As soon as the time arrived, Snorlax House opened its doors as usual, and customers immediately rushed in, eager to enter.
Snorlax House now had a group of loyal diners who would arrive at the entrance of Snorlax House every day, waiting for the store to open on time.
As soon as they entered, they noticed changes to the menu hanging on the wall.
"Oh, there are new items on the menu today!" one of the customers said in surprise.
"Ralts ~ Ralts ~"
"Ralts, do you have any recommendations?" the customer asked.
Ralts stood on tiptoes, reached out, and pointed to the salted duck egg on the menu.
"You recommend this? Then I must try it today!" the customer said with a smile, and started ordering, "Then two meat buns, two cabbage buns, a bowl of white porridge, and one of these salted duck eggs."
"Ralts ~ Ralts ~"
Ralts took the menu and ran off quickly.
Before long, she used her psychic powers to bring back the customer's order.
"Ralts is amazing!" the customer gave Ralts a thumbs up.
The regular customers who came to Snorlax House to eat loved Ralts, Espurr, and Meowth, and they would shower them with praise as soon as they entered the door every day. The three little ones were already used to it.
"Ralts ~ Ralts ~"
Ralts urged the customer to taste the food quickly.
As soon as the customer saw the buns on the table, they noticed their uniqueness.
"Looking at today's buns… the little boss is back, isn't he?" the customer asked Ralts.
When Anji wasn't home during this period, the customers all knew that although the things Snorlax made were also delicious, there was still a difference in taste compared to what Anji made. The gourmets who frequented the store could tell the difference with one taste.
Today's buns looked particularly unique, and the customer swallowed, feeling that the white, plump buns in front of them were seducing them.
"Ralts ~ Ralts ~"
Ralts nodded at the customer.
"It seems like I've come at the right time today." With that, he picked up a bun and took a bite. After eating it, his expression froze. "This… bun…"
"Ralts ~" Ralts tilted her head and looked at the customer cutely, as if saying: Is there something wrong with the bun?
"The little boss's skills have improved again!" the customer exclaimed.
If he had to say what was different about today's buns compared to before, he was sorry that his vocabulary was lacking and he couldn't describe it, but the inexplicably harmonious taste of the bun was something that Snorlax House's buns didn't have before.
Then he took a sip of the porridge.
As expected, although the porridge was also very delicious, it didn't have that special harmonious taste. He could tell with one taste that it wasn't the little boss's handiwork.
The customer picked up the salted duck egg in the bowl and asked Ralts, "Ralts, how do I eat this?"
"Ralts ~"
Upon hearing this, Ralts stuck out her butt and climbed onto the chair opposite the customer. Then, she took the salted duck egg from the customer, tapped it twice on the corner of the table, neatly peeled off the shell, and then put the peeled salted duck egg back into the bowl. She took a chopstick and gently poked it, and immediately golden oil flowed out, accompanied by bursts of aroma.
"Wow ~ it smells so good!" the customer exclaimed. Seeing Ralts push the bowl back, he asked, "Can I eat it now?"
"Ralts ~"
Ralts nodded, and pointed to the white porridge in front of the customer.
The customer understood, "It tastes better with white porridge?"
"Ralts ~ Ralts ~"
Ralts nodded repeatedly, her watermelon head swaying, melting the customer's heart.
"Okay, I understand, thank you Ralts."
The customer took a sip of the porridge, and then put a chopstick of salted duck egg into his mouth. The delicate taste of the egg white, slightly grainy, but incomparably mellow egg yolk, the salty aroma and the soft taste of the white porridge blended together.
Amazing!
The customer gave Ralts a thumbs up, "What a wonderful recommendation!"
"Ralts ~ Ralts ~"
Upon hearing this, Ralts happily jumped off the chair, holding the menu and trotting to greet other customers. Whenever she encountered customers who didn't know how to eat salted duck eggs, Ralts would enthusiastically offer her recommendations, thus receiving praise from customers one after another, becoming a little star in the store.
Mephisto also came to Snorlax House for breakfast today as usual. Today, Angel was with her.
Standing at the door, Angel looked at the sign above his head and said, "This is the store opened by Her Highness?"
"Let's go in. I heard that Her Highness is back, she must be in the store today," Mephisto said.
Hearing Mephisto say this, Angel began to feel jealous again, but he didn't show it, and besides, he already knew that Her Highness didn't like Mephisto.
Mephisto raised her foot and walked into the store, with Angel following closely behind.
Espurr saw the two and immediately went forward to greet them.
"Meow purr ~ ~"
"Good morning, Espurr," Mephisto greeted Espurr familiarly.
"Hello," Angel also quickly greeted Espurr upon seeing this.
"Meow purr ~ Meow purr ~"
Espurr waved at the two, led them to an empty table to sit down, and handed them the menu in her arms.
