I run an orphanage in the Pokémon world.

"So, what will happen to Jirachi?" Teng Shu looked curiously at Jirachi in Ho-Oh's arms. The other was sleeping soundly like a child, without making a sound.

Even the vines seemed to want to laugh at the sight.

"I don't really know what to do with it. What can I do with it? This little guy is... well, you wouldn't understand even if I told you." Ho-Oh seemed to be about to explain something, but then it shut up and stopped talking, leaving Teng Shu a little confused. However, seeing that Ho-Oh didn't seem to have much of a desire to talk, Teng Shu didn't press the matter further.

He didn't want to concern himself with the matter of the divine beasts. These divine beasts had too much power, and sometimes Teng Shu worried that something might go wrong.

Furthermore, if we get too close to a mythical beast, what if a dark organization is causing trouble? What if they're tracking the mythical beast? In that case, we'd be asking for trouble.

Ho-Oh carried Jirachi away, and Tengshu watched Ho-Oh's figure disappear, scratching his head.

"I never thought the shooting star would be related to Jirachi... Huh?" Teng Shu suddenly thought of something. When he saw Jirachi just now, he subconsciously made a wish. Will this wish come true?

Probably not?

Teng Shu scratched his head, unsure if he would succeed, since Jirachi was asleep when he made his wish.

Jirachi, in its sleeping state, shouldn't be able to grant other people's wishes, or so Fujiki himself thought.

"But even if it happens, it doesn't seem like anything will happen." Teng Shu yawned.

Tengshu continued his inspection, but after a round of inspections, he didn't find anything wrong or any abandoned Pokémon. However, Tengshu was somewhat worried.

As I said before, sometimes not seeing something doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Besides, the Alliance has set up a laboratory here, with so many people and vehicles coming and going. So if someone really wanted to abandon it, they would probably be a little hesitant. If it were thrown somewhere else and the vine still couldn't see it, then there would really be no way to get rid of it.

Just as Teng Shu circled back and saw the Alliance's construction site, his phone vibrated. He picked it up and glanced at it.

It's news about Officer Jenny.

Upon seeing Officer Jenny's name, Teng Shu had an uneasy feeling. He couldn't quite explain it, but he just felt uneasy, since Officer Jenny rarely contacted him.

"Could it be the person who did this to Pikachu before..." Teng Shu thought of the welded-together Poké Ball, the Pikachu inside the Poké Ball, and the guy who was arguing with someone after being captured because of his mental illness.

The case hasn't reached the sentencing stage yet, but overall it's a bit complicated, and there are many issues involved, such as how to pronounce the verdict and how to handle the situation.

Although Teng Shu himself had some thoughts about these things, such as the talismans he had seen before, he thought that using those things should be able to turn that guy into a mental patient.

Mental illness is no good thing. Mental patients are often tormented terribly. Although they are tormented by their own mental problems, such a life of suffering is sometimes no different from a death sentence, and may even be more cruel.

After all, in the Pokémon world, execution is a quick and clean affair with little pain. Although the other party dies, it can sometimes feel unsatisfying.

"How about..." Teng Shu's gaze fell on his system. He was somewhat conflicted about whether or not to use it. However, he hesitated because, strictly speaking, this matter was not easy to handle.

But considering the reasons the other party's parents gave them and the other party's shameless behavior, Teng Shu felt that it might not be a bad idea for him to take action.

"Forget it, let's see what the league decides first. After all, there's a lot of attention on this, and if something goes wrong at this point, the league will probably be in a real bind." Teng Shu scratched his head and touched the medal in his pocket. This unique medal of courage was an award given to Teng Shu by the league. This medal meant some privileges, but it wasn't enough for Teng Shu to interfere with the ruling.

Teng Shu plans to pay attention to this issue. If it's basically a certainty that the other party will escape punishment, then Teng Shu will not hesitate to use a talisman to give the other party a memory they will never forget.

Teng Shu turned on his phone and saw a message from Officer Jenny. What she said made Teng Shu's face darken, but he still replied with an "okay" and then stood at the gate of the orphanage.

