I run an orphanage in the Pokémon world.

"If that's the case, then you can take Grimer to the Pokémon Career Assessment Center in the League. Who knows, you might be able to find it a job." Professor Oak's attitude changed quickly.

Before, when Teng Shu talked about work, he thought it would be best for Chou Ni to adapt slowly on his own. But he didn't expect Chou Ni to have such a strong appetite. His client just saw that Chou Ni ate two days' worth of other Chou Ni's food in one go, and now he's hungry again.

If you release this kind of stinky mud, will the other side be able to get enough to eat? If they can't get enough to eat, they might as well be a wage slave in the league.

Tengshu was also somewhat tempted upon hearing this. Grimer, in particular, was a Pokémon with exceptional talent, and judging from its current appetite, it had a very large appetite. Therefore, Tengshu felt that letting Grimer roam freely was not a good option.

Thinking of this, Teng Shu put Grimer into his Poké Ball and started his little truck. He planned to ask Grimer about it, and if it went through, then perhaps a new chapter in Grimer's life would truly begin.

As Teng Shu was driving, he was about to leave when he ran into Grandpa Xingzhen. Grandpa Xingzhen stopped the car and asked Teng Shu for a ride, as he wanted to go to the bus stop along the way. Teng Shu naturally did not object and agreed immediately.

Teng Shu knew what Grandpa Xingzhen wanted to do.

As we drove away from the orphanage, the sunlight streamed through the window, illuminating the road and dappling the trees. Grandpa Xingzhen's eyes seemed to drift into a daze.

Teng Shu glanced at the old man beside him and slowed down a bit.

Teng Shu drives very steadily and has a good temper, so he usually doesn't get angry when he encounters those amazing drivers on the road. However, he couldn't hold back when waiting at a traffic light.

"...Hello, here's my driver's license. Can you tell me how you did it?" Teng Shu looked at the car in front of him, his eyes filled with shock.

At this moment, the car's rear end was upright, making the whole car look like it was standing straight. However, the problem was that this was a traffic light lane, and even if Teng Shu racked his brains, he couldn't figure out how the other party had managed to do this.

Then Teng Shu saw a long-haired female driver emerge from inside. Teng Shu became even more curious. So how did she manage to get out?

The coach didn't teach me this!

The guy next to me had been trying to suppress a smile while waiting at the red light, but when he heard Teng Shu's words and saw the driver's license Teng Shu handed over, he couldn't hold back anymore and burst into wild laughter. Just then, the light turned green, so he drove off.

Teng Shu silently started the car, otherwise he was worried that the driver behind him would give him a high-sounding greeting.

After driving to the bus stop, Grandpa Xingzhen got off, and Tengshu didn't say much, just greeted him and left.

Teng Shu knew that Grandpa Xingzhen was going to the cemetery, since Grandpa Xingzhen's wife and children were there. However, Teng Shu felt that the old man might not want to see that unfilial son. So sometimes, Teng Shu couldn't help but sigh that gambling, drugs, and prostitution really do harm people a lot.

After seeing the old man off, Teng Shu drove his car, carrying Chou Ni, to the Alliance's office.

As soon as he got off the bus, Tengshu saw Officer Jenny, who was talking to someone with a serious expression. Seeing this, Tengshu didn't go up to disturb her. Instead, he took Grimer to the Pokémon Career Assessment Center. This center is responsible for providing career assessments for all Pokémon in the entire league, determining what kind of work a Pokémon is suitable for, and also providing services to help Pokémon find jobs.

However, most Pokémon wouldn't choose this option, as it's relatively inefficient.

"Hello, sir." As soon as he entered, someone stood up to greet Teng Shu. Teng Shu wasn't embarrassed and directly stated his requirements, then emphasized the situation of the stinky mud and its appetite. After hearing Teng Shu's words, the staff quickly conducted a simple test on the stinky mud.

Although it sounds simple, it will actually take some time, since they need to see how much Mud can eat at once before deciding what kind of work to assign it.

"Dean Tengshu, this is the estimated job posting list for Grimer. There are two jobs that require Grimer." The staff member explained gently to Tengshu. Tengshu was a little curious after hearing this, so he took it and looked at it.

Toxic Waste Treatment Center

Sewerage Network Treatment Center

Seeing these two hints, Tengshu wasn't too surprised. After all, he had already guessed what the most suitable job would be for Grimer. Because of its habits, Grimer is basically only capable of doing these basic jobs.

Moreover, these tasks are indeed more suitable for Pokémon like Grimer.

