Pokémon, but cultural invasion

After treatment and a night's rest, Lanxing clearly felt that the swelling in her right leg had subsided considerably. She said:

"With the Bulbasaur around, most of the work can be done under my command."

"Therefore, there is no need for new staff, and I find it difficult to entrust the welfare home to strangers."

Quanshu peeled half an orange and ate it himself. He said helplessly, "Being wary is a good thing, but I don't recommend you continue this lifestyle. It will make it seem like all my efforts last night were in vain."

"No, your efforts are meaningful."

Quanshu was taken aback and asked, "What's so meaningful about it?"

"If it exists, it exists."

Lanxing turned her head and looked at the torrential rain outside the window, her eyes softening.

Do you have anything you like?

"Ibrahimovic."

"...It's not Pokémon, to put it another way, it's something I want."

She turned her head and glared at him, but the slight annoyance was quickly washed away by the tears welling up in her eyes. Quanshu had never seen Lanxing look so gentle.

"Let me think... I can't think of anything right now."

Just as Mewtwo had promised, Izumi didn't want to lie, and for a moment he really couldn't think of an answer.

He can't exactly say he wants a Masterball, can he?

"Okay, then tell me when you have what you want."

She didn't seem surprised by the answer.

"Boy!"

Ibu suddenly bit the back of Izumi's hand.

"what happened?"

She clutched her black-screened phone, looking pitifully at Quanshu.

"Idiot, of course the battery will run out if you keep playing."

Quanshu pinched Eevee's cheek and went downstairs to buy a charging cable.

As night fell, the strong winds subsided, and the rain began to patter softly.

Perhaps because Zapdos left, the interrupted communication was restored.

Upon reconnecting to the network, in addition to the torrential rain that struck Goldenrod City, there was also news of wild Electric-type Pokémon going berserk in the vicinity of Lavender Town.

Many Officer Jennys were mobilized to provide support, but with Elite Four member Agatha Christie in Lavender Town, wild Pokémon couldn't cause much trouble.

Quanshu and Ache made contact.

Before the rainstorm, the film crew was worried about the health of the speed dog in the flower bed at the train station, so they worked with a welfare home in the city to move it.

Fortunately, the old Gyrogoro is currently in good health.

Next up is Nazi, who stayed at the welfare home.

The Pokémon who volunteered to help returned to the orphanage without any problems.

Everything was normal the first day.

There's even less to worry about after the wind speed and rain subside on the second day.

On the morning of the fourth day after the sudden downpour, the rain stopped.

The cumulonimbus clouds that had lingered over Golden City for days dissipated, and after sunrise, the clouds cleared, the rain stopped, and the sky was ablaze with fiery hues.

Is Chapter 166 Normal?

The sky was a clear, bright blue, and people spontaneously took to the streets to clean up the streets after the rainstorm.

On the navigator's note, A-Che stated that he had already taken his staff to the film set to clean up debris and inspect for damage.

He hopes to start construction as soon as possible to catch up on the work schedule delayed by the torrential rain.

Return to Tingxiang Welfare Home.

The roadside shrubs were swept away and bent over, and the soil at the base of some trunks was hollowed out, exposing their gnarled roots.

The rice paddies next to the railway are still submerged in water, the drainage ditches are malfunctioning, and large areas of crops that could not be harvested in time are bound to rot at the roots.

Quanshu has urged the Golden City Hall to provide disaster relief and compensation for agricultural disasters in order to restore production.

He made no attempt to hide his ulterior motives, planning to properly thank the uncle who gave them a ride later.

They pushed the director into the welfare home.

Oddish, Bellsprout, and other plant Pokémon lazily took root in the lawn, enjoying the sunshine they hadn't seen for days.

Little elves jumped out of the house, the forest, the soil, and the lake, surrounding the two of them completely.

"I'm fine. The doctor said I just need to rest for two months."

As Lanxing finished speaking, the Pokémon cheered in unison. They were completely relieved and scattered to play and frolic.

After Quanshu pushed her into the house to rest, he went outside and bumped into Nazi, who had just finished feeding the fish.

She was wearing a navy blue work apron, her right hand wrapped around a wooden tub, and a yellow hair from some unknown Pokémon was stuck to her small nose.

Upon seeing him, Natsumi couldn't wait to say, "Izumi, the task you asked me to complete is finished."

Izumi-ki stared silently at the girl's face, a look of bewilderment on his face.

The situation was urgent, and it was his lack of consideration that led him to entrust a yard full of Pokémon to someone who lacked common sense.

"The task was completed very well, thank you."

He smiled and gently brushed the hair off Naz's nose.

"Leave the rest to me."

Quanshu took the wooden basin to rinse away the residue, leaving Nazi standing there blankly.

What was that just now?

