I run an orphanage in the Pokémon world.

Tengshu started distributing the plates, but when counting the Pokémon plates, he accidentally added two too many. Only after he finished counting did he realize that Meowth and Poliwag had already been adopted.

Thinking of this, Teng Shu looked at the two extra plates in his hand and remained silent for a moment.

Then they put the plates away.

Habits are a terrible thing.

Before Meow Meow and the Wolfhound were around, Tengshu could easily grab about the same number of plates. Now that Meow Meow and the Wolfhound are gone, Tengshu is still getting used to it.

However, separation and reunion have always been the main themes of the orphanage. Tengshu can't keep these little guys forever. The best thing for abandoned Pokémon is that they can be taken back by their loving trainers.

Then Tengshu started scooping out today's lunch. All the ingredients were packed separately and scooped out individually, which was slightly more hygienic.

After the portions were divided, Teng Shu printed out a separate serving and set it aside, while Casey immediately took that serving of braised beef brisket with potatoes.

"Dean, the food you made tastes really good. Did you used to run a restaurant?" A male volunteer couldn't help but ask. Teng Shu glanced at the man and remembered that his name was Xiao Wu.

"I did consider opening a restaurant before, but I gave up on it later. However, I often cook at home." Teng Shu smiled. When he first came to the Pokémon world, he had thought about whether or not to open a restaurant.

He thought he could buy a food truck and travel around, but with the arrival of the system, Tengshu gave up on that idea. Now, Tengshu feels that he is doing quite well.

Spending time with these little guys every day is a really happy thing.

"I think... if the dean opened a restaurant, the business would definitely be booming." Xiao Guang mumbled incoherently, almost swallowing her tongue as she ate.

This beef brisket is fragrant and delicious; the aroma of beef bursts out with every bite.

“Me too.” Another boy nodded in agreement, then looked at Teng Shu apologetically.

"Still not full? Get another one." Teng Shu smiled and made him another one.

The boy thanked him shyly, and Teng Shu smiled and waved his hand before sitting down to eat his lunch. He saved a portion for Tong Ou Xiong, but there was still quite a bit left over.

I've done a bit too much.

With a loud bang, Teng Shu subconsciously turned his head to look out the window.

Chapter 17 Snorlax

A giant Pokémon lay on the grass outside the window.

Then the other person struggled to their feet and swayed as they walked towards the cafeteria.

The loud noise naturally attracted the attention of many people.

"Snorlax?" Teng Shu recognized the Pokémon in front of him at a glance, after all, Snorlax's enormous size made it very recognizable.

What Tengshu didn't quite understand was how Snorlax got in.

It's important to know that the orphanage has walls, and the design of these walls serves to protect privacy and ensure the safety of the Pokémon.

Although it's not very tall, it's still about 2.5 meters high.

However, the Snorlax in front of us seems to have climbed over the wall.

This made Tengshu very curious: how did this Snorlax manage to do that?

"Dean, how should we handle this?" Xiao Wu asked with a serious expression, looking at the Snorlax in front of him.

While Snorlax may look adorable in the anime, and most Snorlaxes are indeed like that, their enormous size and weight mean that if they were to step on a person's leg, they could easily cause a fracture.

Furthermore, if Snorlax is hungry, then Snorlax becomes even more threatening.

The League's "Guide to Encountering Wild Pokémon" specifically states that if you encounter a wild Snorlax and it is hungry, it is best to go around it.

If discovered, quickly throw out all the food in your backpack and escape as fast as possible.

Of course, if you have Pokémon, you can command them to battle, but a hungry Snorlax is very threatening, so trainers without badges are not advised to try this.

"I can handle it." Teng Shu wasn't particularly worried. This was an orphanage, and as long as he was inside, even a mythical beast couldn't threaten him.

Furthermore, Tengshu roughly guessed why Snorlax had come.

After all, Pokémon that spend most of their time sleeping and a small portion of their waking hours looking for food have a particularly simple and easy-to-understand thought process.

Tengshu scooped out a few more portions of braised beef brisket with potatoes, then carried the bucket that couldn't be finished over.

Several little ones wanted to come and keep Tengshu company along the way, but Tengshu refused.

Tengshu knew the little guys were trying to protect him, worried that Snorlax would go berserk, but Tengshu wasn't afraid at all.

Rather, he was more worried about the little guys getting hurt by Snorlax.