Teng Shu didn't have any objections to this. Stinky Mud could live in these places and be fed every day without going hungry. The Alliance could also save some cleaning costs, so it was a win-win situation.

After waiting all afternoon, Teng Shu finally received the test results for Stinky Mud. Stinky Mud's appetite was indeed astonishing, consuming nearly 500 kilograms of waste a day, and its digestion speed was also astonishing. The Alliance directly provided an evaluation form, which made it very clear and easy to judge when looking for a job.

However, even though he got the document, Teng Shu wasn't sure if it would work, so he went to the welfare home's management office again.

This is just a very small office. After all, the welfare home is not an important department in the entire alliance system, so this department is naturally very small. Teng Shu doesn't care about this. He just came to ask questions.

"Hmm? Dean Teng Shu, regarding this issue... take a look at this." Upon hearing Teng Shu's words, the office clerk smiled and took out a document, handing it to Teng Shu, who took it and glanced at it.

Then he discovered that four years ago, the League was already promoting the idea of ​​welfare homes independently solving the employment problem for Pokémon. This was an official League document. Tengshu remembered that he had indeed seen it when he first opened his welfare home, but because there was so much to see, he skipped around while reading it.

Teng Shu coughed a little awkwardly, then looked at it carefully.

The description does mention that it can introduce jobs to Pokémon, allowing them to become independent and self-reliant, thus freeing them from dependence on humans. This is acceptable.

"If that's the case, then that's fine." Teng Shu was quite satisfied. He felt that situations like Grimer's were actually rather complicated and troublesome, especially considering Grimer himself...

Teng Shu turned his head and then paused for a moment because he saw two stinky muds.

"Huh?" Teng Shu looked at the two stinky muds, somewhat bewildered. Why were there two stinky muds? ​​What was going on?

However, the other Grimer wriggled twice and then immediately transformed into Ditto. Seeing Ditto, Tengshu knew what was going on, but what was the deal with this Ditto?

"Stinky Mud, do you want to go to work? You can earn money and eat lots of delicious food." Teng Shu chuckled and patted Stinky Mud's head. It was sticky and felt terrible, just like rotten mud.

Stinky Mud looked at the vine tree, tilting its head. It didn't understand what making money meant, but it understood that there was a lot of delicious food. So Stinky Mud nodded frantically, scattering mud everywhere.

So Tengshu took Grimer to get his work permit and other documents processed, and then handed them over to the Pokémon Guild of the Pokémon League. These guilds are responsible for arranging the work and living conditions of these Pokémon.

Stinky walked away in a daze. Tengshu watched Stinky's figure, feeling alright. After all, Stinky was really not very noticeable; many times, Tengshu couldn't even remember that Stinky existed.

However, because of the stinky mud, the orphanage's sewers are very clean.

You have gained 2412 Happiness Points.

A happiness index popped up, and Teng Shu was a little surprised. He didn't expect it to be so high. So, is this considered acceptable?

Chapter 576 Did you rear-end me just because I'm cheap?

"In that case, we've found another way out for these little guys, but there aren't many options," Teng Shu said, opening his car door as he complained.

While the Grimer issue has been resolved, this doesn't mean that this method works for every Pokémon.

Strictly speaking, firstly, the Pokémon need to accept the job, and then they need to be able to accept the job arrangements and meet the working conditions. This step alone is enough to eliminate most Pokémon.

Even Tengshu himself doesn't like working, let alone these Pokémon who have no concept of work.

So while this path is a way out, it's not suitable for all Pokémon.

Teng Shu thought about it for a while, and it seemed that there were no Pokémon in the orphanage that were suitable for adoption. After all, finding a job was still a difficult thing for Pokémon.

However, in the future, when there are more Pokémon, this might be a viable option. At that time, Pokémon that want to continue living in the human world could try this approach.

Just as Teng Shu was about to start the car, he saw J.J. S.A., who also noticed him and quickly walked over. Seeing this, Teng Shu knew that she probably had something to say to him, so he didn't start the car but instead rolled down the window.

"Do you still believe in Shinzai?" Officer Jenny's words made Tengshu pause. Shinzai? Of course he remembered. Didn't this guy go insane? How come he came out again? But that shouldn't be the case. The Nightmare Talisman has a long duration of effect. For a demon like Shinzai, the Nightmare Talisman should keep haunting him. After all, there must be a lot of Pokémon ghosts around Shinzai who wish him dead.

"He committed suicide." Officer Jenny whispered to Teng Shu. Teng Shu was genuinely surprised when he heard this. He actually committed suicide?

This is really unexpected.

