My Pokémon Story of Seasons

Chapter 281 Lightning-Fast Opening

Summer of June 14th, 112th year of the Alliance Calendar, sunny.

The sunlight at five in the morning was more intense than usual, casting bright spots of light through the skylight onto the wooden floor.

Tong Hua woke up as usual to the sound of birdsong and a faint sweet fragrance.

He sat up and looked down at his side. Chinchilla was fast asleep, sprawled out on its back, and sure enough, it had rolled to the foot of the bed.

The pickpocket cat had somehow stolen his pillow and covered himself with it, leaving only his fluffy little head and a pair of ears that trembled slightly with his breathing.

Seeing this, Tong Hua couldn't help but smile. She carefully broke free from the two little ones' embrace without disturbing them.

He walked to the window, pushed it open, and a warm breeze, carrying the fragrance of grass, earth, and flowers, immediately rushed into the room.

What a beautiful and comfortable morning! Tong Hua's mood instantly brightened.

After stretching, his gaze immediately fell on the wondrous potion shop in the distance that had just been completed yesterday.

In the morning light, the light-colored wooden walls appear exceptionally warm and inviting, and the mushroom-shaped roof has rounded, adorable lines.

The temporary wooden carving of Tibrim's profile on the lintel appeared more vivid in the sunlight.

"We're opening today!" Tong Hua took a deep breath of fresh air, feeling every cell in her body brimming with energy.

He quietly finished washing up, went into the kitchen, and began preparing breakfast.

He made extra today, not only for himself and the Pokémon in the house, but also for the other members of the ranch.

As the aroma of fried eggs and tree nuts filled the air, Chinchilla and the pickpocket cat, rubbing their sleepy eyes, followed the scent into the kitchen.

"Terrifying~"

"Meow."

Good morning.

Tong Hua pushed two specially made small breakfasts in front of them, "Eat quickly, we need to make final preparations for the opening after we finish eating."

As breakfast is eaten, the fairytale ranch gradually awakens.

"Bree!" "Oh my!"

Tibriam, Sweetie, and other Pokémon woke up one after another and gathered around the dining table to enjoy the breakfast prepared by Tong Hua.

-

Tong Hua also delivered breakfast to everyone in the greenhouse and on the grassland. Everyone gathered in front of their new home, and what was originally an ordinary breakfast turned into a morning meeting.

The forest tortoise slowly chewed on a fresh fruit and vegetable salad, while a messenger bird sat beside it, feeding several miniature pufferfish spoonful by spoonful.

This whole family, with dozens of Pokémon eating breakfast together, is quite a sight!

"Listen to me, everyone!"

Tong Hua stood on the small steps in front of the door, clapped his hands, and attracted the attention of all the Pokémon.

"Today, our 'Wonderful Potion Shop' is officially opening!"

"La beep!"

"Oh my!"

"Game!"

"Terrifying!"

The Pokémon immediately responded with cheerful cheers, their eyes filled with anticipation.

"We still need to do some final setup before opening."

Tong Hua took out the list she had made last night, "We need someone to help move the prepared potions and materials over; someone to clean and decorate the shop interior; and someone to help out as a shop assistant —"

Before he could finish speaking, the Pokémon spontaneously began to divide up the tasks.

Tibrim waved her hand and said, "If you ask me, there's no need for all that trouble. Leave all these things to me, Brie!" With that, she floated toward the elevator leading to the basement.

The beautiful and aloof Queen nodded gracefully: "I and the members of the expedition team are responsible for the cleaning and decoration of the interior." She led Orion and several miniature Fu to the potion shop.

Chinchilla quickly followed, "Me too! I want to clean up Chinchilla too!"

The messenger bird puffed out its chest: "Chirp chirp!"

"The dessert shop is ours to handle, Creamy Fairy, let's go!"

"Hey! She's the manager! Let her give the orders!"

Five Alcremie fairies of different colors followed behind the white additional captain, just like a Super Sentai team.

Watching the Pokémon busily getting to work, Tong Hua felt a sense of satisfaction.

He went into the potions shop and began his final preparations.

