Pokémon: All About the Breeding House

Chapter 562 Dialect Class Begins

"There are fewer people than I expected," Fang Yan said, looking at the students dressed in Zhuqing Academy uniforms.

The teacher in charge smiled and said, "There are only 12 people in our class."

"So few?" Fang Yan was a little surprised. "I thought a class should have at least fifty students."

"Our school has many classrooms and many teachers, so after dividing the students out, there are only about a dozen left."

Fang Yan nodded and let them go into the breeding shed first.

Inside the enclosure, the super-powerful kitten sister had already prepared milk tea and desserts.

"Professor Dialect, I am the teacher in charge here. My name is Xia Xiamu, and I am also a professor who studies Pokémon friendship."

"Pokémon friendship?" Fang Yan poured him a cup of tea, then said, "I don't think there are many people researching this area, are there?"

"There really aren't many." Xia Xiamu picked up her teacup and took a sip. "I was originally planning to give up on this area because there are too few researchers in it, and it's not easy to get results."

"However, after reading your paper, I found a new direction. Perhaps we can improve our bond with Pokémon by focusing on the breeding level."

Fang Yan nodded. "This in itself is an area worth studying."

At this point, Fang Yan couldn't help but mutter to himself.

Really? Not many people have studied friendship levels in Pokémon?

Isn't this a bit unreasonable?

He remembered that there were quite a few Pokémon that required friendship to evolve.

The most classic ones are Umbreon and Espeon, as well as Togepi.

Whether there are many or few researchers is none of his business; he's just an ordinary breeder's owner.

"How do you need me to cooperate this time?" Fang Yan asked Xia Xiamu in front of him.

"Professor Dialect, if it's possible, could we take a closer look at how your breeding center cares for Pokémon today?"

"Of course." Fang Yan nodded. "However, our nursery is a bit special. If you have any questions, you can ask me or our nursery staff."

"I am truly grateful," Xia Xiamu said to Fang Yan.

Fang Yan thought for a moment, then asked, "By the way, does the Pokémon Breeder course at Zhuqing Academy teach how to care for Pokémon eggs?"

"That's natural, but the content didn't go into depth."

Fang Yan said to Xia Xiamu, "If they're willing, I can teach them how to take care of Pokémon eggs."

"Thank you so much!" Xia Xiamu stood up and bowed deeply to Fang Yan.

"You're welcome, you're welcome, no need to be so polite." Fang Yan quickly invited him to sit down, then looked at the children sitting on the chairs in the rest area, curiously looking around.

"Shall I take you to the backyard now?"

"This is troublesome."

To be honest, I felt very uncomfortable when someone older than me treated me with such respect and spoke with such honorifics, especially when they were speaking in a dialect.

"Don't call me Dialect Doctor anymore, just call me Dialect Shop Manager. By the way, don't use honorifics when you speak, I'm a little uncomfortable with that."

"Yes, Manager Fangyan."

Fang Yan stood up and led them to the backyard.

When Xia Xiamu arrived at the backyard, he felt enveloped in a sense of comfort, making him want to spend his remaining years there.

Actually, he's only in his thirties.

He looked at the vast backyard, where Pokémon could be seen everywhere. The entire backyard had been divided up by Fang Yan according to the plan.

The three hardworking bees are collecting nectar in the flowerbed, while the large milk jug and the riding goat are being milked, producing cow's milk and goat's milk.

Miss Skirt strolled through the vegetable garden with a basket in her hand, picking the vegetables she wanted to eat for lunch.

Bictini sat on a fruit tree, eating tree fruit.

Wait, what is that? A Victini?

Xia Xiamu pushed up her glasses to see more clearly.

Is it really Victini from the Unova region?

How did it end up in the dialect shopkeeper's breeding shed?

And that singing Pokémon, if I'm not mistaken—it should be Meloetta?

And—a shrine? Two of them?!

this----

No wonder the shopkeeper with the dialect is also a top breeder. With this level of skill, he can even train legendary Pokémon. How could he not be a top breeder?

