The clamor of summer finally passed. As the first leaf gradually yellowed, autumn finally arrived in Bingzhou.
At seven in the morning on October 1, Bingzhou No. 1 High School, which should have been quiet, was bustling instead. Every class was preparing for the School Anniversary Celebration, and the students were decorating their activity rooms.
"Hey, hey, be careful over there!" Inside Pokémon Class 1, Sun Yanling called out anxiously. "If you can't stick that balloon up, let a Pokémon do it. You stacked two chairs to stand on-if you don't fall, who will?"
"Be careful over there, too! Don't play with those kitchen knives!"
On the windowsill, Cheng Tian walked carefully with a rag in hand. Frogadier kept spraying water onto the windows, throwing in some bubbles along the way. A wipe of Cheng Tian's rag left them spotless.
Once Cheng Tian finished wiping, Su Han had Sylveon extend its ribbons and hang colorful satin printed with Pikachu faces on the wall.
Pokémon and students alike had worked together to decorate the venue. Once everything was ready, Sun Yanling nodded in satisfaction. "Now we just have to wait until the gates open at eight."
"Teacher, I have a question," a boy suddenly asked.
"What is it?"
"What are we making?" the boy asked. "Food, of course. Isn't our theme a restaurant?" Sun Yanling found his question strange.
"Uh... I mean, what food are we making?"
"Everyone can make whatever they know how to cook..." Looking at the students avoiding her gaze, Sun Yanling suddenly realized a serious problem.
"Don't tell me none of you can cook?"
"I can boil water." "I can wash vegetables." "I can carry pots." "I can plate food." "I can eat!" "Me too!"
"I asked which of you can cook!" Sun Yanling shouted.
Deathly silence...
