"Click! (Dinner's ready!)"
With Lu Sha's shout, bowls of delicious-looking outdoor feasts were served on the portable folding table.
The dishes on the table were so plentiful that they didn't look like a camping trip in the wild at all; it looked more like the kitchen of a high-end restaurant had been moved there.
Although Pokémons have a different sense of taste than humans, they can still enjoy human food just as well, thanks to the cooking of Lu Sha, a master chef.
When this dish was first cooked, the heat and seasoning were tailor-made to the young lady's preference for a lighter taste.
But this doesn't mean other Pokémon have to suffer. On the other side of the table, there's a neat row of bowls of Lu Sha's special sauce.
The bland vegetables were transformed into a favorite for those with a strong palate after being dipped in the bright red, extremely spicy sauce from the unicorn rhinoceros.
The mini dragon plunged headfirst into its bowl of rich, sweet milk juice, slurping up the vegetables and juice with great relish.
The mantis was relatively refined. It used its pincers to pick up a piece of fish, dipped it in a special sour sauce rich in iron and mineral salts, and chewed it with a crunching sound.
The entire campsite instantly descended into chaos as food was served.
The sounds of Dratini smacking their lips and Rhinos swallowing filled the air, occasionally accompanied by small-scale fights over a piece of meat.
In contrast, the central area of the dining table is unusually harmonious.
Lu Sha sat in the chair with an air of authority, occasionally shoveling food into his mouth, and occasionally picking up a soup spoon with remarkable ease to add steaming hot fish soup to the young lady next to him.
In the middle of nowhere, there was no need for any table manners, and everyone ate extremely casually and unrestrainedly.
Cattleya held the warm soup bowl and sipped it slowly.
Looking at the bustling yet lively scene before her, the leaping campfire was reflected in her bright green eyes, and the smile never left her lips throughout the entire meal.
After the meal, under Lu Sha's command, the important task of washing the pots and dishes fell to Scizor and Dratini.
There's no way around it; the one-horned rhinoceros is too big for it.
One kick and the pot and bowl would be reduced to shards.
Scizor takes action, Dratini acts as a rag, the two Pokémon work together perfectly.
Lu Sha then took out an extremely professional telescopic fishing rod from his spatial backpack, along with a large bag of Pokémon food weighing dozens of kilograms.
"Click! (Come on, Miss, let me show you what adult nightlife is like!)"
He chuckled, took Cattleya's hand, and led her towards a quiet lake bay far from the camp and campfire.
Night had completely fallen by then.
The distant campfire was reduced to a faint orange glow, while the cool moonlight, like shattered silver, spread across the gently rippling lake, creating a serene and profound scene.
"Adult nightlife? Fishing?"
Gadriya was led to the lakeside, looking at Lu Sha's equipment with a puzzled expression.
She could understand fishing, but what was the point of taking such a big bag of food with her?
"Click! (Watch closely! Fishing without baiting, all you'll catch are pots! This is what a master fisherman's technique looks like!)"
Lu Sha grinned arrogantly, picked up the bag of Pokémon food weighing dozens of kilograms, and with a swipe of his paw, poured it directly into the lake in an extremely rough manner.
Almost the instant the food was put into the water, the once calm lake surface suddenly boiled.
"Flap! Splash!"
Water splashed everywhere as countless carp and goldfish surged in from all directions.
They huddled together densely, tumbling and scrambling for food under the moonlight, turning this tranquil lake bay into a bustling market.
"Click! (See that? Everything's ready, just waiting for the right moment!)"
Lu Sha proudly baited the hook with top-quality bait, then flicked the fishing rod with a flourish, accurately casting the float into the center of the densest school of fish.
He sat steadily on a large rock, striking a highly professional fishing pose, his face radiating confidence.
So many fish, and they're all incredibly stupid carp kings.
In any case, he definitely won't be flying the air force tonight!
Young lady, please watch our performance!
Caldelia sat obediently on the grass beside her, resting her chin on her hands and smiling as she watched Lu Sha perform.
Ten minutes have passed.
The fish on the lake were still frantically fighting for food, and the king carp's tails even slapped directly onto the floats on the land several times.
However... the float remained as steady as a mountain, showing no sign of sinking at all.
Even though the bait was surrounded by fish with their mouths wide open, not a single carp or goldfish took the bait.
"Click?"
Lu Sha's smile gradually disappeared.
Twenty minutes later, the free food in the lake was almost gone, but the float still didn't move.
Lu Sha's face turned completely black, his shark teeth grinding together as he couldn't help but curse at the lake: "Crack! (Are these carp blind?! My bait is so obvious, and you guys only eat the free groundbait, huh?!)"
"Pfft!"
Just as Lu Sha was getting furious, a very pleasant chuckle suddenly came from the side.
Calderia, who usually has a cold and aloof expression, actually laughed out loud for once.
She covered her mouth, her shoulders trembling slightly, and her emerald eyes gleamed with an undisguised cunning.
Lu Sha suddenly turned his head, looked at the group of blind fish, and then at the ecstatic young lady, and instantly realized what was going on.
Depend on!
So there was a traitor among his men!
The fish have all been driven away by telekinesis; it would be a miracle if we could catch any fish this way!
"Click! (Oh, you dare to trick me!)"
Lu Sha was furious and shoved the fishing rod in his hand into Cattleya's arms: "Click! (If you're so good, you do it! I want to see how you fish!)"
Cattleya blinked, confused, thinking that Lu Sha had really given up and was letting her try her luck.
