Pokémon: All About the Breeding House

In the backyard, the setting sun quickly swept across the grass, lake, and grassland, disappearing into the distance.

A group of people sat around a round table, enjoying the meal. Around them, a group of Pokémon were also enjoying the energy cubes that the local dialect had carefully prepared for them.

My energy block making skills have been greatly improved thanks to the dialect I carefully studied from my great-aunt's unknown friend's energy block manual.

A cool breeze, accompanied by the local dialect and the sweet, refreshing hand-thrown soda, washes away all the day's troubles in one sip.

"The chef's skills in using dialects are truly amazing."

Officer Jenny, while munching on the high-quality protein from the pig's trotter, spoke during a moment of free time.

The others remained silent, only nodding repeatedly.

Seeing everyone enjoying their meal so much, Fang Yan felt extremely gratified.

Nothing is more satisfying for a chef than seeing others enjoy the food they make.

Following Shana's directions, Fang Yan picked up a cola chicken wing for her.

Xia Lan swallowed the food in her mouth and raised her glass.

"According to your Donghuang tradition, shouldn't we clink glasses and say 'Happy Mid-Autumn Festival'?"

Joey and Officer Jenny nodded in agreement and raised their glasses, while Shana also raised her small glass.

Seeing this, Fang Yan smiled knowingly and raised his glass.

Happy Mid-Autumn Festival!

ping~

"Kou Jie~"

As always, a chubby little hand slipped in.

"Gengar, if you steal my pig's trotters again when I'm not looking, do you believe I'll spank you?"

Fang Yan, who was chatting with Xia Lan and the others, glanced down at her plate and found that the pig's trotter on her plate had disappeared again, while a chubby little boy next to her was happily gnawing on a pig's trotter.

"Kou Jie"

Humph.

Gengar turned away immediately, leaving its back to Fang Yan, as if it was ignoring him.

"..."

The others burst into laughter upon seeing this.

Shana, not understanding what was going on, held a cola chicken wing in her hand and munched on it. Her little eyes darted around, and she also started laughing.

During the event, everyone and all the Pokémon took a group photo.

The meal ended amidst everyone's laughter and chatter with the Pokémon. After cleaning up, Fang Yan packed two boxes of mooncakes for each of Xia Lan and the others to take back, and also packed two boxes for Shana.

After entrusting Shana to Officer Jenny and the others, asking them to take her home, Fang Yan stood at the door and patted her little head.

Shana enjoyed this action. She held the Pokémon egg in her arms, and she would squint her eyes when Fang Yan touched her little head.

He waved goodbye to them and watched them leave. Fang Yan closed the door of the breeding house and took Gengar back to the backyard.

The table in the backyard hadn't been cleared yet, and Fang Yan took out the Gengar cake she had made that afternoon from the kitchen.

"Gengar, come blow out the candles!"

Fang Yan placed the cake on the table, picked up the Lilyroot plushie, and called out to Gengar.

"Kou Jie—"

I'm here.

Once Gengar and Mighty had come to his side, Fangyan put candles on the cake.

"This is our first Mid-Autumn Festival together, and we are honored to be part of your family."

Fangyan asked Gengar to light the candles, glanced at Gengar and the others, and then said sincerely.

Because of you all, this place feels more like home.

"Kou Jie"

"Cough."

"Laji~"

The Pokémon were moved to tears, and Gengar immediately licked Fang Yan.

"Alright, alright, I got it. Enough with the sentimentality. Let's all blow out the candles now."

Fang Yan tried his best to push Gengar away and said helplessly.

"Kou Jie—"

Dialects are also used.

Gengar pulled Fangyan's shoulder.

At that moment, the moon overhead was like a bright white jade plate, and under its light, a Gengar cake was placed perfectly.

Place the lily root doll on the table, and the lily root doll, which used to be afraid of the dark, is no longer afraid.

Holding Lilyroot and Gengar's hands, Fang Yan took a deep breath.

"I'll count to three, and we'll blow together, three."

