Even Sinnoh champions have to work hard.

Steven frowned. A gym leader joining a villainous organization was hardly a pleasant prospect.

P.S. I'll try my best to keep updating; hang in there, my condition will eventually improve.

Chapter 13 Bai Mo and Daigo's Date

The grey organizations in the Hoenn region are slightly different from those in other regions.

In the Hoenn region, the gray organizations are two opposing forces: Team Aqua and Team Magma.

These two gray organizations have extremely similar strengths but completely opposite ideologies, so they are constantly fighting each other. This also means that conflicts in the Hoenn region usually occur more frequently than in other regions.

Small-scale conflicts occur frequently, which often leads Team Aqua and Team Magma to act more hastily and excessively.

For example, in Kanto, although the trainers at the Viridian Gym, apart from Gym Leader Giovanni, are mostly Team Rocket members making cameo appearances, Giovanni himself would not recruit a trainer from another gym to join Team Rocket.

The status of Gym Leaders is actually quite delicate. Although, apart from the Gym Leaders, the other Gym Leaders are not explicitly counted in the League's membership, various implicit benefits indicate that the League treats Gym Leaders as League reserve members. At the very least, Gym Leaders are trainers who stand on the League's side.

Therefore, although the villainous organizations often oppose the alliance, their actions are highly provocative, amounting to nothing more than blatant poaching.

Compared to the Rockets' petty squabbles of stealing Pokémon and getting blasted away, this kind of behavior that weakens the league at its core is something the league can hardly tolerate.

After all, for any organization, people, or rather, talent, are the foundation of everything. Generally speaking, to become a gym leader, one must either have a certain level of skill or be exceptionally talented. This is the kind of talent that any organization needs in the ordinary sense!

Team Magma has already extended its reach to the Rustboro City Gym? That's going too far!

A glint of light flashed in Daigo's eyes. Although he usually acted like he didn't care about the League's mess and only wanted his rock wife, Daigo would actually take action in this kind of situation.

Are we just going to stand by and watch Team Magma get humiliated?

"Let's go find Cuckoo later, just to let them know so we can be prepared. Speaking of which, why doesn't this guy even know that his own gym's trainer has been kidnapped? That's so irresponsible of him."

"I don't know, but let's talk to her first." Kazama Shiramo put down his half-finished coffee, stretched, and pondered what was going to happen next. In fact, Kazama Shiramo was somewhat dissatisfied with this matter.

Perhaps it was dissatisfaction with Dujuan's dereliction of duty, or perhaps it was a sense of responsibility for helping the uncle investigate, but in any case, it's too strange that Dujuan, as a gym leader, was completely unaware that her disciple had joined Team Rocket.

But no matter what Kazama Shiramo thinks, the most important thing is still—to eat.

The Altaria finally returned to its Poké Ball, which relieved Kazama Shiromo of a lot of worry. Upon arriving at the hotel, Daigo and Kazama Shiromo went to a restaurant.

How should we evaluate this?

Kazama Shiramo stroked his chin and looked around. The restaurant looked incredibly beautiful. On a street that wasn't particularly bustling, this glass-house restaurant and the surrounding scenery complemented each other perfectly, making it as beautiful as a world-famous painting.

The male and female receptionists at the entrance were both very good-looking, a pleasure to behold. Combined with the occasional piano music playing, the place felt more like a restaurant or a concert hall, though the name was a bit odd—"Our Twilight"...

It's a very poetic name.

"It looks pretty good, but I wonder if the food will taste good." Daigo nodded in satisfaction, looking like he thought, "You're doing quite well."

"You haven't been here before?" Kazama Shiromo was a little speechless. So you don't even know how to invite others to dinner?

"I heard from a friend that this restaurant is really good, so I've always wanted to try it but never had the chance. But since you're here this time, let's give it a try." Daigo didn't care about anything else and pulled Kazama Shiramo towards the restaurant.

"You two are here for a meal..." The hostess looked at the two people who rushed over with a questioning expression: "Are you here for a meal?"

"Of course!" Daigo said with a bright smile. "I'm here to eat!"

