"You're going to be a world champion?"

"I want to be a world champion."

Repeat the question and answer room.

Lokomoko and the sous chef looked at each other, their expressions different.

The latter felt that the reason given by Kashiwagi was simply too outrageous, and even if he wanted to refuse, there was no need to say so, so he really couldn't force them?

The former was silent, staring at the other party's calm and peaceful eyes, inexplicably recalling himself who had been kicked out of the academy.

Unwilling to bow his head, he vowed to become a powerful trainer and chef like the Four Heavenly Kings Zhimi, and resolutely embarked on the path of challenging the alliance.

I have worked hard all the way to this day.

"It's so nostalgic."

The corners of Lokomoko's mouth curled slightly, and he couldn't help but touch his pocket, where was his closest companion, the Gotha Duck.

“…… What are you doing now, honing your cooking skills during your travels? ”

He asked softly.

Kashiwagi thought for a moment, and felt that compared to when he was in Huangtie Town, his cooking level had indeed increased since he came out.

At least the non-stir-fried glowing dishes are slowly understood after they come out.

So he nodded.

Lokomoko smiled and asked again, "Would you like to learn how to cook with me with the smile of the Gotha duck one day?" ”

This sentence surprised the sous chef, and the other party's words just now were clearly refusal, right?

However, what he didn't expect was even more.

"If only you were willing to teach me then." Kashiwagi replied.

"Good!"

Lokomoko nodded, ignoring the sous sous chef's gaze, and continued, "But there's one thing I have to tell you - I'm sorry to agree to let you be a helper. As the head chef of this restaurant, I have to be accountable to the other guests and my partners.

"If you still want, you can stay in the kitchen and watch us make the food, and I can answer any questions you have. Can you accept it? ”

Is that really the case?

Although Kashiwagi had thought about this situation in his heart, he still felt a little sorry to hear Lokomoko say this.

Fortunately, the rainbow egg roll had already fulfilled his little wish.

Even if you can't cook with Lokomoko right now, it's not unacceptable.

He replied, "Of course, Mr. Lokomoko." ”

"Thank you."

Seeing that Kashiwagi agreed, Lokomoko was also relieved, and he put away his smile.

"But in the kitchen, you'll have to call me Chef!"

"Yes, Chef."

"Just now, the sous chef commented on your rainbow egg roll from the perspective of taste, so now I will comment from the perspective of the chef."

Lokomoko lifted four fingers and pressed one down with each word.

"One, the separation between juice and jam is not meticulous enough, this is not a home meal that you can fool around, and you are not allowed to leave me with any dregs!"

"Second, egg roll dyeing is divided into three steps, and you only do two steps to achieve the predetermined color, which is too much for you to add in a single time, so that the taste will not appear layered."

"Three, the egg rolls are getting old, because your pot holding habits are very poor, like when I first started traveling."

"Four, I said not to change my recipe at will, even if it's just the light taste, you don't think it's just right for my guests!"

It's like he's criticizing a novice chef, and the white paper in his hand details the different tastes of Ash and the others.

These were collected by the waiters through inquiry.

Kashiwagi is irrefutable, he really didn't think about this, and only made it to his own taste.

"I appreciate people who have ideas for cooking, but until then the point is to respect the guests, remember that the guests are not your experiments, you go to the side and watch me do it carefully," said Lokomoko. ”

"Okay."

He didn't say a word and gave up a space with the happy egg, but fortunately, the kitchen took into account the interaction between people and Pokémon, and the aisle was very spacious.

“happy~”

Happy Egg tries to squeeze further to the side to avoid affecting the trainer.

Kashiwagi hurriedly held down this guy, the space was already very large, and it was easy to break other things in the kitchen if he squeezed it again.

“……”

The sous chef had a strange expression, he didn't know how he had developed to this point, and he grabbed his friend's sleeve and whispered, "Lokomoko!" Do you really believe it? ”

"Do you believe that I want to be the King of the Four Heavens?"

Lokomoko asked calmly, turning his head.

The sous chef's expression was slightly exaggerated, "Of course! It's your dream! Why don't I believe it? You mean he's just like you? You're not like him! ”

"Yes, we are not the same, he should be one step closer to my dream than me."

