Pokémon: All About the Breeding House

Back at the nursery, Fang Yan carried the seeds and headed towards the herb garden and vegetable patch.

After planting the seeds as instructed by his grandmother, Fang Yan said to Dali, "Please take good care of the herbs and vegetables inside from now on, so they don't get eaten by some bird Pokémon."

They stared intently, their faces serious; they understood the importance of these seeds.

They then turned their gazes around, searching for any Pokémon that could threaten the area.

Seeing their appearance, Fang Yan couldn't help but chuckle, then said, "Don't worry so much. Just make sure they don't get eaten by bird Pokémon. Gengar will take care of the watering, right, Gengar?"

Turning to look at Gengar beside him, he saw that it had already pulled out a Blastoise spray bottle from its two-dimensional stomach, eager to try it out.

After teaching Gengar how to water plants, Fangyan went to pick up Lilyroot Doll.

"Lily Root Doll, you can come here when you have time. The soil here is very fertile. You can try to gather your Grass-type energy here to help them grow faster."

Hearing the dialect, the lily root doll looked at the land in front of her with the same serious expression.

"Laji".

Seeing that they seemed to like it, Fang Yan stopped talking and just clapped his hands: "Thank you all for your hard work."

"Cough."

"Kou Jie"

"Laji".

After finishing all that, the food I bought arrived. Fang Yan went over and froze the food, then took out some to make a hearty lunch. After lunch, Gengar washed the pot as usual, while Fang Yan went to the breeding house, opened the door, hung up the sign that said "Open for Business," and quietly sat in front of the counter waiting for customers to arrive.

He was engrossed in reading a book about how to make energy cubes.

After a long while, the breeding house welcomed two guests.

A white-haired grandmother led a listless old man to the entrance of the nursery. They looked at the nursery's information panel and saw that the doors were already open.

"Old woman, the door is really open now."

Grandpa spoke first.

"How could that young man possibly lie to us? Let's go inside."

After Grandma finished speaking, she pulled Grandpa into the breeding shed.

"Old woman, this is really something..."

Before Grandpa could finish speaking, a purple Pokémon floated down in front of them.

"Kou Jie?"

Is there anything you need?

Grandpa was lost in thought as he looked at the well-behaved Gengar in front of him.

"Grandma, you've arrived."

Fang Yan put down his book, came to Gengar's side, and said.

"So it really is you who owns it. Didn't you say this morning that you had a herbal tea? So I brought my husband over to take a look."

Grandma looked at Fang Yan in front of her. Although her kind face was smiling, there was still a clear look of worry on it.

Seeing this, Fang Yan nodded, helped his grandmother and her husband to sit down, asked Gengar to help take care of them, and then turned and went into the kitchen.

Upon arriving in the kitchen, Fang Yan took out the dried lily roots and leaves, then took out a clay pot, placed them in the pot, added water, covered it, and turned on the heat to bring it to a boil.

Grandma in the hall looked at Gengar in front of her and asked gently, "Child, you're his Pokémon, right? How long have you known each other?"

Gengar nodded, then stretched out a hand.

"Kou Jie"

"Only five days? You seem to really like it."

When Gengar heard his grandmother's words, he grinned and showed off his full set of white teeth.

"Kou Jie"

Fangyan also really likes Gengar.

Grandma's worries lessened considerably after sensing the emotions emanating from Gengar.

Then the two of them and their Pokémon started chatting.

Grandpa sat in his chair, dozing off. He listened to Grandma and Gengar's voices, feeling somewhat dazed. He didn't know how long it had been since he had seen his wife talk to a Pokémon for so long. So, as he listened to the intermittent sounds, he slowly drifted off to sleep.

In his dream, he dreamt of the first time he met his grandmother. At that time, he had lofty ambitions and wanted to become a great Pokémon breeder. Later, because of a Pokémon, he formed a deep bond with his grandmother and finally decided to spend his life with her...

Grandpa, who was deep in his dream, felt someone pushing him. He slowly opened his eyes and saw the face of the girl from his dream. However, her hair was now covered with silver and her face was covered with wrinkles.

But she is still beautiful and charming.

"Old woman, you are so beautiful."

Grandpa looked at the familiar face in front of him and said something.

"You rascal, what nonsense are you spouting?"

The old woman raised her hand and gently pinched her grandfather's arm.

"..."

This display of affection warmed Fang Yan's heart. Watching her grandparents flirting, Fang Yan couldn't help but smile.

