[You defeated Hai Dai, the leader of the Bottle Gym, and obtained the Bottle Badge]

Successfully obtained the fourth badge.

The dancer did not rush to the next city, but hoped to taste Haidai's Jingtang seafood cuisine again. After all, the burning insects had not tasted this kind of delicacy before.

Haidai was elated by the compliments. How could he refuse, as he was already enthusiastic and cheerful.

It happened that the dancer brought back Alola's golden kelp, and he simply used it to make a seafood dish for Jiji.

[You almost swallowed your tongue, and the happy looks of the Pokémon made you laugh from the bottom of your heart]

Dinner is over.

Dancers embark on a new journey.

The next stop was Jinhui Town, which was located in the Third West District and the two cities were very close to each other. Even though the dancers were fighting street battles with wild classmates while rushing, they still arrived at their destination in less than a day.

Having collected relevant information in advance, she once again changed her style.

[Your flower, dance and bird style has become a light and airy style]

The light and airy style transforms Hua Wu Niao from an energetic cheerleader into a beautiful dancer holding a folding fan. The purple feathers have a sense of tranquility.

[You have arrived at Jinhui Town, a town that exudes a nostalgic atmosphere. You will be delighted by the intricate roads and restaurants everywhere]

The food culture in Padea seems to be particularly developed. Since Dancer came to the west, she can find delicacies that she is interested in in almost every town.

Interestingly.

When the dancer resisted the temptation and went to the gym to sign up, the front desk staff told her that the gym owner Aoki was dining in a restaurant called Baoshido.

Because it's break time now.

[You are thinking that since this is the case, you might as well go and taste the delicious food in Jinhui Town]

The dancer took the Pokémon and rushed to the Pokémon Cafeteria.

She actually had the idea of ​​getting to know the leader of the Jinhui Gym, but after walking around in Bao's Cafeteria several times, she felt that no one looked like the leader.

They were either office workers or uncles and aunts—maybe they were all her classmates.

[You have no choice but to sit down near the bar and ask for information from a middle-aged man with a tired face]

But in the past, the innate high favorability that always worked well seems to have expired.

The dancer didn't get much information about the gym that he wanted from the opponent. He only knew that there was a secret menu in the treasure cafeteria, and that adding lemon juice to grilled rice balls was an adult's taste, and children wouldn't understand it.

[You looked at the tired look on the other person’s face and his sincere attitude towards the food, and did not disturb his private time anymore]

Kashiwagi looked at the middle-aged man, but couldn't help complaining, "Is this person the gym leader?"

This person nearby has a different portrait, he is 100% the Gym Leader.

It's a pity that the dancer doesn't have the "God's perspective" like him. He just thinks that the other person is an ordinary diner and doesn't dare to disturb the other person's enjoyment too much.

Not long after.

Wait until the dancer comes to the gym again.

The front desk accepted her registration and asked her to go to Bao Food Hall again, because the test of Jinhui Gym was to ask her to order a secret meal there.

The dancer looked confused.

"Can this be considered a test?" Kashiwagi couldn't help complaining. He cooperated with the live broadcast and helped run errands without saying anything. It was okay to order the hidden menu in the restaurant.

Is it purely a test set based on the gym leader’s preferences?

In the scene, the dancer ran non-stop back to Bao's Cafeteria, and learned from the ordering staff that he could not reveal the secret menu. He could only give feedback based on the meal, quantity, heat and leftovers selected by the dancer. The secret menu was with

no.

The ordering staff gently reminded her that she could get answers from other gym challengers in the town.

then.

The dancer turned around again and prepared to leave.

But halfway through, the dancer stopped.

[You turned around and asked the ordering staff if there was a limit to the number of times you could order the secret menu. When you heard the other person said there was no, you raised your lips]

There is no doubt that when faced with the test of fixed options, dancers think they can use permutations and combinations to break through.

It was obvious that this was not the first time for the ordering staff to face such a gym challenger, and he was very calm.

The dancers begin to choose one by one.

Since the simulation accelerated this part of the content, it was difficult for Kashiwagi to know how many options there were on the menu at Takara Shokudo. He only knew that the ordering staff's hesitation quickly disappeared.

The expressions in the bubble above this man's head changed frequently, and he looked a bit broken.

