"This Hitmonlee is a contracted Pokémon of our company. Have your team help find the person who rented him. Who knows where that unlucky customer is right now."
"Hitmon." (Thank you.)
While the Continental Hotel staff prepared to search for the unlucky customer, Ash looked at Bruno, who seemed like he wanted to ask something, and said, "It's almost mealtime. Do you want to eat together?"
"That sounds great. Actually, I have some things I want to ask you too." Bruno didn't stand on ceremony. After all, he really did have a favor to ask of Ash.
Inside the Continental Hotel, Misty and Suzie stared blankly as Bruno rapidly cleared the food on the table. Ash, while instructing the waiters to bring more dishes, explained, "This is normal. Bruno is a martial artist, after all, so his demand for food is quite large."
Suzie looked at the pile of empty plates next to Bruno and said speechlessly, "Even so, he sure can eat. I don't recall us eating this much when we were physically training, right?"
"Hahaha, sorry, sorry. I forgot to eat when I came to participate in the tournament. So I'm a bit hungry."
"It's fine. So, Bruno, what did you want to see me about? If it's about the original moves, it's not that I'm unwilling to teach you, but without specific methods, you can't achieve." Ash quietly pushed some plates toward Misty, Suzie, and Brock while casually asking.
Bruno understood and replied, "Although I really do want to know, I understand the value of original moves. What I truly need your help with concerns my Machoke. Machoke, come here for a second!"
"Machoke?"
Machoke, who was chatting and eating with Ash's Primeape, walked over in confusion. Bruno put his hand on his Machoke's shoulder and said, "Actually, I heard you have medicine here that can heal hidden injuries. This old buddy of mine hasn't been able to evolve because of hidden injuries. And because of that, his Elite Four-level strength has always been unstable... so I wanted to see if I could buy some for him to use."
Ash put down his chopsticks, walked up, and began to feel Machoke's body. Machoke cooperated and stayed still.
"Hmm? It's true, there are quite a few hidden injuries. I was wondering why the seal time for Depth 9 was extended earlier. Turns out it was because of these hidden injuries."
After confirming Machoke's condition, Ash returned to his seat and said, "I can treat his condition."
"Oh, oh, oh! Then..."
"But... I'll have to make a fresh batch right now, so let's eat first."
Hearing "But," Bruno and Machoke's hearts skipped a beat. However, upon hearing that Ash just needed to make it fresh, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief. "You scared me to death. I thought it was something serious... But how do you expect us to have an appetite to eat now after hearing that?"
"As long as we have an appetite, it's fine! Come on, Misty, Suzie, eat more. Don't worry about your figures... Traveling is hard work, so you can't mistreat your stomachs." Giving Bruno a 'you deserve to be single' look, Ash started putting food into Misty and Suzie's bowls. As for Brock? Men don't need help!
"Sigh, to be honest, making medicine pills is very troublesome, and it needs to be tailored to the Pokémon's typing. Come here, Suzie, you and Misty help me sort the medicinal herbs. Brock, have Geodude help you mash the sorted herbs. It's best if Geodude uses its fists."
Misty looked at the pile of herbs arranged on the table, feeling a bit dazzled... Suzie smiled and said, "Misty, you just need to pick out one specific type, for example, this one."
Saying that, Suzie picked out a specific herb. Misty said gratefully, "Thanks, then I'll pick this kind."
Watching Ash and the others work, Bruno felt embarrassed just standing there doing nothing, so he asked Ash, "Um, do you need my help?"
"Then go help Brock mash the herbs. Don't bother me right now, can't you see this is delicate work?" Ash didn't take his eyes off the tools in his hands while speaking, not even daring to blink.
Rebuked by Ash like this, Bruno sheepishly went to help. As for Ash's attitude? Please, he was concocting medicine for Machoke. Bruno wished Ash would be even more serious. However, watching Ash painstakingly pour medicinal powder little by little onto what Ash called a scale, Bruno felt a bit speechless.
"Does making medicine require being so precise?"
Seeing Bruno's confusion, Suzie couldn't help but explain, "This is actually just Ash's habit. Normally, when mixing medicine, getting it 'close enough' is fine, but Ash always strives for the absolute best. So he's much more meticulous."
"I see."
