After returning home, Eddie gathered all the Pokémon together and formally introduced Hattrem to them.
Faced with so many unfamiliar Pokémon, Hattrem was a little uncomfortable. It awkwardly used its hair to cover the scar on its face and was very worried that everyone would laugh at it.
Eddie saw its worry, so he patted Hattrem on the shoulder and said, "Hattrem, no one will dislike you, don't worry."
Perhaps it was because Eddie's eyes were too sincere that Hattrem unconsciously let go of the hair in her hands.
It looked at the Pokémon in front of it. They were all looking at it excitedly, without a trace of disgust or strangeness. They were truly welcoming it.
In fact, the reason why everyone was so happy was not only to welcome Hattrem, but also because there were new members joining and they could enjoy good health care again today.
This is such a beautiful misunderstanding.
However, it was precisely because of this misunderstanding that Hattrem eliminated his initial fear of the new environment and laid a solid foundation for her to get along with everyone in the future.
After everyone got to know each other, Eddie began to take Hattrem to familiarize herself with her future work.
He took Hattrem home first.
"Your current job is to be responsible for the housework in this family. It was done by Salandit before, but now Salandit is not at home, so I have to trouble you.
Salandit is also an employee of the family. I will introduce it to you when it comes back. It is a very cute little guy."
"Hatt~"
Hattrem nodded.
"When Salandit comes back, you will go to the staff dormitory and be responsible for the sanitation work there. I will take you to the staff dormitory later." Eddie continued.
Then Eddie arranged a separate room for Hattrem at home. Since she had to be responsible for the housework, it would be more convenient for her to live directly at home. Living in the staff dormitory would require her to run back and forth.
Hattrem didn't expect that she would have her own room, and she was surprised. When she was in the shelter, she had always been crowded in a room with many Pokémon. This was the first time she had her own room.
Looking at the beautiful furnishings and all the necessary daily necessities in the room, Hattrem suddenly felt as if something was about to erupt in her heart.
Seeing that Hattrem was in a daze, Eddie said again: "This room was specially prepared for you by Selene two days ago. If you are not satisfied with anything, just tell it directly."
"Selene, you remember, that's Gardevoir, she's also my mother, she can handle all the household affairs."
Hattrem nodded when she heard this, indicating that she understood.
With Eddie's introduction, Hattrem began to understand everything about Mystic Mountain little by little, and also learned about the treatment of working here.
The treatment was beyond its imagination.
The benefits that Hattrem knew were only the ones that were obvious. Once it learned about the various hidden benefits of working here, it would be even more surprised.
In the evening, Hattrem actually took the initiative to offer to help Eddie prepare dinner, which surprised Eddie.
Hattrem can actually cook?
After asking, Eddie learned that while Hattrem was taking care of other Pokémon in the shelter, he would also take care of the caretaker there, and it basically prepared the uncle's three meals a day.
However, Hattrem said that her cooking skills were all self-taught and might not be very good, so Eddie should be mentally prepared.
However, the truth is, Hattrem is really too modest. Its cooking skills are indeed not as good as those of professional chefs, but it is completely sufficient for cooking meals for the family. Eddie's shabby cooking skills cannot compare with its skills at all.
The eating habits in the Kalos region are quite different from Eddie's previous life, so most of the time, Eddie would cook for himself. Although the food didn't taste that good, it was something he had gotten used to.
When cooking tonight, Eddie tried to tell Hattrem the recipe he knew, and then Hattrem took charge of the cooking. Unexpectedly, the final result was very satisfactory.
When Eddie tasted that familiar flavor, he almost cried.
Only at this moment did the Pokémon truly appreciate the charm of Eddie's food from his previous life. They used to think that Eddie's cooking was delicious only because the dishes were fresh, but in fact, the taste was really ordinary.
Hattrem really brings out the charm of these delicacies.
For a moment, everyone looked at Eddie with a strange look. Why are you so bad?
However, human food is just a taste stimulant for Pokémon, and their main source of energy is still energy blocks.
The energy blocks that Mr. Brian made for Eddie had been delivered a long time ago, and the Pokémon had all eaten them. The effect was very good, and they accumulated energy much faster than before.
