Pokémon orphanage

"Mr. Taylor, by the way, do you know the Stray Pokémon Group in Viridian City?" A girl ran to Taylor and asked him with eager eyes.

Taylor remembered this girl. She was the one who came to donate books yesterday. Her name was Lucy.

"I know. They occasionally come to the Pokémon orphanage to eat and drink for free," Thinking of the Stray Pokémon Group that Lucy mentioned, a smile appeared on Taylor's face.

The Stray Pokémon Group, that's what Taylor and his friends called it.

Not all abandoned Pokémon are sent to orphanages. Some Pokémon are abandoned in the wild and then return to nature.

Some Pokémon, after being abandoned, choose to roam around the city. They don't go to Pokémon orphanages or the wild, but just become Stray Pokémon in the city.

However, the Alliance takes a hands-off attitude towards these Pokémon most of the time. As long as they do not affect the normal operation of the city, they will not deliberately capture them.

Taylor, who runs a Pokémon orphanage, naturally knows some of the Stray Pokémon. The Stray Pokémon in Viridian City can be divided into three groups, forming a three-way confrontation.

"Eh? Mr. Taylor, the one who came to your place is the cute one, right?" Lucy asked excitedly. She had just finished washing the dishes, and the others were weeding in the courtyard.

"Well, after all, the Independent Pokémon and the Wild Pokémon will not come to humans for food," Taylor glanced at Lucy. He didn't expect that this girl knew so much about these Stray Pokémon.

The cute Pokémon, led by a stray Pikachu, are best at acting cute and asking people for food, water, and medical treatment.

It is also the group with the highest number of adoptions.

After all, cute Pokémon often act cute in front of others, so they are more likely to be noticed and taken away, which can reduce the number of Stray Pokémon.

The Independent Pokémon never asks humans for food. They rely more on their own labor in exchange for food, such as helping to find things or helping to push carts. This group is led by a cat boss with a blind eye.

As for the Wild Pokémon, Taylor had only heard of them but had never seen them.

Because the Wild Pokémon often roam in the Viridian Forest, looking for food and competing with other wild Pokémon for territory, but they also live in Viridian City, they are a relatively mysterious group.

Of course, these camps are divided by bored humans themselves. In fact, Pokémon do not have these names. There are also some Stray Pokémon that do not belong to any group and live their own lives.

"Hehe, I've seen Wild Pokémon. At that time, I saw a Pokémon leading a group of Pokémon to Viridian Forest!" Lucy chatted excitedly.

Taylor raised his eyebrows.

Nowadays, all kinds of Pokémon are abandoned, and the reasons for abandonment are varied.

After chatting with Lucy about the Stray Pokémon, a volunteer came over in a hurry.

He said, Professor Oak has come.

Taylor was a little surprised. Didn't he say before that it would be tomorrow?

However, although he was surprised, Taylor still came to the door and saw Professor Oak, who looked exhausted.

The other person was holding a suitcase in his hand and looked like he had come by plane.

"You are Taylor, right? I am Professor Oak," Professor Oak stretched out his hand hurriedly, with a hint of urgency in his eyes.

Taylor also knew Professor Oak's mood, so he wasn't too polite and directly took Professor Oak to the place where Charmander and the others were resting.

Charmander and the others had just arrived at the Pokémon orphanage, and Taylor hadn't settled them in yet, so they were allowed to rest in the Pokémon orphanage's dormitory. But even so, the three Pokémon still had their eyes open, looking dazed and stupid.

The vacant stare was so strong that even Professor Oak couldn't attract the attention of the three Pokémon.

"..." After seeing this scene, Professor Oak fell silent. Then he staggered a few steps and slowly walked over.

Taylor didn't continue watching; he closed the door silently.

When he saw Professor Oak again, there were three more Poké Balls on his waist, and Professor Oak's eyes were a little red. The elderly man looked even more tired.

Wrinkles covered Professor Oak's forehead, and there was more fatigue and regret in his eyes.

"Thank you, Taylor," Professor Oak looked at Taylor and said sincerely.

Taylor quickly waved his hands. He didn't deserve the gratitude. After all, it wasn't him who rescued these Pokémon. He just received these Pokémon and waited for Professor Oak to come and take them away.

However, Professor Oak was obviously very excited now, and he forced 30,000 Alliance Coins on Taylor, who accepted it.

After all, thirty thousand Alliance Coins were enough for him to buy some Pokémon Food and other supplies, as well as some medical supplies.

"Professor Oak, I want to ask, when will Ash start his journey?" Looking at Professor Oak, who was in a hurry to leave, Taylor couldn't help but ask.

"Ash? That kid will embark on a journey next year," Professor Oak was stunned for a moment, thought for a while, and then thought of the person corresponding to this name.

Taylor raised his eyebrows, thanked him, and then sent Professor Oak out of the Pokémon orphanage.

Professor Oak was also in a hurry to take his Pokémon back to the institute. These three Pokémon had been injected with an overdose of sedatives and may have now suffered some irreparable neurological damage.

And Taylor also got his happiness points.

Three hundred points.

This made Taylor a little confused.

He didn't do anything, and he didn't know where these 300 happiness points came from. He just stayed there for a few hours, and he could get so many happiness points? Wasn't it a bit too hasty?

But this is also a good thing. Taylor quickly repaid the 100 points of debt for opening the library and then paid a little interest.

"Ash," Taylor rubbed his face. Having Ash had some advantages and disadvantages.

The good thing is that this world might be the anime world he has seen, but the bad thing is that when Ash embarks on his journey, he will probably face all kinds of disasters. After all, the story takes place wherever Ash goes.

However, Taylor didn't think too much about it. Even if Ash embarked on the journey, it would not have any impact on Taylor.

He runs a Pokémon orphanage, so he basically only stays in Viridian City and is unlikely to go anywhere else.

Once Ash leaves the Kanto region, subsequent disasters will hardly affect him.
