Joy stayed for lunch, then sat in the lounge area with Gengar, watching TV.
Lilligant and Roserade also came over to join them.
Even Gothorita, no longer following Mime Jr., brought Vespiquen over to join the group.
Vulpix also jumped down from Lucas's arms and joined in.
A women's salon gathering began.
It even squeezed out Gengar, who was originally watching TV.
"Gengar?! (/)"
Wasn't I watching TV? How did I get squeezed out?!
Seeing this, Lucas patted Gengar's shoulder, feeling sympathetic.
There was nothing he and Gengar could do; they couldn't resist them at the moment.
"By the way, Sister Linnea, aren't you working today?"
"Huh? Me? I told my superiors that I haven't found a Pinsir yet."
"..."
You can skip work like that?!
Lucas was a bit surprised to hear Joy's matter-of-fact statement.
"Since it's not too busy today, I'll spend more time with Lilligant and the others."
Joy said with a smile.
Lucas shrugged; there was nothing he could do about that.
Then he returned to the kitchen to prepare snacks for them.
Gengar, meanwhile, went back to the room, picked up a tablet, and sat on the counter, happily watching cartoons.
Lucas, busy in the kitchen, was startled by text that suddenly popped up.
"Breeder 5: You seem to have become a qualified Pokémon mind-healing expert. A qualified breeder can always keep Pokémon in a good mood, facing each day positively, and can always pay attention to the Pokémon's mind, guiding and healing them."
"Congratulations, all Pokémon in the Breeding House with mental trauma have recovered to a state where they can live normally. Therefore, you have received their gifts."
"Teddiursa's Gift: Teddiursa loves to eat honey, but one day it seemed to have picked up a beautiful stone. Now it gives it to you: Shiny Stone."
"Misdreavus's Gift: Misdreavus, who considers Gengar its boss and follows Gengar every day to play pranks, seems to love this kind of life. Therefore, it has given you a treasured gift: Spell Tag."
"Roselia's Gift: Roselia yearns to become stronger one day to protect its good sister Lilligant and the others. Therefore, it has condensed this wish into a gift: Poison Barb."
"Heracross's Gift: Heracross, who suffered the most severe mental trauma, was healed yesterday and today even met its good brother Pinsir. Therefore, it gave its gift: combee honey, Dynamic Punch."
"Shiny Stone: Can evolve specific Pokémon."
"Specific Pokémon: Togetic, Roselia, Minccino, Floette."
"Spell Tag: A strange and terrifying charm. When held, the power of Ghost-type moves will increase."
"Poison Barb: A small needle with toxicity. When held, the power of Poison-type moves will increase."
"combee honey: Honey with an amber glow, a favorite of Bug-type Pokémon and Fairy-type Pokémon. It can attract them to gather where it's thrown, and it's also an ingredient for some gourmet dishes."
"Dynamic Punch: Punches with full body strength, guaranteed to confuse the opponent. Can be taught to a suitable Pokémon."
"Oh my, it seems you're already an excellent breeder, Lucas — Grandma."
Lucas looked at these lines of text.
"Wow—"
His mouth hung open in shock.
Are these rewards so abundant?
Did something happen these past two days? Rewards are coming one after another.
Evolution stones, items, and even moves.
Every single one is useful to him right now.
Especially the Shiny Stone and Dynamic Punch.
The Shiny Stone can evolve Roselia into Roserade, and Dynamic Punch goes without saying.
Of course, Cynthia's guidance allowed Bolt to learn Dynamic Punch, while Dash only learned Focus Punch.
However, only Dash has the No Guard ability. Now, if she learns Dynamic Punch...
No Guard Shinny female Machamp Dynamic Punch.
How will you respond to that punch?!
Lucas nodded comfortably, feeling satisfied.
He then carried the snacks out.
He even found Dash among them.
Oh, that's right, Dash is the big sister of the Breeding House after all.
Although Dash's physique seemed a bit out of place.
She was no less imposing than Blissey, her arm muscles bulging like small mountains.
Lucas walked over and placed the snacks in front of them.
Then he curiously pressed his finger on Dash's arm muscle.
A rare item, Black Belt, was tied to her arm.
Full of power!
It's worth all the good food and generous portions I feed you every day.
"Machamp?!"
Dash was a bit surprised, then struck a bodybuilding pose.
Lucas smiled, "It's nothing, you all continue chatting."
No longer disturbing their private conversation, Lucas took Gengar back to the backyard.
Arriving at the rock area, he planned 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 power to clear out one stone after another.
On the other side, Mime Jr. brought Heracross, Pinsir, and Misdreavus to help.
Lucas directed Heracross to use its big horn to lift these stones one by one and place them in suitable spots, as well as Pinsir.
The two Bug-type Pokémon, along with Gengar, Mime Jr., and Misdreavus, under Lucas's command, were sweating profusely as they cleared the rock area, arranging it so that one part was a forest of strange rocks, while another part was a smooth rock area. They also planned out a section to place sand.
That way, if any Pokémon who liked sand came, they would have a place to play.
Recently, many trainers had been contacting Lucas to inquire about the procedures for fostering Pokémon.
He believed that in a few days, people would come to foster Pokémon.
In addition, due to his frequent suspensions of business recently, the Breeding House's performance was not very good.
Moreover, the inventory of petilil herbal tea, the king of herbal tea sales, was almost depleted. This series of events meant that the Breeding House would have to be open every day in the coming days.
Looking at the cleared rock area, Lucas climbed down with Heracross's help, then walked towards the forest.
Pinsir looked left and right in the forest, always ready to protect Heracross.
As for Lucas, it glanced at Gengar and realized it probably didn't need its protection.
Along the way, many Pokémon offered their gifts: some berries and mushrooms.
Many other Pokémon also followed behind Lucas.
After Lucas found a few suitable trees, he stopped.
These trees seemed to have been broken during Pokémon's move practice, and they looked quite good.
Suitable to bring back to the Breeding House.
Since he was reluctant to cut down trees, Lucas could only search for trees that had been knocked down by Pokémon.
He directed Heracross and Pinsir to carry two trees.
The remaining trees were carried by several Aipom and other forest Pokémon, who volunteered.
They lifted them up.
Lucas returned to the Breeding House with a group of Pokémon.
Then he and Gengar planned to add some suitable play areas to the Breeding House.
