I run an orphanage in the Pokémon world.

Their bodies have become stiff.

Generally, rigor mortis will occur in a corpse as early as 30 minutes after death, and the typical time for stiffening is 2 to 6 hours, starting from the neck and jaw.

The knowledge points that Akai had seen before flashed through his mind, but at this moment Akai wished he had never seen them.

She suddenly understood why the old man had asked her to help bury him, but the old man probably never expected that the big wolfhound would follow him to the afterlife.

Kai used his superpowers to dig two graves and buried the old man, who was already dressed in his burial clothes and lying quietly, in them. The large wolfhound next to him was also buried on the other side, covered with a mound of earth. The two lives were thus forever silenced beneath the soil.

Akai felt a sadness in her heart. She didn't know why she was sad, but the sadness was so overwhelming that she could hardly suppress the pain in her heart.

This sum of over ten thousand yuan must be the old man's last savings, right?

However, this village now seems to have lost its last villagers.

When Akai left, he called the police using his computer. After all, someone had died, and such matters required the League's verification, a fact Akai was well aware of. However, Akai didn't intend to wait for Officer Jenny to arrive, so he simply grabbed his computer and used teleportation to leave.

Shortly after Akai left, Officer Jenny arrived in her car.

"We can't contact the person who reported the incident, and since it was an online report, we can't trace their IP address." Three police cars were dispatched this time. After all, someone died, and the cause of death cannot be determined before a forensic examination, so we have to be cautious.

“Well, but there’s only one old man left in this village for a long time. If I’m not mistaken…” Officer Jenny pinched her brow, her expression somewhat grave.

Although she didn't finish her sentence, the other Officer Jennys understood what their captain meant.

"Old Master Jin's son is too much. He still hasn't come back." Jun Sha, who was driving, said indignantly. She would sometimes come over to check on the old man and pet the big wolfhound. She knew a little about the situation of Old Master Jin's family.

“Their relationship was never good, and you’ve known that before. There’s nothing to say about this. I bet when Mr. Jin left, he was still thinking about his girlfriend…” Jun Sha Guang added. Then he saw a car, a luxury car, the kind that costs over a million, hurrying over from the side of the road and speeding towards the village.

Before Officer Jenny could speak, she immediately quickened her pace and they entered the village one after the other.

A Miss Officer Jenny, standing nearby, looked at the abandoned village and sighed with emotion.

She had heard that people have vitality, and a house will deteriorate very quickly if there is no human activity. Scientifically speaking, this is due to a lack of maintenance, but sometimes it also has a mystical feel to it.

However, Miss Officer Jenny felt that this statement made a lot of sense, because she immediately noticed that the houses in front of her were deteriorating very quickly, and these old houses were almost turning into dangerous buildings.

Jun Sakura opened the car door and hurriedly got out, while the man rushed in as well. When Jun Sakura saw him, her pace slowed down considerably.

She knew this person.

The son of Mr. Jin, the one who argued with Mr. Jin when he was young, then ran away from home to make a living, and would come back during holidays to continue arguing, and then leave in a huff after the argument.

"Ahhh! Father!" A heart-wrenching scream rang out as Officer Jenny rushed inside. There she saw a sign pointing to the burial site. The neatly dressed middle-aged man from before let out a wail and collapsed onto the mound of earth, weeping loudly.

Officer Jenny took a deep breath and suppressed her emotions.

Although it was cruel, she still had things to do.

“Mr. Xiaoyin, please accept my condolences. We need to make a simple assessment of your father’s condition…” Officer Jenny said softly, and then she saw Mr. Xiaoyin’s red eyes.

"I don't have a father anymore! I don't have a father anymore!" Mr. Silver's voice was hoarse and desperate. Although he had never liked his old man, at this moment, looking at the mound of earth in front of him, his heart felt as if it were being gripped by a hand.

Why, why didn't he come back a little sooner? If he had come back a little sooner, maybe everything would have been different.

Mr. Silver cried his eyes out, which were bloodshot.

