Trainer? I'm just an ordinary hot spring owner.

Jiang Cheng smiled and touched Ergui's head: "Yes, we are going home"

"Boni!" A happy smile appeared on Uruk-Yo's face. To her, home was a very warm place. Every time she went out, she had to stay in the Poké Ball, which was uncomfortable and dark. Uruk-Yo wanted to stay at home all her life.

Not only Ergui, Jiang Cheng also wanted to return to his home as soon as possible.

How to say it, Donghuang is the home of this body, but not his own. Staying there always reminds him of his past life. It is similar to his hometown in every way, yet different in every way.

There were also old friends that the original owner was familiar with. In front of them, Jiang Cheng always had a feeling of not being able to adapt.

After all, he is not himself after all. The boy who grew up that they lamented had actually lost the opportunity to grow up long ago. What is alive now is just a soul from another world who was resurrected with the help of this body.

Although they were in a hurry on the way back, Jiang Cheng planned to walk slowly on the way to the hot spring resort.

After being cooped up in the Poké Ball for a whole day, the little guys seemed to be particularly lively, especially Uruk-O, who seemed to be very interested in everything on the roadside. He would either run forward or stop by the roadside to watch the florist arranging flowers. When he saw someone selling some souvenirs, he would stretch out his little hand to poke. It seemed that after returning to Alola, the whole Pokémon relaxed and wanted to see everything, but he would not leave Jiang Cheng too far.

Jiang Cheng grabbed Ergui's little hand and pulled the little girl back. She stared at Jiang Cheng with a pair of clear eyes, looking ignorant and well-behaved. Who could have the heart to blame her?

"Is Erguiyan happy?"

"Boni~" Happy!

“That’s good”

Pokémon, after all, should be left outside so that you can see its cutest side.

Following Erotica, looking at the toys on the roadside, and the rare Pokémon rentals on the street, things that seemed ordinary in the past now became interesting.

"Finally home, I don't know how Lilia is doing."

How's "Bonie"?

"Lilia is also our good friend. We left the hot springs center to her this time. I wonder if it will be a burden to her."

"What?" Why should we hand over the hot springs to her?

"Because we are going out, we ask her to help us earn money."

"Send it!"

If she helps to make money, then she is a good person!

"Is this how it is judged?" Jiang Cheng smiled helplessly.

Liliae has lived in her own hot spring parlor for quite some time. She probably never imagined that she would be recognized by Zhen Yifa for such a reason.

When I returned to the hot spring center, I saw a message on the small blackboard outside saying that the owner was out, the battle project was suspended, and the restart time was to be determined.

It is still far from the opening time, and with the suspension of the fighting business, there are not many people at the entrance of the hot spring center.

Jiang Cheng took out the blackboard eraser from the warehouse and handed it to Zhen Yifa.

"Send it?"

Flutterhair used his wings to roll up the blackboard eraser, somewhat confused.

"Ah, I forgot that Master Zhenyifa still can't read. Erguiyan, could you please help Master Zhenyifa explain what's written there?"

"Boniao!" Erguiyan agreed happily, and immediately began to explain seriously to Zhenyifa. The two little guys were whispering to each other, and Jiang Cheng just smiled silently and watched from the side.

After explaining for a while and seeing Zhen Yifa nod, the two little guys separated.

"Did Zhenyi understand what was written on it?"

"Yes!" I see! It means to stop making money!

As he said this, he was about to erase the words on it. When he was away, he missed out on a lot of money, and Jiang Cheng also spent a lot of money on big meals and going to night markets. Now that he is back, he must hurry up to make money.

It seems that he really understands it.

Turning around, he saw Ergui looking at him expectantly. He could not help but rub his head hard and praise him. Only after he saw Ergui smiling happily did he open the door.

Zhen Yifa pulled Jiang Cheng and pointed at the blackboard which had now been wiped clean.

"Post it!" Help me write it!

"What should Flutter Wings write?"

“Send it” and write it to start the battle!

"Okay, I'll write, the owner has returned, the battle business has been reopened, everyone is welcome to challenge, how do you think?"

"Get it!" There's still money!

"Okay, one more thing, don't forget to bring enough money"

"Send it" That's right!

"Finally, we have to leave the name of Master Zhen Yi Fa so that everyone knows that this is what Master Zhen Yi Fa left here."

