In the living room, Bewear held Kawaki down on a clean stool, not letting him help, while it happily held a broom and continued to clean the abandoned Breeding House.
Kawaki: "…"
The small sun floating above Bewear's head hadn't disappeared, which meant this Bewear was still in a joyful mood.
However, there was only one broom in the Breeding House at the moment, so he couldn't help even if he wanted to.
Since they had decided to reopen this Breeding House and inn, some preparatory work had to be done before officially opening.
As is well known, for a shop to grow and succeed, the most important factor is its geographical location.
This factor almost determines the shop's customer flow.
Although a Breeding House is different from other shops, if it's located in a remote corner, it's unlikely that Trainers would go out of their way to visit.
While Bewear was cleaning, Kawaki got up and went outside the Breeding House.
What greeted his eyes was a wide avenue stretching into the distance.
His original owner's memories told Kawaki that this Breeding House was located on the main road between Meteor Falls and Fallarbor Town, and at the end of the road were the famous exploration spots, Meteor Falls and Fallarbor Town.
The Breeding House stood here very conspicuously; if Trainers didn't deliberately take a detour, they would almost certainly pass by here.
Fallarbor Town, a small agricultural town, is located in the northwest of the Hoenn region, most famous for the Contest Hall located there, where a continuous stream of Coordinator Trainers would come from all over.
And Meteor Falls goes without saying; not only are there many rare Pokémon there, but also various fossils and meteorites, attracting Trainers to visit almost every day.
This also meant that the Breeding House would almost never lack customers.
While contemplating, Kawaki saw three young Trainer boys and girls traveling together approaching from the end of the road, seemingly just passing by.
They were very curious to see the Breeding House's doors wide open.
"Huh? There's a Breeding House here?"
"It looks like it's been abandoned…"
The group noticed Kawaki standing at the entrance.
"There's even a Pokémon cleaning inside!" one of the girls holding an Eevee exclaimed in surprise.
It turned out that Bewear hadn't found Kawaki in the living room, so it followed his scent out.
Kawaki's gaze swept over the Eevee.
Pokémon: Eevee
Gender: Male
Ability: Adaptability
Moves: Tackle, Tail Whip, Growl, Covet, Sand Attack
Status: Healthy
Mood: ️ ️ ️ ▒
Joy Value: -20
Friendship: 0 (You are strangers in this world)
Description: Another troublesome day — Eevee.
Kawaki's gaze lingered on the small dark cloud raining heavily above Eevee's head.
This Eevee's mood didn't seem too great!
The girl asked curiously, "Hello! Are you the owner of this Breeding House?"
Kawaki nodded slightly: "Hello, I am, but the Breeding House is currently being set up and cannot provide services yet. If you need anything, please come back the day after tomorrow."
The girl kept this in mind, then turned and left with her companions.
Kawaki felt that he needed to go to the nearest Fallarbor Town as soon as possible.
Because there was nothing in the Breeding House right now, even their dinner was a problem.
And not just food, but also various daily necessities, bedding, tools, and so on.
However, the journey to Fallarbor Town from the Breeding House would take half a day, so if they left now, they probably wouldn't be back until midnight…
Kawaki frowned, a little troubled.
At times like this, it would be great to have a Pokémon for transportation.
"Goo?"
Bewear keenly noticed its young owner's furrowed brows.
Kawaki: "I want to go to town, but it's too far. If we walk, we won't be back until midnight."
"Goo…" Bewear started to think, and soon, a small light bulb lit up above its head: "Goo!"
It had a solution!
While Kawaki was stunned, Bewear leaped to his side, its furry arm scooping him up into a hug, then it accelerated and charged straight into the distance.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!"
Kawaki was startled.
Isn't this the way that Bewear in the anime hugs the Team Rockets Trio?!
"Goo~!"
Bewear happily comforted Kawaki, indicating that it was fine, and then dashed away.

In the northwest of the Hoenn region, the massive Mt. Chimney stood tall, occasionally spewing volcanic ash, which made the surrounding vegetation grow exceptionally lush.
The verdant Fallarbor Forest embraced this volcano, and the land nourished by volcanic ash was very suitable for crop Growth, leading many residents to settle here, forming an agricultural town with small fields, Fallarbor Town.
"Food, bedding, Pokémon care tools, changes of clothes…"
Kawaki silently thought about the things he needed to buy on this trip.
He only had two thousand alliance coins, which was really not enough, so he had to be frugal.
