I run an orphanage in the Pokémon world.

...

Teng Shu was unaware of A Kai's thoughts. He drew for a while and then went to make dinner, since making dinner was very important. However, as soon as he entered the kitchen, Teng Shu saw a familiar face.

dream.

"Goodness, you're here again? What did you bring this time?" Teng Shu was already used to it. He didn't know what had gotten into Meng Huan lately, but she brought some strange ingredients every day. He didn't expect her to bring them today as well.

However, Tengshu was also a little curious, since there were some ingredients that he felt he would probably never have known about in his life if Meng Huan hadn't brought them over.

For example, those three from before.

With a snap, Meng Huan placed something aside, and Teng Shu glanced at it.

It is the evolved form of Sweet Bamboo, Sweet Dance.

The other person was looking at Tengshu with a curious gaze, surveying the surrounding environment.

"?" Teng Shu slowly typed out a question mark. You didn't bring Sweet Wuni this time, did you?

Don't mess with me!

Fortunately, after Dream explained, Tengshu realized that Sweet Wuni had actually come to eat. She was a friend that Dream had seen on the way and brought along. This time, Dream hadn't brought any ingredients.

"Oh, that's easy then. You can just eat whatever you like." Teng Shu waved his hand. Since it wasn't just about eating Sweet Wu Ni, the cooking could be much more casual. Besides, Teng Shu had just bought some ingredients that could be used to entertain Dream and Sweet Wu Ni.

Dreamy nodded happily, but looking at Sweet Wuni, Tengshu was also a little troubled. What should he feed her?

Chapter 566 The Eccentric Gourmet - Dream Special Edition (Part Four)

Tengshu had always been very curious about one question: what do Pokémon eat in the world of Pokémon? After all, it was a very intriguing question.

Normal Pokémon, being flesh and blood, can eat regular food, but what about Ghost-type Pokémon? What about Grimer? And Rock-type and Steel-type Pokémon? What do these Pokémon eat? That's a question that makes one curious.

However, after arriving in this world, Teng Shu learned that his kitchen had a transformation function, so theoretically, even if Teng Shu pulled out a carrot, Sweet Wu Ni could still eat it.

However, Tengshu felt something was off, so he abandoned the idea and started thinking about what Grass-type Pokémon like Slimie usually ate. After some research, Tengshu discovered that Grass-type Pokémon actually eat very simple things. You just need to give them some water, and they can photosynthesize on their own.

Of course, this applies to most normal Pokémon, so Grass-type Pokémon are known as the easiest and most convenient to train. However, with the emergence of some unique Grass-type Pokémon, these Pokémon have undergone some subtle changes, resulting in some very strange mutations.

For example, Tiramisu and its evolution, Masked Meowth, are indeed Grass-type Pokémon, so it's possible to raise them this way. However, according to research by some Pokémon nutritionists in the League, they have found that if these Pokémon are fed a properly balanced diet, their growth rate and physical condition will be enhanced.

"Forget it, I might as well make a big meal." Teng Shu shook his head and didn't dwell on it anymore. This time, he planned to make roast duck. After all, it was rumored that if you buried a corpse under a plant, the plant would grow better the following year. Teng Shu thought that if burying a corpse was acceptable, then making roast duck should be acceptable to Tian Wu Ni as well.

Roast duck was very common in my previous life, and it was also very cheap. A roast duck on the street generally cost between 20 and 40 yuan, which made many people wonder, did the merchants not want to make a profit? Why was it so cheap?

However, the ducks used for roast duck are actually the kind that grow quickly. After the down is extracted from these ducks, they are processed. Some of them only cost three or four yuan each, so the cost is naturally low. But in the world of Pokémon, ducks are a real high-end luxury product.

The duck that Tengshu bought was quite good-looking, large, and plump, making it look very appetizing. Tengshu liked it very much, so he was quite fond of this kind of duck. The cooking method was also relatively simple and not difficult.

The only thing to be careful about is choosing fruitwood, which can give the duck a hint of fruitwood fragrance when roasted, making it taste better. However, only a few people can roast duck with fruitwood, and the way ducks are roasted in this world is more about marinating them first and then roasting them, which makes the taste very magical.