Fang Yan stood beside Xia Xiamu and said, "You can visit many places in the backyard, but be careful not to go to the places in the forest area with the Queen Bee sign. That's the Queen Bee's residence. Also, don't go into the forest behind the breeding house alone to avoid accidents."

"I understand," Xia Xiamu nodded.

"Okay, feel free to ask me anytime if you have any questions. I'll be sitting in the garden or the rest area of ​​the breeding house." After saying that, Fang Yan turned around and walked towards the garden.

"Oh, right." Fang Yan stopped, turned around, clapped his hands, and drew the attention back to all the students who were unable to contain themselves.

Fang Yan looked at the group of students from Zhuqing Academy and said with a smile, "You can touch the Pokémon in the yard, but please be careful not to be reckless or do anything to hurt them, or I will have Dali plant you in the ground as ginseng."

"Yay!"

The students cheered.

Seeing this, Fang Yan nodded to Xia Xiamu, then walked to the garden and sat down.

"vigorously."

Fang Yan called out, and Dali immediately came to Fang Yan's side.

Looking at the incredibly strong Dali in front of him, Fang Yan gave him a few words of advice: "You and Erli and Sanli should keep your training quiet these days, so as not to accidentally hurt these children. You know, children like excitement, but not all of them are like Xiaoshana."

Dali nodded vigorously, indicating that he understood.

Fang Yan patted its arm and said, "Go."

After Dali left, Fang Yan spoke a few more words to Mrs. Fujino, asking her and Mr. Fujino to teach them how to clean Pokémon if possible.

Finally, he asked the Hawk to keep an eye on them to prevent them from running off to the wrong places or encountering any danger.

Although there is almost no danger in the backyard.

After arranging everything, Fang Yan lay down on the old-fashioned chair, rubbing Jiuwei's head and lazily rocking the chair.

The sun shines brightly, and the flowers smile at me.

A gentle autumn breeze blew as Fang Yan rubbed Jiuwei's head and sang a children's song.

Gengar has disappeared again. It didn't even watch its favorite cartoon today, and I don't know where it went to bother other Pokémon.

Lately, more and more Pokémon have been coming to the breeding center to complain about it. They say it either scares other Pokémon or sings loudly in other forests, making all the Pokémon in those forests dizzy.

I don't know where I watched that TV show about singing recently, but Gengar has become obsessed with singing. It can't even handle the complaints from other Pokémon in the forest.

It's better to let it sing outside than to let it show off its singing voice in the breeding house, right?

After it became obsessed with singing, even the Queen Bee was a little uneasy and came to ask Fang Yan if that fat guy had changed his ways, given up his life of stealing honey, and was no longer planning to steal honey.

Fang Yan simply smiled faintly at this.

Not stealing honey?

You'd be better off believing that it doesn't steal honey than believing that my body is as strong as Ash's!

Ignoring Gengar, Fang Yan lay down on the old chair and slowly fell asleep.

On the other side, Mr. Fujino prepared the cleaning tools, looked at the students surrounding him, and said with a smile, "Next, it's time to clean the big milk tanks."

At this moment, a student raised his hand and asked, "Uncle, do you still need to wash the big milk tank in such cold weather?"

Mr. Fujino replied with a smile, "Don't worry, it's still autumn, it's not that cold, and we'll be using warm water."

Mr. Fujino skillfully aimed the water hose at the Milk Tank leader, then turned on the water valve, and the water jet poured onto the Milk Tank, making it comfortably squint its eyes.

"Actually, taking care of Pokémon is one way to raise them. Raising Pokémon isn't just about teaching them new moves," Mr. Fujino said. "Taking care of their feelings is also a form of raising Pokémon. We all know that Miltank's MooMoo milk tastes delicious."

"I know that, I really like drinking Moo Moo Fresh Milk."

"I like it too." Mr. Fujino smiled and continued, "Actually, the taste of Moo Moo milk produced by the Milk Tanks changes depending on their mood. If they are in a bad mood, the taste of the Moo Moo milk will be worse, and the nutritional value will also be greatly reduced."

