Jubilife Pokémon Restaurant.
"Are you all right?"
Elder Uncle had been lost in the bliss of enjoying good food when he noticed Jonathan's eyes suddenly grow moist.
A large hand waved in front of Jonathan's eyes, pulling him out of his memories.
Jonathan's eyes were already brimming with tears, but he wasn't sad. If anything, he felt happy.
He gently wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, a happy smile spreading across his face.
"I'm fine. It just reminded me of my mom, and of my childhood."
Elder Uncle mused, "That makes sense. A lot of people who eat this dish Xiao Wei makes seem to think of their moms."

As a renowned architectural designer, Jonathan had tasted all sorts of delicacies.

Elder Uncle nodded emphatically. "He did. Even my dad can't make something that feels like this."
Jonathan couldn't help seeing Li Wei in a new light.

"But I've heard the women at the company talking about him. They all seem to say Li Wei is a Pokémon Breeder."
Jonathan wasn't being nosy. There were simply so many people
