I run an orphanage in the Pokémon world.

Pikachu turned its head in confusion, only to find that the vine tree was completely unharmed. Could it be that this little rascal's power was too weak, so it couldn't hurt the vine tree at all?

It was good that the vine was alright, so Pikachu let the little rascal go. However, it still planned to teach Pikachu a lesson after the vine left, to avoid future trouble.

Pikachu knows that although humans don't have the special powers of Pokémon, they are still very strong and terrifying. If wild Pokémon attack humans, it's easy for them to be captured, which is extremely dangerous.

After watching Pikachu finish its medicine, Tengshu left. However, he had only gone halfway when he heard Murkrow's cry. Tengshu's expression changed, and he rushed over quickly. When he saw the car, he found Murkrow crying, but there was nothing next to the car.

The raven's wing pointed in a direction, and Teng Shu looked in that direction but couldn't see anything.

"This is..." Teng Shu was a little confused, and then he found that there was a Poké Ball and a note in his car. This scene seemed familiar.

Teng Shu's lips twitched as he glanced at his small truck.

When he bought the car, the used car market offered a free paint job. Teng Shu thought the paint was pretty good and there was no need to change it, so he had them paint the name of the orphanage on it to prove that it was an orphanage's car.

But unexpectedly, it has now become a place where Pokémon are abandoned.

Teng Shu realized that the direction Dark Raven had pointed was the direction the abandoned person had run away in, so he decisively started his car and chased after him. However, after chasing for ten minutes, he still couldn't see anyone, so he had no choice but to go back.

Chapter 256 The Super Eater

【Snorlax】

【General】

Malnutrition, hunger

This is a little Snorlax that was abandoned because it eats too much. It needs to eat three times a day, and its appetite is enormous.

Teng Shu held the Poké Ball in his hand, his eyes somewhat dazed. He really hadn't expected that the Pokémon that had been thrown into his car would be a Munchlax.

Munchlax is a rather special Pokémon. Although Munchlax is famous worldwide, it didn't have any other evolved or baby forms before some generations ago. Munchlax was added later. Besides that, what's more interesting is Munchlax's amazing appetite.

Although it's called Munchlax, it actually has quite a big appetite. While it might seem weaker compared to its evolved form, Snorlax, it's a complete glutton compared to other Pokémon.

A Munchlax weighs about 105 kilograms, which is the average weight. Some Munchlax may even weigh more. However, a Munchlax needs to eat food equal to its own weight almost once a day to fill its stomach, otherwise it will be in a state of hunger. A hungry Munchlax is also very aggressive.

Even if it's just 105 kilograms once a day, that's an astronomical number, the kind that would make a buffet owner beg you to eat at another restaurant.

This little Snorlax is even more gifted, taking three times a day, which would weigh 315 kilograms. What does that mean?

If a bowl of instant noodles is 120 grams, then Snorlax would eat 2625 bowls of instant noodles a day. Even if a bowl of instant noodles only costs 3 yuan, then it would still cost about 8,000 yuan a day.

In reality, depending on the actual weight of the instant noodles, you might end up eating even more.

It's easy to imagine how outrageous it is to raise this little Munchlax. Unless you're from a relatively wealthy family, most ordinary families simply can't afford Munchlax's astonishing appetite.

"Suddenly I felt that guy..." Teng Shu clicked his tongue. He had previously been thinking of finding that audacious abandoner, but now he felt that the other party might not actually be able to afford the cost of raising Munchlax.

While abandoning it is still the wrong method, even though Munchlax eats a lot, you could still contact the League to release it, right? It's better than abandoning it to yourself.

"Let's go, Blackie, we should head back too." Teng Shu didn't open the Poké Ball. He didn't have any food on him, and the little Snorlax was already starving. If he opened it now, Teng Shu suspected that everything edible in his van would be eaten clean by the little Snorlax.

So Tengshu decisively drove Murkrow back to his orphanage, and went straight into the kitchen. To Locke's surprise, he rummaged through the drawers and cupboards, and soon found a huge pile of berries and Pokémon food. After a simple processing, he dumped them into a huge bucket.

"Director, what are you doing...?" Locke was a little confused. Teng Shu usually took great care when cooking for the Pokémon in the orphanage, and rarely did this. So what was this food for?

But then he saw Teng Shu throw out a Poké Ball, and a little Snorlax suddenly appeared in the cafeteria. The little Snorlax's eyes were green. It turned its head and instantly smelled the aroma of food. Then it pounced into the pot, and the food in the pot began to drop at a visible speed.

"It's a little Munchlax that was abandoned in my car. I went down to deliver medicine to Pikachu and didn't see who it was." Teng Shu replied simply, while looking at the little Munchlax seriously. The little Munchlax looked a bit thin now, but otherwise it was fine.

