I run an orphanage in the Pokémon world.

So Tengshu spoke up to stop it.

The endless rage of the Abandoned Monkey vanished the moment it saw the Vine Tree. Without even glancing at Black Flame, who was already terrified and had wet his pants, it happily rushed to the Vine Tree's side and hugged its leg.

Finally, finally, it can embrace the person who loves it and whom it loves without restraint.

This is the person who cares about you, accompanies you, and takes care of you.

It no longer needs to worry about accidentally hurting the person it cares about most.

Teng Shu patted the head of the abandoned monkey, then glanced to the side.

The Tanabata and the Onix remained motionless.

Teng Shu thought of the scene he saw when he was woken up by A Kai and came downstairs.

That enormous figure, those pale gray eyes, and that power that froze everything...

Kyurem?

However, now is not the time to worry about the security of the welfare home.

"Little Tyrant, can you move around normally now?" Teng Shu looked at Tyrant Monkey happily.

The other Pokémon were fine; they hadn't even had a chance to leave before Altaria's attack triggered the orphanage's defense system.

Only the Infernape rushed out, which is why it ended up like this. Tengshu patted the head of the Abandoned Monkey with some heartache.

What happened to this little guy that caused him to evolve?

Teng Shu felt very sorry for him.

Sensing the vine tree's emotions, the abandoned monkey affectionately rubbed against it.

It understood the name of this feeling...

Love.

Chapter 156 Black Flame, Who Will Spend His Life in Prison

"I didn't expect this guy to actually dare to come here." Officer Jenny looked at the unconscious Black Flame in surprise. They hadn't seen him in Changqing City since they issued a warrant for his arrest. They originally thought he had fled to other areas, but they didn't expect him to come back to seek revenge on Teng Shu.

"I didn't expect that either." Teng Shu smiled and shrugged, then casually handed the three Poké Balls to Officer Jenny.

Officer Jenny took it too, and then looked at the battered and bruised Black Flame with a somewhat subtle expression. She could naturally see that Black Flame had many injuries of all kinds, and it was clear that he had been beaten quite badly in private.

But what does this have to do with Officer Jenny? Anyway, she didn't see Teng Shu commit violence in front of her, and even if Teng Shu beat a guy like Hei Yan, who had escaped, half to death, it was still considered self-defense.

"I didn't expect him to join Team Rocket. But that's alright. Blackfire's sentence wasn't originally that heavy, but with the added charges of escaping from prison, attacking League government agencies, and participating in organized crime, he'll be spending the rest of his life in jail." Officer Jenny noticed the "R" on the back of Blackfire's clothes when she handcuffed him.

Teng Shu didn't speak; he was thinking of Boss Sakaki.

However, Giovanni probably doesn't know about this matter. After all, as the leader of Team Rocket, Giovanni doesn't need to be involved in everything. Black Flame, a small fry, is obviously not in this category.

I just wonder what Boss Sakaki will think when he finds out about this.

Officer Jenny left with Black Flame. She came on a motorcycle and took Black Flame with her on her way back. Teng Shu watched Black Flame's departing figure and narrowed his eyes.

The problem with Black Flame has been completely solved, and this guy won't be able to get out of here in the future. Teng Shu knows that the Officer Jennys in Evergreen City have been very annoyed lately, since Black Flame's escape with that thief was a huge slap in the face for the Officer Jennys in Evergreen City.

I heard that the captain of the Junsha Brigade in Changqing City wrote a self-criticism that was tens of thousands of words long.

"This guy is really going to be locked up for life this time." Teng Shu yawned. He had just turned around when the Abandoned Monkey was standing next to him, looking at him happily.

“Little Violent…” Teng Shu looked at the abandoned monkey in front of him with a hint of a smile in his eyes.

The problems that Primal had during its Primeape evolution were completely cured when it evolved into Abandoned. Tengshu didn't know if this was due to the Light of Evolution or the special attributes of Abandoned.

