—------------------—
The weather today was excellent, especially at the Breeding House.
The sun was shining, everything was lush and green, a gentle breeze blew, and the air was filled with the scent of flowers.
Munchlax sat on the grass, basking in the sunlight with a look of contentment, surrounded by a bunch of Pokémon from the Breeding House.
After Munchlax arrived at the Breeding House, Mrs. Fujino gave it a bath in the backyard in front of everyone. Within half a day, it had already gotten along well with the other Pokémon at the Breeding House.
"Ka——"
"This is——so happy——"
Munchlax smiled until its eyes narrowed into slits.
Some were happy, while others were worried.
Lucas looked at Munchlax, who was sitting by the Lake, eating to its heart's content, and suddenly felt very tired.
Beside it, Dash, Machoke, Vex, and Rhyperior were also eating together; they were like a swarm of locusts, devouring everything in sight.
Especially that little purple fatty.
It was becoming increasingly insatiable. It used to force itself to finish food it didn't like to avoid waste, but now that Munchlax was here, it would pass all the food it didn't like to Munchlax. Munchlax would smile and say thank you, then eat it all up.
Lucas's pot was almost smoking from all the cooking.
"Gen gengar"
"Hurry up and serve the food."
"I'm telling you, Gengar, you only take a bite of everything, and you have the nerve to ask me to cook for you?"
Lucas gritted his teeth.
Gengar chuckled.
Seeing that Munchlax was there, it ordered everything it liked, took a bite, and then passed it to Munchlax to help finish it off.
Meowstic (the younger sister) was helping Lucas. Just as she was about to wash the vegetables, she realized they were all out.
"Meow~"
"I'll go to the vegetable garden to pick some~"
She ran off to the vegetable garden.
"Ka——"
"Hiccup——"
Munchlax kept hiccuping.
Seeing Gengar continuing to hand over food, Munchlax hurriedly reached out to refuse.
"Ka——"
"Can't eat anymore——hiccup——"
"Gen gengar——"
"That won't do, little one. You still need to train your appetite——"
Munchlax was stuffed to the throat; it was the first time it had eaten so much.
Seeing that it couldn't eat anymore, Gengar regretfully poured the food into its own mouth.
"Gen gengar~"
"So delicious~"
Munchlax looked at Gengar and Dash and the others still eating, its eyes full of admiration.
"Senior Gengar is right; I still need to train——"
It decided to eat even more tomorrow.
Lucas, having a rough idea of Munchlax's appetite, finally felt much better.
"Is there something wrong with Munchlax's health?"
Mrs. Fujino stood on the side, looking at the full Munchlax, and asked with concern.
"Indeed, it doesn't seem to have a very good appetite."
Mr. Fujino stroked his beard, which he had been growing for a while, and nodded in agreement after hearing his wife's words.
Come to think of it, that seemed to be the case.
"It looks like its appetite is about one-fourth of Dash's, one-third of Machoke's and Vex's, and one-half of Gengar's. It belongs to the group of Pokémon that sits at the same table as Rhyperior."
Lucas said.
At first, Jenny and Joy had said that this Munchlax's appetite was far greater than other Munchlax, which had startled Lucas. He thought it was huge, but it turned out it was just in the same league as Rhyperior.
That was a relief; he could afford to raise it.
He could even afford to raise two more.
Lucas was now extremely confident.
Seeing that they were all finished eating, Lucas put away his spatula. Shauna had just returned from school at this time. She and Tomoyo had only spent a short time becoming good friends with Munchlax, and they were currently playing and fooling around in the backyard, surrounded by a group of Shinx, Pachirisu, and Bidoof.
Lucas had made them a sturdy scooter, tied it tightly with ropes, let Shauna and Tomoyo sit on it, and then ran quickly, pulling them to run wantonly around the Breeding House.
After running for a while, Lucas stopped, panting heavily.
"You guys play; I'm going to work."
Lucas pinched Shauna and Tomoyo's little cheeks and said with a smile.
The weather today was excellent, perfect for expanding the planting area, repairing some fences damaged by heavy snow in winter, and checking the backyard for safety hazards, and seeing if the rocky area needed repairs——
In the past, there weren't many Pokémon, so he had hired a moving company, but now it was different.
Lucas looked at the backyard of the Breeding House, which was crowded with Pokémon, and the corners of his mouth curled up.
Now, nothing was missing.
Lucas called Gengar, Dash, and the others sitting by the Lake to come and help.
Lucas gestured to the planting area that needed expansion while Gengar recorded it. Even Gothitelle from the Cottage came back to help.
Gothitelle and Dash and the others were dismantling the greenhouse. Gothitelle used its psychic power to take them down, while Dash, Machoke, Vex, and Rhyperior moved the dismantled greenhouse into the warehouse, where it could be used again in winter.
