Chapter 409: Cake Battle, Act Fast or Miss Out!
Chapter 409: Cake Battle, Act Fast or Miss Out!
"Yo-ki! Yo-ki, yo-ki!"
The excited Tyrogue congratulated Jinghe and Charcoal Little Servant upon their return.
"Guka!"
Charcoal Little Servant, acting like a senior, gently patted Tyrogue's head.
In reality, they were almost the same height.
The battle between Jinghe and Dino concluded, setting an excellent start for today's preliminary rounds, and the audience was already fired up by Charcoal Little Servant's flames.
They arrived at the private room where Sharon and her team were.
"Congratulations, Teacher Jinghe!" Daye was the first to offer his congratulations, and the others followed suit.
"It's just a 64-player battle to advance to the top 32," Jinghe smiled, not overly concerned.
However, considering Daye's enthusiasm, he would forgive him for his mistakes next time.
Since there was nothing else going on, Jinghe joined them in watching the upcoming battles.
On the field, the scruffy-looking Guzma stood with his hand in his pocket, a disdainful smile on his face. He waved his hand lightly and said,
"Keross, send it off with Vice Grip!"
Keross viciously grabbed the opponent's Ballerina, and at such close range, Vice Grip had no chance of missing, dealing tons of damage to the opponent's Pokemon.
"The winner is Guzma!" The referee raised the flag.
"Ballerina!" The opponent rushed into the arena and picked up the severely injured Ballerina.
Guzma glanced at his opponent with scorn and mocked, "Battling is about destruction! If you're not prepared for this, just scram home!"
After saying this, he put his hands in his pockets, skipping the customary handshake, and walked away towards the player's passage.
"You're all trash, and your Pokemon aren't worthy of shaking hands with this young master!"
The audience was somewhat intimidated by Guzma's demeanor, but the Skull Team members occupying a section were going wild, cheering for Guzma.
It's safe to say that Guzma's actions earned him quite a bit of dislike.
However, there were still some spectators with a hidden violent streak who cheered for him.
After all, Guzma had also achieved a streak of three consecutive wins with just Keross, showcasing his overwhelming strength.
The subsequent battles didn't witness another streak of three wins.
However, there were still some interesting moments, like when the referee announced,
"The winner is Louis!"
The victorious burly man, holding an umbrella in his hand, pointed directly at the private room where Jinghe and his team were, making his intentions crystal clear.
He was challenging Jinghe! The entire arena was in an uproar.
The last person to provoke Teacher Jinghe in a tournament, Raiji, had been "tormented" by Gramps to the point of questioning his life choices.
"Are all the players nowadays this bold?" Daye cautiously swallowed his saliva and muttered.
Wusong couldn't help but glance at him.
Weren't you just as bold back then?
No, to be honest, Daye, you were even bolder than him.
You challenged the Big Sis over a hundred times.
However, Jinghe was thinking about something else.
Did this 'Louis' look a bit familiar?
Wasn't he one of Eileen's defeated opponents?
The one with Lie Yao Lu Qian?
"Teacher Jinghe, aren't you going to react?" Daye couldn't help but ask.
"Hmm?"
Jinghe snapped out of his thoughts and smiled, uttering four words.
"Bravery is commendable."
It's safe to say that the Sinnoh League knew how to stir up trouble.
On the first day of the tournament, they scheduled Jinghe's match as the very first one, creating a buzz.
If this was just a matter of luck, then the announcement of the second day's matches, the top 32 to top 16 battles, confirmed the Sinnoh League's love for creating a spectacle.
Jinghe vs. Louis!
They had arranged Louis, who had challenged Jinghe in the arena, for the very next day.
This move immediately skyrocketed the online hype.
"The top 16 matchup: Teacher Jinghe vs. Umbrella-wielding Louis!"
"Oh, ho, ho! What am I going to do? I'm already looking forward to tomorrow's match!"
"Which Pokemon do you think Teacher Jinghe will use? Gramps? Ice Nine-Tails? Or Swift Dragon?"
"I suggest Gramps! Not for any particular reason, I just want to see what a shattered heart looks like."
"What if, I mean, what if Jinghe gets defeated?"
"Yay! That would be even more fun!"
". "
The online netizens were typical onlookers, and the bigger the drama, the more excited they became.
To put it simply, this wave of attention was enough to satisfy the Bellflower Tournament and Louis's appetite for popularity.
The top 32 and top 16 rounds, which initially had relatively low viewership, saw a surge in popularity.
Of course, aside from Jinghe, this Sinnoh League tournament also featured many other outstanding players.
For instance, the one Jinghe was most concerned about was Dakudo.
He effortlessly achieved a streak of three wins, and the Pokemon he used was Darkrai!
As one of the few truly legendary Pokemon to appear in the League tournament, Dakudo instantly gained massive attention.
Additionally, Guzma, known as the "Emperor of Destruction," also caught people's attention with his arrogant attitude, scruffy style, and aggressive battling style.
