After processing all the documents on hand and sending the written documents back to the superior management, Taylor's work was considered finished.
"Ah, it's almost four o'clock?" Taylor looked at the clock beside him, stretched helplessly, relaxed his muscles, then stood up and looked out the window.
It is Taylor's habit to look out the window after using the computer for a while. After all, doing so can relieve fatigue from the eyes, and prevent vision from deteriorating too quickly.
Surgery for myopia is quite expensive, and Taylor doesn't want to waste money.
Taylor's Pokémon orphanage is located on the edge of Viridian City, not close to any main roads. When Taylor looks over, he can just see the Pokémon orphanage's exercise area and some vegetation outside the Pokémon orphanage.
Taylor looked towards the training area. Bonk was still training hard, practicing the Rage Fist. However, looking at Bonk's appearance, Taylor knew that Bonk had suffered a lot.
"But Bonk today, ah, so that's what's happening?" Taylor was a little surprised when he saw that Bonk didn't have too many wounds, but after noticing the people next to him, Taylor understood.
Next to Bonk, Lucy was squatting there, and next to Lucy there was a Chansey Egg, which, judging by its size and the soft glow, Taylor guessed it might be… made Taylor stunned.
Although not many people use the Pokémon Chansey in the game, it is actually a very popular Pokémon in this world. After all, Chansey can help with healing and has a kind personality.
With its existence, it will be much easier for trainers to take care of their Pokémon. However, most of the Happiny and Chansey are monopolized by the Joy family, so very few trainers on the market will carry Chansey with them.
The eggs of Chansey are also very valuable and high in nutrients. Raising a Chansey is like having a Pokémon doctor for yourself. You can also sell the eggs of Chansey from time to time to increase your income.
Therefore, there are many people who want to own this Pokémon, but there are very few reports of wild sightings of Chansey, and most of the time it only appears around Miss Joy in the Pokémon Center.
"Lucy is really amazing. She even has a Chansey?" Taylor raised his eyebrows. To be honest, he hasn't captured any Pokémon until now, but he doesn't need to capture Pokémon either.
Whether it is Kuro, Bonk, or Puffin, they are all Taylor's friends. The same is true for Casey, except that Casey has a socially withdrawn nature.
"Mr. Taylor, there's a delivery for you!" A boy came over holding a box. He was also a volunteer.
"Thank you," Taylor took it with a smile. The package was very heavy, and he knew at once that it was the Pokémon first-aid kit he bought.
Although Taylor has a medical cabin, there is only one. If there are any bumps and bruises while it is occupied, individual treatment will be required.
And although there is a Pokémon Center in the Pokémon world, the problem is that some diseases are best treated in advance and then sent to the hospital. In that way, the damage to the Pokémon is minimized. Taylor himself is very clear about this. The Alliance once sent Miss Joy to take first aid classes.
"Mr. Taylor, I heard you say there are four Pokémon in the Pokémon orphanage, but," The boy was a little curious. He found out when he was having dinner before that in Taylor's Pokémon orphanage, only Kuro, Bonk, and a Teddiursa were eating. No other Pokémon were seen.
"The other one is Casey, the socially anxious Pokémon, but the little guy is a little socially anxious and basically won't go out all day. If you are curious about it, you can call its name and say hello every day. After a long time, it will respond to you," Taylor certainly knew what question the boy wanted to ask.
Casey is an outlier in Taylor's Pokémon orphanage.
As a socially anxious Pokémon, Taylor had never seen Casey except for once when he picked it up.
This little guy basically does everything by relying on its powers. It even teleports to the toilet and then teleports back.
However, Taylor also knew that Casey lived in the quiet corner of the Pokémon orphanage, which was some distance away from the dormitory and could be considered a remote area. Basically no one or Pokémon would go there.
For a socially anxious person like Casey, this is actually the best residence, so Taylor has no intention of changing Casey's location.
"Abra? Wow, this kind of Pokémon," The boy was even more surprised. This is Abra, a psychic Pokémon, very smart and very difficult to catch.
After all, if you encounter other Pokémon, you can fight with them and then find an opportunity to throw the ball to capture them. But it's different with Casey. When this kind of Pokémon sees you, most of the time it will immediately use instant movement to escape.
Therefore, unless you have some skills to prevent her from escaping, it will be difficult to subdue Casey.
This also made the boy more confused. Why would anyone choose to abandon a Pokémon that has a very low probability of being captured?
"Once you've worked in the Pokémon orphanage for a long time, you'll get used to it," Taylor opened the box and took out some medical equipment. This time he bought a family set, which contained some medicine for injuries, antidotes, and so on.
However, the medicine in the Pokémon world is not as magical as in the game. It can only speed up the recovery of Pokémon's injuries. The more expensive the medicine, the better the effect. Antidotes can remove most toxins, but if they are some troublesome toxins, they still need to be dealt with separately.
"Do you know what the most common reason for abandonment I've seen is?" Taylor walked out with the boy. His work was almost done.
The boy asked curiously, "What is it?"
"I don't like it," Taylor's tone was calm, but the boy paused. He really didn't expect that such a reason for abandonment would be the most common one.
The Alliance has been promoting for so long that Pokémon and humans should live in harmony, and that Pokémon are humans' companions, but most people are very casual when it comes to abandoning Pokémon, and a simple "I don't like it" is enough to be a reason.
Taylor looked at the boy's surprised expression and smiled.
Taylor believes this drives his mission to open the Pokémon orphanage, a resolve strengthened by the troubling cases he's encountered.
Some of the cases reported by Officer Jenny on broadcasts can make one's hair stand on end. Those people who lurked online in the previous life and then deliberately tortured animals for fun also exist in this world.
