I run an orphanage in the Pokémon world.

However, this time, since the Albirex had only been at the orphanage for a short time and spent most of its time seeing doctors, it didn't have many friends. The one standing at the front became the Bloodwing Dragon, and when Xiao Mu saw the Bloodwing Dragon, her eyes widened, as if she was very surprised.

Tengshu wasn't surprised by this, after all, it was Salamence, an extremely powerful Pokémon with incredible strength and exceptional power. Moreover, since it was Tengshu's Pokémon, it had experienced a bloodline reversion, making it naturally more eye-catching than ordinary Pokémon.

Although Xiao Mu was very curious, she did nothing but wait quietly. Then she took the happy Altaria away, and Altaria left with Xiao Mu. However, before leaving, Altaria turned back seriously and bowed to Teng Shu, as if she was doing something. Teng Shu smiled and waved his hand. He knew what Altaria meant; she was thanking him. It was nothing, and Teng Shu himself didn't care much about it.

After seeing off the Qixi Bluebird, Tengshu received a full 8,000 Happiness Points, which he was quite satisfied with. The difficulty of obtaining Happiness Points had been reduced considerably, which made things much easier for Tengshu. After all, if these things were still difficult to do, Tengshu's leveling up would be slower.

So it's better to get more, so that Tengshu can make his orphanage bigger as soon as possible and take in more Pokémon.

Congratulations on successfully adopting fifty Pokémon! You have achieved a milestone.

[The Pokémon's Blessing]

[Pokémon's Blessing Lv.1: Under the current circumstances, all abandoned Pokémon within a one-kilometer radius centered on you will be highlighted and visible to you.]

Teng Shu paused for a moment when he saw the reward. He did the math and realized that with the Tanabata Bluebird, he did have fifty. He just didn't expect to be given something like this.

Teng Shu scratched his head. With a radius of one kilometer, Teng Shu no longer needed to go out and patrol. After all, although the welfare home was large, it was not larger than Teng Shu's sensing range.

"That's great. Now I don't need to go on patrols, and I can focus more on my work every day." Teng Shu breathed a sigh of relief. The reward was actually quite good, at least Teng Shu himself thought so. There were also some unique rewards, so Teng Shu was satisfied with it. After all, this would prevent him from missing anything.

However, doing this would greatly increase the speed at which Tengshu's orphanage could collect Pokémon in the future. Thinking about this, Tengshu couldn't help but laugh and cry. However, he had enough money to support himself now. In the past, Tengshu had considered whether to do something else, such as drawing notebooks.

After all, Tengshu still remembered a few very good types of doujinshi, such as transformation doujinshi, which many people know about. However, Tengshu gave up on them because the Pokémon world also has very strict legal restrictions. So Tengshu only drew Journey to the West.

"However, quite a few Monkey Kings have passed away by now, but..." Teng Shu scratched his head. Now that Journey to the West is preparing to release a theatrical version, Teng Shu still needs to come up with a plan for this theatrical version, but this is really a bit difficult. After thinking for a while, Teng Shu decided to create a background supplement, telling how Monkey King was born, how the Heavenly Court came about, and so on.

That's not bad, but adding more details requires an interesting story, which is quite difficult. Even Teng Shu has to think of a way, but fortunately, he's not in a hurry about this.

Chapter 625 Caracara took the wrong skull

After Altaria was adopted, Tengshu's work became a little easier. However, Tengshu's system has been upgraded, so he has a strange feeling of unease, as if this is just the beginning. After all, Tengshu can now see abandoned Pokémon within a radius, and this ability has indeed greatly increased his speed in adopting Pokémon.

However, on the other hand, Teng Shu has some other things to take care of, so he might be quite busy.

Just after Teng Shu wrote down his rough ideas for the movie's plot, he rubbed his eyes and subconsciously looked at his office. Then he saw a glowing outline flashing in the other side of his field of vision. Teng Shu was surprised when he saw this. So, this is the reward given after the system upgrade?

