I run an orphanage in the Pokémon world.

Teng Shu didn't think much of it. The probability of Kojiro and his trio completing the mission wasn't very high. Otherwise, after they caught up with Satoshi, they wouldn't be in a state of being half abandoned.

"Bell Tower..." Teng Shu found a hotel closest to the Bell Tower, but even so, the price still made him feel a pang of pain. A small room with an area of ​​only 20 square meters cost Teng Shu more than 200 Alliance Coins. It can only be said that whether in his previous life or in this world, business in tourist attractions is very good.

However, looking at the bell tower in the distance, Teng Shu still felt a sense of awe.

There are many legends about Bell Tower, but according to the League's records, one of the two towers in Enchantress City was struck by lightning, causing a fire. After the fire, Ho-Oh never came to Bell Tower again and left Enchantress City.

However, this is the alliance's version of events; Teng Shu himself has seen some unofficial accounts online.

Legend has it that the Bell Tower was once the residence of Ho-Oh, and the rainbow feather that Ho-Oh dropped was considered a magical feather that could bring good luck, nourish the body, and prolong life. Therefore, many people were obsessed with the rainbow feather. In order to obtain the rainbow feather, the city of Enchantress set fire to the tower.

As a result, the Pokémon living inside died, and Ho-Oh was very angry when it saw this. Although it revived the Pokémon, it never came to Erimo City again, and Bell Tower became a tower that could only be entered by those who possessed a Rainbow Wing.

The monks inside are said to be there to atone for the sins of Pokémon that died in the past.

"But what is this beacon mission?" Teng Shu put down his luggage and then took Abandoned Monkey and Newleaf Meow to search for a while. However, this time he walked around the Bell Tower and did not see any Pokémon whose panels he could see.

Teng Shu had originally planned to visit the Bell Tower, but since it was too late, he had to give up the idea for the time being and returned to the hotel to sleep and rest.

The next day, Teng Shu still got out of bed early. He glanced out the window. Although it was still dark, some vendors had already set up stalls under the Bell Tower, and some people were excitedly rubbing their hands together, waiting for something.

"What are these people waiting for?" Teng Shu asked curiously as he brushed his teeth. The Abandoned Monkey next to him also brushed his teeth. Xin Ye Miao yawned boredly and flicked his tail.

"Why are you following me? Isn't it better to stay at home?" Teng Shu looked at Xin Ye Miao, who was yawning, and couldn't help but smile and pat its head. Xin Ye Miao turned its head away and ignored Teng Shu.

Tengshu didn't mind. Although Xinye Miao's situation was better than before, Xinye Miao's personality was still a bit strange. It didn't like to meow much and wasn't very affectionate. It spent most of its time studying magic.

After washing up, Teng Shu left the inn with Xin Ye Miao and Qi Shi Hou, taking his Rainbow Feather with him.

When Teng Shu got downstairs, he found there were even more people. A dense crowd of people packed on both sides of the street, like fans chasing after celebrities. This made Teng Shu curious. What was going on? Why were there so many people?

"Hello, is there any activity today?" Teng Shu asked a boy next to him. The boy looked to be quite young, probably still in school, but he seemed very excited and was holding something in his hand.

"Ah, it's like this, Akane is coming to Bell Tower today!" The boy paused for a moment, then laughed and said excitedly. When Teng Shu heard this, he thought of the girl he had met on the plane yesterday, Akane, the Normal-type Gym Leader of the Johto region, a very cute girl.

After learning about the situation, Teng Shu stopped paying attention and walked towards the Bell Tower with Xin Ye Miao in his arms. He planned to take a look inside the Bell Tower, since this beacon mission was related to the Bell Tower, and Teng Shu felt that the target was probably inside the Bell Tower.

When Tengshu arrived at the entrance of the Bell Tower, he saw several monks from the Pokémon world standing at the gate cleaning. When they saw Tengshu, they put their hands together in a gesture of respect, making Tengshu feel as if he had returned to his previous life and was visiting a temple.

"Esteemed benefactor, the Bell Tower is not yet open. If you wish to tour the outer perimeter, please wait until after nine o'clock," the little monk said politely to Teng Shu. Teng Shu did not speak, but simply took out the rainbow feather hanging around his neck.

The moment the rainbow-colored feather appeared, the little monk's expression froze for a moment, then instantly became much more friendly.

"So you possess Rainbow Feather, then all areas of the Bell Tower are open to you." The little monk's smile became even more sincere as he spoke politely. Teng Shu also thanked him and then carried Xin Ye Miao into the Bell Tower.

The bell tower isn't particularly tall, and once you step inside, the first thing you feel is tranquility.

