I run an orphanage in the Pokémon world.

Teng Shu watched Kojiro's departing figure thoughtfully. He remembered that when Kojiro first appeared, he didn't have many Pokémon with him. This time, however, he had a Persian. He wondered if this would have any impact on the plot.

The scarred cat was able to become the leader of the cat leaders not because it looked fierce, but because this cat leader was truly ruthless.

Most Pokémon follow the simple principle of the survival of the fittest, a trait inherited from their wild Pokémon days.

Only the strong can become rulers and enjoy the highest level of treatment.

"I hope Ash can beat Scar." Teng Shu stroked his chin. He couldn't help but laugh at the thought of Ash meeting James and facing Scar in the future. But getting beaten up early would be good too, so Ash would start learning how to become a qualified trainer sooner.

They wouldn't go so far as to use an Electric-type Pokémon to fight a Ground-type Pokémon.

Chapter 97 The Thug Crocodile Wants to Learn Sculpture

“This natural environment…” Teng Shu walked around his orphanage. The orphanage had become much more beautiful, giving Teng Shu the feeling of walking in a natural forest park.

Scattered trees have become a forest, and the small pond has become a lake. But what pleases the vine tree the most is that the temperature here has also risen a bit. It just doesn't know how this was done.

[Orphanage Natural Environment Upgrade Lv1: The natural environment in the orphanage is more realistic and better suited to the survival requirements of various Pokémon]

Tengshu chose this place because it's suitable for Pokémon to live in, and now the natural environment in the orphanage is indeed much better. The temperature here is also four degrees higher than outside, so it's not so cold anymore.

[Natural Environment Facilities Upgrade Level 2: A larger and more perfect natural environment. This upgrade requires obtaining the welfare home expansion qualification first.]

[Expansion of the welfare home: Completion of the first-level upgrade requirements for all supporting facilities of the welfare home]

Teng Shu paused for a moment. If that's the case, then it means that if you want to upgrade these infrastructures to level 2, you have to upgrade all the welfare homes' infrastructures to level 1 before you can expand the welfare homes.

Looking at the dazzling array of upgrade options, Teng Shu couldn't help but shake his head. It seemed that obtaining the upgrade qualification would be a very difficult task.

With these upgrades to the natural environment, Murkrow has also flown out. It doesn't seem as cold as before. Even Primarina has returned to the training area with its Bagon, where they are doing basic training.

Teng Shu went to the infirmary to check on the rascal crocodile. The rascal crocodile was reading a book, but this time it wasn't reading "If I Could Live," but a book about sculpture called "Sculpture: Starting with the Simplest Things."

"Hey, Crocodile, do you want to learn sculpture?" Teng Shu looked at Crocodile in front of him, smiled and rubbed its little head, and Crocodile nodded after hearing this.

"Dean, do you perhaps know sculpting?" Locke sat to the side, eating sunflower seeds while looking at his phone, which was showing a video about some psychological disorders.

Teng Shu shook his head. He wasn't Doraemon who knew everything; he simply didn't know how to do a skill like sculpting.

After all, Teng Shu initially learned original art out of interest and hobby, but unexpectedly it became his way of making a living, and he even managed to gain some fame before the arrival of AI.

"Sculpture? What sculpture?" Qiao Yiyun pushed open the door and walked in, hanging her heavy clothes on the hanger while looking curiously at Teng Shu and Locke.

“The rascal crocodile wants to learn sculpture,” Teng Shu explained simply, but he also glanced at Qiao Yiyun, because he really didn’t expect Qiao Yiyun to come at this time.

Qiao Yiyun's gaze also fell on the book in Hunhun Crocodile's hand. She now knew a little about Hunhun Crocodile and knew his specific situation. She had to say that the little guy Hunhun Crocodile was indeed very pitiful. If possible, she would like to help him.

While we can't interfere with the work of the organ matching center, we can help in other areas.

"I took sculpture for two semesters in college, do you want me to give it a try?" Qiao Yiyun walked over, smiling as she squatted down in front of Hunhun Crocodile, who was holding his books and nodded.