"This silhouette... it's like using cheat codes in a game." Teng Shu sighed. If this effect were in a game, it would definitely be considered cheating, since this kind of operation is basically no different from using cheat codes. However, looking at this, Teng Shu was also a little curious. This kind of cheat code also symbolizes that there are abandoned Pokémon.

Tengshu quickly walked out of the orphanage and headed towards the glowing silhouette. At first, the silhouette was still a bit blurry, and he could only see the glow. But now, Tengshu could see some blurry figures. When he saw it, he realized that the thing in front of him seemed to be a Pokémon that looked quite familiar.

"This figure... seems to be... Cubone?" Teng Shu looked at the silhouette, which was quite recognizable. After all, Cubone is a Pokémon that is easy to identify, especially when it is holding a bone in its hand, which makes it even easier to distinguish. It was for this reason that Teng Shu was certain that the guy in front of him was Cubone.

However, upon seeing that it was Cubone, Tengshu hesitated. There was nothing he could do about it; this Cubone was a bit special, and Cubone Pokémon are inherently hostile towards humans. This Cubone was a heavyweight among them. But Tengshu didn't know if this Cubone was the same one he had encountered near the Pokémon League headquarters last time. After all, strictly speaking, that Cubone was the most hostile.

And it also relates to something about Tengshu. Tengshu hasn't forgotten Gala Gala's mission; the other party needs to retrieve its skull.

"It shouldn't be, after all, the Alliance headquarters is quite a distance from Changqing City." Teng Shu shook his head. He felt that the possibility of it being the same Caracara was relatively low, but he would just go and take a look first.

So Tengshu walked over quickly, and when he got close enough, he saw the panel of this carala carala.

【Karakara】

[Ground Attributes]

[Abrasions, mild malnutrition]

The panel was quite ordinary, but Teng Shu's expression was somewhat subtle. The situation of this Calakarala made Teng Shu think of some unpleasant things, and this Calakarala seemed to be the same Calakarala that hated humans.

Regardless of whether it was true or not, Teng Shu had to go and see, so he went over. After he got there, he saw the Cara Cara. Cara Cara was stunned when it saw Teng Shu, and then it showed a wary look. Teng Shu's lips twitched. He felt the undisguised hostility on Cara Cara. If that was the case, then this Cara Cara was obviously the one.

Thinking of this, Teng Shu glanced at the other person's head. Speaking of which, Karakara's head was actually topped with someone else's bone. This guy probably took the wrong one, or something else. Anyway, Teng Shu needed to help Karakara get it back. Although it sounded a bit strange, since he had run into it this time, he might as well say it.

"That thing on your head isn't your mother's skull, do you know that?" Teng Shu asked Karakara, taking the initiative.

To be honest, Cubone is a very peculiar Pokémon. Pokémon professors unanimously believe that before it wore the skull, Cubone might have belonged to another unidentified Pokémon. However, once Cubone wore the skull, its identity directly changed to Cubone.

Among the Pokémon professors, some had dissected Cubone and found that Cubone looked quite ordinary after its skull was removed, but it looked completely different from Cubone, which made it somewhat unique. Thinking of this, Teng Shu touched his chin. Cubone, this kind of Pokémon, really has many secrets to be discovered.

"?" Karakara looked at Tengshu in confusion. Seeing this, Tengshu knew that Karakara was actually unaware of this matter. In that case, there should still be a possibility of persuading her.

"Although you might not understand what I'm saying, a Cubone found me. She's a spirit and said that your skull isn't your mother's, it's hers. You've taken the wrong one." Teng Shu said softly. He knew that Cubone was a relatively unique Pokémon, and most Pokémon could understand human language to some extent. However, this understanding was based on those who had interacted with humans. If they hadn't, then they wouldn't be able to understand.

Caracara's pupils dilated in shock. It stared at the vine in front of it in astonishment, as if it wanted to say something but didn't know what to say. Its eyes were also filled with confusion and blankness, as if at this moment, it had no idea what to do.