"I really don't understand these people. If they knew they couldn't afford to raise a Munchlax, why did they catch it in the first place?" Locke said with some sigh as he looked at the hungry Munchlax. Teng Shu's expression became subtle after hearing this.

This Munchlax is no ordinary Munchlax; it's considered a heavyweight within its species, and in some ways, even the heaviest of the heavyweights.

One is worth three.

Teng Shu couldn't even imagine how terrifying Snorlax would be after it evolved, after all, Snorlax is a heavyweight Pokémon, the kind that can eat an average family out of poverty.

"I think... maybe it's just a special talent." Teng Shu pinched his brow. The little Munchlax had been abandoned by him, and he couldn't just ignore it. He could only register it in the file as soon as possible and send it to the medical bay to check if the little Munchlax's big appetite was a disease.

After all, Teng Shu had heard that some people are born with a strong appetite, and later it was found that it was a hormonal problem or a neurological problem. In any case, when a person eats a lot, it is often advisable to go to the hospital for a check-up first.

After Munchlax had eaten its fill, Tengshu went over to take it for a checkup. Although the system hadn't indicated that Munchlax had any diseases, it was still necessary to get it checked out.

"Woo..." The little Snorlax cried out warily when it saw the Vine Tree approaching, but after sensing the Viridian Power on the Vine Tree, it relaxed a lot and let the Vine Tree hug it.

"Although it's not the first time I've seen it, it still seems outrageous every time I see it," Locke sighed, observing the change in Snorlax's attitude.

Gaining the trust of Pokémon so easily is no easy feat.

However, Locke's attention was quickly drawn to his daughter, and Teng Shu carried the little Snorlax to the infirmary. The infirmary was quiet; Locke was not there, and only Charmander was in the infirmary.

The little dragon has just finished its treatment and is now skillfully figuring itself out of the medical pod.

Teng Shu examined the little dragon's eyes but couldn't see any difference. He thought it would be similar to the previous baby dragon, but this time it was completely different.

"Charmander, slow down." Tengshu pulled Charmander along. Although Charmander landed steadily, Tengshu still instinctively helped it.

"Awooo..." Charmander cried out, then twitched its nose, showing some curiosity. It smelled a strange scent on the vine, the scent of other Pokémon.

Seeing that Charmander was alright, Tengshu put Munchlax into the medical pod.

[Malnutrition, nutritional supplementation recommended]

Looking at the contents of the medical pod, Teng Shu felt somewhat helpless. It seemed that Munchlax's condition was indeed not a disease.

Chapter 257 Snorlax

"...Dean, I remember that Munchlax only eats food equal to its own body weight once a day, right? Why..." In the afternoon, Locke looked at the Munchlax that was still eating and asked with a strange expression.

If Locke hadn't witnessed Snorlax finish eating what it had eaten for lunch, he might have even suspected that it was leftovers.

"How would I know, you ask? I'll just tell you, this little Munchlax has an extraordinary talent." Teng Shu said helplessly. As for why the little Munchlax could eat, Teng Shu could only attribute it to the little Munchlax's talent.

However, unlike Gloom's ability to use all three pink items simultaneously, Munchlax's ability seems rather useless. After all, using all three pink items has value in training and battles, and its future is promising. But what kind of ability is being able to eat? Is it just about increasing its weight so that it can crush its opponents with something like Body Slam in the future?

While the greater the weight, the stronger the actual effect of the Body Slam move, excessive weight may also limit agility. The biggest difference between reality and the game lies in these minor details. It is indeed difficult to make a Pokémon weighing several tons move faster than a Pokémon weighing tens of kilograms.

Therefore, Teng Shu thinks that it will be quite difficult to adopt a Munchlax. After all, if wealthy people want to raise Munchlax, they would have already started catching them. They don't need to come here specifically to adopt one, and there are very few wealthy people who would come to adopt one.

"Two meals a day already. If it eats that much in the morning too, I really can't imagine how outrageous its stomach must be," Locke said with a sigh, and Tengshu nodded.

You guessed it, it really does need to eat three meals a day.

Teng Shu was also puzzled. Looking at the tiny body of the little Snorlax, he couldn't imagine how food equal to its weight could be stuffed into such a small body. It didn't seem to follow the law of conservation of energy at all.

Fortunately, after observing it, Tengshu found that Munchlax only needs about 100 kilograms per meal to feel full, which isn't too exaggerated. However, 100 kilograms per meal and 300 kilograms per day is still an astonishing number for Tengshu.

