I run an orphanage in the Pokémon world.

"I feel that the kid named Youyang is very interested in Gloom, and the girl named Huarui really likes Charmander. But there's a little guy named Ruiqing who seems to have a special fondness for Magikarp." Locke chuckled and gave his opinion. Tengshu glanced at Locke; this guy has good eyesight, he actually noticed all of this.

But who is this Ruiqing?

Tengshu didn't see any matching values ​​above 50. When he heard Tengshu's question, Locke pointed to something. Tengshu looked over and saw a little boy with a matching value of only 30%. This matching value was obviously not enough. Even though Magikarp is the most common Pokémon, Tengshu would not let the boy adopt it.

"Thank goodness it's not negative..." Teng Shu squinted. Since he started living in the Pokémon world, he had seen countless match values. Among these match values, the lowest was a negative number. A woman wanted to adopt Meowth, and when Teng Shu looked at her match value, it was -75%. At the time, Teng Shu thought he must have misread it, since a negative number seemed very exaggerated.

Upon closer inspection, Teng Shu realized he hadn't misread it; the woman's compatibility was indeed negative. Therefore, Teng Shu decisively rejected her, no matter how good she was.

Later, I heard that the woman was arrested for abusing Pokémon. I learned that the higher the positive match value, the deeper the bond between the human and the Pokémon after adoption, and the happier they will be. On the contrary, it is negative. The higher the negative value, the more sinister the adopter is.

However, this is a minority. Teng Shu has been running the welfare home for so long, and he has only ever seen that one woman who was a negative number. All the others are perfectly normal.

The students left, and many of the little guys' Pokémon went to see them off, but Slowpoke was somewhere spacing out and didn't come.

And Ralts, Ralts didn't come either.

"The orphanage has become much quieter now," Teng Shu remarked, looking at the suddenly deserted orphanage.

Locke nodded. The special children had brought some liveliness to the orphanage, but after they left, the orphanage became much quieter. Before, Locke had been surrounded by many children.

Regardless, life goes on. Tengshu and Locke had dinner in the somewhat deserted orphanage. Grandpa Xingzhen resumed his daily life of planting fruit trees with Dark Raven. It seemed that nothing had changed, but it also seemed that everything had changed.

"Uncle Tengshu, I'm going home tomorrow too." After finishing dinner, Xiaozhi stood in front of Tengshu with a reluctant expression and said this. Tengshu smiled and patted Xiaozhi's head.

"Remember to say hello to your mother for me," Teng Shu said gently. Xiao Zhi would occasionally volunteer, but because of his age, he wouldn't volunteer for very long each time.

Tengshu and Hanako have a good relationship and can be considered friends. When Ash first came to his place as a volunteer, it was Hanako who brought him. She also brought Tengshu some local specialties from Pallet Town, which Tengshu gratefully ate. However, he was disappointed to find that he did not become a Super Rookie.

It seems that Ash's future success has nothing to do with the food in Pallet Town or Hanako's cooking skills.

Ash looked at the Pokémon in the orphanage with reluctance, but still obediently returned to his dormitory. He made a friend, a special friend. Although the other person couldn't speak, he could type. Ash planned to chat with Yuyang.

After finishing dinner, Teng Shu continued to study his driving test materials. When he was almost done, he changed his clothes, grabbed a flashlight, and went out for a night patrol. Xiao Zhi followed him again this time.

"Ash, I remember you'll be ten years old next year, and you can embark on your journey, right?" Tengshu said to Ash while looking around with a flashlight.

"Yes, Uncle Tengshu, my mom said she's already spoken to Professor Oak on my behalf!" Ash smiled happily. Mentioning the trip made Ash's sadness about parting lessen a lot, and Tengshu's lips curled up.

Did you make a reservation with Professor Oak? Strictly speaking, you did make a reservation, but Ash woke up too late, so when he got there, all the other Pokémon available were gone. So he teamed up with Pikachu and embarked on his path to becoming a Pokémon Master.

The journey has been quite eventful.

