Chapter 12 Poachers
The smuggling of Pokémon is a black industry chain that the Alliance has been cracking down on, but has been unable to crack down on.
There are always some rich people who are willing to spend money to buy some rare Pokémon, such as different-colored Pokémon, and very famous Pokémon.
As long as the price is right, these Pokémon will become the target of Pokémon hunters.
"But if it happens in Hualan City, it probably has nothing to do with me." Teng Shu touched Xiao Bao next to him.
There is also an Alliance welfare home in Cerulean City, so these seized Pokémon should be sent to the Cerulean City Welfare Home for placement, and then dealt with according to the circumstances.
"Why does the poaching situation seem to have gotten a lot more serious recently? But I don't think I'll encounter any poachers in my welfare home, right?" Teng Shu looked at his welfare home. He felt that those Pokémon hunters would not target this place.
After all, the Pokémon that are still here basically have problems of one kind or another, and there is nothing special that is worthy of these people's attention.
...
The next morning, Teng Shu got up early. He didn't have anything special to do that day, but after coming to this world, getting up at seven o'clock every day has become a habit.
Getting up at 7 o'clock and having breakfast at 7:30 can be considered as living a healthy life.
However, as soon as he got up, Teng Shu found an extra text message on his mobile phone.
Teng Shu yawned and picked up his phone to take a look.
[Jun Shaqi: Dean Teng Shu, we have three smuggled Pokémon that we seized today and need to place them with you]
The message came at 3:20 in the morning.
Teng Shu rubbed his eyes in confusion. He was not mistaken, this was indeed the news.
"From Hualan City?" Teng Shuli immediately thought of the news about Hualan City that he saw yesterday.
What about the Hualan City Welfare Home? Is it closed?
Although Teng Shu was confused, he still washed himself and went to make breakfast for the little ones.
After making breakfast, Teng Shu used his mobile phone to contact the Junsha Brigade, and then learned about the situation of the three little guys from there.
Charizard, Blastoise, and Venusaur.
"Isn't this one of the three great families?" Teng Shu was a little surprised.
"Well, these three Pokémon belong to Professor Oak, but the nearest welfare home to Professor Oak's research institute is only yours, Teng Shu." Miss Junsha on the other end knew why Teng Shu was so surprised.
Although the three starter Pokémon are also good, they will not be the target of poachers. After all, they are too common. However, these three are Professor Oak's Pokémon, so they are naturally different.
"Professor Oak?!" Teng Shu was even more surprised. Although he had been in this world for two months, except on the Internet, Teng Shu had never seen Professor Oak, who was famous in the Kanto region.
It seems that these poachers this time are very skilled and bold, daring to poach Professor Oak's Pokémon. Professor Oak is a well-known figure in the Kanto region.
Although he didn't understand how these people poached these three Pokémon from Professor Oak, Teng Shu still did his reception work and then met these three special Pokémon at the welfare home.
"Looks fine..." Teng Shu looked at the three Pokémon in front of him. They were in good spirits and had no external injuries, but they were a little depressed.
When Teng Shu was watching the legal program, Ms. Junsha mentioned that in order to prevent Pokémon from resisting, these poachers would inject a special potion to make the Pokémon fall asleep. The side effect of that potion is that the Pokémon will become listless and groggy all day long.
Teng Shu first used the power of Evergreen to sense the status of the three Pokémon. Fortunately, his mind was empty and he had no emotions.
"When will Professor Oak come?" Teng Shu asked while looking at Junsha while putting away the three Pokémon.
According to Professor Oak's personality, he should have come a long time ago, but he hasn't come yet, which is a bit outrageous.
"Professor Oak happens to be in the Sinnoh region right now, participating in a project in the Sinnoh region, so he didn't come here right away. He should arrive tomorrow." Jun Sha said to Teng Shu with dark circles under his eyes.
"Okay, I understand." Teng Shu knew what Jun Shaying meant, but he was also a little confused.
