I run an orphanage in the Pokémon world.

Little Bao has already used his Fist of Wrath twenty times and is still using it, but there is still no sign of him evolving.

"Go and rest, don't tire yourself out." Teng Shu gently patted the crocodile's head. The crocodile nodded and slowly walked back to its room.

Looking at the figure of the scoundrel, Teng Shu sighed.

He now understands why Pokémon poaching is so serious in the Pokémon world. Some Pokémon are captured and bred, which is considered lucky. Others are captured to test organ compatibility.

Then their organs are cruelly harvested to prolong the lives of other Pokémon, and this kind of business has always existed.

After all, finding a suitable organ donor for a Pokémon is a very difficult thing. Some wealthy people are unwilling to wait or entrust their Pokémon's life to this mechanism, so they choose to hire professional Pokémon hunter teams to do these things.

If a Krookodile has a wealthy trainer who loves it, then wild Krookodile may be hunted down by Pokémon hunters.

"Finally here." Teng Shu saw the vehicles at the end of the road and instantly perked up.

He had been wondering when the newly appointed mayor of Changqing City would arrive, but he didn't expect him to arrive so late.

However, Teng Shu couldn't say anything. The mayor had considerable power and was also a very busy person, which was why Teng Shu was very curious as to why the other party had come.

After all, although Teng Shu's orphanage was a cheat code provided by the system, it was actually no different from other orphanages in appearance. It was just an ordinary orphanage, and it shouldn't have attracted this person's attention.

"Teng Shu!" The first to arrive was not the mayor, but two acquaintances of Teng Shu, Miss Officer Jenny from the nearby Officer Jenny Brigade.

It seems that the security personnel will arrive first, and only after they confirm that everything is alright will the mayor's car arrive.

“The mayor will arrive in an hour, Teng Shu. We need to inspect your welfare home first,” said Miss Officer Jenny, who was in charge. Teng Shu naturally had no objections.

Miss Officer Jenny led a team inside to conduct the inspection, while Teng Shu stood at the door chatting with Miss Officer Jenny beside him.

"Why would the new mayor want to come here?" Teng Shu was a little puzzled. He was just the director of a welfare home. Although it was considered an institution under the Alliance's jurisdiction under the Alliance's policies, it was essentially a remote department with no real power.

It can't do anything except take care of abandoned Pokémon; it has no official authority over anything else.

"I don't know either. That mayor has only been in office for two days, and he specifically asked to come here by name," Miss Officer Jenny said helplessly, squatting next to the wisteria tree.

When the mayor goes out, the most troublesome people are these Officer Jennys, who are responsible for security and are extremely tired.

"That's really strange... I did meet that mayor before." Teng Shu didn't try to hide anything and directly recounted how the mayor had come to inspect the area quite frequently before.

"Maybe he wanted to see if you knew his identity? And if he did, would he try to flatter you?" Miss Officer Jenny said with a smile. Teng Shu's lips twitched. She really dared to say that.

Teng Shu felt that the mayor wouldn't be so bored; otherwise, he would have deliberately revealed his identity to get Teng Shu to flatter him. But since he didn't, he probably wasn't that kind of person. However, Teng Shu couldn't figure out why the mayor would do such a thing.

Although Teng Shu was confused, the mayor still came after a thorough inspection.

The other person was the same as before, the only difference being that their clothes looked more upscale.

"Dean Teng Shu, we meet again." The mayor smiled at Teng Shu, who also smiled and exchanged a few polite words.

Isn't it just about appeasing the boss?

The other party chatted with Teng Shu for a few words before entering the welfare home, taking a walk around, and the accompanying reporter took a few photos. Then the whole process was over.

The mayor and his entourage came in a grand procession and left in a grand procession, leaving Teng Shu completely bewildered. What was the purpose of their visit?

Teng Shu couldn't understand it at all. He felt that the mayor had just come to take a few photos, which left Teng Shu completely baffled.

“Teng Shu, I heard that before this new mayor took office, the top official of another city he was in was removed from office because the welfare home was involved in organ smuggling.” Miss Officer Jenny, who was walking at the back, told Teng Shu, and Teng Shu understood.

They probably came to inspect because they were worried that they might do the same thing.