After all, Forsaken is a Fighting/Ghost-type Pokémon, and it already possesses certain characteristics of Ghost Pokémon, such as the ability to become intangible. Therefore, Tengshu suspects whether Forsaken still has any nerves in its body.

The Abandoned Monkey's red eyes no longer held uncontrollable rage, but rather joy and a sense of longing. It tugged at Teng Shu's clothes, and Teng Shu chuckled as he picked up the Abandoned Monkey and rubbed its head.

You can still knead it. After all, Ghost Pokémon can have a similar physical feel if you want to. It's just that the feel is a bit peculiar. It's a bit like kneading a slow-rebound toy for stress relief, or like kneading pudding.

Carrying the abandoned monkey back to the orphanage, Teng Shu also took the opportunity to check on the other Pokémon. None of the little guys had any health problems. After all, the attacks from Altaria and the others were directly blocked by the orphanage's protective system, which even froze Altaria and Onix.

Teng Shu stood in his room, glanced at the deepening night, then yawned, climbed into bed, and fell into a deep sleep.

Although he had owned the orphanage for some time, this was the first time Teng Shu had seen its security system. It was undeniably amazing. He just didn't know if the phantom he saw was Kyurem.

The next morning, Tengshu got up early again. Although he was woken up in the middle of the night, it didn't affect him too much, and his sleep quality was still very good.

"Today's weather..." Teng Shu looked at the condensation on the window and frowned slightly. Winter had finally arrived.

When it's cold, you need to eat something hot. The good news is that food shelf life is extended. Tengshu is quite fortunate that this is Changqing City, not other cities. Tengshu has heard that some cities have extremely low winter temperatures, sometimes as low as minus 20 or 30 degrees Celsius, while the lowest temperature in Changqing City is usually around minus 3 degrees Celsius.

Most of the time the temperature stays above zero degrees Celsius, and most plants remain green, which is the origin of the name Changqing City, meaning evergreen.

Teng Shu came downstairs. He originally planned to make breakfast first, but thinking of the unicorn and the green caterpillar, Teng Shu decided to go outside and take a look around first.

Since opening the orphanage, Teng Shu has witnessed a lot of abandonment. Some people deliberately abandon their children here, but perhaps not wanting to be discovered, they will abandon them nearby rather than at the gate.

It would be fine in other seasons, but it's winter now, and the vines don't want the unicorn bug infestation to continue.

As soon as Teng Shu reached the gate, he felt something climbing up his left shoulder. He turned his head and saw it was the Abandoned Monkey.

"Little Bao, why are you up so early today?" Teng Shu smiled and stroked the abandoned monkey's fur. Hmm, the feel of it was still strange.

The abandoned monkey shook its head, then made a sleeping motion, before jumping up and running around.

Teng Shu's lips twitched. What did that mean?

However, sensing the excitement of the abandoned monkey, Teng Shu could roughly guess what was going on.

The abandoned monkey was probably sick for a long time, so now that it's healthy again, it's become a bit too excited. It's too excited to sleep, so it gets up and runs around exercising.

"Do you want to come out with me?" Teng Shu asked with a smile. The Abandoned Monkey immediately nodded, then jumped off Teng Shu's back and followed beside him.

Teng Shu did not stop it.

With the abandoned monkey in tow, Teng Shu greeted the old man who was cleaning, then walked out of the orphanage and toured around it.

Tengshu breathed a sigh of relief when he didn't see any Pokémon or Poké Balls along the way, thinking that today should be relatively smooth.

Meanwhile, the abandoned monkey kept looking around, seemingly very interested in everything around it. Teng Shu felt a pang of sadness seeing the abandoned monkey like this.

Being able to move around normally is a normal thing for most people and Pokémon, but for the former Primeape, it was an unattainable dream.

Chapter 157 Special Medicine and Ralts

"Director, I heard someone tried to come to the orphanage to get revenge on you last night?" Locke rubbed his hands together, then took off his gloves and put them in his pocket before hurrying to the kitchen to warm himself by the fire.

