I run an orphanage in the Pokémon world.

After Tengshu left, Gengar emerged from the room, tilting its head as it watched Tengshu's retreating figure, seemingly lost in thought.

Tengshu was unaware that Gengar was still staring at him. After all, he hadn't expected Gengar to be so curious about him. Most of the time, Ghost Pokémon liked to play pranks or scare people, and for these Pokémon, this was their most enjoyable way of life.

Tengshu's main purpose today was to meet Manchong. Now that it's finally over, he can go back soon. The next time he makes a follow-up visit, he can just call back, which is very effortless.

"Let me see, there shouldn't be any other adopters who have moved to the Fengyuan area, right?" Teng Shu thought of something, and as he walked towards the outer edge of Orange Blossom Forest, he took out his phone to check his adopter information.

Although a fully charged situation like this is an isolated case, similar things do happen sometimes. So Tengshu felt it would be better to keep an eye on things. If someone really moved here, Tengshu could visit them as soon as possible to avoid having to fly over again, which would be too troublesome.

After taking a look, Teng Shu breathed a sigh of relief; so far, no one else had moved here.

"...When the time comes, you take care of this matter..." Teng Shu paused for a moment, then subconsciously darted behind a tree. He then peeked out and saw two people dressed in strange clothes whispering to each other in front of him.

Although these people were dressed very strangely, Teng Shu still recognized them.

Lava Team.

After all, their attire was very unique, looking like they were wearing cat-ear hoods, making it very memorable.

"Did I draw something that makes me encounter villains from other regions whenever I go there?" Teng Shu was a little nervous. When he went to the Carlos region before, he also encountered the villain boss there. Although he didn't encounter Crimson Pine and Water Archie here, he did encounter members of Team Lava.

Simply toxic.

However, the situation in the Hoenn region is quite different from other regions. After all, in the Hoenn region, the information about the leaders of Team Magma and Team Aqua is already clear. It's just that these two guys are too good at hiding, so they haven't been caught yet. Even if Tengshu knows what these two people will do in the future, there's not much he can do now.

The two Lava Team members exchanged a few words and prepared to leave. Seeing that they didn't reveal any other information, Teng Shu rushed out.

Although these two had their own Pokémon, these Pokémon were of little use against Tengshu, so in no time, both of them were subdued by Tengshu and then handed over to Officer Jenny of the Hoenn region.

After finishing all that, Teng Shu took a plane back to Changqing City, drove his small truck parked outside, and went back to his orphanage.

"...A surreal simulation game?" Teng Shu raised an eyebrow as he looked at the flyer that had been placed in his car. Seeing this was quite a surprise to him, but he wasn't really interested in this kind of game, so after glancing at it, he put it aside. Perhaps someone dressed as a bear would like it more.

So, thinking about this, Teng Shu kept the item. Otherwise, he felt he probably wouldn't have been interested in getting his hands on such things.

The streets of Changqing City remained unchanged, showing no apparent alteration. Teng Shu observed Changqing City with a calm expression, finding the current situation quite normal and unremarkable.

Just as he was thinking this, Teng Shu paused for a moment because he saw the Journey to the West characters walking by on the street. Looking at these people, Teng Shu's expression was somewhat subtle. He really hadn't expected that Journey to the West would gain its own fans so quickly after the animation was released. This surprised Teng Shu.

"...But this Monkey King, isn't it Infernape?" Looking at the Infernape carrying a golden cudgel, Teng Shu rubbed his eyes. It was indeed Infernape; he hadn't made a mistake. However, this cosplay seemed to be quite expensive. At least the Infernape's outfit looked very much like the Monkey King, leaving Teng Shu stunned.

Teng Shu glanced at it again and saw that the character of Zhu Bajie was actually played by Pupu Pig. Teng Shu was a little confused when he saw this, but looking at Pupu Pig carrying the nine-toothed rake, Teng Shu was silent for a moment and then rubbed his cheek.

Looking at it this way, there doesn't seem to be any problem. After all, Pupu Pig is very suitable to play Zhu Bajie, so it can be said that he is playing himself.

"This is really..." Teng Shu shook his head. He glanced at it, wondering who Tang Sanzang was. Upon closer inspection, Teng Shu realized that Tang Sanzang was played by the same person, and the white dragon horse he rode was a fiery steed, and he was holding a staff. So, if that's the case, then Sha Wujing is...

