Pokémon Padea Adventure: The Journey Continues

When Xiaozhi and his party came to Shenbo Town, it was the next day. The local cooking competition was about to start. The venue was crowded with people, and all Padian cooks who loved cooking gathered together.

Xiaozhi said with an idea.

"Pipa, this is just right. The theme of this cooking competition is sweetness. It just makes sense to use the sweet secret seasoning that I got from Treasure Master Maoya Crab before. The sweetness is unparalleled in the world!"

Piper listened, shook his head and said.

"I don't plan to use that secret seasoning. Firstly, it's unfair to the other players. Secondly, the quantity I took away isn't much, and I have to keep it to make food to detoxify Milton and the others."

Xiaozhi thought for a moment and responded.

"I see, why didn't I think of that?"

Xiaoqing was a little uneasy inside.

"Having said that, Pipa, we have to do our best to compete, otherwise we will be sorry to the other players."

"Okay, that's natural."

After Pipa replied to the two of them, the group came to the competition venue. After reporting at the front desk, Xiaozhi and Xiaoqing went to the auditorium, while Pipa came to the backstage of the competition alone.

Backstage, Dunzi was also present. When he saw Pipa coming in, he came up to say hello.

"Pipa, although this is just a promotion match, you still need to win three division matches. This time, let me get one-third of the qualifications first, and you can do it next time."

Pipa smiled and said after hearing this.

"That's not necessarily the case. Let's take a walk and see."

Just when the two sides were at war with each other, a lady wearing exaggerated and gorgeous clothes and a butterfly-shaped eye patch said.

"Just save it, I will be the one to qualify for the first battle and win the grand prize in the end, hahaha!"

Pipa and Dunzi looked at each other, and they didn't know where this cook with heavy makeup appeared. Dunzi replied angrily.

"Auntie, if you put on such heavy makeup and wear such fragrant perfume, the smell will get mixed into the food!"

"Big, big... aunt?"

The other party was in disbelief when she heard Dunzi call herself that, and was about to step forward to argue with her. At this moment, two people in the same clothes called out from the backstage.

"Musashi Maria, Musashi Maria..., Musashi!"

Only then did the arguing woman react.

"Oh, yes! I am Musashi Maria, what's going on!"

The visitors were none other than Kojiro and Meowth in disguise. This lady dressed in an exaggerated manner was Musashi. Musashi walked up to Kojiro and the others and said.

"What's wrong? What did you call me for?"

Kojiro complained.

"How dare you say that my name 'Jiro Antonio' ​​is not good! Didn't you yourself hear 'Maria Musashi' as if you were calling someone else's name?"

Musashi said angrily.

"Hey, I was just teaching the little girl a lesson... What do you want from me?"

Meowth said as he took out Musashi's Pokéball with Guomanou in it.

"You forgot Guo Ranweng. The rules of the competition require the cook to bring one of his own Pokémon for cooking. Don't forget it."

"Oh, is that so? I accidentally forgot."

Watching Musashi walking away, Pipa also complained in a low voice.

"He is really a very confident cook."

As he was talking, the sound of the radio in the background sounded.

"The judges and hosts of the conference are all in place. All cooks, please enter in an orderly manner."

Dunzi gasped slightly and said.

"It looks like the game is about to start, and I'm actually a little nervous now!"

Piper persuaded.

"Don't be nervous, let's do our best!"

After saying that, everyone walked towards the stage in an orderly manner... Xiaozhi and Xiaoqing in the audience were trying their best to find Pipa. Suddenly, Xiaoqing realized something and said.

"I saw it. Pipa was there...and Dunzi was there too. It's the first time I saw this kind of competition. Fortunately, the photography competition doesn't have to be like this and be held in the venue. Otherwise, I would be nervous to death. of."

Xiaozhi smiled and said.

“I’m just nervous the first few times I participate, but I won’t be nervous anymore as I gain experience.”

"Is that right?"

All the chefs enter in an orderly manner according to the number plate positions given by the staff when entering the backstage, with a total of twenty positions in five rows and four columns. In front of the rows of cooking tables, by coincidence, Pipa was placed in the middle of the stage, and Dunzi was located next door.

"That's great. I was a little nervous at first, but now that I'm with Pipa, my nerves can calm down a little bit."

Before Dunzi could finish speaking, a provocative figure came from the other side of her.

"Little girl, just a little girl, such a small number of people can scare you."

Dunzi and Pipa turned their heads to look, and it was Musashi Maria in Musashi's disguise. She was also assigned to the same row, showing that Pipa and Musashi were on the left and right of Tunzi.

Amidst the roar of the audience, the host heard his voice before he heard it, and the host spoke behind the scenes.

