Pokémon: I just became a Gym Leader, and Cynthia proposed to me.

Chapter 86 Commission

Li Shuwen waved to the electric monster, "Electric monster, we're leaving now. We'll come back to see you next time."

"Compare!"

The electric monster, carrying a rock, passed by Li Shuwen and his companions, responding with a single word as a greeting.

Seeing how seriously Electabuzz was training, Li Shuwen knew he hadn't misjudged the Pokémon; this Electabuzz was worth catching!

On the way back to camp, Li Shuwen smiled and said, "Actually, I also really want to have my own orchard. After I subdue the Electabuzz, we can run the orchard together."

Cynthia smiled brightly, "Great! Then I'll be able to eat the fruit you grew yourself."

Li Shuwen nodded, "Okay, I'll invite you to Cuiyun Mountain again sometime, and you can pick them yourself."

Cynthia's eyes lit up. "Great!"

No one can resist the joy of picking fruit by hand.

Li Meining's food gathering results were not ideal, except that Shinji knew what was edible and what was not.

Li Meining and Jia Deliya had absolutely no experience in wilderness survival.

Even though Shinji is usually very calm, he couldn't help but twitch his lips when he looked at the red umbrellas, white stems, and colorful mushrooms that Cattleya had picked.

Shinji kindly reminded her, "These mushrooms are not edible."

Cattleya blinked. "These mushrooms are so pretty, how can they not be eaten?"

Shinji said calmly, "The prettier the mushroom, the more poisonous it is. It could be used to breed Poison-type Pokémon for Brother Shuwen's Croagunk to eat."

"It's not a waste of your time."

Li Meining lifted the mushrooms from her basket and said smugly, "I know brightly colored mushrooms aren't edible, but I can eat these, right?"

Shinji picked up a mushroom and threw it on the ground. "It's inedible too, and it's even more poisonous than the ones Aoi picked."

"Someone like you, who's only half-baked, is more likely to be poisoned than an ordinary person who knows nothing at all."

Shinji glanced at Riolu and the bear and asked, "Didn't either of you stop her or tell her that these mushrooms aren't edible?"

Leo helplessly spread his hands. Of course he tried to stop her, but Li Meining was very confident and wouldn't listen to him.

Having a trainer like this is exhausting!

Shinji raised an eyebrow. "Next time, listen to Riolu and have you both take the same wilderness survival test. Riolu will definitely score higher than you."

Back at the camp, Shinji told Li Shuwen his suggestion.

Li Shuwen clapped his hands excitedly, "That's right! How come I didn't think of that! Teaching Leorio is better than teaching Xiao Ning!"

It must be admitted that Riolu's learning ability is stronger than Li Meining's.

Li Shuwen patted Shinji on the shoulder, "You've helped me solve a problem."

Although everyone didn't pick many wild vegetables, it was enough for a wild vegetable feast.

As for Li Shuwen and Li Meining's large appetites, Li Shuwen had already considered the possibility of food shortages.

I've prepared noodles!

The two siblings ate five pounds of noodles, mixed with wild vegetable pancakes, fruit pies, and other foods, barely managing to eat about 70% full.

As they packed their things to leave, Cattleya reluctantly raised her hand. "It's 12:30 now. Let's go fishing for a while longer, and then head down the mountain at 2:00, okay?"

"How can we slink down the mountain like this without even catching a golden carp!"

Cynthia smiled. "Shuwen, bring out the one I caught."

Li Shuwen took out a Poké Ball and released a lively Magikarp, its golden scales shimmering in the sunlight.

Compared to the dull, lifeless eyes of a regular Magikarp, the golden Magikarp has lively and bright eyes.

Cattleya pointed at the Golden Magikarp and asked incredulously, "Cabbage, you caught the Golden Magikarp?"

Cynthia smiled slightly. "That's right, I caught it."

Cattleya gritted her teeth in anger, "How come you always seem to have all the good things happen to you!"

A handsome boyfriend and an adorable Eevee.

Even the Golden Magikarp was caught by Cynthia.

Cattleya was incredibly envious and jealous!

Cynthia shrugged. "I was just fishing casually, and who knew I'd not only catch a Gyarados, but also a Golden Magikarp."

Cattleya pulled out her fishing rod. "You've already caught a golden carp, so you don't need to fish anymore. The rod is mine!"

"With five fishing rods, I refuse to believe I can't catch an interesting Pokémon!"

The golden carp stared at the river not far away, hopping and leaping as it tried to escape into the water.

Li Meining grabbed his tail, grinned, and said, "Trying to run away!"

The golden Magikarp struggled frantically, but its strength was negligible in the face of Li Meining's monstrous power.

The golden magikarp's eyes instantly filled with despair.

Li Shuwen smiled and said, "This golden carp is very intelligent; it's worth training."

Li Meining's eyes lit up. "Brother, how about we dig a pond in the backyard to raise the carp king?"

Li Shuwen joked, "There's still a lot of empty land in the backyard, why don't you just dig a swimming pool?"

Li Meining nodded, "Sure, we can swim at home in the summer!"

Li Shuwen shook his head. "If you want to dig, then let's go dig. Consider it exercise."

In the end, Cattleya gained nothing.

He vowed to go home and practice his fishing skills diligently, hoping to catch a big fish next time.

After descending the mountain, Li Shuwen first took Cynthia and Gadria back to their hotel.

Cynthia waved her hand, "Shuwen, let's go home now. This spring outing was a lot of fun."

Cattleya smiled. "Goodbye, brother-in-law~"

Cynthia pinched Gadriya. "Shuwen, goodbye."

Goodbye, cabbage.

Li Shuwen then looked at Jiadeliya, "Qingcai, come play with your sister again next time. I'll rent a boat and we'll go fishing at sea."

Gadria's eyes lit up, and she took Cynthia's hand. "Great! I'll definitely bring my sister with me then!"

After taking Shinji home, I asked, "Shinji, when are you planning to travel to the Kanto region?"

Shinji said, "I plan to stay home and study your notes for a week before heading to the Kanto region."

Li Shuwen nodded, "I'll let Xiao Ning travel with you then. You can help me take care of Xiao Ning. With her travel experience in the Kanto region, I can feel more at ease letting Xiao Ning travel alone."

Shinji nodded at Li Meining, "It's really hard for you to feel at ease letting her travel alone."

Li Meining brandished her arms and legs, "What are you talking about! What are you talking about! Why can't I travel by myself!"

Li Shuwen rubbed Li Meining's head and said, "Shinji, I'm entrusting Xiaoning to you."

Back at the Veiled Gym, Li Shuwen checked the gym's voicemail and found a call from the Pokémon Center.

Li Shuwen called back, "Miss Joey, this is Li Shuwen. What can I do for you?"

Miss Nurse Joy said, "That's right, Sweetwater Village, which belongs to Veilwall City, was attacked by wild Pokémon at night, which seriously disrupted the lives and production of Sweetwater Village."

"The villagers of Sweetwater Village watched the festival competition at Curtain Department Store and want to invite you, the prospective headmaster, to participate. However, the fee is relatively low, only 100,000 yuan."

Participating in this celebration competition was definitely the right decision; look, our reputation has been built up.

Li Shuwen immediately replied, "It's no problem if the money is a little less; protecting the peace of our hometown is the duty of the dojo master."

"I'm going to Sweetwater Village right now, and I'll try to resolve this matter tonight!"

Li Meining immediately raised her hand, "I want to go too!"
