Pokémon Padea Adventure: The Journey Continues

Xiaozhi and his team came to the Pokémon Center in Yuanmo Town. In order to fulfill the agreement between Pipa and Dunzi to fight against each other, they came to register for the cooking competition.

Still coming to the green area, Intelijun replied.

"Cooker Pipa, you must first watch the pre-match promotional video jointly produced by the Padilla Alliance and Orange & Grape Academy before you can register."

After saying that, the electronic screen on the side lit up.

The person who entered the field of vision of Pipa and others was the college's teacher Savarro who spoke.

"The first delicious cooking competition will be held in the Patiya region. There are no restrictions on cooking techniques. The cooking methods are mainly various portable snacks. People from all walks of life inside and outside the school are welcome to join. The cooking competition will be held at different times in various cities in Padiya. The topics will be randomly selected in each city according to the different flavors of "Sour, Sweet, Bitter, Spicy and Salty". Contestants can obtain three different kinds of badges from the five different "Sour, Sweet, Bitter, Spicy and Salty" badges ( Note: You cannot obtain multiple badges of the same type) to participate in the final cooking finals and compete for the final champion. I hope everyone will participate enthusiastically."

After Savaro's part was over, Afeng, who had broken up not long ago, took over to speak.

"I am Afeng, the store manager of Paisure Muz. The finals will be judged by Mr. Savarro from Orange & Grape Academy and Aoki, a staff member of the Pokémon League. Please stay tuned..."

Xiaoqing said curiously.

"I didn't expect that Ms. Afeng is also one of the referees of the finals. It's really hard work for those who can do it."

After completing the registration, Pipa was about to leave the Pokémon Center when the electronic screen was updated with the shortlisted works of the contestants of the photography competition that was currently in full swing..."

Xiaoqing immediately stared at it intently, because she had previously uploaded a few landscape photos taken along the way when they were traveling, hoping that her name and the name of her work would also be included in the shortlist.

But unfortunately, perhaps because there were too many works shortlisted before, the criteria for selecting the finalists this time have been raised. Only one contestant named Jiro Antonio was shortlisted with his work "Xisha Leaning Tower".

Xiaoqing immediately became crestfallen, and Xiaozhi came to her side to comfort her.

"Okay, Xiaoqing, this is your first time submitting an article. It's normal not to be shortlisted. Who can do it for the first time? You still have a chance!"

Xiaoqing shook his head, patted his frustrated face with his hand, and cheered up.

"Yes, I still have a chance. This is my first submission after all. Who can be shortlisted for their first submission..."

With that said, the group continued walking in the direction of the Olive Harvest Festival. From the rooftop of the Pokémon Center where they left, Musashi and Meowth peeked out furtively and were eavesdropping. It turns out to be Team Rocket who got lost before.

"Did you hear that? It looks like Xiao Guitou and the others are planning to attend the harvest festival."

"When we heard Meow, we took advantage of the crowd and caught Pikachu."

"Just do it!"

Just as the others were about to turn over and go downstairs, Musashi suddenly discovered that Kojiro was missing.

"Hey, Meow Meow, where is Kojiro?"

"I don't know, meow, I was there just now..., ah, you are here, meow."

Meowth looked back and found Kojiro right behind them, sobbing with tears in his eyes.

"What's wrong with you, Kojiro?"

"What's wrong, meow?"

Kojiro rushed forward excitedly, held their hands, and said.

"That's great, my..., my first submitted work has been shortlisted. Thank you, thank you for the support of good companions."

Musashi and Meowth, who were confused by Kojiro, said.

"What submissions were shortlisted."

"By the way, Xiao Guitou and the others seemed to have said just now that in the shortlist of the photography competition announced this time, there seems to be only one named Jiro and Ni..."

"Yes, I think I heard it too, could it be..."

"That's right, 'Jiro Antonio' ​​is the fake name I used when I signed up. "The Leaning Tower" is also where we got lost before."

Musashi sighed in admiration and said.

"I didn't expect that this guy Kojiro was actually shortlisted."

"Yeah, unexpected talent, nya."

Musashi said proudly.

"Instead, I am more interested in the cooking competition that Little Guitou and the others just mentioned. You may not know that in addition to being a Pokémon coordinator, Pokémon performer, and a well-known actress and model, I am also very powerful. Pastry chef, how about I also participate in that cooking competition..."

Kojiro and Meowth whispered quietly.

"Meow meow, have you heard that Musashi can also make desserts?"

"Hey, I think she's bragging again, meow."

Musashi noticed the two people muttering quietly on the side and yelled loudly.

"What are you whispering there?"

"No, no..., we said your attention was great."

"Just..., just, meow, let the people in the Padia region know your superb cooking skills."

Suddenly, a flying shadow was cast in the sky, passing between Team Rocket and the others, catching their attention.

"That is……"

"It's the messenger bird, meow. A reply came from the headquarters, meow."

The messenger bird landed among them and started chirping at them.

"What is it talking about? Meow."

