Elf-like Life

Chapter 19, Packing Up

And so, my first training assignment is finally complete!

After that, the musical note parrot didn't have anything else to say; the two children just needed to go home and prepare.

On the way back, Pikachu was overjoyed, wagging its little tail excitedly.

It's clear that he's really looking forward to the training at the Fat Koopa Guild.

Soon the two little ones crossed Treasure Town again and returned to Megalodon Cliff.

The sound of gentle waves could be heard.

Coincidentally, there was a gentle sea breeze all afternoon and evening. As evening approached, the giant claw crabs came out again, blowing strings of transparent bubbles near the reef.

One bubble.

Two,

Three.

The bubbles quickly reflected the profiles of the two little ones, and it was clear they were busy.

Since Pikachu is going to the Jigglypuff Guild for training tomorrow, it decided to use all the apples, flour, eggs, and other supplies it had at home, along with a considerable amount of dried fish.

He wanted to prepare a grand feast, like the Manchu Han Imperial Feast.

First, to celebrate the Starry Night Expedition Team's official entry into the Fat Koding Guild.

Secondly, we should use up all the ingredients while we're at the Fat Koopa Guild, since we won't be back for a month after we go there.

"Hey, hey, little fire dragon!"

"We'll be using your tail several times today; we're planning to cook five dishes, one for each meal tonight."

The joy never faded. Charmander could tell that Pikachu had finally fulfilled its long-cherished wish and had one day taken a long trip to the Jigglypuff Guild.

So even cooking became a source of great excitement for me.

"Little Charmander, make your flames bigger!"

Boom boom boom—

"Keep it on low heat this time, then turn it up to medium heat later. It needs to be on extra high heat before it's done!"

Boom boom boom boom boom—

It must be said that these few times of using its tail to control the cooking temperature have gradually made the little dragon familiar with the secret of controlling the flames.

After transforming into a Charmander, you must quickly master this body, especially the flames that burn on your tail all year round, which are part of your own body and are the easiest to control.

Simply put, if you want a small fire, disperse the power that was concentrated in one point, and then let the tail swing downwards.

To get a medium flame, simply lift the tail slightly and apply a little force.

As for large fires and catastrophic fires, all efforts need to be concentrated on one point, namely the tail end, to allow it to burn intensely.

"Almost done! The Manchu Han Imperial Feast is about to be served!"

The giant crabs' bubbles began to decrease, and the afterglow of the setting sun grew fainter.

Three,

Two,

One...

As night fell, the two little ones were quite hungry.

Soon, a Manchu-Han Imperial Feast cooked by Pikachu was completed!

The following dishes are all cooked with common ingredients.

Special apple pizza, Wangzai milk baked apple, dried fish and vegetable salad, candied apple, 5 apple egg tarts, and two small cups of the cheapest and most delicious soda.

"What a feast!"

Moreover, dinners in the Pokémon world are all about ritual, with people wearing small napkins and pouring sparkling fruit juice into their glasses.

Glug glug, glug~

Charmander gave this dinner a 100% thumbs up. With such a cute, strong, and capable Pikachu around, it's impossible not to gain weight.

"Emmmmm, let's eat!"

"Emmmmm——"

Charmander devoured apple pizzas one after another, then stuffed egg tarts and other treats into his mouth. Seeing how happily he ate, Pikachu became even more excited.

"Little Charmander, I really have to thank you today."

"Hey hey hey?"

"Without you, I would never have dreamed I'd have the chance to visit the Fat Koopa Guild, and we even successfully launched the Incentive Learning Program, yay~"

The little dragon took a big bite of the candied apple, but that wasn't really what he was thinking:

"That Pikachu..."

"We shouldn't have been in such a rush when we signed the contract. I mean, we should have thought about it some more. After all, there are a lot of unfair contracts out there, and it would be terrible if we fell into one."

