Chapter 543 Hehe, it's my turn to drive the Jeep!
The restaurant that Li Shuwen took Lihua to was naturally the one run by Chef Caibo.
Throughout the entire Sinnoh region, Li Shuwen believed that few people were better cooks than Saiba Joichiro.
Inviting Rinka to a meal at Saibo Cuisine is definitely the ultimate treat.
Of course, Li Shuwen didn't forget to invite Li Fei, A Kai, Xin Yue, and A Jin to the restaurant for a meal.
Although it was a thank-you dinner, Li Shuwen is now a married man, so they had to avoid any appearance of impropriety.
When Chef Caibo saw Li Shuwen bring such a beautiful woman as Lihua to dinner, he looked at her with a strange expression.
No, kid, you already have a girlfriend like Cynthia, why are you still bothering other girls?
Especially the pear blossom's temperament, although it has become somewhat restrained.
But Chef Caibo, who has seen countless people, could tell at a glance that Rika was no ordinary person.
Getting involved with a girl like Rika carries a very high risk of unlocking the hatchet ending.
Of course, given Li Shuwen's physique, an ordinary woodcutter's knife shouldn't be able to cut through his neck.
Li Shuwen could tell from Chef Caibo's expression that he had misunderstood, so he quickly showed off the Eevee in his arms and said, "The little guy was accidentally caught by poachers."
"Miss Rika saved him, so I specially invited Miss Rika to have a meal here. After all, Chef Saiba's cooking skills are unparalleled in Sinnoh."
"Chef Saiba must give it his all to entertain Miss Rika."
Chef Caibo frowned. "Someone actually dared to break into Veilstone City and steal the Veilstone City Gym Leader's Pokémon!"
"These are no ordinary poachers; we must crack down hard!"
On their way here, Li Shuwen and his group had already handed over the poachers to Miss Officer Jenny.
Miss Officer Jenny will take good care of them and extract all valuable information from them.
Li Shuwen asked Miss Junsha to find out about the nearby underground black market.
Li Shuwen intends to clean up these underground black markets one by one.
They really treat him like a nice guy!
Chef Cai Bo patted Li Shuwen on the shoulder and comforted her, "I know you're angry, but don't make the wrong decision in a moment of impulse."
"In the past, Shuwen, you always liked to plan ahead before taking action, but now, your behavior is becoming more and more direct."
"You've become exactly like your father when he was young. Except for being as beautiful as your mother, you're no different from that gorilla Li Dazhuang."
"You mustn't pick up his bad habits."
Li Shuwen frowned slightly. Hearing Chef Cai Bo's words, Li Shuwen realized that his thinking had indeed become simpler recently.
There's a hint of that saying: if a road is blocked, use your fists to open it up.
Indeed, his physique became increasingly stronger, and the power contained in his fists continued to increase.
However, in battle, you can't rely solely on brute force without using your brain.
Despite possessing extraordinary intelligence, they always rely on superhuman strength to solve problems.
The likely result is that they will keep falling into the traps prepared by the enemy.
Chef Caibo returned to the kitchen to prepare the dishes.
After sitting down, Pear Blossom said calmly, "Mr. Shuwen, you're just too cultured. What's wrong with solving problems through force?"
Li Shuwen smiled and replied, "Using force to solve problems can indeed resolve them quickly, but ultimately, is it the problem that's solved, or the person who raised the problem?"
"Sometimes, we need to learn to use our brains to find the best solution."
Pear Blossom seemed to be deep in thought, recalling that Uncle Liu had also said that she was very smart, but she just didn't like to use her brain and always wanted to solve problems in the fastest and easiest way.
Li Fei and his three companions arrived at the restaurant soon after, also covered in sweat.
As soon as Ah Kai came in, he apologized to Li Shuwen, "I'm sorry, Master, it's my fault for not keeping a good eye on everyone!"
Li Shuwen patted Akai on the shoulder, "These are not your problems, sit down and eat."
Akin also spoke up, saying, "I'm sorry, Master. It was my fault for not guiding and educating Pikachu properly."
Li Shuwen also asked A Jin to sit down, saying, "It's a good thing that young people are outgoing and a bit impetuous."
"This matter concerning Eevee has little to do with you or Pikachu."
Xinyue wanted to say something, but Li Shuwen waved his hand and said, "This matter has even less to do with you. Sit down and eat."
I learned that Rika came from the Johto region and was already trying to become one of the Elite Four, and was almost successful.
Ah Kai and the other two looked at Pear Blossom with eyes full of admiration.
A fighting spirit flashed in Li Fei's eyes. "Miss Pear Blossom, after dinner, would you have the honor of a duel with me?"
