Chapter 86: Building a Reservoir, Buneary's New Job

On the way back, Bai Feng couldn't wait to ask Grandpa Fu, "Grandpa Fu, how did the talks go?"

"It's done!" Grandpa Fu replied. "You just need to find some time to send the material over. He's Home every day, so you can send it anytime."

"Grandpa Fu, you're truly my own Grandfather!" Bai Feng exclaimed excitedly upon hearing this. Then he asked doubtfully, "Mr. Bryan knows how to make Pokéblocks? How come I've never heard anyone mention it?"

Grandpa Fu snorted and said, "There's a lot you don't know."

As it was getting late, the two parted ways midway. Bai Feng returned to Fangxing Mountain, and Grandpa Fu returned to the Coupling Gym.

After returning Home, Bai Feng released the eight Gyarados and seven Clauncher and introduced them to the other Pokémon, instructing everyone to get along well in the future.

The Gyarados and Bai Ye were reunited after a long time, and there was another round of joyful reminiscing. With Bai Feng and Bai Ye there, they didn't feel any unease or difficulty adapting to the new environment.

However, the seven Clauncher were a bit difficulty adapting to life on land and seemed nervous when facing so many Pokémon.

The three Ghost-type Pokémon understood the Clauncher's situation best, so they proactively stepped forward to comfort them, eventually succeeding in helping the Clauncher settle down.

To welcome the new members, Bai Feng gave all the Pokémon a Rejuvenation again that evening. As expected, everyone cheered happily.

As long as new members joined, there would be a Rejuvenation Reward. For a time, everyone began to look forward to more new members joining in the future.

After several years, the Gyarados experienced the feeling of Rejuvenation again and were instantly immersed in it, unable to extricate themselves.

Because they were Old Friends and had traveled a great distance to find him, Bai Feng thoughtfully extended the Rejuvenation time for them. The Gyarados were completely satisfied.

The Clauncher experienced Rejuvenation for the first time and were indeed utterly captivated. However, Bai Feng didn't make an exception and extend their experience time like he did for the Gyarados.

He warned the Clauncher, "From now on, as long as you work hard, you can experience Rejuvenation anytime."

The Clauncher immediately spoke up, promising Bai Feng that they would be obedient, sensible, and work hard in the future!

Bai Feng nodded in satisfaction.

The next morning, Bai Feng got up and walked out of the courtyard, planning to breathe in the fresh air of Fangxing Mountain's morning. He then saw seven or eight Gyarados flying above the Orchard in the distance. They were opening their mouths and spitting out streams of Water Gun onto the fruit trees below.

Because it was their first time doing such a thing, the Gyarados' movements were a bit clumsy, completely different from how they fought in the sea.

But fortunately, with Vaporeon's guidance, although the Gyarados stumbled a bit, things went relatively smoothly overall.

As Flying-type Pokémon, Gyarados can naturally fly, but they can't fly too high or too fast, completely incomparable to their fierce speed when swimming in water.

However, slowly and leisurely watering above the Orchard was sufficient for now.

"So diligent this early in the morning?" Bai Feng looked at the Gyarados in surprise.

Not only were the Gyarados busy, but the Clauncher, who had just been warned by Bai Feng last night, were also not idle. Led by Brionne, they were working hard in another Orchard.

Brionne was usually quite diligent and often got up early for training. Today, it woke up even earlier than usual.

Having just taken in new subordinates, Brionne was determined to train them to be completely obedient to itself.

After breakfast, the Orchard truly began to get busy. The Pokémon picked the ripe fruit from the trees one by one, then carefully and neatly arranged them into baskets. Finally, Nidoking and others carried them down the mountain, waiting for clients to come and pick up the allocated fruit.

After the fruit that needed to be sold was picked, Bai Feng had them pick Grade A berries. He wanted to send the fruit to Mr. Bryan as soon as possible so Mr. Bryan could turn them into Pokéblocks. The Pokémon were waiting to eat them!

After arranging the morning's work, Bai Feng went to the Bi Yi City West District to find a construction team. He wanted to dig a reservoir, partly for water storage and partly to create a comfortable living environment for the Gyarados and Clauncher.

These Water-type Pokémon who had lived in the water for years couldn't just stay on land forever! That wouldn't be good.

Moreover, the presence of the reservoir could also regulate the surrounding environment.

