Chapter 15: Hunched over
Soon Hiss did not have the time to think about these questions, because the time to go to work in the morning was approaching, and there were more pedestrians on the streets, although it was still back to the south today, but at least there was no dense fog and cold waves, so some people gathered in front of Hiss's food truck to buy food.
And halfway through Hiss also hurriedly woke up the scared green onion duck, after the green onion duck didn't see Jun Shaqian's terrifying appearance, this was much more normal, which made Hiss a little crying and laughing, this little guy is really timid.
"Trainer trainer! Do you know? When that Miss Junsha came over just now, I thought she was a boy! Zoroa happily crouched beside Hiss and said with a smile.
"Oh? Why? Heath handed the pancake fruit to the guest, put away the money, and then asked a rhetorical question.
"Because I've watched a movie before, in which the male protagonist is in love with his duck-billed fire dragon, but he was discovered by a male friend, and the male friend threatened the male protagonist." Zoroa said mysteriously.
"Okay, you can shut up, I don't want to listen to the follow-up." Heath was spreading the pancakes, he had already guessed what Zoroa was going to say, and that male friend must have been a covetous duck-billed fire dragon and was planning to come to the trainer.
"Then, that male friend forced the male protagonist to change into a sailor suit and have sex with him~" Zoroya said proudly, Hiss was stunned for a moment, and almost didn't knock the egg on the head of the green onion duck.
Hiss gave Zoroa a strange look, what kind of strange things has this guy seen? Why would an author write such a strange thing! Although the human XP system is free, Heath felt that the author of that book would be better off seeing a doctor.
"When I find a super beast in the future, I will definitely let it clean your head, maybe it can wash out enough yellow paint for more than ten years for the students of the Academy of Fine Arts." Hiss rolled his eyes, this guy is really too perverted, and Hiss is very worried about whether his other Pokémon will be taught bad by this pervert of Zoroa in the future.
After the morning rush hour, Heath relaxed a little, and then he saw a hunchbacked old man approaching.
"Heath... Can you bring me a soft meal? When the old man raised his head, Hiss realized that the old man in front of him turned out to be the old man Ma Zhide.
Hiss was a little surprised, usually the old man Ma Zhide has always straightened his back, although he is old, but he is still such an iron-clad old man, but why is he suddenly hunchbacked?
"Soft meals? Okay, wait a minute..."Hiss nodded despite his confusion, and began to prepare the meal he wanted for Old Man Ma Zhide.
It's still the same, the rice cooked this morning is used to scrambled egg fried rice, plus the chicken thighs that have been marinated for a long time, except for the chicken thigh bones, the meat of other parts is already very soft, and after it is done, Hiss put it on a plate and intends to serve it to Mr. Ma Zhide.
As soon as he went out, Hiss felt a clammy and cold feeling, but in the next second, Hiss found that there was a small box on the table where the old man Ma Zhide was sitting, wrapped in a layer of black cloth.
Heath opened his mouth, and he had a bad feeling in his heart.
"Grandpa Ma Zhide, this is your fried rice with braised chicken legs... This is—" Hiss put it down gently, and the old man Ma Zhide raised his head slightly, his back was still bent, and his eyes were bloodshot, as if he had cried.
"Ah Fei is gone, Joey has tried his best, but Ah Pen's vitality has been lost too much, and it still hasn't survived this spring." Old man Ma Zhide lowered his head, covered the box in front of him with a pair of big hands, and stroked it slowly, his voice was also a little trembling.
Hiss fell silent, the worst thing happened, he accompanied Ma Zhide's grandfather to fight for a long time, and the Charizard who accompanied Ma Zhide, the Charizard who had aged enough to eat soft food, was still gone.
Although he knew early on that Charizard's condition was very bad, Heath still sincerely hoped that Charizard could spend more time with his trainer, enjoy his old age in peace, and enjoy this beautiful day, this rare peaceful day.
Heath looked at the box, that box should be Charizard's urn, in the world of Pokémon, dead Pokémon are generally cremated, burned into ashes and buried according to the situation.
In fact, there are Pokémon cemeteries in Evergreen City, and every town basically has them, and Heath heard Ash talk about the cemetery in Zhenxin Town, where some Pokémon are buried, but most people will choose to take the Pokémon's urn home and place it.
And the alliance also has a special cemetery for the situation of Mr. Ma Zhide.
"I... Hiss.. I was going to take Ah Peng to Ziyuan Town, and when he and I were on a mission, Ah Peng was seriously injured and dying, and he said that if he died, he wanted to be buried in that tower in Ziyuan Town. Old man Ma Zhide lowered his head, his back bent, as if he had aged by more than ten years overnight.
Hiss looked at this old man in his twilight, when Charizard was still by the side of the old man Ma Zhide, Ma Zhide was still a strong, iron-clad old man, even though he was old and had countless dark injuries on his body, he still straightened his waist and walked on the road of Evergreen City, but...
And in the heart of the old man Ma Zhide, Ah Peng is no longer a Pokémon, but a family that accompanies the old man.
"Such a big one... How.. In the end, it became so small..."Ma Zhide trembled his hands, stroking the box in front of him, his body was constantly trembling, Hiss tried to open his eyes wide, but his vision was still blurred.
"Grandpa Ma Zhide, I'll help you put it in the box." Hiss whispered, and then walked back to the dining car, put the egg fried rice and chicken thighs that had been made long ago, and put them in the takeaway box, and worked hard to close the lid.
Zoroa, the green onion duck, and the little fire dragon all stood quietly in the dining car, and the emotional Zoroa was lying on his stomach in the lounge crying, and Hiss could hear Zoroa's suppressed cry.
After taking this meal to the old man Ma Zhide, the old man Ma Zhide trembled and left with the urn of the fire-breathing dragon, and Hiss looked at the hunched Ma Zhide and knew that this old man who was once iron-clad might never straighten his waist again.
