Pokémon Padea Adventure: The Journey Continues

Faced with Ono's sudden challenge request, Haidai was a little embarrassed and was about to refuse on the grounds that he was busy with work. After all, Haidai did have work to do in restaurants, competition judges, and gymnasiums.

Before Haidai could speak, Ono continued.

"Originally, I wanted to ask Haidai for a cooking competition with me, but at the last moment I changed my mind..."

Hearing this, Haidai breathed a deep sigh of relief, while Xiaozhi and Joel were a little confused, and Xiaoye continued.

"I originally came from the Fengyuan region to the Padia region alone to practice cooking. I was determined to find the three 'national treasures of the world' in Padia to compete with each other. In the process of searching hard..., I understood There is a truth.”

Everyone except Ono, including his apprentice Masaki, was silently listening to the story Ono was about to tell.

"But during the long journey through the mountains and rivers in Padya, I learned about the story of Afeng's head chef, Chef Cheng Haidai, and later his apprentice named Dunzi."

As they spoke, the story of their previous encounter with Afeng, Dunzi and the others in Yuanmo City appeared in Xiaozhi's mind... Ono's story continued.

"Then, I came to the Orange\u0026 Grape Academy in Table City, where Chef Savaro also completed the transformation into Teacher Savaro, and I also learned the story of his teaching and educating people. In order to complete I wanted to compete with local famous chefs, so he tried his best to recommend Haidai who was in Boping City to me... That's how I came to Boping City to open a restaurant."

Haidai also fell into deep speechlessness after hearing that Savaro was promoting everywhere, saying that he was the first of the "three national treasures on earth" in the Padia region. Then Haidai opened his mouth to explain.

"No, Chef Ono, the pinnacle of culinary skills in the Padia region will never only exist between me, Savaro, and Afeng. Of course, the stories you meet them and the stories they tell you are all true. It’s just that the young are better than the old, and more and more young people will catch up..."

When it came to the emotional point, Ono nodded in agreement, took over Haidai's words excitedly, and continued.

"Yes, this is what I have understood during my travels. You have been cultivating the younger generations. This is something called "inheritance". During my travels, I accepted a man named Mackerel. Si's apprentice has a deep understanding..."

Hearing this, Mackerel was a little in disbelief. This was also the first time he heard him praise himself from this strict master, and then he said it unconsciously.

"Old man..., no, it's the master..."

Ono's expression changed, and then he hit Sabaki on the side of the head hard again.

"it hurts……!"

"Are you saying that you are a hindrance? You are still a hundred years early..., I originally wanted to compete with the last 'national treasure on earth', but after learning that the chef of this feast is Chef Haidai, your deputy After Joel's production, I have a deeper understanding of the power of "inheritance". In my opinion, Joel is the real "back wave". "

Although Mack was a little disdainful, he had to take a high look at Joel's superb cooking skills. Joel seemed calm and spoke appropriately.

"No, I just learned a little bit from Chef Haidai. It's hard for me to reach the level of elegance. Chef Ono is so praiseworthy..."

Hai Dai, on the other hand, looked embarrassed and said coquettishly while holding his face.

"To say that Joel is just a disguised way of saying that I, the head chef, teach well. I'm really embarrassed..."

Joel said while holding his forehead.

"Really, chef, you are so complacent again."

Ono interrupted the conversation between Joel and Haidai's master and apprentice and expressed.

"Therefore, I no longer continue to pursue the title of the strongest, but I want my apprentice Mack to help me win the championship in the Padiya Cooking Competition..."

After hearing this, Haidai leaned back on the chair and said with his arms crossed.

"I see, so Chef Ono's invitation to fight was not sent to me, but to my apprentice Joel, for your apprentice Sabaji."

Haidai revealed Ono's purpose in one sentence and then continued.

"The theme of the cooking competition we are holding in Bottle City is "Bitterness". You haven't gotten the "Bitterness" badge yet, right?"

After receiving affirmative answers from the three contestants present, Hai Dai continued.