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome everyone to gather together to share the points of Shenbo Town promotion of this Padiya regional cooking competition. The theme of the competition is 'Sweetness' as the cooking theme. As for me, I am the winner of this competition. The host of Sweet…”

The lights came down and the curtain opened. A man in a pink suit walked out from behind the scenes. He elegantly took off his pink hat and gave a gentleman's salute to the players and spectators present.

"There are no restrictions on cooking techniques. The cooking methods are mainly various portable snacks. The taste of the dishes is limited to sweet dishes. The cooks must complete the cooking within the prescribed half hour. The cooking staff will be composed of the 20 contestants present and the contestants. An assigned Pokémon uses the power of Pokémon to work together to cook. There are kitchen utensils that may be used for cooking on the table, and there are various required ingredients on the left and right sides, all of which are available for free use. Time At the end, the competition is deemed to be suspended, and all contestants are asked to grasp the time limit. After all personnel have finished processing, the three judges at the judging panel will jointly score points and select a final scorer to win the competition. Badge with the theme 'Sweet'."

The host, Mr. Sweet, slowly raised his voice and gave the camera to the three judges who were sitting at the scoring table.

"Then let me introduce to you the three judges of this competition. From left to right, they are Mr. Culkinpo from the Pokémon Cooking Club, Mr. Stefley, the director of the conference affairs, and Mr. Stefley from the Pokémon Center in Shenbo Town. Miss Joy. So, let’s let the game begin.”

I saw Pipa sending out his hot baby and saying.

"Hot lad, I'm going to get some sweet orange and peach fruits first. When you get there, chop them up with a sharp knife, and then smash some of the fruits into juice with a head hammer. Because of the conference It’s stipulated that you can’t bring ready-made sandwiches. I want to bake the dough and make it freshly. Time is limited, so we’ll split up!”

As soon as they said it was done, the two of them split up and the tense cooking operation became orderly for a while, one of the judges outside the venue, Stefley, explained.

"On the other hand, some contestants let water-type Pokémon work in the oven, and some contestants let fire-type Pokémon wash tree fruits. Player Piper combines the characteristics of Pokémon and uses skills flexibly to work, getting twice the result with half the effort. "

Dunzi, who was on the side, was not to be outdone and sent out paparazzi and ordered.

"Paparazzi, release your high-quality yeast on the dough I just made."

I asked him to breathe lightly on the dough he had just kneaded, and then covered it with plastic wrap for fermentation.

Ms. Joy from the Pokémon Center in Shenbo Town outside the venue explained.

"The yeast contained in Paparazzi's breath can ferment the surrounding things. This yeast can come in handy when cooking. It has been documented in literature since ancient times... It seems that Player Dunzi is a person who is familiar with the characteristics of his own Pokémon. , and use it flexibly in cooking.”

In addition, the Musashi Maria contestant dressed as Musashi also used her own unique skills when kneading the dough.

"Sure enough, Weng, when I throw the dough to you, you just hit the dough back to me, do you understand?"

"Sonans!"

I saw Musashi throwing the dough to Guo Ranweng, and Guo Ranweng hit the dough back with his return punch trick. Musashi caught the dough again, turned around to catch the centrifugal force, and then threw the dough to Guo Ranweng..., and the cycle continued, and the dough continued. It also becomes stronger and stronger with the rapid impact, and it can also expel more bubbles than usual by simply rubbing with hands.

Kujinper from the sidelines explained.

"I like this!"

The cooking process became more and more intense, and all the cooking contestants tried their best and worked enthusiastically. The host, Sweet, reminded him thoughtfully.

"There are still fifteen minutes until the end of the game! All contestants, please hurry up and produce."

The audience outside the venue couldn't take their eyes off the dazzling "performance", and from time to time, the fragrance wafted out. Xiaozhi couldn't help but said.

"Half the time has passed. I didn't expect that a cooking competition could be so thrilling... Also, this fragrant scene is really addictive."

Xiaoqing looked at Xiaozhi and Pikachu who were drooling aside in embarrassment and reminded them.

"Xiao Zhi, wipe off your saliva. It's so embarrassing."

Ash disagreed and retorted.

"What? This is a normal physiological reaction of the human body, and it is also an affirmation of the cooking skills of all the cooks."

Xiaoqing continued to complain.

"Yes, yes, no matter how much delicious food I give you, all you can say is, 'You can never get tired of eating Pipa's cooking'..."

Kojiro and Miaomiao who were in the audience also stayed dormant for a long time, Miaomiao said while drooling.

"I really want to think about it. Is this paradise?"

Kojiro was also so greedy that his mouth watered, and he suppressed his saliva and said.

