Chapter 282: Ado: Oh No, They're Coming for Me!
Chapter 282: Ado: Oh No, They're Coming for Me!
As night fell, Jinghe and his friends gathered to celebrate his success with a grand banquet.
"Cheers~"
The crisp clinking of glasses filled the room with laughter, accompanied by the tinkling of crystal.
The lively atmosphere inside contrasted sharply with the quiet and peaceful exterior.
Due to the large number of people and their Pokemon, the room was divided into three tables of different sizes.
Large-sized and big-appetite Pokemon like Gramps, Serena's Flame Bite Sharpedo, Ado's Dragonite, Charizard, Da Wu's Steelix, and Ditto sat at the largest table.
The table was piled high with Energy Cubes, Berries, Moo Milk, macarons, and various other treats.
Of course, there was also plenty of staple foods like white rice and noodles, along with various dishes.
Gramps held a large bowl of udon noodles and devoured them without restraint.
This bowl was merely an appetizer for him.
After finishing, he picked up a rice bowl no smaller than the previous one and filled it with a mountain of rice.
Gramps and Flame Bite Sharpedo watched the replay of the tournament, and whenever they saw an exciting moment, they would shovel rice into their mouths.
"Heng Ga~~()"
The perfect food to eat with rice!
Gramps and Flame Bite Sharpedo exchanged a glance and smiled at each other.
Time to eat~ (￣▽￣) `
"Teacher, I think your Gramps has an even bigger appetite than Cubchoo!" Yasha said, shrinking her neck as she watched Gramps' enormous bowl.
Jinghe forced a laugh, "Haha."
Honestly, Jinghe didn't know the limit of his purple-skinned Gramps' appetite.
The large bowl of white rice was the maximum capacity of the hotel's largest bowl, but it was far from satisfying Gramps' appetite.
Gramps and the other big eaters sat at one table, while Jinghe, Serena, Ado, Da Wu, Kona, and others sat at the medium-sized table.
As for the small table, it was naturally occupied by the children.
Ice Nine-Tails, Gigaforg, Hachubo, Bear Apprentice, and Eevee sat together.
Oh, and Ash was there too.
Although it was called the small table, the amount of food was second only to Gramps' table, making it the table for Pokemon with moderate appetites.
So, it was reasonable for Ash to be sitting there.
Ice Nine-Tails' appetite also increased significantly after evolving.
However, being shy, it ate at a moderate pace, but cleverly hid under its tail every time it ate, its cheeks puffed up.
It raised its head, its cheeks turning slightly red as it noticed everyone's gaze.
"Woof~~(//▽//)"
Serena's Eevee was curious about how Ice Nine-Tails ate, so it quietly lifted Ice Nine-Tails' tail and peeked underneath.
Compared to Ice Nine-Tails, Hammer Sister Forger was much more carefree.
She sat on a raised baby chair, holding a large spoon she had forged herself, and continuously scooped food into her mouth.
"Chomp~Chomp~~(っ)"
Hachubo sat with Mewtwo.
Although Hachubo knew it would evolve into Dragonite, this didn't diminish its closeness to Mewtwo.
Mewtwo was also very friendly towards Hachubo, as they were among the few Pokemon in the room without hands, relying on their tails.
"Koo~"
Bear Apprentice, who wasn't asleep, was also busily eating, its head down.
Winter was approaching, and it needed to stock up on food. The best way to store food was to eat it all and store it in its belly.
In its own words, it wouldn't bow down for five pecks of rice, but it would for one.
When it came to eating, Jinghe's five Pokemon combined could out-eat any other Pokemon in the room.
"The desserts in this hotel are quite good," Da Wu said with a smile as the waiters pushed carts of desserts towards them.
Today, the hotel staff had been thoroughly exhausted by this group.
Although they were only serving a small group, it was rare to see Pokemon like Gramps eating with such abandon.
After all, not everyone who stayed at this high-end hotel would let their Pokemon eat without restraint.
Moreover, Gramps' appetite was not something ordinary Pokemon could match.
"Hmm," Serena murmured as she eyed the vanilla and chocolate ice cream in front of her.
Should she choose vanilla or chocolate?
"In this cold weather, girls shouldn't eat ice cream," Jinghe said, bringing her a plate of creamy mousse mille-feuille.
"Alright," Serena agreed, nodding obediently, though a bit disappointed.
Then, Jinghe sent both ice creams to Geraldine's table.
Geraldine: ???
"Jinghe, you thief! I'll get you for this!" Geraldine stood up, gritting her teeth.
But Jinghe wasn't intimidated; he smirked and said, "If you want to challenge me, you must defeat my student first."
He patted Da Wu's shoulder, who was sitting on the other side.
Da Wu was puzzled by Geraldine's angry stare.
"Hmph!" Geraldine huffed, "Da Wu, I'll remember this grudge!"
