Chapter 21 - Chapter 21: Entertaining Guests

Pokémon take time to hatch, so Kawaki didn't disturb them, letting Quagsire and Swampert roam freely in his backyard.

In the evening, he had Bewear deliver their food for the day, and thus, another day passed.

At 5 PM, Kawaki recalled the information Taillow provided at noon about a large number of Clefairy appearing at Meteor Falls. He had originally planned to close early and go with Bewear to check out the situation at Meteor Falls.

However, someone knocked on the Breeding House's door.

"Hello, is anyone here?"

Kawaki went to open the door and saw two young men, dust-covered and carrying travel backpacks, standing outside.

They weren't very old, seemingly just turned ten, still in the New Trainer stage.

"How may I help you?" Kawaki welcomed them inside and asked.

"We'd like to stay here for a night!" the young man replied.

Kawaki was slightly taken aback; this was the first time someone had come to stay at the inn.

But he quickly recovered and nodded, "Of course, no problem. The inn has a total of six rooms, all currently vacant. You can choose any room you like."

"Besides rooms, we also offer some simple food. If you need anything, just let me know, and I'll prepare it for you."

The two young men stood in front of the counter, looking at the small blackboard hanging on the wall.

It listed the various service fees for the inn.

[Bewear Inn]

[2000 alliance coin / night]

[Bewear Restaurant currently offers food: Ramen 800 / bowl, White Porridge 300 / bowl, Berry Juice 100 / cup, Sandwich 500 / portion, Pokémon Snacks 500 / portion]

The two young men breathed a sigh of relief; the accommodation price wasn't expensive. So they nodded and took out their money, saying,

"We'll stay for one night! Also, please prepare two bowls of ramen, two cups of Berry Juice, and two portions of Pokémon food!"

"Please wait a moment." Kawaki smiled and nodded, "Growlithe, don't run around, be careful not to bump into the guests. Bewear, please take these two guests to their room first. I'll go prepare their food."

"Goo~" Bewear readily agreed.

The two young men looked at this "big guy" in front of them and couldn't help but gulp.

A Pokémon they had never seen before...

Making ramen is very simple: just boil water, add noodles and cook for a few minutes, then pour in the pre-prepared bone broth, and finally sprinkle with chopped green onions, shredded seaweed, and add a soft-boiled egg cut in half.

Thus, a bowl of ramen, not luxurious but very delicious, was completed.

The bone broth was rich in aroma, and the soup was clear yellow, glowing under the light. The soft-boiled egg's golden yolk flowed out, making it look very appealing.

Now that the Breeding House was officially open and making money, Kawaki prepared even more abundant ingredients.

Finally, he poured two cups of Berry Juice and prepared two portions of food that Pokémon would enjoy.

When Kawaki arrived at the dining area, the two young men and their Pokémon were already waiting there.

One Poochyena, one Zigzagoon.

They looked like they hadn't eaten a proper meal in a long time. When they saw the ramen in front of them, their eyes instantly lit up.

"Please enjoy your meal!"

"Then I'll dig in!" The two young men swallowed their saliva and then began to feast.

Kawaki noticed the Poochyena and Zigzagoon next to them. These two dirty, dusty Pokémon, like their Trainers, were devouring the food in front of them.

"Wuwuwu, this feels so good!" One young man couldn't help but shed tears, "I haven't eaten such a delicious meal in so long!"

The other young man didn't speak, frantically shoveling the food into his mouth.

Kawaki: "..."

Is it really that exaggerated?

Although his cooking was good, it wasn't so exaggerated that it could make people cry.

But the next second, Kawaki saw a small sun, representing "happiness" and "joy," appear above the heads of the two young men.

Immediately after, the familiar text reappeared before his eyes.

[Xiao Cong's mood improved, joy value +60, received Xiao Cong's gift: Axew's Habitat (Meteor Falls).]

[Axew's Habitat: The specific location of Dragon Pokémon Axew in Meteor Falls. Xiao Cong once discovered traces of a Haxorus tribe there while traveling. Your delicious food moved him, and he gave you this information as a gift.]

[Xiao Shu's mood improved, joy value +70, received Xiao Shu's gift: Clefairy's Appearance Location (Meteor Falls).]

[Clefairy's Appearance Location: The specific location where a large number of Fairy-type Pokémon Clefairy appear. Xiao Shu accidentally stumbled upon it while passing through Meteor Falls and saw many Clefairy there. Your delicious food moved him, and he gave you his observations as a gift.]

The moment these two lines of text appeared, Kawaki felt two pieces of information added to his mind.

Images of the environment of Meteor Falls flashed through his mind.

Although he had never been there, he felt incredibly familiar with everything about it.

And within the vast Meteor Falls, there were two particular places that left a deep impression on him.

If he were to go to Meteor Falls, he could definitely find those two locations based on his memory!

Undoubtedly, these were the memories of the two young men in front of him!

Kawaki was filled with astonishment.

What's going on? Wasn't his golden finger only supposed to grant rewards when Pokémon were happy?

Why do humans work too?

Wait! Suddenly, Kawaki thought of a saying.

That is, humans in the Pokémon world are actually a type of Pokémon.

No way?

After a moment of contemplation, Kawaki started chatting with the two young men.

"May I ask where you two are from?"

The young men, contentedly finishing the last sip of soup in their bowls, rubbed their bellies, burped, and replied:

"We are Trainers who just started our journey from Rustboro City two weeks ago!"

Rustboro City, southwest of Meteor Falls, Steven's hometown.

"We originally planned to pass through Meteor Falls, go via Fallarbor Town, cross Mt. Chimney, and then head towards Lavaridge Town to take a look."

"But we didn't expect to encounter a dangerous Pokémon at Meteor Falls. During the chase, we got lost and stayed in Meteor Falls for a week before getting out."

"We ran out of food, and our water was almost gone. Luckily, we saw the boss's shop on the way; otherwise, the two of us, along with Zigzagoon and Poochyena, wouldn't have been able to make it to Fallarbor Town."

Kawaki: "..."

No wonder these two Trainers were in such a sorry state.

"Meteor Falls is a very dangerous place for New Trainers who have just started their journey."

They only had one Pokémon each, and they were weak Poochyena and Zigzagoon, yet they dared to go to Meteor Falls.

Kawaki didn't know what to say for a moment.

"However, since you're here, you two should get a good night's rest!"
