I run an orphanage in the Pokémon world.

"They grow that fast?" Teng Shu looked at the three fruit trees in front of him, somewhat surprised.

He remembered that the Dark Raven had only been at his orphanage for two months. Even if the Dark Raven had planted the seed when it arrived, only two months had passed, and it had already grown to the point where it could bear fruit.

This is really outrageous.

The crow cawed happily, and Tengshu looked at it and smiled, encouraging it.

"Little Black, are you interested in planting fruit trees?" Tengshu smiled and patted Little Black's head. The Dark Raven tilted its head and looked at Tengshu, seemingly unsure how to answer. However, Tengshu didn't think much of it. He figured that since the Dark Raven liked planting fruit trees, perhaps he could find something for it to do.

Now, at the welfare home, Akai is busy filming and posting videos every day. He's become a kind of spiritual shareholder of the welfare home, since he donates all the money he earns to it.

The Infernal is busy recovering its bodily functions every day, although so far there has been no effect. The neurological problems of the Infernal are not so easy to cure.

Baby Dragon also trains with Infernape, and then waits for the possibility of its body recovering.

Teng Shu thought it was nice to let these little guys do what they liked.

So Tengshu brought Murkrow to the library, the place donated by Xiaoguang. Tengshu flipped through the books and quickly found a book called "Tree Fruit Cultivation - A Beginner's Guide," which he then handed to Murkrow.

The raven stared blankly at the book in front of it, its small eyes filled with confusion. Good heavens, it only wanted to show off to the vine tree that the fruit it had taken care of had ripened and even survived this natural disaster. It had no other intentions. Why did it suddenly have to start studying?

It's like excitedly running to your parents to show off that the plants you grew have blossomed and borne fruit, and then the next second your smiling father signs you up for an agricultural interest class at an agricultural university.

"Keep it up, Blackie. You might have a talent for planting." Teng Shu patted Black Raven's head with a smile before going off to attend to his official duties.

The raven stood bewildered on the desk, looking at the book in front of it. However, it seemed to remember the words of encouragement that the vine had just given it, and the raven suddenly regained some fighting spirit.

Isn't it just planting fruit trees?

Since the vine tree has said so, it definitely needs to be planted.

Plant it, plant it now, plant it today!

The raven opened the book and slowly flipped through it, then it discovered a fact.

It doesn't understand!

The desperate Zhang Yu was completely unable to understand the meaning of these words.

However, a string of text immediately appeared on the book. The Dark Raven paused for a moment, realizing that it could actually understand it.

"Caw!" The Dark Raven cawed happily, knowing that it was Akai who was helping.

Akai, sitting in the attic, smiled slightly. It hummed an unknown tune softly, then lay down on its soft little bed and patiently translated the text in the book for Dark Raven.

At the same time, a pen floats in mid-air, writing something on a notebook.

Teng Shu had no idea what Akai and Dark Raven were doing. He simply cleaned up the area around the orphanage, restored the environment, and then made lunch and dinner. By the time he had finished cleaning, it was already late at night. Teng Shu quickly washed up and went to sleep.

When Teng Shu woke up the next day, he yawned while lying in bed, rubbed his eyes, and got out of bed.

"Today is the day those two adopters are coming to adopt the pet." Teng Shu looked at the notification on his phone and became much more energetic.

Although it's called adoption, Tengshu isn't particularly excited about it, since each adoption has been pretty much the same.

After quickly making a breakfast and eating a simple meal, Tengshu called over the four cat leaders early in the morning.

“Two potential adopters have come today and want to adopt you,” Teng Shu said gently. The four cat leaders exchanged glances, while the other three became somewhat agitated, although the leader, Scarface, remained calm.

"Don't worry, we won't just adopt you out randomly. By the way, Scar, one of the potential adopters wants to adopt you." Teng Shu comforted the cat leaders and then mentioned it to Scar.

After hearing this, the cat boss paused for a moment, but didn't say anything. Instead, he walked over to Tengshu and rubbed against Tengshu's trouser leg.

Tengshu patted the cat's head. Scar was still very well-behaved and sensible, and very calm. Tengshu thought that if Kojiro had Scar, then maybe Kojiro would also become a little more calm.

While a trainer's personality can influence a Pokémon, in some ways, a Pokémon's personality can also influence its trainer in the opposite direction.

"Caw!" Murkrow flew over and stood to the side, while Infernape and the others also came over, only Krookodile and Kai did not come over.

Teng Shu knew what the little guys wanted to do, so he called for a pause and then went to the infirmary to bring over the rascal crocodile who was reading a book.

When Crocodile was brought over, it was a little confused, but after seeing the Infernape and the others, it curiously chatted with them. Then Crocodile's expression became more serious, and it came to the side of the Infernape and the others.

Although Akai didn't come in person, his phone arrived.

"Meow?" The cat leader looked at Tengshu with some confusion, seemingly not understanding what Tengshu meant.

