This thing is clearly the 'masterpiece' of Pokémon hunters. After all, no one but these people would just throw something like this here for no reason. It's illegal, and the League deals with this very strictly, even to a certain extent.
Aside from hunters who risk their lives, no one would normally do such a thing.
The pangolin was initially wary of the vine, but quickly became friendly. It sensed the vine's aura, the aura of the forest, and the pangolin's voice changed from a sharp warning to a somewhat aggrieved whimper.
"Alright, don't move, I'll take it down for you." Teng Shu looked at the Pokémon trap in front of him. This thing was similar to the bear trap in his previous life, but it was bigger, gripped deeper, and was more vicious.
Some even add toxic powder or paralyzing powder to it; they're a disgusting bunch.
After all, this time they weren't catching wild beasts that could only struggle and had no other options, but rather Pokémon with special powers.
So the Pokémon Trap directly clamped onto Sandshrew's bones, and it clamped them so tightly that it felt like the bones were about to break. Rapidash was naturally helpless against it, since if it were melted by flames, Sandshrew would turn into roasted meat.
However, it was much easier for a human like Tengshu. So Tengshu used the stones and branches to take out the Pokémon trap, and Sandshrew also cried out, trying to pull out its leg, but could only lie helplessly on the ground howling.
A piercing scream shattered the stillness of the night. Tengshu comforted the pangolin, then stretched out his hand, and the power of the Everlasting Rock gathered in his palm, transforming into healing power.
However, the power of the Everlasting Stone is not a healing spell. It cannot stabilize the Sandshrew's condition, but it can stop the bleeding and make the wound less gruesome.
The pangolin cried out, its voice tinged with pain.
"The pangolin needs further treatment." Teng Shu picked up the pangolin. He could only stop the bleeding, not treat it. The pangolin needed some other help.
The Blazing Horse nodded, and Tengshu climbed onto its back with the Sandshrew in his arms. The Blazing Horse then turned around and started running towards Evergreen City.
However, Tengshu told Rapidash to run towards the orphanage. Rapidash was a little confused, but it still obeyed. Soon, Tengshu brought Sandshrew to the orphanage. Then Tengshu went inside and carried Sandshrew into the medical pod.
Looking at the information displayed on the medical pod, Teng Shu breathed a sigh of relief. It was curable and wouldn't leave any disabilities, which was a good thing.
"Alright, you're fine now." Teng Shu smiled and patted the pangolin's head before pressing the button to start treatment. Reassured, the pangolin immediately fell into a deep sleep.
Teng Shu then went to the kitchen.
Tengshu changes the brine pot in the kitchen every day, so the brine has been preserved. Tengshu had previously put some braised meat and vegetables, including tofu, into it, and now it's ready to be taken out for the Flame Horse.
"Luckily I didn't have a brain fart earlier..." Teng Shu thought to himself as he scooped up some braised tofu. He had almost asked Rapidash to take him to the Pokémon Center in Viridian City. After all, taking sick people to the hospital was a habit of his.
If Teng Shu hadn't just remembered that the orphanage had a medical pod, he probably would have sent it there already, and even if he had, the Flame Horse wouldn't have been able to get into the city.
The Pokémon League has some rules regarding riding Pokémon. Some Pokémon are not allowed to be ridden, and they cannot even be released in cities, because these Pokémon are very powerful and can easily cause damage to roads and buildings.
Because the Flaming Horse is prone to causing fires, it is not allowed to be ridden outside.
"Flaming Horse." Teng Shu went out and found the Flaming Horse. The Flaming Horse twitched its nose and its eyes lit up instantly. It rushed over impatiently. Teng Shu smiled and made some braised tofu for the Flaming Horse. The Flaming Horse finished it in a few bites, snorted at Teng Shu, and then left the orphanage in a good mood.
Chapter 272 He's... a god!
"Another morning..." The next day, Tengshu yawned and climbed out of bed. Standing in front of the window and looking at the white fog outside, Tengshu couldn't help but shiver. The weather was terrible, and there was fog too.
However, Tengshu was in a pretty good mood.
The pangolin from yesterday should have finished its treatment by now. Although the pangolin's condition seemed quite serious at the time, with the support of the Everlasting Power of the Vine Tree and the help of the medical pod, the pangolin's condition has stabilized. After a while, we can release the pangolin back into the wild.
While the League generally does not recommend excessive interference with wild Pokémon, since human intervention may have some impact on the wild ecosystem.
However, cases like pangolins injured by poachers' traps are not included in this category. Such cases can be intervened, which is why Tengshu immediately brought them back.
After changing his clothes, Teng Shu pushed open the door and immediately saw Xin Ye Miao, who was lying on the desk staring at him with a very resentful look in her eyes.