After placing the roast duck into the oven, Tengshu clapped his hands and glanced at Meng Huan beside him. Meng Huan was handing Tengshu a glass of juice. Tengshu didn't think much of it; making the roast duck and starting the fire had indeed left him a little dehydrated, so he thanked her and took a sip.

It tastes great, sweet with a unique fruity flavor.

Just as he was thinking this, a question suddenly flashed through Tengshu's mind: where did Dream's juice come from? Tengshu didn't bring any tree fruit with him this time, but Dream still gave him fruit, so based on the current situation, it's somewhat possible that the juice came from him.

[1. Mew took out a berry from its storage, then used its superpowers to juice it, and then handed itself a glass of juice.]

[2. Dream squeezes juice from Sweet Wuni and then uses it for herself]

Teng Shu glanced silently at Tian Wuni, who was looking at him curiously. When he saw the juice on Tian Wuni's body, Teng Shu's lips twitched. He was now certain that this was Tian Wuni's juice.

However, Tengshu didn't really care about this. After all, there were indeed some issues with the complete evolved forms of Pokémon like Smellba, Stellene, and Smellgrain. Tengshu himself had drunk the juice from Smellba, and it tasted very good, but the juice from Stellene had an even more unique flavor.

As for Meetreena? Tengshu hadn't tried it. After all, Meetreena is such a unique Pokémon, with a very unique personality and a rather unique way of producing juice. So, after seeing it once, Tengshu declined.

After all, Tengshu is not a porridge-like creature; it doesn't have its feet controlled.

"How did you bring this Sweetie here?" Tengshu asked curiously while drinking his juice. Mengshu had always brought ingredients before, so when Tengshu saw Mengshu bring Sweetie, he thought that Mengshu had finally awakened some strange hobby and was planning to do something outrageous here. But he didn't expect that it was just brought to eat together.

After some gesturing, Tengshu roughly guessed that he had probably seen it on the way and brought it along. This was quite in line with Meng Huan's personality, since Meng Huan himself was like that, living a carefree life every day.

High emotional intelligence is called carefree; low emotional intelligence is called recklessness.

Therefore, Tengshu also understands why there are some strange messages in Mew's Pokédex, such as that Mew does not have human morality. It is because the Pokémon Professor once saw Mew do some things that are incomprehensible to humans.

Tengshu personally thinks there's nothing wrong with that. After all, humans are humans and Pokémon are Pokémon; they're different species. You can't force your own moral standards to bind others.

"I thought you'd bring some ingredients this time." Teng Shu smiled. His relationship with Meng Huan was very good, so he spoke to her casually. Meng Huan looked around curiously, and then a moment later, Teng Shu felt something in his hand.

It was sticky and slippery, and when I pulled my hand out, I could feel the stretchy texture of cooked cheese. But strangely, when Teng Shu looked at his hand, there was nothing there.

"This is..." Teng Shu looked at the table in front of him. It was empty, but when Teng Shu reached out to touch it, he felt that he touched that strange thing when he was still ten centimeters away from the table.

Teng Shu touched it in confusion, and then found that it was roughly round. Moreover, this thing was invisible to the naked eye. Even though Teng Shu had already touched it, his hand told his brain, "I touched something," but his brain only said, "I can't see anything."

"This is really interesting." Teng Shu's expression was somewhat subtle. He had never seen invisible ingredients before. Although some special ingredients can become invisible under certain conditions, such as some jellyfish, they are almost invisible in the ocean. There are also some goods that were thrown from ships and sunk into the sea in modern history, which are almost invisible in the dark.

But this was truly the first time Teng Shu had ever seen such a unique, hidden ingredient.

"What is this?" Teng Shu asked, puzzled. He leaned closer to smell it, but there was no smell at all. If he had to describe it, it would be a very faint scent.

It's the kind of scent you smell when you walk through a forest after a downpour, but it's incredibly faint; you can barely smell it on the vines, which is quite magical.

"This thing can't be photographed, how am I supposed to make it?" Tengshu was a bit of a headache. It turned out that it wasn't that Dream hadn't brought the ingredients, but that Tengshu couldn't see the ingredients that Dream had brought.