Lokomoko turned on the faucet, carefully cleaned his palms, and said:

"At least I used to shout loud slogans but I was very confused, more to give myself a motivation to move forward. And there was only determination and confidence in his eyes, and for that alone, he was much better than me. And I didn't have much time to learn how to cook with others, and if I didn't need time to settle down, I would have turned down Shimi's invitation. ”

The sous chef stopped talking.

But he felt like his worldview had been refreshed, a boy who claimed to be a world champion, and a chef who believed in boys, who was his boss and friend.

Suddenly.

Someone stabbed him in the back.

The sous chef turned his head to see a colleague quietly handing over his phone.

He looked down at the screen, then quickly looked up at the cypress not far away, and then lowered his head to compare, gasping.

"Shhhh

"What did he show you?"

Lokomoko glanced at his phone out of the corner of his eye, and asked when he couldn't see it clearly.

The sous chef walked over him directly and said with some skepticism, "You're a top coordination trainer?" ”

"Well, I just became one four days ago." Kashiwagi replied honestly.

"Are you going to win the Hoenn Alliance Conference? You're not a participant in the Miarei Convention, are you? ”

"Well, after this meal, I'll concentrate on preparing for the race."

“……”

The sous chef's face twisted like bitter melon.

On the page handed by a colleague, Hoen's media compared Kashiwagi to the next generation of Mikoli.

He may not have known who Mikkeli was in the past, but when he came here last year to taste the glowing cuisine, the fans almost blocked the winter avenue.

He got it.

The next generation of Mikoli.

The sous chef didn't say anything, just gave Kashiwagi a thumbs up to hide the little shame in his heart.

He's not the kind of person who doesn't let go until someone else actually reaches the top, and being a top coordination trainer has proven the talent of the other person.

What's more, the cypress wood also shines in cooking.

"Hahahaha! So you weren't competing in Miare, but from somewhere else? Lokomoko was delighted and said, "Don't worry, I'll give you a meal you'll never forget!" ”

It took half an hour to toss.

Lokomoko finally kicked off the celebration.

First up is the familiar appetizer – the rainbow omelet.

The dazzling golden light was extremely dazzling, far exceeding the one made of cypress.

“happy~”

Happy Egg couldn't help but raise his little hand to block his vision.

It's so flashy!

It's enough to make people exclaim, this is definitely a pound of fluorescent.

Lokomoko nodded with satisfaction, and deliberately handed over the share that belonged to Kashiwagi and Happy Egg directly, "Taste, what's different from yours." ”

"Thank you."

The latter pinched the egg roll, looked at the happy egg that had also been pinched up, and stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it gently.

The next moment.

He covered his face.

The happy egg next to him could not resist the pleasure from the inside out, and the small wings on the shoulders moved as if they were about to fly.

Of course, it certainly can't fly.

But it's enough to see how delicious this egg roll is.

And Kashiwagi was completely immersed in the shock of the egg roll, this kind of feeling that can make the taste buds explode, he experienced it last time.

This time it's even clearer!

"Hmph."

Lokomoko smiled proudly, how could he be worthy of Kashiwagi's respectful attitude from beginning to end if he didn't make two moves?

Other than that.

He also hopes that Kashiwagi can really win the Hoenn Alliance Conference and not stay at the last step like he once did.

As a chef, Lokomoko hopes to pour his encouragement into today's cuisine.

In the kitchen, the chefs and Pokémon look at each other.

"The chef is so serious today."

"After all, I was the first to learn how to cook with glow."

"I think it might be more than that."

"Don't worry about that, since someone can learn the glow cooking, maybe it proves that our chances are not zero, everyone work hard!"

"Okay! Sous Chef! ”

The voices of the chefs kept their heads engrossed.

The day of the end of the Miarei Conference.

Winter Boulevard, the smile head office of the Gotha duck.

Young boys and girls were treated to the best of the year with the dedication of the chef and the rest of the chefs.

One of the most touching customers is the happy egg in the kitchen who eats from beginning to end and cries from beginning to end.

Its trainer is silent, taking in all the sensations he has tasted in his heart, and his consciousness follows his taste buds to a new world of food.

It's like spreading your wings and soaring.

——

Satiated.

The crowd was in front of the store and ready to disband.

Ash excitedly said that he wanted to come and watch his game, but Kashiwagi refused.

Because more important to this guy than to watch his games is to cherish the little time he has left with Citron, Yurika and Sarina.

A word to wake up the dreamer.

The League Conference and the Triple Crown Satellite Masters have come to an end.