Teng Shu couldn't help but glance over, and then he saw a Swamp King following behind him with a憨厚 (honest and simple) manner.

Seemingly noticing Teng Shu's gaze, Swamp King turned his head to look at Teng Shu. When he saw Teng Shu, he waved his little paws in a very憨厚 (honest and simple) manner, which made Teng Shu's mouth twitch. So, the role of Sha Wujing was actually played by Swamp King? This really left Teng Shu a little confused.

However, looking at Swamp King's appearance, Teng Shu suddenly felt that Swamp King playing Sha Wujing didn't seem to be a problem. After all, Sha Wujing didn't have many scenes in Journey to the West, and the most he said was things like, "Eldest brother, Master has been captured by a monster."

Tengshu was somewhat amused and exasperated. This cosplay was, to say the least, quite fitting, and Tengshu discovered that doing these kinds of cosplays in the Pokémon world was indeed quite convenient.

Teng Shu shook his head, then started the car again and drove towards the location of the welfare home.

However, now Teng Shu can understand how popular comic artists feel. When a work has a super powerful IP, then the future development of the work itself is often not something that the author can decide alone.

Just like Teng Shu himself, now his editors are starting to ask him to come up with some ideas for theatrical versions so that they can be made into theatrical versions. The money they offer is quite a lot, and it is indeed hard for Teng Shu to refuse. Moreover, with the increasing popularity of Journey to the West, his editors have even asked him if he wants to broaden the storyline of the comic, at least to make it last for more than ten years, which makes Teng Shu feel a little dumbfounded.

However, this can be considered a kind of happy trouble for Tengshu, since other people don't have this problem. Only popular works have this kind of trouble, where they can't even finish writing the story.

Take Naruto and One Piece as examples. Naruto ended relatively smoothly, but the later plot was criticized by a lot of people. As for One Piece, before Tengshu transmigrated, the plot was still so suffocating, and people were criticizing it more and more. It can only be said that if One Piece cannot provide a convincing answer, then the rating of this work may be greatly affected.

Chapter 601 Bangiras

Although these troubles are actually happy troubles, after all, for Teng Shu, he has completely changed his life thanks to Journey to the West. At least now Teng Shu's orphanage no longer needs to worry about money.

"Then it's about time to take those kids and little ones for a team-building activity." Teng Shu stroked his chin, not forgetting what he needed to do.

After all, Tengshu had discussed it with Giovanni beforehand. Although Giovanni wasn't going, some of the elite students from the gym would go with Tengshu. Tengshu wondered whether they were elite students or high-ranking members of Team Rocket, but they probably weren't high-ranking members.

When he drove back to the welfare home, Teng Shu felt much better looking at it. Every time he went on a business trip, he would feel like he had a place to rest his soul when he came back. Indeed, people still need a place to live these days.

As soon as Tengshu entered, he saw that the bear wearing a suit was doing a live stream, looking very focused. Tengshu smiled when he saw this. The little bear wearing a suit was quite worry-free these days. It didn't do much every day, just playing games and doing live streams and such. Tengshu didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

Freelancing isn't bad, of course, provided you can support yourself. If you can't support yourself, then things get complicated.

Furthermore, freelancers don't have pensions or anything like that, so they need to earn enough money for retirement before they retire, otherwise it will be very troublesome.

Teng Shu parked the car and got out. But as soon as he got out, he felt someone hug his leg. He looked down and saw Hua Yedi, who was staring at him expectantly. Teng Shu smiled and patted Hua Yedi's head.

"Good morning, Huayedi." Tengshu greeted Huayedi with a smile. He had returned the next morning. Tengshu yawned. Although he had slept well, he was still quite tired from the business trip.

"~" Hua Yedi happily hugged the vine tree, then flew around the vine tree once, and then, with the help of the wind, landed directly on the vine tree's shoulder and sat there quietly. The vine tree was also a little amused and exasperated.

However, now is not the time to talk about these things. Teng Shu brought Hua Ye Di to the infirmary for a look. The Albirex's condition has stabilized a lot, but the troublesome thing is that it still doesn't have a single feather on its body. However, the Albirex seems to have regained some strength.

Pipi was also there, but she was discharged from the hospital quite quickly. Tengshu planned to send Pipi away once she was fully recovered.

After reading this, Teng Shu felt much better. It seemed that setting up two medical pods was the right choice, even though they were a bit pricey.