"Can you understand? I swear, I'm not lying to you." Teng Shu said gently. For a Pokémon like Cubone, this kind of thing is not easy to say. The key is whether Cubone cares or not. Some care a lot, while others don't care at all, or don't care at all. But the Cubone in front of us is obviously a Pokémon that loves its mother very much, so this matter may be a big blow to it.

Caracar clutched its skull, watching Tengshu warily, as if worried that Tengshu would jump over and snatch the skull from its head. However, Tengshu didn't seem to have any such intention; after all, it was best to try and persuade Tengshu.

"Kara?" Kara Kara tentatively called out. Teng Shu couldn't understand it, but he could sense a rather unique emotion from Kara Kara, an emotion that carried a hint of complexity.

"I don't understand, Karakara." Teng Shu was a little helpless. If he could understand, he wouldn't be here. But the problem was, Teng Shu just couldn't understand. He couldn't understand Karakara's meaning at all, which gave Teng Shu a headache.

Karakara drew on the skull on his head, calling out repeatedly, then took the skull off and placed it on the ground. It was the first time Tengshu had seen Karakara without his skull. He seemed quite normal, except for a hint of urgency in his eyes.

"...Would you be willing to return this skull?" Teng Shu asked tentatively. He couldn't understand, but that didn't stop him from guessing, since he had now mastered the unique skill of "random guessing and rote memorization".

Caracara nodded, then looked at the vine tree, but pointed to its bald head. The vine tree knew, of course, that Caracara wasn't doing this to prove how shiny its head was, but to show that it needed a skull. So, for Caracara, what it needed was naturally its mother's skull.

"You want me to find your mother's skull as a substitute?" Teng Shu guessed the answer, and Karakara's excited appearance confirmed that Karakara was thinking the same thing. But this would be very troublesome. Under such circumstances, what should Teng Shu do to find Karakara's mother's skull?

Although Teng Shu has a system, it is clear that this system cannot help Teng Shu find Karakara's mother's skull.

"Well, you'll have to wait until I ask him." Teng Shu thought of something else. That Gara Gara might know something. With that in mind, Teng Shu decided to go back and ask Gara Gara. Gara Gara hesitated for a moment after hearing Teng Shu's words, but still chose to follow Teng Shu and go with him to take a look.

"You want to come with me?" Teng Shu raised an eyebrow. He had previously wanted to invite Karakara to come with him, but Karakara refused and even planned to attack Teng Shu with the big, thick bone in her hand. Now, the little guy didn't need Teng Shu to do anything; she just came running over on her own.

However, that's just how Pokémon are. They're the kind of creatures that you're initially wary of, but can develop a bond with as you get to know them and build trust.

So it's understandable that Caracalla is in this state right now. Tengshu simply took Caracalla back to the orphanage and looked around. Soon after, Tengshu saw the Marowak. The guy was playing with Mimikyu. When Tengshu saw Mimikyu, his expression became a little subtle. Since arriving at the orphanage, the little guy has been staying there.

However, Tengshu didn't say anything. After all, Mimikyu's situation was relatively stable for Tengshu. Moreover, this kind of Pokémon doesn't really need anything else, so as long as Tengshu doesn't interfere, Mimikyu can live well.

"GalaGala, have you seen its mother's skull?" Tengshu asked GalaGala, while Karakara looked ahead curiously. It couldn't see GalaGala, but judging from Tengshu's appearance, it didn't seem to be lying, which made Karakara more hopeful of Tengshu.

Upon hearing Tengshu's words, Gala Gala turned her head and saw Karakara. She immediately jumped over and hugged Karakara's skull. After a while, she realized that Tengshu had just asked her something.

Tengshu asked again, and Galagala fell into deep thought, seemingly pondering something. After a while, Galagala nodded; she had indeed seen Caracara's mother's skull.

Gala Gala held up a finger and drew a line in front of its eyes, which was a somewhat abstract sketch. The good news was that at least Teng Shu could understand it. He looked at it and roughly understood what Gala Gala meant, since the meaning of such a drawing was quite clear.

There were two skulls, one at the bottom and one at the top. Caracara took the one at the top, but actually, the one at the bottom was its mother's skull. Caracara just took the wrong one.

