Pokémon Scenario: Intercepting Gible at the Start

Seeing that the little shark had calmed down, the big wolfhound and the tribesmen who had been digging holes to escape poked their heads out and looked at Shang Qiu warily.

This guy is the owner of the little shark. The little shark almost wiped them out the first time because of this guy!

Shang Qiu beckoned to the large wolfhound, signaling them to come over.

Then, he took out a large amount of MooMoo Milk, Energy Cubes, Moutai liquor, Wuliangye liquor, pre-made kebabs, and other food from Gengar's storage space, and finally pulled out a huge hot pot.

"Hey big wolfhounds, come on over and have something to eat!"

"I'm really sorry this time. I didn't explain things clearly to Shark, which is why he did this."

"My real target is my classmates who are participating in the competition. I'm just here to see how everyone is doing lately."

The leader of the large wolfhounds remained unmoved, his heart even turning cold.

"Hmph, you beat us up like this without explaining things clearly, so you'll just throw us all away once you do explain?"

They even asked us how we were doing?

We were doing so well before this little shark came!

Seeing that they didn't come out, Shang Qiu wasn't annoyed. He set up the grill and hot pot and began preparing the food.

Looking back, it was all my fault. I accidentally pushed Little Shark too far and it overheated the CPU.

As the pre-cooked dishes and marinated roasted meats were heated, the rich aroma wafted for hundreds of meters.

The surrounding hyenas and large wolfhounds were all very tempted. Since they followed Ji Da and were incorporated into the Dragon Rider Brigade, they had eaten quite a few good things.

But they've never even smelled something this fragrant before!

Seeing the reaction of the large wolfhounds, Shang Qiu's lips curled up slightly.

These pre-made dishes were all prepared in advance by Baby Dragon. Under the training of Garchomp and Gengar, Baby Dragon's culinary skills are absolutely superior to those of the chefs at the Farfetch'd restaurant.

These big wolfhounds will definitely not be able to resist this temptation!

Sure enough, the large wolfhounds gradually couldn't resist the temptation, and one by one they wagged their tails and crawled out of the ground.

The leader of the large wolfhounds licked the drool that was about to fall from his lips and made a gesture of fearlessness towards his tribesmen behind him.

"Wang!"

Brothers, I'll go check if there's any danger first. If there's no danger, I'll wag my tail three times clockwise; if there is danger, I'll wag my tail three times counterclockwise!

Seeing the chieftain's self-sacrificing act, all the surrounding wolfhounds stared resolutely at their leader.

"May the clan leader rest in peace!"

The leader of the large wolfhounds couldn't wait a moment longer and rushed towards the bag of sweet and sour pork that Shang Qiu had already heated up.

"Wang!"

Ouch—it's so hot and smells so sweet!

After finishing the sweet and sour pork, the big wolfhound leader rushed to the next dish—braised pork belly.

After eating a few pieces of meat, the eyes of the big wolfhound leader became a little moist.

He once tasted this flavor while he was homeless in the city, and he found it in a garbage can.

To his utter surprise, more than ten years later, he tasted that flavor again.

Moreover, this tastes even better than what I had more than ten years ago, and the texture is smoother.

It's just that it lacks the smell of gutter oil, which is a bit of a drawback.

But none of that matters. What matters is that I can have a feast today!

He's tired of eating all those fruits from the trees.

Whose dog eats apples every day?

The large wolfhound devoured the food, one bite at a time. If these dishes hadn't been semi-finished products prepared by Baby Dragon, Shang Qiu really wouldn't have been able to feed it all.

However, Shang Qiu didn't find it troublesome at all. He patiently prepared food for the big wolfhound and even took the time to prepare food for the other big wolfhounds.

Every time Shang Qiu returns to the Hutuo River Secret Realm, he feels a sense of warmth, and therefore treats the spirits here with extra gentleness.

After all, it was in this secret realm that he first leveled up with the two little ones, encountered Gardevoir, and even had his first encounter with a god.

This secret place holds too many memories for him.

...

The variety of dishes available near Shangqiu is increasing, and the aromas are becoming more and more intense.

The hot pot and kebabs were already cooked, and the sight of the sizzling, oily food made the large wolfhounds and hyenas around them very tempted.

Some of the coyotes huddled together, whispering amongst themselves.

"Do you think the chieftain is having so much fun that he's forgotten about us?"

"That's very possible. Even if it's an experiment to see if it's dangerous, you don't need to eat this much!"

"I heard that Liu Bang didn't eat this much at the Feast at Hongmen, and Jing Ke only ate one grape when he attempted to assassinate the King of Qin!"

The kids had barely said a few words when their parents slapped them.

"What are you whispering about? The clan leader is still experimenting; he probably doesn't know yet whether it's dangerous or not."

