In a busy and fast-paced metropolis, such a cafe located in a small alley is particularly special.
The store is not too big, with exquisite decoration, lazy orange lighting, a few customers chatting quietly, and a wandering artist playing and singing guitar on the stage.
It is said that the beautiful and leisurely melody here once attracted the favor of Meloetta, the fantasy Pokémon from the Hezhu region, and lived here for a while.
But today, this cafe welcomed three outsiders.
At this moment, Musashi, Kojiro, and Meowth are sitting by the window of the cafe. Through the glass, they can see the scene on the street.
"Hey, we've arrived in a new area again."
"This year's Rockets job is really boring"
"Meow wants to go on vacation too, meow~"
The movements of the three of them were similar. They all dragged their cheeks, half-squinted their eyes, and lazily looked out the window at the hurried office workers.
This time, they were sent to the Hezhong area by Boss Sakaki.
It is said that there have been drastic changes within Team Plasma recently, and the three of them were assigned as vanguard officers to investigate.
It would be best to take care of Team Plasma in one fell swoop.
Unfortunately, the headquarters did not provide any funds, which made the three of them listless and unable to work hard.
There seems to be nothing to check.
Then let’s lay it out for a week first.
The scene outside the window at the moment is a Christmas tree standing on the street next door, with lights and colorful decorations on it. Many pedestrians passing by are also wearing red and white Santa hats, giving it a very festive atmosphere.
Kojiro's eyes suddenly brightened, he became energetic and stood up suddenly.
"By the way, Christmas is next week!"
However, compared to Kojiro's excitement, the other two were less interested.
Musashi curled his lips and said:
"What, I hate Christmas the most."
"Meow is also annoying. Seeing everyone looking so happy, meow really wants to tear their faces off, meow!"
As he spoke, the cat even raised his palms and stretched out his sharp claws, as if he was about to commit murder on the street.
"Well, isn't Christmas wonderful? Everyone gathers warmly under the Christmas tree, enjoying delicious food and singing carols."
Kojiro quickly smiled dryly and tried to smooth things over:
"And Santa Claus will give everyone Christmas gifts on this day!"
He even took out a blue sock with great interest and held it in his hands with a smile.
When he was a child, he only had to make a wish on the day before Christmas and hang the socks on the bedside.
When I woke up the next day, I could see that the gift I wished for had actually appeared in my socks.
"Master Kojiro, Santa Claus must have heard your wish and gave you the gift~!"
The old housekeeper in the villa will also smile and talk next to him.
So Kojiro firmly believed in Christmas gifts.
Although since I left home and joined the Rockets, my socks have been empty every year.
However, every Christmas, Kojiro would still prepare socks with a sense of ritual.
It must have just been Santa who forgot!
"Idiot! How can there be Santa Claus in this world?"
Musashi couldn't help but curse, she hadn't received any Christmas gifts.
"That's right, meow hates Christmas the most, meow!"
Miaomiao was also cursing beside him, very disdainful of Kojiro's childish behavior.
"Don't be like this~"
Kojiro was not dissuaded by his companions, but turned around and saw a promotional poster posted on the cafe, thinking to himself:
"This year, I hope my Christmas gift will be that one!"
Musashi and Meowth were bored and subconsciously looked away.
But what I saw on this poster was a special boxing match in Feiyun City.
The patterns next to the ring are of star boxers such as Master Itachi, Fiery Monkey, and King Yanwu.
It seems that on Christmas Eve, Feiyun City will gather powerful players from all over the world to compete for the strongest boxer!
"What the hell, they're all muscle Pokémon, so disgusting."
"So Kojiro, do you want the championship gold belt? It's really inexplicable, nya~"
Kojiro shook his head and pointed his finger at an inconspicuous little pattern next to the championship gold belt on the poster.
This is a commemorative bottle cap, only issued on Christmas Eve, with the images of Feiyun City and Boxing engraved on it.
"The winner of this competition can also get this commemorative bottle cap!! Ah, it would be great if I could get this, this is the ultimate souvenir!!"
Upon hearing this, Musashi and Meowth suddenly turned pale, and moved away from Kojiro without concealing their disgust.
The latter's hobby is to collect all kinds of weird bottle caps. Sometimes, just to get a bottle cap, he will even pour out the drink itself.
Musashi and Meowth have always stayed away from this kind of bad taste.
However, seeing that his two companions still showed no interest in Christmas, Kojiro's eyes suddenly lit up, as if he had some good ideas.
Then he gritted his teeth and stopped paying attention to the coveted collection on the poster.
After all, even with his strength in the ring, he can't defeat these strong fighters above.
"Decided!"
However, Kojiro clenched his fists and turned to look at his two friends, already having a bold idea in his mind.
Late that night.
Team Rocket's secret base in Feiyun City.
This is a hidden basement that needs to be reached through a long and narrow corridor.
At this moment, Musashi and Meowth were fast asleep on their respective beds, but Kojiro suddenly opened his eyes, then tiptoed out of bed and went out.
After a while, he arrived at the largest department store in Feiyun City.
Feiyun City is the largest city in the Hezhong region, with prosperous commerce and trade, and many shops are even open 24 hours a day.
So even late at night, the department store is still brightly lit, the shops are open, and many customers are still hanging around happily.
Snapped!
Kojiro came to a makeup counter, slammed the table, and said with great pride:
"I want the latest cosmetics from you!"
He decided that since neither Musashi nor Meowth believed that Santa Claus would give gifts.
So this year, it will be up to him to secretly prepare Christmas gifts for the two of them and refresh their worldview!
Let these two people also feel the warmth and beauty of Christmas!
Kojiro knows Musashi very well, gifts and so on
There is no need to choose, just use expensive cosmetics to show off your face.
Late at night, I suddenly saw a customer coming to my door. Although he was dressed simply and did not look like a rich man, his aura of wealth could not be concealed.
Having been in the business for many years, this counter girl has a very good eye for seeing people, and her eyes suddenly shone.
