On the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, Lorelei returned to work at the company and switched back into career-woman mode.
After spending a carefree week lazing around, Young Master Mao was also ready to pack up and return to the Hoenn Region.
After all, Rustboro Academy started its new term in February. As a teacher with professional integrity, Young Master Mao wasn't about to lead the way in skipping class...
He returned to Pallet Town and spent a whole day playing wildly with all his Pokémon. Only after adjusting his team again did Young Master Mao leave home.
The regular team Young Master Mao currently carried consisted of:
Eevee, Charizard, Togetic, Aggron, Gardevoir, Dusknoir, Blaziken, Sceptile, Absol, Milotic, Salamence, and Lucario.
Charizard was back on the front lines!
As for his mythical Pokémon, he had Celebi and Jirachi, the adorable duo who played cute!
Now that his first-string Pokémon, including Eevee and Charizard, were gradually maturing, Young Master Mao had confidence to spare.
To put it bluntly, with Eevee and Charizard's strength, Young Master Mao wouldn't panic unless Rose came charging straight at him carrying Eternatus~
Viridian City...
The New Year atmosphere had yet to fade. Red lanterns still hung high throughout the streets and alleys, and festive cheer still lit the faces of passersby.
Young Master Mao wore a black casual suit, with a light-colored trench coat and a white scarf over it.
With Eevee perched on his shoulder, he stood at a pastry shop on a street corner.
"That one. Give me a box of Eight Great Pastries, then some rice cakes and Rolling Donkey, and Peach Crisps too~" Young Master Mao only stopped after buying two large pastry boxes in one go.
"Mm, won't Uncle be over the moon when he sees these pastry boxes?"