"Yes, this is heaven..., no, meow! Don't forget that we still have to do what Musashi ordered us to do. We must act according to Musashi's eyes."

The two looked at Musashi in the venue and saw that she was staring directly in their direction in the auditorium. The three of them looked at each other and nodded, and the secret operation began.

Above the venue, Kojiro and Meow Meow secretly climbed on the scaffolding on the ceiling, and soon they reached the top of the cooks. Standing in this place, they could easily see the busy people below.

The two of them were taking out different kinds of fruits from their pockets, including spicy walnuts, astringent kiwis, bitter Leba fruits, and sour Baya fruits. I saw the two of them talking back and forth with sinister looks on their faces.

"As long as these fruits are pressed hard into juice, it will drip onto the food of the cook below..."

"... Destroy the originally themed competition of 'sweetness' so that Musashi can win, nya!"

After a while, except for Musashi's food, everyone else's food had been tampered with without anyone noticing, except...

After Pipa made the sandwich and pushed it into the oven for baking, she picked up the tree fruit filling prepared by Hot Spicy Baby, brought it close to her nose and smelled it, and suddenly frowned and said in confusion.

"Weird! Why is there a hint of the astringent taste of kiwi fruit in this pot of sweet and fragrant tree fruit filling? Is it mixed in with the tree fruit that I chopped up for Hot Lava? It shouldn't be."

Time did not allow Piper to think. The only thing he needed to think about was how to remedy the situation. At this moment, it was too late to start another pot. Suddenly he caught a glimpse of the olives left alone in the round mold on the shelf. heart. Take it, remove the core, crush the pulp, filter out the juice, and sprinkle it into the stuffing that has been manipulated by Team Rocket and others to make it astringent.

"It's a league-level competition, and Shenbo Town and Yuanmo Town are brother towns. There are fresh olives from there. It's really unfair for you to be left out. This kind of bitterness brings out the sweetness. Method, thanks to Xiaozhi’s Mini Fu..."

In addition to Pipa, Dunzi also discovered it. When she was whipping the foaming cream, she would taste it briefly in every step. Her strict work attitude saved her. When she was licking the contents of the container in her hand, which she was going to pour onto the finished cake, a spicy taste ran across the tip of her tongue, stimulating her taste buds.

"Bah, bah! How can this be spicy? This taste..., this taste is..., the spiciness of Wuhuaguo! But why is this?"

Time was running out and she was not allowed to stop what she was doing. Suddenly she thought of something and went to the shelves alone to search. Finally, she found Tiantian under her search.

"There is no way, let's treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor. Fortunately, Master's bear cubs like to pick up and suck the sweetness, which made me think of using sweetness with a sweeter taste to cover up the spiciness on the basis of only honey... …”

Time ran out minute by minute, as host Sweet sounded the gong to announce that the game was suspended.

"At the end of the competition, all contestants stop their hand movements and wait for the three judges to come and taste one by one. Each person can give a score ranging from one to five stars. The full score is five stars for three people and a total of fifteen stars. They will score one by one and get points. The one with the highest score is the winner. The scoring phase officially begins..."

When the three judges passed by and tasted the other contestants' dishes, they were all spared. There was always a trace of sour, astringent, bitter, spicy, and salty flavors of unknown origin that they were unaware of, which ruined their "sweet taste". "Cuisine as a theme. Host Siweite explained off the court.

"It's really strange. The three judges all gave scores ranging from one to two stars, with a total of three to six stars, and none of them exceeded ten stars. As for whether any of the subsequent contestants scored higher than the previous contestants? Let's wait and see. .”

When the judges walked up to Musashi's cooking, the judges, host and audience were all stunned.

"What, in half an hour of cooking time, Contestant Maria Musashi presented only fried steamed bun slices dipped in a large can of condensed milk. The simple cuisine was completely different from the gorgeous dress she wore. , it’s incredible.”

Kojiro and Meowth in the audience said angrily.

"What! We worked hard to help you, and this is how you repay us, meow!"

"Ah... I just said that Musashi doesn't know how to cook!"

Ignoring Kojiro and Meowth's frenzy and the audience's surprise, Musashi said disapprovingly.

"What! In my childhood memory, fried steamed bun slices dipped in condensed milk are the most delicious food."

But when the three judges ate Musashi’s simple dish, they were amazed and commented.

"It's been a long time since I've eaten such a simple delicacy. It reminded me of my childhood."

Supporter Sweet explained.

"It's really surprising. I didn't expect that such a simple dish could get unanimously high scores from the three judges. Three points, four points, four points, a total of eleven points. Currently, the only contestant with more than ten points in the competition was born. !”

Musashi Maria said proudly.

"See, this is my strength!"