"Dean, you're back?" Locke looked at Teng Shu with some surprise. Teng Shu nodded. He must have come back, after all, a follow-up visit mission couldn't last too long.

"Oh, right, Director, while you were away yesterday, a... very special Pokémon came to the orphanage." Locke remembered something and quickly told Teng Shu.

"Special? What's going on?" Teng Shu was a little confused. He had glanced around the orphanage when he first came in and hadn't seen anything unusual.

Locke didn't say anything, but stood up and drew back the curtains. After drawing back the curtains, Teng Shu also looked outside, but there was nothing outside the infirmary.

Teng Shu was a little confused, so what was going on?

"Huh? It was here before..." Locke was a little confused, then scratched his head. Tengshu was also a little puzzled when he heard this. So, what Pokémon did Locke see?

“Dean, it’s actually a Tyranitar.” Locke quickly told Tengshu, who paused for a moment upon hearing this.

Bangilas?

"So why is there a Tyranitar? And I didn't see one just now." Teng Shu was a little confused. He was very familiar with Tyranitar, a powerful and popular Pokémon that many people would train as their main battle Pokémon. However, in the world of Pokémon, training a Tyranitar is actually quite troublesome.

Because Tyranitar is a unique Pokémon, it eats a lot in the early stages, and even after evolving into Tyranitar, it still eats a lot.

Raising Tyranitar is comparable to raising Snorlax, and may even be a bit more demanding. After all, Tyranitar's previous evolution was described in the Pokédex as having "eaten up a mountain," which shows just how much Tyranitar can eat.

However, Tengshu once had some doubts about this setting. After all, in Tengshu's opinion, if Tyranitar really ate up a mountain, how many mountains in the Pokémon world would Tyranitar have enough to eat? That would be too outrageous.

However, after asking Professor Oak, Tengshu realized that the so-called mountain was not what Tengshu thought it was. A mountain that is hundreds or thousands of meters high is not considered a mountain in the Pokémon world. For people, a mountain that is only a few dozen meters high can be called a mountain, which is why such an absurd situation occurred.

"It was here before..." Locke was also a little confused. Tengshu even doubted whether what Locke saw was Tyranitar or Ditto, since Ditto also has this ability.

"Never mind, it's probably gone." Teng Shu wasn't too concerned. He didn't see any panel; if Tyranitar was abandoned...

Thinking of this, Teng Shu's expression twisted somewhat. To be honest, he found it hard to imagine that anyone would choose to abandon Tyranitar. After all, it was Tyranitar, a very powerful and popular battle Pokémon even in this world.

However, considering that even the Altaria can be abandoned due to illness, Tengshu felt that if the Tyranitar had some kind of illness, then it was also possible that it would be abandoned.

However, if he can't see him now, Tengshu won't know what's going on with Bangilas.

Thinking this, Teng Shu decided to go back and take care of his own business. After all, he had conducted a follow-up visit and needed to file the follow-up information and send a copy to the alliance for backup. This was a very important work document.

As soon as he opened the door, Tengshu paused for a moment because he saw a giant Pokémon in front of him.

Bangilas!

Teng Shu didn't see any panel. He subconsciously took a step back, looked up at the Pokémon. It was indeed Tyranitar, but it didn't have a panel, so it wasn't an abandoned Pokémon.

Chapter 602 Pokémon Nearing the End of Their Lifespan

But if Tyranitar isn't an abandoned Pokémon, then how did it end up here? Could it be here as a wild Pokémon?

This isn't just Tengshu bragging. After all, Tengshu himself knows that his current orphanage is quite special. It's a perfect place for Pokémon to live, so although there aren't many Pokémon in the orphanage, there are a huge number of wild Pokémon, to the point of being ridiculous. Under such circumstances, it wouldn't be surprising if a Pokémon like Tyranitar wanted to join.

At least, Teng Shu himself could accept it.

Thinking about this, Tengshu had some ideas, but the most important thing now was to see what Tyranitar wanted to do. While thinking about this, Tengshu saw Tyranitar gesture at him and then take out something. Tengshu saw very clearly that Tyranitar took out a Poké Ball, a broken Poké Ball.

Teng Shu was a little confused, so Tyranitar pulled out a broken Poké Ball in front of him. What did that mean?