After all, Caracara never expected that the skull below was actually its mother's.

"Cuba says your mother's skull is under the skull you took by mistake." Teng Shu translated. There was nothing he could do; Cuba couldn't hear what Cuba was saying. After all, Cuba was only a Ground-type Pokémon, not a Ghost-type. And even if it were a Ghost-type, sometimes you wouldn't see this kind of special Ghost. So this was a matter of talent.

Cubone's pupils dilated in shock, seemingly never expecting that she had missed her mother's skull back then. Thinking of this, Cubone removed the skull and placed it on the ground, then walked away decisively. She didn't care at all about the suitable living environment and abundant food in the orphanage. Seeing this scene, Tengshu sighed. In the world of Pokémon, life and death are inevitable.

It has to be said that this is somewhat tragic, but there's nothing that can be done about it, and Teng Shu himself knows this.

"Alright, your skull is back." Teng Shu looked at Galakala. He hadn't expected things to end so quickly. Before, Teng Shu was still thinking about how to deal with Galakala's situation. After all, persuading Cara Cara was a troublesome matter. But unexpectedly, Cara Cara believed him. Since Cara Cara believed him, things would be easier to handle afterward. This was one of the reasons why Teng Shu was so relaxed.

"Gala!" Gara Gara cried out loudly, sounding very happy. Then, clutching her skull, it vanished in a flash of light, leaving only a skull on the ground. Gara Gara's skull left Teng Shu bewildered. "So, what do you mean by taking back the skull? Why didn't you just hold Cara Cara's head?"

Teng Shu was a little confused.

Chapter 626 Ice and Fire Six-Tailed Fox

"This guy... I have a feeling it's treating me like an idiot. But maybe it's holding onto Cara Cara's head and can't fulfill its obsession?" Some thoughts flashed through Teng Shu's mind, but he wasn't entirely sure. After all, he didn't know the details of Cara Cara's situation yet; he could only study it slowly. Looking at the skull in front of him, Teng Shu prepared to pick it up, and then...

How to deal with it?

this is a problem.

To be honest, Tengshu hadn't figured it out. After all, the skull left behind by Cubone and Marowak belonged to Marowak, and theoretically, only Cubone would need it, since they often wear such skulls to become more powerful Pokémon. However, the problem was that there wasn't a Cubone in Tengshu's orphanage that needed it. So, in general, this thing was useless to Tengshu right now.

However, as soon as he picked it up, Teng Shu saw a panel.

【The Crackled Skull】

[The skull of a deceased Galahad, after being lost for a long time, was found. Her soul was finally freed and successfully returned to the spirit world, leaving behind this gift.]

This item comes with a special effect: Motherly Love.

[Mother's Love: In the area affected by this item, all Pokémon will feel a sense of warmth, as if their mother is still by their side. (Note: This effect will not work for Pokémon whose mothers are still alive.)]

Upon seeing this notification, Teng Shu paused for a moment. He really hadn't expected there to be such a unique reward. It was quite interesting, but this thing looked a bit strange, and only Pokémon could sense it. However, it should be surprisingly effective for some Pokémon that cared a lot about their families.

"But this is quite interesting." Teng Shu yawned, then put the skull in his office. This thing would become a unique collectible for Teng Shu. But thinking of this, Teng Shu picked up his phone and took a look. There was still some time before the new movie was released. Teng Shu had some ideas, but he wasn't in a hurry. Feng Wang hadn't made an appointment with him yet.

Tengshu decided to take a stroll around the neighborhood. He planned to drive around, since having this radar-like ability had made things much easier for him. This would also help him find more abandoned Pokémon as quickly as possible. If there were any Pokémon like Altaria, he could provide treatment more quickly. Tengshu cared a lot about this.

Just as Teng Shu was about to drive off, a raven flew over, cawed a few times, and landed directly on Teng Shu's shoulder. Teng Shu looked at the raven, smiled, and then patted its head. The raven nuzzled Teng Shu's cheek.

