Chuck, who gained weight even from drinking water

Having courage is good, but the difference in strength meant that the outcome was the same for everyone. Roy threw all the Gym apprentices off the ring one by one.

Some of the apprentices who were thrown off got up and rushed back to the ring, only to be thrown off again by Roy.

The dozens of apprentices in the Gym couldn't get Roy to move out of the circle drawn by Chuck.

Below the ring were the Gym apprentices, who had been shaped into a pyramid, with Sumo apprentices at the very bottom.

Looking at his record, Roy nodded in satisfaction, then turned to look at Chuck below the ring.

"Can I go eat now?"

"Let's go, I've already told your sister-in-law, the rice should be ready by now."

Chuck tried to put his arm around Roy's shoulder, but Roy was almost a head taller than him, and his hand could only reach Roy's neck at most, so he had to give up in the end.

As Roy walked, he turned to face the group piled up in a pyramid shape and said:

"Good performance today, everyone will receive double the Pokémon Trainer Contribution Points this month."

The previously dejected crowd instantly became excited, shouting "Long live the Master!"

The Sumo apprentice at the bottom of the stack got up, threw off all the other apprentices who were pressing down on him, and walked out of the Gym, leaning against the wall.

"By the way, you guys go eat out today. The food at home..." Chuck glanced at Roy beside him and said impatiently, "It probably won't be enough."

Chuck clearly knew Roy's appetite.

Roy followed Chuck out from the back of the Gym, and Chuck's house was right in front of them.

Chuck's house is behind the Gym; it's a single-story building consisting of four rooms and a large courtyard.

Before entering the garden, Chuck specifically instructed Roy:

"Don't talk nonsense once you're inside."

"Don't worry, I will never tell your sister-in-law about you cheating on her."

Chuck felt something was off and looked at Roy beside him.

"What do you mean by 'stealing food'? It was when Bruno caught me sneaking a midnight snack... and you're not allowed to tell anyone about it!!"

After repeatedly warning Roy, Chuck pushed open the courtyard gate, and Roy followed behind Chuck into the other party's house.

As soon as Roy arrived at the door of the largest room, he smelled the aroma of food.

This made Roy, who had only eaten grilled fish for lunch, instantly swallow hard. Chuck had always boasted at Bruno's dojo that his wife was a great cook.

It now appears that Chuck wasn't lying.

Upon entering the room Roy also met Chuck's wife, a gentle-looking woman wearing an apron.

The other party also appeared in the anime, cooking for Chuck and the Gym apprentices.

The other person is currently arranging dishes on the table, and next to them is Machamp, an Intermediate King level Chuck Pokémon.

Roy explained why Chuck hadn't sent out his main force Machamp, in the previous battle; it turned out the opponent was here.

At this moment, Machamp was helping Chuck's wife carry the dishes. This is when the advantage of having four hands came in handy. Machamp held a plate of food in each hand and placed it steadily on the table.

"Rena, I'm back!"

Rena (neither the anime nor the manga Pokémon Adventures mention the name of Chuck's wife; this name was made up by Lao Zuo himself).

Rena glanced at the boy who had returned with Chuck, quickly wiped her hands casually on her apron, and walked up to the two of them.

Chuck introduced Roy to Rena.

"This kid is the one I told you about meeting in Saffron City."

Rena warmly welcomed Roy into the house.

Roy said that Rena and Chuck together were like Beauty and the Beast.

Rena laughed at his words, and the atmosphere in the room Splash.

Rena told Roy to sit down quickly; she was preparing the meal, and it would be ready soon.

What beauty and the beast?

Chuck, who was called a beast, was not in a good mood, but he didn't dare to say anything because his wife was happy. He could only vent his resentment on Roy.

His eyes were wide open, like saucers, staring straight at Roy.

Roy acted as if he hadn't seen anyone, treating himself as an outsider without any hesitation. He casually found a seat and sat down, while greeting the Machamp who was setting out the plates.

"Machamp, long time no see."

"Machamp."

Upon hearing the familiar voice Machamp turned around and looked at Roy, waving his hands behind his back as a Roy.

It's hard to imagine that in the future, Bea from the Galar region would Norman from Galar to find Chuck to practice Fighting type arts.

After Rena brought out two more plates of washed Berry, the meal was finally complete, and she urged Roy to quickly try a few bites.

"Then I won't stand on ceremony."

Roy ate heartily from the rice bucket in front of him, praising Rena's cooking skills as he ate.

Chuck's ability to marry Rena is truly a blessing from his past life.

While making Rena happy, Chuck's eyes widened again. He couldn't believe that Roy could still eat if he kept staring at him like that.

As it turned out, Chuck was overthinking it. Roy, who wasn't stressed at all, not only ate well, but also ate with great relish, making Chuck, who was next to him, envious.

Seeing that Roy was about to empty the plate of food, Chuck quickly grabbed his own bowl and tried to grab some rice from Roy's plate.

He regretted inviting Roy to stay for dinner, and Roy would be staying at his house for meals for the next few days.

Seeing Roy's exaggerated eating habits, Rena also tried to dissuade him:

"Eat slowly, don't choke. If you're still hungry, I'll make more. You can have some too, Machamp."

Machamp sat down next to Chuck very familiarly, picked up his rice bucket and looked at Rena. Rena took out four Pokéblock and put them into Machamp's rice bucket.

For Chuck and Rena, Machamp was practically no different from family.

After Chuck's introduction, Roy learned that Rena was actually an Advanced Breeder, and that the Pokémon of the apprentices in the Gym were almost all fed with Pokéblock made by Rena.

Furthermore, Rena usually prepares meals for Chuck and the other Gym apprentices, so she always prepares a lot of food.

Seeing that Roy had finished the whole bucket of rice in just a few minutes, Rena quickly went to get Roy another bucket of rice.

After finishing his bucket of rice, Chuck saw that Roy and Machamp were still eating and couldn't help but sigh at how much young people could eat.

Rena, who had already finished eating and was drinking tea nearby, nodded in agreement.

Then her gaze was drawn to Chuck 'Chuck belly, and she looked at it with disgust.

"Chuck, your belly has gotten so loose lately."

After saying that, Rena patted Chuck's belly speechlessly, and the flesh on it rippled like waves.

Roy chimed in, suggesting that Chuck 'Chuck food rations should be reduced so that he could go hungry for a few days.

"Hurry up and eat, even eating can't shut you up!"

Chuck immediately gave Roy two large bowls of rice, telling Roy to stop stirring things up.

At the same time, he couldn't understand why Roy, who ate much more than him, showed no signs of gaining weight.

I can gain ten pounds just by drinking a glass of water.

Water?

Chuck, who had originally wanted to drink water, silently put down the water glass in his hand.

Roy couldn't resist adding insult to injury:

"If you could gain weight just by Water Capital, you wouldn't be here now; you'd be at Professor Oak's Oak Research Lab researching how to generate energy from water that can be used by humans and Pokémon."
