Chapter 1228: Left Zero, Right Fire, Raikou Help Me

Night fell. Although Su Hao was a bit curious about the day-night system within this secret realm of the Ore Kingdom, he didn't forget his business.

Under the drooling expressions of a group of Pokémon, Su Hao took out the outdoor cooking set he had spent a huge sum of money to buy from the system space and laid it out on the grass in front of the wooden house.

Cooking inside the wooden house was prone to fire, so it was safer to be outside.

Su Hao first came to Incineroar, Cyclizar, Zeraora, and Lucario, who were wearing aprons, masks, and gloves. They were putting the meat and vegetables Su Hao had already marinated into an assembly line of skewers.

Tonight's main food was barbecue, and there were quite a few Pokémon with big appetites in the team. Their food intake was huge, so the workload of skewers naturally rose with the tide.

Lucario and Zeraora were the most worry-free for Su Hao. If they were in school, they would be obedient, well-behaved honor students, and he wouldn't need to worry at all.

And Cyclizar was that student who said one thing but did another. Although it was full of reluctance, it was also willing to sell a little labor for delicious food.

As for Incineroar...

Su Hao's movements were very light, and he specifically used his Aura to cover the sound of his walking. Incineroar, who was poking its head and playing small tricks to slack off, didn't notice Su Hao's arrival at all.

Basically, Zeraora and Lucario would skewer five skewers, and Incineroar, who had more schemes than anyone else, would only slowly skewer one. Its sneaky appearance clearly showed it knew it was slacking off.

Su Hao couldn't hold back, went up and gave it a rap on the head, causing it to hold its head and crouch down.

"Graaaar!"

Incineroar was in so much pain it bared its teeth, looking at Su Hao with resentful eyes, as if he were a heartless man.

"What are you shouting about? I'm telling you not to slack off here; I see it clearly. You, as the old senior of everyone, don't take the lead, and you still play small tricks here?"

Su Hao knew whether it was provoking or being a jerk as soon as Incineroar stuck its butt out. This guy looked silly, but had more schemes than anyone else. It looked like he had knocked it hard, but in reality, this guy was just pretending to gain sympathy. Su Hao knew exactly how much force he had used.

Lucario and Cyclizar glanced at them and didn't move.

Conversely, Zeraora, who was new to the world, saw this scene and hesitated, intending to stand up and plead for Incineroar. After all, no matter what, Incineroar had been practicing Cross-Power with it, and if it really didn't work, it would just skewer more itself.

Cyclizar and Lucario pressed down on Zeraora, who was about to move, at the same time.

This child was still too simple and didn't know Incineroar's true face.

"Usually, you eat the most. Hisuian Braviary needs it because of its body size, but your food intake is twice as much as its! If you don't work seriously, your dinner tonight will be halved!"

Leaving this sentence behind, Su Hao walked to the other side without looking back, leaving only Incineroar, whose world had collapsed, to grieve in secret.