"They want to give you their blessings and say goodbye. This happens every time a Pokémon is adopted," Teng Shu explained, looking at the little guys behind him as he stood aside.

Actually, there's nothing special about the farewell ceremony. Each Pokémon simply gives a blessing to the Pokémon being adopted, wishing it a smooth adoption, and then bids farewell to the adopted Pokémon.

Or perhaps it's something they came up with themselves.

Teng Shu rubbed his nose.

Although he hadn't spent much time with these cat bosses, Teng Shu still cared a lot about these little guys, and Scarface made him feel very at ease.

However, adoption is the main focus in the welfare home, and this is something that cannot be avoided.

After all, the vines can't keep them forever. Letting these cute little guys follow their trainers who love them to the end of their lives is the best arrangement for them.

"Outside the long pavilion...along the ancient road...fragrant grass stretches to the horizon..." Teng Shu hummed a song softly. He looked at the four cat leaders in front of him and sincerely hoped that these little guys could live a happier and more prosperous life after leaving the orphanage.

Chapter 114 Eternal Night and Cat Boss

"Tengshu!" Before lunchtime, someone came to Tengshu's orphanage. It was Kojiro.

Kojiro waved happily when he saw Fujiki, and Fujiki smiled and greeted Kojiro back, then his gaze fell on the woman behind Kojiro.

This girl must be the one named Yongye. She looks very ordinary, wears glasses, and has a somewhat bookish feel to her. After noticing Tengshu's gaze, she hurriedly bowed.

"You must be Miss Yongye, right?" Tengshu asked, looking at the girl. Kojiro, who was standing next to him, wasn't surprised that Tengshu didn't greet him first. After all, he and Tengshu had a good relationship and there was no need for such formalities.

"Um, I am Yongye..." Yongye nodded shyly. Tengshu raised an eyebrow. It really was this girl in front of him. That was quite a surprise. Tengshu had been wondering what a girl named Yongye would be like. After all, Yongye sounded like a protagonist.

Teng Shu remembered that in some novels he had read before, the protagonist named his faction "Eternal Night," or something like "Eternal Night Monarch" or something like that.

It turns out that the other person was just an ordinary girl, even a little shy.

"Kojiro, Eiya, I am Fujiki, the director of the Care and Welfare Home. It's a pleasure to meet you." Fujiki said gently, then opened the door of the welfare home to welcome the two adoptive parents in.

"Tengshu, I'm really not used to you being so serious all of a sudden." Kojiro smiled and put his arm around Tengshu's shoulder. Tengshu gave Kojiro a helpless look, but still led them in.

Yongye stood behind, curiously watching the two men in front of him. They seemed to know each other.

"Although there are some Pokémon in the orphanage, only Persian and Baby Dragon are currently available for adoption," Teng Shu explained naturally. He had to make it clear, otherwise it would be troublesome if adopters took a fancy to Primeape or the others.

"Are there any more Beast Dragons?" Yongye asked curiously. When she first looked at the Pokémon, she immediately took a liking to Persian and didn't really pay attention to the other Pokémon.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that she was watching it on her phone. After all, the first four were all cat bosses, and the fifth baby dragon had to be scrolled down a bit.

"Yes, but Baby Dragon is currently disabled." Teng Shu said softly. He didn't want to talk about Baby Dragon, after all, Baby Dragon has a very strong sense of self-esteem, and if Baby Dragon heard this, it might feel inferior.

“Actually, Baby Dragon is quite cute,” Kojiro added, and Fujiki glanced at him.

Kojiro did see Baby Dragon when he last came, but Baby Dragon didn't pay much attention to Kojiro. Now, the first person the little guys in the orphanage are most familiar with is Tengshu, and the second is Locke.

As for Miss Qiao Yiyun, she is currently busy dealing with various matters after the natural disaster, so she has not yet reported to the welfare home. However, Teng Shu doesn't care about this, since Qiao Yiyun is only here for a part-time job anyway.

"Alright, all four cat bosses from the orphanage are here." Teng Shu clapped his hands, and then the four cat bosses crawled in from the aisle.

The first one was Scarface, who exuded the most imposing aura, standing tall and proud, looking completely unconcerned.

The second cat was a bit cautious, but still followed Scar closely. The third cat was somewhat wary, while the fourth cat didn't want to come in at all, but after Scar glanced at it, it happily trotted in.

“Miss Yongye, Mr. Kojiro wants to adopt this cat with scars on its body. I’m letting you know in advance,” Tengshu added, worried that Yongye might overthink it.

If Kojiro hadn't said anything, then naturally whoever picked it first would get it. But since Kojiro had already set his sights on it, Fujiki naturally had to keep an eye out for it for him.

"Hmm." Yongye didn't seem to have any objections; she was just looking at the cat bosses in front of her, lost in thought.