"Didn't you see the clan leader's tail sometimes spinning clockwise and sometimes counterclockwise?"

"As expected of our powerful clan leader! If I were in his place, my tailbone would be cramping up by now!"

The big wolfhound was enjoying its meal and was about to pick up its chopsticks to try a bite of the hot pot when it suddenly heard its tribesmen scolding their children, which made it all go wrong.

Oh my god, these dishes smell so good, I forgot to tell them what to do!

Seeing the wolfhound's embarrassed look, Shang Qiu casually threw a large bag of tripe into the hot pot, thus saving the wolfhound from its predicament.

"Big wolfhound, hurry up and call your tribesmen over! This thing can only be cooked for fifteen seconds, otherwise it won't taste good!"

The large wolfhound paused for a moment, then nodded vigorously.

"Wang!"

Brothers, let's eat!

Upon hearing the chieftain's words, the large wolfhounds and hyenas emerged from underground and gathered around the food.

In an instant, the calls of Bulbasaur filled the entire Mightyena camp.

These things are so delicious, even better than energy cubes!

After eating this meal, it wouldn't be a loss even if I went with Shang Qiu to cause a ruckus in the Dragon Rider Brigade!

Looking at the pack of large wolfhounds gathered together with his elves, Shang Qiu nodded in satisfaction.

This isn't exploring a secret realm, it's clearly going home!

Chapter 498 Senior Student Arrives, Shang Qiu's Response

The other Great Hounds gathered around the food, and the Great Hound leader, being the clan leader, felt embarrassed to squeeze in with them, so he squatted down next to Shang Qiu, Garchomp, and Gengar.

The Gardevoir sisters sat on either side of Shang Qiu, leisurely eating their skewers.

Upon encountering the little shark again, the leader of the large wolfhounds showed no sign of anger, and toasted the little shark with every cup of wine.

"Brother Shark, we're all on the same side. Please don't let this kind of misunderstanding happen again. We're all family."

"In the entire Hutuo River Secret Realm, who doesn't know that our Big Wolfhound is working under Brother Qiu?"

As the big wolfhound spoke, he picked up his wine glass and clinked it against the bottom of Shang Qiu's glass.

"Brother Qiu, come back and visit more often in the future. This time you came in a hurry, so next time you should let me know in advance and I'll find some wandering night spirits to dance for you!"

Throughout the process, the usually unsociable Big Wolfhound became very sociable, constantly toasting and drinking with Shang Qiu and the other two, and always taking special care of the Sharp-Toothed Shark who had almost knocked him out earlier.

I'm not afraid of powerful people, I'm afraid of simple-minded fathers who would kill even acquaintances!

Shang Qiu was equally decisive, drinking every toast offered by the big wolfhound in one gulp.

"Chief Great Wolfhound, we really owe you a lot for being lenient with us back then, otherwise I wouldn't have gotten such a good ranking in that military training."

"Think about it, out of so many classmates, how did you end up helping me by some unexpected twist of fate?"

"That's because we're destined to meet!"

With the mutual flattery between the big wolfhound and Shangqiu, the relationship between the man and the dog is getting better and better.

If it weren't for the fact that he had a family to take care of, the leader of the big wolfhounds would have even considered going home with Shang Qiu!

After a few rounds of drinks, Shang Qiu noticed that the number of characters displayed on the Top 100 badge had changed from 100 to 63.

In just over an hour, half of the students have already been eliminated!

Fortunately, Shang Qiu's wolfhound camp was located in the very center of the competition area; otherwise, Shang Qiu would have had to drink while moving a table to find a safe zone...

As the group was enjoying their drinks, a distinctive "frog grass" sound suddenly rang out from the perimeter of the camp.

Compared to the "frog grass" barked by the large wolfhounds that exclaimed how delicious the food was, this "frog grass" sounded particularly shrill and loud, clearly the result of years of practice.

Upon hearing this voice, Gardevoir narrowed its eyes and unleashed a vast, ocean-like spiritual energy towards the source of the sound.

"Shanai~"

Master, Jia Qiong and Bulbasaur are riding over on that giant mosquito.

However, they seemed to have been shot down by the large wolfhounds and collapsed at the camp entrance.

Shang Qiu: "..."

Who gave Jia Qiong this courage, Fish Leong or Jia Hongtao?

This camp is the boss spawn point for this school team competition, and Jia Qiong, an elite-level trainer, actually dared to break in!

Shang Qiu shook his head and touched the cup in his hand to the cup of the dizzy wolfhound.

"Big Wolfhound, that's my good brother at the door, let him in."

After saying that, Shang Qiu drank it all in one gulp.

Seeing Shang Qiu drink it all in one gulp, the leader of the large wolfhounds also downed the liquid in his cup in one go, and pointed to his deputy in a daze.

"Men, release...release them!"
