An abstract trainer who taught Charmander the Incinerate move

Chapter 260 Divine Cuisine, Each Displaying Their Unique Skills (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
clang--! ! !
The resounding bell rang like a battle horn, instantly igniting the atmosphere throughout the arena!
Although Master Xiaogang, the representative from Kanto, still squinted, his movements were as steady as a rock.

Instead of heading towards traditional kitchen utensils, he swung his arm, and a super ball arced through the air.

With a deep rumble, the enormous Onix made its grand entrance, its rocky body almost filling most of the cooking area!
"Onix, Extreme Impact!!!"

Xiao Gang's voice was steady and short.

The Onix let out a low growl, and its thick, rocky tail, as nimbly as the most precise robotic arm, coiled up several huge pieces of top-quality tender meat and hard tree fruits, gently tossing them into the air.

It did not use brute force to crush, but rather used precise control to strike and grind with the rock edges of different parts of its body!
The firm steak softens under its caress, as if it has undergone a long process of physical tenderization; the hard shell of the tree fruit is cleverly shattered, revealing the plump flesh inside.

"Did you all see that?!"

Mo Zhen rushed to the commentary booth, grabbed the microphone, and raised her voice with excitement, filled with the joy of discovering a new continent.

"A miracle! This is the exclusive secret technique of the Rock-type master in Dark Grey City! Master Brock's Onix is ​​no ordinary creature! It lives year-round in the unique mineral rock layers of Dark Grey City, and its body is permeated with a variety of rare trace elements and earth energy!"

He waved his arm dramatically, pointing at the falling mineral dust.

"Look! With the Onix's loving rubbing, its life energy is perfectly integrated into every fiber of the food! This is not just processing the food, it is infusing the food with the soul of the earth, giving it the weight and resilience of the rock type! By eating this dish, you will not only receive a taste experience, but also nourishment for life!"

There was an uproar in the audience.

Xiaoxia covered her forehead, her face showing helplessness yet also a hint of barely perceptible pride.

"Sigh, this idiot... Although his methods are always so embarrassing, his skill in using Onix to prepare ingredients is truly unparalleled."

Zhu Lan nodded slightly with great interest, her icy blue eyes sparkling with the light of an archaeologist discovering ancient ruins.

"Combining Pokémon's characteristics with cooking in this way... utilizing the minerals carried by Rock Pokémon... interesting, this may contain the dietary wisdom of ancient humans living in symbiosis with Pokémon."

Mao's eyes sparkled in Alora.

Wow! Cooking with Pokémon bodies! That's amazing! Just like our Z-Moves, so full of passion!

Carlos's chef, Jimmy, maintained the elegance of a French chef, but his slightly forward-leaning posture and focused gaze betrayed his interest.

"Using the physiological characteristics of Pokémon for both physical and chemical treatment... well, it's a crude approach, but the idea is worth learning from."

The audience gasped in surprise.

"So Onix can be used like this?"

"Will I get pregnant if I eat this?"

"What do you know! That's nutrition!"

At the same time, Papa of Padia took a deep breath, as if performing some kind of sacred ritual.

He solemnly opened the huge, weather-looking backpack.

The first thing taken out was a whole, enormous ham, its color a deep crimson, its fat marbling as delicate and tempting as marble—a famous ingredient from Parthia, the Iberian ham made from the fragrant pig.

It exudes a rich and enticing aroma, clearly indicating that it is a top-quality product that has been aged in cellars for a long time.

The ham slices were precise and swift, cut into paper-thin slices. Then, freshly picked hot peppers, dog-ear bread, milt, and other ingredients were laid out in an orderly fashion.

As the sandwich took shape, Pipa's expression became incredibly solemn.

He took out a series of small, antique-looking, and tightly sealed bottles from the deepest part of his backpack, as if they were sacred objects.

He carefully unscrewed the bottle cap—in an instant, an indescribable complex fragrance burst forth!

The aroma seemed to combine the freshness of the forest, the saltiness of the ocean, the richness of the earth, and the sweetness of the fruit, instantly overpowering all the other smells on the field!
Piper held her breath and sparingly but precisely dripped the secret seasoning, which was shimmering in the bottle, onto the inside of the sandwich.

Om-! ! !
The moment the seasonings came into contact with the ingredients, the light in the entire arena seemed to distort!
The sandwich in Piper's hand seemed to have turned into a vortex of energy!

In a daze, everyone seemed to see a huge, ferocious hairy crab phantom swinging its giant pincers, infusing the toughness of the mountain rocks into it!

A mysterious shadow of a stone bird swept past, bringing with it a sharp, sudden, and powerful flavor!

The heavy, armor-like worm-like phantoms swirl around, giving it the stability and endurance of the earth!

A raging, majestic illusion of teeth surged past, injecting a primal, untamed force!
Finally, the enormous phantom of the Roaring Tyrant seemed to open the gaping maw of an abyss, merging the lake's depth and vibrant essence into it!

The phantoms of many Pokémon swirled and hissed, eventually transforming into streaks of light that disappeared into the seemingly ordinary sandwich!
The strange phenomenon dissipated, and the sandwich still looked simple, but everyone could feel that the energy and soul it contained were completely different!

