Pokémon: All About the Breeding House

Early in the morning, Fang Yan got out of bed, turned off the light, and went to the balcony to stretch.

Looking at the slightly misty backyard, feeling the morning air, and smelling the fragrance of the grass, I felt wonderful.

Since coming here, my daily routine has become more and more regular, and my mood has improved as well. There's no overtime, no pointless socializing, and no annoying work. Perhaps this is the beauty of the Pokémon world.

"Kou Jie—"

Gengar rubbed its eyes and floated out.

After greeting Gengar, the two of them quietly enjoyed the tranquility of the early morning.

Dali, along with Erli and Sanli, had already gotten up and started working. Although it was unclear what they were busy with, they looked up and greeted Fang Yan.

Fang Yan waved his hand.

"Laji..."

The commotion woke Lilyroot Doll up. It looked at Fang Yan and Gengar and greeted them in a soft, cute voice.

"Good morning, Lily Root Doll. Did you sleep well last night?"

"Kou Jie~"

Fang Yan looked at the lily root doll in the flowerpot. The leaves on top still had dewdrops on them, and their color was deeper than yesterday, but also somewhat messy.

He looks to be in good condition.

Thinking of this, Fang Yan checked the condition of the lily root doll again.

【Lily Root Doll】

[Attribute: Grass]

[Gender: Female]

【Characteristic: Chlorophyll】

[Mastered moves: Absorb, Growth, Paralysis Powder, Hypnotic Powder, Photosynthesis.]

Mood: Happy

[Status: Overcoming grief and moving towards the light]

[Friendship Level: 60-90 (I will try my best.)]

[Introduction: Thank you for leaving the light on for me last night. I'll do my best to help!]

He nodded, praised it a few times, and then took Gengar to wash up.

The lily root doll was gazing at the gradually bustling distance when it suddenly sensed something unusual from the leaves above its head.

"Laji?"

The lily root doll tilted its head back and looked up, while Fang Yan held a pair of scissors and was trimming it.

Looking at the plump and gorgeous Lilyroot Doll after it was trimmed, Fang Yan rested his chin on his hand, nodded, and then said, "What do you think? Gengar, isn't it cute?"

"Kou Jie~"

Gengar mimicked the gestures of the dialect and nodded in response.

Feeling the emotions emanating from the dialect and Gengar, Lilligant was deeply moved. Then, the leaves on its head fell off again and grew back, forming a ball.

Then it unfolds, revealing a round tuber lying inside.

[Breeder 1: A qualified breeder will never ignore the feelings and emotions of a Pokémon. Lilligant has escaped despair and is now heading towards a brighter tomorrow. You will receive Lilligant's gift: Bulb.]

[Bulb: When a Pokémon holds a bulb, its Special Attack will increase if it is hit by a Water-type move.]

Thank you, Dialect, and Gengar—Lilyroot Doll

After reading the words in front of him, Fang Yan picked up the bulb. "Did you give this to me?"

The lily root doll shook its body, indicating that it was correct.

"Thank you, Lily Root Doll."

Fang Yan smiled, then trimmed the leaves of the lily root doll again before carrying it to the lake to let it bask in the sun quietly.

Then she went back to the kitchen and made breakfast for Gengar, the Machamp, and herself.

Like most Grass-type Pokémon, Lilidexter doesn't need to eat; it can grow simply by getting sunlight and water.

After breakfast, Fang Yan revised the business form written on the wooden board. At this moment, Gengar floated over, holding a leaf that had fallen off Lilyroot.

"Kou Jie?"

How to do this?

Fang Yan looked at the leaves in its hand and remembered the illustration of the lily root doll, which said that the leaves on its head were a popular medicinal material. If dried and boiled, drinking the decoction would immediately make one feel energetic and also had a good insect-repelling effect.

Fang Yan took a piece and took a bite.

The bitter taste instantly filled my taste buds, my mind was instantly cleared, and I felt refreshed in the blink of an eye.

"So, it doesn't seem like a bad idea to use it for making herbal tea?"

Fang Yan stroked his chin and spoke softly, then asked Gengar to take the remaining leaves to dry.

After revising the business order on the wooden board, he put it out, announcing the official opening of the breeding house.

……

At this moment, sunlight filtered through the leaves of the trees along the forest path, dappling the ground, Genji's hair, and his body.

