I run an orphanage in the Pokémon world.

Tengshu also noticed that there were two Poké Balls on Qinglv's belt. It seems that Qinglv has already gone on a trip. He wondered what Qinglv's journey would be like, but thinking about it carefully, as Professor Oak's grandson, he couldn't be too bad.

Ash in the anime changes his Pokémon every time he moves to a new region, which is also thanks to Professor Oak's help.

As soon as Teng Shu entered the welfare home, he was about to introduce the basic situation of the welfare home to Qing Lü when he saw Little Stone and Wrist Strength pushing a large box containing a lot of fitness equipment.

"This is..." Qinglu was somewhat surprised. What was going on?

Looking at this scene, Teng Shu had some guesses. He could roughly guess what these Pokémon were doing: they were training, they were trying, and they were regretting.

This is regret for what they couldn't do back then. Although Tengshu doesn't think they can be blamed, after all, although Pokémon are quite strong, it's not easy to save a car full of people from a near-vertical cliff. Without a point of leverage, and having to withstand gravitational potential energy, unless it's a legendary Pokémon, it's really difficult.

The bus overturned on Quartz Plateau. The bus driver accidentally dozed off while driving. He was very sleepy and had been driving for a long time. In that brief moment of drowsiness, he floored the accelerator, and the bus crashed through the guardrail and flew off.

By the time the Pokémon realized they had been thrown out and tried to stop themselves, it was too late. The powerful kinetic energy, combined with the lack of any foothold, led to this tragedy.

"...Let them exercise, maybe that will help them." Locke sighed. He could see what was being done; he could even see the bulging veins and bulging veins on the wrist, a sign of exerting maximum force.

Little Geodude was also training with weights beyond his limits, and Tengshu watched this scene with a deep gaze.

The accident is over, it took lives, left behind news, the grief of families, and the suffering of survivors. If these Pokémon knew how to let go, or rather, to be more detached, they could move on quickly and perhaps even live a fulfilling life. But these Pokémon cannot move on; they are already 'dead'.

He died the moment the bus overturned.

A cold wind blows, the sun rises, and it's the perfect day to lie in a warm bed, scrolling through your phone. But some Pokémon are forever trapped in that cold winter.

Tengshu explained to Qinglu in a low voice, otherwise, if people who did not know the truth saw it, they might mistakenly think that Tengshu's orphanage was a black-hearted factory that exploited Pokémon, which would not be acceptable.

Upon hearing this, Green realized what the Pokémon were doing. His eyes instantly turned red and bloodshot. Tengshu watched this scene in silence.

"Dean Tengshu...can they be adopted?" Qinglu asked in a low voice. Tengshu didn't answer immediately after hearing the question; he was also thinking about it.

The orphanage not only bears the responsibility of adopting and caring for Pokémon, but also the responsibility of determining whether a Pokémon meets the adoption requirements and qualifications. It can be said that whether a Pokémon that enters the orphanage is adopted and lives a new life of its own, or is released back into the wild to lick its wounds, depends entirely on Tengshu.

The League will not interfere or intervene; it will only decide on the Pokémon's next course of action based on the reports submitted by Tengshu. This power did not make Tengshu arrogant or indulgent, nor did it make him feel that he also controlled the life and death of Pokémon. On the contrary, it made Tengshu more cautious.

Because he knew that every choice he made would lead the story in a different direction, and that life wasn't a game where you could reload and start over, Teng Shu was always very cautious in making his decisions.

But what about these five Pokémon in front of us?

The vine could sense the regret and remorse in their hearts, as well as their determination to turn this grief into strength. These five Pokémon seemed to have found their path to the future.

Are they suitable for adoption?

Teng Shu felt it wasn't quite suitable.

These five Pokémon are not the kind that can be easily put down or simply put aside in one's mind.

Teng Shu understands that some people may react differently when faced with pain.

Some people are indifferent and don't feel any pain at all. Some people seem to be in great pain, crying their hearts out for days and wishing they could die, but they can quickly recover in a day or two. Others don't seem to be in much pain on the surface, but in the dead of night, they hide under their blankets and lick their wounds. Even years later, they will think about it and cry with pain.

Although Teng Shu had only been in contact with these little guys for about a day, he could tell how much pain they were in.

"Let's observe for a while longer." Teng Shu took a deep breath.

Machop and Geodude are relatively easy Pokémon to adopt, since these two Pokémon are capable of doing some physical labor and are considered by many ordinary families. They are also very popular among miners or those who do heavy physical work.