Nazi was momentarily dazed. The instant Izumi reached out and touched her skin, she felt as if a subtle electric current was coursing through her body.

The heat rose up onto my cheeks.

The girl's face was flushed like clouds dyed by the setting sun, starting from the tips of her ears, spreading across her cheeks to the tip of her nose, all tinged with a light pink.

The strange feeling returned, making her feel unlike herself.

Nazi, lost in thought, walked to the lakeside. Her reflection shone in the water, her delicate face like a peach petal soaked by rain.

After a long time, the inexplicable bittersweet feeling that had overwhelmed my chest gradually subsided.

"This isn't me..."

A deep blue superpower surged in her eyes, and her return took longer than ever before, but Sabrina felt no joy.

"The familiar superpowers are back, but I'm no longer myself..."

A cold glint flashed in her eyes.

The sky above Golden City was turbulent, as a powerful and unparalleled invisible force, like a giant hand, enveloped the entire city.

Every psychic-type Pokémon on the streets trembled, for the long-lost uncrowned king of this place was announcing his return in a domineering and arrogant manner.

"Third offense is the limit. If you dare to do it again, you will die!"

The Team Rocket members, who had disguised themselves and infiltrated Goldenrod City, suddenly found themselves kneeling in the suburbs thousands of meters away.

The chilling, murderous words echoed in their ears, turning their faces deathly pale.

A Pokémon hunter, indulging in revelry at a bar, is suddenly found bound and gagged at the Saffron City Police Department.

Recently, petty criminals have been categorized and placed in the interrogation rooms of various police stations.

“You’ve got some nerve to commit crimes in Golden City, which is run by people with superpowers.”

Officer Jenny, who has been working there for quite some time, is used to this. It's a regular, special cleaning service in Golden City that thoroughly cleans away the filth and dirt hidden in the crevices.

After doing all this, Naz still had energy left.

She darted back to the orphanage, and this time the Pokémon, with their keen intuition, looked at her without fear or hesitation.

Naza focused her gaze on Izumi, unable to see his future or read his mind.

The blinding white light enveloped everything, blocking any possibility of observation.

The strands of hair that had been lifted by an invisible force fell back down, and the once invincible superpowers withered and disappeared.

"Naza, get me a brush."

"Oh!"

She handed over the wooden brush and squatted down to watch Quanshu scrub the basin.

Two Bulbasaur were using their vine whips to move fallen trees a short distance away.

“This orphanage is the result of my grandfather’s hard work. Now that the director is injured and unable to move in, I have to move back here for the time being.”

While scrubbing the basin, Izumi asked, "How are your superpowers doing lately? Are there any signs of recovery?"

"..."

Naza's dark red eyes flickered for a moment, then she said nonchalantly, "No, it's the same as always."

"Then you can sleep in my room for now. You'll probably be running between the film set and the orphanage, which will be quite tiring."

Quanshu pondered whether Nazaki's lack of intervention when the torrential rain disrupted the normal lives of residents in Jinhuang City would arouse suspicion.

We need to think of a way to reopen the Goldenrod Gym.

"It's okay, I'm not tired from running back and forth."

Having said that, Naz stopped watching.

She sat on a wicker chair in front of the house, intently watching her phone, occasionally tapping the screen.

This slightly caught Izumi's attention; he remembered that Naz was rarely interested in electronic products.

Afterwards, the two went to Golden City.

Quanshu went to the film set to check on the situation. Apart from some debris floating in the water on the ground, there was no major problem, and both locations are expected to resume normal operations tomorrow.

He then went to the villa, packed his belongings to take back to the orphanage, and also brought along Smeargle, Ironhound, and Gastly.

During the three days that Quanshu was away from the villa, the three of them had a blast.

As Gastly was being taken away, it muttered, "The rain stopped too quickly."

After dealing with all sorts of trivial matters, Quanshu finally had time to reply to messages from the outside world.

First, we need to calmly calculate the game development progress that is regularly reported back.

Secondly, Blueberry Academy issued a statement saying that the rainstorm had no impact on the Tingxiang film crew, allaying their concerns, and that the social practice would proceed as scheduled.

Thirdly, there were various "monsters and demons," including television stations, cinemas, and other entities that had dealt with Tingxiang Township, offering their condolences.

...

The sun sets in the west, and the rabbit rises in the east.

In the quiet night in front of the wooden house, the spring tree enjoys the bright moonlight.

The annoying mosquito was killed by Bulbasaur, who was watching from the side, with its vine whip.

Holding her phone behind her back with both hands, and with her gaze shifting, Natsu suddenly asked, "Izumi, what is our relationship now?"

A strange question. Izumi opened her eyes a crack.

Seeing her fidgety appearance, he thought for a moment and said, "Just friendship."

"friendship?"

The answer did not dispel the unease lingering on Naz's brow; she muttered to herself as she walked away.
