I run an orphanage in the Pokémon world.

Based on these few days of observation, Tengshu didn't find any problems. Froakie and Fennekin both behaved perfectly normally, without any issues. Even Locke couldn't detect anything wrong. The "Basic Personality Assessment" test he gave them, a small psychological test, also came out perfectly; they were just very normal, very ordinary Pokémon.

"Let's observe for another day. If there are still no problems, then we can put it on the adoption list." Teng Shu nodded. There was no other way; some Pokémon problems might only appear after a long period of time.

There was a shocking incident in the league before, where a Psychic Pokémon developed an extreme desire to control its trainer after spending a long time with the trainer. It even forbade the trainer from raising other Pokémon, and in severe cases, it would even go out of control, causing a lot of problems.

Later, the league added more requirements in this area, especially for adopted Pokémon, which basically required a basic personality assessment.

But now that there are no problems, there's no need to worry about them anymore.

After all, nothing in this world is perfect. Teng Shu is well aware of this. A perfect world only exists in dreams. Sometimes, adopting a Pokémon means something, and it also means that you need to take a serious gamble with the Pokémon that accompanies you.

This is someone who deserves attention.

[Dean Tengshu, someone wants to adopt a baby Rada and will arrive this afternoon. Please prepare to receive them.]

A text message popped up, and Teng Shu paused for a moment, somewhat incredulous. Someone actually wanted to adopt a little Rada?

Teng Shu was pleasantly surprised; this was truly a timely help. Although it came somewhat abruptly, it was still a good thing, at least for Teng Shu.

Thinking of this, Teng Shu glanced at Ho-Oh beside him. Speaking of which, he was quite lucky today. Was it because Jirachi brought him the Wishing Bottle?

Phoenix King didn't stay long. She had just been glanced at by Teng Shu when she suddenly remembered that she hadn't turned off the gas at home, so she went back to turn it off. Teng Shu was rather suspicious of Phoenix King's words, but he didn't say anything in the end.

Instead, he looked at the information of this adopter. Teng Shu remembered that the last adopter was a member of the Rockets, and there was almost some trouble later, but fortunately it was resolved smoothly in the end.

So this time, I hope it's a normal person.

After looking at the information, Teng Shu pinched the bridge of his nose. This time, the adopter was a 28-year-old man, an ordinary office worker, very ordinary, just like an ordinary person, and there seemed to be nothing wrong with him.

He must be a good person, right?

When he saw his target, Teng Shu paused for a moment.

"No, what kind of strange plot twist is this?" Teng Shu's eyebrows twitched. He looked at the burly man in front of him. The man had a face full of scars and a knife scar on his face. He looked rather strange. He was the kind of person that Officer Jenny would have to ask several times if she saw him on the street.

"Hello, you must be... Mr. Daigang, right?" Teng Shu felt that the name was indeed very fitting.

"Yes, I am Da Gang. I came here mainly to adopt Little Rada." The man laughed heartily, but when he walked up to Teng Shu, even though Teng Shu was 1.8 meters tall, he had to look up at him.

This man was very tall, probably over 1.9 meters. He looked very imposing, and his muscles were extremely exaggerated, making Teng Shu wonder if this Mr. Big Steel had some kind of strange side job.

For example, becoming a fitness instructor.

"Mr. Daigang, may I ask why you want to adopt Rada?" Tengshu usually doesn't ask guests these kinds of questions, but looking at this outrageous man in front of him, Tengshu couldn't help but ask.

"Well... actually, the main thing is that when I was little, my family was very poor, so I didn't have any Pokémon to raise. Later, I raised a little Rattata, and then it evolved into Raticate. But a year ago, my Rattata passed away." Steel's voice was a little somber.

Upon hearing this, Teng Shu understood.

Rattata is a very common Pokémon with a short lifespan, so compared to other Pokémon, this is indeed the case.

Chapter 597 A Match Made in Heaven!

The lifespan of Pokémon is not fixed. Some Pokémon can outlive three generations of their ancestors, while others can outlive five or six generations if a Pokémon lives to the standard age of seventy. In some extreme cases, it may even reach the absurd level of ten generations.

These short-lived Pokémon often share a common characteristic: they reproduce very quickly. Therefore, Bug-type Pokémon are often the hardest hit in this category. Perhaps for this reason, although Bug-type Pokémon are easy to train and their battle strength develops quickly, maintaining their peak battle strength requires starting training again every few years.

Otherwise, it's easy for Bug-type Pokémon to die off over time, eventually leading to a mess.

“It’s true that Pokémon like Rattata and Raticate are prone to having these kinds of problems,” Tengshu said with a sigh. Steel, who was standing next to him, nodded in agreement. Then, led by Tengshu, Steel met the Pokémon he planned to adopt, Rattata.