However, Tengshu needs to observe these five little guys carefully to see how they are doing and what their mindset is. Once he has determined their fate, he will decide where these little guys will end up.

Qinglu unconsciously adjusted the backpack on her back.

He remembered that his grandfather, Professor Oak, had told him this when he was preparing to go on a trip.

"No matter what kind of Pokémon it is, don't treat them as your pets, treat them as your family."

Chapter 222 Who hasn't had a frustrating experience looking back on it after growing up?

Blue, Professor Oak's grandson, is a somewhat well-known figure in the Kanto region.

Don't underestimate this name. The Kanto region is neither very big nor very small, but to be well-known throughout the entire Kanto region is not something that just anyone can do.

However, Blue Green has never been happy because of his fame, and he knows very well that his fame is due to his grandfather, Professor Oak.

A Pokémon professor who was very famous in the Kanto League region and was once quite strong.

Because he has a grandfather, Qinglu is able to become famous. If he were just an ordinary family's child, who would know him after leaving Pallet Town?

So Bluegreen wants to become famous. He wants people to know that his name is Bluegreen, not as "Oh, Professor Oak's grandson," but as "So you're Bluegreen." That's enough for Bluegreen, and that's what he's pursuing. Bluegreen has been walking down this path, and now he's embarked on his journey.

Blue originally planned to collect gym badges, win the Indigo League championship, and then challenge the Elite Four. If he could win, he would continue to challenge Lance, the champion, and see if he could forge his own path in the Pokémon League.

However, upon arriving in Viridian City, Blue felt that he might need to take some time to reflect and think more about his relationship with Pokémon.

The end of the paper is so shallow that I know that this matter must be carried out.

Although Professor Oak had told him about Pokémon many times, Blue hadn't listened very carefully. But now, looking at these Pokémon that had become like this because of an accident that couldn't be blamed on them, Blue seemed to have some other thoughts.

Dean Tengshu and the doctor named Locke left; they had other things to do. Qinglu, however, was there as a guest. Although she had delivered the gifts her grandfather had given her, Qinglu wanted to stay a little longer.

He wanted to see the Pokémon in this orphanage, to see these abandoned, discarded, or forcibly separated Pokémon from their trainers.

The cold wind howled, brushing against Qinglu's green face, but Qinglu seemed oblivious. He simply watched the wrist strength and fist stones training in front of him, when suddenly something occurred to him.

A year ago, Qinglv was still helping her grandfather, Professor Oak, with Pokémon research and investigation at the research institute in Pallet Town. While conducting research, her grandfather received a phone call and then went to attend the funeral of an old classmate with a sorrowful expression. Qinglv didn't say anything about it, after all, her grandfather was old, and even in the Pokémon world, people die.

What made Qinglv remember this event from a year ago was that when his grandfather came back, he showed him a video taken at the funeral. In the video, there were five elderly Pokémon standing in the row of their immediate family members.

Back then, Qinglv was puzzled as to why Pokémon could stand in the row of their direct relatives, but now Qinglv knows.

Those who died in that accident left this world forever. Their relatives and friends might visit their families during holidays, but they won't remember them forever. Their families might remember them forever, or maybe for a few years or a decade, and then forget them. But these Pokémon might remember them for a lifetime.

"That guy named Qinglv seems to have some insights?" Locke sat in the cafeteria, resting his chin on his hand, playing with his phone, and chatting with Teng Shu.

Teng Shu was making breakfast. After he finished, he would go to buy deworming medicine for Slowpoke. Although it was winter, these annoying bugs had not all died out, which was a real pity.

"Young people, you know," Teng Shu said calmly. Young people are always prone to having ideas, especially Qing Lü, who is young and carefree. Moreover, she comes from a wealthy family and doesn't need to worry about anything except pursuing her own path, let alone money.

When people have free time, they tend to think about this and that, and after thinking about it for a while, they don't even know what they're thinking about.

When Teng Shu was young and impetuous, he once strolled arrogantly in the drizzle, as if he were the only one who was sober in a world of drunks. Looking back now that he's grown up, he realizes it's something that makes him blush with shame even in the middle of the night, and he feels incredibly embarrassed.

"I don't think Machop and Geodude can easily let go of this. Although I don't fully understand their personalities yet, it's clear that these Pokémon have rather simple and honest personalities." Locke changed the subject. He didn't care about Green's matter. Although the other party was Professor Oak's grandson, that was all that mattered.

