Pokémon: The Journey of Ordinary People

Originally, Zhang Yu wanted to ask the trio to help wash the vegetables, but they were so dirty, so he had no choice but to find a homestay and borrow the bathroom for them to wash.

"Grandma, thank you for lending us the bathroom~" Zhang Yu thanked the owner of the B&B. In order to earn money while lying down, he could not save on the necessary expenses for employees.

“Hahaha, young man, you’re welcome. I’m bored at home alone. If it weren’t for the legendary celebration, there wouldn’t be many people on this island.” The grandma at the B&B laughed while giving Meow Meow a bath.

"Meow~ Meow~" (It feels so good, meow)

In order not to attract other people's attention, Zhang Yu asked Miaomiao not to speak human language.

But Musashi and Kojiro didn't have any change of clothes, and Zhang Yu was about to rent clothes for the celebration, but grandma dug out clothes from her and her husband's youth from the closet.

As for Meow Meow, it has hair on its body.

"This is the clothes my husband and I wore when we were young. If you don't mind, you can wear them." Grandma handed the clothes to the two of them and smiled as they thanked her.

"Wow, grandma, you're so nice." The trio hadn't felt the love and care from others for a long time since they joined Team Rocket.

Half an hour later, the trio had finished changing clothes. Before leaving, Zhang Yu gave his grandmother some local specialties that he bought on other islands as a thank you, and said that he would visit her again when he had time.

-

"Hey, you three, why did you join Team Rocket to do bad things?" Zhang Yu looked at their pitiful hungry appearance and took out the rice balls he made. After all, how can you work if you are not full?

I didn't expect that they would eat the rice balls without any fillings with gusto.

"Um...well...haha." After putting the last rice ball in his hand into his mouth, Musashi smiled awkwardly.

"Well, even though the Flower Warriors are so nice to us, we also have secrets that we can't tell, meow~" Meow licked the rice grains on his paws.

Kojiro also nodded.

(｀⌒′メ)It seems that I have given too much favor.

Zhang Yu swung the whip in his hand and said, "Don't call me Flower Warrior! Call me boss from now on. Since you don't want to say it, then go work for me!"

The trio was so frightened that they almost forgot that they were still prisoners.

The three of them stood at attention in unison: "Yes, Boss!"

......

Back at the stall, under Zhang Yu's arrangement, Musashi picked the vegetables, Meow Meow washed them, and Kojiro made a fire and set up the oven.

What’s a celebration without barbecue?

Zhang Yu planned to set up a barbecue stall in the evening, but he also had Pokémon dumplings, tree fruit dumplings and the like, and the knowledge he had learned as a breeder came in handy.

The trio was busy in the front, and he and the stinky flower ink seahorse sat on the chairs in the back to rest. It was really good, someone worked for him without paying. Only three dumplings were consumed a day.

Soon it was evening, the air became cooler, and tourists came to the streets to buy things.

Surprisingly, there were quite a lot of customers at the barbecue stall. Zhang Yu tried the octopus balls made by Kojiro and found that they tasted quite good.

Since he had someone to help him with the work, Zhang Yu decided not to cook and instead went to enjoy the celebration.

"Stinky Flower, please stay here and watch them. If they don't obey and try to escape, just tie them up with the rattan whip."

"Haha!╰(*′︶`*)╯" Stinky Flower nodded obediently. Then she stared at the trio seriously.

"The boss is gone meow~ Should we run away meow!"

Looking at Zhang Yu's leaving figure, Meow Meow whispered to Musashi.

"Stupid Meowth! Don't forget that we've taken poison! And Skank is here too, do you think we can run away?" Musashi shook his head helplessly.

Kojiro was happily selling barbecue and didn't hear them talking at all.

"Pah! Hana!"

It seemed as if Stinky Flower had awakened some bloodline, and it whipped the two people who were slacking off, telling them to work hard and not be lazy.

"Woooa! Got it, meow~"

-

The camera turned to Zhang Yu, who was strolling around, holding the black seahorse and enjoying snacks.

"Dong dong clang clang!"

Suddenly, at the end of the street, a group of people wearing local costumes and beating drums and gongs appeared.

"Is this the etiquette of the celebration?" Zhang Yu watched them pass by with interest.

At the front of the team is a girl wearing a feather crown. She must be the Saint of the celebration.

However, when the team came in front of Zhang Yu, they suddenly stopped.

The feather-crowned girl came up to him and asked, "Excuse me, are you a Pokémon trainer?"

Zhang Yu was a little confused, but still answered that he was a trainer.

After hearing the affirmative answer, the girl became a little excited and continued to ask.

"Sure enough! Are you a native of the Orange Islands?"

Zhang Yu thought about it, shook his head and said, "Probably not. I'm traveling right now."

"Great! We've found the hero! Then as per convention, let's give him a kiss first!" The girl looked very happy, and before Zhang Yu could react, she gave him a quick kiss on the face.

"Hey! What do you mean?" Zhang Yu was shocked. Why did he say that for no reason?

"Hahaha, don't be nervous, young man. Our legendary celebration here requires a trainer from outside the area to serve as a hero. But for these past few days, it's basically all locals. Even if there are people from outside the area, they are just tourists, not trainers." An old man in sacrificial robes explained.

Zhang Yu suddenly realized and remembered what Liuli had told him before, but he didn't expect that he would be chosen to be a hero.

"Um, can I choose not to be the chairman? I have something else and can't get away these few days..." He actually didn't want to be the chairman, mainly because he was afraid of trouble. He originally came here to rest, but now he is busy again.

Hearing Zhang Yu’s refusal, the girl felt a little depressed.

But the old man immediately said, "Don't be so hasty to refuse, brave man. In fact, all you need to do is go to the nearby Three Divine Bird Islands on the day of the celebration and get the treasures that have been placed there in advance! It won't waste any time."

"And...the brave can eat and drink for free during the Legend Celebration~" the old man leaned close to Zhang Yu's ear and whispered.

When he heard it was free, Zhang Yu instantly became excited.

"Ahem! I think the celebration is more important. I've made up my mind! I will do my duty as the hero says!"

The girl's eyes sparkled again. She happily put the brave feather crown on Zhang Yu and a small wreath on Mo Haima.

"Ha! (=^▽^=)"

Mo Haima was very satisfied with the girl's understanding.

Zhang Yu then joined their parade and walked around the town to get familiar with everyone. That was the end of the night's activities.

From now on, they only need to parade once every night until the day of the celebration. The girl also gave Zhang Yu a wooden plaque representing his identity as a brave man.

After saying goodbye to the other party, Zhang Yu returned to the stall, and the number of customers gradually decreased.

The trio continued to work and nothing went wrong.

"Thank you for your hard work, Stinky Flower."

After patting Stinky Flower’s head, Zhang Yu came to the trio.

“How was the profit today?”

Kojiro immediately turned around and gave the money earned from selling barbecue to Zhang Yu. Since Chouchou was watching, they didn't dare to keep it for themselves.

I took the cash box and counted it, and unexpectedly I made quite a lot of money!

There are actually 2000 Pokécoins! It turns out that setting up a stall at a big event is the right thing to do.

"Well done! But you still need to work harder! Let's stop here for today. Don't waste the remaining ingredients. Use them as your dinner." Zhang Yu has not yet reached the level of a black-hearted capitalist, and did not let the trio close the stall on an empty stomach.

"Woo woo woo! Thank you, boss!" x3

Look! They have to thank us!
