I run an orphanage in the Pokémon world.

Teng Shu frowned slightly. This guy definitely had some problems, but he didn't know exactly what they were.

"You want to adopt a Pokémon?" Tengshu asked directly.

"No, what adoption? I don't need to be adopted at all. I just..." The man's eyes widened instantly, as if he had been insulted.

However, he didn't finish his sentence. The man snorted coldly and stopped talking.

"Never mind, I have nothing to say." The man glanced at Teng Shu with disdain, then turned and left.

Teng Shu took a deep breath.

Damn it, why do I feel like hitting someone?

Although the man didn't use any foul language, his disdainful gaze, his superior air about him, made Teng Shu feel extremely uncomfortable.

"Next time I run into this person, I'll just ignore them." Teng Shu shook his head. These days, there are all sorts of weirdos.

After riding his bike back to the orphanage, Teng Shu moved the ingredients to the warehouse. At the warehouse entrance, Dong Shi Miao was still waiting there. When she saw Teng Shu, she enthusiastically came up and rubbed against his trouser leg.

"Xiao Dong, thank you for your hard work." Teng Shu smiled and petted the cat.

It has to be said that although Dong Shi Miao looks a bit fierce and is quite fat, it actually feels pretty much the same as petting the cats from my previous life. It's just a cat that's been raised a bit better.

"Snoring, snoring," Xiao Dong snored contentedly.

After Tengshu finished moving all the ingredients, Xiaodong was still curled up at the warehouse entrance. Seeing this, Tengshu patted its head again.

Xiao Dong is relatively easy to take care of in the orphanage. Although he has some people-pleasing personality traits, Locke now has time to take Xiao Dong to see a doctor.

After Tengshu said it could heal its injuries, the baby dragon Mingyue regained some vitality, and its tendency towards self-denial and self-destruction disappeared.

Seeing Xiao Dong's affectionate and ingratiating gaze, Teng Shu scratched its chin before leaving the warehouse.

"Judging by the time... it's time to prepare lunch." Teng Shu glanced at his phone, then went to the kitchen to start preparing lunch for the little ones.

"Dean, what's for lunch today?" Locke asked, peeking into the kitchen shortly after arriving. Teng Shu glanced at Locke.

This guy is practically turning the kitchen into his medical clinic.

He's holding a newspaper now, looking like a retired person relaxing and enjoying life.

"Braised pork, stir-fried greens, and cabbage soup." Teng Shu's dishes weren't particularly plentiful, but they were definitely nutritionally balanced.

"Braised pork?" Locke was somewhat expectant. He had noticed that Dean Teng Shu often made dishes that were not found anywhere else, the kind of dishes whose recipes couldn't be found online.

This made Locke very enthusiastic about what to eat every day.

"Indeed, eating delicious food can bring joy to both body and mind. Perhaps I can write a paper about it..." Locke thought to himself, then casually opened the newspaper to take a look.

Teng Shu also noticed a somewhat familiar person in Locke's newspaper.

Seeing this, Teng Shu quickly walked over and took a closer look.

He was not wrong.

It was indeed an acquaintance.

I just saw it.

That annoying, inexplicably arrogant, and utterly baffling man.

"Who is this guy?" Teng Shu's tone was not good; he didn't have a good impression of this man.

"Hmm? Let me see..." Locke flipped through the newspaper and then saw the photo.

"Um... A male body was found in Evergreen Forest yesterday. Officer Jenny's investigation confirmed it was suicide..." Locke's words made Tengshu pause for a moment.

Teng Shu took the newspaper with some disbelief. Locke was a little surprised, but didn't say anything, since he had already read most of the newspaper.

[A man committed suicide in Evergreen Forest; the alliance urges everyone to cherish life]

The title is this, and the photo is of the man Tengshu just met.

Chapter 44 The Ghost with Obsession

Teng Shu was a little confused.

He was certain that he had just seen this man and even spoken to him. Teng Shu still vividly remembered the man's tone and gaze, as it had only happened recently.

It would be too difficult to forget it right now.

However, what Teng Shu couldn't understand was that the other party was already dead.

