I run an orphanage in the Pokémon world.

"The turning function can prevent bedsores. It automatically adjusts every two hours, and family members can also control it remotely via their mobile phones." Ono pressed a button, and then the robotic arm switched modes, spraying warm water mist, gently wiping with a soft brush, and finally drying with warm air.

“The cleaning process is carried out at a constant temperature to avoid irritating the skin and also to protect the patient’s dignity.” Ono’s face was a little red, as if he had thought of something.

"The waste is identified by built-in sensors, automatically sucked up and disinfected, and the whole process is sealed and odorless," Ono said, pointing to a pipe at the bottom of the machine. The reporter also cooperated by taking something to test it, and the effect was indeed quite good.

"This can promote blood circulation and slow down muscle atrophy." Finally, the robotic arm switched to massage mode, simulating professional kneading techniques on the limbs, and Ono also introduced this function.

"Mr. Ono, I'm very curious, what made you invent this instrument?" the reporter asked after trying it out himself.

“I was once a seriously ill patient in bed… I know how difficult it is to care for someone. I just hope that my invention can give patients more dignity and allow their families a little respite.” He looked at the camera and said firmly.

Teng Shu seemed to be deep in thought. This thing looked pretty good, but for some reason, it wasn't being mass-produced.

Teng Shu also looked into the show "I Love Invention." There were quite a few inventions on it that were both funny and absurd. Some of the inventions looked good, but actually had very serious drawbacks.

For example, some inventions were originally intended to solve certain problems, but they ended up being something else entirely, or even had some hidden dangers, or they couldn't compete with other similar products on the market.

So it was left unresolved.

However, Teng Shu thought this invention was quite good, and even had some unique functions. After all, the biggest feature of this thing was that it had no competitors.

A completely blue ocean.

However, it's clear that some people online have also thought of this issue and asked it out of curiosity. Teng Shu also paid attention to it, after all, netizens are incredibly resourceful, and it's hard to say what they might know.

[Oh, I actually know that. I was part of the production team at the time, and I asked around later. They said it was because the cost was too high and caregivers were cheap, so no factory was willing to purchase from them.]

Someone provided a response.

Teng Shu was stunned for a moment. This thing was expensive to make?

However, considering the automatic monitoring and inhalation cleaning and disinfection features, the price does seem quite high.

[Industry insiders, please answer this: The biggest problem with that thing is the urine and feces monitoring device, it breaks down easily, and it's not cheap either, it's more expensive than manual labor.]

Teng Shu paused for a moment, but seeing that the message was from three years ago, he thought he could still ask. What if it had been improved? Wouldn't that solve Miao Miao's problem then?

Thinking of this, Teng Shu decided to contact the other party, but the problem was that he found that he did not have the other party's contact information.

After all, the other party only appeared on TV but did not leave any contact information.

It seems we need to ask the production team, or consult Ms. Joey and the others; they might know something about these things.

Chapter 529 Dark Gray City

After inquiring with the TV crew, Teng Shu actually managed to get Mr. Ono's contact information.

"Actually, Mr. Ono's dream is good, and his invention has its own use, but unfortunately he was born at the wrong time." The TV station staff sighed after showing Teng Shu the other party's contact number.

Tengshu felt that what was said was not wrong. After all, Ono's dream was good, and the thing he invented could indeed help reduce the suffering of patients and their families, but it was born at the wrong time.

The emergence of human caregivers and Pokémon caregivers has effectively blocked the caregiver industry. Unless someone can invent something that can break the deadlock and save costs, it will be very difficult to defeat caregivers.

Moreover, this presents another problem.

Although caregivers are not yet essential to the livelihoods of millions of canal workers, there are still quite a few people in this profession. Many of them are ordinary people with little education and no other skills, so for them, caregiver is a rare and valuable job.

If you were to promote this before the caregiver market had even formed, then there would probably be people willing to invest. But now, even the alliance would likely have some reservations.

After all, the alliance needs to maintain stability, and these caregiver positions can be considered as providing some employment opportunities.

"I wonder if they're still making inventions?" Teng Shu picked up the phone and dialed directly.

Three years have passed. Three years can change a lot of things. If you're unlucky, three years can mean the difference between life and death. So Tengshu is still a little nervous.

Good news, the call went through.

Tengshu waited patiently for a while, and then heard a tired voice, but Tengshu still recognized it as Mr. Ono's voice.

Teng Shu briefly explained his purpose for coming.

There was a brief silence on the other end of the phone.

This prompted Teng Shu to move the phone aside and check several times, confirming that the call was indeed in progress and that the call had not been disconnected.

"...I've stopped being a rehabilitation assistant, but if that cat needs help, I can help out, though it might take a while and you'll have to pay for the materials." Mr. Ono's voice was slightly hoarse.