"Yes, she's been taken away by Officer Jenny now." Teng Shu nodded. He was cooking noodles. Since it was winter, Teng Shu planned to make only hot food, as only hot food could soothe the winter chill.

Locke nodded thoughtfully, but didn't say anything more. Instead, he squatted down and warmed himself by the fire, and Teng Shu didn't stop him.

"By the way, Dean, regarding Laluras's Alzheimer's disease, I went back yesterday and asked my old classmate. He said there are now some effective drugs for this disease that can greatly slow down its progression," Locke said to Teng Shu, remembering something.

Teng Shu paused for a moment.

He was still very concerned about Ralts; after all, the little guy was adorable. However, if the dementia continued to develop, Ralts might gradually become demented, and then...

"Very expensive?" Teng Shu glanced at Locke. Special medicine, special medicine, the price of this stuff is generally not low.

"It's expensive, but if you can get the Alliance's chronic disease medical insurance, then the price is still very cheap." Locke thought of that string of zeros and nodded, but then added a sentence.

After hearing this, Teng Shu couldn't help but think for a moment.

The Alliance's chronic disease medical insurance? Teng Shu knew about it. It was a rather special type of medical insurance. The annual coverage wasn't very high, but it benefited many people. It could be considered a welfare policy launched by the Alliance. However, the only problem was that applying for it was quite complicated.

There is a queue.

The Pokémon League does not currently promote universal health insurance. These are all types of insurance that require individual payment and enrollment. Naturally, there are many people who want to enroll in such chronic health insurance, so there are often long queues. However, this is not a problem, as it is much simpler than organ transplants for Krookodile.

Teng Shu plans to apply for treatment for Ralts when he gets back. For now, he can only give Ralts medicine and wait for the medical pod to be upgraded in the future before he can receive treatment, or he can pray that Ralts can evolve and then solve this problem.

"Uncle Tengshu!" Tengshu was cutting meat when he suddenly heard this voice, which startled him so much that he almost cut his hand.

Locke froze. He immediately stood up and was about to rush out the window, but before he could, Xiao Huang, wearing a down jacket, grabbed him and hugged him tightly.

“Uncle Locke!” Little Huang smiled innocently. Locke’s lips twitched, and then as he turned his head, the expression on his face changed from a mask of pain to a kind smile.

"Oh, it's Xiao Huang. Are you here today too?" Locke looked at Xiao Huang with a bitter expression. He had overheard Teng Shu and Xiao Huang talking yesterday, but Locke thought that the three sisters probably wouldn't come every day. However, he didn't expect them to come today.

If I had known earlier...

Forget it.

Although the little girl was troublesome, Locke was more worried about not being able to eat the food made by Tengshu than about the trouble.

Looking at Locke, who was smiling and working, Tengshu shook his head and continued cutting meat. Xiaolan went off to bother Locke, while Xiaohong walked over with steady steps to present Tengshu with a gift, while the two loyal servants followed silently behind.

"Xiao Hong, will you be having lunch and dinner here?" Teng Shu asked Xiao Hong with a smile. Upon hearing this, Xiao Hong smiled gently.

"Uncle Tengshu, thank you for your concern, but my sisters and I will be having lunch and dinner at home, so we won't bother you any longer." Xiaohong spoke at a moderate pace, but her words were very clear.

Teng Shu nodded. He was used to Xiao Hong's behavior; after all, that's just how Xiao Hong was.

"Uncle Locke, what do you mean by chorea? I saw it in anime yesterday! Is it about dancing all the time?" Little Huang asked curiously, tugging at Locke's clothes.

"That's Huntington's disease," Xiao Lan added calmly, but judging from the upturned corners of her mouth, the little girl was quite proud of herself.

Locke was somewhat helpless; he wasn't a search engine, but he did know about Huntington's disease, since it was partly related to psychology, and Locke had done some research on it.

"This so-called Huntington's disease is actually..." Locke tried to describe the symptoms of the disease in a less frightening tone and with less alarming words.

"Wow, that's scary! Uncle Locke, do you know why the sun looks so small in the morning but so big at noon?" Little Huang's face turned pale, and then he quickly asked another question.