These three received the most attention.
There was also the middle-aged man from the Fennel Region, known as the "Unquenchable Fireman" Karu.
And the contestant from the distant Galer Region, known as the "Hard Rock Crusher" Magua.
It's no exaggeration to say that the contestants in this Bellflower Tournament were exceptionally strong.
The online community unanimously agreed that this year's Bellflower Tournament was a treacherous affair, beyond the grasp of ordinary people!
Dino, having lost, suddenly felt much better about the situation.
In an interview, he shared, "Teacher Jinghe said that he won now, but the future is mine!"
The journalist interviewing him cautiously revealed, "During the Quartz Conference, Ota and Melanie also received similar evaluations."
Dino: "???"
The online discussion intensified, what was Teacher Jinghe up to?
"Left, a little more to the left, yes, yes, well done, Flame Monkey, Daye," Jinghe nodded in satisfaction.
In the vendor area of the tournament, there was a relatively remote shop.
Flame Monkey was perched on Daye's shoulder, hanging a signboard in the center of the stall's roof -
Sunlight Cafe!
Inside, the Ai Guan Shi siblings and Frost Milk Fairy were setting up the shop.
They displayed cakes and pastries, prepared earlier in Canaz City, in the display window and on the counter.
"You've worked hard," Jinghe said with a smile.
"Ai Yi~ \ (^▽^)/"
"Yi Ma.o(〃'▽'〃)o"
"Teacher, so you wanted them to open a temporary cafe here."
Da Wu, who brought the Ai Guan Shi siblings and Frost Milk Fairy, realized, "After all, the Bellflower Tournament is so popular right now."
Jinghe crossed his arms, looking at the shop before him, and nodded in satisfaction.
He could foresee that the popularity of the Bellflower Tournament would only grow.
As for the cafe in Canaz City, it would have to be temporarily closed.
First, they'd make a quick profit at the Bellflower Tournament.
Jinghe felt that his coffee and pastries would definitely be a hit!
"Not entirely," Jinghe said, gently patting Ai Guan Shi's sister's head. "After all, I promised the little one's request."
"Ai Yi~!"
"Hmm?" Da Wu was a bit confused.
"Let's go, I'll treat you to some pastries. Ai Guan Shi's culinary skills, combined with Frost Milk Fairy's cream, are simply the best!"
At this moment, Sharon was already inside the cafe, looking at the "Frost Milk Fairy" cake before her, spoon in hand, unsure of how to take a bite.
Was such a cute cake really edible?
The nearby Gramps, however, demonstrated by taking a bite of the "Frost Milk Fairy" cake.
"Guka!"
Charcoal Little Servant interrupted the about-to-eat Tyrogue, his face serious.
We should greet the guests first; it's the proper way to treat guests!
"Yoji?"
Tyrogue tilted his head, perplexed.
Charcoal Little Servant picked up a mint-scented "Frost Milk Fairy" cake and brought it to Daye and Flame Monkey's table, placing it solemnly in front of them.
Daye's eyes welled up with tears.
As expected of a Fire-type Pokemon, we have such affinity! I, as an expert on Fire-type Pokemon, am truly worthy! Look, he personally brought the cake to us!
"Thank you, thank you," Daye said, not finishing his sentence.
Charcoal Little Servant bowed to them and then took away the "Braided Sheep" cake in front of Daye and the "Call Dog" hotdog in front of Flame Monkey.
Sitting next to Tyrogue, Charcoal Little Servant placed a "Braided Sheep" cake for himself and a "Call Dog" hotdog for Tyrogue.
Daye and Flame Monkey looked at the cake in front of them, then simultaneously glanced at the two cakes being taken away, and a question mark appeared above their heads.
Daye & Flame Monkey: "???"
"Yoji!!" Tyrogue exclaimed.
I understand!
"Guka~" Charcoal Little Servant gestured for him to calm down.
Flame Monkey looked at Daye questioningly.
"Huh? (￢_￢)"
Is this your Fire-type affinity? Daye opened his mouth, momentarily at a loss for words, and could only silently exclaim:
As expected of Teacher Jinghe's Pokemon!
"Hurry up and eat, or Gramps and the others will finish them all," Jinghe urged Sharon and Da Wu.
This was a cake battle; the quick get, the slow get none!
"Such a cute cake, I feel a bit reluctant to eat it," Sharon whispered.
"Don't worry, I'll have Ai Guan Shi make more for you later!" Jinghe smiled.
"Ai Yi~" Ai Guan Shi brought over another plate of cakes.
Clang clang clang clang~ New product! Gramps Chocolate Pudding!
Sharon's eyes lit up.
"Heng ga!"
Gramps, his mouth full of cream, seemed to sense something and stiffly raised his head.
He looked at the "Gramps" cake, now split in two by Sharon's spoon, and then at Tyrogue, who had caught his gaze.
That look, as if he was contemplating whether the Gramps before him was real or just a pudding.
"Heng, heng ga."
