This is not to say that Teng Shu is engaging in any kind of Pokémon racism, but it is really impossible to control it, literally.
Magikarp, this stupid and powerless Pokémon, has become so rampant because of its super strong fertility and not-so-delicious meat.
This also leads to Magikarp being distributed in almost all waters in every region of the alliance, and the rate of catching them is ridiculously high.
During some breeding seasons, people say that throwing a stone into the water can kill a large number of Magikarp, and this is no joke.
The Alliance even cleans up the Magikarp regularly every year to prevent too many Magikarp from becoming a disaster.
With the support of these reasons, the Pokémon recognized in the League as the easiest to get started with is Magikarp. No matter what family, as long as they can fish, they can let their children have a Pokémon as a pet, and that is Magikarp.
But once you own it, you usually can't keep it for long.
After all, although Magikarp's strength will soar once it evolves into Gyarados and it has very strong combat power, the evolution of Magikarp into Gyarados is a low-probability event. According to the official survey given by the League, there may only be one Gyarados in 300,000 Magikarp.
Therefore, this also leads to some very poor families, or families that really have no spare money, choosing to catch a Magikarp to let their children satisfy their desire to be a trainer.
Magikarp was useless and was abandoned after a while. Over time, among the abandoned Pokémon counted by the league, Magikarp ranked first with well-deserved data, becoming the most abandoned Pokémon.
"Little guy, whether you can survive depends on yourself." Teng Shu picked up the Magikarp, and the Magikarp kept jumping with its mouth open.
Teng Shu couldn't take the Magikarp back. The Alliance had a special procedure for dealing with abandoned Magikarp. Abandoned Magikarp were thrown into the river to allow the Magikarp to return to nature.
If this is not done, every welfare home will probably become the residence of Magikarp every year.
Teng Shu put the Magikarp in the cart basket, took the Magikarp to a nearby river, and threw the Magikarp into it.
The carp king, which looked like a salted fish on the shore, was like a fish in water when it got into the water and quickly disappeared into the river.
Watching the Magikarp disappear into the river, Teng Shu was very satisfied. Although he didn't know whether the Magikarp could survive, it was at least better than staying on land and waiting to die.
After releasing the Magikarp, Teng Shu rode his bicycle towards the Changqing City vegetable market.
When passing by Pikachu's woods, Teng Shu rang the bell a few times, and soon, Pikachu's head popped out from the grass.
"Pika!" Pikachu was very happy when he saw Teng Shu. He rushed over happily, running very fast all the way.
Rushing to the front of the bicycle, Pikachu naturally jumped into the basket, but then it smelled the smell in the basket and looked at Teng Shu with some curiosity.
"An abandoned Magikarp." Teng Shu explained briefly that these little guys have high IQs and can understand what the trainers say. Some smart ones can even communicate directly with the trainers.
"Pika~" Pikachu called again. Teng Shu also sensed Pikachu's excitement, so he rode his bike and took Pikachu to the vegetable market.
"What do you want to eat today?" Teng Shu asked while riding his bike. Pikachu, the little guy, has been cooperating with him for so long. Pikachu provides labor and Teng Shu provides food as compensation. It is reasonable.
Teng Shu also had some understanding of Pikachu.
This little guy has a rather peculiar taste. He eats everything without any obvious dietary restrictions. Sometimes he can be a bit casual and eats whatever he wants.
When it has eaten all the food, it will not take the initiative to come to Teng Shu to buy food. If Teng Shu does not come to find it, it will stay in the woods like a wild Pikachu.
"Pika." Pikachu called out, then turned his head and looked around. It was unknown what he was looking at. Teng Shu was not riding very fast. There was nothing too important in the welfare home today, so it wouldn't affect anything if he just walked around slowly.
"Roasted sweet potatoes! Roasted sweet potatoes! Fragrant and sweet roasted sweet potatoes! Big in size and generous in weight, look for Wu-style roasted sweet potatoes!" A unique small truck drove over from a distance, but before the car reached Teng Shu, Teng Shu heard the advertisement on the car.
Pikachu's ears instantly stood up and he looked eagerly at the small truck in front of him.
Teng Shu glanced at Pikachu's ears and knew that Pikachu was interested in the roasted sweet potatoes, so he slowly rode over. When he was almost close, he stopped and waved.
