Although metaphysics is not very reliable, sometimes and in some places, metaphysics is indeed believed by many people, such as in a place like the Pokémon Center.
In the Pokémon Center, the Joeys tend to dislike words like fire, prosperity, and busyness, as well as anything related to these things. Of course, they can't say words like "Why are you so free today?" The bottom line is that the Joeys believe that using or saying these things may cause some problems, such as the number of patients who were originally small suddenly increasing, and everyone would be too busy to stop.
Such situations even occurred in places like the Junsha Brigade and the Fire Department, and have become a kind of metaphysics that people believe in.
This reminded Teng Shu of hospitals in his previous life, where there seemed to be similar customs.
If a patient's family member goes to thank a doctor by bringing dragon fruit, mango, or Wangzai milk, the doctor's expression will usually be distorted. If the family member also says, "The hospital is so busy today," the doctor will make a few mistakes when giving injections next time they meet (bushi).
"Thank you, Dr. Qiao Yifeng, but the hospital is really busy today. There are not so many people in the elevator..." The young man sighed, and Teng Shu covered his face.
Chapter 355: Metaphysics is too scary
"That guy won't be beaten, right?" Teng Shu looked at the elevator door closing behind him and wanted to laugh.
Happy Egg shook his head. They were medical staff, not psychopaths. How could they beat someone up just because someone gave them this thing as a gift? So it was impossible. Teng Shu knew this, so he was just joking.
After arriving at this floor, Teng Shu followed Happiny to a ward, and saw the Pokémon that needed to be sent to his welfare home for retirement this time.
A Kentaro.
"...Is this Kentaro?" Teng Shu was a little surprised when he saw the huge creature in front of him. Of course he recognized Kentaro, but what Teng Shu couldn't imagine was why Kentaro needed retirement care?
After all, in Teng Shu's opinion, Pokémon like Kentaro is still very powerful, and its own strength is also very good. At the same time, even if it is not used as a combat Pokémon, if you ride it to travel, the speed will be much faster. It is a very magical Pokémon. But what Teng Shu did not expect was that Kentaro actually needs retirement care?
After all, according to the research data of Professor Pokémon, when Kentaro gets old, he will fall into a state of depression due to lack of physical strength and inability to run. Most wild Kentaro will choose to end his life in one way, that is, running faster and faster, running until the moment of death. This is also called the tragedy of Kentaro.
And now, this Kentaro actually needs retirement?
"Yes, Dean Teng Shu, this Kentaro needs to be taken care of because of a comminuted fracture of its left hind leg." Miss Joy on the side also confirmed this. After hearing this, Teng Shu finally understood. No wonder it was like this. However, Teng Shu also felt a little strange. After all, he found that he could not see Kentaro's information panel. This was obviously not right.
After all, as long as it is an abandoned Pokémon, he can see the panel. This is no longer limited to some previous restrictions. Teng Shu knows this very well, but now it is not possible. What's going on?
"Is this Kentaro abandoned?" Teng Shu asked Miss Joy. Miss Joy shook her head. Teng Shu then understood. It seemed that this Kentaro was not an abandoned Pokémon. No wonder he couldn't see it. If it was abandoned, Teng Shu should have been able to see it no matter what.
"This Kentaro previously prevented a chain reaction of car accidents. Its leg was broken because of this reason, so the Alliance decided..." Miss Joy explained briefly, and Teng Shu then knew the whole story. For such a Pokémon, Teng Shu felt that the Alliance's handling of the matter was very correct. After all, in this situation, if Kentaro was allowed to die, it would definitely cause a lot of social opinion.
Therefore, Teng Shu also chose to accept this Kentaro to live in the welfare home. After that, Teng Shu put Kentaro into the ball. The ball where Kentaro lived was even a luxurious ball, which made Teng Shu sigh at the intentions of the alliance.
After finishing, Teng Shu left in a hurry. He planned to take Kentaro away, buy some books, and then go back quickly.
