I run an orphanage in the Pokémon world.

"Little guy, don't run so fast," Teng Shu said helplessly, thankfully he was fast.

Although Ai Guan Shi was also there, Xiao Lan was still young and it wouldn't be good for her to be frightened. These little guys often have special physical conditions, and in such cold weather, even just being frightened could make them sick.

Therefore, Tengshu didn't want to see such a thing happen.

"Hehe, with Uncle Tengshu here, Xiaolan isn't afraid!" Xiaolan happily hugged Tengshu. Tengshu looked at Xiaolan like this and couldn't help but laugh. This girl Xiaolan was really brave. Considering that Xiaolan had asked him to help her find treasure before, Tengshu felt that this was quite normal, something that Xiaolan was capable of doing.

"Alright, didn't you see your sister's face turned black?" Teng Shu said with a mix of amusement and exasperation. Xiao Lan glanced back after hearing this and then saw Xiao Hong's benevolent smile. Xiao Lan was so frightened that she shuddered and immediately became obedient.

"I'm so sorry, Uncle Tengshu, my sister has caused you trouble." Xiao Hong walked over and said to Tengshu with a smile. Tengshu waved his hand. He didn't think Xiao Lan had caused him any trouble. Xiao Lan was quite cute.

Seeing that Teng Shu didn't seem to care, Xiao Hong didn't say anything more, but instead led Xiao Lan and followed Teng Shu toward the gate of the orphanage.

When he walked up to the car, Teng Shu couldn't help but take a second look.

Perhaps because he's been taking driving lessons recently, Tengshu is quite interested in these cars from the Pokémon world.

Upon closer inspection, Teng Shu realized that the vehicle did indeed resemble a motorhome, but it was much larger and had a more unique layout.

This reminded Teng Shu of a minivan, a rather special type of vehicle.

"What do you want to eat today?" Teng Shu asked the three little girls with a smile.

The three girls arrived very early today, which means Teng Shu can prepare breakfast for them. Previously, the three girls would arrive halfway through cooking, and by then it would be too late to change things at the last minute.

Hearing Teng Shu's words, the three little girls' eyes lit up.

Chapter 179 Hamburger?

When Teng Shu found out what the three little girls wanted to eat, his expression turned somewhat strange.

"Okay." However, since he had never made breakfast for these three little girls before, Teng Shu thought about it and agreed to their small request.

Once back at the orphanage, Teng Shu went to the kitchen and started preparing breakfast, while Locke's expression twisted in disgust.

Fortunately, Ash was there today, so Blue, one of the three girls, went to bother Ash instead, which relieved Locke. Otherwise, being bothered by all three girls at once would have been a headache for even Locke.

Meanwhile, Teng Shu was cooking.

"Hamburgers? I never thought I'd be eating hamburgers for breakfast one day," Teng Shu thought to himself as he worked with the flour.

Teng Shu has eaten a lot of breakfasts, including some fast food breakfasts, such as paninis and the like. Paired with a cup of soy milk, it's a pretty good choice.

However, Teng Shu always felt that this kind of breakfast was strange, so he rarely ate it, let alone made his own breakfast.

However, it must be said that hamburgers are indeed a very easy food to make, so it is reasonable to call them fast food.

What do you need to make a hamburger?

The two buns for a hamburger, then washed lettuce, pickles, and some tomatoes, the only thing that takes a little time is the meat inside, but if you plan ahead, you can prepare a hamburger in just one or two minutes.

Hamburgers have gained popularity due to their convenience and speed, and the increasing number of people entering the industry has led to intense competition.

Various fancy hamburgers have suddenly appeared, and there have even been hamburgers made with snail rice noodles, which has left the people of Tengshu dumbfounded.

However, none of this matters to Teng Shu now; he's currently making fairly ordinary hamburgers.

A beef and pickle burger, topped with some sauce and vegetables, is all you need to do.

However, this speed was too fast, so Tengshu simply made some more soy milk. Even so, Tengshu's cooking speed was still much faster than before.

Soon, Teng Shu rang the bell, and the three little girls immediately ran over.

"Here you go, hamburgers." Teng Shu smiled and handed the hamburgers to the three little girls one by one, along with a cup of soy milk.

"Hey? Dean, why are you making hamburgers today?" Locke took ten hamburgers without any hesitation. Teng Shu was used to it. This guy had always had a big appetite. He didn't know why, even though he was getting older, Teng Shu's appetite wasn't as good anymore.