There was hardly anyone in the entire bell tower; the only sound in the corridor was his own footsteps, which was quite absurd.

"Little Viper, can you sense the presence of Pokémon?" Teng Shu asked, looking at the Forsaken beside him. Bell Tower didn't seem like the kind of place that would collapse, so he probably wouldn't see a situation like Newleaf this time.

The abandoned monkey shook its head; it didn't sense any life force, though it could also be blocked out.

Tengshu didn't say anything, but led the abandoned monkey to the top of the Bell Tower. There were some things placed there that seemed to be intended for Ho-Oh to live in, and the windows around were all very large. Even so, the cushion in the middle was not dusty, but it did not look like Ho-Oh had ever lived there.

Tengshu didn't see any Pokémon along the way, which puzzled him. The abandoned monkey followed him all the way without noticing anything unusual.

Either the bell tower has a secret passage, or...

Teng Shu remembered something: although the Bell Tower was very famous, there was also a tower on the west side of Enju City. The Phoenix King lived in the East Tower on this side, while the West Tower on the other side was destroyed in a fire. Could it be that tower?

Chapter 285 The Pokémon of Theta

There are actually two bell towers in Enju City, but the one on the east side is much more famous because Ho-Oh once lived there. Most people only know this bell tower, and over time, when people talk about bell towers, they think of this bell tower.

However, the bell tower is of no use to Tengshu at this moment, since there are no beacon Pokémon in the bell tower, and it is cleaned so thoroughly that there is no trace of any Pokémon passing by.

So Teng Shu left the bell tower. The monks at the gate just smiled and bowed when they saw Teng Shu, without doing anything else.

As soon as he left the Bell Tower, Teng Shu saw that there were even more people outside, which surprised him. Although he knew that the gym leaders were all quite popular, Xiao Qian's popularity was really outrageous.

"Could he be an internet celebrity?" Teng Shu thought of the internet celebrity museum owner in the future Padiya. The other party was also very popular. At that time, Teng Shu thought that if the technological level of other regions was similar, there should also be some internet celebrity museum owners.

After all, the owner of the restaurant also needs to make a living. Becoming an internet celebrity might help sell products or something.

However, none of this concerns Tengshu. What Tengshu is more concerned about right now is the Beacon Pokémon.

Teng Shu arrived at the west side of Yuanzhu City by car, where another tower stood. However, compared to the Bell Tower, this tower looked newer. Next to this tower stood a ruin, which was the West Tower that had been burned down.

The Alliance rebuilt the West Tower, but preserved the one that had been burned down.

Next to the ruins was a sign that read, "Mourning the lives lost in the fire caused by lightning." Teng Shu looked at the sign and then looked around.

Compared to the Bell Tower, the West Tower here was much quieter, with no one around early in the morning. However, the doors of the West Tower were not open. Teng Shu went over to take a look and found that the tower was open from 9:30 in the morning until 5:00 in the afternoon.

"This place... is so deserted!" Teng Shu looked around. Apart from a few people on the street, there was almost no one near the entrance of Xita Park.

Teng Shu shook his head, but since he was already there, he took the Abandoned Monkey and New Leaf Cat for a stroll around the place.

The abandoned monkey followed the vine tree quietly the whole way, while only the new leaf cat seemed to be interested in the surrounding environment, curiously looking around.

As soon as he arrived behind the original ruins of West Tower, Tengshu saw a Pokémon standing there with a panel on its body. Tengshu was a little surprised; he really didn't expect it to be so easy to find this beacon Pokémon this time.

It was a natural bird.

The other person's features were so distinctive that Teng Shu recognized them at a glance.

[Natural Bird]

[Superpowers/Flight]

Feeling down

It was a very simple panel, but when Tengshu saw it, he couldn't help but rub his eyes. He even began to doubt whether he was seeing things. After all, every Pokémon sent to him had some kind of problem, which was almost unavoidable.

You rarely encounter Pokémon that are perfectly healthy and without any physical disabilities, illnesses, or psychological problems.

"But there really isn't a problem, but..." Teng Shu scratched his head. He glanced at the Newleafy that was munching on grass next to him. When he first encountered Newleafy, it was almost dead, which is why Teng Shu rushed to the Pokémon Hospital in a panic. This time, Teng Shu was prepared to face the same situation, but who knew that Natu was perfectly fine, which seemed very absurd.

Teng Shu walked over, and as he got closer, he found that the Natural Bird didn't make a sound at all, just standing there. However, at this moment, Teng Shu could sense the Natural Bird's emotions, which were very strange. When Teng Shu sensed them, he felt a trace of sorrow.

