Chapter 1219 Sit-ups
"Kashiwagi! You've gotten even stronger!"
Zhimi's tone was full of envy, "Was that a Z-Move? The way you used it with all your might was an art form!"
When he discovers that his abilities are stuck in a long-term rut, his desire to improve far exceeds that of ordinary people.
However, this is by no means because he and his Pokémon did not try hard enough. The reason may be that they failed to find the right method, or perhaps they were limited by their natural talents. In any case, they were forced to get stuck at this stage.
Although talent is an ethereal concept in the world of trainers, and each Pokémon may be different, it does exist, and its energy level is affected by it.
Ash's Pokémon prove this point to some extent.
With the same growth rate over a year, you might not win the grand prize, but you can still compete with the Four Heavenly Kings or even the champion.
Zhimi has naturally bred many Water-type Pokémon and changed team members many times, but he is still stuck there.
Therefore, he began to seek external stimulation.
For example, the "assistance" of the powerful champion Kashiwagi.
Why not look for Karuni?
Search! Search everywhere!
There's no rule that you can only seek help from one champion. Besides, champions are so busy that when one of them is unavailable, you can always ask the other for help.
Zhimi's little scheme was in full swing.
Lokomoko stood beside the two and nodded, saying, "Kashiwagi's skills are improving rapidly, just like his culinary skills."
"You flatter me. Blastoise is not bad either; its final Dragon Pulse was really powerful!" Kashiwagi said sincerely.
Despite not being a STAB type, Mega Blastoise was able to hold its own against Milotic's level 90 Z-Move with just Shell Smash!
Keep in mind that there's at least a ten-level difference between the two sides!
Even after factoring in the various ability values derived from hard work, there is still a certain gap between the two sides.
Just as Shimi was about to respond, the Poké Ball in his hand started to shake.
It was the Blastoise that had just been dizzy.
Bang!
The Poké Ball activated automatically, and the somewhat disheveled-looking big guy jumped out, immediately spraying water from the cannon and hurriedly tidying himself up.
After all, its trainer is an elegant, handsome, and noble young man. How could it be sloppy, inheriting its trainer's habits?
After confirming that there was nothing wrong with its appearance, Blastoise gave a bright smile and looked at the curious Shiny Milotic.
"Click~~"
Milotic-chan~~
The cheesy words left Kashiwagi speechless, and Shimi's ears trembled as well, but he felt no shame for his embarrassing behavior; instead, he burst into laughter.
"It seems my Blastoise is quite fond of your Milotic!"
"Click~"
Blastoise covered its face in embarrassment, as if its little secret had been exposed.
But its short, thick tail was swaying rapidly from side to side.
Milos was completely bewildered.
"Milo?"
“It’s not really your business.” Kashiwagi patted its head. “If it says it likes you, just tell it you like big monsters.”
Compared to Mawile, who is now well-informed and understands Piplup's original ideas, Milotic is still confused and only half-understands many things.
—Then there's no need to understand it.
What does it matter if other people like it?
It's not like it likes anyone else.
Milotic suddenly realized what was happening and responded with a bright smile to Blastoise's attempt to peek at it.
Blastoise didn't understand Kashiwagi's words; its eyes and tongue excitedly turned into heart shapes, "Kame~~"
But before he could be happy for long, a rival appeared.
"Cuck!"
It's Golduck from Lokomoco, the blue duck that accompanied him on his path to enlightenment, whose mental strength was so strong it seemed like he had a pseudo-superpower attribute.
It acted just as confused as Milotic, but its actions were completely different from the secretive Blastoise; it bravely went up to Milotic to express its love.
"Qua~"
"Kame!?"
Blastoise's pupils dilated violently.
Oh my god! Someone's stealing my wife!
It hurriedly followed and expressed its goodwill to Milotic, creating a somewhat comical scene.
A brave duck and... a two-faced turtle?
Milotic smiled and relayed what its trainer had told it.
"Miro~"
"Cuck!"
Golduck nodded regretfully, while Blastoise looked like the sky had fallen, then turned somewhat angry.
"Kami?"
Who! Who is the giant monster!
If you're so capable, come out and challenge it to a one-on-one fight!
Today, this tortoise is going to charge forward for love!
Milotic obediently patted the cypress tree's waist with its tail.
Bang!
Amidst the flashing lights, the sleepy-eyed Bosscodora looked around curiously.
Because Kashiwa rarely uses it in public battles now, it usually takes a nap after lunch.
"Guhoo?"
Bosscoat spotted Blastoise glaring at it and couldn't help but laugh.
Haven't done anything for so long that you dare to bare your teeth at any piece of trash?
