Pokémon: All About the Breeding House

Chapter 70 Xiao Mao: Can I Stay? (Please Subscribe!)

Fang Yan was puzzled as he looked at Xiao Mao, who had suddenly fallen silent.

Although I don't know what he's thinking, to be fair, he quite liked Xiao Mao in his past life, from his initial arrogance and pride to his eventual maturity and reliability.

Especially the highlights of the journey, no wonder he was Ash's formidable rival at the beginning of his travels.

In particular, he himself is a Pokémon enthusiast.

After waiting a while, Xiao Mao still hadn't spoken, so Fang Yan had to continue:

"Do you know why the Gengar's breeding center is called 'Gengar's Paradise'?"

Xiao Mao shook his head.

"Because this is a business I started with Gengar, I named it after Gengar."

"And the paradise is what I hope this place will be a paradise for Pokémon, a place where they can temporarily forget their troubles, play with a group of like-minded Pokémon, relax their minds, and grow up happily with their friends."

"It's not just Pokémon, it's people too. Whether you're a famous trainer or just an ordinary person, you come here and, with the company of Pokémon, you can take a good rest."

Who could resist sitting in a chair in the backyard, surrounded by Pokémon, basking in the sun and quietly watching them frolic, with a fluffy Pachirisu nestled in their lap?

No matter who tries to calm you down, your tense nerves will finally relax.

Thinking of this, Fang Yan couldn't help but laugh.

Anyway, I can't refuse.

"Excuse me, shopkeeper, may I browse around by myself? It might be a bit awkward." "No problem, go ahead."

Before Xiao Mao could finish his polite words, Fang Yan waved his hand, indicating that he didn't mind.

"As long as it doesn't disturb the Pokémon in the nursery, it's fine."

"Please rest assured."

Shigeru nodded, then looked under the swing tree. Umbreon was playing with Shana, Bell, and other Pokémon. He didn't call it over, but after answering in dialect, he wandered around the backyard of the breeding center.

Fang Yan shrugged as he watched Xiao Mao's retreating figure.

Although he didn't know what Dr. Yamanashi had said to him that made him want to come and study, or what he wanted to study, he didn't seem to have anything he could teach him.

Since he wants to visit the breeding center by himself, let him go on his own. This will also free up some time for me to arrange the breeding center tournament a few days later.

Xiao Mao was walking alone in the backyard.

When passing through the grassland area, we will stop to observe Oddish and Mimosa, and then cross the grassland area to arrive at the lake area, where Azullie and Psyduck are spraying each other with water guns, and Lilycove and Roselia are whispering to each other.

Standing by the lake, with my face reflected in the water, I was lost in thought when a blue and white squirrel appeared on my shoulder in the water.

A weight settled on his shoulder, and as he turned to look, he saw a Pachirisu perched on his shoulder, holding a berry in its hands.

"Is this for me?"

Patchlitz nodded.

Xiao Mao laughed, then took the tree fruit and took a bite.

Fresh and juicy.

"Thank you, Patchlitz."

Xiao Mao said thank you.

Pachilis blushed, then gently rubbed her cheek against Shigeru's cheek before running away.

Touching his still-warm cheek, Xiao Mao was somewhat shocked, then he laughed and continued strolling happily.

Upon arriving in the forest area, a long-tailed monster suddenly appeared in front of him, its tail hanging upside down from a tree, making a face at him.

Seeing that Shigeru wasn't scared, Aipom was somewhat shocked. Then, with a flick of its tail, it disappeared from Shigeru's sight.

As I walked further in, my path was suddenly blocked by several three-necked bees.

Xiao Mao was a little confused, thinking that this place was impassable, but then a queen bee flew over.

"Compare."

It shook its head, and then the three bees made way.

The queen bee came to Xiao Mao, her scarlet eyes fixed on him. She sensed Fang Yan's presence on Xiao Mao and knew he was Fang Yan's guest. She then politely explained to Xiao Mao.

Xiao Mao understands what it means; it cannot proceed here for the time being.

Xiao Mao nodded, then turned and left in another direction.

The queen bee watched Xiao Mao's retreating figure, then turned to look at the three bees that had sneaked back from the flowerbed, and breathed a sigh of relief.

Luckily, he didn't find out.

If he spoke to Dialect and Gengar, then things would be troublesome.

However, it was still worried and continued to stay in the same spot watching Xiao Mao's back until Xiao Mao's back disappeared before turning around and leaving.

As it turned around, a scarlet gaze was fixed on it from not far away.

"Kou Jie?"

Shigeru walked to the boundary between the breeding shed and the forest, where the fence had not been repaired.

This must be the forest the shopkeeper in the dialect was talking about. The Pokémon of the forest came to the breeding center from here.

Shigeru stepped out of the breeding house and arrived at the entrance to the forest.

I watched quietly for a while, then remembered what Fang Yan had said and gave up the idea of ​​going into the forest.

Then he turned around and went back.

Back in the planting area, they found Fangyan, Gengar, Gothic Boy, and Momonini picking vegetables, berries, and some Chinese herbs.

"You're back?"

When Fang Yan saw Xiao Mao return, he wiped the sweat from his forehead and handed the Chinese herbal medicine in his hand to the little boy, Ge De.

Looking at Gothic Boy, Shigeru took out his encyclopedia and scanned it.

"Um."

At the same time, he didn't forget to reply in dialect.

"Shall we have dinner here tonight?"

Fang Yan looked at the boy in front of her and asked.

"this...

Xiao Mao hesitated for a moment, but in the end he still said, "Then I'll trouble you."

"It's alright, Monini and Gothic Boy's cooking is delicious, isn't it?"

"Gothic~"

"Monini~"

"Then please wait a moment."

After finishing speaking in dialect, he continued picking the Chinese herbs needed to brew herbal tea tomorrow.

Xiao Mao watched Fang Yan picking Chinese herbs and was somewhat puzzled.

"Manager, these Chinese herbs are—"

"Oh, you're talking about these things."

Fang Yan shook the Chinese herbs in his hand, stood up, saw that he had picked almost all of them, and then walked out of the planting area. At the same time, he had Mo Ni Ni and Gothic Boy drag out Gengar, who wanted to pick all the berries.

"Kou Jie—"

As she led Xiao Mao toward the kitchen, she explained to him.

"This is for brewing herbal tea."

"Herbal tea?"

Xiao Mao had never heard of herbal tea and was somewhat puzzled.

"You can think of it as un-evolved traditional Chinese medicine, which is very effective for some minor ailments, such as poor mental state, sore throat, and internal heat."

"This is unique to our nursery. After all, there are so many elderly people in Futaba Town. As they get older, they inevitably have some minor illnesses. Going to the hospital for these minor illnesses would be making a mountain out of a molehill. So our nursery has launched a herbal tea service, which can solve these problems very well."

After the dialect was spoken, Xiao Mao nodded in sudden understanding.

Then, while Fang Yan and the others were making dinner, Xiao Mao went to the swing tree and played with Shana.

He then sat quietly on the swing, watching Shana play house with the bells, and then looked up at the backyard of the breeding house.

This afternoon I walked around the backyard of the breeding house. Although it was far less spacious than my own Oak Lab, it had a different feel to it, unlike my own lab.

He had been to other animal pens, but none of them made him feel as at ease as this one.

He secretly made up his mind.

After dinner, watching Fang Yan grooming the six-tailed fox in his arms, he suddenly spoke:

"Manager, can I stay?"
