Chapter 108: Me and My Companions

As usual, when the time came, Munchlax's House opened its doors, and the customers eagerly rushed inside.

Munchlax's House now had a loyal group of diners who would wait at the door for it to open every day.

Upon entering, they immediately noticed that the menu hanging on the wall had changed.

"Wow, there's something new on the menu today!" one customer exclaimed in surprise.

"Ralts~ Ralts~"

Ralts trotted over with the menu, its cute little face greeting the customers.

The customers smiled and said, "Ralts, you're as adorable as ever today!"

"Ralts~ Ralts~" Ralts graciously accepted the compliment and handed the menu to the guests, asking them what they would like to order.

"Do you have any recommendations, Ralts?" the customer asked.

Ralts tiptoed and pointed to the salted duck egg on the menu.

"Recommending this? Then I definitely have to try it today!" the guest said with a smile, and began placing the order. "I'll have two meat buns, two cabbage dumplings, a bowl of plain porridge, and one salted duck egg."

"Ralts~ Ralts~"

Ralts quickly took the order and dashed off.

Soon after, it returned, using its psychic abilities to carry the ordered items.

"Ralts is amazing!" the customer said, giving Ralts a thumbs-up.

Regulars at Munchlax's House loved Ralts, Espurr, and Meowstic. Every day, as soon as they entered, they would shower praise on the three little ones, which had become a daily routine.

"Ralts~ Ralts~"

Ralts encouraged the customers to start their meal.

When the customers saw the buns on the table, they noticed something different.

"Looking at today's buns... the little boss must be back, right?" a regular asked Ralts.

While Andrew was away, the customers knew that although Munchlax's food was good, it was different from Andrew's. Frequent diners could always tell the difference.

Today's buns looked particularly unique. The customer swallowed and felt the plump, white buns in front of him were irresistible.

"Ralts~ Ralts~"

Ralts nodded in response.

"It seems I'm here at the right time." The customer took a bite of a bun and, after finishing, looked astonished. "This... bun..."

"Ralts~" Ralts tilted its head cutely, as if to ask: Is there something wrong with the bun?

"The little boss's skills have improved again!" the customer marveled.

Describing the difference in today's buns was difficult, but the indescribable harmony in the taste was something Munchlax's House's buns hadn't had before.

Next, he sipped the porridge.

Indeed, although the porridge was also very good, it didn't have that special harmonious flavor. It was clear that it wasn't made by the little boss.

The customer picked up the salted duck egg from the bowl and asked Ralts, "Ralts, how do I eat this?"

"Ralts~"

Ralts climbed onto the chair opposite the customer, took the salted duck egg from his hand, tapped it on the edge of the table a couple of times, skillfully peeled off the shell, then placed the peeled egg back into the bowl. Ralts took a utensil, gently poked the egg, and golden oil flowed out, accompanied by a delightful aroma.

"Wow, it smells amazing!" the customer said, marveling. Seeing Ralts push the bowl back, he asked, "Can I eat it like this?"

"Ralts~"

Ralts nodded and pointed to the white porridge in front of the guest.

The customer understood, "It's better to pair it with the porridge?"

"Ralts~ Ralts~"

Ralts nodded eagerly, its head swaying, melting the customer's heart.

"Alright, I understand now. Thank you, Ralts."

The customer took a sip of porridge and then tasted the salted duck egg. The egg white was delicate, slightly grainy, and the yolk was rich and creamy. The salty flavor of the egg perfectly complemented the smooth porridge.

Perfect!

The customer gave Ralts a thumbs-up, "This is a fantastic recommendation!"

"Ralts~ Ralts~"

Hearing this, Ralts happily jumped down from the chair and, holding the menu, trotted off to attend to other diners. Whenever customers were unsure how to eat the salted duck egg, Ralts would enthusiastically offer its advice, earning praise from the diners and becoming a little star in the restaurant.

Michelle, as usual, came to Munchlax's House for breakfast today, accompanied by Angel.

Standing at the door, Angel looked at the sign and said, "Is this the restaurant run by His Highness?"

"Let's go inside. I heard His Highness is back, so he should be in the restaurant today," Michelle said.

Hearing this, Angel felt a twinge of jealousy but kept it to himself. Besides, he knew His Highness did not like Michelle.

Michelle stepped into the restaurant, followed closely by Angel.

Meowstic, seeing the two, immediately approached to greet them.

"Meow~"

"Good morning, Meowstic." Michelle greeted Meowstic with familiarity.

"Hello," Angel also quickly greeted Meowstic.

"Meow~ Meow~"

Meowstic waved at them and led them to an empty table, then handed them the menu.