Seeing Qiao Yiyun taking Hunhun Crocodile to learn how to make sculptures, Teng Shu breathed a sigh of relief. He had been thinking about whether he should hire a teacher online to teach Hunhun Crocodile, but Qiao Yiyun was quite helpful.

"Miss Joey Yun is really amazing. I took a film appreciation course in college," Locke said with admiration. Teng Shu glanced at Locke. Film appreciation? Goodness, he chose that too.

After all, this class is very simple. You just sit in the classroom and watch a movie with everyone. Some teachers will ask you to write a review, but most teachers won't say anything. And this elective is often the first one to be taken. If your internet speed is bad, you really can't get a spot.

Teng Shu pulled up a chair and sat down, resting his chin on his hands as he watched Qiao Yiyun lead Hunhun E and Niba.

Crocodile was very happy and studied diligently. Teng Shu couldn't understand what Crocodile was trying to do. He could only sense Crocodile's emotions, but not his thoughts. After all, Crocodile was a power of the Tokiwa, not a superpower.

"Dean, what do you plan to do if the crocodile's transplant is unsuccessful?" Locke asked softly, sitting down next to Teng Shu.

Teng Shu paused for a moment after hearing this.

He didn't really want to think about this question, since the answer might be somewhat cruel, and while escaping was shameful, it could also be useful.

However, looking at the Krookodile in front of him, Teng Shu knew that this was likely to become a reality. After all, the probability of a Krookodile being willing to donate its heart by chance and being a match was extremely low. Generally speaking, organ donation is only possible for Pokémon with trainers.

In other words, wild Pokémon are not allowed.

This number is already small enough, not to mention the need for matching. If the matching is unsuccessful, then saying more is useless, and things will remain the same.

"When the time comes..." Teng Shu stopped mid-sentence, his mind already racing with his plan: to create a cemetery within the orphanage to bury Pokémon that had passed away there for various reasons.

Locke glanced at Teng Shu, then silently pulled a chair out from under his desk and placed it next to Teng Shu.

"Dean, you can consult me ​​if you have any psychological problems. It's free." Locke said in a serious tone. Teng Shu was both amused and exasperated by Locke's actions and could only wave him away.

As Teng Shu walked out of the infirmary, he yawned. The fact that Dream hadn't caused any trouble lately had made things a bit easier for him.

Although Mew is a very rare Pokémon, Tengshu didn't have any particular interest in it. To him, Mew was just like the Pokémon he occasionally passed by the orphanage.

It's like the Charmander chasing and biting Bulbasaur right now...

Same...

"Huh?" Tengshu stared blankly at Bulbasaur and Charmander in the woods ahead, the two Pokémon were fighting.

"What's going on?" Teng Shu didn't see the panel, which proved that this wasn't a Pokémon from the orphanage, and that Teng Shu didn't have amnesia.

So it ran in from outside?

Chapter 98 The Storm Is Coming

"Ha!" Bulbasaur looked at the Charmander in front of it and made a warning sound, while Charmander stood there with its mouth open, flames occasionally spitting out from its mouth.

However, as the vine approached, the two Pokémon instantly quieted down. They watched the vine warily, but after sensing the vine's aura, they immediately relaxed.

Charmander even came over and rubbed against Tengshu's trouser leg, while Bulbasaur watched Charmander warily.

This little fire dragon was chasing and biting it just now, it's so annoying!

"You... came in from outside?" Tengshu asked, looking at the Charmander and Bulbasaur in front of him. Bulbasaur and Charmander nodded at the same time and then made some noises, but Tengshu couldn't understand them.

Then Charmander's tail swayed and pointed to a spot. Tengshu looked in that direction out of curiosity and saw a wall. Beside the wall, a Blastoise poked its head out and glanced into the orphanage before retreating back inside.

A moment later, a Squirtle was blasted in by a water cannon and flew in, cursing as it landed on the ground. Then it stood up, still cursing, and dusted itself off.

"?" Teng Shu slowly typed out a question mark.

What the hell?

