I run an orphanage in the Pokémon world.

Countless innocent young men were captivated by Zoroark, becoming insecure and anxious afterward. Some even tried to contact Zoroark, which made the news.

The result, naturally, was that it could not be found.

Because that girl who blushes for you, gets shy for you, and brings you water and cheers you on from the basketball court is practically a Pokémon...

"I support you teaching her a lesson," Teng Shu said through gritted teeth. Although he had never been teased by Zoroark like that, the thought of Zoroark making others feel lost made Teng Shu feel that Zoroark was still too tight-lipped and needed to loosen up a bit.

"Oh?" Ho-Oh glanced at Tengshu with amusement. Tengshu immediately knew what Ho-Oh was thinking and quickly waved his hand to indicate that he had never been tricked by Zoroark. Ho-Oh pursed his lips, then waved his hand, and Zoroark disappeared.

Teng Shu seemed to hear Zoroark say faintly, "I will come back."

"I can't be bothered with these guys. I've left it to the little boss here." Ho-Oh said with a bored expression. Teng Shu paused for a moment upon hearing this. Little boss? So he meant the Overlord Kangaskhan? That's quite interesting.

霸主袋兽估计会很高兴吧，毕竟它一向都很想要揍索罗亚克，上次索罗亚克就被袋兽给狠狠的揍了一顿，而且这只霸主袋兽，是可以进入超级进化状态的，所以，这也就意味着，袋兽可以发动亲子爱这么一个赖皮招式。

Ho-Oh instantly appeared in the passenger seat next to Teng Shu, then took a lollipop out of its pocket and handed it to Teng Shu.

"Want one?" Ho-Oh said casually. Teng Shu paused for a moment after hearing this, looking at Ho-Oh's outstretched hand, Ho-Oh's nonchalant expression, and the lollipop in the other's hand.

The vine still managed to get its mouth full.

"It tastes good, mango flavor." Teng Shu smiled. This does taste very good, but he wonders where Feng Wang bought it.

"Hmph, of course it's good. I bought it myself at the mall. Human, you should learn to be grateful." Ho-Oh snorted, then took out a lollipop, glanced at it, and put it back. Then he took out another one, opened it, put it in his mouth, and licked it.

Ok.

It tasted really good.

"Where did you buy it?" Teng Shu was a little curious about this question. He planned to buy one for himself to keep on hand. The taste was really good, and Teng Shu personally liked it very much.

"I won't tell you." Phoenix King proudly raised its head. Teng Shu was both amused and exasperated. Phoenix King's personality was really hard to understand. It was a bit of a pity. Oh well, he could just go to the supermarket to take a look later.

Phoenix glanced at Tengshu and, seeing that Tengshu was focused on driving again, snorted and drove off. Tengshu watched Phoenix disappear without giving it much thought; he just assumed that Phoenix might have something to take care of back home.

So Tengshu drove back to his orphanage and started filling out the reports he hadn't done during this time. The majority of these reports were about the Pokémon that had come to retire.

"But speaking of Pokémon for retirement..." Tengshu thought of Electrode and Golem. Although he had already bought Dampness to prevent Electrode from exploding, Tengshu still had some worries sometimes.

So Tengshu decided to go and see Naughty Thunderball and Golem.

With that in mind, Tengshu arrived at the nursing home, or more accurately, the building where the elderly Pokémon lived. As soon as he entered, he saw Mingyue walking hurriedly, with some things floating beside her. Tengshu glanced at them and saw that they were the diapers that Lucky Egg had asked him to buy.

Mingyue also saw Tengshu and revealed a gentle smile.

“Mingyue, this is…” Tengshu looked at the large diaper, his eyes filled with a complex emotion.

Mingyue explained to Tengshu as she walked quickly, and Tengshu understood what she meant.

This is a Pokémon that was brought here to live out its old age. Because it has lost its ability to take care of itself and is incontinent, it has to wear these diapers.

"Flying Kick Guy?" Teng Shu looked at the hurried Mingyue, a hint of melancholy in his eyes.

He followed after him, but this time, Tengshu walked even slower. He deliberately slowed down, and when Tengshu entered the Pokémon's resting room, he saw Hitmonlee. Hitmonlee looked at Tengshu with a hint of relief in its eyes.

"It's nothing, I just came to take a look." Teng Shu looked at the room, which he designed mainly to house these retired Pokémon. Teng Shu knew very well that sometimes, what the elderly need is companionship, and other needs are not so great.

So when Tengshu designed this room, it was very large and could accommodate four Pokémon, so that the Pokémon could chat with each other.

Besides Hitmonlee, there are also Raichu, Machamp, and a Marowak.

Teng Shu smiled and looked around, then asked if there was anything that needed to be added. Seeing that there was nothing, he hurriedly left the room. However, as soon as he left the room, a complicated look appeared in Teng Shu's eyes.