Adjust the counter's position, organize the shelves, inspect the cauldron stove, and place the written potion instruction labels in their appropriate locations.

Time flew by in the midst of their busy work. As the rising sun gradually ascended and gilded the pasture with a dazzling gold, the interior of the Magical Potions Shop had also been completely transformed.

Inside the dark wood glass cabinet, rows of crystal-clear medicine bottles are neatly arranged.

It contained pale blue recovery potions, golden panaceas, and plant growth agents with a pearly luster.

In addition, there was the Endurance Potion, which was newly refined the day before yesterday, and the Willpower Potion, which was dark red and exuded a sense of power, and blue and exuded a sense of wisdom.

Each bottle had a label handwritten by Tong Hua underneath, briefly explaining the medicine's effects.

On the wooden shelves against the wall, various alchemy materials are arranged in categories.

There were dried crops, colorful crystal fragments, and slime and powder in glass jars—a dazzling array, filled with an air of mystery.

In the center of the room, the small brick stove had been built, with a gleaming copper crucible on it.

Next to it is Tibrim's personal alchemy workbench, on which are placed beakers, test tubes and grinding tools of various sizes.

On the wall, following Sweet Cold Beauty's suggestion, some dried lavender, sage, and other bouquets were hung.

The subtle herbal aroma blends with the scent of the potion itself, creating a unique and reassuring atmosphere.

"Oh, right, we also need to do some promotion."

Tong Hua took out the flyer she had designed earlier, which was decorated with many whimsical patterns drawn with colored pencils.

"One flyer isn't enough, Tibrim. Is there any way to make some duplicates?"

"Bri?" Tibrim floated over and looked at the hand-drawn flyer in Tong Hua's hand.

"That's all? Simple, bring me some paper."

She stretched out her small hand, her fingertips gathering a faint pink light, and gently touched the flyer and the blank paper.

The next second, a stack of identical flyers appeared on the worktable.

Wow! You can really do that!

As expected of you, BrieAmon.

Tong Hua picked up the stack of flyers with delight; each one was clear, vibrant, and exactly the same as the original.

"Bree~" Tibrim raised her little face smugly, "It's just simple magic, nothing special, Brie."

By the way, what does "BriAmon" mean?

Tibrim scratched his head, his small eyes filled with great confusion.

"Then I'll trouble you to make a few more copies!" Tong Hua handed her the original manuscript.

"I'll have the messenger bird and the three bees help me deliver these flyers to Windswept Town and Chicory Village!"

"Bree!"

Finally, everything is ready.

Tong Hua stood at the entrance of the potion shop, looking at the small house that embodied everyone's hard work.

He took a deep breath and solemnly hung the wooden signboard, which had been prepared beforehand and was carved with the words "Wonderful Potion Shop," below the door.

The sunlight was perfect, falling on the brand-new signboard and on the expectant and joyful faces of Tong Hua and the Pokémon who had gathered around.

"We're open for business!"

Tong Hua announced loudly, his voice echoing through the pasture in the early morning, filled with barely suppressed excitement.

-

From having the idea to officially opening, only two days passed. Indeed, when you turn your passion into work, your drive becomes incredibly powerful!

As Tong Hua announced this, the Pokémon let out a small cheer.

"Chirp chirp!" "Buzz buzz!"

The messenger birds and the three bees immediately picked up stacks of leaflets and, like well-trained messengers, flapped their wings and flew towards Windswept Town and Chicory Village.

"Bree".

Tibrim floated behind the counter and solemnly adjusted her non-existent skirt, trying her best to maintain a serious expression, but the slight upturn of her lips betrayed her good mood.

"Although he hasn't studied alchemy for two more days, at least he's focused on it, Brie."

And they even opened this shop specifically for it —”

Tibrim muttered to himself, secretly quite pleased.

She cleared her throat and used her telekinesis to levitate several bottles of display potions, causing them to slowly rotate behind the counter, emitting soft, multicolored light and creating a mysterious atmosphere.

Tibrim felt a faint sense of anticipation, wondering what kind of guest would be the first to arrive.