"Hey, good morning, Xinye Miao. Why are you up so early today?" Teng Shu looked at Xinye Miao with a smile in his eyes. Xinye Miao wagged its tail and seemed a little impatient.
When Tengshu came back to sleep last night, he turned off Xinye Miao's computer. Although Xinye Miao is very smart, it's a bit of a stretch to expect a Pokémon to turn on the computer, open the browser, and search for videos.
So under these circumstances, Shin-Ye-Nyan could only go back to sleep. However, Teng-Shu did not expect Shin-Ye-Nyan to be so persistent and to come here to wait so early.
"Your package hasn't arrived yet," Teng Shu said to Xin Ye Miao as he turned on his phone, and Xin Ye Miao wagged its tail.
"Master Meow, why don't you meow a couple of times?" Teng Shu teased Xin Ye Miao. Xin Ye Miao turned its head away haughtily, then gave Teng Shu a disdainful look out of the corner of its eye. Teng Shu's lips twitched. This feline Pokémon was still so uncooperative. But he guessed it was just Xin Ye Miao's personality. He had seen some cute feline Pokémon on the internet before. They were affectionate and obedient, and they would even help buy groceries. Some even helped their trainers buy cigarettes, which was really outrageous.
For some inexplicable reason, Teng Shu thought of a video he had seen before his previous life when he transmigrated. A cat was meowing "Old Wu, Old Wu," and when the video was played for other cats, their reactions were quite interesting. Teng Shu suddenly became very curious whether feline Pokémon like Meowth would also be interested in this kind of meow in the world of Pokémon.
So Tengshu opened his mouth and yelled "Old Wu!" twice. Immediately, Xinye Miao's emotions changed to shock and disbelief. Its little expression was also very interesting. Its eyes were wide open, looking like it had been frightened. Tengshu wanted to laugh at Xinye Miao's funny appearance.
"Hey? Tengshu, are you calling Lao Wu?" At this moment, Saki also squeezed in. Tengshu looked at Saki, feeling a little embarrassed, which was unusual. After all, it was fine to tease Shin-chan, but it would still be a little awkward if others saw it.
"Cough cough, you misheard." Teng Shu quickly waved his hand in denial. What a joke, do you think I'm that kind of person? Don't slander me.
Fortunately, Saki didn't think too much about it and nodded in agreement with Tengshu's statement. Then, Saki curiously circled around Shin-chan, while Shin-chan looked at Tengshu in confusion, wondering who this human was talking to.
Tengshu coughed, played a collection of magic videos for Xinye Miao, and then went out. Saki didn't follow; her attention was drawn to the videos. Looking at Saki, Tengshu realized that although Saki was dead, she was still a girl and quite young, so she should still be interested in TV dramas, movies, and magic.
"Looks like I'll have to get a tablet so Saki can play videos, otherwise this guy will be nagging me all the time." Teng Shu planned to buy one later. Tablets aren't expensive these days, and he thought it was a good deal to exchange a little money for peace of mind.
Teng Shu went to the infirmary and saw that the medical pod had stopped working. The pangolin inside was asleep, and the terrible wound from before had been completely healed. However, the new flesh at the wound site still looked a bit more tender than the rest of the wound.
Anyone who gets injured often knows that newly grown flesh often looks much tender, but it will return to its normal color after a while, so the vine tree has nothing to worry about.
"A pangolin?" Teng Shu opened the medical pod and patted the pangolin's head.
"Eek?" The pangolin opened its eyes, its gaze somewhat dazed. Upon seeing the vine tree, it became more alert, its eyes shifting from wariness to affection. It even stuck out its tongue and licked the vine tree's hand.
"Alright, your injury is fine now. Be careful next time." Teng Shu chuckled and patted the pangolin's head, then casually handed it a tree fruit.
Since the pangolin had been injured, it still needed to eat some tree fruit to replenish its nutrition.
The pangolin seemed to know what was about to happen. It looked at the vine tree with some reluctance, and even tried to act cute. The corner of the vine tree's mouth twitched.
Anyone who can resist the cuteness of Pokémon and not catch them is a genius.
Unfortunately, the vine is such a remarkable creature.
"Alright, little guy, this is an orphanage." Teng Shu was both amused and exasperated.
His place isn't really suitable for taking in too many Pokémon, and if he opens this door, what if other wild Pokémon come knocking on his door? Should he take them in or not? So Tengshu felt it was best not to start this trend.
Although the pangolin was a little reluctant, Tengshu still sent it away, patting the little creature's head as it did so. The pangolin left, looking back every few steps, a scene that made Tengshu feel a little sad.
"If you want to come in the future, you can climb over the wall yourself, just remember not to dig a hole," Teng Shu called out. Although he doesn't take in Pokémon here, he won't stop wild Pokémon from coming in on their own. Besides, the welfare home has expanded quite a bit now, enough to accommodate more Pokémon.
