Pokémon Scenario: Intercepting Gible at the Start

Seeing the incredulous expressions on his junior brothers' faces, Kongcheng smiled calmly and casually offered an explanation.

"Hehe, grandparents love their grandchildren more."

After saying that, Kongcheng ignored whether they believed him or not and turned his attention back to Shangqiu.

He's already said that, what can he do if others still don't believe him?

You can't just tell the truth, because if you don't teach it, Greninja will smash your phone.

They keep falling down, and Junior Brother Huo Huo is practically broke!

Seeing that Kongcheng wasn't joking, the trainers finally believed that Kongcheng really wanted to teach Shangqiu.

Well... they underestimated Greninja's importance in Empty City's mind.

But even if Kongcheng wanted to teach, how could such a high-level move be learned so easily?

Just then, Shang Qiu finally responded after Jia Hongtao's frantic winking and gesturing.

"Uncle Kongcheng, I think I understand now..."

"Dad Frog didn't use spatial power just now. Gardevoir said he didn't sense any familiar energy fluctuations."

"Dad Frog must have used some kind of explosive force just now?"

Shang Qiu didn't explain it clearly, after all, this was one of Kongcheng's trump cards.

Just now, Shang Qiu keenly sensed that Greninja used electric-type power to swipe across the hilt of the Water Shuriken, probably to electrolyze water and produce hydrogen gas.

Hydrogen gas, when exposed to the high temperatures generated by high-speed flight, naturally produces the thrust required for an explosion. (Source: Dingdian Novel)

If the speed exceeds the frame rate that the human eye can perceive, it is considered "disappeared".

Cynthia and the others didn't hear what Shang Qiu said after that. They looked at Kong Cheng with questioning eyes, wanting to know if what Shang Qiu said was true.

If Shang Qiu is right, that would be terrifying, and could even solidify his status as a genius trainer.

When the time comes, the combination of the terms "genius trainer" and "breeding master" will make Shang Qiu the undisputed number one among the younger generation in the Dragon Kingdom!

Under the watchful eyes of several people, Kongcheng slowly nodded.

"Haha, the younger generation is truly formidable!"

“I should have thought of that sooner. With your uncle around, no one else can teach you these things.”

"But I'm still very happy that you've done so well."

"Let's go have a little get-together and have a good time drinking to our hearts' content!"

Seeing his senior brother so happy, Xiao Huohuo smiled and patted his chest.

"We didn't have enough fun in Xihai City last time, so let's go to Da Cong Pavilion today, it's on me!"

Cynthia hesitated for a moment. "You guys should go. It's not really convenient for me, a young woman, to go alone."

"The night market in Baozhou Prefecture is very good. I'm about to leave, so I'd like to go and try it again."

The others didn't stop her, since Cynthia wasn't very familiar with them.

Looking at Cynthia's retreating figure, Shang Qiu hesitated for a moment.

"Why don't you guys go? It's not really convenient for me, a little kid..."

"Sigh, never mind, I'm not making this up anymore. I'm busy tonight, I'll treat next time!"

A group of older men clicked their tongues, watched the two figures disappear, lit a cigarette, and couldn't help but sigh.

"It's great to be young!"

Chapter 557 No Regrets

The Baozhou Night Market is located on the easternmost edge of Baozhou, in the most bustling area.

The night market is connected to a pedestrian street, with a huge musical fountain in between.

Couples holding hands surrounded the fountain, and every now and then a young man would run up to the stage, grab the microphone, and sing a song for his sweetheart to express his love.

Shang Qiu parked the car Liu Yong had given him in the parking space and stood in front of the fountain with Cynthia. Neither of them released any Pokémon to avoid attracting the attention of passersby.

Cynthia leaned on the railing, resting her chin on her arm, gazing longingly at the stage.

She was a genius trainer from a young age, and even before she got her Pokémon, she showed great theoretical talent.

That's why she has almost never experienced the life of a normal teenager.

After obtaining the elf, she quickly became the most popular player in the league, becoming the center of attention wherever she went.

Eating a candied hawthorn at a roadside stall or buying a handbag from a street vendor was the boldest thing she could imagine.

She couldn't even imagine what these young men and women were doing.

Shang Qiu stood beside Shirona, gazing at her stunning profile, and couldn't help but drift into reverie.

She would probably be even more beautiful if she hadn't been drooling.