Looking at the handsome Daigo and the equally good-looking Bai Mo he was holding hands with, the hostess suddenly felt her breathing quicken for some reason: "Please come in. Don't worry, our staff are all very professional and there will be no discrimination whatsoever!"

Discrimination? What? Daigo was a little confused. Did it mean the waiters here didn't harbor any hatred?

Daigo didn't think much of it and pulled Kazama Shiro into the restaurant, leaving the hostess behind to sigh softly, "Exciting, so exciting! But it's such a waste! Such a waste! Two super handsome guys together, and they both look like they're dressed in designer brands and are very rich. It's too exciting."

This place... is a bit strange!

Kazama Shiramo casually glanced around from his seat, finding it increasingly strange. It wasn't that the restaurant itself was strange; the interior was exquisitely decorated without a hint of ostentation, and the food looked refined as well. It seemed like a nice place.

But how should I put it? The people dining around us... were all men and women, and the restaurant only had tables for two people to sit facing each other. It was practically, no, it was practically—a couples' restaurant!

Daigo handed the menu to the pretty young lady taking the order, and watched her leave. Kazama Shiramo looked at Daigo's still clueless handsome face and felt a little helpless.

Kazama Shirozuki gently covered his face, leaned closer to Daigo and whispered, "Just between us, Daigo, did you tell that person a man or a woman?"

"It was a woman, I think," Daigo said with a smile. "She said this restaurant is really delicious and wanted to try it with me, but I was extremely busy at the time, with several rare stones waiting for me to dig up, so I turned it down. But since I have the chance today, I'll give it a try!"

This child is beyond saving...

Daigo looked at Kazama Shiramo's pitying gaze and found it very strange: "Why are you looking at me like that? It's so weird, Shiramo!"

"You really have no idea what you're doing!"

Why would you say that?

"Haven't you realized this is a couples' restaurant yet?"

...

P.S. I originally wanted to add an extra chapter today, but then I remembered I have class tomorrow. Hmm, I'll add an extra chapter after class tomorrow afternoon. The reason for the extra chapter is that the Chinese team is awesome, everyone is praising them to the skies!

Drag it

I'm stuck. I really have no experience dating men, and writing this part of the story is making me even more stuck...emmmmmmmmmm, it'll probably be hard to finish writing today, but I'll make up for it with an extra chapter. Purple sweet potato pudding, purple sweet potato pudding, purple sweet potato pudding, purple sweet potato pudding, purple sweet potato pudding, purple sweet potato pudding, purple sweet potato pudding, purple sweet potato pudding, purple sweet potato pudding, purple sweet potato pudding, purple sweet potato pudding, purple sweet potato pudding, purple sweet potato pudding, purple sweet potato pudding, purple sweet potato pudding, purple sweet potato pudding, purple sweet potato pudding, purple sweet potato pudding, purple sweet potato pudding, purple sweet potato pudding, purple sweet potato pudding.

Chapter 14 I really haven't come out.

"Our Twilight," such a poetic name, and the only lights in the restaurant were dim and the exquisite candles on each table.

All of this clearly demonstrates that this is a restaurant with a couples theme!

Men and women were exchanging feelings with each other, some laughing and some shyly, making Kazama Shiramo and Zuvoki Daigo seem somewhat out of place.

Because they are two men, didn't you see the girl next door's eyes practically lighting up?

Should we eat this meal?

Kazama Shiramo and Daigo stared at each other silently, their eyes conveying messages, their lips twitching weakly. What an awkward situation!

Two grown men staring at each other like this in a romantic restaurant, waiting for love to arrive... what a load of rubbish!

It's so embarrassing, it's almost unbearable! This is just...

"Dawu?"

A clear, melodious female voice, with a familiar feel...

"Cuckoo? Why are you here?"

Kazama Shiromo covered his face, trying his best to make Du Juan ignore his presence.

Although the cuckoo was exactly what he and Daigo were looking for next, its appearance before them was not a pleasant surprise but a shock!

especially……

Kazama Shiramo glanced at the clothes Du Juan was wearing...

It's all over, it's all over!

There was absolutely no way to deceive Du Juan, because Du Juan was wearing... a waitress's uniform!

