Chapter 305 Dr. Uchiki, the domestic idiot, and the decision left by Kogoro.
The three little ones are named Da Nan, Zhong Nan, and Xiao Nan. You can tell from their appearance that they are three sisters. However, the casualness with which they chose their names exceeded Xiao Zhi and his friends' expectations. Who would name their children like that?
Soon, led by the three little ones, the group arrived at the backyard of the Uchiki Research Institute and met Dr. Uchiki.
At their first meeting, Professor Nino was wearing a one-piece swimsuit and playing with a fierce-looking Gyarados in the bay. The moment Misty saw Gyarados, she took a step back and huddled behind Ash, tugging at Ash's sleeve with her little hand.
Ash glanced at Misty in surprise. Was Misty afraid of Gyarados?
Misty, who has always loved Water-type Pokémon, actually has a Water-type Pokémon she's afraid of? Ash's thoughts raced as he instinctively stepped in front of Misty, looking at the Gyarados ahead.
It has to be said that Gyarados does look very fierce. For a little girl, just seeing its appearance and getting close would probably scare her to tears. However, given Xiaoxia's personality, it's unlikely that she's simply afraid of Gyarados's appearance; there might be other reasons.
"Hello Professor Oak, I'm Ash from Pallet Town. These are Brock from Pewter City and Misty from Cerulean City. We're here today on Professor Oak's behalf to bring you the GS Ball." Ash didn't beat around the bush and directly told Professor Oak the purpose of his visit.
Dr. Uchiki leaped off Gyarados, her fair thighs and lotus-root-like arms reflecting a dazzling light in the sunlight.
When Dr. Uchiki landed lightly on the ground, Da Nan rushed to his side and handed him the white lab coat that had been prepared beforehand. Dr. Uchiki then put on the white lab coat while wearing his swimsuit.
Xiao Gang, who was already completely captivated, almost had his eyes pop out when he saw this scene. The combination of wet and sexy, a one-piece swimsuit, a uniform, and a voluptuous older woman—if he didn't react, he wouldn't be Xiao Gang!
"Wow—what a beautiful older sister! So Dr. Uchiki is such a beautiful woman?!" Before coming here, Xiao Gang had no idea that Dr. Uchiki was actually a woman, and a mature and beautiful older sister at that. She was a perfect fit for Xiao Gang's ego!
"You're Ash? I've heard of you. Fifteen years old, you traveled for half a year, defeated the Elite Four candidates, and became the champion of the Indigo League. In just half a year, you accomplished what most trainers could not do in their entire lives. You are the future star of Kanto." Professor Ubisoft's long list of titles left Ash completely bewildered.
So he already has so many titles? But actually, none of these titles are as impressive as the title of "Champion." However, even Ash felt a little embarrassed when someone revealed so many titles to him after meeting him.
"No—it's not that bad."
"Let's go, you guys go back to the research institute first, I'm going to change my clothes."
Ten minutes later, Dr. Uchiki emerged from the back door wearing a light orange dress, still draped in her white lab coat. Even in the lab coat, she couldn't conceal her voluptuous figure.
"Ash, where's the GS Ball?"
"Here it is." Ash took the GS Ball out of his inventory and handed it to Professor Wood. Professor Wood took it and went straight to the computer in the lab. He then placed the Poké Ball on a device, frantically typed on the keyboard, and finally pressed Enter.
A progress bar appeared on the computer screen, and only then did Professor Uchiki speak: "This is the Poké Ball analysis device. It can analyze the Poké Ball's structure, the materials used in its manufacture, and its function, etc."
"Actually, Professor Oak is better at researching Poké Balls, but he doesn't have the special equipment, or rather, only my team has this equipment, and there's only one in the entire league."
"This instrument is usually kept at the Alliance headquarters, but I borrowed it for a while recently because I had some business to attend to."
Upon hearing this, Ash and the others had an expression of sudden realization. No wonder Professor Oak wanted them to bring the GS Ball here; it turned out there was a reason for this machine.
