Chapter 88: I'll Take You On
Chapter 88: I’ll Take You On
The Coal Turtle Barbecue Restaurant was adorned with a fiery theme throughout.
The walls were a deep red, with some areas deliberately scorched for effect. Fire-type Pokemon patterns, portraits, and sculptures were everywhere.
In one of the private rooms of the barbecue restaurant, Jing He, Cynthia, Archer, and Sakura sat across from each other, their expressions somewhat peculiar.
Especially Archer and Sakura.
They both glanced at Jing He’s side, where Cynthia sat, casually dressed in a relaxed outfit with long golden hair, her eyes curved in a smile as she played with her Glaceon and Eevee.
Is this really Cynthia?
Despite being in different regions, the young elite trainers had some interactions, even battles, with each other. They all had a good understanding of Cynthia’s strength.
Moreover, Cynthia had a significant online following, making her quite famous.
But they had never heard of Cynthia going out to eat alone with a man.
She was usually seen dining with her close friend Caroline or with Kate.
The relationship between Cynthia and Jing He...
“Archer, you should introduce us,” Jing He suddenly said with a smile.
He noticed the odd looks from Archer and Sakura and guessed they were misinterpreting the situation. So, he decided to take the initiative and ask about Sakura’s identity.
Archer was taken aback for a moment before he reacted and introduced her:
“Sakura, my cousin, and the current Gym Leader of Smog City.”
Jing He’s eyes brightened. “Another Dragon Messenger from the Dragon Clan.”
Sakura scrunched her nose and gave a light “Hmm.”
It was clear that her attitude toward Jing He wasn’t very friendly.
Jing He could guess the reason.
Sakura had always had a crush on her cousin Archer.
He and Cynthia were, in a way, intruding on their "date."
Although it wasn’t intentional, Sakura’s fiery temper and large personality made her reaction more intense.
“Is this...”
After introducing Sakura, Archer asked, his gaze shifting between Jing He and Cynthia.
“You’re not unfamiliar with Cynthia, right? Like you, she’s a ‘patient’s’ family member.”
“‘Patient’s’ family member?”
Archer’s expression cleared up.
“I see.”
He then said, “Let’s get the barbecue started. I think Gengar over there is getting a bit impatient.”
“Nyaa~”
Gengar, with its tongue hanging out, drooling and tearing up, seemed to say, "Finally, you’ve noticed me. I’m starving!"
With that, Archer rolled up his sleeves and, along with Jing He, placed slices of fresh meat on the volcanic stone grill.
“I see...”
Sakura muttered to herself, sarcastically.
“I see, it’s all about Gengar!”
She found her cousin’s lack of social skills frustrating.
Sizzle—
The charcoal and volcanic stone sizzled as the aroma of the searing meat spread.
Once the meat was cooked, Jing He and Archer placed it on a plate and continued to add more slices.
“Nyaa~”
Gengar’s eyes darted around craftily. While Jing He and Archer were busy grilling, it quickly grabbed the tongs and distributed some meat to Cynthia, Sakura, Glaceon, and Eevee. Then, with a swift flick of its tongue, it gobbled up the remaining meat.
“Nyaa! (O_O;)”
“... Isn’t it too hot?”
Jing He was speechless, almost as if he had been neglecting Gengar.
“Nyaa (;Д｀)”
Gengar’s tongue, already crimson, turned even redder, with blisters forming on it.
Jing He gently patted his forehead.
"Clumsy."
He took out a healing spray and tossed it to Ghiston, letting it handle itself.
"Ow."
At this moment, the small six-tailed Pokemon gave a low cry.
G histon was about to spray his own tongue.
"Once you're full, we'll see."
The small six-tailed Pokemon, along with Eevee and Hiro na's roasted meat, gently let out a sigh.
The air conditioning was more chilling than the cold air, and the roasted meat instantly stopped being hot.
"Thank you."
Hiro na smiled faintly and patted the small six-tailed Pokemon's head.
"Ow, ow."
The small six-tailed Pokemon shyly lowered its head, its tail wagging vigorously.
"Mou, mou!! (PД`q。)·。'゜"
Ghiston's face was full of tears.
The small six-tailed Pokemon forgot about the "function."
While eating, the four of them gradually warmed up to each other.
"Once we're done eating, do you have any plans?" Adu suddenly asked.
Hiro na, who had a choice paralysis, was a bit "dazed" by this question.
Upon hearing A du's question, Jing He knew what was coming.
He was afraid of saying "go home and sleep," and a du immediately suggested:
"Go to the gym battles?"
In the Pokemon world, battles between trainers were a form of "entertainment" that was hard to refuse.
Jing He didn't want to "play" with these three "players."
Adu and Hiro na didn't say anything.
The future champions of two major regions!
Even the young Shun, in the future, had the strength to challenge the Elite Four.
With her knowledge of Pokemon psychology, she was hesitant to battle them.
Not to mention a du, who was probably not enough to match them.
Upon hearing a du's suggestion, a flash of disappointment appeared in Shun's eyes.
She originally wanted to go see a movie with a du, but the main character was Karu nai.
But the disappointment was quickly covered by a wave of enthusiasm.
A du, who was passionate about gym battles, didn't let his cousin Shun down!
She looked at Jing He.
"I want to see Jing He's tactics."
Jing He's tactical ability was also a bit of a name online.
Moreover, in the last battle a du had with Kona, she saw a bit of Jing he's tactical shadow in Kona's "Song of Ruin."
"There's no need."
Jing He gave a helpless laugh.
"I'm just a Pokemon psychology mentor, not good at battling. And in terms of strength."
He looked at the clumpy G histon and the small six-tailed Pokemon drinking "ice calm," his lips twitching slightly.
These two clumps didn't realize the "seriousness" of the situation.
In terms of strength, Shun's Pokemon were not much behind.
"I can use two teams of Pokemon."
"Still."
Before jing He could finish his sentence, Shun immediately added:
"If I win, this 'Dragon fang' will be given to you."
saying that, he took out a tooth faintly emitting a chilly aura.
On one side, a du patted his forehead.
He knew his cousin's stubborn temperament.
As a young dragon tamer, Shun's temperament was never good.
The whip on her waist wasn't just for taming dragons; occasionally, it also served as a weapon for trainers.
On the other side, hiro na, upon hearing this, furrowed her brows and reached out to stop jing He, saying:
"I'll battle you."
"Huh?"
a du and Shun couldn't help but look at hiro na.
Jing He rubbed his temples.
done.
looking at the "dragon fang" aspect.
"Still, I'll do it."
