I run an orphanage in the Pokémon world.

[Beacon: Honglian Town]

Did you see the teardrops inside the Pokémon House?

You will receive 3,000 Happiness Points for taking in abandoned Pokémon.

Teng Shu rubbed his eyes. Three thousand happiness points? And in Red Lotus Town? That's worth a visit, but thinking of his orphanage, Teng Shu decided to finish arranging the orphanage's affairs first before going on the business trip.

Three thousand happiness points is almost equivalent to a month's summary.

"However, this will indeed increase the speed at which I accumulate happiness points." Teng Shu was a little excited. Although he knew that this beacon could indeed give happiness points, he was still pleasantly surprised that it could give so many.

Once you get this happiness point, the little dragon's eyes can be healed.

“Cinnabar Town, Pokémon House? This place looks familiar. I think it’s related to some kind of incident…” Tengshu scratched his head. He remembered the location, but he couldn’t recall exactly what happened there, since he hadn’t played the first generation of games for very long.

Aside from remembering A-Du and Sakaki, the leader of Team Rocket, Teng Shu wasn't really familiar with the rest of the story.

"Good morning, Fujiki!" As soon as they stepped out of the orphanage building, Saki flew down with a smile and greeted Fujiki happily.

"Good morning, Saki." Fujiki greeted her in return.

By the way, before going to Crimson Lotus Town, I probably need to take care of Saki's matter, otherwise that ghost might follow me, and Tengshu has no intention of becoming an undead knight.

Chapter 238 The Little Card? Is this little card of yours even legitimate? (Two-in-one)

"Director, I remember seeing this girl somewhere before." Having just finished his morning rounds, Teng Shu bumped into Locke at the orphanage. Locke's eyes were bloodshot, clearly indicating that he had stayed up all night.

Looking at Locke in front of him, Teng Shu felt that it was better for Locke to go to sleep earlier than to worry about Saki. After all, the matter of Saki could be investigated slowly, but if Locke died from staying up all night to research, that would be a big problem.

"You stayed up all night to investigate?" Teng Shu was a little surprised that Locke was so concerned.

"Well, I was planning to go to sleep, since my daughter and wife are coming tomorrow and the day after, but as soon as I lay down in bed, I couldn't help but think about Saki, so..." Locke smiled awkwardly, but then excitedly took out a file folder.

Teng Shu watched quietly. Sometimes he would also be unable to sleep because he was curious about something, so to some extent he could understand Locke, although he thought Locke's method of staying up all night to find it was a bit outrageous.

However, Locke then pulled out a small card from the file folder, which was in a small plastic bag. It featured a sexy maid and a phone number below it. Next to the maid's name were the words "Health Massage".

"Isn't this a small card?" Teng Shu looked at the small card and immediately recognized what it was for. This kind of thing is usually used to scam those brainless people in power.

If you try to contact them normally, they'll use all sorts of excuses to ask you for fees, all kinds of fees, and then they'll block you and run away. It's a relatively low-level scam.

It's not surprising that there are card vines like this in the Pokémon world, after all, this business is one of the oldest in the world.

“Yes, look at the person on the card.” Locke handed the plastic bag to Tengshu. Tengshu took it and glanced at it. Only when he looked closely did he realize that the girl on the card was actually Saki, who was floating next to him.

They have the same face shape and appearance, and even a mole on their stomachs.

“Saki, this person…” Tengshu glanced at Saki, but Saki’s eyes were still confused. She still couldn’t remember anything. Tengshu was also at a loss. It seemed that it was impossible to get any clues from Saki.

"Didn't she remember?" Locke was now completely certain that Teng Shu was someone who could communicate with the dead. After all, the person Teng Shu drew was exactly the same as the person on the small card he received when dealing with a patient. And that small card was from three years ago, and that patient was in the Johto region, not Kanto at all.

Therefore, Tengshu must be the kind of "dead whisperer" mentioned in historical records.

"No, she has amnesia and has forgotten a lot of things." Teng Shu shook his head helplessly. He didn't know what to do about Saki's situation. Moreover, once Saki started to recall, it would be very painful, and then she would lose her memory again, so he couldn't give any useful clues.

“At least we have the photos. I tried to check the phone number, but it's not in service now. This number was registered on a social media app before, but the account was later deleted. We can only find a name.” Locke also shared the information he found. He had spent the whole night going through his files.

After all, Locke knew very well that since he started working as a psychologist after graduation, he had been in contact with all kinds of patients. If he had ever seen Saki's face, it was definitely through his interactions with patients, since he had no memory of it in his daily life.