Snorlax was almost at the cafeteria entrance when it noticed the food that Tengshu was serving and plopped down on the ground.

Looking at Snorlax's dazed expression, Teng Shu found it somewhat amusing.

However, the Snorlax in front of him didn't look very fat and was a bit dirty, which made Tengshu curious. Could this Snorlax also be a stray Pokémon?

But my own mentally challenged system isn't responding, so maybe that's not the case.

"Want some food?" Tengshu looked at the Snorlax in front of him, scooped a spoonful of beef brisket and potatoes for it, and also prepared a large plate of rice.

Snorlax stared blankly at the vine, then reached out, took the plate, and stuffed it into its mouth along with the plate.

"You can't eat the plate!" Tengshu quickly interrupted Snorlax's idea of ​​eating the plate as well.

Fortunately, the rescue was timely. Although the rice and beef brisket with potatoes on top had already been swallowed by Snorlax, it hadn't had time to swallow the plate.

A gurgling sound came from Snorlax's stomach as it stared blankly at the vine.

Tengshu simply handed the entire pot of potato and beef brisket to Snorlax, and also poured all the rice and other vegetables into the pot.

A huge pot of food landed in Snorlax's hands, but it felt as if it had no weight. Snorlax picked up the pot, lifted it up, and started gulping the food into its mouth.

Even the vines seemed a little frightened by what they saw.

"Gah!" Little Black had finished eating and landed on the vine tree, preening its feathers while curiously looking at the big guy in front of it.

Snorlax has an average height of 2.1 meters, which is not short and is much taller than most ordinary people.

Although Snorlax was sitting on the ground, its size still appeared enormous.

"Dean, is this Snorlax also an abandoned Pokémon?" Dawn couldn't help but ask as she leaned closer. Her voice was very soft, as if she was worried about disturbing the Snorlax that was eating in front of her.

"No." Teng Shu shook his head decisively; there was no Snorlax in his orphanage.

Moreover, Snorlax is a very special Pokémon.

Because of Snorlax's enormous appetite, most of the time, if Snorlax is abandoned, the League will organize to send it back into the wild. Only after evaluation and finding it unsuitable for release into the wild will it be placed in an orphanage, and an adopter will be found immediately.

After all, Snorlax has a huge appetite, and keeping it in an orphanage would pose a huge challenge to the orphanage's finances.

Because Snorlax has a huge appetite, there are relatively few trainers willing to raise it; only those who are not short of money will choose to raise it.

The only thing Tengshu was struggling with now was whether the Snorlax in front of him was wild or abandoned.

If it's a wild Snorlax, then it might just be attracted by the smell of the braised beef and potatoes made by the vine tree. Just let it leave after it finishes eating.

However, if it's an abandoned Snorlax, then you'll have to contact the League to handle it.

By this time, Snorlax had finished eating and returned the bucket to the vine.

"Wow, they really finished eating? So much!" The other volunteers had also finished eating by now.

Dongshimiao strode over to Tengshu's side, rubbed against Tengshu's pants, and then warily stared at the Snorlax in front of it.

After Snorlax put down the bucket, it slowly got up, then patted itself down, and then, from who knows where, it pulled out a silver feather and handed it to the vine.

Teng Shu took it with a puzzled look. Snorlax waved its hand and then wobbled towards the courtyard wall.

Then, surrounded by Tengshu and a group of Pokémon and volunteers, Snorlax simply vaulted over the courtyard wall.

Watching the enormous Snorlax climb the wall, Teng Shu worried that the wall of his orphanage might not be able to hold up and would be destroyed by the Snorlax.

Fortunately, the wall held up, and a loud noise came from the other side, followed by silence.

"This is really..." Teng Shu looked at the feather in his hand. It was a silver feather, very light in his hand, and surprisingly nice to the touch. Touching the feather felt like touching silk.

Teng Shu felt that the feather in front of him looked somewhat familiar.

Chapter 18 President! I really want to improve!

“Silver feathers… I feel like I’ve seen them somewhere before, but I can’t quite place them.” Teng Shu looked at the feathers in his hand.

However, it doesn't seem to be anything very important, since there's nothing unusual about the feather.

When you hold it in your hand, it feels very silky smooth, like touching silk. Besides that, the color is also very beautiful.

However, Tengshu also knew that there were many bird Pokémon in the Pokémon world, and their feathers already had a complete processing system.

