Pokémon: The Journey of Ordinary People

The Pikachu Sushi restaurant is located next to the Pokémon Center. It seems to have a good reputation and there are quite a lot of people queuing up.

"Wow...it's time for dinner, there are so many people..." Liliai felt a little regretful. She has been in Vermilion City for several days, and this is the only restaurant that has good food.

If you queue up you have to wait a long time.

"My stomach is growling, Ayu, do you want to eat anything?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yu said that he was fine with eating anything.

"Usually I only eat meals prepared by professional chefs...there's really nothing delicious here..." Liliai muttered softly, she didn't know what to do.

Seeing that Liliai was a little embarrassed, Zhang Yu had an idea.

"Hey, I have an idea!"

"Since you don't know what to eat, let me cook!"

"Hey!! A-Yu, can you cook? That's amazing!!"

"I know nothing about cooking. Usually, it's cooked by professional chefs... This time I finally found a restaurant with better food." Liliai was very surprised. She just knew that Zhang Yu could cook.

"Special chef..." I felt offended. As a child from a poor family, it was hard to imagine hiring a chef.

The two came to Liliai's house and prepared to cook for themselves.

"But, Liliae, you also have property in Vermilion City?"

"Uh, is there anything strange about that? I have a house in every city in Kanto. How else would I live?" Liliai was a little surprised by Zhang Yu's question.

"..."

I really want to punch this unfair world to pieces.

Looking at the 120-square-meter apartment in front of me, in Kuye City, a highly international city, every inch of land is worth a lot of money.

It's hard, the fist is hard.

The kitchen is very large, brand new and fully equipped with all kinds of kitchen utensils.

But you still have to buy food.

Lilia paid for all the groceries, saying how could she let him cook and pay for them at the same time.

"It's a big city after all. It has everything. This time, I'll let you have a good taste of my cooking skills."

After buying a lot of ingredients, Zhang Yu was ready to get started.

Seeing Liliai making the dishwashing water all over the floor, Zhang Yu politely asked her to leave. Only his stinky flower and Liliai's two beautiful flowers were left in the kitchen to help.

Mo Haima went out to play with the eldest lady.

After a while, bursts of tempting aroma came from the kitchen.

"This taste! This is a dish I've never eaten before!"

Looking at Liliae's greedy look, the black seahorse showed a look of contempt.

"Ha!" (Have you never eaten anything good?)

Suddenly the kitchen door opened.

"It's time to eat!"

"Great!"

As the dishes were served one by one, Liliae and several Pokémon could hardly wait.

Wait until the last dish is served.

They were already seated in a row at the table.

After the hard-working chef sat down

"I'm starting—"

"Wow! So delicious!! Even better than what my chef makes!!"

Getting compliments from diners is the happiest thing for a chef. Seeing how much they enjoy the food, Zhang Yu also feels very satisfied.

"Burp~ I feel so full~" Liliae burped generously. She was so full that she didn't want to walk anymore.

"Hana~"

Several Pokémon ate specially prepared food and also lay on chairs to digest their food.

"By the way, Ayu, you cook delicious food and you're good at fighting. There must be a lot of girls who like you." Liliai asked this question out of nowhere.

“…No…” Your attack power seems a bit high today.

Zhang Yu's mother has been single for more than 20 years and has never been in a relationship except for poverty.

Besides, he has a clear understanding of himself. He is 173cm tall, of average build and looks. He doesn't know how to talk, and is a pure ordinary man.

On Earth, he was almost falsely accused of secretly taking photos, because it was clearly his phone that accidentally fell to the ground. He explained for a long time before the other party reluctantly believed him. However, the next day, when he was surfing the Internet, he found that he had been hung up for a long time.

"...I didn't enjoy any of the benefits of being a man, but I suffered all the hardships." I don't understand those people who say that being a man is good every day, but who can make up for what I lack?

"I'm so ordinary, how could any girl like me..."

Zhang Yu smiled. He had let it go a long time ago. It was good for him to live alone. As long as he didn't get falsely accused of secretly taking photos again, it would be fine.

"Huh? How could that be? I think you have a lot of good qualities. You're gentle to others, you keep your promises, and you cook deliciously!" Liliae couldn't believe it.

"...Thank you for your affirmation, but I really didn't lie to you. I'm not tall, handsome, or rich..."

Zhang Yu once heard a saying that warm-hearted men come after sweet-tempered men. In his era, boys who had just graduated were basically poor, while girls were basically in their prime (don’t bring in the rich second generation, I’m talking about ordinary people). Coupled with all kinds of praise and criticism on the Internet, the main phenomenon leading to inferiority complex among boys is the result.

"Ayu, you are too realistic. Isn't it enough for two people to like each other? Also, height and other things are useless. Ability is the most important. Can you become the league champion just by being tall?" Liliai obviously couldn't understand Zhang Yu's thoughts.

Although she is a young lady, she also travels everywhere and has met many ordinary couples who have harmonious relationships and are working hard to make their lives better.

As for those who dislike others for this or that, we are all children of our parents. If you dislike me, you can leave, but if you want to mock me, then let's have a Pokémon Duel in which you can attack trainers.

"That's right, this is no longer Earth. It's normal to have different perspectives." Zhang Yu thought to himself that his thinking was rigid.

Because in the Pokémon world, Pokémon is the mainstream. No matter whether you are a man or a woman, as long as you have the ability, you will be respected and loved.

“I see…” Indeed, the two worlds are very different.

Zhang Yu sincerely thanked Liliai for her affirmation and said that he would consider her words carefully.

After chatting for a long time, I felt less full, so I cleaned up the battlefield and went out to have a look. This is an international metropolis, so I must take a good look at it.

Zhang Yu held the stinky flower in one hand and held the black seahorse in the other.

Liliae was holding Meimei and Huahua's hands.

The two people and four Pokémon were strolling slowly on the street.

Unlike in the Orange Islands, the Pokémon in Vermilion City are very involved in life. The docks have the strange power to load and unload goods, there are Tousled Gull couriers flying in the sky, and there are people riding Pokémon like Thunder Zebra on the streets.

Zhang Yu has gained a lot of knowledge.

The two walked and stopped in front of a building.

Looking at the hexagonal emblem in front of the door, Liliae asked, "Ayu, do you want to challenge the Withered Leaf Gym?"

Zhang Yu shook his head. Unlike the gym he had seen in the Orange Islands before, the Dead Leaf Gym obviously looked much more formal. There were trainers registering for challenges at the door, and there were specific records on the map.

"Liliae, what are the requirements to become a Pokémon Master?"

"Eh? Ayu, do you want to become a Pokémon Master? Well... although I don't know much about other things, there is one necessary condition, which is to become the champion of a regional tournament." Liliae replied.

It seems to be the same as what everyone on the boat said at that time. So, the first goal should be to become the champion of the conference!
