I run an orphanage in the Pokémon world.

This also relieved Teng Shu.

Although Bellatrix has become a disabled Pokémon, it can still live a normal life with training, even though it is missing a left leg.

However, most Pokémon may not be able to accept the fact that they have become disabled, and thus give up on themselves.

However, once you get out of the shadow of self-abandonment, you can gradually get used to your current body.

However, Meizuki's special circumstances also meant that it needed to undergo a period of observation. Moreover, although Salamence, the final evolution of Bellatrix, is a very powerful Pokémon, it is still somewhat weak before it fully evolves.

Raising a Bagon to Salamence requires a lot of resources, which results in relatively few people being willing to raise Dragon-type Pokémon.

Teng Shu felt that Mingyue was unlikely to be adopted by anyone in the near future.

"Dean, can I come to see Mingyue in the future?" Xiao Guang looked at Teng Shu expectantly, and Teng Shu immediately nodded.

His orphanage doesn't exclude people from visiting, and he won't stop them if they want to visit. Besides, Xiao Guang even donated a library.

Xiao Guang jumped up happily after getting Teng Shu's permission, and then ran to clean up.

Today is the last day these volunteers are working here. Looking at Xiao Guang's retreating figure, Teng Shu decided to give them something.

Although these volunteers didn't work for very long, they were there to provide free services, so Teng Shu felt he should give them something in return.

However, money was out of the question. After thinking for a moment, Teng Shu decided to give the volunteers a unique little gift.

So when it was lunchtime in the afternoon, all the volunteers received a gift from Teng Shu.

A greeting card stamped with the paw prints or handprints of all the Pokémon in the orphanage.

Seeing the excited volunteers, Teng Shu smiled and took a group photo with them using a Polaroid camera.

"Thank you all very much for your help to the welfare home during this time." Teng Shu bowed earnestly.

Although these dojo apprentices were brought over by Sakaki, they were very serious about their work and helped Fujiki a lot.

The welfare home looks much cleaner now, thanks to the volunteers.

Parting always carries a touch of sadness. Teng Shu went to great lengths this time to prepare a sumptuous meal for the volunteers. After the meal, watching the volunteers say goodbye to the little ones, Teng Shu put the bowls and chopsticks away in the cupboard.

Looking at the now quiet orphanage, Teng Shu wiped his hands.

"Dean, do you need me to give you some psychological counseling?" Locke asked while eating his lunchbox.

"No need, it's just parting, I'm used to it." Teng Shu waved his hand, his eyelids twitching as he looked at the lunchbox in Locke's hand.

Teng Shu remembered that when they had just eaten a big meal together, Locke ate quite a lot, including three bowls of rice and a lot of meat.

So you're still eating takeout?

“I have a rather large appetite.” Locke noticed Teng Shu’s gaze, raised the bowl in his hand, and revealed a sincere smile.

"...I'll make more next time." Teng Shu wiped the water off his hands, said this, then turned off the cafeteria lights and walked out.

Locke, holding his fried noodles, leaned against the wall, watching the vine tree's silhouette.

"The dean is quite interesting." Locke smiled, then slurped up a mouthful of noodles, followed by a disdainful purse of his lips.

He had eaten this fried noodle dish many times, but ever since he ate the noodles made by this dean, every time he ate it again, he felt that something was missing.

"This is pointless." Locke looked at the noodles in his hand, wanting to throw them in the trash can, but then felt it was a waste.

After thinking for a moment, he sighed and continued eating the noodles in his bowl.

Chapter 34 New Clothes for the Bear Doll

There's usually nothing much happening at the orphanage at night.

But now we have it.

The dean's office was still lit up in the night. Teng Shu was sitting inside, holding something in his hand, looking at the computer in front of him, lost in thought.

"This video doesn't look difficult, so why can't I learn it?" Teng Shu looked at the video on his computer and fell into self-doubt.

Today, when Tengshu was taking care of Dahei, he noticed that for Dahei, which was covered in scars, having something to cover up the sores on its skin would make it look much more relaxed.

After putting on the fluffy hat that Akai gave it, Dahei seemed much happier and even dared to let Tengshu pet its head.

