A/N: There have been a few things brought up that I feel o be addressed. First is that I don't get to pid choose okemorained , I use a legitimate roulette wheel for that. The only exception to this was Vul and that was merely because so very few pokemon fics allow the MC to have a legendary at all and hat I think of showed the legendary growing strong after being weaker which was a huge pity in my opinion. Sed was that a few people are w about how friendly he was behavie his rec apathy. The ao this is that he is a VERY good actor , which had beeioned previously. His attitude hasn't ged or anything all that much but he is merely really good at faking it. Third is more of a personal gripe of mi why is everyone saying "ge" oera between Alex and Emas mom? Like he's not flirting with her or anything of the sort but everyone seems to be thinking deeper than that for some reason I just don't get.

  After that I cooked dinner for the family while fully utilizing my cooking skill for the first time to great effect. See I first sautéed some Tauros steak cut into firips to render out the fat before removing the meat from the pan and adding a chopped sweet onion , two cloves of minced garlid two julienned carrots that I stirred frequently to let cook down. Then I degzed the pan with some red wine followed by a bit of flour and a pinch of Figy berry powder to add some heat.-

  I then tossed in the meat and diced tomatoes with some salt and pepper before letting that mix and cook down. While that was going on I had also boiled satoni noodles in salted water that was now ready at the same time my sauce , vegetables a was done. I pted up three servings ahem on the dining table along with the extra pasta in a bowl o the pan in the ter of the table. "Foods done!" I said with a smile and the whole family rushed over to the table practically drooling sihey had been smelling me cook it for the past twenty minutes.-

  "Why are there only three ptes , aren't you going to eat?" Lily asked fusion evident on her face. I shook my head "I eat what my pokemon do so I'll be cooking for Vul and myself ter." I expined holy. Birch wasted no time taking a bite of the food on his pte and moaned with a pleasure. "I'm kinda jealous of your pokemon to get to eat like this all the time!" he said holy. I chuckled "Today will actually be the first time actually sieo cook what I had avaible back at the mountain and most fed things had a pretty bitter taste save the mushrooms." I said holy.

  "You aren't by ce single are you?" Lily asked and May choked on her mouthful of food. "MOM!" she excimed with a bright red face. Lily scoffed at her though "Don't mom me! Alex here seems like a great trainer , he's fairly well mannered , handsome and cook! It would be a shame to miss out on such a good match for you." she said redug May to a blushing mess. "I'm fttered but I am not a fan of getting tied down to any one woman." I said holy with a smile.-

  She looked disappoi that "A pity , but I suppose I should have expected something like this. No offense Alex but you do seem a bit too perfect at first gnce." she says holy and I shrug. "I am by no means a womanizer since I don't believe in breakis unless necessary but I have no issue with casual flings every now and then. Other than that I have no iion to settle down at any one pce permaly , bad case of wanderlust I'm afraid." I said with a smile.-

  Birodded "It pretty on for pro traio have a simir problem after they eventually retire. They tend to get antsy and bored if they stay put until they shake it off after a couple years." he said in uanding. "Well I better head over to the general store to grab some ingredients for my own dinner but please do enjoy your meal." I said exg myself. I left the house after that and walked over to the store like I had said I was. Lee looked surprised "I hadn't expected to see you back here so soon , everything alright with what I gave you?" he asked worried a product was faulty somehow.-

  I shook my head "No no nothing like that. I just came to buy some stuff to cook dinner for my pokemon and me is all." I expined and he rexed. "I've got some kibble over in the er of the food se that should do you just fine. As for whatever else you need feel free to browse." Lee said while waving his hand to gesture at everything. "Got it thanks!" I said cheerfully and did exactly that.-

  I ighe kibble after reading the ingredients on the bag as it was basically just ground up and dried ingredients that while not a bad and definitely capable of sustaining a pokemootally fvorless. Now I rather enjoy a good fvor to my food and I KNOW my pokemon do too so even if a bit more expensive I stuck to buying a bunch of fresh or frozen ingredients to cook the meal myself. I also grabbed one of every type of seasoning Lee had avaible before heading to the ter to pay for everything.-

  "Pnning to cook the meal for your mon personally are you? To each his own I suppose. All together it's four hundred and thirty three." Lee said casually. Pulling my bag in front of me I found the pocket on the inside and started to t out the amount I needed before putting it on the ter. Lee gave me an odd look at that point "I have money from before I got teleported , it's just never e up before now." I expined and he had a look of uanding. I packed up my purchase into my bag before turning to leave the store "Don't be a stranger!" Lee called after me and I just gave him a thumbs up.-

  It was a short walk to get to the pasture that Gaia and Vul were in that now didn't have a single bde of grass on it but instead hard bck rock. It retty clear to me what had happeo cause this and I couldn't help but chuckle at the thought. Obviously Vul had takeime to use magma coat on the whole pasture removing all the pntlife and leaving only the hard bck stoer the fire energy faded away.-

  Gaia ying a little game I came up with Vul that was desigo help them strategize that I called type chess. The game was basically elemental chess and had all the pieces represent a siype with each side having two of each type piece. The exception to this rule was the "trainer" piece that ted as every type and only had one per pyer. The rules were fairly simple as at the start of the game the board was set up with one of each type piece much like chess in a specific location on the board.-

  Unlike chess however each piece only move a single spa any dire around it and a pyer only move a single piece a turn. The twist however came in the form of capturing other pieces. See unlike chess where any piece be captured by any other piece each type piece only be taken if the taking side used a super effective type piece or if that piece had been "bumped" by a rally effective type piece twice. The objective of the game was to either take the trainer piece or all the other type pieces. The trick was that each pyer basically got two ces per type as ohat type was removed from their side they pce the rept type pie the starting space.
