Chapter 263 Superpower Battle, Mao's Resurrection Match! (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
Upon seeing this, Mao's family and friends in the audience were instantly terrified, their faces turning pale, and they cried out in unison like a startled swarm of butterflies.

The sea lion that Shui Lian was holding shrank back into its ball in fright, and Shui Lian herself stomped her feet in distress, crying out.

"How could this be?! It's just cooking! How can he be sentenced to death? This...this is outrageous! Doesn't the Unova region have any laws?!"

"Yeah, Alola! This just doesn't make sense!"

Acerola, who was standing to the side, also jumped up in a panic, her precocious little face filled with anxiety.

"Mao just wanted to share Alola's passion with everyone! Is that wrong?!"

Lillie appeared relatively calmer, but her pale face and slightly trembling fingers betrayed the turmoil within her.

She suddenly stood up, took out her Orange Phone, and tried her best to remain calm despite her trembling voice.

"Wait a minute, I... I need to hire a lawyer! I need to advocate for Mao! This is vigilante justice, it's completely against the rule of law! Miss Cattleya, please calm down! This is a case of your superpowers going out of control, what you need is Miss Joey, not a verdict!"

However, Cattleya, who had completely gone berserk, wouldn't listen to any advice.

Her smooth blonde hair moved without wind, and the terrifying purple psychic energy emanating from her body distorted the air!

"The sin of defiling the sense of taste... is unforgivable! With a powerful mental will—crush her!"

With a shriek, Gadriya raised her slender hand and shoved it forward!
A massive, solidified torrent of purple superpowers, like a destructive tsunami bursting its banks, surged toward Mao, who stood frozen in terror with tears in his eyes!

"Mao—!!!"

Water Lily, Acerola, and Lillie screamed in despair, but they were powerless to withstand the furious blow from this king-level attack. They could only watch helplessly as the torrent of death engulfed their friends.

Faced with destructive energy that was utterly irresistible, Mao's green eyes filled with tears.

But she forced herself not to cry out. Instead, she forced a smile that looked worse than crying and, in a trembling but clear voice, called out her last words to her friends.

"Everyone... don't be sad! I'm already so happy that you could all taste my cooking! Friends, see you in the next life, Alola—!!!"

At this critical moment, a queenly voice filled with authority rang out.

"Hmph! You think you can just execute my writer's contestant without his permission? Gadriya, you're really underestimating me, Naz!"

On the judges' panel, Naz gave a cold snort, a sharp glint flashing in her icy blue eyes.

She accurately received the anxious look Mo Zhen had given her and immediately stood up gracefully and swiftly.

Her dark green hair danced wildly as if it had a life of its own, and her body burst forth with a bright blue superpower that was in no way inferior to that of Cattleya!
"Hu Di!"

Sabrina's cool voice carried an undeniable authority. Alakazam beside her instantly understood, its eyes blazing with blue light, and it crossed its hands over its chest with spoons, unleashing a massive psychic power like a nuclear explosion!

[Powerful Mental Focus - Absolute Barrier]!
A superpower wall, seemingly constructed of sapphire, appeared out of thin air and precisely positioned between Gadriya's purple torrent of destruction and Mao!
boom--! ! !
The two superpowers, each at the Heavenly King level, collided violently like two meteorites!
In an instant, the entire venue erupted in a deafening roar!

The purple and blue energy turbulence splashed wildly, as dazzling as the aurora borealis but full of danger. The shock wave spread violently in a ring, blowing the audience below the stage to the side and making them scream in surprise!

The solid venue floor cracked inch by inch from the point of impact, spreading out like a spider web!
The judges' table shook violently, the cutlery clattered and even broke!

The audience erupted in a frenzy, with shouts, gasps, and screams filling the air!
"Holy crap! A civil war among superhumans! They've started fighting! They've really started fighting!"

"Miss Sabrina is so cool! Her superpowers are terrifying!"

"He took action just because of a single glance from Master Mo Zhen? That's definitely true love!"

"Miss Cattleya seems to have completely lost control! This superpower is terrifying!"

"Is this a battle of culinary gods or a battle of superpowers?! Never mind, just seeing such a battle is worth the price of admission!"

Just as Cattleya became increasingly frenzied due to her attacks being blocked, and the fluctuations of her superpowers became more unstable, at a critical moment when she was about to unleash even more terrifying power!
"Now! The Trinity Harmony of Nature Package—presented!"

With a calm and confident shout, the three brothers of the Three Monkeys Restaurant—Tintosh, Bert, and Kohn—made their grand entrance amidst the chaos, just like heroes who had agreed to meet!

The three of them walked with firm steps, their eyes showing no fear, each holding a carefully prepared dish steadily in their hands!