Flying Kick Guy.

Hibari, a Fighting-type Pokémon, is a pure fighting Pokémon that excels in leg-based fighting techniques, forming a stark contrast to Hitmonchan.

However, Hitmonlee has now lost its ability to take care of itself and is even incontinent. This is a huge torment, or even pain, for a Pokémon that once dominated the arena.

Incontinence, the feeling of being incontinent, the embarrassment and humiliation—only those who have experienced it can truly understand.

This is especially evident for Pokémon like Hitmonlee.

"You can't let people grow old in the human world." Teng Shu shook his head. He couldn't do anything about it. After all, whether it's humans or Pokémon, they are all the same. After they get old, their bodies will become weak, and they can't be the same as before.

Tengshu then went to see the other Pokémon that were taking care of others. These Pokémon all showed Tengshu great respect, but this made Tengshu feel a little uneasy.

After watching the last Pokémon, Teng Shu hurriedly returned to his office, rubbed his face, and began to concentrate on writing reports. He needed to archive the information on these retired Pokémon and fill out other forms, which were also things he needed to do.

When Teng Shu finished his work, he found a cup of tea next to him. He picked it up and took a sip. The temperature was just right. Teng Shu was a little curious. Who made this for him?

Turning my head, I saw that Diancie had returned.

"Welcome home, Tianxi. How did the court hearing go today?" Teng Shu looked at Tianxi and greeted her with a smile. Tianxi poured Teng Shu a cup of tea. As she poured the tea, the tea flowed down a diamond in Tianxi's hand. Although the action was a little strange, Teng Shu didn't think anything of it.

Having lived in the Pokémon world for a long time, one encounters all sorts of things, so Tengshu knew very well that this could be considered a peculiar way of brewing tea by Diancie.

Sure enough, it tasted really good when I drank it, and I don't know why.

As for whether it's dirty or not? Teng Shu didn't really have a concept of that. After all, he had drunk the juice from Sweet Bamboo and Sweet Wuni before, and the taste was actually quite good. Teng Shu himself liked it very much.

"Thankfully, we won the case." Tianxi nodded, looking quite pleased. Tengshu breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this; a successful start was certainly a good thing.

"If you need to go to court later, just call Qingfeng." Teng Shu was very satisfied with buying the car today. Tianxi could go out in a car without him having to drive her. It was perfect.

Diancie nodded happily, but looking at Diancie, Teng Shu didn't know what Diancie would become in the future. He could only say that he would do his best to help Diancie grow up smoothly.

Tianxi went back to reading, while Tengshu twisted his neck and went to the kitchen to cook.

But as soon as Tengshu arrived in the kitchen, he saw a familiar face – it was Meng Huan.

Beside Dream, some strange things were floating, which made Tengshu look on in surprise. So, was Dream here to give him trouble again?

"Okay, Dream, what weird ingredients did you bring this time?" Teng Shu was a little amused, but he still went over to take a look. He then discovered that the shapes of these things were, to put it bluntly, very bizarre.

It looked like some kind of worm, or perhaps a bug from a movie I'd seen before. It was disgusting, with no eyes or nose, just wriggling around looking for food. It had a cylindrical shape and a mouth full of densely packed teeth, but nothing else.

The moment Teng Shu saw this thing, he began to wonder what it was.

Is this a Pokémon or something else?

It's probably not a Pokémon; there aren't any Pokémon with such a bizarre appearance.

Even though Pokémon designs have shifted towards a Western aesthetic, most Pokémon are still quite normal and not so bizarre.

"What is this?" Teng Shu couldn't help but ask. He really didn't understand what this thing was or why it looked so strange. But Teng Shu was very curious about this question: could this really be eaten?

Chapter 579 The Eccentric Gourmet - Dream Special Edition (Part 5)

Gillless eel

[Gillless eel (Acanthocephala)] A chordate belonging to the class Hagfish.

[A very unique food, found only in the waters surrounding the Carlos region. Because its appearance is so frightening, there are very few records of it being eaten. However, because it takes three days for new teeth to grow after the gill eel has its teeth removed, during which time the gill eel will work hard to swallow its food for a long time, there are quite a few records of it being used. It is considered a very evil creature by the fishermen of the Carlos region.]

What else would you like to know about gillless eels? Click to learn more...

Teng Shu stared at the encyclopedia for a long time in silence, then picked up the gillless eel next to him and glanced at it. The other creatures looked ferocious, so what kind of genius would know how to use this thing?

This is really bizarre.

Even Teng Shu himself couldn't help but feel a sense of curiosity.

However, Teng Shu couldn't resist clicking on an entry.

The entry for "Why were gillless eels developed for practical uses?"

