I'm not a Pokémon succubus.

He skillfully pulled out the kitchen knife and started cutting the ingredients for the dish.

Hanako, who was helping him, looked surprised by his serious expression.

"Xiao Ai, don't you like cooking?"

"Ok?"

Coach Ai looked at Hanako with a bewildered expression and asked, "Why do you say that?"

"Because, you look so serious, as if you are worried about something."

"What's wrong?" Hanako asked with great concern.

"what......"

Aixia showed a rather helpless expression, shook her head, and said: "No, nothing happened, I just subconsciously became serious."

"After all, while Lalulas is still growing, the other companions are exhausted from training and fighting all day long. They need to make up for their nutrition and pay attention to the taste of the food... If we don't take it seriously, I'm afraid they won't like today's meal."

"Hmm~ I see."

Hanako nodded thoughtfully and said, "It's not a bad thing to be more serious about cooking, but if you relax, the food might be more delicious~"

"what......"

"look."

Hanako pointed out the kitchen window.

Aisha looked in the direction her finger pointed.

Outside the window is the backyard of Professor Oak's research institute.

In the backyard, Ash's Pokémon and Coach Ai's Pokémon were resting and playing there, looking very happy.

"Xiao Ai, your friends, do you really dislike your cooking...?"

"Ok?"

"Hehehe~" Hanako laughed a few times, covering her mouth as if she had remembered something funny. Then she told some stories about her and Xiaozhi, saying, "Auntie, sometimes I feel too tired from doing housework and want to be lazy. That's why I don't take cooking as seriously as I should. Sometimes the food I make doesn't taste as good as usual, which makes me feel bad too."

"However, Xiaozhi also feels that the food he eats is delicious every day... I once asked him, can't you tell that the food mom made today is not delicious?"

Hanako looked at Aisha and said, "Guess what Xiaozhi said?"

"what?"

Aixia was a little curious and stopped cutting vegetables.

Paying attention when listening carefully is also a sign of his respect for Hanako as an elder.

Hanako's smile widened when she saw this, and she continued, "That child said, 'Mom isn't Superman, so it's normal that she can't always make delicious meals. Besides, Mom has to clean our house, buy groceries, and do other things all day long, so it's normal for her to be tired. But Mom still cooks for me, and I'm already very happy to eat the meals she cooks.'"

"That's what the kid said!"

At the end of the speech, Hanako's face was filled with a maternal smile.

This is the thing that a mother is most proud of.

"It's quite like Xiaozhi's style." Aisha smiled.

"That kid might be a bit tongue-tied, but sometimes he can say something so touching... This proves his mother, me, has pretty good genes!"

Hanako unexpectedly looked proud.

Then, she smiled, shook her head, sighed, and said, "Although I'm not a trainer, I do realize that raising a child is not much different from raising a Pokémon. Both children and Pokémon can feel the affection of their parents or trainers... Just like what Xiaozhi said to me, Xiao Ai, your Pokémon probably won't care much about the taste of the food. As long as you make the food for them, they will like it."

"because......"

Hanako smiled.

"Whether it tastes good or not, it's all the food you prepared for everyone with all your heart, isn't it?"

"Um......"

Aisha looked out the window.

Hanako's words touched him a little.

Outside the window, Umbreon and Marill leaned on Charizard. They had just finished their exercise for the day and were a little tired.

Charizard was also happy to let them lean on it. It believed that its huge body was now used to protect its companions from wind and rain.

"Roar......"

It turned over, and Marill and Umbreon were pressed under its belly with terrified faces.

"Bu~yi!"

Faintly, Coach Ai heard the voice of Umbreon.

Then, Marill raised Charizard.

"dew!"

The strongman is still the same strongman, and his extraordinary strength has the value that will never fade.

Marill threw Charizard into the sky.

Charizard flapped its wings and flew to the side of the Shining Metal Monster, showing an expression that said, "Look, now I can fly too, and fly very fast."

"..."

The shiny metal monster, who was staring at the small lake and thinking about the meaning of life, looked at it speechlessly, and then ignored the big guy.

Although Shining Metal Monster is just a lump of iron, its attached super powers are not just for show.

Before Ralts was born, Coach Ai always used it as the main C with superpower attributes in the team, and the Shining Metal Monster was also willing to develop its own telekinesis.

