When we walked out of the association building, the sunshine outside was just right. The autumn sun was not as harsh as summer, and it shone warmly on our bodies.
Reggie turned to look at Yushu: "Why don't you find a place to have a meal to celebrate?"
Yushu thought about it for a while, but was not in a hurry to go back anyway, so he agreed, "Okay, you treat me."
Reggie stared wide-eyed. "Why should I treat you?"
"Because you are older than me, it is only natural that seniors invite juniors to dinner."
Yushu said confidently.
He is 18 this year, Reggie is already 20, really two years older than him.
As the saying goes, respecting the old and loving the young is a traditional virtue. He respects the old and Reggie loves the young. There is nothing wrong with him.
Reggie was also speechless. "Your logic... OK, OK, I'll just ask for my favor, let's go."
The two found a restaurant not far from the association.
The decoration style of the restaurant is warm, with some Pokémon-themed decorative paintings hanging on the walls and several pots of green plants in the corners. The overall atmosphere makes people feel very relaxed.
There is soft music playing in the store, and the volume is just right, so it won't disturb people talking.
Still choosing a seat by the window, the two ordered steak, pasta, borscht, and a snack platter.
While waiting for the food to be served, we naturally started chatting.
Reggie asked Yushu about his next plan, "What are you going to do next? Continue to stay at Jubilife City?"
Yushu leaned back in his chair with a leisurely look. "Let's go back to the ranch. I've been away for so long. I don't know if my employees miss me."
Shuren: Maybe... a little bit?
Aili: Anyway, I don't have any!
Yushu snorted in his heart.
Aili, who is born evil, I must...
Returning to reality, Reggie smiled, picked up the water glass on the table and took a sip:
"I'm afraid they will miss you even more Pokéblock."
Yushu is not modest at all. "That's the truth. The Pokéblock I made is something that even Gym Leader can't find fault with."
"I just got the certificate and it started to drift?"
Reggie raised an eyebrow and joked.
"This is called confidence, not arrogance."
Yushu is now confident. "Now I am a licensed and formal cultivator, doing business legally and taking orders legally. What's wrong with speaking more forcefully?"
Reggie thought for a while, "Well, there's nothing wrong with it."
After a while, the waiter came over with a tray and placed the dishes on the table one by one.
The pasta is sprinkled with grated cheese and basil leaves, the steak is fried just right, with beautiful grid lines on the surface, the borscht is bright red in color, and exudes the rich aroma of tomatoes and beef.
Reggie chatted a lot, and then talked about his plan:
"I'm going back to Veilstone City to finish the final preparations for Pokémon Day Care. The license has been issued and the venue is almost ready. I just need to implement some details."
Yushu asked, "What about Pokémon who challenged Pokémon League? Take them all back?"
"Most of them will be taken back, and some will be returned to nature."
Reggie's tone was calm, but Yushu could hear a trace of reluctance in it.
There is no other way, not every Pokémon is willing to live a leisurely life, there are also some who are warlike.
The trainer will release it, and Pokémon will enter the wild to start its own journey of hegemony.
"Paul has also started traveling. The conquered Pokémon can be teleported directly home so that I can take care of it."
When Paul was mentioned, Reggie's expression became a little complicated.
Maybe, he shouldn't have taken Paul to watch that game.
Yushu noticed the change in his expression and asked, "Why do you have this expression? Paul is disobedient?"
Reggie sighed, "Actually, that's not the case. He just has a rather indifferent personality. You know, this is not a good habit for trainers."
Since that duel, Paul has become more persistent and indifferent. He doesn't know whether this is a good thing or a bad thing.
Yushu thought for a while and said tactfully:
"It's normal for a young man. He will grow up naturally when he experiences more things."
Paul was actually pretty good. Although he lost to Ash in the end due to character issues, there is no doubt about his strength.
It's very suitable to take the path of trainer.
Reggie smiled bitterly, "I hope so."
The two chatted for a while, and Reggie suddenly remembered something, put down the teacup, and looked at Yushu:
"By the way, you said before that Maylene ordered Pokéblock from you?"
Yushu nodded. "Yes, what's wrong?"
Reggie's expression became a little subtle, as if he wanted to say something but was embarrassed to say it.
Yushu Frisk felt something was wrong and narrowed his eyes. "What is your expression?"
"Nothing, just a little unexpected."
Reggie pretended to be calm, but there was a hint of unnaturalness in his voice.
"What's the surprise? Are you surprised that Maylene will order from me? Or are you surprised that my cooking is so delicious?"
Yushu raised his chin proudly.
"Can you stop being so narcissistic?"
"This is called a statement of fact."
Yushu After finishing speaking, he suddenly remembered something.
In the original novel, Reggie seems to be particularly concerned about Maylene.
Being autistic by Paul, Reggie couldn't solve it on his own, so he even bothered Ash to enlighten him.
That kind of care is not as simple as the care between friends.
His gossip radar instantly activated.
"Are you familiar with Maylene?"
"It's okay, we know each other."
Reggie's answer was a little vague and his eyes were erratic.
"Just acquaintance?"
Yushu really didn't believe it, so he just stared into Reggie's eyes.
"... What exactly do you want to ask?"
Reggie felt uncomfortable being stared at, and his body leaned back slightly.
Yushu chuckled:
"You kid, are you interested in others?"
Reggie almost choked on the soup in his mouth and coughed several times:
"I'm not! I didn't! Don't talk nonsense!"
After three consecutive denials, Yushu said, "Look, look, the reaction is so big, there must be something going on!"
"It's not like that anyway!"
"Then why are you blushing?"
"I was burned by the soup!"
Reggie pointed at the soup in front of him and tried to throw the pot to the innocent soup.
The bowl of soup lay there quietly, steaming innocently.
Tang: So? Does this all involve me?
"Oh~ that's right."
Yushu The intonation is elongated, and the meaning of ridicule is full.
Then he patted Reggie on the shoulder, looking like someone who had come here said something sincere and sincere:
"Listen to my brother's advice. If you like it, go for it boldly. Don't regret it after you miss it."
It would be interesting if Reggie really caught up with Maylene.
If Paul faces Maylene again, it will be brother-in-law versus sister-in-law.
He was already picturing that scene in his mind.
After the game, Paul taunted Maylene: "Huh, can you be Gym Leader with this strength?"
Maylene looked at Reggie: "Reggie, speak!!"
Reggie is a panicked yuppie.
On one side is Ou Doudou, on the other side is my girlfriend.
This scene is exciting just thinking about it!
Seeing Yushu's wandering state, Reggie looked helpless. "I don't understand what you are talking about at all."
"Do you know it yourself?"
Yushu No more teasing, just stop teasing.