In Koun's hand was a crystal-clear, faintly glowing "Three Stars Heart-Clearing Soup" brewed from the "Water of Life" provided by the Cold Water Monkey.

In Bert's hand is a "Rejuvenating Vegetable and Fruit Skewers" grilled with the "Flaming of Life" from the Exploding Fragrant Monkey and garnished with the "Vegetables of Life" from the Flower Coconut Monkey.

In Tian Tong's hands is a colorful and vibrant "Natural Harmony Salad," made by three different types of monkeys working together.

The three dishes seemed to contain a mysterious power, and the soft, natural glow and refreshing aroma they emitted briefly dispelled the oppressive feeling brought about by the surrounding violent superpowers!
Without fear, they stood in front of the out-of-control Cattleya, raising their plates high in unison with loud, confident voices.

"Miss Catharia! Please enjoy this natural harmony set meal, which brings together the water, fire, and vegetables of life! It will surely calm your inner turmoil and soothe your offended taste buds and soul!"

Calderia, who was in a frenzy, suddenly stopped. Her purple eyes were fixed on the three dishes that shone with an enticing luster and a natural aroma, as if a wild beast had been drawn to food.

A dangerous sound came from her throat, like a cold wind blowing in the dead of winter.

"Hmph, if these things don't satisfy me, you'll all be sentenced to death!"

Her voice was icy and chilling, filled with an undeniable threat, and the pressure of her superpowers intensified once more, locking firmly onto the three brothers.

In the audience, the still-shaken Alola members—Lian, Acerola, and Lillie, who was tightly holding Mallow—all turned their gazes toward the three chefs who had stepped forward.

Their eyes were filled with gratitude for surviving a disaster, a fervent gaze almost like looking up to a savior.

Water Lily even unconsciously clasped her hands together as if in prayer, while Lillie gently patted the still slightly trembling Mao's back and nervously watched Cattleya's reaction with anxious eyes.

Those three dishes were not only related to the competition score, but also to the life and death of their friends.

Under the watchful gaze of Butler Shilan, a pale blue superpower gently lifted a small bowl of [Sanyao Qingxin Soup] and slowly brought it to Cattleya's lips.

The soup was crystal clear, with a faint shimmering light, as if it contained the light of stars and the moon.

Still carrying a trace of lingering anger from her violent outburst, Gadriya barely managed to slightly open her delicate, rose-petal-like red lips and take a small sip.

The moment the soup touched her lips, the expression on Cattleya's face, a mixture of anger, loss of control, and arrogance, froze!
The entire venue fell silent instantly; everyone held their breath in tension, their eyes fixed intently on Cattleya's face.

The next moment, a miracle happened!
The stiff expression on Cattleya's face softened rapidly, like snow under the warm spring sun!
A look of utter bliss and relaxation completely replaced his previous agitation and anger.

She took a deep breath, as if she weren't in a bustling arena, but rather strolling deep within the Moonlit Forest of Oaths, with the babbling of streams and the soft chirping of Pokémon in her ears, and the fresh scent of earth and fruit filling her nostrils. The terrifying psychic energy emanating from her receded like a tide, the frightening purple light in her eyes vanished, and they returned to their languid, dreamy violet hue, now imbued with a clarity and peace purified by nature.

"Hmm..."

Cattleya gave a soft hum, a hum that no longer carried the killing intent of before, but instead carried a hint of lazy apology and relief.

She slightly raised her eyes, her gaze sweeping across the entire room. Although her voice still carried an innate nobility and aloofness, it had softened considerably.

"Just now... I lost my composure and caused trouble for everyone. I'm very sorry."

Her gaze swept over the Alola girls who were terrified, finally settling on Mao, her brows furrowing slightly, revealing undisguised disdain.

"However, while the death penalty may be spared, punishment is inevitable! That devilish dish that attempted to ruin the judges' sense of taste still tastes so bad it makes you want to die! 0 points!"

Then, she turned sharply to the three monkey brothers, and for the first time, her beautiful face showed a genuine appreciation and even amazement for the food.

"But these three dishes of yours... are completely different! This soup... these skewers... this salad... they seem to have a life of their own! I feel the cool spring water washing over my nerves, the warm firelight drying my anxiety, and the fresh grass and trees soothing my turmoil!"

Cattleya was lavish in her praise, giving it an unprecedentedly high score.

"My soul felt as if it had been purified by this pure natural power, becoming more peaceful than ever before. 95 points! This is the praise they deserve!"

Seeing that Cattleya not only calmed down but also gave her extremely high praise, thunderous applause immediately erupted from the audience!

On the other side, looking at the three seemingly ordinary dishes, Naz, who had been indifferent, suddenly received a subtle hint from Mo Zhen.

Like an actress receiving instructions from the director, Naz nodded slightly without making a sound.

