I run an orphanage in the Pokémon world.

A good natural environment is a good thing for many people, but anyone who has actually lived in such a place knows that while the air is great and there are green plants everywhere, there are also a lot of insects.

Especially in cities like Changqing, where the climate is relatively mild, the natural environment is good, and all kinds of insects become more numerous. Winter is still relatively better, but in the summer, Tengshu feels that he has to keep the screen windows closed at all times.

"It seems that too many plants in the orphanage are not good, and we also need to keep some insect repellent on hand..." Teng Shu realized what his orphanage was lacking. However, he planned to go to Evergreen City tomorrow to buy some insect repellent and insecticide. Although not every Pokémon will be bothered by bugs, it is always good to take precautions.

Teng Shu looked at Slowpoke and then realized that Slowpoke had fallen asleep while he was catching bugs for it, and now bubbles were coming out of its nose.

"...It really does bubble." Teng Shu looked at the little snot bubbles on Slowpoke's nose and was both amused and exasperated. However, this was not a place to sleep. Sleeping in the wild like this for a night would either kill him with insect bites or make him freeze to death.

So Tengshu moved the car aside before picking up Slowpoke.

As soon as he picked him up, by the light of the halogen lamp in the orphanage, Teng Shu saw two cute little black creatures eagerly jump onto him. Teng Shu didn't mind; he had tried before, and mosquitoes had crawled on him for an hour without breaking his skin.

If it weren't for the annoying buzzing of the mosquito, Tengshu might have continued to watch how long the mosquito planned to hover over him.

Holding Slowpoke, Tengshu took it back to his dormitory. However, when he was about to enter the dormitory, he thought of the vampires that were jumping around, so he decided to give Slowpoke a bath first.

While taking a bath, Tengshu casually crushed more than a dozen small insects to death.

"Roar!" Just after washing up, the Abandoned Monkey rushed in, struck a strange pose, and then saw Tengshu squatting inside, drying Slowpoke's body. Its expression visibly turned awkward.

Teng Shu almost laughed, but he held it in.

"Ahem, Abandoned Monkey, this... action..." Teng Shu originally intended to comfort the Abandoned Monkey who had almost died from the accident, but then he noticed that the Abandoned Monkey's action was a bit strange. Coupled with the stick that the Abandoned Monkey was hiding behind his back but couldn't be hidden because it was too long, Teng Shu realized something. The Abandoned Monkey seemed to be cosplaying, and it was cosplaying as the Monkey King.

"Have you read Journey to the West?" Teng Shu's expression was somewhat subtle.

During this period, Journey to the West has gained some fame. At least before, if you searched for Journey to the West on the internet, you probably wouldn't find anything. But now, you can find Teng Shu's comics and even some news articles.

Fantasy Comic: Journey to the West Creates a New Volume Release Legend

The article, titled "The Ghostly Cartoonist Takes You to Unveil the Past and Present of 'Journey to the West'," was filled with all sorts of bizarre titles, making Teng Shu's scalp tingle. However, Teng Shu was still quite happy, at least because Journey to the West was popular, which meant that Teng Shu could earn a lot of royalties.

The abandoned monkey covered its face in shame, then ran away quickly and disappeared in an instant.

Immediately afterward, Teng Shu heard a loud bang. He peeked out and saw that the door was still shaking. It seemed that the Abandoned Monkey had been too excited and had crashed into it. Teng Shu was both amused and exasperated. What was wrong with reading Journey to the West? He drew it!

Teng Shu wished everyone in the entire alliance would love watching Journey to the West, so that he could become rich and replace all the things in the orphanage with the best, providing these abandoned little ones with a good living environment.

After settling Slowpoke, Tengshu left the dormitory. He didn't go looking for Abandoned Monkey. Given the current situation, Tengshu felt that if he went to Abandoned Monkey, the monkey would probably be so ashamed that it would want to smash its head against the wall. To avoid such a thing from happening, Tengshu decisively gave up on going to find Abandoned Monkey.

After changing his clothes, Teng Shu planned to continue his inspection of the orphanage. However, this time, a bear wearing armor followed behind Teng Shu, which inexplicably reminded Teng Shu of that classic scene.

A woman being stalked by a monster, then suddenly a tokusatsu character appears from the side...

Well, now he's the one being followed instead of the woman, but thankfully, there aren't usually any monsters following him.

"..."

Teng Shu walked silently outside the orphanage, looking at the bear-like creature beside him. The creature was looking back suspiciously. Under such circumstances, Teng Shu couldn't help but look back a few times as well, but he couldn't see anything. However, it has to be said that the bear-like creature's actions successfully made the whole atmosphere a bit eerie.

"Big Black, what are you looking at?" Sensing the surprise and doubt on Big Black's face, Teng Shu couldn't help but ask.