Tengshu quickly said it was no problem and was even willing to pay more as compensation to Ono, which made Ono feel a little better.

"I live in Dark Gray City. Would it be convenient for us to meet and chat?" Mr. Ono asked. Teng Shu naturally agreed, and Dark Gray City was quite nice, not too far from Evergreen City.

They are two very close cities.

After making breakfast, Tengshu went out to meet Mr. Ono. However, before leaving, Tengshu hesitated for a moment and then decided to bring Miaomiao with him, since he felt that Mr. Ono might need some of Miaomiao's physical data.

After all, this is a specially customized version.

After asking Locke and Xiaoxia to watch over the orphanage, Tengshu took Miaomiao and left the orphanage, heading towards Dark Grey City.

There is a dedicated highway between Viridian City and Pewter City, or rather, there are dedicated highways between the major cities of the Pokémon League. However, due to the presence of Pokémon, the highways here are often built by constructing bridges whenever possible.

Would it work to build it on land?

Row.

However, you have to be prepared to repair it at any time. After all, there are many things in Pokémon that can damage concrete roads. So, in this situation, the League has decided to build elevated highways. Although the overall cost will be higher and maintenance will be required later, it is much cheaper than paving roads directly. Therefore, most of the League's highways are elevated, and only in some places where there is really no other way will they be ordinary roads.

It has to be said that the Pokémon world has undergone tremendous changes because of the existence of Pokémon.

"The area below won't disturb the Pokémon's rest, that's a pretty good design." Teng Shu thought to himself as he drove, recalling the knowledge he had learned when he took his driving test.

The league isn't the type to do good deeds and keep quiet about it.

We still need to promote this so that everyone knows we are truly working hard for the harmonious coexistence of Pokémon and humans.

Teng Shu himself didn't reject such behavior, after all, the alliance region was working very hard and the investment was visible.

As he drove, Teng Shu felt a dampness around his waist, and at the same time, a foul odor rose up.

Teng Shu suddenly thought of a question.

As Blissey has said, Meowth cannot control its urination and defecation, and there are no special toilets in Poké Balls. Pokémon are released to relieve themselves when they need to, which is what most Pokémon trainers do.

The reason why Pokémon are mostly released during training is to solve the problem of needing to use the toilet.

In games, there's no need to use the toilet, but in reality, it is necessary. There's even special Pokémon sand and Pokémon toilet cleaning kits, showing that no matter what world it is, all living beings need to use the toilet and eat.

Of course, there are some special exceptions.

"This guy..." Teng Shu was both amused and exasperated. He had no choice but to open the car windows for ventilation and speed up the car to get to Pewter City as quickly as possible. He still needed to change Meowth's Poké Ball and such.

He also needs to change his clothes, but it's too late to go back now, so he can only go to Dark Grey City to buy them.

Driving, Tengshu arrived at Pine Grey City, which is also the first gym in the game, and Brock is the gym leader here.

However, this time Tengshu didn't come to challenge the gym. He took Meow Meow to buy clothes first, but to avoid trouble, he asked the shop owner to deliver them to him.

After all, Teng Shu didn't want the other guests to be unable to stand it and run away after he went in.

After buying the clothes, Tengshu drove to the Pokémon Center to ask Nurse Joy to take care of Meowth and also to buy a new Poké Ball.

"Well... Dean Tengshu, Meowth's Poké Ball will have to be replaced." Nurse Joy, who had initially looked at Meowth with hostility, became much more amiable after seeing Meowth's information.

They even thoughtfully reminded the vine tree.

Teng Shu nodded as well.

Unfortunately, none of the Poké Balls available nowadays have an excretion function, so I can't buy a protective Poké Ball. I can only say that I won't feed Meowth for now, and we can give it food and water when we get back.

Chapter 530 Mr. Ono

Tengshu rested his chin on his hand. Meow Meow was actually fine, since nothing would happen to her inside the Poké Ball, but she needed to be washed all over.

After all, Meowth was inside the Poké Ball, so its entire body was thoroughly mixed up.

"Dean Teng Shu, what brings you here?" Miss Joey asked curiously as she bathed and cleaned Miao Miao's skin.

"I'm here to buy something." Teng Shu didn't mind chatting with the other party. After explaining his identity and the problem, Teng Shu got the opportunity to go to the lounge to take a shower, which also allowed him to change his clothes.

Otherwise, the clothes and pants that smelled like Meowth were really suffocating. Meowth, as a Pokémon, is actually quite smelly when it goes to the toilet, just like regular cats and dogs. As for the clothes, Teng Shu put them in a sealed bag, planning to take them back to wash them before wearing them.

Miss Joey was somewhat surprised to hear what Teng Shu said.

