Pokémon: I just became a Gym Leader, and Cynthia proposed to me.

Chapter 222 You need to be full to have the strength to confess your feelings

The two continued walking and came across a crepe stall.

The aroma of crepes made Li Shuwen's eyes light up.

"Cabbage, shall we go buy a couple of crepes to try?"

Cynthia nodded. "Okay."

Cynthia knew that Li Shuwen hadn't eaten enough for lunch.

During her trip to the Paddy Pit, Cynthia finally understood why Li Shuwen had bought so much food and packed it in his backpack.

They can eat so much!

After standing in line behind the two children, when it was Li Shuwen's turn, he smiled slightly and said, "Boss, please give me twenty crepes."

The boss paused for a moment, then excitedly exclaimed, "Okay, please wait a moment!"

It's been a long time since I've encountered such a big deal.

The boss made two crepes, put them in separate bags, and handed them to Li Shuwen.

"Please continue eating, the rest of the crepes will be ready soon."

Cynthia took a bite of a crepe and watched as Li Shuwen finished it in three bites.

The boss finished making a crepe and saw Li Shuwen staring intently at him.

He quickly packed it up and handed it to Li Shuwen.

"You're treating."

The crepes tasted great, and Li Shuwen ate nineteen crepes in one go, still wanting more.

Li Shuwen rubbed his stomach. "Let's go, let's go to the next stall."

Cynthia turned around and saw a circus in front of her.

"Shuwen, let's go take a look."

A nimble clown was seen riding on the back of a fiery beast, performing various difficult stunts, and finally leaping off the beast's back, jumping over a ring of fire in the air.

It landed right on the back of the Firestorm Beast.

The surrounding audience immediately erupted in cheers.

After the clown went down, several more Water-type Pokémon came up and sprayed water, which were then controlled by a Mr. Mime and floated in mid-air.

A mermaid, riding a white sea lion, leaps into the water.

Perform various dance moves in the water sphere, then leap out of the first water sphere and jump into a higher and larger water sphere in the air.

After emerging from the water mass, they take a breath and then continue the performance.

This mermaid actress has a very deep skill level.

Li Shuwen nodded approvingly.

Cynthia smiled. "Shuwen, is this actress very pretty?"

Li Shuwen nodded. "Beautiful, very beautiful. From the moment she leaps out of the water to the moment she enters the next water mass, it takes at most a second."

"But she managed to take a breath and performed in the water for almost three minutes. Cabbage, she has a deep foundation in martial arts."

Cynthia's lips twitched. "Is this what I was talking about?"

After the performance, the clown and the mermaid stood together in the center of the venue and took out a bottle of potion.

"This is a medicine specially developed by our circus. It can enhance the body's immunity. If men take it, their backs won't ache, their legs won't hurt, and they can climb thirteen floors in one go."

The clown complied by drinking the potion and then performed thirty backflips in a row.

Then, without blushing or panting, she introduced it to everyone, "Not only is it good for men, but it also beautifies and nourishes women, removes dampness and detoxifies, and makes you radiant."

"Return to Youth!"

The clown pointed at the mermaid, "Look, she's only so fair-skinned, beautiful, and has such a great presence because she takes potions all the time!"

Li Shuwen shook his head. "Let's keep moving forward."

Unexpectedly, in the Pokémon world, you can also encounter street performers who sell miracle cures on the side.

Cynthia asked curiously, "Shuwen, you're a martial artist too. Do the potions sold at this circus really work?"

Li Shuwen thought for a moment, "It should be useful, but the clown and the mermaid are probably just naturally beautiful and have good training, so the potion is only an auxiliary effect."

"To have their abilities, you still need to train regularly."

Proper exercise can extend a girl's youthful appearance by decades.

Some people begin to fade at twenty-five, while others are still in full bloom at fifty.

Continuing on, Li Shuwen bought a large portion of takoyaki (octopus balls).

They ate while walking.

Suddenly, the clear sound of an elephant's bellow came from not far ahead.

Cynthia's eyes lit up. A Pokémon she'd never seen before?

"Shuwen, let's go take a look quickly."

Several men wearing headdresses and reeking of spices were accompanied by several bronze elephants.

"Friends, these are the bronze elephants and the Great Bronze Elephant from our Galar region. Sit on the back of the Great Bronze Elephant and I'll take you on a tour of the venue."

"Enjoy a royal experience for only 500 Alliance Coins!"

Li Shuwen shook his head. Although the Great Bronze Statue was very rare in the Sinnoh region, and the palanquin on its back looked quite luxurious.

But doing one round costs 500 Alliance Coins. What's the difference between that and robbery?

Li Shuwen turned his head. "Cabbage, want to go up and try it out?"

Bai Cai shook her head. "I'm not interested."

Turning her head, she spotted an ice cream stand, and Cynthia's eyes lit up. "Let's go get some ice cream!"

Five hundred Alliance Coins are enough for Cynthia to eat her fill of ice cream.

Despite the rare opportunity to ride the bronze elephant, many parents brought their children along.

The leader took out a camera. "We offer free photo services. In addition to the King's bronze elephant, children riding the bronze elephant will only need 100 Alliance Coins for one free photo."

The little bronze elephant looks rather endearing.

But it is also 1.2 meters tall, and the children sitting on the chairs on the back of the bronze elephant look quite majestic.

The three-meter-tall bronze statue of the king does indeed give one a sense of royal grandeur when sitting on it.

The leading man cracked his whip, and the bronze elephant began to slowly move forward.

Several of the male leaders even took out musical instruments they carried with them and played them.

Thinking about it carefully, spending those 500 yuan was actually quite worthwhile.

Cynthia asked, "Shuwen, what flavor of ice cream do you want?"

"Chocolate cream."

With a rustling sound, the bronze elephant grabbed a twig from the side and stuffed it into its mouth to chew.

Eating as they walked didn't hinder the bronze elephant from carrying the guests forward.

After taking a lick of the ice cream, Cynthia suddenly realized what was happening.

Weren't they out on a date?

Why were they eating the whole way?

Shouldn't we find an activity suitable for couples to do together?

For example, the bronze elephant we just saw, with two people riding on its swaying back, their shoulders rubbing against each other and their legs touching.

Li Shuwen looked ahead and said, "Cabbage, there are cherry blossom cakes over there. I'll go buy some."

Cynthia's lips twitched. It seemed that Li Shuwen needed to be well-fed before he would have the strength to confess his feelings.

Li Shuwen bought a large bag and handed the bag to Cynthia.

"Cabbage, have a taste."

Cynthia picked up a sakura mochi, smiled and nodded, "It tastes really good."

Dozens of cherry blossom cakes were quickly devoured by Li Shuwen.

Cynthia's eyes lit up when she saw the skull on the tent ahead.

"Shuwen, let's go check out the haunted house."

Li Shuwen nodded, "Okay."

Upon arriving at the entrance of the haunted house, Li Shuwen discovered a shop selling fried noodles.

"Wait a minute, Cabbage, would you like a bowl of fried noodles?"

Cynthia maintained her standard smile. "I can't eat anymore right now. You can eat it yourself."

No rush, the haunted house isn't going anywhere. Let him eat his fried noodles first.