But just as I arrived at the door of the hall, I saw a group of people wearing familiar clothes hurrying over. Miss Joy on the side had an ugly look on her face, and Happiny also had an ugly look on his face.
"What's going on?" Teng Shu was a little confused. Of course he could see that these people were from the Epidemic Prevention Office, and before Happiness Egg had time to send a message, Teng Shu already knew it.
"A case of Pokémon fever has occurred in the Pokémon Center. All personnel are required to undergo quarantine inspection!" Looking at the anxious look of the epidemic prevention staff, Teng Shu did not know whether to laugh or cry. Now they could not get out, and the young man who had just said that the hospital was very idle today was also trapped inside. Teng Shu's mouth twitched. Could this be the power of metaphysics?
Fortunately, Teng Shu just arrived today, so after undergoing some examinations, he was allowed to leave. Otherwise, Teng Shu would have to be quarantined here for seven days. Seven days? Teng Shu has never left the welfare home for such a long time.
"This world is so scary, and this metaphysics is really scary too." Teng Shu looked at the hospital behind him and shook his head. Happy Egg was still disinfecting on the side. After the disinfection was completed, Teng Shu hurriedly bought a book and quickly returned to the welfare home.
He didn't dare stay outside for too long. Who knew if Evergreen City would be under control later? After all, the mortality rate of Pokémon fever was too high, and he didn't know if the Pokémon that was confirmed at the Pokémon Center was still alive.
After Teng Shu returned to the welfare home, he released Kentaro. Kentaro looked very calm, and Joey also said that Kentaro didn't have many problems except that his organs were slowly failing, so Teng Shu simply didn't take Kentaro to the infirmary for examination.
Of course, the main reason is that Teng Shu feels that Kentaro is not an abandoned Pokémon, and it may not be able to be examined if sent to the infirmary. Teng Shu cannot give out so many happiness points to treat Kentaro.
After sending away Happiny and Kentaro, Teng Shu returned to his office and gave the law-related books to Diancie. Diancie looked very happy and happily gave Teng Shu a gem, which made Teng Shu stunned.
"I will keep it well." Teng Shu smiled, then put the gem away. He was not short of money now. If he was short of money before, Teng Shu would not care too much and would just sell it for money. But now, Teng Shu can deal with this thing slowly.
And Diancie didn't care at all, she was concentrating on reading.
Now Diancie has a dream, which is to become a Pokémon lawyer, and then be responsible for suing those suffering Pokémon and sending those bad guys to jail. So in order to achieve this ideal, Diancie needs to study hard, and then pass the lawyer qualification exam, so that she has certain qualifications.
Teng Shu could naturally see what Diancie was thinking, but this idea of Diancie was rather strange. Teng Shu did not say much, but encouraged Diancie with a smile.
When Diancie really becomes a lawyer, Teng Shu will talk to the alliance about this matter and do a live broadcast to make Diancie more famous. Then the alliance will naturally pay more attention to protecting her. Besides, this is a good gimmick, and Teng Shu sees it very clearly.
"It's almost time to cook."
Chapter 356 Kentaro's Meal Standard
Teng Shu came to the kitchen humming a song. As soon as he entered, he saw Kentaro eating the vegetables he bought. Happiny beside him looked at Kentaro helplessly.
"...Hey, are you eating?" Teng Shu's mouth twitched, and then he asked. Happiny's face turned a little red. Kentaro looked at Teng Shu in confusion, and seemed to recognize Teng Shu. He didn't do anything, but continued to eat his meal in big mouthfuls.
[Sorry, Kentaro came here after smelling the scent] Happiny awkwardly sent a text message to Teng Shu. Teng Shu smiled and waved his hands. Of course, he didn't mind this matter.
After all, Kentaro is a hero of the League, and he has a special meal mark.
This is the clue that Teng Shu got from Miss Joy. Kentaro's daily food standard is two hundred Alliance coins.
What does this mean?
