Pokémon: All About the Breeding House

Chapter 69 Shigeru Oki (Please subscribe!)

Looking at the composed young man with reddish-brown spiky hair, Fang Yan spoke with a slightly different tone.

You're already in the Sinnoh region, does that mean Ash will be coming soon?

Fang Yan thought to himself.

After all, Ash went on a trip to the Sinnoh region because his Pikachu was defeated by the boy's Electivire, and then he went to Sinnoh because of something the boy said.

His strength can be considered Ash's formidable rival, and in the early stages, he was the one who constantly spurred Ash to grow stronger.

"Hello, my name is Shigeru Oki."

Xiao Mao greeted him politely.

"dialect."

He said it in dialect, and then asked Xiao Mao.

"So, is there anything you need?"

Hearing the dialect, Xiao Mao hesitated for a moment, then spoke:

"I am a Pokémon researcher. After I finished traveling in the Sinnoh region, I went to Professor Yamanashi's laboratory in Sandstone Town. I planned to say goodbye to him and return to the Kanto region. Later, Professor Yamanashi said that if possible, I could come to the breeding center to learn."

Xiao Mao was exceptionally polite to the young man in front of him.

"I wonder if this is acceptable—"

Before he could finish speaking, he saw a Gengar float over through the wall.

"Kou Jie?"

Are you a guest?

"Wait a minute."

Fang Yan said something to the Gengar beside him, then turned to look at Xiao Mao and asked:

"Excuse me, I didn't hear what you said in your last sentence."

Xiao Mao repeated it again.

"Would you mind if I could take a look around the nursery? Thank you."

The immense power he sensed from Gengar and the photo of him with Sinnoh Champion Cynthia displayed on the counter made Gary unconsciously think that Fang Yan was a powerful trainer.

"I see—"

He paused for a moment in his dialect, then nodded.

"all right."

Thank you very much.

Xiao Mao bowed.

It seems that since becoming a Pokémon researcher, Gary has become much more reserved and composed.

Looking at the exceptionally polite Xiao Mao in front of him, Fang Yan couldn't help but think to himself.

"Shopkeeper, may I ask what region this Pokémon is from? It's not in the Sinnoh Pokédex."

Hearing Xiao Mao's words, Fang Yan came back to her senses, looked at the lily root doll on the counter, smiled, and then hugged it to her chest.

"It's a Lilyroot Doll from the Unova region, isn't it cute?"

Fang Yan gently fiddled with the leaves on its newly trimmed top and asked with a smile.

The lily root doll let out a sweet cry, and it loved to fiddle with the leaves on its head.

Then Fang Yan looked at the Umbreon at Xiao Mao's feet and watched its moves.

"Umbreon? That's quite powerful."

Fang Yan couldn't help but say.

As expected of Ash's formidable rival, Umbreon's moves are so impressive.

Hearing Fang praise his Umbreon, Shigeru couldn't help but smile.

"Buee~"

"Come on, I'll show you around my breeding house."

After speaking in dialect, Fang hugged the lily root doll, turned around, and went through the door behind the counter, leading Xiao Mao through the kitchen to the backyard.

As soon as Gary walked through the kitchen and into the backyard, he saw many Pokémon playing and fighting with each other.

"Are these all Pokémon from the nursery?"

Looking at the group of Pokémon in front of him, Gary asked curiously, "Most of them are forest Pokémon, not from the nursery. They just came here to play."

The dialect explained a sentence.

"Pokémon of the forest? Aren't you afraid that Gary's family lab also has a lot of trainers' Pokémon, and dealing with the problems caused by these Pokémon's personalities every day is incredibly troublesome. Even with the help of many assistants, his grandfather Professor Oak still has a headache."

Now that this breeding center is letting wild Pokémon in, aren't they afraid of causing any damage?

Fang Yan knew what Xiao Mao wanted to express, and he answered Xiao Mao's question as he walked forward.

"The nursery and the forest are friends, so there's no need to worry about the nursery suffering any losses."

"friend?"

Fang Yan stopped and then shouted loudly.

"Everyone!"

The Pokémon in the nursery all looked over, then ran over and, under Gengar's resentful expression, took the Energy Cubes from Gengar's hand and distributed them one by one.

Looking at the orderly Pokémon, Gary was somewhat surprised.

It wouldn't be so surprising if they were captured Pokémon, but these are all wild Pokémon.

Fang Yan then looked at the Pokémon whose hearts were wounded. They saw a stranger with Fang Yan and didn't dare to come closer.

Fang Yan walked towards them, carrying the lily root doll.

Gary followed behind with Umbreon.

Fang Yan came to Poison Rose's side.

He put the lily root doll down and then whispered something to the poisonous rose.

Xiao Mao stood not far away; he heard the dialect voice and observed the condition of the poisonous rose.

He then followed Fang Yan to find several other Pokémon in the same situation.

After Fang Yan finished his work, Xiao Mao followed him away from the Pokémon before asking:

"These are..."

"They came to the breeding center a few days ago; we rescued them from Pokémon hunters."

The speaker gently recounted their stories in dialect, pausing at the end.

Continue speaking:

"So, let them stay in the nursery, let other Pokémon play with them, and then slowly heal their hearts."

"At the same time, I hope they can recover in the nursery and then choose the life they want."

"This is also the hope of everyone in our nursery."

Xiao Mao did not respond to the dialect.

As Professor Oak's grandson, he was very familiar with Pokémon and was also a Pokémon trainer, but later chose to become a Pokémon researcher.

Therefore, he could sense the resistance the group of Pokémon whose hearts had been wounded felt towards him, as well as their acceptance of the dialect.

So what was said in dialect just now wasn't unfounded.

"uncle."

Shana brought them over as the bells rang.

"Is this the older brother who came to foster his Pokémon?"

Shana looked at Xiao Mao next to Fang Yan and asked in a clear voice. Fang Yan shook his head, "No, he just came to visit our breeding house."

Shana said "Oh," and then cautiously asked Xiao Mao, "Brother, can we play with it for a while? It's so pretty."

Following Shana's pointing finger, Gary looked at his Umbreon, then at Shana, who had her hair in a silver bun and was wearing a cute princess dress, and nodded with a smile.

"all right."

After receiving a positive response, Shana took Umbreon back to the swing tree and they played together.

Fang Yan watched Shana's retreating figure, then gently told Xiao Mao about Shana and the lily root doll.

Finally, Fang Yan spoke up, "Actually, I opened this breeding center simply to fulfill my great-aunt's last wish, but without realizing it, I've become a source of support for many people. Without me, they might take a long time to recover, and without her and Gengar, this breeding center might not have been open for so long. Therefore, the relationship between humans and Pokémon is far more than just a superior-subordinate one."

He spoke to Xiao Mao in a dialectal tone.

As far as he knew, this was a period when Gary was changing his views on the relationship with Pokémon, which is why he said that.

It could also be considered a little prank of his, a form of guidance for Ash's rival that wasn't exactly instruction.

Gary looked at the Gengar next to Fang Yan, then at Shana, then at Lilyroot, and finally at the entire breeding house, remaining silent for a long time.
