Pokémon, Ash's art style is off!

The green onion duck also popped its head out, fantasizing about what it would feel like to take a bath in water boiled with very hot chili peppers.

Will it leave you feeling refreshed and even give you a unique spicy scent?

After two hours of intense discussion, the chef finally let out a sigh of relief, closed his notebook, and said seriously.

"A single conversation with you is worth more than ten years of study!"

"quack!"

The green onion duck nodded repeatedly.

The scallion duck and the chef, whose favorability ratings had been maxed out, subconsciously remarked on this proverb from other regions.

After all, it's about studying.

Most people from Northeast China don't read.

If this were done in the Guandong region, where people have a strong martial spirit, then this year... it might not even be enough to multiply it by ten.

........

The next few days.

The three men and one mouse were having a wonderful time on the boat.

every day.

When Xiaogang and Xiaogang have a conversation that sparks inspiration, the chef will introduce new dishes for the three of them to try.

Naturally, it involves cooking skills.

Xiaoxia also wanted to join the group chat.

However, by chance, she couldn't resist showing off her homemade cooking skills.

The exquisite plating was so good that the clueless green onion duck was completely stunned and collapsed on the spot.

Due to the inability to provide duck soup.

The head chef also received several negative reviews.

Since then, the head chef has completely given up the idea of ​​exchanging culinary skills with Xiaoxia.

And he secretly made up his mind that he would never dare to let her touch the ingredients again, for fear that one day he would be implicated by her terrible cooking and end up having his master chef certificate revoked.

Ash, on the other hand, doesn't have as many worries.

He and Pikachu accepted all sorts of strange and unusual new dishes.

No matter what the chef serves—

Whether it was a success or a failure, whether it was too salty or too bland, Xiao Zhi ate it all up.

Firstly, thanks to Xiaoxia's training, his taste tolerance had been honed to a level far exceeding that of ordinary people, making deviations in common tastes insignificant.

Secondly, the chef uses only carefully selected natural Pokémon ingredients, which are extremely nutritious and are all rare and high-quality.

Even Ash could feel his muscles subtly developing under the intense eating.

The same goes for Pikachu.

In just a few days, the high-calorie food made it quite fat.

Even his signature abs are gradually disappearing.

A few days passed in the blink of an eye.

The ship finally docked.

The dock was bustling with people, and the sea breeze, carrying a salty, fishy smell, blew in.

The three people and one rat carried their luggage down the gangway, followed by a series of hurried footsteps.

"Ash!"

The head chef caught up, panting, carrying a large insulated bag.

In fact, taking into account Xiaozhi's appetite, this size is more like an insulated burlap sack than an insulated bag.

"I almost forgot, these are sandwiches I made this morning. You can keep them for your journey."

Xiao Zhi took the insulated bag, opened it, and saw—

The bag was full of various sandwiches, several carefully cultivated green onions from the leek duck, a few warm custard eggs, and two large jugs of fresh milk.

In just a few days, Ash had become very familiar with the chef's Pokémon.

Farfetch'd even told Ash everything about how he grew delicious scallions.

Seriously speaking, you could make a fortune with just this one skill.

"this......"

"Stop talking nonsense and take it."

The head chef waved his hand and tossed it to Xiao Zhi.

"Keep in touch. If you ever pass by this area, remember to come and visit me."

"must!"

Xiao Zhi nodded vigorously.

The head chef then looked at Xiao Gang, and the two exchanged a glance and nodded in tacit agreement.

"Exchange cooking skills anytime."

"Ah."

Xiao Gang responded, having gained a lot along the way.

The notebook was filled with at least twenty pages of notes.

"Your words..."

The chef's gaze finally fell on Xiaoxia, his lips twitching as if he were carefully choosing his words.

He simply nodded in the end.

"...Well, as long as you're happy."

Xiaoxia: "???"

Why should she just be happy when it's her turn?

So what if my cooking skills are a little ahead of the curve?

If you can't appreciate it yourself, who can you blame?

Senior Aju really likes her!

After saying goodbye.

The chef stood there wiping his sweat, watching the three figures grow smaller and smaller until they became three tiny dots.

He sighed and turned to walk back.

"What a wonderful kid, what a wonderful taste tester..." he murmured to himself, "He can eat as much as I make... Where can you find a kid like that..."

The waiter next to me carefully handed me a tissue.

"Chef, you're crying."

Chef: "......."

Gan!

I touched Slowpoke's tail this morning and didn't wash my hands. When I wiped my sweat, I got some in my eyes!

His lifelong reputation!

.......

Due to the geographical location of Pallet Town.

It's still quite a distance from the nearest dock to Pallet Town.

"Xiao Zhi, can you slow down?"

After walking all morning, Xiaoxia was panting heavily as she followed behind.

"I know you're in a hurry, but is it really necessary to be in such a rush?"

"No," Ash turned around, a sandwich dangling from his mouth, but his pace didn't slow down at all. "Isn't this just normal speed?"

Xiao Gang glanced at his and Xiao Xia's walking pace, then glanced at Xiao Zhi's.

This is hardly a "normal speed".

This is more like Ash's "normal speed".

"Ash, once you turn at that fork in the road ahead, you should be able to see Pallet Town, right?"

Xiao Gang tried to change the subject, and also to give his lungs a break.

"Yes! You'll see it once you get over that little hill!"

As Xiao Zhi spoke, instead of slowing down, he quickened his pace.

"Do we need to speed things up even more?!"

Xiaoxia was stunned; she felt her legs groaning in pain.

"Ok?"

Upon hearing this, Ash stopped, glanced at the other two, and winked, as if he had suddenly thought of something.

"I understand."

Xiaoxia breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Xiaozhi had stopped.

"I'm glad you understand... I can finally rest..."

Before I could even catch my breath, I suddenly felt a tightness in my loose chest.

Xiao Zhi grabbed the clothes on the backs of the two people, one in each hand.

Xiao Gang: "?!"
