I run an orphanage in the Pokémon world.

"Tengshu, you've worked hard. Would you like a glass of fruit milk?" A Miss Joey adjusted her skirt, sat down next to Tengshu, and handed him a bottle of fruit milk.

"Thank you, Feng." Teng Shu smiled as he accepted the gift, then looked at Qiao Yifeng beside him and said.

Although most of the Miss Joeys look the same, Tengshu found himself surprisingly able to distinguish their identities.

It's like distinguishing between twins to see who is the older brother and who is the younger brother.

"Um... Mr. Teng Shu, are you free tomorrow?" Miss Joey, with her hair in pigtails, asked softly, her face flushed.

Teng Shu was stunned for a moment.

He transmigrated here on his own, arriving in this world with the body of a twenty-six-year-old, but Teng Shu didn't care about it at all.

After all, he doesn't really care about his age.

But in my 26 years of life, I've never been asked out by a girl.

"Yes, is there something wrong?" Teng Shu's expression was calm, and his heart was also calm.

It wasn't that Teng Shu was emotionally oblivious, but rather that he understood Qiao Yifeng's personality.

"Here's the thing, tomorrow afternoon, the renowned medical doctor Qiao Yichen will be giving a lecture on 'Pokémon Anatomy and Introduction to Internal Medicine Surgery'!" Qiao Yifeng's eyes were filled with excitement.

Teng Shu's lips twitched.

Yes, Qiao Yifeng is a bookworm who is obsessed with medicine.

"Um... I think I'll pass. I don't know much about anatomy and surgery." Teng Shu smiled awkwardly.

He had attended a class with Qiao Yifeng before, and the medical doctor's lecture on "Treatment and Treatment of Toxins" left a deep impression on Teng Shu.

After watching the doctor personally poison her and then demonstrate how to detoxify her, Teng Shu decided that it would be better to stay away from such courses in the future.

Otherwise, who knows if he will be chosen as the next test subject?

After all, most of the people taking this class are Nurse Joy, with the occasional medical student who isn't Nurse Joy, and some Pokémon with medical backgrounds.

"Hey? This is a super amazing PhD, he could be the dean of the center!" Qiao Yifeng still wanted to drag Teng Shu along, but Teng Shu refused.

Teng Shu really couldn't spare an afternoon to attend class. Tong Ou Xiong was still in the infirmary and needed to be checked on from time to time. He also needed to be fed or given intravenous nutrition depending on the situation.

After all, the medical pod does not have the function of feeding patients.

Although Qiao Yifeng was somewhat disappointed, she could understand the nature of Teng Shu's work.

Xiao Bao was also brought over at this time.

"Teng Shu, we also checked on Xiao Bao during the treatment, and his physical imbalance hasn't improved much." Miss Joey sighed, a hint of pity in her eyes.

"Yes, I know, Director Ye." Teng Shu nodded.

The aftereffects of the small madman are almost incurable; in any case, the Pokémon Centers at present cannot treat them. If the meningitis had not been left untreated for too long, there would not have been such severe aftereffects.

Even in the world of Pokémon, the brain remains a field that medicine must approach with extreme caution.

After leaving the Pokémon Center with Little Tyrant, Teng Shu rode his bicycle towards the orphanage.

He still needs to prepare lunch.

"For lunch today... Xiao Bao, how about I make you a tree fruit salad?" Teng Shu asked with a smile.

Little Tyrant prefers to eat berries, so Tengshu prepares its meals mainly with berries, supplemented with some Pokémon food for a balanced diet.

The Poké Ball on my waist wobbled.

Teng Shu knew that Xiao Bao meant it.

Just as Tengshu was waiting at a red light, a boy who was also riding a bicycle and carrying a bug net stopped next to Tengshu, his eyes shining as he looked at the Poké Ball on Tengshu's waist.

"Eye contact between trainers! That's the signal for a battle! Let's battle!" the bug-catching boy said excitedly, pulling out a Poké Ball from his waist as he spoke.

"According to Article 12 of the Quartz District Public Security Management Regulations, Pokémon battles are prohibited in the city. Violators will be fined 100 League Coins and sentenced to six hours of community service." A cold voice rang out as Officer Jenny stood expressionlessly in front of them.