He was genuinely curious. Of course, Teng Shu himself didn't have this idea, since he felt that no matter how extreme his tastes were, they weren't this extreme. So Teng Shu was simply curious.

According to historical records, in the early days, before the alliance was established, various regions of the world were ruled by regional kingdoms and empires. During that dark period, fishermen who went out to sea to make a living would sometimes catch gillless eels. When someone removed the gillless eel's teeth, intending to use it for cooking, they would see its strange shape and powerful muscle contractions...

[That day, Ah Wei couldn't resist making a mistake. Later, this story spread and became a kind of 'entertainment' for single fishermen during that dark period. However, because doing so was considered extremely sinister, they unanimously claimed that the gillless eel was possessed by a demon, and that the demon had induced them to make a mistake.]

This is also a major reason why gillless eels acquire the devil eel.

Teng Shu took a deep breath. Good heavens! Teng Shu exclaimed, "Good heavens!" These people are really amazing. They can do all this. However, this reminded Teng Shu of an animal from his previous life. It was also similar to the script of the gillless eel, except that the other one was a sheep. That's why in Europe and America, the symbol of the devil is said to be the sheep's head.

"So how do you make this?" Teng Shu was a bit of a headache. There was no information about it online. However, Teng Shu did have an idea. Since this thing has the word "eel" in it, it should be related to eels, right? So how about making an eel rice bowl?

With that in mind, Teng Shu decided to give it a try.

However, killing eels is a skill. A skilled chef can remove the eel meat with just a few cuts, but Tengshu himself obviously hasn't reached that level. After all, strictly speaking, this is actually Tengshu's first time making eel rice. But fortunately, slow and steady wins the race, and Tengshu did a pretty good job.

A large piece of eel meat was taken out. Teng Shu smelled it and the smell wasn't very good, but it didn't matter. It just needed to be marinated in advance, and not for too long, otherwise it would lose the original flavor of the eel.

Next came the grilled eel. Once the eel was grilled, Tengshu took it out, sprinkled it with seasonings, cut off a piece with a knife, and popped it into his mouth to taste it.

After one bite, Teng Shu knew that this thing actually tasted pretty good, at least in Teng Shu's opinion. Moreover, the taste of this thing itself was indeed very unique, with some indescribable flavors, but it was not bad at all. On the contrary, it was quite delicious, which surprised Teng Shu.

"It tastes good. Looks like you have a good appetite." Teng Shu smiled and served Meng Huan a bowl of eel rice, which made Meng Huan's mouth water.

As for the remaining gillless eels, Tengshu didn't waste them. He made them all into grilled eel, followed by a large bowl of eel rice.

"Is this eel rice?" Locke's head immediately popped out from the window. Mew, seeing Locke, instinctively grabbed the bowl and teleported away. It was so fast that Locke couldn't even see what Pokémon it was before it disappeared. However, Locke didn't care much. He was more concerned about the eel rice.

"It's a kind of eel called a gillless eel." Teng Shu shrugged. Such a peculiar creature, it was actually an eel. When Teng Shu first saw it, he thought it was some kind of strange insect, since it looked so much like one. But when he found out it was an eel, Teng Shu still couldn't help but feel a little flustered.

Locke paused for a moment, then shook his head. He had never heard of this strange creature before, but it looked delicious.

So when it was time to eat, everyone ate together, and Tengshu suddenly remembered something.

What about the abandoned monkey?

Tengshu had taken the Abandoned Monkey out with him, and then asked the Abandoned Monkey and Huayeti to come back with Tianxi in the new car. However, he didn't see the Abandoned Monkey when they were eating, which made Tengshu a little worried. So Tengshu quickly left the restaurant, walked around the orphanage, and then saw the Abandoned Monkey.

At this moment, the Abandoned Monkey was sitting under a tree, sleeping with his eyes closed, and in the Abandoned Monkey's arms, Flower Leaf Stem was also fast asleep.

Looking at the two little guys, Teng Shu was both amused and exasperated. He had thought something had happened to the Abandoned Monkey, which had given him quite a fright, but to his surprise, the Abandoned Monkey was fine and was just sleeping there.

"These two little guys... how come they get along so well?" Teng Shu was a little puzzled. He had been curious before. It seemed that Florito was very nice to Abandoned Monkey, and Abandoned Monkey was also very nice to Florito. But the problem was that Abandoned Monkey and Florito had only met a few times. Moreover, given Abandoned Monkey's type, living Pokémon would generally be somewhat resistant to Ghost Pokémon like Abandoned Monkey.

It's not really anything, but rather the living's aversion to the dead. According to the research of Pokémon professors, Ghost Pokémon are not very popular with other types of Pokémon. After all, being with a Ghost Pokémon gives you a feeling of impending death, and this feeling gradually becomes stronger as the time spent together increases.

Not to mention a Pokémon like Flareon, but the current situation is that Flareon and Forsaken do have a very good relationship.

