I Really Don’t Want To Be a Trainer

Chapter 755 Battle of the Shoji! Teacher Lu VS Zhimi

Serena and Musashi are participating in this Triple Crown Satellite Tournament at the same time, so Teacher Lu has no reason not to attend.

With myself as the master of coordination as the judge, it is absolutely fair and impartial, and it can also reduce the pressure on Semei who is debuting for the first time.

As for Musashi... Teacher Lu was worried that she would be made difficult by the judges again.

After all, Musashi's performance is too avant-garde and indeed has technical content, but it is still too early for the public to understand her art...

In a wilderness near the city of Miare, the trio of Team Rocket were walking slowly.

"Musashi, are you really going to participate in the Triple Crown Satellite Tournament?"

Kojiro said uneasily. He was worried that Musashi would be laughed at by the audience and judges and be hit again.

"Of course!" Musashi clenched his fists, with fire in his eyes, "I want to prove myself, and I will definitely win the title of 'Queen Carlos'!"

Musashi is extremely strong. Although her careers as a nurse and coordinator ended in failure, she still persists in pursuing her dreams.

During this trip to Carlos, Musashi had two more aliases, actress "Musashi Reno" and performer "Musashi Wei".

"When Musashi becomes the Queen of Carlos, there will be endless funds, meow~" Meow said with a smile.

"That's natural!" Musashi raised his head proudly and said dejectedly: "Speaking of which...the performers' costumes need to be customized, so I may need to spend a little money..."

"How much?" Kojiro asked, turning his head.

Hearing the numbers reported by Musashi, Kojiro and Miaomiao were furious: "Are you kidding!!"

"Hehe, it's actually not much. Compared with the costumes of masters like Mikri..."

Musashi rubbed his hands and laughed, then slumped his shoulders and sighed: "Of course, I don't mean it's necessary."

Anyway, the chance of winning is slim, I just want to give it a try and do my best...

"Two days."

Musashi was stunned, raised his head, and saw Kojiro gesturing with two fingers.

Kojiro smiled and said: "Give me two days, we will earn enough money to give you a beautiful outfit for this Miare City Food Festival!"

"Let Musashi become a great beauty~ Meow!" Meow said with her hands on her hips.

"You guys..." Musashi's eyes were warm, he took a deep breath and said loudly: "Then hurry up and prepare, the food festival starts tomorrow!"

"Haha, received!" Kojiro and Miaomiao saluted.

"嗦~唷嗷!"

November 6th, Saturday, was a crisp autumn day.

The food festival jointly organized by the Miare Chamber of Commerce was held as scheduled.

The entire central square, with the Prism Tower as the center, is surrounded by shops of all sizes. A variety of gourmet dishes with tempting aromas.

"Here, take the freshly baked gray pie, please~"

"The buffet set menu at Pu Tong Restaurant? It sounds very ordinary..."

"Come and look, there's someone doing a Pokémon battle over at the Battle Cafe!"

Battle Cafe is a long-established store on the north side of the street. It attracts customers with battles all year round, and the winner gets free of charge.

When Teacher Lu first heard the news, he originally wanted to sign up, but considering that his status as the 'recent champion' was too bullying, he gave up in tears.

At this time, a white line was drawn with chalk in front of the booth of the Battle Cafe to serve as the battle site.

With everyone watching, Xiaozhi directed the frog to fight against the passerby's Koga Ninja frog.

"Cat-headed frog, use lightning flash!"

The frog's narrowed eyes suddenly opened, as fast as lightning, causing everyone to marvel.

Zhimi wore sunglasses, blended in with the crowd, and nodded slightly.

As the water king, he discovered the extraordinary qualities of this frog. It has a strong emotional bond with its trainer.

Zhimi only experienced this kind of bond with Ai Lan and Charizard, who came to challenge (and then failed).

However, Xiaozhi's command skills need to be improved, and his reckless face is not "artistic" enough, which makes Zhimi, who has obsessive-compulsive disorder, a little uncomfortable.

Zhimi turned his head and looked at other food stalls.

Each visitor has a vote to vote for the merchant he supports, and the one with the highest number of votes will win the 'Most Popular Award'.

At this moment, according to real-time statistics on the official mobile phone website, Teacher Lu’s stall, like Zhimi’s, is not yet open for business.

The most popular merchant at present is from the Kanto Dark Gray Market, with a stall called "Xiao Gang's Cuisine".

Xiaogang had a dark face, squinted his eyes, and wore an apron. Facing the long queue, he said:

"Hello, would you like something to eat."