"We did consider that thing, but it was too expensive, and there were some problems with the on-site inspection, so the Alliance ultimately didn't buy it," Miss Joy said with a sigh. Teng Shu paused for a moment upon hearing this, not expecting that the Alliance had actually considered this matter.

That does make some sense.

"What's the problem?" Teng Shu asked curiously. Although netizens on the internet are incredibly knowledgeable, Teng Shu felt that a professional like Miss Joey might know more comprehensively.

"On the one hand, this thing is expensive to manufacture, and the parts need to be replaced every month. The second reason is that this thing cannot be adapted to everyone. It can only be used on people of a fixed body type, so its adaptability is very poor." Miss Joey also explained the reasons this time. However, it seems that what the netizens said makes sense. This thing is indeed not cheap to manufacture.

However, in Teng Shu's view, the second question is the most crucial one. After all, not every patient in the Pokémon Center is of standard build. People vary in weight and height, and some even have relatively unique body types.

If this product can only be used by a certain group of people, then it is indeed not cost-effective, and it's no wonder that it was ultimately not purchased by the alliance.

After resolving Miaomiao's problem, Tengshu took Miaomiao to find Mr. Ono. However, when Tengshu found him, he didn't even recognize the person in front of him. It turned out to be the spirited middle-aged man from the TV show three years ago.

"Hello, you are Dean Teng Shu, right?" The other person was very humble. Upon seeing Teng Shu, he walked over in a few quick steps and grasped Teng Shu's hand. His rough palm was etched with the marks of time.

"Yes, I am Teng Shu. Are you Mr. Ono?" Teng Shu looked at Mr. Ono politely. The other man looked much older and was not the same person as before. Only three years had passed. What had happened?

But now is clearly not the time to ask these questions.

"...That's roughly the situation." Teng Shu took Miao Miao out and showed her to Mr. Ono.

Tengshu now has some understanding of Ono's situation. Ono's home at the moment can only be described as destitute, if not completely impoverished.

Mr. Ono is too poor.

It's likely that something unexpected happened in his life, which led to this incident.

“I see. Well, this would certainly be more convenient... But Mr. Tengshu, I... don’t have the money to make it now, so the material costs and so on..." Ono rubbed his hands awkwardly. Seeing this, Tengshu didn’t say anything, but instead signed a contract with Ono before transferring the material costs and payment.

Mr. Ono was so excited that his hands were shaking when he signed the contract.

Teng Shu didn't say anything.

He was compassionate, even somewhat overly so, which caused Tengshu some distress.

However, Teng Shu also knew that these days, when it comes to money transactions, it's best not to have too much sympathy, and it's still necessary to sign a contract.

Otherwise, if you get scammed, you'll be the one who suffers the most.

"When can we expect to receive it?" Teng Shu asked, while Mr. Ono was measuring Miao Miao's height and body length.

It is indeed quite expensive, but now that Tengshu has money, he is not too worried about this aspect. Moreover, with this, Happy Egg can do more things.

Furthermore, if something happens to Happy Egg later and it can't stay at the orphanage, then Tengshu can take good care of Meow Meow, so that Meow Meow won't suffer misfortune again.

"Meow Meow isn't very big; it should take about a week to finish," Ono gave a figure. With that money, he could focus on making things and wouldn't have to go to work at the sanitation department for the time being.

Teng Shu didn't care about this at all. They agreed that he would come back to pick it up in a week, and then Teng Shu picked up Miao Miao and prepared to go back.

It's impossible to do it well in a short time, and Teng Shu himself knows that.

Tengshu didn't ask much about Mr. Ono's situation, since he wasn't very familiar with Ono. After agreeing on a time, Tengshu planned to drive back. He had come here today mainly to make this for Miaomiao, and it was almost finished, so he could leave.

Teng Shu had no intention of lingering there and wasting more time; he had other things to do.

However, before Tengshu could even get on the bus, Mr. Ono gave Tengshu something, saying it was a small trinket he had made himself, and asked Tengshu to take it with him as a souvenir.

Tengshu took it; it was a bamboo object that looked like a small figure shaking its head, similar to a decorative piece. Seeing this, Tengshu placed it directly on the driver's seat before politely saying goodbye to Ono.

Watching Tengshu leave, Ono coughed and then went to buy materials.

Teng Shu touched the Poké Ball at his waist, thought for a moment, and then placed it on the passenger seat next to him.

no way.

If Tengshu gets another set of clothes damaged, he'll need to wash them when he gets back, and the car needs washing now too.

It has to be said that it's a little troublesome.

Fortunately, Pokémon makes car washing quite convenient.

"Meow..." Teng Shu glanced at the Poké Ball next to him. Meow's condition was like this, and it would be very difficult to cure it, but Teng Shu was confident in himself.

Or rather, he was confident in his cheat software.

"Hey? Right, I still have a magic conch shell." Teng Shu remembered an item he had drawn before. What if it could help?