Teng Shu had observed before that the prices in this world were actually similar to those in his previous life. A bottle of fat otaku's happy water was only about three and a half Alliance coins, and an ordinary rice bowl was only about fifteen and twenty yuan. Only the meals that used specially raised animals would increase in price, but even so, Kentaro's food standard was two hundred.
The alliance will transfer this money to Teng Shu's bank account every month, and let Teng Shu be responsible for it. The amount is two hundred yuan per day, which cannot be more or less. If it is less, the alliance will hold you accountable.
Keep eating until the day Kentaro dies of natural causes.
Two hundred yuan a day is about six thousand yuan a month, and all of it is used for food. So when Teng Shu saw Kentaro eating vegetables, he was not angry, but applauded. He even enthusiastically prepared some vitamin tablets for Kentaro to ensure that Kentaro ate healthily and with peace of mind.
Of course, not every Pokémon has a meal allowance. Only those Pokémon that work for the Alliance have meal allowances. Some Pokémon even have their own wages, such as Happiny, and professional working Pokémon of the Alliance like Growlithe and Windy that often appear around Miss Joy. These Pokémon not only have their own meal allowances, but also have wages to receive.
As for what the Pokémon does with the money, that depends on the type of Pokémon.
For example, Chansey might buy some medical equipment or professional books, or keep them for further studies. After all, most of the Chanseys that receive a salary are medical Pokémon and are very interested in this area.
Of course, Teng Shu also heard that some happy eggs would donate their wages to charitable organizations.
As for Houndoom, most of its salary is spent on body care and hair care. After all, Houndoom is just an ordinary Pokémon except for working hours, and it also needs some rest and relaxation. This is a very normal thing.
"It's not easy for these dogs either." Teng Shu sighed when he found out about it.
"Kentaro has a meal allowance, and it's two hundred a day, so you don't have to worry about Happiny." Teng Shu smiled, but looking at the Kentaro in front of him, Teng Shu also rubbed his hands excitedly. He planned to study how to feed Kentaro two hundred a day.
If you post a question on a famous platform for sharing stories you just made up in your previous life, asking "How to survive on 200 yuan a month", then this is called a modern urban survival story.
But if you ask [how to eat 200 yuan worth of meals every day], some people will think that this is showing off your wealth, and of course some people will think that this is just an ordinary problem of nutritional balance.
However, for Teng Shu, this problem is still quite urgent. Of course, Teng Shu does not need to worry too much. The alliance specially sent a template to let Teng Shu know how to make a meal budget of 200 yuan.
In theory, Teng Shu could just do as he was told, but when he saw the various Pokémon rations, canned foods, and nutritional pastes inside, the corners of Teng Shu's mouth twitched.
Is it really that difficult to take care of Pokémon? Of course not.
Especially for wild Pokémon like Kentaro, after all, if Pokémon cannot live without human care, then who takes care of Pokémon in the wild? Wild people?
So Teng Shu knew very well that these indicators were just a reference, and in fact Teng Shu just had to do it himself.
And Teng Shu did have some ideas. After all, Kentaro was a bovine Pokémon and it ate plants, so he just needed to prepare a large amount of plants and mix in some high-protein.
Yes, some herbivores actually occasionally eat some insects or something to supplement some elements that their bodies lack. In some cases, if there are some small animals around that are easy to prey on, they will also eat a few bites to improve their diet.
Teng Shu once saw a sheep pick up chicks from a basket, eating them one by one, just like eating at a buffet.
So even though it is called a herbivore, it doesn’t mean that it only eats grass.
The same is true for Kentaro, so Teng Shu thinks it is a good choice to give Kentaro some high-protein food occasionally.
Happiny was a little dazed. Then it remembered that Kentaro also had a meal mark, but it hadn't noticed it before. After all, for Pokémon like them, meal marks are very normal and everyone has them. It's just that this thing is more unique and has been integrated into daily life, so most of the time Happiny can't react.
It's like human breathing is automatic, but when you see this sentence, you will realize that your breathing can be controlled manually.
