Chapter 364: Challenge from Xiaogang

Chapter 364: Challenge from Xiaogang

"This big eater challenge is very important, everyone must cheer up!" The supervisor was giving a speech through a loudspeaker.

The trio saluted and replied, "Understood!"

The three of them breathed a sigh of relief only after the supervisor left.

"I thought I could eat for free if I was successful in the application, but I didn't expect it to be so hard, meow~" Meow Meow sighed.

"What nonsense!" Musashi sneered, "This is a fund-raising operation. It's preparing for the future!"

"That's right. If you work a few more jobs, you'll have the money to make robots next time!" Kojiro agreed.

Suddenly, Miaomiao opened his mouth and stammered, "Cadre!"

"Don't try to be lazy!" Musashi hit Meowth on the head with his brow, "It's no use using the cadres as a shield!"

"Hello, officers!" Kojiro stood up straight suddenly.

Musashi was stunned for a moment, turned around, and was about to scream, but Kojiro and Meowth rushed over in time and covered his mouth.

"Why are you here, meow?"

"I should be the one asking you this..."

Lu Ye said helplessly: "Last time I asked you to sell trainer cards, you won't be reduced to working part-time, right?"

In the P1 fighting competition before Christmas, Kojiro carried forward the spirit of the merchant's son and combined PTCG with the league card.

According to the principle of 30% and 70% split, 30% of the income will be temporarily kept by Lu Ye, and the rest will be used as funds for the trio.

That's a lot of money, but right now...

Lu Ye looked at the pale and skinny trio, and twitched his mouth: "Are you guys going to catch Pikachu again?"

"It's not about catching Pikachu." Kojiro scratched his head. "The new robot made with the funds was originally intended to deal with the little devil."

"But when Meowth made his grand appearance," Meowth said, "he encountered a group of poachers who wanted to take Pikachu."

"So, we teamed up with the little brat and arrested those poachers!" Musashi said proudly with his hands on his hips, then slumped his shoulders.

"But the robot exploded and the funding was lost..."

"But please don't worry, we will definitely bring Pikachu to you!" Kojiro said loudly.

“Soooooooo!!”

Lu Ye was slightly stunned. Wow, this is a classic cooperation plot! With these three kind-hearted idiots, the reputation of Team Rocket might be further improved.

But due to lack of funds, he had no choice but to go out to work... This is too sad! "I have said many times that I don't need Pikachu, you guys should take care of yourself."

Lu Ye rubbed his brows and said, "I will transfer the 30% of the previous income to your account, but you are not allowed to use it to make weird props!"

The trio was stunned for a moment.

"Cadres! (;Д｀)"

"By the way, you can also pay attention to the Alliance Conference." Lu Ye said casually, "You can set up a stall and maybe make a lot of money."

"You're the one who wants to participate, right? Don't worry, we will definitely collect information about your opponent for you, meow!"

"In the name of making trainer cards, let them be defenseless!"

"Hey, what a great feeling~~"

Lu Ye interrupted the three people's imagination and glanced at the main stage where the crowd was gradually gathering.

"The game is about to start, aren't you going to help?"

"Oh no! My supervisor is going to scold me!" Kojiro held down his hat and ran to help.

"Damn you, Kojiro, you sneaked away, meow~!"

The three idiots hurried to the kitchen to prepare food for the eating contest.

In the kitchen, Xiaogang, wearing a chef's apron, squinted his eyes and looked at the three people.

"You three... look familiar?"

The trio sweated profusely.

"Never mind." Xiao Gang lowered his head and said seriously, "There is a great monster in this room, so we must prepare enough food!"

"Really? Kid... Satoshi's Snorlax doesn't look very powerful either." Musashi said.

"No." Xiao Gang looked serious and raised his head to look at the display screen in the back kitchen.

In the picture, Ami, with light yellow braids and wearing a dress, has a flushed face and is looking at her toes.

The electric dragon waved his short hands and greeted the media, "Mee Miu~"

"It's the big eater who has dominated three competitions in a row!" Xiaogang narrowed his eyes.

…

Channel for contestants.

Gengar bared his fangs and claws, provoking Snorlax beside him.

"Kou Jie!"

“Snorlax…(￣—￣)” Snorlax rubbed his belly, unmoved.

The young man Xiaozhi clenched his fists and said, "Even if it's Teacher Lu, we won't lose!"

Lu Ye nodded in agreement.

According to the competition rules, trainers need to go on stage with their Pokémon.

Obviously, he was holding Gengar back.

With the physique of a super newbie, he must be a monster when it comes to eating.

"I'm just here to make up the numbers." Lu Ye shrugged and turned his head to the side.