"Send it!" That's right!

Jiang Cheng wrote Zhen Yifa's name on it word by word, and Zhen Yifa nodded with satisfaction.

"In this way, Master Zhenyifa's battle business can be carried out again. However, today, let's take a rest first."

Zhen Yifa shook his head: "Fa" No need!

"Don't you need to rest for the Flutter Wings? You've been out for so long, and you've even had a battle."

"Fa" It's just a battle, not tiring!

Zhen Yifa looked serious. It was urgent to earn a little money to support Jiang Cheng! We had to race against time!

"Well, before that, why don't we go back to the hot springs and have something to eat? We can also ask Liliae how much money she made while we were away."

Hearing this, Zhenyifa immediately perked up: "Fa, Fa, Fa!"

Chapter 174: Poetry and books on the pillow

"Sorry, it's not operating hours yet... The gym owner is not here at the moment. If you want to fight... eh?"

The person arrived before the sound. Liliae heard the noise at the door from inside the house. She hurried out to organize the guests and saw Jiang Cheng standing at the door.

"Thank you for your hard work, Liliae, I'm back"

When she saw someone, she would say thank you for their hard work and leave the hot spring parlor business to them. It was okay to operate it at night, but after closing, there would be people who would not look at the blackboard at the door and would come in and try to fight. After being rejected one by one, all the jobs fell on Liliae's head.

This kind of thing is not tiring, but it is mentally taxing. It takes a long time to communicate with people if you meet someone unreasonable.

No matter what, you have troubled others and you must thank them properly.

"Send it~"

"Boni~"

The two little ones also bowed to her and thanked her. Of course, Zhen Yifa was mainly thanking her for helping them make money.

"Hey, I didn't do anything... No need to thank me."

"How can I not thank my friends for their help? It just so happens that I learned a new skill from Donghuang, and Liliae must try it."

Jiang Cheng smiled as he put the Magikarp back into the water in the front yard.

"Really? Well, Jiang Cheng came back so quickly from Donghuang. Did the purchase go smoothly?"

Liliae asked as she looked at Jiang Cheng's empty hands.

"It went smoothly. I don't think I'll have to go there again for a long time. How about Lilia? Did the little one hatch smoothly?"

After the cooperation was agreed upon, Jiang Cheng would naturally not be asked to bring all the things over at once. Instead, Jiang Cheng would give the other party an address and they would deliver the supplies. This would facilitate long-term cooperation in the future.

"How can it be that fast? I read in a book that if the elf egg is not in an incubator, it will take at least a week and a maximum of 28 days to incubate. During this period, the temperature must be kept constant. If possible, it is best to have close contact with the egg frequently. In this way, after the baby hatches, it will have a better relationship with me..."

Speaking of hatching Pokémon eggs, Lillie immediately began to talk nonstop. These days, apart from helping Professor Kukui as an assistant, what concerned her most was the hatching of Pokémon eggs. She checked many relevant books, striving to do her best, and it felt like she was becoming a mother for the first time in her life.

"There is actually such a truth? I have never paid attention to such knowledge before."

Jiang Cheng started to show his support at the right time. He did not ask Lillie why she insisted on the traditional method of hatching eggs instead of using an incubator. This was someone else's personal choice, just like Lillie had always liked Pipi instead of the stronger Picosi.

What's more, hatching eggs is not just about hatching eggs, it is also about cultivating your mind and building bonds. This process is essential for someone who has certain barriers to contact with Pokémon.

Even though the family's knot has been resolved, Liliae still needs to break down the wall herself.

"Yeah, yeah, I never paid attention to it before. I thought it was easy to hatch Pokémon eggs. But after I experienced it myself, I realized there is so much knowledge involved..."

"Ah, look at me, I was so busy talking that I forgot you just came back from outside. You must be very tired. Do you want to go back to the house and rest first..."

"I do need to go back to the house first." Jiang Cheng stretched out his hand and looked at the sky: "It's going to rain soon."

"This rain came at a good time. I just came back and didn't want to open the store anymore, so I might as well take this opportunity to close for a day."

"I...I'll go help bring the blackboard into the house."

"No, no, no, if it rains, the temperature will definitely drop. Liliae should go and check if the elf eggs are well kept warm. We have to be extra careful at times like this."