"The analysis will take a while. Let's go have some tea first. Have you had lunch yet? If not, grab something here." Dr. Uchiki said, striding his long legs toward the entrance of the research institute.
Xiao Zhi and the others glanced at the time and realized it was almost one o'clock. They didn't feel hungry at all. Although they had eaten a lot of porridge in the morning, porridge is something that is digested very quickly.
The hunger pangs came on faster than with regular food, but they didn't feel anything, probably because it was a glowing dish.
After eating Ash's glowing food, Brock and Misty didn't really want to eat anything else. However, since Professor Ubisoft had invited them, it wouldn't be good to refuse, so the three of them followed Professor Ubisoft to the lab's dining room.
However, when they arrived at the restaurant, Ash and his friends were stunned. Those who knew would think it was a restaurant, but those who didn't would think it was a garbage dump!
The sink was piled high with unwashed basins, there were nearly ten bundled garbage bags on the floor, and a lot of clothes were also lying on the ground. There were also several empty buckets of instant noodles on the dining table. It looked exactly like a garbage dump!
Dr. Uchiki gave an embarrassed smile, then said somewhat apologetically, "Um, it's a bit messy here, please don't mind. Minami, go get six packs of instant noodles. By the way, would you like them spicy or not?"
Xiao Zhi and his two friends: ————
No, ma'am, are you treating us to instant noodles? While it's certainly unreasonable for a guest to have such an idea, treating someone to instant noodles is a bit outrageous, isn't it?
Ash and Brock exchanged a glance, and the latter asked Professor Ulki, "Professor Ulki, do you have any ingredients here?"
"Um—yes, there is, but it's just a little pork and vegetables. There are also a few fish, but we don't know how to cook them. We usually hire a housekeeper to cook them, about once a week." Dr. Uchiki gently ran her fingers across her cheek, seemingly quite embarrassed by her behavior.
As an adult, her behavior is like that of someone who cannot take care of themselves. If others saw this, it would be understandable that they would look down on her.
Ash and his friends probably think she's useless and unreliable—just as Professor Urouge was thinking this, the three of them took off their coats, rolled up their long sleeves, and started working.
Even Xiaoxia, the girl in the trio, is quite adept at housework due to her long-term travels, living at Xiaozhi's house, and the experience of taking care of her three older sisters as the youngest.
Needless to say, Xiaozhi and Xiaogang are even better. One of them has been constantly improving his housekeeping skills since the trip, while the other is born with maxed-out housekeeping skills. Let alone this level of mess, even if it were a real garbage dump, the three of them would make it neat and clean for you to see!
As the trio moved like butterflies, the trash in the dining room was rapidly decreasing and becoming clean and tidy. In just ten minutes, the dining room, which had looked like a garbage dump, became spotless!
Dr. Uchiki and the three children covered their mouths in surprise, seemingly not expecting that these three seemingly young boys and girls could be so capable!
"Wow! That's amazing! Ash, Misty, Brock! How did you guys learn such skills!"
"It's simply a miracle!" The three of them cleaned up even faster and more thoroughly than the housekeeper Dr. Uchiki hired!
In just ten minutes, the place was completely transformed; the scene of being piled with garbage just now seemed like an illusion.
After cleaning up, Xiaozhi and Xiaogang didn't stop. One of them went to find ingredients, while the other heated oil in a wok. Xiaozhi scooped a crucian carp out of the sink, then picked up a cleaver. With a flash of light, the nearly one-meter-long crucian carp was instantly silenced.
Then Ash gently pulled on the fish's tail, and the entire fish bone came off the fish's body, looking as if it had been gnawed clean. If you didn't see it with your own eyes, no one would believe that it was taken from a freshly killed fish.
"Clap clap clap clap!!!" Dr. Uchiki and the three little ones clapped in disbelief, while Xiaoxia, who was resting nearby, also showed a proud look on her face—this is my boyfriend!
Whether it's combat or domestic affairs, he's top-notch. Apart from having a slightly low emotional intelligence, he's practically the perfect boyfriend!
