I run an orphanage in the Pokémon world.

"Luckily, I can get some of these things reimbursed by the Alliance." The green light came on, and Teng Shu continued riding his bike, quickly arriving at the Alliance's office.

At the alliance's office, Teng Shu applied for supplies and filled out a huge pile of forms, which made him dizzy and overwhelmed. This was even though there weren't many people working there. After all, he was the only welfare home in the entire Changqing City; the other animal husbandry facilities and such were all privately owned.

Therefore, there is no need to fill out forms here at the alliance.

"Dean Tengshu, we will arrange for someone to deliver these items to you later. As for the funds you requested for purchasing wild Pokémon food, we can only approve a portion. Please follow the guidelines during the rescue..." The staff in the office carefully explained to Tengshu, and also attached a list.

Teng Shu nodded and took it.

Is it okay to feed wild Pokémon?

Yes, but you should be careful not to feed them regularly or for extended periods, in order to avoid wild Pokémon developing a dependency.

Although it may seem a bit cold-hearted, there are actually reasons for it.

Previously, some kind-hearted people in the League often fed wild Pokémon near their homes, resulting in an increase in the number of wild Pokémon. They would even attack her house in search of food, forcing her to seek help from the League. That's why the League banned people from regularly feeding wild Pokémon, as it would cause a lot of trouble.

Furthermore, it reduces the survival ability of wild Pokémon in the wild, so there's nothing that can be done about it.

"I understand." Teng Shu took the form and left the office. He still needed to go to the supermarket and the farmers' market to prepare food supplies for the coming period in advance to prevent the embarrassing situation of not having enough to eat.

When Tengshu arrived at the supermarket, he saw a large crowd shopping inside. The shelves were empty of toilet paper and instant noodles, and there was no Pokémon food left. It seemed that quite a few smart people had come out to shop immediately after receiving the news.

"Hello, I have a batch of supplies that I need your help preparing." Teng Shu took out the special approval slip from the Alliance.

Since the quantity to be purchased was large, the alliance issued a special approval; otherwise, it would have been difficult for Teng Shu to obtain the supplies he needed from such a large crowd.

"Okay, please wait a moment." The supermarket staff glanced at the items and began preparing them for Teng Shu. Teng Shu stood quietly to the side. These items were specially approved by the Alliance and funded by the Alliance's finances, so Teng Shu didn't need to pay for them, but he still had to buy them himself.

So Teng Shu went to the supermarket and bought a lot of supplies that might be useful, and then asked the supermarket staff to help deliver them to his welfare home.

"Then we still need to go to the market... but can Pikachu handle it?" Teng Shu thought of Pikachu.

That little guy has a family to support; I don't know if he'll make it through.

Chapter 100 Pikachu: A Catastrophe-Slayer

Wild Pokémon existed before humans appeared and have undergone a long period of change, so most wild Pokémon have mastered some ways to fight against natural disasters.

However, this method is often quite limited, so every year when a large-scale natural disaster occurs, it will lead to a decrease in the number of wild Pokémon populations.

When Tengshu rode his bicycle through the woods, he stopped, rang his bicycle bell a few times, and then came a rustling sound from the woods. Soon after, Pikachu poked its head out.

"Pikachu, the weather is about to change and get colder. Do you think you can make it through?" Tengshu asked Pikachu.

While Pokémon can sense changes in the weather, their ability is relatively limited and inferior to the advance forecasts provided by the Pokémon League.

When Pikachu heard the vine's question, a human-like look of embarrassment appeared on its face.

It knew something, such as the unusual weather lately, and the inherited experience from its ancestors flowing through its body told it that a large-scale natural disaster was about to occur.

Pikachu doesn't know if it can survive this, but it and its lover are working hard to store food, build a warm home, and then withstand this natural disaster.

Thinking of this, Pikachu nodded. It still had the large milk jug given to it by the vine, which was a very nutritious food. Combined with the other food given by the vine, it would definitely be enough.

Seeing this, Teng Shu didn't say anything. Since Pikachu thought it was okay, then it was okay. As long as the temperature drop didn't last too long, he could just come out and check on Pikachu from time to time.

"If you have any problems, you can come find me over there, you know that." Teng Shu smiled and pointed to the location of the orphanage. Pikachu nodded and silently made a mental note of it.

After the vine tree left, Pikachu glanced over there, then thought for a moment, jumped up and lashed its tail at a nearby tree, instantly leaving a lightning bolt pattern.

Then Pikachu darted back into the forest.

Teng Shu had no idea what Pikachu was doing. He had already returned to the orphanage, where a large amount of supplies had been piled up at the entrance. Locke was standing next to him helping to move them, but Miss Joy was not there.

Teng Shu didn't ask where Qiao Yiyun was.

With a natural disaster looming, Qiao Yiyun, who was originally there for a part-time job, naturally had to return to the position where she was most needed.

