My elf trainer simulator

Chapter 102 High Rewards (Thanks to my leader whose name is really handsome, 543)

What exactly is a chef’s obsession?

Before Kashiwagi could be entangled for too long, the chef who returned to Miare City revealed the answer through narration and black and white picture recall.

To put it simply, it’s just two words——

【family】.

The chef is not a helpless orphan. On the contrary, his family is very well off. His father is the CEO of a large company.

But the company's main business is very interesting.

It's a prepared dish.

That is, convenient food that is produced centrally in a central kitchen through modern standards and scientifically packaged, including but not limited to ready-to-eat, ready-to-cook, ready-to-heat, ready-to-prepare, etc.

It belongs to the hottest catering industry in Carlos right now.

Chef's House is the leader in prepared dishes, not only selling them in the Carlos region, but also spreading them to the outside world.

Of course, the chef's father hopes that the chef can inherit this industry, but the chef, who has lived with his grandfather who is a professional cook, stubbornly believes that some pre-prepared dishes are evil.

‘This kind of thing will only make people unable to distinguish between good and bad food, and it has no meaning at all. ’

At the same time, he believes that the Western chefs who come out of Western food training schools are more like machines than chefs, always making a dish with the same ingredients and the same heat.

The replacement by prepared dishes is a no-brainer.

So after falling out with his family, he resolutely took the wok and iron spoon passed down to him by his grandfather and went to a Western-style food training school, hoping to break into a different world.

Unfortunately, he thinks too highly of himself, and it is inevitable that he will run into obstacles everywhere.

When he had a falling out with his family, he also spoke out about wanting to make a career on his own, and also offered Zhimi's classic sayings.

"Only by constantly worrying, researching, absorbing knowledge and practicing, and with such down-to-earth efforts, can we explore the splendid and momentary beauty of cooking. 』

"This is absolutely impossible with pre-made dishes that are made by machines and seasoned according to recipes. 』

The latter sentence is the chef's personal property.

to here.

The memory killing in the picture is over.

Kashiwagi's mood was complicated. He didn't expect the chef to have such an experience. No wonder he was unwilling to look back even after breaking through the wall. Turning back was equivalent to a compromise on the pre-made dishes.

So prepared meals are an obsession?

It doesn't look like it.

Kashiwagi saw the chef lying on the bed and kept saying "..." as if he was struggling with something. He understood that the chef's mentality had grown during his trip to the Carlos region, and he was no longer so hostile to prepared dishes.

So how will he resolve his obsession?

The next day.

The chef gave Kashiwagi the answer.

[You come looking for your father and ask to talk to him. 】

【Your father agreed】

In an office, I saw a chef and a middle-aged man looking at each other across the table.

[You chatted about recent situations and asked each other if each other was healthy]

[You find that your father’s body is aging, and you feel a little sad]

[You apologized to your father and said that the existence of prepared dishes does have its reason, and not all prepared dishes are as worthless as he once thought]

[Your father was very pleased, but when you reiterated your dream again, your father fell silent]

[You tell him that the key seasoning that makes food delicious is joy. If you enjoy the food with a happy smile on your face, the taste will be several times more delicious. And seeing others smiling while enjoying the food is a chef's joy. In order to make others and yourself happy, no compromise is allowed]

[You will definitely become a first-class chef and a powerful trainer. You will participate in the Miare Conference in order to prove your determination]

[You didn’t wait for your father’s response, bowed and left]

Long narration.

But the chef's will is permeated inside.

When he walked out of the company building, Kashiwagi saw the chef bathing in the sun. His duck had its head out of the bag and jumped out.

next moment.

The light of evolution enveloped Kodak's body.

"But I'm obsessed with it..."

Kashiwagi smiled. It seemed that the chef's obsession was not being able to apologize to his father and solemnly talk about his dream.

After meeting these conditions, the Koda Duck, which represented his soul and will, evolved into the Gotha Duck.

"Quick~"

Although the blue humanoid duck is not as plump as before, it still has the same lazy expression as if it could eat five meals a day.

——

The Miare Conference was held on time.

Although the chef failed to get the super evolution, Kashiwagi knew that the chef would definitely get a good result.

The power of enlightenment has already been reflected in him.

really.

The chef made it through the three qualifying rounds very easily.

As a trainer who has obtained eight badges, Chef is obviously the best among them.

The team of ingredients manufacturing and processing machines he possesses not only have the ability to assist him in making dishes, but are also extremely powerful in terms of combat effectiveness.

From the Queen Bee to the Coal Turtle, they all proved that the many luminous dishes they usually eat are not in vain——

A queen bee who has learned how to dodge through thousands of flowers without even touching a leaf by collecting honey quickly.

Kirbymon gained super endurance and a terrifying physique by digesting a large number of failed dishes.

By raising five Pokémon and taking care of one person, you can master the unique skill of "drinking milk" to recover from being beaten.