"So when we take care of large tank dogs, we usually consider their feelings. For example, as that student just mentioned, do large tank dogs need to be bathed in such cold weather?"

"Actually, it wasn't necessary originally, because large milk tanks don't need to be cleaned frequently in a short period of time."

"But please don't forget that different big milk tanks have different personalities. Some big milk tanks may feel that it is normal to wash their bodies only once in a long time, but some big milk tanks will feel very uncomfortable."

For example, the large milk tankers in our nursery love to take a bath every day because it makes them happy and increases their milk production.

"When breeding Pokémon, we need to adapt to the real situation. Most of what is taught in books is just theory. If you want to become an excellent breeder, you need to combine the knowledge in the books with reality."

"Each Pokémon has its own unique personality and preferences, so when we face this situation, we should raise and care for them according to their preferences."

While washing Miltank's body, Mr. Fujino said, "For example, there was a trainer who put a Blaziken in our breeding house and entrusted us to take care of it."

Can you guess what kind of personality that Blaziken has?

The students shook their heads.

Mr. Fujino chuckled and said, "It likes to stay in the water and swim. Doesn't the book say that Fire-type Pokémon generally hate water? So what do you do when you encounter a Blaziken that likes to swim?"

"Let it swim," a female student replied.

"That's right, we need to design the methods for raising and caring for them according to their interests and preferences."

Mr. Fujino took the hose and rinsed the giant milk tank leader, cleaning off the foam. Then he took out a large towel and dried its body.

Mr. Fujino patted the leader of the Milk Tanks on the butt, indicating that it was done. Only then did the leader of the Milk Tanks wag its tail and walk away into the distance.

Then the second large milk can came over. Mr. Fujino turned around, looked at the children around him, and said with a smile, "Does anyone want to come and try it?"

The students looked at each other, and finally the girl raised her hand.

"I."

"Okay, come here then, I'll teach you how to clean the big milk jug."

"Okay." The female student quickly ran forward.

Under Mr. Fujino's guidance, she began to clean the large milk jug in front of her.

That's how learning works. Some people may disagree with certain viewpoints or even scoff at them, but others will actively learn and enrich their own knowledge of education.

Meanwhile, Mrs. Fujino was leading another group of students in analyzing the habits of some Pokémon, such as the Xeno'jiiva family living in the breeding center.

"Xeno'jiiva is a gentle Pokémon that dislikes bullying the weak."

Mrs. Fujino explained in detail from the side.

In another vegetable garden, two other students were chatting with Miss Skirt.

Miss Skirt looked at them standing in front of her and felt a little helpless.

I can't tell you anything about cultivation.

Besides, even if I explained it, you wouldn't understand.

The morning passed quickly. After Xia Xiamu led them to the canteen for a meal, they rested in the rest area for a while.

"Clap clap clap." Fang Yan clapped his hands and walked out from behind the counter, looking at Xia Xiamu and his students sitting in the rest area.

"Next, I will teach you about Pokémon eggs. Listen carefully."

Seeing that all the students were taking it seriously, Fang Yan nodded in satisfaction.

"Let's go, I'll take you to the incubation room."

Fang Yan arrived at the entrance of the hatchery, turned back to look at them, and said, "Remember, no loud noises or touching other Pokémon eggs inside the hatchery, understand?"

"Understood!"

Fang Yan led the way inside, then took a Pokémon egg from the incubator and placed it on an empty table.

"Come here, everyone, form a circle."

The students spontaneously formed a circle.

Gengar, having had its fill of being the King of Songs, returned to the breeding house and floated above the hatchery, keeping an eye on the children for Fang Yan to prevent them from ignoring warnings and touching the Pokémon eggs themselves.

Fang Yan took out a regular stethoscope and a flashlight, and gently patted the shell of the Pokémon egg.

"Actually, the knowledge about Pokémon eggs is not complicated. You only need to remember three points. First, what type of Pokémon the egg belongs to, because different types of Pokémon have different temperature requirements."

Secondly, I have a general understanding of the hatching time for Pokémon of each type.

Third, adaptability —

As the dialect began to speak, today's dialect lesson officially commenced.