"A dark gray rice cracker...and seaweed rice balls, and a special food for Pokémon!"

"no problem."

The team was in good order, and Xiaogang, who was supporting his family, suddenly looked up and was stunned for a moment.

In front of him was a rather oppressive man, two meters tall, shirtless, covered in muscles and scars.

Fighting King, Sheba!

"Angry buns...are there any?" Xiba said solemnly.

"...there is no Angry Steamed Bun in Dark Gray's famous specialty."

"Oh...excuse me."

Xiba turned around slowly and suddenly heard someone shouting next to her:

"Freshly baked Angry Steamed Buns, the authentic specialty of Angry Lake, meow!"

In an instant, Xiba's eyes sparkled and she walked quickly.

Xiaogang: "...the next guest."

Lurina, dressed in casual clothes, glanced at Shiba who was leaving and said, "A piece of milk pudding."

Lulina is a world-famous model. She was invited to the fashion week in Miare City and secretly visited the food festival.

Like Caidou, Lu Lina is very interested in desserts, but she strictly controls her figure.

This dark-skinned beauty is extremely popular all over the world.

Not inferior to the 'shining beauty' Xiao Ju'er, the 'movie star' Nazi...

The first event of the food festival is the Big Eater Competition.

"I am honored to introduce to you the top four contestants and the extremely popular beautiful girl, Ami!!"

Ami was wearing a swaying white dress with orange braids. She was gentle and lovely. She put her delicate hands on the hem of the skirt and waved her hands shyly.

"Miss Ami——!!"

In an instant, fanatic shouts erupted from the stands.

"Ami's partner is her big steel snake!"

Boom! !

Blocking out the sun and raising dust, the audience looked up at the grinning big steel snake. They were stunned for a moment, and then burst into cheers.

"The second contestant is Akane, who comes from Manjin City in Johto and claims to be a beautiful girl. Her partner is a big breast jug!"

Xiao Qian was furious and bared her teeth and said: "I'm not claiming to be myself, I'm a super popular beautiful girl!!"

Lu Ye was slightly startled.

I have always felt that big milk jugs are more recognizable than Xiaoqian...

In other words, when you think of Xiaoqian, you can think of big milk jugs...

The host continued:

"The third contestant is Ash Ketchum and his Kirby - the fourth contestant is Shinji and his Boss Cordora!"

Xiaozhi's eyes were burning and he said: "Shinji, let's decide the winner!"

"I'm not interested."

Shinji put one hand in his pocket and said calmly: "It's just that I happened to be in Miare City, and Boss Cordora really wanted to compete."

Boscodora's appetite is amazing, but it's far inferior to Kirbymon's.

In the past, Shinji would never have been interested in such a 'boring' event.

But as Teacher Lu said...the little things in daily life are the key to cultivating bonds.

Lu Ye and Sirona sat under the stage.

"Shinji would actually participate in such a competition." Lu Ye was surprised.

"Maybe it's a change in mentality." Sirona said with a smile.

Lu Ye looked towards the meeting stage.

Ash ate heartily, casting wary glances at Shinji from time to time.

Shinji chewed slowly, and his desire to win was no longer as strong as before. When he saw Bosco Dora being happy because he had eaten his favorite dish, the corners of his mouth also curled up.

"Xiaozhi - come on!" Yurika cheered with a rat on her head.

"Come on!" Serena also cheered.

"The competition has entered a fierce stage!" the host shouted: "Big Milk Can and Boss Cordora looked embarrassed, leaving only the competition between Big Steel Snake and Kirby Beast!"

"Xiao Gang——"

Ami wiped the corners of her mouth gracefully with a handkerchief, and while waiting for the food to be served, her gentle eyes gradually became sharper.

"One hundred thousand horsepower!"

"Here he appears! Contestant Ami's big steel snake is going at full speed to destroy the giant pudding!!"

The commentator and the audience burst into cheers at the same time.

"Kirby..."

Xiaozhi's Kirby began to feel sleepy. After destroying a pot of grapefruit, he yawned.

Immediately, Kirby rubbed its belly and fell asleep on the floor under the focus of thousands of spectators.

"Ash's player's Kirby fell asleep!" the host said in shock.

"Kirby~Zzz" Kirbymon slept very soundly.

Lu Ye said: "Fat House Kirby, yawning and sleeping, pomelo fruit, leftover food!"

Sirona said in surprise: "What."

Lu Ye: "Pokémon Chuanliu."

I, Mr. Lu, am the proud disciple of the ‘famous master of Sichuan and Liuliu’ Oki Xuecheng! (error)

The game was ultimately won by Ami.

