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

Chapter 42 Elle Duo

Cynthia was curious about how Li Shuwen and Chi Ri met.

Also, did Chi Ri reveal her true identity to Li Shuwen?

"Shuwen, how did you meet this friend? He doesn't seem like a simple person."

"Brother Sang is the president of a company. He started managing the family business a long time ago, but because of his superpowers, he is always troubled."

"Three years ago, I ran into Brother Sang in the park. He was sitting on a bench in the middle of the night, lost in thought. I went up to him and said hello. That's how we met."

"Last year, I was lucky enough to buy a few old books at a street stall. I didn't expect them to be genuine. I got a formula to suppress superpowers."

"I made some incense and gave it to Brother Sang. He said it worked quite well. I just happened to have researched something new that can make even better incense."

"I ran into Brother Sang here, so I went to ask him how effective the incense was."

Cynthia nodded. No wonder her dark circles had faded considerably when she looked at Akatsuki earlier.

She seemed to recognize the ancient book that Li Shuwen mentioned.

It seems to be some records of the ancient Sinnoh people's daily life.

However, Cynthia did not expect that the name Akari gave Li Shuwen was also a fake.

Does the blazing sun also have secrets that need to be hidden?

Never mind, Cynthia grabbed Li Shuwen and left, "Let's go eat Black Forest cake."

……

Cynthia scooped up a spoonful of Black Forest cake and put it in her mouth, squinting her eyes in satisfaction.

"So delicious!"

Last time, she missed out on such a delicious cake because of a wall slam!

Li Shuwen nodded with a smile, "Although I have tried to replicate it, even though I used the exact same ingredients, I still couldn't make Uncle Caibo's Black Forest cake as delicious."

A handsome man in his thirties brought out two slices of red velvet cake.

"Perhaps it's because I incorporate my love for food into my cooking."

Cynthia took a bite of the red velvet cake and found it tasted just as good as the signature Black Forest cake.

Cynthia began by saying, "The power of the mind, according to the ancient texts I've read, is that as long as you can devote yourself wholeheartedly to something, you can achieve extraordinary things."

Li Shuwen nodded, a typical example being the bond between trainers and Pokémon.

Bonds are the resonance of souls, which is specifically manifested in Ash and Greninja's Bond Evolution, and Ash and Pikachu defeating Leon and Charizard's 10 Million Volts.

Li Shuwen currently has five Pokémon: Kommo-o, Croagunk, Primeape, Torchic, and Farfetch'd.

Li Shuwen has a deep bond with Kommo-o. When will Li Shuwen and Kommo-o be able to use skills with power comparable to Z-Moves, relying on their bond? That would mean their bond is truly complete.

Chef Caibo smiled and nodded, "This lady is right. I am single-mindedly striving to reach the pinnacle of culinary art, which is why I can create such delicious dishes."

"Order anything else you'd like, it's on me. The cake is on me today."

Cynthia shook her head. "I've already had a lot of sweets today, thank you for your kindness, Chef."

"Then next time, I'll go serve other customers." Chef Caibo turned and gave Li Shuwen an encouraging look before returning to the kitchen.

Having lived in Veilstone City for eighteen years, Li Shuwen knew that the people in the Pokémon world were generally warm and welcoming, and he could find acquaintances wherever he went.

They were like family to Li Shuwen, all hoping that he could find such a gentle and beautiful girlfriend.

After spending more than an hour at the dessert shop, the two leisurely returned to the pottery studio.

The ceramic figurines of Garchomp, Desert Dragonfly, and Gible have all been fired and are awaiting cooling before being taken out of the kiln.

Cynthia was eager to see what the finished Gible figurine would look like.

Half an hour later, the three ceramic figurines made by Li Shuwen and Shirona were finally brought out by the ceramics teacher.

"Wow, so cute!"

The giblets are lifelike, playful, and adorable.

Then look at Garchomp, so majestic and imposing, it looks like it's about to pounce and unleash a Dragon Dive attack.

Except for its size, it's practically indistinguishable from a real Garchomp.

Finally, I looked at the desert dragonfly.

The Instant contrasts sharply with Gible and Garchomp.

So ugly!

Cynthia frowned immediately. Even though Li Shuwen had salvaged the desert dragonfly, it still looked quite cute.

How come after she colored it, it turned into a green, ugly monster?

Li Shuwen smiled and picked up the desert dragonfly. "It's kind of ugly-cute. I'll take this back as a souvenir."

"In exchange, you can take the Garchomp I made back with you as a souvenir."

Cynthia nodded happily, "No problem!"

Li Shuwen, you always said you didn't know how to date, but you're pretty good at it now!

The three ceramic figurines were carefully packed into a ceramic studio box.

As the two walked out of the pottery studio, Li Shuwen asked, "It's almost time. Shall we find a place to have dinner?"

Cynthia shook her head. "No, I have work tomorrow, and I need to go home."

Li Shuwen smiled and said, "Alright then, let's meet again next time. There's a beautiful waterfall on Cuiyun Mountain to the west. Let's go for a picnic, have a meal, and go camping together."

Cynthia smiled and nodded. "Okay, I'll take you back to the Veiled Gym."

After driving back to the Veiled Dojo, Li Shuwen said before getting out of the car, "Baicai, wait a moment."

"what?"

Cynthia was a little worried, feeling that something unexpected might happen.

After getting out of the car, Li Shuwen quickly ran into the Veil Dojo and soon came out carrying a huge box.

"I bought some local specialties from Veil City. Take the cabbage back with you for your family to try."

As he spoke, Li Shuwen opened the trunk of the SUV and stuffed the large box inside.

Cynthia didn't even have time to refuse.

What do you mean by "buy local specialties"? You clearly made them yourself.

Could you please stop sending a huge box of local specialties every time you send them?

We can't finish it, we simply can't finish it!

Seeing the clay figurine box in the passenger seat, Cynthia made a decision, a mischievous smile playing on her lips. "Garuda, I can only ask you for help!"

And Lucario, he should be able to eat quite a bit too.

"Then I'll be going now. See you next time, Shuwen."

See you next time, Cabbage.

Watching the SUV drive away, Li Shuwen waved continuously.

As soon as Li Shuwen entered the curtained dojo, he heard the bell outside.

"Shuwen, your package has arrived."

Li Shuwen came out again. "Who sent me the package?"

The courier was also a little surprised, "It was sent from our city of Weimu, and the sender didn't leave a name."

Li Shuwen took the cardboard box, opened the seal, and inside lay a Poké Ball and a piece of paper.

Li Shuwen first took out a piece of paper with some words written on it.

Shuwen, the Pokémon in this Poké Ball are perfect for your current situation. Consider it a gift to celebrate you becoming a trainee Gym Leader of Veilgate City.

Hopefully, he can help you become the best trainer in the Sinnoh region.

—Sangliu.

A gift from Brother Sang?

Li Shuwen took out a Poké Ball and released the Pokémon inside.

With an emerald green upper body and a pure white lower body, sharp blades on his elbows, and a head resembling a gladiator's helmet, he is elegant and noble, like a god of war.

Gallade!

The deliveryman exclaimed in surprise, "You actually sent me a rare Gallade! That's incredibly generous!"

Although Li Shuwen knew that Sang was the president of a company and quite wealthy.

But I never expected that Brother Sang would be this rich.

That's Gallade!