"Xiao Lan and the others said they wanted to eat." Teng Shu smiled and made Locke a large cup of soy milk. Because Locke had a big appetite, Teng Shu used a large glass that holds a liter of beer and filled Locke's cup to the brim.

Locke understood. It wasn't the first time that Red, Blue, and Yellow had come to the orphanage. Teng Shu rarely saw them, so it wasn't strange to prepare a special breakfast for them.

Next up was Ash. Ash didn't look too well. He even yawned in front of Tengshu, which made Tengshu want to yawn too.

"Xiao Zhi, did you not sleep well last night?" Teng Shu handed Xiao Zhi a hamburger and a cup of soy milk, then looked at Xiao Zhi with concern and asked.

"No, Uncle Tengshu, it's just that it's too cold, and I can't get out of bed." Xiaozhi yawned again.

After preparing breakfast for the little ones, Tengshu sat down in his usual spot with his hamburger, chatting with Locke as he ate. Ash listened curiously from the side, but after a while, Ash shifted his attention to the Pokémon.

Ash's gaze fell on Charmander. He looked into Charmander's empty eyes with a hint of regret in his eyes.

However, Ash then thought of the Pokémon he had encountered at the orphanage in Tengshu during this period, the one that he found most troublesome and difficult to deal with.

Stinky Flower.

Ash bumped into Gloom on his first day there. After all, Ash was curious about whether any Pokémon had appeared in Tengshu's orphanage, and he ran into Gloom while wandering around.

Then came the story of Ash wanting to greet Gloom, but Gloom was very resistant. This piqued Ash's curiosity, and after finishing his volunteer work each day, he spent the rest of his time trying to connect with Gloom.

But so far, Gloom hasn't paid any attention to Ash, which is making Ash a little annoyed.

After breakfast, the maidservant came over to help Tengshu wash the dishes, and Tengshu smiled and played with the three little girls for a while.

"Uncle Tengshu! Come here quickly!" Xiao Lan waved excitedly to Tengshu. Tengshu was stunned for a moment. Why did this scene seem so familiar?

"Xiao Lan, what's wrong?" Teng Shu looked at Xiao Lan curiously, then rubbed Xiao Lan's head.

Xiao Lan mysteriously pulled something out of her pocket and held it up to Teng Shu's face. Teng Shu looked at the piece of paper in front of him and felt a little nauseous.

He remembered that last time, Xiao Lan had mysteriously pulled out a piece of paper, claiming it was a treasure map, and asked him to help find the treasure. Although they did find it later, including the rare pink diamond from Diancie, Teng Shu knew it was a coincidence. That treasure map wasn't a treasure map at all, and the fact that they could still find it was absurd.

Just because you could find it before doesn't mean you can find it now.

"Uncle Tengshu, look, what's this?" Xiaolan unfolded the note in her hand and showed it to Tengshu.

Teng Shu glanced at it; it was covered with strange lines that made no sense and resembled a child's scribbles. However, this time the pen was finer, but still, nothing could be made out.

"What is this?" Teng Shu was a little confused. He admitted that he really couldn't tell what this thing was. It was a magical painting that was even more abstract than abstract art.

"Hey, Uncle Tengshu, doesn't it look like a Pokémon from this angle!" Little Blue eagerly grabbed a piece of paper and changed the angle. Tengshu looked more closely, and this time he noticed...

I still can't see anything. Let alone Pokémon, even Gengar doesn't fit the content of this painting.

"Did you draw this yourself, Xiao Lan?" Teng Shu asked, somewhat amused and exasperated. Xiao Lan nodded proudly upon hearing this.

Teng Shu fell silent; Xiao Lan's talent was indeed rather strange.

Chapter 180 Donation

"So, Xiao Lan, who is this Pokémon you drew?" Teng Shu couldn't help but ask.

He was really curious.

Xiao Lan's abstract painting is simply abstract to an extreme.

No matter how hard Tengshu tried to use his brain, he simply couldn't connect this abstract painting with any Pokémon.

"Eh? Uncle Tengshu doesn't know? This is Pikachu!" Xiaolan looked at Tengshu in shock, seemingly surprised that Tengshu hadn't recognized the Pokémon.

Teng Shu took a deep breath and looked at it carefully again. Even though Teng Shu now knew that Xiao Lan was drawing Pikachu, he still couldn't tell what it had to do with Pikachu. If he had to say, it was probably that Pikachu also had some black stripes on its body.

