I run an orphanage in the Pokémon world.

Chapter 281 Cold Wave Warning

Teng Shu rested his chin on his hand, looking at the little Munchlax in front of him. The little Munchlax was eating, while Ralts looked at the little Munchlax curiously, her eyes filled with a hint of inquiry.

"Ralts, although you don't need to stop taking this medicine, you still need to go to the infirmary for treatment every night, understand?" Teng Shu said, looking at Ralts. Ralts nodded obediently, her mood very happy.

Teng Shu didn't say anything. It was normal for Ralts to have this attitude. He could see that for Ralts, remembering things and not forgetting was something that Ralts cared about a lot. After all, only in this way could Ralts live a normal life, even though she had to go to the infirmary every night.

"Aww." Charmander let out a soft cry, and Ralts casually stuffed a berry into Charmander's hand. Charmander held the berry and took a bite.

Charmander has been receiving treatment at the infirmary every day. However, the eyes are a mysterious part of the body, both for humans and Pokémon. So even though they can be reconstructed, the progress is still quite slow, and Charmander is still completely blind.

The three-dimensional eyeball constructed in the medical pod is still under construction; the nerves and other components are not yet complete. Therefore, Little Fire Dragon will only be able to see again once the entire construction is finished.

Locke had previously inquired about this side effect on Ralts' behalf, but so far there has been no response; it may be necessary to wait until tomorrow for the results.

"Kahoo~" the little Snorlax cried out, its voice carrying a hint of satisfaction. It was now full and patting its belly contentedly.

Tengshu patted the little Snorlax's head; it was soft and fluffy.

"You, you little Munchlax, next time someone comes to adopt you, don't worry about not having enough to eat." Tengshu said irritably. This little Munchlax was really hard to understand. At first, Tengshu thought there was some reason or hardship, but he didn't expect that Munchlax was simply worried about not having enough to eat.

If Tengshu had known this would happen, he would have asked Aida, and perhaps the problem would have been solved.

The little Munchlax stared blankly at Tengshu, grinning. Tengshu couldn't do anything about it, so he just patted the little Munchlax's head. He wondered if Ms. Ada would still be willing to adopt the little Munchlax after this incident. There weren't many people willing to raise a Munchlax like this, and Tengshu didn't want to miss these opportunities.

Ralts tugged at Tengshu's clothes. Tengshu turned his head and glanced at her. Ralts was blinking at him, and a sense of curiosity washed over him. Tengshu remembered the gloves that Ralts had given him before.

"Your gloves are very nice." Teng Shu said with a smile. He tried on the gloves that Ralts had given him. They fit perfectly and were very warm. The leather exterior and the cotton lining made the gloves very warm. Teng Shu personally liked them very much.

Seeing that Tengshu liked it, Ralts smiled happily. At the same time, she made up her mind that she would continue to study later and see if she could do something else for Tengshu.

Although the little dragon next to it still couldn't see, hearing its friend's happy laughter made it feel cheerful, and it swished its tail back and forth.

then.

The vine tree could only watch helplessly as the fallen leaves beside it were set on fire by the little fire dragon's tail.

Flames erupted instantly.

Fortunately, fires are relatively rare in the Pokémon world, since most Pokémon have the ability to extinguish fires, unless it is a special fire or a fire that has already started and cannot be stopped.

Charmander honestly admitted his mistake. Tengshu patted Charmander's head without saying anything. After all, Charmander couldn't be blamed for this. Charmander hadn't done it on purpose; he just couldn't see it.

Although Charmander has good hearing, he can't see Fallen Leaf, so there's nothing he can do.

"Alright, don't blame yourself, it's not your fault." Teng Shu patted the little dragon's head with a wry smile. The little dragon still seemed a little guilty. Teng Shu then took out his phone and glanced at it. He had just noticed the temperature drop warning on his phone.

A significant drop in temperature is expected in the city in three days, which may lead to snowfall. Residents are advised to take precautions...

"It's getting colder." Teng Shu rubbed his hands together. Although the weather was nice now, it was hard to say what it would be like later.

However, it's common for temperatures to drop in winter, or rather, the normal temperature in Changqing City is actually quite strange. While other places are already experiencing snowfall, Changqing City remains lush and green, which is quite absurd.

Now that the temperature has dropped, Tengshu plans to go out and buy some other warm clothing.

It didn't matter inside the welfare home, since there was air conditioning, but that was only available inside the building, not outside. Although Teng Shu knew that there were some items in the store that could be exchanged for warmth, those items were too expensive for him to afford. He could only try to get some other warming equipment.

Teng Shu drove away from the welfare home in his small truck.