Doesn't Professor Oak have other researchers? Why doesn't he let them take these Pokémon back?
However, since Professor Oak did not do so, there must be a reason, so Teng Shu did not ask any further questions.
Anyway, for Teng Shu, as long as the Pokémon enter Teng Shu's welfare home, he can get some happiness points after being taken away. As for what the standard for giving happiness points is, Teng Shu has not figured it out yet.
"堎, I want to ask, if we find the person who abandoned the Pokémon, is there any way to punish him legally?" Teng Shu thought of Xiaobao's matter.
He already knew the information of the abandoner, and it would be best if he could be punished by law.
"It's difficult. After all, these people always have various reasons to evade legal responsibility." Jun Sha shook his head. For this kind of thing, unless they are caught on the spot, it will be difficult to impose penalties afterwards.
Some people will say that their Pokémon was released, some will say that their Pokémon was lost, and they didn’t do it on purpose and so on.
Moreover, you cannot use Pokémon to determine whether a person is its trainer. Even if the Pokémon knows most of the person's information, it cannot be used as actual evidence.
After all, if this precedent is set, it is hard to say whether someone will deliberately train Pokémon for blackmail, so the Alliance punishes the Abandoners only when they are caught in the act.
Teng Shu scratched his head. It seemed that he would have to place a camera at the gate of the welfare home next time. However, if he placed a camera, those people might abandon the Pokémon somewhere else.
Thinking of this, Teng Shu gave up.
The cameras are useless. As long as they want to abandon the children, they will always find a way to do it. By then, he can't possibly walk around the welfare home as the first thing he does every morning when he wakes up, right?
Jun Shaqi left, and Teng Shu sent the three Pokémon to the lounge to let them rest first. At the same time, the five volunteers who reported yesterday also came over.
This time Sakaki didn't follow him, and Teng Shu was relieved. It would be a bit troublesome if Sakaki followed him.
Teng Shu couldn't figure out what that guy was thinking, and he had to worry about him dragging him into Team Rocket.
Teng Shu is quite satisfied with his current life. There is no future in following the Rockets, a dark organization. It is better to follow the Alliance.
But when he thought of Sakaki having the power of Tokiwa, Teng Shu's expression became a little subtle. He remembered that Sakaki in a certain version seemed to have the power of Tokiwa, but he couldn't remember which version it was.
Chapter 13: The Three-Leaded Strategy of the Wandering Faction
"Mr. Dean, by the way, do you know the homeless gang in Changqing City?" A girl ran to Teng Shu and asked him with eager eyes.
Teng Shu remembered this girl. She was the one who came to donate books yesterday. Her name was Xiaoguang.
"I know. They occasionally come to the welfare home to eat and drink for free." Thinking of the wandering group that Xiaoguang mentioned, a smile appeared on Teng Shu's face.
The Wandering Party, that’s what Teng Shu and his friends called it.
Not all abandoned Pokémon are sent to orphanages. Some Pokémon are abandoned in the wild and then return to nature.
Some Pokémon, after being abandoned, choose to wander around the city. They don't go to welfare homes or the wild, but just become wandering Pokémon in the city.
Such Pokémon are called Wanderers.
However, the Alliance takes a laissez-faire attitude towards these Pokémon most of the time. As long as they do not affect the normal operation of the city, they will not deliberately capture them.
Teng Shu, who runs an orphanage, naturally knows some of the wandering Pokémon. The wandering Pokémon in Evergreen City can be divided into three camps, forming a three-way confrontation.
"Eh? Dean, the one who came to your place is the cute one, right?" Xiaoguang asked excitedly. She had just finished washing the dishes, and the others were weeding in the courtyard.
"Well, after all, the self-reliance faction and the jungle faction will not come to humans for food." Teng Shu glanced at Xiaoguang. He didn't expect that this girl knew so much about the factions of these wandering Pokémon.
The cute Pokémon, led by a stray Pikachu, are best at acting cute and asking people for food, water and medical treatment.
