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

Chapter 646 Wusong, I am the champion!

The view from the floating restaurant is beautiful, but the underwater part is even more stunning.

Various vibrant coral reefs, with Pokémon in different shapes and colors moving back and forth among them.

It was simply a visual feast.

With its top-notch and delicious cuisine, Li Shuwen would gladly call this restaurant the strongest in Sinnoh!

The taste of this dish is somewhat familiar.

Without a doubt, the head chef, or his friend, is none other than Joichiro Saiba.

Wherever there's an event, there's Joichiro Saiba.

Unexpectedly, the next second, Uncle Caibo took the initiative to push the food cart to Li Shuwen's table.

"Hey, isn't this our Midas touch? He's really made our little shop shine!"

Li Shuwen sighed helplessly, "Uncle, you don't own this restaurant, do you?"

Saiba Joichiro smiled and said, "I would also like to set up a very creative restaurant like this, but unfortunately I'm short of money."

"Even if I worked all over the world, I probably wouldn't have enough to build a fraction of this restaurant."

The environment and the craftsmanship certainly justify the price of over 100,000 yuan per person.

If he hadn't become the chief, Li Shuwen wouldn't have bothered coming here to eat.

Even if Li Shuwen ate to his heart's content, his monthly food expenses would hardly exceed 100,000 Alliance Coins.

This is just a meal.

Although Li Shuwen is a pragmatist, it doesn't mean he's unaware of romance.

After the meal, the restaurant owner approached us with a camera and asked, "Could you take some photos for us?"

"A couple like this, with the coral reef behind them, is simply the best advertisement for our store."

Saiba Joichiro laughed and said, "Shinomiya, if you want to use these two for publicity, I'm afraid you'd have to give them several hundred million Alliance Coins."

The owner of Shinomiya was taken aback for a moment. "I'm sorry, I didn't take into account that you two are celebrities. I just returned from my studies in the Kalos region and I'm not very clear about what has happened in the Sinnoh region in recent years."

Uncle Caibo waved his hand, "My junior is focused on studying cooking and doesn't really know much about trainers."

"Even though his restaurant is located near Lily of the Valley, it's because the coral reefs there are the most beautiful and suitable location to build a floating restaurant."

After Uncle Caibo introduced Li Shuwen and Xilona's identities, Boss Shinomiya was stunned for a moment.

"I never expected it to be the renowned Midas Touch Li Shuwen and Sinnoh Champion Cynthia. I heard your Midas Touch also works on cooking?"

The owner of Shinomiya had a somewhat intense gaze.

Li Shuwen: "..."

For a moment, Li Shuwen really didn't know how to answer.

Uncle Saibo said with a smile, "Some time ago, during the academy's assessment, Shinomiya also served as an examiner for Soma and the others."

"It must be the Midas touch legend that I heard from Soma."

Li Shuwen smiled and said, "Since you're a friend of the uncle, we can take a picture and hang it in the shop, but please don't use our name for advertising."

The owner, Shinomiya, nodded. "Don't worry, my restaurant will let its performance speak for itself."

"From now on, all meals at the floating restaurant will be free for the two of you!"

Li Shuwen quickly raised his hand to refuse, "No, you have to pay for the meal."

The owner of Shinomiya couldn't refuse any longer, so he said, "Fine, at least I'll treat you to this meal."

After leaving the floating restaurant, Li Shuwen and Shirona wandered around the area surrounding Lily of the Valley.

Two days later, a young man with blue-silver hair, wearing a burgundy suit, dark circles under his eyes, and exuding a strong sense of resentment, appeared before them.

Cynthia clearly felt a little guilty after being bumped into by this person.

The young man said casually, "Isn't this our Sinnoh champion, Cynthia? I never thought I'd actually see you in person."

Cynthia shrank back. "Gossip, you've had a tough time these past few days."

Wu Song's forehead veins bulged. "You promised to come back to work after the dojo rankings, but I've been waiting for you for two days!"

"Do you know how I've been these past two days?"

Wusong took out a document. "The chairman has approved it. The person who will go to the Kalos region for exchange next month is you, Sinnoh Champion Cynthia."

Cynthia's eyes widened. "Gossip, you're taking revenge!"

Wu Song spread his hands: "Originally, you should have decided who would attend the exchange meeting, but you were too busy dating."

"Naturally, it's up to those who stay at their posts to decide who will participate."

Cynthia glared at Gossip, "Gossip, I am the champion!"

"Watch out, or I might not approve your leave!"

Wusong snorted coldly, "Cynthia, you'll regret this!"

As he spoke, Wusong took out a large stack of documents. "These are all tasks you need to handle immediately. Go and deal with them yourself."

"I'm going to enjoy my 'rare' vacation!"

Looking at the documents in her hand, Cynthia felt a headache coming on.

She's not like Wusong, a superhuman with an developed brain; her document processing speed is nowhere near Wusong's.

Li Shuwen smiled and said, "If you don't mind, we can hold the next date in your office."

"I'll handle these documents for you."

Although Li Shuwen is not a brain-powered superhuman like Wu Song, his superpowers still make his brain more agile.

Together, Shirona and Li Shuwen finally resolved all the documents before dinner.

Cynthia lay on the table, "These documents are simply inhuman. I'd rather fight ten Gossou than deal with these documents."

In fact, the Four Heavenly Kings and the Champions, as members of the fighting force, don't have many documents to handle.

For those accustomed to combat, the sense of disillusionment they experience when faced with tedious, uninteresting paperwork is the root of the difficulty.

It was only after finishing the documents that Cynthia learned that she needed to leave the next day to deal with a land dispute between humans and Pokémon in a certain town.

Without sufficient military force, it is impossible to get both sides to sit down and negotiate peacefully.

Because it is a league system, many cities actually have a great deal of administrative power.

If it weren't for the Four Heavenly Kings, the town mayor probably wouldn't even give you a second glance.

The place Cynthia is going to is inhabited by fierce and unruly people. No one who isn't a regional champion can keep these guys in check.

Cynthia said dejectedly, "It seems our date has to end here. We'll go play again next time I have time."

Li Shuwen raised an eyebrow. "No problem. I'll go back and make some arrangements so we can go to the Carlos region together next month."

Cynthia's eyes lit up. "That's right, I have to go to the Carlos region for the exchange meeting, but there's no rule saying you can't come along!"

"Wait a minute, I'll add you to the chat list too. Li Shuwen, the Midas Touch, that's an exclusive patent of our Sinnoh region."

Li Shuwen stared intently at Cynthia, who stuck out her tongue.

"Okay, I won't say anything more."

After having dinner with Cynthia, Li Shuwen boarded the ship back to Veil City.

After the gym rankings, Li Shuwen's Pokémon also made significant progress.

After a few days of rest, it's about time to resume training and strive for even greater heights.

As soon as Li Shuwen disembarked, he saw a banner hung up at the port.

The entire city of Veilport warmly welcomes Li Shuwen, the Master of Sinnoh Gym and the Midas Touch, back to his hometown!

If the banner were any shorter, it probably wouldn't be able to hold all these words.
