Pokémon: All About the Breeding House

August 16th, after lunch, Gengar's paradise (breeding house).

Fang Yan picked up the honey water that Gengar had prepared for him and Shana, took a sip, and then picked up the book on the Energy Cube quiz and continued to study it with great interest.

Gengar, meanwhile, was holding the photos that had been taken and printed a few days earlier, which it framed and displayed everywhere.

Gengar was constantly busy on the counter, on the walls, in the room, in the rest area, and in the stairwell.

In a moment, I'll ask Fang Yan to go upstairs and take a look, and in a moment, I'll ask Fang Yan to move to a different spot.

Fang Yan was about to say that there was no need to go to so much trouble, but was silenced by a look from it.

It's not advisable to provoke Gengar in this state; you can only cooperate with Gengar unconditionally.

Gengar clapped his hands and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"Kou Jie—"

That's it.

A group photo taken yesterday hangs in the corner of the stairwell, while a photo of it and Fangyan is placed on the counter and a photo of them on the bedside table in the room, respectively. The family photo of the nursery is placed on the dressing table in the room, together with a photo of the great-aunt.

The photos on the counter are mainly about Pokémon, and it has been decided that they will be used to display photos of guests and Pokémon eggs from now on, as well as on the walls.

What? You're asking why the counter is full of Pokémon photos, and why there's a picture of a dialect character and Gengar together?

Gengar offered the following explanation:

"Kou Jie—"

This is my home, and I'm happy here.

He handed the honey water to Gengar and said, "How about we take a picture every time we have a new member?"

"Kou Jie—"

Gengar finished drinking the honey water that Fang Yanchong had been given, and then nodded.

"Brother Genji didn't lie to us, the door is open again."

The noise outside the door attracted the attention of Fangyan and Gengar.

"Let's go in."

Two figures then walked in.

They were about the same age as Shana, one male and one female.

"Hello, I'm the owner here. What would you like to order?"

Fang Yan walked over and asked.

The boy was a little shy when he saw Fang Yan, but after glancing at the girl beside him, he swallowed hard and said:

"We...we want to buy two Pokémon eggs."

"I see? So, what Pokémon do you want?"

Fang Yan laughed when she saw the boy's expression.

The boy and girl shook their heads together.

"However, I want to challenge the gyms to participate in the league tournament, while she wants to participate in the Grand Tournament."

The boy gradually became bolder.

He saw the Gengar floating next to Fang Yan and thought it was very cool.

"I see. Then please come over and register your information."

Fang Yan nodded and led them to the counter to register their information.

The boy's name is Xiaochuan, and the girl's name is Xiaoting—names unique to the Pokémon world.

"Wow, so cute."

Xiaoting exclaimed in surprise when she saw the picture of the lily root doll on the counter.

"Boss...is this also one of your Pokémon farms?"

"Yes, it's Liliroot, a Pokémon from the Unova region, and currently our partner."

He explained with a smile, speaking in a dialect.

"Then...can I see him?"

Fang Yan nodded, and then Gengar passed through the wall and came to the backyard.

Soon after, Shana appeared from behind the counter, carrying an egg and a lily root doll.

Upon seeing outsiders, Shana hid behind Fang Yan. Fang Yan patted her head to indicate that everything was alright.

After they finished talking with the lily root dolls, they took them to the incubation room.

"By the way, boss, do you have the three original brands here?"

Looking at the various Pokémon eggs, Ogawa suddenly asked a question.

"No, the starter Pokémon don't usually appear at the breeding center, at least not here."

After answering in dialect, he began to introduce the Pokémon eggs to them.

"If you're challenging a gym, you can choose some powerful Pokémon, such as Weedle. Its final evolution, Xeno'jiiva, is also quite strong. As far as I know, Denji, the gym leader of Seashore City, has a Xeno'jiiva."

"Or you could say Swim-boosting Weasel. Its evolved form, Float-boosting Weasel, is also quite strong. Yoshinobu, the Gym Leader of Nohara City, has one too."

"Others, such as Aipom and Curly-ear, are also ones I would recommend."

Seeing Xiao Chuan struggling with his decision, Fang Yan didn't urge him. Instead, he turned to look at Xiao Ting.

"For the Contest, you can choose some Pokémon that are more suitable for the Contest, such as Aipom."

Fang Yan suddenly thought of a certain long-tailed monster with considerable strength but only wanted to participate in the Grand Contest, smiled, and spoke.

"There's also Glamour Cat, which combines elegance and beauty, or Wurmple, whose final evolution, Swallowtail, is also quite pretty and would be perfect for Contests."

"The remaining two, Aeonium 'Round Fairy' and 'Mimosa pudica', are also ones I personally recommend."

After saying that, he let them discuss it together. Fang Yan then went to Shana, who was hiding by the door, and gently persuaded her to take that step in her heart.

"I've made up my mind, boss, I want the cat monster."

Xiao Chuan spoke up, drawing Fang Yan's attention back to him. Fang Yan stood up and came to their side.

"Boss, I don't know what to choose, can you help me pick one?"

Xiaoting couldn't make a choice, and Xiaochuan only had a vague understanding of these things. She decided to ask the owner of the breeding center, since he had such an adorable lily root doll and his judgment couldn't be wrong.

"If I were to choose... I would recommend Charming Cat, since some people have won the Grand Contest with Charming Cat."

"Thinking of the mother of the heroine in 'Diamonds,'" Fang Yan recommended.

After all, Charming Cat is indeed elegant, beautiful, and has a gentle personality.

"Okay, then I'll choose Charming Cat!"

Fang Yan nodded, then took the stethoscope from Gengar and began examining the two Pokémon eggs in front of them.

[The Little Cat Monster's Egg] [Hatching Progress: 21/30]

【Charming Cat's Egg】【Hatching Progress: 23/30】

"They're all very healthy; they'll hatch soon."

Fang Yan put away his stethoscope and said with a smile.

"Then I'll entrust these two little ones to you. Remember to take good care of them."

"Yes! Don't worry!"

"Leave it to me!"

I gave them some instructions, and then I especially told Xiaoting that if she wanted to participate in the Grand Contest, she must not let Charming Meow evolve.

As we all know, the evolved form of Charmeleon is Meowth, which is fat because it is not as beautiful as Xi Shi. This is absolutely unacceptable for the Pokémon Contest, but it is not impossible, since the Contest is a competition of the charm of Pokémon.

"Um... Boss, we don't have much money with us, could you give us a discount?"

At this moment, Ogawa awkwardly spoke up.

"Don't worry," Fang Yan joked, "If you don't have enough money, you can stay and help me pay off my debts."

"ah?!"

"Are you stupid? The boss is joking with you and you can't even tell?"

Xiaoting grabbed Xiaochuan's ear and said with exasperation.

Fang Yan shook his head and started doing the math.

The kitten monster's egg is worth 100,000 Alliance Coins, and the charming cat's egg is worth 80,000 Alliance Coins, for a total of 180,000 Alliance Coins.

"A total of 175,000 Alliance Coins."

Their dialect gave them a slight discount.

Xiao Chuan breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this; this time they had taken 300,000 Alliance Coins with them when they went out.

After paying, Fang Yan took a picture of each of them holding a Pokémon egg, printed a copy, and gave it to them.

"May your military career prosper."

He saw them to the door and offered his blessings in his local dialect.

"Thank you, boss, and I wish you great success in your business."

After seeing them off, Fang Yan hurriedly returned to the breeding house, took out a Pokémon egg, placed it on the counter, and asked Gengar to call the others over. He then took his camera, turned on screen recording, and stared intently at the Pokémon egg with several Pokémon.