But it's limited to just touching their heads.

If you try to touch other places, Big Black will still dodge.

This gave Teng Shu an idea: to get Da Hei a set of 'clothes' to wear.

Dahei's skin was completely rotten due to erosive dermatitis, with not a single patch of healthy skin left. Although it has been treated now, the rotten skin still clings to its body.

This also caused Dahei to have some inferiority complex, and it was afraid that others would touch its tattered skin.

“Big Black is about half a meter tall, but it will be a little taller if it stands up.” Teng Shu had held Big Black before and knew some of its physical measurements.

Making clothes for Dahei shouldn't be too difficult.

With this in mind, Teng Shu took his needle, thread, and sewing machine back to his office, intending to make a set of clothes for Da Hei.

Full of confidence, Teng Shu clicked on a video of someone making a cosplay outfit and started learning in a very serious manner.

As a result, the brain can understand it, but the hands can't.

Looking at the clothes in his hand that resembled those worn by a homeless person, Teng Shu took a deep breath.

It seems he might not be suited to sewing?

Just as Teng Shu was questioning his existence, the sewing tools in front of him floated up and disappeared one by one, leaving Teng Shu stunned.

"Akai?" Teng Shu immediately realized what was going on. In the current orphanage, there was no other Pokémon besides Akai who could do this.

Kai didn't say anything, but the computer keyboard moved a few times on its own.

【I'll sew it】Looking at the words on the computer, Teng Shu thought of the hat that Akai gave to Dahei this morning.

It's still pretty good; at least Big Black can wear it, and even now he can't bear to take it off.

"Then I'm relieved." Teng Shu felt much more at ease. If he tried it himself, he would probably break it countless times. It would be more convenient to let Akai do it.

Although these materials are not very valuable in one or two pieces, even a lot of them would be too much for Tengshu to handle. The welfare home's finances are tight right now, so Tengshu needs to be more frugal.

Having resolved Dahei's matter, Tengshu felt much more relaxed, even though Akai had taken over that problem.

Teng Shu walked out of the office and then glanced at his orphanage.

There are basically no activities at the welfare home at night. Even Xiao Hei has developed the habit of resting at night and working during the day. Only the light in the attic is still on.

Teng Shu glanced at the attic; he knew that Akai lived there.

"It's been a while since I've done a night patrol, I might as well take a look around." Teng Shu twisted his neck. He had originally planned to make some clothes for Da Hei, but now that he had nothing to do, he didn't want to go to sleep for the time being.

So they simply walked to the dormitory area of ​​the welfare home.

The orphanage in Tengshu has two dormitories, one for male Pokémon and the other for female Pokémon, which is somewhat like separating male and female dormitories.

This is also a rule of the league.

Although Teng Shu didn't quite understand, the welfare home had been set up this way since its completion, so he followed that standard.

"I really don't understand. Pokémon rarely have a natural impulse unless it's a special season..." Tengshu complained as he walked into the dormitory.

He's now in the boys' dormitory, where Xiao Bao, Da Hei, and Ming Yue live.

Although it's still the most basic first-class dormitory, the facilities are very complete, and the soft bed makes you feel sleepy as soon as you lie down.

When Teng Shu went in, he saw three little heads huddled together, but they immediately separated as soon as he entered, looking like they were asleep.

"..." Teng Shu wanted to laugh a little. Da Hei's fluffy hat was too obvious. Although the lights were off, Teng Shu saw it immediately by the moonlight.

Teng Shu looked around and then left. He didn't intend to disturb the three little guys' conversation. Pokémon can communicate with each other, and they can even communicate across species.

However, according to the research of Pokémon professors, communication between the same type of Pokémon from different regions can be difficult, possibly due to differences in their dialects.

Yes, there are dialects among Pokémon.

Although the sounds these Pokémon make may sound similar to humans, they still have distinct accents to their own ears.

The renowned Pokémon scholar Professor Oak once conducted such an experiment. He put a Charizard raised in the Kanto region and a Charizard raised in the Galar region together. As a result, the two Charizards took quite a while to understand each other's accents before they were able to communicate normally.