They got stuck halfway through.

"..." Teng Shu looked at the road in front of him and his mouth twitched. The once smooth asphalt road had now become like the stone road in the off-road challenge, full of potholes. His car could not withstand these things and would fall apart after driving for a few minutes. He could only call Jun Sha Guang and the others to report to them first.

Officer Jenny also serves as the traffic cop for the Pokémon League. Officer Jenny and Nurse Joy are undoubtedly the two most powerful families in the Pokémon world, without exception.

After all, these two families occupy two important positions in the medical and police fields, and the alliance trusts them greatly. No one knows why this is, and there seems to be some secret hidden here, but Teng Shu doesn't know what the secret is.

"This is caused by the activity of a group of gophers. This road needs maintenance, which will take about three hours." Soon after, traffic policewoman Officer Jenny arrived. She checked the road conditions and quickly gave her an answer. Seeing this, Teng Shu had no choice but to go back and wait.

"No wonder the Diglett swarm is known as the Pokémon that road administration hates the most." Teng Shu sighed. Now he could only wait three hours to buy it, hoping that the price wouldn't have gone up by then, but the probability was rather low.

After all, everyone in Changqing City saw the notice, and many people will definitely stock up on heating supplies.

Teng Shu remembered that when he went to the supermarket before, a larger oil heater was only 199, but now he didn't know how many Alliance Coins it would cost.

Chapter 282 The New Beacon Mission

"Damn, no merchant is without guile," Teng Shu muttered to himself as he looked at the oil heater in the supermarket, which had originally cost 199 yuan but had now jumped to 399 yuan.

This price is really outrageous.

Although Teng Shu knew that the price of these things would definitely rise when the cold wave hit, after all, the supply and demand relationship had changed.

In the past, in Changqing City, oil heaters were something that merchants would often beg customers to buy, and customers would often ignore them. But now that the cold wave has hit, customers are actively seeking out oil heaters to buy them, and there's even a rush to buy them.

Although the weather forecast says that this cold wave will only last for four days, four days is still a long time.

Cold weather can easily trigger cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, so it is common for elderly people to die in winter.

Teng Shu sighed and skipped over this place. This wasn't what he needed to buy right now. Oil heaters were nice, but they were only suitable for indoor use, and the orphanage had air conditioning, so they didn't need them. What Teng Shu needed to buy was a courtyard heating system.

A yard heating system, something that sounds somewhat distant from ordinary people's lives, is actually a unique product found only in the Pokémon world.

This device heats up the surrounding area in open spaces, making the temperature rise. It's designed to serve families with yards who also keep Pokémon.

After all, the most popular type of house in the Pokémon world is a small house with a yard. The yard allows Pokémon to relax and grow vegetables and fruit trees.

Therefore, this room type is quite popular.

"This price..." Teng Shu looked at the courtyard heater in front of him and his lips twitched. Although he knew that this thing would not be cheap when he was thinking about buying it, Teng Shu still felt a little annoyed when he actually saw it.

A basic courtyard heater costs 6999 Alliance Coins, which is quite expensive. And that's just the most basic one. But considering the cold wave, Tengshu still has to buy one. Considering the size of the orphanage, Tengshu needs to buy one with better performance.

After a while, Teng Shu reluctantly paid 120,000 Alliance Coins.

Teng Shu bought eight large-area heaters, each costing 15,000 yuan. He calculated that they would just cover the area of ​​the orphanage. Plus, buying more would give him a chance to win a prize, although Teng Shu didn't have much hope for winning the prize.

After all, whether it's a lottery or any other kind of draw, those who are meant to win can win even with their eyes closed, while those who aren't meant to win won't win even if they know the future.

However, thinking that it would be a waste not to use up the 120,000 yuan he had already spent, Teng Shu still used up his 24 lottery tickets.

This item costs 5,000 yuan for one draw, and 120,000 yuan for vine trees, which is exactly 12 draws.

As a result, Tengshu found more tissues, an induction cooker, and an oven in his car. However, what made Tengshu particularly happy was that he also won a first prize.

MEGA wristband.

Although this thing is of no use to the vines now, it's expensive.

Mega Evolution allows Pokémon to evolve again in battle, becoming stronger and potentially even having different attributes. Moreover, Mega Evolution is currently considered high-tech within the Pokémon League, and each Mega Bracelet is not cheap; in fact, the price can be described as very high.

However, having the MEGA bracelet is not very useful, because you still need the corresponding evolution stone even with the bracelet, so Tengshu felt that this thing was both useful and useless.

