Lu An packed his schoolbag and gestured to Hui Zi to talk as they walked.

Outside the classroom, Keiko hesitated, seemingly finding it difficult to speak.

Seeing this, Lu An quietly pressed his Poké Ball and released Espeon.

Lu An winked at SunEevee.

“Buyi”.

{*≧?≦}

Espeon circled behind Keiko, its forked tail gently resting on her waist, a soft psychic energy enveloping her.

This is an advanced use of Espeon's psychic abilities.

Soon, with the help of her mental powers, Keiko calmed down.

"My starter Pokémon and I usually get along quite well, but there's one thing that really bothers me."

"It's just that it always refuses my routine care, and sometimes it even rebels against me."

"I'm actually having a real headache with this nursing assignment from Natsume-sensei."

As she spoke, Huizi looked at Lu An with teary eyes:

"Lu An, I noticed that your Espeon is very obedient to you, and it's obvious that you take excellent care of it. Could you teach me how to do it?"

When Espeon, which was silently following behind, heard Keiko's praise, it immediately wagged its tail happily.

"Buyi~"

(*′?`*)

Lu An then realized that Hui Zi was concerned about this matter.

Lu An reached out and patted Hui Zi's bun:

"Of course, no problem. How about today? Guangbu had a fight yesterday, so it's time to clean things up."

Seeing that Lu An agreed so readily, Huizi was overjoyed: "Thank you very much."

......

Having made an agreement with Huizi, Lu An went back to his dormitory and brought down the tools he usually used to care for the two Eevee dogs.

Huizi went back to her dormitory to get some things.

The two then returned to the academic building together.

As a Pokémon breeding profession, this place naturally has rooms for Pokémon care.

"Come forth, Light Cloth, Moon Cloth."

"Come out, scallion duck."

Three beams of light flashed, and three Pokémon appeared in the room.

Lu An looked at Huizi's Pokémon in surprise: "It's Farfetch'd!"

A yellow-billed duck with brownish-gray feathers, standing on two legs, holding a large scallion in its wing, was looking at Lu An with disdain.

"Gah!"

(What are you looking at!)

After emerging from its Poké Ball, Farfetch'd immediately began to look around.

When it saw the nursing tools placed next to it, its expression changed immediately, and it looked at Huizi with a wary expression.

Huizi scratched her freckles and gently comforted her:

"Big Green Onion Duck, how about we give you some routine care later?"

As she spoke, Huizi reached out to remove the green onion from the duck's wing.

"Quack quack!"

Seeing this, the big green onion duck jumped up and broke free from Huizi's hands.

"Hey, little green duck, don't run away!"

"Quack quack!"

Then came a flurry of ducks flying and jumping.

"Light Cloth, Telekinesis!"

"Buyi~"

An invisible superpower filled the room, quickly fixing Farfetch'd and Keiko in mid-air.

Ibrahimovic gently placed the man and the duck back on the ground.

Lu An shook his head helplessly:

"Now I know why fart ducks never seem to get routine care."

Huizi pouted, looking a little embarrassed.

Lu An didn't tease Huizi too much, but instead asked:

"Don't touch its green onions yet. Did you bring the things I asked you to prepare beforehand?"

"I brought it!"

Upon hearing Lu An's words, Huizi nodded repeatedly, swaying her bun hairstyle from side to side.

Keiko took a plush toy out of her bag:

"This is Farfetch'd's favorite spot besides its Poké Ball."

Lu An nodded: "Give it to it, let it lie down."

The farfalle duck, which had initially been wary of the grooming tools, suddenly brightened up when it saw its own duck nest:

"Gah!"

The big green onion duck pounced into its loving little nest and settled into a comfortable position.

Huizi looked at the leisurely-looking green onion duck and was somewhat puzzled:

"What's the point of this?"

"You usually take Farfetch'd out of its Poké Ball and then immediately give it a bath and trim its nails, right?"

Upon hearing Lu An's words, Hui Zi's cheeks flushed slightly, and the freckles seemed to fade a little.

Clearly, Lu An was right.

Lu An shook his head: "Pokémon care is a job that requires patience, so you can't rush it."

"Some Pokémon are wary when they first arrive in a new environment. Whatever you do at this time will provoke their dislike."

"The best way is to put some familiar and dependent things in the new environment to help it relax."

"Not only do you not provide it with a familiar environment, but you also take away the green onion it relies on most, so it will naturally rebel against you."

Huizi suddenly realized: "That's why you asked me to bring this duck nest."

Lu An nodded: "The duck nest is filled with the smell of scallion duck, which is the best thing to make it relax."

"Of course, just having familiar things isn't enough. You brought a blanket, right?"

Huizi nodded repeatedly and handed the blanket to Lu An.

Lu An went around to the back of the relaxed-looking giant green onion duck and then wrapped it tightly in a blanket, layer upon layer.

"Gah? Gah gah!"

When the giant green onion duck realized it was restrained, it instinctively tried to struggle.

Seeing this, Lu An looked at Hui Zi and said, "Take out its favorite snacks."

Huizi quickly did as instructed.

"Big green onion duck, look, it's your favorite roasted duck leg!"

"Gah."

(o﹃o)

Lu An looked at the drooling green onion duck in his arms with a shocked expression.

No, is this green onion duck of yours even authentic?

Other people's green onion ducks either like green onions or other stem plants, why the hell do you like eating duck meat?!

In short, no matter how many flaws Lu An had, Hui Zi finally managed to calm the green onion duck down.

Lu An gestured towards the giant green onion duck wrapped in a blanket:

"Huizi, isn't now the perfect time to clean its paws?"

Huizi's eyes lit up. Yes, the green onion duck was wrapped up, which meant it was powerless to resist.

So Keiko quickly took out the cleaning tools.

Lu An controlled the giant green onion duck with one hand and fed it a roasted duck leg with the other.

"When you are doing your daily care for it, if it shows resistance, feed it something it likes, and repeat this process."

"This way, it will associate 'nursing' with 'eating good food' and won't think of nursing as something unpleasant."

"That is, the so-called 'Pavlov's Dog'."

Huizi, who was being cared for, looked up:

"A Babu Downer's dog? What's that? Can Babu Downer keep dogs?"

"...Never mind that, clean up your green onion duck."

"Oh."

Soon, Huizi finished cleaning the green onion duck's feet, and then, following the same procedure, completed the other nursing work under Lu An's guidance.

Compared to the leek duck that used to struggle to survive every time it was cared for, this time it even had the leisure to wave its leek around.

It gives one the feeling of "I am being served".