By continuously fermenting various food ingredients and tree fruits, the pot has obtained strong digestive and corrosive abilities.

By accurately controlling the temperature of the fire, the Coal Turtle has realized the ability to control temperature and the ability to instantly burst out of high temperatures.

at last.

It is a Gotha Duck that implements the chef's will and is more like a super-type Pokémon than a water-type Pokémon.

Although he no longer has headaches due to the pressure accumulated as a trainer, he can still use the magical skill of "making the world feel pain" when needed.

So is there a high probability that a chef will win the competition?

To be honest, Kashiwagi didn't think it was big.

Because he doesn't have a Pokémon that can defeat all Mega Evolutions.

The power brought by super evolution cannot be ignored by anyone. In order to emphasize this point in the animation, the top four and even the top eight in the Miare Conference all have super evolution.

Even the Four Heavenly Kings and Champions need super evolution to improve themselves, so what the chef lacks is a new fierce stove with two stoves - ahem.

It's the fire-breathing camel and its super evolution stone.

But presumably no matter what the final result is, chefs will continue to grow, both as a trainer and as a cook.

A cook who doesn't want to become the Four Heavenly Kings is not a good trainer!

As Chef made his way through the preliminary rounds to the final eight, the deciding tournament, the first player with a Mega Evolution appeared.

The Pokémon used by the opponent was Mega Kairos, which put the chef into a tough battle.

Fortunately.

In Kashiwagi's expectant and nervous eyes.

The chef's Pokémon worked hard to defeat their opponents and successfully advanced to the semi-finals.

During the semifinals.

Facing the Mega Hu Di used by his opponent, Gotha Duck exploded into a small universe, and successfully killed him with his strong mental thoughts blessed by the blue talent [If Divine Assistance].

To be honest, if the semi-finals hadn't met Kona, Miniskirt would have easily passed the semi-finals.

At this point, the chef is only one step away from the championship.

It's a pity that it ends here.

The opponent's target for Mega Evolution in the final round - Bankelas, is a Pokémon with rock and evil attributes.

For Gotha Duck who does not know the Eye of Miracles, the evil attribute of Super Bankelas only brings a deep helplessness. No matter how strong the mental power is, its effectiveness will weaken in the face of the evil attribute.

Even in animations that do not have an absolute attribute restraint relationship, there is no guarantee that the attribute compatibility will disappear under the premise that the strengths of both sides are equal or even one side is stronger.

finally.

Gotha Duck, which almost turned the entire field upside down, fell to the sharp stone attack of Super Bankelas.

The end of this conference was announced.

The chef hugged the Gotha duck and looked at the sky, with only a little regret on his face and the determination to move forward.

[You stopped at runner-up, but you have proven your determination to your father, and also let Zhimi, the Four Heavenly Kings who are paying attention to you, see your wonderful appearance]

[Your father called you and expressed his support for your career and vision]

[You have received an invitation from the Four Heavenly Kings Zhimi. He admires you as a motivated and powerful trainer and chef, and hopes that you can become his deputy]

[You agreed and made a decision in your heart - you must open a restaurant of your own in the future to promote innovative cuisine. The name...let's call it 'Gotha Duck's Smile']

Gotha Duck: "Quack~"

The blue lazy face disappeared from the light screen, and Kashiwagi exhaled.

Compared with the miniskirt, the chef's story is much more complicated, and in the end it was a pity that he failed to win the championship... Is this thing so harsh?

Or does it require a more powerful talent to obtain it? Will there be other colors of talent after the blue talent?

By the way...

Has the chef's restaurant opened? The timeline is before Ash arrived in the Kalos area. Although I don’t know what time it is now, it must have been a long time ago, right?

He turned on his phone and searched for "Gotha Duck's Smile".

As a result of this search, he actually discovered a three-star restaurant in Miare City. The restaurant sign shown in the picture was the lazy high-definition face of Gotha Duck.

No more blurry pixels.

"It's already opened, and it's a three-star restaurant..." Kashiwagi clicked his tongue, understanding that the star rating in the Pokémon world was the same as the Michelin star in the previous life.

Samsung represents the highest level.

I hope I can have a chance to try Glowing Cuisine.

As he was thinking about it, the reward for this simulation popped up.

[Fixed reward: Move learning machine × 3 (attributes can be specified)]

[Fixed reward: Chef’s cooking memory—Magical Luminous Cuisine·Stir-fried dishes (can be read repeatedly)]

…

[Choice Reward 1: Any Pokémon will be upgraded to three levels (below lv.70)]

[Selection reward two: clues to obtainable Pokémon (attributes can be specified, excellent)]

[Select Reward 3: Skill - Mental Strength (can be learned from Pokémon)]

[Choice Reward Four: Save the [Kind-hearted] talent for the next round of simulation]

Choose three out of four rewards.

It is indeed correct to choose three out of four.

Kashiwagi rubbed his eyes several times and realized that he had read it correctly.

There is one more chapter, wait a moment
