The meal was quite enjoyable.
Xiao Mao was a good cook.
After the meal, Xiao Mao went to wash the dishes.
Watching Xiao Mao's retreating back,
Ye Feng smiled and said, "It would be a blessing for any woman to marry Xiao Mao in the future."
Nanamie heard this and, for some reason, her brows furrowed.
After Xiao Mao finished washing the dishes, he went out.
Ye Feng asked, "Where are you going?"
Xiao Mao: "Home to sleep."
Ye Feng: "You're not staying here?"
Xiao Mao said nothing.
After Xiao Mao left, Nanamie explained to Ye Feng:
"I don't know whether to be happy or sad."
"Do you remember the cheerleaders who were always with Xiao Mao, about six or seven of them?"
Ye Feng: "I remember."
Not only did he remember, but Ye Feng was particularly impressed. Those girls were all good-looking with long legs.
"Alas"
"Xiao Mao here spends his days researching Pokémon and his nights studying the mysteries of the human body."
Ye Feng burst out laughing, completely not expecting Nanamie to say that.
"I hope Xiao Mao will be devoted to one person, but he..."
"Alas, I hope he won't be troubled by disputes caused by those women in the future."
"Actually, I'm most afraid that Xiao Mao will eventually go crazy from these 'gentle harbors'..."
"After all, women are terrifying when they are jealous."
Ye Feng looked at Nanamie, "It's okay, Xiao Mao has his limits."
Ye Feng hugged Nanamie.
"Alright, you've researched Pokémon all day, now let's do some research of our own."
Nanamie blushed.
"Ye Feng, what if I have your child in the future?"
Ye Feng: "Then we'll have it."
Nanamie: "But you and Hanako... I don't want my child to be born not knowing who their father is."
Ye Feng: "Don't think too much, enjoying the moment is most important."
Actually, at this point, Ye Feng didn't know how to handle things either...
...
Ye Feng stayed in Sinnoh for three months.
He stayed by Professor Rowan Nanamie's side the entire time.
And during these three months,
The Pokémon League announced that they had achieved decisive victory against Team Galactic.
Shortly thereafter, they announced
The end of all suppression activities.
Gyms and various competitions began to reopen.
You think those evil organizations in the regions are gone?
They are actually still around.
They're just not as rampant, giving face to the League.
A certain agreement was reached between both sides.
And with the reopening of competitions and gyms,
Ye Feng was about to embark on his journey to challenge the Gyms.
Before he left,
Nanamie came to see Ye Feng off.
Ye Feng and she kissed mutually.
This scene seemed to transport them back to the moment in Pallet Town during the Indigo League.
Nanamie returned.
Ye Feng took a deep breath.
And set off on his journey.
Just as he was about to leave Azami Town,
Suddenly, a person walked towards him.
A boy of fifteen or sixteen years old.
Purple hair and a cold, stern face.
Dark purple clothing.
The killing aura emanating from him made Ye Feng's eyes light up.
Although he saw this person for the first time,
Ye Feng guessed that this must be Shinji.
Shinji brushed past Ye Feng.
He seemed not to notice Ye Feng.
Ye Feng smiled and did not approach to speak to him.
Three days later.
Ye Feng arrived at Sinnoh's first city.
Jubilife City.
Known as the happy city where people gather.
It is a large city in Sinnoh.
It houses facilities such as a television station and a Pokémon training school.
Why is it called a happy city?
That's because the city's planning and construction were all voted on by its residents.
For example, the unique pebble-washed grounds and the tree-lined fountains.
What's most famous here are the Pokémon watch company and the GTS Global Trade Station, which is a newly emerged super industry.
It is said to be a magical facility that allows people to trade Pokémon with anyone in the world using Wi-Fi communication.
Unfortunately, there is only a Pokémon Contest here.
Fortunately, in the nearby Oreburgh City, there is a Gym.
Ye Feng didn't linger here and rushed to Oreburgh City three days later.
Oreburgh City is located in a mountain valley in the Sinnoh region.
It is rich in coal and other ores.
Many of the people here are miners, and upon entering the city,
The smell of coal assails the nostrils.
Ye Feng went to the Gym here first.
He knocked on the door.
A long-haired man came out.
"I'm sorry, if you're here to challenge the Gym Leader, Mr. Roark is not here."
"Where is he?"
"He's in the mine."
The long-haired man gave Ye Feng directions, and Ye Feng then arrived at the mine.
Excavators and haulers of all sizes,
And workers.
In addition, there were many Pokémon workers.
For example, Machoke and Machamp, who are strong and humanoid.
"Excuse me, where is Mr. Roark?"
Ye Feng asked the workers here.
"He's still inside."
As soon as he finished speaking,
A huge cart of stones was transported out of the mine.
Seven or eight people came out.
"Ah, welcome to modern times."
A bespectacled man in work clothes gently spoke to the stones on the mining cart.
Then other workers carried the stones away.
Ye Feng walked over, "Are you Mr. Roark?"
The man nodded, "Yes, I am. And you are?"
"Ye Feng?"
Ye Feng nodded.
Roark: "I see. You're here to challenge me, aren't you?"
"As a three-time champion, I can't possibly defeat you. How about this, you help us excavate fossils for free for a day here, and I'll give you a badge?"
Ye Feng: "Working is impossible. It's impossible in this lifetime."
Joke, asking Ye Feng to work for a day?
Dream on.
Roark chuckled, "I was just kidding."
Roark: "Ye Feng, let me ask you a question."
"What question?"
"Do you like Pokémon?"
Ye Feng: "..."
Roark: "To be honest, I like Pokémon very much."
"Especially these ancient ones, excavating fossils and then reviving them."
Then, Roark launched into a long, impassioned speech.
Making Ye Feng's eyes widen.
He described Roark's dreams and more.
After listening to him ramble for over an hour,
Roark finally finished.
He took out a badge from his pocket. It was the Coal Badge.
Ye Feng took the badge.
He was quite speechless.
However, having obtained the badge, he did not linger here and headed to the location of the next Gym.
...
Grassland.
"Hmm? A sea of flowers?"
Ye Feng was currently in a field of flowers.
Beautiful flowers were everywhere.
But the orderly flower beds indicated that they were specially tended by someone.
"What is that?"
Just then, a shadow flew quickly overhead.
It was a Salamence. Besides that, Ye Feng also noticed a person riding on the Salamence.
And the direction the Salamence was flying was towards
A house in the center over there.
"Hmm? You are?"
Beside the house, there was a beautiful pink-haired girl and her Pokémon, Gardevoir.
They were watering the plants.
But at this moment, they saw the Salamence and the woman on it.