"So, Ash, how well do you know about Pokémon?" Tengshu planned to give Ash a crash course so he wouldn't do something as stupid as using an Electric-type Pokémon against a Rock-type right from the start. It was only because Brock held back, or because Pikachu might have some unique ability, that Tengshu really couldn't understand how Ash would get past Brock using Pikachu.

Chapter 203 The Angry Poster

"Hehehe..." Ash scratched his head sheepishly. Seeing Ash's expression, Tengshu knew that Ash probably hadn't been studying properly.

Tengshu shook his head. Ash's love for Pokémon was undeniable, but he didn't seem to have much of a knack for studying it. Or perhaps Ash was more of a practitioner? He might not be good at theory, but he needed to accumulate experience through actual battles to get stronger? Tengshu thought that was somewhat possible, since Ash did indeed become a Pokémon Master later on.

"Ash, if you want to become a Pokémon Master, you need to know the most basic type matchups," Teng Shu said earnestly. He didn't want to concern himself with the details of the anime; he figured it was just a deliberate design choice by the production team to show Ash starting from scratch in the early stages of the anime's production.

"But Uncle Tengshu, when I watch those champion battles, don't they just shout 'Get out of the way!' 'Hold on!' and that's how they win?" Ash looked at Tengshu with some curiosity. Tengshu rubbed his face, thinking, "Damn, who fights like that..."

Ah, it seems everyone fights like this, then it's alright.

"Xiao Zhi, that's advanced knowledge. You can't learn it now. You don't have enough foundation. It's easy to cause trouble if you learn that." Teng Shu said seriously. Xiao Zhi nodded in confusion. Is that so?

"I'll give you a copy of 'Trainer Battles: Five Years of Basics, Three Years of Excitement' tomorrow, then you'll see." Tengshu continued his nonsense, and Xiaozhi looked at him with admiration. Uncle Tengshu was really amazing!

Tengshu led Xiaozhi around for a while, and they didn't see any abandoned Pokémon along the way, which made Tengshu feel much more relaxed. However, when they arrived at the entrance of the orphanage and were about to push the door open, Tengshu noticed a piece of paper posted on the gate of his orphanage.

"What is this?" Teng Shu subconsciously shone his flashlight on it, then quickly turned it off.

"Uncle Tengshu, what's wrong?" Xiaozhi didn't see the paper clearly. Tengshu didn't say anything, but instead tore the paper off with a smile, said "job advertisement", and led Xiaozhi inside.

Ash didn't think much of it. He figured Teng Shu was right, so he obediently went to sleep.

Teng Shu went to his office and took out the piece of paper he had torn off from his pocket and looked at it.

[Alone late at night, with parents not home?]

Come and see this bloody and thrilling real treasure show!

[By tipping, you can choose the corresponding torture instruments to torment the Pokémon you want. What are you waiting for? Click the link below to enter!]

Please note that minors are not allowed to enter.

A poster, extremely gory, the kind that wouldn't pass censorship if mentioned out loud. Teng Shu was filled with rage because he saw a Bulbasaur pieced together on the poster.

"Are these people really that arrogant?" Teng Shu was a little angry. This thing was actually posted right on his door? It was practically mocking him!

Teng Shu decisively took a picture and sent it to Jun Sha Guang. Teng Shu had no intention of visiting the website himself. Who knew if the website had any viruses or Trojans? It would be troublesome if his computer got infected.

It's best to leave professional matters to professionals.

A short while later, Officer Jenny called.

"Teng Shu, where did you see this poster?" Officer Jenny's voice was very serious. Teng Shu answered directly, and upon hearing Teng Shu's reply, Officer Jenny's tone became even angrier.

"These guys! How dare they do this? Do they think the Alliance is useless?" Officer Jenny was furious. Teng Shu asked a question, and then his expression also turned ugly.

Where there is light, there will be darkness; this is unavoidable. Teng Shu had always known that while the world of Pokémon was wonderful, it also had its share of problems. He was well aware of this and was doing his best to change the world. However, he never expected that these insects in the darkness would be so arrogant as to jump right into his face.