However, Officer Jenny still needed to perform an autopsy to determine whether the death was natural or accidental. But seeing the grief-stricken Mr. Silver, Officer Jenny gave him some time to calm down.

Chapter 563 Pikachu's Little Discovery

“It was indeed a natural death.” Officer Jenny was very efficient. Mr. Silver, who had been standing to the side with red eyes, calmed down after hearing this. After all, he had been thinking that if something had happened to his father, he didn’t even want to think about how he would feel.

But seeing his father, Mr. Silver stumbled and knelt on the ground. Officers couldn't say anything, so they hurriedly left, leaving the place to Mr. Silver so he could rest.

Officers also investigated the aftermath and discovered the money transfer. However, after finding out that Mr. Kim had purchased the service himself, Officers didn't say anything. However, Officers were somewhat curious about this organization that called itself Evergreen City's Yorozuya (Odd Jobs Shop).

"Changqing City Yorozuya? That's a pretty arrogant name. Do you guys know this online agency?" Jun Sha Guang looked curiously at the website on her phone. It had a series of notes on it, including the scope of the commissions they accepted, the remuneration, and some user reviews, all of which were positive.

This piqued Officer Jenny's curiosity; it was the first time she had ever encountered such a strange organization.

“No, this is the first time I’ve heard of it. However, their network security is very good, and they have all the necessary registration certificates. They are a legitimate organization.” Another Officer Jenny looked at the message on her phone and then reported to Officer Jenny.

Upon hearing that the organization was legitimate, Officer Jenny decided not to pay any more attention to it. Although its name sounded impressive, it wasn't a particularly big deal overall. Officer Jenny had seen even more outrageous names before.

There are all sorts of names, such as "Pikachu is the best in the world," "I'm better than the champion," and "Reborn as a champion selling dry pot in Changqing City." It just goes to show how creative people are, at least in Officer J.S.'s opinion.

Since this Yorozuya is a registered and legal organization, there's nothing to worry about. Unless someone calls the police, Officer Jenny is too lazy to deal with these trivial matters. These Officer Jennys have a lot to do every day, so they are very busy.

Officer Jenny sometimes wishes she could be like the Monkey King in Journey to the West, plucking a hair and turning it into a whole bunch of monkeys to help her. Now, the police force in Changqing City is being used like three people, and when a particular incident occurs, she wishes she could split herself up and be used like six.

So Officer Jenny really doesn't have much time to pay attention to other things. For Officer Jenny, dealing with these things every day is already exhausting.

"It seems we still need to apply to the alliance to relax the enrollment policy." Officer Jenny sighed, then continued driving the police car to handle various matters in Evergreen City.

Meanwhile, Akai had returned to the orphanage. However, looking at the case she had accepted on the computer and thinking about the old man and the dead wolfhound, Akai felt a bit complicated. Her eyes were filled with confusion, as if she was thinking about something.

Akai was feeling a bit irritable.

She wasn't afraid of death, but looking at the old man's body and the wolfhound's body today, Akai still felt a strange mix of emotions.

After wandering around for a while, Kai somehow ended up outside the nursing home. She looked at the nursing home in front of her and paused for a moment.

Birth, aging, sickness, and death...

Kai floated in. There weren't many people in the welfare home now, and the nursing home was mostly occupied by Blissey and the other two Pokémon. Kai had seen them before when he was in a meeting, so he didn't care much and just went in.

At this moment, Teng Shu was unaware that while he was away from the orphanage, A Kai had experienced something that deeply shocked him. Teng Shu was currently busy researching the ultimate weapon.

"Ultimate weapon... Not many people know about this, and most of it is just legend." Teng Shu stood thoughtfully in the library; he was there to research.

These days, looking up information in a library seems a bit strange, given how advanced the internet is. This advanced internet has brought about a massive accumulation of information; you can learn a lot just by typing a few words on a keyboard or mobile phone. It's an information explosion, so libraries have a rather unique place in our lives.

