Chapter 66: Worker Rika

Paldea region, Cascarrafa.

Late autumn in November, the chill arrived earlier than usual.

The streets of Cascarrafa were brightly lit, outshining the sunset glow remaining on the horizon.

Guests came and went at the famous Paldea restaurant, "Treasure Eatery."

"Very delicious, thank you for the meal."

A middle-aged man in a signature suit with striking white-streaked hair at the front of his slicked-back style sat in the corner, hands clasped in satisfaction.

"Sure enough, simple things are the best. There is no dish with a richer flavor than the grilled rice balls at this restaurant."

Rika let out a long sigh, brushed off the few rice grains that had fallen on him, silently pressed a banknote into the corner of the tray, picked up his briefcase, and turned to leave.

As an ordinary employee of the League's Business Department, although his performance was very poor, fortunately, his attitude was serious enough, and he was always the last one to leave work, so he was able to keep this job.

Of course, the grilled rice ball after getting off work on time every Sunday was indispensable.

This was the panacea that sublimated his soul after the week's work ended.

If it were missing, he might still be alive, but he would probably be a bit dead already.

Returning to the Cascarrafa Gym, Rika sat on the sofa, dazed.

After a full week of high-intensity work, suddenly having a night where he could relax, he didn't know what he should do instead.

Besides the performance indicators that were impossible to meet, were there any other tasks?

The League work documents sent by Geeta had all been processed;

The Gym had also reached closing time.

Clearly, it should be a happy leisure time, so why did it make people feel empty instead?

Rika looked at the sky speechlessly, trying to come up with an answer with his dull, lifeless eyes.

"Speaking of which, Geeta seemed to tell me to change my style..."

He suddenly remembered an important matter that hadn't been handled yet.

Because he served as both a Gym Leader and an Elite Four member, Paldea's Top Champion Geeta had told him he must change his style.

"So troublesome..."

Rika liked Normal-type Pokémon.

Since he was a child, he had realized the truth of this world—

Being plain and simple is the most real thing.

So he longed for ordinariness.

Compared to being an Elite Four member, perhaps he hoped more to be an ordinary corporate slave.

It was precisely his persistence in not forgetting his original intention that he was finally favored by the League as a Normal-type specialist, obtaining his current dual status.

However, just as Top Champion Geeta said.

"If you want to seek a breakthrough, you must first change your style..."

Rika muttered.

"But besides the Normal type, I don't seem to have any interest in other types..."

"How about I try the Flying type of Staraptor." ===== CHAPTER 68 =====
