, Tinker Bell, Mini, and Rapidash are with us."

Hearing Shana's words, Professor Oak nodded thoughtfully, "I see. Well then, you'd better experience life at the Pokémon School."

"Yes, we will."

After Dujuan finished speaking, she stepped forward and said, "Then we won't disturb Professor Oak's class any longer. I'll continue showing them around the other places."

"Okay, don't mind me, you guys go ahead and do your work."

Professor Oak waved his hand and continued the lesson.

Du Juan led the group away from the beginner class and headed to the Grand Contest. However, Shana and Tomoyo didn't seem interested in the Grand Contest. They only glanced at it from the entrance before finding a corner to eat snacks together.

Du Juan walked out of the classroom, looked at Shana and Tomoyo, who were standing together with their backs against the wall eating sausages, and smiled as she asked, "Little Shana, little Tomoyo, don't you like the Grand Contest?"

Little Shana stuffed the remaining half of the sausage into her mouth, filling it completely. She wiped it with a tissue, stretched her neck, and swallowed the whole sausage. Then she said, "I don't understand. Uncle hasn't taught us this yet."

Tomoyo stood to the side, taking small bites of the sausage in her hand. She looked at Shana but didn't say anything.

Fang Yan had actually told them about the Grand Contest, but Shana had some kind of dream and flipped the table over. Later, Miss Gothic hung her from the beam for an entire afternoon.

"It's alright, next we'll visit the classroom where Pokémon are raised."

Gan Juan didn't say much, but led the group to the new classroom.

The new classroom was less of a classroom and more of a small ecological garden. When Shana walked into the classroom, she saw that it was full of flowers and plants, and there were many cute Pokémon. A group of students were learning how to take care of Pokémon under the guidance of their teacher.

"The main purpose here is to train students who want to become nurturers."

Du Juan gave a brief explanation, and then took Shana and the others to listen to the teacher's lecture.

After the teacher finished explaining, he let the students practice by grooming and washing some of the Pokémon themselves.

A group of students were carrying out the practical operation in a very professional manner.

The teacher, who seemed to be an educator, stood up and greeted Du Juan, "Are these the children who came for the study tour?"

Du Juan nodded. "They seem to like it here."

Apart from Shana and Tomoyo, everyone else was intently watching as others cleaned the Pokémon.

If someone hits them too hard, it might provoke the Pokémon to cry out, but the Pokémon don't attack them. After all, these are Pokémon specially bred by the school, and they are gentle Pokémon at that.

The teacher seemed to really like the group of children who came for the study tour. He walked over, asked a few questions in a low voice, and then casually picked up an elegant cat, groomed its fur and checked its body in front of everyone. At the same time, he also taught the children some key points about grooming.

Du Juan stood to the side, watching carefully and enjoying the atmosphere of the children immersing themselves in communicating with Pokémon.

Indeed, nothing is better than the time spent with Pokémon.

However, this atmosphere was quickly broken by a crisp sound.

"You're wrong, that's not how it is!"

Du Juan and the breeder teacher turned around and saw Shana talking to a boy a few years older than her: "You're being too gentle with your hands; that won't do."

The boy looked up at Shana in confusion, then realized that Shana was much younger than him. He dismissed it as childish tantrums and ignored Shana, continuing to massage the dazed fire camel next to him.

Seeing that the boy was ignoring her, Shana frowned as she watched the stunned fire camel's body twitching slightly, carefully recalling what Fang Yan had said to her at the breeding house.

Because the temperature around the Fire Camel was much higher than the surrounding area, Shana soon found herself drenched in sweat.

Seeing that Shana was still staring at him, the boy said helplessly, "I'm massaging the Fire Camel's body to help it relax and relieve its internal heat."

"No, the temperature of a Fire Camel is usually not this high."

Shana wiped the sweat from her forehead, her mind still replaying something, when suddenly her eyes lit up.

"I see!"

Shana walked over and grabbed the boy's arm. The boy tried to break free, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't.

Boy: ? ? ?

Shana pulled him up, then knelt beside the Fire Camel, gently stroking its head: "Are you feeling unwell?"

The dull fire camel lay on the ground and nodded gently.

"It's okay, it'll be fine soon. Is your back uncomfortable?"

