Pokémon: Start with an Admiral Crab!

“This tastes just right!”

Wang Yao tasted the freshly baked meatballs carefully.

“It tastes really good…”

Lijia couldn't help but eat a few more.

“I wonder if this meatball dessert has a name?”

Lijia plans to add it to Kaiseki cuisine and share it with other friends.

"Nope—that's all the old woman's sign says is meatballs."

"There are three in a string, and it's only 120 yuan, and it comes with tea, which is very affordable."

Wang Yao recalled his experience while resting in the tea house.

"Let's call it [Grandma's Special Meatballs 2.0 Xiaogang's Remake of the Tea House at the Foot of Miyacha Mountain]"

Wang Yao's naming style is very Alola-esque.

"…How about 'Miyacha-style meatballs'?"

Lijia simplified it.

"That's fine, but wouldn't the achievements of Grandma Teahouse be wiped out?"

Wang Yao stuffed another meatball into his mouth, and his voice was a little unclear.

"Well... I will introduce the origin of the meatballs to those who taste them..."

Lijia felt that Wang Yao's focus was always a little different.

...But if you think about it carefully, it does make sense.

……

Since we were full enough from afternoon tea, the originally scheduled dinner was naturally skipped.

Before sunset, Wang Yao said goodbye to Lijia, took a pot of meatballs and purchased perfume, and flew back to the Tokiwa Gym on a helicopter.

"Hey so-and-so - go and share these meatballs among everyone."

Wang Yao also provided some small benefits to the staff.

"It smells so good... What did you bring back?"

Mantori, who was still working overtime in the gym, put down his electric mouse and followed the smell to Wang Yao.

"It's still hot, try it~"

This pot of meatballs weighs more than 20 kilograms, which means that Lijia often cooks for herself and there are enough raw materials in the warehouse to make them.

"Meatballs... I'll just try one. If you eat too much you'll get fat."

Mantori has strict body management.

……

five minutes later.

"Lika's cooking skills are really good... I didn't expect that a gym leader with such a busy job would still have the energy to study recipes."

This is what Mantori commented after eating only twenty or so meatballs and then stopped eating.

Wang Yao did not take credit for it. He was actually quite lazy. Although he was a gourmet, he usually did not cook for himself unless it was necessary.

He was afraid that after telling the truth, Manatori would ask him to make meatballs again.

So it’s better to give the reputation of “Meatball Immortal” to Lijia.

"Let the boss have a taste when he comes back."

Wang Yao lay down on the sofa. He had already eaten his fill before boarding the plane.

"After being frozen, it can be stored for a long time. You can just take it out and fry it again and eat it. The taste won't be too bad."

"……Yeah?"

Manatori suddenly had an idea - if he told Boss Sakaki that this was the snack he carefully prepared for him, would he be praised?

[The following is a fantasy drama of Zhenniao]

Sakaki: Ah~ Business trips are so tiring. I can only eat instant curry and instant noodles for lunch every day!

Manatori: Mr. Sakaki, welcome home - these are the delicious meatballs I made for you, please enjoy them~

Sakaki: Oh my god, this meatball is so delicious. What if I can’t eat it anymore?

Manatori: As long as I, Manatori, am here, Lord Sakaki will always have whatever he wants to eat!

Sakaki: Really? Miss Manatori - it seems I have to marry you!

Sakaki: This way I can eat delicious meatballs every day!

Mana: ——The plan works! ??(ˊwˋ*)??

[…The fantasy drama ends…]

Mantori planned to fly to Yuhong City to ask the owner of Lijia Pavilion for cooking lessons as soon as he had less work to do.

But for now, she is still the Rockets' housekeeper and works overtime every day.

All I can say is, I hope there will be such a day...

……

In a blink of an eye, Wang Yao stayed in Tokiwa Gym for another three days.

"Master Ayao, your armor is ready!"

Chengfu from the equipment department came to Wang Yao with the finished props.

Wang Yao waited for three days for the helmet that could have been made in one day.

It wasn’t that the technicians in the equipment department were lazy, but Wang Yao discovered that he had underestimated the technology of the Rockets.

So the initial simple needs became more and more...

The original metal helmet has also been transformed into a set of folding full-body armor full of technology.

It utilizes the unique space technology of the Pokémon world and is only the size of a headband when folded.

Yes - when folded, this thing takes on a headband with black and gold patterns.

But there are no curls at the ends...

The reason why it is a headband is because Wang Yao’s basic need is to prevent mind reading...

Only accessories at the head position can meet this requirement.

But when it unfolds, it’s amazing!

The black and gold metal will instantly cover the entire body, forming a heavy full body armor.

Moreover, his left hand can be transformed into a light cannon, and a folding war hammer can be pulled out from his right arm.

Unfortunately, due to the emphasis on portability, the rocket flying backpack that Wang Yao was looking forward to could only be changed into energy-storing jumping boots.

The energy-generating jumping boots lined with mini dragon leather boots are an additional design that can be spliced ​​together with the unfolded full body armor.

As a designer, Chengfu specially made the decorations on the shoulder armor and helmet look like sharp animal horns according to Wang Yao's preferences.

From the fact that Wang Yao named it [Black Rhino Armor], we can roughly know what it looks like...

Sorry, Giant Claw - but the Tyrannosaurus Rex is just way cooler.

Psyduck's helmet was also slightly modified, becoming a golden hoop.

"Once you put on this golden hoop, you will no longer be an ordinary Psyduck!"

Wang Yao put the golden hoop on Psyduck's head.

Psyduck's golden hoop is split in the middle, with a playful little curl.

"Quaa?"

Psyduck held his head and tilted it in confusion.

After scanning the wearer's information, the golden hoop begins to tighten automatically to ensure that it will not slip off.

"Master Ayao, according to your design, in addition to the psychic immunity metal, we also added psychic power amplification metal to Psyduck's headband - the material is taken from Alakazam's spoon."

As a researcher in the Rocket Team's Equipment Department, Sumio is not a well-known scientist in the organization.

He usually just stays at the Rocket Team base in Tokiwa City to maintain equipment, and his status is much lower than Dr. Mambo.

But those who can be recruited into this department are all talents in equipment manufacturing, similar to Zhaoren in the past.

Therefore, many aspects were understood at a glance, and Chengfu was able to meet most of the design requirements raised by Wang Yao.

"This way, Psyduck's training of its superpowers will be twice as effective with half the effort."

Finally, Chengfu adjusted the golden hoop on Psyduck's forehead to make sure there was no problem with the design of the equipment.

"Very good. It's a waste of your talent to be a maintenance worker in the Equipment Department. Report to the Research Department tomorrow. I will personally recommend you to Dr. Nabo!"

Wang Yao was very satisfied with Chengfu's abilities.

After all, he considers himself a difficult Party A.

Wang Yao wrote a transfer form on the spot and gave it to Zhenniao for his stamp.

And they righteously declared that this was to discover talents for the organization.