Bai Feng hadn't built it before because he didn't have money. Now that he had just made a large sum, he naturally had to spend it quickly.

His fruit hadn't finished selling yet, and he believed that after some time, he would have another large sum of money coming in.

Bai Feng planned to build the reservoir in the Mountain Valley between Fangxing Mountain and Fangcun Mountain.

That Mountain Valley also belonged to Bai Feng. He had bought it along with Fangcun Mountain back then, and the price wasn't expensive. It just hadn't been utilized before, but now it was perfect for building a reservoir.

In fact, there were many similar Mountain Valleys around Fangxing Mountain and Fangcun Mountain, formed by interconnected small mountains. But the one between Fangcun Mountain and Fangxing Mountain had the best conditions because it was close to a water source.

Behind Fangcun Mountain and Fangxing Mountain was a continuous, endless Mountain Range. Further into the depths of the Mountain Range was the Uninhabited Area.

The largest river passing through Biyi City flowed out from that Uninhabited Area. This river flowed west into the sea and also had many tributaries, one of which happened to flow between Fangxing Mountain and Fangcun Mountain.

This was also why Bai Feng chose Fangxing Mountain and then Fangcun Mountain among so many small mountains nearby.

Bai Feng planned to build a reservoir connected to this tributary.

Construction teams were relatively easy to find. Bai Feng contacted the construction team that had helped him build his house before, and they introduced him to a construction team specializing in this kind of work.

After Bai Feng negotiated with them, they came over the same day.

Bai Feng took the people to the Mountain Valley, allowed the construction team to survey the environment there, and finally determined the reservoir's construction plan. The requirements were that it should neither damage the surrounding geological environment nor fail to fully utilize the reservoir's intended benefits.

Time flew by, and another month passed. Although other areas were gradually entering autumn, Biyi City was still lush and green.

However, Bai Feng's batch of berries was almost sold out, and he made a substantial profit from it. For now, he wouldn't be short on money for a while.

Currently, Biyi City's berry market had gradually stabilized after the Pokémon League's regulation. In this disaster, some people lost everything, while others made a fortune.

Bai Feng belonged to the latter.

During this month, Bai Feng continuously sent the harvested Grade A berries to Mr. Bryan, who processed them into Pokéblocks.

At first, Bai Feng wondered if he was sending them too frequently and if it would tire Mr. Bryan.

When he expressed this concern to Mr. Bryan, Mr. Bryan laughed heartily and told Bai Feng not to worry; he could send berries over anytime.

Later, Bai Feng learned that Mr. Bryan wasn't making Pokéblocks alone. He had trained an Octillery and a Slowking, and the Pokéblocks produced by these two Pokémon were no worse than those made by Mr. Bryan himself.

With Octillery working with multiple tentacles, its efficiency could easily surpass Mr. Bryan and Slowking by a long shot.

Although Slowking's speed in making Pokéblocks wasn't as fast as Octillery's or Mr. Bryan's, it was patient and meticulous, and the final Pokéblocks it produced were actually the highest in quality among the three.

The first time Bai Feng saw the three of them working together, he was quite shocked. He hadn't expected Mr. Bryan's Pokémon to be so capable.

Pokémon truly possess infinite potential.

However, this also gave Bai Feng an idea. He didn't have time to learn how to make Pokéblocks himself, but he could follow Mr. Bryan's example and let his Pokémon learn!

But learning to make Pokéblocks wasn't a simple matter; most Pokémon couldn't do it.

Bai Feng thought about his own Pokémon and employees and couldn't seem to find any Pokémon with this kind of talent.

However, he decided to wait until he had a chance to go Home and see.

He acted on the thought immediately. That day, after returning Home, Bai Feng bought a machine specifically for making Pokéblocks. This thing was quite expensive, costing nearly 100,000 each, which most people couldn't afford.

After bringing the machine Home, Bai Feng found a tutorial for making Pokémon food online and played it on the TV for the Pokémon to watch.

This kind of tutorial required money to purchase, but Bai Feng didn't care.

He had already bought a 100,000 machine, what was a little more? It was just pocket change...

The tutorial taught the simplest method for making Pokémon food. After watching it, Bai Feng felt he could make it immediately.

After the Pokémon finished watching, Bai Feng had each of them make a portion of Pokémon food.

The results were naturally disastrous; only Bai Ye's and Buneary's attempts were presentable.