"The theme of this competition is to make flowers come out of bitterness. Besides me, there is another unexpected flying judge among the judges this time. But it is not simple at all. Please be careful. Only your brains will do... Okay! I accept your battle invitation, but I have one more request, that is, you must also include Pipa among the ranks of your competitors."

"What! I... have a stomach ache?"

Pipa was so shocked by Haidai's sudden words that he became incoherent. Ono and Saba also looked up and down at the unknown Pipa in front of them.

"I heard Joel say before that he met a great cook at the "Salty" cooking competition in Anza Town. I didn't recognize him when I first met him at Zhiqin Market. His name was the same as The looks didn’t match up. But not long ago today, I knew that Paipa was Savaro’s disciple, so I’m looking forward to this competition.”

Pipa was a little confused, but after hearing that he was Savarro's apprentice, Pipa was able to guess more or less who was spreading the rumor.

Ono nodded and said after thinking.

"That's really great. With so many 'back waves' gathered together, we can look forward to the gold content of this competition..."

Later, in the conversation between the masters of both sides, Haidai and Ono, they reached an agreement on the duel, regardless of whether Joel and Sabaji were willing to conclude the duel. But in the eyes he looked at the two apprentices, there was also the intention to regard each other as a strong rival... On the other hand, Pipa was holding his forehead, firstly to get involved in the duel between the two chefs, and secondly. For some reason, he was suddenly given the title of Savaro's disciple.

Xiaozhi patted the frustrated Pipa on the shoulder and persuaded her.

"We are all students of Mr. Savaro, so it makes sense to say that Pipa is his apprentice..."

Facing Xiaozhi's admonition, Pipa's lowered head never raised, and she muttered.

"What a far-fetched reason..."

After a while, everyone also dispersed after walking out of the Haidai Club. Ono and Saba returned to the direction of Erlang's shop next door to make preparations for the next cooking competition.

When Xiaozhi and his party were about to leave, Haidai did not forget to remind Paipadao.

"Pipa! For the next cooking competition, Joel and Mack have gone to the Pokémon Center to register. Don't forget to register quickly. As of today, tomorrow is the day of the competition. I'm looking forward to it. The strength of Apprentice Varo..."

After saying that, Haidai and Joel returned to the restaurant.

Xiaozhi and his team were left behind, and they started to go to the Pokémon Center in Bottle City. They were in a hurry just now, and when Xiaozhi helped the Pokémon who had participated in the gym battle to recover their strength, they really didn't let Piper register. Registration matters.

Pipa followed Xiaozhi and the others unsteadily, then raised his head again, and sighed deeply. After all, he and Dunzi had a duel beforehand, so Pipa must also participate. In this cooking competition, I strive to qualify myself for the final competition as soon as possible. Regarding being involved in the duel between Joel and Mack, Quan Dang was a side mission.

When they arrived at Interlijun in the green area of ​​the Pokémon Center, Xiaozhi and the others found that there was already a long queue. They saw four people standing in front of the machine, pressing the buttons on it. At the same time, a sound similar to a quarrel broke out.

"You two, hurry up, meow..., don't delay our occupation of the Padia area just because of a trivial matter, meow!"

A short little boy urged the man and woman in front of him normally.

Then the blue-haired man in a suit said.

"Musashi, just let me take a look. I would like to know if the photography I submitted before has been shortlisted..."

Unexpectedly, the red-haired woman in a skirt said forcefully.

"How many times have I told you, Kojiro! You have to call me by my stage name outside - Maria Musashi! Today is the deadline for the cooking competition, and I still don't even have a taste badge..."

"Let's not talk about it for now, Musashi! Oh, no, it's Musashi Maria, you are the one..., you want to call me Jiro Antonio by my stage name!"

"Sonans..."

Facing the four people arguing, Xiaozhi and his party did not listen carefully to the content of their argument. They just lined up silently behind them, while the cylindrical robot Yin Telijun anxiously persuaded the two people arguing.

"Don't argue, please come one by one. We can complete the business today..."