When we saw Rattata, it was busy moving things. This was Rattata's way of surviving in the orphanage. Rattata had discovered that the Pokémon in this place all had their own jobs. When Rattata discovered this, it began to think about what kind of things a Pokémon like itself could do.

After thinking it over and over, Little Rada still couldn't come up with a solution, so it decided to do whatever it could within its power, and so it was currently moving tree fruits.

Looking at the busy little Rattata in front of him, Daigang's expression was somewhat dazed.

At this moment, his memory seemed to be pulled back to his childhood, when his parents were not at home. He had played in the water in the morning and developed a high fever in the afternoon. He wanted to call his parents, but he was too weak and could only struggle desperately. It was at that time, when Da Gang was delirious with fever, that he saw a small figure.

The other party struggled to pull the object over, then moved something much larger than itself, and handed it to him. Only then did Da Gang realize it was a water cup.

He took a sip of water and regained some strength, so he asked Rattata to move other things. He wanted to move the landline phone directly, but since landlines were still used in the Pokémon world at that time, there was no way to do so. Steelix tried to get Rattata to press the emergency call button, but Rattata didn't quite understand what that meant. Later, Steelix fainted in his anxiety.

When he woke up, he was already in the hospital. His mother was sitting next to him with red eyes. Later he learned that the emergency center had received a call, but no one spoke, only the little Lada's barking. The emergency center staff took this to heart and found Da Gang's home based on the landline address before bringing Da Gang over.

From that day on, Dagang felt that the cutest Pokémon in the world was undoubtedly Rattata. Rattata was just too cute and too reliable.

So he refused to become a trainer and focused on raising that little Rattata, turning it into Rattata. In the end, Rattata stopped breathing in his palm.

At that moment, Da Gang, an adult, burst into tears.

Later, Dagon never raised any other Pokémon. He was promoted and received a raise, but when he returned to his residence near the company, the house was empty. Only when his parents came over would there be a trace of warmth. It was from that time that Dagon realized how lonely he was.

When a person realizes their loneliness, the feeling of loneliness can be incredibly intense, even accompanied by some negative emotions. That day, Daigang was lying in bed, looking at the computer and the latest NS2 game console, but he had no desire to play at all. Then Daigang started searching, hoping to see if there were any Rattatas available for adoption, and he actually found some.

"...Mr. Daigang?" Tengshu's voice startled Daigang from his reverie. Daigang wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, smiled somewhat embarrassedly, and then his gaze fell on Little Rattata.

"I...I really like it...Can I adopt it?" Da Gang's voice trembled slightly, and Teng Shu smiled and nodded.

He had never seen such an outrageous match value.

100.

It's a perfect score right away.

What is this concept?

Generally speaking, in Tengshu's mind, 50% or more is the minimum acceptable level. However, he would not agree to 50%. 65% is the minimum acceptable level for him. After all, Tengshu knows that feelings can be cultivated slowly, so he is willing to give 65% a chance.

After that, anyone above seventy is considered to have entered the qualified rating.

Eighty is considered good or excellent.

Ninety is generally considered a perfect match, an absurd level where the Pokémon and its trainer are so in sync that it's extremely rare. In the time that Teng Shu ran the orphanage, very few Pokémon had been adopted for more than ninety years.

And this...

one hundred.

This is no longer adoption; it's a match made in heaven. It's the kind of relationship where two people fall in love at first sight and can never escape it. It's the epitome of love at first sight leading to a lifelong commitment. So, Teng Shu naturally had no reason to refuse.

When Rattata turned its head, it saw Steelix. In an instant, the human and the Pokémon stared at each other. Tengshu, standing to the side, felt a prickling sensation all over his body, as if he were an extra person.

"Little Rada!" Da Gang ran over excitedly. Little Rada was a little confused, but seeing Teng Shu standing beside him, he knew that this person must be his adoptive parent.

After confirming that adoption was possible, Da Gang quickly signed a whole bunch of documents, then happily took out a rather expensive deluxe ball, put the little Rattata away, and left happily. Before leaving, he thanked Teng Shu profusely and said that he would definitely come back to bring fruit to Teng Shu the next day, which made Teng Shu both amused and exasperated.

[A match made in heaven! You have gained: 20,000 Happiness Points]

"Hiss..." Teng Shu gasped. Good heavens, he didn't expect to be given 20,000 happiness points directly. This caught Teng Shu a little off guard, but he was also quite happy.

"With such a high match rate, I don't think we need to do a follow-up visit, but this is a requirement of the Alliance." Teng Shu was somewhat helpless. A 100% match rate could be described as a soulmate, the kind destined by fate. Who has the Alliance to criticize? If this were a human, it would be a childhood sweetheart who gets married as soon as they reach marriageable age, has a deep affection for each other, and then the other one dies without hesitation.