But thinking about it carefully, it doesn't seem strange. After all, Shinji is tormented by that nightmare every day. What's the point of living like that for Shinji? Sometimes, death is a relief for such scum.

After Junsa finished speaking, she didn't say anything more. However, there were some things that Tengshu didn't know. For example, after learning that her son had died, Shinji's mother was heartbroken and wanted to find out who had exposed the matter and then sue him.

She wanted to sue Tengshu for causing her son's death. Her son was so well-behaved; if Tengshu hadn't exposed him, he wouldn't have died. And those lowly Pokémon, they just died.

However, because it was so incredibly powerful, it was driven away.

Driving back to his orphanage, Teng Shu heard laughter as soon as he parked the car. This puzzled him, so he went over to take a look and saw that the person laughing was Xiao Xia, and there was an acquaintance squatting next to her.

It’s Xiaozhi.

"Ash? Are you here to volunteer?" Tengshu was a little surprised. He wasn't surprised to see Ash, since Ash had volunteered before. What surprised him was that Ash usually came early in the morning, and there were only a few months left before Ash embarked on his journey. Ash should still be busy preparing in Pallet Town.

"Brother Tengshu!" Xiaozhi waved happily to Tengshu, and then Tengshu saw Xiaozhi's face, which could only be described as...

It's a bit funny.

"What's wrong with you?" Teng Shu was a little amused and exasperated, but looking at Xiao Zhi and Xiao Xia, Teng Shu's expression was also somewhat subtle. Could it be that he had changed the plot of this world?

After all, Ash and Misty had already met beforehand.

"Hehe, I just came to Changqing City with my mom to visit relatives, and their Smeargle..." Xiao Zhi laughed happily, then excitedly told Teng Shu about the Pokémon he saw today. Seeing Xiao Zhi like this, Teng Shu also wanted to laugh a little.

But since Ash's mom is here too, then...

"Oh, Mr. Fujiki, it's been a long time~" A gentle voice rang out. Fujiki turned his head and saw Ash's mother, Hanako.

Although it's not the first time I've complained, I still want to. Hanako? What kind of weird name is that?

"Hanako, it's been a long time." Tengshu smiled and shook hands with Hanako. He actually had a pretty good relationship with Hanako. After all, Hanako was a very gentle and refined woman, and she also had a certificate as an architect. So Tengshu would sometimes get some help from Hanako in architectural design, which at least made Tengshu's orphanage more reasonable.

Beside Hanako was a little girl who looked at Tengshu curiously, tugging at Hanako's clothes, looking timid.

"Tengshu, this is my friend's daughter." Hanako introduced her to Tengshu, who nodded in return but didn't say much, just a polite greeting. After all, he was only familiar with Hanako and Satoshi; he didn't really know much about the others.

"Hanako, speaking of which, Ash is about to embark on his journey, right? What Pokémon are you planning to let him get?" It was a rare opportunity to see Hanako, so Tengshu chatted with her for a few moments with a smile.

However, the only thing you can talk about with Hanako is her son, Ash. As for Hanako's husband, there's really no way to talk about him. After all, Ash's father is a mysterious figure who is often away from home. Fujiki doesn't even know what he does for a living. Besides, men and women need to be mindful of boundaries, and Fujiki has no intention of becoming a bastard.

"Let Ash ask Professor Oak about that later~ As long as Ash likes it, that's fine." Hanako was quite casual, and Tengshu nodded as well.

During the time when a new Pokémon embarks on its journey, there are often various news reports, experts who come out to teach how to get their first starter Pokémon, and parents who very forcefully make decisions for their children. The excitement is no less than that of the annual college entrance examination.

"Director Tengshu, thank you so much for taking care of Ash these past few days. This is just a small token of my appreciation." Hanako also presented a gift. She had come mainly to thank Tengshu, as her son Ash often troubled him. Although he claimed to be a volunteer, Hanako, knowing Ash's personality well, knew that Ash often struggled with Pokémon-related issues...

It's actually quite annoying.

Although it's not nice to say that about her son, Hanako genuinely finds Satoshi annoying these days.

It's like an enhanced and thickened version of "100,000 Whys," with all sorts of questions and inquiries every day, and he's been asking about Pokémon like Charmander and Bulbasaur countless times.

When Hanako first heard it, she smiled and encouraged Satoshi, praised him, and then talked with her son about the future.

On the tenth time she listened to it, Hanako encouraged and praised Satoshi, and then told her son to watch the videos himself so he could decide which path to take in the future.

Hanako smiled as she listened to it for the hundredth time.

