Half an hour later.
"It's done!"
Mr. Baimu tapped the big spoon on the side of the pot, shaking the grains of rice off it. "Dinner's ready, everyone!"
Youx Lijia, who was snuggling with the Altered-color Milotic, sniffed the air, her eyes lighting up as she excitedly exclaimed, "It smells so good! What delicious treat is this?"
"Amazing, Mr. Baimu, you can actually make the glowing dish of the Lokomoko master!"
Hitron, being the "Local Bully" of Lumiose City, probably frequented those star-rated restaurants with his sister, and immediately recognized what he had made.
"Hey! It's really glowing!"
Though Sarina was also from Carlos, she rarely went to Lumiose City, so it was naturally her first time seeing a genuine glowing dish.
She took a portion from Mr. Baimu and hurriedly wanted to take it up the hill for Ash Ketchum to taste.
"Wait, these portions are for Ash and the others."
Mr. Baimu stopped Sarina, handed her the prepared portions, and laughed at her blushing expression, "Go quickly, it won't taste as good if it gets cold."
"Thank you…"
Sarina shyly ran off with Braixen.
Damn.
Ash, you damn fool!
Such a thoughtful girl! The first thing she thinks of when seeing delicious food is you!
Mr. Baimu almost shed tears over such a Sarina, nearly forgetting that the ages of those two kids combined weren't even the size of his shoe size.
So young, so inexperienced~
He ate a spoonful of fried rice fed by Blissey, sighing, "So sweet!"
"Happy?"
Blissey looked at the spoon in its hand, then at the bowl in its hand, puzzled.
Sweet? How is that possible!
It's supposed to be salty!
To be sure, it tasted it itself and indeed found it was salty, so maybe the Trainer's taste buds had an issue?
Blissey started to panic a bit.
Suddenly.
Not far away, Youx Lijia's surprised shout came.
"Big brother, come quickly! Hydreigon just threw up for some reason!"
Upon hearing this, Mr. Baimu quickly ran over and saw Hydreigon's three heads making strange "gag" sounds at a rock, continuously spewing out violet liquid that corroded a large chunk of it, and he was relieved.
He said to the panicking Youx Lijia, "Did you also feed it your portion?"
"Uh… yeah…"
On hearing that, Youx Lijia realized it was her mistake and lowered her head in embarrassment.
Hitron was apologizing non-stop from the side, "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry, really sorry…"
"No worries, I'm not blaming Youx Lijia."
Mr. Baimu waved his hand with a smile, pointing at the corroded rock:
"This guy recently learned a move called Burping, and since it's not very familiar with it, eating too many Tree Fruits usually makes it regurgitate like this. It's not a big deal, and spitting like this is actually a good thing."
After throwing up, Hydreigon's mouth wouldn't stink anymore.
How strange.
The reason for this guy's stinky breath wasn't in its mouth, but rather a stomach issue?
"Really?"
Youx Lijia asked worriedly.
She especially liked the Pokémon that looked fierce but was actually gentle, so after contacting Hydreigon, they quickly became good friends.
While they were eating just now, seeing it loved to eat, she couldn't help but feed it her portion too.
Unexpectedly…
"Of course."
Mr. Baimu nodded.
The constantly vomiting Hydreigon barely turned its largest head and forced a smile at Youx Lijia.
Tsk tsk tsk.
Can even two dummies find resonance with each other?
Mr. Baimu looked at Youx Lijia, then at Hydreigon. Although they were different species, their temperaments were quite similar.
Both restless and quite mischievous.
