"What's going on?" Teng Shu was a little confused. He was planning to patrol outside the welfare home and then go back to the bedroom to sleep, but he didn't expect to see such a scene. It was really strange.
Teng Shu was a little confused, but he still walked out along the candlelight path. Then he found that this thing was even spread all over the stairwell, forming a path.
"Why do I feel like I'm going to be liberated when I walk here?" Teng Shu scratched his head, a little confused about the situation, but he didn't say anything and continued walking forward.
This unique path continued to extend out, but what puzzled Teng Shu the most was that there was no one on this path, let alone Xiaozhi and Rock, there was not even a Pokémon, which made Teng Shu even more confused.
Soon, Teng Shu discovered that the candlelit path led to the cafeteria, which was dimly lit. Teng Shu walked over with some doubts. As soon as he entered the cafeteria, the whole cafeteria suddenly lit up, and the light made Teng Shu subconsciously squint his eyes.
"Dean Teng Shu! Happy birthday to you!" Locke shouted happily, and there was also Xiaozhi's voice, and then the Pokémon's happy shouts. Teng Shu was a little confused. He looked at the cafeteria in front of him. Locke was smiling in front of him, and there was a small banner hanging in the cafeteria that said [Happy Birthday to Dean Teng Shu], and all the Pokémon were on the side. Teng Shu was a little confused.
Next to Locke was standing old man Xingzhen. The old man looked at him with a smile, then walked over and handed Teng Shu a teapot. The workmanship was pretty good. Teng Shu said thank you and put it away.
Xiaozhi's face was flushed, and he was obviously excited. Then Xiaozhi ran over and put a small paper crown on Teng Shu's head. Teng Shu was a little amused, but still lowered his head and let Xiaozhi put the crown on him.
"Birthday?" Teng Shu blinked, and then thought of the novice gift package he received when he came to this world. The gift package registered a set of messages for him. He took a look at it at that time, and then complained, "This birthday is the same as my birthday." But then Teng Shu forgot about it.
After all, in the world of Pokémon, Teng Shu is quite busy. He has things to do every day, including cooking and buying groceries, so Teng Shu really doesn't pay much attention to his birthday. Anyway, he didn't celebrate his birthday very often before, so for Teng Shu, his birthday is no different from an ordinary day.
After checking his phone, Teng Shu suddenly realized that, indeed, today was his birthday.
"Thank you." Teng Shu touched his nose. He was quite touched, although he rarely celebrated his birthday before. After all, for Teng Shu, birthdays were not worth celebrating. At most, it proved that he was one year older. Besides, he was already thirty years old, so he no longer had the idea of inviting friends out for dinner on his birthday like he did when he was young.
Unexpectedly, Locke and the others knew...
No, it should be Locke who knew. After all, Teng Shu's information was only available in the League, and Locke probably saw some information when he first started working, so he knew his birthday. Pokémon don't have the concept of celebrating birthdays, so it was probably Locke who brought it up, and as a result, all the little guys came out.
Xiaozhi and the old man naturally joined in, but these guys were really good at hiding. There was no noise at all in the morning. Teng Shu didn't even think that today was his birthday.
A unique gift box flew in front of Teng Shu. Teng Shu knew that this was given by Akai, so he happily put it away. He had no intention of opening it, but seeing the expectant eyes of the Pokémon around him, Teng Shu still opened it and took a look.
It was a knitted hat, quite thick. Teng Shu was very happy. The weather was cold recently, so it was nice to have such a gift.
He was wearing thick clothes in the winter, but his face was still cold. Such a knitted hat could keep his head warmer. Teng Shu knew that if the head was blown by cold wind for a long time, it would cause a headache, which seemed to be caused by vascular spasm.
Then the Abandoned Monkey also ran over, but he didn't know what to give, so he gave Teng Shu a pair of gloves. Looking at the knitted structure, Teng Shu knew that this was definitely not made by the Abandoned Monkey himself, but probably by Akai.
It's hard for Kai, a super Pokémon, to sew clothes so well.
Soon after, Dong Shi Miao, Dark Crow and Tong Doll Bear also ran up and gave Teng Shu a gift, which was earmuffs. Teng Shu was confused and amused. These were probably the work of Akai. But if you think about it carefully, it is normal, because Akai is the only one in the welfare home who knows how to make these things.
Skullflower and Rattata brought two tree fruits, and the newly joined Pokémon, represented by Charmander, brought a peculiarly shaped stone to Tengshu, which looked a bit like a Poké Ball. No one knew where these little guys found it.
Teng Shu also happily accepted it, but the Stinky Flower next to him was not very willing and even hid behind. Teng Shu did not care. Stinky Flower's situation was rather special. It was like an abandoned stray cat. Teng Shu had just brought it home. Stinky Flower would definitely not cooperate, but it didn't matter, it would be fine later.
"Thank you." Teng Shu smiled happily. He had forgotten the last time he celebrated his birthday in such a lively manner. Now Locke also made way for him. Behind him, there was a huge cake on the table. Teng Shu looked at the cake and was a little surprised. When did this guy Locke buy the cake?
