My Pokémon Story of Seasons

Chapter 113 Not Short of Money

"I see it, we'll reach Fengrao Town soon."

The group emerged from the woods and finally saw the town.

"Gurgle—"

Someone's stomach growled, and everyone couldn't help but laugh.

"Let's go get something to eat first," Tong Hua suggested. "I know a great restaurant in town, something like 'Flavor Exploration'."

I know their head chef, so the food there must be good.

She nodded lazily: "Whatever, I'll do whatever you say."

So, Tong Hua and Feng led a large group of Pokémon into Windswept Town. The streets of Windswept Town were bustling with people, and passersby cast curious glances at Tong Hua and his large group of Pokémon.

Fortunately, the restaurant they were looking for was quite famous, and they found it after asking around among a few passersby.

The restaurant's facade is simple and elegant, with exquisite kitchenware patterns carved on the wooden signboard. Tong Hua pushed open the door, and the bell at the entrance rang crisply.

The restaurant was very spacious and tastefully decorated. Tong Hua glanced around casually; it looked like a high-end Western restaurant.

Tong Hua couldn't help but think of the duo Arthur and Miss Goth. Their attire and culinary style were a perfect match for this restaurant. The waiter in a suit standing at the front desk was taken aback by the huge queue at first, but then quickly and enthusiastically arranged a quiet corner for everyone.

"Order whatever you want, it's on me today," Tong Hua said, patting his chest and grinning.

He made sure to bring enough money with him this time. It was a rare vacation, and even though it was only two days and one night, he couldn't skimp on himself.

Money is something you have to earn in huge amounts and then spend in huge amounts.

Money that can circulate and flow continuously throughout the world is the best thing for building bonds between people.

If you keep saving it, the money will eventually become inactive, ultimately harming both yourself and others.

Tong Hua generously ordered the most expensive set meal and also ordered the dishes that each Pokémon wanted to eat.

I lazily flipped through the menu and finally chose a simple seafood pasta dish.

When the dishes were served, everyone was amazed.

A sous chef named Reno personally served the steak set meal that Tong Hua had ordered, and there was even a live performance.

It involves pouring cooking wine over the meat and then lighting a fire. The fire burns over the meat, causing it to sizzle and ooze oil.

Putting everything else aside, its emotional value is truly off the charts.

The strong aroma and tempting meat juices made Tong Hua's mouth water.

"Trembling—" "Chirp chirp—"

The two omnivores, the foam squirrel and the messenger bird, were equally envious, their four eyes fixed on Tong Hua's knife and fork as he cut the meat.

Tong Hua's children's meal included pudding and grape juice. In addition, the unlimited bread, salad and corn chowder were also delicious.

Tong Hua cut off a small piece of steak and first gave it to the foam squirrel and the messenger bird who were staring at him expectantly.

Expensive things are indeed expensive for a reason; at least the Pokémon all enjoyed their food.

The three little fairies took the pudding, while Sweet Wuni and Mini Fu finished off the vegetable salad and corn chowder. Even though their own dishes hadn't been served yet, they had already finished Tong Hua's portion.

When the pasta was served, Charming Cat immediately jumped off her shoulder and stared at the shrimp on the plate.

"Meow~" It gently touched the wind's hand with its paw.

"Okay, here's one for you." She lazily handed it a shrimp, "but only one."

The charming cat happily snatched the shrimp and jumped aside to enjoy it.

"It's okay, eat as much as you want, it's on me."

"That's not the reason. Eating too much will make you fat, so you have to control your diet."

You wouldn't want to become as fat as a scruffy cat before you've even evolved, would you?

"Meow." Charming Cat nodded and finished the shrimp in a few bites.

The wind ruffled the hair behind her ear and she began to savor it.

"Come to think of it, we seem a bit like a newlywed couple bringing their child to a family restaurant," Feng said suddenly, twirling his pasta with a fork.

"puff!"

Tong Hua almost choked on the grape juice, her face turning slightly red: "Stop, stop teasing me—"

"Hahaha, just kidding." Feng grinned mischievously. Her personality was still the same as always. Renmei was right when she said she was the queen of the kids.

Tong Hua lowered her head shyly as she cut her steak, her ear tips turning bright red.

Seeing the somewhat awkward atmosphere at the table, Foam Squirrel and Sweet Wuni exchanged a glance, both seeing a sense of crisis in each other's eyes.

"Terrible!" "Oh my!"

With two Pokémon flanking Tong Hua from the left and right, they had no choice but to unite against a common foe.

Tong Hua was caught off guard by the two Pokémon's sudden affectionate behavior and almost spilled the grape juice next to her.

Foam Squirrel clung tightly to his left arm, while Sweet Wuni held onto his right arm, both eyes warily fixed on the person opposite them.

