Pokémon: All About the Breeding House

Chapter 541 That Bottle of Golden Liquid

On the battlefield.

Xiao Mao and Ai Lan stood on it, gazing at each other.

Vladali walked to the referee's table, coughed, and then said, "Then let me be your referee."

Alain and Gary both took out Poké Balls and threw them out at the same time.

Charizard and Blastoise appeared on the battlefield, roaring at each other as they faced off.

"Charizard, breathe fire!"

"Use the water cannon!"

The powerful water cannon directly dispersed the jet flames and then blasted the Charizard away.

So strong!

Ai Lan's pupils contracted, and she raised her wrist.

"Keystone, answer my heart."

Charizard, Mega Evolution!

An extremely bright light erupted between the Key Stone and the Mega Stone, and Mega Charizard X appeared on the field.

"Dragon Claw!"

Super Charizard X flew straight towards Blastoise and slammed its claws down on its body.

Blastoise raised its hands and took the dragon's claws down, and then the wooden pendant on Shigeru's chest floated up out of thin air.

"Blastoise, we—are of one mind!"

Familiar words, familiar actions, familiar wooden sign.

Ai Lan stared at Xiao Mao in surprise.

The powerful bond force blew Mega Charizard X away, leaving it suspended in mid-air.

Mega Blastoise raised its head, its scarlet eyes coldly staring at Mega Charizard X.

"Water cannon!"

The single-barreled giant cannon on its back is aimed at Super Charizard X, and then it fires a terrifying jet of water.

"Get out of the way!"

Super Charizard X charges straight at Super Blastoise while using its water cannon.

"Dragon Claw!"

"Ice Fist!"

Mega Blastoise was knocked back by Dragon Claw, taking a few steps back. Then it raised its powerful arm, its fist filled with frost, and slammed it down heavily on Mega Charizard X's face.

The two Pokémon separated, and Gary looked at the Mega Blastoise and Mega Charizard X on the field, his breathing becoming heavy.

It's been so long since I've fought like this —

Since the Lily of the Valley Conference, he has traveled to many places for research and has also participated in battles to prevent his battle skills from declining too quickly. However, in terms of his strength, he is already one of the best trainers.

Therefore, it is difficult to encounter opponents who are evenly matched with oneself.

I never expected that Ai Lan would be so strong.

On the other side, Ailan was equally shocked.

That wooden sign —

No way?

Are they also from the animal shelter?

What is his relationship with the store manager who speaks in dialect?

Their strength should not be underestimated.

"Charizard!"

"Blastoise!"

"Dragon Pulse!!!"

Two enormous dragons collided in mid-air and began tearing at each other.

The aftershocks shattered the arena, and even Fladali had to stand behind the Flame Lion to withstand the shockwaves.

With the help of the Super Launcher, Mega Blastoise's Dragon Pulse tore apart Mega Charizard X's Dragon Pulse and then headed straight for Mega Charizard X.

The giant dragon swallowed Super Charizard X whole, causing a violent explosion.

The smoke dissipated.

The Charizard remained motionless in the deep pit.

Alain put away Charizard and looked at Gary, who also recalled Blastoise at that moment.

Xiao Mao walked up to Ai Lan, extended his hand, and said, "Thank you for your guidance."

Ai Lan reached out and shook his hand. "I lost."

Ai Lan looked at the spiky-haired boy in front of her, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "May I ask you something—"

square----"

Before she could finish speaking, Ai Lan's phone rang. As soon as she answered, Manon's voice, trembling with tears, came through the phone.

"Ailan! Ailan! Harry-kun has suddenly fainted—"

Ai Lan frowned. "Don't rush, I'll go back now. Don't be in a hurry."

"Okay—" Manon sniffed and responded.

Ai Lan hung up the phone, looked apologetically at Vladali and Shigeru, and said, "Excuse me, I have to leave for a bit."

"Is there a problem with Manon's chestnut?" Vladali asked.

Ai Lan nodded.

"I'll go with you; maybe I can help you."

"Thank you, Representative."

"Then I'll go too. I'm a breeder as well, maybe I can be of help."

Xiao Mao then spoke up.

Ai Lan looked at Xiao Mao and nodded.

"Okay, thank you for your help."

The group quickly arrived at Ai Lan's usual workplace. As soon as Ai Lan stepped inside, Manon ran out and threw herself into Ai Lan's arms.

"Ailan, Harry-kun, it—"

Ai Lan patted her head. "Don't rush, let me see what happened first. Where's Harry?"

"It's inside. Shana and the others said to let it lie on the bed and wait for you to come back."

"Well done," Ai Lan comforted her, then led the way into the room.

Xiao Mao, who was behind, paused for a moment when he heard Shana's name.

Shana?

Is this the Shana I know?

This question disappeared as soon as I stepped into the room.

Looking at the two little girls in princess dresses, Xiao Mao thought to himself, "It really is them."