"The one you really want to challenge should be Miss Ami."

“Hmm…” Ah Mi’s face turned red to her ears, and she finally nodded and greeted him.

"Mr. Lu, Xiaozhi... good afternoon."

"Oh, Senior Ami, long time no see!" Xiaozhi said with a big smile, "But Snorlax and I will not show mercy!"

"Kirby~(￣—￣)" Snorlax yawned and suddenly sniffed his nose.

"Koujie~(╯▽╰)" Gengar took out an energy cube from his pocket and licked it slowly back and forth with his tongue.

"Kirby...(╥﹏╥)" Snorlax shed tears for Zhenxiang, who could not get it.

"Hey, Mr. Lu!"

Into the contestant passage, a thinly dressed pink-haired girl walked in, followed by a Charem.

"This is..." Xiaozhi, who had not yet gone to Sinnoh, was slightly stunned.

"Fighter, Ah Li!" Ah Li smiled and stretched out his hand to Xiaozhi, "Nice to meet you!"

Suddenly, Ah Li shivered and rubbed his bare upper arms.

Lu Ye took a glance and was slightly moved.

It’s so hard to wear a vest in such a cold weather...

"Ms. Li, I won't admit defeat!"

"Hehe, for this competition, Charem and I have been hungry for three days!"

You are just trying to save three days' worth of food!

Lu Ye shook his head and looked at the bustling audience seats outside the aisle.

"Dear audience, the annual big eater challenge has officially begun!"

The host's passionate and loud voice rang out: "The prizes include precious portable props, CDs, and incense. Let's wait and see who will win!"

"The first to appear is Ash from Pallet Town, and his Snorlax! Oh! I didn't expect this rookie to be such a heavyweight!"

Xiaozhi put his hat on backwards and nodded to Snorlax: "Let's go, Snorlax!"

It's just a meal, why do you treat it like a formidable enemy...

Lu Ye coughed lightly and walked slowly onto the stage. Geng Gui had two spoons in his hands.

"Kou Jie! Ψ(￣￣)Ψ"

Lu Ye: "Did you get it from the Super Power Gym?"

Gengar nodded carelessly.

Lu Ye sighed softly.

Every time a spoon is used, there is one less Yongjira.

No trade, no killing! When Lu Ye appeared on the stage, the whole audience cheered enthusiastically.

First of all, this handsome guy is really eye-catching.

Secondly, there are also many fans of Mr. Lu in Kuye City.

"Come on, Mr. Lu~!"

"Look, Miss Ami is here!"

When ordinary Ami and Electric Dragon walked onto the stage, the cheers became even louder.

Ami looked at her toes, mustered up the courage to look up, and smiled towards the camera.

"Ms. Ami!!"

"awsl!"

Offstage, Kojiro stroked his chin and said, "Is this the popularity of a three-time glutton?"

"No, Meow Meow thinks it's just because it's cute." Meow Meow's eyes were filled with hearts.

"Hey, Meow Meow you're disgusting!" Musashi said with contempt.

"Honestly." Kojiro rarely reached a consensus, scratching his head and blushing, "I think so too..."

As the referee's flag was waved, the staff used carts to bring the food onto the stage like a buffet.

Fruit soup, dessert pie, curry beef rice, pork bone ramen, chocolate crepe...

Ah Li swallowed his saliva, his expression somewhat moved.

Why are there so many delicious foods? This is too expensive!

"Chare..." Charem, who only ate one fruit a day, was also stunned.

Commentator: "It looks like contestant Li is already falling behind!"

While Ah Li was in a daze, Xiaozhi had already wolfed down the red bean bread in front of him.

"Kirby~(￣～￣)" Snorlax moved the dishes left and right and poured the curry directly into his mouth.

"Oh my god, Xiaozhi has shown amazing fighting power!"

"It's absolutely on par with the other contestants' Pokémon!"

The corner of Lu Ye's mouth twitched, and he glanced at Geng Gui who was standing beside him with an embarrassed look on his face.

"Can't eat?"

"Kou Jie..." Geng Gui nodded humbly.

Maybe it’s the homemade cuisine that has developed Gengar’s taste.

In addition, the fruits on site are all basic tree fruits such as peaches... and the quality is also uneven.

"Then you can choose the dishes made by Xiaogang and Xiaojiro." Lu Ye whispered, "You should be able to tell them apart, right?"

Gengar's eyes lit up, and he floated over to the cart, excitedly picked up the ramen, and poured it into his mouth.

"Kou Jie! (*⊙~⊙)"

"A big comeback! Gengar is not afraid of the burn and comes from behind. The other players need to work harder!"