Shinji took back the Boss Cordora and walked away. Xiaozhi stared at his back and wondered what he was thinking.

In the afternoon, the second project, the delicious juice selection, was officially held.

The tourists were shocked to find that Teacher Lu’s stall was set up!

For a time, the stall was crowded with people.

This was the first time for Tian Wu Ni and Shuang Naixian to see such a battle, and they hid behind Lu Ye in fear.

"It's just a small scene."

Lu Ye peeled the fruit calmly: "I'll prepare a miracle juice for you!"

[Miracle Juice] is the flagship product of the Juice Shop. In the game, it can increase the level of Pokémon by 5, and the effect is more powerful than strange sweets.

In reality, this juice is diluted, retaining only the taste, and can be consumed by both humans and Pokémon.

Juice dripped from the leaves of Sweet Dance Ni. It held the small plate and handed it to Lu Ye.

For a moment, the fragrant fragrance spread everywhere, and Tian Wu Ni looked a little shy under Lu Ye's gaze.

A drop of Sweetwine's juice can be diluted a hundred times to make a sweet drink, which is very popular in the Alola region.

Lu Ye couldn't help but sigh.

Tian Wu Ni and Frost Milk Fairy can produce ingredients by themselves, making them the best helpers for chefs!

The raw materials are a Luomei fruit and a Mystica fruit, both of which are relatively precious tree fruits.

Using the technique of bartending, Lu Ye picked up the shaking glass and shook it skillfully and steadily.

Among the crowd, Cabernet, the C-level Pokémon wine waiter, stared at Lu Ye's movements and was slightly startled.

My skills are not as good as his...

Teacher Lu can be rated as a B-level or even A-level sommelier.

[Miracle Juice] is finished, shimmering in the cocktail glass and exuding the fragrance of tree fruits.

Cabernet Sauvignon swallowed his saliva and happened to be at the front of the line. He stepped forward and said, "Can I... have a taste?"

"Of course." Lu Ye said.

Cabernet Sauvignon tremblingly picked up the cocktail glass, pursed her dry lips, and moved closer to the rim of the glass.

Suddenly, Cabernet's eyes widened.

The fruity aroma, sweet and sour taste is just right, and the ice cubes add to the taste...

Even the work of an A-level sommelier can’t compare to this masterpiece!

“Excellent taste.”

Cabernet sighed and saw Lu Ye and Geng Gui beside him, and praised:

"The bond between you and Gengar is like this perfectly paired juice, it's a miracle!"

The Pokémon Bartender will identify the relationship between trainers and partners. The pairing of Xiaozhi and Pikachu was once evaluated as "the best and most suitable" by the wine waiter Tiantong.

Teacher Lu politely thanked her, and in order to help Tian Wu Ni realize her wish, she once again made different flavors of juice...

Sunset dusk.

The results of the "Delicious Juice" project on the official website are officially released.

Tianwu Ni was trembling, holding the phone and not daring to look at it, and handed it back to the store manager: "What?"

Store manager, please help me...

Lu Ye cleared his throat in a pretentious manner, clicked on the official website, and said: "Second place, Miaomiao stall, representative product: Orange Juice."

The trio often sells juice, and they also have considerable experience in making tree juice.

"The first place is——"

Tian Wu Ni held her breath.

"...Who is it?" Lu Ye said: "Frost Milk Fairy, who do you think it is?"

Frost Milk Fairy:)Д(!

Don't be tempted, store manager!

"Ahem, the first place is Colorful Coffee Shop, its masterpiece: Miracle Juice."

Tian Wu Ni was startled for a moment, then looked at Frosty Milk Fairy, then happily spun around in circles with her two leaves flying.

"What~(*≧▽≦)"

Great, the store manager and I won the championship together!

Frost Milk Fairy was happy for Tian Wu Ni, her crystal red pupils flashed, and she secretly made up her mind.

"咒嗛…"

I also want to make the best cake that can be recognized by everyone!

…

Night falls.

The most important part of the day, the cooking showdown, took place in the brightly lit Prism Tower.

Chefs from various leagues competed in pairs to select ten contestants, who won the honorary title of "Chef Carlos".

Zhimi already holds this title, but shockingly, he is participating in this competition again!

Joining him was the league champion, Mr. Lu, who was known as the "Champion Chef"!

"Karunai's main job is to be an actress, Mikoli's main job is to be a coordinator, and Teacher Lu's main job is to be a chef... very reasonable!"

"Food is the most important thing for the people, feel the fear of being ruled by Donghuang Cuisine!"