After a while, Officer Jenny arrived riding Arcanine and tossed a Poké Ball to Vinewood.

In fact, Teng Shu had already seen the contents of the light before it was handed over.

Meow Meow

[General Attributes]

[Illegible eyes, complete hearing loss, moderate brain damage, and minor physical injuries are currently healing.]

Three notifications popped up, and the minor injury at the end really seemed insignificant.

Teng Shu pinched the bridge of his nose.

"What's wrong with this little guy?" Teng Shu took the Poké Ball. Although his medical pod had been upgraded many times, curing these diseases was still a problem, and the brain damage almost sealed Meowth's fate.

It's important to understand that the brain is an extremely complex area, containing countless crucial nerve cells, plus irreparable brain cells...

“The abandoned Pokémon was found seven days ago. It has a very serious illness. Although it was sent to the Pokémon Center for initial treatment, the League’s charity funds have been almost exhausted, so there’s not much that can be done, especially since it has been delayed for so long.” Officer Jenny’s tone was somewhat helpless.

She felt sorry for them too, but there was nothing she could do. There were too many Pokémon in need of help. Officer Jenny and the others had just donated money to other Pokémon three days ago, as had Nurse Joy and the others. They really couldn't afford to donate now, and it had been too long. It was good enough that they could save their lives.

“This…” Teng Shu looked at the Poké Ball in his hand and understood Officer Jenny’s meaning. This kind of thing was a matter of fate. Sometimes it was like that, there was nothing that could be done. Moreover, it had been dragged on for too long. It was already a miracle that Nurse Joy and the others were able to save it.

Teng Shu sighed.

"I understand, I'll handle it." Teng Shu held the Poké Ball in his hand. The Poké Ball was quiet and didn't make a sound.

Chapter 524 The Helpless Medical Cabin

Teng Shu felt that his wish had not been fulfilled.

His wish was that there would be no abandoned Pokémon in the world.

However, upon closer examination, while Jirachi is known as the Wishing Star and possesses similar wish-granting abilities, it is ultimately just a Pokémon, not a true wish-granting god, much less Arceus. Achieving a similar effect would be impossible; otherwise, Jirachi would be ridiculously powerful.

After all, if Tengshu makes a wish like "I want to become the creator god of the Pokémon world," then can he just turn into an alpaca?

Therefore, Jirachi's abilities are not very strong, and Tengshu himself could have foreseen this.

"Dean, this is..." Upon arriving at the infirmary, Xiaoxia was inside, looking after Pipi, who had just finished his treatment.

Upon seeing the vine, Xiaoxia stood up and then saw the Poké Ball that the vine was holding.

"The abandoned Pokémon received initial treatment and was brought here." Teng Shu wasn't in a good mood, but he still spoke gently. After all, this matter had nothing to do with Xiaoxia. The most important thing a qualified adult needs to learn is to control their emotions and not vent their negative emotions on others.

Teng Shu's ability to control his emotions is quite good.

"Ah..." Xiaoxia opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but she didn't know what to say. She could only open her mouth hesitantly, remain silent for a moment, and then close her mouth again without saying anything.

Teng Shu didn't notice Xiaoxia's hesitation; he simply opened the Poké Ball, and a Meowth immediately lay down on the ground.

The other person got up and then stood there in a daze.

He appears to be spacing out.

However, Teng Shu knew that this was not actually a daze, but rather that there was something wrong with Miao Miao's brain, causing her to lose some of its functions.

The brain is an incredibly amazing and intricate part of the body. It's fair to say that once something goes wrong with the brain, it's very difficult to cure. Sometimes, it really comes down to fate and whether the body's compensatory mechanisms can function.

Like those vegetative patients that have been overused in TV dramas and movies, they are brain dead or have brain problems. As a result, their bodies are alive, but their brains are dead and they have no reaction at all.