The bird in the wild seems to be reminiscing about something.

Teng Shu looked at the West Tower in front of him.

According to the League, the West Tower once burned three Pokémon inside. These three Pokémon were later revived by Ho-Oh and became the Legendary Beasts: Entei, Raikou, and Suicune.

There were no other casualties reported, but the natural bird seemed to be reminiscing about something, and Tengshu felt it was unlikely that there really were none. If there weren't any, the natural bird wouldn't be like this.

Teng Shu looked around and then noticed some bouquets on the soil in front of him, along with some withered tree fruits. He wondered who had put them there, perhaps by citizens of Enju City.

After a while, the bird made a slight movement. It preened its feathers and then noticed the vine tree next to it.

"Hello?" Tengshu greeted the natural bird. Surprisingly, the natural bird was not startled. Instead, it calmly nodded, which left Tengshu stunned.

He had been wondering if his actions would frighten the natural bird, but since the natural bird hadn't made a sound, Tengshu came to its side to see if there were any clues nearby. He never expected it to turn out like this.

"Natural Bird...do you have any family here?" Teng Shu asked tentatively, looking at the Natural Bird.

He wasn't worried that Natu wouldn't understand, since Natu is a Psychic Pokémon with a strong comprehension ability.

The natural bird nodded, then pulled out a flower from somewhere and placed it on the soil of the West Tower ruins.

Tengshu was somewhat surprised, not expecting that it was actually the natural bird that placed it. Although Tengshu had wondered before if the natural bird had done it, he hadn't considered the natural bird since it hadn't been carrying anything.

However, Tengshu also confirmed that Nargacuga's situation was indeed quite special. Its family perished in the West Tower, and it seemed that Nargacuga's family had not been resurrected by Ho-Oh as the Three Legendary Beasts.

Teng Shu now understood why this had triggered the beacon mission. Although he had found it easily, the problem was how to bring it back to the orphanage.

"Natural Bird, I am Tengshu. I currently run a welfare home..." Tengshu asked tentatively. Natural Bird didn't move or react at all; it just stood there.

“There is a cemetery in my orphanage where the dead can rest in peace.” Teng Shu thought of the cemetery. For a natural bird, perhaps the only thing worth caring about is the cemetery.

Sure enough, upon hearing this, the natural bird's emotions fluctuated somewhat. It turned its head to look at the vine tree, its eyes carrying a hint of inquiry.

Chapter 286 Lottery Draw

"Really." Teng Shu looked at the natural bird in front of him and said seriously. He never bothered to lie. The natural bird fell silent after hearing this.

Then the natural bird bent down, used its superpowers to wrap a clump of soil, dug it out, and placed it in front of the vine tree.

Looking at the soil in front of him, Teng Shu understood what Natural Bird meant. This clump of soil must be the remains left behind by Natural Bird's family.

The fire has been burning for many years. The vine tree doesn't know how big the natural bird was or how long it stayed here, but presumably its remains are now hard to find, so it can only dig out soil to replace them.

Fortunately, the bird understood what the vine meant. Without the vine making any move, the nearby wood flew over and quickly formed a box, even using mortise and tenon joints, without using any nails to fix it.

Then the soil burrowed into the box on its own, and the box fell into the vine's hand.

"Let's go, Natural Bird." Teng Shu took the box, held it carefully in his hands, and then looked at Natural Bird. Natural Bird nodded silently, then flew up and followed behind Teng Shu.

Teng Shu looked at the natural bird, still somewhat bewildered. He really hadn't expected the natural bird to follow him so easily. However, this was probably due to the cemetery, as Teng Shu could tell that the natural bird cared a lot about the cemetery.

But no matter what, it's a good thing that the beacon mission was completed, even though Teng Shu felt that the completion of this beacon mission was a bit too abrupt.

Teng Shu had been prepared to stay in Yuanzhu City for a few days, but she didn't expect it to be done so easily. She could even fly back now and still have time to go back to the orphanage to cook dinner.

After all, Enju City and Chōsei City aren't particularly far apart; you can get there quickly by plane.

[You have already won one chance to participate in the lottery in the store. Would you like to participate?] Looking at this prompt, Teng Shu hesitated for a moment. He was thinking about whether he should take a shower and change his clothes, and then rub his hands together before participating in the lottery. After all, this thing only gives you one chance, and the prices of the items in the store vary greatly.

"Right, let's see what's available first." Teng Shu opened the store and then selected to sort by price.

