In the morning, he made breakfast for Slowpoke, watched Slowpoke finish eating, and helped Slowpoke get rid of the fleas on its body. But he really didn't expect that he just went to buy some anthelmintic and Slowpoke left like that, quietly.
Teng Shu rubbed his face, then leaned tiredly against a tree trunk nearby.
He suddenly remembered something.
Teng Shu actually doesn't like growing up very much. It's not that Teng Shu still wants to be a young man, but as people get older, they always have to slowly begin to face birth, aging, sickness and death, and face the pain of their family and friends leaving them one by one.
In such pain, sudden separation is the biggest blow and the most difficult to let go. However, if the person has struggled in the hospital for a long time, it may make people feel that death is sometimes a relief.
"Slowpoke..." Teng Shu looked at the insect repellent in his hand. He really didn't expect that he just bought an insect repellent and Slowpoke's life ended like this. This caught Teng Shu off guard and made him unable to let it go.
But no matter what, Teng Shu has to do what he should do.
"Akai!" Teng Shu shouted, and after a moment, the bushes in front of Teng Shu quietly parted, and the body of the Slowpoke was lifted up and flew out, gently landing in Teng Shu's hands.
Generally speaking, the average weight of a Slowpoke is around thirty-six kilograms, but in the case of this Slowpoke, Teng Shu discovered that it should be only a little over twenty kilograms, less than thirty kilograms.
If you buy more groceries, you will naturally become more sensitive to weight.
Teng Shu held the Slowpoke in his arms, looked at the black spots on its body, was silent for a moment, then picked up the anthelmintic and helped the Slowpoke to deworm.
After finishing, Teng Shu carried Slowpoke to the infirmary.
In the infirmary, Baby Dragon was receiving treatment and Locke was observing. But as Teng Shu walked in holding Slowpoke, the atmosphere in the entire infirmary became quiet.
"Locke, record this, Slowpoke... died of old age." Teng Shu paused while speaking, took a long breath, and then continued.
"Okay." Locke walked over quickly and examined Slowpoke. Teng Shu watched from the side. He had to take the death certificate issued by Locke to fill out the form and then submit it to the Alliance. This process was originally quite complicated.
When Gangster Crocodile died before, it was the people from the Alliance who came to check and deal with it, but now, Locke can take over and there is no need for the Alliance to check at all.
The baby dragon who was being treated silently looked at the Slowpoke lying motionless on the bed.
Baby Dragon has seen Slowpoke, but Slowpoke is always in a daze or sleeping for a long time, so Baby Dragon doesn’t have much impression of Slowpoke, but he also knows that Slowpoke is a member of the welfare home.
And now, baby dragon it can smell the scent of death.
death.
An ultimate question, and also a question that makes countless lives equal.
"Preliminary examination...multiple organ failure due to age, cardiac arrest, natural death." Locke quickly gave a preliminary examination. Although he was a psychiatrist, it was not a problem for him to do these examinations.
Teng Shu didn't say anything. Maybe dying of old age was a good thing for Slowpoke?
At least you don’t have to suffer from illness.
Chapter 226: Box and Gastly
The world did not stop moving because of Slowpoke's departure.
In other words, the world will never stop running because of the departure of any life.
The Slowpoke, which was 1.2 meters tall and weighed 28 kilograms, finally turned into a small box, and the weight of the box was less than 300 grams.
Teng Shu planned to bury Slowpoke himself in the cemetery behind the welfare home, next to Crocodile.
This time, Teng Shu did not let anyone else come to send him off. Only Charmander insisted on coming to send him off after hearing the news. Only then did Teng Shu let Charmander follow him.
"For such a big Slowpoke, in the end all we have is this box." Teng Shu touched the box in his hand. The quality of the box can only be described as average. After all, it was funded by the alliance's charity funds, so we couldn't expect a very good box.
This is not to say that Teng Shu is unwilling to pay, after all, Teng Shu is still quite rich now, but the deaths in the welfare home are all handled by the alliance, so Teng Shu has no way to pay. However, looking at the box in his hand, Teng Shu feels that such a box is actually not bad.
Charmander tugged at the corner of Teng Shu's clothes and stretched out his hand, wanting to touch it, but stretched in the wrong direction. Seeing this, Teng Shu brought Slowpoke's urn over and let Charmander touch it.
Cold touch.
This was the only feeling in Charmander's mind.
It was just like that winter when the body temperature of the Slowpoke who slept beside him because he was afraid that he would be cold, it was bone-chillingly cold.
The little dragon opened its mouth in despair. It wanted to cry, but it had no eyes and had lost its tear glands. It didn't even have the right to cry. It could only let out a sad and hoarse wailing sound.
The wailing sound echoed in the cemetery, and a figure floated out from the tombstone of the gangster crocodile.
Ghost.
A Gastly appeared here strangely. It stared at Teng Shu quietly, at Charmander, and at the box in Teng Shu's hand.
Teng Shu looked at the Gastly in astonishment.
Was it the will-o'-the-wisp? Or did it come from outside? After all, the existence of the Death Beacon made this cemetery somewhat attractive to ghost Pokémon, but the other party came out of the grave of the Hooligan Crocodile, and Teng Shu didn't know what the other party was like.