"But I still need to buy some food for Kentaro." Teng Shu rubbed his head, but fortunately he didn't need to go now. Teng Shu hadn't thought about this before, but now there was a lot of food in the warehouse of the welfare home. Happiny nodded.
Kentaro had already finished eating a basket of vegetables. After finishing, he moved his legs restlessly, looking as if he was eager to run.
Happiny, who was standing by, noticed this scene and immediately went over to stop Kentaro. Teng Shu watched quietly without saying anything, because he knew why Happiny did this.
Trivia.
When a horse's leg is injured, such as a fracture, most of the time the horse is directly abandoned, even racehorses are the same.
Why is this?
After all, the value of racehorses is very high.
The main reason is that horses do not have the idea or concept that they need to rest. For horses, if they feel uncomfortable, they have to run. Running will cause broken bones, which is more serious. Making them lie down will also cause problems. Anyway, it is extremely troublesome. Therefore, most horse fractures are basically fatal unless the horse is very valuable or you really care about the horse and have deep feelings for it.
And Kentaro has a personality somewhat similar to that of a horse.
Chapter 357 Kentaro: Go overtake those damn cars
Kentaro is also the type of Pokémon that can't sit still. For Pokémon like Kentaro, it seems that the only purpose of their living in this world is to run.
If two Kentaros are chatting while eating grass together, the first Kentaros asks, "Hey, man, what do you think is the meaning of our lives in this world?"
Then the other Kentaro will definitely say, "After eating, run as much as you want on the grass, and pass a few damn cars by the way."
[Dude, that's not what I meant. I meant that our Kensheng could have some dreams or something like that.]
[That means running on the side of the road after eating, and passing a few damn cars]
This is probably the state of communication.
Just like seagulls like to go to the dock to get some French fries, Kentaro also likes to run around everywhere. This is the meaning of Kentaro's life. However, it becomes more troublesome after being injured. The Pokémon doctors of the League have observed that when an injured Kentaro is forced to run, the bones pierce the skin, and eventually he can no longer run and is waiting to die.
It's cruel, but it's also a part of nature's structure.
The current Kentaro has a comminuted fracture. Although the League has cured Kentaro, it is undoubtedly a difficult task to let Kentaro continue running. After all, whether it is humans or Pokémon, their physical fitness is always not as good as before after age. Injuries that can be recovered by themselves when they are young will become difficult to recover with age.
"Do you need something to fix it?" Teng Shu asked, looking at Happy Egg.
He felt that Happiny had a hard time. Taking care of Raticate and Hanako might not be a big deal before, but taking care of Kenshin now was troublesome, after all, Kenshin couldn't help but want to run.
Happy Egg shook his head.
Unless Kentaro is completely fixed, such fixation will have no effect. Instead, it will make Kentaro more irritable, excited, and difficult to control his emotions.
[Don't worry, I have experience in taking care of injured Kentaro]
Happiny is very confident, and exudes the calmness of a top person in the industry.
Teng Shu also breathed a sigh of relief, the reason why he chose Chansey was because of this characteristic of Chansey. Of course, even now, Teng Shu is still quite envious of Butler. The two Butlers, one male and one female, can be said to be must-have Pokémon for wealthy families in the Pokémon world. This Pokémon is really perfect and perfectly meets people's needs for butlers and nannies.
It can be said that if there were Butlers in the previous life, then the price of hiring Butlers would probably only be affordable by the rich. After all, this kind of Pokémon is extremely rare, and Teng Shu reasonably suspects that the design prototypes of these two Pokémon were based on the top key and maid. The creators seemed to have incorporated all their beautiful fantasies about these professions into them.
This is also some of the design concepts of Pokémon. If you look closely at the types of Pokémon, you will find that some Pokémon were originally designed based on certain professions, and it is even difficult to explain why Pokémon has become like this.
For example, it is outrageous that an old construction craftsman can still make concrete, and it is said that this technology was passed down two thousand years ago.
