**Chapter 89: Adorable Machoke, The Novice Driver**

Chapter 89: Cute Machamp, The Novice Driver

After returning Home, Bai Feng gathered all the Pokémon and formally introduced Hatterene to them.

Facing so many unfamiliar Pokémon, Hatterene felt a bit uncomfortable. It awkwardly used its hair to cover the scar on its face, very worried that everyone would mock it because of it.

Bai Feng saw its worry, so he patted Hatterene's shoulder and said, "Hatterene, everyone won't dislike you, don't worry."

Perhaps Bai Feng's gaze was too sincere, Hatterene unconsciously lowered the hair it was holding.

It looked at the Pokémon in front of it. Everyone was looking at it with excited faces, without a hint of dislike or strangeness, truly welcoming it.

Actually, the reason everyone was so happy wasn't just because they were welcoming Hatterene; it was also because with a new member joining, they could enjoy Rejuvenation again today.

This was truly a beautiful misunderstanding.

However, it was precisely because of this misunderstanding that Hatterene dispelled its initial fear of the new environment and laid a solid foundation for it to get along well with everyone in the future.

After everyone got to know each other, Bai Feng began to take Hatterene to familiarize it with its future work.

He first took Hatterene to Home.

"Your current job is to be responsible for the housework in this Home. Buneary used to do it, but now that Buneary isn't Home, I'll have to trouble you.

Buneary is also an Employee of the Home. I'll introduce you when it comes back. It's a very cute little fellow."

"Rim~"

Hatterene nodded.

"When Buneary comes back, you'll be responsible for the cleaning work at the Staff Dormitory. I'll take you to see the Staff Dormitory later," Bai Feng continued.

Then Bai Feng arranged a separate Room for Hatterene at Home. Since it would be responsible for the housework at Home, it was more convenient to live directly at Home. Living at the Staff Dormitory would require traveling back and forth.

Hatterene was surprised that it actually had its own separate Room. In the Shelter, it had always been squeezed into a Room with many Pokémon. This was the first time it had its own Room.

Looking at the beautiful furnishings and complete living essentials in the Room, Hatterene suddenly felt like something was about to burst forth from its heart.

Seeing Hatterene lost in thought, Bai Feng said again, "This Room was specially prepared for you by Bai Ye two days ago. If you're not satisfied with anything, just tell it directly.

You remember Bai Ye, right? That Gardevoir, who is also my Mother. It can handle anything related to Home."

Hatterene nodded upon hearing this, indicating that it understood.

Under Bai Feng's introduction, Hatterene began to understand everything on Fangxing Mountain little by little, and also learned about the Benefits of working here.

The Benefits were simply beyond its imagination.

The Welfare that Hatterene knew about was only what was on the surface. When it learned about the various hidden Welfare of working here, it would only be more surprised.

In the evening, Hatterene actually took the initiative to offer to help Bai Feng prepare dinner, which surprised Bai Feng.

Hatterene could actually cook?

Only after asking did Bai Feng learn that while Hatterene was taking care of other Pokémon in the Shelter, it also took care of the Caretaker Uncle there. Hatterene basically made the Manager's three meals a day.

However, Hatterene said its culinary skills were self-taught and might not be very good, so it told Bai Feng to be prepared.

However, the truth was, Hatterene was truly too Humble. Its culinary skills were indeed not as good as professional chefs, but they were completely sufficient for cooking for the family members normally. Bai Feng's culinary skills, which couldn't be shown to others, couldn't compare to it at all.

The dietary habits in the Kalos Region were still very different from Bai Feng's previous life, so most of the time, Bai Feng would cook for himself. Although the taste wasn't great, he was used to eating it.

While cooking tonight, Bai Feng tried to relay the recipes he knew to Hatterene, and then let Hatterene take charge of the cooking. Unexpectedly, the final result was delightful.

Tasting that familiar flavor, Bai Feng was almost moved to tears.

The Pokémon truly experienced the charm of the food from Bai Feng's previous life at this moment. They used to think Bai Feng's cooking was delicious just because the dishes were novel, but the taste was actually quite ordinary.

Hatterene truly brought out the charm of these delicious food.

For a moment, everyone looked at Bai Feng with a slightly strange gaze, thinking, "How could you be so bad?"

However, human food was just a taste adjustment for the Pokémon. Their main source of obtaining energy still had to be Pokéblock.

The Pokéblock that Mr. Bryan helped Bai Feng make had already been delivered, and the Pokémon had eaten it. The effect was very good; their speed of accumulating energy was much faster than when they ate the previous Pokéblock.