After Lucas had planned everything out, Dash and the others picked up hoes and started working officially. The efficiency was so fast that it shocked Lucas.
Lucas leaned on his hoe, wearing a straw hat, with the sun shining on him, feeling quite comfortable.
"It's actually quite nice to do some manual labor like this occasionally."
Lucas said, leaning on his hoe.
He looked at the land he had cultivated, feeling a great sense of accomplishment. He glanced at what Dash and the others had cultivated.
Comparing oneself to others is a bad habit.
Lucas comforted himself.
"Ma Machamp."
"We're done. Do you need help here?"
Dash carried his hoe, walked to Lucas's side, and asked.
Lucas quickly stepped aside, "Thank you for your hard work."
Dash gave a thumbs up, then swung his hoe and started working.
Lucas took this opportunity to walk to the side. He looked around. There was still a lot of uncultivated land in the planting area because last year he had planned to cultivate a little bit first to use, and due to a severe shortage of manpower, a lot of land remained uncultivated.
Gothitelle floated over and handed Lucas a cup of freshly brewed hot tea. Lucas said thank you and started drinking it.
It's good to have Mother Gothitelle around~
Lucas found a relatively open space in the planting area. It was rarely managed, so it looked a bit overgrown with weeds, though some Spinarak seemed to like it here.
Lucas clapped his hands, asked them to clear the place, then looked at Gothitelle and Gengar, gestured, and asked, "What do you think about cultivating this area and trying to plant tea leaves?"
Gengar floated into the air, took the rotom phone, and took a picture of the area Lucas had just gestured to, then handed it to Lucas. Lucas looked at the picture taken by the rotom phone and felt it was alright.
The little red plane had gone out to sea to play again and was almost invisible now. If it weren't for the wooden plaque on its chest that let him feel it wasn't too far away, Lucas would have thought it had gone to Alto Mare with its brother.
Gothitelle also floated up to take a look and thought it was worth a try.
After Gothitelle and Gengar agreed, Lucas called Lilligant over.
Lilligant dodged the scooter pulled by Rhyperior and came to Lucas's side.
"Lilli?"
"What's the matter?"
Lucas told Lilligant about his idea.
Lilligant nodded with a smile, "Lilli."
"No problem."
"Then I'll have to trouble you again, just like when we first started planting vegetables."
Hearing Lucas's words, Lilligant remembered when she was still a Petilil, when she would perform Synthesis in the planting area every day to sense the Grass-type energy——
Lilligant slightly lifted her dress, "Lilli~"
"Leave it to me~"
After simply tidying up the place for planting tea leaves, Lucas stretched. Dash, Machoke, Vex, and Rhyperior were repairing the fence. For the fences that were corroded or crushed by snow, Dash pulled them out directly, then Machoke and Vex placed the new fences, and finally, Rhyperior hammered them into the mud with one punch.
Simple and brutal, but effective.
Actually, given the current combat power of the Breeding House, the existence of these fences was irrelevant, but for the sake of aesthetics or to prevent other problems, Lucas still decided to fix them.
The sun slowly set, casting long shadows and enveloping the entire Breeding House.
At sunset, Lucas, Mr. and Mrs. Fujino, Gengar, and the others were all handling the affairs in the backyard of the Breeding House, preparing for the upcoming sowing.
Not far away, a Rapidash was pulling a scooter. On the scooter sat two little girls, along with some cute Pokémon: Chimecho, Zorua, Meowstic, Mime Jr., Alcremie, and Munchlax——
Rapidash pulled the scooter and ran wantonly on the grass in the backyard of the Breeding House.
The laughter on the scooter occupied every corner of the backyard of the Breeding House as Rapidash ran.
Listening to the bursts of happy laughter, the movements of the people and Pokémon working also quickened a bit.
In Sandgem Town, north of the Breeding House, in a gloomy forest.
A Jenny was leading her colleagues running through the forest.
Just a moment ago, Jenny of Sandgem Town received news that a group of Pokémon Hunters specializing in capturing and trafficking Pokémon had appeared in this forest.
Therefore, Jenny of Sandgem Town immediately gathered her colleagues to come and capture them.
As they got closer to the interior of the forest, there were more and more interfering Pokémon on the road.
With her powerful strength and tacit cooperation, Jenny of Sandgem Town defeated all the Crobat and Golbat that were interfering on the road and continued to advance.
"Boss, they're here."
A member wearing the clothes of the Pokémon Hunter organization shouted to their leader.
The leader of the Pokémon Hunters looked at the Pokémon locked in cages in front of him, as well as some rare pokémon eggs, and waved his hand indifferently, "Are they all in ambush?"