Qinglu is now more concerned about her current job.

"Hmm, I think... they probably don't want to be adopted." Teng Shu paused for a moment while making breakfast.

Although it is indeed an orphanage, not just any Pokémon can be adopted. Tengshu is well aware of this. There was a Tauros that was sent here before. After observing it for a while, Tengshu found that it longed for freedom and yearned to run freely. After filling out the report, he released the Tauros, which brought Tengshu a lot of happiness.

Teng Shu knew back then that the orphanage didn't only have adoption as an option; releasing them back into the wild was also a good choice. However, it depended on the Pokémon's own wishes. If a Pokémon wanted to be released, it could get Happiness Points, and quite a lot of them. After thinking about it, Teng Shu felt that releasing them might be like buying them outright, while adoption was more like renting them out.

After all, as more and more Pokémon are adopted, Tengshu's Happiness Points will increase at the end of each month, while releasing them doesn't seem to increase them.

"So, should we release them?" Locke was obviously familiar with the orphanage's procedures. He looked at Teng Shu and asked, and Teng Shu frowned slightly upon hearing this.

Releasing them back into the wild was the orphanage's second option. After all, releasing Pokémon was acceptable, and Tengshu himself didn't mind. However, judging from Machop and Geodude's expressions, Tengshu knew that this matter would likely remain a sword hanging over their hearts.

Releasing them like this doesn't seem like the best approach...

Teng Shu scratched his head; this was a bit of a problem.

"Alright, I'll take another look and see. I'll also ask these little guys what they think." Tengshu made up his mind. Ultimately, this matter depended on the Pokémon's opinions, and then Tengshu would make a judgment based on their performance.

Locke, of course, neither confirmed nor denied this.

"Uncle Tengshu!" Just as Tengshu was busy cooking, the three little girls came again, and Locke's face turned green.

Chapter 223 Pikachu Likes Vine Trees

"That old bastard Locke is really unlucky." Teng Shu sat in his small truck, then put the car keys inside, turned on the heater, and closed the windows, making the whole truck feel much warmer.

Teng Shu had just finished making breakfast and entertained the three sisters, Qing Lü, and the little ones from the orphanage. With the help of the three sisters' loving caregivers, Teng Shu was much more relaxed and could go directly to Changqing City to buy medicine.

But to everyone's surprise, the three sisters weren't in a hurry to go back today. Instead, they stayed at the orphanage, planning to have lunch there and leave in the afternoon when the weather improved.

So here's the question: with Tengshu gone and Qinglv a complete stranger, who will the three sisters bother with?

Of course, it's Uncle Locke, gentle and kind, knowledgeable and reasonable, and knowledgeable in everything from astronomy to geography!

After starting the car, Teng Shu left the welfare home and drove towards Changqing City. When passing through the grove, Teng Shu glanced at the grove, which looked somewhat desolate because of the yellowing and falling leaves, and then honked the horn.

There was no movement from the bushes.

Teng Shu's lips twitched.

Come to think of it, he forgot to tell Pikachu that he had changed his bike, so Pikachu probably only remembers the bicycle bell.

So Teng Shu opened the car window and shouted outside, and only then did a commotion come from the bushes.

A moment later, Pikachu emerged from the dead branches, its little head curiously looking at the vine tree and the vine tree's little truck.

"Pikachu, I've changed cars. From now on, you can come out when you hear this horn." Tengshu honked the horn, and Pikachu immediately nodded. It had seen this kind of car before, but it didn't like it.

Because none of those were Tengshu's cars.

Although the vine's little bicycle was dilapidated and very retro, for Pikachu, that little bicycle was a testament to its friendship with the vine, and also the vehicle that fed it and allowed its family to survive.

However, Pikachu immediately transferred this emotion to the vine's new ride. For Pikachu, it didn't matter what the vine drove, as long as it was a vine, that was enough.

Seeing Pikachu about to come up, Tengshu didn't open the door immediately.

"Pikachu, do you have fleas or lice on your body?" Tengshu asked Pikachu. Pikachu paused for a moment, then immediately nodded.

Pokémon living in the wild cannot avoid this problem, or even Pokémon living in the city have to face this problem. After all, there are many fleas and lice in the city, so Pikachu and his family naturally have them. However, because Pikachu's partner often helps it and its children catch fleas in the cave, there aren't that many, but there are still some.