Teng Shu looked at the two little ones and couldn't resist taking out his phone to take several photos. After all, he sometimes needed to use photos when making work reports, and these heartwarming photos were quite nice.

These days, even the director of a welfare home has to work on improving the home's image, which is quite frustrating. Fortunately, there hasn't been anything that requires the welfare home's cooperation lately, otherwise it would be really painful.

Teng Shu had heard Officer Jenny complain that their Officer Jenny team would occasionally organize an activity or study/discussion session, which made the officers shudder and wish they could just die.

They even felt that catching criminals was much simpler than writing reports.

Teng Shu wholeheartedly agreed.

Then Tengshu was about to go back, but as soon as he got to the side, he saw Miaomiao. Miaomiao was lying on the grass, sunbathing, while Mingyue was turning Miaomiao over. Looking at Miaomiao, Tengshu remembered that he seemed to have a treaty with a certain inventor. Thinking of this, Tengshu made a phone call to the inventor to inquire about the progress of the production.

As a result, Tengshu heard the news that it was ready and he could pick it up today.

Teng Shu was somewhat surprised, but he still transferred some money to the other party and asked them to send it over by express delivery. Teng Shu himself was not in the mood to go and pick it up. As a homebody, Teng Shu felt that it was already very difficult for him to go out from time to time, so he couldn't bear to go there again.

"What a pity. If it weren't for the weight, we could have just sent it via Hudi Express." Teng Shu sighed as he looked at the shipping fee.

The delivery methods in the Pokémon world are also somewhat different from those in the previous life.

In the world of Pokémon, Alakazam is the fastest way to send packages. Alakazam's specialty is instant delivery. For example, if you place an order at 1 p.m., it can be delivered to the designated location by 1 p.m., which is amazing. If the item is small, it can be delivered within five minutes.

This is perfect for impatient people who buy packages and desperately want them to arrive in two days.

The reason it can be so fast is because it uses a super-powered delivery method. However, this method is also very expensive. So generally speaking, unless it is something that is particularly urgent, such as serum or something similar, most goods will not be delivered by Hudi Express, unless they are people who are not short of money.

Although Teng Shu isn't short of money right now, the courier service is only one city away from here, so strictly speaking, there's no need for him to pick up Hu Di Express. It should arrive tomorrow anyway.

Having chosen the delivery method, all Tengshu had to do was wait at home for the delivery to arrive. He was quite looking forward to it, since it was still unknown when Meowth would recover. Given Meowth's current condition, if a Pokémon like Meowth were to be sent to the League, the best course of action would probably be euthanasia.

So Tengshu felt that using such a thing would make Meow Meow's life more convenient and make it easier for the Pokémon that take care of it, which was a good thing.

After resolving these matters, Teng Shu returned to his office and resumed drawing comics. On one hand, he needed to submit the manuscript for Journey to the West, and on the other hand, he wanted to help A-Kai think about what sweet human romance was like. However, the topic of romance gave Teng Shu a bit of a headache.

He himself had never been in a relationship, but fortunately he could copy and paste those classic masterpieces from his previous life. So this time, Teng Shu simply wrote the story from "Rascal Does Not Dream of Bunny Girl Senpai," since that story directly put the male protagonist on the throne of the four campus bullies.

Teng Shu was very focused on his drawing. Actually, comics are simpler than novels. After all, you can depict the visuals in comics, but you can't do that in novels.

However, it is actually very troublesome to draw. The storyboard and other elements need to be thought out repeatedly. But fortunately, Teng Shu has read the original work, so what he needs to do now is to make the manga more attractive and outstanding, and to be able to express Mai-senpai's beauty.

"Tsk tsk, the description is so detailed! I didn't realize~" A voice made Tengshu shudder, but fortunately, they weren't drawing on paper anymore, so it was relatively easy for Tengshu to do this now.

Just withdraw it.

Teng Shu turned his head and saw a familiar girl with silver hair. Beside her was a little girl with blond hair, who was looking at Teng Shu curiously.

"Lugia? What brings you here?" Teng Shu was somewhat surprised. The last time he saw Lugia was on the sea. He didn't expect to see Lugia again now. When he saw Lugia, Teng Shu couldn't help but think of the Pokémon he had seen before, that giant Tentacruel, which was like a devil. Just thinking about it now makes Teng Shu feel a chill down his spine.

"I just wanted to come see you since I had nothing else to do, and besides, this little girl is so annoying, she keeps talking about you." Lugia looked at the little girl beside her with disdain. Teng Shu glanced at her; she was also a little girl with golden hair, and she looked quite cute. However, looking at her, a thought flashed through Teng Shu's mind.

This is definitely a legendary Pokémon, since Lugia said so. But since it's a legendary Pokémon, it must recognize me, so it must be...