However, Teng Shu still buried the urn in the cemetery and covered it with soil.
Looking at the smooth soil, Teng Shu was a little dazed. The Slowpoke was gone. How long would people remember it? Teng Shu didn't know, but he would always remember it.
Generally speaking, there are three stages of death. The first is physiological death, when the heart stops beating and the consciousness stops functioning, which is medically recognized as death. The second is social death, when all identity information is revoked and the person will be found dead in the future. The last one is forgetfulness.
The moment someone is completely forgotten, the existence of that person is completely gone. Teng Shu feels that this is probably the reason why so many people want to leave their names in history. After all, as long as their names are recorded in history, they are immortal in a sense.
Charmander also stopped wailing at this moment. It just dully stroked the soil of Slowpoke and its tombstone, as if it could touch Slowpoke's face in this way.
Teng Shu looked at Charmander and thought of the medical cabin in the infirmary. He didn't know if the medical cabin could cure Charmander's eye disability, but if Baby Dragon could be cured, then theoretically, Charmander should be able to be cured as well, right? Teng Shu wasn't sure.
"You..." Teng Shu looked at Gastly, and then Gastly went back into the tombstone in an instant, which made Teng Shu's mouth twitch. What's wrong with this Gastly? However, this behavior style made the protagonist certain that this guy was definitely the will-o'-the-wisp he had seen before. After all, this behavior style was almost exactly the same as that will-o'-the-wisp.
This made Teng Shu feel a little amused, but also had some complicated emotions. After all, the little guy Crocodile was very much liked by Teng Shu. Although Teng Shu was not sure whether this Gastly was the incarnation of Crocodile's soul, Teng Shu felt that no matter whether it was or not, it was good enough that Gastly could appear here.
"Charmander, come with me." Teng Shu glanced at the tombstone behind him, then left the cemetery with Charmander. He did not intend to disturb the rest of the deceased. The dead are gone, and the living need to continue to live on with strength.
Teng Shu brought the depressed Charmander to the infirmary. Now the baby dragon had been treated. There was no one else in the infirmary except Locke who was sitting there typing on the keyboard.
"Dean... are you planning to let Charmander give it a try?" Locke was originally still writing his thesis, and when he saw Teng Shu he was planning to comfort Teng Shu, but then he noticed Charmander following behind Teng Shu, and Locke instantly realized what the protagonist was planning to do.
"Well, after all, the disability of the baby dragon can be cured, so it's possible that Charmander's eye can be cured as well." Teng Shu nodded. He did intend to give it a try. If it could be cured, then it would be a good thing for Charmander.
Locke seemed to be hesitant to speak, but he didn't say anything. Instead, he followed Teng Shu and took a look.
Teng Shu carried Charmander to the medical cabin.
[The eyeball and surrounding nerves are missing and cannot be treated]
[The next medical cabin upgrade is required]
Only Teng Shu could see the second clue. Teng Shu scratched his head. Is it impossible?
"It's indeed uncurable. But this is normal. After all, the eyes are a very magical part, and the difficulty is different from that of the limbs." Locke didn't see the second prompt. He just sighed that it was indeed uncurable.
"Is it so difficult to treat the eyes?" Teng Shu couldn't help but ask, and Locke nodded.
"There are a lot of nerves in this area of the eyes, so it is not easy to treat. Moreover, Charmander's eyeball has been missing for so long. Even if there are any remaining nerves, they are probably already weak." Locke explained, and Teng Shu understood.
He had heard before that the eyeball is sometimes not considered a part of the body. The immune system does not attack because it cannot detect the existence of the eyeball. If it detects it, it will attack the eyeball and cause blindness, or even the need to remove the eyeball.
"Charmander, it's okay. It can be cured sooner or later." Teng Shu touched Charmander's head and comforted him, but Charmander didn't show much emotion. He just lay in the medical cabin in a daze.
It seems that the departure of Slowpoke has dealt a heavy blow to Charmander.
Teng Shu didn't have any good solution for this. Such scars could only be healed slowly by time, although they would still remain.
Chapter 227 Two Adopters
"Lalvasi...was the application approved? That's a good thing." Teng Shu was sitting in the office, typing out Slowpoke's death report, and then he received an email. He opened it and found out that Lalvasi's chronic disease insurance had been approved. The next medicine he would buy for Lalvasi would also be cheaper. Teng Shu decisively bought a few boxes as a backup.
It will still take some time to deliver it, but the medicine that Teng Shu had obtained before was enough for Lalu Lasi to take. And Lalu Lasi's condition has indeed improved a lot during this period. At least he has remembered Teng Shu. The only thing is that he doesn't know how to treat Lalu Lasi's problem. Teng Shu has seen it before, and if he wants to treat him, he still needs to upgrade the medical cabin.
The fact that Lalu Lasi passed the review also made Teng Shu feel a little better. Although he still lamented the impermanence of life, Teng Shu also knew that such things would still happen in the future.
Lada and Koudahua are getting older and they will leave sooner or later.
"I should ask the league to increase my salary..." Teng Shu pinched his brows and then lay down on the chair tiredly. So many things had happened before the day had even passed. It was outrageous enough.