"Brother Alan, Harry-kun—wait, Brother Shigeru, what are you doing here?" Shana spotted Shigeru behind Alan and asked in surprise.

"Long time no see, little Shana, little Tomoyo."

After greeting the two, Xiao Mao and Ai Lan went forward to check on Hali Li's physical condition.

"Its physical condition is very poor. It must have been affected by some unknown energy. Its physical strength is depleting very quickly. We must send it to the Pokémon Center."

Based on what he had learned at the breeding center, Shigeru made a simple analysis of Chestnut's physical condition and came to a conclusion.

"Okay, I'll send it over now."

"No need to go to the Pokémon Center. I have a medical team here, and the equipment here is the most advanced. Its energy is draining too quickly. The Pokémon Center is too far away."

Vladali then made the suggestion.

Tomoyo stared at Vladari in front of her, blinked, and seemed to be thinking about something.

Ailan glanced at Manon, then nodded.

Upon arriving at the research institute, which specializes in treating Pokémon, Frostbite placed Chespin on the bed and attached a series of instruments to Chespin to begin examining its physical condition.

"Xiao Shi is right, the energy of the chestnut is rapidly dissipating, but it has been stabilized by the instruments now," Vladali said, looking at the results on the instruments.

Manong looked at Halili, who was lying on the hospital bed with his brows furrowed in pain, and grabbed Ailan's clothes with his small hands, then squeezed them hard.

"Ailan, will Harry be alright?"

Manon looked up at Ailan and asked.

Ai Lan clenched her fists and comforted her, "It's okay, don't worry."

Vladali gave Ai Lan and Shigeru a look, then walked out of the ward first.

Ailan comforted Manon, then asked Shana and Tomoyo to take care of Manon for a while before leaving the ward.

Xiao Mao followed closely behind.

Outside the ward, Vladali stood in the corner, and Alan and Shigeru walked over.

"Representative, what's the situation with Halili Chestnut? —"

"The situation is terrible. If I'm not mistaken, it was affected by the Rainbow Rock and the energy fluctuations emitted by Primal Kyogre and Primal Groudon. It must have accidentally absorbed this emitted energy, which caused the energy in its body to become disordered, resulting in a severe loss of stamina. The machine can only be maintained for a short time."

"If we can't find a solution within a certain timeframe, then it might—"

Ai Lan looked towards the ward and could faintly hear Manon's sobbing and anxious inquiries.

Ai Lan clenched her fist and slammed it hard against the wall next to her.

He promised to protect Manon, but now he can't even protect her favorite Pokémon.

Just like when he faced Primal Groudon, he promised her that he would definitely resolve the matter, but he was instantly defeated by Primal Groudon in one move.

"Actually, there is a way out now," Vladali said after a moment of contemplation.

Ailan raised his head, looked at Vladali, and asked urgently, "What method?"

"We've been researching Mega Evolution recently and are close to success, but we're still missing some data on how Pokémon Mega Evolve during battle. If you'd like, go challenge those Mega Evolvers, and we'll analyze their energy based on your battle data. That might just be the way to save Chespin."

Shigeru stood to the side, his eyes fixed on Vladali.

He always felt that there was a ulterior motive behind Fradiley sending Alain to challenge a trainer who could use Mega Evolution.

But he had no idea what the other man was planning.

"A challenge—the messenger of Mega Evolution? Alright, I'll go!"

"The more the better, and try to avoid repetition."

Ai Lan nodded. "I understand."

"Okay, I'll give you a machine later. Once you carry it with you, I'll be able to capture your data fluctuations during battles."

"Yes."

"I'll go back later and ask some trainers who can Mega Evolve to come and battle you. All you need to do is defeat them and collect the data."

"I see."

Seeing this, Fladari nodded, then looked at Gary, "Researcher Gary, are you interested in the messengers of Mega Evolution? If you are, I can give you a device and arrange for you to battle other Mega Evolution trainers."

Xiao Mao smiled and shook his head. "Mr. Vladali, I know you are an excellent entrepreneur and a very kind-hearted one. As you know, I was invited here as a researcher, and the match was not part of my plan."

"I see—that's a real shame."

Vladali nodded and then said, "I'll contact them now. You guys—go in and keep Manon company for a bit. After all, she's still a child, and she can easily lose her composure in this kind of situation."

After saying that, Vladali left with his hands behind his back.

Xiao Mao stared at his retreating figure in silence.

After Alain and Vladari left, Alain looked at Shigeru and said, "Let's go."

Xiao Mao nodded and followed Ai Lan out of the corner and back into the ward.

When Shana and Tomoyo saw Shigeru enter, they rushed over. Shigeru looked at Alan, who was being held by Manon, nodded to him, and then led Shana and Tomoyo out of the ward.

Inside the ward, Manon pressed her head tightly against Ai Lan's stomach, tears streaming down her face.