The saying "After a major disaster comes a major epidemic" still applies to the world of Pokémon.

Injured people and Pokémon all need the League's help, and extreme weather may cause some patients' illnesses to relapse, so Nurse Joy and her friends are destined to be very busy. Under such circumstances, even the Dark Organization dares not come out to cause trouble.

After all, causing trouble at such a crucial juncture would not only make them a prime target for the enraged alliance, but would also cause some members of the organization to withdraw because they could not accept it. Unless it is something they are determined to obtain, most dark organizations will remain silent during this period.

"Dean, you bought quite a lot of things." Locke saw Teng Shu and waved at him.

"Yes, there are quite a lot." Teng Shu had already gotten off the car and was pushing his bicycle.

Those sandbags and such need to be placed at the entrance of the orphanage to prevent possible water from seeping in. Although Teng Shu knew that the orphanage would not be flooded even if nothing was done, the alliance needed an attitude, and what a smart adult should do is to follow the rules and abide by that attitude.

Otherwise, something unpleasant is bound to happen.

Although it wouldn't be a serious problem, the vine tree hated trouble.

"I also purchased some medicine. See if you need to replenish it." Teng Shu took out the purchase list and showed it to Locke. It was full of commonly used medicines.

Although the orphanage has a medical pod, it is clear that one medical pod is far from enough in the face of such a large-scale natural disaster. Therefore, Tengshu will need some other medicines to assist in treatment. Unless there are some special diseases, medicine will be used to treat them first, and the medical pod will be reserved for Pokémon that need help more.

"Hmm...it's pretty comprehensive, but if possible, I think adding a little Pokémon general-purpose blood plasma would be better," Locke said, glancing at the list.

Teng Shu didn't argue after hearing this. He believed that professional matters should be handled by professionals, and he didn't want to be an ignorant outsider.

“Okay.” As for the general-purpose blood plasma that Locke mentioned, Teng Shu was already aware of it.

This stuff is a type of blood plasma used for transfusions to Pokémon. Just as humans have several blood types (ABA, BO), Pokémon also have some blood type differences. General-purpose blood plasma can be used on any Pokémon, making it a very widely applicable type of blood plasma, but it is also relatively more expensive.

However, since Teng Shu has connections within the alliance, he can still apply for some things.

"Is there anything else that's necessary besides this?" Teng Shu asked Locke. Locke shook his head. He only knew about medical matters and was not familiar with non-medical ones.

Teng Shu rubbed his arms and then carried these things to the welfare home's warehouse. The weather was getting colder and colder.

"Dean, after you left, some more wild Pokémon have been brought in one after another," Locke reminded Tengshu.

"Yes, I know." Tengshu said calmly. Possessing the power of Tokiwa, Tengshu could feel many emotions: excitement, tension, fear, unease, and a mixture of various emotions.

After the natural environment of the orphanage was transformed and upgraded, the entire orphanage became more suitable for Pokémon to live in, and the temperature here is now a bit higher than the outside temperature.

Although the difference isn't huge, just a few degrees of change is enough for wild Pokémon to survive.

Therefore, Teng Shu knew very well that there would definitely be many more wild Pokémon in the orphanage before the natural disaster arrived.

After the emergence of humans, some wild Pokémon would seek human help when faced with natural disasters, and of course, they would offer some reward.

Just like...

"Hehe, Dean, you didn't expect there to be so much stuff, did you?" Locke said gloatingly, while Teng Shu stared blankly at the mountain of various items piled up in front of the warehouse.

All the Pokémon that came to the orphanage to escape the natural disaster were given some reward.

Everything is here.

Chapter 101 Possible Crisis

“These little guys…” Teng Shu was both amused and exasperated.

Among the pile of supplies in front of him, the most common items were various kinds of berries, followed by some oddly shaped items whose purpose he didn't know. The most outrageous thing was that he also saw several dirty Poké Balls, including Ultra Balls and Great Balls.

Tengshu even saw an empty healing potion, but the Pokémon probably thought it was pretty and kept it, and now it's become 'rent'.

Alternative rents.

Teng Shu still put these things away, but he had too many things to do and didn't have much time to sort them. So he simply took out the tree fruits and other special ingredients that needed to be preserved first, and put all the other miscellaneous items in a large box. He would check them slowly after the natural disaster was over.

"Director, how many wild Pokémon do you think will come to your place? And how many can your orphanage accommodate?" Locke wiped the sweat from his forehead, then looked at the mountain of stuff in front of him and asked Tengshu.

Teng Shu glanced at Locke. He knew what Locke meant. He seemed to be asking a question, but he was actually asking Teng Shu if he had figured out how to deal with these wild Pokémon.

There is competition and struggle among wild Pokémon, and when it comes to matters of life and death, the wildness that wild Pokémon unleash can surprise many people who think Pokémon are cute little creatures.