Just as Teng Shu was sighing, another email came to his mailbox. Teng Shu clicked it and took a look.
[Dean Teng Shu, two adopters will come to adopt Pokémon tomorrow afternoon. Please prepare for their reception.]
There were also two pieces of information about adoptive parents attached. Teng Shu clicked on them and saw that it was Youyang.
"Is this kid finally going to adopt someone?" There was a hint of smile in Teng Shu's eyes. It was within Teng Shu's expectation that Youyang was going to adopt Vileplume. After all, Youyang and Vileplume had developed some bonds before. However, Teng Shu originally thought that Xiaozhi would adopt Vileplume, after all, Xiaozhi also cared about Vileplume very much.
The other adopter was very normal. Teng Shu took a look and found out that he was a farmer who lived near Changqing City. His name was Hua Rui, a somewhat unique name. The person he wanted to adopt was a mud donkey. Teng Shu touched his chin.
Teng Shu had already posted the news about Mud Donkey on the adoption list. Although Mud Donkey was not a very special Pokémon, it was very rare in the Kanto region after all, so it was normal for it to have an adopter so quickly, and Teng Shu was also very satisfied with the other party's identity.
Although Ni Luzi has only been with Teng Shu for a few days, Teng Shu has already noticed that this little guy is a hyperactive person who feels uncomfortable if he doesn't move. So in Teng Shu's opinion, whether the adopter can support Ni Luzi's daily exercise amount is a very critical issue.
Apparently, the farmer has the ability to let the donkey move freely, but whether he can be adopted or not depends on the matching value.
"Dean Teng Shu." Qinglu knocked on the door.
The door of Teng Shu's office was not closed, but Qinglu knocked anyway.
"Qinglu, what's wrong?" Teng Shu looked at Qinglu curiously. Qinglu had been paying attention to the situation of the Abandoned Monkey before, and he didn't know how she suddenly came here.
"Dean, can I adopt a Pokémon?" Qinglu asked. Teng Shu was stunned for a moment. Qinglu wanted to adopt a Pokémon from him? This surprised him. After all, Qinglu was Professor Oak's grandson. Logically, Qinglu should not lack Pokémon. He could even take a dragon Pokémon with him easily.
It is not easy to train dragon-type Pokémon. It requires a long period of resource infusion, and most dragon-type Pokémon do not have very good combat effectiveness before they grow up. This leads to a lot of initial investment. In the Pokémon League, dragon-type Pokémon can generally only be trained by those who have a certain level of strength or whose families are well-off.
"Do you want to adopt? Who have you chosen?" Teng Shu was a little curious. He didn't see any matching value on Qinglu's head. If Qinglu wanted to adopt, then he should be able to see the matching value, but Teng Shu couldn't see it now.
So Qinglu probably has no intention of adopting the child.
"No, it's not me. Sorry, I said the wrong thing. What I meant was that I have an idea of adopting Gauntlet and Geodude." Qinglu explained hurriedly. Teng Shu raised his eyebrows, but didn't say anything. Instead, he motioned Qinglu to continue.
Qinglu spoke very quickly, and Teng Shu understood Qinglu's thoughts after listening to him. He didn't expect that Qinglu could also see through what Armstrong and Geodude were thinking, but it was normal when he thought about it carefully. After all, everyone saw Armstrong and Geodude's performance, even the old man noticed it. But there was not much the old man could do. He could only help them clean up and give them some tree fruits or something.
Qinglv's opinion is to let Armored Skeleton and Geodude go to the rescue team and let the people in the rescue team adopt them. After all, these people specialize in this and have some experience in this area. Besides, Geodude and Armored Skeleton probably won't object.
"Your suggestion is good, but the problem is that we can't be sure whether the rescue team is willing to adopt the animal." Teng Shu pinched his eyebrows with a headache.
Teng Shu felt that what Qinglu said was actually quite right. Based on the situation of Geodude and Armored Skeleton, Teng Shu felt that they would not be opposed to joining the rescue team. It could even be said that the rescue team was the best destination for Geodude and Armored Skeleton.
But the problem is that adoption is a two-way thing. Even if Teng Shu wants to let the rescue team adopt the animals, it still depends on the team's willingness. Teng Shu can't just force Geodude and Armstrong on them, right? That's not appropriate either.
"Do you want me to help ask? An uncle I know is the captain of a land rescue team in the Kanto region." Qinglu asked. Teng Shu was a little surprised after hearing it, but when he thought of Professor Oak's connections, Teng Shu was relieved.
Professor Oak is a very outstanding Pokémon doctor. He has done so many things and published many papers. He was very popular when he was young. It is rumored that Queen Kikuko and Professor Oak are also good friends. You can imagine how wide Dr. Oak's network of contacts is.
"Then thank you for your help." Teng Shu did not refuse. He really did not know anyone in this field. If he came to find someone, he could only ask through the alliance, but this would definitely not be as good as Qinglu's way of asking.
Qinglu smiled shyly, then took her cell phone and went out to make a call, while Teng Shu sat in the office and continued to type the death report of Slowpoke.