"Teacher Lu is the god of food!!"

Luye's opponent in the first round is a famous Galar chef named Pino, who specializes in curry and mushroom soup.

The audience's attention was focused on the center of the venue. Directly in front was the food selection area, with cooking tables placed on the left and right sides.

On the sidelines, there were three judges sitting, namely Pachira wearing red sunglasses, the respected Fu Ye, and Miare City Hall owner Citron.

Lu Ye: "..."

Even the judges are our own...is that really okay?

"let's start."

Pachila, the king of fire element, crossed his arms.

Like Carlos's trainer, Pachira also has her own main business.

Her main job is as a newscaster...

In terms of ingredient selection, Pino, as a famous chef in Galar, chose Baja high-grade canned food, coarse ground meat sausage, and super noodles.

In the end, Pino made a spicy and delicious curry rice, enough to be rated as "Charizard"!

Zhimi had already defeated his opponent, and looked at the curry rice being served on the table in the camera, his eyes flickering.

Charizard grade...is the highest grade curry rice grade.

Even Zhimi is not 100% confident that the production will be successful.

Zhimi looked at Lu Ye's cooking table again and let out a light sigh.

"It's strange...it's also curry..."

The three judges took spoonfuls of Pino's curry, savored it carefully, and showed admiration.

Fu Ye said with a smile: "Delicious ingredients, paired with spicy curry sauce, it can be said to be a well-deserved golden combination!"

Pino looked at Lu Ye proudly.

Teacher Lu, although you are a champion trainer, in the field of cooking, you still have to leave it to professionals.

"Teacher Lu's cooking is finished." The host said, "He also chose Pino's best curry."

Pino was startled and looked at the golden curry rice on the cooking table. The tempting spicy smell filled the air, and the audience swallowed their saliva.

A drop of cold sweat ran across Pino's forehead.

He vaguely saw the heat forming into a soaring flaming bird. The scent was like a flaming bird bathed in golden flames, coming to his nostrils!

As he passed by, calm words floated in Pino's ears.

"Charizard level... I am no longer one."

Spicy tree fruits create a complex and diverse taste.

Teacher Lu named it - Blazing Bird Level!

The three judges stared at the golden curry rice and stretched out their spoons tremblingly.

A volcano seemed to appear in front of Citron's eyes. Rich and delicious curry soup erupted from the top of the volcano. A flaming bird flapped its wings and flew out with a chirping sound!

Beep——

The big screen showed the judges' votes.

"Three to zero! With an overwhelming advantage, Teacher Lu will advance to the next round!" the host said in shock.

The whole place was in an uproar.

Many people come with the mentality of watching a good show.

I never thought that Teacher Lu is really a chef.

He even defeated a famous chef in Galar and is expected to win the honorary title of 'Chef Carlos'!

After a short intermission.

Everyone looked up and looked at the group on the big screen, and they were all stunned.

A showdown begins between Teacher Lu and King Zhimi.

The winner will be promoted to the top ten and receive an honorary title!

Under the spotlight.

Zhimi and Luye walked to the center of the venue and shook hands.

"Teacher Lu."

Zhimi's eyes were sharp: "I have been waiting for this day for a long time."

"Me too." Lu Ye's eyes were stern.

A battle with the king of chefs, Zhimi!

"Start!" Fu Ye announced.

The food ingredients adopt the rules of bringing some of your own food and picking them on site.

"From the perspective of ingredient selection, King Zhimi chose his best seafood dish!"

The host said: "Teacher Lu... he chose a piece of tofu. Is he going to make Donghuang style cuisine?"

From Lu Ye's technique, Zhimi quickly judged the food prepared by Lu Ye.

Zhimi's eyes narrowed.

He wanted to challenge Carlos-style seafood dishes by combining Donghuang style with spiciness!

Nonsense... The rich spiciness may bring pain and excitement to diners, but it is the 'umami' taste that leaves guests with endless aftertaste!

Beside him, his partner Octopus Bucket was cleaning the ingredients silently.

Zhimi prepared a unique ingredient, which was the ink from the octopus barrel.

This unique taste is unacceptable to many diners, but a small dose of ink can better bring out the umami flavor in seafood dishes!

Zhimi became more confident in winning and looked up at Lu Ye.

Lu Ye and Cong Youbing teamed up to handle the ingredients in an orderly manner.

"He plans to use green onion leaves to taste?" Zhimi frowned slightly.

The green onions of Scallion Duck are a favorite delicacy of countless diners, and they can also produce wonderful chemical reactions with tofu...

Smelling the spicy smell in the air, Zhimi raised his eyebrows.

