I just want to give the elves a home. What's wrong with that?

"This is Lingshui City?!"

Li Ran walked out of the station and looked at the building in front of him and had a very strange feeling.

Lingshui City seems to be built in the sea. All the buildings are like huge blue water balls, reflecting the clouds in the sky, giving people a feeling of being in the ocean.

And those clouds are like fish.

"It looks like there's delicious fish here, meow~"

Meow Meow's voice was heard, and he was carrying a silver fishing rod on his back and wearing a sun hat, looking very professional.

The charcoal servant standing by folded his arms across his chest and nodded with satisfaction, an expression that said, "You have already accomplished your goal."

"We'll go later. Let's go to the hotel we booked first to get familiar with the route. What if we get lost?"

Li Ran put his hands on the heads of the two elves and stopped them.

As soon as these two guys see a suitable beach, they will run out of the Poké Ball on their own. Li Ran calls their behavior the fisherman's intuition.

"Yes~ meow~"

Li Ran finally breathed a sigh of relief after moving the luggage all the way to the other side. He had bought a lot of local specialties these days and planned to send them all back at once before returning home.

"Well, let's go fishing, Meow!"

"Eda!"

"Remember to come back before dinner."

Li Ran waved his hand and let the two little guys go. Anyway, they wouldn't encounter any powerful elves in the city, nor would there be organizations like Team Rocket. In short, it was still safe. And even if they got lost, they wouldn't have to worry about getting lost with Meow Meow's talent of speaking human language.

"Come out, everyone. You must be bored all the way here."

Li Ran threw out all the Poké Balls. Some of the Pokémon he captured along the way had been teleported back to the Asakusa Research Institute, except for the Milotic, which was too big and could only move freely in a body of water on its own.

"Gardevoir, come and help me!"

Li Ran walked into the kitchen and started preparing dinner. Recently, everyone had grown tired of eating energy cubes, so he needed to make some hot meals, and the energy cubes could be ground into powder and mixed into the dishes.

"Sora!"

Gardevoir ran happily to the kitchen. It preferred cooking to fighting, and now it could make some simple breakfast and biscuits.

......

"Why haven't these two guys come back yet? I was thinking about adding more dishes."

In the past, whenever Miaomiao and Tan Xiaoshi went fishing, they always returned with a full load, never coming back empty-handed, so Li Ran couldn't help but look forward to it.

dong dong.

The sudden knock on the door made Li Ran happy and he quickly ran over to open the door.

"You guys are back... Why is it you, Sister Shaoli?"

Outside the door, there was a person blocking the way for Miaomiao and Tan Xiaoshi. It was Li Shaoli, whom they had not seen for a long time.

"You still have the nerve to say it."

Li Shaoli walked directly into the room and called in the two little elves behind her who had their heads lowered the whole time.

"If it weren't for me, both of your elves would have been taken to the detention center."

"what happened?"

Li Ran looked at the two elves in surprise. The buckets behind the two elves were full of fish. Could they have been robbed?

"That's it, meow..."

After listening, Li Ran also understood why Li Shaoli said that the two elves were almost caught. Because they fished for a while on the beach without any results, they turned around and went to the neighboring fish pond, but that fish pond was contracted by someone, and the fish in the pond all belonged to the farmer.

Just when the two were about to leave after catching enough fish, they were discovered by the owner of the fish pond, who then asked them for money for the fish, but the two little ones had no money to pay.

Fortunately, when Li Shaoli was passing by the beach on her way home from get off work, she heard a quarrel and discovered that a cat could speak human language, which aroused her interest.

After listening for a while and hearing a familiar name, he came forward to ask about the whole incident and helped pay for the fish. Only then did the owner of the fish pond let the two little fish go.

"Hurry up and thank them."

"Thank you, meow~"

"Ida~"

After listening to this, Li Ran immediately spoke to the two kids, who lowered their heads to thank him. Then Li Ran gave the money for buying the fish to Li Shaoli, but she just waved her hand indifferently.

"But your cat has done a great job. If it hadn't been able to talk, I wouldn't have known you were in Zero Water City. Next, you're going to challenge my Zero Water Gym, right?"

After saying that, she looked in the direction of Xiaolong and Gardevoir. Although she guessed that the other party might have reached the master level, she still couldn't help but sigh after seeing it with her own eyes.

"Ah."

Li Ran was not at all surprised by her words. The other party had a special relationship with Feng Ke, so it was normal to hear it from him.

"By the way, Sister Shaoli, do you want to eat with me? I cooked a lot of rice."

Seeing that the other party did not charge for the fish, Li Ran suddenly remembered something and asked hurriedly. Li Shaoli did not refuse this time. After all, the aroma of the food made her stomach rumble.

"Then I'll shamelessly stay and have a free meal."

Li Ran quickly took the fish caught by the two elves to the kitchen to process them.

The water quality in the elf world is very clean, without any pollution, so Li Ran directly made these fish into sashimi.

"The meat from this fish pond is quite sweet!"

Li Ran simply dipped it in soy sauce, his eyes lit up and he exclaimed in praise.

"It's called a fish pond, but it's actually almost the same as free-range fish. His fish pond is just a net stretched over the seashore."

Li Shaoli explained and stuffed a few slices of sashimi into her mouth. She was a local and couldn't tell whether it was fresh or not. Instead, the other home-cooked dishes made by Li Ran whetted her appetite.

He ordered three more bowls of rice and then wiped his lips with a tissue in satisfaction.

"Your skills are more than enough to open a shop."

"Yeah, after the League Tournament is over, I will just quit my position as gym leader and open a small restaurant."

Li Ran was very excited and suddenly understood after hearing Li Shaoli's advice.

"I heard Feng Ke say before that you don't want to be a trainer. Now it seems to be true."

Li Shaoli looked at him and smiled, but she didn't say anything. She also learned from Feng Ke that Li Ran almost died in that incident.

"I think it's about time for me to go back. I'll help you arrange your fight."

Li Shaoli raised her wrist and looked at her watch. It was already late.

"Okay, do you want me to take you there?"

Looking at the sky, Li Ran felt a little worried. After all, Li Shaoli was also a girl.

"No, my family has sent someone to protect me."

Li Ran suddenly realized that it seemed that the Xiangwei Miao had completed its evolution, and Li Shaoli was accepted by the Li family again. In addition to Li Shaoli's own talent, it was not surprising to send someone to protect her.