Shana moved her hand to the back of the Fire Camel, and the Fire Camel nodded again.

Du Juan and the nursery teacher walked over, and the boy started to complain, "Teacher—"

"Wait a minute."

The teacher from the nursery school gave a soft shushing.

"Here? I see. Here too? Okay, I understand. Lie down first."

The dazed fire camel lying on the ground turned around and looked at Shana curiously.

Am I lying down right now?

"Oh no, that's not how you lie down. You know what a turtle lying down is like?"

Dumbfire Camel: ? ? ?

Turtle lying down?

Shana scratched her head. "How can you be so stupid!"

Dumbfire Camel: ? ? ?

Tomoyo whispered from the side, "Little Shana, that's what we call it at the nursery. Tell it to lie down like a turtle."

"Oh, you know what 'turtle-lying' means? Lying down like a turtle."

The silly fire camel finally realized what was happening, struggled to its feet, then suddenly split its limbs and collapsed to the ground.

"That's right, get ready, I'm coming!"

Shana rode directly on the back of the Fire Camel and pressed her hand against its back.

The dull fire camel nodded as if facing a formidable enemy.

"Don't be afraid, I'll count to three, and then you can just close your eyes."

The silly fire camel listened intently as Shana counted.

Just as it was wondering why Shana hadn't started counting yet, Shana blurted out, "Three!"

Then press it down hard.

Splat!

The Fire Camel's limbs were suspended in mid-air, and its tongue was sticking out.

"Okay, continue, three!"

Splat!

The dazed fire camel drooled.

Ah—so comfortable!

The silly fire camel stared wide-eyed, feeling the comfort returning to its body, and felt as if the whole camel was floating on air.

Shana continued massaging the back of the fire camel. When she saw the people around her looking at her in surprise, she looked up and grinned.

"Don't worry, the Fire Camel usually lives in places with high temperatures. It needs to use hard objects to relieve the pressure from the bulge on its back, especially when it is about to evolve. Its energy will increase dramatically, and the bulge on its back will become heavier. This will make it feel like it is carrying a mountain. We need to help it relax its muscles and bones to prevent its body from being affected by overly stiff muscles and bones during evolution."

As Shana spoke, she pressed hard on the back of the dazed fire camel, then on its neck. The only sounds in the classroom, besides the cracking of bones, were Shana's voice.

Shana grabbed the last hind leg of the Fire Camel and twisted it hard, making the Fire Camel feel like it was flying into the sky.

After spinning the Fire Camel around in the air a few times, Shana put it down on the ground and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Done!"

Shana clapped her hands, looked at the silly fire camel that had started to stand up again and run happily, and showed a sincere smile, "Little Shana was so tired."

The Fire Camel felt an unprecedented sense of comfort throughout its body, as if something on its hump was about to explode. It felt as if something had been opened up in its body, and the fire energy inside began to gush out continuously.

"You'd better leave now, it's not over yet."

Shana stood in front of Tomoyo, shielding her behind her. She glanced at the people around them and gestured for them to step back.

Du Juan, puzzled, looked at the nurturer teacher, who hesitated for a moment before nodding.

So they led the students back.

Shana took out a Poké Ball and threw it.

"Fiery Horse, go help it."

A flash of red light appeared, and the fiery horse, engulfed in grayish-white flames, reared up and neighed. Then, watching the dazed fire camel's body gradually turn red, it slid its front hooves, and the flames on its back grew even hotter.

That is—

Du Juan looked at the strangely colored fiery horse and was surprised; it was incredibly strong.

The breeder teacher exclaimed that the Rapidash had been bred very well.

"Don't worry, Fire Camel, just attack it."

Shana commanded the Fire Camel to attack the Flame Horse. Upon hearing this, the Fire Camel unleashed all the uncontrollable energy within its body at the Flame Horse.

The intense heat gave everyone a faint smell of burning, but the flames were completely absorbed by the Blazing Horse when they touched it.

Ignition property triggered.

The flames on the Fiery Horse's back burned even brighter.

After venting his anger, the dazed fire camel lay weakly on the ground. Then, his body was suddenly covered by a light, and his body gradually grew larger in the light.

When the light faded, the Dullfire Camel evolved into the Fire-Breathing Camel.

