"Good morning, Petilil."
Lucas saw that the Petilil in his arms had woken up, stopped what he was doing, and said good morning to her with a smile.
"La ji."
Petilil's sweet voice came from beside his ear, and Lucas was startled.
[Breeder 4: Under your excellent care, Petilil successfully took that step and overcame her fear.]
[Received Petilil's gift: Miracle Seed.]
[Miracle Seed: When held by a Pokémon, the power of Grass-type moves increases.]
Looking at the seed lying on the leaf on Petilil's head, Lucas picked it up and placed it in the rising sun. Its texture was clear and beautiful.
"Are all the items for my own Breeding House going to come from Pokémon?"
Lucas thought to himself, then put away the Miracle Seed.
"I heard Miracle Seeds can also be used in cooking. I wonder what they taste like."
Lucas muttered to himself.
Gengar, who was nearby, heard this and instantly appeared next to Lucas.
"Kou jie——"
"No, that's too extravagant. It needs to be used to make money."
Lucas pushed away the drooling Gengar beside him, handed him the scissors, then put down Petilil and went to the well nearby to connect the hose.
He had Torterra lie down, then used the hose to spray Torterra.
Torterra squinted his eyes, enjoying the impact of the water, while Gengar, who knows where he pulled out a towel and shower gel from, started taking a bath nearby.
Lucas looked at Gengar, who was covered in bubbles, rolled his eyes, then turned the hose towards Petilil, covering it with his hand to make the water flow less turbulent, gently watering Petilil.
When Gengar was almost done bathing, he aimed the hose at him again, then squeezed the hose with his thumb.
Splat~
Gengar was sent flying by the water stream.
Looking at the playing-dead Gengar and Petilil, Lucas held the hose in his hand, and in the warm morning sun, a sudden emotion made him want to record this moment.
After cleaning, he instructed Gengar to tidy up, then Lucas returned to the kitchen to prepare breakfast.
In his free time while cooking breakfast, he took a moment to ask Nina, and then, based on her suggestion, bought a camera and some photo frames.
After breakfast, Gengar conscientiously went to the kitchen to wash dishes, and the other Pokémon patrolled the backyard or sunbathed.
Lucas, meanwhile, returned to the front, opened the gate, hung up the "Open for Business" sign, then lay on a chair in front of the counter and began reading the Energy Cube manual he had received as a reward.
After Gengar finished his bath, he floated to the backyard to check the herb garden and vegetable garden, then went to bother Vespiquen and the others for a bit, and finally played with Petilil for a while before returning to the front. He passed through the wall and saw Lucas engrossed in the book in his hand, with the fan gently blowing his bangs, making everything seem so beautiful.
Gengar grinned and chuckled softly, then picked up a broom and began to gently sweep the Breeding House.
Catching a glimpse of Gengar holding the broom and sweeping with his little butt wiggling, Lucas smiled, then continued reading the manual in his hand.
He was already starting to like this kind of life, even though he hadn't made any money yet.
Lucas thought to himself... Twinleaf Town.
Jenny walked out of a villa and nodded to the couple at the villa's entrance.
The couple was overjoyed and quickly walked into the villa.
Joy handed a bottle of water to Jenny, who had walked over to her, and Jenny took it, drinking more than half of it in one gulp.
"This is the third time this week."
Jenny complained to her good friend.
Joy clasped her hands in front of her, looked at her good friend, and said with a smile:
"You've worked hard."
"I think we should find a way to completely resolve this matter."
Hearing Jenny's words, Joy nodded in agreement.
"But problems of the heart aren't so easily resolved."
Joy sighed.
Standing in the shadow of the sunlight, Joy looked up at the second floor of the villa, where a delicate little girl lived.
However, due to her parents' prolonged absence and the long-term abuse from the housekeeper arranged by her parents, she developed severe psychological symptoms.
She dared not speak to anyone and was afraid to go outside.
When her parents learned about this and rushed back, her symptoms were already very severe.
Her parents immediately resigned from their jobs and took her everywhere seeking treatment, but the effect was minimal, and it only made her more afraid of crowds.
She often hid in corners of the house, and no matter how her parents called or comforted her, she wouldn't come out.
Because she and Jenny used to visit her often, now only she and Jenny could calm her down.
The situation this week was even more serious.
Only one of them, either herself or Jenny, could go in.
Joy sighed, she didn't know who to ask for help either.
While Joy was lost in thought, the couple walked out of the villa.
They thanked Joy and the others profusely.
"Has little Shauna's condition not improved?"
A voice from outside the villa reached everyone's ears.
Looking back, a kind old lady was standing at the entrance.
The couple nodded, sighed, and started talking to the old lady.
Joy remembered her; she ran a seed shop.
The old lady talked with the couple for a while, then sighed, "What a wonderful child."
After saying that, she turned to leave, but a young face flashed in her mind, and she paused.
She turned back and said, "If possible, you could try the newly opened Breeding House. Yesterday, I took my old man there, and the results were unexpectedly good."
Then she left.
Joy was startled when she heard this, and the incident with Petilil from not long ago came to her mind.
"Linnea, she's not talking about…"
Hearing Jenny's words, Joy snapped out of it, looked at her, and nodded.
"Lucas can do that too?"
Jenny frowned and said.
Joy told her about the Petilil incident.
After hearing Joy's words, Jenny thought for a while, then said, "I think we can give it a try, what do you think?"
Joy also pondered for a moment before nodding.
After the two discussed it, one went to talk to the couple, and the other took out her phone to ask Lucas for his opinion.
After receiving Lucas's reply, Joy glanced at Jenny, who nodded and walked into the villa, bringing out a delicate little girl shortly after.
Everyone got into the car and followed Jenny's motorcycle towards the Breeding House.
Meanwhile, Lucas, lying on the chair, was lost in thought with his phone in hand.
Gengar was sitting next to him, watching "Ditto's Adventures."
"A little girl with a wounded heart?"
Lucas muttered to himself; he wasn't confident about this matter either.
Joy on the other end of the phone said to just try their best.
Lucas sat up, and Gengar next to him looked at him.
He told Gengar about the matter, preparing to discuss with him how to handle it.
