I run an orphanage in the Pokémon world.

Page 127

Diglett is a very peculiar Pokémon. What is the structure of their bodies when they hide underground? This was a question that puzzled Tengshu for a while, but now the problem is much easier to solve.

When Tengshu arrived in this world, he looked up the ground squirrels and discovered that they were actually somewhat similar to ordinary mice, but with sharper claws that were better suited for digging.

Chapter 327 Waiting for Death

"Ha, these bumpkins." Philo glanced disdainfully at the jubilant people around him. He couldn't understand why these people were so excited about an ordinary holiday, and why they were so reluctant to spend money.

Sure enough, these people were all bumpkins and penniless bastards.

Philo held his head high, his eyes looking down at the others. This feeling made him feel very comfortable, after all, he was Philo! And a rich second-generation heir at that.

So, determined to become the strongest Pokémon Trainer, Philo resolutely chose to go on a journey, taking with him some well-trained and powerful Pokémon. He even asked his mother to get him a Dratini, which made Philo even more proud—it was a Dratini!

Can you poor bastards afford to support yourselves?

Thinking of this, Philo became even more smug. He patted the fiery horse beneath him, looked at the envious eyes of his peers around him, and proudly raised his head.

Riding a fiery horse during this festival costs money, exactly 33,300, supposedly for good luck. But because the price is so high, no one else is really willing to try it. It was under these circumstances that Philo stepped forward, took out his money, and got on the horse.

Amidst the envious and jealous glances of others, Philo finished the gathering triumphantly. However, he still yawned. For some reason, even though he went to bed early the night before, he was still very sleepy. This made Philo feel drowsy, and he kept rubbing his eyes. So he simply found a high-quality hotel that provided services to trainers and stayed in an executive suite for 3,000 League Coins.

As soon as he entered, Philo fell asleep immediately, and the hotel's Rotom smart butler, noticing this, thoughtfully hung a "Do Not Disturb" sign on the door.

At that moment, Philo was looking around in panic.

He found that everything around him had suddenly become very large, very tall, and very dense. He had nothing on him, and Philo tried to touch himself, but found that he couldn't touch anything.

Looking down, Philo was shocked to discover that he had turned into a Nidoran!

"Nidoran? I've become Nidoran?!" Philo was a little confused. He had never heard of a person turning into a Pokémon before. After all, such a thing was extremely rare, or rather, it had never happened at all. But at this moment, he had indeed become Nidoran.

Philo tried to call for help, but the surrounding bushes and trees seemed like a giant maze. Philo walked for most of the day without finding any trace of human activity, which caused Philo great distress.

Moreover, he had to avoid other Pokémon along the way. It was only at this time that Firo realized that wild Pokémon actually had a sense of territory and would actively attack other Pokémon that intruded. Firo was hit, and the pain made him scream in agony. It seemed that this aroused the other party's pity, and Firo finally got a chance to catch his breath.

"Damn it, once I turn back, I'm going to kill this guy!" Philo gritted his teeth in hatred at the thought of Rattata. He had actually been bullied by a Pokémon he usually looked down on!

But Philo remained confident, believing that he could get help as long as he found the Pokémon Professor and humans.

A day passed, and Philo was very hungry, but he endured it. He wouldn't eat this junk food; if he was going to eat, it would be a chef's delicacy!

Three days later, Philo took a bite of the rather unpalatable tree fruit. It was very sour, but at least it filled his stomach.

Five days passed, and Philo was in despair. He realized that he couldn't get out of the dense maze at all. He couldn't even find any trace of human activity. This caused Philo great pain, and he even had suicidal thoughts. However, after hitting a tree, the excruciating pain made Philo calm down. It was just too painful.

Fifteen days passed, and Philo gradually got used to life as a Nidolan. He could find the freshest fruit, a place to hide and sleep, and he knew how to survive. Sometimes Philo even doubted whether he was really a Nidolan. Were all his previous experiences just his dream of being a Nidolan?

Is he Nidolan? Is Nidolan Philo?

On the sixteenth day, Philo went to look for berries as usual. Berries were not easy to obtain and required competition with other Pokémon. However, Philo knew of a place where there were some berries. These berries were stored by someone and were slowly rotting, but for Philo, they were still a delicious meal to fill his stomach.

Just as Philo was leaving, he suddenly encountered a blurry, huge black shadow, and then heard the voice, "Charmander, come quick!" Philo instantly became excited—a human! He had encountered a human!