This commentator is too passionate... Lu Ye looked around in embarrassment.

The other trainers were also working hard to eat, but their speed was far inferior to that of Xiaozhi.

Xiaozhi was like a humanoid beast, sucking in the storm, leaving the other players dumbfounded.

But suddenly, Lu Ye's eyes widened.

"Contestant Ami! The real big eater has appeared!!"

The petite A-Mi chewed in an elegant posture. The mountain of sour plum rice balls in front of her was decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Although it looks very full, its small body is like a black hole and its appetite is unfathomable.

Lu Ye swallowed.

All around was the sound of crazy cheering for Ami.

Ami's ears turned red, but her eating speed did not slow down at all.

The Electric Dragon beside her is not inferior to Snorlax at all.

"Strange..." Lu Ye looked at Ami's flat figure and muttered, "Where did she go?"

"Okay! Halftime!"

As the referee blew the whistle, there was a burst of exclamations on the field.

Ami is far ahead with an astonishing advantage, while Satoshi and Snorlax are in second place.

Lu Ye and Gengar, thanks to the picky eater Gengar, still took the third place.

"Kou Jie~~" Gengar picked his teeth and used his mind to make the super-powered spoon float around.

Xiaozhi held his stomach and burped, looking troubled: "Too strong, Ami-senpai!"

"Ah..." Ami was slightly startled. She lowered her head slightly and could see her toes without any obstruction.

Is it me, I ate too much? But, I am really not full...

During the halftime break, Xiaogang came behind Xiaozhi and patted him on the shoulder.

"No need to doubt yourself." Xiao Gang narrowed his eyes, "After all, Miss Ami has won the title for three consecutive years!"

"Don't mention it so loudly..." Ami said in a low voice.

Lu Ye didn't care.

Anyway, there seems to be a reward for the third place...

"During the halftime," Xiao Gang clapped his hands and suggested, "Why don't we all go and digest the food for a while?"

"What is the specific method?" Li asked with his head tilted.

"Fight, fight!" Xiaozhi's eyes lit up, "Senior Ami, let's fight again!"

Ami said softly, "But... strenuous exercise after a meal will put a lot of burden on the elves."

"But...Snorlax is hungry again." Xiaozhi scratched his head in embarrassment.

"Kirby!" Snorlax narrowed his eyes and nodded.

Ah Mi looked at the electric dragon and said softly, "Are you okay?"

"Mee Meow!" the electric dragon shouted with great momentum.

Ami smiled slightly, looked at the electric dragon, and nodded without saying a word.

"Then let's have a fight~"

"There doesn't seem to be any fighting venue nearby?" Xiaogang frowned.

“It doesn’t matter!”

Lu Ye cheerfully added fuel to the fire and took out his cell phone.

"I'll call Ma Zhishi and we can go to the Dead Leaf Gym."

It doesn’t matter whether you are a big eater or not.

It's more interesting to see Xiaozhi get humiliated! "Good idea." Xiaogang said.

Xiaozhi also rubbed the Pikachu on his shoulder, his eyes were sharp: "Senior Ami, let's fight!"

…

Dead Leaf Gym.

"ha?"

Ma Zhishi, who was taking a nap, looked like DIO.

"You want to have a competition, why come to my Dead Leaf Gym?"

Lu Ye suggested: "How about challenging the Dead Leaf Gym?"

"Please choose the venue as you like!" Ma Zhishi laughed.

Xiaozhi and Ami came to the two sides of the battle field.

Lu Ye, Xiao Gang and A Li stood in the audience and watched.

"I once fought against Ami." Xiaogang said, "It was at that time that Professor Oak proposed the new attribute of Steel."

"That is to say, Senior Ami was originally the head of the Rock Department?" Li asked in surprise.

Xiao Gang nodded: "But... I also have some research on steel."

The two sides' battle Pokémon are Snorlax and Electric Dragon.

Lu Ye pondered for a moment.

It makes sense that a Steel-type gym leader's partner is an Electric Dragon!

Although Xiaozhi's Snorlax was extremely talented, he still fell to the hands of his experienced predecessor.

"What a pity...it was just that little bit short!" Xiaozhi scratched his head angrily.

"Don't you even look at which gym this is!" Ma Zhishi laughed, "The electric type is the strongest!"

Suddenly, Ma Zhishi noticed Xiaozhi's gaze and kept silent.

Don't seek death.

This guy... is a monster whose body can withstand Volt's attacks!

"The second half is about to begin?" Lu Ye looked at his watch.

"Half an hour left."

Xiao Gang stood up, looked at Lu Ye, squinted his eyes, and said seriously.

"Teacher Lu, how about we have a sparring match as well?"