Ash and the other four temporary travel teams are about to disband, and each of them will return to their own familiar places.

The sadness of parting suddenly enveloped them.

Hikari and Gang are used to traveling with Ash, separating and occasionally reuniting, but Citron is obviously not used to it.

"And you've just become a conference winner, and you still have a lot of work to do."

Kashiwagi patted Ash on the shoulder and said, "We'll see you next time, I believe it won't be too long." ”

Let's talk about it.

Khopa was very thoughtful to open the light wheel to the city of Larousse.

"The little white door is open for you~"

He stepped in, and Xiaoguang and Xiaogang also said goodbye to several people in turn and walked in, leaving the young boys and girls behind them to stand in place inexplicably sad.

The real communication with the chef fulfilled Kashiwagi's small wish.

This made him fantasize about whether he would be able to meet calligraphers, musicians, etc. in the future, and unlike the old fragrance sister, many simulated objects still exist in the world.

"Let's get ready for the game first."

Kashiwagi put aside distractions.

There is still about a week before the Caiyou Conference, and theoretically his participation in this kind of competition is almost to fried fish, but the question is whether he is the only one who blows up this fish pond?

The lesson of the beast man Daktor told him not necessarily.

In the anime world, second-level gods such as the Three Divine Pillars, the Three Divine Birds, the Three Holy Beasts, and even the Red and Blue Water Pillars belong to the types that can be mastered by trainers and brought out to compete.

He wondered if he would also meet an opponent who would fight with the Divine Beast.

For this reason, Kashiwagi has been working with Polyman II for the past two days to collect information on the Internet about the outstanding trainers in the Hoenn region for the past year.

Avoid a "Tongtian generation" who comes to fry fish like him.

As a result, this check really found a lot of familiar trainers.

One of them is mostly a dragon cancer girl who has fought before-

Alice.

A person who claimed to be a gym cleaner complained online that she was moving like an overactive ape.

In addition, there are descriptions of physical appearances with a strong sense of déjà vu, such as black and thick hair, tan skin, and so on.

It's almost certain.

So after she went to Meteor Falls, she suddenly decided to participate in the alliance conference?

Having grown to the regional championship level in just three years, Kashiwagi is intrigued by how much Alice has gotten stronger these days, at least in the last fight, and the latter's shortcomings were obvious.

Coupled with some other people who have a strong sense of déjà vu, he is more and more looking forward to the next conference.

The day after returning from Carlos.

After exchanging all the points, Kashiwagi left the city of Larousse with Xiaoguang and Xiaogang.

No way.

Before heading to Caiyou City, he had to go back to the Liuli Gym.

After he got the trophy, he didn't officially report the good news to Adam and Mikkeley, and they refused to invite him to the celebration banquet with the power of Hupa-

Michaeli seemed to want to come, but was stopped by Adam with a cough.

The reason is not to mix with the gathering of young people and not to steal the limelight from the protagonist.

To be honest, Kashiwagi thinks that Mikoli is quite young and steals the limelight...... It's really possible, how high the gold content of Mikeli is, and everyone in the gorgeous competition world knows.

He didn't care, but Adam cared very much, and even Lucia agreed with it.

I had to give up and continue to invite the disappointed Mikli.

It's also wonderful, the three generations of the ancestors and grandchildren of the Liuli Daoguan are his "teachers" to be precise, so that he seems to be the youngest one in the open and in the dark.

Could it be that he is classified as the fourth generation?

Unlikely.

The cypress pondered on the steamer crossing the sea, and the big-mouthed baby looked down at the railing, and in the sea outside, Bogaman was making fun of it by diving in a fancy way.

A warm afternoon with the sun shining.

Ruri City has arrived.

Xiao Gang stepped on the familiar land and sighed a little emotionally, "It's really smooth, take a car from Larousse City to Shuijing City and then board the boat, nothing happened in between." If you're traveling with Ash, you'll either get lost on another island, or you'll be caught in a storm or your ship will be forced to anchor in the sea. ”

"When you say that, it seems to be ......."

Xiaoguang nodded matter-of-factly.

I don't know whether to say unlucky or lucky, traveling with Ash always encounters all kinds of strange things, and traveling alone is not so unexpected.

Kashiwagi shrugged, he also thought that he would encounter something different when traveling with Xiaoguang and Xiaogang.

However, in the end, Ash is the real thing, a single branch trigger.