Michelle opened the menu, noticed the new items, and asked Meowstic, "Is His Highness here today?"

"Meow~" Meowstic nodded.

Michelle quickly scanned the menu and ordered, "I'd like two salted duck eggs, a bowl of century egg and lean meat porridge, two meat buns, two cabbage dumplings, two chive dumplings, and twenty milk-flavored steamed buns."

She ordered the milk-flavored buns to take home for her Pokémon, who really liked them. She made sure to order and pack them every time.

Angel was surprised by Michelle's order.

"Michelle, isn't twenty a bit too much? We won't finish all that."

Michelle glanced at him, "This is all for me. If you want something, order it yourself."

Angel: ...

"Well... then I'll have the same as Michelle," Angel said awkwardly.

"Meow~" Meowstic nodded and gracefully left with the menus.

After Meowstic left, Angel asked, "Michelle, do you really think we can finish all this?"

Michelle replied, "There's a lot here for me to take away. My Pokémon also enjoy His Highness's food."

Angel wondered: Is His Highness's food really that good?

Soon, Meowstic returned with the meals using its psychic powers. Despite the large amount of food, Meowstic carried it all steadily, which made Angel admire it even more.

His Highness's Pokémon has excellent control!

"Meow~" Please enjoy your meal.

Meowstic set the dishes on the table and flashed a cute smile.

"Thank you."

"Thank you."

Michelle and Angel thanked Meowstic simultaneously.

When Michelle took her first bite of the bun, she immediately noticed its uniqueness and murmured, "His Highness's cooking has really improved…"

The superb taste had elevated His Highness's food to a new level!

Angel didn't hear clearly and asked, "Michelle, what did you say?"

Michelle shook her head, "Just eat. I'm sure you'll fall in love with His Highness's food." She had complete confidence in His Highness's cooking.

Angel, still skeptical, took a bite of a bun and was instantly won over by its flavor.

"This... this... this is unbelievably delicious!"

No wonder Michelle likes it here so much! He could hardly believe such delicious food existed!

Since it was his first time eating here, Angel was understandably amazed.

"Delicious, right?" Michelle smiled, "I told you that you would like His Highness's food."

"It's amazing! So good!" Angel nodded repeatedly, eagerly continuing to eat, "Why didn't I come here sooner?"

Soon, except for the milk-flavored buns for takeout, the table was cleared by the two of them.

Angel rubbed his stomach and said, "The food made by His Highness is fantastic, but the century egg and lean meat porridge tastes a bit odd."

Not everyone likes the taste of century eggs, so today's century egg and lean meat porridge was the least popular dish in the shop.

However, those who enjoyed it were very pleased, like Michelle.

"Odd?" Michelle said, wiping her mouth with a napkin, "I think it's delicious! It's my top choice today."

"Top choice?! Are you serious?" Angel looked at Michelle with a confused expression, "Your taste is quite ridiculous!"

Michelle rolled her eyes at his comment.

(Andrew: Angel, there's a reason you can't bag a date with Michelle.)

From today on, Angel became a devoted fan of Munchlax's House. He not only visited daily but also brought classmates from school with him.

At 10:00, Andrew closed the shop on time.

After the customers left, Andrew reviewed the sales report Robert No. 2 showed him and said after a while, "It seems people aren't very receptive to century eggs."

This was somewhat anticipated, as many didn't like century eggs even in his previous life.

"Let's make less century egg and lean meat porridge in the future!"

"Drizz~ Drizz~" The Pokémon nodded.

After organizing the day's happiness points and Pokédollars, Andrew and the Pokémon cleaned up together.

Andrew and the Pokémon cleaned the kitchen, while Meowstic, Espurr and Ralts cleaned the hall.

While they were cleaning, Meowstic and the others were startled by the sudden appearance of a Haunter wanting to help. The three Pokémon who hadn't seen it before ran in fright to the kitchen and hid behind Andrew.

"Meow~ Meow~" Andrew, there's a ghost!

Meowstic shivered and screamed.

When Andrew saw Haunter, he smiled and introduced it to them, "This is Haunter. It has been in the store for a while, but you just didn't notice it. It means no harm; it was just trying to help you.'"

At that moment, Meowstic had a sudden insight and addressed Haunter, "Meow~ Meow~ Meow~"

"Haun~ Haun~"

Haunter shyly nodded in response.

Instantly, Meowstic realized the truth, and everything became clear.

No wonder the store had always seemed to magically become clean and tidy. At first, Meowstic had thought it was just an illusion, but lately, the feeling had grown stronger. It had even started to think the store might be haunted!

So it was Haunter!

"Meow~ Meow~"

Meowstic thanked Haunter. Its help had indeed saved a lot of work.