However, this is still considered relatively good. Teng Shu had heard of an even more cruel disease, which is a special disease similar to a vegetative state or locked-in syndrome. These patients are fully conscious, but they cannot move or communicate with others. It's as if their bodies are a cage, imprisoning their own consciousness inside.

Such a life is extremely painful, and worse than death.

After all, he was conscious, but he couldn't speak, blink, or even control his body, which was extremely humiliating.

"Sigh." Teng Shu sighed, then picked up Miao Miao. He was now certain that Miao Miao's brain had probably lost part of its consciousness.

Although there was nothing wrong with the other party's actions, it seemed more like a physical instinct. Now, all that could be heard was the sound of breathing, and there was no movement in the eyes, just like a doll.

Teng Shu put Miao Miao inside, wanting to see if Miao Miao could be cured by the medical pod.

[Eye reconstruction 20 days ago, eardrum reconstruction 20 days ago, brain defect is incurable]

A notification appeared on the screen of the medical pod. Teng Shu watched this scene quietly and remained silent for a long time.

the first time.

This was the first time he had seen a message indicating that brain damage was incurable.

Even Ralts's Alzheimer's disease could be cured before, though it required upgrading the medical pod, but this...

"..." Xiaoxia also saw this scene. She looked at Miaomiao in the medical pod, who was standing there blankly and motionless, with a hint of sadness in her eyes.

At this moment, without any warning, Meow Meow went to the toilet in the medical pod. Even so, Meow Meow did not make any noise. It just stood there quietly, like a robot rigidly executing its program.

Teng Shu pinched his brow. It seemed that it was basically impossible for Miao Miao to recover, and in this state, almost no one would be willing to accept her.

After all, the essence of adopting a Pokémon is to have them accompany you, but what can you do with a Meowth? Treat it as a decoration? What's more, you also need to take care of the Meowth's toilet needs at all times. This is not adopting a Pokémon, it's bringing back an ancestor to worship.

Although it may sound hurtful to say this, Teng Shu himself admits that it is indeed the case.

If it were him, would he have adopted a plant cat in his past life? Probably not, since there would have been other options. It is for this reason that Tengshu does not want to morally coerce others into adopting Miaomiao.

"Dean, what's wrong with Meow Meow..." Xiaoxia looked at Tengshu, unsure of what to say. She was puzzled as to how the Alliance would handle such a situation.

Upon hearing this, Teng Shu understood what Xiaoxia meant.

What will the league do with Meow Meow?

In fact, this autonomy was placed on Teng Shu. Although it was called autonomy, it was actually a very cruel choice, because the alliance was forcing you to make a choice: either euthanasia or pay money to keep you alive.

Releasing them into the wild is obviously not an option, since these immobile Pokémon have a zero survival rate if released into the wild; they simply cannot survive.

So the options are either euthanasia or placement in a welfare institution for care.

"This little guy will probably stay in the orphanage for the rest of his life," Teng Shu said gently, but his tone carried a hint of helplessness.

Teng Shu does have a way to solve Miao Miao's problem. After all, if the medical pod doesn't work, he has an external system. However, the problem is that those items are too expensive. Even though Teng Shu is making a lot of money now, it's still a pipe dream for him to exchange for those items.

"Sigh, meow meow..." Xiaoxia also sighed. It seems that even Dean Tengshu still has some unsolvable problems.

Teng Shu watched Miao Miao receive treatment inside without saying anything. Miao Miao's treatment would take a long time, since her eardrums and eyes needed to be addressed.

Moreover, the medical pod has its own cleaning function, so even if the cat loses control of its bladder inside, it won't be a problem.

However, Tengshu still needs to find someone to take care of Miaomiao.

Teng Shu thought of love.

Blissey takes very good care of the Pokémon in the retirement home, so taking care of Meowth shouldn't be a problem either. But we still need to go and ask Blissey before making a decision.

Chapter 525 Little Rada

"...So that's how it is. Love, would you be willing to help look after it?" Teng Shu asked, looking at the Lucky Egg in front of him with eager eyes.

