Victor, getting off Rapidash's back, walked into the Breeding House and found Shana sitting between Summer and Officer Jenny, watching cartoons.
Seeing Victor return, Shana jumped off the chair, ran over, and threw herself into Victor's arms.
Victor rubbed her little head and praised her actions yesterday again.
Making Shana grin from ear to ear.
After greeting Summer and Officer Jenny, Victor walked quickly towards the incubation room.
Seeing Victor's hurried manner, Summer and Officer Jenny looked at each other and followed.
Victor arrived at the incubation room and carefully counted the Pokémon Eggs inside.
There were only eighteen Pokémon Eggs left in total.
Victor frowned tightly; eighteen Pokémon Eggs might not be enough.
"What's wrong?"
Officer Jenny looked at the frowning Victor and asked.
Victor told them about what happened today.
Hearing Victor's words, Officer Jenny also became troubled.
"The next batch of Pokémon Eggs isn't due for distribution yet. Even if I report it now, with the League's dispatch speed, it will take until tomorrow night at the earliest to arrive."
Just as everyone fell into silence, Summer suddenly spoke: "I remember you said before that you could find suitable Trainers for the forest Pokémon?"
Victor suddenly remembered this and went to the backyard.
Then he asked which Pokémon wanted to find a Trainer. Victor recorded them one by one. If there weren't enough Pokémon Eggs tomorrow, or if Trainers wanted to find a Pokémon with a matching personality, they could come and try to take these Pokémon away.
Of course, if these Pokémon weren't satisfied with the Trainers, they could refuse.
After working for a long time, Victor, Summer, and Gengar finally finished the tally.
Then he received a message from Professor Rowan saying that the lab would send him a batch of Pokémon Eggs tomorrow, asking Victor to pay attention to signing for them.
Victor was ecstatic.
After preparing for the possibility of insufficient Pokémon Eggs tomorrow, Victor returned to his room, took a shower, walked to the bedside, and fell back directly onto the big bed.
Exhaled comfortably.
Sure enough, my own bed is the most comfortable to sleep in.
Victor grabbed Vulpix, who didn't plan to sleep yet, into his arms and started petting her.
Not long after, Victor fell asleep in a daze.
Vulpix was enjoying the long-lost massage, only to find Victor's movements stopped. She raised her head, wanting to ask Victor to continue, but found Victor had already fallen fast asleep.
She swallowed her voice, found a comfortable position for herself, gave a big yawn, then slowly closed her eyes and fell asleep in Victor's embrace.
Gengar floated over, covered them with the quilt. After Lilligant adjusted the bedside lamp to a warm tone, Gengar turned off the main light.
"Geng—"
"Lil~"
Goodnight.
Nothing happened overnight. Victor moved Vulpix from his chest to the bed, sat up, and spaced out for a while.
Then he stood up, opened the balcony door, went to the balcony, and stretched.
Lilligant was already in the backyard, and Gengar was doing his gymnastics.
After waiting on the side for Gengar to finish his gymnastics, he went to the bathroom to wash up with him. After washing up, he went downstairs to have breakfast with Summer and Shana.
Officer Jenny went back last night; her two days of leave had been used up.
After everything was done, Lilligant hung out the "Open" sign, and Victor lay directly on the lounge chair in the rest area.
Waiting for customers to arrive.
Before customers arrived, the lab's Pokémon Eggs were delivered.
——
Gengar and the others helped move this batch of Pokémon Eggs to Group 4 and 5. Victor put on his stethoscope.
Counted them; seventeen Pokémon Eggs in total.
Victor placed the stethoscope on the Pokémon Eggs one by one, observing their conditions.
[Elekid Egg] [Hatching Progress: 12/30]
[Buizel Egg] [Hatching Progress: 11/30]
[Sandshrew Egg] [Hatching Progress: 21/30]
[Spinarak Egg] [Hatching Progress: 25/30]
Victor observed them one by one, then moved them back into the incubation room with Gengar and the others.
Afterward, he continued sitting in the rest area.
Soon, a couple led two teenagers inside.
"Boss, we want two Pokémon Eggs."
Seeing Victor, the man said straight to the point.
Victor didn't waste words either. He led them directly into the incubation room, asked what Pokémon the two teenagers wanted, and based on their needs, gave them a Shinx egg and a Buizel egg.
Just after sending these few away, several more customers walked in.
Victor took them to the incubation room to choose Pokémon Eggs again. By the time he sent these customers out, he found the lobby was already crowded with customers.
Looking at the somewhat chaotic scene, Victor clapped his hands and shouted loudly: "Line up, everyone, one by one."
No one paid attention to Victor.
Lilligant watched Victor hysterically trying to maintain order while no one paid attention to him, and frowned.
About to explode, she stopped her movements upon hearing Victor's words.
"If you don't line up, no one gets to buy a Pokémon Egg!"
One sentence scared all the teenagers who wanted to buy an egg for their own Pokémon. They pulled their parents or friends and obediently lined up.
Victor nodded in satisfaction. Summer brought Shana in from the backyard to help entertain the subsequent customers.
Gothita led Mime Jr. to give every customer a glass of water, while Lilligant, Machamp, and other Pokémon maintained order on site.
Summer was entertaining customers, seeing the growing line, her head felt big.
Wasn't I here to rest? Wasn't I here to eat delicious food?