It is also the group with the highest number of adoptions.
After all, cute Pokémon often act cute in front of others, so they are more likely to be noticed and taken away, which can reduce the number of stray Pokémon.
The Self-Reliant Faction never asks humans for food. They rely more on their own labor in exchange for food, such as helping to find things or helping to push carts. This faction is led by a cat boss with a blind eye.
As for the jungle faction, Teng Shu had only heard of it but had never seen it.
Because the Jungle Faction often roams in the Evergreen Forest, looking for food and competing with other wild Pokémon for territory, but they also live in Evergreen City, they are a relatively mysterious faction.
Of course, these factions are divided by bored humans themselves. In fact, Pokémon do not have these names. There are also some wandering Pokémon that do not belong to any faction and live their own lives.
"Hehe, I've seen jungle Pokémon. At that time, I saw a Marmoset leading a group of Pokémon to Viridian Forest!" Xiaoguang chatted excitedly.
Teng Shu raised his eyebrows. Could a Pokémon like the Marmoset be abandoned? But it didn't seem strange. After all, Teng Shu had seen dragon-type Pokémon abandoned before.
Nowadays, all kinds of Pokémon are abandoned, and the reasons for abandonment are varied.
After chatting with Xiaoguang about the Wandering Pokémon, a volunteer came over in a hurry.
Professor Oak comes over.
Teng Shu was a little surprised. Didn’t he say before that it would be tomorrow?
However, although he was surprised, Teng Shu still came to the door and saw Professor Oak, who looked exhausted.
The other person was holding a suitcase in his hand and looked like he had come by plane.
"You are Dean Teng Shu, right? I am Ohmu." Dr. Ohmu stretched out his hand hurriedly, with a hint of earnestness in his eyes.
Teng Shu also knew Professor Oak's mood, so he didn't be too polite and directly took Professor Oak to the place where Charizard and the others were resting.
Charizard and the others had just arrived at the welfare home, and Teng Shu hadn't settled them in yet, so they were allowed to rest in the welfare home's dormitory. But even so, the three Pokémon still had their eyes open, looking dazed and stupid.
The dull gaze was so strong that even Professor Oak couldn't attract the attention of the three Pokémon.
"..." After seeing this scene, Professor Oak fell silent. Then he staggered a few steps and slowly walked over.
Teng Shu didn't continue reading, he closed the door silently.
When he saw Professor Oak again, there were three more Poké Balls on his waist, and Professor Oak's eyes were a little red. The elderly man looked even more tired.
Wrinkles covered Dr. Oak's forehead, and there was more fatigue and regret in his eyes.
"Thank you, Mr. Dean." Dr. Oak looked at Teng Shu and said sincerely.
Teng Shu quickly waved his hands. He didn't deserve the gratitude. After all, it wasn't him who rescued these Pokémon. He just received these Pokémon and waited for Professor Oak to come and take them away.
However, Professor Oak was obviously very excited now, and he forced 30,000 Alliance Coins on Teng Shu, who accepted it.
After all, thirty thousand Alliance coins were enough for him to buy some rations and food, as well as some medical supplies.
"Professor Oak, I want to ask, when will Xiaozhi start his journey?" Looking at Professor Oak who was in a hurry to leave, Teng Shu couldn't help but ask.
"Xiaozhi? That kid will embark on a journey next year." Professor Oak was stunned for a moment, thought for a while, and then thought of the person corresponding to this name.
Teng Shu raised his eyebrows, thanked him, and then sent Professor Oak out of the welfare home.
Professor Oak was also in a hurry to take his Pokémon back to the institute. These three Pokémon had been injected with an overdose of sedatives and may have now suffered some irreparable neurological damage.
And Teng Shu also got his happiness point.
Three hundred points.
This made Teng Shu a little confused.
He didn't do anything, and he didn't know where these 300 happiness points came from. He just stayed there for a few hours, and he could get so many happiness points? Wasn't it a bit too hasty?
