"Hello everyone, today we're doing a dessert tutorial—Corn Tart."
In the dimly lit room, the computer screen illuminated a man sitting in an armchair.
The man was dressed in a brown suit, his broad right hand gently stroking a Persian that was licking its paws.
"Please note, this is not a custard tart with a piece of corn on top."
Immediately after, the video featured a deadly ASMR.
Crispy Napoleon pastry that crumbled with a light squeeze, a cross-section cut with a single slice revealing rich filling...
Li Wei's narration resumed in the video.
Bullet comments continuously scrolled by.
"How does this man know everything?"
"Even making desserts, he's a natural!"
"Freshly baked!"
The middle-aged man with slicked-back hair curved his lips into a smile.
"What an interesting young man."
Just like the bullet comments from users on Eevee Net, the man also felt that Li Wei seemed to know everything.
Listing the Trainer employment guides Li Wei had published on his account:
Energy Cube, Poffin, hair care, essential oil treatments… and various gourmet foods, he knew too much.
This was also what Sakaki recognized.
The man stroking the Persian in the dimly lit room—was none other than Sakaki of the Earth.
Even in battles, Li Wei could hold his own against Elite Four Siebold of the Kalos region.
Even when facing Lance's fierce offensive, Li Wei could contend with him.
It was simple for Sakaki to notice Li Wei; it started from the first time Red appeared in the comment section.
This made Boss Sakaki, who constantly paid attention to Red, also notice this interesting young man.
Ever since he was severely injured saving Silver from a fire and then healed by Celebi, Sakaki felt he could wield a blade again.
The last young man who piqued Sakaki's interest has now grown into the pinnacle of admiration for all Trainers—Red of Mt. Silver!
Recalling it now, it was back during the last time...
Shortly after the video began playing, there was a knock on the door.
"Enter."
The sound of high heels clacking echoed.
Opposite him was Matori, whom Jessie and James had nicknamed "Watermelon-Eyed Girl."
Matori, with a purple hime cut bob, wore an OL uniform and slightly adjusted her round-rimmed glasses.
"Your subordinate has sent his information to your email. Additionally, Matori Matrix has noticed that the Alliance's protection of him is very high."
Team Rockets' main areas of activity are Kanto, Johto, and the Sevii Islands.
Even now, although Sakaki has retreated behind the scenes,
Team Rockets has not completely disappeared; they operate companies while searching for Sakaki.
Team Rockets Company is a large, multi-regional listed company that provides comprehensive social welfare to its employees, and it's not just those Team Rockets members who travel around.
From an employment perspective,
Team Rockets is actually quite good.
Considering that Team Rockets was leaderless after Sakaki went into seclusion,
a large enterprise cannot simply collapse; that would cause very significant employment problems.
If so many people were to be collectively unemployed, it might just lead to a song— "Kill That Kanto Person."
The Alliance did not disclose the issue of Team Rockets' boss, Sakaki, allowing Team Rockets to operate normally.
Of course, illegal capture of Pokemon is not allowed; those who commit it will still be arrested.
Currently, Team Rockets is mainly responsible for logistics and transportation, and Rocket Logistics has a very strong reputation in the Kanto region.
Of course, Sakaki's whereabouts are still being searched for as usual.
Boss Sakaki, having recovered from his injuries, has returned to Team Rockets, but he has yet to make his next move.
The Matori Matrix is an Elite unit directly under Matori, excelling in everything from infiltration to investigation.
Its main members include Elite members such as Nishi, Mondo, and Gottsu.
"Understood, no matter."
In the past, Sakaki's goal was to make money and capture powerful and rare Pokemon to conquer the world.
But now, besides making money,
Sakaki has a new goal.
...
Li Wei did not know that he had already caught the eye of Sakaki of the Earth.
Li Wei, who had just released the latest Trainer Employment Guide, took the Lycanroc, which was currently on a weight-loss regimen, onto the scale.
Weighing Pokemon is much simpler than weighing pets.
"Go on." Li Wei pointed, and Lycanroc walked onto it by itself.
Lycanroc's weight loss efforts were beginning to show, visibly slimming down.
"64.6 kg, very good, come down."
Li Wei took a picture of the latest weight and a photo of Lycanroc, sending them to its Trainer.
Through swimming and Li Wei's specially customized diet, Lycanroc had already lost nearly 11 catties, but it was still far from Lycanroc's standard weight of 25KG.
Li Wei estimated Lycanroc's weight loss plan would take at least three to six months.
For the first three months, swimming and the diet would be used to reduce its weight at a faster pace.
Later, as the weather turned colder, Lycanroc's weight would likely reach a plateau, and weight loss would have to be slow.
Lycanroc was very cooperative.
Because such a weight was very detrimental to it and would also affect its lifespan.
Lycanroc couldn't even perform the simplest running, and prolonged obesity would be a huge blow to its confidence.
"You've worked very hard, keep it up!"
Li Wei is currently diligently studying child psychology...
To some extent, raising Pokemon is not much different from raising children.
Children all need encouragement.
With encouragement, children have greater motivation to continue striving.
"Woof!"
Lycanroc narrowed its eyes and wagged its tail, extending its wet tongue to lick Li Wei's palm.
"Come on, let's go swimming again."
Swimming puts less strain on Lycanroc's knees and is very cool, and Lycanroc also enjoys it.
However, after every swim, Li Wei has to blow-dry Lycanroc's fur, which is quite troublesome.
Li Wei entrusted the important task of supervising Lycanroc's swimming to Rookidee...
The heavy responsibility suddenly fell upon it.
Li Wei has recently entered a learning phase again, but he's not aimless.
He and his dad have recently been learning cooking from his grandpa.
After all, the Pokemon Restaurant is opening early next year.
Developing new menus and improving their culinary skills are all things they need to do.
If they don't do it, then so be it. But if they do, they must do it best.
This is his grandpa's motto in life.
This is also why his grandpa didn't agree to Comrade Leon opening a Pokemon Restaurant before.
Now, Comrade Leon's cooking skills have barely received his grandpa's approval, and Li Wei is even better than his dad.
Now, among the three, Li Wei is no longer the worst cook.
His dad only slightly surpasses Li Wei when it comes to making the sweet version of Kung Pao Chicken.
But when it comes to the variety of dishes he can make, and the mastery of cooking time and seasoning, he's not as good as Li Wei.
His dad's talent in cooking, in his grandpa's eyes, is above average.
And Li Wei has both talent and a cheat…
Watching Li Wei tie his apron and wash his hands, his grandpa, who was urging his son in the back kitchen, nodded.
"Keep practicing."
Li Wei was still practicing oil-bottomed sugar crystallization, diligently researching Candied Sweet Potato.