"If it weren't for the money I made from drawing comics, plus Kai's hard work, and donations from some kind-hearted people, I'd probably be worried sick about Snorlax by now." Teng Shu looked at Snorlax, who had already finished a whole pot of food, with a distorted expression.

Tengshu never disliked the Pokémon he had, nor did he think they were a burden, but Munchlax really ate too much. Just thinking about the reserves in his warehouse gave Tengshu a headache.

I'll probably have to go to the market every day then.

However, as the saying goes, there is always something that can subdue something else. The Pokémon world is able to accommodate so many Pokémon living in nature for a reason. Tengshu had previously seen a special food in the supermarket, specifically for Snorlax and Munchlax. One kilogram of this special food was equivalent to ten kilograms of other food, so it was quite cost-effective.

Of course, the price isn't particularly low; after all, you get what you pay for. If it were too cheap, this little Snorlax probably wouldn't have been abandoned.

"Looks like I still need to go to the supermarket. I remember..." Teng Shu thought of Xiao Guang, the autistic child. Xiao Guang's father had given Teng Shu a card that allowed him to get discounts on shopping, so he should be able to save some money.

"Dad, is that a Snorlax?" Luo Xin asked curiously. Next to Luo Xin sat a woman, who was Locke's wife. Teng Shu had invited her to have dinner with him, since keeping Locke, a professional psychologist, here was a waste of his talents.

Therefore, Teng Shu naturally wanted to maintain his interpersonal relationships.

“Yes, that’s a Munchlax.” Locke said gently. His wife smiled and told their daughter about Munchlax. Teng Shu watched this scene without any particular feeling. Although he was thirty, he was still young and not in a hurry to settle down. Besides, these things couldn’t be rushed.

While Tengshu was eating, Xinye Miao also popped out. It glanced at the little Snorlax with its big eyes, then looked away and ran to Tengshu's side, where it sat down.

Teng Shu looked at Xin Ye Miao beside him with a hint of a smile in his eyes.

Although it cost some Happiness Points to buy the piano, it has had an effect. At least the new Leaf Cat is more lively now and is no longer like the puppet it used to be.

Xinye Miao tilted its head and looked at Tengshu's bowl and chopsticks, its little paws restless. It had watched some magic videos before, and the magicians in them had performed magic tricks using these items. Xinye Miao remembered them vividly.

So it was tempted to give it a try, but held back, and this scene was witnessed by Locke.

Locke's gaze held a hint of scrutiny. He had paid attention to Newleaf before, after all, it was a Pokémon brought back by Tengshu. However, Locke did not expect that Newleaf would be able to get out so quickly, and he wondered how Tengshu had done it.

After all, in Locke's view, Xin Ye Miao's previous state was basically untreatable through talk therapy. He had tried, and even attempted hypnosis, but as soon as he thought about hypnosis, Xin Ye Miao displayed extremely strong aggression, so Locke gave up. He didn't expect that the dean would actually succeed, which made Locke a little curious and also began to doubt whether he was really a psychologist.

"By the way, Dean, speaking of which, have you told the families about Armstrong and the others being adopted?" Locke asked casually after finishing his meal, remembering something.

Teng Shu froze completely.

“I forgot.” Teng Shu said with some pain.

Armwyn and Geodude were survivors of that accident. Three family members had come to the door before, asking Geodude and the others to express their longing for their loved ones. However, when Tengshu sent Armwyn and the others away, he forgot to tell those family members about this.

So Teng Shu hurriedly took his phone and went outside, quickly made a call, and told the woman, whose voice still sounded tired, about the wrist strength and the others.

The other person was silent for a while, then their tone became more joyful, which relieved Teng Shu. They weren't angry; in fact, they were quite happy. After all, the fact that Armwyn and Geodude could have a new life was a comfort to them. However, she still asked Teng Shu for the name and contact information of the rescue team.

Tengshu gave it to them, after all, the other party's attitude was very good, and Tengshu had seen what had happened before. The other party was not someone who had lost their mind and blamed the Pokémon for their mistakes.

Chapter 258 How to Become a Magician: From Beginner to Final Departure

"So, you want to buy these magic props?" Teng Shu looked at the video in front of him. The video was paused on a classic card trick, and Xin Ye Miao was squatting next to the screen. After hearing Teng Shu's question, she nodded.

Teng Shu looked at the magic trick with some curiosity.

This magician is a non-Pokémon magician. He wears a gold badge on his chest, which indicates that he is a non-Pokémon magician, someone who relies on his own abilities and some small mechanisms to perform magic tricks. He is also the most common type of magician in the previous life.

However, while it is somewhat difficult to get started as a magician, it is even more difficult to go from beginner to expert, especially for magicians who do not rely on Pokémon. Generally speaking, hand speed is a key factor in becoming a magician.