"Little Black, I'm going out for a stroll, do you want to come too?" Teng Shu stroked Murkrow's feathers. This little guy still hasn't evolved. Teng Shu remembered that it required a stone called a Dark Stone, which Teng Shu naturally had, but Murkrow didn't seem to want to evolve. Teng Shu asked Murkrow for his opinion and found that Murkrow really didn't want to evolve, so Teng Shu gave up.

"Caw!" Dark Raven cawed and nodded seriously. Seeing this, Teng Shu didn't say anything. Since Dark Raven was going to come over, he would take it with him. With that in mind, Teng Shu took Dark Raven into the driver's seat, started his truck, and prepared to leave. However, just as he was about to go out, Teng Shu saw Qingfeng throwing away the trash.

"Qingfeng, how is the nursing home?" Tengshu asked Qingfeng as soon as he remembered something. Tengshu hadn't bothered Qingfeng and Mingyue much during this time, since he knew that Qingfeng and Mingyue were also very busy, so they naturally didn't have much time.

Moreover, although Teng Shu also paid attention to the nursing home, he focused most of his work on the welfare home. Therefore, Qingfeng and Mingyue handled the nursing home matters on their own most of the time. The advantage of this was that Teng Shu didn't have to work so hard, but the disadvantage was that Teng Shu didn't have much control over the place.

"!" Qingfeng gave a thumbs up, and Tengshu relaxed a lot when he saw this. He then smiled and led Dark Raven out. After leaving the orphanage, Tengshu drove while keeping an eye on his surroundings, wanting to see how effective his system was.

Whether it was luck or bad luck, after walking quite a distance, Teng Shu finally saw a blurry little light flickering in the distance. Intrigued, he drove his pickup truck towards it. Soon, he saw a vague outline, and as he got closer, the outline became increasingly familiar—its unique shape...

"Six-Tails?" Teng Shu was somewhat surprised. He could naturally tell that the Pokémon in front of him had the silhouette of a Six-Tails.

However, Tengshu was also somewhat surprised. Because Vulpix was cute, it became very elegant and beautiful after evolving into Ninetales, so Vulpix had its own popularity.

Furthermore, Vulpix and Ninetales are both very popular Pokémon for viewing, which means that even if they are not trained as Pokémon for battle, many people will choose to keep them as their companion Pokémon. In addition, the Fire type also gives Vulpix some very convenient abilities, such as when you need a fire source when you are out and about, Vulpix is ​​the best choice.

It is for these reasons that Vulpix is ​​a very unique type of Pokémon, at least in Tengshu's opinion. That's why Tengshu felt a little strange seeing a Vulpix abandoned.

As Tengshu approached, he also saw Liuwei's panel.

[Six-tailed]

Fire? Ice?

[High radiation, gene mutation, body on the verge of collapse]

Upon seeing this notification, Teng Shu paused for a moment, then accelerated. Soon, he arrived near the Six-Tails, which was hiding under a tree hole. Because of this, even though the creature was hiding by the roadside, no one noticed the poor little guy.

"Little Black, wait for me here." Teng Shu quickly walked down and gave him a word of instruction. Then he came to where Six-Tails was. The area was covered by weeds, but Teng Shu could still hear Six-Tails' painful groans.

Tengshu parted the bushes, and as soon as he did, he paused. What came into view was a rather peculiar Pokémon. It was a Vulpix, Tengshu was certain of it, but the creature's body color was very strange. One side was a normal color, while the other was ice blue, looking very odd. Tengshu was stunned by this sight. This was...

Thinking about the words "ice and fire" displayed on the system panel, Teng Shu couldn't understand them at first, but now he does. This means that Vulpix's type is currently changing between ice and fire, which is very abnormal. After all, although there is an Ice Vulpix, it is a regional type Pokémon. Although such regional type Pokémon have actually increased since human interaction became more frequent.

But overall, it is also relatively unique.

Moreover, even if it really is the Ice Vulpix, then logically, it wouldn't display such a unique state. So this is one of the reasons why Tengshu finds it hard to understand. Tengshu looked at the Vulpix in front of him with a hint of astonishment in his eyes, but he still came to the Ice Vulpix's side and picked it up. After picking it up, Tengshu found that his own phone was also malfunctioning, and a very strange feeling surrounded him.

