Pokémon: All About the Breeding House

Chapter 165 Autumn Festival, Monini, Let's Head Towards the Master Chef! (4000 words)

Once outside the venue, Fang Yan accompanied Cynthia and Lance to the Pokémon Center.

After Nurse Joy helped them restore their Pokémon, Lance immediately jumped on and rode Dragonite.

"Is Watari going back? Isn't he going to the Autumn Festival?"

Lance sat on the Dragonite and shook his head.

"There are still matters in the Kanto and Johto regions that I need to go back to handle. In addition, Wallace from the Hoenn region is holding a Contest in the Sinnoh region, so the Hoenn League contacted me and asked me to help them with their business. Therefore, I need to hurry back."

hiss----

Fang Yan glanced at Cynthia beside him.

While both are champions, the Dodo Bird handles affairs for three leagues simultaneously, while some champions have to delegate the management of their own region's champion to the Elite Four.

Cynthia was playing with the Vulpix in her arms when she noticed Fang Yan's gaze. She narrowed her eyes and stared at Fang Yan.

Fang Yan silently shivered, then looked at Du.

"Then I wish you a safe journey. You can come to the nursery when you have time, and we can have tea together. I'm quite good at brewing tea."

Du laughed and nodded.

At this moment, Cynthia chimed in, "If you feel too tired and need to relax, go to his breeding center. You won't regret it."

Wataru was stunned by Cynthia's bright yet aloof smile.

Since it was recommended by Cynthia, it must have something special about it.

"I'll go there once I'm done with this busy period. It's a good time for me to relax."

"You're welcome anytime."

After exchanging contact information with Fang Yan, Lance rode away on his Dragonite.

Fang Yan followed behind Cynthia to the supermarket, bought some groceries, and then comfortably became a salted fish.

Time quickly came to the day of the Autumn Festival.

Cynthia came from her room to the living room, just as Fang Yan brought out breakfast.

He was taken aback when he saw Cynthia.

Cynthia seems to have dressed up specifically for the autumn festival today. Although she's still wearing wide-leg pants, her overall look is less career-oriented and more family-oriented.

Especially striking are the crystal earrings, paired with her full head of blonde hair and an indescribably exquisite face.

Fang Yan swallowed hard.

"What's wrong? Doesn't it look good?"

Fang Yan quickly shook her head, "It looks good, it looks really good."

Cynthia smiled and then sat down to enjoy her breakfast.

After breakfast, Fang Yan followed Cynthia out to the place where the Autumn Festival was being held, which was already packed with people.

Many people on the street recognized Cynthia, but they didn't surround her. Instead, they kept waving to her from a distance.

Cynthia kept responding to them.

Finally, Fang Yan couldn't stand it anymore, so he pulled her to a secluded spot, took out a hat and Gengar's black glasses, and dressed her up.

Only after they were no longer easily recognized did they continue to stroll through the autumn festival with her.

It must be said that the autumn festival in Kikyo City is much better than the autumn festival jointly held by Futaba Town and Masago Town.

The level of activity and the things to do.

Along the way, there were all sorts of delicious food and fun activities, making Fang Yan almost unable to contain himself.

Its phone had long been stolen by Gengar, and it was off having fun with Mighty, Monini, and Vulpix, while Miss Skirt and Miss Gothic followed along.

As we passed a vendor, an older man stopped Fang Yan.

"Young man, would you like an extremely rare and powerful Pokémon?"

Fang Yan looked at the uncle, who glanced around and then whispered in Fang Yan's ear, "I have a very rare and powerful Pokémon here. If I hadn't encountered some difficulties, I wouldn't have been willing to sell it. But I see you're the right person today, so I'm going to sell it to you."

The uncle held up five fingers.

"This is all we need."

"Five hundred? That's alright. How do I pay?"

Uncle: ————

He took off his sunglasses and looked at Fang Yan as if he were looking at someone with an intellectual disability.

If he hadn't seen Gengar take Fangyan's phone and then spend it everywhere, he wouldn't have wanted to talk to Fangyan at all.

"Brother, are you kidding? How could it be five hundred yuan?"

"Five thousand? That's acceptable."

"No, it's not five thousand, it's five hundred thousand."

"500,000? Is it really a very rare Pokémon?"

The uncle's eyes lit up.

Then he nodded eagerly, "Ten times the compensation for any fake."