The sensitive Pikachu thought Charmander was angry, so it immediately lowered its head and refused to drink its sparkling juice.

"Little Charmander, I'm sorry >human <~"

Hey hey hey hey!

"Back then, I really wanted to join the Jigglypuff Guild, and it was such a rare opportunity, so I just like you, Charmander, and mustered up my courage and went for it without thinking twice!"

"I signed it!!"

"I'm so sorry, I didn't consider your feelings."

Although it sounded a bit serious, Charmander didn't blame him at all.

Now that the contract has been signed, the Starry Night Expedition Team will officially begin a series of trials within the Fat Koopa Guild.

The most important thing right now is to successfully fulfill this contract and earn a certain amount of gold coins as soon as possible while accumulating guild contribution points, so that they can be used to investigate my background in the Great Library.

"No, Pikachu, don't think that way."

"Just like you said, our expedition team has just been established and still needs to gain experience."

"The Fat Koops Guild is definitely the best choice. It would be best if the contract didn't have any traps, so we could achieve a win-win situation quickly."

Pikachu raises its little head again, and its familiar smile reappears:

"I'm glad you're not angry, Charmander. Let's finish eating and start packing up."

"Tomorrow I'll officially begin my training at the Jigglypuff Guild~"

As for preparations

Actually, there wasn't much to take before leaving. Pikachu's house didn't have many things to begin with, and the Jigglypuff Guild would provide food, clothing, and lodging. The most important thing was to pack up your bedding.

Speaking of bedding,

Pikachu rummaged through the storage space several times, and it took a lot of effort to finally find the old bedding.

There are exactly two.

Although the bedding is old, it is made of warm pure cotton, and it is still soft to use even after being stored for a long time, which shows that it is of good quality.

The most outrageous feature is that there are two shuriken prints on the rolled-up quilt, and this pattern paired with the dark green quilt is slightly comical.

Forehead,

Could this be bedding from Konoha Village?

Actually, these are two quilts that Teacher Kakachu gave to Pikachu a long time ago.

Since it's not autumn yet and we don't usually cover it, Pikachu simply left it in the warehouse to gather dust.

This blanket is quite old; back when Pikachu used it, he was a little Pikachu who always liked to make a fuss while sleeping.

The little dragon was instantly filled with curiosity:

"Pikachu, do these two bedding rolls have so many stories behind them? And what's with the strong ninja theme on these blankets?"

Pikachu scratches its little head:

"Oh dear, I had this covered when I was little. Later, Kakachu-sensei just gave it to me. Charmander, if you don't mind, you can take it with you tomorrow."

Charmander nodded, then used the hemp rope he found to tie up the two bedding rolls, and together with Pikachu, tidied up the other odds and ends.

The two little ones then busied themselves for a short while, and everything, including the bedding, was ready.

"Time to sleep. I need to get up early tomorrow, pack my bedding, and head to the Fat Koopa Guild~"

Charmander wiped the sweat from its head with its paws, and so did a slightly tired Pikachu.

"Okay, let's go to bed early tonight and do our best tomorrow!"

Finally, Charmander and Pikachu gave each other a high five next to the haystack, ready to lie down and go to sleep.

"Starry Night Expedition Team, keep it up tomorrow!" (X2)

"Then I'll tell you first, Charmander~"

"Okay, Pikachu, goodnight too!"

The night is still beautiful; a gentle breeze blows, and the stars shine on the sea.

zzZZZZZZZZZ……

zzZZZZZZZZZ……

August 8.8th was a wonderful weekend. The leaders decided to go on vacation to Sokcho next week. Sokcho is located on the East Sea coast of South Korea. The scenery on the East Sea coast is quite different from the South Sea coast of Busan. I've never been there before, but it's very famous. We've booked the hotel first. That's it! The two little ones are about to embark on a new journey. Finally, a huge thank you to all the readers! I'd also like to continue asking for your votes, rewards, favorites, and investments. That's all for this chapter!