"Strong radiation?" Teng Shu thought of something, and his lips twitched. If it was really as he thought, then the Six-Tails was in great danger. Thinking of this, Teng Shu picked up the Six-Tails and crawled out. He needed to talk to Murkrow first.

"Little Black, you fly back by yourself first." Teng Shu said to Dark Raven. Something was very wrong with Six-Tails. Teng Shu suspected that there was a strong radiation source on Six-Tails, or rather, Six-Tails itself was a radiation source. Radiation! This thing is not a simple thing. It is very dangerous and can easily cause accidents. Teng Shu is immune to this attack because of the system, but others are not.

Murkrow cried out and flew back. Tengshu took out a Poké Ball and tried to put it back, but it couldn't. Vulpix was being tortured, but it strongly resisted the Poké Ball, and even resisted Tengshu himself.

"Alright, don't be afraid, I'm here to save you. Your condition is very bad." Teng Shu was somewhat helpless and could only put it aside. At the same time, he picked up his phone and sent a message to Jun Shaguang. He needed to notify Jun Shaguang to send someone over to deal with it.

The good news was that the text message was sent; the bad news was that after sending it, Teng Shu's phone overheated and then went black. Teng Shu's lips twitched, and he could only rush towards the orphanage with Liuwei at top speed. On the way, Teng Shu drove very fast and kept honking his horn to urge others to give way. Most of the other cars knew there was a situation, so they all moved aside. However, a very unique-looking car blocked Teng Shu's path and forcibly stopped him. Teng Shu's pupils shrank. He wanted to pick up Liuwei, but the problem was, he had nowhere else to put Liuwei.

This caused Tengshu some distress; this kind of thing was really too troublesome.

"What the hell kind of car are you driving?!" Before Teng Shu could hide the six-tailed beast, a burly man came over. He was bald and covered in tattoos, which reminded Teng Shu of a certain Kunshan Dragon Brother.

"How much DNA do you have on you? How dare you get so close to me?" The thought flashed through Teng Shu's mind. Is this guy an idiot? So close?

"Sir, I have an emergency. There's a strong radiation source next to me. If you don't leave, you might have to go to the hospital." Teng Shu's attitude was fairly sincere. After all, he had indeed been driving recklessly and honking his horn all the way. Such a situation was indeed easy to be misunderstood, and Teng Shu himself could understand it.

So Tengshu patiently explained.

"What? A strong radiation source? It's just a six-tailed fox, isn't it? Your six-tailed fox is quite interesting..." The man also saw the six-tailed fox, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes, and then he reached out to touch it.

"I told you, get out of here!" Teng Shu couldn't hold back any longer. He opened the door and pushed the man aside, then hurriedly tried to start the car. But the other man blocked his way and yelled that he would have to run him over if he tried to get past him.

The vine tree can only satisfy...

It fulfills the dreams of every reckless fool.

Teng Shu sneered, then got out of the car. He cracked his neck, and the other person pounced on him menacingly. Teng Shu quickly took him down in a few moves, gave him a stern warning, and then prepared to go back to his car.

"I'm not kidding you. You were sitting so close. Go to the hospital for a checkup right now!" Teng Shu said to the bald man as he drove. The man cursed and swore, but didn't dare to say anything. He could only watch silently as Teng Shu drove off.

Meanwhile, Tengshu brought Liuwei to his orphanage. The man from earlier was truly exceptional, but these days the world is a big place, and there are all sorts of people, so Tengshu is used to it. There are always some people who are mentally challenged and don't understand anything.

Upon arriving at the orphanage, Teng Shu hurriedly carried Liuwei to the infirmary. As soon as he entered, he saw Locke. Teng Shu rushed to the side of the medical pod, put Liuwei inside, closed the door, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Teng Shushun glanced at the medical pod.

[High radiation caused genetic damage; currently stabilizing, treatment time cannot be determined at this time.]