"Tyranitar, are you an abandoned Pokémon?" Tengshu looked at Tyranitar. There was nothing he could do. Since Tyranitar couldn't be communicated with, Tengshu could only try to confirm with Tyranitar. If Tyranitar was really abandoned, why didn't it have any stats?

This is also a crucial question, but we need to see how Bangilas is doing before considering anything else.

“Roar.” Tyranitar shook his head, and then Tengshu keenly noticed that Tyranitar’s mood had become somewhat lost. This loss was so strong that Tengshu himself could sense Tyranitar’s abnormality.

Teng Shu was even more confused. If that wasn't the case, then...

It's definitely not a wild Pokémon, because a wild Tyranitar wouldn't be carrying a broken Poké Ball.

"Do you have a trainer, Tyranitar?" Teng Shu continued to ask. Hearing this, Tyranitar immediately looked up at Teng Shu, then nodded vigorously. Teng Shu paused for a moment; it seemed he was right—Tyranitar did have a trainer. So why...?

Teng Shu's brain was working at lightning speed.

"Tyranitar, did you... leave your trainer on your own because of something?" Tengshu continued to probe. After all, Tyranitar had come to him now, and frankly speaking, Tengshu had no intention of restricting Tyranitar. So strictly speaking, if Tyranitar wanted to, it could leave at any time, and Tengshu would not stop it. But Tyranitar did nothing, which was very interesting.

In this situation, what exactly is Bangiras planning to do?

Tyranitar nodded and roared twice. Looking at Tyranitar in front of him, Tengshu seemed to understand something. Tyranitar seemed to have his own reasons for not going back, but what exactly were those reasons?

Teng Shu had some doubts.

Just as Teng Shu was pondering, Professor Oak came over. He had originally planned to do some other research, but remembered that there were some things he needed to talk to Teng Shu about, so he came to find him. However, as soon as he arrived, Professor Oak's gaze fell on Tyranitar, and his brows furrowed slightly.

“This Tyranitar…” Professor Oak looked at the Tyranitar in front of him with some surprise, and when Teng Shu saw Professor Oak’s expression, he immediately knew that Professor Oak probably knew something.

"Professor Oak, what's wrong with Tyranitar? He came here by himself, and then I don't know what happened..." Tengshu said to Professor Oak, and as Professor Oak listened, he had some ideas in his mind. He looked at Tengshu, then went over and touched Tyranitar. Tyranitar stood there obediently, without making a sound.

However, after Professor Oak finished touching it, a hint of regret appeared on his face. Seeing this, Teng Shu immediately understood that Professor Oak had probably noticed something wrong with Tyranitar.

This made Tengshu a little nervous, but he was mostly curious, since it was the first time he had ever seen such a unique Pokémon as Tyranitar.

"This Tyranitar... is about to die of old age." Professor Oak looked at the Tyranitar before him. Hearing this, Tyranitar smiled slightly and then roared. Teng Shu was somewhat surprised; Tyranitar...

Are you getting old and dying?

The words "Bangilas, old and dead" are separate, and Tengshu knows them, but now that they're mixed together, Tengshu doesn't quite understand what they mean.

"But Professor Oak, isn't Tyranitar a Rock Pokémon?" Teng Shu was a little confused. Tyranitar is a Rock and Dark type Pokémon, and Rock Pokémon are a very special type.

In the Pokémon world, there are different discussions and opinions about the lifespan of Pokémon. However, according to the research of Pokémon professors, they have also discovered that Rock and Steel types are particularly long-lived, but they can still die. As for Ghost-type Pokémon, there are currently no research results, since they are too long-lived. To date, no Pokémon professor has outlived a Ghost-type Pokémon.

However, Rock and Steel types also have very long lifespans. Although they do die, based on some abandoned and fossilized items, Professor Pokémon speculates that Rock and Steel type Pokémon do not die of old age in the conventional sense. Instead, their bodies gradually solidify, becoming more and more like rock and steel. Then their souls and wills become weaker and weaker, and they are eventually assimilated into stone and steel, ultimately losing their consciousness, which can be considered as dying of old age.

However, this process is very long. After all, it is extremely difficult for Rock and Steel type Pokémon to reach this level. At least for Tengshu, it is very difficult to even see it. But Tyranitar in front of us is another special case.

Among these attributes, some Pokémon have flesh and blood, so these Pokémon cannot be assimilated...

In conclusion, the issue of Pokémon dying of old age is a very troublesome and perplexing problem that most people really can't understand, making it quite a headache.