Mephisto opened the menu and, after seeing the new additions, looked at Espurr and asked, "Is Her Highness in the store?"
"Meow purr ~" Espurr nodded.
Mephisto quickly scanned the menu and ordered without hesitation: "Two salted duck eggs, a bowl of century egg and lean pork porridge, two meat buns, two cabbage buns, two chives buns, and twenty milk-flavored steamed buns, please."
She was taking the milk-flavored steamed buns home for her Pokémon to eat. She found that her Pokémon especially liked the milk-flavored steamed buns from Her Highness's store, so she always ordered and took them away every time she came.
Angel was stunned by Mephisto.
"Mephisto, isn't twenty a bit too much? We can't finish them all."
Mephisto glanced at him, "I ordered all of this for myself, if you want to eat, order it yourself."
Angel: . . .
"Then… then I'll have the same as Mephisto," Angel said with an embarrassed expression.
"Meow purr ~" Espurr nodded, indicating that she understood, and then left gracefully with the two menus.
After Espurr left, Angel asked, "Mephisto, can you really finish ordering so much?"
Mephisto replied, "Most of it is for taking away. My Pokémon also like the food made by Her Highness."
Angel was suspicious: Is the food made by Her Highness really that delicious?
Soon, Espurr used her psychic powers to bring back the two's meals. Even though there were so many things, Espurr was able to control them very well, which made Angel couldn't help but admire her.
Her Highness's Pokémon has such strong control!
"Meow purr ~ ~" Please enjoy.
Putting the things on the table one by one, Espurr raised a cute smile.
"Thank you."
"Thank you."
Mephisto and Angel thanked Espurr at the same time.
When Mephisto ate the first bite of the bun, she immediately noticed its uniqueness. She muttered to herself: "Her Highness's cooking skills have improved again…"
This excellent taste has brought the food made by Her Highness into a new realm!
Angel didn't hear clearly and asked suspiciously, "Mephisto, what did you say?"
Mephisto shook her head, "Eat quickly, I believe you will fall in love with the food made by Her Highness." She had absolute confidence in Her Highness.
Angel picked up a bun and took a bite with some skepticism. With just one bite, he was conquered by the deliciousness.
"This… this… this is too delicious, isn't it?"
No wonder Mephisto likes this place so much! He couldn't believe that there was such delicious food in the world!
Because it was his first time eating it, Angel was inevitably a little shocked.
"Delicious, right?" Mephisto smiled, "I told you you would like the food made by Her Highness."
"Delicious! Delicious!" Angel nodded repeatedly, and couldn't wait to continue eating, "Why didn't I come sooner!"
Soon, except for the milk-flavored steamed buns that were to be taken away, the table was wiped clean by the two.
Angel rubbed his stomach and said, "The food made by Her Highness is very delicious, but this century egg and lean pork porridge tastes weird."
Not everyone likes the taste of century egg, so today's century egg and lean pork porridge is the worst-selling porridge in the store.
However, the people who like it really like it, like Mephisto.
"Strange?" Mephisto wiped his mouth with a napkin and said, "I think it's delicious! It can be ranked first today."
"First?! Are you serious?" Angel didn't understand. He looked at Mephisto with a strange expression and said, "Your taste is really weird!"
Mephisto rolled his eyes at him.
(Ange: Angel, there's a reason why you can't catch Mephisto.)
But from today onwards, Angel became a complete fan of Snorlax's home. Not only did he come every day, but he also often brought his classmates from school.
At 10:00, Ange closed the door on time.
After the guests left, Ange looked at the sales bill for today displayed by Robert No. 2 and fell into deep thought. After a long while, he said, "It seems that everyone's acceptance of century eggs is not very high."
He had expected this. There were many people in his previous life who didn't like century eggs.
"Kecleon, let's cook less pork and century egg congee in the future!"
"Kec! Kec!" Kecleon nodded.
After sorting out today's happiness points and alliance coin earnings, Ange and the Pokémon started cleaning up.
Ange and Kecleon cleaned the kitchen, while Espurr led Meowth and Ralts to clean the outer hall.
While Espurr and the others were cleaning, Gengar suddenly appeared, wanting to help. This startled the three Pokémon who didn't know about its existence. They ran all the way to the kitchen and hid behind Ange.
"Meow! Meow!" Ange, there's a ghost!
Meowth said, shivering.
When Ange saw Gengar, he smiled and introduced them, "This is Gengar. It's been in the store for a while, but you just didn't notice it. It has no malice. It just wanted to help you."
At this moment, Espurr had a flash of inspiration and said to Gengar, "Meowpah! Meowpah! Meowpah!"
"Gengar! Gengar!"
Gengar nodded shyly.
In an instant, Espurr suddenly understood, and everything finally became clear.
No wonder it always felt that the store inexplicably became clean and tidy. At first, it didn't care and thought it was just its illusion, but recently this feeling has become more and more obvious. It almost thought the store was haunted recently!
