Pokémon: I just became a Gym Leader, and Cynthia proposed to me.

Chapter 81 Spring Outing

Early the next morning, Li Shuwen and Li Meining drove to pick up Shinji.

Li Meining asked excitedly, "Shinji, which Pokémon did you choose? Piplup or Chimchar?"

Shinji revealed a Poké Ball. "I chose Turtwig."

Li Meining frowned slightly. "Turtle is not bad either, but after Turtle evolves, it will lose its initiative and can only passively deal with the enemy's attacks."

Shinji glanced at her indifferently, "You only see Torterra's weaknesses, not its strengths. You're the type of trainer who's only good at using one tactic."

"It is easier for opponents to devise targeted tactics against it than the Earth-based tortoise."

Li Meining snorted, "Then Shinji, let's have a contest and see who can catch the Golden Carp on this spring outing!"

Shinji shook his head slightly. "I'm not interested in the so-called Golden Magikarp. I advise you not to focus on your outing either."

"Learn more about wilderness survival so you don't get lost on your trip and end up sleeping hungry."

Li Meining glared at him angrily, "You're the one who's going hungry!"

Li Shuwen took out an old notebook and handed it to Shinji.

"These are the basic Pokémon food recipes for the eighteen types that I collected and created, as well as the growth Pokémon food recipes for the fourteen egg groups."

"The Fairy type is not active in our hemisphere, so we have to source materials from the Kalos or Alola regions to make it."

"Generally speaking, any Pokémon can be made into a recipe that best suits its type by combining its type with the Pokémon food recipes from its egg group."

"The advantage of basic recipes is that the ingredients are simple and inexpensive, making them suitable for beginners to try and develop their own unique recipes."

Shinji held the notebook as if he had obtained a peerless martial arts manual.

Shinji respectfully expressed his gratitude, "Thank you, Shuwen-nii."

Li Shuwen smiled and said, "After we get to Cuiyun Mountain, could you show Xiao Ning around the mountain for me and help her get used to traveling?"

"Let her know what she can eat, where she can rest, and which herbs can be used for treatment."

Shinji nodded. "Leave it to me."

Shinji consistently ranked first in both theory and practice classes at the Trainer Academy.

The fact that Li Meining and Shinji, who are the same age, are doing wilderness survival together makes it easier to inspire Li Meining's ambition.

When they arrived at the hotel, Cynthia and Gadriya were already waiting for them in the lobby.

Upon seeing Li Shuwen's car, the two sisters walked out of the hall.

Cynthia sat in the front passenger seat, while Cattleya and the two children sat in the back.

As soon as she got in the car, Cattleya became very excited. "Let's go! Don't let someone else catch my golden Magikarp!"

Li Shuwen started the car. "Is Qingcai good at fishing?"

Caldelia smiled and said, "It's alright, I often go fishing at the beach."

Cynthia called her out on it, saying, "She's the kind of person who can't even catch a Magikarp; she's just someone who likes to join in the fun."

Li Shuwen said, "I bought ten fishing rods, two for each of us. The extra rod will increase the chances of catching fish."

"Okay, okay!" Catharia was also worried that her fishing skills wouldn't be good enough to catch any fish.

After parking the car at the foot of the mountain, Li Shuwen carried a large bag full of cooking utensils and food on his back, and then released Kommo-o, Gallade, and Primeape to help carry a bag of food.

Li Meining was carrying a large bag full of food on her back and holding a large box of pastries in her arms.

Cynthia spoke up, "Xiao Ning, let me get the pastries."

Li Meining shook her head, "Don't worry, Sister Cabbage, this weight is nothing to me."

Cattleya frowned: "Xiao Ning, don't be stubborn."

Li Shuwen said, "There are many rest stops along the way up the mountain. We'll rest as we go, and I estimate that this box of pastries will be finished before we reach the waterfall."

Shinji silently extended his hand. "Give me the box."

Li Meining opened the box, took out a bag from her clothes, put a few of each kind of pastry in it, and reluctantly handed the box to Shinji.

"You'd better keep an eye on the pastries."

Cynthia shook her head. Li Meining had only volunteered to carry the pastry box so that she could eat the pastries as soon as possible.

Cattleya: "..."

Is this pastry really that delicious?

Cattleya, who gets full after just a couple of bites, will never understand the thoughts of a big eater and a foodie.

Before they even reached the first rest stop, Gadriya's forehead was already sweating.

"How much longer until we can rest?"

Li Meining patted the pastry crumbs off her hands and said, "We'll be there soon."

When Jia Deliya glanced at Li Meining's waist pocket, she saw that it was almost empty!

"You've almost finished all those pastries?"

Upon arriving at the first rest stop, Li Shuwen immediately took out a picnic blanket and folding stools from the bag on the back of the scaled dragon and distributed them to everyone.

Ignoring her image, Cattleya lay down directly on the picnic blanket.

"Ah, that feels so good."

Li Shuwen said with a smile, "Everyone, take a half-hour break, have something to eat and some water."

Li Shuwen took out a box of ice cream and handed it to Cynthia.

"Cabbage, ice cream, chocolate and vanilla combo."

Cynthia's eyes lit up. "You even brought ice cream up the mountain!"

Cattleya immediately sat up. "Where's mine?"

Li Shuwen took out a box of ice cream and handed it to Jia Deliya.

"Creamy flavor".

Jia Deliya was somewhat surprised, not expecting that Li Shuwen knew her favorite flavor.

Li Meining leaned in, "Me too!"

Li Shuwen gave her a box, and of course, he didn't forget Shinji in the corner.

Li Meining snatched the ice cream, "I'll go get it for Shinji."

When they reached Shinji's side, Li Meining whispered, "Once we get to the waterfall, you and I will immediately take Aoya away so that Shinji and Aoya can be alone together."

"Do you understand?"

Shinji nodded. "No problem."

After saying that, Li Meining tried to leave, but Shinji blocked her way.

"My ice cream."

Li Meining handed the ice cream to Shinji as if cutting off a piece of her own flesh.

"Consider this an advance payment!"

After resting for half an hour, Gadriya completely lost the motivation to climb the mountain.

If Cattleya could use her telekinesis to lift her body and fly.

She flew directly up the mountain.

Thanks to Butler Shilan, Gadalia took out a Poké Ball and released a Dodo.

Gadrilia rode on the toy, feeling the gentle breeze blowing past her ears, and smiled happily, "This is what a spring outing should be like~"

Cynthia shook her head. "Qingcai has been in poor health since she was a child, so this is the only way to get her up the mountain."

Li Shuwen clapped his hands, "It's my fault, I forgot to rent a few tuk-tuks for transportation."

Cynthia shook her head. "A spring outing is about measuring the land with your own feet; otherwise, you might as well just drive around on the plains."

With Cattleya no longer a burden, everyone's ascent up the mountain became much faster.

We only rested twice before successfully reaching the waterfall.

Cattleya nodded in satisfaction, "I didn't expect there to be such a magnificent waterfall here. This trip was definitely worthwhile."

Li Shuwen pointed to a cave not far away, "That's where Infernape lives. I caught Infernape here."

"Thinking back now, I still miss that scene. It was here that Jangmo-o battled Infernape, which evolved into Kommo-o.

Just then, as if hearing a sound, a hairy head poked out of the cave.

Two long ears, big round eyes, and a coat of brown fur.

"Iwu~"

Li Meining, with her sharpest eyes, exclaimed, "Look, it's Ibrahimovic!"