"Okay, finally done."

Little Shana breathed another sigh of relief, ran over and hugged the Fiery Horse's neck, giggling.

"Flaming Horse is awesome."

The fiery horse gently bumped its head against Shana's head.

Shana and Tomoyo were sitting on stools, drinking iced beverages. The scorching heat had made them sweat a lot, so Ms. Dujuan offered them a bottle of chilled drink.

Du Juan and the nursery teacher came over. Shana sat on the stool, swinging her short legs and blinking at the two teachers.

Du Juan smiled gently, "Don't worry, Fire Camel is fine now. Teacher Lin has checked it and Fire Camel has returned to normal."

"Because little Shana has already finished massaging it."

Shana took a sip of the chilled drink and felt it wasn't as good as the chilled tree juice from the nursery.

The breeder teacher named Teacher Xiaolin squatted down and asked Shana, "Little Shana knows a lot about the Fire Camel?"

"I don't know."

"How do you know it's not feeling well?"

-

"Hmm—it's acting strange."

"Are you in a bad mood?"

"Yeah, I'm not feeling well, I feel a bit uncomfortable. Feeling uncomfortable usually means I'm physically unwell."

"How did you know it had a problem with its back?"

"I asked that, didn't Little Shana just put her hand all over its body and ask it?"

Ms. Kobayashi paused for a moment, then thought back carefully and realized it was indeed true.

"I see? How did you know it was about to evolve?"

"I didn't know it at first, but I found out later."

"Um?

"When I was massaging it, I noticed that the temperature of its breath was getting higher and higher. Since it is a Fire-type Pokémon, the reason why the internal temperature of a Fire-type Pokémon is getting higher and higher is either because it has nowhere to release its energy, or because it has eaten something bad, or because it is about to evolve and its energy is surging."

"Nowhere to vent?"

Ms. Kobayashi asked in confusion.

"Yes, Uncle said that Fire-type Pokémon are one of the types most likely to produce Pokémon with bad tempers. This is because fire is inherently very violent. Another reason is that Fire-type Pokémon need to release their Fire-type energy frequently, otherwise, if it accumulates, it can easily cause health problems."

Shana thought for a moment and then added, "There are also Electric-type Pokémon, just like Fire-type, but the reason seems to be more complicated than that of Fire-type Pokémon. It seems like there's something inside them, but I forgot."

Don't be fooled by Shana's tendency to run around aimlessly in the breeding center. In fact, half of the Fujino couple's Pokémon care techniques were learned from Shana. In terms of Pokémon care, Shana is only slightly inferior to Fang Yan.

Fang Yan and the Fujino couple also clearly see that Shana's way of taking care of Pokémon is somewhat unconventional.

The reason why he failed the intermediate-level dialect educator assessment is because he is a practitioner, and his practical knowledge far exceeds his theoretical knowledge.

Shana is even more so; she can always detect Pokémon problems in unexpected ways and take even more unexpected care measures to look after them.

For example—spinning a top? Or for example—lifting someone up high?

I have no idea who he learned it from.

"When Xiaoshana massages it, it's easy to guess that it's going to evolve."

Shana told Ms. Kobayashi a lot about what she knew, and although she often went off-topic, it didn't stop Ms. Kobayashi from understanding her.

After listening, Ms. Kobayashi felt that Shana's methods were somewhat...

"Little Shana, your methods of caring for Pokémon seem rather strange—a bit of a torture?"

"Oh, I learned this from my uncle. He was away on a business trip treating someone who kept having electric shocks. I learned it by tapping on the ground with a stick."

Du Juan, Teacher Lin: ————

Okay, so it turns out it's because of their simple family traditions.

"However, simply letting Pokémon eat and sleep, or sleep and eat, is not enough."

Shana said crisply, "Pokémon need to move around from time to time, otherwise the energy in their bodies will easily accumulate and cause health problems if it can't be released."

These were phrases that Shana often used when speaking to guests at the breeding shed, and over time she memorized them.

Ms. Kobayashi shook her head, surprised that a little girl under ten years old would be so knowledgeable about taking care of Pokémon.

Shana sighed inwardly.

If you take care of Pokémon like this at the breeding center, the breeding center will go out of business very quickly!
