I run an orphanage in the Pokémon world.

In the end, no Pokémon were willing to come out, which Tengshu thought was probably the Pokémon's way of expressing their unwillingness to move.

"Then I'll go over and communicate with them." Teng Shu also breathed a sigh of relief. As long as there was no battle, everyone could get through this difficult natural disaster weather.

Charizard followed Tengshu and then came to a short distance from Nidoking. Tengshu then saw the Pokémon.

Some Pokémon that looked very tired and in poor health followed Nidoking shakily. The young and strong Pokémon surrounded the children and the old Pokémon, protecting them from the wind and snow.

The number wasn't very large; Tengshu roughly estimated it to be around three hundred Pokémon.

Nidoking watched Tengshu warily, but after sensing the Viridian Forest aura emanating from Tengshu, he relaxed considerably, though he still kept a watchful eye on Charizard.

“King Nido, you can’t go into that room in front, but there are some areas in my orphanage where you can rest. Would you like to come?” Teng Shu asked loudly. He had to speak loudly because the wind and snow were so strong that no one could hear him if he didn’t.

King Nido nodded.

Looking at the fire-breathing dragons in front of it, it knew that it was impossible for just a few of them to defeat these guys; it would only result in mutual destruction. Since the vine tree could provide a relatively compromise method, it was naturally the best option.

As a result, the orphanage of the vine tree gained a whole bunch of Pokémon.

Teng Shu was busy distributing medicines and sending them to the infirmary, then settling the wild Pokémon that had come for help. He also had to go check on the Matchbox outside. By the time he finished, it was already past midnight.

"So tired..." Teng Shu stretched wearily, then twisted his neck and turned his head to look.

A group of Pokémon were sleeping in the dimly lit infirmary. They had all taken their medicine and were resting there. The healthy Pokémon, Vine, were not allowed to enter, as there was a possibility of cross-infection.

"Hoo..." With a low breathing sound, Teng Shu turned his head and saw Locke sleeping soundly in his chair, holding a bag containing fever reducers.

Teng Shu was both amused and exasperated, but he felt very tired. The reason he was forcing himself not to sleep was because he felt that his own bed was more comfortable to sleep in.

After draping a blanket over Locke, Teng Shu tightened his collar and stood by the window, glancing outside.

The snow kept falling, the sky was dark, and the temperature dropped even lower.

"What kind of weather is this..." Teng Shu said helplessly. In such terrible weather, the wild Pokémon around him were okay, but the other wild Pokémon who didn't know the situation probably didn't know how they would survive.

Natural disasters are always so cruel and merciless.

Yawning, Teng Shu carefully returned to his room.

The entire building of the welfare home is now filled with all kinds of Pokémon, and some bird Pokémon are even almost standing on the ceiling.

Even so, it was still not enough to accommodate them all, so a large group of Pokémon were lying haphazardly on the floor.

Although there was no carpet on the floor, it wasn't too cold because of the air conditioning; in fact, it was relatively warm.

As Tengshu walked along, he had to be careful not to step on these little guys.

Back in his room, Teng Shu opened the door and saw Tong Ou Xiong dressed as Kakashi, sleeping against the wardrobe.

Next to it were a fiery monkey and a baby dragon, both fast asleep.

Dong Shi Miao quietly curled up in the corner of the bed, fast asleep.

The raven noticed the vine's arrival, opened its eyes, and its pupils gleamed coldly in the night.

The raven took flight gently and landed silently on the vine's shoulder, nuzzling its cheek affectionately.

Teng Shu chuckled and ruffled the Dark Raven's head before yawning.

He was so tired that he didn't bother with his usual bedtime routine of washing up. He lay on the bed with his shoes on, and just as he was thinking of getting up to wash his feet, he fell asleep.

After Tengshu fell asleep, an invisible superpower gently removed his shoes and socks, and even covered him with a blanket.

However, Teng Shu knew nothing; he was too sleepy.

Chapter 109 Brief Natural Disaster

And it was also in the dead of night, in the dark clouds above Changqing City, that a certain ice-blue bird was flapping its wings and fleeing in panic, while behind it, an enraged silver-white figure was chasing and beating it.

When Teng Shu opened his eyes in bed the next morning, he subconsciously raised his hand to shield his eyes.

"The sunlight is so bright today..." Teng Shu yawned, then paused.

"Huh? Sunshine?" Teng Shu looked up in surprise. The sun was shining brightly outside the window, and the blizzard had disappeared!

Teng Shu stared blankly, then suddenly stood up, pushed open the window, and a cold wind blew in. But compared to yesterday's terrible weather, today's weather could be described as warm!

