The tails of Farfetch'd and Slowpoke were both considered delicacies in common knowledge.
This was akin to people considering cows, sheep, and pigs as food.
Thus, presenting these did not seem too out of place.
Of course, if some insisted on disliking or refusing to eat them, Ye Feng could do nothing.
However, overall, these practices were ultimately inhumane.
And both were Pokémon, not ordinary animals.
Therefore, the protection of Farfetch'd and Slowpoke was becoming increasingly rigorous.
But their deliciousness was undeniable.
Another point was that Nurse Joy's reaction made Ye Feng feel very comfortable.
He left the kitchen and quietly waited for the cooking Nurse Joy.
Two hours later.
Nurse Joy began serving dishes onto the large table at the Pokémon Center.
First, it was stir-fried Slowpoke tails with chili.
Spicy and refreshing.
The second dish was braised tail.
Comparable to braised pork knuckle.
The third was a soup made with the tail.
In addition to these, there were several vegetable dishes to cleanse the palate.
Finally, Nurse Joy brought out the grand finale.
A large plate of sliced roasted duck.
The sweet and sour sauce, soy sauce, thin pancakes for wrapping, shredded cucumber, and thin slices of the large scallion from the Farfetch'd were all prepared.
"It smells so good, no wonder they are almost extinct from being eaten."
Ye Feng eagerly took a bite of the roasted duck made from Farfetch'd.
Hiss, the taste was so much better than ordinary roasted duck.
Moreover, you had to consider, how big is an ordinary duck?
Around four to five catties when adult, maybe six to seven catties if well-grown.
But a Farfetch'd?
Fifteen kilograms!
That's thirty catties!
What a difference!
Therefore, this was simply a super roasted duck.
Enough for several people.
Nurse Joy served Ye Feng a bowl of rice.
Just as she finished serving herself, the door of the Pokémon Center suddenly opened.
It was Shang Ren returning.
Shang Ren's face was filled with disappointment; it was clear he hadn't found his Farfetch'd.
Oh, how pitiful.
Ye Feng smiled and said, "Shang Ren, I see you haven't found it, and neither have I. Don't ducks like water? I imagine your Farfetch'd might be swimming somewhere?"
"Come, have some food."
"Man is iron, rice is steel, one meal missed leads to hunger."
"After you eat, you can search again tomorrow. If you really can't find it, then just find another Pokémon that knows 'Slash', wouldn't that be fine?"
Ye Feng's words made sense.
Besides, it was already dark outside, and they were in the forest.
Shang Ren, this charcoal-making young man, had no choice.
He could only come over to eat.
Initially, he had no appetite, as he hadn't found his Farfetch'd yet.
But he was drawn in by the aroma of the delicious food on the table.
He accepted a bowl of rice.
And began to eat.
He praised as he ate.
Finally, his chopsticks landed on the roasted duck.
He took a slice and put it in his mouth.
Shang Ren exclaimed in surprise, "This roasted duck is so delicious!"
"Delicious? Then eat more."
Ye Feng placed several slices into Shang Ren's bowl.
Shang Ren nodded as he ate.
Then he became somewhat curious:
"Ye Feng, where did this duck come from? It looks quite large, with so much meat."
Ye Feng replied, "Oh, I went out to look for your Farfetch'd but didn't find it. However, I did find some wild ducks, so I caught them all and made them into roasted duck."
Shang Ren didn't doubt him and nodded.
Ye Feng watched Shang Ren eat his Farfetch'd and praise it, thinking this was the true way for humans and Pokémon to live in harmony.
Besides, that Farfetch'd was always disobedient, so he considered it a good deed.
He had helped Shang Ren find a more obedient Pokémon.
After dinner.
Shang Ren left the Pokémon Center and returned to his home.
He lived with his master, and both master and disciple were charcoal makers.
Their charcoal was famous far and wide.
"What a shame. If I had used the charcoal made by Shang Ren to roast your duck, it would probably have tasted even more fragrant."
Looking at the departed Shang Ren, Ye Feng chuckled.
Nurse Joy, who had appeared at some point, put her arm around his shoulder.
She smiled and said, "Ye Feng, you're so wicked. You'd do something as heart-wrenching as this."
"If Shang Ren knew that the roasted duck he praised so much was his own Farfetch'd, his mind would probably collapse."
Ye Feng remained silent and closed the door of the Pokémon Center.
As the saying goes, one should exercise a little after a meal.
Moreover, it was late at night, and they were alone in the room.
Nurse Joy knew what Ye Feng was thinking.
Her face turned completely red.
She led Ye Feng upstairs.
The two engaged in a "friendly exchange."
They stayed at this Pokémon Center for three days.
During this period, Shang Ren did not visit again.
Ye Feng stretched lazily.
Nurse Joy hugged his firm back from behind.
Ye Feng chuckled, "What's wrong? Do you want to exercise with me again?"
Nurse Joy blushed, "Stop it~~~"
Ye Feng smiled and took out five more Slowpoke tails from his system space.
He gave them to Nurse Joy.
Seeing that Ye Feng was about to embark on his journey again, Nurse Joy felt a pang of fear.
"Husband, I've given myself to you, surely you won't abandon your responsibility towards me?"
Ye Feng replied, "Am I that kind of person?"
Nurse Joy blushed, "How would I know (✿◡‿◡)"
"But seriously, why don't you transfer to a different Pokémon Center? That way, I can find you more easily. You could go to your sister's town, that way it's convenient to be with both sisters."
Nurse Joy's face turned even redder upon hearing this, "Hate! You have me, and you still want my sister."
After some playful banter, she finally said,
"I will."
The two shared another passionate kiss, and Ye Feng continued his journey.
His journey from here to Goldenrod City was swift.
It took him another eight days.
And during these eight days.
Ye Feng ate many more Pokémon.
For example, he caught some from a nursery that cared for Wooper.
Then he encountered a pack of Houndoom in the forest and ate them all.
Especially a group of Ursaring that dared to use Hyper Beam on Ye Feng, that entire pack, currently in heat, was completely wiped out and eaten by Ye Feng.
The only minor regret was.
Ye Feng hadn't eaten any legendary Pokémon yet.
He'd find one to eat someday.
Goldenrod City, the most prosperous city in the Johto region.
It was the economic and technological center of Johto.
Skyscrapers stood in dense rows.
Television stations, trains, department stores, arcades.
It had everything it should have, and even things it shouldn't.
It was comparable to Saffron City and Celadon City in the Kanto region.
In such a large city, it was easy to get lost in the decadence.
Bars and clubs, and revelry between men and women were commonplace.
Someone like Ye Feng, placed in such a dazzling metropolis, wouldn't he go wild?
But was Ye Feng that kind of person?!
He truly was.
Goldenrod City Gym.
A magnificent gym.
Pushing open the door.
He saw a young woman training her Miltank on a large battlefield.
Ye Feng immediately noticed this girl.
She was young, likely in her early twenties.
Pink hair, two pigtails.
A somewhat tight white top.
A white short skirt for the lower half.
She wore white long boots.
Ye Feng discovered something quite amusing.
Almost all the women he encountered liked to show off their fair legs.