Wearing a bear costume, Dahei was gesturing wildly, which Teng Shu couldn't understand. He could only guess that Dahei seemed to be saying something like "look at something".

Teng Shu couldn't help but turn his head to look again, but he didn't sense any emotions nearby.

While Viridian's Power is useful, it is not omnipotent and has limitations. On one hand, Viridian can only sense the emotions of Pokémon. On the other hand, even if it is a Pokémon, if the Pokémon is spacing out or not showing much emotional fluctuation, Viridian will not be able to sense it.

Humans cannot sense it.

So now Tengshu is a little confused about what the bear-wearing guy is looking at.

Thinking of this, Teng Shu took out his phone, turned on the video recording mode, and walked while pointing the phone at the back of him. He planned to take a picture, just in case he could capture it and then solve the problem.

When they arrived at the back of the orphanage, Teng Shu still didn't see any Pokémon, and the video recording had been going on for a while.

Chapter 219 Zoroark sends New Year's greetings to Tengshu—a whole host of ulterior motives

Teng Shu took out his phone and glanced at it; the total duration was two minutes and twenty-three seconds.

During this time, Bewear looked back many times, acting suspiciously, which made Tengshu walk much faster. Tengshu has decided that if he doesn't see anything unusual, he won't bring Bewear on his next night patrol. Other Pokémon are relaxing to have with him, but Bewear is making him nervous.

When the video on the phone was played, Teng Shu's walking speed slowed down considerably.

Although it was very dark at night and the phone could barely record anything, thanks to the lights around Tengshu's orphanage, some blurry images were still captured. Tengshu looked at half of these images but didn't notice anything unusual.

Just as Teng Shu was wondering if wearing the bear costume was too stressful, leading to this situation, he noticed a white object suddenly appearing in the dimly lit video. Teng Shu paused and zoomed in for a look, and he could vaguely make out a human shape, but it was too dark to see exactly what it was. Teng Shu's phone wasn't very good; it was already quite impressive that it had captured this much footage.

However, Teng Shu is now certain that something is indeed following him.

Tengshu continued playing the recording. The white thing would disappear into the woods from time to time, and sometimes it would follow behind him. Tengshu didn't know if it was just his imagination, but he always felt that the thing was getting closer and closer. When the recording finally stopped, the white thing was gone again, so Tengshu couldn't figure out what the white thing was.

"A ghost? Was it attracted by the Death Lighthouse?" Teng Shu thought of the Death Lighthouse, an AFK building in his cemetery. This thing would automatically attract the dead to be reincarnated, but since it was an AFK product, Teng Shu didn't plan to go and take a look.

He plans to wait until winter is over before going to check again, hoping to accumulate more items and perhaps even draw something good, which would be the most valuable thing.

Teng Shu turned his head, but there was still...

Ok.

Teng Shu saw it; the white figure was following behind him, about twenty meters away.

The bear standing nearby noticed and let out a wary roar. Teng Shu admitted that he was a little scared, after all, watching a horror movie and seeing a ghost in person are two different things. However, Teng Shu still picked up the flashlight, turned on the high-power mode, and instantly, it was dawn.

Teng Shu also saw the white figure.

She wore a white dress stained with blood, her long black hair hung down naturally, obscuring her face, and her hands and feet were deathly pale—a classic ghost look straight out of a movie. Moreover, Teng Shu still couldn't sense her emotions.

"Forget it, let's go." Teng Shu lost interest. Since it was a ghost, there was nothing to be afraid of. Compared to seeing a ghost, Teng Shu felt that seeing a perverted killer with a knife was more terrifying. Although Xiong Chui had some doubts, he still chose to follow Teng Shu.

Tengshu wasn't particularly interested in this ghost. He had been drawn here by the Lighthouse of Death anyway. Although the Lighthouse of Death hadn't been very noticeable lately, it had been working quietly. Sometimes when Tengshu patrolled, he would encounter strange ghosts. These ghosts seemed to retain their last appearance before death, so Tengshu saw some rather bizarre ghosts, such as those with disheveled hair or those with split heads.

The most outrageous one was shaped like minced meat; I have no idea what it went through.

When Teng Shu returned to the orphanage, the strange female ghost had also disappeared. It was unknown whether she had been sucked into the Death Lighthouse to be reincarnated or was wandering outside. However, wandering was none of Teng Shu's business. Teng Shu simply went back to his bedroom, washed up, climbed into bed, and started scrolling through his phone.

At this moment, Teng Shu felt that the happiest thing in life was being able to lie in a warm quilt in the cold winter, scroll through videos on his phone and have some fun, without having to think about anything else, just enjoying himself.

