Tong Hua narrowed his eyes and carefully studied the three vendors in Bewear costumes.
A long-haired, pink-haired woman was calling out at the top of her lungs to draw in customers, a handsome man with short blue hair was preparing food, and a Meowth seemed to be performing ventriloquism, speaking human language to attract customers-
"No way-could it really be them?"
Tong Hua's feet carried him toward them almost involuntarily. He couldn't help it. They were the "real protagonists" of the Pokémon anime, after all!
Cooks and supporting girls came and went, but the Team Rocket Trio was forever!
The lovely and charming villains, Jessie, James, and Meowth, had arrived!
"Hatt?"
Seeing Tong Hua stop, Hattrem poked his head in confusion.
"I'm fine-didn't you want something to eat? Perfect, let's go buy one!"
"Hatt?"
Tong Hua walked toward the stall with Hattrem, and Jessie immediately greeted them enthusiastically. "Welcome! Would you like a special jumbo Malasada?
"Guaranteed to be the finest flavor in all of Alola!"
Seeing a customer approach, James elegantly placed some freshly fried bread in a box and drizzled it with glistening honey syrup, as though putting on a special performance inside the food truck.
"Two, please!"
"Coming right up!" Jessie deftly packed them up. "That'll be 600 League Coins!"
A serving of fried bread drenched in syrup cost only 300 League Coins. It was considerably more affordable than even the goods at Tong Hua's own Happy Dessert House.
Tong Hua took the steaming jumbo Malasadas. The golden bread balls were plump and round, fried to a crisp on the outside. The honey syrup drizzled over them sparkled in the morning light, giving off an enticingly sweet fragrance.
"Hatt~" Hattrem eagerly took a bite, and her curls immediately swayed with delight.
"So hot! So sweet! So soft!