How did I end up helping out?
Not only people from Sandgem Town, but people from Twinleaf Town were also queuing.
Due to the excessive number of people, both Sandgem Town and Twinleaf Town sent several police officers to maintain order.
Officer Jenny from Twinleaf Town and Officer Jenny from Sandgem Town were constantly maintaining order in the back.
Inside the Breeding House, Victor's tongue was about to smoke.
After drinking the warm water Gengar handed him, he wiped the sweat from his forehead.
Looking at the long line.
He knew many people would come, but he didn't expect so many people to come.
After finishing the water, he handed the front over to Summer, Shana, and Lilligant, while he led several boys and girls who wanted to go to the backyard to choose Pokémon to the backyard. Gengar floated in the air, watching both the front and the backyard situations.
"Wow!"
Several Trainers who wanted to choose Pokémon couldn't help but say "Wow" when they saw the scene in the backyard.
Victor took them to the Pokémon who wanted to find Trainers. He had marked out a specific area.
Temporarily letting them wait for the arrival of Trainers in this area.
Soon, several of them chose their ideal Pokémon. The only one left was a somewhat shy girl.
Victor looked at her and asked with a smile: "Have you decided what Pokémon you want?"
The girl glanced at these lively Pokémon. They were all cute, but there wasn't a Pokémon that moved her heart.
"How about Pachirisu? Quite cute."
Headshake.
"What about Buneary? Strong and cute."
Headshake.
"Oddish?"
Headshake.
"Wurmple?"
After introducing all of them without finding what she wanted, Victor could only shake his head helplessly and lead them towards the front.
Still couldn't find a suitable Pokémon...
The little girl walked at the very back of the line with her head down.
She actually liked those Pokémon just now very much, but she felt they were too lively. She didn't like to talk much and preferred to stay quiet, so she wanted to find a Pokémon that could accompany her quietly.
But after looking around, she didn't find one.
Her mood was incredibly low.
At this time, she felt something watching her. She looked up and found it was a Pokémon like a flower bud, green all over, like a wrapped-up child.
She saw the shyness in its eyes.
I can actually see its emotions from its eyes.
She stopped her steps.
"Shop————Shopkeeper————"
She spoke softly.
Victor turned his head, looked at her guilty and blushing expression for interrupting everyone's progress. He encouraged her and asked: "What's wrong?"
She pointed to that Budew and whispered: "Can I————can I have that Pokémon?"
Victor looked in the direction of her finger.
It was a Budew.
Its personality seemed to match this little girl very well.
Victor nodded.
"You know, it's not a Breeding House Pokémon. It's just temporarily living in the Breeding House. If you want to take it away, you have to communicate with it yourself, persuade it to go with you. If it is willing, I have no objection."
The girl looked at that Budew, listening to Victor's words.
"Thank you."
After speaking, she walked to Budew and extended her hand.
"Hello, my name is Xiaocao. I like you very much. Do you want to come with me? I can tell you stories, read books to you, read books together with you, and eat delicious food together."
Hearing the girl fluently say a lot of words, Victor smiled.
Seems she only stammers and gets shy with strangers.
Budew paused, looking at the girl in front of it.
Under the sunlight, her smile was sincere and bright.
Like the sunlight in March, warming the heart.
By a happy coincidence, it nodded.
The little girl smiled happily.
"Is it okay? Shopkeeper."
"It seems it chose you too. In that case, I'll leave it to your care."
The girl picked up Budew, nodding seriously.
After sending them back to the front, Victor took the next batch to the backyard.
Busy all day, after sending away the last guest, Victor lay in the rest area.
Gengar lay beside him, tongue hanging out.
His body rose and fell with his breathing.
Looking completely burnt out.
Only a few Pokémon Eggs remained in the incubation room, and some of the backyard Pokémon had been taken away.
"I hate you, Victor."
Summer took a sip of honey water and said viciously.
The two Officer Jennys also walked in. With no seats left, they sat directly on the floor, took the honey water Mime Jr. prepared for them, and drank comfortably.
After resting for a while, Victor began to calculate today's harvest.
Eighty percent of the income came from Pokémon Eggs, although the number of Pokémon leaving the backyard was much higher than the number of Pokémon Eggs.
Victor gave a 30% discount on Pokémon Eggs, so the income would be somewhat less.
As for the forest Pokémon in the backyard, Victor said from the beginning that they weren't property of the Breeding House, so after they found Trainers, only a small introduction fee would be charged, far less than the income from Pokémon Eggs.
For some, Victor didn't even charge money.
Victor took out half, divided it into several portions, and gave them to Summer and the two Officer Jennys respectively.
Summer took the money and casually gave it to Shana, and so did the two Officer Jennys.
Shana looked at the large sum of money in her arms, paused for a moment, and gave it to Gengar.
Gengar:
?
??
???
?! Such a good thing exists?!
(⊙_⊙)
Victor: "..."
"Hurry up and cook for us, we don't care about your money."
Summer smacked Victor on the head.
"Acting so formal when we're family, get lost."
Victor giggled, then gave the remaining money to Gengar and ran to the kitchen to prepare dinner.
Behind him, the four women and Lilligant whispered, laughing heartily from time to time.
Gengar returned to the room, deposited part of the money into Shana's piggy bank, and saved the rest for himself.
"Geng—"
Have money again~