The issue of Pokémon abuse is relatively rare, but it does exist. The League is cracking down on it, so this industry has always been like rats in the gutter, hiding everywhere and not daring to show their faces. But I didn't expect these guys to be so arrogant now, directly posting such advertisements at the entrance of their own welfare center, and that website also has a large number of videos of Pokémon abuse.

"There's Porygon, we should be able to catch it, right?" Tengshu mentioned a relatively rare Pokémon, Porygon.

Porygon may look ordinary, but it is very powerful on the internet. The League has trained many Porygons to protect network security, as well as to check water meters and other things. It is an excellent Pokémon.

“Those guys have them too, and the League is still investigating.” Officer Jenny’s expression was not good. Although Porygon is very rare, it is occasionally captured by others. The price of a Porygon is still very expensive. If it is a pre-selected Porygon that can be used directly on the Internet, it is even more expensive.

Teng Shu pinched his brow. He was furious when he saw the poster in his hand, but for now he could only hand it over to Officer Jenny and see if he could find any useful clues, such as fingerprints. However, Teng Shu knew that the possibility was very small.

"These guys...are they provoking me? No, I don't have any enemies in this world, except for Black Flame who was sent there..." Teng Shu couldn't understand why these people were sticking to him. Were they trying to mock him?

Teng Shu felt it was unlikely that they had a grudge against him. After all, Teng Shu had only been in this world for a few months and had no time to make enemies. The only enemy he had was Hei Yan, but Hei Yan had already been sent in. Could it be Hei Yan's relatives or friends?

"Hmm? Can I use that item from the system?" Teng Shu thought of something to use to track down the original trainers of abandoned Pokémon.

Teng Shu tried buying one and then used it based on the poster.

A black-haired woman appeared before Teng Shu's eyes. Teng Shu glanced at her; she was holding a poster and coming down from the Alliance's office...

"This... Changqing City Alliance Service Hall?" Teng Shu was somewhat surprised. How dare they post this?

Teng Shu quickly sent a message to Officer Jenny, but did not say that he had seen it. Instead, he said that based on the other party's style of doing things, he might post this thing in other places in Changqing City.

Chapter 204 Cold Wave

It wasn't until the next day that Teng Shu learned about the woman.

"...So, you mean this woman's Pokémon was captured and tortured by a poaching gang, and she did this as revenge?" Teng Shu sat in the cafeteria eating spicy soup and fried dough sticks, looking at Officer Jenny in front of him with disbelief. Locke, standing next to him, also stared wide-eyed, enjoying the latest gossip from this morning.

Jun Sha Guang arrived in the morning. She came to deliver news about that woman to Teng Shu and to take a statement from him. Teng Shu saw that it was almost time, so he decided to have Jun Sha Guang stay for a meal.

“Yes, she thinks calling the police is useless. She has to make a big scene and embarrass the league so that they will take it seriously.” Officer Jenny said irritably. Her words were a blow to the league’s credibility, and what was most troublesome was that the other party was actually doing it.

They posted the posters while simultaneously going live to complain, and even sent the posters to various newspapers and TV stations in Changqing City. Now it's all on the news.

Teng Shu's expression was somewhat subtle, in a way...

Forget it, I can't say. It's better not to discuss this kind of topic.

"So what do you plan to do now?" Teng Shu couldn't help but ask, and Officer Jenny glanced at Teng Shu.

"What else can we do? It's gotten so big, so naturally we have to deal with it seriously." Officer Jenny's expression wasn't good. Teng Shu and Locke exchanged a glance but didn't say anything. Instead, they changed the subject and started discussing the weather.

While discussing the weather, Teng Shu ate his spicy soup, which he had made for breakfast that day. However, the three sisters, Hong, Lan, and Huang, had been away for the past two days, and he didn't know what they had been up to. But Locke had been much more relaxed during this time. In his words, he no longer had to worry about being forced to answer a million questions for breakfast.

