"Xiao Zhen, what do you think of the food I cooked? Is it to your taste?" Huazi asked with a blushing face.

Xiao Zhen chewed carefully and nodded silently. Although he came from a large family, he had eaten countless high-end delicacies made with magical beasts and medicinal herbs.

But he had been eating mostly dry food these days, so he was very satisfied to suddenly have a hot meal.

"Hanako, your cooking skills are very good. The seasoning and heat of these dishes are well controlled. Many chefs would probably feel ashamed after eating your dishes."

When Hanako was praised, her eyes immediately lit up, as if she had won a battle and felt very honored.

Only Aunt Yumi on the side felt very uncomfortable. She was obviously the owner of this house, but now she felt like a guest.

After spending some time together, Yumi discovered that this young man seemed a little out of touch. He always felt like he was just like her husband who liked to travel around and was often not home.

Early in the morning, Yumi quickly went to the restaurant. After all, as the boss, she still had a lot of things to do and didn't even eat breakfast at home.

Although she was a little worried that Xiao Zhen would bully the innocent Hanako when she was away, the management of the family restaurant really depended on her.

Xiao Zhen looked at Hanako who was happily frying eggs and asked curiously, "Hanako, let me ask you a question."

"Ah!" Huazi asked in confusion, "Xiao Zhen, what do you want to ask? Wait a minute, the fried eggs will be ready soon!"

Xiao Zhen waited for a while, then saw Huazi coming out with two plates. He looked at the smiling faces made of two poached eggs and ham bread on the plates.

Xiao Zhen unceremoniously picked up a piece of fried egg and put it into his mouth, then asked, "Hanako, do you know how to become a Pokémon trainer?"

Hanako, who was about to enjoy breakfast, was suddenly stunned, and then she said with a look of nostalgia: "Trainer! I also wanted to be a Pokémon trainer before, but my mother opposed it. She wanted me to inherit the family restaurant, but I really wanted to go out and travel, but I didn't dare to refute her!"

After listening to this, Xiao Zhen could only pat Huazi on the shoulder to comfort her.

Hanako continued, "Xiao Zhen, if you want to become a trainer, you must first register your name and pay a considerable amount of Alliance Coins before you can receive your own initial Pokémon."

"Oh, is that so? Then where can I apply for it?" Xiao Zhen asked puzzledly.

Hanako answered without thinking, "You can go to the town center. Show your ID and pay the money. They will help you register your name. Then you can go to Professor Oak to get your initial Pokémon."

Xiao Zhen nodded. He almost knew what he was talking about, except that he didn't know how much he had to pay.

"Goodbye! Be careful on your journey."

Hanako looked at the boy walking away and waved helplessly.

Originally, Huazi planned to act as a guide and take Xiao Zhen to the town center, but was rejected.

Xiao Zhen felt that for such a small matter, he could just go alone. He had all the identification documents in hand anyway, and as long as the system was reliable enough, there shouldn't be any problems.

Afterwards, following Hanako's explanation, Xiao Zhen successfully arrived at the town center. After explaining his purpose, he soon met the mayor of Pallet Town.

"Mr. Mayor, I hope to apply for the qualification of a Pokémon trainer, but I don't know what procedures I should go through?" Xiao Zhen asked calmly, looking at the fat middle-aged man in a suit sitting on the chair in front of him.

The mayor of Pallet Town smiled and said, "Young man, you don't look like you are from Pallet Town. You must be from another place!"

Xiao Zhen relaxed his shoulders and asked in confusion, "Does it mean that if you want to qualify as a trainer here, you also need to be a local?"

"Of course not, it's just that some procedures are more complicated, so the cost will be a little higher." The mayor touched the beard on his lips and smiled obscenely.

Xiao Zhen was dressed in casual clothes and didn't look like a wealthy man. However, if the mayor could take advantage of the opportunity to make some money, even if it was just a little more, he would not let it go.

"I understand, Mr. Mayor, just name a price!" Xiao Zhen put his hands in his pockets and said indifferently.

"Haha, young man, I just like your straightforwardness. Most people who want to obtain the qualification of a trainer need at least 10 League Coins, but you are an outsider, so you need at least 15!" The mayor smiled slightly, tapped his fingers lightly on the table, and explained calmly.

Xiao Zhen didn't know how much RMB 15 Alliance Coins was equivalent to, so he simply took out a small goldfish and put it in front of the mayor.

"Mr. Mayor, I wonder if this is enough?"

Looking at the gold bars on the table, the mayor played with them in his hands, weighed them, and observed them carefully. He found that the quality was good and the value was about 20 Alliance coins.

After putting the gold bars into his pocket, the mayor began to look at Xiao Zhen again. This young man was no ordinary person. He could take out gold at will. It seemed that he had underestimated him. He must be a wealthy man. He was probably a young man who had secretly run away from some family. This time, he had to be careful and make a fortune from him.

"This young man is truly a man of few appearances. Upon closer inspection, he is indeed very imposing and young people are to be feared." The mayor began to flatter without paying.

The mayor then left his seat and walked to Xiao Zhen's side. However, because he was a little short, as if he was less than 1 meters tall, he couldn't even take a picture of Xiao Zhen's shoulder. He could only say awkwardly:

"This money is enough for you to get a trainer's qualification certificate, but that's just an ordinary trainer, without a Pokémon Encyclopedia, and without the Big Three Pokémons. If you want a better package, just order more..."

Xiao Zhen was not a fool. This short and fat man obviously wanted to kill him, which really made him unhappy.

However, the Pokémon Encyclopedia is still necessary. After all, there are so many kinds of Pokémon in this world, and it is impossible to save all of them in his memory. Besides, the talents of the initial three Pokémon are much stronger than those of randomly caught wild Pokémon.

"Tell me, how much does it cost?" Xiao Zhen asked calmly.

Seeing that his plan was successful, the mayor smiled sinisterly and then explained several meal packages, which left Xiao Zhen stunned.

Is it really that he is ignorant? A beginner trainer actually has so many tricks.

After taking out a few gold bars, Xiao Zhen went to the Oak Research Institute with the trainer qualification certificate in his hand.

As expected, after paying so much money, the fat man's efficiency became much higher. He actually processed his documents directly, and he can go to collect his initial Pokémon today.

Looking at the closed office door, the fat mayor touched the few gold bars in his arms, his eyes narrowed into slits.

But this money is not so easy to get. How could Xiao Zhen like the feeling of being ripped off? He had already left a mental hint on this fat man.

After a month or two, the mayor will go to the police station in person and confess all his evil deeds to Miss Junsha. As long as there are any, even urinating and defecating in public, he will explain it clearly.

By then, no one would suspect Xiao Zhen, as he would probably have already left Zhenxin Town.