However, Teng Shu did not ask too many questions, but happily spent his first birthday in the Pokémon world with his friends in the welfare home.
Chapter 186 School for Special Children
On the night after the birthday party, Teng Shu originally wanted to rest early, but just when he was about to rest, he saw a text message on his mobile phone.
"Huh? There is such a thing?" Teng Shu looked at the text message on his mobile phone and was a little surprised. He really didn't expect that he would encounter such a thing.
The message was sent by the league office.
[President Teng Shu, in order to carry out the "Caring for Pokémon from the beginning" campaign and to demonstrate the alliance's care for vulnerable groups, we are holding an event for children to get close to Pokémon. Tomorrow, Changqing City Special Children's School will come to your place to carry out the event...]
"I didn't expect the alliance would actually hold this kind of event. But it's going to be tomorrow? Isn't this time a little too rushed?" Teng Shu took his phone to charge with some doubts, muttering at the same time.
Teng Shu could understand holding such an event. After all, when he was in school, he would go on spring outings, autumn outings, parks, amusement parks, and even went to the prison zoo.
Teng Shu had heard before that some wealthier schools would organize overseas travel for their students.
Therefore, it is understandable and acceptable for Teng Shu to think that his welfare home will become a place for the alliance children to play. It's just that the group that came this time is a little peculiar. The school for special children is a kind name, but it is actually a school for disabled children.
Moreover, the timing is a bit too tight. Normally, the notification should be three days in advance. I don’t know why it happened so quickly.
Although he had some doubts, Teng Shu still went to bed. Because of the birthday party held today, Teng Shu slept a little late. He went to bed early because he had to get up and make breakfast tomorrow.
...
Youyang is a student at Changqing City School for Special Children.
"My dear son, when you go to school today, you must listen to your teacher, okay? You can also go to the welfare home to see Pokémon today. This is a good policy of the alliance." Youyang listened quietly to his mother's nagging with no expression on his face.
He was a mute, born mute and unable to speak, so he entered a school for special children.
Youyang hated the pitying looks in people's eyes, hated other people's attitude towards him, and hated the alliance's hypocritical care even more.
Although she said she cared for them, they were put together and their school uniforms were all special. Although the mother said this was a kind of care for them, after all, this would make others more friendly to them, but in Youyang's view, this was a humiliation, a humiliation of separating them.
"....Got it, son?" Youyang's mother patted her son's shoulder comfortingly, and Youyang nodded silently.
Then he carried his schoolbag, took his things, and left home.
Outside the house was the bustling street of Changqing City, with people laughing and playing, but Youyang only felt it was noisy.
The world is so lively, but what does it have to do with Youyang? He is just a mute.
"Youyang, you're here? Get in the car quickly, we're about to set off." The teacher stood at the school gate, looked at him and waved. Youyang walked over quickly, then got in the car calmly according to the teacher's instructions.
Sitting in the car, looking at the classmates around him, Youyang's eyes were filled with a hint of complexity.
Great Arceus, if you really exist, then why are there so many tragedies in this world? Why are they all children, but they cannot speak, hear, or see?
Youyang's eyes became sad. Children like them were so different from the moment they were born, but Youyang never wanted to be so different. He would rather be like an ordinary child.
After a while, the car arrived at the suburbs of Changqing City. It was very quiet in the car. Although they were mute, they could still communicate with gestures.
"Youyang, do you see that house outside?" A companion was sitting next to Youyang, watching Youyang gesture happily, while Youyang glanced at the building outside with a hint of indifference in his eyes.
But he still made a gesture of "I see".
"I heard that this is the largest welfare home here." Youyang's companion gestured happily. Youyang nodded and closed his eyes.
For disabled people like them, it is almost impossible to become a trainer. After all, they cannot command their own Pokémon, so how can they fight?
Although it is possible to fight through sign language, gestures, and some other methods, the journey of becoming a trainer, which is very easy for ordinary people, is full of hardships for a child like Youyang.
Even if you are blind, you will not be able to command Pokémon. After all, you can't even see how Pokémon and opponents fight, so naturally you don't know how to command them, unless you have some special abilities.
Youyang knew that there was a person who could not speak or see, but he became the winner of the regional league championship, but he was able to succeed because he had super powers.
After getting off the bus, Youyang followed his class teacher and stood silently at the door. Other students also came to the welfare home out of curiosity. However, there were not many people in the entire welfare home for special children. After all, the permanent population of Changqing City was not large, so under such circumstances, there were naturally even fewer disabled children.
"Welcome to the Caring Welfare Home." The door was pushed open, and a man walked out with a group of Pokémon. His smile was so warm.
"Dean Teng Shu, I'm really glad that you let us come here." The principal of the school for special children said to Teng Shu with a smile, and Teng Shu politely shook hands with him.
Teng Shu got up in the morning to make breakfast, and then waited for the children from the special children's school to come here for activities. Actually, it was not really an activity, but just to let these children come into contact with the Pokémon in Teng Shu's welfare home.
