There seems to be something wrong with these Pokémon

Walking through the bustling commercial street again, wandering with friends in the relaxed and pleasant atmosphere.

The lights in the bar elevator were dim and flickering, and the colorful lights matched the music played by the DJ in the middle of the round stage.

The plants in the sea garden are vying for beauty and splendor, and many grass-type Pokémon are wandering among them, with rich floral scents filling the air.

The atmosphere of the lunchtime concert was excellent, and the cheers of the audience even drowned out the two large speakers on the side of the stage.

……

After finally experiencing the facilities of the Saint Anno, Xiaozhi and Pikachu once again covered their empty stomachs, smiled awkwardly and followed Xiaoxia who was looking around.

According to her, the next destination is the highlight of this trip!

“THL restaurant, the rumored five-star hotel.”

Xiaoxia pointed her index finger and said, "The legendary Sinnoh region champion Ms. Sirona was also invited to taste the desserts and give back the most authentic experience to everyone."

"Ms. Sirona too...?!"

Xiaogang took a deep breath and couldn't help but look forward to the "THL restaurant" that Xiaoxia mentioned.

"It's much more than that." Xiaoxia nodded slightly, raised her eyebrows and smiled, "Even Ms. Karuna has been the spokesperson for this restaurant. Ordinary people can't afford it if they want to eat here."

"Ms. Karuna...?"

Xiao Ye blinked, inexplicably feeling that the name was very familiar, as if she had heard it somewhere.

"Well... from a trainer's perspective, you might be more familiar with her other name."

Xiaogang walked over quickly and introduced the two confused novice trainers.

"The champion of the Kalos region and a world-famous film actor."

Xiao Ye paused, then suddenly realized.

He couldn't help but slowly stretch out his arm and overlap his middle finger and thumb.

Under the smiling gaze of Misty and Brock, and the confused expression of Satoshi, he snapped his fingers and spoke softly.

"General."

"Hmm, now you remember it?"

Misty stepped back with a smile and said jokingly, "If you are a novice trainer and you don't know this champion trainer, you are not qualified enough."

Xiao Ye withdrew his arm and nodded, replaying a scene from a few years ago in his mind.

On TV

A woman with noble temperament and elegant manners, dressed in a white dress, stood in the battlefield with a smile.

Such an elegant temperament always makes people suspect that she is standing in the wrong place.

Such a beautiful lady seems to belong to the graceful film and television industry rather than on the brutal battlefield.

The sand field was dusty and the woman was nonchalant. Her beautiful eyes seemed to see through everything through the dust.

"General."

Along with these words, there was also the sound of crisp finger snaps.

"Gardevoir, shadow ball."

The Pokémon in the field, who was dressed similarly to Kalune and equally elegant and noble, turned and retreated from the smoke and dust, and raised his hand, and a dark shadow ball flew out.

"Sonic Dragon loses his ability to fight, Gardevoir wins! Therefore, the winner of this match is...!"

"Ms. Karunori!!"

"Let us give a warm round of applause to this new champion of the Kalos region!"

----

“It’s hard to forget.”

He looked at Xiaozhi's still confused expression and patted his shoulder.

"Have you forgotten? You and I watched TV together that day, and you were cheering for Ms. Karuna's wonderful fighting skills."

After Xiao Ye's reminder, he immediately matched the fragments that flashed in his mind.

Forgive his ignorance. After all, for a boy of his age, the passionate battle is what he cares about. As for who the trainer is...

Uh, I really don’t have any impression.

Although the St. Annus was a large ship, time passed quickly as the crew joked with each other.

After a while they came to an antique wooden door.

Two waiters who were specially invited on board stood next to the solid agarwood door. They bent their waists slightly and pushed open the wooden door full of secrets.

What unfolds before your eyes is a spacious and luxurious space. The gorgeous crystal chandelier on the ceiling reflects dreamlike and colorful lights from every angle.

The gorgeous European-style tables and chairs and the small and exquisite bar are all painted in pure white, exuding an aristocratic atmosphere.

There is a white porcelain vase on every table, with pink roses blooming tenderly in the vase, which matches harmoniously with the elegant environment.