In his previous life, Teng Shu had seen some magic trick explanations. Although some of the magic performances looked amazing, they often relied on props to achieve their effect. Among these, card magic was a relatively common type of magic performance.

"Okay, but it might take a few more days to arrive." Teng Shu agreed to Xin Ye Miao's small request.

Compared to Munchlax eating 300 kilograms of food a day, Tengshu felt that feeding other Pokémon was such a simple thing, and even a very economical thing.

Meowth eats very little; its greatest interest lies in magic shows. Generally, Meowths only become interested in magic after they evolve. Legend has it that to evolve into Masked Meowth, one needs to master a set of magic techniques before the evolution can be completed. I wonder if this is true.

After all, there are all sorts of ways to evolve in this world. Tengshu thought that it might be because of his transmigration that the evolution methods of some Pokémon had changed, since there is no such thing as levels in the Pokémon world.

"..." Xin Ye Miao nodded, then slapped the space bar with her paw, which inexplicably reminded Teng Shu of when he used to be in an internet cafe, when the people next to him were playing Audition Online.

The video continued playing, and Xin Ye Miao waited patiently. Teng Shu glanced at Xin Ye Miao and roughly guessed what she meant, so he dragged the progress bar. Soon, Xin Ye Miao's paw landed on Teng Shu's hand.

Teng Shu pressed pause.

The screen showed a dice magic show. Tengshu understood what Xinye Miao meant, silently took out his money and swiped his card. Xinye Miao happily wagged its tail, and its mood became a little happier, which made Tengshu feel a little helpless.

In one night, Tengshu bought a total of twelve magic props for Xinye Miao. Although there were twelve magic props, the prices were not particularly expensive, and Tengshu could accept them. After all, it was not even a fraction of what he earned from drawing "Journey to the West".

"Xin Ye Miao, you can't stay up late tonight, okay? You have to go back to your dorm to sleep by 11 p.m. at the latest, understand?" Teng Shu said to Xin Ye Miao. Xin Ye Miao wagged its tail after hearing this, and then continued to watch the magic video attentively.

Teng Shu shook his head. Xin Ye Miao is almost becoming an internet addict.

Xinye Miao is a female cat, so it's not entirely wrong to call her an internet addict.

"Then... we also need to fill in the relevant information for Munchlax." Teng Shu sat in front of his office computer. He gave Xin Ye Miao his tablet computer, since he still needed to type in Munchlax's file.

Although the little Munchlax was only abandoned here today, Tengshu still plans to create a file for the little Munchlax as soon as possible. This little Munchlax is a special case. Although it eats a lot, after some basic tests, the little Munchlax does not reject humans and even has some relatives.

However, this is a common characteristic of most Munchlax.

Munchlax babies are generally lively, active, and affectionate, especially when compared to their evolved form, Snorlax. However, once a Munchlax evolves into Snorlax, Snorlax's lazy nature becomes more prominent.

Of course, Snorlax is just a bit lazy; compared to special Pokémon like Slaking, it's still considered a diligent type.

When Tengshu was surfing the internet in his spare time, he once saw a Snorlax learning to surf on the beach with its trainer's help.

He's really good at surfing.

This shows that even the same Pokémon can have different personalities. And the most liked comments on these videos are usually along the lines of, "I can't imagine how awesome it would be if I had a Pokémon that never misses a day!"

People in the Pokémon world seem to have a special obsession with Slaking, and no one knows why.

Although individual values ​​and base stats don't exist in the real world, Slaking is indeed stronger than many Pokémon. The Hoenn Gym Leader is a very skilled Slaking user.

[...The little Snorlax did not show any aggression towards humans and can be added to the adoption list.]

Teng Shu finished typing the last paragraph, then pressed Enter, and the email was sent. If everything went smoothly, Munchlax's information would be listed on the Kanto region's adoption website, and sometimes it would even be noticed by potential adopters in other regions of the League.

Of course, this only applies if these people have already searched for the information.

The Pokémon League's adoption rules generally dictate that local adoptions should be local. If a Pokémon is not available in a particular area, but the adopter specifically wants a certain Pokémon, they can search for Pokémon in their current region. If none are found, they can search all the Pokémon welfare institutions under the League. If none are found, then there's nothing that can be done.

If so, the adoptive parents can submit an application to the alliance where the welfare home is located. If the application is approved, they can come and adopt. Of course, such people are usually in the minority, since the travel expenses alone are not a small amount.

In a previous life, this would be equivalent to someone wanting to adopt an animal, and then specifically flying from Asia to Antarctica to adopt it. Although it was possible to adopt an animal this way, only a minority of people would do it.
