I run an orphanage in the Pokémon world.

I run an orphanage in the Pokémon world.

Author: Following the Wind and Rain

Summary:

"At first, I just wanted to open an orphanage to take care of abandoned Pokémon."

"The little ones asked me, 'Why were they abandoned?'"

"I choose to let them find the answers themselves."

Teng Shu said with a smile.

The abandoned Pokémon found a ray of light in the darkness.

Chapter 1 The Abandoned Pokémon

"Caw!" With a sharp cry, accompanied by the sound of flapping wings, the vine raised its head.

A raven flew down from the sky and landed directly on the vine's hand, then turned its head toward the gate while cawing.

"Blackie, another abandoned Pokémon?" Teng Shu frowned slightly, and Blackie nodded.

Teng Shu turned off the stove fire, put on his apron, and hurriedly walked out of the kitchen, following Xiao Hei to the front door.

Pushing open the iron gate, Teng Shu saw a red and white Poké Ball on the ground, with two hundred League Coins on top of it.

Teng Shu looked around but couldn't find the person who had abandoned the tree.

"Another abandoned Pokémon..." Teng Shu looked at the Poké Ball in his hand. As he picked it up, the Poké Ball shook slightly and then went silent.

Little Black jumped onto Tengshu's wrist, its big eyes staring intently at the Poké Ball in front of it, a hint of pity and urgency in its gaze.

Teng Shu closed the door. The Poké Ball in his hand wasn't very heavy, but Teng Shu had already seen the information inside it.

【Children's Bear】

[Normal/Fighting type Pokémon]

[Near death]

[Stage 3 erosive skin disease caused by forest fever, urgently requiring treatment]

Teng Shu hurriedly took the Poké Ball to the infirmary and turned it on.

A putrid smell suddenly wafted out. Little Black barked and jumped back onto the head of the vine tree. After enduring it for a moment, it couldn't take it anymore and flew away.

Teng Shu skillfully picked up the mask and put it on.

Even with a mask on, the stench still lingered faintly around my nose.

Before you is a small teddy bear, whose once cute appearance is now completely unrelated to cuteness, and may even give some timid people nightmares.

It was breathing rapidly, but with each breath, putrid pus oozed from the festering wounds on its body.

Large chunks of torn skin clung to the bear's body, the festering wounds emitting a disgusting stench, and tiny insects could be seen wriggling on them. Teng Shu put on gloves and gently stroked the bear's head.

The teddy bear trembled slightly. It was too weak to move, but the rise and fall of its tattered chest proved that it was still alive.

"It must be very painful, just bear with it." Teng Shu could feel the little guy's mental anguish. A faint green light appeared on his palm, and then the teddy bear's breathing became a little calmer.

Seeing that the bear had calmed down a bit, Teng Shu didn't say anything. The little guy was only slightly better now. Although the power of Viridian could heal Pokémon injuries, it couldn't help with some serious illnesses. This little guy needed more precise treatment.

However, sophisticated treatments mean high costs.

Erosive skin disease is more expensive, and Tengshu thinks that the trainer probably abandoned the bear for that reason.

"Luckily I have a cheat code..." Teng Shu put on gloves and gently picked up the teddy bear, but even though he was as gentle as possible, a piece of rotten skin on the teddy bear still fell off and landed on the ground with a thud.

The teddy bear didn't move, and Teng Shu gently placed it into the treatment pod.

[Stage 3 Forest Fever Erosive Dermatitis: The low-level treatment pod can only maintain life stability; please upgrade.]

Looking at the instructions on the treatment pod, Teng Shu took off his gloves and pinched his brow.

Teng Shu is not from this world. Just like those overused time-travel novels, Teng Shu is actually a time traveler.

There are no cases of sudden death from overwork, and no "Great Luck" brand time-traveling machines.

On his way home from get off work, Teng Shu saw an old Pokémon doll on the ground, a small Charmander.

It was dirty and missing its hands and tail, but the vine still bent down and picked it up.

As a result, he bent down and picked up the small toy.

Look up again.

Tengshu then arrived in the world of Pokémon.

It's as smooth as chocolate.