Today, the basic upgrade of the welfare home was completed. In Teng Shu's opinion, the biggest difference was that the facilities were better, brighter, and larger. The library was even three times larger, which meant that Teng Shu needed to buy more books to put here.
However, because there are so many Pokémon, Tengshu can only buy books with Pokémon text.
Chapter 273 The new account is like this
After seeing the pangolin off, Teng Shu also took the opportunity to patrol the welfare home that morning.
The orphanage remained quiet, with a touch of desolation. Because it wasn't in the city center or a martial arts gym, there were no vendors setting up stalls outside.
Teng Shu had been to the Evergreen City Dojo before. There were people setting up stalls there early in the morning, and quite a few of them. They sold food and drinks, guides to the Evergreen City Dojo, and even small stools. There were all sorts of people there; it almost turned into a market.
However, there's nothing that can be done about it. The dojo is a place that attracts people almost every day. Some go there to challenge the dojo, while others go to watch others challenge the dojo. Even if there are occasional times when no one is challenging the dojo, the apprentice battles inside the dojo are still a worthwhile spectacle.
Some people even took this opportunity to start gambling, but gambling is illegal, so the league cracked down on them. Teng Shu only found out that these people could start gambling on these matches when he watched Legal Online. It just goes to show that talent can be found everywhere.
"There weren't any abandoned people today..." Teng Shu walked around the orphanage, feeling much more relaxed.
Previously, I was worried that the cold weather, the economic downturn, and the new generation of trainers embarking on their journeys might lead to an abandonment wave, but unexpectedly, the abandonment wave did not occur this time, which made Tengshu's work much easier.
"Hmm? That's..." Teng Shu's gaze fell into the forest, and then he saw a pale woman stagger out of it, her eyes lifeless as she walked towards the cemetery of the orphanage.
"Another undead attracted here..." Tengshu squinted. But it was alright. As long as it wasn't an undead like Saki, it wouldn't be a big problem for Tengshu. After all, an undead like Saki meant that Tengshu would have to find a way to get rid of it, while the Death Beacon could handle this kind of undead.
Without paying much attention to the spirit, Teng Shu returned to the orphanage and began preparing breakfast.
Because of Munchlax, Tengshu now has to make a lot more breakfast every day, since Munchlax eats a lot. However, this time there is special Munchlax food, so Tengshu doesn't need to prepare a particularly large bowl.
"Meow~" A sweet meow rang out, and Teng Shu knew who it was without even looking down.
"Xiao Dong, what are you doing... ah? You caught another Rattata?" Teng Shu smiled and was about to look at Dong Shi Miao, but when he looked down, he saw that Dong Shi Miao was holding two little Rattatas under her paws, while Dong Shi Miao was sitting there licking her paws.
Teng Shu was both amused and exasperated.
Although Rattata and Rattata are both Pokémon, they are no different from ordinary mice in front of Meowth. Moreover, some Rattata Pokémon do like to steal human food, so places where food is stored often have special rodent-proof measures. However, because Rattata and Rattata are Pokémon, even if the defenses are good, they can still be dug out or chewed into a hole.
In such a situation, some feline Pokémon are needed to protect food security.
"Don't steal food from the warehouse next time, understand?" Tengshu said irritably. The little Rattata nodded frantically, but Tengshu knew that these little Rattatas were always old-fashioned and hard to change. Don't think that all Pokémon are kind; there are actually quite a few little rascals among them.
"Throw them out," Teng Shu said to Dong Shi Miao. Dong Shi Miao then picked up the two little Rattatas and went out. Teng Shu shook his head and went back to the kitchen to prepare his breakfast.
While waiting for breakfast, Teng Shu took his breakfast and sat down next to Locke. This was his designated spot, but ever since Locke arrived, Locke had liked to sit next to him while eating. At first, Teng Shu wasn't used to it, but later he didn't mind. Anyway, it was no different from when his roommate sat next to him while he was in school.
"Dean." Locke looked at Teng Shu with a solemn expression. Teng Shu glanced at Locke beside him. What's wrong with this guy now?
Yesterday you were all smiles, saying, "Having a daughter is so sweet and comforting." How come you look like you're about to die today?
Moreover, Locke had dark circles under his eyes, looking like he had been staying up too late.
"What's wrong?" Teng Shu looked at Locke with some confusion. Could it be that he had a fight with his wife?
"Why do you think children are so energetic?" Locke looked at Teng Shu with a puzzled expression. Teng Shu rolled his eyes. Was that all there was to it?
However, seeing that Luo Xin was not very calm even when eating, Teng Shu felt that Locke's resentment was understandable. After all, people who are sleep-deprived usually have a bad temper. Being able to suppress and control one's emotions is already a pretty good level of emotional control.