Previously, Teng Shu had seen a rainbow-colored feather in a specialty store in Evergreen City, but after thinking for a long time, he still couldn't figure out what Pokémon's feather it could be.

As for Ho-Oh?

That's even more impossible.

Ho-Oh is a legendary Pokémon; it would be strange if its feathers were so plentiful that they could be found in stores.

It wasn't until he read the brochure next to him that Tengshu realized that these feathers were made by selecting high-quality feathers from other bird Pokémon, painting them, and selling them as handicrafts.

"Silver, it couldn't possibly be Lugia's feather, could it?" A thought flashed through Teng Shu's mind, but then he couldn't help but laugh.

Are you kidding me? If this thing really was Lugia's feather, would it end up in Snorlax's hands?

It's probably a craft item someone else bought, which Snorlax found and put on its body.

“This feather looks like… a local specialty craft from the City of the Capital region, it seems to sell for 100 Alliance Coins.” A volunteer recognized the feather and even showed it to Teng Shu on his phone.

There was also a silver feather hanging on it, similar to this one.

Seeing this, Teng Shu smiled and put the feather away. Although it was a craft item, it was still paid for by Snorlax, so it should be quite nice as decoration.

Immediately afterwards, Teng Shu brought the food for Tong Ou Xiong to the infirmary.

In the infirmary, Tong Ou Xiong was lying in the treatment pod. However, Tong Ou Xiong looked better, and the terrible erosions on his body had stopped oozing pus.

However, the damage was still there, and Teng Shu felt it might take a few more days to heal.

Teng Shu put on a mask, pressed the button on the medical pod, and the pod door opened. Only then did Teng Shu pick up a spoon to feed the teddy bear.

Although Tongou Bear is unable to eat normal food due to illness, Tengshu has ground the potato and beef brisket into potato and beef paste, and now the aroma is even more intense.

The spoon was handed over, and the teddy bear licked it clean in two bites. Teng Shu smiled; it seemed to be recovering quite well.

It truly lives up to its reputation as cutting-edge technology; if it claims to be able to treat, then it really is.

The teddy bear looks much better today than yesterday, and it's eating much faster.

After they finished eating, Teng Shu put the plate away, wiped Tong Ou Xiong's mouth, and then closed the medical pod door.

"Luckily, the medical pod has a self-cleaning function..." Teng Shu looked at the teddy bear in the medical pod, its little head facing him. Teng Shu felt that the teddy bear might be looking at him, so he smiled and waved before closing the door of the infirmary.

Taking care of patients is not an easy task. The daily waste produced by patients alone can be overwhelming for a group of people, not to mention that some patients are unable to take care of themselves and may cause a bed to break at any time.

Fortunately, the medical pod was a piece of advanced technology that came with the orphanage, so it had its own cleaning system. All the filth was sent to a pool below the orphanage for sorting and processing, which made Teng Shu's work much simpler.

Teng Shu could understand this. After all, reality is reality, not a game. In a game, you can clean it up with one click, but in reality, it's already a good thing if you don't have to do it yourself.

After looking after the teddy bear, Teng Shu returned to his office and began to handle the day's tasks.

"There are no adoption notices yet, and no Pokémon have been delivered... Alright, we can go home now!" Teng Shu stood up.

Then he sat back down.

Heh, easy jobs belong to others. Although he, as the director of the welfare home, wasn't assigned to these two main duties, the welfare home was still under the jurisdiction of the alliance.

so...

Study Plan Regarding the Three Development Guidelines for a Civilized Changqing City Issued at the Changqing City High-Level Meeting of the Kanto Alliance

The Pokémon League High-Level Meeting's Strategy for Making the Pokémon League Great Again

"Long-term plan for the development of welfare institutions in the Kanto region: five summaries and seven key points"

...

Looking at this series of things he needed to learn, Teng Shu's face darkened.

"If I weren't tied to the job of the orphanage director, I really would like to climb the ladder in the officialdom..." Teng Shu pinched the bridge of his nose. Right now, all he wanted to do was play a little tune about progress, then hug the leg of the Kanto Alliance chairman and say loudly.

"President, I really want to improve!"

"Study, study, damn it, in my past life I had to learn some kind of wolf culture from those idiots in the company, and when the wolf culture was gone, I started learning success studies, and now I have to learn it all after transmigrating?" Teng Shu typed on the keyboard with deep resentment.