"Ailan, do you think—do you think Harry might—"

Alan reached out and stroked her head, letting her vent for a while before pushing her away. Looking down at her tear-streaked face, he said gently, "Don't worry, Mr. Vladari just told me a way to save Harry, so you don't need to worry."

.

"Really?"

Ai Lan nodded. "I might need to go out and take care of some things, and look for what Harry needs to be rescued. Please take good care of Harry while I'm gone, and wait for me to come back, okay?"

"Ailan—are you—are you in danger?"

"Danger? No way." Ai Lan's eyes were firm.

I will protect you, including Harry.

"Don't worry, I'm very strong."

"Then you must be careful—"

"it is good."

outside the ward.

Shana and Tomoyo kept chattering and asking Shigeru questions.

"Brother Xiaomao, what are you doing here?"

"I was invited by Mr. Vladali to come and help."

"Brother Xiao Mao".

Tomoyo tugged at Shigeru's sleeve. Shigeru looked down at her, and she whispered, "Be careful, that uncle gives me a really bad feeling."

Xiao Mao frowned, squatted down, and asked, "How does it feel?"

"It's just—a really annoying feeling."

Tomoyo thought for a long time before speaking.

"I remember, when we first met him in the Hoenn region, Tomoyo also said that he looked like a big bad guy."

Shana spoke up.

"I see. Okay, I understand. I'll keep an eye on him. But how did you end up here? Shouldn't you be at the nursery? And how did you run into him in the Hoenn region?"

Shana and Tomoyo told each other everything that had happened recently.

Xiao Mao's mouth dropped open after hearing that.

Primal Kyogre? Primal Groudon? Mega Rayquaza?

The shop manager, who speaks in dialect, actually resolved this terrifying crisis again?

"By the way, Brother Xiaomao, what did that bad uncle say to you just now?" Shana asked curiously while munching on a sausage.

Manon had been crying so hard that she felt embarrassed to eat in front of others, so while they were outside, she took out her sausage and started eating it.

To this day, we still don't know how many sausages Shana kept in her crossbody bag.

Xiao Mao gave a brief explanation, and Shana's eyes started darting around after hearing it.

At this moment, Ai Lan pushed open the door of the ward and came out. He went to Shana and Tomoyo and asked them, "Could you please keep Manon company for the time being? I have some things to take care of."

Shana blinked, then spoke in a clear, crisp voice.

"Okay, no problem, Tomoyo and I will stay with her."

Ai Lan smiled upon hearing this, "Thank you."

"You're welcome. By the way, could you wait a moment before you leave? I'll go back and get some food."

"This—no problem. Should I have Charizard deliver it to you?"

"No need, I have Rapidash, Tomoyo, let's go."

After Shana finished speaking, she grabbed Knowledge's hand and ran down the stairs.

Only Alain and Shigeru remained in the corridor. Alain looked at Shigeru curiously and asked, "Do you know Shana and Tomoyo?"

"Of course I know them, they're the princesses of the nursery."

"So, you're from the animal nursery too."

"No, you're wrong. I'm not from the nursery. I was just the owner's student, and I studied there for a while."

"A student of the animal husbandry shop owner? A student of the shop manager who speaks in a dialect?"

"Do you know the shop manager who speaks in dialect?"

"Of course, he is very capable, and he also taught me a lot."

"That's just how he is; he always helps anyone without expecting anything in return."

Xiao Mao laughed as he recalled the days he received dialect instruction.

"My Keystone and Mega Stone were gifts from him."

Ai Lan: ————

I don't know why there's a sour smell suddenly.

What are you showing off?

My Keystone and Mega Stone were gifts from other people, okay!

After dismounting from the fiery horse, Tomoyo followed Shana and quickly ran up to her room.

"Little Shana, what do you want?"

Tomoyo stood at the door, a little out of breath from climbing six floors in one go.

Shana, also panting, took her backpack off the bed, unzipped it, and rummaged through all the snacks inside.

Countless sausages and other snacks.

"no."

Shana turned around and opened her suitcase, which was also full of snacks.

She didn't have any clothes, because all her clothes were in Tomoyo's suitcase.

"Found it!"

Tomoyo looked at the glass jar in Shana's hand. It was a very small jar, but it contained a drop of golden liquid.

"Sweet?!" Tomoyo covered her mouth.

"Did your uncle give you this too?"

"Hmph! Of course, who else would he give it to if not me? This is for my emergency use, and you have one too. Here, this is yours."

Shana then took out a small glass bottle and handed it to Tomoyo; inside was also a golden, sweet drink.

"Hmm... a little bit should be enough, right?"

Shana hesitated for a moment, then looked at Tomoyo, "Why don't you put yours back?"

Chiyo nodded.

As the twin stars of the breeding house, they understand perfectly how dialects can provide them with a sweet and timely solution.

This is the greatest treasure of the breeding house.

Every drop counts.

"let's go."

Shana stuffed the glass bottle into her pocket, then closed the door and pulled Tomoyo down the stairs.