"Were you energetic when you were a child?" Teng Shu said irritably. Locke nodded after hearing this. When he was in kindergarten, he couldn't fall asleep every day when the teacher asked him to take a nap. He would run around the school during the lunch break. But when he got to college, he didn't have that kind of energy anymore and wanted to fall asleep as soon as his head hit the pillow.
As anyone who has played games knows, new characters in a game usually receive ample upgrade rewards to ensure that their fatigue or stamina is not depleted in a short period of time, making it easier for these new accounts to integrate into the game more quickly and make a lot of money.
Unfortunately, Locke's daughter is currently in a state of abundant energy, unlike the older characters who have a limited daily energy level and need to sleep to replenish it.
Locke yawned, pulled a book from his pocket, and placed it on the table.
Teng Shu glanced at it; it read "[Ego, Id, True Self]". Hmm, very good, very psychological.
"The three little girls didn't come today?" Locke asked curiously while eating. His daughter was still being looked after by his wife, which was a kind of break for this old father. Locke felt that his attitude towards his daughter was about to degenerate from "precious treasure" to "family nuisance".
Distance truly makes the heart grow fonder.
“They didn’t come, but they said their parents might come back soon and visit me then.” Teng Shu ate a mouthful of noodles, remembering that Xiao Hong had indeed said that before.
However, Teng Shu was also very interested in the three sisters' parents, after all, the three sisters came from a wealthy family, and their parents were very...
It's pretty outrageous.
The three sisters are not very old, but their parents are often away from home, frequently traveling for work, which is quite outrageous.
Chapter 274 The New Leaf Cat Magic Props Shop Opens!
Teng Shu was sitting in his office, unpacking a package, while Xin Ye Miao wagged her tail expectantly beside him.
"Alright, alright, I know you're excited, but don't get excited yet." Teng Shu patted Xin Ye Miao's head in an annoyed tone. Xin Ye Miao skillfully lowered her head, dodging Teng Shu's wicked hand.
Teng Shu was somewhat helpless. The things Xin Ye Miao had ordered online had arrived, and he was currently helping Xin Ye Miao unpack them.
"Xin Ye Miao, you've bought quite a lot of packages without realizing it?" Teng Shu looked at the packages in front of him, then couldn't help but glance at Xin Ye Miao, who was crawling through the cardboard boxes, and his lips twitched.
Tengshu knew that Xinye Miao was buying these magic props, and Tengshu agreed to it all. After all, these magic props weren't particularly expensive, and Tengshu could afford them. So Tengshu bought them all. But he didn't expect that little by little, the packages of these magic props would soon flood the office.
New Leaf Cat poked its head out of the cardboard box, looking curiously at Tengshu, before crawling back inside. Tengshu was somewhat helpless; New Leaf Cat really loved crawling in and out of this box. It could only be said that although it was New Leaf Cat, it was still a feline after all, and it was hard for it to resist cardboard boxes.
Saki, who was sitting next to him, was watching a TV series with her chin resting on her hands. She was very focused and serious. Fujiki breathed a sigh of relief. After all, Saki had started watching TV, so Fujiki was free. Otherwise, Saki was a very talkative girl.
As for the tablet computer needed to keep Saki in check, Fujiki felt it wasn't a problem. As long as Saki could focus on watching TV, that would be enough.
"Let me see, magic playing cards, magic bones, magic hat... Goodness, these props could open a magic shop." Teng Shu spent most of the day organizing these things before he finally finished.
"Xin Ye Miao, come here. You've finished preparing these things. Keep them safe." Teng Shu instructed Xin Ye Miao, then carried the cardboard boxes out. There were too many boxes, and Teng Shu had to take them out and put them away properly. Selling these boxes later would also be a good option.
While moving things, the abandoned monkey also came over to help, so the vine tree quickly finished moving everything.
“So next…” Teng Shu wiped the sweat from his forehead, and then his phone rang. Teng Shu took out his phone with some confusion and glanced at it. It was a message from the Alliance.
"An adopter came this afternoon? This afternoon? So early?" Teng Shu looked at the message on his phone. Although seeing this message wasn't strange, the fact that an adopter came this afternoon made Teng Shu feel a bit strange. After all, even when there were adopters before, they would usually send a message a day in advance.
Teng Shu returned to his office, turned on his computer, and received a message. It seemed that there was indeed an adopter this time, but compared to before, this adopter had arrived a little earlier.
[Adopter: Ida]
【Gender: Female】
【Age: 23】
[Occupation: White-collar worker in Changqing City, stable job]
[Assessment: Meets application requirements, kind-hearted]
[Adoption Target: Munchlax]
It was a very simple document, but that was because of the nature of the other party's job. After all, an ordinary white-collar worker doesn't have much to write. What surprised Teng Shu was that the other party wanted to adopt a Munchlax.
He was worried that no one would adopt the little Munchlax and he would be stuck with it, but he never expected that it would be adopted.
