Pokémon: I just became a Gym Leader, and Cynthia proposed to me.

Chapter 679 Using a borrowed knife to kill

Li Shuwen, along with the incredibly powerful Cynthia, went to a restaurant to celebrate.

After lunch, Li Shuwen specially brought two bottles of essential oils he made for Fighting-type Pokémon to visit Limone.

Cynthia understood Li Shuwen's actions; Limone was indeed an innocent victim.

When Limoy saw that the person who came was Li Shuwen, he was stunned for a moment.

"Mr. Li Shuwen, what brings you here?"

Li Shuwen said sincerely, "Mr. Limone, in your match against Cynthia today, Cynthia went a little too far."

"Because of what King Pakila said, she wanted to avenge me, which caused you to suffer an undeserved disaster."

Limone waved his hand, "It's alright. Today's match made me realize my shortcomings. I thought I had trained them to be quite excellent."

"But I only discovered today that there are still so many flaws!"

"Thanks to Ms. Cynthia, I have gained a whole new inspiration for raising Pokémon!"

"Speaking of which, I should thank Miss Cynthia for her help!"

Li Shuwen: "..."

Li Shuwen presented the essential oils, saying, "My family used to start out with Fighting-type Pokémon, and I've trained a lot of Fighting-type Pokémon."

"Using these two essential oils after training can effectively relieve muscle soreness, allowing you to recover to your peak condition the next day and continue training."

Limon's eyes lit up. He opened the lid, smelled it, and exclaimed, "This is great stuff! Thank you!"

Limone laughed and said, "I'm not the kind of person who can't accept defeat, but Pachira is petty. You two have now become bitter enemies."

Limone couldn't say it outright, after all, Pachira was also a Carlos.

Li Shuwen smiled slightly, "I will be careful."

"Mr. Limone, for our battle the day after tomorrow, I hope you can send out your strongest Pokémon to fight me."

"Although my strength is not as good as Cynthia's, I also have a Blaziken, which also possesses the power of Mega Evolution."

"Therefore, I hope to have a full-fledged sparring match with you."

Lemon's eyes lit up. "Does the Sinnoh region also have the power of Mega Evolution?"

Li Shuwen nodded, "Yes, but not as many as in the Carlos region."

The power of super evolution has been active in the Carlos region since ancient times.

Quite a few people actually know about it, but it has always been a closely guarded secret.

It wasn't until Dr. Blatano publicly shared information about Super Evolution with all the Carlos people that Super Evolution began to spread widely.

Li Shuwen even harbored a conspiracy theory, believing that Dr. Blatano's theory was not flawed, but rather that it harmed the interests of the old money families in the Carlos region.

He was ruthlessly persecuted and forced to leave the Carlos region. Even his research on super evolution was labeled as academic fraud.

Limony smiled slightly, "Don't worry, Mr. Shuwen, I will do my best!"

Li Shuwen's second opponent was Violet, who was skilled at using Bug-type Pokémon.

The battle against Violet was rather unremarkable.

He went all out against Pachira because Pachira had made disrespectful remarks.

Violet is just a young girl, and she hasn't offended Li Shuwen, so Li Shuwen naturally doesn't need to go all out.

What if the girl is traumatized by the beating?

After leaving the competition venue, Violet secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Her sister, Pansy, who was also a reporter, came over.

"How about it? I told you, Li Shuwen isn't the domineering type. He treats trainers very gently."

"The reason why we showed no mercy to Pachira yesterday was because Pachira went too far, showing no respect to the Sinnoh champion and the Midas Touch Li Shuwen."

Violet raised an eyebrow. "Sister, Pachira got beaten up in public, one against three. Does that mean you won't be sent to the Unova region for news reporting?"

"This Pachira, just because her journalism skills are not as good as yours, used her status and power as one of the Four Heavenly Kings to deliberately oust you."

Pansy sighed, "No, on the contrary, because of this failure, Pachira arranged my work ahead of schedule."

"Once this meeting is over, I need to head to the Unova region."

Violet snorted coldly, "This Pachira is only so-so in Pokémon battles, and he's not good at journalism either."

"You're quite adept at using scheming and trickery!"

Pansy smiled slightly, "It's alright. I'm also curious about the situation in the Unova region. But you need to take good care of yourself after I leave."

"Every year during the holidays, I will come back to the Carlos region to see you."

Violet frowned. "No, I have to go see Cynthia!"

"Since the information you've gathered shows that Sinnoh Champion Cynthia and Midas Touch Li Shuwen are very much in love, then Cynthia will definitely be willing."

"Let's teach Pakira a lesson!"

"Um... Sister, are you sure the Midas Touch is real? Then why didn't I feel anything when I fought him just now?"

Pansy spread her hands. "I think it's because Midas Touch didn't go all out, or even take it seriously. I even saw a bit of Grand Contest technique in his fight just now."

"For him, it's just an exhibition match, and it's a good opportunity for you to save face for the Carlos Federation."

Pansy's gaze shifted, "Tomorrow is his battle against Mr. Limone. He probably wants to go all out against Mr. Limone's Blaziken."

"So, I'm asking you to take care of the Carlos's feelings in advance."

"I don't know if you noticed, but in today's battle, you really showcased the charm of the three Kalos region Pokémon, including Butterfree."

Violet blinked. "What does this have to do with the Midas Touch? You're not suggesting that the Midas Touch is guiding me through the battle, are you?"

Pansy spread her hands. "Although I hate to admit it, my foolish sister, that's how it is. The gap between you two is so big that you don't even realize it."

Violet was provoked, "I don't believe it! I'm going to ask Li Shuwen!"

Watching Violet turn and run away, Pansy shook her head.

"My foolish sister, why did you go and humiliate yourself?"

Li Shuwen watched as the aggressive Violet ran over, initially assuming she wanted to question him about why she chose this method of fighting him.

Compared to a peaceful, mutually agreeable situation, Violet prefers a decisive and exhilarating defeat.

Violet's immediate response was, "You really held back in that fight just now?"

Li Shuwen naturally wouldn't admit it, "Of course not, there are differences in the strength of Pokémon, this is an exchange meeting."

"The focus is on showcasing Pokémon, not on winning or losing the competition."

Violet almost believed it.

"I don't care. Everyone says your Midas touch is amazing. I think I've been quite serious about training Pokémon, so it shouldn't be ineffective."

"Let's play another match!"

Before Li Shuwen could speak, Cynthia spoke up.

"Little sister, your older brother and sister are going on a date, so we don't have time to play house with you."

Violet looked at Cynthia and said, "You're the Sinnoh Champion, how about we have a match? You're definitely stronger than Pachira."

"Compared to yours, the results are just as good!"

Cynthia laughed. "Little sister, what grudge do you have against Pachira? You're using me as a tool to do your dirty work."

A flicker of surprise crossed Violet's eyes, then she quickly composed herself. "I don't understand what you're saying!"