"What's going on?" Teng Shu was a little surprised. When he went to sleep last night, it was still snowing heavily, but when he woke up, the snow was gone, the dark clouds were gone, and the weather had cleared up.

At that moment, Teng Shu felt like he was being pranked.

"Is this too hasty? Or have I slept for several days?" Teng Shu took out his phone and looked at it in confusion. The time was fine, but what was wrong with the weather?

[Changqing Meteorological Bureau Announcement]

The severe convective weather in the city dissipated at 4:23 AM today, but the snow has not completely melted. Residents are advised to exercise caution when traveling.

Looking at the notification on his phone, Teng Shu finally accepted the fact that the natural disaster had ended abruptly.

"What kind of weather is this... but it's alright this way too." Teng Shu breathed a sigh of relief, feeling quite fortunate.

After all, Teng Shu knew perfectly well just how terrible the extreme weather had been yesterday.

Although a large number of wild Pokémon survived thanks to the help of the Vine Tree, many others showed signs of catching a cold or fever. Fortunately, the Vine Tree administered medication in time, but even in such cases, medication is not a panacea.

If a natural disaster lasts a long time, something bad will happen sooner or later.

Now that the natural disaster is over, that's the best thing. Although the disaster only lasted for a day, Tengshu still felt something was off. However, considering that extreme weather events usually don't last long, Tengshu felt relieved.

"Oh, right..." Teng Shu thought of the little guys outside. Did they know?

Tengshu hurriedly pushed open the door, and as soon as he did, he saw a small group of Pokémon lined up obediently and walking quietly out. Tengshu paused for a moment, then smiled and looked after them.

When the natural disaster was over, the wild Pokémon were the first to notice. They called their children, took the elderly Pokémon with them, and quietly left the orphanage.

However, when Teng Shu arrived at the entrance of the welfare home, he saw piles of timber, as well as a large amount of tree fruits, vegetables and other supplies.

Charizard and Nidoking were silently directing the Pokémon to evacuate in an orderly manner, with Murkrow and Ursaring following alongside them.

"Good morning," Teng Shu said with a smile, looking at Charizard and Nidoking.

Charizard looked at the vine, then curled its tail, and Charmander appeared beside it. Then Charizard folded its wings and lowered its head towards the vine.

The little dragon did the exact same thing—even though it didn't have wings to fold.

"Roar!" Charizard roared, followed by the cries of countless Pokémon from all directions. The Pokémon that were carrying timber to the vine tree also let out joyful cries. The vine tree sensed the emotions of these Pokémon and felt a little excited.

He simply provided his orphanage for the little guys to live in and helped these Pokémon build a sanctuary, and it was only for one day. As a result, the gratitude these Pokémon showed him caught Tengshu off guard.

Teng Shu remembered what the alliance had once advertised.

Pokémon are the most grateful and easily satisfied creatures in the world.

Teng Shu thought this statement made a lot of sense.

The wild Pokémon left, taking their families with them, and disappeared back into Viridian Forest and other places, vanishing from the sight of the vines.

All that was left was a large pile of wood and all sorts of strange food. The vine recognized some of them, but there were others that even the vine couldn't identify.

The gentle sunlight shone on the vine tree, and the vine tree couldn't help but stretch. It raised its head and looked at the azure sky above, and its mood became much more relaxed.

"What a beautiful day, Dean." Locke also emerged. He had been helping out, but he was busy providing medicine to the wild Pokémon that hadn't recovered after taking the medication, so that they could recover faster.

“Yeah, this natural disaster… it’s like something is playing a joke on us.” Teng Shu looked at the pieces of wood in front of him and scratched his head.

There was still some snow on the ground that hadn't melted yet. Although it was still a bit chilly, this kind of weather wasn't a problem for wild Pokémon.

Nature will recover to normal as quickly as possible.

"Who knows? I heard that in the neighboring Hoenn region, there was a period when one area experienced torrential rain for half a month, followed by half a month of sunny weather." Locke was quite calm.

Teng Shu glanced at Locke.

Could this be the difference between myself and the native Pokémon people?

For Tengshu, typhoons, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and tsunamis are the greatest natural disasters. If torrential rain continues for half a month without stopping, that's highly abnormal. But for the people of the Pokémon world, all of this seems understandable...

You have completed an achievement: Brief Natural Disaster.

[Brief-lived natural disaster: You survived a day of natural disaster]

You have received the reward: Frozen Feather

Teng Shu paused for a moment. What the heck?

Achievement rewards? There's such a thing as an achievement reward?

Teng Shu had no idea, since his system was practically nonexistent. It didn't issue any tasks, and it was more like a simulation management game.

But what is this Frozen Feather?

