Zhuqing Breeding Center.
When it came to moving things, Da You had to be mentioned, so Da You, Comrade Leon, and Machamp went to help load and unload the hatching machines.
"Be careful when moving; take it slow."
"To the left, that room on the left."
Joy and Chansey emerged from the Pokémon Center, exclaiming, "They're going to start breeding Pokemon!"
Wen Hui nodded, "Yes, if there are any problems in the future, we'll have to rely on you."
"Please leave it to me."
"Lucky ~"
Wen Hui smiled at the eager Chansey, "I'll be relying on you too, Chansey."
Li Wei had other things to do.
He first went to pick up the former Arcanine.
"Come on, let's go for a walk."
"Woof!"
Arcanine wagged its fluffy tail.
Seeing Arcanine's joyful eyes, Li Wei nodded with satisfaction; the psychological treatment was showing initial results.
Arcanine's full recovery was just around the corner!
Exercising with Arcanine and playing frisbee greatly helped rebuild its confidence.
From Arcanine's changes, Li Wei thought of Feebas: what kind of exercise could help Feebas regain its confidence?
Li Wei had been pondering this point recently.
Li Wei even considered taking Feebas to participate in competitions, but unfortunately, he couldn't; it was unwilling to leave the rockery fish pond.
Li Wei couldn't force Feebas.
Otherwise, the trust that had been built might collapse in an instant.
Feebas was now like expensive porcelain, needing careful care, to be admired from afar but not to be trifled with.
Fortunately, Feebas could communicate now.
Li Wei's treatment was not without effect.
Besides walking Arcanine, Li Wei also planned to recruit new 'employees' for the Breeding Center.
More accurately, security guards.
Yesterday's incident had sounded an alarm for Li Wei; he had always thought too well of human nature.
Perhaps it was the filter the anime had given him, plus he hadn't encountered many bad people, almost making him forget that there were also bad people here.
The Breeding Center used to be peaceful.
So, they had never hired security guards.
His father was responsible for hiring people, and he was responsible for recruiting Pokemon.
Given the current scale of the Breeding Center, hiring two security guards at the main entrance was not excessive at all.
Considering shifts, they might need to hire four.
Li Wei left this matter to his father and mother; the employees they hired were quite reliable.
Yesterday, Arcanine overcame its fear and ran out of the room it had always stayed in.
Previously, although Arcanine could come out, it would never leave the Breeding Center, not even half a step.
It only ran in the Safari Zone.
But yesterday, an Arcanine that leaped over a group of wild Pokemon showed Li Wei its potential.
Passing by the wetlands and lakes of the Safari Zone, a group of wild Pokemon greeted Li Wei.
"Buizel ~"
"Good morning, Buizel."
"Buizel!"
Buizel waved at Li Wei.
"No battles for now, I have other things to do."
This Buizel was very combative, always liking to challenge strong opponents, even if the outcome was a loss.
Climbing the hill, Li Wei found Luxray sound asleep on a rock.
The energetic Shinxes, upon discovering Li Wei, immediately ran to his side and circled him.
Meows rose and fell.
If it had been when the Breeding Center first opened, these Shinxes would have discharged electricity upon seeing Li Wei.
But now, Li Wei had become familiar with them, and his intermediate affinity made the Shinxes feel even closer.
"Luxray, I have something to discuss with you."
Luxray, feigning sleep on the rock, opened one eye and flicked its tail.
This Luxray had a rather aloof personality, which Li Wei had long been accustomed to.
"I'd like to invite you to join the Breeding Center and protect it alongside Arcanine."
Li Wei had already planned it out last night: build two guard posts opposite and next to the front desk service center.
Guard posts where Arcanine, Luxray, and two security guards could stay together.
With both security guards and Pokemon, if something like yesterday's incident happened again,
There wouldn't be a situation where Da You and Lucario had to rush out of the Breeding Center in a hurry.
"Working hours are from 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM, and then you can go home."
"Besides covering your three meals, you'll also receive extra Energy Cubes monthly. Is that acceptable?"
Li Wei and his team did feed the wild Pokemon, but not every meal.
The wild Pokemon would find berries or other food in the wild to fill their stomachs.
Luxray, still lying down, flicked its tail, as if still considering.
"It's okay, take your time to think about it; it's not too late to give me your answer tomorrow."
Luxray nodded, "Woof!"
After discussing with Luxray, Li Wei continued walking with Arcanine, simply taking a stroll.
It was also to give Arcanine time to think.
The combination of Luxray and Arcanine was already enough; there was no need to recruit additional Pokemon.
Li Wei and Arcanine sat on the summit of the small hill, gazing at the distant Breeding Center.
From here, they could vaguely see the figures of Metagross and Lucario training.
Li Wei gently stroked Arcanine, who was lying beside him.
"Arcanine, you heard it just now, are you willing to protect the Breeding Center, to protect everyone?"
Arcanine's ears twitched involuntarily.
Arcanine's ability was Justified.
Its heart was indeed filled with justice.
Arcanine often recalled its days as a police Arcanine in the elite unit.
In every battle, it would bravely lead the charge.
It handled both riot control and search operations.
Because it was good at everything, it was always first.
When fighting evil forces, Arcanine, with flames burning all over its body, also led other Arcanine in charging into battle.
It always charged at the very front.
It would have become the most dazzling star among police Arcanine.
Because of that damned flashbang and Electrode's self-destruct, it was forced to retire at its peak.
Despite being covered in thick fur, Arcanine's body was covered in scars, its medals of honor.
Arcanine also often had nightmares.
Waking up from nightmares in the silent deep night,
Recalling itself lying in a pool of blood, with only gray and white in the world, and only a roaring sound in its mind.
Recalling that moment, Arcanine involuntarily trembled again; it couldn't control this shiver.
Arcanine hated itself like this.
But at this moment, a warm hand gently stroked its mane, "I'm here."
Without many comforting words,
The man's tone was firm enough.
Arcanine silently opened its mouth, affectionately rested its jaw on his lap, and closed its eyes.
"Woof!"
Arcanine, opening its eyes, raised its head and silently met the man's gaze.
Since Li Wei met Arcanine, it was the first time he had seen such determined eyes.
Li Wei's face broke into a heartfelt smile.
"Is that right? You want to protect everyone?"
"Woof!"
I want to protect everyone!