"Jie?! Σ(ﾟ∀ﾟﾉ)ﾉ"

Caught off guard by the dialect, Gengar quickly took a deep breath and blew out the candle.

Fang Yan laughed happily, then picked up a knife and started cutting the cake. While Gengar was distracted by the cake, she swiftly smeared cream on its face.

And lily root dolls, give them a good push.

This result provoked retaliation from Gengar and Mighty. Mighty hugged Fangyan tightly and then let Gengar smear cream on his face.

After a bit of playful fighting, everyone's face was covered in cream.

Fang Yan took a bite of the cake, left the rest to Gengar and the others, and then went back to her room to take a shower.

After taking a bath, I returned to the backyard, where Gengar and the others had already cleaned everything up.

Stretching, Fang Yan went to the lakeside, found an open grassy area, and lay down.

The fragrance of grass and the earthy smell filled the air as Fang Yan quietly gazed at the moon overhead.

The sky was full of stars, twinkling around the full moon.

He had forgotten how long it had been since he had properly looked at the stars. He vaguely remembered that in his childhood in his previous life, during the Mid-Autumn Festival, he and his family rolled up a straw mat and went to the rooftop to sleep. The family would sit on the mat and chat. He liked to listen to his parents' conversation while counting stars with his sister and pestering her to tell him stories.

I don't know when it started, but when I walk up to the street at night, there are only a few scattered stars. The sky is no longer full of stars like it was when I was a child.

Today, he saw the starry sky again and was momentarily stunned.

He heard a noise nearby. Gengar was lying next to him, along with Lilyroot.

Dali led Erli, while Sanli sat not far away, holding mooncakes in their hands, quietly watching the stars and the moon.

In the distance, several fireflies danced in the night sky, performing a geometric dance.

"Gengar, did you know that today's moon isn't the fullest? Tomorrow's moon will be the fullest."

Fang Yan suddenly spoke, putting his hand behind his head.

"Kou Jie?"

"The moon is fullest on the sixteenth day of the lunar month, not the fifteenth."

He muttered to himself in dialect.

Perhaps sensing that Fangyan's emotions were a bit off, Gengar moved closer to Fangyan.

Fang Yan couldn't help but laugh when he glanced at the Gengar moving closer to him.

"Do you know, there's a legend in our area. In the legend, there was a couple... and in the end, the wife flew to the moon."

The dialect was spoken softly, and the Gengar listened quietly.

"But I guess I'll ride Rayquaza up here."

Fang Yan smiled, reached out and hugged the lily root doll, rubbing its little head.

"Laji~"

A sweet, cloying voice rang out, and the lily root doll squinted its eyes.

Thank you.

He spoke softly in the dialect, then fell silent, quietly counting the stars.

Gengar glanced at Fang Yan, sensing that he was in a better mood, and then looked up at the moon overhead.

"口桀٩(º﹃º٩)"

It looks so delicious...

Then it took out a relatively large mooncake, and upon comparison, it was also round.

Then take a bite.

"Kou Jie—"

Fang Yan hugged her lily root doll, savoring a tranquility she had never experienced before. Her eyes blinked in sync with the twinkling of the stars.

Finally, she closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

The nights in Sinnoh are quite cold. A gust of wind blew by, and Fang Yan couldn't help but shiver.

Gengar finished eating the mooncake, then floated up and gently picked up Fang Yan with its psychic powers, slowly drifting towards the room.

Finally, I put him on the bed, covered him with a blanket, and then changed the soil in the flowerpot on the balcony with fresh soil. I moved it back to the room and placed it on the bedside table. Then I gently pried open Fang Yan's arms and placed the sleeping lily root doll on the flowerpot.

"Laji..."

"Kou Jie—"

After calming the Lilyroot Doll down, Gengar changed the room lights to a warmer tone before returning to the ceiling.

It doesn't need to train today because Nine-Tailed Fox said yesterday that training was over.

Inside the forest, a nine-tailed fox was also quietly looking up at the moon overhead.

It wasn't until the moon was obscured by dark clouds that it snapped out of its reverie, took one last look in the direction of the breeding house, and walked away without looking back.