Fortunately, Teng Shu also had a cheat code: he obtained a system, bound himself to the stray Pokémon Welfare Institute, and became the director of the institute.

[Upgrade to Basic Healing Chamber: 1000 Happiness Points]

Teng Shu looked at the expenses in front of him and pursed his lips.

Happiness points are earned based on the happiness level of stray and abandoned Pokémon that are taken in. Tengshu has been working in this world for two months and has only earned 1,100 happiness points. This is also related to the fact that Tengshu's orphanage has just started operating and does not have many Pokémon.

"I was originally planning to use it to exchange for that..." Teng Shu decided to upgrade anyway.

With the upgrade of the treatment pod, this futuristic-looking treatment pod has become even more advanced.

Treatment duration: 7 days

Looking at the time spent, Teng Shu wiped his hands, then took off his gloves and threw them into the discarded medical waste bin.

Erosive skin diseases are contagious to some extent, but you will not be infected as long as you do not come into contact with the putrid pus.

These gloves are unusable.

Looking at the teddy bear that had calmed down in the medical pod, Teng Shu disinfected himself while pondering how to write the report later.

Although he was assigned the position of director of an orphanage, Teng Shu was quite happy with it. After all, he was too lazy to be a trainer and fight gyms to become champion in this world. He was tired of being a champion when he played games before.

Moreover, after running the welfare home for two months, Teng Shu gradually grew to like the job.

"Gah!" Little Black flew down and landed on Tengshu, looking curiously at the teddy bear lying in the medical pod.

"Let's go, we still need to cook later, let this little guy get some rest." Teng Shu patted Xiao Hei's head, then glanced at the sleeping Tong Ou Xiong, chuckled, and led Xiao Hei out of the infirmary.

It's still early, but Tengshu needs to prepare breakfast for these little guys.

Breakfast is not complicated to make. A bucket of milk nearing its expiration date, sponsored by Evergreen Ranch, and ordinary vegetables are all that herbivorous Pokémon need for breakfast.

For those who prefer meat, Tengshu prepared large bottles of milk nearing their expiration date, as well as discounted Pokémon food nearing its expiration date from the supermarket.

After finishing, Teng Shu carried the breakfast out. Looking at the relatively quiet welfare home, Teng Shu rang the small bronze bell next to him.

Soon, the sound of hurried running could be heard from the passageway outside the cafeteria. Teng Shu picked up a cushion and placed it against a pillar to block the way.

As the sound of running approached, a fiery monkey suddenly rushed in. It was very fast and crashed headfirst into the cushion that the vine had placed there. It fell to the ground with a thud, shook its head, and then stood up.

Chapter 2 Adoption is a big deal

"Don't be in such a hurry, Little Violent." Teng Shu looked helplessly at the fiery monkey in front of him.

This little guy is also one of the abandoned Pokémon, and he suffers from [neuromeningitis], which causes him to have behavioral problems, be unable to control his speed, and have poor coordination of his limbs.

When it was abandoned, Xiao Bao's condition was even more serious. After a period of recuperation, it got a little better. At least it stopped punching itself in the face all the time.

Xiao Bao clenched his fist, then slowly moved to the table, climbed onto the chair, and began to eat his breakfast.

Teng Shu also saw the plate of breakfast he had placed on the table twist and disappear instantly. He glanced at it and then looked away.

Even today, Casey remains a socially awkward person.

Then a coyote and a meow came in together. When they saw the vine tree, they ran up to it and rubbed against it. After receiving praise from the vine tree, they ran off to eat, satisfied.

Teng Shu looked at the two little guys with a smile. The two little guys were very healthy. The reason they were abandoned was the note left next to the Poké Ball: "They are too weak and not good enough for me."

“There’s one more…” Teng Shu glanced at the clock on the wall.

Two months have passed since Tengshu started operating this welfare home, and he has taken in some stray and abandoned Pokémon. Some of them have been adopted, and those that remain in the welfare home are mostly problem Pokémon.

A cat with dead fish eyes walked in. When it saw the vine tree, it came over and opened its mouth. A small rattata fell down, covered in the cat's drool.

Dong Shi Miao's tail swayed, and Teng Shu was both amused and exasperated. Nevertheless, he picked up the trembling little Rattata and had Xiao Hei throw it outside the orphanage.