This caused it to suffer from a common problem among Psychic-type Pokémon—a love of meditation.

Combined with the steel attribute of the Shining Metal Monster and its somewhat cold personality, it suddenly becomes uninterested in many things.

"Hmm~ Loto!"

Rotom poked his head out and looked at the Shining Metal Monster.

It sensed some room for maneuver from the character of the Shining Metal Monster.

Rotom is planning to bring Shining Metal into the house and show it some anime to see if he can coax Shining Metal into debuting as a virtual anchor and help Coach Ai make money.

By the way, let it learn programming and video editing, maybe it can help relieve some of the pressure of work...

"Hey."

When Rotom thought about his job, he couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.

Speaking of busyness, Rotom is probably the busiest Pokémon in Coach Ai's team.

The main thing is that it is not just busy with Pokémon work.

The other partners just need to exercise on time all day long and play a few games whenever they have time.

Rotom itself takes on the role of artificial intelligence based on this.

Its tasks include looking up information, planning travel routes, helping AI with shopping, and editing videos.

If Rotom weren't a cybernetic life form, it would have felt that with its current workload, it would sooner or later die suddenly in front of its computer. Coach Ai might have considered this issue, which is why he dared to exploit Rotom's labor unscrupulously, which made Rotom very desperate.

What comforts it a little is that although Coach Ai is extremely black-hearted as a boss, he is truly responsible as a trainer.

Rotom himself is also one of the best treated in the team.

The quality of the Electric Gem - Cross Lightning is much higher than that of the Victory Spark.

Besides, Coach Ai is so good-looking, so it wouldn't be a bad idea to squeeze him a little bit...

How many people want to be exploited by him but don’t have the qualifications!

I earned it myself...

"Well, I earned it~ Loto!"

Rotom has been following Coach Ai in this way, both in pain and happiness, until today.

Then it was before dinner again, and it was time to show cartoons to Lalulas.

"Loto is so tired."

Rotom went back into the phone and turned back into Phone Rotom, floating around looking for Lalulas.

Finally, it found Lalulas chewing on gems with little Kiras on the lawn in the backyard.

"Be good~ Don't eat snacks~ Otherwise you won't have enough stomach to eat later~"

The Rotom mobile phone floated in front of Lalulas, confiscated its and baby Kiras's snacks, and played their favorite cartoons before the two little guys had a tantrum.

Lalulas and Little Kiras suddenly stopped making noise.

The two little ones raised their hands and cheered.

"By ~"

"Lu~"

"Long live!"

Rotom sighed.

Jigglypuff sat behind Ralts and Little Kiras and watched cartoons with the two children.

"Lucky~"

Jigglypuff touched the heads of the two little ones.

In the past, it was the one helping in the kitchen.

However, Hanako gave it a day off today, so Jigglypuff came to see the child.

"Mi~"

The green caterpillar also crawled over.

Its huge body just became a backrest for Chansey, Ralts and Little Kiras.

Then, Rayquaza, wearing a green caterpillar skin, happily watched the cartoon that Ralts liked with everyone.

Um......

simple is the best.

"Oh~ Raising a child is so hard, Loto~"

Rotom sighed, then noticed the gaze of Ai, who was watching everyone through the kitchen window.

It gave Coach Ai a helpless smile.

Coach Ai gave it a thumbs up and mouthed "thank you for your hard work".

Rotom's phone suddenly felt like it was fully charged and ignited.

"It's not hard~"

In the kitchen, Aisha laughed out loud.

Mobile Rotom has a bit of a comedic talent.

"How about it?"

Hanako smiled and asked Aixia, "Auntie, am I right?"

"Ah."

Coach Ai nodded.

"It has to be you."

"Hmph~" Hanako happily took the kitchen knife from Coach Ai's hand, swapped places with him, and said, "Well, let me be the main cutter tonight, and you can help out on the side, Xiao Ai. Today, I'll teach you what joyful cooking is—everyday cooking!"

"Okay, thank you very much."

Aixia smiled, her heart full of sighs.

Hanako is worthy of being a mother.

She saw at a glance the problem hidden in herself that she herself was not even aware of, and solved it easily.

"Um......"