Locke took a deep breath; it seemed he would continue playing the encyclopedia role today.

With Locke drawing fire from outside, Tengshu was able to concentrate on making breakfast. She finished quickly and then rang the bell.

The three little girls were still in front of the line.

Behind them, Slowpoke and Ralts were being led by Charmander. Both Slowpoke and Ralts had blank stares, as if they were daydreaming.

Stinky Flower didn't come.

However, this wasn't the kind of breakfast that Tengshu prepared for Gloom. Taking care of Grass-type Pokémon is relatively simpler. For Grass-type Pokémon, special Grass-type food is fine, as are berries.

Tengshu checked yesterday and found that ChouChouHua likes to eat tree fruits, so Tengshu plans to prepare some tree fruits for ChouChouHua this time.

"I feel like Charmander has had a tough time too." Teng Shu glanced at Charmander, who was standing in front of Baby Dragon and Abandoned Monkey.

Perhaps because they had both been disabled, the abandoned monkey and the baby dragon quickly accepted the little dragon, and the little dragon also quickly integrated into this strange little group.

And Slowpoke and Ralts...

Well, when Tengshu prepared breakfast for them, the two little guys were still in a daze and didn't move at all. Tengshu didn't know how they were supposed to eat.

"Uncle Tengshu, what is this..." Little Blue looked at Charmander and Ralts with curiosity.

"They just came to the orphanage," Teng Shu explained softly. Xiao Lan said "oh," and then looked at Ralts curiously.

Ralts' eyes were vacant, but the next second its gaze sharpened and became terrified. However, it calmed down a bit after noticing Charmander and Slowpoke beside it.

Teng Shu breathed a sigh of relief.

Ralts's dementia is troublesome. It doesn't flare up all the time, but when it does, it's very troublesome. Fortunately, it still remembers Charmander and the others.

Chapter 158 Journey to the West Gains Fame

However, Alzheimer's disease progresses slowly, and in the later stages, the patient will forget everything, only have some self-care abilities, and is prone to getting lost, so it is very troublesome and medication is still needed. Tengshu plans to submit an application to Ralts after finishing breakfast.

"Apply... This time, there definitely won't be a situation like Hulk Crocodile's again." Teng Shu took a deep breath, thinking of some unpleasant things.

It's been some time since the rascal crocodile left this world. Teng Shu personally buried its remains in the cemetery. He doesn't know how the rascal crocodile is doing now; is it in the spirit world, or...?

Teng Shu thought of the purplish-black will-o'-the-wisp he had seen in the cemetery before. He didn't know what was going on with that will-o'-the-wisp, but Teng Shu preferred that it was just Hunhun Crocodile.

However, thinking of the will-o'-the-wisp, Teng Shu remembered something else. Now that the Fire Monkey had successfully evolved into the Abandoned Monkey, the Abandoned Monkey might be able to help identify the will-o'-the-wisp and find out what kind of situation it was.

Thinking of this, Teng Shu felt a little excited. He was really curious about that ball of ghost fire, after all, it had crawled out of the tombstone of the scoundrel crocodile.

But for now, let's eat first.

Teng Shu was eating, and Xiao Huang, who had been pestering Locke, was now much more well-behaved under the watchful eye of his older sister, Xiao Hong. He stopped pestering Locke with questions. However, judging from Locke's tired eyes, Teng Shu knew that Locke had probably once again become an encyclopedia of ten thousand whys.

After finishing their meal, the two servants still came to Tengshu to help him wash the dishes. Tengshu didn't refuse, since it was winter and the water was very cold. Although Tengshu was thick-skinned and didn't care much, it was better to suffer less.

"Uncle Locke!" As soon as Locke finished eating and his bowl and chopsticks were cleared away, Xiao Huang immediately ran up to him. Locke was a little dizzy; this little girl Xiao Huang was so inquisitive. Now, all Locke could think about was Xiao Huang saying things like, "Uncle Locke, why..."

This caused Locke some pain.