"Oh—I see." Feng looked at them and said meaningfully.

After the meal, the group walked out of the restaurant.

Feng looked at Tong Hua, who was carrying several bags of takeout containers, and tilted his head to ask, "We're going to the hot spring hotel soon, why are you packing so much food?"

Little did she know, these things weren't for Tong Hua herself, nor were they even for the Pokémon—

These were all the dishes the two Celebi had ordered at the restaurant. Tong Hua had intended for them to eat them discreetly there, but Feng kept staring at her, making it impossible to find an opportunity. Tong Hua awkwardly picked up the takeout bag and stammered, "This is for dinner."

Raising an eyebrow, he said nothing more, and the two continued their journey towards the northern suburbs.

Two Celebi were flying in mid-air; to be honest, I was already incredibly hungry.

But they had to endure it, at least until they were in a hotel room, where no one could see them, before they could begin.

Meanwhile, in the fairytale ranch.

"Game".

Although Tong Hua took away ten Pokémon from the ranch at once, it had little impact on the Torterra.

Whenever it has free time, it patrols the fields using the grassy area, using its own body as a scarecrow to attract bird Pokémon that want to steal its food. When it gets tired, it basks in the sun through photosynthesis.

Although Tong Hua had told him not to push himself too hard, this level was still far from the limit that the forest turtle considered.

On the grass, Achu was leading Xiaoyou and the others in physical training.

In order to ensure the quality of milk production, both physical and mental exercise are necessary.

"Miru!"

Achu took the lead and rolled along the fence of the grassland after turning into a circle.

Because of the optical illusion effect, there's no need to be afraid of bumping into the fence.

Xiaoyou, Apu, and Xiaoban followed closely behind, the four big milk tanks playing happily together on the meadow.

"Worm—" The worm lay outside its barn, next to the chicken coop.

"Cluck cluck!"

Ever since Tong Hua discovered that the side effects of the egg-strengthening effect only lasted for five days, these hens have been laying ten days' worth of eggs every five days.

Despite the astonishing production volume, it is barely enough to meet the terrifying consumption rate of Happiness Dessert House.

Tong Hua seems to be considering raising more hens, but that would require expanding the chicken coop, which would be quite troublesome.

"Worm—"

Saltstone, who usually lies down with me, isn't here; the Miltank tanks have formed their own little group; and the Forest Tortoise is engrossed in farming.

Now, the worm has become the loneliest one in the ranch.

I wonder when I'll see those old friends from Sunshine Ranch again, or if they can come to Fairy Tale Ranch soon.

Tuotuo worm lay on the ground, basking in the sun while reminiscing about its past experiences.

Bone-Patterned Giant Crocodile, Motor Lizard, Slowpoke, Sunflower Monster, a family of rats, and him.

These were Yang's original Pokémon; some of them are no longer alive.

His encounter with Yang in the scorching desert of the Padiya region was more than 40 years ago.

In terms of Pokémon's age, he is still in his prime, but Yang is already an old man.

They used to challenge leagues in various regions, experiencing both victories and setbacks. Although they never became regional champions, they always enjoyed the fun of traveling.

After retiring from being a trainer, Yang explored many other fields. Eventually, they settled together in the Almia region.

The period when Sunny Ranch was built was probably the happiest time in Yang's life, and it was also the happiest time for Yang's Pokémon. The story after that was not so wonderful, but even now, Totodile has never regretted becoming Yang's Pokémon.

So when Yang told him a month ago that he could become the Pokémon of Fairy Tale Ranch, he didn't hesitate, "Worm."

As long as this is what Yang wants to see, he will definitely give his full support. With his help, Fairy Tale Ranch will surely become a place that rivals Sunshine Ranch.

The worm slowly raised its head and looked towards the distant grasslands and fields. Just then, the forest tortoise, having finished planting, strolled over leisurely, placing a fresh tree fruit in front of it with its mouth.

"Game!"

The forest tortoise shook itself, scattering the moogles on its back.

The worm picked up the tree fruit and gratefully rubbed against the forest tortoise. Although they came from different backgrounds and were far apart in age, their desire to protect the fairytale ranch was the same at this moment.

Over on the grassland, the four large milk tanks finished their training. Ah Chu noticed the worm and the forest turtle sitting side by side, hesitated for a moment, and then rolled over.

"Miru!"

The remaining three large milk pots followed, reaching out to the forest tortoise. The forest tortoise nodded and plucked a few more fruits from its back.

Six Pokémon huddled together, eating berries and enjoying the spring breeze.

Even if Tong Hua isn't there, everyone on the ranch can take care of themselves.

However, without Tong Hua, there is no one who can make delicious food that everyone can enjoy.

"Worm—.——" What should we do for dinner tonight?
