What exactly is a chef's obsession?

After Kashiwagi struggled for long, the chef who returned to Miareh revealed the answer through narration and black-and-white reminiscences.

To put it simply, it's just two words -

[Family].

The chef is not an orphan, on the contrary, his family is very wealthy, and his father is the CEO of a large company.

But the main business of the enterprise is very interesting.

It is a pre-made dish.

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

It belongs to Carlos's hottest catering industry at the moment.

The chef's house is the leader of the pre-made dishes, not only sold in the Carlos area, but also spread to the outside world.

Naturally, the chef's father wanted the chef to inherit the business, but the chef, who lived with his grandfather, who was a professional chef for many years, stubbornly believed that some pre-made dishes were evil.

This kind of thing will only make people unable to distinguish between good and bad food, and there is no meaning in existence at all.

At the same time, he believes that the western chefs who come out of the Western food training school are not so much chefs as machines, always making a dish according to the same ingredients and the same heat.

Replacing it with pre-made dishes is something else.

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 the Western food training school in the hope of breaking into a different world.

Helplessly, he thinks too highly of himself, and he will inevitably run into walls everywhere.

When he fell out with his family, he also said that he wanted to break through on his own, and he also presented Zhimi's classic quotes.

"Only by constantly worrying, researching, absorbing knowledge and practice, and working so hard in a down-to-earth manner, can we find the splendid, instantaneous beauty of cooking."

"This is something that can never be done by machine-made pre-made dishes that are seasoned by recipes."

The latter sentence is the chef's private goods.

Up here.

The memory killing in the picture is over.

Kashiwagi was in a complicated mood, he didn't expect the chef to have such an experience, no wonder he didn't want to turn back when he broke through the south wall, and turning back was equivalent to a compromise with the pre-made dishes.

So pre-made dishes are obsessions?

It doesn't look like so.

Kashiwagi saw the chef lying on the bed and kept saying "......", as if he was struggling with something, and understood that the chef's mentality had grown during his travels in the Carlos area, and he was no longer so hostile to pre-made dishes.

So how will he unravel his obsession?

Next.

The chef gave Kashiwagi answers.

[You go to your house to look for your father and ask to talk to him.] 】

[Your father agreed]

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

[You talked about the recent situation, and asked each other if they were healthy]

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

[You apologized to your father, saying that there is indeed a reason for the existence of pre-made dishes, and not all pre-made dishes are as worthless as he thought before]

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

[You tell him that the key seasoning that makes the food delicious is joy. If you enjoy the food with a happy smile on your face, you will feel several times more delicious. And seeing others smiling and tasting food is also the joy of the chef. In order to make other people and themselves happy and happy, there is no room for compromise.]

【You will definitely become a first-class chef and a strong trainer.】 You will be attending the Miarei Convention to prove your resolve.]

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

Long narration.

Inside, however, is filled with the will of a chef.

As he walked out of the company building, Kashiwagi saw the chef basking in the sun, and his duck popped out of his bag and jumped out.

The next moment.

The light of evolution enveloped the body of the Duck.

"But I'm obsessed......"

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

After these conditions were met, the Duck Duck, who represented the will of his soul, evolved into the Duck of Godda.

『Quack~』

Although the blue humanoid duck is not as fat as before, it still has the same lazy expression that can eat five meals a day.

——

The Miare Congress was held on time.

Although the chef did not get the super evolution, Kashiwagi knew that the chef would definitely get a good result.

The power of enlightenment has already manifested itself in him.

Really.

The chef made it through the three qualifiers very easily.

The chef is clearly the best of the eight badges among the trainers.

The ingredient manufacturing and solution team he holds not only has the ability to assist him in cooking, but also is extremely strong in terms of combat effectiveness.

From the queen bee to the coal turtle, it proves that so many of their usual glowing dishes are not eaten for nothing-

Through rapid nectar collection, she learned to be in the middle of thousands of flowers, and the leaves did not stick to the dodge stunt.

By digesting a large number of failed dishes, Kirby Beast has gained super tolerance and terrifying constitution.

By raising five Pokémon and bringing one person, master the stunt of how to get beaten and recover by [drinking milk].

By continuously fermenting various ingredients and tree fruits, the pot pot has a strong digestion and corrosion ability.