Especially the Larvitar, Eddie could clearly feel that its complexion had improved recently, it had become more energetic, and even had more energy for training.
It was the first time for Hattrem to eat an energy cube, let alone a high-level energy cube made from A-grade tree fruit. The feeling of energy surging throughout her body was truly amazing.
Only Pokémon food made from A-level fruit can make Pokémon feel a noticeable surge of energy.
After eating the energy cube, Hattrem couldn't help but sigh that Mystic Mountain's life was too luxurious!
The last activity of the day was naturally a major health check. When Eddie announced the news, the Pokémons immediately cheered.
The "ignorant" Hattrem was bewildered by everyone's sudden excited reaction.
Health care? What is that?
Tonight is another wonderful night!
With Hattrem's help, the house suddenly felt different, as if the air had become fresher.
Hattrem got up early in the morning and started working. When Eddie got up, she not only prepared breakfast, but also cleaned the house inside and out.
Looking at such a clean and bright home, Eddie's mood became much better. He didn't feel anything when Salandit was here, but when Salandit was gone, he realized how important Salandit's existence was.
When I came back from school in the afternoon, Eli suddenly called and said that there was a problem with a fruit merchant and he wanted to place an additional order for a batch of tree fruits.
Because they needed the fruits urgently, Eddie had to call on the Pokémon to pick the fruits quickly.
That fruit merchant was also unreliable. After Eddie and his friends had hurriedly picked the fruits, the truck that came to transport the goods had a problem on the road and didn't arrive until very late to take the fruits away.
Eddie was so annoyed by them that his head started to hurt.
At this moment, he suddenly thought that he should buy a car, a truck. If he had a truck, when the fruit merchant's car broke down on the road, he could deliver the fruit directly to the merchant without worrying about wasting time.
But who would drive the car? He couldn't drive it by himself, right? Not only was he not old enough to get a driver's license, but he had such short legs that he couldn't even step on the brakes. It was totally useless!
Eddie was quite distressed about this.
The next day, after Eddie discussed this matter with Pokémon, the Machamp actually suggested that it wanted to learn how to drive.
Can Pokémon get a driver's license?
Eddie had never heard of this before. He checked it out online, but he never expected that Pokémon could actually get a driver's license.
However, there are two prerequisites for Pokémon to obtain a driver's license. One is that it must be a humanoid Pokémon, and the other is that the Pokémon must have a formal identity.
There is no problem with the fact that Machamp is a humanoid Pokémon, the key is the identity issue.
Pokémon in the Pokémon world can register as formal residents with the Alliance. Although this is not equivalent to human status and they do not have the ability to act independently (i.e. they need a guardian), as long as they are registered, they will be an official member of the Alliance and enjoy the basic rights of Pokémon stipulated by the Alliance.
None of Eddie's Pokémon have been registered.
It is a good thing for Eddie that Machamp wants to get a driver's license, but if he wants to register for a resident status, he has to discuss it with Conner. After all, Machamp is just an employee here, not his Pokémon.
Who to fill in the guardian column when registering is a big problem.
The next day when Eddie went to school, he told Conner about this. Conner thought about it for a long time and finally decided to let Eddie be the guardian.
Although he left the Machamp with Eddie, it was actually Eddie who raised them. It was also a question whether he would be able to take them back in the future.
At the beginning, Conner had paid Eddie for the living expenses of the five Pokémon, but Eddie refused. He was already responsible for the three meals a day of his employees, and the five Pokémon worked very hard, so they didn't need any living expenses at all.
Of course Eddie had no objection to being Machamp's guardian. After returning home from school, he took Machamp to register his identity.
This identity registration is quite troublesome. The registration department not only has to verify Eddie's identity, but also has to investigate Machamp's identity clearly.
If it weren't for the fact that Machamp's identity was not difficult to check and Conner was a witness, I don't know how troublesome the registration process would be.
No wonder not many people come to register.
According to Eddie, the trainers who come to register the most are those who need to participate in competitions held by various leagues.