However, there was no other way; it was the alliance's requirement, so Teng Shu had to do it. After thinking about it, Teng Shu decided to return the visit in a few months.

With those 20,000 happiness points, Teng Shu bought the medical pod, and soon after, a delivery arrived—it was Hudi Express, the kind that delivers directly to your door.

“Now that we have two, the Tanabata Bluebird will be fine.” Locke nodded as he watched the installers installing the medical pod.

"Indeed." Teng Shu did this precisely because of the Tanabata Bird. If it weren't for the Tanabata Bird, Teng Shu would probably be quite relaxed. But now, there's no problem.

Teng Shu glanced at the Albirex, which was lying quietly and looked a little better.

"Locke, speaking of which, how long does it usually take for a Pokémon like Altaria to grow its feathers back after it recovers from its illness?" Tengshu looked at the bald Altaria with some curiosity.

He remembered that Altaria was a Pokémon with a beautiful singing voice, and its feathers were something it loved to show off. For this reason, you could often find things like feather conditioner in Altaria's Pokémon supplies.

Over time, the price of fur-conditioning products for Pokémon like Altaria has become increasingly high, with the most expensive costing tens of thousands of dollars per bottle, one bottle per use. Of course, the effect is indeed very good, which also makes it quite difficult to train Altaria as a Pokémon.

"Generally speaking, it takes about a month or two?" Locke checked his phone. Teng Shu's lips twitched. He had just been out of his mind and forgot to check. If he had known earlier, he would have checked and wouldn't have needed to ask Locke.

"One or two months..." Teng Shu scratched his head. If it's one or two months, then the Altaria will probably have to wait a while, unless the Altaria is willing to put a picture of itself without feathers in the League's adoption information.

"However, I checked my phone, and it said that in some cases, Pokémon fever may cause Pokémon to permanently lose their feathers. The probability of this happening is about 2% in the tests of 3,000 surviving targets," Locke added. Teng Shu felt a headache coming on when he heard this.

Altaria is a rather special Pokémon. Having feathers and not having feathers are two different things. The current Altaria can only be described as somewhat unbearable to look at. Of course, this may also be because Tengshu is used to seeing Altarias with feathers, and seeing a featherless one is somewhat unsettling.

"I hope it's not that..." Tengshu had a headache. A featherless Tanabata bird could cause a lot of trouble just in terms of psychological issues, let alone adoption. If it were released for adoption, Tengshu felt there would be big problems.

Although Tengshu was very worried, Altaria's illness had not yet improved, so he could only wait patiently. Just as Tengshu was about to leave, he saw a notification on his phone from Officer Jenny. However, this time Officer Jenny didn't send anything strange. Instead, it was an announcement that the trainer who had abandoned Altaria had been arrested for spreading Pokémon fever.

Yes, spreading Pokémon fever is a very serious crime, so it's not surprising that he was arrested. Seeing this, Tengshu felt much relieved. This guy was driving Tengshu crazy. Pokémon fever, if this thing goes wrong, the orphanage will be shut down. It's extremely troublesome.

So now that this person has been arrested, Teng Shu just wants to applaud and feel no sympathy whatsoever for the other party.

After seeing the Qixi Bluebird and the new medical pod, Teng Shu felt much happier. He walked out of the infirmary, intending to see if there was anything else that needed to be added to the welfare home. He figured he could take advantage of the current happiness and resolve the issue.

However, after looking around, Teng Shu didn't find anything particularly obvious or that could be improved. The welfare home was already quite large, and it had even formed a small ecosystem inside. The Pokémon professors were busy coming here every day to do research, because they were very curious about how Teng Shu managed to satisfy every type of Pokémon.

This has also drawn the attention of the Pokémon professors, who are very curious about this issue. However, so far, the Pokémon professors have not made any discoveries.

"How about another upgrade? But then I'll probably have to drive to get from the main gate to my office, right?" Teng Shu pinched his brow, feeling a bit of a headache. To be honest, this problem was giving him some trouble, since the welfare home would be even larger in the next upgrade.

Sometimes, Teng Shu even wondered if his orphanage would turn into some kind of strange nature reserve if it continued to be upgraded like this.

"Forget it, even if it's a protected area, it's not so bad." Teng Shu shook his head. He glanced at it and realized that if he wanted to upgrade the welfare home, all the facilities would need to reach LV4, which was quite difficult. However, for Teng Shu at the moment, it was actually relatively easy.

"Then let's upgrade the canteen and dormitories first." Teng Shu made the decision immediately. The current welfare home has sufficient facilities, but the canteen and dormitories are relatively important, so Teng Shu plans to upgrade them.