Why would he see a Blastoise blast Squirtle into the room with a single shot? Are all wild Pokémon this hardcore when it comes to raising their young? This Blastoise's paternal or maternal love is truly earth-shattering.

"Roar!" A roar was heard, and then a Charizard flew in from outside the courtyard wall, landed next to the little Charmander, and looked at the vine tree.

At the same time, a Venusaur also came over. It stretched out its vines, hugged the Bulbasaur to its side, and glared at Charizard with dissatisfaction.

Teng Shu was a little confused. What was going on? Had the three major families come to his place for a meeting?

"You guys... are you coming here to live?" Teng Shu frowned slightly as he looked at the three Pokémon in front of him and asked.

Teng Shu had always known that some wild Pokémon would occasionally sneak into his orphanage to live, since the orphanage had walls and was relatively safe.

However, because the natural environment inside the orphanage wasn't very good before, there weren't many Pokémon living there. Just like that Poliwag, some wild Pokémon would come in, stay overnight, and then leave, and Tengshu never bothered with them.

Since their numbers are small and wild Pokémon living here don't have any concept of territory, they don't bother the little ones in the orphanage, and both sides live in harmony.

But things are different now. The natural environment has improved, trees have become forests, and all kinds of natural environments exist. Although the vine knew it would definitely attract some wild Pokémon, it didn't expect it to happen so quickly.

Moreover, the three families from the Kanto region who came were the top three families.

Charizard nodded, then shook its head. Before Tengshu could speak, Charizard took something and handed it to Tengshu.

Teng Shu took it with some doubt and found that it was a stone, a purplish-black stone, which looked quite nice.

So what is this?

Charizard laughed when it saw that the vine had accepted the stone. It grinned, while Charmander was still baring its teeth at Bulbasaur.

Then Charizard lashed Charmander on the head with its tail, then walked away with Charmander, its face dark, leaving Tengshu stunned.

Why does it seem like these three starter families are all very strict?

At this moment, Venusaur also came over, using its vines to create a...

Fruit basket?

It appeared to be a fruit basket, woven from vines, and filled with various kinds of tree fruits. What surprised the vine tree was that these tree fruits were of very good quality; each one was large and plump, and did not look like wild tree fruits.

"Ah... thank you." Teng Shu put the tree fruit away. He seemed to understand what these things were now. Could it be...?

rent?

Seeing that the vine had accepted the fruit basket, Venusaur was also satisfied and left with Bulbasaur, but it took the opposite route from Charizard. It seems that even Venusaur didn't really want to stay with Charizard.

After Venusaur left, Blastoise arrived with Squirtle. Under Tengshu's watchful eye, Squirtle tilted its head and was kicked by Blastoise. Only then did Squirtle reluctantly pull a pocket watch out of its shell and hand it to Tengshu.

Teng Shu looked at the pocket watch in his hand. The watch was an old-fashioned model and had some water stains on it. He wondered where Squirtle had taken it from.

Blastoise saw that Teng Shu had accepted the pocket watch, so he led Squirtle toward the lake, kicking Squirtle's butt as they walked, otherwise Squirtle wouldn't move, which made Teng Shu want to laugh.

"But what happened?" Teng Shu looked at the outer wall of the orphanage with some doubt. Could it be that these little guys were moved here because the temperature here is higher than outside?

"Looks like I'll have to talk to the little guys when I get back and remind them to be careful not to get into any conflicts with these wild Pokémon." Teng Shu was a bit confused, since wild Pokémon are generally quite intelligent, and their actions can be difficult to predict at times.

For example, a Pokémon professor once discovered that if two Onix found a Diglett, they would play a game similar to tennis, slapping the Diglett back and forth.

Then some hyperactive monkeys will deliberately eat poisonous wild fruits and enjoy the dizzy feeling after being poisoned, which makes the Pokémon professors scratch their heads in exasperation.

It's amazing.

"However, the weather has indeed been quite cold these past few days, and also... and..." Teng Shu paused for a moment.

He was checking the weather forecast for the next few days when he discovered that the Changqing Meteorological Bureau had issued a severe convective weather warning, which could be accompanied by thunderstorms and, due to the drop in temperature, there was also a possibility of snow.

