Luring it out

"So that's why I couldn't find anyone this early in the morning. You were hiding here making breakfast with love!" Bai Tingjiao teased.

"Here, take these out and eat. I'll be done in a little while!" Xiao Ran smiled and pointed at the finished breakfasts beside him.

"Tsk, what a perfect homemaker. Don't mind if I do, then. Lingling's training on the battlefield, but I haven't seen Nian Nian anywhere. Mmm~~~ delicious!" Bai Tingjiao picked up her portion and dug straight in with her hands, not even bothering with chopsticks.

"It's fine. She went out to take care of something. She should be back soon!" Xiao Ran said casually.

"All right, then!" Bai Tingjiao shrugged. As long as she had something to eat, she was happy.

By the time Xiao Ran came out of the kitchen, Xuan Yuan Nian and Ye Ling had both arrived in the dining room and were eating the breakfast he had made.

"I borrowed a table and already set it up. We can head straight over in a bit!" Xuan Yuan Nian said as soon as Xiao Ran sat down.

"Okay, let's go after breakfast!" Xiao Ran nodded.

"Wait, what are we going to do?" Bai Tingjiao looked completely baffled. Had she forgotten something?

"Huh? You didn't tell her?" Xiao Ran looked at Xuan Yuan Nian. Since the two shared a room, he had assumed telling one of them would be enough.

"Telling her now makes no difference!" Xuan Yuan Nian said unconcernedly, leaving Xiao Ran speechless. Was this the famed fair-weather sisterhood?

"All right. Since everyone's here, I'll explain the whole thing at once." Xiao Ran sighed helplessly.

Xiao Ran had spent a long time thinking about how to catch the thieving Pokémon. In the end, he had decided to lure it out.