Many people feel that the library is not very meaningful, and many people even use it as their study room. However, Tengshu came here this time because he couldn't find the things he wanted to look up. Those things did not exist on the internet. Tengshu was not surprised by this, after all, the birth of the ultimate weapon and the immortal flower, Huayeti, were legends in the Carlos region.

Therefore, even in library documents, there are not many records.

"My scalp is tingling..." Teng Shu sighed. He remembered that it was Vladali who did it, but he really couldn't remember where it was. After all, so much time had passed in the game's storyline that Teng Shu had long forgotten.

Teng Shu shook his head. He planned to study the task slowly. Then he returned to the orphanage. He planned to cook lunch first and then have a spar with the abandoned monkey.

For some reason, the Abandoned Monkey has been unusually excited lately, often running around aimlessly. Since Tengshu and the Abandoned Monkey have fought before, the Abandoned Monkey now knows Tengshu's strength and often comes to spar with him. Tengshu is naturally willing to do so, as fighting alongside the Abandoned Monkey allows him to accumulate his own combat experience.

Although Tengshu has already received a Fighting Experience Pack, he still has some understanding of his own fighting abilities. While he has mastered quite a bit, there is still a gap between him and the Pokémon. Fighting more with Forsaken will allow Tengshu to further improve his Fighting Experience.

Teng Shu didn't intend to do anything with fighting; he just treated it as a form of entertainment. However, from the current perspective, Teng Shu felt that this form of entertainment was quite good, at least he had a lot of fun every day.

“Well…” Tengshu glanced at the kitchen. Good, he didn’t see Mew. This relieved Tengshu. If Mew were here, it would be troublesome. Tengshu always found the food Mew brought to him rather unpredictable, and the source of the food was also quite peculiar. Before, it was the deep sea, and now it’s the Padia Crater. What will it be in the future?

So now that he saw that Dream was not there, Tengshu was relieved. He was afraid that Dream would run away, which would be troublesome. Every day, just thinking about how to deal with Dream's ingredients made Tengshu's scalp tingle, which was quite time-consuming.

"Then let's have grilled fish today." Teng Shu thought about his food cabinet. There wasn't much left in it, and it was about time to go grocery shopping. He decided to drive there later. Although lunchtime was a bit awkward and there might not be anything available, there was nothing he could do about it.

The method of grilling fish is relatively easy. For some reason, most fish in the Pokémon world have only large bones and no small bones, whether they are sea fish or river fish.

In his previous life, Teng Shu didn't eat much fish because he had choked on fish when he was a child, and fish wasn't a very friendly food for impatient people.

Of course, the least friendly group to fish are international students studying abroad.

Because, apart from some countries where people have a habit of eating river fish, hospitals in other European and American countries don't know how to deal with the problem of fish bones stuck in the throat. This is because fish bones stuck in the throat are mostly a problem with river fish, while sea fish generally have large bones and rarely small ones.

This leads to a situation where international students who choke on river fish end up spending a lot of money at the hospital, and some even choose to fly back to their home country for treatment.

Because this is cheaper than going to a foreign hospital for treatment.

It's also important to note that if you get a fishbone stuck in your throat, don't believe in those so-called folk remedies. You might be lucky and nothing will happen, but if you're unlucky, it could be life-threatening. Just go to the hospital and have a doctor remove it with fishbone tongs. It's very simple.

After preparing grilled fish and some home-style dishes, Tengshu treated everyone to a meal. However, there were far fewer people eating this time; it was just Tengshu, the Pokémon from the orphanage, and the old man. The other Pokémon professors were not there.

Tengshu wasn't surprised. After all, the research institute next door had been repaired, and the Pokémon professors were busy inside. Moreover, the popularity of Forsaken's new move was gradually declining, so fewer people were paying attention to it. Tengshu was actually happy to see this happen.

Meanwhile, Locke and his friends were still traveling around Lumiose City, and no one knew what these guys were planning to do. So this time, Tengshu cooked less fish. The ones who ate the fish the most were Meowth and Charming Meowth. These two feline Pokémon were particularly fond of the grilled fish that Tengshu made.