However, Teng Shu felt it was really unnecessary. He had reported to the League about any Pokémon that came into his orphanage. But the mayor's precautions were not wrong.

Just thinking about getting up early to make breakfast, then having to frantically clean the house, only to end up undergoing a ten-minute inspection, made Teng Shu's scalp tingle.

"I just hope this new mayor can come less often." Teng Shu pinched the bridge of his nose. If he had to come once a month, he would find it a bit annoying. But he figured the mayor was so busy that he probably didn't have much time to stroll around his welfare home.

"Dean, the way you're saying that makes you seem so unwilling to improve," Locke said with a grin. Today, in preparation for the mayor's visit, Locke had even changed into a sharp suit and looked quite energetic.

"What's the point of making progress? I'm just a welfare home director, how can I possibly make progress?" Teng Shu said casually.

Locke smiled.

"That's not necessarily true. This mayor used to be the director of an orphanage. He climbed the ranks and is now the mayor." Locke's words surprised Teng Shu. If it was true, then this mayor was indeed quite inspiring.

Could it be that the other party also has an excellent teacher, and that the mayor once said, "I really want to improve"?

"How is Xiao Dong's illness?" Teng Shu didn't want to dwell on this topic for too long. He was more concerned about whether Xiao Dong's psychological problems had been cured. He had seen Xiao Dong catch a small Rattata again this morning.

Chapter 55 Want to adopt Little Black?

"The situation has improved somewhat. All I need to do is continue taking my medication on time and receive regular psychological counseling," Locke said confidently.

Although Dong Shi Miao Xiao Dong's situation is rather special, a combination of people-pleasing personality and the cat-abandoning effect, it's nothing special to psychologist Locke.

Locke even felt that Xiao Dong's situation was not as bad as that of the other Pokémon, such as Abra, who was socially awkward.

Locke has not seen Casey show up yet, so even if Locke wanted to treat her, there was nothing he could do.

Although Locke knew that Casey was watching the entire orphanage, she was using superpowers to do so.

Even if Locke wanted to monitor in real time, he would still have to send out a psychic Pokémon to keep an eye on the surroundings.

Even if Locke realizes that Casey is observing him, if he tries to communicate with her and Casey doesn't respond, there's nothing Locke can do.

Therefore, Locke felt that the most troublesome thing in the entire orphanage was Casey, and of course, there was another unexploded bomb that had not yet detonated.

"Director, are you sure you can cure Mingyue's disability?" Locke asked Tengshu doubtfully. For Locke, there was another little guy in the orphanage who was also of great concern to him, namely the baby dragon that Tengshu named Mingyue.

"Yes, it's possible, but it will take some time." Teng Shu nodded. He was naturally confident, since he only needed to accumulate enough happiness points to upgrade the medical pod, and then the problem could be solved.

Tengshu also plans to make the medical pod the main upgrade project in his orphanage. After all, Tengshu himself knows that most of the Pokémon that are abandoned in the orphanage are those with physical disabilities.

Although there are many reasons for abandoning Pokémon, most people abandon their Pokémon because they are sick and they don't want to or don't have the money to treat them, or because the Pokémon has some physical or psychological disability.

So he said that most of the Pokémon in the orphanage had one problem or another, except for Xiao Dong and Xiao Hei, who didn't have any particularly obvious problems when they were abandoned. They were abandoned purely because of their appearance and some legends.

“If it’s just a matter of waiting for a while, then it doesn’t matter…” Locke said softly. Looking at Teng Shu’s confident eyes, he felt that what Teng Shu said must be true. Thinking of this, Locke thought of Teng Shu’s medical facility. Could it be that Silver Corporation has become that powerful?

After resolving Locke's problem, Teng Shu sat in his office playing on his phone. When he wasn't working, he would pass the time by watching videos.

However, as Tengshu was browsing, he noticed that there were some very novel videos online. On that website that claimed to never go bad, Tengshu also found a video that was listed as the site's treasure.

"This...this guy looks familiar?" Teng Shu looked at his friend's video with some confusion. He could naturally tell that what was in front of him was just a teddy bear. However, what Teng Shu found strange was why this teddy bear looked a bit like Big Black from his orphanage.