With her superpowers, she gracefully lifted a serving of "Natural Harmony Salad" and placed it on her lips, which were as red as if they had been smeared with rouge.

After savoring the taste, Naz wiped her mouth gently with a napkin, her voice clear and cool with a hint of approval.

"Yes. This dish truly embodies the spirit of harmonious coexistence between humans and nature, and with Pokémon. The energy is peaceful yet abundant, and the flavor is pure yet layered, deserving a score of 90."

Having received high praise from two super-powered beauties in succession, Shaka couldn't contain himself any longer.

"Haha! Let this old man also try this magical dish that can quell the wrath of the Superpower King!"

Master Xia Ka's voice boomed like thunder. With a bold gesture, he swept the remaining "Rejuvenating Vegetable and Fruit Skewers" and half a salad into his huge mouth, chewing them with a crunching sound.

He crossed his thick arms over his chest, his beard jiggled with each chew, and a look of satisfaction appeared in his eyes.

"Hmm! Not bad! Although the flavor isn't as intense and domineering as the previous Super Pot and Devil Dumplings, the natural harmony it evokes, like being in a forest on the outskirts of Sanyo City, is truly refreshing and soothing! 80 points!"

As the director behind the entire show, Mo Zhen naturally had no choice but to support the lead actor.

He straightened his collar, his face showing the ecstasy and ecstasy of an artist discovering a perfect masterpiece. He strode to the kitchen counter and, almost as if he were witnessing a miracle, savored each dish carefully.

Then, he turned sharply, facing all the audience and cameras, opened his arms, and spoke with a voice full of infectious energy and unquestionable authority, as if announcing the arrival of a new era.

"Ladies and gentlemen! Look! This is the ultimate essence of cooking! This is no longer just simple food! It is the crystallization of the resonance between the souls of humanity, nature, and spirits! It is a supreme artistic masterpiece of harmonious coexistence and natural unity! This innate art transcends technique and reaches the very source! I would give it an unquestionable 90 points!"

"Oh oh oh oh oh—!!!"

After a brief silence, the audience erupted in cheers and thunderous applause like a tsunami!

People stood up excitedly, waving their arms wildly, their faces flushed with excitement and approval!

"Highest score! Well deserved!"

"This is amazing! Not only is it delicious, but it can also calm rampaging superpowers! This is a miracle!"

"Heroes! They saved that little girl from Alora!"

"Three Monkeys Restaurant! From now on, I'm a die-hard fan of yours!"

"This is the pride of our nation! Long live traditional craftsmanship!"

The discussion was as heated as boiling water, with everyone praising the three monkey brothers' heroic act and superb culinary skills, and filled with endless curiosity and longing for their magical natural meal.

However, amidst this almost unanimous wave of praise, a discordant note hummed in a corner, expressing its resentment.

Dou Ye, whose appeal to have his livestream room unbanned had just failed, hid behind the crowd with his cheek red from Dou Zi's slap, and said in a sour and sarcastic tone.

"Tch... It's a complete rip-off! Absolutely a blatant rip-off! Those three monkey chefs were clearly promoted by Mo Zhen; the entire competition was a staged show he orchestrated! What do you mean by 'natural harmony'? I think it's 'harmony of capital'! The champion of this competition was predetermined from the very beginning!"

But his voice was quickly drowned out by the huge cheers for the hero and the food, like a pebble thrown into the sea that failed to create even the slightest ripple.

Just when the audience thought that Three Monkeys Restaurant had quelled the king's anger with the "Natural Harmony Set Meal" and had already secured the championship.

At the edge of the venue, a chilling aura silently spread out.

Hachiku maintained his cool, martial arts star demeanor, arms crossed, unmoving.

Beside him, the spinning Double Dot Ice slowly came to a stop, its face, made of ice crystals, seemed to carry a hint of indifference that looked down on all living beings.

The staff pushed a food cart covered with a clean white tablecloth forward with great care, as if it were carrying polar ice cores.

On the food cart was only a medium-sized crackled glaze porcelain bowl, with a visible pale blue mist rising from its rim, like dry ice, causing the surrounding air to distort slightly.

"Ok?"

On the judges' panel, Cattleya, who had just been calmed down by the Sanyou Qingxin Soup, slightly raised her eyelids, her lazy gaze sweeping over the dish that exuded an unusual chill.

She shifted into a more comfortable, limp position, using her superpowers to manipulate the silver spoon, casually scooping up a spoonful of the dish that resembled a mixture of shaved ice and some kind of glistening jelly, and lazily bringing it to her lips.

"Hmph... a pretentious display of frozen goods..."

However, the moment the spoon tip touched her red lips, Cattleya's eyes widened suddenly, and she let out a piercing scream!

"Holy crap!!!!!"
