Nurse Joy stayed for lunch and then sat in the lounge area, watching TV with Gengar.
Lilligant and Roselia came over and sat down as well.
Even Gothita left Mime Jr.'s side and brought the Vespiquen over to join them.
Vulpix also hopped down from Victor's lap to join in.
A women's salon meeting had officially begun.
They even managed to squeeze out Gengar, who had been the one watching TV in the first place.
"Gengar?! (⊙_⊙)/"
Wasn't I just watching TV? How did I get pushed out?!
Victor, seeing this, sympathetically patted its shoulder.
It couldn't be helped. Right now, the two of them were no match for the girls.
"By the way, Joy, don't you have to work today?"
"Hm? Me? Oh, I told them I still haven't found that Pinsir."
"..."
You can skip work like that?!
Victor was surprised, hearing how matter-of-fact she was.
"Since it's not too busy today, I wanted to spend more time with Lilligant and the others," Joy said with a smile.
Victor shrugged. Nothing he could do about that.
He then went back to the kitchen to prepare some snacks for them.
Gengar, meanwhile, went back to the room, grabbed its tablet, and sat on the counter, happily watching cartoons.
Victor, who was busy in the kitchen, was suddenly startled by a text box that popped up.
[Breeder 5: You seem to have become a qualified Pokémon mental health expert. A qualified Breeder can always keep their Pokémon in a good mood, help them face each day with a positive attitude, and can always pay attention to a Pokémon's mental state, thereby guiding and healing them.]
[Congratulations, all the Pokémon at the Breeding House who were suffering from psychological trauma have recovered to a state where they can live normally. Therefore, you have received their gifts.]
[Teddiursa's Gift: Teddiursa loves honey, but one day it seems to have found a beautiful stone. Now, it gives this stone to you: a Shiny Stone.]
[Misdreavus's Gift: Misdreavus, who sees Gengar as its boss and follows it around playing pranks every day, seems to love this life. Therefore, it is giving you a gift it has treasured for a long time: a Spell Tag.]
[Roselia's Gift: Roselia longs for the day when it can become stronger and protect its good sister Lilligant and the others. Therefore, it has focused this wish into a gift: a Poison Barb.]
[Heracross's Gift: The Heracross, who suffered the most severe psychological trauma, finally began to heal yesterday and even met its good buddy Pinsir today. Therefore, it is giving you its gift: Honey and the move Dynamic Punch.]
[Shiny Stone: Allows certain species of Pokémon to evolve.]
[Applicable Pokémon: Togetic, Roselia, Minccino, Floette]
[Spell Tag: A strange and frightening charm. A Pokémon holding it will have the power of its Ghost-type moves boosted.]
[Poison Barb: A small, toxic needle. A Pokémon holding it will have the power of its Poison-type moves boosted.]
[Honey: Honey that shines with an amber luster. It is a favorite of Bug-type and Fairy-type Pokémon and can attract them to gather. It is also an ingredient in some gourmet foods.]
[Dynamic Punch: An all-out punch that always confuses the target. You can designate one suitable Pokémon to learn it.]
[My, my, it looks like you've already become an excellent Breeder, Victor. —Great-Aunt]
Victor stared at the lines of text.
"Whoa—"
He was so shocked his jaw dropped.
This wave of rewards... is this rich?
What's been happening these past two days? It's just one wave of rewards after another!
Evolution stones, items, and even a move.
Every single one was something he could use right now.
Especially the Shiny Stone and Dynamic Punch.
The Shiny Stone could evolve Roselia into Roserade, and as for Dynamic Punch... that was a game-changer.
Cynthia's training had allowed Erli to learn Dynamic Punch, but Dali had only learned Focus Punch.
But Dali was the one with the No Guard ability. If he had it learn Dynamic Punch now...
A No Guard, non-shiny, female Machoke with Dynamic Punch.
How are you supposed to deal with that?!
Victor nodded, completely satisfied.
He then brought the snacks out.
He was surprised to see Dali among the group of girls.
Oh, right. Dali is the "big sis" of the Breeding House.
Although, her physique did look a bit out of place. She was almost as big as Blissey, and the muscles on her arms bulged like small hills.
Victor walked over and placed the snacks in the middle of them.
He then curiously poked the muscles on Dali's arm, which was already wearing the Black Belt.
Full of power!
It's a good thing I feed you all such good, plentiful meals every day.
"Machoke?!"
Dali was surprised, then immediately struck a Bulk Up pose.
Victor smiled. "It's nothing. You all continue your chat."
Not wanting to interrupt their girl-talk, Victor took Gengar back to the yard.
He went to the rock area, intending to clear it out.
Afterward, he would go to the forest to see if there were any trees he could "borrow" and bring back.
Gengar used its psychic powers to clear the stones one by one.
Meanwhile, Mime Jr. came over to help, bringing Heracross, Pinsir, and Misdreavus.
Victor directed Heracross to use its large horn to lift the stones one by one and place them in appropriate spots, with Pinsir helping.
The two Bug-type Pokémon, along with Gengar, Mime Jr., and Misdreavus, worked up a sweat under Victor's direction, arranging the rock area. Part of it was made into a grove of strange, jutting stones, while another part was made of smooth rocks. He also set aside an area to be filled with sand.
That way, if any Pokémon that liked sand came to visit, they would have a place to play.
Lately, many trainers had been contacting Victor to ask about his Pokémon boarding services.
He was sure that in a few days, people would start coming to board their Pokémon.
Plus, because he had been temporarily closed so often recently, the Breeding House's business wasn't doing so well.
And his top-selling Petilil Herbal Tea was almost out of stock. All of these things meant that the Breeding House needed to be open every day from now on.
Looking at the newly organized rock area, Victor had Heracross help him down, and then he headed for the forest.
Pinsir, in the forest, looked left and right, always ready to protect Heracross.
As for Victor... it glanced at Gengar and figured he didn't need its protection.
Along the way, many Pokémon offered them gifts—berries and mushrooms.
Many other Pokémon also began to follow behind Victor.
When Victor found a few suitable trees, he stopped.
These few trees seemed to have been knocked down by Pokémon practicing their moves. They looked to be in good condition and were suitable for bringing back to the Breeding House.
He was reluctant to cut down living trees, so he could only search for ones that had already fallen.
He directed Heracross and Pinsir to lift two of the trees.
A few Aipom and other forest Pokémon volunteered to carry the rest.
Victor led the large group of Pokémon back to the Breeding House.
He then began to plan with Gengar, preparing to add some more play areas to the Breeding House.