"I should be the one asking that question!" Du Juan looked at Daigo with a terrified expression, as well as Bai Mo sitting opposite Daigo, her eyes filled with fear!

"Why? Why are you two here?" Du Juan's expression was full of disbelief. What did she see? The two most dazzling geniuses of Hoenn back then, a former Hoenn champion and a former Sinnoh champion, two men together in this couple-themed restaurant!

My goodness!

“This…” Daigo’s forehead was suddenly covered in cold sweat. He had been through countless storms, had just become one of the Elite Four, had dug up the stronghold of the Pillar King, had been an undercover agent in a villainous organization, and had even thrown Kazama Shiramo out right under the nose of the Creator God!

But I've never experienced anything like this before! This is so exciting!

Du Juan's face was filled with disbelief, her eyes revealing three parts shock, three parts fear, and four parts—the discovery of a new world!

The two handsome young men who were once the most popular in the entire Hoenn region, actually... actually...

I chatted with a big Cao!

"Wait, Dujuan!" Kazama Shiramo covered his face and looked at Dujuan through the crack with a strange expression. "It's a bit complicated, but you have to believe me, it's not what you think!"

"It's not what I thought?" Du Juan gave me an expression that seemed to say, "What is it then? Did Rie ask you to go on a date with Daigo? Should I go ask Rie if she knows her husband is gay?"

"Please show mercy!" Kazama Shiramo wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. "Anyway, that's not how it is. I'll explain it to you later, but..."

Kazama Shiramo looked suspiciously at the waitress's uniform on Du Juan.

Why did Du Juan choose to work as a waitress?

Du Juan is undoubtedly a model of a good child, isn't she?

Born into a privileged family and consistently achieving excellent grades at the Pokémon School, Cuckoo is a girl who loves learning. Her erudition has been synonymous with her since her student days, which has led to her being known as a top student obsessed with rocks!

After graduating from the academy with excellent grades, Dujuan became the Gym Leader of Rustboro City as expected. Dujuan has always been devoted to studying, and her life consists of nothing but studying and Pokémon. So why would Dujuan work at a restaurant with a couples theme?

Putting aside the fact that Dujuan's family is already well-off, as the gym leader of the League Gym, shouldn't Dujuan be short of money? If she's not short of money, why does Dujuan work at the restaurant?

"Hey, Dujuan? Why did you come to work at this restaurant?" Kazama Shiramo asked Dujuan tentatively, but Dujuan's face changed instantly, becoming somewhat... flushed?

"What's it to you!" Du Juan glared fiercely at Kazama Shiromo, which was unusual for Du Juan, given her personality and character. She rarely clashed with anyone or got angry with anyone. Why was she acting like this?

"Oh right, Dujuan? You can't be short of money, can you? Why did you leave the dojo to work here?"

Kazama Shiramo had given up on asking questions and was very sensible. However, there was a man here with extremely low emotional intelligence towards women who had managed to stay single all his life—Zufuge Daigo, the number one rich and handsome man in Hoenn, a soul-level figure among the single wolves!

This guy has absolutely no sense of propriety!

"Eat your food, go on your dates, and hang out with your gay boyfriends!" Du Juan blushed and glared at Daigo fiercely: "Whether I work or not is none of your business!"

Without waiting for Daigo's rebuttal, he left in an instant.

Then another pretty young lady with hearts in her eyes brought out all the dishes Daigo had just ordered.

Kazama Shiramo glanced at Daigo, giving him a look that seemed to say, "Want some?"

Daigo gave a wry smile and gave Bai Mo a look that said, "Just eat it anyway."

The two remained silent, as if there was no air in front of them, and began stuffing food into their mouths in an eerie atmosphere.

In this huge couples' restaurant, every table exuded a romantic atmosphere, but this place alone had a strange smell. Oh, Kazama Shiromo really wanted to write "I'm not gay" on his face because the waitress who came to serve the dishes looked at Kazama Shiromo with a gentle gaze that made him feel creeped out!

Please don't look at me like that, or I'll really start to feel like I'm gay!

I'm not gay, I really am not!

However, he didn't have the face to say such a thing.