Teng Shu tentatively searched online and actually found it.

[Identifying Popular Online Creature Videos] A video posted by an uploader named Fox Master mentioned a unique ingredient, and Teng Shu clicked on it out of curiosity.

[Now let's look at this. From the video, we can see that the person filming seems to be touching something, but the viewers can't see it, and even I can't see it. But this is perfectly normal. After consulting with my colleagues at the Institute of Botany, I confirmed that it is a very, very special and rare plant.]

This plant is called the Moonlight Arum because it only glows at night, making it visible. However, the light it emits is exactly the same as moonlight, so if you're not paying attention, you'll just think it's moonlight shining on the ground. It's edible, and its texture is similar to konjac, but even tastier.

Therefore, this food is generally very expensive, as it is quite difficult to find. We believe that obtaining this food is extremely difficult, but it tastes really good, so you should try it.

Seeing this, Tengshu knew what this thing was. However, knowing it didn't really give him any ideas. Since its texture was similar to konjac, there were many ways to make it. The simplest way was to make konjac snacks or konjac chicken, or something like that.

So overall, there are still many choices. However, looking at the ways to eat it described above, Tengshu still tried cutting off a small piece and taking a bite. After taking a bite, Tengshu nodded in satisfaction. The taste of this thing was indeed very good, at least in Tengshu's opinion. With that in mind, Tengshu also figured out the specific way to cook it.

High-end ingredients often require only the simplest cooking methods. After a busy day, Chef Teng started his work again. This time, Chef Teng was making moonlight konjac, and the method he used was very ordinary. He simply cut the konjac in half, used one half to make konjac chicken, and used the other half to make konjac soup.

While cooking, Tengshu's expression was somewhat strange. In the past, every time Tengshu cooked, he was in a state of smoke and fire. To put it simply, Tengshu was quite tormented. The more food he made and the more varied it was, the less he wanted to eat afterward.

What's this called? This is called a cook preparing food until he's full.

It's not that Tengshu was stealing food, since Tengshu had no reason to steal food. It's just that the smell alone was suffocating. Over time, people would feel full, which is very normal. Tengshu used to do the same when making New Year's Eve dinner.

But this time, things were a little different. While Teng Shu was cooking, Tian Wu Ni was jumping around nearby. At first, Teng Shu thought it was because Tian Wu Ni wanted to dance, but as Tian Wu Ni danced, Teng Shu noticed that the smell in the kitchen instantly became much fresher.

If it used to taste like various seasonings, now it has become a very refreshing flavor, with a feeling that makes you feel like you're basking in a spring breeze.

Teng Shu was somewhat surprised. He wasn't stupid, and he could naturally tell that this was probably thanks to Tian Wuni.

"Sweet Wuni, is that you?" Teng Shu looked at Sweet Wuni and asked with some curiosity. Sweet Wuni nodded happily and continued to dance and sing. Teng Shu's mood improved a bit.

Normally speaking, this is not good for a chef. After all, a qualified chef can tell whether the seasoning is lacking just by smelling the air. But Teng Shu has been cooking for so long that adding seasoning is as natural to him as yawning.

So this is actually quite good.

With Sweetie's help, Tengshu quickly finished preparing dinner and then rang the bell to call everyone to come and eat. During dinner, Dream ate in the kitchen, as Dream didn't like to interact with anyone other than Tengshu. Tengshu didn't mind, since Dream could do whatever she wanted as long as she didn't cause trouble.

"Eh? Dean, what kind of dish is this?" Grandpa Xingzhen asked Tengshu curiously. Tengshu paused for a moment after hearing this, then turned his head to take a look. It was konjac chicken, but the moonlight konjac had absorbed a lot of soup and its color had become a bit strange, but it still had a slightly transparent feel.

So it looks like some soup threads floating in the bowl.

"Oh, this is Moonlight Konjac Chicken." Teng Shu introduced with a smile, then glanced at Tian Wuni, who was eating roast duck. It seemed that this little one was a carnivore.