The scoring continued, and we came to Dunzi. The dish she made was a crystal clear and sweet honey cream cake, which was also favored by the judges.

"The sweet honey brings out the sweetness on the steaming cake. It's just right...but is the taste a bit too sweet?"

As expected, a large amount of sweetness was added to cover up the spiciness, causing the sweetness balance to be destroyed, and it didn't get high marks from Stefle, who doesn't like desserts very much.

"Unfortunately, the Dunzi contestant's cooking did not win the favor of the judge, Mr. Stefley. The final score was four points, two points, and four points, for a total of ten points."

Dunzi looked depressed after hearing this, while Musashi said smugly.

"Hahahaha, little girl is just a little girl, it's ten years too early to beat me!"

When the process came to Piper, he still just took out his sandwich, supporter Sweet explained.

"Oh my, I didn't expect contestant Pipa to come up with a sandwich that is suitable for meat or vegetarian food, but not suitable for dessert. How can such a mismatched taste be evaluated by the judges?"

Unexpectedly, the final result shocked everyone present.

"It's incredible. The sweet tree fruit jam does not conflict with the crispy sandwich. It is an unusual combination under the skillful hands of Piper. There is a hint of bitterness in the sweetness, and the layers are rich. It doesn’t create a layer of just sweetness, it complements each other.”

The final result was unexpected, the supporter said excitedly.

"It's so surprising. Contestant Paipa's cooking is bold and innovative, and unexpected. After the three judges tasted it, they all scored high scores, five points, four points, four points, and the final score was ten. Three points. The final winner appears, and he is Paipa!"

Musashi looked in disbelief.

"It's impossible, it's decided that it's impossible, something like this will happen."

Kojiro and Miaomiao felt weak in the audience when they heard this ending.

"What? I worked so hard, but in the end I lost."

At the end of the competition, under the cheers of the audience, Mr. Stepley, one of the judges of the conference and the director of the conference, awarded Pipa a promotion badge symbolizing "sweetness" and said.

"Congratulations, Pipa! We all like the Hui Gan sandwich dish you made. This is the 'Sweetness' badge awarded to you by the conference. You can also get the 'Taste' badges by collecting the other two flavors." Opportunity for the final competition. (But be careful not to obtain the same 'Taste' badge repeatedly, that is, you will not be able to participate in the 'Sweet' themed cooking sub-competition next time. Participate in time and win to get the badge, and be pre-qualified in the final competition. You can’t pass there either.)”

The convention ended with Piper receiving the "Sweetness" badge. Everyone walked out of the competition hall, and Dunzi said to Pipa.

"Congratulations, Pipa, but don't be proud, I will surpass you!"

After saying that, he left in a hurry. Musashi and the others were also in a place where Xiaozhi and the others could not see, and said angrily secretly.

"I'm so angry, you damn little devil. I'll win it back next time!"

Kojiro and Meowth asked with puzzled expressions.

"Then, what about our plan to agree to the Fire Bang Bang's plan?"

Musashi said as he walked away without looking back.

"I'm not in the mood. Let's settle the old and new accounts together next time."

Xiaoqing, who was still worried about Pipa's laxity, noticed that it turned out that Pipa was not too lax, but was affirming his cooking ability. In the field of sandwich cooking, he had few rivals. Thinking of this, Dunzi was secretly happy that she had a good rival with whom she could learn from each other and improve.

Ash congratulated Pipa.

"Congratulations, Pipa, you have qualified one-third of the way to the final competition."

Piper smiled and replied.

"It's just good luck... and Xiaozhi, next is your second gym challenge, so you have to work hard!"

Xiaozhi curled his lips and said.

"Hey! During Mr. Kosha's retreat to create, I still don't know when I can take on the challenge?"

When Cao Cao arrived, the staff at the front desk of the Shenbo Gym looked around eagerly. After seeing Xiaozhi, he ran over and said happily.

"Player Xiaozhi, I've been looking for you for a long time. The gym leader Kosha has finished creating it. Now we can have a gym challenge with you."

"Great, I'll go right away! Let me say thank you to Mr. Kosha."

The excited Xiaozhi was already eager to run towards the Shenbo Gym, and Xiaoqing shouted following closely behind.

"Xiao Zhi, Shenbo Gym is a grass-type gym. Have you thought of a countermeasure? Run there now."

Xiaozhi said disapprovingly.

"Although the fire type is more conducive to the challenge of the gym, Crocodile doesn't seem to like Pokémon battles, but I still have Pikachu, Teal, and Mini Fu? Don't worry, the boat will go straight to the bridge. .”

Xiaoqing and Pipa followed Xiaozhi with uneasy feelings, worried that Xiaozhi would have various battles.
