"It's so beautiful... Just sitting here makes me feel so happy!" Esther looked up at the "water curtain" around her curiously.

At this time, Guan Liyuan and the other five were in the only underwater private room in Guxiang Restaurant. To get to this private room, you need to go through a long underwater passage. The walls, ceiling, and floor around the room are all transparent, and you can see the water Pokémon swimming around in all directions.

This is also the sea water area in the non-display area of ​​the Guxiang Aquarium. There is only one such private room in Guxiang Restaurant, and of course it needs to be booked in advance.

Not long after Guan Liyuan arrived in the Kalos area, he and Zhimi booked this private room for a day, but only told him the approximate time. In exchange, he got a VIP invitation to the No. 1 House in the world...

At the same time, Guan Liyuan's visit to Guxiang Town did not alarm "others". After Arceus appeared, Guan Liyuan's popularity reached a new level. In the previous two gym challenges, the duel process was obviously not as exciting as the previous few times because the gym owner did not personally participate in the game. However, every game was full of popularity.

However, apart from some "acquaintances", others did not know Guan Liyuan's journey after getting ten badges, and it was difficult to guess the route after the badges were collected.

Zhi Mi, the idle Carlos Four Heavenly Kings, did not take the opportunity to promote his aquarium and restaurant, so Guan Liyuan's whereabouts are still kept secret.

"The design of this underwater private room in Guxiang Restaurant is really interesting... Ah! It's Squirtle, Carlos also has Squirtle?" Xiaoxia was surprised to see Squirtle swimming outside. Xiaoxia, who has an extra good impression of water, obviously likes this place very much.

Esther and Serena also looked very curious, only Xiaoai still looked indifferent...

"Is it novel? What if a Pokémon happens to excrete outside when we are eating? If it is a Howler, the excrement may be larger than this room." Xiaoai analyzed calmly.

Esther, Serena, Xiaoxia: ...

Fortunately, while the three of them were speechless, they were also immune to Xiaoai's daily ramblings and quickly changed the subject!

Soon after, accompanied by the sound of footsteps, Zhi Mi personally came out of the passage pushing a dining cart.

Except for Zhi Mi himself, no one else in the restaurant and aquarium knew who the guest was today. They only knew that Zhi Mi had turned down all other reservations in the past few days.

Zhi Mi was wearing a white chef's uniform with a blue kerchief tied around his collar. He looked like a middle-aged man in his thirties who was a bit handsome.

Guan Liyuan wanted to stand up and shake hands more formally, but Zhi Mi stretched out his hand and pressed it lightly. It seemed that at this moment, he just wanted to serve the diners with the identity of a chef first, and then talk about other things.

After that, it was the usual - after tasting delicious food and with the chef next to him, there must be all kinds of metaphorical praise!

Otherwise, it would expose his lack of education and greatly reduce his own status.

Fortunately, Guan Liyuan had made up lessons in advance and asked the "Eight-Kill Cooking God" many ways to praise, so he did not expose his lack of education...

After tasting the last dessert, Esther stood up and thanked him: "King Zhimi... No, Chef Zhimi, thank you for your hospitality. I am sorry for the trouble!"

"It's not a trouble. It is also a kind of enjoyment to present the 'art' of cooking to people who can appreciate it." Zhimi said elegantly.

It seems that Guan Liyuan's "make-up lessons" in advance are still effective. At least Zhimi is very happy to be praised.

"Mr. Liyuan seems to be a person who knows how to appreciate. I have a question that I hope you can answer... Mr. Liyuan, do you think cooking is an 'art'?" Zhimi asked.

Well, the side effect of performing well is that you will be "entangled" by such people, such as asking some inexplicable questions like this.

However, Zhimi's question now is obviously a free point question. Even if Guan Liyuan is not smart, he knows how to answer it at this time!

"Of course." Guan Liyuan said righteously.

"Oh? Then Mr. Liyuan, where does the artistry of cooking lie?" Zhi Mi asked.

This was an expected question. Guan Liyuan smiled slightly and said, "What do you think, Chef Zhi Mi?"

Just looking at Guan Liyuan's confident smile, it was obvious that he had his own opinions, so Zhi Mi didn't guess that this was actually a genuine "delaying tactic"...

"Me? In my humble opinion, cooking is very similar to Pokémon duels. The final form of cooking is 'disappearance', and Pokémon duels will eventually end. No matter how delicious the food or how exciting the duel is, there will eventually be a time when the memory fades. However,... the process of devoting yourself wholeheartedly is the 'art' itself." Zhi Mi said.

Guan Liyuan was not idle at this time. When Zhi Mi asked him "Is it art?", he had already privately chatted with "Eight Kills Food God" for help.

After Zhi Mi finished speaking, he looked at Guan Liyuan expectantly...

This kind of question obviously has no fixed answer. Even if you listen to your answer first, if you just say "You are right" or something like that afterwards, it will only be a disadvantage.

Guan Liyuan acted so cool before, he should have his own understanding...

"I think... cooking is more like 'evolution'!" Guan Liyuan said calmly.

"Oh? Evolution?" Zhimi looked interested.

"Whether it is the process of processing ingredients, cooking, or tasting... it will not make the ingredients disappear, it just changes its existence form. Top breeders can 'hear' the voice of evolution and then deduce how to promote evolution. I think real cooks should also be able to hear the voice of ingredients and then understand how to make their existence form the most perfect 'evolution'." Guan Liyuan said pretentiously. Of

course, in fact, it is just to connect the eight consecutive kills of the God of Food and the "secret of cooking" he said with Pokémon terminology...

"Ah! Sorry, I am a little too arrogant, obviously I can't even cook curry." Guan Liyuan also immediately stated this point, otherwise if Zhimi suddenly felt like exchanging cooking skills, Guan Liyuan would be at a loss.

"No, no, no, if Mr. Liyuan wants to learn, he will definitely become a master soon! And... it turns out that excellent trainers can hear the sound of 'evolution'? It seems that I still have a long way to go in cooking." Zhimi sighed.

Well, as a lazy king, the first thing that came to his mind at this time was not Pokémon training or Pokémon breeding.

Guan Liyuan just smiled and said nothing - I didn't lie, did I? I did hear the sound of the penguin after the evolution analysis... other trainers? If I can't even hear the sound of the penguin, what kind of trainer is he!

Listening to the conversation between Guan Liyuan and Zhi Mi, Esther and Serena couldn't help but look at Guan Liyuan with admiration...

Xiaoxia felt a little uncomfortable, guessing that something was wrong. As for Xiao Ai... she had already suggested to Guan Liyuan and Zhi Mi not to give up treatment, saying that what they said was a mess!

"Okay, I didn't make a mistake. Mr. Liyuan really won't disappoint you... Then how about trying another art?" After Zhi Mi asked this question, his temperament seemed to have changed a little, much "sharper" than before!

Another "art" is obviously the main topic of today - after confirming the eye contact, of course, there will be a Pokémon showdown!