A coal turtle that has mastered the heat and realized the ability to control the temperature and burst out of the heat in an instant.

At last.

It is a Gotha duck that implements the will of the chef and is more like a superpower attribute Pokémon than a water attribute.

Although I don't have a headache due to the pressure accumulated by the trainer, I can still use the magic skill of "making the world feel the pain" when needed.

So is there a good chance that a chef will win the conference?

To be honest, Kashiwagi doesn't think it's big.

Because he doesn't have a single Pokémon that can defeat all the super evolutions.

The power of super evolution is something that no one can ignore, and in order to emphasize this point in the anime, the top four and even the top eight of the Miaret conference have super evolution.

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

It's Charizard and its Super Evolution Stone.

But no matter what the outcome is, the chef will continue to grow, whether it is on the training side or the cooking side.

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

When the chef made it through the preliminary round to the quarterfinals of the tiebreaker, the first player with a super evolution appeared.

The Pokémon used by the opponent is Mega Kairos, which puts the chef in a bitter battle.

Fortunately.

In Kashiwagi's expectant and nervous gaze.

The chef's Pokémon fought hard to defeat their opponents and successfully advanced to the semifinals.

In the semi-finals.

In the face of the mega hudi used by his opponent, the Gotha Duck erupted into a small universe, and with the blessing of the blue talent [If God Helps], he successfully beheaded him under the horse.

Seriously, if it weren't for the semi-finals and Kona, the miniskirt would definitely be able to easily play the semifinals.

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

It's a pity that this is the end of it.

The opponent's super evolution object in the tiebreaker, Bankiras, is a Pokémon with rock and evil attributes.

For the Gotha Duck, who doesn't know the eye of miracles, the evil attribute of Super Bankiras brings only a deep helplessness, and no matter how strong the spiritual power is, it will attenuate its effectiveness in the face of the evil attribute.

Even if there is no animation of absolute attribute restraint relationship, it cannot guarantee that the attribute phase will disappear under the premise that the strength of the two sides is equal or even one side is stronger.

Ultimately.

The Gotha duck, who had almost flipped the entire field over, fell under the sharp stone attack of Super Bankiras.

The end of the conference was announced.

The chef put his arms around the Gotha duck and looked at the sky, with only a little regret on his face and the will to keep going.

[You stopped at the runner-up, but you have proved your determination to your father, and let the Four Heavenly King Zhimi, who is watching 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 Heavens King Zhimi, he admires you for being such 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 your own restaurant in the future, carry forward the innovative cuisine, and the name ...... Let's call it 'Gotha Duck's Smile']

Gotha Duck: 『Quack~』

The blue, languid face disappeared from the light screen, and Kashiwagi spat out a cloudy breath.

The chef's story is much more complicated than the miniskirt, and it's a shame that he didn't win the tournament...... Is this thing so harsh?

Or do you need a more powerful talent to get, and will there be a talent in other colors after the blue talent?

Saying......

Did the chef's restaurant open? The timeline is before Ash arrives in the Carlos region, and although I don't know what time it is, it should have been a long time, right?

He opened his phone and searched for "Gotha Duck's smile".

As a result, he really found a three-star restaurant in Miare, and the restaurant sign shown on the picture was the lazy high-definition face of the Gotha duck.

It's no longer a pixel of a modular lake.

"It's already opened, it's still a three-star restaurant...... Kashiwagi sighed, understanding that the star of Pokémon World is the same as the Michelin star in his previous life.

Samsung stands for the highest level.

I hope I have a chance to try it, glowing cuisine.

As he imagined it, the rewards for this simulation jumped out.

[Fixed Reward: Move Learning Machine ×3 (Speciminable Attributes)]

[Fixed Reward: Chef's Cooking Memories - Magical Glow Cuisine: Stir-fry (Revisitable)]

……

[Choice Reward 1: Any Pokémon is increased by three levels (below Lv.70)]

[Selection Reward 2: Clues of the Pokémon that can be obtained (can be specified attributes, excellent)]

[Choice Reward 3: Skill - Mental Strength (Pokémon Acquisition Optional)]

[Choice Reward 4: Save the [Kind-Hearted] talent for the next round of simulation]

Reward 3 out of 4.

It's really three out of four, yes.

Kashiwagi rubbed his eyes several times and realized that he was not mistaken.