However, a Pokémon like Tyranitar can die of old age and pass on its lineage for generations without any problem.

"It's a Rock type, but sometimes Pokémon have internal injuries during battles, and when they have internal injuries..." Professor Oak shook his head. Teng Shu understood at this point. When people are sick, it can sometimes affect their lifespan, let alone Pokémon.

So strictly speaking, it's not hard to understand why Tyranitar is in this situation. However, thinking about this, Teng Shu's expression became somewhat melancholy. Tyranitar is really unlucky. But if that's the case, what is Tyranitar's purpose in coming here?

Teng Shu pondered this question. He looked at Tyranitar before him, who looked back at him with a hint of melancholy and sorrow in its eyes. Teng Shu met that gaze, paused for a moment, then took a deep breath. Could Tyranitar be...?

Professor Oak spoke briefly with Teng Shu before hurriedly leaving. Although Professor Oak could tell that Tyranitar was nearing the end of its lifespan, he was, after all, a Pokémon Professor, and he had seen this kind of thing countless times. So, he was quite calm about it. Having seen it so many times, he was naturally not so easily saddened.

Teng Shu looked at Tyranitar in front of him, who was looking at him. Teng Shu took a deep breath and then looked at Tyranitar.

"Tyranitar, do you... want to... die here?" Teng Shu looked at Tyranitar. Upon hearing this, Tyranitar's lips curled into a grin, as if he were smiling. Seeing Tyranitar's expression, Teng Shu fell silent. His suspicions were correct; Tyranitar did indeed intend to die here.

Now that you mention it, Tengshu can understand why Tyranitar would do this. Looking at Tyranitar in front of him, Tengshu scratched his head. There's still one question: why did Tyranitar choose to stay with him? But Tengshu doesn't want to ask anymore. Since Tyranitar has made his decision, all Tengshu can do is respect and offer his blessings, even though it sounds a bit strange.

Tengshu looked at Tyranitar and nodded. Tyranitar smiled and handed the broken Poké Ball to Tengshu. Then, Tyranitar walked towards the habitat of Rock Pokémon, lay down on a rock, closed its eyes, and appeared to be lifeless. If Tengshu hadn't realized that Tyranitar was still alive, he would have thought that Tyranitar had already left this world.

“Tyranitar…” Teng Shu looked at Tyranitar with a hint of melancholy on his lips. He had just looked it up and found that if it was Tyranitar, then when it died of old age, it would usually rest in one place. When the fourth one died, its body would gradually turn into rock, and then, under the great power of nature, it would become a small mountain.

Tengshu suddenly understood why there was a saying about Tyranitar eating a mountain in its evolutionary path. It turned out that although Tyranitar could eat a mountain, it would also give back its body and everything to the world when it died.

Holding the Poké Ball in his hand, Teng Shu looked at Tyranitar with some confusion. He didn't understand why Tyranitar would choose to stay with him. Although Teng Shu wouldn't ask, he still felt puzzled.

...

Tyranitar closed its eyes, its breathing long and slow. But Tyranitar didn't care. It should have died long ago. If it weren't for its trainer's ideals, if it weren't for wanting to see its trainer, if it weren't for wanting to see its trainer's smile a little longer, Tyranitar might have given up long ago.

There were many battles, and they were quite intense. Although the Pokémon League rules stipulated that the battles shouldn't be too intense, Tyranitar still suffered some internal injuries. Tyranitar also noticed that its body was slowly weakening. Its moves, which were usually very powerful, were now much less powerful.

This annoyed Tyranitar. It could have stayed here and enjoyed everything, but after the trainer learned about Tyranitar's physical condition, Tyranitar was protected. The trainer also seemed to have given up her ideals and began to accompany Tyranitar every day, carefully taking care of it. But this was not what Tyranitar wanted to see.

What it wanted to see was its trainer smiling happily, commanding the battle with great vigor, and then sending all the enemies away in a majestic and domineering manner. But now, all of that is gone, which makes Tyranitar very sad. Tyranitar also suddenly realized that it seems to have become a burden to its trainer. So Tyranitar was depressed for a long time before deciding to change everything.

It tried its best to do many things, but to no avail. The trainer still carefully stayed with it and took care of it, which made Tyranitar feel very irritated. So Tyranitar chose to run away from home. It ran away from home while the trainer went to the hospital to get medicine.
