Chapter 177: Will giving Sunshine Dojo a good review get Teacher Yu back sooner?
After resolving the minor incident of Pokémon swallowing an evolution stone, Qingyu quickly packed her bags and prepared to set off for Tabletop City with Cynthia.

As for the evolution stone, Qingyu tied it to the back of the baby dragon in reverse.

As is well known, due to their physical structure, almost all Dragon Pokémon have short arms, with very few exceptions.

Even a powerful being like Rayquaza cannot escape this law.

Getting them to touch the thing on their backs is harder than climbing to heaven.

This put Qingyu at ease a little, at least for the time being she didn't have to worry about it being swallowed by the evolution stone when she wasn't paying attention.

Even if it's really eager to improve and wants to unlock its own item slot like Rayquaza right after it's born, it should wait until you evolve into Salamence before considering that...

Qingyu hopped on his beloved Milerton motorcycle and prepared to set off.

Just then, Nemo and Pipa, who had disappeared for some time, suddenly reappeared.

"Teacher Qingyu, I heard you're leaving today?"

Nemo spoke first, her words revealing a hint of reluctance.

"Yeah, good luck on your road to the championship next year."

Qingyu smiled slightly and patted her shoulder.

During the time that Sunshine Gym was closed, I heard that Nemo had already completed the procedures for enrolling in Orange Academy.

If nothing unexpected happens, next year she will probably follow the same storyline as before the main game, taking a year off from school to focus on the path to becoming the champion, and becoming another champion title holder in Padia as a first-year student.

"However, in addition to training and battling, you shouldn't neglect physical training during this time."

Qingyu had no doubt about Nemo's qualifications to become a champion trainer.

However, she herself was unsure whether she could actually complete all the challenge gyms in Padia within a year.

After all, the location of the Eight Dojos is quite eerie, with two towns on snow-capped mountains and one that can only be reached by crossing deserts and caves.

I don't feel anything when playing games, but if I go there myself, I'll definitely behave...

Based on her understanding of Nemo's physical abilities, Qingyu felt that her path to the championship might be quite difficult.

If all else fails, taming a Motor Lizard or a Corviknight to get around might be an option.

Nemo nodded, then looked at Qingyu with a complicated expression.

After a fierce internal struggle, she finally asked the question that had been troubling her for so long—

"Teacher Qingyu, you'll come back, right?"

Although most of the comments in the live stream were jokes, Nemo was genuinely panicked.

If Aoba-sensei really gets taken back to Sinnoh to become some kind of "Sinnoh son-in-law," how boring will Padia be...?

Without him and the Sunny Gym, Nemo guesses she would still be that clueless newbie who knows nothing about battles.

They have no idea about tactics, nor do they know how to develop their own tactical style based on the characteristics of Pokémon.

Without Aoba-sensei's Padia, even the challenge for the championship wouldn't feel as enjoyable...

Although Zhu Lan is considered one of my idols, the whole "kidnapping" thing—

Absolutely not!

Noticing Nemona's almost tearful expression, Zhu Lan quickly smiled.

It seems that Qingyu is really popular in Padiya.

It's probably not just Nemo, the gym apprentice, but also the students from Orange Academy who are reluctant to part with him.

But, did they misunderstand something?
"What are you thinking? I just haven't been back in a long time, I'm just going back for a quick look."

Qingyu was both amused and exasperated.

No way, you really think I'm a son-in-law of Shin'ou?

"I still have to be the Gym Leader of eight gyms on the Road to Champion next year. If I don't come back, President Ci will probably chase me all the way to Sinnoh."

"It seems to be the same..."

After Qingyu said that, Nemo quickly realized what was going on.

In short, knowing that Ms. Qingyu will stay in Padiya at least next year is enough for her.

"Next year I'll show Teacher Qingyu how much I've improved!" Nemo quickly regained her energy.

"Okay, but if you lose, you're not allowed to pester me for another challenge."

Qingyu smiled slightly and looked at Papa on the other side.

"Brother Qingyu, this is a farewell gift."

Upon noticing the gaze, he stepped forward, having previously given Nemo space, and handed over a plant that looked somewhat familiar.

It's about 70-80% similar to the sweetener they previously obtained from hairy crabs, except the color is green.

"This is……"

After Qingyu reached out and took it, she already had a guess in her mind.

“A few days ago, Nemo and I went to western Padia and, based on the clues we gathered, defeated another Treasure Bird, the Stonebird, and found some bitter herbs in its nest.”

Piper quickly provided an explanation, proving his point.

It really is a secret seasoning.

"The injuries on Mastiff Godfather and Millerton are the same. Eating a dish made with this secret seasoning should improve their physical functions."

After Pipa finished speaking, he quickly smiled.

"Brother Qingyu, let's search for more treasure owners together next year!"

Qingyu nodded and reached out to take the bitter seasoning.

At the same time, several lines of small text flashed before my eyes again.

The main quest "Path of Legends" has been updated.

[Current Task: Collect the secret seasoning to awaken Milton's full potential. (Current Progress 2/5)]

[Reward: 1 random gold item, being distributed...]

[The "Mind Drawing Paper" reward has been distributed!]

So, it turns out that you don't need to defeat the treasure master yourself; just getting the seasoning counts as completing the mission?
Qingyu was stunned for a moment, but quickly realized what was happening.

The items the system gave us this time seem to be for Eevee.

However, because he was in a hurry, he didn't rush to check the items that had been opened.

Let's talk about it when we get back to Sinnoh.

……

Upon arriving at the airport on the outskirts of Zhudao City, before boarding the plane with Zhulan, Qingyu saw many somewhat familiar figures in the vicinity.

If I remember correctly, they were all students from Orange Academy.

"Teacher Yu, you must come back!"

"Thank you so much for your guidance, Coach Yu! We'll do our best on our path to the championship next year!"

"If I give Sunshine Dojo good reviews now, will it get Teacher Yu back sooner?"

Led by Okamoto, a group of children dressed as students were waving enthusiastically at him, seemingly saying goodbye.

"I didn't expect you to have such a high standing among the students of Padiya."

Zhu Lan, who was standing nearby, also noticed the lovely students and couldn't help but smile.

"They all seem to be afraid that you'll go to Sinnoh and never come back."

"Tsk, I do have some professional ethics as the owner, but why don't I usually feel that they like me this much..."

Anyway, the dojo's negative review rate has dropped so low that he can't even afford to consider saving it.

After making a comment, Qingyu turned and waved to the students of Orange Academy.

"It seems we need to give them a good lesson before they get to the championship next year."

4th update, I'll have a meal and then continue...

Writing 10,000 words a day is so tiring, especially when I'm stuck on writer's block qw