Especially Larvitar, Bai Feng clearly felt that its complexion had improved recently, and it had become more energetic. It even had more vigor for training.

As for Hatterene, it was eating Pokéblock for the first time, not to mention it was high-grade Pokéblock made from Grade A Berries. The feeling of energy surging throughout its body was truly wonderful.

Only Pokémon food made from Grade A Berries could make Pokémon feel a noticeable surge of energy.

After eating the Pokéblock, Hatterene couldn't help but exclaim that life on Fangxing Mountain was truly too luxurious!

The last activity of the day was naturally Rejuvenation. When Bai Feng announced this news, the Pokémon immediately cheered and jumped for joy.

The "ignorant" Hatterene looked bewildered by everyone's sudden excited reaction.

Rejuvenation? What is that?

Tonight was another wonderful night!

With Hatterene's help, Home immediately became different, as if the air was a bit fresher.

Hatterene got up early in the morning to get busy. By the time Bai Feng woke up, it had not only prepared breakfast but also cleaned the entire Home, inside and out.

Looking at the bright and clean Home like this, Bai Feng's mood improved significantly. He hadn't felt much when Buneary was here before, but after Buneary was gone, he realized how important Buneary's presence was.

When he came back from School in the afternoon, Dongyu suddenly called, saying there was a problem with a fruit merchant and they wanted to temporarily add an order for a batch of Berries.

Because it was urgent, Bai Feng had to tell the Pokémon to quickly pick the Berries.

That fruit merchant was also unreliable. After Bai Feng and the others hurriedly finished picking the fruit, the truck coming to transport the goods had problems on the road again and didn't arrive to take the Berries away until very late.

Bai Feng's head hurt from dealing with them.

At this point, he suddenly thought, shouldn't he buy a vehicle here? A truck. If he had a truck, when the fruit merchant's truck broke down on the road, he could directly deliver the fruit himself and wouldn't have to worry about delays.

But if he bought a vehicle, who would drive it? He couldn't possibly drive it himself, right? Not to mention he wasn't old enough to get a Driver's License, even with his short legs, he couldn't even reach the brake pedal. It was completely useless!

Bai Feng was quite troubled by this.

The next day, after Bai Feng discussed this matter with the Pokémon, Machamp actually suggested that it wanted to learn how to get a Driver's License.

??? Pokémon can also get a Driver's License?

Bai Feng had never heard of this before. He checked online and never expected that Pokémon could actually get a Driver's License.

However, for a Pokémon to get a Driver's License, there were two prerequisites: one, it must be a humanoid Pokémon, and two, the Pokémon must have a formal identity.

Machamp being a humanoid Pokémon was not a problem. The key was the identity issue.

Pokémon in the Pokémon World could register for a proper resident status with the Pokémon League. Although it wasn't equivalent to a human's identity and they didn't have the ability to act independently (i.e., they needed a Guardian), as long as they were registered, they were official members of the Pokémon League and enjoyed the basic rights stipulated by the Pokémon League.

None of the Pokémon at Bai Feng's Home had been registered.

Machamp wanting to get a Driver's License was a good thing for Bai Feng, but if it had to register for resident status, he would have to discuss it with Classmate Shen Mu. After all, Machamp was just an Employee here, not his personal Pokémon.

Who to put in the Guardian field during registration was a big problem.

The next day, when Bai Feng went to School, he told Classmate Shen Mu about this matter. Classmate Shen Mu thought for a long time and finally decided to let Bai Feng become the Guardian.

Although Machamp was placed with Bai Feng by him, it was actually Bai Feng who was raising Machamp and the others. Whether he could take Machamp and the others back in the future was also a question.

Originally, Classmate Shen Mu had paid Bai Feng living expenses for the five Pokémon, but Bai Feng refused. He was already responsible for the Employees' three meals a day, and the five Pokémon worked hard, so living expenses were completely unnecessary.

Bai Feng naturally had no objection to being Machamp's Guardian. After returning Home from School, he took Machamp to register its identity.

This identity registration was quite troublesome. The Registration Department not only had to verify Bai Feng's identity but also thoroughly investigate Machamp's identity.

If Machamp's identity hadn't been easy to verify and Classmate Shen Mu hadn't been a witness, the registration process would have been even more troublesome.

It was no wonder that not many people came to do this kind of registration.

According to Bai Feng's understanding, most of the people who came for this kind of registration were Pokémon Trainers who needed to participate in various competitions held by the Pokémon League.