Teng Shu stretched, put down his phone, turned off the light, yawned, and prepared to go to sleep.

Just as Tengshu was about to go to sleep, he saw a woman leaning against the window, staring at him with bloodshot eyes. This eerie scene instantly banished his sleepiness.

"Zoroark, that's enough." Tengshu said irritably. Hearing Tengshu's words, the female ghost became somewhat incredulous. Then, she lifted her hair, and her face looked much more normal.

"Huh? Tengshu, how did you know it was mine?" Zoroark was somewhat surprised. This was a brilliant idea that came to it on a whim! It never expected that Tengshu would see through it. This was truly amazing.

"I was just bluffing you." Teng Shu breathed a sigh of relief, but he had only just thought of it. After all, no one but Zoroark would be so bored as to think of something scary. Moreover, Teng Shu had met Zoroark before and knew his personality to some extent. This guy was a typical person with a terrible personality.

Zoroark pursed his lips, then knocked on the glass. Tengshu reluctantly opened the window and let the guy in. As soon as he came in, Tengshu smelled a fragrance.

Then Zoroark pulled out a bag of barbecue from behind him and put it on the table.

"Want some?" Zoroark smiled at Tengshu. It had changed its appearance again, becoming a blonde loli who looked remarkably like a certain loser. Looking at Zoroark like this, Tengshu had reason to suspect that it only liked to transform into women. Why were all of its appearances female?

Teng Shu didn't stand on ceremony. He was the type who didn't gain weight easily no matter how much he ate, so having a late-night snack was fine with him. Of course, having a late-night snack wasn't a particularly good habit, as it could easily burden his stomach and intestines. It was better not to eat it if possible.

"Why did you suddenly decide to have barbecue with me?" Teng Shu asked Zoroark suspiciously.

It wasn't that Teng Shu was being paranoid, but Zoroark always had some ulterior motives when he treated people to meals or anything like that.

"Ahem...Could I borrow your car to hang a banner?" Zoroark rubbed his paws together, looking at Teng Shu expectantly.

"Get lost." Teng Shu rolled his eyes and decisively rejected Zoroark's wishful thinking.

This guy is really daring; he wants to borrow a car without a driver's license?

There are countless roads, but safety is the most important.

"Actually..." Zoroark began to say something, but then Tengshu saw that a Pokémon had appeared at the window at some point.

A Pokémon with its back bent, head down, and a little creature inside its belly.

Although the other party didn't speak or make a sound, the intense sense of pressure they exuded made it clear that they were not to be trifled with.

Dominator Kangaskhan!

Chapter 220 Marrying the Overlord Beast, Enjoying a Blissful Life

Teng Shu was quite certain that this guy was the Overlord Kangaskhan, after all, just by looking at its stance, you could tell that this guy was terrifyingly strong.

But at this moment, the dominant Kangaskhan made a shushing gesture at Tengshu, and then slowly squatted down. Tengshu couldn't help but swallow hard at the sight of its bulging muscles. It has to be said that Kangaskhan's physique is truly amazing.

"...Let me tell you, that old guy in Viridian Forest is really annoying. I just said a few words to him, and he comes out to hunt me down every day. And his kids don't come out either. He's obviously an old child..." Zoroark was completely oblivious to the horror that followed. It kept talking non-stop, making Tengshu's scalp tingle.

The Kangaskhan didn't make a move, simply perched on the windowsill, quietly watching Zoroark, while the baby Kangaskhan in its arms...

Teng Shu wanted to rub his eyes because he saw the little Kangaskhan exercising by lifting something that looked very heavy. With each lift, Teng Shu could see the little Kangaskhan's full muscles.

"...Who among those old folks in Viridian Forest doesn't know that the Overlord is a pedophile? His Viridian dialect is so bad, even I, an old Viridian native, can't understand it. Only we old Viridian people speak the authentic way~" Zoroark's spittle almost flew onto Tengshu's face.

Teng Shu silently took a step back.

Whether the Totem Kangaskhan's dialect was authentic or not, Tengshu didn't know, but he knew that Zoroark was about to suffer a terrible fate. Kangaskhan's expression was very calm, while the little Kangaskhan was already jumping and throwing punches. It was obvious that it was a Pokémon that had systematically learned boxing. One punch from it would probably make Zoroark cry.

"Also, I heard last time that this overlord is an exceptionally domineering guy. Its mate is bullied by it every day. What's that saying again? Marry the overlord of Viridian and enjoy a blissful life, hahahaha~" Zoroark laughed until tears streamed down his face, and Teng Shu fell silent for a moment.

He suddenly remembered that Kangaskhan are all female Pokémon, and he had never seen a male one. So this Totem Kangaskhan must also be female, and it's so strong. It's really hard to understand.

