Elf, a genius scientist who traveled from one piece

"Grumble..."

Su Sheng's stomach protested again.

"Fruit really isn't filling."

Su Sheng patted his protesting little stomach and looked down at Umbreon, saying:

"There's an old saying in Yanhuang, 'Food is the most important thing to the people.' Let's fill our bellies first, then slowly think about the future."

"Umbre~"

Umbreon nodded in response.

Although it hadn't yet emerged from the sorrow of being abandoned by its original owner.

In the short time, less than ten minutes, of interacting with the human boy before it, Umbreon had already sensed that the boy had no malice or prejudice towards it.

This was enough to become Umbreon's reason for following him.

...

After Su Sheng and Umbreon left.

A figure dressed in a black cloak, resembling a gambler god, emerged from an alleyway beside the street behind.

The eyes under the top hat were filled with disbelief, and he muttered to himself:

"Dark type... Causing an evolved Pokémon to de-evolve... That kid... Is he kidding me?"

If it were any other time, he would have thought it was just some chuunibyou nonsense from a kid.

But through the short period of observation just now, he also discovered that Su Sheng exuded a maturity completely unlike his age, and his eyes contained a powerful confidence.

Making him have to wonder, could he... really do it?

Sakaki was silent for a long time.

If it were any other time, even if he didn't personally observe it.

He would at least send a subordinate to track that kid to see if he could really stir up something.

But now... he wasn't in the mood.

Recently, Sakaki had been secretly searching for his missing son.

Not finding him in Kanto, Sakaki ran to Johto.

He didn't even use his Team Rocket subordinates.

Because Sakaki hadn't told anyone about having offspring, including his subordinates.

Because children often become a parent's weakness.

As the leader of Team Rocket, Sakaki had countless enemies in the underworld.

Once his opponents knew he had a son, what would happen? How could an old fox like Sakaki not imagine it?

So he had always kept this matter a secret.

Yet even so, his child was still missing!

"Just... who is it!?"

Sakaki gritted his teeth secretly, not in the mood to pay attention to Su Sheng, and turned to merge back into the darkness.

...

Pokémon Center.

"Big sister, is the food at the Pokémon Center free?"

Su Sheng looked up, blinked his cute eyes, and asked Nurse Joy sweetly.

Along the way, he had obtained a lot of information through this body.

First of all, this is Azalea Town in the Johto region.

However, the timeline of this Pokémon world is different from the one he watched in anime and played in games in his previous life.

The current Kanto League Champion is the Ghost-type user Agatha, not that Flying-type Elite Four member.

In other words, there are at least several years before the timeline of the story Su Sheng knew.

Moreover, Professor Oak hasn't invented the Pokédex yet, so the public doesn't know about the "Dark" type, which isn't a very common type.

Also, the Pokémon transfer device and the Pokémon recovery device that players use every day in the game... all of these are gone.

But there is one thing that exists.

That is, like Ash in the anime, the Pokémon Center provides free medical services, food, and lodging.

"Yes, little brother."

Seeing such a cute little loli, Nurse Joy on the other side of the counter immediately returned a smile.

Su Sheng felt the joy of that little brat, Momonosuke.

Alas, speaking of which, not destroying the World Government in his previous life was his first regret, and his second regret was not killing that bastard Momonosuke.

Hearing that the Pokémon Center really provided free food, Su Sheng immediately beamed.

I love this world!

However, Nurse Joy's next sentence stunned Su Sheng.

"Little brother, please show me your Trainer ID."

"Huh?"

Trainer... ID?

What is that?

Oh, wait!

It seems like there was something like that in the game too. I remember it had the Trainer's name, Trainer number, and how many badges they had obtained.

But because it seemed to be just a decoration, he didn't pay attention to it at all when he played the game in his previous life...

Seeing that Su Sheng's expression was not right, the bright smile on Nurse Joy's face became a little more puzzled.

"Little friend, are you not a registered Trainer with the League? Then you have to pay, the accommodation and food costs 1000 Pokédollars per day."

Su Sheng touched his pockets, which were cleaner than his face... and began to consider how to leave without looking too embarrassed.

"...This meal is on me."

Nurse Joy suddenly said again.

"This..."

Su Sheng was a little surprised.

Nurse Joy smiled, "I can still afford this little bit of money."

...

Half an hour later, in the restaurant of the Azalea Town Pokémon Center, many Trainers were giving Su Sheng a ghostly look.

Well, he really was a ghost.

A hungry ghost.

Even Umbreon, who was squatting on the ground with a bowl of Pokémon food in front of him, didn't think the food in the bowl was fragrant anymore.

How embarrassing...

"Is it delicious?"

At this time, that Nurse Joy came over with Chansey.

"Thank you, Sister Saori, I will repay you in the future."

Su Sheng swallowed a mouthful of curry rice and gave Nurse Joy Saori a thumbs up.

According to the other party's self-introduction, Su Sheng learned that "Joy" is the surname of the Joy family.

After the surname, each Joy naturally also has a name.

And from Joy Saori's mouth.

Su Sheng also learned a lot of knowledge about this real Pokémon world.

Among them, there was the knowledge of "League Registered Trainer".

Only these Trainers can enjoy free accommodation and treatment services at the Pokémon Center.

Like the players in the game, and Ash and his friends in the anime.

The condition for becoming a League Registered Trainer is to pay a tax to the League every year from birth, and then at the age of 10, the League will give this Trainer a Pokémon with good aptitude.

Most of them are the starter Pokémon.

However, this service can only last until the age of 20, before adulthood.

Uh, that makes sense.

If you could really eat and drink for free at the Pokémon Center for a lifetime.

Then how could there still be "office workers" in this world?

In his previous life, Su Sheng played games and encountered many Trainers with the type [Business Person] on the roadside.

But after understanding these things, Su Sheng thought of another question——

Where did Ash's mother, Auntie Hanako, get her money?

Out of curiosity, Su Sheng asked Joy Saori how much tax she had to pay to become a registered trainer for ten years.

After getting the answer, Su Sheng was really curious about where Auntie Hanako, who didn't seem to work usually in the anime, got so much money.

Could it be that Professor Oak sponsored her... cough cough! I can't think about it anymore, if I think about it again, this book will be gone.

"...Sheng, are you an orphan?"

Just when Su Sheng was thinking wildly, Joy Saori suddenly asked.

Su Sheng: ???

Hey hey hey, why are you insulting people?
