Elf, a genius scientist who traveled from a pirate

Chapter 2 Where does Aunt Hanako get the money?

"Gululu..."

Su Sheng's stomach protested again.

"Fruit is not filling enough."

Su Sheng patted his belly in protest, lowered his eyes and said to Yue Yi:
"There is an old saying in the Chinese culture that goes 'food is the first necessity of the people'. Let's go fill our stomachs first and then think about the future."

"Buu ...

Umbreon nodded in response.

Although it has not yet recovered from the grief of being abandoned by its original owner.

But after spending less than ten minutes with the human boy, Moon Eevee had already felt that the boy had no malice or prejudice towards him.

This was reason enough for Umbreon to follow him.

……

After Su Sheng and Yue Yibu left.

A figure dressed in a black cloak and dressed like the God of Gamblers walked out from the corner of the street behind.

His eyes were filled with disbelief under his bowler hat, and he whispered to himself:
"Evil type... makes the evolved Pokémon degenerate... that kid... is he kidding me?"

If it were any other time, he would have thought it was some kind of idiom spoken by a kid.

But through the brief secret observation just now, he discovered that Su Sheng exuded a maturity that was completely beyond his age, and his eyes contained a strong confidence.

It makes me wonder, can he... really do it?
Sakaki was silent for a long time.

It should be done at other times, even if you don’t observe it yourself.

At least he would send one of his men to follow that guy and see if he could really do anything weird.

But now... I'm not in the mood.

Recently, Sakaki has been secretly searching for his missing son.

Unable to find it in Kanto, Sakaki ran to Johto.

Even the Rocket Team's subordinates were not used.

Because Sakaki did not tell anyone, including his subordinates, that he had a child.

Because children often become the weak point of their parents.

As the leader of Team Rocket, Sakaki has made countless enemies on the road.

How could a veteran like Sakaki not think of what would happen once his enemy knew he had a son?
So he kept this matter secret.

However, even so, his child is still missing!
“Who… is it?!”

Sakaki gritted his teeth secretly, not in the mood to pay attention to Su Sheng. He turned his head and blended into the darkness again.

……

Elf Center.

"Big sister, can we eat the food at the Elf Center for free?"

Su Sheng looked up and blinked those adorable eyes and asked Joey sweetly.

Along the way, he obtained a lot of information through this skin.

First of all, this is Azure City in the Johto region.

However, the timeline is different from the Pokémon world that I watched animations and played games in my previous life.

The current champion of the Kanto League is Granny Kikuko who uses the ghost system, not the flying king.

In other words, it is still at least several years away from the plot that Su Sheng is familiar with.

Moreover, Professor Oak has not yet invented the Pokémon Encyclopedia, so people don't know about the not-so-common attribute of "evil".

Also, in the game, the Poké Ball teleporting device and Pokémon recovery device that players use every day... these are all missing.

But there is one thing that is true.

That is, just like Ash in the animation, the Pokémon Center will provide free medical services, food and accommodation.

"Sure, little brother."

Seeing such a cute little boy, Joey on the other side of the counter immediately smiled back.

Su Sheng finally understood the happiness of that little scoundrel Momonosuke.

Well, speaking of it, the first regret in my previous life was that I didn’t destroy the World Government, and the second regret was that I didn’t kill that bastard Momonosuke.

When Su Sheng heard that the Elf Center did provide free food, he immediately smiled.

I love this world so much! However, Joey's next sentence made Su Sheng dumbfounded.

"Show me your trainer ID, little brother."

"Clam?"

Trainer...ID card?

What the hell?
Oh wait!
There seems to be that thing in the game as well. I remember it seemed to have the trainer's name, trainer number, and how many badges he had obtained written on it.

But since this seems to be just a decoration, I didn’t pay much attention to it when I was playing games in my previous life...

Seeing that Su Sheng's expression was not right, the bright smile on Joey's face also became a little more doubtful.

"Little boy, aren't you a registered trainer of the league? Then you have to pay. The cost of accommodation and food for one day is 1000 league coins."

Su Sheng touched his trouser pocket, which was cleaner than his face... He had already started thinking about how to leave without appearing so embarrassed.

"...I'll treat you to this meal, sister."

Joey suddenly said again.

"This……"

Su Sheng was a little surprised.

Qiao Yi smiled and said, "Sister can still afford this amount of money."

……

Half an hour later, in the restaurant of the Pokémon Center in Azure City, many trainers gave Su Sheng looks of surprise.

Yes, it is indeed a ghost.

Starving ghost.

Even the Moon Eevee, who was squatting on the ground with a bowl of Pokémon food in front of him, felt that the food in the bowl no longer smelled good.

so awkward……

"Is it tasty?"

At this time, Joey came with Jigglypuff.

"Thank you, Sister Saori. I will repay you in the future."

Su Sheng swallowed a mouthful of curry rice and gave Joey Saori a thumbs up.

Based on the other party's self-introduction, Su Sheng learned that "Joey" was the surname of the Joey family.

After the surname, every Joey naturally has a first name.

And from Joey Saori's mouth.

Su Sheng also learned a lot about the real Pokémon world.

Among them is the knowledge of "Alliance Registered Trainer".

Only this kind of trainer can enjoy free accommodation and treatment services at the Pokémon Center.

Just like the players in the game, and Satoshi and others in the animation.

The condition for becoming a registered trainer in the league is to pay a tax to the league every year starting from birth, and then when you are 10 years old, you will be given a Pokémon with good qualifications.

Most of them are the Big Three.

However, this service can only last until the age of 20.

Well, that makes sense when you think about it.

I wish I could eat and drink as much as I want in the Pokémon Center for the rest of my life.

Then how come there are still “office workers” in this world?
In his previous life, Su Sheng played games and beat many trainers of the "Business People" type on the roadside.

However, after understanding this, Su Sheng thought of another question——

Where did Xiaozhi's mother Aunt Hanako get the money?

Out of curiosity, Su Sheng asked Joey Saori how much tax she would have to pay for becoming a registered trainer for ten years.

After getting the answer, Su Sheng was really curious about where Aunt Hanako, who didn't seem to work in the animation, got so much money.

Could it be that Professor Oak sponsored it... Ahem! I can't think about it anymore, or the book will be gone.

"...Xiao Sheng, you are not an orphan, are you?"

Just when Su Sheng was daydreaming, Joey Saori asked suddenly.

Su Sheng:???

Hey, hey, hey, why are you swearing?
