Chapter 54 - She Isn't Simple!

Pink was stunned, she had never been told no before, at least not like this. Her family was rich and noble, having many connections throughout several Regions. She was a Pokemon trainer Prodigy, how could she accept such treatment?

"I'll remember this!" Pink couldn't hold her facade for long, she glared at Gan with gritted teeth. She stared for a while, being sure to remember his face.

"Well, if you had asked nicely, I wouldn't have had a problem. But the way you approached and spoke to me, it wasn't so nice."

This was how Gan was, he even acted like that toward Arlo when he first met him. Arlo was full of himself at first before changing later on.

"What the heck...I asked nicely. You're the one who said many disrespectful things to me." Pink refuted and pointed at Gan.

Gan wanted to point out a few things, but he didn't feel like arguing with her. So, he nonchalantly scratched his ear and turned away. He was waiting for the timer to go off, this would mean it was time to stir the pot one last time.

Seeing Gan nonchalantly ignoring her, caused her fury. But she calmed herself immediately after thinking about it. He couldn't reply to her because she was right and he was wrong, so she sneered.

Before she could say anything, the timer went off near Gan. Machop acted quickly and lifted the pot's top as Gan walked over to stir it. Machop was nearly drooling when the steam from pot rushed over its face.

All of Gan's Pokemon turned towards the large pot with greedy eyes. The next time he would have to use rice separately from the pot, instead of mixing it together with the berries and meat. Pink gulped and just watched him stir the pot silently.

Machop put the top back on after Gan was done. He would need to wait 3 more minutes until it was completely ready to serve to everyone.

"I-I challenge you to a Pokemon battle. If you lose, you have to give me some of that stew. If you win, I'll drop the idea of asking." Pink clenched her fist and said strongly.

"What? What kind of ridiculous deal is that? You'll stop being a beggar if you lose? You're gonna have to make a better offer than that." Gan smiled and rubbed his chin with no hair.

'Damn it! I've never met such a jerk before!' Pink wished she could pummel Gan, but that would be a crime.

"Okay, I'll...let me check and see what I have." Pink carried a bag around her waist, she opened it to see if she had anything valuable on her.

"I-I don't have anything valuable on me right now. But I can get something valuable once I get home, I can give you something then." Pink's expression fell, she was just going out on a stroll and wasn't expecting this.

"Forget it, for now. I'm not stingy, really. I'll just give you some, so wait until it's done." Gan said. He just didn't like arrogant people, so he sought to annoy her, something he did often to people like that.

"W-what? Are you serious?" Pink was stunned. Why did he suddenly want to share now?

"It's plenty to go around. I won't be able to finish it all with just me and my buddies here. You can join too, and you call out some of your Pokemon as well." Gan started to pet Growlithe's head with a smile.

"Oh, okay." Pink believed she had won this bout. She believed that Gan realized how wrong he was and that he decided to share out of guilt.

Pink went over to take a seat without any courtesy—as if she owned the place. She took out a Pokeball and tossed it, revealing her Pokemon.

"Clefairy!" Clefairy emerged from it.

The ball she tossed was a Heal ball, but it was customized with a heart on it—just like that of a Love ball. After all, the Heal ball's coloration matched her color scheme from what Gan could see.

Gan looked over and analyzed her Clefairy closely.

Gan's eyes widen seeing this Clefairy, she clearly got it when it was a baby. Its talent was the highest he had seen besides those Dittos. This girl wasn't simple at all, the way she dressed, the way she acted, and her Pokemon.

"Huh? Is there something wrong?" Pink noticed the look in Gan's eyes.

"Nothing, I just didn't expect to see a Clefairy. I was expecting you to have 6 Rattata's on your team." Gan suddenly burst into laughter at the thought.

"R-Rattata? I would never use such a vile Pokemon, it isn't cute at all!" Gan was clearly mocking her as bright as day.

6 Ratattas! What a funny joke it was.

Gan was still laughing at the thought. There surely had to be someone running a full squad of Rattatas in this world, right? Perhaps one had evolved into a Raticate, maybe.

"Hmph!" Seeing that Gan was still laughing at her, she harrumphed and ignored him.

