After enjoying lunch, David and his two partners were lazily resting on the sofa.
He was really too full.
On the sofa, Riolu leaned against David, holding a game console, and was playing Pokémon Grand Brawl with him.
David was mercilessly "bullying" Riolu, a newbie who had never played games before.
On the screen, the Snorlax controlled by David quickly ascended with a Fly, easily dodging the Dragon Pulse released by the Lucario controlled by Riolu. Then he used a Dragon Rush from the sky to take away Lucario's last sliver of health.
KO! As the end credits flashed.
Riolu, playing for the first time, was defeated by David, who relied on his rich gaming experience. Such matches had happened many times.
"Riolu!"
Riolu, who was defeated, wasn't angry and clamored for another round.
The little fox, uninterested in games, was currently lying in David's arms watching a movie.
The delicious food at noon was quite satisfying, but the after-effects of the spicy dishes were too strong. David himself still felt hot all over and hadn't recovered.
Seeing Zorua watching a movie on the side, he casually scooped her up and placed her beside him.
The cool sensation from the Ghost-type little fox was like a small air conditioner, which was perfect at the moment.
After this meal, David also understood the effect of cooking with Aura Power.
After adding Aura, the dishes David made were no longer ordinary.
Strong mental energy was contained in the dishes.
Both the little fox and Riolu said that after eating this meal, they felt their internal energy had increased.
According to David's estimation, if consumed long-term, it could even raise the Pokémon's energy level.
David hadn't expected his cooking to be so exaggerated.
Raising a Pokémon's level through dietary supplements was not an impossible feat. Those Breeding Masters and even Senior Breeders could basically achieve this.
Just look at their Pokémon, which had barely trained or battled, yet their levels were still incredibly high.
But that was built on years of accumulation and the use of many precious ingredients.
However, the only rare ingredient in David's cooking was that carefully selected leek from Sirfetch'd.
In terms of value, it wasn't much, so in terms of cost alone, David was already far ahead of them.
Rounding it up, Master David could also be considered a Breeding Master, and perhaps even the first person to truly combine a Trainer and a chef!
What was this? A Breeding Master who can't cook isn't a good Trainer?
"But the effect is good, it's just a bit too strong. Still can't eat too much," David sighed to himself.
If he could use this technique to make Pokéblocks, that would be great.
He could try it when he had time.
However, David couldn't help but let his thoughts wander at this moment.
After being enhanced by Aura, just a leek could create such delicious dishes.
What if he got the five secret spices from the Paldea region...
If he had the chance to get secret spices in the future, who knows how delicious the dishes he would make would be, David thought.
As afternoon arrived, David still didn't go to school.
Just after lunch, David received a call from his mother, telling him to come to the Imperial Capital Research Institute later.
Before David could ask what was happening, his mother told him that Gallade was already on his way to pick him up, then hung up the phone directly.
This left David utterly bewildered.
There was nothing he could do, so David had to call his homeroom teacher to ask for another half-day leave and waited at home for Gallade to pick him up.
Unexpectedly, just a few minutes after he hung up the phone, a familiar green and white figure suddenly appeared in front of David.
After greeting him, Gallade gently grabbed David's arm.
Then their figures vanished from the house.
Only Zorua and Riolu, utterly bewildered, were left in the living room, staring at each other.
Where did my Trainer go?
Outside the Imperial Capital Research Institute's gate, David leaned against the wall, almost about to throw up.
It was then that David realized that when his mother said she was coming to pick him up, this was how she meant it!
As soon as Gallade appeared, without even having time to speak, he directly used Teleport on David all the way to the Imperial Capital Research Institute.
It should be known that David's residence was near the school, in the South District.
The Imperial Capital Research Institute, however, was located on the edge of the North District, a distance of over 100 kilometers from south to north.
Using Teleport all the way in one go almost made David unable to recover.
"Gallade..."
Seeing David's discomfort, Gallade, looking a little anxious, showed an apologetic expression.
"It's... it's nothing... Gallade, let's go in quickly!"
After catching his breath, David slowly said.
He knew that if it weren't for an urgent matter, Gallade wouldn't have chosen this method to bring him over.
He should first go to his mother to see what exactly happened.
Why was she so frantically having Gallade bring him over.
"Sister Lucy..."
Entering the research institute, someone was already waiting at the entrance.
David saw the familiar leading figure and called out.
"Let's save the pleasantries for later! Hurry inside, the professors are already waiting for you."
Lucy finally breathed a sigh of relief when she saw David's figure.
There wasn't much time for pleasantries now, so she quickly led David into the research institute.
Seeing everyone looking anxious, David, although full of questions, knew it was not the time to ask them, so he could only follow them quickly inside.
Given the urgency, if Teleport couldn't be used here, David estimated that Gallade would probably have directly used Teleport to get him to the laboratory.
It should be known that important areas, such as laboratories, official League institutions, and other important buildings, all have anti-Teleportation devices installed.
These devices can disrupt the psychic waves of Psychic-type Pokémon, causing them to fail in spatial positioning.
They are specifically designed to guard against Psychic-type Pokémon that can use Teleport.
It's easy to imagine that if there weren't such equipment, wouldn't it mean that as long as there was one Pokémon that could use Teleport, all the League's secrets would be exposed?
What secrets could there be between countries then!
After a hurried rush, after passing through the last door, David and the others finally arrived at their destination.