Regardless, Teng Shu still took the item back with him. He planned to check its price and then decide what to do with it, since selling it would be worth more than keeping it.

Putting aside the fact that Tengshu didn't plan to battle with anyone in Pokémon, the fact that this thing required evolution stones put it on the back burner. He had seen before that the League couldn't produce evolution stones yet, and Mega Evolution was still a privilege for the rich and strong, with the price of a single evolution stone skyrocketing.

So even if there are Pokémon in Tengshu's orphanage that can Mega Evolve, it doesn't mean anything to Tengshu. He wouldn't use money that could buy a luxury apartment to buy a rock.

Of course, if Tengshu intends to become a trainer, he can do so.

[Beacon detected; beacon mission activated]

[Lost in a dream, unwilling to wake up]

Head to Eden City, find the Pokémon that activated the beacon quest, and bring it back to the orphanage.

[Mission Hint: Legend has it that Ho-Oh once lived in Bell Tower, but on that day, a great fire swept through Bell Tower, burying many Pokémon. Perhaps you can find some clues near Bell Tower.]

[Task Reward: One random draw for items from the in-game store]

Teng Shu had just loaded the last heater onto the small truck when he saw the message and was stunned for a moment. He really didn't expect the beacon mission to be activated again. However, this mission was too far away. Yuanzhu City was in the Johto region, although Johto and Kanto were only separated by a mountain range.

"Yuanzhu City, Bell Tower? That's a bit far, but the quest has been triggered, so it's worth a visit." Teng Shu rubbed his hands together. Of course, he admitted that the quest reward was something he really needed. After all, there were plenty of good things in the shop. If he could get tens of thousands or even millions of happiness points, he would truly become rich.

However, the most urgent task right now is to send these things back and install them as soon as possible so that they can be used when the cold wave comes. As for Enchantress City, Fujiki plans to set off tonight to retrieve that Pokémon as soon as possible.

When I come back, I'll probably be caught in a cold wave, and then I'll set everything up.

Thinking of this, Teng Shu hurriedly drove back to the welfare home. After arriving at the welfare home, he quickly installed the heating equipment. He even tested it to make sure there were no problems before he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Dean, are you going to Yuanzhu City?" Locke looked at Teng Shu with some surprise. Teng Shu nodded. He was buying plane tickets. This matter should be done sooner rather than later. Thinking about what happened with Xin Ye Miao last time, Teng Shu had a headache.

If he had arrived any later, he would have been left only to collect Xin Ye Miao's corpse.

"A person seeking help told me that there was a poor stray Pokémon in Enchantress City," Teng Shu casually remarked. Although Locke was puzzled as to why someone would seek help here instead of at an orphanage in Enchantress City, he didn't ask any further questions.

Chapter 283 An Encounter on the Plane

Teng Shu sat on the plane.

The Pokémon world has airplanes, and their flight speed is quite good, making them relatively suitable for long-distance travel. For short-distance trips, there are also dedicated Flying-type Pokémon to choose from, and some people specialize in this area.

When Tengshu was buying plane tickets, he saw a tour group that offered short-haul flight services, including riding fire-breathing dragons. The label even stated that riding a fire-breathing dragon wouldn't make you cold; you'd only feel warm.

This reminded Tengshu of when he rode Rapidash before; it felt warm as he ran, which is probably a characteristic of Fire-type Pokémon.

However, considering the distance between Enju City and Evergreen City, Tengshu still boarded a plane. This time, in addition to Abandoned Monkey, Tengshu also brought New Leaf Cat.

Xin Ye Miao was very determined to come with Teng Shu. Teng Shu originally didn't plan to bring Xin Ye Miao, since Xin Ye Miao's health wasn't very good and it was more suitable for it to stay in the orphanage and learn the magic tricks that it was currently interested in.

Previously, Tengshu had edited and uploaded Newleafy's information to the League's office. Tengshu thought that Newleafy would probably be adopted soon, since Newleafy is a very popular Pokémon.

However, the alliance believed that Xin Ye Miao's psychological state needed further observation, so it listed this as an adoption file that could not be viewed for the time being, and Teng Shu had no objection to this.

After all, Xin Ye Miao's condition wasn't good before, and even now, it's still not very good. Xin Ye Miao hasn't meowed at all, but you should know that other Xin Ye Miao often meow a few times.

“Yuanzhu.” Tengshu looked at the night view below the window, his eyes filled with contemplation.

Enshu City may sound strange, but it's quite famous because it has a bell tower that was once home to the legendary Pokémon Ho-Oh. As a result, it's very popular, and many people come here specifically to visit.