After finishing his meal, Teng Shu put the dishes in the kitchen and then went to get his car, which was a tacit understanding between Teng Shu and A Kai.

"Why does it feel like I haven't gone grocery shopping in ages?" Teng Shu thought to himself as he drove. But thinking about it carefully, it did seem to be true. The last time Teng Shu went grocery shopping was a long time ago. Thinking of this, Teng Shu passed by Pikachu's house and stopped the car to take a look.

It was a bright and sunny day, and Pikachu and his family were sunbathing outside. Little Pikachu was playing with Ms. Baomeng, but Pikachu seemed a bit reluctant to join in. However, he didn't stop his child and his partner. Meanwhile, Pikachu's partner was happily eating berries, which looked like high-end berries.

Berries are actually graded. The lowest grade is small berries and berries that have been damaged by pests. Next are ordinary berries, and the best berries are the ones that Pikachu's partner holds.

It's big and delicious, but the effect is the same. It just tastes better and is much more expensive. It's the kind of product that doesn't rip off poor people.

Teng Shu honked the horn, and Pikachu turned around sharply. Upon seeing Teng Shu, it excitedly came over. Bao Meng, standing to the side, looked on with some envy. Teng Shu smiled at the other party, greeted them, and then drove Pikachu towards the urban area of ​​Changqing City.

"Pikachu, you look a bit rounder these past few days," Teng Shu said with a smile as he glanced at Pikachu.

From the way Pikachu jumped onto the car mat, Tengshu knew that Pikachu had gotten a little fatter than before.

Tengshu wasn't surprised by this. After all, that's just how Pikachu is. Most wild Pokémon are opportunists; they eat as much as they can and conserve their energy when they can't eat. Pikachu has been fed by Ms. Baomeng recently, so it's natural that it has gained a lot of weight. Therefore, Tengshu wasn't surprised by this.

"Pika~" Pikachu called out shyly, then stretched out its little paw to touch the fat on its belly, becoming even more embarrassed.

Teng Shu wanted to laugh, but he held it in.

"You still need to exercise more. How about we go for a run to buy groceries next time?" Teng Shu looked at Pikachu with a smile, and Pikachu immediately nodded after hearing this.

Tengshu remained noncommittal. It wasn't that he disliked Pikachu, but Pikachu, being a Pokémon with flesh and blood, was similar to humans. It couldn't be too fat or too thin, as that would affect its health. Naturally, Tengshu hoped that Pikachu could be healthy in both body and mind.

"Then it's settled." Teng Shu patted Pikachu's head, and then drove Pikachu to the vegetable market in Changqing City.

The market still sells vegetables at lunchtime, but the quantity and quality may not be as good. After all, the vegetables delivered in the morning are usually the best. Of course, if you buy in large quantities and regularly, you can negotiate a partnership with the vendors to have some vegetables delivered every day.

However, the amount of food consumed at Tengshu's orphanage was always irregular, so even Tengshu himself didn't know when he would need to make purchases, making it impossible to reach an agreement on the matter.

"A roast duck for five hundred dollars?" Teng Shu saw a roast duck, but he wasn't too surprised. He knew that there were some Pokémon kept by the Pokémon League, so he wasn't surprised.

However, the price still made Teng Shu laugh and cry. In his previous life, the cheapest roast duck from a roadside stall could be bought for twenty yuan, but here it was quite expensive.

Tengshu's gaze bypassed this area, and he led Pikachu inside. At this moment, Pikachu's nose twitched, and then it curiously looked at a certain spot.

"What's wrong, Pikachu?" Tengshu sensed Pikachu's emotions and stopped to look at it curiously, asking. Pikachu twitched its nose and then ran towards a certain spot, with Tengshu following behind.

Has Pikachu discovered something?

Tengshu was a little curious, as Pikachu had never done this before.