This is normal, as there are some carnivorous plants in nature, such as the famous pitcher plant, which is also the prototype of the pitcher flower.

"Moonlight Konjac?!" Grandpa Xingzhen was somewhat surprised; this ingredient was not cheap.

After taking a bite, the old man nodded, saying that the taste was quite good.

Chapter 567 Teng Shu: I feel like I'm navigating a game's storyline.

After dinner, Tengshu handed over the task of washing the dishes to Kai, and then went out to take a look around. He planned to check the situation today. If there were no abandoned Pokémon outside, then Tengshu planned to return to Luna City and find a way to deal with the Leafy thing.

Just as Tengshu was about to go out, he saw Happy Egg. Happy Egg looked at Tengshu and waved. Tengshu was a little confused, but he still went over. After he got there, he saw Happy Egg's big eyes staring straight at him.

"What's wrong?" Teng Shu looked at Xingfu Dan with some confusion. Xingfu Dan stretched out its hand and gestured twice. Then Teng Shu froze. He realized that he seemed to have forgotten something.

For example, the medical equipment that Lucky Egg asked him to buy, and the automatic turning device customized by that great inventor, are things that Teng Shu hasn't done yet.

"Ah... I'm sorry, I forgot. I'll go buy it now!" Teng Shu fled in a sorry state. He had been too busy lately, so sometimes he felt like he couldn't manage everything. When people are very busy, it's easy to forget things. Teng Shu forgot about these things.

Fortunately, I've remembered now, so I can take care of these things first.

He drove off in a hurry. This time, he was going to buy some medical equipment and medicine. He could buy medicine at a pharmacy, but he could only buy medical equipment at a medical device store.

The good news is that these are medical equipment stores and pharmacies, not a farmers' market, so even if Tengshu goes out at this time, he will have enough time to buy things without worrying about wasting time, which makes Tengshu feel much more relaxed.

"Let me see, an oxygen machine..." Teng Shu looked at the list in his hand. Lucky Egg didn't want many things, but they were all relatively expensive. Or rather, although there were cheaper options, there weren't many cheap ones, and some of the cheaper ones were so bad that Teng Shu felt a stomachache. So Teng Shu chose relatively more acceptable brands.

After buying everything, Teng Shu returned it all. As for the turning device, he couldn't get it yet, since it wasn't finished. Teng Shu wasn't in a hurry, though. Fortunately, there weren't many patients in the orphanage during this period, and Xingfudan was still able to take care of them, which made Teng Shu feel a bit more relaxed.

"So everything you wanted has arrived." Teng Shu handed the items to Xingfu Dan, who nodded happily. Xingfu Dan then led Teng Shu to load the items into a certain area of ​​the nursing home. Teng Shu looked at the quiet nursing home in front of him, his eyes somewhat unfocused.

The elderly care service in the Pokémon world is actually quite developed. After all, there is a lot of demand for elderly care in the Pokémon world, because this world is not only home to humans, but also to Pokémon. This leads to Pokémon also having the need for elderly care. Moreover, not all Pokémon can receive attentive care, so Pokémon retirement homes are not exactly a new industry in the Pokémon world.

"But why does it feel like the Pokémon that have been added recently..." Tengshu paused for a moment, wondering why no Pokémon had been added recently, but then he realized the reason.

The things the director of the Viridian City welfare home did previously caused a significant drop in the number of stray Pokémon in Viridian City. Since the welfare home was also run by that director, those Pokémon sent there for retirement...

This guy was the first orphanage director in the entire Pokémon League to be sentenced to death. He had also committed many other crimes, so some people think that the death penalty was too lenient for him.

Teng Shu sighed, then took out his phone, scrolled through it casually, and walked out of the orphanage. He planned to make a round of inspections and leave once everything was settled.

However, as soon as Teng Shu opened his phone, he saw an interesting news item.

[The first hearing of the Pikachu case was postponed because the defendant, Shinya, was rushed to the hospital due to severe mania and hallucinations.]

Seeing this, Teng Shu's lips twitched, and then a smile appeared on his face. Shinji had finally paid the price. Although it cost Teng Shu quite a few happiness points, happiness points weren't that hard to obtain these days. Making that scumbag pay the price was still a very worthwhile deal for Teng Shu.

