Pokémon: Trainers Returning from Monster Hunter

After changing into the new leaf cat-themed slippers specially prepared by Orchid, Oreki walked into the house.

A sense of familiarity arises spontaneously.

He came here when he was a child.

"It doesn't seem like there's been much change?"

Oreki said uncertainly.

The appliances, sofa, and coffee table around me are all new, but they don't seem any different from what I remember.

"Yes, the overall layout hasn't changed much."

After finishing the last bite of the crispy waffle cone, Zhu Lan pointed to the top of her head, still wanting more.

"But the first floor has been renovated to make it easier for Garchomp and the others to move around."

The broken tree looked up.

Yes, I was small when I was a child, but now that I'm grown up, my house has also "grown up."

Watching Cynthia release all her Pokémon.

Oreki followed suit, throwing out two Poké Balls.

It just appeared.

Xin Ye Miao vanished in a flash.

It was jumping around in the living room, rubbing against this and sniffing that.

A moment later, it jumped onto Oreki's shoulder and patted his pink paw pads, like a fire lion that had finished surveying its territory.

"Are you really a cat?"

Oreki posed a soul-searching question.

"Meow meow ha!"

I only feel safe when I leave my scent!

Xin Ye Miao argued her case forcefully.

Zhu Lan smiled and said.

"You two have a really good relationship."

"Meow."

(*￣3￣)╭

No, not at all.

"Ibrahimovic, stop hiding, come down, your online friend is looking for you."

Zhu Lan called out towards the stairwell.

The voice just fell.

A pair of furry ears stood up from the darkness.

"Buyi".

"Buyi".

Little Ibuki descended the stairs with a soft thud, as if counting the steps.

Just as she was about to reach Oreki, Shin-chan jumped off her shoulder.

"Meow~"

ヽ(✿ﾟ▽ﾟ)ノ

Hello~

"Buyi!"

Hello there!

Ibu turned around and stuck out its tail.

Xin Ye Miao tilted her head and reacted for a moment before turning around and sticking out her tail.

Splat!

Two fluffy tails touched in mid-air.

For some reason, Oreki thought of the sentence he heard at the meeting: "All life will meet with other life, thus giving birth to new and vibrant existence."

Unfortunately, Cyndaquil's Eevee should also be female.

Taking advantage of the time Eevee and Meowth were getting to know each other, Kirlia set its sights on Lucario.

"Luca".

Using his waveguide to confirm, Lucario confirmed that Kirlia was indeed Ralts, who had once brandished her fist and challenged him to a fight. Lucario greeted her with a smile.

Unexpectedly, just as he raised his hand, a fist teleported right in front of him.

"Luca?!"

boom!

Lucario blocked it with his arms crossed.

"Kirullian, don't fight inside the house."

Oreki held Eevee in one arm and Newleaf in the other, while also reminding Kirlia in the distance.

They're really worried sick.

"Chiruchiru".

I just wanted to say hello to it.

"The sneak attack failed," Kirullian said calmly.

"Luca".

Lucario helplessly shrugged at Cynthia.

Cynthia said, "Lucario said that Kirlia is still the same as before."

"That's right, during training yesterday afternoon, it even said it wanted to fight your Lucario again."

While giving Eevee the same massage as Shin-chan, Oreki said casually.

"Let me tell you, don't let Kirlia's haughty demeanor fool you. After training yesterday, her belly..."

"Chiru!!"

(╯▔Pan▔)╯

Shut up, you little brat!

"Gurgle...gurgle—"

!

The room fell into a deathly silence, and even the chirping of the monk Yuanfa and the cricket outside the house could be clearly heard.

"Um...can you cook?"

Oreki broke the awkward silence by looking at Takeran, whose face was tense.

The latter was eager to try.

But the next moment.

Cyndaquil's Pokémon all shook their heads.

"What are you doing here?" Oreki asked.

Upon hearing this...

The Eevee in his arms began to explain, "Buibui."

Through its vivid performance, Oreki understood.

In short, bamboo orchids are kitchen killers.

Speaking of which, when he was a child, Zhu Lan gave him a burnt orange, insisting that it was cocoa flavored.

"Alright, go ahead, Shin-chan!"

Once Oreki realized what was happening, he immediately tossed Shin-chan, who was on his right, into the kitchen.

"Make some extra for your little sister, so her stomach won't growl later."

"Meow!"

Received, meow!

"Chi-ru-!"

Shut up, you little brat!

Kirlia thought the awkward situation had ended with the little farce, but then the trainer brought it up again, and she couldn't take it anymore.

He teleported in front of Oreki and unleashed a barrage of "Kirukirukiruk" attacks.

Unfortunately, as expected.

Oreki blocked it all with one hand.

Witnessing everything up close, Eevee was so frightened that its ears and tail stood straight up.

(＃°Д°)！ ！ ！

What kind of thing is that for giving yourself a massage?!

The broken tree bowed its head.

Wow, you can even do Anjanathus form?

At the dinner table half an hour later.

Looking at the simple yet delicious-looking dish, Zhu Lan's nostrils twitched, and then she quietly swallowed.

With such delicious food in front of her, the frustration of not being allowed to cook just now vanished instantly.

But before dinner, she felt there was something she had to ask clearly.

"You don't seem to like providing energy cubes for Pokémon?"

"Um."

Oreki responded and picked up Shin-chan, who was trying to steal some food.

"Actually, the food it makes is quite good."

"I understand, it's one of those special dishes that can burn or paralyze Pokémon, but..."

"But those dishes aren't convenient," Oreki chimed in.

"Huh? You realized that?" Zhu Lan was taken aback.

"Yeah, Kirlia... don't glare at me yet, I'm talking about something serious."

Seeing that the violent maniac had suppressed his violent urges, Oreki continued.

"After Kirlia evolved, three meals a day were clearly not enough. It definitely needs more convenient energy cubes to supplement its training."

This brings us to a cutting-edge product from the Pokémon world – the Berry Mixer.

Place the proportioned tree fruits into the machine, manually control the stirring speed and mixing time, and thus produce energy blocks.

Generally speaking, the energy blocks produced are more energy-efficient than the berries placed inside.

This is the most technologically advanced part of the Pokémon world.

Conservation of energy?

nonexistent!

In the anime, May once created an Energy Cube that could feed Munchlax based on Professor Oak's recipe.

It was nothing short of a miracle.

In fact, the cat food dishes made by Xinye Miao have a similar effect.

Putting aside the enhancement effects, the two kids agreed that the cat food was more filling than the same recipe made by Oreki.

However, as Ralts evolves, the training intensity also increases, and basic cat food becomes insufficient.

This is where portable energy blocks come in as a supplement.

No, you've misunderstood.

Zhu Lan shook her head.

"What I'm trying to say is, if Xinye Miao really has this unique talent, why not try to make it make some easy-to-carry food?"

"For example, sandwiches like those in Padia, or even..."

"Even letting Newleaf Cat control the berry mixer to create energy cubes?!"

Oreki immediately realized what was happening.

Yes!

He had been caught in a misconception, a misconception that arose after spending too much time in the New World.

—Cat food must be cooked with fire and a pot.

All I can say is that the head chef of New World also did it!

But no one said it had to be this way!

Newleafy's ability is granted by the system; as long as it's the Pokémon that cooks, it doesn't matter what it cooks.

Zhu Lan looked at Xin Ye Miao, who was struggling to sneak meat into her mouth using her tail.

"Want to give it a try?"

"Meow meow meow?"