Fang Yan glanced at Cynthia beside him and narrowed his eyes.

Then have Gengar come over, pay, and take the Poké Ball.

I released the Pokémon out of the bucket, and sure enough...

A red fish was thrashing about inside.

Fang Yan looked up and found that the uncle had already disappeared.

Fang Yan wasn't in a hurry. He recalled Magikarp and led a puzzled Cynthia in one direction.

The man had changed his clothes and was in an extremely good mood.

"I fooled another idiot."

As I was humming a tune and getting ready to go for a drink, I suddenly felt a chill down my spine.

I quickly ran into the alley, where it became even more eerie.

A cool breeze occasionally blew against his buttocks, instantly sending shivers down his spine.

Isn't it a ghost?

Thinking of this, the uncle turned and ran.

He had just turned his head when...

"ah!!!!!!!"

He collapsed to the ground, constantly shuffling his buttocks backward.

His face was deathly pale.

He then heard footsteps behind him and quickly turned around, wanting to ask for help, only to find that it was the man who had just bought his Magikarp.

He walked over to the ghost, picked up an eyeball from the ground, and then stuffed it into Gengar's eye.

"Is it that scary? I think it's cute."

Fang Yan tugged at the corner of Gengar's mouth, looked Gengar up and down, and said.

Gengar grinned widely.

"Kou Jie Yi"

whee.

Seeing that Fang Yan was too busy to talk to him, the uncle stood up and prepared to sneak away.

Meanwhile, on the other side, a Garchomp was staring at him.

"So, pay up. Ten times the price for a fake, five million."

Fang Yan walked up to him, narrowed his eyes, and his voice, like a death knell, made the uncle break out in a cold sweat.

"You can choose to run away if you can beat Garchomp, or you can defeat us and then run away, provided you can defeat the Sinnoh Champion."

Although he spoke with a smile, the uncle's forehead was sweating more and more.

The Sinnoh champion is Cynthia—Cynthia, isn't she? Could she be—

-

Cynthia took off her sunglasses to act in the dialect.

The man's eyes rolled back, and he fainted.

It's all over.

After getting his money back from Officer Jenny, Fang Yan was still thinking of arguing for a tenfold compensation for the counterfeit goods, but he was scared off by a look from Miss Goth.

"How do you know that Poké Ball doesn't contain a rare Pokémon?"

Cynthia looked at Fang Yan and asked curiously.

You can't exactly say you saw a dialect on TV, can you?

"secret."

"cut."

Cynthia turned her head away, thinking, "Fine, I won't say it. I don't want to hear it anyway."

Just as Fang Yan was about to speak, Monini ran over and grabbed Fang Yan's trouser leg.

"What's wrong, Monini?"

Monini pointed to the area in front of him that was surrounded by people, her expression excited.

"Nini, Monini."

"Should we go over there?"

Fang Yan bent down, picked up Monini, walked over, and squeezed into the crowd.

It turned out to be a food event held by a restaurant.

Trainers and their Pokémon partners choose several ingredients provided by the organizers, cook them into their best dishes, and then have the organizers, acting as judges, taste them and select the best ones.

The first-place winner will also receive an additional grand prize.

"Do you want to participate in the competition?"

After reading the introduction next to him, Fang Yan looked at Monini on his shoulder.

Monini's eyes were filled with anticipation.

Fang Yan smiled, said something to Cynthia and Gengar beside him, and then led Monini to the registration area.

After registering, Fang Yan walked to her assigned spot and glanced at the ingredients in front of her.

Green bell peppers, meat, eggs, tofu, cucumber —

These are all fairly common ingredients.

"Today you're the star, you'll be the head chef, and I'll be your assistant."

Monini turned to look at Fangyan and found Fangyan looking at it with a smile.

It nodded gratefully, then slid off Fang Yan's shoulder, went to the ingredients section, and selected a few dishes.

Fangyan gestured to Gengar, and Gengar quickly bought a small chef's hat.

The dialect put the chef's hat on Monini's head.

"It's up to you now, Mr. Monini, the head chef of the breeding center."

Monini clenched her little fists, looking very serious.

As soon as the referee dared to start, Monini quickly began preparing the ingredients.

Fang Yan was washing vegetables, while Monini held the knife in her hand, then twirled the handle against her palm twice, and with a flick of her wrist, the tofu was cut into pieces.