The body was recovered from the sea and became a giant, but no one has come to claim it to this day.

The league had to check the other party's genetic information to confirm their identity.

“Then what I just did…” Teng Shu fell silent. He handed the newspaper back to Locke and then found a seat.

He just spoke to a dead person?

A perfectly peaceful and heartwarming everyday moment suddenly turns into a horror story.

It makes it impossible for the vines to defend against.

"But thinking about it carefully..." Tengshu thought of the storyline of the Pokémon world. There are ghosts in the Pokémon world. Tengshu remembered seeing the existence of ghosts when he watched the anime before.

It's not a ghost Pokémon, but a real ghost, a special kind of being called a ghost.

Therefore, it is not strange for Tengshu to see the ghost of a dead person; in fact, it is quite normal.

Some Pokémon Pokédex entries also mention that some Pokémon can take human souls to the spirit world.

Therefore, it is evident that there are souls and ghosts in this world, and these ghosts seem to reside in a specific world—the spirit world.

"Dean, what's wrong with you?" Locke looked at Teng Shu, his eyes gleaming with desire.

His intuition as a psychologist told him that his hospital director might have some psychological problems that needed treatment.

"It's nothing, I just remember seeing this person before." Teng Shu waved his hand.

Then, turning his head, Teng Shu saw that Locke had taken out a chair from somewhere and was already sitting next to him; it was a gray chair.

"Dean, do you need psychological counseling?" Locke asked with a smile.

Although it was a question, the tone was very certain, unconsciously creating a sense of conviction in the listener, as if they really needed psychological treatment...

What a ghost!

"No need, really no need." Teng Shu quickly waved his hand. If he really had psychological problems, he would definitely accept treatment, but the problem is that he doesn't.

"Dean, don't shy away from seeking medical help..." Locke said earnestly.

"So you're not planning to eat lunch?" Teng Shu squinted at Locke. This guy was really trying to take advantage of him.

Locke's expression froze, then he silently put away the chair.

"Knowing how to reasonably threaten others, very good, you're definitely not sick." Locke took the chair and left, leaving the newspaper with Tengshu.

Teng Shu looked at the face in the newspaper, paused for a moment, and then couldn't help but call Miss Officer Jenny.

After Tengshu revealed that he had met the person once before, he learned the person's name.

Koichi.

Since the body was unclaimed, the body was cremated and buried in a public cemetery using donations from the charity fund.

"Then why is the other party's ghost watching my orphanage?" Teng Shu was a little confused. Logically speaking, shouldn't ghosts stay in this world because of some kind of obsession?

Tengshu thought of a possibility: Could it be that Koichi abandoned his Pokémon with him, which is why he secretly came to check on it?

Thinking of this, Teng Shu cut out Xingyi's photo. He planned to ask the little ones if anyone recognized him when they ate.

Otherwise, being stared at by a ghost would feel really weird.

Teng Shu focused on making braised pork, and after finishing lunch, he rang the bell.

"Oh! Dinner's ready!" Locke was the first to squeeze in, carrying a large lunchbox.

"...Dr. Locke, do you have any clue about why you're always the first one to arrive at mealtimes?" Teng Shu was speechless; it was the first time he'd ever seen someone so eager to eat.

While it's true that someone who doesn't take initiative in cooking is mentally challenged, Locke's enthusiasm is ridiculously excessive.

"Of course, it's to prove that the food you cook is delicious, Dean," Locke said with a serious expression.

Helpless, Teng Shu filled a large bowl to the brim for Locke. Teng Shu's lips twitched as he looked at the fact that almost half of the meat and rice were missing.

He suddenly felt as if he had hired a foodie instead of a psychologist.

However, this also meant that Tengshu could ask Pikachu for help more often, successfully helping Pikachu's family solve their problem of making a living.

So eating a lot is considered doing a good deed?

Teng Shu shook his head. The little guys had already come in. When Teng Shu was serving them food, he asked them if they had seen Xing Yi, but none of the little guys had.

"Could it be one of those Pokémon that have already been adopted?" Teng Shu scratched his head.