However, when Bai Feng asked Bai Ye and Buneary if they wanted to learn how to make Pokéblocks, Bai Ye flatly refused.

It didn't want to learn how to make Pokéblocks at all. It was very satisfied with its current life, acting as Bai Feng's head housekeeper and occasionally going to spar with Talonflame and the others. It was a great life.

As for Pokéblocks, it only needed to be responsible for eating them.

Although Bai Ye didn't like fighting before, as its strength grew stronger and it witnessed the majesty of Legendary Pokémon, it had fully realized the benefits of being powerful. Therefore, it never slacked off on its daily training.

Currently, Bai Ye's strength firmly held the position of boss on Fangxing Mountain; no one could shake it.

Of course, this was also partly due to Bai Feng's favoritism towards it.

Because Bai Ye wasn't raised by Bai Feng from a young age, a lot of its potential was wasted. Bai Feng felt very regretful about this. To prevent his Mother from falling behind others, Bai Feng often secretly gave it extra Rejuvenation.

Since Bai Ye was unwilling, Bai Feng could only look at Buneary.

Buneary naturally had no objections. Its usual job was doing housework, which it did quickly and efficiently. After finishing, it had nothing else to do, so learning to make Pokéblocks wasn't a bad idea.

So, the matter was decided: Buneary would learn to make Pokéblocks.

When Bai Feng went to deliver berries to Mr. Bryan again, he brought Buneary along. Although Mr. Bryan might not be willing to teach Buneary, there was no harm in trying.

To Bai Feng's surprise, Mr. Bryan didn't refuse his request. He said, "When we're making Pokéblocks, your Buneary can watch from the side. How much it learns depends on its talent."

Mr. Bryan wasn't a businessman and didn't rely on making Pokéblocks for money. As long as he didn't have to personally teach, it was fine for Buneary to watch. He wasn't afraid of his skills being leaked.

If Buneary could truly learn the ropes, that would be its good fortune.

Facts proved that Mr. Bryan truly underestimated Buneary's talent. After just a few days, Buneary was already able to make Pokéblocks independently.

Although the quality of the initial ones wasn't great, this was already very impressive. At least Octillery and Slowking couldn't do it back then.

Mr. Bryan was amazed by this, praising Bai Feng for his good luck.

From that day on, Buneary would ride a Fletchinder to report to Mr. Bryan's Home on time every day.

Bai Feng even specially bought it a small, exquisite space backpack, specifically for carrying the berries and machine used to make Pokéblocks.

Brionne complained for several days about this, saying that Bai Feng gave Buneary a gift but not it, and that Bai Feng definitely liked Buneary more.

Bai Feng felt helpless.

Because he often went to Mr. Bryan's Home, Bai Feng naturally had more opportunities to interact with Siebold, and the two gradually became friends. Even Buneary got along well with Siebold.

When Bai Feng wasn't there, Siebold always took good care of Buneary. Bai Feng only heard about these things unintentionally from Buneary.

Since Buneary had to go to Mr. Bryan's Home to learn every day, Bai Feng's Home housework naturally couldn't be taken care of simultaneously. So, during this time, Bai Feng could only temporarily transfer Leavanny over to help.

But Leavanny itself had a busy work schedule in the Orchard, and Bai Feng always felt bad about bothering it so much.

Although Leavanny said it didn't mind, Bai Feng didn't want to take up too much of its time outside of work. Employees also needed rest and leisure time.

At this point, Bai Feng wondered if he should hire another Pokémon to be a Nanny. That way, when Buneary finished learning and returned, this new Nanny could be transferred to the Staff Dormitory.

It was also time to arrange a Nanny for the Staff Dormitory. Otherwise, it would probably be difficult for the employees to keep their Residence clean and hygienic on their own.

For example, the Diggersby weren't very fond of cleanliness and often made their Residence messy. Several times, Bai Feng couldn't stand it anymore and forced them to clean, and only then would they reluctantly give their Residence a thorough cleaning.

However, this matter had to be put on hold for a bit, because the construction of the reservoir was about to be completed, and Bai Feng had been busy with this recently.

Time flew by, and the day the reservoir was completely finished arrived.

Because the Pokémon World has advanced technology and the existence of magical creatures like Pokémon, building a reservoir didn't take much time.

If Bai Feng hadn't had so many requirements, the reservoir would probably have been built even faster.
