Pokémon Padea Adventure: The Journey Continues

Chapter 27: Battle in the Dessert Shop, Pipa’s Strong Rival



Finally, Xiaozhi and his party finally arrived at Yuanmo Town after meeting the poor collector Natsu on the way to Yuanmo Gym.

"Is this Yuanmo Town? Where is the Yuanmo Gym?"

"Pika pika!"

As soon as they stepped into this land, Xiaozhi and Pikachu were eager to start the gym challenge. The words "Yuanmo Gym" never stopped since they left Table City.

Xiaoqing said slightly tiredly.

"Xiao Zhi, let's take a rest first. After a long journey, I'm exhausted. Besides, our food on the road has been robbed by Natsu and the dolphins. Now we are exhausted, tired and hungry."

Ash said teasingly.

"Xiaoqing, just say you are tired, you are so useless."

Piper said mediatingly.

"Xiao Zhi, please think about Xiao Qing. Xiao Qing is a girl, so her physical strength will of course be slightly weaker than that of boys. And Xiao Qing, please also be considerate of Xiao Zhi. After all, he has been thinking about the gym since yesterday. Challenge, when you reach the destination, the goal is in front of you, of course you will be so impatient."

Xiaoqing smiled and said with admiration.

"Pipa, you are such a good person."

Piper smiled and expressed.

"Haha, we are all traveling together, so we should accommodate each other. ... Otherwise, it is still early. If we enter the town and encounter the gym first, we will challenge the gym first. We meet first Restaurant, just fill your stomach first, what do you think?"

"Okay, let's make this decision."

"I have no choice but to do this. After all, Xiaozhi has no sympathy for her at all."

Xiaozhi said innocently when he heard Xiaoqing mocking him.

"Lianxiangxiyu is..., what does it mean?"

"Okay, okay, let's get into the town quickly."

Piper said as he gently pushed the two of them forward.

Just as Xiaozhi and his party entered the town, a pure white building came into view, with "Yuan Mo Gym" written on it.

Xiaozhi jumped up happily and cheered loudly.

"Great, it's the Yuanmo Gym. Let's start the gym challenge first. Pikachu, let's go in quickly."

Xiaoqing waved her hands helplessly and said.

"There is no other way. If you are willing to admit defeat, let Xiaozhi do the gym challenge first."

The glass sensor door slowly opened, and Xiaozhi and Pikachu waited impatiently outside the door. The moment it opened, Xiaozhi and Pikachu ran in first, came to the front desk of the gym, and said to the staff at the front desk.

"Hello, I am Xiaozhi from Zhenxin Town. I am now a freshman at Orange & Grape Academy. Now I plan to challenge your round model gym."

the front desk staff replied.

"Sorry, Challenger Trainer, our gym leader Afeng is not here. Today happens to be our annual olive harvest festival in Yuanmo Town, and all the townspeople have gone to the nearby olive farm. It’s a rare opportunity for all tourists, so please go and participate in this festival.”

"Why is this..."

Xiaozhi walked out of the Yuanmo Gym with a disappointed look on his face.

"I originally wanted to win the gym competition in one go, but who knew it would be like this."

Piper put her hand on the dejected Ash's shoulder and said.

"There is nothing we can do about it. Let's just wait until the festival is over."

The situation is changing, Xiaoqing said happily.

"This is God's will, just accept it, Xiaozhi, let's go to the delicious dessert shop now!"

After saying that, his eyes lit up and his steps were light, not at all like he said he was too tired to walk anymore. He introduced enthusiastically as he walked.

"Actually, I've always wanted to go to the Paisley Mousse store in Yuanmo Town to eat the delicious desserts there."

Piper said in response.

"Yes, I heard about it too. The store manager Afeng has a quiet personality and speaks slowly. He gives a very natural feeling overall and has outstanding dessert skills. I am finally lucky enough to meet him today."

Xiaozhi shouted angrily.

"No matter what, I'll eat a lot too!"

The town is not big, so it didn't take long to find the outside of the Paisula Mousse Dessert Shop not far from the gym. I opened the door and went in. The sweet smell inside made Xiaozhi and others feel elated.

"Hello, do you need anything?"

The speaker was a girl about the same age as Xiaozhi and others at the glass counter in the store. After Xiaozhi and Pipa entered the store, they couldn't help but look around at the "arts" displayed in the glass cabinets.

Only Xiaoqing came to the glass cabinet unswervingly after entering the store and said to the girl clerk.

"Please give me your store's limited edition olive mousse cake cup."

the clerk said.

"Sorry, guest, this cake is out of stock today."

Xiao Qing suddenly felt a bolt from the blue.

"No..., why? Why not today."

"Due to the Olive Harvest Festival, the fresh olives have not arrived today, so this cake cup is out of stock."

Xiaoqing collapsed on the glass cabinet in front of her, lifeless. Piper asked as he came up behind him.

"Xiaoqing, what's wrong with you?"

"Mental breakdown caused by force majeure..."

"What, you?"