Li Shuwen chimed in, "My cousin had a lot of new and interesting Pokémon when he came back from the Unova region."
"Moreover, he was the runner-up in the regional tournament. After my training over this period of time, his progress has been quite good. It would be a good opportunity for Miss Rika to give him some guidance in his cultivation."
The regional tournament champion's strength is not actually that much different from that of the gym leaders and the Elite Four.
For example, Alain, the champion of the Carlos Regional Tournament, has made it into the ranks of the eight masters.
For example, Li Fei, with his current strength, would have no problem securing a spot on the road to the championship.
The chances of winning against the Four Heavenly Kings are slim, but you can at least fight for more than ten rounds and won't be killed in one move.
Pear Blossom and Li Fei are indeed suitable opponents.
Pear Blossom glanced at Li Fei, "Since Mr. Shuwen has said so, let's play a three-on-three match after dinner."
Chef Caibo began serving the dishes, and Rika was immediately surprised when she tasted them. She was amazed that the food could be made so delicious.
She was surprised that she could taste the care and attention Chef Caibo had put into making this dish.
There's a feeling that the fish on the plate has made the most of this life.
They even experience the joy of transforming into a fish and swimming freely in the ocean.
Pear Blossom could only sigh, "No wonder it's the City of Veil, where the Midas Touch is located; it truly is a place of outstanding people and abundant resources."
There are just too many talented people.
Judging solely from her intuition, Lihua felt that Li Shuwen's three apprentices were all quite good.
The boy with the brightest eyes looks a lot like her when she was little.
That little girl had bright, intelligent eyes, much like the first impression Yishu gave her.
Finally, it's Akai's turn.
At first glance, Pear Blossom thought this kid was nothing special.
However, upon closer observation, Pear Blossom could sense a vibrant life force emanating from Akai.
Pear Blossom cannot be 100% certain about the future of Li Shuwen's three apprentices.
However, judging from her current perspective, Akai's future achievements will most likely be the most brilliant among his three disciples.
As for Li Fei, he also possesses a unique charisma.
But he's still very immature. If Li Fei can hone that quality...
Perhaps, Li Fei can become a Four Heavenly King level expert.
But if he gets dulled or broken, then Li Fei's current state is his limit.
The reference figure is Xiaogang's father, who aspired to become one of the Four Heavenly Kings, but ended up selling stones for pressing kimchi on the roadside in a sorry state.
He was terrified when he fought against his own wife.
Unbelievable! This is the performance of a trainer who has the courage to challenge the Elite Four.
After the meal, Li Shuwen took Li Hua to the Curtain Dojo.
The venue here is more suitable for Li Fei and Li Hua to play three-on-three.
Their commotion might be quite loud, damaging Pokémon Centers or battlegrounds in parks, and disrupting children's playtime.
Those young children, perhaps not even ten years old, like to spend their weekends, or even evenings after school, using their pocket money to contribute to the young trainers.
Some trainers will use a little trick in their battles.
But not too many.
It would cost at most a few hundred yuan, the price of a luxury meal.
You could even use vouchers for a lavish meal as a gimmick.
Some children whose families grow fruit trees bring a basket of oranges to the competition.
They would play battles all day and then go home with empty baskets on their backs.
As for Chengchengguo, of course, he lost everything.
However, many trainers who obtained Orange Berries said that their Pokémon tasted good after eating them, so they went to the children's houses to buy more and take them with them to eat on the road.
Li Shuwen had no idea whether the child was genuinely addicted or using this method to promote the family's fruit.
Win and you'll get ten premium oranges.
The three children watched Li Hua and Li Fei's battle intently, and cheered loudly for Li Fei before the battle began.
Ah Jin waved her arms, shouting, "Beautiful big sister, you can do it too!"
Li Shuwen shook his head. This guy, A Jin, is so young and already likes pretty girls. I wonder if he'll still be able to focus on training Pokémon when he gets older.
If Ajin really manages to breed a golden Gyarados, Li Shuwen estimates that Ajin will have to use the golden Gyarados to pick up girls.
After all, most girls can't resist the temptation of a golden Gyarados carrying them around in the sky.
I just hope that if Ah Jin causes any trouble in the future, he won't reveal that his master is Li Shuwen.
Li Shuwen originally thought that Li Fei could at least confront Li Hua head-on for a while.
Unexpectedly, Li Fei suffered a series of defeats.
Li Fei's mental attack method had absolutely no effect on Li Hua.
Pear Blossom's wild fighting style completely overwhelmed Li Fei.
The wildness of pear blossoms can, to some extent, be considered a kind of idea.