With a crisp "thud," Teng Shu rubbed his face. He was certain that the Kangaskhan had done it on purpose. After all, the Kangaskhan hadn't made a sound when it jumped up, so how could it suddenly make a sound? Clearly, the Kangaskhan was faking it.

Sure enough, Zoroark heard the sound of the Kangaskhan landing. Its expression froze, and you could still see the tears that had been left in the corners of its eyes from laughing too happily.

"...Dean Tengshu, this behind me..." Zoroark pointed stiffly behind him, asking with a complicated expression. Tengshu nodded silently, knowing what Zoroark wanted to ask.

When he saw Teng Shu nod, Zoroark's face turned pale.

This overlord is no ordinary creature; it can even easily defeat Ghost Pokémon. Last time, a Gengar from another region tried to seize the overlord position of Viridian Forest, but it was severely beaten by this Kangaskhan, almost to the point of being half-dead. A single Focus Blast blasted the Gengar away, leaving all the Pokémon present gasping in shock.

And now, this overlord, who is extremely skilled in close combat, stands right behind it.

"What I just said..." Zoroark's voice trembled. It could already feel the powerful aura behind it, and the Totem Kangaskhan's combat power was still increasing!

“I heard everything. It came the moment you started complaining.” Teng Shu sighed. Zoroark was silent for a moment after hearing this, then his body stopped trembling. Then, Zoroark pulled out a pack of cigarettes from somewhere and took one out.

He lowered his head, shielded his eyes from the wind, lit the fire, and then put it in his mouth.

"Phew... Tengshu, I'll come find you for barbecue again next time." Zoroark waved his hand casually, then turned around. As he turned, Zoroark's appearance changed to that of a middle-aged man wearing a trench coat. A gust of wind blew Zoroark's trench coat into the air.

"Let's go, Overlord." Zoroark left gracefully, and the Overlord, not wanting to disturb Tengshu, also left, leaving Tengshu sitting silently in his chair, looking at the barbecue in front of him.

That’s it for now, let’s eat first.

...

The next day, Tengshu got out of bed at the usual time. He glanced out the window and saw a foggy view. The temperature had dropped three degrees compared to yesterday, but it was still within Tengshu's tolerance range.

"I wonder how that Zoroark guy is doing." Teng Shu looked at the bamboo skewers in the trash can and couldn't help but think of Zoroark yesterday. Although that guy didn't forget to show off before leaving, it has to be said that he put on a very appropriate show. Teng Shu couldn't help but want to applaud at the time.

However, looking at the appearance of that dominant Kangaskhan yesterday, Tengshu felt that it would be great if Zoroark could survive.

After changing his clothes, Teng Shu left early. He planned to make an inspection first, then prepare breakfast, and after breakfast, he would drive his small truck to Changqing City to buy the deworming medicine he needed.

Slowpoke's condition is not good, and Slowpoke especially likes to stay outside and daydream, which increases the likelihood of Slowpoke getting bitten by insects many times over. Therefore, Tengshu must also buy insect repellent.

After making his usual rounds, nothing happened. Teng Shu's biggest feeling was that it was getting colder and colder in the mornings, so buying a car was definitely the right choice.

"Good morning, Director." As soon as Teng Shu returned to the orphanage, he saw Locke. The guy was still riding his motorcycle, dressed very warmly in thick clothes, including a motorcycle helmet, which looked quite warm.

However, Teng Shu also noticed that there was another person in the back seat of Locke's car.

A boy who is somewhat peculiar.

“I met him on the road. I asked him, and he was also coming to the orphanage, so I brought him here.” Locke took off his helmet, gave a thumbs up, and revealed a youthful smile.

Teng Shu almost thought he had wandered onto the wrong film set.

"You are... Professor Oak's grandson, Qinglu?" Tengshu looked at the boy in front of him. Although the boy was also wrapped up very thickly, Tengshu still recognized him. After all, he had searched for Professor Oak's information online before and saw Qinglu in the photos.

A boy who is somewhat handsome in real life.

But he's still just a child.

Chapter 221 Green

Qinglu is a very special character. She is quite strong and has even reached the champion position in the game. However, Qinglu is still just a child.

"Good morning, Dean Tengshu. I am Qinglu, Professor Oak's grandson. I've come here specifically to express my gratitude to you." Qinglu also climbed off the motorcycle and handed the bag next to him to Tengshu.

Tengshu accepted it politely, but he was a little confused. He felt that he hadn't really helped Professor Oak much. If he had to say, it was that when Professor Oak's Pokémon was captured, it was brought to him for a day or two. However, Professor Oak had given him a generous reward for that, so Tengshu felt that they were even.

"Professor Oak, you're too kind," Teng Shu said politely, then led Qing Lü into the orphanage.