"Speaking of which, what kind of patients do you treat that you collect little cards for?" Teng Shu couldn't help but ask. After all, he was genuinely curious about this question. A psychologist and little cards didn't seem to go together, and he wondered how they were connected.

"This? To protect the patient's privacy, I can't say too much, but I can only say that this patient's situation is very special. This patient likes to collect small cards." Locke didn't reveal much information, but Tengshu understood after hearing this. No wonder Locke had seen Saki's photos.

Teng Shu glanced at Saki beside him. This girl was shrouded in mystery. Teng Shu rarely encountered such a situation. However, Saki's situation was very special. There wasn't much information about her, and there was no body. If there were a body, contacting Officer Jenny would have revealed Saki's identity.

Tengshu was having a bit of a headache. This was the first time he had encountered such a difficult ghost. After all, other ghosts were taken away by the Lighthouse of Death and sent to the afterlife. Only this Saki was extremely difficult to deal with. Tengshu still didn't know what Saki's obsession was that kept her in this world.

"Can we find the person through this photo?" Teng Shu asked tentatively.

Locke shook his head.

"It's difficult, and frankly, how are you going to find them? You know, if you apply to the Alliance, you need a suitable reason." Locke wasn't very optimistic about using photos to find people, after all, these days the photos on those cards might just be screenshots taken from the internet.

Sometimes, girls post their beautiful photos online, and then criminals use them on small cards as bait. On the one hand, the criminals are cheating people, and on the other hand, it will also affect the reputation of these girls. After all, if their friends and acquaintances see it, it can easily cause misunderstandings.

It's even possible to be completely disgraced.

Logically, Tengshu could have approached the matter from this angle, but the problem was that he didn't know Saki's identity or name, so he couldn't even claim to be Saki's friend. Officer Jenny is quite adept at protecting personal privacy.

"This guy... is really difficult to deal with." Teng Shu shook his head, then returned the card to Locke. It seemed he could only try to find clues later.

After finishing all that, Tengshu began preparing breakfast. However, after thinking for a moment about Locke's dark circles and bloodshot eyes, Tengshu decided to make some porridge to soothe Locke's tired body.

Obesity and staying up late are two things whose damage is difficult to remedy later. Of course, it's never too late to mend the fence after the sheep are lost. As long as you realize the harm of these things, you can correct them in time and minimize the damage as much as possible.

"I should also make a trip to Red Lotus Town while I'm at it," Teng Shu thought of his beacon mission.

"Hmm? Kai sent money again? But isn't this a bit too much?" Teng Shu looked at the text message on his phone, raised an eyebrow, and casually scooped a spoonful of porridge into his mouth.

This time, Tengshu made vegetable and lean pork congee. Actually, Tengshu wanted to make preserved egg and lean pork congee, but unfortunately, there are no preserved eggs in the Pokémon world. If he wanted to make preserved egg and lean pork congee, he would need to make a preserved egg himself. So, Tengshu made vegetable and lean pork congee first.

However, since it was essentially just for filling his stomach and warming Locke's stomach, Tengshu didn't make it too complicated. Otherwise, he thought that making a medicinal porridge or something might have been more effective.

But what surprised Tengshu even more was the money that Akai had sent.

"Does Akai's video earnings really come that high? Or did he take on some advertising deals?" Teng Shu was a little curious. After all, he had met some of these video creators before because of his work and heard them complain that making videos is not easy. Ten thousand views might only earn you thirty yuan, and some platforms might earn even less.

Furthermore, it's important to understand that while this number of views may not seem like much, there aren't that many people who can actually achieve this level. The reason why the videos you watch seem to have a good number of views is simply because these videos have good data and were promoted. Many videos, even after being released for a year, may not get more than three thousand views, which is quite absurd.

Therefore, most content creators do not rely on view counts to make money; accepting commercial advertisements is a more common way to do so.

Although Teng Shu was curious about why A Kai had donated more money this time, he didn't think too much about it. After all, it was A Kai's own business, and Teng Shu was quite supportive of it.

After finishing breakfast, Tengshu strolled out, but this time Saki didn't follow him. She disappeared somewhere, and Tengshu was happy to have some peace and quiet. Otherwise, if Saki had been following him around, he would have felt a little uncomfortable.

"Caw!" The raven cawed, then happily landed on Tengshu's shoulder and nuzzled against his clothes.