Xiao Zhi cut the fish into pieces and handed them to Xiao Gang, who immediately stir-fried them over high heat. Then Xiao Zhi went to the refrigerator and took out pork and vegetables. In just ten minutes, the two dishes were ready.
Spicy crucian carp, stir-fried pork with garlic sprouts.
While we were cleaning up, Xiaoxia had already started cooking the rice; it should be ready in about five more minutes.
Since Ash didn't cook the entire meal, the food didn't shine brightly. However, judging from the subtle luster emanating from the food and the aroma wafting out, Brock was certain that this dish he made was definitely better than any he had ever made before!
Because Xiaozhi prepared all the ingredients, chili sauce, and salt, Xiaogang, although he was the one cooking, felt like he was following Xiaozhi's lead.
After cooking this meal, Xiao Gang felt that his culinary skills, which he thought had reached the top level, had improved significantly.
Professor Ubisoft and the others standing to the side were completely dumbfounded. In their eyes, Brock and Ash were like magicians, producing two dishes in no time. Moreover, judging from the smell alone, these two dishes were thousands of times better than what the housekeeper made!
How do they manage to have such strong housework skills at such a young age?
Especially Ash, who is so talented in Pokémon battles, becoming the Indigo League champion in just half a year, and is also so good at housework and cooking. Did he start learning these things in the womb?
"Dinner's ready, Professor Ulki. Go wash your hands," Ash and Brock said with smiles as they took off their aprons.
"Oh, oh! Da Nan, Zhong Nan, Xiao Nan, go wash your hands."
After the meal, the four of them were completely captivated. They had been eating instant noodles almost 90% of the time, and even when they occasionally had a meat meal, it was just ordinary home-cooked food. Today, they felt like they were eating a state banquet!
These were just two ordinary-looking dishes, but eating them gave me a tingling and burning sensation all over my body. If you didn't know better, you might think there was something drugged in them!
After eating, Dr. Uchiki could clearly feel that his body felt much lighter. The fatigue that had been building up inside him was released the moment he ate. Was this food with therapeutic effects?
"Ha~ I'm full. You two are really amazing. I'm so envious that you have these two companions with you on your trip, Xia." Dr. Uchiki put down his chopsticks, let out a satisfied yawn, and said to Xia with some envy.
At this moment, Xiao Gang suddenly stood up and, stammering, said loudly to Dr. Uchiki, "No—if you don't mind, please let me stay and take care of you! I'm really worried about your lifestyle!"
Xiaozhi & Xiaoxia: ————
Although Xiao Gang has always been very brave with older women, falling in love with every one he meets, this seems to be the first time he's been this serious. He even wants to leave their trio because of it. Could it be that Xiao Gang has really fallen in love?
Upon hearing this, Professor Uchigi's pretty face showed surprise: "Is that alright? But weren't you supposed to be going on a trip? And after the GS Ball is analyzed, you'll probably have to send it back to Professor Oak. Is it really okay for you to stay?"
To be honest, Dr. Uchiki was also very tempted. After eating this meal, she would probably find it hard to swallow instant noodles again.
Professor Ubisoft had a good initial impression of Brock. Although he was a bit of a jerk, it didn't matter compared to his good points. The main problem now was that Brock was a member of Ash's trio. If she agreed to help him, it felt like she was trying to steal him away.
"It's alright. Misty and Ash can handle delivering the Poké Balls. As for the trip, my departure is actually perfect. Professor Ulrich, you probably don't know, but those two are a couple. I'd just be a complete third wheel in this team, so there's absolutely no problem with me staying here to take care of you!"
"They have no shame at all!" Xiaoxia and Xiaozhi secretly rolled their eyes. So what if they're lecherous? What do you mean by being a third wheel in the team? They've done that before!
However, out of concern for Xiaogang's lifelong happiness, the two did not expose Xiaogang's statement, but instead turned their attention to Dr. Uchiki and let Dr. Uchiki make the decision.
Dr. Uchiki hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded and smiled, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Gang."
Hi! Please take care of me from now on!