"A miracle! It's like a miracle has been performed again!"

Mo Zhen was so excited that her voice almost cracked, and she grabbed the microphone and started talking excitedly.

"Dear viewers! Did you see that? That's not an illusion! That's the ultimate secret, guarded by countless Pokémon Masters and imbued with the essence of the Padia land—the Secret Seasoning!"

He opened his arms, singing as if in an aria.

"This drop of seasoning is the fruit of adventure! It is proof of friendship! It is a taste bridge that transcends the ancient and modern! It has transcended the realm of seasoning. It is the master ball of the culinary world, the supreme artifact that can capture all taste buds! Master Piper is not only a chef, but also an alchemist of taste!"

"Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh!!! That's right! That's exactly it! Well said!"

Outside the venue, Dan Yu, who was peering through the glass wall, heard Mo Zhen's enthusiastic praise of the secret seasoning and her contribution, and instantly became excited to the extreme again!
Her cheeks were flushed, her eyes were glazed, and her body writhed like a snake as she pounded on the reinforced glass, making loud banging noises.

"Did you hear that! Did you hear that! Wu Li! Master Mo Zhen understands! He understands everything!"

She screamed at her brother, then turned sharply towards the arena, almost squeezing her face against the glass.

"The power of that secret seasoning! Every drop contains my share! I collected it by riding Gruulton and punching and kicking down those Pokémon that stood in my way! All my love is concentrated in it! Pipa is just the sandwich maker! I am the one who infuses the soul! Master Mozhen—come and taste my love! Oh my gosh—!!!"

Seeing Danyu's frenzy, Wuli shrank even further in the corner, wishing she could disappear into the ground.

Alola's Mao brought a performance full of southern charm.

"Sweet and Cool Queen! Tropical Tap Dance - Mixing and Blending!"

Sweet Cold Beauty gracefully and powerfully raised her long, rounded thighs covered with smooth red scales, and then, like a tap dancer, precisely and rhythmically stepped into a huge wooden mortar.

A variety of tropical fruits and spices are placed in the wooden mortar. With each stomp, vibrant juices burst forth, and the fruit pulp and spices are fully squeezed and blended.

Some of the juice flowed down the smooth, strong curves of the sweet, cold, and beautiful thighs, dripping back into the wooden mortar, as if it had undergone some kind of special seasoning.

The whole process was both powerful and strangely alluring.

A chorus of swallowing sounds erupted from the audience, and many male viewers stared wide-eyed, their faces flushed.

"Alola is such a wonderful place..."

"I suddenly really want to become that wooden mortar..."

"Oh my god, I wonder if this kid can handle watching this!"

Xiao Gang opened his eyes again at some point, and blood slowly flowed from his nose.

"Oh! This passionate cooking style! These lines that perfectly blend strength and beauty! Miss Sweet and Cold, would you please..."

Before he could finish speaking, Xiaogang was once again knocked to the ground by Xiaoxia's precise water gun attack. "Disgraceful wretch! Focus on the competition!"

Mo Zhen watched Mao's movements, his face showing the curiosity and confusion an artist would have when encountering an unknown style.

He stroked his chin, observing carefully.

"Hmm? Master Mao's style here is quite unique. On one side, the sweet and cool Queen is making jam with passionate dance steps? On the other side, she's skillfully rolling out dough? Like dumpling wrappers? And there's a lot of fresh cream prepared next to her? Wait... there's also a bunch of bright red chilies and rich bean paste over there? This combination is unprecedented! The flavors of Alola are indeed full of surprises and unknowns!"

Just as Mo Zhen was trying to decipher Mao's idea, a sound as precise and magnificent as a symphony came from the Carlos area!

Master Zhimi stood with a focused expression, like a conductor.

His ace, the Iron Arm Shrimp Cannon, hovered to the side, its massive pincers precisely spraying high-pressure water jets to instantly slice the tender fish meat into evenly thick, almost transparent slices, while the other pincer processed the sauce like a high-speed blender.

And Zimi himself displayed amazing skills.

Holding three different types of knives in each hand, he simultaneously processes different ingredients like an acrobat, cutting, chopping, carving, and engraving in a dazzling display.

At the same time, he moved with precision, controlling multiple burners, with the frying pan, soup pot, and oven operating simultaneously!
The butter sizzled as it melted in the pan, red wine was poured in and burst into a brilliant flame, and the oven gave an enticing "ding".

He was performing a ballet in the kitchen, every movement perfectly timed, efficient and elegant, as he meticulously prepared a complex and beautifully plated Provençal fish soup, paired with pan-fried foie gras and truffle sauce.

"Magnificent! The ultimate in aesthetics!"

Mo Zhen was immediately drawn in and roared loudly.

"Ladies and gentlemen! This is the culinary art of the Carlos region! Master Jimmy is preparing the legendary Carlos dish—Provençal fish soup with pan-seared foie gras and black truffles! Behold the iron-armed shrimp's precise control of water pressure, perfectly preserving the fish's tenderness! Behold Master Jimmy's incredible skill in simultaneously wielding twelve culinary utensils, like a thousand-armed Guanyin! The dance of flames, the symphony of spices, the concerto of sauces! This is not merely cooking; it is creating an edible work of art!"