But then came a blazing fireball. Philo screamed in terror. He tried to speak, but only the chattering of Pokémon came out. Philo tried to dodge, but he couldn't. He was hit directly by the flames and fell to the ground in pain.

So... being hit by flames hurts that much?

A Poké Ball was thrown at him, and Philo was caught without any resistance. This made Philo both angry and happy. After all, now that he was caught, he would have a Trainer. He could go out and write with his claws, and the Trainer would help him!

But when Philo was thrown out, before he could even happily write anything, he was arrested.

A dark, indistinct face appeared before him.

"Tsk tsk, so weak. A trash Pokémon like you doesn't even deserve to be in my team. Disgusting!" The black giant said, then tied him to a tree. Philo cried out in terror and begged for mercy, but only received more impatient treatment in return.

"So you like to bark so much?" The other party stuffed black mud into its mouth, and in order to avoid suffocating, Philo could only close its mouth in despair.

Then Philo watched as the other person wrote a note, stuffed it into the rope, clapped his hands, and left.

Before leaving, she gave him a disdainful look.

"Disgusting garbage."

Philo was startled. He had said those words before, to that Nidoran...

The shadowy figure became clearer, and Philo could finally see that it was himself.

Filo struggled angrily and tried to roar, but to no avail. He could only hope that someone else or another Pokémon would come to his rescue.

But he waited for three days, and no one or Pokémon passed by. Hunger, thirst, and the fear of death gripped Philo's heart, making it hard for him to breathe.

At the moment of death, a thought flashed through Philo's mind.

It turns out that waiting for death is the most terrifying thing...

Chapter 328 Locke's Witching Prophecy

Teng Shu paid no attention to Philo's plight; he had already finished his follow-up visit and was on his way back.

As for Philo?

Teng Shu wasn't worried. Since the system said that the nightmare state would only be released after the other party repented, Teng Shu knew that if the other party didn't truly repent, he would probably be stuck in a vegetative state for the rest of his life.

Driving his small truck, Teng Shu returned to the orphanage. He encountered no problems along the way, which made him feel much better. It seemed that the groundhogs destroying the road was just an occasional occurrence and not something that would happen all the time.

"You're back so soon, Dean." Teng Shu had just returned when he ran into Grandpa Xingzhen, who was cleaning. Grandpa Xingzhen greeted Teng Shu with a smile, and Teng Shu returned the greeting warmly.

Grandpa Xingzhen was an eccentric man. After joining the welfare home, he worked very diligently every day and would stay in his room in his spare time. Tengshu had asked Grandpa Xingzhen if he wanted to go out for a walk, but Grandpa Xingzhen told him that he wanted to write a book to warn those who were addicted to gambling.

Teng Shu thought the old man's idea was quite good, but he wasn't sure if it would be effective.

Teng Shu had met those gamblers before. The simplest one was the old brother from the Tieba forum. Things like "three punches" and "old brother" and "running away must use Shaxian snacks" all came from here.

Of course, this place is full of scammers and scumbags, as well as some trash who want to squeeze money out of these people. But it is also full of some real guys who have documented their attempts to quit gambling, but often they just give up halfway through and start losing dozens of times over again.

The most famous one, of course, is the one that broke the hearts of countless people: "Mom is serving the dishes."

"Grandpa, have you finished your book?" Teng Shu asked the old man. The old man shook his head. He had a lot to write and a lot to say, but he was worried that if he said too much, others would find it annoying, so he kept simplifying it.

Teng Shu didn't say much, but told the old man to let him know when the other party finished writing. Teng Shu knew an editor, although he was a comic book editor, but the other party was also in charge of novels, so he could give him the manuscript for reference.

The old man was very happy and repeatedly said that he would definitely give the book to Teng Shu to read.

When Tengshu stopped the car and arrived at the infirmary, he saw Yui, who was already asleep, covered with a blanket by Locke.

"This little girl has been waiting for Eevee." Seeing Tengshu come over, Locke sighed and said in a low voice. Tengshu nodded. He looked at Yui like this and couldn't help but smile. This little girl is really good to her Pokémon. You can tell from this. No wonder Eevee is willing to fight against Beedrill and Tauros for Yui. This is a very rare thing.

"Her parents are really trusting; they actually let her sleep here." Teng Shu said with some helplessness. Looking at Yui in front of him, Teng Shu felt a little helpless. Her parents were really bold to leave such a little girl here.

"This is an Alliance welfare home, what's there to worry about?" Locke didn't seem to care. Welfare homes under the Alliance's jurisdiction are generally very safe.