This ruthless fighting spirit, cultivated in harsh environments, did indeed have a crushing effect on Li Fei, a flower that had grown up in a greenhouse.
If Li Fei loses one Pokémon, Li Hua will exchange it for another.
After the battle, Rika felt much better.
Pear Blossom was in a good mood, naturally because Li Fei was strong enough.
If the opponent isn't strong, you won't have such a good feel for the game.
Li Fei, however, was somewhat withdrawn.
Back in the Unova region, Li Fei hadn't realized there was such a huge gap between him and the Elite Four.
Even before Pear Blossom became one of the Four Heavenly Kings, she was already able to beat him so badly that he was powerless to fight back.
Li Fei dared not imagine how powerful the real Four Heavenly Kings must be.
Li Shuwen was somewhat embarrassed; his battle with Lihua had awakened Lihua.
Rika's heart underwent a transformation, and her Pokémon began to change as well.
The same three Pokémon fought with significantly more ease and control compared to when Li Shuwen battled.
It can be said that Li Shuwen ruined Li Fei's life.
Li Shuwen led the applause, "What a fantastic battle! Miss Rika's current strength is enough to make her one of the Four Heavenly Kings, isn't it?"
Rika smoothed her hair. "Probably, but I'm still no match for Wataru. At most, I can put up a fight with Kona."
"And it's not even a sure win against Kona."
Li Fei blinked. The way he said that made it sound like Kona was some weak Elite Four member.
Lorelei, who is proficient in both water and ice attributes, is a very formidable opponent among the Elite Four in various regions.
Although, after A-Du took his tactics, which hadn't been updated for many years due to his obsession with fighting illegal activities, to participate in the Eight Masters competition, he unfortunately lost.
It seems that the Four Heavenly Kings of Kanto have become a weak combination.
However, the Four Heavenly Kings of Kanto are actually very powerful.
Think about it, even though Adu's lineups have already been rotated out of the meta, he can still reach Master 8. Doesn't that prove that Adu is actually very strong?
There's no mechanism; it's just a matter of brute-force numerical data.
Pear Blossom did not linger. "Thank you for your guidance, Mr. Shuwen. I plan to visit the major cities in the Sinnoh region to experience the local customs and culture."
"I'll take my leave now."
After Li Hua left, Li Fei still sat in the corner, looking somewhat pale.
Li Shuwen walked over and handed a key to Li Fei.
"Here's the key to the Jeep."
Upon hearing the word "jeep," Li Fei's eyes immediately lit up.
"A Jeep! Hehe, finally it's my turn to drive a Jeep!"
Li Fei stood up, looking refreshed. "Brother Wen, who are we training today? Kai?"
Li Shuwen shook his head. "No, the Jeep won't help Akai much. Akai doesn't need the Jeep as an incentive."
Li Fei looked at Xinyue, "Seriously? You want me to run over a little girl like Xinyue with my Jeep?"
Crescent Moon raised an eyebrow. "So what if you're a girl? I'm a good fighter too! Watch out, or I'll blow your tires out with one arrow!"
Li Fei immediately shrank back. "That's not what I meant. I mean, I can't bring myself to do it."
Li Shuwen smiled slightly, "Don't worry, the person you need to train is A Jin."
Akin froze. Yesterday, he had helped clean the dust off the jeep and was wondering why there was so much sand on the vehicle.
As it turned out, Kai told him that it was because Li Fei rolled on the beach and then rolled on the jeep.
What kind of training would cause a person to roll onto the hood of a jeep?
Ah Kai described the scene vividly, and Ah Jin couldn't help but gasp in shock.
Upon hearing that he would be training today, Ajin's legs began to tremble uncontrollably.
"Master...Master, didn't you say you wouldn't blame me and Pikachu?"
Li Shuwen waved his hand, "I'm having you do jeep training not because of that, but because of your flirtatious mouth."
"It will get you into trouble sooner or later. When that happens, you'll need a strong body to avoid danger."
"That's perfect. At home, Xiaofei won't really knock you flying, but outside, that's a different story."
Ah Jin's lips twitched. It's only natural to compliment a pretty girl, isn't it?
Li Shuwen patted A Jin on the shoulder, "You have great potential, just like a golden carp king."
"The jeep is your dragon gate; jump over it, and you'll transform into a dragon!"
With a long face, A-Jin said, "Master, actually, I don't think there's anything wrong with being a Magikarp that just eats and sleeps all day."
Akin wanted to escape, but he couldn't.
Li Fei enthusiastically put his arm around his neck, "Elbow, Ah Jin, I'll take you to training!"
"Don't be shy, I'll use all my skills and knowledge to train you! I promise to pass on everything I've learned these past few days!"
