So I'm a Dog, and You're Going to Feed Me Dog Food, Huh? (Thanks to ·M IceI FeatherM for the premium membership!)

While the three of them were eating, Cynthia arrived in Silver Town.

"Well, Lucario? Has he come here?"

Lucario looked thoroughly aggrieved. So this is what you let me out for?

Despite grumbling inwardly, he still twitched his nose and released his aura, carefully searching for that familiar scent.

Then he shook his head, indicating that he hadn't found it.

Undeterred, Cynthia took Lucario around to keep searching, focusing on the hotels.

Cynthia figured that Chen Shi would surely stay at a hotel if he came here, so all she needed to do was check every hotel in Silver Town.

With Lucario around, she wouldn't have to check the rooms one by one herself anyway.

But she had actually guessed wrong. Chen Shi wasn't staying at a hotel at all; he was staying in a villa with Steven.

Still, her efforts weren't wasted, because Chen Shi was eating in a private dining room at Silver Town's largest hotel.

Eventually, Lucario led her to the door of the private room where the three were eating, and she knocked.

The three inside were a little confused. Hadn't all the dishes been served already?

They hadn't called a waiter either, so who could be knocking?

Pheobe didn't think that much about it and eagerly scurried over to open the door.

The moment it opened, all three froze. Standing outside were Cynthia and a handsome Lucario.

Steven and Pheobe immediately turned their gazes toward Chen Shi.

She'd tracked him down by scent again!

Chen Shi hurriedly stood up. "Miss Cynthia, what brings you here? Come in and sit down."

A flicker of delight crossed Cynthia's eyes when she first saw him, but her expression quickly turned cool.

"I told you there's no need to be so formal. Just call me Severe Indecisiveness."