Tengshu glanced at Eevee, who was sleeping and receiving treatment. Seeing the horrifying wounds on Eevee's body gradually healing, Tengshu felt a little happier. Once Eevee recovered, it would be able to go back with Yui.

"It seems like our infirmary is quite busy," Teng Shu remarked. Just then, the door opened, and Teng Shu turned to look—it was Happiness Egg.

Since joining the orphanage, Lucky Egg has been living there and has no intention of going back. Moreover, Miss Joey trusts Teng Shu completely and has no intention of coming to inquire about him.

However, Blissey is responsible for taking care of elderly Pokémon. Although this seems a bit complicated, it is actually relatively simple. After all, most Pokémon are still able to take care of themselves when they get old, and it is extremely rare for them to completely lose their ability to take care of themselves.

It's probably only the Slowpoke that's already buried in the grave that's like this. And thinking of Slowpoke, Tengshu's mood became a little heavy. He thought of what had happened before. Back then, Slowpoke liked to sunbathe outside, but now, you can't see Slowpoke anywhere in the orphanage.

When Lucky Egg saw Teng Shu, he greeted Teng Shu and Locke, then found a few boxes of medicine, carried them out, and left.

"It's some disinfectant. I guess Aixin thinks the hygiene in the nursing home isn't very good and wants to clean it up." Locke knew what it was at a glance. In fact, disinfectant is one of the most common and consumable items in hospitals. In the Pokémon world, disinfectant is listed as medicine, apparently because of its stronger disinfection ability.

I don't know how the disinfectant in the Pokémon world is formulated, but its disinfecting power is exceptionally strong. The only problem is that the smell after disinfection is particularly unpleasant, about one or two times stronger than the disinfectant used in hospitals.

"Do you think our welfare home needs disinfection?" Teng Shu suddenly remembered something. Although the welfare home had all the basic facilities, he really hadn't thought about disinfection.

“No need. It’s not flu season. Besides, starting disinfection isn’t a good thing. Sometimes, fewer bacteria and viruses in the environment can weaken the immune system.” Locke waved his hand. Teng Shu thought it made sense and gave up the idea.

Just then, Teng Shu's phone vibrated. He subconsciously took out his phone and glanced at it, usually because someone had sent him a message.

But most of the notifications are for phone bills and data usage.

[Changqing City Epidemic Prevention Office: There is a recent surge in Pokémon fever cases. Welfare homes are requested to implement appropriate preventative measures. If any cases of Pokémon fever are discovered, please report them to the Epidemic Prevention Office immediately...]

Teng Shu paused for a moment, then looked at Locke with a strange expression. Could it be that Locke inherited some kind of jinx system?

Teng Shu stood up and showed Locke the information on his phone. Locke's expression became somewhat distorted.

However, both of them knew the priorities. Locke found the disinfectant and gave it to Tengshu, who then prepared to mobilize the others.

Chapter 329 Pokémon Craze

Pokémon fever is a special epidemic that only appears in the Pokémon world. In Tengshu's opinion, this thing is somewhat like a combination of feline distemper and parvovirus. It has a very high infection rate and a very high mortality rate. It is the kind of disease that would terrify Nurse Joy in the Pokémon world if she found it.

Although the infection rate and mortality rate are both high, it is precisely because of these two reasons that the spread of this thing is actually limited. Sometimes, infected Pokémon die before they can spread to other Pokémon, which is another way of preventing the spread.

"Xiao Bao, Xiao Hei, you two are in charge of disinfecting the other areas of the welfare home. And the rest of you, come here, take this and make sure every place in the welfare home is sprayed, understand?" Teng Shu was distributing disinfectant. The welfare home was very large, and it had become even larger after an expansion.

Therefore, Tengshu alone is naturally too busy, and the little ones need to all work together.

So all the Pokémon grabbed disinfectant and got busy, while Tengshu looked at the walls of the orphanage.

The orphanage is a large place, and because it has a variety of places for Pokémon to live, there are quite a few wild Pokémon living there. These wild Pokémon live in this place, and sometimes new Pokémon will join them.

Teng Shu wasn't worried about anything happening inside the welfare home. After all, so much disinfectant had been sprayed on it that the probability of anything going wrong was extremely low. What Teng Shu was worried about was something else.

If those diseased wild Pokémon get in, then a large number of Pokémon will probably get infected. If too many are infected, it will turn into a plague, which will be very troublesome.