The welfare home is only so big and can't accommodate all the wild Pokémon, but the upgraded natural environment of the welfare home is obviously attractive enough to wild Pokémon.

Countless wild Pokémon will flock to the Vine Tree Welfare Home, hoping to survive.

At first, the Pokémon might be able to tolerate it, but once it gets to the point where Pokémon are crowding each other, then wild Pokémon from outside won't be able to get in.

Unless there are Pokémon inside that are willing to give up their spot.

But is it possible?

Giving up the chance to live for yourself and your family, and righteously allowing other unfamiliar Pokémon to survive? Even the most sci-fi movies wouldn't dare to film something like that.

Therefore, once more and more Pokémon squeeze in to survive, the orphanage will undoubtedly become a battlefield, a battlefield for survival.

Teng Shu frowned slightly; solving this problem would be difficult.

After all, the welfare home has limited space. Even if Tengshu opened up other facilities inside the welfare home, it couldn't accommodate all the wild Pokémon. Moreover, in the short time it took to speak, Tengshu had already seen through the window that new Pokémon had crawled in from outside the wall.

Then they would voluntarily come to the warehouse entrance to pay the rent.

While these two Eevee were placing rent here, new Pokémon arrived outside the wall.

A steady stream.

Pokémon are born with the ability to sense changes in the natural environment. Combined with the communication among Pokémon, it is foreseeable that before tomorrow's disaster strikes, a steady stream of Pokémon will squeeze in, trying to survive.

There was no other way; Tengshu's orphanage was located in the suburbs, near Viridian Forest, making it the natural first choice for these Pokémon, especially since...

"Tsk tsk, this is really surprising. You know, according to the usual records, even if Pokémon come to take refuge, they wouldn't feel so comfortable coming in. These Pokémon all have their families with them..." Locke sighed. Locke noticed that the Dean seemed to be particularly trusted by the Pokémon.

Such an ability is truly enviable. In the history of the Alliance, it seems only a handful of people have possessed it, and those individuals all came from the Kanto Alliance and possessed an extremely special power, the name of which is...

Locke looked at Teng Shu with suspicion. Could it be that the Dean also possessed the power of Eternal Life?

That power is destined to set someone on the path to becoming a master trainer!

However, looking at Teng Shu, Locke relaxed again. He knew very well what kind of mentality the dean he was working for had. Moreover, Locke could also see that Teng Shu had no interest in becoming a trainer.

"That's precisely why I can't let them down..." Teng Shu looked at the wild Pokémon in front of him, his emotions becoming even more complicated.

How to ensure that more Pokémon survive is a question.

"Gah!" A furious cry rang out, and Teng Shu looked in the direction of the sound, only to see a strange scene.

Squirtle and Charmander are chasing and biting Bulbasaur, while Bulbasaur is complaining.

These three little guys are really naughty...

However, the vine then paused for a moment.

Yes, three little guys, and most of the Pokémon who came were families, so...

Teng Shu had an idea.

Teng Shu hurriedly walked out, and Locke, though somewhat puzzled, followed him.

He actually intended to persuade Tengshu to stop accepting Pokémon, since as long as he kept accepting them, it would eventually lead to a chaotic battle.

The Pokémon that follow don't care about the orphanage being full; they just want to survive.

Teng Shu arrived at a place that he had never used since it was built.

[Broadcasting Room]

Yes, Tengshu's orphanage does have a public address system. After all, the orphanage is quite large, and without it, it would be very difficult for Tengshu to find someone. However, since the orphanage only has two staff members and a few Pokémon, Tengshu has never used the public address system.

Now is the time to make a difference.

"Cough cough..." Teng Shu coughed, and his voice could be heard from outside.

The Dark Raven tilted its head in confusion. Akai knew what was going on, but it was still sewing clothes, so it didn't pay attention, though it was listening intently.

"To all the Pokémon who have come to the orphanage to escape the natural disaster, I have a suggestion," Teng Shu said softly, expressing his thoughts.

Locke stood aside and listened.

Then some people looked at the vine tree strangely.

He knew about Dean Tengshu's idea: Tengshu wanted to leave behind the frail and sickly elderly and children among these wild Pokémon, and then let them live outside the orphanage to protect themselves from natural disasters.

However, he didn't think much of this approach.

There is competition among wild Pokémon, and doing so requires gaining their complete trust.

"It seems we still need to persuade the dean," Locke sighed.

"To ensure a healthy life for future generations and to avoid conflict, please cooperate." Teng Shu's tone was incredibly gentle, while he mobilized the power of Tokiwa within his body to the greatest extent possible.

Teng Shu himself knew that this was difficult.

but...

"Roar!" Charizard flew out, then slammed Charmander to the ground with its tail before flying away without looking back.