By the time Eddie and Machamp finished registering and returned home, it was already completely dark.
The next day, Eddie didn't have to go to school, so he took his Machamp to the driving school to register.
There are quite a lot of driving schools in Coumarine City, and most of them are concentrated in the West District. Eddie did some research and finally chose one that is closer to the East District and has a better reputation.
When Eddie brought Machamp to sign up, the people at the driving school were quite surprised. Although Pokémon can get a driver's license, not many people actually sign up.
After registering, Machamp was assigned to study under a teacher. Eddie had nothing to do, so he stayed there and watched for a while.
What Eddie didn't expect was that Machamp learned very quickly. Even his teacher was amazed and said that with Machamp's strength, he could actually drive directly on the road.
After asking Machamp, Eddie found out that it had learned how to drive when it was fostered in someone else's home, so it was not actually a novice.
Although that family was friends of the former owner of the Machamp, his wife was very mean and often disliked the Machamp and his friends for just eating and not working, so she often found excuses to ask them to help with work.
At first, the male owner did not agree with his wife using the Machamp in this way. After all, the master paid them. But over time, the male owner got used to it and formed the habit of using the Machamp.
In order to avoid being driven away, the Machamp dared not raise any opinions even if they had any.
Machamp learned this driving skill from the male owner of that family.
Although the male owner would not let Machamp drive on the road, he would often ask Machamp to help drive and pull things at home.
Over time, Machamp got used to driving, which is why it raised its hand when Eddie was distressed about not having a driver.
I have to say, having the incredible strength of four hands is quite an advantage when learning to drive.
"Good, Machamp! Study hard, practice hard, and try to get your driver's license as soon as possible so that you can become our Mystic Mountain's exclusive driver!"
During the break, Eddie encouraged Machamp. Machamp was very happy to hear Eddie's words. He liked the title of Mystic Mountain's exclusive driver.
Then Eddie went home alone. Before leaving, he said to Machamp, "I'll pick you up in the afternoon!"
Machamp nodded honestly and watched Eddie leave. He then took out the energy cube jar he carried with him, poured out an energy cube and threw it into his mouth, then continued to study hard.
Machamp has a very honest personality. Eddie asked it to study hard, so it practiced continuously all day long with almost no rest. When it got tired, it swallowed an energy block to replenish its strength. Even its teacher couldn't stand it anymore in the end.
When Eddie found out about this, he didn't know whether to laugh or cry for a moment. Then he told Machamp to combine work and rest when studying, and that excessive practice would not increase learning speed.
Although Machamp promised Eddie that he would combine work and rest, when he went to the driving school the next day, he was still extremely hardworking and serious and only rested a little longer than yesterday.
While Machamp was working hard to get his driver's license, Eddie and Eli went to look at trucks together. In the end, after comparing prices from three trucks, they chose a large truck with an extra-large load capacity. Not only was it used to transport fruits, it was also enough to transport steel bars and concrete.
Eddie investigated the manufacturer of the car and found out that it was produced by a car factory owned by Lysandre. It must be said that it was really fate.
Lysandre is a wealthy man who can be seen in all walks of life.
Because Eddie and Eli didn't know how to drive, the staff of the car dealership helped them drive back.
When Machamp came home from driving practice in the afternoon, he found a brand new truck parked outside his house. He was so happy that he immediately sat in the driver's seat and tried driving it.
Eddie spent a lot of money to buy this car. The performance of the car is very good. It is completely different from the cars in the driving school and it is very exciting to drive.
When the other Pokémon discovered that Machamp was driving, they all expressed their desire to ride. With no other options, Machamp had to drive the Pokémon for a ride in the mountains.
After Eddie came back from talking to Eli outside, he saw Machamp pulling a truck full of Pokémon around.
Perhaps out of curiosity, even the flying Talonflame Patrol (Talonflame, Fletchinder, and Fletchling) crowded into the car, chirping non-stop and looking very excited.
There was also Hattrem, who originally didn't want to join in the fun, but was dragged up by Selene. Although she was not used to it at first, she was eventually infected by the joyful atmosphere created by everyone, and finally laughed along with everyone.