Match rate: 78%

Tengshu also saw the compatibility score between Scar and Kojiro. He was quite satisfied with the score; although it wasn't particularly high, it wasn't low either. At least they would pass through his territory without any problems. Now it was up to Kojiro and Scar to communicate.

"Kojiro, even though we're good friends, you'll still have to take the initiative to adopt a Pokémon yourself," Tengshu said, patting Kojiro on the shoulder in encouragement.

Kojiro swallowed hard. He knew very well the personality of the cat boss in front of him: strong, yet with a touch of composure. He was a very intelligent leader, and this deeply touched Kojiro's heart.

But when it came time to actually adopt, Kojiro still felt a little nervous looking at Scar's scrutinizing gaze.

Teng Shu ignored Kojiro and Scar's attempt to bond, and instead looked at Yong Ye, wanting to see how Yong Ye's compatibility score was.

Matching values: 85%, 32%, 41%

Three matching values ​​popped up. Teng Shu scratched his head. It seemed that if the adopter adopted a group of Pokémon of the same kind, then different matching values ​​would appear. That was actually quite good.

"Does Miss Eternal Night have a favorite Pokémon?" Teng Shu asked Eternal Night softly.

He didn't quite understand this girl.

Other adopters can usually make a decision quickly, but Yongye is very hesitant and has just been squatting there watching the cat bosses.

None of the three cat leaders paid any attention to Yongye, and Tengshu's gaze fell on the cat leader who least wanted to come in.

The other party has the highest compatibility score with Eternal Night, at 85%, which is a very high value.

"Dean, which Pokémon do you think is suitable for me?" Yongye asked hesitantly, as she had difficulty making choices.

Two is fine, just rock-paper-scissors, but three makes her very conflicted.

Teng Shu scratched his head and then looked at the cat bosses.

While it's true that most Pokémon like Persian look similar, that's only in games and anime. In reality, even Pokémon of the same type can have some differences.

“I think that one is pretty good.” Teng Shu pointed to the one that was 85 percent complete.

The matching value will not be incorrect.

The higher the system's matching score, the happier and more fulfilling the adoption will be for both the human and the Pokémon.

They are satisfied with each other and there won't be much conflict; they are the type that complement each other.

Yongye looked over curiously and saw the cat boss licking a lychee.

“…” Teng Shu covered his face.

Chapter 115 Separation and the Impact of Natural Disasters

Early Pokémon designs were based on some real-world animals, but as the available animals were exhausted, the designs started to become more unconventional.

The cat leaders in front of us have clearly inherited some of the habits of felines.

For example, he likes to lick lychees.

Fortunately, Yongye didn't think there was anything wrong with it. Instead, he laughed out loud, which made the cat leaders present look at him curiously.

Even the cat that was licking the lychee stopped and stood there with one paw raised, looking at Yongye as if wondering why this strange human was laughing.

However, Cat Boss's action seemed to have triggered some strange switch, making Yongye laugh even more happily, and it took him a long time to stop.

"Can I adopt...it? Dean?" Yongye wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, then looked at Tengshu expectantly.

"Of course, but as always, you need to get Cat Boss's approval." Teng Shu smiled. Although the matching value was high enough that there wouldn't be any major problems, sometimes, you have to admit that fate really does exist.

Although Tengshu hasn't encountered a type with a high matching value yet that he doesn't like.

"Hello, Cat Boss, my name is Yongye. Would you like to come with me?" Yongye walked over confidently, then squatted down in front of the Cat Boss and asked with a smile.

Teng Shu stood behind and watched.

The way Yongye does things is pretty straightforward; she just goes straight for it. But that's good, because it's much better than those romance anime that drag on for hundreds of episodes without ever confessing.

The cat boss tilted its head and looked at Yongye, seemingly lost in thought, before leaning over and licking Yongye's hand.

Teng Shu smiled; it seemed this couple was a good match.

So...

Tengshu looked to the other side, where Kojiro was telling a story to Scarface, gesturing wildly as he spoke. Tengshu's lips twitched. Scarface wasn't a cat, so he couldn't speak human language. It was all Kojiro talking, and for some reason, Kojiro seemed quite enthusiastic about it.

However, seemingly unable to stand Kojiro's nagging, Scar impatiently nudged Kojiro's hand. Kojiro was somewhat taken aback, then chuckled and rubbed Scar's head, but Scar dodged away after only a short while.

"This adoption went very smoothly." Teng Shu looked at Kojiro and Yongye in front of him and smiled.

The two eldest cats have been adopted, leaving two eldest cats still unadopted.

"Kojiro, Eiya, come here, let's get the paperwork done." Tengshu waved with a smile, knowing that adoption was not an easy matter.

You also need to sign your name and leave your contact number and home address for future follow-up visits.

However, Kojiro's situation is a bit special. Tengshu glanced at Kojiro and said that once Kojiro meets the boy destined for him, he will begin his journey around the League.

Fujiki won't have much time to check on Kojiro's condition by then, so it's best to complete these procedures as soon as possible.
