“Thank you!”
“You’re already able to get up and walk around?”
The next day, Kain was surprised to see Shelly come down to thank him.
She had clearly looked severely injured, yet she had recovered this much in just one night.
That was simply exaggerated, or perhaps this woman had an extremely resilient body that could heal injuries very quickly.
“Mm.”
Shelly replied softly.
“You came just in time. I was about to make breakfast, so you can sit at the dining table and wait for a moment.”
Speaking of eating, Shelly thought of what happened yesterday.
She had kept that matter in mind all along.
Thinking about it now, she still felt very shy, coupled with her curiosity about Kain.
“Is that skill real?”
She still wanted to see it with her own eyes.
“Um, will the food we eat be like the one yesterday?”
“Uh~”
Kain fell silent, not daring to guarantee it.
It wasn’t that he couldn’t do it; it was just that he had already adapted to it, eating it every day until he was used to it.
But this person definitely wasn’t used to it.
If he gave his word and ended up making a fool of her again, this woman would probably want to kill someone.
“Will it still be like that?”
Shelly read the meaning in Kain’s expression.
It seemed it would indeed be like that.
“Um, I can guarantee that the ingredients I use are legitimate, very fresh, and don’t have anything else added to them.”
Kain still felt the need to mention this in advance.
“I already confirmed that yesterday.”
Shelly replied.
If not for that, she might have already released her Pokémon.
“That’s good. Anyway, I’m not a pervert.”
Kain let out a sigh of relief before replying.
This kind of thing was really easy to cause misunderstandings.
Soon, Kain busied himself in the kitchen.
Shelly also looked around and immediately noticed the two Pokémon playing outside.
The Red Gyarados and Dragonair.
There was actually a shiny Pokémon, and many Trainers dreamed of having such Pokémon.
Judging by her standards, these two Pokémon had been raised very well.
“Are those two Pokémon yours?”
Shelly asked first.
“That’s right. They’ve accompanied me for over a month now. Especially that big guy—when I first met him, he was just in his Magikarp form. Back then, he was all silly and goofy, which was a lot of fun. But after growing to this huge size, although he’s a bit more domineering, he lost that dorky charm from his Magikarp days.”
However, he caught some information in his mind.
So these creatures were collectively called Pokémon; they must have specific names too.
“One month to raise them to be this strong—your breeding capability is truly amazing.”
Hearing Kain’s words, Shelly was deeply shaken.
A Magikarp evolving into a Gyarados in a month was nothing special; she had seen even faster ones.
She heard that someone once saw a Team Rockets member in the Kanto region kick a Magikarp into evolution with a single stomp.
What shocked her the most was that Kain could actually raise a Gyarados and a Dragonair to such a powerful level.
Having such powerful strength in just one month was something she couldn’t imagine.
Could this person be the most powerful Master Breeder in the world?
But that was impossible; where would there be such a young Master Breeder?
Master Breeders nowadays were extremely rare and were all old folks.
Thinking of this, Shelly began to probe for some information.
“Then how do you raise these Pokémon? To actually make Gyarados and Dragonair so powerful.”
So the two of them were called Gyarados and Dragonair?
The red big guy should be Gyarados, since the other Little One went around calling out ‘Drag’.
“Them? I didn’t raise them with anything special. Just eating on time, going outside for running practice on time, and then battle practice. There’s nothing else.”
What Kain said was the truth.
But Shelly didn’t believe it; how could it possibly be that simple?
For a Pokémon to become strong, it couldn’t just rely on those things alone.
Of course, over a long period it might work, but in a month, it was impossible.
“Is that so? You’re amazing. Can I go and play with Gyarados and Dragonair?”
“Of course you can, they are very obedient.”
Kain replied instinctively.
“Alright!”
Shelly slowly walked out of the room and came before Gyarados and Dragonair.
Just as they were discussing what delicious food Kain was making, they saw Shelly walk up in front of them.
“Drago~”
Dragonair looked at her with curious eyes.
What was this woman here to do?
“Hello there, can I pet you guys?”
Shelly tried her best to wear a gentle smile.
Having stayed in Team Aqua for a long time, she had always treated her subordinates seriously and rarely smiled at people.
When was the last time she smiled?
“Drago?”
“Roar~”
What kind of idea was this?
Just to pet them for a bit?
Was it really that simple?
They had thought she wanted them to go into the sea to catch fish.
“Drago~”
The kind-hearted Dragonair took the lead in flying around Shelly, pressing its body against her.
Such a soft body.
Shelly petted Dragonair, feeling its body.
Although she looked very cute, underestimating her would lead to a huge loss.
“How long have you guys been staying with Kain?”
“Roar~”
“Drago~”
Suddenly asked this question, they didn’t react in time.
How long had they stayed with their Trainer?
They hadn’t counted either.
“Alright, I don’t need you to tell me the exact amount. I’m very glad to meet you. You truly are Kain’s best partners.”
Shelly already figured out the general situation.
Of course, that was only targeted at Dragonair; she looked as though she had just been born not long ago.
Just by knowing this situation, she could be certain that Kain was no ordinary person.
No wonder the food he made had that kind of effect.
“Drago~ Drago~”
“Roar~”
Hearing Shelly’s praise, both Gyarados and Dragonair raised their heads proudly.
That’s right, they were their Trainer’s best partners.
“It’s time to eat. Hurry up and come inside, Gyarados, you come in too.”
Today’s breakfast was nothing else, just regular steamed buns, plain mantou, fried dough sticks, plus seafood porridge.
Gyarados had been called inside by Kain a few days ago; as long as he coiled up, he wouldn’t take up too much space.
Of course, if he laid horizontally here, it would also be fine.
After all, the space was large, but doing it that way didn’t look good.
“Roar~”
The two Pokémon and Shelly came near the dining table.
Dragonair and Gyarados floated there waiting for the food.
Seeing these two Pokémon making such expressions, it was the first time Shelly felt a sense of leisurely contentment within herself.
This kind of life seemed pretty good.
It was a pity she couldn’t enjoy this kind of life.
Their Team Aqua still had major business to attend to.
“You two, don’t be so excited, there’s still a guest here.”
Kain was already used to the antics of these two clowns.