The bug-catching boy then sheepishly put away the Poké Ball.

Chapter 9 Lunch at the Orphanage

Seeing the insect-catching boy's embarrassed expression, Teng Shu couldn't help but laugh.

In the Pokémon world, battles are not allowed in cities; you usually have to go to a special battle arena to battle.

This is also to protect the city's infrastructure and the safety of its citizens.

Otherwise, if one Pokémon uses Earthquake here and another uses Surf there, the annual infrastructure maintenance costs would probably exceed the budget, and the insurance companies would be crying in the bathroom.

Therefore, the League has a strict rule that Pokémon battles are not allowed in towns, but there are no such restrictions in the wild.

When Teng Shu returned to the orphanage, he released Xiao Bao to let him rest for a while. Then, Teng Shu hurriedly went to the kitchen to prepare lunch.

"Let me see... Now that Meow Meow and the others have been adopted, all I need to do is prepare lunch for Blackie, Kai, Bao, Dong, and Little Bear." Teng Shu stood in the kitchen, skillfully tying on his apron.

Cooking for Pokémon is quite an art, as different Pokémon have different tastes and even different things they want to eat.

Little Black, Little Tyrant, and Akai are relatively simple to feed; a berry salad paired with Pokémon food is usually enough to fill them up.

However, Xiao Dong is different; he prefers to eat meat, so Teng Shu usually chooses tree berries, along with Pokémon food.

As for the teddy bear, that little guy is a bit more special.

"But the problem of cooking..." Teng Shu looked at the Pokémon food in the cabinet, feeling somewhat conflicted.

When Tengshu first opened this welfare home, he thought about letting the Pokémons try Chinese cuisine, but he soon discovered that not every Pokémon liked Chinese food.

Moreover, the ingredients are also a problem.

As we all know, the Pokémon universe has been gradually developed. In the earliest Pokémon anime, you could see some ordinary animals, but in the later stages, after the universe was fully developed, there were no ordinary animals, only Pokémon.

After Teng Shu transmigrated here, he discovered that while Changqing City did sell some ordinary animals, in this world, these animals were considered "rare treasures".

Pork, chicken, beef, and mutton, which were not expensive in my previous life, have seen their prices skyrocket in this world.

They're the type of person who would feel guilty for days if they ate just one meal.

Therefore, Teng Shu's plan to conquer the world with Chinese cuisine was aborted before it was even halfway through.

"Alright, we've seen two little ones off today, so let's give everyone a little treat." Teng Shu took a plate of tofu out of the refrigerator.

Tengshu plans to make a Mapo Tofu dish to improve the kids' diet.

However, among the ingredients needed to make Mapo Tofu, Tengshu added a type of tree fruit.

The fruit of this tree has a slightly spicy taste, but it's not particularly spicy; it's moderately spicy and has a relatively good flavor.

This is a great seasoning for spicy foods. Adding this tomato fruit will make the flavor more mellow.

It's a very popular type of berry, but eating too much of it can make Pokémon a little lazy and slow down when running.

Therefore, some specific exercises are needed to make up for this loss. However, since only one vine was placed, it's not a big problem.

"However, not having fermented soybean paste is a problem..." Teng Shu looked at his condiment cabinet, somewhat troubled.

These seasonings contain everything except for fermented soybean paste, while Tengshu likes to add a little fermented soybean paste to his Mapo Tofu for flavor.

"Never mind." Teng Shu shook his head and then began to make Mapo Tofu.

The tender white tofu rolled around, gradually spreading its rich aroma. As the vine added the prepared tomato pulp, the spiciness in the air became slightly milder.

Soon, a plate of reddish-white Mapo Tofu, which was still bouncy and jiggling when ladled onto the plate, was ready. Teng Shu couldn't help but lick his lips as he smelled the aroma.

Then Teng Shu finished cooking the remaining food and put it on five plates. He also made himself a simple rice bowl and took the food to the cafeteria, where he rang the bell.

Casey took her portion first, but before she did, she scooped up a spoonful of Mapo Tofu.

Then Little Black flew over, but instead of scooping up Mapo Tofu, it happily stood on the table eating its tree fruit salad and food.

Xiao Bao slowly moved over. Teng Shu glanced at Xiao Bao, and there was another trace of blood on Xiao Bao's hand.