After hearing Intelijun's embarrassed voice, Xiaozhi and the others stepped forward to stop him.

"Okay, you two! Stop arguing and follow the order one by one..."

The disguised Team Rocket turned around, only to realize the existence of Xiaozhi and the others behind them, and said hurriedly.

"It's a kid..., oh, no! Three boys and girls, you first..."

After saying that, he gave up his position on the middle panel. Looking at the four people whose attitudes suddenly changed, Pipa thought that they were not familiar with the operations on Intelijun. Then he stepped forward and completed the registration on it. matters, and also helped Musashi on the side fill out the registration information.

"Excuse me, are you also going to sign up for the cooking competition in Bottle City? The name used to fill in the application is..."

"Musashi Maria."

Three times five divided by two, Pipa also quickly helped Musashi complete the form, and then he remembered something and said.

"By the way, this name... It seems that we competed together in the "Sweetness" cooking competition in Shenbo Town, right? This time we are on the same stage again, and I ask you to show off your cooking skills without leaving any room."

Musashi remained silent, for fear of being recognized by the other party, so he just nodded silently.

Giving up the space, Xiaoqing handed the Pokémon into Xiaozhi's hands, came to the panel and asked Kojiro.

"Excuse me sir, do you want to use any equipment?"

Kojiro lowered his head, also afraid of being recognized by Xiaoqing and the others, and said in a low voice.

"It's okay, you can use it first..."

After getting the answer from the other party, Xiao Qing skillfully clicked on the column of shortlisted works of the photography competition to inquire. When Kojiro looked at the photography column interface, he couldn't help but move forward to check... He also submitted his works before to see if they were shortlisted.

There were not many shortlisted works updated on the interface, which shows how difficult it is to review later. Suddenly a familiar scenery photo appeared in their eyes, and Xiaoqing and Kojiro's eyes also lit up.

Looking at the dark and barren rocky area on the screen, the sunlight shining in the hollow area above lit up the surrounding darkness. The two of them recognized it at a glance. They were lost in the desert next to the desert. The scene inside the pillar hole.

Seeing the familiar scene, only Kojiro among the two of them jumped up with joy and shouted.

"Great, shortlisted!"

Xiao Qing looked frustrated. Although it was the same scene and location, and the timing of the sunshine was about the same, after Xiao Qing carefully observed it, he could tell that it was not the work uploaded by him. The photo on the screen was obviously from a better angle than the one he took. Reflecting the grandeur of the Pillar Cave.

When looking at the name of the author of the shortlisted work, Jiro Antonio's "Pillar Cave" was clearly written on it. Xiaoqing felt that the name was somewhat familiar. After thinking about it, he suddenly remembered it and said loudly.

"Ah, I remember it! That name..., Mr. Jiro Antonio, your shortlisted work is also "The Leaning Tower", that's right!"

Kojiro said with tears in his eyes.

"Yes, I didn't expect Xiaoya..., no, she's a girl. Have you seen my work?"

Xiaoqing nodded repeatedly and answered excitedly.

"Yes, I didn't expect to see the author himself. I think the works you took are very spiritual... However, I think the brightness of the overall picture of "Pillar Cave" is very similar to the sunshine that I had that day. , as if they were taken on the same day. The only outsiders besides us that time were Team Rocket and the others? It’s strange..."

The guilty Kojiro said quickly.

"Uh! Now that our business has been handled, we have to leave first. Goodbye everyone..."

"Goodbye, meow..."

With that said, the four people who were still arguing suddenly left the place together.

After Xiaoqing completed the inquiry, Xiaozhi handed the Pokémon egg back to Xiaoqing's hand and said to Pipa on the side.

"Maybe... it was the Pillar Cave I went to the day before and after with the photographer."

Xiaoqing nodded and replied.

"I think so. I don't want to think so much. It seems that my competitors are getting more and more powerful. Pipa, you should work hard to win this competition tomorrow."

Pipa, who had almost forgotten about this incident, was reminded by Xiaoqing that she would be involved in a fight between two tigers tomorrow, and she looked a little tired.
