Chapter 565 Shuwen, why is it always you!
Kona smiled and said, "I'm sorry, but since I became one of the Four Heavenly Kings of Kanto, I haven't been able to travel far for a long time due to work."
"I can count the number of times I can go back to my hometown, and not being able to see any new Pokémon makes me lose some of my motivation to be a trainer."
"Facing new and exciting Pokémon might help me rediscover my original passion."
Li Shuwen nodded. "I understand. Being a trainer is indeed a profession that requires a lot of passion and drive."
Kona pushed up her glasses. "As expected of the legendary Midas Touch, even though we haven't fought yet, I feel like I've already been inspired by the Midas Touch."
Li Shuwen blinked. How could Kona gain inspiration from watching his fight with Natsume?
Li Shuwen couldn't help but speak up, "This is simply because Miss Kona, as one of the Four Heavenly Kings, is of a high enough level, and has nothing to do with Midas touch."
Kona smiled slightly, "I think we don't need to keep flattering each other here. There's a shop on the beach that has pretty good milk tea and desserts."
"It's my treat."
Led by Kona, the group arrived at the seaside dessert shop.
Looking at the shop, Li Shuwen felt a strange sensation.
Once inside the dessert shop, you'll see Bob, with his blond hair, sitting in a corner, enjoying his treat.
Korna walked over. "Wow, Blair, I caught you slacking off!"
Uncle Xia quickly looked up. "I was just taking a break from work and having some dessert to replenish my energy. It's a perfectly normal thing to do!"
"And the desserts at this shop are even better than usual!"
Kona raised an eyebrow. "Really?"
Kona quickly called over a waiter and distributed the menus to everyone, saying, "You can order any dessert here; you won't be disappointed!"
Kona is even more confident than the boss.
Li Shuwen casually ordered six kinds of desserts that Cynthia liked.
The desserts were served so quickly that it made one wonder if they were pre-made.
Cynthia took a spoonful and said, "It tastes great, and it's freshly made, but the taste is strangely familiar."
Li Shuwen picked up a spoon and took a bite, immediately understanding where the familiar feeling Shirona tasted came from.
"Uncle Caibo!"
Li Shuwen looked at the waiter and asked, "Is the head chef of this restaurant Saiba Joichiro?"
The waiter paused for a moment, then said, "That's right, today's head chef is the head chef's senior from university. I heard he came here for a study abroad program and is working here temporarily for a week."
The waiter lowered his voice and said, "Chef Caibo's cooking skills are much better than ours. You can order the dishes on the last page of the menu."
Rather than a whole book of meticulously crafted dessert menus, there are also pictures.
The last page was crammed with dishes, and each one had only one name.
It's practically an explicit warning: Don't order!
As Kona just mentioned, you can order any dessert at this shop, but these dishes are definitely not included.
Of course, the quality of the food was above average, but it wasn't amazing.
Kona's eyes lit up after tasting the dessert. "Could we ask Chef Caibo to come out and meet me? I'd love to know how he makes this dessert."
"It can even elevate an already perfect flavor to a whole new level."
After tasting this dessert, Lorelei felt that new inspiration for training Pokémon was about to be sparked.
Saiba Joichiro stepped out with a smile. "Which beautiful lady would like to have my recipe for dessert made?"
Li Shuwen smiled and said, "Uncle Caibo, I didn't expect to meet you here."
Upon seeing Li Shuwen, Saiba Ichiro was visibly taken aback. "Shuwen, why is it always you?"
"Why is it that wherever I work, you get to be there ordering food?"
Li Shuwen's lips twitched. This seemed to be what he wanted to say.
Saiba Joichiro smiled smugly, "Whoever says it first gets to have it!"
Saiba Joichiro raised an eyebrow. "Perfect timing. There's something in the kitchen that needs your help. Come with me right away."
Li Shuwen blinked. No, why does he need his help everywhere?
But Li Shuwen still got up skillfully and followed Uncle Caibo to the kitchen.
"This is my junior from school, the head chef of this restaurant—no, it can't really be called a restaurant anymore, it's more like a dessert shop."
The junior student lowered her head and said, "I'm sorry, I will definitely improve!"
Uncle Caibo patted Li Shuwen on the shoulder and said:
"Didn't I tell you that even a trainer could cook better than you? Well, here comes the trainer."
The junior student glared at Uncle Caibo with a huff, and said confidently, "Although my cooking skills are indeed a little lacking, it's not like just anyone can cook better than me, is it?"
Uncle Caibo spoke up immediately, "Shuwen, show her what you've got! If you're better than her, I'll teach you my latest cooking recipe!"
Li Shuwen immediately perked up, "No problem!"
The younger student confidently declared, "I could never lose to someone who's an amateur!"
"I lost!"
The junior student knelt on the ground, feeling that her life was utterly gray.
Impossible! She spent six years at a culinary academy and she can't even beat a trainer!
She randomly chose a dish from the restaurant menu, and after tasting Li Shuwen's version, she realized the gap between herself and the ace chef.
Chef Saiba shook his head. "Now you understand the importance of continuing your culinary training even after leaving the academy, right?"
The junior student stood up and sighed, "Okay."
Saiba Joichiro took out a small notebook and handed it to Li Shuwen, "This is the latest result of my research over the past two months."
"Both the successes and failures are listed above; you're sure to gain something from reading them."
Li Shuwen took the research records outside, while Kona outside had already learned from Cynthia how superb Saiba Joichiro's cooking skills were.
"I've decided, this is where I'll treat you to dinner tonight. I'll ask Chef Caibo to prepare a table of his best dishes!"
……
After dinner, Li Shuwen felt that the aura emanating from Kona was completely different from that in the afternoon.
"Kona is just like she was when she was eighteen again," Blair said with a smile.
Kona's cold gaze swept over, and Blaine quickly coughed twice. "As people get older, their minds tend to become muddled. Kona is only eighteen years old."
"I remembered it wrong! I remembered it wrong!"
Kona took out a Poké Ball. "Mr. Shuwen, thank you so much for Chef Caibo's cooking. It helped me rediscover my original passion."
"I will give it my all in tonight's battle!"
Li Shuwen smiled. "Just what I wanted!"
Because Lorelei had previously asked Li Shuwen for new Pokémon.
So Lorelei took the initiative to release her Pokémon first; her first Pokémon was Starmie.
The dazzling red gem on her chest, clearly professionally polished, exudes a powerful aura of superpowers.
On Li Shuwen's side, the contestant he sent out was a battle maniac.
His gray hair stood on end, and his scarlet eyes were filled with fighting spirit.
Lorelei raised an eyebrow. "Forsaken is indeed a very novel Pokémon. Before the paper came out, I didn't expect that Primeape would have an evolution."
"Let me test the waters and see how good this abandoned monkey is!"