[Heart of the Divine Beast: All divine beasts will trust you completely, and your favorability will be raised to the maximum—9999999+ Happiness Points]

The first one was heavyweight; even Teng Shu couldn't make out how many 9s there were. There were just so many that it made Teng Shu's scalp tingle. He really hadn't expected there to be so many 9s. This prop was probably one he could never get in his lifetime.

However, this thing is indeed amazing. It's the Heart of a Divine Beast! It raises the favorability of all divine beasts to the extreme. At that time, he can become a god in the entire alliance. After all, the power of divine beasts is much stronger than in the game. Destroying the world is not just a casual saying.

[Tears of Eternity: Once placed, all life forms within the orphanage will have unlimited lifespans, their vitality will no longer diminish, and they will be immune to all diseases and aging—99999...]

The same happiness points, although it looks like it has one or two fewer 9s than the previous Divine Beast Heart, it has nothing to do with Teng Shu, he still can't afford it.

"If I could win these two items, I'd be considered to have cheated." Although Teng Shu was very envious, he also knew that these things were almost impossible to win. The odds of winning were like randomly buying a scratch-off lottery ticket on the street and winning a million dollars – the probability was ridiculously low.

[Groudon's Warm Gloves: Groudon's favorite gloves. Last time, someone mocked Groudon for not being able to fly, and Groudon punched the guy while wearing the gloves. Put the gloves away; the temperature inside the orphanage is kept constant at 26 degrees Celsius.]

[Ho-Oh's Walkman: As a pop singer, Ho-Oh's favorite thing to do is wear headphones and listen to music, playing music for Pokémon. The length of a song can cure any disease.]

[Eternatus Power Fragment: A fragment containing the power of Eternatus; the Pokémon holding it can Dynamax anytime, anywhere.]

Tengshu's eyes were almost dazzled by the sheer number of props. He couldn't help but swallow hard. These things were powerful and useful, but their only drawback was that they were quite expensive, and Tengshu still couldn't afford them, although they weren't as good as the two mentioned above.

"Forget it, hesitation will only lead to defeat!" Teng Shu chose to draw a prize. He couldn't wait until he went back. Anyway, no matter what it was, Teng Shu wouldn't regret drawing it, since he couldn't regret it even if he wanted to.

Congratulations! You have obtained an unnamed item.

"?" Teng Shu slowly typed out a question mark. What is an unnamed item?

Despite his doubts, Teng Shu walked steadily. He planned to take a plane directly back to Changqing City, where he still needed to put the box in his hand into the cemetery.

Moreover, it doesn't affect anything at all if you walk around and check things out at the same time.

[Unnamed Item: This is a magical item. Because the Pokémon to which it belongs has not yet decided on a name, it is currently nameless. Placing this item will allow abandoned Pokémon in the orphanage to receive a spiritual baptism once a month.]

"Pokémon hasn't decided on a name yet? Mewtwo?" Upon seeing this description, Teng Shu immediately thought of a Pokémon name: Mewtwo.

"Moreover, spiritual baptism is quite in line with the characteristics of superpowers." Teng Shu stroked his chin. Although he didn't know what spiritual baptism meant, it was undoubtedly a good thing. Teng Shu took it out and looked at it. It was a small figurine.

However, it wasn't Mewtwo's design, but rather an eyeball design. Although it looked a bit creepy, after a closer look, Teng Shu realized that it was actually quite similar to the symbol for the Psychic attribute.

Teng Shu curiously searched the system store and found that this thing was priced at one million happiness points. This immediately gave Teng Shu an idea.

"Can the reward items be recycled? Half price is fine too!" Teng Shu asked excitedly in his mind.

Half of one million is five hundred thousand. Five hundred thousand is enough for Teng Shu to fill the welfare home. Then there will be a way to treat Ralts's illness, and she won't have to take medicine every day.

Tengshu no longer has to helplessly watch his Pokémon in the yard get sick and feel powerless to do anything about it.

Prize draw items cannot be recycled, but other redeemed items can be recycled, with a 75% loss rate.

This time they did give a reply. Teng Shu's lips twitched. It really would have been better not to recycle it at all. Seventy-five, which means that out of one million, he could only get two hundred and fifty thousand.

However, Teng Shu would consider it if it were 250,000, since 250,000 is quite a lot of happiness points.

Unfortunately, the prizes won in the lottery cannot be returned.

Chapter 287 The Temperamental, Sweet, and Cold Empress

"Dean, you're back so quickly..." Locke looked at Teng Shu with some surprise. He originally thought that Teng Shu would need some time to go to Yuanzhu City, but he didn't expect him to come back so quickly, and even brought a natural bird with him.

However, this natural bird seemed rather calm.