[Frozen Feather: A feather that fell from an Articuno that had meant well but ended up causing trouble, after being chased and beaten by Lugia. It has the ability to compress the energy of continuous torrential rain into a short-lived blizzard. However, because it is separated from Articuno's main body, it now only has the ability to freeze within a small area.]

"Good intentions gone wrong, Articuno got beaten up by Lugia?" Teng Shu felt as if he had discovered some incredible secret.

However, this feather is still very helpful to the vine tree. After all, the biggest headache for the vine tree now is how to preserve these ingredients. With this feather that can keep food fresh, the vine tree can solve this problem.

"Seems pretty good?"

Chapter 110 Two Adopters

"The weather has improved, so in a way, Articuno did do a good thing." Teng Shu glanced at the clear sky above and stretched.

It has to be said that the weather can greatly affect a person's mood. At least Tengshu himself feels quite happy now, and he also roughly knows what's going on with this blizzard.

Judging from the Articuno reward obtained this time, what should have been a torrential rain that lasted for several days was actually caused by Articuno's arrival, which compressed the energy of the torrential rain into a terrifying snowfall.

From a certain perspective, Articuno's move did indeed turn what could have been a prolonged torrential rain disaster into a snowstorm disaster lasting only one day. However, whether a snowstorm or a continuous downpour is easier to endure remains a question.

Of course, Lugia might also be involved, since Lugia beat up Articuno, which caused the Articuno Feather to fall off and become the reward for the Vine Tree achievement.

"Then this thing can be placed here." Teng Shu placed the Frozen Feather in a box in the warehouse. He had just confirmed that the Frozen Feather had a large preservation range, even larger than the warehouse itself, which resulted in a refreshing coolness outside the warehouse.

This also solved the problem of food preservation that had been troubling Tengshu.

After all, as a native Chinese, Teng Shu was quite particular about not wasting food.

However, even after solving the problem of food preservation, there is still one issue that needs to be addressed.

"What should we do with so much wood?" Teng Shu pondered, looking at the mountain of timber before him.

These pieces of wood underwent only some simple processing and then became a refuge for the Pokémon. However, this natural disaster only lasted for one day, so now there seems to be too much wood.

After much thought, Teng Shu decided to report the matter to the alliance, otherwise it would be quite interesting if he accidentally broke the law.

Tengshu has no intention of becoming an outlaw of the Pokémon League.

After sending a message to Officer Jenny, Teng Shu went back to prepare breakfast for the day.

"Although the weather has warmed up a bit, it's not particularly hot. It's still quite cold when the snow melts..." Teng Shu glanced at his food storage and then decided what to make for breakfast today.

Lamb rice noodles.

This is a rather unique breakfast. Rice noodles are similar to rice vermicelli, but with a slight difference. Teng Shu once ate mutton rice noodles when he traveled to a place where "there is no flat land for three miles and no sunny weather for three days in a row".

The taste was not bad, the only downside was that the lamb was a bit expensive.

However, eating mutton rice noodles is especially comforting when the weather is cold, giving you a feeling of warmth from the inside out.

After Tengshu finished preparing breakfast, Locke was once again the first to stand at the front. Tengshu looked at Locke with a hint of helplessness.

This guy was so tired yesterday, how come he's so energetic this morning?

"Locke, thank you for your hard work." However, Teng Shu still made Locke a big bowl of mutton rice noodles, with plenty of meat, since Locke had indeed helped him a lot yesterday.

"Dean, you're being too formal. Do you think I, Locke, am that kind of person?" Locke said with a serious expression. Teng Shu paused for a moment. Goodness, he had only been a little enthusiastic, but now it seemed like it was his fault.

“You know, Dean, I’m not that kind of person, so my demands aren’t high. Just give me a raise.” Locke patted Teng Shu on the shoulder, and Teng Shu’s lips twitched.

So they were waiting for me here?

"Okay, no problem, I'll give you a raise of five hundred." Teng Shu said irritably, but Locke's salary was indeed not very high, at least compared to Locke's resume.

"Then I'll thank you, Dean." Locke chuckled as he carried the mutton rice noodles to add condiments.

Then Tengshu prepared breakfast for the other little ones, and then made a separate non-spicy mutton rice noodle dish, which he would have to give to Hunhun E later.

"Meow~" A sweet meow rang out. Teng Shu looked down and saw that it was the cat bosses.

The four cat leaders were staring longingly at Tengshu. Several bowls were placed in front of them, but only the mutton had been eaten; the rice noodles remained untouched.

"Little guys, don't you like rice noodles?" Teng Shu squatted down and rubbed their heads. The cat leaders all nodded.

Tengshu didn't care too much. Not every breakfast is popular, and Tengshu himself was well aware of this. He could understand why the cat bosses didn't like rice noodles.