Despite its gentle nature, the monster remains wild at heart. It may appear to have a better temper, but it's simply too lazy to argue with small animals.
It took a step forward—
"Stop, stop, stop."
Kashiwagi, who was watching the show, intervened in time to stop it, and Shimi also pulled his Blastoise back.
This overconfident guy just finished his match and hasn't even had time to reply.
Golduck, who had started the fight, watched the show, prompting Lokomoco to look at him helplessly, "You little rascal, aren't you just pretending to be stupid but actually quite clever?"
"Quaa?"
Golduck scratched its head in confusion.
Unlike other Psyducks that shed their stupidity after evolution, this one in his family remains clueless even after evolving.
Zhimi described this as a case of great wisdom appearing as foolishness.
—It just needs to be not a case of feigning wisdom while being foolish.
After the noisy interlude ended, the three put away their Pokémon, left the dusty battlefield, and returned to the hall.
As soon as they entered, they saw countless diners stand up and applaud, looking at them with smiles on their faces.
"As expected of the champion!"
"Mr. Zhimi is amazing too!"
"Good luck in the match! I believe you can win, Kashiwagi!"
The speaker drew sidelong glances from onlookers, who noticed that his attire was clearly different from the style native to Carlos, and immediately smiled with relief.
If he's not a traitor, then everything is fine.
Zhimi bowed gracefully, "Thank you all for your support, and I wish you a pleasant meal."
As the restaurant owner, he naturally wanted to show his appreciation, so he instructed the waiters to have the kitchen prepare an extra dish for each table.
He then led the two to the kitchen.
"Bai Mu, I have a favor to ask of you today." He stated his thoughts frankly.
Simply put, it's about finding a training partner for yourself, except that you have high requirements for that partner.
Shimi looked at Kashiwagi, who hadn't shown any expression, and said, "I can help you improve your cooking skills."
His voice carried a hint of hope.
"You're too kind. It's only right that we help each other and improve together." Kashiwagi gave him a reassuring smile. "I'd be happy to help whenever I have free time!"
How could I possibly let go of a sparring partner who comes to my door?
Although it's slightly inferior to the Champion Nemo training machine, the Four-Day Ace Zhimi training machine is already quite good.
There are only a few dozen units on the market.
Zhimi breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "That would be perfect!"
Lokomoko couldn't help but feel envious, but the gap between them was too big, and he was too embarrassed to ask to join in.
"I recently had a stroke of inspiration and created a new dish. Would you two be interested?"
Zhimi smiled and tied on his apron.
-
evening.
Kashiwa bid farewell to the two chefs.
"The new Four Heavenly Kings..."
He remembered what Zhimi had just said and shook his head.
Pachira is about to be released from prison. He was sentenced to five years in prison for surrendering himself to the police and showing deep remorse after Team Flare was destroyed in the middle of the year before last.
Due to good behavior in prison, and with the guarantee of Champion Karuni and the three Heavenly Kings, his sentence was reduced to a three-year probation.
The Carlos Alliance intended to keep him as one of the Four Heavenly Kings, but Pachira himself refused.
She claimed that having made mistakes, it would be difficult for her to be a role model for trainers.
The plot is the same as in the animation.
This is regrettable for a significant portion of the Carlos Alliance.
Just like Team Flare only revealed their true intentions and wreaked havoc on Lunare City when their apocalyptic plan was launched, Pachira has an excellent public image and is loved by countless people as a television presenter.
He also has an extremely friendly relationship with the other four Heavenly Kings and champions.
When Team Flare's plan was exposed, Karune and the others immediately went to the police station to meet with her.
Some felt regret, while others were angry at their ignorance.
In the end, everyone wanted to give Paci a hand. When they learned that she had sincerely repented, they managed to turn Carlos's Champions League into a stage for the three kings and champions.
However, Pachira's mind was made up.
Left with no other choice, the Carlos Alliance had to find a new one of the Four Heavenly Kings.
But how easy is it to do that?
The Elite Four are all top-notch trainers. Many people are qualified to accept the invitation, but very few are truly capable.
Therefore, the Carlos Alliance is currently facing a headache.
From Shimi, Kashiwagi learned that all eight gym leaders were candidates, including Alain.
Although he was not the winner of the League Tournament, the Four Heavenly Kings were by invitation only and did not require the qualification of a winner.
The league just picks from this group of people all the time.
Battle record is the standard for judging strength!
Now that Alain's strength has been tested at the World Championships, the Carlos League will naturally include him in the roster.
As for whether it will ultimately work out...
That's another story.
The Carlos Alliance's affairs weren't really related to Kashiwagi, so he just listened to them and then put them out of his mind.