"Haun~ Haun~"

Haunter shyly waved, signaling that no thanks were necessary.

After tidying up, Andrew said, "Alright, let's head home!"

"Meow~"

"Meow~"

"Ralts ~"

The Pokémon responded joyfully.

Haunter looked at Andrew, then at Meowstic and the others, and weakly raised its hand to join the cheer.

"Haun~"

Then Andrew and the Pokémon made their way back home together.

Once home, Andrew introduced Haunter to everyone, and they gave it a warm welcome.

Andrew checked with Haunter again, "Haunter, are you really sure you want to learn to cook with me?"

"Haun~"

Haunter nodded.

So, Andrew extended his hand to Haunter and said, "Alright, Haunter, from today on, you are also part of this family as my third apprentice."

The first apprentice is Munchlax, the second is Drizzile, and the third is Haunter!

"Haun~~"

Haunter reached out and shook hands with Andrew.

"Paw~ Paw~"

Pawmi led the applause, followed by Munchlax, Drizzile, and Diancie, who all clapped enthusiastically.

Only Metagross, unable to clap easily, showed its welcome to Haunter with a smile.

For some reason, Andrew felt like he had become Tang Seng with three non-human apprentices.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but laugh.

"Munch~ Munch~" Master, what's so funny?

Munchlax asked, puzzled.

Andrew replied, "I just thought of an interesting story."

"Munch~" A story?

Munchlax tilted its head in confusion.

Andrew patted its head and said, "I'll tell you when we have some time."

Munchlax nodded obediently.

Andrew then suddenly remembered that he hadn't checked Haunter's data, so he used his observation skills to review it.

After reviewing Haunter's data, Andrew understood why Alva had insisted on capturing it; it indeed held significant potential.

Later, Diancie arranged a room for Haunter on the third floor, right next to her own.

Looking at the clean and tidy room, Haunter felt as if it were in a dream.

"Haunt~ Haunt~" Is this really my place?

Haunter kept asking Diancie for confirmation.

"Of course!" Diancie nodded. "All of our rooms are pretty much the same."

"Haunt~ Haunt~"

Haunter happily floated around the room, touching the soft bed and the tall wardrobe. There were no words to describe the joy it felt.

Diancie said, "Look around and see if there's anything missing from the room. If you need something, just let me know, and I'll have Andrew get it for you."

"Haunt~ Haunt~"

Haunter shook its head excitedly. In such a wonderful room, nothing could possibly be missing. It felt like paradise.

Diancie chuckled, "Alright then, but if you think of anything later, we can always add it."

"Haunt~" Haunter nodded.

Once Haunter became familiar with the room, Diancie took it downstairs to join the others for lunch.

When Haunter saw the table overflowing with delicious food, it was stunned once again. In all its life, it had never seen so much food!

Andrew waved and called, "Haunter, come on over and join us!"

Haunter floated dreamily over to the table. It looked at Andrew's warm smile, Diancie's gentle and graceful demeanor, the adorable Munchlax, the dashing Drizzile, the drooling Pawmi, and the smiling Metagross and swaying Komala. For a moment, Haunter was at a loss for words.

Were these going to be its family and friends from now on?

Somehow, Haunter felt like it was about to cry. Its heart was full, as if it could burst at any moment.

"Alright, everyone, dig in!"

With Andrew's call, Munchlax and Pawmi cheered and immediately started eating.

Haunter was overwhelmed by the sight of the food and didn't know where to start.

At that moment, three pairs of chopsticks reached into its bowl at the same time.

Haunter froze.

Andrew, Diancie, and Munchlax were also taken aback.

Andrew had picked up a piece of tomato scrambled eggs, Munchlax added a piece of its favorite braised fish, and Diancie placed some steamed cod, tender and delicious, into Haunter's bowl.

Andrew, Munchlax, and Diancie looked at each other and laughed, realizing they all had the same idea.

Andrew patted Haunter and said, "Go ahead and eat before it gets cold."

Haunter fought back its tears, nodded vigorously, and clumsily used the chopsticks to pick up a bit of fish and put it in its mouth. But in the end, it couldn't hold back its tears, and they fell.

Seeing this, Andrew quickly asked, "Haunter, what's wrong? Don't you like the food?"

Haunter shook its head, wiped away its tears with its hand, and then smiled broadly, sticking out its red tongue.

"Haunt~~ Haunt~~" It's delicious, so delicious.

Andrew smiled, "I'm glad to hear that."

Munchlax and the others also smiled kindly at Haunter.

That meal was the most delicious lunch Haunter had ever eaten.

Even many years later, after Andrew's cooking skills had reached perfection and Haunter had evolved into Gengar, it never forgot that special meal.