Thinking of this, Shang Qiu, as if possessed, reached out his right hand to Cynthia's lips and gently rubbed them.

Cynthia recoiled as if electrocuted. "Ah, what are you doing!"

Shang Qiu felt the lingering warmth on his fingers before smiling and saying:

“I saw you staring at them and drooling, so I wiped it for you.”

"How about I go up and sing you a goodbye kiss?"

Cynthia blushed, she was so shy, she was even drooling.

Although she was embarrassed, she was very stubborn in her words.

"I...I'm not envious, I'm drooling because I'm hungry!"

"Let's go eat."

Cynthia grabbed Shang Qiu's hand, preventing him from continuing to tease her.

"Shang Qiu, could you go and buy me some fried sweet potato skins?"

"I want to drink the lemon tea even if it's like a beating, and I want to buy this one too!"

Shang Qiu nodded seriously, "Okay, I'll go kill that lemon tea for you."

"Ahhh, this pan-fried bun smells so good, the soup is splashing all over my mouth."

"Shang Qiu, take a bite, be careful not to burn your mouth."

Shang Qiu smiled and said, "It's alright, I've practiced my mouth."

...

Cynthia was like an elf, fluttering and dancing around Shang Qiu in a red dress.

Even with her baseball cap pulled low, she still became the most beautiful sight in this night market.

Seeing that Cynthia had almost finished eating, Shang Qiu walked over to her and handed her the lemon tea.

"Is there any other snack you'd like to try? If not, let's go get some barbecue."

Cynthia is about to leave, and Shangqiu hopes that the two Garchomps can meet one last time and explain what happened.

Having been given a second chance at life, he didn't want any of his companions to have any regrets, and he especially didn't want Cynthia to misunderstand the little shark and think he was a blond guy.

An elf's entire life is basically dedicated to its master. If a misunderstanding arises during this separation, who knows when they will meet again.

Even if Shang Qiu could take Garchomp to find his wife, it would only work if Cynthia agreed.

If possible, Shang Qiu wanted to tell Xiluona about their relationship today; it was a responsibility that Little Shark, as a boy, should have.

Seeing that Shirona didn't have anything else she wanted to eat, Shangqiu took her to the largest barbecue stall in the night market.

Although it wasn't too late, there were already a few scattered customers around the stall.

If the two of them just sit down and summon spirits, they'll definitely attract a crowd of onlookers.

Shang Qiu carefully calculated that he should still have about a million yuan in his account.

"Boss, is it possible to book the entire venue?"

The owner was grilling skewers at the entrance when he heard a teenager say he wanted to book the whole place. Without even looking up, he chuckled and said kindly:

“Young man, my daily turnover is easily twenty or thirty thousand, and you’re telling me you want to book the whole place?”

"If you want to confess your love to your girlfriend, just go to a karaoke bar, book a private room, and there's a candle shop right next door selling heart-shaped candles. Isn't that more romantic than coming here, and it's cheaper too?"

Who's confessing their love at this barbecue stand?

Shang Qiu didn't know how to explain the misunderstanding her boss had.

Explaining that he wasn't trying to confess his feelings? What kind of stereotypical straight man would that be?

"Boss, could you please clear out the people here? This is my card. Please swipe 100,000 to cover today's loss. Thank you."

The boss's eyes widened when he saw the black card in Shang Qiu's hand.

He immediately stopped muttering, put down the skewers in his hand, took out a snow-white towel to wipe his hands, and held Shang Qiu's hand.

"This young man has great taste. Don't let my barbecue stall's lack of romance fool you."

But every year, I see at least one or two thousand couples who successfully confess their love to me, so you've come to the right place!

"Come, young lady, please come inside. I'll go and clear out the guests inside."

After saying that, the owner walked over to the other customers with a large bunch of skewers in his hand.

"Big brothers and sisters, handsome men and beautiful women, I'm sorry about today."

"Something came up at home. My mother-in-law is about to give birth, so I have to go back right away. Consider this my treat today."

These skewers are a gift from me, everyone can take them to eat!

After settling the guests in, the owner led Cynthia to the best table in the tree.

The entire tree was decorated with tiny, lit stars and moons by the owner, making it look like a fairy tale world.

The boss took out the snow-white towel he had just used to wipe his hands and vigorously wiped the tables and chairs before giving Cynthia a gentlemanly wave.

"Please have a seat, young lady. I'll bring your boyfriend up after he's ordered."