However, Teng Shu was quite concerned about the three little girls. After all, the three little girls had said before that they would come to his place for breakfast every day, but they hadn't come recently. Moreover, with Xiao Zhi and the other children leaving, Teng Shu's orphanage had become much quieter.

Ash left early in the morning, as he needed to catch the bus back to Pallet Town as soon as possible. Tengshu didn't see him off. Viridian City wasn't a dangerous place, and Ash could go back alone without any problem. However, Tengshu still gave Ash a cup of tree juice to drink on the way.

“Speaking of which, I saw on the weather forecast that a cold front is coming to Changqing City,” Locke said. Teng Shu nodded; he had also seen the news. A cold front was coming, and the temperature was expected to drop by about ten degrees Celsius. Changqing City might see snow; the last time it snowed was said to be four or five years ago.

It remains to be seen whether this cold snap will bring a rare snowfall to Changqing City.

"It's alright if the cold wave doesn't cause a natural disaster like last time," Officer Jenny chimed in. She really hated natural disasters; they were such a hassle. After the previous disaster, the Alliance spent a long time dealing with the aftermath, and the Minister of Finance looked miserable.

The finance minister was already quite distressed. The alliance needed money everywhere, and there were various places in Evergreen City that needed money as well. Money was already somewhat scarce, and then the natural disaster struck, which made the already poor finance department even worse off. The finance department had to grit their teeth and scrimp and save to finally scrape together the money to deal with the disaster.

If it happened again, Officer Jenny thinks that even the composed finance minister would burst into tears.

Tengshu shared the same opinion as Officer Jenny: as long as it's not a natural disaster, the Pokémon can always survive. The cold weather will also cause some Pokémon to hibernate. The only problem is that people who abandon their Pokémon might leave them nearby instead of specifically leaving them with Tengshu.

However, with Officer Jenny patrolling day and night, any abandoned Pokémon found can be immediately brought to them.

...

After finishing his meal, the abandoned monkey slipped out and went to his usual exercise area. However, looking at the exercise facilities in front of him, the abandoned monkey's eyes showed some irritation.

During this time, the abandoned monkey kept thinking about what it could do for the vine tree.

Kai is earning money to supplement the family income, while Dark Raven is busy planting fruit trees. He used to often patrol the orphanage with the Doll Bear, but now he is diligently planting fruit trees, planting more and more, which can be considered as making an outstanding contribution to the green area of ​​the orphanage. Moreover, in the future, the fruit trees can also become a source of income for the orphanage.

The teddy bear can watch the gate every day and accompany Akai to change clothes to supplement the family income. Even the Dongshi cat can watch the warehouse and catch those little Rada who want to sneak into the warehouse to steal food. Thinking about this, the abandoned monkey felt a little embarrassed. It seemed that it could not do anything and could only exercise here with the baby dragon every day.

But what about it? It seems like all it does is fight.

The abandoned monkey was a little agitated. What could it do? It didn't know.

The orphanage is only so big, and most of the things that can be done have already been done by its companions. Before, it could clean up, but now that old man has come, it doesn't have to do cleaning anymore. The abandoned monkey can only pick up leaves at night and patrol the orphanage with the vine tree, which makes the abandoned monkey a little irritable.

"Roar~" Baby Dragon jumped over, looked at the Abandoned Monkey and roared. The Abandoned Monkey scratched its head in annoyance and didn't say anything, which caught Baby Dragon's attention. Baby Dragon jumped over, looked at the Abandoned Monkey curiously, and roared a few times.

Apathy jumped aside, then squatted down with vacant eyes, seemingly deep in thought. Babydra came over, and the two Pokémon started discussing something. As they discussed, Ralts joined in and overheard their conversation.

As Ralts took her medication every day, her memory improved slightly. At least she wasn't forgetting things every day like before. Once she came to her senses, Ralts quickly figured out who had helped her, and her attitude towards Tengshu and the other children in the orphanage improved considerably.

Ralts also wanted to help share the burden.

