Pokémon: All About the Breeding House

After settling the queen bee and the three bees, Fang Yan went to Dali and the others.

Looking at the tree placed on the grass, Fang Yan examined it for a moment, then asked Dali to clean the branches and cut them into sections.

With a powerful punch, he formed a hand chop, which emitted a white light. As the hand chop fell, the tree was split into pieces.

After splitting the tree into the shape he wanted, Fangyan asked Gengar to take it to dry, as the wood used for carving needed to be dried for a while.

Then they gathered up the remaining branches and kept them for firewood.

After finishing all that, it was time for dinner. Fang Yan handed the Lilyroot Doll to Gengar so that Gengar could play with it, while she returned to the kitchen to prepare dinner.

Dali called to Erli and Sanli, and they headed towards the warehouse. They took out hoes, one for each of them, and walked towards the area that Fangyan had designated as a herb garden and vegetable patch. They cleared and prepared the area so that Fangyan could plant seeds directly there later.

I processed some fresh mushrooms I found in the forest and put them into a clay pot with other ingredients. I covered the pot and let it simmer. I also mixed other tree fruits I found with some vegetables from the refrigerator to make a tree fruit salad. I made a glass of chilled fruit and vegetable juice for myself and each of my Pokémon. Finally, I took out the meat from the refrigerator and processed it all to reward Gengar and Mighty.

After Gengar moved the table out, Fangyan brought a large pot of rice onto the table and shouted, "Dinner's ready!"

Dali and the others ran back carrying hoes.

"Cough."

It's just dry rice.

Looking at the Pokémon sitting obediently, Fang Yan smiled. Although there are only three Machamp Pokémon, Gengar and Mighty, and one Lilligant at the moment, Fang Yan believes that the family will have more members and become more lively in the future.

I'll raise a lot of Eevee, one of each form, and when I encounter danger, I'll bring them out, collect all the Eevee, and summon the Alpaca God.

Fang Yan fell into thought and couldn't help but nod, until a voice startled him awake.

"Kou Jie..."

I'm so hungry...

Coming to his senses, he saw the longing in the eyes of several Pokémon. Fang Yan apologized while serving them a large bowl of rice and a bowl of fresh mushroom soup.

Watching the Pokémon eat with such gusto, Fang Yan felt completely satisfied. Nothing is more fulfilling than seeing others enjoy the food you've cooked.

[The "Delicious Mushroom Soup" you cooked triggered a food-themed attack, boosting the mood of Gengar and the Machamp (Mighty, Strength II, Strength III). Their fatigue vanished, their efficiency increased, and there seem to be some other unknown effects?]

After dinner, Gengar was asked to wash the dishes, while Fangyan and Dali sat in the yard, holding hand-crushed tree juice in their hands and slowly drinking it.

Fang Yan was somewhat surprised to learn that Dali and the others had cultivated the herb garden and vegetable garden. Then, carrying the lily root doll, she followed them to take a look.

Seeing the neatly arranged herb garden and vegetable patch in front of him, Fang Yan had to admit that having Pokémon made the work much faster.

After praising the dogs a few times, Gengar floated over with a handful of sap from the Hand-crushing Tree, indicating that it had finished washing the dishes.

He also praised Gengar and, incidentally, Lilyroot.

When it comes to Pokémon, praising them is always a good idea.

Fangyan led them back to the breeding house and decided to go to Twinleaf Town the next morning to buy some herb seeds and vegetable seeds, and then buy some food to store in the refrigerator. There was a Gengar and three Machamp at home, and their appetites were too big.

The food I prepared for a week was gone in just two or three days, so this time I plan to buy more.

Thinking about how much money he spent renovating the breeding house, and how he had only sold one Pokémon egg so far, the money he had just earned was already going to be used to subsidize food, and he was even losing money.

My heart is ice-cold.

"Gotta, Gengar, we need to get moving and make some money!"

Fang Yan suddenly spoke seriously.

"Goblin!"

Gengar nodded in agreement.

How can I make money faster?

After thinking about it for a long time, Fang Yan finally decided to go to Shuangye Town to investigate first, and then ask Xia Lan and the others.

After deciding what she needed to do tomorrow, Fang Yan placed the lily root doll on the flowerpot on the balcony, then took a shower and went to bed.

……

The next morning, Fang Yan got up early, ate breakfast, trimmed the leaves on Lilyroot's head, placed it by the lake, asked Dali and the others to take good care of Lilyroot and watch the house, then took Gengar out, hung up a "Closed for Business" sign, and headed towards Twinleaf Town.

After a while, Fang Yan arrived in Twinleaf Town. He wiped the sweat from his brow and muttered to himself, "I must catch a rideable Pokémon in the future; walking like this is too tiring."

After saying that, he glanced at the Gengar hiding in his shadow behind him.

"It's a pity that Gengar can't be ridden."

He said regretfully in a dialect.

"Kou Jie? Σ(ŎдŎ|||)ﾉﾉ"

Upon arriving at the seed shop, an elderly woman with her hair covered in silver frost stood at the cashier.

The old lady packed the herb seeds and vegetable seeds that Fangyan needed into a bag, handed it to Fangyan, and asked with a smile:

"You're buying herb seeds, but do you even know anything about herbs?"

Fang Yan was paying when he heard his grandmother's question. He paused for a moment, then said, "I know a little."

Grandma nodded upon hearing this, then continued, "Do you know anything that can cheer someone up? My husband has been completely listless lately, he can't eat, and seeing a doctor hasn't helped. Sigh."

Grandma sighed deeply. She was very worried about her husband, who had been listless and unable to eat anything lately. She had heard that Fang Yan also knew about herbal medicine, so she asked him if he had any solutions.

When Grandma mentioned that the symptoms were listlessness, I remembered the leaves of the lily root dolls that were dried in the nursery. They were said to be able to restore vitality after being boiled in water. I wondered if that would work.

After thinking about it, Fang Yan decided to tell his grandmother. He asked her if she knew about the breeding house.

"You mean... the one that's already gone out of business?"

"Yes, but it's reopened after renovations. They have a herbal tea that can revitalize you. I don't know if it can solve Grandpa's problem, but I personally suggest you give it a try."

Fang Yan nodded and said softly.

Looking at the young man's handsome face with a gentle, confident smile, Grandma guessed who the owner of the nursery was. She nodded and said, "Well then, I'll take the old man there this afternoon. Is it open in the afternoon?"

"Open the door."

Fang Yan replied, then said goodbye to his grandmother and headed towards the mall.

As he walked along the road, he carefully observed the town of Sinnoh, the starting town in the game. Twinleaf Town is close to the ocean and has a port.

The houses on both sides of the street are neatly arranged, and Pokémon that live in harmony with people can be seen everywhere on the road, as well as Pokémon that gather around the trash cans.

The first two times I came here, I left after finishing my business and didn't get a chance to explore the place properly. Now, I took advantage of this time to wander around.

After touring around, he discovered that there were still considerable profits to be made in the world of food. Perhaps his own breeding farm could launch some better food in the future, such as desserts. He believed in his cooking skills and also in the recipes that his great-aunt had given him.

After shopping, Fang Yan headed towards the mall, bought a lot of food, left the address with the shopkeeper, and then led Gengar towards the breeding house.