The few people sat down in silence with stiff limbs as the waiter guided them. They flipped through the menus in their hands and didn't know what to say.

"What kind of dish is this... 'Golden House Hidden Beauty'?"

Xiaoxia, who was hurriedly flipping through the recipe, suddenly felt a burst of hot air rushing past her ears. Frightened, she quickly looked up and dodged backwards, only to see Xiaozhi, who was sticking to her face with his mouth covered and a confused expression on his face.

"Shh, don't ask me!"

Xiaoxia pretended to be calm, straightened her back, and squeezed out a few words from between her teeth.

"Just be careful and don't make us look like country bumpkins."

"Well…"

Xiaoye, who was also feeling a little annoyed, didn't have time to say anything before she felt a slight tremor in her thigh.

He lowered his eyes and saw that the menu had been covered with purple bundles that were as branched as twigs.

"Good Luck, Secret Garden, Burnt Phoenix Tower..."

"Do you need anything else?"

The waiter, who was recording on the electronic display, smiled and said, "I guess this amount is not enough for you, not to mention..."

The waiter looked down with a venomous look and said with an uneasy expression, "I guess your Pokémon also need to eat, right?"

The trembling purple bundle disappeared from the waiter's sight in the blink of an eye, and Xiaoye's muscles, which had finally relaxed, tensed up again.

"Oh, don't be nervous." Seeing this, the waiter hurriedly explained, "I don't mean to blame you. Our THL restaurant allows Pokémon and trainers to dine together."

As he said this, he stretched out his right hand wearing a white glove, and his slender index finger brushed across the head of Pikachu hiding behind Xiaozhi, and quietly retracted it when the shy Pokémon was about to lose control and release an electric shock.

"Pokémon are guests of our THL restaurant just like you, so I dare to ask if you would like any special Pokémon food."

"Specially made?" Xiaogang became interested when he heard this. His keenness as a breeder kept arousing his curiosity.

"Energy cube, have you ever heard of it?"

Xiaoye nodded thoughtfully, his brows furrowed.

Energy Cubes...

What a familiar name.

"Is it from the Hoenn region?"

For Xiaogang, who aspires to become a top breeder, he has also heard about the special Pokémon dishes from other regions.

"Yes." The waiter answered patiently, "The essence of energy cubes is a mixture of various tree fruits. Because it combines various flavors, it can meet the needs of different Pokémon while being quite safe."

"Oh?!" Xiaozhi turned to Pikachu who was standing on the soft sofa and asked, "Would you like to try it?"

Xiao Ye had already figured out the character of his greedy Pokémon, and before it could speak, he raised his index finger and spoke.

"Then I'd like to trouble you to have one."

"I want one too!"

"Do you have different flavors? And how to make them? Bring up some more."

The slightly restrained atmosphere soon disappeared as everyone started to use the new Pokémon food energy blocks.

Xiao Ye imitated Xiao Gang's actions, picked up an energy cube with two fingers and placed it in front of his eyes to observe carefully.

The crystal clear tetrahedron looks as if it has icing sugar stuck on its surface.

Xiaoye moved her gaze and happened to see Xiaogang holding up the energy cube, as if trying to understand its material through the light above his head.

But this time, before Xiaoye could follow suit, Xiaogang slowly put down his hand and slid his slightly protruding Adam's apple up and down.

Swallowed...swallowed? ? ! !

Xiao Ye was stunned and stood there with his mind blank.

"Hmm... a little sour, the taste is a little bland..."

Xiao Gang closed his eyes and savored the remaining taste on his tongue and continued his analysis.

"The main ingredient is sour pomelo, and the faint fragrance is probably from pomelo. It seems to be mixed with some sweet peach flavor?"

Xiao Ye was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but feel admiration in his heart.

With just one bite, you can break down the raw materials of unknown foods.

How much experience does it take to accumulate this amount of time?

"Let's eat!" Xiaozhi called out to the few people whose minds were distracted, and was the first to shout at the dining table where the food had been quietly served without them knowing when.

"I'm starting!"