Just as she gripped the fishing rod, pondering whether to use her telekinesis to hook a Magikarp and show it off to Lu Sha,
"thump!!"
With a loud bang, water splashed three feet high.
Lu Sha plunged into the lake and, like a runaway engine, frantically dog-paddled, rolled, and stirred the water in the area where the fish were most concentrated.
"Click click click! (I'll scare you all away! I won't leave a single one!)"
The carp and goldfish, who had been happily enjoying their free food, were suddenly terrified.
They scattered like birds and beasts in a flash, disappearing completely in the blink of an eye.
Not a single fish scale remained in the entire bay.
Seeing this almost suicidal act of cheating, Gadria was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter, her clear laughter carrying far in the quiet night sky, completely abandoning her usual aloof demeanor.
Just then, Cattleya's eyes darted around, and she gripped the fishing rod tightly with both hands, pulling it back forcefully.
hum!
Using telekinesis, the fishing line instantly locked onto the culprit in the water.
"Splash!"
Amidst the splashing water, a large wild Garuda was pulled directly from the water by Cattleya and landed on the grassy shore with a splash.
Lu Sha sat on the grass, soaking wet, and shook the water droplets off his head.
He looked up and met Cattleya's smiling eyes.
He grinned widely and let out a wicked "ka-ka" laugh: "Ka! (If you want to subdue me, you'll have to have a one-on-one battle!)"
Upon hearing this, Cattleya could no longer hold back and burst into laughter along with him.
Under the moonlight, the laughter of the man and the shark mingled together, brighter than a sky full of stars.
The sounds of laughter and playfulness by the lake gradually subsided.
Cattleya, holding Lu Sha's still slightly damp shark paw, returned to the camp contentedly under the moonlight.
The camp had been tidied up by the three Pokémon who stayed behind.
Not only were the pots and pans spotless, but the three guys even spontaneously started nighttime special training at the edge of the open space.
That competitive spirit was so intense that even the murkbirds in the trees would shake their heads in disapproval.
There was no other way; the three little ones' previous practice sessions were partly to deal with Lu Sha.
But after discovering that practicing the same moves repeatedly would inevitably lead to improvement, his subsequent training was entirely from the heart.
The feeling of reaping the rewards of practice and becoming stronger is incredibly addictive.
If it weren't for the energy consumption, they could keep training indefinitely.
Back at the camp, Cattleya did not sit in the portable recliner again.
She bent her legs and casually sat on the soft grass, gently resting her head on Lu Sha's broad and strong shoulders beside her, quietly gazing up at the deep night sky.
This was her first real outdoor camping experience.
There was no warm room, no hot water available at all times, and no soft velvet bed.
But she felt that everything she was experiencing now was far more vivid and exciting than the descriptions in travelogues.
That travelogue is right.
A trainer's life is incomplete without having camped under a sky full of stars with their Pokémon.
A cool evening breeze brushed past my ears as I sat beside my favorite companion, listening to the crackling of the campfire in the distance.
This feeling is wonderful.
Cattleya's gaze began to wander aimlessly.
From the vast, boundless sea of stars overhead, down to the deep, inky forest in the distance, then skimming over the shimmering, tranquil lake, and finally past the three little ones sweating profusely at the edge of the camp.
Finally, the image quietly settled on the profile of a shark standing nearby.
"Click? (What's wrong?)"
Lu Sha was keeping a close eye on the Mini Dragons, like a strict instructor, with his ears perked up and eyes wide open, afraid that his little brothers would slack off under the cover of night.
Feeling the intense and focused gaze directed at him from the side, he turned his head in confusion.
The warm light of the campfire danced on Cattleya's fair cheeks, and her emerald green eyes shone with undisguised tenderness and dependence.
"I don't want to stay in luxury hotels in the city anymore."
Cattleya suddenly murmured something softly, her tone carrying a rare hint of capriciousness.
"Click! (Not staying in a hotel? Then who will heat your bathwater, Miss? What about all those bottles and jars of daily skincare products?)"
Lu Sha mercilessly shattered the young lady's fantasy, teasing her with a chuckle.
Cattleya paused for a moment, a hint of hesitation flashing in her eyes.
A day or two of sleeping outdoors in the wind and rain is nothing new, but for her, a rich young lady with a slight obsession with cleanliness, not being able to shower for several days in a row is practically torture.
Although he has superpowers that keep even dust away, the psychological and physical discomfort is absolutely unbearable.
But... the time spent camping in the wild with Lu Sha was so happy that she didn't want to go back to those monotonous, cold suites at all.
Although it was quite enjoyable to have Lu Sha there with me.
But happiness is relative!
After a moment of hesitation, Gadriya's expression suddenly relaxed.
She tilted her head slightly, a sly smile playing on her lips, and stared intently at Lu Sha: "You'll arrange everything for me, right?"
Just like when we first met, just like every day we spent together, Gadriya silently added in her heart.
As long as Lu Sha is by my side, all problems cease to be problems.
"Kaka! (Okay! I'll take care of it!)"
Lu Sha swung his shark arm with great gusto, pounding his chest with a loud thud.
It's just arranging the young lady's daily life, isn't it?
It's no big deal!
He had already mentally devised a completely new schedule for the underworld at lightning speed.
At worst, when we go into the city during the day, we can book a top-of-the-line luxury suite for the young lady to take a bath and relax.
We can just go out and camp at night.
It's the best of both worlds, absolutely perfect!
I'm such a little genius, Shark!