"Haha... It's Pikachu! Little Blue is really amazing." Teng Shu still praised Little Blue against his conscience. It was rare for the little guy to take the initiative to show him his painting, so Teng Shu felt that he should praise Little Blue both morally and logically.

Xiao Lan smiled happily, then left the painting with Teng Shu before leaving the orphanage with Xiao Hong.

After the three little girls left, Tengshu's orphanage became quiet again. Tengshu glanced around and saw that Xiaozhi had disappeared somewhere. However, this wasn't Xiaozhi's first time volunteering, so Tengshu wasn't worried that Xiaozhi would run into any problems.

"I'd better check on Pidgey." Teng Shu thought for a moment, then went to the infirmary to see how Pidgey was doing.

When Tengshu went in, he saw Pidgey standing quietly on the table, letting Locke check its wings. Upon seeing Tengshu, Pidgey chirped happily a few times.

"How is Pidgey recovering?" Tengshu asked Locke, then walked over and stroked Pidgey's feathers. Pidgey rubbed against Tengshu, but Tengshu still couldn't see Pidgey's information. It seemed that Pidgey wasn't a stray Pokémon; all he could see were the information and attributes of stray Pokémon.

"Not bad, the medical pod is working very well. It even helped heal Pidgey's wings, and its bones are recovering very well. It can fly right now, but the feathers on its abdomen will take some time to grow back." Locke released his grip.

Although he is a psychologist, he is also proficient in some basic medical knowledge.

Tengshu felt much relieved, as he could now let Pidgey leave. However, the thought of that guy shooting Pokémon out of boredom still made Tengshu a little angry. These guys were really just looking for trouble, and once they did it, they might do it again, or even more. Tengshu didn't want to see Mew coming over to deliver Pokémon to him every day.

He only has two mattresses, and the one he has now needs to be washed. The weather has been bad lately, and he doesn't know how long it will take to dry.

"Go, Pidgey, go back to your forest." Tengshu said softly to Pidgey. Pidgey understood Tengshu's words. It nuzzled Tengshu, then flew out of the infirmary window, glancing back at Tengshu every now and then, chirping a few times before finally leaving.

“Dean, I have a feeling you’ll be receiving some more tree fruits in the next few days,” Locke said with a smile. Teng Shu pinched his brow; he knew what Locke meant.

Pokémon know how to repay kindness, which is the best thing about it, as it means you don't have to worry about helping a Pokémon only to be repaid with ingratitude...

Charizard: "Are you thinking about me?"

Um...

Most Pokémon will repay the trainers who help them. Of course, there are some special cases where Pokémon may not recognize a trainer at first, or even disobey commands. However, such cases are relatively rare.

However, judging from the appearance of that Pidgey, Teng Shu felt that the little guy might come back in the future and bring him something else, and the most suitable thing for a Pidgey to bring is berries.

For some reason, Teng Shu thought of that unlucky tropical dragon. According to Zoroark, the tropical dragon had been robbed before, possibly by a Charizard.

"Forget it, we'll see when the time comes. Anyway, even if there are tree fruits, the orphanage children will eat them all." Teng Shu waved his hand and left. He still had to go back to continue studying for his driver's license. Locke, on the other hand, smiled happily.

Just as Teng Shu returned to his office, his phone rang. He picked it up and saw it was a bank notification that 500,000 Alliance Coins had been deposited into his bank account. Teng Shu was delighted; it seemed that the bonus had really arrived this time.

"Five hundred thousand, not too much, not too little, what can we do with it?" Teng Shu hesitated a bit. He had been thinking about what he could do with five hundred thousand. Directly helping wild Pokémon was not an option, but improving the environment of Viridian Forest or something should be possible.

Teng Shu had an idea.

He, being alone, naturally didn't have much time to work in Viridian Forest. However, the League had rangers, and the rangers' organization accepted donations from the public. But like the Tengshu Welfare Home, these organizations rarely received donations, and the opening of this donation channel was more like a formality.

However, Teng Shu could donate to the forest rangers this time, but after thinking about it, he felt that the money might be used elsewhere. It's not that there is any corruption in the alliance, but the forest ranger industry is too big. There are countless rangers in the Kanto region alone. So Teng Shu felt that it would be more convenient to go directly to the Evergreen City Office and find the forest ranger team there to donate.

This ensures that the funds will be used on the forest rangers in Changqing City, who are primarily responsible for the work in Changpan Forest.