"Although it's delayed, your life is ruined. This is probably the price you pay," Teng Shu sighed. He was just as angry as he was when he first saw those case reports.

Although Shinji paid the price for this scumbag, the Pokémon that Shinji hurt will never come back. Fujiki was a little sad about this, but he also knew the helplessness of the situation. Sometimes, justice can only do its duty to not be absent.

Given the current level of technology in the world, it is impossible to stop crime at its inception, unless criminals these days are all out of their minds and commit crimes in front of Officer Jenny. Otherwise, justice can only be said to be present to the extent that it is not absent.

"From now on, you'll spend your life in fear." Teng Shu scrolled past the news. There was no need to pay attention to Shinzai's news anymore. The other party had really become mentally ill, and in a particularly severe way. Even if the court acquitted him, Shinzai's life was ruined.

However, Teng Shu had no opinion on this. He thought it was actually a good thing. After all, Shinji had killed so many Pokémon, and it was already very good that Shinji hadn't had to pay for his crimes.

Teng Shu felt he had already done more than enough by driving the other party completely insane.

Tengshu stopped paying attention to Shinya's affairs. After all, Shinya's life was already ruined when he was afflicted by the Nightmare Talisman. However, the Nightmare Talisman's activation conditions were quite troublesome. It required the target to have a blood debt, and the Nightmare Talisman extracted the resentment and power of those dead Pokémon.

In a way, how long it will take for Shinya to recover depends on when the Pokémon stop hating him, but Fujiki thinks that's difficult. So many of those Pokémon have died, and Fujiki feels that this man will never be forgiven in his lifetime.

Teng Shu inspected the orphanage. It had been relatively quiet outside the orphanage for some time, and Teng Shu figured today would be no exception. After walking around, Teng Shu didn't see any abandoned Pokémon, which made him feel much more relaxed.

Just as he was about to leave, Teng Shu caught a glimpse of something out of the corner of his eye. He turned his head and saw a Pikachu.

This Pikachu was covered in wounds, and a piece was missing from its ear, as if it had been cut with a knife. When Tengshu saw this, it paused for a moment, and then quickly pounced on it, but stopped as soon as it got there.

Because he discovered that this was not a Pokémon.

Or rather, it's not a living Pokémon.

The other party is a spirit.

"Why didn't the Night Demon take it away?" Teng Shu was a little puzzled. His Death Beacon had helped many souls pass on, but they were mostly human souls. This was the first time Teng Shu had ever seen a soul like a Pokémon.

Tengshu looked at Pikachu, whose eyes were vacant. But the moment Pikachu saw Tengshu, its eyes widened in terror. However, it seemed to realize that Tengshu was not the one who had hurt it, and Pikachu relaxed slightly.

For some reason, Teng Shu felt that the Pikachu in front of him looked familiar, as if he had seen it before...

"You are...you are Shinji's Pikachu?" Tengshu remembered. This Pikachu looked just like Shinji's Pikachu, except that its injuries were more severe.

However, Pikachu did not respond and just walked blankly towards the Lighthouse of Death. Seeing this, Tengshu sighed. Although Shinji paid the price, Pikachu's life could not be saved.

Tengshu watched as Pikachu's soul dissipated in the lighthouse. He then returned to his room. Although he couldn't save Pikachu's life, there was another Pokémon waiting for salvation.

That night, Teng Shu lay down in a hotel in Miare City and drifted into a familiar dream.

However, this time the vine did not see the flower petals, but it did see the Bogaman.

"Pop?" Piplup tilted its head and looked at Tengshu. Tengshu smiled and patted Piplup's head. Piplup paused for a moment, then happily scurried over and tried to hug Tengshu with its short arms, but these Pokémon's arms were too short, so it couldn't reach it at all.

Teng Shu was both amused and exasperated; this little guy...

"Hmm? But why do you seem much more spiritual this time?" Teng Shu stroked Bogaman's head, and the other man squinted his eyes in enjoyment, swaying his body as if he had drunk fake alcohol.