However, even with the 'flamingo level' spiciness, there is no chance of winning against Zhimi's seafood dishes!

The timer on the big screen shows the passage of time minute by minute.

Lurina sat in the audience and pursed her lips.

She is very interested in Zhimi's seafood dishes...but also loves Donghuang-style dishes.

I’m looking forward to seeing what kind of masterpiece these two will serve!

Beep——

Time returns to zero.

Luye and Shimi completed the last step of cooking at the same time!

Zhimi, wearing a white chef robe, looked at Lu Ye questioningly.

Lu Ye smiled slightly, stretched out his hand and made a "you come first" gesture.

Zhimi nodded slightly, straightened his back, and walked towards the judges' seat with a cup of dishes.

The octopus barrel pressed two of its tentacles against the saucer, while the other tentacles moved crawlingly.

At the moment of unveiling, the audience held their breath.

“Waterside Herb Seafood Chowder.”

Zhimi said calmly: "Please review."

Pachira had tasted Zhimi's craftsmanship several times, sniffed the fragrance, and said with a smile: "You seem to feel a sense of crisis, Zhimi."

"Whether it's Pokémon battles or cooking, it all needs to reach the level of art."

Zhimi said calmly: "This is just my personal code of conduct."

Pachira shrugged slightly, picked up the silver spoon, scooped up the rich soup, and handed it to her red lips.

After closing her eyes and thinking about it for a long time, Pachira sighed: "It's hard to imagine... how desperate it must be to not be able to taste the food you cooked."

"Besides the smell of vanilla by the water, I seem to have tasted another flavor..." Fu Ye said lightly.

Zhimi raised the corners of his mouth and said calmly: "It's my partner, the ink from the octopus bucket."

The audience was talking a lot.

"The ink brings out the umami flavor of the food better. It's a very creative work."

Citron nodded solemnly: "I think it tastes very good!"

All three judges gave it very high marks.

Everyone looked at Teacher Lu's back with regret.

No matter how outstanding the cuisine is, it may be of no use in front of the ‘legendary chef’ Zhimi.

at the same time.

Lu Ye and Cong Youbing brought three dishes to the judging table.

Slowly removing the lid of the cup, the eyes of the audience widened.

The aroma swept the nostrils of the audience and judges, and the heat in front of their eyes formed a golden light.

This dish – it shines! !

In Zhimi's bewildered eyes.

Lu Ye said:

"My strongest area is not spicy food..."

Lu Ye's eyes narrowed: "It's the fruit!"

Zhimi was startled.

Fruits...are all-encompassing, and it would be difficult for any chef to say that they specialize in 'fruits'.

However, Zhimi looked at Teacher Lu's cooking and swallowed.

The light just now was composed of three kinds of golden tree fruits including golden cranberries!

"Magic Mapo Tofu."

Lu Ye said: "Please use it."

Pachira, Fu Ye, and Citron looked at each other.

Having made up her mind, Pa Qila's forehead was dripping with cold sweat, and she tremblingly scooped out a spoonful of tofu soaked in red soup.

Passing it to her red lips, Pachira sipped the soup from the corner of her mouth, feeling a warmth surge in her chest.

It is obviously spicy, but there is no irritation in the mouth, and there is no stress reaction in the intestines and stomach.

The taste combines the spicy, fragrant, hot and numbing properties of Mapo Tofu, and is mixed with the crispy and numbing flavor.

Pili fruit!

Pachira suddenly woke up.

As Lu Ye said, he used tree fruits to give it a spiciness, but also stimulated the deliciousness of Mapo Tofu.

It was as if he had fallen onto a piece of soft tofu, and was bounced up by the soft tofu. Spices and fruits flew towards him from all directions. A huge figure, Lu Ye holds the handle of the pot, cooking tofu and tree fruits together with himself!

"Ah..." Pachira breathed out softly, her eyes under the red sunglasses were misty, her face was slightly red, she came back to her senses and said: "W-well worthy of the name of magic!"

"In that case... let's vote." Fu Ye sighed.

"Yeah!" Citron nodded vigorously with red juice on his lips.

beep--

The audience looked stunned and burst into enthusiastic applause.

Zhimi's pupils contracted.

On the big screen, the score of [2:1] was displayed, and he actually lost!

The legendary chef lost to the champion chef!

Following tradition, Rikuye handed Shimi a spoon and asked him to try it himself.

"No need... I have to go back and study the dishes and strive to reach your level as soon as possible." Zhimi declined.

Lu Ye:?

Why don't you play by the rules?

Half an hour later.