"You're too polite, Mr. Principal." Teng Shu said with a smile. He looked at the little guys in front of him with complicated emotions in his eyes.
These children are all disabled. Some have dull eyes, while others look left and right curiously and communicate using sign language.
These are all disabled people.
These children were born with disabilities. Arceus took away something they should have had since childhood.
"Dean Teng Shu, according to the alliance's arrangement, we will stay here for two days..." However, before Teng Shu could say anything, he was pulled aside by the principal to discuss the arrangements for this period of time.
Chapter 187 Youyang Wants to Be a Trainer
"What kind of Pokémon is this? It looks so cool!" Just after the free time, Youyang was pulled aside by his good friend, who pointed at the Forsaken and gestured excitedly.
Youyang took a look at the Pokémon that was exercising. From its size and appearance, Youyang knew what kind of Pokémon it was.
So Youyang gestured a number.
"Apex." There was some surprise in Youyang's eyes. He really didn't expect to see such a unique Pokémon in this place, which made Youyang a little excited.
"Youyang, do you know this kind of Pokémon? You are so awesome." The friend looked at Youyang in surprise. He had never known this kind of Pokémon. The Pokémon taught in school were all from the Kanto region, not from other regions. So his friends didn't know there was a Pokémon like Monkey King, but Youyang recognized it instantly.
Youyang grinned. He was very knowledgeable about all kinds of Pokémon knowledge and read the book countless times every day.
But then Youyang's face turned ugly again. What's the use of knowing so much knowledge? Becoming a trainer is an unattainable dream. What's more, his family can't give him any help. They can't even train those powerful Pokémon. How can he succeed?
Seeing Youyang's face become so strange, the friend didn't know how to comfort him, so he could only pat Youyang on the shoulder. The friend always knew Youyang's dream and also knew Youyang's predicament.
Youyang squatted aside in frustration, and then noticed that his friends were gathered in front of him. This made Youyang curious, what were they doing?
So Youyang walked over and found that there was a Pokémon surrounded by the crowd, a special Pokémon.
Charmander.
One of the most famous Pokémon in the Kanto region, Charizard, the final evolution, is very popular and is a Pokémon that many people like to use. However, the eyeballs of this Charizard in front of him are empty, which makes Youyang a little shocked and a little...
Sympathetic?
"Dean Teng Shu, it seems that Charmander is very popular." A woman looked at Teng Shu and said with a smile. Teng Shu nodded after hearing it. He had just discussed the schedule for this period with the principal of the school for special children.
In fact, there was no arrangement. In essence, it was no big deal. Although the children in the special school were a little special, there were only a few arrangements. At most, they asked Teng Shu if there was any place that might be risky. Hearing this, Teng Shu set the small lake at the back for the water Pokémon to rest as a restricted area.
No matter what time it is, and no matter how old the students are, just make all places with water a restricted area.
"Maybe... I can relate." Teng Shu looked at the little fire dragon surrounded by a group of children outside the window, with a hint of tenderness in his eyes.
The principal had gone back at this time as he had some other matters to deal with, so he left the director of the Academic Affairs Office here.
"Huh? Who is that kid?" Teng Shu noticed that among the little ones watching outside the window, there was a student who seemed a little eccentric, and his face did not look very good. However, what caught Teng Shu's attention the most was that this student had a head of yellow hair, which made him look a little unique.
"That child is Youyang, a student in the limited oral language class. He really wants to be a Pokémon trainer." The director of the Academic Affairs Office recognized the child's identity at a glance and introduced him.
Teng Shu raised his eyebrows. He actually wanted to be a Pokémon trainer? But if you think about it carefully, it's actually quite normal. After all, for most children in the Pokémon world, becoming a trainer is the top priority.
But for a child who cannot speak, it is very difficult to be a trainer.
Teng Shu took a look and hurried downstairs. It was almost time to start preparing lunch.
"Now that there are a bunch of new little ones in the welfare home, we need to prepare more meals." Teng Shu stood in the kitchen, looking at the ingredients around him, then picked some out and put them aside.
Although the alliance allowed Teng Shu to launch an event, he also received subsidies. After all, the alliance would not really let Teng Shu do business at a loss.
Therefore, Teng Shu would not be too stingy when using ingredients. Of course, he would not use some ingredients that are too expensive. On the one hand, the alliance would not reimburse them, and on the other hand, the quantity was not enough to use them for cooking.
"Let's make curry today." Teng Shu looked at the ingredients he had selected and instantly thought of what to make for lunch today.
As Teng Shu started to get busy, the rich aroma of curry spread, instantly attracting the attention of everyone in the welfare home. Even the Abandoned Monkey who was exercising couldn't help but speed up his exercise.
"Dean, are you making curry today?" Locke was the first to run over. He looked at Teng Shu excitedly and asked. Teng Shu nodded. He was making curry beef.
Curry is a very common flavor choice in both the Pokémon world and the previous life. However, there are still many choices of curry. Teng Shu chose the sweet taste that is more suitable for children. If you want to eat spicy food, you have to add some seasoning yourself.