"What's wrong, Little Black?" Teng Shu smiled and patted the head of the Dark Raven. The Dark Raven flapped its wings excitedly. After watching for a while, Teng Shu roughly guessed what the Dark Raven meant.

"You mean you want me to follow you? Then lead the way." Teng Shu smiled, and then followed the excited Dark Raven to a spot not far from the orphanage gate. Then Teng Shu saw what Dark Raven wanted him to see.

Rows and rows of fruit trees.

These fruit trees are growing quite well. Keep in mind that it's winter now, but these fruit trees still have some green leaves. It can only be said that the Murkrow has taken very good care of them.

Teng Shu was somewhat surprised. He wasn't surprised by the Dark Raven Fruit Tree itself, since he knew about it and it was he who had supported it in the first place. What surprised him was the number of Dark Raven Fruit Trees.

"One...twelve...thirty-three...fifty?" Teng Shu counted and was even more surprised. Fifty fruit trees? This number might not be much to fruit farmers, as there are many fruit trees on a mountain, but it was quite remarkable to Dark Raven.

You should know that Murkrow is a bird Pokémon with wings and claws, but no hands. It would be very difficult for it to grow fruit trees. The amount of effort required is something even Vine Tree can't imagine.

"Thank you for your hard work, Blackie." Teng Shu patted the Black Raven's head.

Speaking of which, Tengshu hadn't seen many Murlocs flying over the orphanage during this period. At that time, Tengshu thought that the Murlocs were probably too tired to fly, since it was cold and it was normal for them to want to rest.

However, the Murlocs simply shifted their focus to tending to the fruit trees.

"Dark Raven is working very hard, Dean." Grandpa Yukima walked over with a smile, smoking a cigarette. He was also carrying a bag of fertilizer, which was for Dark Raven.

"Grandpa, thank you for your help too." Teng Shu said politely. He knew that the old man had also contributed to the fact that Dark Raven was able to plant so many fruit trees.

However, looking at the old man in front of him, Teng Shu's eyes were a little dazed. The old man had been working at his welfare home for almost a month, but during this time, Teng Shu noticed that the old man's wrinkles had quietly increased, and he looked older.

This is clearly not quite right, since normal people don't age this fast; it usually takes six months or even a year to see noticeable changes.

"Hey, I'm not doing anything hard. Being able to help the Dark Raven plant fruit trees is enough to satisfy my selfish desires." The old man waved his hand, then put the fertilizer aside. The Dark Raven skillfully poked a hole in the bag, grabbed it, and flew up to fertilize the fruit trees.

The old man's eyes narrowed with laughter, and the marks of time left deep crow's feet at the corners of his eyes.

Teng Shu remembered that the old man was not very old, but ever since his son became a gambling addict and started squandering money, and after his wife and son died, this man, who should not have been old yet, aged rapidly and could no longer straighten his back.

"By the way, Grandpa Xingzhen, the first month is almost here. I'll transfer your salary directly to your card then," Teng Shu added. The old man smiled and nodded, then quietly watched the Dark Ravens flying overhead.

His eyes were somewhat unfocused, and it was unclear what he was thinking about.

Tengshu praised the Murkrow after fertilizing it before leaving the small orchard. Berries, a special type of plant in the Pokémon world, are quite unique. For some reason, berries in Tengshu's world grow much faster. While ordinary fruit trees take several years to ripen, berries can be harvested in just one or two months.

However, relatively speaking, fruit trees don't have a very long lifespan; they usually die within one or two years and need to be replanted.

Tengshu heard that a Pokémon professor wanted to research a long-lived fruit tree, but so far there has been no success. However, he has developed some varieties with a richer flavor compared to similar fruits.

"But if that's the case, we won't be able to finish all the tree fruits in the warehouse..." Tengshu had a headache. He had been making juice and various tree fruit pieces every day for the past few days, which was enough to consume a lot of them. Once the Dark Raven's tree fruits start to bear fruit, he would probably have to stuff a huge pile of them again.

But fifty should be fine.

"!" Just as Tengshu was about to go back, Ralts suddenly jumped out and stood in front of Tengshu, looking a little awkward.

"?" Teng Shu slowly typed out a question mark. What was he going to do?

Chapter 239 Ralts' Excitement

"Ralts, what's wrong with you?" Teng Shu looked at Ralts with some surprise. Why did this little guy jump in front of him?

Laltras stood on tiptoe shyly, and after a moment she took out a wreath made of flowers and grass from her bosom and handed it to Tengshu, her little face flushed.