Monini heated the wok, poured in oil, added tofu, and stood on the high stool that Fangyan had found, constantly tossing the wok.

"What's going on? Contestant number seventeen is actually cooking with Monini?"

"Judging from its movements, it must cook often."

"I'm suddenly looking forward to its cooking."

On the judges' stand, the judges were drawn to Mominini cooking, since Mominini was the only Pokémon cooking on site, while the others were Pokémon assisting. On Fangyan's side, it was Fangyan who was assisting.

Soon, the first dish of Mapo Tofu, Monini, was ready. It looked at Fangyan, but Fangyan didn't look at it, and it suddenly became a little worried.

Fang Yan took in Monini's expression, but he didn't try to comfort her.

He wants to boost Monini's confidence in this match.

After placing the prepared green peppers and meat in front of Monini, Fang Yan went to the side to prepare the eggs and tomatoes.

Monini could only continue preparing the second dish, and soon, the second dish, green pepper and shredded pork rice, was ready.

As usual, Fang Yan brought the prepared ingredients to the third dish, but still did not look at Monini.

Monini became even more nervous.

If I lose, will Fangyan be very angry? If I lose, will my sister and the others—

As the eggs were put into the pan, Monini gathered all her thoughts and focused intently on preparing them.

Soon, the third dish, tomato and egg soup, was ready.

The time just ended.

Everyone lined up and waited for the judges to taste their food.

Fang Yan reached out and picked up Monini, letting it sit on his shoulder.

Monini looked at the judges in front of her and kept nodding. Then she saw that the other contestants' dishes were particularly beautiful, and then she looked at her own, which was simple and plain.

"Nini————"

The sound not only weakened.

Fang Yan reached out and gently scratched its nose.

"It's okay."

"Monini————"

Soon the judges came to Fang Yan and Monini. They first looked at Fang Yan, then at Monini on his shoulder, praised it, and then began to taste Monini's cooking.

First, there was the tofu, which was incredibly delicious and spicy, very appetizing. Then, I had the green pepper and shredded pork rice bowl, where the rice had a distinct texture and was soaked in broth, which was equally delicious.

Soon, the judges finished their tofu and shredded pork with green peppers rice bowl, and then, seeing the tomato and egg soup still sitting around, they picked it up and drank it.

He then gulped it down in one go.

Everyone around was stunned; no one before them had managed to get the judges to finish their dishes.

The judges remained silent and then walked to the back.

I'm eating even less.

Feeling full, the judges had already made a good decision.

When the results came out, tenth place, seventh place —

Monini's name wasn't on the third or second place list.

Until first place.

Monini and dialects!

Monini shouted happily.

"Monini!"

Fang Yan happily hugged Monini in his arms, then threw it with both hands, and Monini flew into the air.

"Gothic!"

Miss Gothic was so frightened her heart almost jumped out of her chest.

The next second, Monini fell into Miss Goth's arms, and the next second, Fang Yan flew up to the ground.

Gengar also flew up.

After landing, Monini ran over with the trophy in her arms.

"Nini."

This is for dialects.

Fang Yan, along with Monini and the trophy, hugged each other.

"Look, Monini, you're still an excellent chef even without me."

Monini's eyes were filled with a sense of wonder.

"So the food service at the breeding house will now depend on you, Chef Monini."

Monini nodded firmly.

Gengar watched from the side, feeling that it had seen this dialect somewhere before.

"Cheng Jie—"

That's strange, I can't remember.

The hotel manager came over and asked Monini if ​​she wanted to stay and work at their hotel. Monini thought about it for a while.

Looking at Fangyan, Gengar, Da Yan, Miss Skirt, Gothic, Vulpix, Cynthia, and Garchomp, I thought of Shana and Vega from the Breeding House, and shook my head.

"Monini~"

I want to go out and have the best food in the world to share with my best family and friends, so I can't stay here.

The manager nodded regretfully, then took out the grand prize.

After training, participants will enjoy a 50% discount when dining at their hotel, whether in Zhuqing City or other areas.

Fang Yan put away the grand prize, then led Monini towards Cynthia.

"That's great, Monini, you're awesome."

Cynthia praised Moni Nifl without reservation.

Monini, holding the trophy, answered with a grin.

"Nini~"

Then it handed the trophy to Gengar, who carefully took it and examined it closely.

"Cheng Jie Yi"

This is the trophy my younger brother won, hehe.

Then he put it away.