On the 300th time I listened to it, the mother's love was like a mountain collapsing and the earth splitting, like a mudslide.

Tengshu didn't think there was anything wrong with Xiaozhi. He thought Xiaozhi was a very diligent child in the orphanage. However, after hearing what Hanako said, Tengshu couldn't refuse, so he accepted the offer.

Ash and Hanako stayed at the orphanage for a while before leaving. Fujiki didn't seem to care too much, since sometimes maintaining relationships is just like that.

However, when the little girl left, she curiously touched the cat, but the cat didn't react at all.

Meow Meow's situation is quite troublesome and cannot be resolved for the time being. Teng Shu originally thought that he might be able to solve it through this lottery, but unexpectedly, he drew a time acceleration and deceleration item. Although it looks very powerful, it is of no use to Meow Meow.

"The Magic Conch, the Magic Conch, how can Meow Meow's body return to normal?" Teng Shu asked, taking out the Magic Conch, but the Magic Conch remained unresponsive.

Teng Shu sighed. The probability of this happening was too low. If the probability were higher, it would be easier to deal with, but the problem was that the probability was so low that Teng Shu still hadn't gotten an answer.

"Director Teng Shu." Just as Teng Shu was about to go back to handle some official business at his orphanage, Tianxi came over happily.

"What's wrong, Diancie?" Teng Shu glanced at Diancie, then looked at her with a hint of surprise.

Because today, Tianxi is wearing a unique outfit.

First of all, Diancie is a very unique Pokémon. Her physique is quite good, but her clothes need to be custom-made. However, Diancie is now wearing a very appropriate outfit, which looks like a formal dress, but it is more suitable and more formal.

"Tianxi...are you going out?" Teng Shu looked at Tianxi and guessed something, and Tianxi nodded seriously.

She has received her assigned legal task, which is to go to court to represent her clients in their cases. This is also Tianxi's first case.

Teng Shu had seen Tianxi busy dealing with this matter before, but he didn't expect that a lawsuit would be filed so soon, which surprised Teng Shu.

"Good luck." Teng Shu smiled, but then he realized that he seemed to need to take Diancie to the courthouse. After all, the courthouse was quite far away. If Diancie walked there by herself, Teng Shu felt that she would probably attract a lot of criminals, which would be very troublesome.

After all, although Tengshu now has this protective item and is not too worried about Diancie being targeted, the Alliance will definitely be curious about this issue since those criminals have been caught, so Tengshu thinks it's better to be cautious.

"Let's go, I'll take you there." Teng Shu stretched, realizing he'd have to work on the reports later that afternoon.

Just as Tengshu was about to take Diancie there, he saw that the Abandoned Monkey had also arrived. It stared at Tengshu expectantly, and when Tengshu remembered how the Abandoned Monkey had acted last time it went out, he immediately knew what the Abandoned Monkey wanted to do.

Just as Tengshu was about to let the Abandoned Monkey catch up, he noticed that the Abandoned Monkey's head had some green on it.

I'm green, I'm green, bro! Come log in and play this brand new version you've never played before...

A line of dialogue silently floated through Teng Shu's mind.

Teng Shu leaned closer to take a look and then realized that the green on it was not something strange, but rather the stem of a flower.

With a whooshing sound, Teng Shu glanced at the flower petal stem.

Flower Leaf Stem was perched on the head of the Abandoned Monkey, and had even made a little nest-like shape. Teng Shu looked at the fur on the Abandoned Monkey's head and remained silent for a moment.

Then he patted the head of the abandoned monkey.

The abandoned monkey tilted its head and looked at the vine tree, its emotions perfectly normal.

"I almost forgot, you have a very good personality." Teng Shu was a little amused and exasperated. This Abandoned Monkey was completely unlike the personality a Pokémon should have. More often than not, it was like a monk who had seen through the world. Teng Shu felt that he wouldn't be surprised if Abandoned Monkey said something like "entering the wisdom eye".

"Let's go, I'll take you with me." Teng Shu smiled and patted the head of the Abandoned Monkey. This little guy definitely wanted to come along, after all, Teng Shu had previously discovered that the Abandoned Monkey seemed very curious about the outside world.

So, the small truck carrying Tengshu also carried the abandoned monkey flower Yedi and Tianxi.

Teng Shu's driving skills are very steady. He has always been the experienced type of driver. When it comes to driving, he always tries to be as steady as possible, especially since he is carrying the Abandoned Monkey and the others. Therefore, Teng Shu's speed is kept at a normal level.

Then the vine tree was rear-ended.
