Chapter 210: Brock

Mawile has a self-taught passion for shopping.

It originally thought the shops on the *Aegis Milotic* were already very prosperous, but it didn't expect the department store in Littleroot Town to be bigger, have more things, and be cheaper!

Placed in a glittering world, it got out of control and fell into a chaotic state where it wanted to buy everything it saw.

Fortunately, All Baimu, as a Trainer, possesses the "do-it-my-own-way" trait and would definitely not get confused, maintaining Mawile's string of reason and forbidding it from buying things it couldn't use at all.

However.

Even so, the things in All Baimu's hands became more and more, and in the end, he had to awkwardly carry things in both hands and come to the Pokémon Beauty Salon with Mawile.

Mawile had wanted to come here for a long time, having heard N's two sisters and their Pokémon talk about it, and occasionally looking at the photos on their phones, envying them to death.

Now it finally had the chance to experience it personally.

"Hair and nails? Dyeing colors? None of them really suit you." All Baimu stood by Mawile, flipping through the beauty items with it. "Purely natural is the best and most beautiful."

"Mawile?"

Mawile blinked its watery big eyes.

"Of course I like purely natural ones." All Baimu nodded affirmatively, completely ignoring the awkward expression of the beautician next to him. "In my personal opinion, these are all unnecessary, but if you think they look good, I support you, but think about it, what if they get messed up during a battle..."

"Mawile!"

"Alright then, please give me a basic hair and skin care package, and please take care of these two as well." All Baimu nodded with satisfaction and released Chansey and Deino.

Then.

He came to the hard body surface and joint care area next to him and handed Aggron and other Pokémon to the professionals there. "For Aggron's body surface, please be sure not to polish it."

Xiaoshuba

"Okay."

The staff took the Pokémon away.

Aggron regards the scars on its body as an honor; if they were polished away, it might tear down the shop in a fit of rage.

All Baimu didn't want to be arrested by Officer Jenny on his first day in Littleroot Town.

"Money... it's all money..."

He looked at the big and small bags he had bought earlier and couldn't help but let out a sigh. Even though he had been saving as much as he could, his savings were still decreasing at a visible rate.

Like this appearance maintenance, six Pokémon added up to cost him 100,000. There was no way around it; Aggron and Steelix were too big, especially the latter, which wouldn't be groomed without an extra charge.

Why didn't the Ranch Uncle's Health Management chapter have beauty knowledge? It clearly also relates to mental health.

All Baimu wondered if he hadn't found an opportunity to make a lot of money quickly before his savings ran out, he would have to borrow from the rich guy, Shanren.

"Mawile!"

"What's wrong?"

All Baimu, hearing Mawile's cry, hurried over, and then saw the former making a photo gesture.

"... You want to take a picture too?"

"Mawile! Mawile!"

"Alright then."

All Baimu took his phone and took a bunch of pictures of Mawile, who had a towel wrapped around its head and was making a cute expression, and posted them to the Pokéblog he had created for it earlier under its instruction.

"That's it, if Barbena and the others see it, they will definitely like it for you."

He handed the phone to Mawile, who fiddled with it for a while, found it couldn't understand it at all, and gave up, returning the phone with regret.

All Baimu saw this and said: "How about... you learn to read too? Or recognize images?"

"Mawile?"

Mawile turned its head to look at him, first understanding the meaning of the words, then turned its head to show a hesitant expression.

"Learning to read is of course a good thing, and as long as you are smart enough, it will be fast. Look at me, I mastered it in three months." All Baimu's words drew the side-eye of the Pokémon beautician.

Three months? Learning to read at three months old? What kind of god is this.

The Pokémon beautician thought to himself, seeing Mawile nod, he knew that this Trainer had successfully fooled his Pokémon again.

The world is going downhill...

——

Coming out of the beauty salon.

Mawile was much brighter from head to toe, looking like a brand-new doll, giving people the feeling of an ugly duckling turning into a white swan at first glance.

Its mood was also extremely comfortable.

"Is the brightening and smoothing hair care lotion so effective?" All Baimu looked around it, and Mawile proudly posed a few times, being very vain.

He said: "Shall we buy a bottle of the same one?"

"Mawile!"

Mawile's eyes lit up immediately, indicating it was possible.

Returning to the Pokémon Center.

All Baimu didn't see Brock in the lobby at first, thinking he had gone into the ward, but when he turned to go to the restaurant to eat, he saw Brock helping people serve food. "If it's not enough, come back for more anytime—All Baimu!"

"Aren't you an intern for a Pokémon Doctor? Why are you serving food in the restaurant?"

He looked at Brock curiously.

"I'm a trainee. The internship qualification for a Pokémon Doctor can only be obtained after passing the relevant certificates. Training is in the training stage."

Brock responded, "The restaurant is short-handed, so I came to help out. Everyone likes the food I make very much."

"You made it?"

All Baimu's eyes lit up when he heard this.

"Of course." Brock had sufficient confidence in making food. "Please enjoy, there is still plenty I made!"

"Alright."

He nodded and took three plates of curry rice and left.

Any Trainer can come to the Pokémon Center, and as long as they have a Pokédex, they can eat and live for free, and the Pokédex is not a particularly rare thing in the anime background world.

In other words, many facilities and contents of the Pokémon Center are equivalent to the region's social welfare.

"Mawile?"

"Lucky~"

Chansey and Mawile held small spoons, looking at the steaming curry rice with curiosity; it was their first time eating this kind of thing.

"Try it, try his craftsmanship."

All Baimu said softly.

As a Japanese game, the food popular in the Pokémon world is basically related to the tastes of the Japanese, such as curry rice.

He doesn't like to eat it much, but people in the Pokémon world are fanatically in love with this convenient and delicious food.

He scooped up a spoonful and put it in his mouth to taste.

Sure enough, the basic taste was not much different from the curry of his previous life, but the curry in the Pokémon world was clearly much better than the cheap stuff he ate in his previous life, plus Brock's cooking.

Some flavors that he couldn't feel before exploded on his taste buds, the slightly spicy taste circled around the tip of his tongue repeatedly, and the taste of various spices surged into his brain along his nasal cavity. Under the multi-faceted attack of color, aroma, and taste, it stimulated his fingers and toes to curl and tense up.

"Hmm..."

All Baimu let out a long breath. "It's like being drugged; this stuff is no worse than glowing dishes."

Brock's cooking level was indeed superb; he was worthy of being an excellent Pokémon Breeder.

He looked across, Chansey and Mawile had already finished their portions and were looking at him expectantly.

"... I'll allow you to have another portion."

Rarely happy, All Baimu made an exception and planned to let Aggron and the others have a taste too.

"Mawile!"

"Lucky!"

Mawile and Chansey cheered and raised their trays, running toward Brock. ===== CHAPTER 211 =====