Moreover, Teng Shu immediately recognized this shooting style as the same one that had been popular for a while and still frequently produced viral videos, becoming a perennial favorite in short videos.

"Let me see... this person's account name is..." Just as Teng Shu was about to zoom out to see the poster's name, he suddenly noticed a new message on his computer. He immediately put down his phone and logged out of the video website.

Teng Shu's computer is for work. Although it has some communication software installed, it doesn't have any games installed.

The message was received on Teng Shu's work-related social media app. Teng Shu opened it and saw that it was a message from his superior.

[Dean Tengshu, we have received an application from an adopter who will be coming to your office tomorrow morning to adopt a Murloc.]

Teng Shu was stunned for a moment. He was somewhat surprised when he saw the message in his hand. Although it was very common for Pokémon welfare homes to have adoption applications, this was the first time Teng Shu had ever seen someone want to adopt Xiao Hei, a Murkrow.

In the Pokémon world, legends are a rather superstitious thing, and Murkrow is associated with an ominous legend. As a result, although Murkrow has been in the orphanage for a long time, no one has wanted to adopt it for a long time. Today, Tengshu received the first adoption application for Murkrow.

"Xiao Hei?" Teng Shu hesitated for a moment, but he still planned to check the compatibility between the adopter and Xiao Hei tomorrow before making a decision.

While passing the alliance's review and approval process usually means there are no problems, that's only in most cases.

As the saying goes, it's better to be safe than sorry. Teng Shu was also worried that his negligence might lead to Xiao Hei being adopted by an unsuitable person. In that case, it would be better to let Xiao Hei stay. As the director of the welfare home, Teng Shu had the right to refuse any person's adoption request.

However, according to Tengshu's usual practice, he still needs to ask the Pokémon to be adopted for his opinion first. If the Pokémon does not want to be adopted, then Tengshu will refuse directly.

"Little Black!" Teng Shu called out as he opened the window. Little Black, which had been flying in the sky, quickly landed and skillfully landed on Teng Shu's shoulder. Looking at Little Black, Teng Shu had some other thoughts in his mind.

Tengshu and Kuro have a pretty good relationship, and Kuro was one of the first Pokémon in Tengshu's orphanage. Over time, Tengshu and Kuro have developed a lot of affection for each other.

“Little Black, someone wants to adopt you tomorrow morning. Do you want to…” Teng Shutian asked, but before he could finish, Little Black quickly shook its head, shaking its head very vigorously.

Looking at Xiao Hei's reluctant eyes, Teng Shu felt a moment of confusion, and he roughly understood what Xiao Hei meant.

Tengshu had an idea. He felt that maybe he could take in these Pokémon and let these little guys stay by his side forever, and he would treat them sincerely.

"Little Black, would you like me to take care of you?" Teng Shu asked softly.

Chapter 56 Giving the Little Ones a Home

"Alright, alright, don't rush, one at a time." Teng Shu looked at the little guys in front of him with a mix of amusement and exasperation.

He hadn't expected Xiao Hei to be so excited after he expressed his desire to tame it. Xiao Hei's excitement also attracted other little creatures, the first of which was Casey. Although Casey didn't come out directly, it handed over a piece of paper to express its meaning.

Casey doesn't want to be adopted by anyone else; she just wants to stay with Vine Tree, so she wants to stay at Vine Tree's orphanage.

All the little ones knew what the vine tree's orphanage did, after all, they had welcomed many companions there, but also seen many companions leave.

They knew that the adopted Pokémon were all very happy, but for these little guys in front of them, they preferred to live with the vine tree. With the vine tree, the world felt like home.

Xiao Bao, Xiao Dong, and Da Hei all shared the same idea, which made Teng Shu's place very lively. A group of little guys gathered around Teng Shu, jumping around and trying to get him to finish the procedure as soon as possible.

Although it was somewhat absurd, Teng Shu was still willing to accept these little guys, since no one else wanted to adopt them for the time being, and Xiao Hei didn't want to be adopted.

If that's the case, then it would be better for Tengshu to give them a home.

As the director of the welfare home, it would be very simple for Teng Shusheng to go through this procedure; he could simply submit an application.

However, as a standard procedure, Tengshu also needs to use Poké Balls to capture these little guys in order to register with the League.

So Tengshu needs to buy some Poké Balls and then submit an application to the League.