He himself knew that this request was somewhat unreasonable.

Taking care of someone may seem simple, but it's actually not easy.

If you've had an accident involving an elder in your family and have taken care of them, then you'll know how truly difficult this situation is.

The saying "A long illness reveals the lack of filial piety at the bedside, and a long illness reveals the lack of loving couples at the bedside" illustrates this point.

Taking care of someone may seem easy and simple, but it is actually very difficult. It can even be described as extremely torturous, especially for those who have lost their daily functions. They cannot sleep at all because the patient they are taking care of may shout, make a lot of noise, knock things over, or cause other problems. The patient may also develop emotional issues due to the pain they are suffering from.

Taking care of someone for a day or two, or a week or two, might be manageable, but if that time is prolonged, the level of torment for the caregiver will increase dramatically, becoming the type that many people cannot accept.

Although Meow Meow's situation is quite unique, since Meow Meow doesn't make noise, feeding Meow Meow every day and taking care of Meow Meow's incontinence problem can be quite exhausting in the long run, so Tengshu doesn't know if Lucky Egg can help.

“!” Happy Egg nodded. She had already seen Meow Meow’s medical record and naturally knew how to take care of Meow Meow in this situation. However, this was still considered relatively better, since Meow Meow was unconscious and wouldn’t move around, which meant that Meow Meow’s condition was relatively stable.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Happy Egg." Teng Shu smiled. He couldn't rely on Happy Egg forever; he needed to find a way to solve the problem.

However, the prices of those props were simply outrageous, so Tengshu didn't have any good solutions and could only take it one step at a time.

Having resolved Miaomiao's problem, Tengshu returned to his bedroom. There were still many things to do today, but tomorrow would be no different.

First of all, there's the matter of the Forsaken. Just thinking about the Forsaken makes Tengshu's scalp tingle. The Forsaken itself isn't the problem; the trouble lies with the Pokémon professors who come to study it. The way those professors look at the Forsaken makes them want to devour it whole.

This left Teng Shu somewhat at a loss for words.

To be honest, Tengshu hadn't really expected the Abandoned Monkey's new invention. After all, Tengshu had only intended to give the Abandoned Monkey some fruit wine, since it was made from tree fruit and had a low alcohol content, which was quite suitable.

Unexpectedly, the Abandoned Monkey inadvertently came up with such a new move, which was quite surprising.

"Good night, Dean Teng Shu." Tianxi was reading a book when she saw Teng Shu and greeted him politely. Teng Shu smiled and said good night to her in return.

It has to be said that Diancie has made considerable progress in speaking, but this is also related to Diancie's own efforts. After all, Diancie has worked hard for a long time and basically never misses any opportunity to speak, which is why Diancie is now able to speak normally.

But before going to sleep, Teng Shu had some other things to do.

"Okay, okay, I'll find it for you." Teng Shu looked at Tire Miao helplessly, then turned on the computer for her, found some magic videos that Tire Miao was interested in, selected them to play, and then returned to his bedroom.

As soon as he entered, Tengshu saw Xiao Lada dragging something onto his table.

Upon closer inspection, the vine realized it was a tree fruit.

"Little Rada, what are you doing here?" Teng Shu looked at Little Rada with some amusement. Little Rada shook his head after hearing this, and then excitedly gestured something.

The problem is that the little Rattata is very small, and its paws are naturally even smaller. So, after watching for a long time, Tengshu still couldn't figure out what the little Rattata was doing there, leaving Tengshu somewhat bewildered.

Little Rada seemed to realize that Tengshu didn't understand its gestures, and became even more excited, twisting and turning like a pupa on the table.

"Alright, alright, stop, I don't understand." Teng Shu helplessly patted Little Rada's head, and Little Rada finally stopped, looking at him expectantly.

Teng Shu hesitated for a moment.

"You mean, you have something you want to give me?" Teng Shu tried hard to recall Rada's actions just now, trying to find out why Rada did that.

The little Rada shook his head at the "chirping" sound.
