Pokémon: Rise of Evil

Chapter 146 Helping Pollination

I watched as Shota sat on the dining table chair with his legs crossed as if it was a matter of course, looking up at the latest news on the small TV.

For some reason, Hanako always feels like she is seeing a newlywed couple.

"Stop looking, it's time for breakfast."

Looking at the breakfast that Hanako brought to him, to be honest, Hanako's family is doing pretty well. It was Satoshi's opportunity to choose the Big Three, which required 100 million Alliance Coins, that put a financial burden on this single-parent family. But now everything is over. As for the cost of Satoshi's future training of Pokémon, it is very likely that old man Oak has already contracted it.

Shota bit into the smooth and shiny fried egg and opened his eyes in surprise as the rich yolk spread in his mouth.

Seeing the curiosity in Shota's eyes, Hanako's cherry lips curled up slightly.

"How is it? Doesn't it taste great? This is my specialty, but I was distracted yesterday and that's why you had to eat that fried egg."

Seeing Hanako puffing out her chest with pride, Shota glanced at the glass of milk next to him and drank it.

Slightly calming down the heat brought by his youthful body, Shota asked, "Have you started to refine the energy cube?"

"Hey~ How did you know?"

Shota took out a transparent jar from somewhere and shook the jar in his hand, and a collision sound came from inside.

"I found it in your room. It looks to be in very good condition. It seems you are quite capable."

"Humph - I used to be a teenage genius in the research world, but later on..."

After swallowing the last bite of fried egg, Shota said, "Since it has passed, let it go. You can start to embrace a new life. If you don't mind, I will help you, but the price is that you still have to provide special services."

After hearing the first words, Hanako was a little moved, but when she heard the second sentence, her mouth puffed up and her ears turned slightly red.

"I'm going to ignore you, Mr. Fox Mask. I'm going to go pollinate the flowers. You don't have to clean up the dishes. I'll do it when I get back."

……

Standing in front of the dishwashing window, Shota looked at Hanako, who looked like a peasant woman. He couldn't help but find it funny to see him carefully using male flowers to pollinate female flowers.

This woman seems to be a good person, but she also has her own bottom line.

With a sigh, Shota cleaned the last of the dishes, wiped his hands with a towel, and headed to the backyard.

Looking at Hanako disappearing among the branches and the zigzag escalator, Shota used his superpowers to shake it.

As expected, Hanako started to shake as the escalator began to wobble, and with a bang, she fell down.

Just when Hanako thought she was going to fall to the ground, she closed her eyes tightly for fear of the pain.

However, it was not as painful as imagined. Instead, it landed very easily on a pair of big hands.

"Ms. Hanako, you don't have to keep your eyes closed. I've caught you."

Slowly, Hanako opened her eyes and looked at the handsome man in front of her. Her heart began to beat wildly.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you!"

After Hanako's carp rolled over, she fell to the ground as she wished.

Looking at Hanako who was holding her butt and feeling sorry for the pain, Shota looked at her with some confusion.

"Ms. Hanako, you are supposed to be pollinating the flowers of those fruit trees, right?"

"Yes, yes."

"I don't have anything to do recently, so I'll be merciful and help you."

After hearing what Shota said, Hanako stood up with a thud and said, "No, there's no need to hire those pollination masters. The fee... the fee is very expensive."

Looking at Hanako holding onto the corner of his clothes, Shota couldn't help but feel a little funny. He had clearly given her a check for 1000 million yen, but she was still so frugal. He estimated that there was a high probability, or should I say a certainty, that she would return the check for 1000 million yen to him later.

Why are there such stupid people in this world? Shota doesn't quite understand why, but such people often get his help without any ulterior motives.

"Well, since we won't ask those masters, I'll use my own method. But you have to close your eyes first."

"Huh? Oh, okay."

Shota spread his perception around him, and then began to chant an unknown spell.

As Shota completes his technique, you can see a layer of dark clouds above his head.

If you look closely, you can see that they are not dark clouds, but a lot of ordinary insects.

As Shota gave the order in his mind, the group of insects began to pollinate.

After a moment, Shota broke off his connection with them and felt his own mental strength. Compared to that time, it was a qualitative leap. No, it should be said that he was crawling before, but now he could fly.

Looking at Hanako standing there with her brows furrowed and eyes closed, Shota felt that this girl was really cute.

He couldn't help but let his evil taste get the better of him and gave Hanako a slap on the head.

However, Hanako just screamed and kept her eyes tightly closed.

Thinking that his time was still precious, he gave up the idea of ​​playing with Hanako.

Shota said, "You can open your eyes now."

Hanako slowly opened her eyes, covered her painful forehead, and said, "Mr. Fox Mask, it hurts."

"Who told you to be so stupid? Well, I don't want to argue with you anymore, go check the fruit trees."

After glaring at Shota angrily, Hanako climbed up the man's self-built ladder again and began to check the pollination of a tree.

Soon, her surprised voice was heard from the dense branches: "It's really all done, Mr. Fox Mask, how did you do it?"

"A secret. Well, I suddenly realized that I have something to do. Don't forget to make lunch while reading."

Watching Shota open the door and leave the backyard, although Hanako couldn't see him, she always felt a sense of security surrounding her.

"What should we make for lunch today? Mr. Fox Mask seems to like octopus balls and octopus ham, but there seems to be no stock in the refrigerator. We should go get some stock."

Walking in the vegetable market, Hanako was happily picking and choosing. From time to time, she seemed to remember something happy and smiled foolishly.

People in the market were also infected by her cheerful appearance and seemed to be in a much better mood. Several vendors even gave her discounts.

All this seemed quite heartwarming, but there was a man who was holding a few buckets of instant noodles in his hands. He looked at Hanako's peaceful smile from afar and also smiled. However, seeing that the amount of food in Hanako's hand was not enough for a person, his heart began to beat again.