"Let me translate, it says that this place is too difficult to find, and the signal is sometimes good or bad. It's really a weird place, meow."

Musashi, Kojiro said with a smile.

"There is no way. We also came to this place with this little devil and the others. The signal here is like this. We are also actively communicating with the headquarters every day."

"That's right. What does Boss Sakaki think of the Suo Cai Ling we sent before?"

Kojiro said while crying.

"Oh..., my lovely Suo Cailing."

Miao Miao reminded in a low voice from the side.

"Don't mention the matter of Suo Cailing. We have lost contact with the headquarters for so long and have not yet reported the work progress. Just sacrifice your Suo Cailing and shut the boss's mouth."

At this time, Messenger Bird took out a Poké Ball from his baggage and threw it into Kojiro's hand. He opened it and shouted excitedly.

"My Suo Cailing, I thought I would never see you again."

Suo Cailing, who left Kojiro, also missed Kojiro very much. The two snuggled together closely, Musashi asked tremblingly.

"Isn't this the Pokémon we gave to Boss Sakaki? How could it be..."

"Gulu, Gulu..."

Meowth continued to translate the Messenger Bird's words.

"What? It's said that the headquarters sympathizes with us and keeps it for our own use, meow."

“Headquarters has been really good to us.”

"That's right. It seems that they value us very much."

"We will do our best for Team Rocket until we die, meow."

As the three of them hugged each other and cried, the Messenger Bird looked at the surprised and happy Meow Meows with disdain. Then he took out a device from the bag and put it on the ground. A three-dimensional image was suddenly projected from the device. Before the image was formed, Miao Miao said immediately.

"It's a video call from Boss Sakaki. Let's kneel down."

The three of them immediately knelt down on the ground, respectfully. Just listen to a female voice in the video.

"Musashi, Kojiro, Meowth, Boss Sakaki is very happy about the new region Pokémon you sent this time..."

Musashi immediately looked up when he heard the sound and said angrily.

"What? It turns out it's you, this damn baby-headed female secretary, Zhenniao. What kind of airs do you have!"

Accompanying the real bird was Meow Meow who looked like the Alola region. Meow Meow also said angrily.

"That's right, why are you so proud of meow meow? Can you climb up to Team Rocket's headquarters without us?"

Kojiro immediately grabbed the two angry men.

"Okay, you all calm down. No matter what you say, you are still from Team Rocket. Don't let her hear it."

The messenger bird reminded from the side, and Meow Meow translated.

"Why is this a recorded video, not a video call? Meow."

The real bird in the video also explains.

"...It seems that the Padia area you arrived in is quite remote, and even signals from the outside are not easily accepted..."

Musashi's eyes lit up.

"What? It turns out it's a pre-recorded video. If that's the case, then I'll..."

As he spoke, Musashi made a face at the real bird, and Meowth on the side said not to be outdone.

"If that's the case, then I want it too!"

Along with Musashi, he was making faces at Alola Meowth in the video, while Kojiro said awkwardly from the side.

"Okay, Musashi, Miaomiao, it's too embarrassing for you to do this!"

The messenger bird on the side looked at Musashi and the others in front of them as if they were fools.

"...As far as we know, there is no other evil organization that manages this place. Very good. The Suo Cailing headquarters that you sent recently will be returned to you. I wish you can help to win the Padia area as soon as possible and set up a Rocket Team branch. department."

After the video ended, the messenger bird picked up the video device on the ground and flew back into the air, leaving Musashi and the others talking excitedly.

"I didn't expect the headquarters to give us such high hopes!"

"That's right. We were afraid that we didn't have enough manpower when we ruled the Padia region, so we sent back the wealth-seeking spirits we sent there."

"We have to work hard for Boss Sakaki and capture Padiya as soon as possible."

At the same time, Boss Sakaki said inside the headquarters.

"Matori, have Musashi, Kojiro, and Meow Meow in the Padia area delivered all the things they wanted to say and asked for money?"

The real bird looked at the time and replied.

"Depending on the date, it should be delivered by this time."

"That's good. As far as I know, Padea is a sparsely populated remote area with a huge pit in the middle. There are no valuable legendary Pokémon. In view of the increasing number of small and small Pokémon like Yamato, Three such elite employees have left. We also need to treat the old employees more generously to encourage them. Let them build up the Padia region. If they succeed, they will make money. If they fail, it will not matter to the headquarters."

The real bird said with admiration.

"Yes, he is indeed the boss of Sakaki. He is really good at employing people. But I think that Suo Cai Ling can be kept as the price for their inaction during this period."

"Suo Cai Ling is not of great value, just treat it as a small favor to encourage them."

The camera returned to Xiaozhi and his group. The town was not big. They had arrived at the olive farm where the olive harvest festival was being held, and listened to the introductions of the staff there.

"Yuanmo Town is famous for its olive production, and here is the famous local olive farm. At the olive harvest festival held today, participants will roll balls shaped like giant olives to make offerings. Visitors can also freely participate in this festival .Everyone who participates can receive a gift of olives picked fresh from the farm that day.”