By the time Bai Feng and Machamp finished the registration and returned Home, it was already completely dark.

The next day, Bai Feng didn't have School, so he took Machamp to enroll in a Driving School.

There were quite a few Driving Schools in Biyi City, and most of them were concentrated in the West District. Bai Feng did some research and finally chose one that was closer to the East District and had a good reputation.

When Bai Feng took Machamp to enroll, the people at the Driving School were quite surprised. Although Pokémon could obtain a Driver's License, not many actually came to enroll.

After enrolling, Machamp was assigned to a Teacher to learn. Bai Feng, having nothing else to do, stayed there and watched for a while.

What surprised Bai Feng was that Machamp learned very quickly. Even its Teacher praised it repeatedly and said that with Machamp's strength, it could actually drive on the road directly.

Only after asking Machamp did Bai Feng learn that it had actually learned how to drive when it was fostered at others' Home, so it wasn't really a novice.

Although that family were friends of Machamp's previous owner, the wife of the family was very harsh. She often complained that Machamp and the others only ate and didn't work, so she frequently found excuses to make them help with work.

At first, the husband didn't agree with his wife ordering Machamp and the others around like that, after all, their owner had paid money. But as time went on and he got used to it, the husband also developed the habit of ordering Machamp and the others around.

To avoid being driven away, even if Machamp and the others had opinions, they didn't dare to voice them.

Machamp's driving skills were learned from the husband of that family.

Although the husband of that family wouldn't let Machamp drive on the road, when they were at Home, he would often have Machamp help drive things around.

Over time, Machamp got used to driving. This was also why it took the initiative to raise its hand when Bai Feng was troubled about not having a driver.

It must be said that Machamp, with its four hands, had quite an advantage when learning to drive.

"Good job, Machamp! Study hard, practice hard, and strive to get your Driver's License as soon as possible and become Fangxing Mountain's exclusive driver!"

During the break, Bai Feng encouraged Machamp. Machamp was very happy to hear Bai Feng's words; it liked the title "Fangxing Mountain's exclusive driver".

Then Bai Feng went Home alone. Before leaving, he said to Machamp, "I'll come pick you up in the afternoon!"

Machamp nodded honestly, watched Bai Feng leave, then took out the Pokéblock can it carried with it, poured out a Pokéblock, threw it into its mouth, and continued to study hard.

Machamp's nature was quite honest. When Bai Feng told it to study hard, it practiced continuously all day, hardly resting. When it got tired, it would swallow a Pokéblock to replenish its HP. Even its Teacher finally exclaimed that they couldn't take it anymore.

When Bai Feng learned about this, he didn't know whether to laugh or cry for a moment. After that, he instructed Machamp to balance work and rest when studying, as excessive practice wouldn't increase learning speed.

Although Machamp promised Bai Feng that it would balance work and rest, when it went to the Driving School the next day, it was still exceptionally diligent and serious, only resting for a little while longer than the previous day.

While Machamp was working hard to get its Driver's License, Bai Feng and Dongyu went together to look at trucks. Finally, after comparing three different options, they chose a large truck with an extremely large carrying capacity. Not to mention using it to transport Berries, it was even sufficient for transporting reinforced concrete.

Bai Feng investigated the manufacturer of this vehicle and was surprised to find that it was produced by a Car Factory under Lysandre. It truly was a coincidence.

Lysandre, this great tycoon, could really be seen in all sorts of industries.

Since neither Bai Feng nor Dongyu could drive, the staff from the car dealership ended up driving it back for them.

After Machamp returned Home from practicing driving in the afternoon, it found a brand new truck parked outside the Home. It was overjoyed and immediately sat in the driver's seat to try driving it.

The vehicle Bai Feng bought cost a lot of money. Its performance was excellent, completely different from the vehicles at the Driving School, and it was very exciting to drive.

When the other Pokémon discovered that Machamp was driving, they all expressed that they wanted a ride. Having no choice, Machamp had to drive the Pokémon around the property for a ride.

When Bai Feng returned after talking things over with Dongyu outside, what he saw was Machamp driving around with a truck full of Pokémon.

Probably out of novelty, even the flying Talonflame, Fletchinder, and Fletchling all squeezed onto the truck, chirping non-stop, looking very excited.

And there was Hatterene. It originally didn't want to join the fun, but it was dragged onto the truck by Bai Ye. Although it was very uncomfortable at first, it was eventually infected by the joyful atmosphere created by everyone and finally laughed heartily along with them.
