Chapter 9: Pokémon in Multiverse: Starting from Hunter World Chapter 4

Although strictly speaking, Nidoking is a product of Nen and does not need to eat,

it is rather special, possessing self-awareness and equivalent to an independent entity.

Whether eating or exercising, both help enhance its strength.

Therefore, Luo Ge feeds Nidoking at every meal.

Nidoking is an omnivorous Pokémon and can normally eat tree fruits and plants.

It also has a peculiar preference, favoring foods with a bitter taste.

Luo Ge usually gives it 【Zero Fruit】 and 【Inkberry】.

The latter has no special effect, while the former can dispel sleep.

Luo Ge simply placed a few tree fruits on a plate, set it beside Nidoking, and patted its head:

"Eat up. You worked hard today—have more."

"Ooooh~"

Nidoking pressed against Luo Ge's hand, its two large upright ears twitching cutely.

Then it buried its head in the plate and gnawed at an 【Inkberry】 with rabbit-like front teeth.

The moment Nidoking bit into the soft-skinned fruit, ink-like juice seeped out.

A streak of black stained its mouth corner.

Seeing Nidoking enjoy its meal, the three began their own lunch.

The rich aroma of curry mingled with faint notes of tree fruit, and the sausages atop were reddish and deeply appetizing.

All three were immersed in the pleasure of the meal.

In 【Pokémon Sword and Shield】, the quality of curry rice has tiers.

From highest to lowest: Charizard Tier, Copperajah Tier, Miltank Tier, Cheri Berry Tier, and Voltorb Tier.

If Luo Ge were to rate them, he would give these curry dishes a Cheri Berry Tier evaluation.

Halfway through eating, a speck of curry stuck to Miki's lip; the naturally clueless girl paid it no mind.

Nearby, Machi gently wiped it away with a handkerchief; Miki said nothing, only smiled sweetly at Machi.

Machi returned the smile in kind.

The three of them: one thirteen-year-old boy, one twelve-to-thirteen-year-old girl, and one eight-year-old girl.

But that was merely on the surface.

Luo Ge was originally a young man in his twenties, constantly struggling to make a living.

After arriving in the Hunter World, his body unexpectedly regressed to around twelve or thirteen years old.

Thus, by age, Luo Ge mostly cared for the two girls, or else Luo Ge and Machi cared for the youngest, Miki.
