Wayne had only one thought right now.
Am I really a rich kid, just like Ethan said?
A system from the heavens, luxury cars and beautiful women throwing themselves at me, Legendary Pokemon appearing uninvited, financial empires manipulated at my fingertips, spiritual energy revival...
Cough, wrong script.
Remembering the thirty million Wayne's father borrowed from his uncle, Wayne's dream instantly shattered.
In reality, he was a chef burdened with massive debt, desperately needing to expand the Breeding House.
A Staravia flying into a tree, a Budew burying itself in the dirt, a Burmy hanging from a branch...
A few Pokemon could be sporadically seen in the yard.
Wayne felt they were wild, as they became wary upon seeing the car.
Wayne asked, "Is this place open?"
Fumie nodded. "It's fenced off, but there are a few gaps for wild Pokemon to enter and exit."
His uncle then added, "So, when you take in Pokemon from other Trainers, be careful not to let them run off. However, our Wayne is always cautious, so there's no need to worry."
His uncle drove and introduced the Breeding House to Wayne, heading towards the central building.
"The Breeding House has a total area of about 1.2 square kilometers, divided into five environments: foothills, forest, lake, wetland, and dunes."
Wayne retorted, "You call this a Breeding House? This could be called a Breeding Base, couldn't it?"
His uncle laughed heartily. "Very clever, Wayne. The Jubilife City Mayor really does have that intention. You'll understand once we go inside."
His father, Leon, sounded a bit excited. "And, and, if the Breeding House is managed well, we can even expand!"
Clearly, his father was full of confidence about this.
It can even expand?
Wayne now understood the Jubilife City Mayor's level of importance placed on the Breeding House.
Perhaps he wants to make the Breeding Base a new attraction for Jubilife City?
If he could develop the Breeding Base during his tenure, it would indeed serve as a significant achievement.
After the car stopped, his parents, Wayne, and Lucario got out.
Red maples and cherry blossom trees were planted on both sides of the house, and swings were hung from the thick branches with vines.
"Come out, Arcanine, Metang!"
Seeing how spacious it was here, Wayne directly threw out two Luxury Balls.
Metang cautiously scanned its surroundings with its psychic powers as usual. Such openness made it temporarily unable to adapt.
Arcanine, as soon as it came out, ran straight for the swing.
Arcanine insisted on using its massive body to test the swing's weight capacity.
"You can't get on there—it'll collapse!"
Thankfully, Wayne, possessing the physique of a Heavenly Aura Physique holder, managed to hold it back.
"Woof!"
Arcanine tilted its head, looking utterly bewildered.
(When did the Trainer get so strong?)
Levin, Leon, and Fumie shared the same expression.
Dumbfounded.
"Son, how did you get so strong?"
"I just kept training back home, and it just happened."
Leon looked at his slender son, then compared him to his own flabby physique. He first patted his belly, then scratched his head in confusion.
"Why didn't I get strong from training?"
His big-hearted father couldn't comprehend it.
His optimistic father didn't think much of it and nodded contentedly as he watched Arcanine frolic on the grass, its tongue wagging.
"You all come out too!"
His father and mother each threw out a Poké Ball, and four bursts of red light landed sequentially.
Machamp and Scizor were his father's Pokemon, while Ninetales and Gardevoir were his mother's Pokemon.
"From now on, we'll be living here."
"Cha!" Scizor nodded coolly.
"Machamp!" Machamp responded while striking various bodybuilding poses.
Everyone was already used to it.
Machamp's personality was exactly like his father's: showy, optimistic, and confident.
"Garde~" Gardevoir pressed her palms together and replied to Fumie telepathically.
"Nine~" Ninetales leaned against Fumie, rubbing her palm.
Lucario nodded towards Wayne.
(We're going to explore a bit.)
"Don't go too far."
Lucario nodded towards Arcanine and Metang, then led them away.
"Strange."
Watching Lucario and the others leave, Wayne felt a bit puzzled.
However, his thoughts were quickly interrupted by his uncle's voice.
"The middle part is where you'll live, the left side is the warehouse and power room, and the right side is the special training grounds."
In the middle of the Breeding Base, there was a mansion consisting of three connected houses, with the middle one lower and the two sides higher, forming an 'H' shape.
Wayne raised an eyebrow. "Training grounds? That can't be cheap, can it?"
His uncle nodded. "The Jubilife City Mayor is quite supportive of the Breeding House. It's practically a half-sale, half-gift."
The optimistic Leon chuckled and patted Wayne's shoulder with his large, fan-like hand.
"Don't worry, son! From now on, there will only be maintenance costs, and the League also offers discounts on that!"
Sometimes, Wayne envied his father, who came from such an optimistic family.
Although these things were extravagant, they were still within Wayne's acceptable range.
Until he saw a Pokemon Center here!
To the left rear of the building, there was a Pokemon Center, complete with a Nurse Joy and a Chansey.
"Hello everyone, I'm Nurse Joy, who is permanently stationed here, and this is my partner Chansey."
"Chansey~" Chansey waved its hand.
This was a relatively young Nurse Joy, who looked like she had just graduated from nursing school.
Fumie extended her hand and shook hers.
"Please guide us in the future."
Nurse Joy chuckled. "Please guide me too, everyone."
Wayne was stunned. "This place even needs a Nurse Joy?!"
Nurse Joy smiled sweetly. "Because there are many wild Pokemon nearby, I also have to be responsible for that area."
Even for wild Pokemon, Nurse Joy would treat them, just like Ash and his friends would rescue Pokemon and take them to the Pokemon Center during their travels.
After all, this was the suburbs, and in a real emergency, it would take time to run to the nearest Pokemon Center.
"Breeders and Pokemon doctors are still different, so the League simply sent me over!"
...
While Wayne and his parents were touring the house, Lucario and the others were also conspiring...
Lucario, as the leader, called Arcanine and Metang over.
"Lucario, Lucario."
(Our masters spent a lot of money to open this Breeding House, so we must help as much as we can.)
"Metang?"
(But what can we do?)
(Besides helping out here, we can also...)
Lucario proposed its idea.
"Metang!" (Good idea!)
Metang, with its supercomputer-like brain, analyzed the feasibility of Lucario's proposal.
Arcanine nodded vigorously.
"Woof~"
(Leave it to me, your big brother!)
Lucario's eyes were firm, and it extended its right paw.
Arcanine placed its massive paw on top, and Metang then placed itself on the very top.
Anytime! Anywhere!
Super Detective Team! On the case!
(Very spirited. Meeting adjourned. We'll act tomorrow!)
