Third-person POV
By 7:20 p.m., the Cseh family and the Red are having dinner at the dining table. The dining table and chairs are made of cheap yet resilient Kang-Real Darkwood in the center of the Natividad Island in Salaz. The food for dinner is Adobo pork with potatoes and Java fried rice. Ignatius was in his regular house clothes and had already planned to do the hand laundry on his logo-less Team Plasma grunt attire. For dessert, they had yellow, spongy, and tangy Dhokla, gifted by a neighbor from within Kaban.
The food is what struck Red's viewpoint of the world.
"This world was diverse than I thought," his mind ran in a circle.
His Pokémon and the Pokémon of the Cseh family are eating their special food on their food bowls on the floor.
He then put a spoonful of Adobo pork and fried rice into his mouth, and his eyes widened by the flavor.
"This is so good…" he muttered while swallowing his first bite.
"Tasty, isn't it?" Tuyết asked with a smile.
"Yes, it is!" Red responded, before trying a slice of the Dhokla.
The tangy flavor caught his surprise. "This is so tangy!" he muffled his words while chewing the sponge cake.
"That's Dhokla," Bianca said to him. "It is a light sponge cake with a unique tangy flavor."
"Thanks, Mr. and Mrs. Cseh," Red happily replied back, "for the food and the sanctuary."
After dinner, while Red was taking a cold shower, Ignatius was on his phone. He was talking to the Pokémon professor of this region, 50-year-old Professor Osman Ceai, whose Pokémon lab was based in Natividad City. On the other end of the communication line, Osman, who had just eaten dinner with his 3 adult children and their spouses and children in their family urban gated compound, knew about Team Rocket taking over Kanto and how the Kanto Elite Four had betrayed Red at the Indigo Plateau.
"You did the right thing to pull that kid out of the clutches of Team Rocket," Osman said to Ignatius while his Emolga was munching some salted nuts on his desk nearby.
"Yes, da," replied Ignatius while sitting on his bed. "I can't stand at someone being used as a pawn."
"Very good, kid. It seemed you had decided to cancel your Kanto championship."
"Not worth it, professor. Team Rocket ruined everything, so I bailed out with Red and his team on tow."
"Okay, I also made sure that Team Slash and Champion Rizal Provost would be aware of activity of Team Rocket. Red is under our wing now."
"Yup, thanks."
They ended their conversation for the night.