Pipa suddenly caught a glimpse of those delicious desserts in front of the glass cabinet where Xiaoqing was lying on her stomach and said.

"The dessert is made of good ingredients, but it's a pity... that the cook didn't use the right heat and time."

The clerk in the cupboard immediately became unhappy and said seriously.

"This guest, I don't care how you see it, and I don't care who you are, as long as you say that the products from our Shulei Muzi store are defective, I will be the first one not to agree."

Pipa's expression suddenly changed and she said slightly apologetically.

"What! Did I accidentally say it just now? I'm sorry, I seem to have accidentally slipped out what I was thinking..., I didn't mean it, please forgive me."

I saw that the clerk was still unwilling to give up, his face flushed with anger, Xiao Qing was trying to persuade him, and Xiao Zhi was also attracted by the noisy sound here.

Suddenly, a plump, soft-spoken lady walked out of the store and said.

"Dunzi, what's wrong with you? Why are you quarreling with the guests again?"

"Store manager, please comment, this customer said something outrageous!"

"Okay, I heard you..."

Pipa immediately said respectfully to the lady who came in.

"You are the manager of Afeng, I'm glad to meet you. I am Pipa, a student from Orange & Grape Academy. I actually didn't mean that..."

Dunzi responded aggressively.

"What do you mean if you don't mean this? Tell me!"

Pipa couldn't resist Dunzi's pressing questions and could only continue to add why he made those remarks.

"I didn't say that the desserts here are not good. Most of the desserts here are top-notch in color, flavor, and taste. It's just that the batch of cakes in the cupboard in front of me are a bit undercooked."

When Dunzi heard Pipa's remarks, he turned around angrily and went back to the back room.

"Hey... that girl, Dun, Dunzi..."

Pipa tried to keep Dunzi, but she still left without looking back. Pipa was about to apologize to Afeng for his recklessness. Unexpectedly, instead of being angry, Afeng praised him.

"I have long heard that Teacher Savarro in the college has a disciple, I guess it must be you?"

Piper responded modestly.

"Every student in the college is excellent, and there is no distinction between anyone who is superior and who is inferior."

Afeng was very appreciative of Pipa's humble answer, and then continued to explain why Dunzi was so angry.

"Well, you don't have to worry about my apprentice Dunzi. Because the dessert you pointed out that was not hot enough was made by her. Although this is harsh on her, it is also for her own good. She is too impatient. I think She'll figure it out herself."

"Oh, I see."

Xiaozhi and Xiaoqing lay on the glass cabinet and looked hard at it, and said in confusion.

"There's no difference. Why can't I see it?"

"That's right. Maybe they taste different and you can tell them apart."

Pipa was embarrassed and wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl in. She really didn't want the pastry chef she admired to know that she was a companion with these two "hungry ghost reincarnations".

Afeng smiled softly and said.

"You've been traveling hard, and you haven't eaten yet. Let me treat you to dessert."

After a while of shirk, Xiaozhi and Xiaoqing ate the delicious desserts with satisfaction. Although it was not the limited-edition cake cup that Xiaoqing was obsessed with, other delicious desserts were not inferior to them.

When Pipa tasted Dunzi's dessert, she was amazed. Its deliciousness was as good as her master Afeng's. It was incredible that she could have such skill even when the heat was not enough. At the same time, I also realized that my one-sided evaluation of her was unfair, and I wanted to say sorry to her for this.

Xiaozhi, who had filled his stomach, suddenly realized.

"By the way, Afeng! The gym leader of Yuanmo Gym is also named Afeng. Could it be that you are..."

Afeng admitted openly.

"That's right, I am the store manager Afeng, and I am also the leader of the Yuanmo Gym."

Xiaoqing shook her head and said.

"Xiao Zhi, how did you realize it? You are too slow."

Xiaozhi immediately begged.

"Please, Ms. Afeng, please agree to have a gym challenge with me."

"Yes, yes..."

Before Afeng finished speaking, Xiaozhi jumped up happily, and Afeng continued.

"...However, I have a condition. Today is the Harvest Festival, and today's fresh olives will be used as rewards for the festival. You have to participate in the festival to get rewards for us to complete today's special olive mousse cake cup. I Only then can I agree to your request for a gym battle."

Xiaozhi immediately changed from a happy mood to like an eggplant beaten by frost, and had to move to the Olive Farm where the harvest festival was held.

On the only way, when they saw Dunzi waiting for them here for a long time, Pipa immediately stepped forward and wanted to say sorry to her. When he was about to speak, Dunzi spoke first.

"Your name is Pipa, right?"

"yes, I……"

"Wait a minute, put other things aside and start a Pokémon battle with me."

Xiaozhi and Xiaoqing on the side felt it.

"Why, so sudden?"

Pipa looked at Dunzi's firm eyes and agreed to her request.

"Okay, let's have a battle."

Xiaoqing asked Xiaozhi in a low voice.

"What is Piper's Pokémon?"

"Actually, I haven't seen it either. I wonder what Pokémon he has?"