"It's snowing... The temperature is about to drop below zero, no wonder these little guys came in..." Teng Shu scratched his head, but if that's the case, then wouldn't a whole bunch of wild Pokémon come in?

The vine seemed lost in thought.

Believe it or not, it's actually possible.

Wild Pokémon aren't stupid. In such extreme weather, they will gather together to avoid disaster, and even some of their natural enemies will huddle together for warmth instead of fighting.

When it comes to survival, everything else can take a backseat.

Teng Shu looked at the sky, a gray-black sky, and felt the cold wind blowing against his face. He couldn't help but tighten his clothes.

"A storm is coming..."

Chapter 99 Alliance: Feeding Wild Pokémon is Prohibited

A storm was coming, but Teng Shu wasn't too worried, since the orphanage had very comprehensive infrastructure, including drainage.

Moreover, it's the kind of top-notch one that could be directly quoted in a short essay by someone like Lin. However, there are no oil-filled parts from Germany in the sewers of the vine tree. These sewers were all built directly by the system. According to the orphanage's blueprints, this drainage system is so powerful that it's the type that will be fine unless the entire area is flooded.

Therefore, there is no need to install flood prevention facilities for vine trees.

"Oh no!" Teng Shu suddenly realized something, then rushed to the office, nervously turned on the computer, and a series of emails popped up.

"I'm so damn..." Teng Shu took a deep breath, somewhat speechless, but there was nothing he could do, so he could only sit at his desk and look at the emails in front of him.

It was mostly disaster prevention documents and various notices issued by the alliance, which made Teng Shu dizzy. Whenever something like this happened, civil servants were always the busiest. However, Teng Shu was alright, since he was just the director of an orphanage and didn't have many things to deal with.

If it were Officer Jenny or Miss Joey, they'd probably be incredibly busy.

"Drainage and flood control, epidemic prevention, proper resettlement of the Pokémon that broke into the welfare home..." Teng Shu's scalp tingled as he processed these official documents, then he looked at the instructions on them and pinched the bridge of his nose.

"Although my orphanage doesn't need flood prevention or anything, the Alliance will be inspecting it, so I'll still have to get some sandbags and stuff..." Teng Shu sighed. He had thought he could finally rest, but it seemed he wouldn't be able to now.

Although Tengshu's welfare home design drawings had been submitted to the Alliance, the Alliance still needed to inspect them, so Tengshu still had to prepare some sandbags.

"I also need to prepare some windproof materials." Teng Shu hurriedly went out the door. He didn't have those things here and needed to go to the Alliance to get them. However, Teng Shu also planned to get some thick windproof plastic sheeting to cover the gate, which would prevent the orphanage from being drafty.

Teng Shu rode his bicycle toward the Alliance's office.

Whether it was psychological or the weather, Teng Shu felt that this familiar road was somewhat quiet. He used to occasionally see people running and exercising here, but now he couldn't see anything. All those people were gone.

“If the temperature drops…” Teng Shu frowned slightly. The temperature drop wasn’t the problem; the problem was that if the weather was bad, he wouldn’t be able to go out to buy food.

Although such extreme weather problems generally don't last long, anyone who has experienced typhoons in coastal areas can understand what Tengshu means.

However, this is the Pokémon world, so sometimes some really outrageous extreme weather events happen, and they can last for a super long time.

According to records in the Evergreen City Library, the most outrageous extreme weather ever recorded in Evergreen City was a month-long blizzard that nearly buried the city and turned it into Snow Peak City.

"I should prepare some convenient food..." Teng Shu thought for a moment while waiting at the red light, but then he thought of the Pokémon that came to the welfare home, as well as the notice issued by the League about the resettlement of wild Pokémon, and Teng Shu fell silent for a moment.

There might not be enough convenient food, so we need to prepare a lot of Pokémon food, as well as some commonly used first aid medicines. If these Pokémon are in danger in the wild, the League may not necessarily help, but if they are in the Tengshu Welfare Home, then of course they will help.

However, it also has to follow the principles of "Pokémon natural survival protection," which is quite complicated.