Da Wu: ???
On the other side, Ado spun the table's lazy Susan and sent a bowl of ice cream to Kona's side.
"Old lady, you like ice so much."
Bang!!
Kona slammed the table, "You mutt, come out and fight me one-on-one!"
Seeing her posture, she seemed to have the attitude of a crow, ready to flip the table if Ado disagreed.
Future You, Da Ten, and Melanie, who were invited by Jinghe to freeload, and Gudrian, the runner-up of the Quartz Conference.
The three of them, weak and helpless, looked at each other.
This meal was eaten with great trepidation.
Everyone present was a big shot!
As expected.
Only Teacher Jinghe could get along with them, and it turned out that Teacher Jinghe should have gone to the Master League instead of participating in some League Conference.
The three could only focus on eating.
However, there was one person invited by Jinghe who seemed remarkably calm.
That was Xiao Lan.
She held a bag, eating while secretly stuffing food into it.
These were all expensive dishes; later, she could resell them and make a final profit at the Quartz Conference.
"Ahem."
Professor Oak coughed lightly twice and said, "Xiao Zhi, how about a quick quiz to test your knowledge of Pokemon?"
"Huh?"
Xiao Zhi, who had just failed in his attempt to snatch a chicken leg from his bear apprentice, looked up in confusion.
"A quiz?"
Seeing this, Jinghe sighed inwardly.
His bear apprentice had come a long way, able to snatch a chicken leg from a super newbie.
Professor Oak smiled slightly, "It's very simple Pokemon knowledge."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhi nodded vigorously and shouted, "Bring it on, Professor Oak!"
"What are the pure Dragon-type Pokemon currently known to exist in the Pokemon world?" Professor Oak asked.
Pure Dragon-type Pokemon? As the only senior present and an authority in the Pokemon research field, Professor Oak changed the topic, causing everyone who was about to fight to calm down.
Everyone pricked up their ears, pondering the question.
However, Xiao Zhi shouted confidently, "I know!"
He proudly counted on his fingers, "I've seen Mr. Ado, the Dragon Messenger's Pokemon—Charizard, Kingdra, and Aerodactyl!"
For a moment, the entire room became unusually quiet.
Pfft—
Someone couldn't hold back their laughter.
Ado's expression froze.
I thought Professor Oak was just changing the subject.
Well, it turns out it was directed at me?! Kona was the first to laugh out loud, saying, "Xiao Zhi, you're not bad."
"Of course!" Xiao Zhi raised his neck proudly, "I want to be a champion trainer like Teacher Jinghe!"
Professor Oak picked up his chopsticks and tapped Xiao Zhi's head lightly.
"All wrong!"
"Huh↑?!"
Professor Oak sighed, "It seems you didn't pay attention in Pokemon elementary school. None of the Pokemon you mentioned are Dragon-type!"
Xiao Zhi looked at Ado.
Ado tilted his head back in disbelief.
"Then what type are they?" Xiao Zhi retorted.
Jinghe smirked, "Flying-type."
"But their names all have 'Dragon' in them," Xiao Zhi muttered.
"Xiao Zhi," Ado said with a smile, "I think the method Sha Jia taught you before is good. It's quite empty outside; do you want me to take you for some practice?"
"Really?" Xiao Zhi looked innocent.
Seeing his expression, Ado opened his mouth but didn't know how to continue.
"Ahem." Jinghe coughed and said, "Xiao Zhi, if you have the chance in the future, you can come to the Cana Pokemon Academy for further studies."
Before Xiao Zhi could speak, Aunt Hana couldn't help but interject, "Thank you so much, Teacher Jinghe!"
However, the Cana Pokemon Academy was a higher education institution, a university. Given Xiao Zhi's personality, it was highly likely that he would leave school before even graduating from Pokemon elementary school and go on a journey.
As expected.
Xiao Zhi frowned upon hearing this. He indeed didn't enjoy attending classes at the Pokemon Academy.
Although there were some significant interruptions, overall, everyone at this celebration banquet seemed to be in good spirits.
They joked and played around.
After tonight, everyone would go their separate ways again, striving to achieve their goals.
Ado would continue his undercover mission with Team Rocket.
This undercover mission had given him a new perspective on Team Rocket.
Da Wu, Du Juan, Yasha, and Kona would have to return to complete their final exams.
Apart from Yasha, who might struggle, the others would find the exams a breeze.
Serena and Geraldine also needed to return to the Unova region. There were still some assignments left for Serena to complete, given by Professor Ki Zi Lan.
As for Jinghe, he would accompany Da Wu and the others back to Johto.
As a teacher, he could happily watch Da Wu and the others struggle with their exams.
But it wouldn't be easy for him either.
After the conference, the old principal personally called, stating that the academy's exclusive Nurturing House would be open in a few days, and Jinghe could go and choose the Pokemon he desired!