“But this wall…” Teng Shu was a bit of a headache. Protecting such a large wall wouldn’t be easy, so he could only start by spraying disinfectant in a certain area outside the orphanage. Most wild Pokémon are quite sensitive to this smell, and they will quickly retreat if they smell it.

After all, Pokémon with noses usually have a very sensitive sense of smell, so if a problem really arises, these wild Pokémon will naturally run away quickly.

As for the consumption of disinfectant, although a considerable amount is consumed every day, this small amount of money is nothing in the face of life.

Blissey went even further. After learning about the Pokémon craze, this Pokémon, who had been all smiles and seemed happy ever since entering the orphanage, instantly changed its expression and began to arrange epidemic prevention measures. Tengshu was also assigned a task.

purchase.

According to Cheese, it's best not to go out during this period. Although Pokémon fever is not contagious to humans, it can be carried by Tengshu. If Tengshu brings back the Pokémon fever virus, it will be very troublesome. Therefore, Tengshu must be disinfected when going out and coming back.

Teng Shu knew what "lucky eggs" meant, so he simply drove his small truck out. He planned to buy more ingredients and disinfectant.

"But thankfully it's Pokémon fever." Teng Shu sighed as he drove, looking at the pedestrians on the road.

People are quite experienced in dealing with Pokémon craze, so there's not much panic. However, if it were a severe flu, many people would probably rush to Pokémon Centers to buy medicine.

Even so, when Teng Shu arrived at the hospital to buy some disinfectant, there were still quite a few people queuing up to buy it. Fortunately, since Teng Shu was employed by the welfare home, the hospital naturally reserved enough for him.

"Is this Pokémon craze serious?" The person in charge of distributing medicine and registering Teng Shu was Qiao Yifeng, a very academically gifted woman. Teng Shu remembered that when she came last time, Qiao Yifeng had a doctoral degree and had published many papers. He wondered how many papers she had published now.

In some ways, Teng Shu felt that Qiao Yifeng and Locke were quite similar; both of them liked writing papers.

However, Qiao Yifeng is a bit more extreme. She writes papers, is a very skilled surgeon, wields the scalpel with great skill, and is also said to be a part-time postdoctoral supervisor at a medical university.

"It's not very serious, but it's appeared in other areas, and it's a new variant. We'd better be careful until we can confirm the threat." Qiao Yifeng handed a few masks to Teng Shu. This time, the news about the new variant was not leaked because the Alliance was not yet sure whether this new variant could infect humans.

If that happens, then the entire Changqing City will probably be in a medicine shortage. However, the probability is very low, since there were some people in the area where the infection occurred before, but none of them were infected.

"Okay, thank you." Teng Shu said gratefully, then carried the bags of medicine that Qiao Yifeng had given him back to the car and put them in the back cargo area.

Immediately afterwards, Teng Shu went to the market and bought some easy-to-preserve food. He also went to the supermarket and bought a lot of Pokémon food. This stuff can be used as a consumable, and sometimes when there is no other food, Pokémon food can ensure that the little guys will not starve to death.

Although Tengshu felt that nothing would happen.

Virus mutation is a very normal thing. Viruses like the flu virus mutate even more frequently, and the strains circulating each year are different. After all, mutation is a very easy thing for viruses.

However, since the league has not issued any more serious warnings so far, it proves that this problem is not very serious.

After driving back to the welfare home, Teng Shu was given a thorough disinfection, including the car. Teng Shu naturally had no objections, as the disinfectant would be washed off later.

"By the way, where's Xiao Dong?" Teng Shu thought about things while disinfecting, and then he thought of Dong Shi Miao.

Meowth is in charge of guarding the warehouse. Normally, there's not much to do, but with the current Pokémon craze, if Rattata brings in the virus, Meowth might be the first to get infected. So, Tengshu plans to seal off the warehouse and also prepare for Meowth's epidemic prevention.

When Tengshu found Dongshimiao, Dongshimiao was disinfecting the warehouse. It was doing it very carefully, and the smell of disinfectant permeated the area, as did the surrounding wild Pokémon area.

Some wild Pokémon couldn't stand the smell and left on their own, while others silently endured it.

Teng Shu suddenly thought of something.

The Pikachu family.

Chapter 330 Disinfectant for Pikachu

Pikachu and his family live outside, and they rarely come to Tengshu's orphanage, a fact that Tengshu himself is well aware of.

The last time Pikachu and his family came was because of a snowstorm, but now, although it's not a snowstorm, it's in some ways even more terrible than a snowstorm.
