Chapter 266: Am I a bit redundant?

Mesagoza, Top Fresh Restaurant.

This is a chain restaurant in the Paldea region that specializes in seafood, and the main store in Mesagoza has been occupying the top five of the gourmet review list all year round.

And today, when Mesagoza welcomed so many guests, this shop was rarely closed.

The reason is also very simple—

A wealthy woman with deep pockets waved her hand and packed the usage rights of this shop for today.

"You spent money again, Cattleya."

Elegantly turning her fork, Zhulan looked at Cattleya on the other side, who had finished her meal and was quietly admiring her, and revealed a soft smile.

"It's okay, the thing I lack the most is money."

Cattleya narrowed her eyes, but her unintentional words left Qingyu, who was sitting next to Zhulan, speechless.

Although he knew that this little rich woman was telling the truth, he always felt like she was showing off, which was so annoying...

Originally, Qingyu planned to just stroll around with Zhulan, but after meeting Cattleya, this little idea was obviously almost impossible.

So, what Qingyu can do now is only—

"Boss, another portion of seafood pasta, and a few more portions of smoked fish slices and crayfish!"

Turn anger into appetite!

When people are extremely angry, they can eat ten plates of crayfish in one breath!

While savoring the smooth texture of the rice pudding lingering in his mouth, Qingyu reached out and shouted toward the kitchen.

"Garchomp!"

"Miraidon!"

"Eevee~"

At another table not far from him, the Pokémon led by Garchomp were wolfing down one plate of food after another.

Among them, Miraidon, whose eating speed was far ahead of the others, making people wonder if it had secretly used Dragon Dance, was already piled high with plates.

Even the Indeedee sister responsible for serving the food was startled by the scene of falling into the hungry ghost path before her.

Indeedee (Female)

Do these Pokémon usually live so miserably?

How come it feels like they've never had a full meal...

Indeedee inexplicably felt a bit of pity for them, and at the same time felt that she was lucky to have met a good boss.

It turns out the boss was right, the outside world is really very cruel...

So, she is already very grateful as long as she can have food and shelter!

"Speaking of which, Cattleya."

Silently observing Qingyu eating happily as if taking revenge, Zhulan, who revealed a gratified smile, suddenly remembered something, and her gaze also turned to Cattleya.

"Since you left the Battle Chateau, it means—"

"You can already freely control the release of psychic powers in your body, right?"

Because psychic powers are influenced by emotions and are very easy to lose control, Cattleya rarely leaves the Battle Chateau.

In order to maintain a peaceful mood, she needs a large amount of sleep every day, so she even has the title of "Sleeping Beauty" in the Battle Frontier.

However, it seems this problem should have been solved now?

"Hmm, it's no problem now!"

Cattleya, who was watched by Zhulan's serious gaze, nodded heavily, and her mood also became much more pleasant.

She is caring about me!

Sure enough, Zhulan still has me in her heart!

Originally, Cattleya wasn't actually that sure whether she could solve this hidden danger.

But after watching an exhibition match that made her blood pressure skyrocket, she didn't let her psychic powers lose control even though her emotions had gone out of control several times.

"Then, there will be a chance to challenge you at the Battle Chateau in the future, right?"

Zhulan gave a slight smile.

After becoming Champion, I feel like there is nothing but good news around me recently.

The new Elite Four members are all very reliable candidates, and Lucian even has the potential to become a pillar of the League;

Qingyu, who hadn't been in contact for half a year, finally recovered from that incident and chose to stay in Paldea to shoulder the responsibilities of the Sunny Gym Leader;

Cattleya finally managed to control her psychic powers and no longer needs to be restricted to that small Battle Chateau.

Thinking of this, she was suddenly a bit emotional.

The encounter between people might sometimes really be fate.

Five years ago, because of a coincidence in Celestic Town, she met Cattleya, and the three soon became good friends.

Five years later, in Paldea, thousands of miles away, the three staged another fateful reunion...

Sure enough, whether it is between humans and Pokémon, or between people, there is some kind of special attraction that guides us to meet again and again until the bond bears fruit.
