One of the Machamp came to Sister Nina, indicating that it had finished its work.
Lucas followed Sister Nina back to the hall and found that everything had been cleared out, and the floor had been mopped clean.
It has to be said, for this kind of work that doesn't require meticulousness, the Machamp's efforts were truly evident.
"Thank you for your hard work, Machamp."
Lucas thanked the Machamp, then continued, "It's getting late. To thank you for helping me, I'll treat you to dinner."
"Nika~"
The Machamp started waving their arms excitedly when they heard Lucas's words.
At this moment, Lucas took the opportunity to observe the Machamp.
[Machamp]
[Gender: Female]
[Type: Fighting]
[Ability: No Guard]
[Known Moves: Low Kick, Glare, Bulk Up, Low Sweep, Knock Off, Brick Break, Mega Punch.]
[Mood: Happy, Joyful]
[Status: A little tired, Expectant]
[Friendship: 50 (You're treating us to dinner, you're a good person!)]
[Description: The leader of the three Machamp, leading the other two Machamp to sell their strength for compensation. It is currently looking forward to Lucas treating them to dinner.]
The friendship levels of the other two were similar. Seeing the Machamp so happy just because he was treating them to dinner, Lucas couldn't help but laugh.
The world of Pokémon is truly simple. In the past, if you offered to treat someone to dinner, they might not even go.
"Sister Nina, do you know anywhere with good food?"
Lucas turned to Sister Nina and asked.
Sister Nina nodded, "Let's go, I'll take you."
She then walked towards the main door, with the Machamp happily waving their four arms and following behind her.
After Lucas locked the door and drove away, Gengar appeared, watching Lucas leave.
It floated to the bedroom, looked at the luggage Lucas had brought, and then started rummaging through it.
"Gengar?"
...As the sun began to set, after feeding the three Machamp, Lucas paid the bill.
Watching the Machamp bid him farewell, Lucas suddenly remembered his dilapidated Breeding House and said, "Machamp, if you ever need help in the future, come find me."
Looking at Lucas in the sunset, with his sincere smile, the Machamp had tears in their eyes.
"Nika!!!"
Watching the Machamp's shadows stretch longer and longer in the sunset, Lucas withdrew his gaze and picked up the dinner the shop owner had packed for him.
"You're a very good person, Lucas."
Sister Nina stood beside him and said.
"I just think they're not bad."
Lucas finished speaking and turned to walk towards the car.
Sister Nina shrugged and followed him.
After returning to the house and bidding farewell to Sister Nina, Lucas closed the door and placed the dinner on the only remaining counter in the hall.
"Gengar, I brought you some dinner, do you want it?"
After a long silence, Lucas shook his head helplessly.
"He really is a timid little fatty, quite cute."
After saying that, he went upstairs to his room.
He believed that Gengar couldn't resist the aroma, after all, food is the best way to forge bonds.
After Lucas returned to his room, Gengar poked its head out from the ceiling, then its attention was drawn by the fragrant dinner on the counter.
"Gengar~"
Gengar came to the dinner, its crimson eyes looked upstairs, found no sign of Lucas, and then opened the dinner. Inside was a large bowl of noodles and a roasted duck.
Gengar reached out its short hand, tore off a duck leg, and stuffed it into its mouth.
"Gengar~ (˵¯͒¯͒˵)"
Lucas opened the bedroom door and found it in a mess. All the clothes from the wardrobe were thrown onto the bed, and toiletries were scattered all over the floor.
"Gengar!!!!"
Lucas angrily walked to the staircase, looking at Gengar who was eating downstairs.
"Gengar?! Σ(ŎдŎ|||)ﾉﾉ"
At this moment, Gengar was holding a duck leg in one hand, slurping noodles with its mouth, and looked at the suddenly appearing Lucas with a shocked expression.
Then, like a child who had done something wrong, it placed the duck leg on the counter.
"Gengar... (•́︿•̀.)"
It hung its head in dejection.
Looking at Gengar, who lowered its head to pretend to admit its mistake while still slurping a mouthful of noodles, Lucas wanted to scold it but couldn't.
"You... never mind, you eat."
