Chapter 239 Bobo's Flying House
It seemed the boy in the green hat had misunderstood, and Ash explained the whole story to him.
"I'm so sorry, you're all so kind, thank you for saving Ken."
The boy quickly bowed to thank him, and the Pidgey in Ash's arms immediately flew happily onto his shoulder upon seeing the boy.
"Are you the trainer of this Pidgey?"
Ash had never seen Pidgey wearing a postman's hat before.
"No, this is just our shop's messenger Bobo. My name is Xiaodu, and I'm from Bobo Flying House."
The boy's name is Xiaodu, and I wonder if he can summon the Shenlong.
"Are the Pidgeys like the Pidgeys in the city?" Ash asked, pointing to the Pidgeys in the sky.
Bobo's figure can be seen everywhere in this town.
Moreover, every household has a dedicated terrace on its balcony for the Bobos to rest on.
When Bobo flies over there, it will tap on the window with its beak, and the residents inside will immediately come to open the window and take their letters from the small bucket that Bobo is carrying on its back.
The Bobo here has become deeply integrated into the lives of the town's residents.
"Yes, that's right. Sending letters or documents and small items to islands that are far from the mainland and do not have regular air routes is called 'messenger islanders'."
Xiao Du stroked Ken's shoulder with a proud expression.
"My grandfather, Genjiro, was a master at training the 'Pop' (a type of pod) to deliver messages; everyone called him the Pop expert."
"This is just Popo, the little Popo Ken that Grandpa trained to deliver messages."
"It often gets lost during training, which is why I have to go out and look for it."
To be able to successfully train so many Bobo birds and develop their daily functions, Xiao Du's grandfather is indeed an expert and can be called a legendary bird trainer.
As far as Ash knows, there have been attempts to get Pokémon to live in harmony with humans in cities.
However, they simply and crudely placed wild Pokémon in the city, merely setting up protective shields and a few protected areas without any other preparations.
The end result is that Pokémon are no longer able to live freely, and humans also feel that their living space has been encroached upon.
The conflict between the two sides escalated rapidly, having a completely negative effect.
Ash was immediately intrigued by the idea that Lance's grandpa was the true answer to the coexistence of humans and Pokémon.
Perhaps Ash should learn a thing or two from Lance.
If Pokémon could be perfectly integrated into the functions of city life, perhaps my Dark City could also be transformed into a wonderful metropolis where humans and Pokémon coexist.
To thank Ash and Misty for saving Ken, Lance immediately invited them to his shop for a visit.
As the only family in the city with the ability to tame Poppo, Wataru's family possesses all the Message Poppo.
The store even occupies an entire building, and the Bobo House where the Bobos live is located on the top floor of this building.
"As a bird-like Pokémon, Pidgey's residence on the top floor allows it to move freely."
While introducing Ash and his friends, Wataru led them into the cabin.
At this moment, Watari's grandfather, Genjiro, was holding a map by the large window of the room, confirming the mission objectives with a group of Popo who were about to set off.
"This time, Puda is going to the same island as before, while Xiaoxin's destination is here—"
When he gave the orders, he was very straightforward and simple, and the Bobos seemed to understand and immediately flew off with the goods to be delivered.
"Amazing!" Little AI noticed that these Pidgeys weren't even caught with Poké Balls.
It's amazing that they can be trained to be so obedient; Genjiro is quite skilled.
"Oh, we have a guest."
Only then did Genjiro notice Ash and his friends' arrival, and he approached them with a kind smile.
After learning that it was Ash who saved Ken, Genjiro invited them to the shop for tea as a token of his gratitude.
"Mr. Genjiro, how did you train these Poppies to perfectly reach their destination?"
"It seems you haven't tamed them either. Why are these Poppies so obedient? Is there some kind of technique?"
""
"And why not put it in a Poké Ball?"
As soon as he sat down, Ash couldn't wait to ask Genjiro for the secrets of training Pidgey.
"Ash, this might be someone's secret technique. Isn't it a bit inappropriate to ask so directly?" Misty quickly interrupted Ash to continue asking questions.
But Genjiro didn't care; he was happy to see that young people were interested in this kind of thing.
"It's okay, it's not a secret."
"Most of the Pidgeys are wild Pokémon that I have raised myself, and some I have personally hatched from their egg stage."