Chapter 564 The Performance List of Cute Pokémon

Tengshu followed and saw that there were people selling food at a stall. This was not strange, since even in the Pokémon world, there are people who want to get rich by setting up a stall, but it is very difficult.

Tengshu followed Pikachu and arrived at a small stall selling tiramisu. The owner was a girl who smiled and asked Tengshu if he wanted a delicious tiramisu. Pikachu was sniffing around the stall, looking very serious and strange.

"Is this tiramisu? The kind with eggs?" Teng Shu looked at the tiramisu pieces displayed in front of him and the female shop owner, asking with a somewhat strange expression.

Upon hearing this, the other person immediately nodded and enthusiastically explained to Teng Shu that the egg was a sterile egg, which she had specially bought, so it was safe to eat. However, Teng Shu's expression became even stranger upon hearing this.

Teng Shu naturally knew about tiramisu.

After all, in his previous life, when Teng Shu was in college, he had learned how to make desserts in order to pursue the girl he liked. In the end, he didn't win the girl's heart, but he did learn how to make desserts. Tiramisu is a relatively common type of dessert, and there are two ways to make it.

One method is the traditional way of making it with eggs, and the other is the way the store makes it without eggs. At the time, Teng Shu was very curious as to why there were two ways to make a dessert, and the biggest difference was the addition of eggs.

Later, Teng Shu learned that tiramisu has unique requirements for eggs, which means that if not done properly during the production process, the tiramisu may become contaminated. Excessive Salmonella levels can lead to problems such as diarrhea. Therefore, in order to avoid troublesome disputes and potential infection issues when selling desserts like tiramisu, the store developed a tiramisu that does not require eggs.

And most of the time, tiramisu needs to be refrigerated, but this girl in front of me...

Seeing Pikachu sniffing around before finally looking at the tiramisu with a puzzled expression, Tengshu roughly knew that there might be something wrong with the tiramisu in front of him.

"How long has your tiramisu been out in the sun since you made it?" Teng Shu asked the female boss in front of him. She didn't think much of it and told him. After hearing this, Teng Shu sighed, then silently took out his phone and sent a message to Officer J.S.A. The female boss even offered Teng Shu a bite, but Teng Shu refused.

Teng Shu was worried that he would immediately transform into a jetpack warrior after eating.

After a while, Officer Jenny arrived, carrying a special device. She greeted Teng Shu, while the girl next to her had red eyes because Teng Shu had stopped her from selling tiramisu, causing her to lose three orders.

"Miss Officer Jenny!" When the girl saw Officer Jenny, she thought that her calling the police had worked, so she immediately grabbed Officer Jenny's hand. However, she was also a little surprised when she saw what Officer Jenny was carrying.

She looked at Teng Shu in disbelief, as if she had just realized that it was Teng Shu who called the police, or that she suspected there was something wrong with her tiramisu.

"I told you, the weather is hot and humid now, you'll easily catch too many germs if you're not careful," Teng Shu said helplessly. He had just explained, but the other person didn't believe him.

The girl was about to say something when, a second later, Officer Jenny's instrument returned the results: Salmonella levels were indeed too high, and the bacteria also included other pathogens. Ingesting it could result in becoming a jetpack fighter at best, but in the worst-case scenario, the outcome was uncertain.

Only then did the girl belatedly thank Teng Shu, because if Teng Shu hadn't stopped her, she would have sold the product and lost a lot of money.

Looking at the girl with red eyes, Teng Shu was both amused and exasperated. These days, there are many people who set up stalls, and many who want to do so, thinking that setting up a stall is an easy way to make money, be their own boss, and not have to put up with this kind of nonsense. But actually, that's just wishful thinking.

Setting up a street stall can be very tough, and making money isn't easy either.

Especially those who claim to earn a certain amount of money per month or per day on short video platforms are almost always scammers.

They came for the learning fees and franchise fees.

Having solved a small problem, Tengshu smiled and encouraged Pikachu. If it weren't for Pikachu, Tengshu wouldn't have discovered this, so Pikachu definitely deserves credit.