He wiped the sweat from his brow, glanced into the distance, and saw a house with its door wide open standing there.

He remembered that place used to be where an old lady lived. He used to play there when he was a child, but it closed down and he never came back. But yesterday he heard that it had reopened.

So he came over to see if the story was true or false.

He arrived at the door and looked at the wooden sign beside it, which read:

【Gengar's Happy Paradise (Further Living Area)】

[Service 1: Pokémon boarding.]

[Business 2: Selling Pokémon Eggs.]

【Business 3: Selling rare items: Bulbs】

【Business 4: Selling small props: Custom-made wood carvings】

[Gengar's Tip: It's hot today, so we recommend "Lily Root Herbal Tea"]

"Really...it's open?"

Genji looked at the service menu above and muttered to himself. Then he saw a purple Pokémon fly towards him.

"Kou Jie?"

Fang Yan was lying on a chair, reading a book on herbalism, when he heard Gengar's voice. He turned his head and saw someone standing outside the door.

He quickly had Gengar welcome the guest inside, then stood up and asked, "Hello, I am the owner of this breeding center, Fangyan. What would you like?"

Genji followed Gengar in. He stared blankly at the decorations inside, which were completely different from what he remembered. He only snapped out of his reverie when he heard Fang Yan's words.

"Hello, my name is Genji. I'd like to buy a Pokémon egg. I heard you sell them here."

Hearing Genji's words, Fang Yan nodded, then smiled and asked, "Mr. Genji, do you have any Pokémon eggs you'd like to buy?"

"this……"

Genji didn't know which Pokémon egg he wanted to buy.

"The type is also fine. For example, if you want to be a trainer, you can buy some powerful ones. Or if you need companionship, you can buy some gentle ones."

Upon hearing the dialect, Genji suddenly realized what was going on and quickly said, "I want a Pokémon to go fishing with me."

"Fishing? Mr. Genji is quite the seasoned angler."

Fang Yan glanced at him and said.

"To be honest, I only recently returned to Twinleaf Town. I spent my childhood studying, then went to high school, then university, and until I started working, I never had a Pokémon of my own. After working for a few years and saving up some money, I didn't want to live that kind of life of working day and night anymore, so I quit my job."

Genji scratched the back of his head, smiled, and continued, "Then I went back to Futaba Town and went to the beach every day to watch other people fish. I also became a little interested in fishing, so I wanted to buy a Pokémon to fish with me. Yesterday, I heard from Officer Jenny that a breeding center had reopened here, so I came here."

"Fishing is a refined hobby, and to be honest, Mr. Genji, I've been thinking of taking Gengar fishing sometime in the future."

Fang Yan spoke as he led Yuan Zhi toward the incubation room.

"By the way, the nursery is still the same nursery, but the owner has changed. The previous owner was my great-aunt."

Genji suddenly understood after hearing this.

"Since you want a fishing partner, a Water-type Pokémon would be best. How about a Swim-boosting Weasel?"

Fang Yan pointed to the Pokémon egg of the swim ring weasel and said to Genji.

"Swimming ring weasel..."

Genji recalled the orange Pokémon he had seen before, which was both cool and powerful.

"Okay, I'll take the swim ring ferret."

Genji nodded, then asked, "How much?"

"100,000 Alliance Coins".

Fang Yan said that Swim Ring Weasel is not a very rare Pokémon, so its price is relatively moderate.

"Okay, then I'll take it."

Genji nodded, his eyes fixed on the Pokémon egg in Fang Yan's arms.

Fang Yan took the stethoscope from Gengar and carefully examined the Swim Ring Weasel's egg in front of Genji.

【The Egg of the Swimming Ring Weasel】

[Incubation Status: 24/30]

"They're very healthy, and they'll hatch in just a few days."

Fang Yan said with a smile, then packed up the incubator and some other things that needed to be prepared, handed them to Yuan Zhi, and then gave Yuan Zhi some instructions.

Genji carefully carried the incubator containing the egg of the swimming ring weasel and paid for it.

We saw the first customer off from the nursery and watched him leave with the incubator in his arms.

"Great, Gengar, we finally have a customer."

Fang Yan tugged at the corner of Gengar's mouth beside him, breathed a sigh of relief, and said.

"Ugh...ugh...╮(‵▽′)╭"
