Pokémon orphanage

"Pika~" Pikachu patted his chest confidently, then looked around seriously.

Taylor followed Pikachu and looked around the market.

The vegetable market in the Pokémon world is different from the vegetable market in the previous life. There are some ingredients here that were not available in the previous life, but there are also some that are similar to the previous life.

For example, tomatoes, potatoes, lettuce, etc.

Basically all the vegetables you need are available, but the prices are naturally high.

"Hiss," Taylor looked at the rare mushrooms being sold at a stall, which were priced as high as 600 Alliance Coins each. Taylor couldn't help but take a breath.

Taylor has eaten rare mushrooms before, but they were not very expensive at that time. Moreover, Taylor does not like to eat rare mushrooms because they do not taste as good as other wild ingredients.

The taste of fresh vegetables is much better than that of rare mushrooms.

"This price is really outrageous," Taylor shook his head and passed over the expensive rare mushrooms.

However, looking at the vegetable market in front of him, Taylor also thought of a question. Since there are rare mushrooms, why doesn't he see other wild ingredients?

Is it that people in the Pokémon world don't know that they can eat them?

This made Taylor a little greedy. He really liked eating wild ingredients. All kinds of wild ingredients tasted very good. It was a pity that they were not always available for eating. Wild ingredients had to be found according to the season.

"I don't know if there are any on the mountains in this world," Taylor took a look at the entrance of the vegetable market. There are mountains near Viridian City, and the Pokémon League is located on the mountains.

However, because Taylor has to take care of the little ones in the Pokémon orphanage, he rarely ventures out, let alone goes up the mountain.

"Pika!" Just when Taylor was thinking about whether he should go up the mountain to pick some ingredients to improve his diet in the future, he felt someone tugging at his trouser.

Taylor looked down and saw it was Pikachu.

Pikachu was pointing in a direction excitedly at this moment, and Taylor knew at a glance that Pikachu had found something good.

"What did you find?" Taylor followed Pikachu and found that Pikachu was pointing at a vegetable stall, and then Pikachu stopped in front of a pile of tomatoes.

Taylor has worked with Pikachu many times, and he knows that Pikachu is telling him that the tomatoes here are of good quality.

"Boss, how much is this tomato?" Taylor squatted down, picked up a tomato and squeezed it.

Soft.

Taylor understood that it seemed that the boss was growing traditional old tomatoes.

"This? Four Alliance Coins a kilogram," The vegetable seller was an elderly lady. The other party took a look and gave the price with a smile.

Taylor nodded, the price was quite cheap.

The main reason is that the tomato variety is different.

This kind of old tomato is the kind that you can eat directly by peeling the skin. It is soft and delicious, with the right amount of sourness and sweetness. The tomato juice bursts out when you take a bite.

This kind of tomato can be made into a dish by peeling the skin and sprinkling sugar on it.

Compared with those tomatoes that have been modified for easy transportation and are hard and unpalatable, this type of tomato tastes better, but it is not able to withstand long-distance transportation and long-term storage.

After buying the tomatoes, Taylor followed Pikachu to several locations and picked out some vegetables of good quality. Pikachu's mission was then completed.

"Thank you, Pikachu. I'll take you back later," Taylor rubbed Pikachu's head with a smile, and then was shocked by static electricity again.

"Pikachu~" Pikachu called out proudly.

Taylor withdrew his hand. Although the vegetables had been bought, he also had to buy some ingredients to improve the little ones' meals with the 30,000 Alliance Coins from Professor Oak.

It was this selling price that made Taylor feel a little sick to his stomach.

One kilogram of Enigma Berry paste costs more than 500 Alliance Coins.

"At this price, you can buy eight or nine kilograms of common berries, right?" Taylor's hands were shaking a little when he took out the money.

More than 500 Alliance Coins per kilogram, this price is really amazing.

And this is of very ordinary quality. Taylor just saw a piece of Enigma Berry paste being sold for more than 2,000 Alliance Coins per kilogram.

All I can say is that a rich person can spend a month's salary on one meal.

After buying the Enigma Berry paste, Taylor also bought some ingredients. The prices were reasonable, and people in the Pokémon world don't prioritize certain parts, making them relatively affordable.

Taylor walked out with Pikachu while thinking about today's menu, planning some Enigma Berry paste with potatoes and sautéed greens.

As soon as he walked to the entrance of the vegetable market, Taylor saw a person.

"Brock?" Taylor looked at the squinting eyes standing at the entrance of the vegetable market in front of him and was a little surprised.

Although it was the first time he saw Brock, Taylor still recognized him. After all, his eyes were really...

There isn't much difference between opening and closing.

But Brock is not from Viridian City, so why did he come here?

Although Taylor was a little curious, he did not go up to ask. After all, he knew Brock, but Brock did not know him.

After coming out of the vegetable market, Taylor rode his bicycle and took Pikachu back to the woods. Pikachu jumped down with his bun in his hand, waved at Taylor, and then disappeared into the forest.

Taylor glanced at the forest, then remembered the time when he was coming back from buying ingredients and was stopped by Pikachu and asked for food, and he couldn't help but smile.

A certain Pikachu who almost joined the cuteness group out of starvation relied on him and was considered to be on the path of independent path.

Taylor returned to the Pokémon orphanage humming a tune happily. There was still plenty of time, so he planned to make a good lunch to improve the appetite of the little ones and also to welcome the volunteers.

After all, the other party does not want any salary and works in the Pokémon orphanage for free every day. If the food is not good and can only eat instant noodles every day, Taylor himself would feel bad about it.

"Mr. Taylor!" Taylor met Lucy as soon as he came back.

Lucy was cleaning and waved happily when she saw Taylor.

Taylor also greeted Lucy with a smile, then returned to the kitchen with the ingredients.

"Let me see," Taylor took out a few eggs from the food cabinet.

These eggs are produced by Chansey. After all, although the price of this kind of egg is slightly higher than common eggs, they are also more nutritious.

Eggs in the Pokémon world are also very expensive, and Taylor usually chooses to buy these Chansey's eggs.

Moreover, Chansey's eggs can help injured Pokémon replenish nutrients and speed up recovery.