Looking at the wreath that Ralts handed over, Tengshu inexplicably felt as if he were being presented with a wreath.

"This is... for me?" Teng Shu looked at the wreath in his hand with a mix of amusement and exasperation. Ralts immediately nodded. Seeing Ralts's expression, Teng Shu put the wreath away.

Although I don't know what flower Ralts used, it smells quite nice, with a fragrance of magnolia.

"Thank you, Ralts." Tengshu squatted down and reached out to pat Ralts' head, but he wasn't sure if Ralts would pat his head.

After all, Ralts' situation is relatively special. She is naturally a bit shy, and Ralts is a timid Pokémon.

Sure enough, upon seeing Tengshu's hand, Ralts trembled and seemed to want to dodge, but then its movements slowed down, and it stood there quietly letting Tengshu pat its head.

"This feel... is different from that of Mimikyu, but Ralts' head feels quite normal." Tengshu thought to himself subconsciously.

When he touched Mimikyu before, the feel of Mimikyu was very strange, but now that he touched Ralts, Tengshu's biggest feeling was that Ralts' head was quite nice to touch, and its hair was very smooth.

It's just like using Pantene.

Ralts tilted her head and looked at Tengshu. Her emotions gradually calmed down. She had been a little nervous before, but now she was much better, at least not like before.

Ralts stared intently at Tengshu, a hint of curiosity in her eyes.

She had previously discovered that her memory was not very good, and she would always forget some things. It was because of this that Ralts could not remember when she was abandoned by her trainer.

She only remembered that the day seemed to be sunny and the sky was cloudless. Then she stood in the wilderness, looking around in confusion, and finally saw a blind little fire dragon eating tree fruit.

Ralts didn't want to eat it, as she was a little shy and felt it wasn't a good idea. However, her rumbling stomach left her no choice, so she 'stole' a berry.

As Ralts ate the berries, tears streamed down her face. She felt like she was going to die; she had become an annoying Pokémon. After all, no one likes a Pokémon that steals.

But there was no way around it, she was just too hungry.

Then Charmander found out, and then...

Then she forgot about it.

Ralts couldn't remember what she had done in the first place. She had just joined that strange little family in a daze and was with her companions. However, Ralts would still forget things from time to time, and as time went by, the problem became more and more serious.

In the years that followed, Ralts continued to forget, to lose her memory, and to lose some memories and some things.

She originally thought she would spend her whole life like this, until she came to this orphanage and started taking a medicine that didn't taste very good. Her forgetfulness gradually improved, and she hasn't forgotten anything for a very long time now.

Laluras looked at the vine with gratitude.

As a Psychic Pokémon, Ralts knew that it was this human in front of her who gave her this medicine, allowing her to have the opportunity to not forget the past.

"Why are you crying?" Teng Shu looked at Ralts in front of him. The little guy's eyes, hidden under his hair, were constantly dripping tears, one by one, which then fell onto Teng Shu's hand.

Tengshu raised his hand and gently wiped Ralts' eyes. It has to be said that the little guy's eyes are really very beautiful.

No wonder Ralts is considered the Pokémon most vulnerable in the League. After all, many Pokémon fans genuinely want to date Ralts and her evolved forms, and some even dream of getting married.

However, the league strictly prohibits such things from happening, and those found doing so will be severely punished.

Ralts shook her head, then raised her hand to wipe away her tears, her eyes red and swollen. She then stood on tiptoe and stretched out her little arms to hug the vine.

However, Ralts's arms were too short, so she couldn't hold onto the vine.

"Alright, it's okay. Your problem can be cured in the future." Teng Shu patted Ralts' head. Ralts has Alzheimer's disease, which is senile dementia. Although it is a bit troublesome, it is treatable for Teng Shu, but the medical pod still needs to be upgraded.

Teng Shu felt that the medical pod would probably be the first thing in the orphanage to reach the maximum level, since it had so many uses.

As for whether the medical pod would attract attention, Teng Shu wasn't worried. This thing had a special effect buff. Although it was amazing, others would only think it was reasonable and wouldn't have too many other thoughts. This was one of the few functions of the system.

Ralts nodded happily. If it were someone else who said it, Ralts might have some doubts, but she was willing to believe the man in front of her.

After seeing Laltras off, Teng Shu yawned and returned to his office. He still needed to make arrangements for the orphanage.

There aren't many staff members at the welfare home, but in reality, there aren't many things that Teng Shu needs to be present to handle. If I had to name one, it would probably be cooking.