"Dean?" The sweet potato cart stopped, and then a boy in work clothes jumped out of the cart. When he saw Teng Shu, he looked surprised.
Teng Shu was also stunned for a moment. He really didn't expect to see Xiao Wu in this place.
However, Xiao Wu Xiao Wu and Wu-style sweet potato do seem to have some connection.
"Xiao Wu? Is this yours?" Teng Shu was very happy to see Xiao Wu. Xiao Wu was hardworking and a nice person. He often did some heavy work and often helped others. Teng Shu was deeply impressed by him.
Of course, it also has something to do with Xiaoguang’s relationship.
Looking at these two people, Teng Shu felt like he was following a romance anime in real life, which was quite unique.
"Well, I'm here to sell some sweet potatoes for my family... Dean, would you like to buy some?" Xiao Wu said with a smile.
"Buy, buy..." Teng Shu took a look at the sweet potatoes at the back of the car. Indeed, each one was very big, and a rich aroma of roasted sweet potatoes filled the air, making people's mouths water.
But for Pikachu, this sweet potato is indeed a little too big. How many can Pikachu stuff into it?
Teng Shu turned his head and looked at Pikachu, and Pikachu waved his paws and looked at Teng Shu cautiously. Teng Shu paused.
He has been working with Pikachu for such a long time that he naturally knows that Pikachu's action of raising its paw means that it wants a few.
But normally, we would need six or seven Pikachus at most, and that was only when the thing was relatively small.
If they were the size of sweet potatoes, Pikachu would only take one or two at a time.
But this time...
"Ten." Teng Shu said to Xiao Wu with a smile. Xiao Wu was a little surprised. The sweet potatoes in his family were very big. It would be a bit difficult for a normal adult to eat one. A person with an average appetite would be full after half of one.
But when Xiao Wu thought that Teng Shu was the director and there were little ones from an orphanage behind him, he felt relieved. He guessed that it was for food for those little ones.
Thinking of this, Xiao Wu personally picked out ten of the largest and best sweet potatoes for Teng Shu, and then rounded off the amount for Teng Shu.
Chapter 42: Huh? You're going to have a baby so soon?
When Teng Shu stuffed the bag full of sweet potatoes into Pikachu's hands, Pikachu lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Teng Shu at all.
Teng Shu's mouth corners raised.
But he didn't say anything. Instead, he put the sweet potatoes in the basket and tied the bag.
There is no way, there are too many sweet potatoes, and if they are not tied up, they may fall off.
Teng Shu continued riding his bike, and Pikachu was too embarrassed to look up at Teng Shu on the road. When Teng Shu was almost at the vegetable market, Pikachu carefully raised his head and glanced at Teng Shu. After finding that Teng Shu's expression was very gentle, he took a breath.
When they arrived at the vegetable market, Pikachu was very attentive. He kept running back and forth, selecting the best and freshest vegetables for Teng Shu. Teng Shu saw this and became more and more curious. Why did Pikachu do this?
After all, Pikachu is a more casual Pokémon in Teng Shu's heart, and he has the feeling of "drink while the wine is here and enjoy the day" and "one person feeds the whole family".
But now he has become so diligent...
Teng Shu glanced at Pikachu. As expected, this little guy must have something to shoulder, and it might be a Pokémon. With the burden of supporting a family, he naturally became more diligent and his demand for food increased.
But now, let’s buy some groceries first.
"Brother Teng Shu, why are you here to buy vegetables so early again today?" An uncle looked at Teng Shu and said with a smile. The other man was wearing a smart suit, and his muscular body could be seen clearly even through the clothes.
"Brother Ma Tian, do you have any good ingredients today?" Teng Shu recognized the uncle in front of him. After all, his figure was so recognizable.
Teng Shu heard that there was a gym that wanted to hire Martin as a fitness coach with a high salary, but Martin refused because he only wanted to be a farmer.
"Of course there is, there must be. Look, bean pods! The freshest, grown by me!" Martin proudly brought out a basket of bean pods. Pikachu on the side ran over, sniffed them, and then wagged its tail.
However, Teng Shu did not need Pikachu's help to identify. Uncle Martin was in good shape and was good at farming. The ingredients he served were basically very good. It was just that Teng Shu came early today, otherwise they would have been snatched away long ago.