Xiaozhi immediately raised his hand enthusiastically and said.

"Here, I want to participate."

"Okay, this little brother plans to participate in this event. Participants can choose a Pokémon as their partner. The other Pokémon and Poké Balls must be handed over to the event management office for storage. "

"That's it. If that's the case, then I'll..."

Pikachu stood up with a look of certainty on his face.

"...The decision is yours, Fire Crocodile."

Pikachu looked stunned and fell to the ground with a "Pika" sound.

"I'm sorry, Pikachu, I want Fire Crocodile to help me this time."

After saying that, he led the fire crocodile to the registration office, and the staff shouted to everyone who was coming and going.

"Okay, this challenge will be conducted by Xiaozhi from Zhenxin Town and his Pokémon Slow Crocodile. Let's cheer them up!"

At the beginning of the activity, Xiaozhi and Fire Crocodile pushed the huge olive-shaped ball from the entrance of the Olive Farm all the way to the exit to be considered successful in the challenge.

At first, Xiaozhi and the Fire Crocodiles went smoothly, but pushing such a huge ball took a lot of physical strength. Xiaozhi encouraged the Fire Crocodiles and said.

"Dark Crocodile, hold on, we're halfway through the route, and we'll be finishing up the gym challenge soon."

Unexpectedly, the huge ball blocked Xiaozhi's view and pushed the ball to the wrong path, pushing the ball towards a long slope.

"It's strange why the road suddenly became so difficult."

The Fire Crocodile couldn't hold it up anymore and lay on the ground. Xiaozhi immediately ran behind him, squatted beside it and asked.

"Inferno, don't worry."

At this moment, the ball that left Xiaozhi's hand stopped at the critical point in the upper middle of the slope. Just when Xiaozhi was checking the situation of the fire crocodile, a gust of wind blew over the ball, and the huge ball fell from the top of the slope. If you advance, you will retreat and fall down. Seeing the danger approaching, Xiaozhi immediately picked up the Fire Crocodile and ran down the slope. By accident, Xiaozhi and the Fire Crocodile fell to the ground. The danger was approaching. Xiaozhi tried to protect the Fire Crocodile with himself. Down……

At this moment, the Fire Crocodile rushed out of Xiaozhi's arms and stood in front of Xiaozhi alone.

"Dark Crocodile!"

Xiaoqing, Pipa and Pikachu outside the field wanted to rescue Xiaozhi and the others at this time, but it was too late and they shouted in unison.

"It's dangerous, Xiaozhi!"

When in trouble, the panicked eyes of the Fire Crocodile became firm, and its eyes were like torches. A ball of flames spurted out from its mouth, and Xiaozhi said in surprise.

"It's a spark attack. Fire Crocodile, can you finally use fire-based moves?"

The sparks offset the power of the huge rolling ball and stopped on the slope. Xiaozhi immediately stepped forward to stop the ball from rolling down.

"That's great, Fire Crocodile, there's no danger!"

At this moment, curling flames rose from the top of the huge sphere. Xiaoqing and the others hurriedly waved, and the staff also discovered the abnormality here and said hurriedly.

"Little brother, the top above... is on fire!"

Only then did Xiaozhi find that the place where the spark had hit had a flame, and the activity challenge was suspended. After a lot of fuss, the flames finally subsided.

The staff members had dirty stains on their faces due to the fire fighting. They suppressed their anger and said with a smile.

"I'm sorry, little brother, arson is not allowed during the event. Fortunately, it didn't cause any serious disaster, so there won't be any punishment for you. Your challenge has been suspended. Please step down. Let’s join later.”

Xiaozhi left here dejectedly, lowering his head and said.

"Ouch! What should I do? If I can't get fresh olives, Ms. Afeng, I won't be able to participate in the gym challenge today."

Fire Crocodile looked at the disappointed Xiaozhi, thinking that it was all his fault, and lowered his head in depression. Xiaozhi immediately comforted him after seeing it.

"Slow Fire Crocodile, this is not your fault. If you want to blame me, blame me for not completing the activity requirements properly."

Xiaoqing also said comfortingly.

"There's nothing we can do about it. Who could have almost ruined someone else's festival? It's already good that I burned a corner of the ball without asking you to compensate. I can only stay here for a while and wait for the festival to end. When the gym challenge returns to normal, let’s challenge it again.”

"This will have to wait until the Year of the Monkey and the Horse..."

Suddenly, there were many commotion sounds in the Olive Farm. Listen carefully to the shouting sounds under the commotion...

"No, there's a fire in the garden. Everyone, go put out the fire!"

Xiaoqing shouted in surprise.

"Oh! It can't be that the fire left by the fire crocodile was not extinguished, and the fire was started by a single spark."

"No! Is it true?"

Pipa said as a reminder.

"It doesn't matter if it's a fire or not, let's help put it out if it's on fire!"

With that said, Xiaozhi and the others ran against the flow of people and ran towards the depths of the Olive Farm.