"I am always by their side in their daily lives, so even if I don't subdue them, they will still obey my commands."
"And getting them to successfully complete the delivery task is even simpler."
"I usually use an airship to take the Politoes around little by little, teaching them to find their way, until all the Politoes know the way."
"They're all clumsy methods."
He took a sip of tea and spoke in a calm tone, as if all the hardships were nothing to him.
But Xiaozhi knew that the most difficult method was the clumsy one.
While Pokémon are generally more intelligent than ordinary animals, not every Pokémon possesses high intelligence.
Not to mention that these Pokémon themselves possess formidable fighting power, which is easier said than done.
Just then, Xiaodu suddenly remembered that she hadn't cleaned Bobo's little house yet.
He quickly got up to say goodbye, picked up a broom, and happily led Bobo and Ken out of the living room.
"Xiao Du really likes Bobo, and she'll definitely become an excellent Bobo expert in the future."
From his interactions with the Pidgeys, Ash could tell that the boy genuinely liked them.
"That kid kept saying he wanted to inherit my Bobo Flying House in the future, but I never agreed."
"I plan to keep the flying house running until my generation, then I'll take it down."
"Oh, why? It's rare for a child to like it so much."
Normally, these kinds of special small shops close down because the descendants don't want to continue running them.
It's quite rare to see a grandson like Genjiro who has a strong desire to take over, but whose elders insist on keeping him in seclusion.
"That's such a waste, considering how well it was done." Ash was puzzled.
"Your family owns the only Bobo Flying House in the entire area, so you must be making a lot of money."
"After all, they already have this entire building as storefronts, why would they want to close it down?"
But Genjiro just sighed and said helplessly.
"The reason I run this flying house is because the construction of the city took up the habitat of the Popos."
"For a long time, the Poppo were at odds with humans, and the residents and the Poppo had come to hate each other."
"I couldn't stand by and watch this situation any longer, so I offered to try adopting these Bobos myself."
"Once the flying house is built, my fees won't be high, which is why the 'Sending Message Bobo' is so popular in the city."
"This building was originally an abandoned building. To thank me for my contributions, the citizens spontaneously renovated it and handed it over to me to manage."
Oh, I see. But I can understand it.
After all, there are plenty of wild Pokémon around his stronghold, Dark City.
In the rapid development of cities, humans inevitably encroach on Pokémon habitats.
After pausing for a moment, Genjiro continued.
"Ash, didn't you ask me before why I didn't catch Pidgey and the others?"
"Actually, it is because Pidgeys have been kept in their wild state that I have been able to apply to the League Central for a special wild Pokémon protection allowance."
"Normally, the Bobo Flying House only makes a meager profit of 4,000 Alliance Coins per month, which is just a little more than our family's living expenses."
"But the construction of the flying house has indeed helped many people in need, and the Bobos have a place to live."
"Thinking of people's smiling faces makes me feel very meaningful and happy, so I have persisted for decades until now."
At this moment, a rare look of melancholy appeared on Genjiro's face.
"But times have changed, and the world is progressing very quickly."
"Even email exists now, so the old-fashioned messaging system will probably be phased out in the future."

"And it really is too hard, you have to stay with these boobs no matter the wind or rain."
"I can't sleep every day until the last Bobo comes back. I even stayed in the Bobo's house with Bobo on the day my grandson was born."
"I really don't want my grandson to have to suffer so much in the future."
Although he said these words, Genjiro's face was full of reluctance.
"Perhaps when my body can no longer hold on, I will apply to the alliance to transfer these Bobo to a suitable protected area for their survival and close this Bobo hut completely."
At this point, Ash finally couldn't help but interject.
"Mr. Genjiro, why don't you reconsider? I don't think the 'Send the Message Pop' will be eliminated."
"I see that the residents in the city really like the Bobos, and Xiao Du also mentioned that some remote islands nearby still rely on the Bobos to deliver documents and items."
"Why not try to evolve the Bobos? That way, not only can we expand our business scope, but we might even be able to take on delivery services."
When Ash visited Pidgey's house before, he found that many Pidgey were raised very well.
If this is done, isn't it just air logistics? The future prospects are huge, and it won't be eliminated even in the information explosion era.