God knows how long it has been.

Accompanied by the carnival dancing ducks, the dancers showed unprecedented perseverance and shamelessness, and successfully ordered the secret set meal without disturbing other guests but only the ordering staff.

The person ordering food in the simulation turned red, as if his brain was overheated, and left after confirming the secret menu.

[You know from regular customers that there are many gym challengers who had similar ideas to yours, but without exception, they either guessed it in advance or were too thin-skinned to persist until the end]

In other words, dancers are the first to achieve the conditions by relying on "perseverance".

[You heard his words of admiration and suddenly felt embarrassed, but what made you persist? You couldn't help but look at the Carnival Dance Duck]

Traveling with Pokémon can really change people a lot.

The dancers have changed from their original introverted and autistic character to become confident and cheerful, and their courage has also become bigger. Not only do they dare to run around, they even dare to come over and explain after being attacked by the Tianxing Team.

How can ordinary people dare to go into an environment that is obviously detrimental to them?

At this moment.

The diners in the Bao's Cafeteria hall left one after another, and the tables and mats were taken away by the waiters. Then, under the shocked gaze of the dancers, the Bao's Cafeteria hall became a battleground.

"Hiss! This is awesome!"

Kashiwagi took a breath and couldn't understand how the Jinhui Gym Leader persuaded the owner of Baoshi Restaurant to renovate his restaurant.

Is it possible that the bosses behind the scenes are the same family?

God knows.

As expected, a middle-aged man with a completely different pixel art walked over from the bar, and an exclamation mark appeared above the dancer's head. Apparently, he did not expect that the person he was looking for to collect information was the gym leader.

[You look at the opponent’s feeble movements and are quite doubtful whether the opponent is qualified to do the job of a gym leader]

But it turns out.

Whether a trainer is strong or not has nothing to do with whether he is weak or not.

Jinhui Gym Leader Aoki, a staff member of the Padia Pokémon Alliance, also serves as the Four Heavenly Kings, and is good at Pokémon with general attributes...

Very strong.

[You find that Aoki’s moves and tactics are quite average. The opponent also claims to be average in strength among gym leaders, but this averageness vaguely reveals his strength]

Maybe it's because the difficulty increases starting from the fifth gym badge, or maybe it's because your strength reaches a bottleneck.

Although the dancer won, it was quite difficult to win. Aoki's social worker skill [Hard Hold] was so strong that he killed the Sweet Cold Queen and the Burning Insect one after another.

Even the Flower Dancer basically doesn't have much physical strength left. Although it is immune to [hard support], it is not immune to the sharp stone attacks of the earth dragon.

In the end, the dancer relied on the Carnival Dance Duck, which turned into a water attribute after being transformed into a crystal, and defeated the Muke Eagle, which was transformed into a crystal.

[You defeated Jinhui Gym Leader Aoki and obtained the Jinhui Badge]

【You are being treated by Aoki】

It seems to be Aoki's habit to treat winning gym challengers to dinner, and judging from how he paid, he probably didn't open this treasure restaurant.

"Hmm...why do you feel so much like Goro?" Kashiwagi fell into some kind of thought.

A social animal, a middle-aged man, a thin face, and a love for food. Isn't this an inappropriate "Lonely Gourmet"?

Of course it could also be an illusion.

——

Leave Jinhui Town.

Just like last time, the dancers received news about the school's new courses.

She couldn't help but fall into some kind of tangle.

[You learned from Aoki that the next gym battles will be increasingly difficult, and Gurusha, the gym leader of Frost Moist Mountain who is about to go, is known as the strongest gym leader]

To put it simply, it had nothing to do with the course. It was just that the dancer wanted to go back to the combat teacher Huang Bo to develop a wave, but she was worried that she would miss out on Merlot, and she was entangled for a while.

Compared with her hesitation.

Pokémon such as Wild Wave, Dancing Duck, etc. are more decisive. When Dancer gave them part of the decision-making power, they all agreed that they should go back to develop.

The battle with Aoki made them realize their own shortcomings, and it would be impossible for stronger gyms to defeat them if this continues.

Under the encouragement of the Pokémon, Dancer accepted their proposal and made advance plans to grow as quickly as possible.
To be continued...