Psychic Pokémon don't have this problem; they communicate through mental energy and don't have accent issues, but they still have some verbal tics.

According to an anonymous source, Gardevoir, the champion of the Gardevoir, likes to add "ya" to her speech.

For example, verbal tics like "This opponent is really strong" or "This trainer still needs to train."

Teng Shu closed the door and then went upstairs.

This is the girls' dormitory, but only Xiao Dong and Xiao Hei live there.

As for the gender of Akai, the most mysterious person in the orphanage, Teng Shu did know.

Akai is also a female.

This is quite rare in Abra's group, since most Abra are male, and Abra is one of the Pokémon with more males than females.

Tengshu didn't specifically look at Akai's gender; it was just that when Akai was abandoned, Tengshu checked him as usual, and that's how he found out Akai's gender.

Although Akai is female, she does not live in the girls' dormitory.

When Teng Shu entered the girls' dormitory, Xiao Dong and Xiao Hei were already asleep. However, Teng Shu noticed that Xiao Dong's ears twitched. Seeing this, Teng Shu quietly closed the door.

Xiao Dong has excellent hearing, and Teng Shu doesn't want to disturb it.

"Now I can rest assured, that guy didn't come today." Teng Shu breathed a sigh of relief, feeling a little more at ease.

Chapter 35 The Queen Bee and the Roujiamo (Chinese Hamburger)

Occasionally, some uninvited guests would visit Tengshu's orphanage.

For example, Rattata sneaks in to steal food, and occasionally other Pokémon will try to sneak in and steal some too.

However, what impressed Teng Shu the most was the queen bee.

As exchanges between different regions of the League become more frequent, Pokémon from different regions may appear in other regions, but they may not necessarily survive after appearing.

Pokémon migration and environmental adaptation is a troublesome issue.

Different regions have different climates, so their environments are also different. Apart from a few Pokémon that can adapt to these climate changes, other Pokémon cannot adapt and will die.

Furthermore, they also face competition from other wild Pokémon, so the Pokémon from other regions that you see in the Kanto region are basically either brought over by trainers or abandoned here.

However, that queen bee was an exception.

"I don't know what that guy is thinking, he's always thinking about settling down in the girls' dormitory." After inspecting the girls' dormitory, Teng Shu slowly walked downstairs.

After one more round of inspections around the outside of the welfare home, I can go home and sleep.

Tengshu isn't actually a stingy person. If any Pokémon feels the weather is bad in the wild and wants to take shelter here, he wouldn't mind. But the problem is, the Bee Queen came with her family.

One queen bee means a swarm of three bees; the welfare home will eventually have to be turned into a beehive.

Walking along the path outside the welfare home, Teng Shu held a flashlight and kept shining it around.

Some abandoned Pokémon are simply left behind, while others are dumped at the League office, Officer Jenny's office, or even here.

However, perhaps out of fear of being seen, some people deliberately throw their abandoned Pokémon near the wall of an orphanage. Tengshu was the little black Pokémon they found near that wall.

It was for this reason that Tengshu developed the habit of patrolling the area before going to bed.

Teng Shu yawned, his flashlight shining around him.

Outside the orphanage at night, there was hardly anyone around; the only sounds were the cries of Pokémon coming from the woods.

At first, Teng Shu was a little afraid of the dark, but now he has gradually gotten used to the atmosphere.

After inspecting the area, Tengshu didn't see any Poké Balls, which relieved him.

"I wish every night could be like this." Teng Shu stretched and yawned contentedly; he was already a little sleepy.

The habit of not being able to fall asleep before midnight in his previous life was corrected at the speed of light in this world. Now, Tengshu gets sleepy as soon as 10 pm.

A strange "gibberish" sound suddenly rang out from behind.

Teng Shu subconsciously turned around and shone his flashlight on it.

He is now standing by the west wall of the welfare home, with a small grove of trees behind him.

The dim woods were empty and quiet, as if the shout from just now was merely a hallucination of the vines.

"It sounds like a Pokémon's cry?" Tengshu was a little confused, but after shining his flashlight around and not finding anything, he turned and left.