But then again, logically, his original owner's parents should have received compensation for their death in the sea accident, so why didn't the original owner have any memory of it?
Kawaki sighed, leading Bewear through the department store.
Bewear pushed a supermarket cart behind him.
Kawaki kept putting things into it.
10 buckets of instant noodles, 20 bags of instant ramen, 1 bag of flour, 30 eggs, 1 bottle of cooking oil, 2 hams, 10 potatoes, 5 quilts, 1 bucket of Pokémon biscuits and snacks…
Besides these, there were various seasonings and some daily necessities.
"I also need to buy some vegetable and fruit seeds!" Kawaki thought of the courtyard where fruit trees were planted.
This way, they could be self-sufficient in vegetables and wouldn't need to buy them in town anymore, saving some money.
"It's a pity there are no Grass-type Pokémon."
His original owner's memories told Kawaki that Grass-type Pokémon could use Grass-type energy to care for flowers and trees, which could make vegetables mature faster and grow better.
However, there were quite a few Grass-type Pokémon in the forest near the Breeding House; he could just catch one later, Kawaki thought.
Catching Pokémon required Poké Balls, but a regular red and white Poké Ball cost 500 alliance coins. Although it pained him a little, for the development of the Breeding House, Kawaki still gritted his teeth and bought two.
They had food for a few days, and bedding.
With this, the inn part could officially begin operations.
First, they could provide accommodation services to guests, and second, they could offer some simple meals, like ramen.
Once they earned some money, they could slowly furnish the guest rooms, upgrade the bedding, diversify the food, and buy other things!
As for the Breeding House part, as a Transmigrator, Kawaki possessed a large amount of information about Pokémon in his mind, plus his golden finger, so teaching some moves shouldn't be a problem.
Looking at the shopping cart full of items, Kawaki felt full of fighting spirit.
These were his capital for settling down in the Pokémon world!
Before returning, Kawaki also bought a small blackboard and chalk. He used the chalk to write down the main services the Breeding House could currently provide on the blackboard.
Breeding House Main Services
Currently Teachable Moves: Baby-Doll Eyes.
Once he put it at the entrance the day after tomorrow, Trainers who needed it would naturally enter the shop.
Kawaki wasn't worried that no one would come, because for Trainers, the more moves a Pokémon mastered, the richer the tactics they could arrange.
Even some inconspicuous moves might be able to turn the tide of battle.
No one minded their Pokémon learning one more move.
On the contrary, if other people's Pokémon knew a move and theirs didn't, that would be different.
On the way back, Kawaki rode in the shopping cart. Bewear pushed him and the cart full of groceries with ease.
By the time they returned to the Breeding House, it was already dark.
Kawaki simply made two bowls of ramen with eggs and ham slices for himself and Bewear in the kitchen.
Kawaki's cooking skills were quite good; he knew this by seeing Bewear drink every last drop of the soup.
"Goo~!"
Bewear was incredibly happy.
Its young owner had grown up; he had become so amazing!
As a Pokémon, although Bewear didn't know what had happened, it was still happy that its young owner was getting better.
This way, they wouldn't have to worry, Bewear thought.
Having been busy all day, Kawaki was very tired. After locking the Breeding House's door, he went to bed early to rest.
After he fell asleep, Bewear stood by the bed, happily watching for a long time, then ran to its own spot to sleep.
Kawaki had a dream.
In a haze, he saw three figures: one small and two large.
Two adults holding a child of about ten years old stood before him, looking at him.
"Please, please take good care of Bewear for me!" the child said with a face full of guilt.
The man beside him sighed and said, "From now on, that child is entrusted to you."
"You're going to run this Breeding House? That's great… that's great… Oh right, as a thank you, I've also prepared a gift for you," the woman beside him said.
"That gift was originally for little Kawaki, but now I'll give it to you! I didn't expect this child to be so distraught as to come looking for us… Sigh, you just turned ten, so that gift should be arriving soon, right?"
"Please accept it well!"
"Thank you, I'm entrusting Bewear to you, please help it!"
"We're leaving, we're leaving this place and going to the spirit world."
With that, the little boy took his parents' hands, turned around, and disappeared into the mist.
Kawaki suddenly sat up in bed, his heart pounding.
Oh my god, ghosts!
"Goo…?"
Bewear woke up too. It saw Kawaki's face full of fear in the darkness, gasping for breath, and instantly understood.
Its young owner had a nightmare again?
Bewear stood up. It walked to Kawaki's side and gently embraced him.
"Goo~"
Don't be afraid, little owner, it's here!