“Changqing City…” Teng Shu yawned, then rubbed his hands together, and then opened his phone to check the location of the forest protection team. He was somewhat surprised after seeing the location.

This forest ranger team wasn't far from him; they were even closer to the Evergreen Forest, only about two kilometers away.

"Okay, let's get on it now." Teng Shu made his decision; he planned to get this money issue sorted out as soon as possible.

Thinking of this, Teng Shu went to push his bicycle. The cold wind blowing along the way made Teng Shu even more determined to get a driver's license and buy a car. Winter is very long, and he didn't know how long this low temperature would last. He just hoped that this certain frozen bird would not come to cause trouble again.

Chapter 181 The Forest Ranger and the Talkative Man

"Uncle, are you riding your bike alone?" Teng Shu's lips twitched as he heard the girl's voice behind him. He was now regretting bringing this young girl along.

Just moments ago, Teng Shu was numbly riding his bicycle, feeling his heart grow cold, just like the awful weather outside. But as he rode, he saw a girl in a down jacket and a Pikachu knitted hat, standing by the roadside waving at him.

This puzzled Teng Shu, but he didn't think much of it. After all, even though the weather was cold, there were always some trainers who believed that the bigger the waves, the more valuable the fish, so they came out to challenge themselves or try their luck to see if they could catch a few Ice-type Pokémon.

After all, the colder the weather and the heavier the snow, the higher the probability of encountering Ice-type Pokémon, which is something that almost every trainer knows.

When Teng Shu arrived, the other woman pitifully asked him to carry her for a while, saying that she had twisted her ankle and couldn't walk. Teng Shu looked at her foot; her ankle was bright red, indicating that she had indeed twisted it, and quite badly.

So Teng Shu decided to take the other person a short distance to the forest ranger brigade. The forest ranger brigade has a doctor who can help take a look at them, so that at least they won't be unable to walk.

As soon as the other person got in the car, he wouldn't stop talking.

"Uncle, aren't you cold riding your bike?"

"Uncle, do you think it's possible to encounter Ice-type Pokémon in winter?"

"Uncle, what are you doing out here in this cold weather?"

The various questions made Teng Shu's scalp tingle. He really didn't expect this young girl to be so talkative, even though she wasn't very young, looking to be around twenty years old.

"Alright, we've arrived at the forest protection brigade." This was the first time Teng Shu had ridden his bike so fast that the chain was almost broken from all the pedaling. You can imagine how fast he was going. When he saw the forest protection brigade's buildings, he even felt a sense of relief.

"Huh? The forest rangers are here? I didn't know that!" the girl said in surprise. Teng Shu didn't say anything. He didn't want to talk right now. He just wanted to roll his eyes. This girl really talked a lot. But thankfully, the forest rangers had arrived. Let the doctor worry about it.

"Uncle, why do you think the forest rangers were built here? Aren't the people here lonely?" the girl asked curiously. Teng Shu's lips twitched.

Speaking of forest rangers, Teng Shu recalled his past life when he was looking for a job online and saw that there was a position for forest rangers among the civil servants. It was said that the salary was quite good, and the job was suitable for people with social anxiety, and even quite leisurely. However, there was too much truth and falsehood in the information on the Internet, so Teng Shu didn't know whether it was true or false.

Of course, Teng Shu felt there was still a possibility, since there weren't many people in that place to begin with, and not just anyone could go there; one needed to have specific professional knowledge in that area to register for the exam.

However, Teng Shu did know about the Pokémon League Rangers. After all, he was now affiliated with the League and naturally checked League news from time to time, including information about Rangers. Their salaries were above the League average, as the job was very hard.

The benefits and compensation are quite good, so it's a pretty good job.

"We're very close to the Evergreen Forest, so we can react quickly if a fire breaks out. As for being lonely, we're not lonely with the internet." A cheerful voice rang out. Teng Shu turned around, and a middle-aged man walked out. He was exceptionally muscular, the kind of guy no one would dare to mess with on the street.

However, what impressed Teng Shu even more was the scar on the other person's face. It was a large scar that ran from the forehead to the chin, covering the left side of the face, and it looked rather frightening.

"Hello, I'm the instructor of the forest protection team, my name is Airo. Do you need any help?" Airo said with a smile to Tengshu and the girl. Tengshu got out of the car and told Airo that the girl had twisted her ankle. Airo didn't think much of it and directly asked their doctor to come and treat the girl.