So it was Gengar!
"Meowpah! Meowpah!"
Espurr thanked Gengar. Gengar's help did save it a lot of effort.
"Gengar! Gengar!"
Gengar waved shyly, indicating that it was welcome.
After cleaning up, Ange said, "Alright, let's go home!"
"Meowpah!"
"Meow!"
"Ralts!"
The Pokémon responded happily.
Gengar looked at Ange, then at Espurr and the others, weakly raised its hand and shouted along.
"Gengar!"
Then Ange and the Pokémon went home together.
After returning home, Ange introduced Gengar to everyone, and everyone warmly welcomed it.
Ange asked Gengar again to confirm, "Gengar, are you sure you want to learn to cook with me?"
"Gengar!"
Gengar nodded.
So Ange stretched out his hand to Gengar and said, "Okay, Gengar, from today onwards, you are also a member of this family, as my third disciple."
First disciple Snorlax, second disciple Kecleon, third disciple Gengar!
"Gengar! ~"
Gengar reached out and shook hands with Ange.
"Bud! Bud!"
Budew took the lead in applauding, followed by Snorlax, Kecleon, and Diancie.
Only Metagross couldn't applaud easily, so it could only express its welcome to Gengar with a smiling face.
For some reason, Ange felt like he had become Tang Sanzang, with three non-human disciples.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but laugh.
"Snor! Snor!" Master, what are you laughing at?
Snorlax asked suspiciously.
Ange said, "I thought of an interesting story."
"Snor!" Story?
Snorlax tilted its head, looking blank.
Ange patted its head, "I'll tell you when I have time."
Snorlax nodded obediently.
Then Ange suddenly thought that he didn't seem to have seen Gengar's data yet, so he looked at Gengar with the Eye of Observation.

After reading Gengar's data, Ange finally understood why Jarvis repeatedly asked Dao Ka and Yi Sha to capture it. It really had great potential.
Then Diancie arranged a room for Gengar on the third floor, right next to Diancie's own.
Looking at the clean and tidy room, Gengar felt like it was dreaming.
"Gengar! Gengar!" Is this really a place for me to live?
Gengar repeatedly confirmed to Diancie.
"Of course!" Diancie nodded, "Our rooms are almost the same."
"Gengar! Gengar!"
Gengar happily wandered around the room, touching the soft bed for a while, and touching the tall cabinet for a while. Language could no longer express the joy in its heart.
Diancie said, "See if there's anything missing in the room. If there's anything missing, tell me and I'll have Ange add it for you."
"Gengar! Gengar!"
Gengar shook its head vigorously. How could such a good room be missing anything? It was simply like heaven.
Diancie said with a smile, "Okay, it doesn't matter if you can't think of it now. It's the same if you make it up later."
"Gengar!" Gengar nodded.
After Gengar got familiar with the room, Diancie took it downstairs to have lunch with everyone.
When Gengar saw the table full of rich dishes, it felt shocked again. It had never seen so much delicious food in its life!
Ange waved his hand and greeted it, "Gengar, come over and eat together!"
Gengar floated to the table like in a dream. It looked at Ange with a warm smile, Diancie who was gentle and beautiful, Snorlax who was adorable, Kecleon who was handsome, Budew who was drooling at the food, and Metagross who was smiling at it, and Spinda who was swaying with its eyes closed. It was a little dazed for a while.
Will these be my family and partners in the future?
For some reason, Gengar had an urge to cry. Its heart was bulging, as if something was about to overflow.
"Alright, everyone, let's eat!"
With Ange's order, Snorlax and Budew cheered and immediately started eating.
Gengar was a little dazzled by the table full of food, and for a while, it didn't know which dish to start with.
At this moment, three pairs of chopsticks holding dishes stretched out to the bowl in front of it at the same time.
Gengar froze.
Ange, Diancie, and Snorlax who were picking up dishes also froze.
Ange picked up a chopstick of scrambled eggs with tomatoes for Gengar, Snorlax picked up its favorite braised fish for Gengar, and Diancie picked up a chopstick of extremely delicious steamed cod for Gengar.
Ange, Snorlax, and Diancie didn't expect that they would have a tacit understanding, and they couldn't help but smile at the same time.
Ange patted Gengar and said, "Eat quickly, or it will get cold."
Gengar suppressed the tears in its eyes, nodded vigorously, stretched out its hand and wiped its eyes suddenly, wiped away the tears and showed a big smile, revealing its red tongue.
"Gengar ~ ~ Gengar ~ ~" Very delicious, too delicious.
Ange smiled and said, "That's good."
Snorlax and the others also showed kind smiles to Gengar when they heard this.
This lunch was the most delicious meal Gengar had ever eaten.
Even many years later, even though Ange's cooking skills had reached the peak, Gengar, who had evolved into Gengar, still couldn't forget this special lunch.