The orphanage has a special food storage room, so sometimes some little guys inevitably run in to steal food. Since this abandoned Dong Shi cat joined the orphanage, Dong Shi cat has taken on the important task of guarding the food storage room.

"Well done, Xiao Dong, go eat now." Teng Shu said gently, and Dong Shi Miao happily wagged her tail and went to eat.

The large-sized Meowth is not a very popular Pokémon, and its treatment is vastly different from that of the unevolved Graviton.

Xiao Dong was abandoned because its original owner couldn't accept that the cute and elegant cat had turned into this big fat cat.

"According to the previously agreed time, it should be this afternoon." Looking at the group of little guys who were eating, Teng Shu's gaze fell on the wolfhound and Miao Miao.

These two little guys are lucky; someone has taken a liking to them and wants to adopt them, which is a good thing.

Although Tengshu's orphanage is large and can be continuously built and upgraded through the system, Tengshu still hopes that there will be fewer Pokémon in his orphanage, preferably none at all.

After all, those that can get into his place are basically abandoned Pokémon.

After the children finished eating, Teng Shu started clearing the plates. The orphanage doesn't have any extra income or staff right now, so when no kind volunteers come to help, Teng Shu does most of the work by himself.

"I was thinking of saving up some happiness points to exchange for a basic AI robot to help with some chores," Teng Shu muttered while washing the dishes.

Immediately afterwards, a plate landed silently in Teng Shu's hand, very gently, as if it had been slowly placed in his hand.

Teng Shu smiled.

Although Casey is very socially awkward, she uses her superpowers quite well. If it weren't for this socially awkward personality that prevents Casey from participating in battles, Tengshu thinks Casey wouldn't have been abandoned.

The plates danced in Tengshu's hands, but Tengshu waved his hand, declining Casey's offer to help wash the dishes.

Last time, Teng Shu agreed to let Casey help wash the dishes, but two plates were accidentally broken, which made the orphanage's already meager finances even worse.

From then on, Tengshu stopped letting Casey wash the dishes.

Although Casey later tried many times to prove that it was capable of washing dishes.

After washing the dishes, Teng Shu returned to his office. He picked up his schedule, which he had circled in red.

The adoption was highlighted.

This is a big deal for the welfare home.

From a system perspective, an adopted Pokémon will provide a large number of Happiness Points at once, provided that the adopter can actually provide the Pokémon with happiness.

The [Adoption Matching Detector] that Tengshu obtained was just the right device to detect this, thus preventing people with ulterior motives from adopting Pokémon and tormenting them.

From Teng Shu's personal perspective, he is also happy to see the little ones adopted.

Although Tengshu took good care of these little guys in the orphanage, he also knew that these Pokémon, who had been abandoned, longed deep down for a partner who truly loved them.

Teng Shu picked up the documents in his hand.

This was sent by Officer Jenny from the Alliance.

The League will help Tengshu find adopters, and Tengshu did not refuse. After all, he really didn't have much time to find adopters for his Pokémon. The League would conduct an initial screening, and then he would use a matching device to screen them, in order to ensure the Pokémon's happy life to the greatest extent possible.

Ever since the first time he handed over an injured and abandoned Bulbasaur to that lovely little girl, and later when he returned and saw how happy Bulbasaur looked, Tengshu found the meaning in his work.

Teng Shu glanced at the documents and then put them aside. Paper documents can only be used as a reference; ultimately, one must see them with one's own eyes.

Soon, Tengshu met his adoptive parents.

"Dean Tengshu, this is Ms. Xiaohong, and this is Xiaojin. They've come to adopt Pokémon," Officer Jenny said with a smile to Tengshu.

Teng Shu's gaze passed over Jun Sha Guang and landed on the two adoptive parents.

Xiaohong, a 30-year-old woman with a happy family, is planning to adopt a cat. The reason for her adoption is that her family's eldest cat has passed away, so she wants to adopt a cat.

Match rate: 82%

Teng Shu nodded. "Not bad."

This compatibility score indicates that the kitten will be very happy after being adopted.

Teng Shu then looked at the other adopter.

A young couple with their son, who is the adoptive parents.