Although his orphanage had only been open for three months, it had already seen some Pokémon adopted.

They adopted a total of twelve Pokémon.

Teng Shu planned to go back and check the information after lunch.

"Wait a minute, I can just ask next time." Teng Shu realized a blind spot.

Although he knew that Koichi was dead, Koichi's soul was still there. Tengshu could ask Koichi's soul, and then he would know why the other soul was watching his orphanage.

However, just thinking about Koichi's arrogant demeanor and haughty gaze made Tengshu inexplicably angry. But considering that the other party was already dead, Tengshu still decided to see why the other party was so persistent in looking at his orphanage.

After the children finished lunch, Teng Shu hurriedly washed the dishes and left the orphanage, but he did not see Xingyi in that spot.

Teng Shu thought it might be because he could only see it once a day, so he planned to check again tomorrow.

When Tengshu returned to the orphanage, he saw Dahei exercising.

It was doing squats, huffing and puffing as it carried two stones, making its ninja outfit billow and bulge.

Little Black squatted on Big Black's head, imitating him in a very serious manner.

However, Xiao Hei was holding up two small stones, which made Teng Shu want to laugh.

Tengshu didn't disturb the two little guys' training. Instead, he planned to go check on Baby Dragon, since it was still taking the new medicine that Tengshu had given it earlier.

Although it has undergone drug testing, the vine still needs to be observed more closely.

When Tengshu found Mingyue, Mingyue was standing on the second floor. Right under Tengshu's nose, Mingyue jumped down from the second floor and crashed headfirst to the ground.

Teng Shu clapped his hands.

It seems that Mingyue is still quite energetic; at least she hasn't given up on herself, which is a good thing.

Chapter 45 Mid-Autumn Festival and Mooncakes

Bagon is a very special Pokémon. They yearn to fly, so at this stage, Bagon will jump down from high places from time to time to practice flying, but of course, they can never actually fly.

Then they will crash headfirst into the ground, forcing their skulls to become even harder.

So when he saw Baby Dragon jump off the building, Teng Shu remained very calm.

This is like seeing a child eating; it's not surprising at all.

“However…” Looking at the small circular crater that the baby dragon had smashed, Teng Shu thought of something.

After he transmigrated, Teng Shu also calculated the time. According to the calculation, it should be around the time of the Mid-Autumn Festival in his previous life.

"Mid-Autumn Festival." Teng Shu paused for a moment, watching Ming Yue hop back on one leg, huffing and puffing, to continue honing her flying skills.

Speaking of the Mid-Autumn Festival, it's a time for everyone to gather together and eat mooncakes. Teng Shu slapped his palm and thought, "I've made up my mind, I might as well eat mooncakes tonight."

Thinking of mooncakes, Teng Shu hurriedly went back to the kitchen. He needed to check if he had bought enough ingredients.

Mooncakes are a very special food, and making them can be a little troublesome, at least when it comes to making them at home.

"But I don't have much experience making mooncakes." Teng Shu was a little worried. Unlike ordinary home-cooked dishes, which Teng Shu often makes at home when he buys groceries, mooncakes, which he eats only once a year, are usually bought ready-made from stores.

Moreover, there are many varieties. In the past, there were only some basic fruit mooncakes, five-nut mooncakes, red bean paste mooncakes, and other common types of mooncakes.

However, with the development of the times, some very exotic mooncakes have also emerged, such as snail rice noodle mooncakes, stinky tofu mooncakes, and durian mooncakes, each emphasizing the unique characteristics of its respective region.

"So what kind of mooncake should I make in the world of Pokémon?" Teng Shu pondered, then his gaze fell on a large pile of tree fruits in the ingredient cabinet.

Berries, rare treasures in the Pokémon world, are the Pokémon world's favorite ingredient. They taste great, are very sweet and delicious, and have a very rich texture.

Of course, there are some bitter and spicy tree fruits and vines that the tree doesn't really like, but the sweet and sour ones taste very good. The tree itself often eats a few from time to time. Moreover, tree fruits taste similar to fruit and can also supplement nutrition, making them excellent ingredients.