The audience craned their necks, captivated by the elegant and efficient technique and the rich aroma that filled the air.

Wow! That's amazing! It's like watching a performance!

"Do people in Carlos always have such a sense of ritual when they eat?"

"I feel like I'll become more elegant after this meal!"

Even chefs from other regions couldn't help but cast admiring glances at him.

At the heart of the arena, the domestic civil war in United States attracted the most attention.

On one side, there is a bustling, vibrant atmosphere; on the other, there is a chilling, industrial atmosphere.

The three brothers of Tian Tong had firm eyes and worked together seamlessly.

The cold-water monkey jumped onto the specially made water tank, its tail glowing blue. A clear, sweet "water of life," containing water-based energy, gushed out and poured into the pot, serving as the base water for all the dishes.

The flames on the monkey's tail burn fiercely, releasing the "fire of life," adjusting the heat according to different needs, sometimes simmering over a low flame, sometimes stir-frying over a high flame.

The cauliflower monkeys then pluck the freshest and crispest parts from the cauliflower on their heads, using them as the main ingredients for salads and side dishes.

The three monkeys and the three brothers worked together seamlessly, washing, chopping, stir-frying, boiling, and plating... The whole process was smooth and fluid, full of harmony and vitality between humans and Pokémon.

"All-natural! Zero additives! Infused with soul!"

Mo Zhen naturally wouldn't let this opportunity pass, and her voice was full of inflammatory rhetoric.

"Fellow countrymen of Hezhong! Look! This is the ultimate secret of our Hezhong's pride—the Three Monkeys Restaurant! Look at the 'Water of Life' provided by the Cold Water Monkey, rich in minerals and vitality! Look at the 'Vegetables of Life' picked on the spot by the Flower Coconut Monkey, full of sunshine and rain! Look at the 'Fire of Life' controlled by the Exploding Aroma Monkey, warm and full of energy!"

"From source to finished product, every step has received the most selfless dedication and the most dedicated cooperation from Pokémon! What is cooked is not just food, but also the continuation of life, the crystallization of bonds, and the gift of nature! When you eat it, you can feel the pulse of the Unova land! You can feel the purest beauty between Pokémon and humans!"

The audience was fully engaged, cheering for the Three Monkeys Restaurant.

"Well said! Support local restaurants!"

"This is real cooking!"

"I was so moved! Pokémon is amazing!"

"From now on, I'll only eat at the Three Monkeys restaurant!"

The live stream chat was flooded with comments.

[I'm moved to tears! This is the perfect collaboration between humans and Pokémon!]

[The fire-controlling monkey is so cool! I want to raise one!]

Master Mo Zhen is right! What we eat is the soul!

Go, three monkeys! Defeat the pre-cooked food!

[The atmosphere is amazing! Regardless of the taste, I vote for Three Monkeys!]

While the three monkeys were having a lively time, the Hachiku area was eerily quiet.

Hachiku himself stood with his arms crossed, his expression cold and indifferent, as if the commotion before him had nothing to do with him.

He didn't even look at the prepared ingredients, but nodded at the Double Plus ice cream next to him.

"let us start."

The Double Ice Cream spun around, emitting an extremely chilling aura, not as an attack, but to precisely cover the ingredients that originally needed to be heated!

The frigid airflow instantly froze the food, even causing a layer of even more crystal-clear frost to condense on the surface, shimmering with an eerie light under the lamp.

The food that was about to be put into the heating equipment was instead pushed into a deeper frozen state!
The arena presented an extremely bizarre scene: on one side, flames rose, water vapor swirled, and greenery abounded, full of vitality and enthusiasm; on the other side, cold air permeated the air, ice crystals shimmered, and silence reigned, as if time itself had been frozen.

Ice and fire, raw and cooked, nature and industry form an incredibly stark contrast.

Everyone was stunned, completely unable to comprehend Hatchku's intentions.

"What is he doing? Why is he frozen again?"

"Wasn't it supposed to be a cooking competition? Why is he doing the opposite?"

"Has it become a case of 'what's the use of trying'?"

"I didn't understand it, but I was deeply shocked."

"But to be fair, the cooling effect of Double Ice is indeed amazing..."

Mo Zhen held the microphone, his face showing an extremely exaggerated expression of confusion, his tone full of sarcasm.

"Wow... Ladies and gentlemen, Master Hachiku actually directed Double Ice to put on a spectacular deep-freezing performance? Could it be that Master Hachiku is going to demonstrate to us the complete production line process of 'Fan Bingbing' pre-made dishes from factory to warehouse? This industrial beauty certainly stands in stark contrast to the enthusiasm and natural beauty of the Three Monkeys Restaurant next door!"

Just when everyone thought Mo Zhen would seize the opportunity to continue his mockery, his voice suddenly stopped.

Mo Zhen seemed to realize something, and suddenly gasped, his voice distorted with shock, and he cried out.

"Wait...wait! This...this couldn't be the legendary lost art..."