But Genjiro shook his head.
"Actually, I've thought about similar things. Many Bobos, through long-term training, have naturally accumulated enough experience to evolve."
"But they all voluntarily stopped evolving for my sake."
"Because when Pidgey evolves into Pidgeotto, its size increases and its appetite increases, so the living space it needs also increases exponentially."
"These costs are beyond my means."
This city is not a metropolis; it's already at its limit to support the small and exquisite Bobo Messenger.
"Not to mention, if you want to transport heavy cargo, you might need to evolve into a Pidgeot first —"
It all comes down to money, but Xiao Zhi has plenty of money.
"Don't worry about that, Mr. Genjiro, leave it to me." Ash genuinely felt that this Pidgey Flying House had a very promising future.
Genjiro did have a tough time in the past, but it was precisely because of this long-term companionship that the fans trusted him completely.
In the wild, it would be impossible for Ash to find so many Pidgeottos or Pidgeots to build an aerial logistics system.
Bobo is relatively docile, but Pidgey and Pidgeot are considered large birds of prey.
The fact that it can maintain a love-hate relationship with the big-billed finches shows that it is inherently very wild.
It's fine to let them battle after being captured normally, but don't even think about using these Pidgeys and Pidgeots for logistics business.
Perhaps Dragonite, with its intelligence comparable to that of humans, could be well-suited for aerial logistics operations.
But using Dragon Express to deliver packages is really too extravagant.
Even Ash wouldn't dare to think about such a thing.
However, Genjiro's side has many Pidgeys that can evolve a long time ago.
They are all seasoned delivery veterans; once the ones who need to evolve are evolved, the framework of an air logistics company can be built in the blink of an eye.
Thinking of this, Xiao Zhi could no longer restrain his restless hands and slowly reached into his clothes.
"Mr. Genjiro, I've got something good for you."
Seeing the young man in front of him, who was about the same age as his grandson, suddenly acting mysteriously, Genjiro thought to himself with amusement.
It's not like Xiaodu suddenly pulled out a game console, is it?
"What is it? A new game?"
"More exciting than a game!"
Ding ding ding! Doraemon pulled out a magical tool covered in zeros from his pocket.
A check with a face value of four million Alliance Coins!
This was a reward Ash received from the League after he defeated Team Rocket.
Because many members of Team Rocket at the time were wanted criminals, Xiao Zhi wouldn't miss out on this money.
All in all, there were over four million Alliance Coins, which we just took out and used.
Xiao Zhi felt very comfortable because he didn't need to use his own savings.
As he received the check and counted the zeros, Genjiro's hands trembled slightly with disbelief.
"Ah, this is—" This was the first time he had ever seen so much money.
"I want to buy this Bobo Flying House in my own name. It would be such a shame to close down such a meaningful place just because of a lack of money."
"I plan to expand it into an air logistics company."
"Furthermore, I believe that Mr. Genjiro's experience in raising Popo over the years is also invaluable."
"Are you interested in becoming a technical consultant for the logistics company, specifically responsible for training Bobo? The monthly salary is 40,000. What do you think?"
"1
Ash's Pidgeot happens to be the leader of a large flock of Pidgeottos, and every spring it lays a lot of eggs, making it perfect for raising.
"After the acquisition, this original cabin can continue to be run by Xiaodu as a training base for Bobo." Xiaozhi offered very generous terms.
It was even a little too friendly, leaving Genjiro somewhat at a loss for words.
"Could it be that I'm hallucinating because I'm too attached to Bobo and this shop?" Genjiro suddenly slapped himself.
Xiaozhi and Xiaoxia quickly stepped forward to stop him and tell him to calm down.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for achieving the achievement "Jokyo Tycoon": Use money to win over partners three times in the Johto region (Ji Ke: Howard: Genjiro, watch out for this way of using money!)]
【获得奖励：联盟币+5000；体力+1；防御+1；特防+1；索财灵的硬币+300】
Upon hearing the system notification, Xiao Zhi knew that this time it was a sure thing.
"It's alright, Mr. Genjiro. You can think about it some more; you don't need to answer immediately."
But unexpectedly, Xiaodu suddenly pushed the door open and came in.
"Grandpa, something terrible has happened! Many of our Bobos have suddenly disappeared!"