—If you're so capable, why don't you make Serena or Yulijia the Four Heavenly Kings!
Come to the hotel.
As Bai Mu stepped into the elevator, he suddenly turned to look at the corner where a man in a trench coat was standing. "You've been following me all this way, haven't you?"
"Huh? What are you talking about?"
The man in the trench coat looked bewildered.
He calmly stated, "Code name: Commander—"
Before he could finish speaking, the man's expression changed slightly, and he quickly stepped forward to cover his mouth. "Shh! How did you recognize me? Do you know me?"
Kashiwagi stepped back to dodge, "Guess?"
"Guess what?!"
Seeing that he had failed to catch the other party, the handsome man sighed, "Now I know why they've been trying to recruit you."
Interpol has been hoping to bring Kashiwagi into the organization, but unfortunately, he has more to do.
Handsome guy, a celebrity in the international police force, and a famous NPC in the game.
The game's fate is rather tragic, as Ultra Beast lost its memory and was unable to rejoin the International Police force.
However, the anime doesn't depict such situations; he continues to run his detective agency in Lucerne City and only leaves for other places when he has a mission.
Upon hearing that Kashiwagi was coming, he deliberately tracked him down and followed him for a long time.
Thinking they had fooled him, they ended up getting caught in this enclosed space.
"Ugh……"
The handsome man sighed again.
Kashiwagi said, "I just have a sharper reaction; a normal person wouldn't notice."
I wouldn't stalk a normal person!
The handsome man was speechless.
The elevator doors opened, and the people standing outside saw the two of them and were immediately startled.
Seeing this, the handsome guy walked out first, then turned around and gestured with his eyes, seemingly preparing to continue following.
Kashiwagi didn't mind, opened the room and invited him in. After the Happy Egg came out, he made him a cup of tea.
"Happy~"
"Thank you."
The handsome man chuckled, took the drink, tasted it, and his eyes lit up slightly as he said, "Not bad~"
"Happy!"
The happy egg smiled happily.
It made this itself by learning from online videos. Although everyone in the group was very accommodating and said it tasted great, it still occasionally wanted the approval of outsiders.
After all, outsiders' opinions are relatively objective; how can one improve if they only receive praise?
Bai Mu chuckled and patted its head: "Now you've got what you wanted, haven't you?"
"Happy~"
Happy Egg nodded.
Milotic was surrounded by many Pokémon, and the fact that three Pokémon were fighting over it successfully attracted the attention of many Pokémon, led by Gengar.
Especially Mawile, although it didn't feel anything when it was being pursued by Piplup, now that it understands everything, it naturally has a strong desire to watch the drama unfold.
"Milo?"
The silly, beautiful snake was completely bewildered; it didn't really understand what had happened.
So, everyone's attention shifted to Bosscodora.
The giant monster remained silent.
“Guhou…”
It was completely an innocent victim, inexplicably released a Poké Ball by Milotic and then inexplicably targeted by Blastoise.
A battle for a spouse? Who? Me?
The big monster really wanted to say that, but faced with the probing looks of his companions, he couldn't help but feel speechless.
Oh no, he's an idiot too.
The Pokémon, led by Mawile, parted ways in a huff.
They wanted to chat about some gossip, but it turned out they were both clueless fools who didn't understand love at all. It's such a shame.
Of course, no one expected Milotic and Boscotora to spark any romance. Even though they often went on romantic dates together, it was just for sightseeing.
At most, Milotic seems to have some confusion about Aggron.
This is something everyone has witnessed.
Even the trainers know this.
The handsome guy watched the Pokémon interacting and a look of curiosity appeared on his face. "Your Pokémon are all very active."
"Absolutely, freshness is the most important element in my home."
Kashiwagi sat down next to him and asked, "So, is there something you need me to do?"
The handsome guy said, "I heard you were a key player in Team Flare's destruction?"
"That doesn't count."
Kashiwagi did not take credit, saying, "It was mainly Boss Ryuka who did the work; I just made things a little easier for them."
The handsome man then said, "Do you know that Vladali is missing?"
Kashiwagi: "...Huh?"
“Vladaliben was in our supervised intensive care unit, but he disappeared last week.”
The handsome man shook his head and said, "The surveillance system is malfunctioning, or it has been overwritten by someone using the same video clip."
Vladali...wasn't he in a vegetative state?
Kashiwagi vaguely remembered that after the incident, the leader of Team Flare became a vegetable, unconscious and without feeling.
He's been rescued now? Who wants to summon his spirit?
P.S.: Vladari appeared in AZ, so let's summon his spirit.
