Pokémon: Dreams Come True Starting in Sinnoh

Chapter 492 Carlos's Traveller, Seafood Stew at Night

It was already evening of the second day after the grand celebration ended.

Night falls early.

The snowflakes, which had been gradually stopping, began to fall stubbornly again.

Fortunately, the snowfall remained within a suitable range except on the day of the major festival.

The flight to Chefven was not delayed.

The plane from the Carlos region landed slowly.

The cabin rises, the escalator descends.

As soon as Serena stepped out of the warm cabin, she couldn't help but shiver, hugging herself and then covering her mouth with her hands, which had instantly turned icy cold, exhaling warm breath.

This place is completely different from Asaka Town.

In the ever-spring-like town of Asaka, Serena had never experienced such cold. She was a homebody and had never traveled to Snowdrift City, except for a trip to Miare City. So, seeing the snow falling in the dark for the first time captivated her for a moment.

Just like the scenes I saw in TV dramas.

Serena couldn't help but compare the scene before her with the snow country she remembered, and it did feel somewhat novel.

It was as if I had seen in person the real-life prototype of those picturesque towns from the fairy tale picture books I had read since childhood.

"Idiot, I told you to wear a coat before you get off the plane! Don't get sick so soon after you start your trip!"

Sakiko followed closely behind Serena. When she saw her daughter standing there blankly, shivering from the cold, gazing at the distant view where there was nothing but the lights of the machine tracks on both sides, Sakiko sighed and draped the cotton-padded coat she was holding over Serena.

"I didn't expect it to be this cold."

The first time I traveled far from home, I went straight to the Sinnoh region, which is quite far from the Carlos region.

Perhaps out of curiosity about the unfamiliar region and city, Serena kept taking in everything around her, and even as she boarded the bus from the airport to the city center, she was still looking out the window.

It wasn't until the bus entered the city that Serena finally came to her senses and exclaimed, "It feels so deserted."

"Of course it's deserted," Sakiko said irritably. "On such a cold, snowy day, and at night, who in their right mind would go out for a stroll?"

Looking at her daughter's face, which seemed to have just realized something.

Sakiko couldn't help but cover her face.

This daughter has been ruined by her own upbringing.

Ok?

No, that's not right.

So, the problem is that she spoiled him?

Isn't this just a disguised way of criticizing oneself?

Sakiko became increasingly frustrated, so she simply closed her eyes, lay down on the chair, and took a nap.

Serena looked at her reflection in the window, intending to answer that this wasn't what she wanted to say.

But after thinking about it, Serena kept these words to herself and didn't say them aloud.

What she wanted to say was that the grand celebration had just ended yesterday, so why was there no one here today?

Serena also knew that many of the audience members of the large-scale festival were residents from the southern part of the Sinnoh region, so the residents of Chefton City were naturally not surprised by the snowy scenery and would not come out.

But tourists like myself who haven't seen much snow shouldn't be afraid of the cold at night, right?

......

The bus slowly drove into the city center of Chefon.

Sakiko's booked hotel was right next to the parking spot.

If you happen to be there during a major celebration, this hotel's location is unparalleled, being only about 200 meters from the event venue, meaning you can basically walk right out of the door and into the celebration area.

However, with the grand celebration now over, the hotel felt rather deserted.

After putting their luggage away at the hotel, Sakiko took Serena out to explore the city of Kirifu.

They're just stopping here for the day, since they need to catch the train to Lily of the Valley early tomorrow morning.

and.

"Let's go get some dinner first. I haven't eaten much on the way here, I'm starving."

Flying all the way from the Carlos region, and with the airplane food being so-so, Sakiko felt she was going to faint on the train tomorrow if she didn't eat something to replenish her energy.

Serena was no longer sleepy when it came to going to a restaurant.

She suddenly changed her tired appearance and quickly took out a booklet from her backpack.

"Clang clang~!"

Serena's eyes lit up as she showed Sakiko a page from the magazine.

"Let's eat here! This restaurant has great reviews in Chefton City! Besides the most authentic Sinnoh local cuisine, it seems they also have authentic Kalos region dishes!"

"The first sentence is fine, but the second sentence is unnecessary," Sakiko retorted. "Did you come to the Sinnoh region just to eat Kalos cuisine?"

"Give it a try! Maybe there will be some local innovation!"

Sakiko: "..."

......

"Welcome, are you two guests? This way please."

Sakiko and Serena were seated in the lobby by the waiter.

Serena looked excitedly at the various dishes on the menu, hesitating about what to eat for dinner.

She and Sakiko together can't eat that much, so they have to choose the right dish from all the different options!

This will really test her eyesight!

Sakiko glanced at the menu and ordered a simple plate of fried noodles and a special meat platter for herself.

Seeing that Serena couldn't make a decision for a long time, Sakiko couldn't help but say, "If you can't decide in such a long time, then order a simple side dish, or do what I do."

"Wait! Let me choose carefully!"

Serena quickly interrupted Sakiko's suggestion.

"If you can't decide, how about trying one of our local specialties?"

"Specialty dishes? What are they?" Serena looked up from the menu and asked.

"This is a hidden menu item here, and many locals love it," the waiter explained. "However, this dish isn't original to our restaurant; it's from the Carlos region and is called seafood stew. Would you like to try it? It's very popular right now."

"what--"

I thought it was some special dish, but it turns out it's just a common dish from the Carlos region.

disappointment.

Seeing Serena's disappointment, Sakiko couldn't help but smile and said, "No need for that, since we came from the Carlos region."

"Oh! I'm so sorry," the waiter said apologetically.

"I didn't expect you two to come all the way from so far away. After the grand celebration, photos of the grand celebration champion, Ms. Hikari, and her friends dining at our restaurant were circulated, so many customers came specifically to try the same dishes. Among them, the seafood stew is the best-selling dish because it comes from the Carlos region, so I recommended it to you two."

Nothing.

Sakiko was about to speak when Serena, who had seemed somewhat disappointed just a moment ago, suddenly looked up and asked, "Photographs?"

"Yes, that's the one."

The waiter pointed to a framed photo hanging on the side wall of the lobby.

The above content is exactly what Xiaosong photographed when everyone was raising their glasses.

Among the crowd, Serena spotted that familiar figure at a glance.

"One seafood stew, please."

Waiter & Sakiko: "???"
