Pokémon: All About the Breeding House

Chapter 102 Wood Carving

Soon, the mayor arrived at the breeding house.

"The shop manager speaks in dialect."

A voice came from the doorway, and Fang Yan quickly stood up to welcome Mayor Qi Yi in.

The Gothic boy served two cups of hot tea.

Mayor Qiyi took a small sip.

Then he asked what Fang Yan meant by what he had said on the phone.

The dialect fully reveals one's thoughts.

"I noticed that the road from Futaba Town to Masa Town has many potholes, so I plan to fill them in and compact them to prevent accidents."

Mayor Qiyi nodded.

"At the same time, I'd like to trim the trees along the roadside. Some of them have grown into the middle of the road. I want to plan them out so that they look beautiful without affecting traffic."

"Furthermore, I noticed that many open spaces around the breeding house have been abandoned for a long time and are overgrown with weeds. I plan to tidy them up so that there will be more and better spaces available for future events."

Mayor Qiyi nodded.

Fang Yan suddenly thought of the various activities she often saw in anime.

"I think if this road is repaired, I might be able to host a lot of events."

Liuwei came to Fang Yan's side, jumped onto his lap, and then lay down.

Fang Yan gently stroked its fur with his hand.

Liuwei comfortably squinted its eyes.

"In such a comfortable and peaceful time, holding an event to bring everyone together is, in my opinion, a wonderful thing."

Fang Yan took a sip of tea and said calmly.

He is a person who prefers lively atmospheres. He likes the quiet and peaceful life in the breeding house, but he also likes the life of having many people and Pokémon gather together occasionally, chatting and playing.

Lively and full of genuine emotions.

Just like that day of raising the animals.

Humans and Pokémon live in harmony, leaving each other with wonderful memories.

Listening to Fang Yan's thoughts, Mayor Qi Yi picked up his cup and took another sip of hot tea.

"But this road is very long, and we can't afford to repair it."

Fang Yan relayed what he and the person in charge had said to Mayor Qiyi.

"You mean, all you need to do is break up the soil, fill it in, and then compact the rest?"

Fang Yan nodded.

"That would be acceptable."

Mayor Qi Yi pondered for a moment, then nodded.

"Alright, then let's go with your idea. I'll discuss it with the mayor of Masago Town and we'll apply for funding. Futaba Town and Masago Town will each contribute half."

Mayor Qiyi clapped his hands.

"Our breeding house—"

Fang Yan was about to speak when she was interrupted by Mayor Qiyi.

"The repair work along the roads and the modifications to those abandoned vacant lots will be handled by your breeding house."

"Since you can design and manage the nursery so well, you should be able to do this too. How about this?"

You can't get a word in edgewise when you're speaking in dialect.

I thought about it for a while.

Then he nodded.

Saving some money is good, but if we can get the funding approved, then everyone will be happy.

If that doesn't work, I'll get my Pokémon involved and work on it little by little until we get it done.

"no problem."

Mayor Qiyi nodded, then took out his phone and dialed Mayor Zhensha's number.

I talked to him about this while he was speaking in dialect.

After heated discussions, the matter was finally decided.

The funding application was processed quickly and was approved immediately.

Then Mayor Qiyi said goodbye to Fang Yan and walked towards the door.

At the same time, he was on the phone with the renovation company, discussing everything.

After seeing Mayor Qiyi off, Fang Yan breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he collapsed in the rest area.

"That's great, everyone."

The voices of agreement from Gengar and the others rang out around them.

Fang Yan glanced at the time; it was still early, so he took out the wood that had been dried some time ago.

I sat on the floor of the rest area.

He took the tools and began to carve, bit by bit.

Based on techniques learned from my great-aunt's tool list.

The wood quickly took on a clear shape in his hands.

The first one I finished was a small Gengar.

The small body was deliberately made a little chubby by Fang Yan.

Next up are Miss Skirt, Mighty, and others, as well as Monini, Six-Tailed Fox, and Gothic Boy...

By the time all the wood carvings were finished, it was already past 3 a.m.

Fang Yan glanced at the time and twisted his neck.

Lipala.

It's so sore and painful.

I looked up and found myself surrounded by Pokémon.

Monini slept next to the Gothic Boy, covered with the small blanket that the Gothic Boy had brought for it.

She was still holding Marill's tail in her hand.

Maril was lying sprawled out next to Monini.

Poison Rose slept soundly against Miss Skirt, who also squinted her eyes.

The corners of her mouth were still slightly upturned, as if she were having a sweet dream.

Gothic Boy sat next to Monini and smiled at Fang Yan.

Liuwei lay on the chair, his tail twitching.

He was muttering something in his mouth while smacking his lips.

The bees patrol the backyard, while the queen bee guards her hive.

Fang Yan felt a warmth in his heart upon seeing this.

Looking at the Pokémon that were keeping her company without bothering her, just surrounding her under the light, Fang Yan felt very happy as they conveyed their emotions to her.

Gengar floated to Fangyan's side and spoke softly.

"Kou Jie—"

Are you done with your work?

"Hmm, why don't you let them go back to their rooms to sleep?"

Fang Yan twitched the corner of its mouth.

He asked softly.

"Kou Jie—"

They say they want to stay with you.

Fang Yan stopped talking and instead picked up the Gengar wood carving and handed it to it.

"This is for you. May you be happy every day."

Gengar took the wooden carving, looked at the wooden carving in its own shape in its hand, and then looked at Fangyan.

He looked at me with tender eyes.

"Kou Jie—"

I've been so happy ever since I discovered dialects!

Then he licked it with his tongue.

Fang Yan was still helplessly closing his eyes, preparing to wipe the drool off his face.

As a result, I found myself numb.

"Numbness—why is it numb again—"

The dialect voice startled Miss Skirt and the others awake, and the nursery was thrown into chaos once again.

Finally, Gengar skillfully pulled out a cherry berry and stuffed it into Fangyan's mouth.

"Kou Jie"

I was prepared, hehe.

After a while, he recovered from speaking in dialect.

Angrily, she tugged at Gengar's tail, making it float around in the air like a deflated balloon, and then handed the wooden carvings she had made to Miss Skirt and the others one by one.

They accepted the wood carving and felt the emotions it contained.

"Laji~"

I played with them for a while, then let them go back to sleep.

She went back to her room, took a shower, dried her hair, and lay down on the bed.

Sleeping with eyes half-closed.

Thank you, Dialect---Farmer Pokémon

Fang Yan's lips curled up slightly.

I love you all too. Goodnight, sweet dreams.

"Kou Jie"

The ceiling lit up with a red light, then disappeared.