Pipa interrupted Xiaozhi and Xiaoqing who were whispering.

"Ash!"

"Have!"

"You will be our battle referee."

"Okay, okay, here we go."

Pulling up his stance, Xiaozhi said a pre-battle declaration.

"The two warring parties are Pipa and Dunzi. A 1V1 Pokémon battle will take place here... and the battle begins."

Dunzi took out a Pokémon ball from his apron and released a Pokémon with a body that looked like fermented dough and several pieces of bread put together. It looked delicious. Xiaozhi curiously took out his cell phone Rotom and learned that it was.

"Puppy, a puppy Pokémon, fairy-type. Its skin is moist and smooth to the touch, and its skin is elastic and has both strong and soft qualities. When it is emotional, it will expand its body to make itself look bigger to intimidate its opponents. It The yeast contained in the breath can ferment the surrounding things. This yeast is useful in cooking, so it has been protected by people since ancient times.”

Piper responded immediately.

"Come out, hot baby."

Xiaoqing's eyes suddenly lit up, and she said excitedly as she looked at the small, naughty and cute Pokémon in front of her, with a large front tooth in its mouth.

"It's so cute. I didn't expect Pipa to have such a cute Pokémon. Miss Dunzi's pup is so cute... I don't know who to cheer for."

"The hot baby is..."

Ash murmured, then continued to check Rotom on his phone, and found out.

"Hot Baby, Hot Pokémon, Grass-type. The longer you bathe in the sun, the more spicy ingredients in Hot Baby's body will become, and the moves will become spicier. The local area of ​​​​Padia The special dishes are made with the lost front teeth of the hot baby, so the taste is extremely spicy. The local specialties are made with the lost front teeth of the hot baby, so the taste is extremely spicy."

Xiaozhi said after checking.

"Hot Spicy Baby can produce a seasoning by itself, which is really suitable for Pipa to use."

The battle between "fermented dough" and "spicy seasoning" is about to begin.

"Puppy, use Playful."

Baozi dog got close to Hota, played with it and launched an attack without knowing it. Hota was knocked away by the unexpected attack, and after gliding a few meters, it withstood the attack. .

"Be careful, hot baby, don't be fooled by your opponent's cute appearance, keep the distance and use the flying blade."

The falling leaves appeared from behind the Hot Dog, and the attack flew out in an unorganized manner. It was unpredictable in the air, and it inevitably collided with the Hot Dog. The Pokémon on both sides were of equal strength, and the fight was effective. Come and go.

Dunzi said angrily.

"Damn Pipa, I'm not as good at cooking as you are, so I don't believe I can lose to you in a Pokémon battle... Baozai, rush forward and use Bite."

Piper calmly responded to the challenge, and after thinking for a moment, she took the hot baby back into the elf ball.

"Come back, hot baby."

Everyone present was surprised.

"Dunzi, I don't want to have another Pokémon battle with you. The battle between us will be decided by cooking skills. Don't embarrass our respective Pokémon... Besides, I think you are good at cooking. My attainments are not as high as mine as you said, so let’s have an open and honest competition using our cooking skills.”

After hearing Pipa's evaluation of himself, Dunzi, who was impatient, proud, and childish, suddenly lost half of his anger and said.

"Okay, let me just say that my cooking skills are not much different from those of my master Afeng. I guess you still have some discernment."

Pipa was embarrassed, as if trying to comfort an angry child, and persuaded Dunzi. The tense atmosphere between the two parties seemed to have eased to a certain extent, and the argument stopped without anyone expecting it.

"Then we have decided to hold a cooking competition in the Padia region in the near future. As a challenge between us, I have already signed up. There is a Pokémon Center there. Don't forget..."

With that said, he ran away from here.

"Hey, this..."

Seeing that Dunzi had walked away, Pipa lowered his head in despair and said in pain.

"What should I do? I originally thought it would be enough to compete in private, but I didn't expect that she would use participating in such a large competition as the basis for our battle."

Xiaozhi walked up and said.

"Isn't this great? I am participating in the gym challenge while traveling, and Xiaoqing is participating in the photography competition. You should also take this opportunity to join in the fun and participate in this cooking competition."

Pipa said awkwardly.

"But I had no intention of participating in the cooking competition. After all, I still have the important task of finding secret seasonings to help Gullerton and Milton detoxify."

"Oh, Piper, you are just too nervous. Occasionally participate in competitions, compete with extraordinary players, hone your cooking skills, and let Gulerton eat your more delicious sandwiches."

Xiaozhi's words made Pipa suddenly open.

"That's right, Xiaozhi, I think my cooking skills have stalled. So, I decided to participate in this competition. Firstly, I passively agreed to Dunzi's request for a cooking battle. Secondly, I also hope that my Cooking skills can better suit their tastes and stomachs, allowing them to enjoy better delicacies. Can you accompany me to the Pokémon Center first?"

"Of course, I will follow what you said. We are all traveling companions together, so let's decide."

Ash and his group said as they walked towards the Pokémon Center in the town.