The subordinate nodded and hummed.
"Just hold them off until I transport this batch of Pokémon out. Besides, Jenny's Arcanine seems to be able to sell for a good price."
The leader of these Pokémon Hunters was calculating in his heart.
Seeing that the leader was focusing on Jenny's Arcanine, the subordinate wanted to persuade him, but after thinking about it, he backed down.
Jenny Family's Arcanine, even if you caught it, you couldn't sell it.
After all, the Jenny Family and the Joy Family had too much influence in the world.
The subordinate shook his head and exited the Cave.
"Strange, why do I feel like there are more Seviper around here these past two days?"
The subordinate looked at the Seviper active nearby and couldn't help saying.
Boom!
Jenny of Sandgem Town led her Arcanine and rushed to the front of the Cave, looking at the last few Pokémon Hunters who still had consciousness, and shouted, "Give up, you are surrounded, surrender obediently."
At this time, the leader of the Pokémon Hunters walked out, "Surrender? It's not certain who will surrender. Jenny of Sandgem Town, I'll take your Arcanine."
As soon as the leader finished speaking, the ambushed Pokémon Hunters all emerged and surrounded Jenny and the others.
"Daring to rush over like this without considering the disparity in numbers between the two sides? It's a pity, Jenny."
Jenny of Sandgem Town was not panicked at all. She looked at the leader of the Pokémon Hunters in front of her and asked: "Are you their leader?"
"Exactly."
The leader opened his arms, "Any more questions? If not, I'll take your Arcanine away. Hahahaha——Ugh——"
The leader of the Pokémon Hunters was laughing wildly when he suddenly felt a pain in his butt. He turned his head and saw a Seviper, with a scar on its eye that extended to its abdomen, looking particularly terrifying.
Seviper retracted its tail, which was glowing with purple light, and looked speechless at the extremely arrogant human in front of it.
I've long been annoyed with you; you're asking for a beating.
"You——"
Before the leader could finish speaking, his whole body turned purple, and then he fell down.
"Hiss."
"A person like you wouldn't survive two days at the Breeding House."
The Seviper leader commented unceremoniously.
"Are you so sure we don't have backup?"
Jenny of Sandgem Town shook her head and said, then walked to the leader of the Pokémon Hunters and took out handcuffs to cuff him.
The other Pokémon Hunters were about to resist, but in the next second, they were all poisoned with Toxic by the surrounding Seviper, and then one by one they fell down, losing consciousness.
"The way you guys attack——is really——"
Jenny of Sandgem Town looked at the Pokémon Hunters who were all poisoned and couldn't help but say.
The Seviper leader looked at her suspiciously.
Is there a problem?
It remembered that a certain Gengar at the Breeding House once told it that when facing an enemy, if you have poison, use poison; if not, paralysis, burn, and freeze are all fine. It's best to add a Hypnosis; using them all together is best.
Living in the wild, this mantra is quite useful.
Especially for fighting crime, one tail strike, simple, easy, and saves trouble.
Jenny of Sandgem Town smiled and shook her head, "No problem, just drag them back and let Joy treat them. Let's go, let's go in and see what's inside."
After speaking, Jenny of Sandgem Town, her Arcanine, and the Seviper leader walked in.
The Seviper leader arrived in front of Jenny for the first time, stared at a corner, and made a hissing sound.
Jenny also became vigilant.
Under the threat of the Seviper leader, a subordinate of the Pokémon Hunter organization walked out. It happened to be the subordinate from just now. When he saw the situation was wrong, he hid in the Cave at the first time.
The Seviper leader deftly poisoned him with Toxic.
The second before he fell and lost consciousness, he couldn't help but shout.
"You use poison——who exactly is the——villain——"
How could Jenny use Seviper to poison others——
Jenny ignored his words. There was no help for it; Pokémon like Seviper, which usually hate humans, once you cooperate with them, you will find that everyone who uses them says they are good.
Especially when catching criminals, it is simply dangerously easy.
The only drawback might be that it consumes a lot of the criminals' HP.
Jenny of Sandgem Town looked at the Pokémon in the cages and the few pokémon eggs around, a smile on her face, and released them.
"It's okay, don't be afraid, I'm here to take you home."
She greeted her subordinates to bring this group of Pokémon and the Pokémon Hunters back to Sandgem Town, while she picked up the few pokémon eggs and hurried toward Professor Rowan's Research Institute.
Lucas helped her facilitate the cooperation with Seviper and the others. Giving him these few pokémon eggs as a token of gratitude shouldn't be too much, right?
However, he had to talk to Professor Rowan first. If he agreed, it would be fine; otherwise, it would be a bit difficult to handle from above.