After submitting the application, these little guys' information will no longer appear in the list of Pokémon available for adoption.

The League would naturally not refuse the idea of ​​Tengshu adopting Pokémon, since having a group of Pokémon from disadvantaged families adopted by Tengshu's orphanage would be a kind of achievement for the League.

However, after the adoption, Tengshu was responsible for the little guys' food, clothing, shelter and transportation, but Tengshu was very confident in this.

Although he planned to tame these little guys and give them a home, Teng Shu did not intend to use them for battles. In his spare time, these little guys lived freely in the orphanage.

As for the other two little ones at the orphanage...

Thinking of Mingyue, Tengshu's expression remained calm. Although Mingyue had not expressed any desire to be adopted by Tengshu, he was not particularly concerned. After all, he knew that Mingyue had a trainer before, and some unpleasant things might have happened between them, as evidenced by the attitude of the League.

After Tengshu reported the trainer information of Mingyue to the League, the League has not taken much action so far. Tengshu thinks that the League has probably discovered some other clues.

Of course, it could also be because the criminal gang that provoked the League hasn't been taken down yet, but in any case, this little guy Mingyue probably has some resistance to the existence of trainers.

This resistance also made Mingyue hesitant to actively adapt to her new life, a fact that Tengshu himself was well aware of.

Therefore, he didn't expect Mingyue to immediately run over and beg him to take it in, which would be too absurd. As for the rascal crocodile, Tengshu felt that the other party probably didn't have that idea.

Thinking about buying Poké Balls, Teng Shu rode his bicycle away from the orphanage. He planned to buy some Poké Balls and then go through the formality of catching these little guys.

As for the Poké Balls needed, Teng Shu planned to buy the most ordinary Poké Balls, because he never intended for these little guys to stay inside the Poké Balls all the time.

Teng Shu treats all the little ones in his orphanage with the same attitude: he allows them to move around freely in the orphanage. Except for mealtimes, bathing times, and sleeping times, Teng Shu generally does not restrict the little ones' activities in any way.

Even when it's time to eat, Tengshu brings their food to the table so that these little guys can sit and eat.

The Poké Balls that need to be purchased can be bought from the general store in Viridian City.

As one of the most common items in the Pokémon world, the Poké Ball is relatively inexpensive, but there is a high chance of failure when using it to catch Pokémon.

Therefore, most people will choose to obtain a starter Pokémon first, and then try to catch other Pokémon.

However, for Teng Shu, he naturally didn't need to do that. He figured that all the little guys in his orphanage could be caught with just one Poké Ball, so he didn't need to buy more Poké Balls. One Poké Ball for one Pokémon was enough.

After Tengshu left, Mingyue emerged from behind the tree. It looked at Tengshu's departing figure with a complicated expression, and then looked at its little companions who were happily gathered together in the distance, with a hint of envy in its eyes.

But then Mingyue looked down at its severed limbs, which instantly made Mingyue's mood sink. It lowered its head and slowly moved back.

Although Little Rage, a Pokémon with a mental imbalance, was taken in by Tengshu, Meizuki always felt that Tengshu might not like a Pokémon as disabled as herself.

Although the dean said he could treat it and help it regain its health, the baby dragon still felt a little inferior, which was a kind of pride in being a proud dragon.

It cannot tolerate its own incompleteness.

"Sigh, the Dean has really given me a headache." Locke, who was standing in the infirmary looking outside, naturally noticed the strange appearance of the baby dragon and couldn't help but shake his head.

The smarter a Pokémon is, the more likely it is to develop psychological problems. Moreover, the smarter the Pokémon, the higher its intelligence, and the more likely it is to develop mental illnesses.

Pokémon like Bellatrix might have a strong sense of self-esteem or some self-destructive tendencies. A disability like a broken leg might not even register on some dull-witted Pokémon; they might just feel that it makes life inconvenient.

However, this would be a very troublesome thing if it were applied to a Pokémon like Bangelion.

Chapter 57 The Lucky Cat Who Slacks Off

Poké Balls are the most common and widespread item in the Pokémon world; they can be found in virtually any place inhabited by humans.

Tengshu easily bought a Poké Ball at a convenience store, and the price was relatively cheap.