The three Pokémon discussed for a while, and it's unclear what they came up with, but in the end, the Forsaken simply took its Bagon and Ralts to find Kai. When they found Kai, Kai was also just about to look for them.

Kai pointed at the computer screen, his eyes flashing with superhuman power, as if he were saying something...

Chapter 205 The Abandoned Monkey in Action

[Mission Request: Investigate three unbelievable things happening at school!]

[Reward: 30,000 Alliance Coins, plus an additional 20,000 if all is resolved!]

[Client: I'm not short of money]

Looking at the computer in front of him, Kai realized that Yorozuya had gained some fame after developing for a period of time. However, this fame was limited to Changqing City. After all, Yorozuya only took on jobs in Changqing City and would not take on jobs too far away unless remote online assistance was available.

Even with some fame, Kai's daily work mainly consisted of homework tutoring and occasionally writing papers. Fortunately, Kai is a Psychic Pokémon, so although the work was a bit troublesome, it persevered.

In Akai's opinion, this mission offers the most generous reward and is the most exciting gift. After all, if he can solve it, it's 50,000 Alliance Coins! 50,000 Alliance Coins! What does that mean? If he gives it to Dean Tengshu, Dean Tengshu will definitely be very happy.

However, Akai couldn't do this task because it required going to a middle school in Evergreen City. Just as Akai was feeling down, the Abandoned Monkeys and their friends came to his door, and Akai had an idea.

"..." Kai shut down the computer and looked at the orphanage in front of him. The abandoned monkeys were still outside exercising and preparing. They planned to go there at night. Kai had figured out that humans usually sleep at night. Only a portion of them, known as night owls, stay awake at night. However, Dean Tengshu was not a night owl. Dean Tengshu went to bed very early.

Therefore, going out at night is relatively safe, and it won't worry Dean Tengshu. It also makes their investigation easier.

However, entering a middle school to investigate the so-called Three Mysteries is obviously not a simple task, so Akai needs to provide technical support.

“Three incredible things?” Akai sat down against the wall, then held the notebook in his hand. A teacup flew to its side, and tea was poured into it naturally.

Every school has its own strange tales and rumors. The origins of these things are generally unverifiable, and they gradually become distorted and changed through word of mouth. Because of his management of the Yorozuya, Kai has also learned a lot about these things.

Soon, Akai found the so-called three wonders of the school on the school's forum.

[Three Unbelievable Rumors About Our School! (Highlights)]

Hello everyone, fellow students! I imagine you're all aware of some of the rumors circulating about our school. After categorizing and summarizing them, I've found that these rumors are actually quite similar. And I've dubbed these rumors "Three Unbelievable Things."

[The first unbelievable thing is the infirmary at night. Everyone has probably seen the mannequin and Pokémon model in the infirmary, but the rumor is that every night, these two models mysteriously disappear and wander around the school. When they encounter students left at school, they will tear off their skin and dig out their organs one by one for on-site teaching...]

The post even included two models: one was a human model, and the other was a model of a hog, which looked quite ordinary.

The second unbelievable thing is the wall of honor opposite the registrar's office, which displays the names of our school's outstanding teachers and students throughout history. But rumors say that if you go to the registrar's office late at night, you'll find that all the people in those photos have vanished! Where did they go?

Akai nervously took a sip of tea. It was a little scared. It didn't like ghosts or ghost Pokémon, since Ghost-type Pokémon were special attackers against Psychic-type Pokémon.

The third unbelievable thing is the girls' restroom on the third floor of the teaching building. Every night, a mournful weeping sound can be heard coming from there...

There are many comments, with many people swearing that such a thing did happen, while others say that the poster is just trying to attract attention. Although such posts were once very popular, they have now been erased by the passage of time. The last time someone replied was three years ago. I don't know why anyone would bring this up now, or even offer such a high reward.

The money has already been sent to the website account. It will be deducted once the task is completed, and refunded if the task is not completed. So Akai is not worried about encountering any scammers.