[Café LV4. All your ingredients can be eaten by Pokémon, with maximum nutrition, removal of harmful components, and doubled deliciousness.]

The vine was very satisfied. The nutrition was maximized, which meant that the Pokémon could get a good supply of nutrients and harmful components could be removed, so there was no need to worry about food poisoning.

In the world of Pokémon, there is also a plant called green beans, and green beans are, to put it mildly, suffocating.

Raw green beans are fine, cooked green beans are fine, but undercooked green beans are poisonous and can cause suffocation.

Now, even if there's something undercooked, there's no risk of poisoning. Yay!

[Dormitory LV4: Pokémon's stamina recovery rate is doubled, and while residing in the dormitory, constitution increases very slowly.]

Teng Shu nodded. His orphanage was becoming less and less like a typical orphanage, which was quite interesting. However, Teng Shu didn't have many happiness points left after the upgrade, and the other upgrades would have to wait until next time.

Chapter 598 The Reason for the Abandonment of the Froggy Frog

"Today is the day for the follow-up visit." Teng Shu looked at the adoption information form in his hand. According to the alliance's requirements, he needed to complete a follow-up visit, and today was the day Teng Shu had decided to do so.

However, for Teng Shu, the follow-up visit is usually just a formality. After all, so far, the matching value has only increased and has never decreased, so Teng Shu is quite confident about it.

Especially after adoption, so far, Tengshu has never seen a matching value lower than at the time of adoption.

However, there was no other way, since it was a requirement of the alliance. So even though Teng Shu personally felt that it was a waste of time, he still had to go and complete the corresponding follow-up registration due to the alliance's requirements.

"...But this person being followed up has moved? A month ago, they moved to the Hoenn region?" Teng Shu's lips twitched when he saw the registration information.

Hoenn and Kanto are quite far apart, but Tengshu has a very strong impression of the Hoenn region, as it holds many of his memories.

The Jewel & Gem series is also very well-known due to its numerous modified versions.

But for Teng Shu now, he only feels that this return visit is a bit troublesome. Even if the airfare can be reimbursed by the alliance, it is still troublesome, since it takes about ten hours just to fly there.

“It takes twenty hours round trip, but we can’t not follow up. This move is too far… but it seems… there’s no problem?” Teng Shu looked at the documents in his hand, his expression somewhat subtle.

The adopter this time is named Man Chong.

She has green hair, and she has now moved to Petalburg City in the Hoenn region.

Orange City, fully charged.

Green hair.

This combination instantly reminded Tengshu of some strange things. For example, in the game, after the player arrives in Petalburg City, they will meet the protagonist's father, Senri, who will ask the protagonist to bring Zigzagoon to a weak child so that the child can capture a Pokémon.

Regardless of the circumstances, the opponent will encounter Ralts. However, there are rumors that some unlucky players have encountered a Shiny Ralts in the storyline with full charge. But in such cases, even if you catch a Shiny Ralts with full charge, it will turn into a regular Ralts when you encounter it again.

Of course, the probability of this is extremely low, since getting a shiny Pokémon was a very, very difficult thing in the early Pokémon games.

At the same time, the story of Full Charge can be regarded as a tutorial stage for catching Pokémon in the Pokémon series. However, in the unofficial version, Full Charge is usually called Dawn, but because Dawn is the same as the protagonist of the Ruby and Sapphire series, it is easy to cause misunderstanding. The official name is Full Charge.

Tengshu personally quite likes the character of Full Charge. The character is very passionate about Pokémon and has a very easygoing personality. He is also a trainer who doesn't pursue the ability to hatch eggs. However, I heard that he was changed in the remake. I don't know what happened.

"...I guess this is fate?" Teng Shu's expression was a little strange. This time, the adopter was Man Chong. At the time, Teng Shu thought the name was a little strange, but he didn't think much of it. After all, such a thing is not strange in the whole Pokémon world.

In the Pokémon world, hair comes in all sorts of colors. If a rainbow-colored hair appeared in the future, Tengshu could just let it go. However, he never expected that this fully charged character would actually be a character from the game. He just wonders how the character gets along with Pokémon.

The Pokémon adopted by Full Charge is also very unique; it's a Mushroom.

"Forget it, let's just buy plane tickets." Teng Shu scratched his head. This trip would be a good opportunity to go there for a while. However, it would take him more than a day to get back from where he left. How would everyone manage to eat during that time?

Teng Shu didn't hesitate for long before deciding to ask a chef he had worked with before for help. The chef had cooked before, although the taste wasn't as good as Teng Shu's—after all, he couldn't enjoy the benefits of working in the kitchen.

But at least it's still edible.

After explaining things to Locke, Teng Shu booked a plane ticket on his phone. However, when he was about to leave, Teng Shu encountered a new problem.