Seeing Pikachu nod, Tengshu smiled. It was good that they had it. Tengshu planned to use Pikachu and his family to test the effectiveness of the insect repellent. Besides, the weather outside was still cold. If he brought Pikachu in, Pikachu would probably be embarrassed to take more food, and Tengshu wouldn't feel comfortable giving it to him. This was a good opportunity to get some.

So, when Tengshu started the car, Pikachu and his family were sitting in the passenger seat of the small truck.

Pichu was the most mischievous, eager to practice with Tengshu how his father expressed affection.

However, he was stopped by his father's cold stare and obediently huddled next to his mother to sleep.

The car was warm, and this extreme temperature difference made Pichu doze off as soon as he got in.

Tengshu drove leisurely to the familiar little store. After all, in addition to selling fertilizers and pollen cakes, they also sold insect repellent and the like. Tengshu had seen it before, but never thought of buying it. This time, because of the Slowpoke incident, Tengshu also checked the other Pokémon in the orphanage and found that Muddon had fleas and lice on its body, but the little guy was thick-skinned and didn't seem to feel much.

"Dean Teng Shu, are you here to buy pollen cakes today?" The shop manager looked at Teng Shu with some surprise, then curiously glanced at the small truck parked outside. He put down the hand warmer in his hand and stood up with a smile.

"No, I wanted to ask if you have any insect repellent or anything." Teng Shu asked his question directly, while the Pikachu family crawled down and looked around curiously.

Although there are poaching gangs and Pokémon hunters in the Pokémon world, there are generally no such people in Viridian City, so safety is generally guaranteed.

Moreover, Pikachu isn't exactly a rare Pokémon, so Tengshu wasn't worried about anything happening to Pikachu's family.

"Of course we have deworming medicine. What price range are you looking for?" the shopkeeper said with a smile. Teng Shu hesitated for a moment when he heard this. He had thought that there wouldn't be much deworming medicine, maybe just one or two, but judging from the shopkeeper's expression, it seemed like there was quite a lot.

"What's the best? The kind with long-lasting effects, so you don't have to worry about being parasitized while rolling around in the wild." Teng Shu chose a target he liked.

"This? Of course we have it. I recommend Psyduck insect repellent. One drop lasts for half a month... but if you're in the wild every day, it will only last for seven days to kill the parasites." The shopkeeper took out a bottle, then noticed Pichu behind Tengshu and added.

While insect repellent is effective, it's impossible for it to last a lifetime. If it's effective for seven days when used outdoors every day, that's already quite good.

Teng Shu didn't say much. He knew about Psyduck. It was a product of the Psyduck Merchant Guild and had a great reputation. However, the price was what it was, and you get what you pay for.

So the vine tried it out. After dripping it on Pikachu's family, a bunch of small black dots were shaken off. They were all fleas and lice, and then all the pests died.

After asking how many times the medicine could be used, Teng Shu bought three bottles: two large bottles and one small bottle. He took the large bottles back to the orphanage for Slowpoke and Mud Donkey, and gave the small one to Pikachu.

Don't underestimate parasites; they can be infectious agents. That's why there aren't regular rats in the Pokémon world, otherwise, the vine would have to guard against the Black Death.

The three bottles cost 1200 yuan, which was a bit pricey, but worth it.

"Dean Teng Shu, would you like to look at something else?" the shop manager asked with a smile. Teng Shu hesitated for a moment.

Then they decided to buy some fertilizer. The Dark Crow had planted quite a few fruit trees recently, and fertilizer was essential for the fruit trees to grow well. The old man had already mentioned it to Tengshu.

So buying some is a good idea.

Just as he left the general store, Teng Shu saw a familiar face.

Xiao Guang.

Chapter 224 Please pay attention to Blizzard King! Speak up for Blizzard King!

Xiao Guang, the child who once adopted the eldest cat from Teng Shu, is now outside, with two other eldest cats in front of him, happily watching Teng Shu.

Teng Shu glanced at them and saw that the matching value of the two cat leaders had reached 90%, which was a very high value, at least for Teng Shu.

"It seems that Xiao Guang is getting along well with the cat bosses." Teng Shu smiled at the cat bosses, and Xiao Guang seemed to recognize Teng Shu as well. He stood there, at a loss, wanting to say something or do something, but he didn't know what he could do.

All I can do is stand there dumbly in front of you.