The little guy went to exercise again.

I just don't know if he unleashed his furious punch.

Xiao Bao slowly sat down in the chair and began to eat. Teng Shu casually scooped two spoonfuls of Mapo Tofu for it, as Xiao Bao liked spicy food.

Then Dong Shi Miao came over and happily rubbed against the vine tree. The vine tree smiled and rubbed Dong Shi Miao's chubby head, and also scooped a spoonful of Mapo Tofu for it.

Seeing that the little guy had started eating, Teng Shu also brought lunch for Tong Ou Xiong to the infirmary.

In the medical room, there was only the beeping of the treatment pod; there were no other sounds.

The teddy bear is lying inside.

Teng Shu sat to the side, then pressed a button on the medical pod, which opened automatically, allowing the teddy bear to move around a little.

However, it still has various tubes inserted into its body, but it can still eat without any problems.

"Little guy, do you have an appetite?" Teng Shu asked gently. He had already noticed that the teddy bear's eyelids twitched; the little guy had woken up.

Seemingly hearing the vine's voice, the teddy bear struggled to open its eyes.

However, the bear's face was also covered in festering skin, and its ulcerated wounds covered its eyelids, allowing it to open only a tiny slit.

"Eek..." With an almost inaudible sound, Teng Shu tried to feed the teddy bear a bite of the special lunch he had made.

He made a paste for the teddy bear. There was no other way; the teddy bear was too weak and probably would have great difficulty chewing, so it could only eat paste.

The spoon was brought close to the teddy bear's mouth, and perhaps because it had been hungry for a long time, the teddy bear stuck out its little tongue and licked the paste off the spoon clean.

Teng Shu breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as the teddy bear still has the energy to eat, that's fine.

Tengshu fed him spoonful by spoonful. After feeding him halfway, the teddy bear stopped licking and only made a faint whimpering sound.

Teng Shu then put the spoon away and closed the door to the medical pod.

Let the teddy bear get a good rest.

Erosive skin diseases are time-consuming and expensive to treat, but fortunately, the medical pod can solve this problem.

"Little one, get some rest, you'll recover," Teng Shu said gently, then walked out of the infirmary.

Behind him, the little bear's small eyes, through its bloated skin, were intently watching the vine tree's back.

Chapter 10 Journey to the West Comic

With lunch resolved, the work at the welfare home was temporarily put on hold.

Teng Shu's daily work is relatively fixed.

I get up early to make breakfast, then deal with adopted and newly arrived Pokémon, then make lunch, the afternoon is my personal time, then dinner, watch TV with the little guys, clean the house, and then it's time for bed.

For the past two months, Tengshu has spent almost all of this time in this manner.

This kind of life is very relaxed. Compared to being a corporate slave, Teng Shu prefers this more comfortable life.

"So now..." Teng Shu returned to his office after washing the dishes. He sat in his chair, looked at the papers on the table, and twisted his wrist.

Teng Shu planned to earn some extra money.

After all, the welfare home's current economic conditions are not very good, and there are many places where money is needed. Teng Shu cannot rely on the alliance's assistance indefinitely.

People always have to find their own solutions.

Teng Shu understood the principle that mountains crumble and rivers run away.

Although the alliance will continue to support him as long as it stands, Teng Shu still wants to do something, since with more money, he can do more things.

For example, hiring dedicated staff, or feeding the little ones better.

So Teng Shu returned to his old profession.

"Hmm... I think the previous few chapters are done." Teng Shu looked at the comic book manuscript in his hand and was quite satisfied.

Before he transmigrated, Teng Shu was an illustrator who also drew comics on the side to earn extra money. Fortunately, he was lucky enough to have already made a name for himself before AI painting swept the world.

So even after AI painting emerged, Teng Shu didn't lose his job; he just earned less extra money.

Since starting to run the orphanage, Teng Shu has planned to earn some extra money through comics to maintain the orphanage's normal operation.

Between plagiarizing Japanese manga and creating his own stories, Teng Shu chose a different path.

"Journey to the West" is the name of Teng Shu's comic book.

On the cover, a fiery monkey carrying a golden cudgel is squatting on a mountaintop, looking down at the 100,000 heavenly soldiers below.