Gan wanted to refute her claim about Rattata not being cute by saying that it was. He believed it lost all of that when it evolved into a Raticate. He had run into a Raticate back then, and it wasn't friendly in the least. It had gone out of its way to attack Gan in the wild, it was a really deadly Pokemon in his book.

Geodude began to place the plates and bowls down with Machop for everyone to eat. Abra controlled a large gallon of water and pour some for everyone. Pink was amazed seeing all of his Pokemon performing so many tasks together.

Just when she was going to order her Clefairy to help, the timer went off.

"Oh, it's ready." Gan took a few gulps of his water before standing up and walking over toward the pot. Machop quickly removed the pot top before Gan was there, it looked eager to eat some.

Gan wasn't worried about it going bad or getting cold. Once he stored it into the void space, it would stay as it was when it entered. Gan wanted to summon more Pokemon, but it was best not to do that with her around.

"Alright everyone, come on over and get it. Machop, help the ones that don't have hands to carry a bowl or plate." Machop nodded.

"Clefairy, you to, help those in need." Pink grinned and also ordered with a nod.

Clefairy grabbed a plate and went over towards Gan, who poured her, Geodude, and Machop a bowl of stew. After which, they gave them to the Pokemon that didn't have arms to carry plates and bowls.

Grimer could carry bowls, but it was best to not have him touching you when he received something. This was mainly so when you were about to eat, it wouldn't be a good day if you got some of him inside of you. Forget having a bad day, it will end your day entirely, you won't see any more days!

Unfortunately, Grimer couldn't eat with them. Gan ordered it to eat in the shade. No matter what, it gave off a horrible smell. The grass was also dying everywhere it oozed across. The sun was just making the smell of it stand out. Pink was starting to catch a headache, she wondered why anyone would get such a Pokemon.

Grimer understood and wasn't upset about it, causing Gan relief.

Everyone was eventually served, including Gan and Pink.

"Wow! This is friggin good!" Gan's whole body shuddered. It was sweet and spicy at the same time, giving it its amazing flavor. All of his Pokemon looked as if stars had appeared in their eyes while taking bites.

Pink was no different, she put her hand on her cheek as she chewed. Her cheeks turned rosy with the first bite. Gan reached into the cooler and tossed Pink a can of strawberry juice. She reached out and caught it while thanking him.

He gazed over everyone with a smile before recalling a few of them.

"That was so good, not even my chef could..." Pink hurriedly covered her mouth before slowly gazing over at Gan. However, she found that he wasn't looking at her at all, causing her to sigh softly.

"Clefairy fairy..." Clefairy spun around dancing after eating her food, she was clearly rejoicing after eating such good food.

"Oh, you!" Pink smiled and took out a handkerchief to wipe Clefairy's face, which still had some sauce on it.

"Remember, pinky, you owe me one." Gan grinned as he sat back in his seat.

"Hey! You said to forget about it, didn't you?" Said Pink stunningly.

"Huh? I said forget about it for now. We can talk about what you owe me later, for now, so don't forget about it." Gan sat back and stretched in his chair.

Pink's eyes were twitching nonstop, just when she was seeing him in a better light, it all turned dark.

"Come to Pallet Town. I can get you what you need, what exactly do you want?" Pink was cursing Gan so much in her mind.

"Hmm, what do I want?" Gan's gaze landed on Pink's body, then he smiled.

"You perv, don't go too far. Don't get any crazy ideas in that corrupted shameless head of yours." Pink's expression changed dramatically, as she quickly covered her ċhėst.

"Huh? What are you thinking? How old are you anyway? I never could have imagined that kids these days had such filthy minds. The world is doomed, it's over for the younger generation. I just ate, please don't make me vomit." Gan's expression was filled with disgust when looking at Pink, but he was laughing inside.

"W-W-What? Y-you!" Pink's hand was shaking as she pointed at Gan with a red face. Indeed, Gan had never said anything about what he wanted, but his gaze caused her to ȧssume and conclude. For him to say that she had a filthy mind—really upset her. Pink had never faced someone so shameless and cunningly vulgar before.

"What do you want then?" Pink asked while grounding her teeth.

"I was wondering, can you get me an Egg Incubator? I want 2 of them if possible, so can you or what?"