The so-called bean sticks are actually cowpeas. Teng Shu eats them occasionally. This food is rich in nutrients and tastes good. Teng Shu took a look and simply bought half a basket.
"Is there anything else?" Teng Shu counted the food reserves in the welfare home and then asked again.
"Yes, it must be there. This is Houttuynia cordata. Only people who know the goods will eat it!" Martin brought out another basket. When Teng Shu saw the things inside, his brows jumped. Pikachu next to him had already run to the side and hid.
Teng Shu's expression was a little subtle.
The smell of Houttuynia cordata is not very pleasant, and the taste is very unique, with a fishy smell. However, this thing is also an excellent food for people who know how to eat it.
Teng Shu himself knows how to eat it. Houttuynia cordata is crispy and delicious if it is washed and eaten cold, but Teng Shu only bought a small amount.
The reason is also very simple.
The little ones don't like to eat this stuff.
Pokémon's sense of smell and taste buds are often relatively better, so for them, the smell of Houttuynia cordata will be more obvious and overpowering, which is not acceptable to ordinary Pokémon.
Teng Shu once bought some and made it for himself, but the curious little Hei took a bite and then spit it out. The other little guys also stayed away from it. In the end, Teng Shu rarely bought Houttuynia cordata anymore.
Then the enthusiastic Uncle Martin recommended some ingredients to Teng Shu, and Teng Shu picked and bought some. Then he added some meat as usual, and that marked the end of today's shopping.
On the way back, Pikachu was holding the sweet potato, looking a little worried. Teng Shu wanted to laugh when he saw him, but didn't say anything.
When we arrived at the woods where Pikachu was and carried Pikachu down, Pikachu drooped his ears and barked a few times.
Teng Shu could sense Pikachu's guilt. After all, it asked for ten sweet potatoes this time.
Although Teng Shu thought it was no big deal, it was obvious that the little Pikachu didn't think so. It felt so guilty that it almost died.
"Eat with confidence. After all, you helped me pick so many good ingredients, didn't you?" Teng Shu gently rubbed Pikachu's head.
Then he withdrew his hand with a twitching face.
Pikachu is good in everything except that it has too much static electricity. Maybe this is a common problem among electric Pokémon.
Pikachu called out, then ran into the woods with the sweet potato in his arms, calling out as he ran. Although Teng Shu didn't understand what he said, he roughly knew that Pikachu was asking him to wait a moment.
Teng Shu was a little curious, so he just stood there and watched. Soon, Pikachu came out again, and behind Pikachu, there was another Pikachu and another Pichu.
The Pikachu in the lead was the one that cooperated with Teng Shu, and Teng Shu also remembered it. The one behind was an unfamiliar Pikachu. When it saw Teng Shu, it showed a guarded posture, and electric currents jumped on its cheeks.
And that Pichu hid behind the two Pikachus, looking at Teng Shu cautiously.
Teng Shu looked at Pikachu in some surprise.
Good man, I didn't expect that you've already had a child after not seeing you for a few days? Is this reasonable?
Although breeding between Pokémon is not limited to Pokémon of the same type, and different Pokémon can also lay eggs, in fact, in the real Pokémon world, most Pokémon follow the principle of like with like.
Cross-species breeding and hatching of eggs rarely occurs.
"You kid...you already have a child?" Teng Shu pinched his eyebrows. He still felt that this matter was a bit outrageous.
The last time we saw Pikachu was less than a week ago. In such a short period of time, Pikachu completed a series of operations including finding a mate and having children. It is truly amazing.
But then he thought, Pokémon don't need to fall in love and get married, nor do they need to buy a wedding house or hold a wedding. Everything is very simple, so Teng Shu felt relieved.
If it comes to humans, if the other person already has a wife and children after not seeing each other for a week, then Teng Shu would think that this is either a marriage for pregnancy or the couple is just taking over and being honest.
"Pika~" Pikachu called out, with some happiness in his tone.
Teng Shu looked at the three little guys in front of him. It was not easy to support a family. No wonder Pikachu asked him for ten sweet potatoes.
It seems that next time I go shopping for groceries, I have to prepare food for this family of three in advance.
Chapter 43 The Unpleasant Guy
"When were you born, kid?" Teng Shu asked Pikachu in front of him.