"Oh, yeah, then... I'll go over and take a look first."

When Liliae heard what Jiang Cheng said, she hurried back to her room. Jiang Cheng finally had some free time to check on the elves.

The sun corals saw Jiang Cheng coming and greeted him happily. It was going to rain today, so they were in a bad mood. But when they saw Jiang Cheng coming home, they started to chirp and make noise again.

The Good and Bad Stars also came to the surface of the water. It seemed that it was indeed a bit stuffy underwater before it rained.

"Frost Fairy, I'm back. Did you miss me?" After entering the hot spring hall, Jiang Cheng greeted Frost Fairy.

"Mama~" When Frosty Milk Fairy saw Jiang Cheng coming back, she waved her little hand happily, made another ice cream cone from the ice cream machine, and thoughtfully put some of her own cream on it before handing it to Jiang Cheng.

"Thank you, Milk Fairy~"

Jiang Cheng couldn't wait to take the ice cream and take a bite. The cool touch and the blissful sweetness made all the tiredness of the long journey and the boredom of the impending rain forgotten in an instant.

"Sure enough, no matter where you are, our Frosty Milk Fairy's ice cream is the best."

“Ghost-!! Gastly-!”

Gastly couldn't wait to get out of the ball and was clamoring to eat it. It was a rare reunion after a short separation, so Frostmilk smiled and made one for it.

Not to mention that there is a full set of household appliances in the hot spring center. It has only been a day since I left. If there is any change in the hot spring center, it is definitely not. It depends more on one's own heart.

Tick-tock, a drop of rain fell on the water surface, creating ripples.

As if some kind of signal sounded, the second drop, the third drop, countless drops...

Countless raindrops rushed from the clouds to the earth, flowing into ponds, rivers and seas.

Jiang Cheng moved a recliner out of the house and put it on the corridor, took out a thin blanket and a small oven, listened to the crisp tinkling sound of raindrops falling on the tiles, and watched the sun corals under the rain curtain seeming to be playing a game of stacking people.

Magikarp began to perform the dragon dance in the water again.

It's a good weather for sleeping in.

With such scenery around, all the visitors, business, and past and present troubles are left aside.

Jiang Cheng was covered with a thin blanket, listening to the sound of rain, and he began to feel sleepy slowly. Seeing Jiang Cheng like this, Erguiyan also climbed onto the recliner and snuggled into Jiang Cheng's arms. Jiang Cheng subconsciously covered him with a thin blanket, and his fluttering hair returned to his favorite chest position and curled up into a ball.

In a daze, Jiang Cheng thought of Donghuang, and of himself riding on the Tiehui Kaguya, looking down, and seeing that everything in the world was as tiny as an ant. In the blink of an eye, he would have to say goodbye to it.

When traveling in the world, encountering Pokémon is truly a rare fate.

Have a good sleep and don’t let this rain go to waste.

There is a good place for poems and books, and the rain in front of the door is good.

Chapter 175: Sirona is coming?

After stealing half a day of leisure, Jiang Cheng woke up before dinner time and started to cook dinner.

During this trip to Donghuang, Jiang Cheng bought a lot of spices, sorted them into bottles and jars, and cooked a good meal to reward Liliae for her hard work in running the store all day.

After special training from his master's wife, Jiang Cheng has incorporated many small tricks this time. Compared with before, he has indeed made a lot of progress, which can be heard from the diners' endless praises.

Jiang Cheng couldn't escape after all. The theorem that every Liaozi would become a cook, and those Liaozi who didn't become cooks would evolve into Liaozi that were very difficult to kill.

Speaking of which, apart from running my own hot spring center and raising Pokémon, I don't seem to have many personal hobbies in this world. In my previous life, I was busy studying and struggling with life, and I didn't have much time to cultivate my personal hobbies. I finally succeeded in staying in school and became a teacher, and I basically work all the time. Maybe popularizing water monkeys can be considered a small interest of mine.

Anyway, the only thing I can do that can be related to my past life is eating.

In my previous life, I didn’t eat many good foods as a child and I had no knowledge. When I grew up, started working, and had more free time, I found that some things were too bad to eat by myself.

If you order too much, you can’t finish it; if you order too little, you can’t eat everything.