Lucas sighed, then went back to his room to continue tidying up.
"Gengar~"
Seeing Lucas leave, Gengar covered its mouth and chuckled, then continued eating its dinner.
"Remember to clean up the trash when you're done!"
Lucas's voice came from upstairs.
"Gengar!!!"
After tidying up, Lucas took out two bottles of Moomoo Milk he had won and placed them on the dressing table, then picked up his clothes and went to the bathroom to shower.
After showering, he came out and found Gengar drinking the Moomoo Milk he had left on the dressing table.
"Gengar?! (ﾟ◇ﾟﾉ)ﾉ"
"It's for you to drink, go ahead."
Lucas said, feeling exasperated.
Hearing this, Gengar grinned, then poured all the Moomoo Milk into its mouth.
"Gengar (￣▽￣)~~"
Seeing Gengar's look of enjoyment, Lucas walked over and pinched its small tail behind its butt.
"Whoosh~~"
Gengar, like a deflating balloon, started to shrivel and then crashed around everywhere.
"Don't crash around in the room!"
Lucas said loudly.
"Bang."
Gengar's body became round again, and it stood upside down on the ceiling, smiling at Lucas.
Looking at Gengar like this, Lucas focused his gaze on Gengar and saw that Gengar's friendship in the status bar had already reached 80, and the 'lonely' tag was temporarily gone, replaced by 'happy'.
"Little rascal, I can still handle you."
Lucas secretly smiled in his heart, then ignored Gengar and lay on the bed, playing on his phone.
Seeing that Lucas was no longer paying attention to it, a trace of sadness flashed in Gengar's eyes, but it quickly recovered and flew towards Lucas.
Seeing that Lucas didn't reject it, it boldly flew onto Lucas's bed, bent its short legs, and sat next to Lucas.
Then it pressed its big face against Lucas's face, curious about what Lucas was so engrossed in watching.
Feeling uncomfortable sitting, it even nudged Lucas with its butt, making Lucas move over a bit.
"Alright, alright, you sit."
Lucas moved over a bit, and just like that, one person and one Pokémon happily scrolled through the phone.
Sometimes when Lucas swiped past a video, Gengar hadn't seen enough, so it swiped it back.
After a few times, Lucas couldn't take it anymore, "This is my phone."
Looking at Lucas, Gengar lowered its eyes.
"Gengar..."
Looking at the cunning Gengar in front of him, Lucas was helpless, "Alright, alright, you watch it."
Lucas rolled his eyes when he saw Gengar switch to a smiling face in a second.
"Drama queen."
Ignoring Gengar, he refocused his attention on his phone. At this moment, he scrolled to a video.
It said that several more Trainers had gone missing, and after a police search, their bodies were eventually found in xxx.
"It seems being a Trainer is still a very dangerous profession."
Lucas sighed, glad that he no longer planned to be a Trainer.
"Gengar."
Gengar nodded from the side.
The next video was a battle video, and Lucas was more than familiar with the two protagonists of the video.
"Sinnoh Champion Cynthia VS Psychic Elite Lucian."
The title read, and Lucas stared blankly at the people in the video.
"Is it... the real Cynthia?"
Lucas collected his thoughts. Since he had already transmigrated, these things seemed somewhat normal.
After watching the video, he had to say, Sister Cynthia was indeed cool.
Gengar's performance could be perfectly displayed, as this was the fifth time Gengar had watched this video.
Unable to bear it, Lucas handed the phone to Gengar.
"You take it and watch. I'm going to sleep. Don't disturb me anymore. I have a lot of work waiting for me tomorrow."
Lucas looked at Gengar and continued, "Let me get a good night's sleep, okay, Gengar."
Gengar looked at Lucas, nodded, then took the phone and turned around, leaving its butt facing Lucas.
Lucas looked at the small tail wagging in front of him and mischievously pinched it.
"Whoosh~~"
"Hey! Don't break the phone!"
"Bang!"
"Never mind, you play. I won't provoke you anymore."
Then Lucas glanced at Gengar's back, and with the referee's Roar from the video echoing in his ears, he slowly closed his eyes.