Teng Shu touched his chest. This time, he had specially brought the feather that Ho-Oh had given him before. Although there had been no further news after Ho-Oh gave him the feather, Teng Shu still brought it. After all, they were going to Bell Tower, and with Ho-Oh's feather, it was hard to say that they could find the beacon Pokémon faster.

Although beacons provide notifications, sometimes they are blocked and therefore cannot be seen, such as in the case of Shin-Ye-Nyan.

If Tengshu hadn't moved the bricks, he wouldn't have been able to see the New Leaf Cat buried underneath. This made Tengshu realize that finding the Beacon Pokémon required carefulness; otherwise, something terrible might happen.

Besides Bell Tower and Ho-Oh, the second most famous creatures in Enishu City are the Three Legendary Beasts: Entei, Raikou, and Suicune.

However, now when Tengshu thinks of Suicune, his expression becomes a bit strange. Suicune was previously portrayed as having a very high level of prestige, but in the new version, whenever Tengshu thinks of Suicune, he can't help but think of Suicune's "I'm dying of laughter" meme. It's just that it's really absurd that a dignified Suicune would be caught in a net by a human.

"...This time, we must..." A familiar voice rang out. Teng Shu paused for a moment after hearing it, then picked at his ear with some suspicion.

“Done, meow!” Upon hearing this, Teng Shu turned his head and saw three familiar people sitting three seats behind him. The one by the aisle was Kojiro, the one in the middle could be seen with Musashi’s signature hair, and the one by the window should be Meow Meow.

"Kojiro?" Teng Shu was somewhat shocked. What kind of twisted fate was this? How come he kept running into Kojiro wherever he went? Did he have some kind of passive effect that allowed him to "meet Kojiro as soon as he steps out the door"?

"A wisteria tree?!" Kojiro was even more shocked.

So, Fujiki simply switched seats with the guy opposite Kojiro. The guy was very understanding, and besides, he also wanted to sit by the window, so Fujiki quickly sat opposite Kojiro.

"Are you going to Enshu City too?" Teng Shu looked at Kojiro and Meow Meow with some surprise. It has to be said that Kojiro is Kojiro. He even bought a plane ticket for Meow Meow and reserved a window seat for Meow Meow.

"Yes, something came up at the company, but Fujiki, why are you going to Enshu City too?" Kojiro looked at Fujiki with some doubt. He remembered that Fujiki rarely went out before, so he didn't expect him to go out now.

“There’s someone seeking help…” Tengshu used the same story he had told before. Kojiro, upon hearing this, remarked that the person didn’t go to the local welfare home but instead had to contact Tengshu. After that, he started chatting with Tengshu.

It was during their conversation that Tengshu learned that Musashi had been thinking about becoming a singer and had even released her first song. Tengshu was very interested and said she would listen to it later.

Meow Meow has been learning from Scarface, the cat leader, every day. Scarface is also very serious and responsible, and the trio is very satisfied with Scarface.

"Tengshu, shall we go for a drink together sometime?" Kojiro extended an adult-like invitation.

Fujiki accepted the news. Since it was a rare opportunity to meet Kojiro, Fujiki planned to chat with him for a while. Just then, the plane arrived in Enju City and slowly descended. Suddenly, the cabin became restless, and the air was filled with a tense atmosphere.

"What's going on?" Teng Shu wasn't worried about anything happening. Airplanes in the Pokémon world are very safe. Unless they explode on the spot, leaving no chance for rescue, they usually disintegrate automatically if there's a problem that can't be solved. The flight attendants, who are all Flying-type Pokémon, will safely get everyone to the ground.

"Wow, it's Xiaoqian!" The cheers from the crowd made Tengshu realize what had happened. His gaze fell on the front, where a girl with pink hair was smiling and greeting everyone.

Teng Shu felt that the other person looked familiar; he seemed to be a dojo owner.

"This is Akane, the gym leader who specializes in Normal type." Musashi recognized her, and Teng Shu understood. No wonder.

Gym Leaders may seem ordinary, but they are actually quite important figures. After all, there are generally only eight recognized gyms in a region of the League, and those who become gym leaders are all very strong.

They also have status and recognition, which is equivalent to being one of the eight regional champions in the country.

However, Tengshu wasn't very interested in that. He was more concerned about where he and Kojiro would go for a drink later, but he could only have one drink, since Tengshu still needed to find the beacon mission.

Chapter 284 The Legend of the Bell Tower

After having a casual drink with Kojiro and catching up on their recent situations, Fujiki left. Kojiro and the others also left, though they said they were going to do some work. Fujiki knew that Kojiro and the others were probably already preparing to complete the mission assigned by Team Rocket.