A lifelong relationship is always beautiful and precious.

"Get up quickly, the young man has already brewed some herbal tea."

Urged by his grandmother, the grandfather finally looked at Fang Yan, who was holding a steaming bowl of cold tea.

Grandma took the herbal tea from Fang Yan's hand and gently blew on it.

Actually, when it was served, Fang Yan had already turned it back and forth between two bowls to speed up the cooling process.

However, at this moment he stood next to Gengar, quietly watching his grandmother blow on the cool tea to cool it down before handing it to his grandfather.

Indeed, this is the ideal world of Pokémon.

He glanced at the Gengar beside him, then tugged at the corner of its mouth.

"Luckily, Gengar is here with me."

Fang Yan sincerely thanks Gengar for the most important thing he did in opening his breeding house here: companionship.

This is also why Fangyan was determined to renovate the breeding house, partly because of his great-aunt and partly because of Gengar.

"Kou Jie"

Gengar's mouth was pulled open, but it didn't mind. In fact, it really enjoyed having Fangyan play with it like this, sticking out its scarlet tongue and laughing heartily.

Grandpa took the herbal tea from Grandma, tested the temperature, and then drank it all in one gulp.

Fang Yan and his grandmother both focused their attention on him.

"It's so bitter..."

Grandpa had barely finished speaking when he felt a sense of disbelief, his eyes widened, and then he stood up.

"I haven't felt this energetic in a long time."

Grandpa straightened up; he was still quite healthy, but his spirits weren't good, which made him look a bit listless. However, after drinking the lily root herbal tea brewed by Fang Yan, everything felt better.

"It looks like it's working."

Fang Yan said with a smile.

"Yes, I don't know how long it's been since I've seen him so energetic," Grandma said, her eyes filled with tears as she looked at Grandpa moving around.

Just like when we first met, full of energy.

"Thank you, young man."

Grandpa came to Fangyan and sincerely thanked him.

Grandma too.

Fang Yan accepted the thanks without hesitation.

"But what does this herbal tea mean? I've never heard of it before."

Grandpa was a little puzzled; it was the first time he had ever heard the term "herbal tea."

"Herbal tea is what our Donghuang Alliance calls it. It's similar to traditional Chinese medicine, but there are some differences."

Fang Yan replied with a smile, then continued, "This is something my great-aunt taught me."

Thinking that they might know her great-aunt, Fang Yan specifically mentioned, "She was one of the previous owners of this animal husbandry shed."

"Oh, is Sister Jasmine your great-aunt?"

Grandma exclaimed in surprise.

Fang Yan nodded with a smile.

He then learned some information about his great-aunt from his grandmother and grandfather.

Just as Xia Lan and the others said, in the eyes of their grandparents, their great-aunt was a person respected by everyone.

Fang Yan returned to the kitchen, put the remaining lily root herbal tea into a bottle, and handed it to her grandmother along with a few lily root leaves.

He taught Grandma how to brew lily root herbal tea using lily roots and leaves. The amount of leaves was enough for four days, plus today's, for a total of five days. Each serving cost 500 Alliance Coins, but Fang Yan only charged Grandma 2000 Alliance Coins.

After saying goodbye to his grandma and grandpa, Fang Yan handed the money to Gengar as pocket money, while he looked at the prompt in front of him.

[Breeder 2: Breeders need to pay attention to the Pokémon's mood and condition at all times. Of course, a truly excellent breeder should not stop at just the Pokémon.]

[The girl and boy met, fell in love, and spent their lives together through Pokémon. Thank you for solving their long-standing problem. They created beautiful and happy memories of traveling together in their youth, and now they are leaving that happiness and beauty to you.]

[Blessed by both grandparents: Your luck seems to be improving over the next week.]

Grandpa and Grandma left you a gift, come and see: a lucky egg.

Lucky Egg: An egg brimming with happiness; the Pokémon carrying it will receive a slight boost in experience points.

Looking at the endless stream of notifications, Fang Yan couldn't help but sigh.

At this moment, Gengar finished depositing the money, passed through the wall, and came to Fangyan's side.

"Gengar, I think I'm starting to understand what kind of breeder would be right for me."

Before Gengar could speak, Fang Yan continued, "It seems that herbal tea is also a good choice, as a business of the breeding center."

"Kou Jie?"

Gengar was a little confused, but quickly put those doubts aside.

"Kou Jie~"

I'll accompany him no matter what he does.
