Chapter 315 Shield Mushroom, the most reliable support in doubles! (1118 chapters owed for monthly votes)

Nothing happened for the next two days.

A-Du and Xiao-Chun's journey in Padia continues, as they wander around Lake Daguo, hoping to see more "interesting" dragon Pokémon.

As for Qingyu, he did not travel with them again due to the gym leader's work.

Friday night arrived quickly.

After a week of work at the gym, not only Qingyu breathed a sigh of relief, but Mewtwo, its clones, and the Pokémon on long-term loan to the gym were all exhausted.

With the formation of Team Celestial, the number of students coming to the gym has grown larger and larger. In addition, Sunny Gym is the gym closest to Tabletop City, so it naturally takes on the challenge of most students.

Qingyu was also very fortunate that he had the foresight to subdivide the gym challenge modes, which allowed Mewtwo and the rentable Pokémon that could battle independently to help share most of the work; otherwise, he might have been exhausted...

The students enjoyed the challenge, Mewtwo steadily improved its trainer skills in the process, and the rented Pokémon gradually learned various tactics in battles, greatly improving their strength.

In short, both sides felt like they had won by a landslide.

Of course, since the Pokémon all put in a lot of effort, he couldn't slack off on his side either.

So, on a leisurely evening before the weekend, Qingyu thoughtfully prepared a "sumptuous" feast for them.

"Gah!"

Just as it was lunchtime, Millerton outside seemed to sense something, suddenly stood up, glanced at the soon-to-disappearing sunset, and then went into the dojo without looking back.

"Useless at everything, but a master at cooking"—this phrase perfectly describes Millardon.

However, when Milton arrived at the kitchen, he immediately stopped.

Something's not right, there's something very wrong...

Why does this kitchen have such a murderous aura?

Millerton frowned subconsciously before tentatively poking his head inside.

In the kitchen, only Qingyu was leisurely humming a song, frying ingredients while glancing at the stove next to him out of the corner of his eye.

What was clearly a normal action made Millerton instantly lose his mind and feel as if he had fallen into an ice cave.

Damn it, who made him happy again?
After spending this time together, who in the entire Sunshine Dojo doesn't know about Qingyu's culinary talent?

Aside from foods like sandwiches and miso soup that require no processing, any ingredient that comes into contact with Qingyu, no matter how delicious, will end up looking strange.

It's not that you can't eat it, but the taste is a bit...

Okay, then you can't eat it!
Even Milton, who is a glutton and willing to be a means of transportation just to get a meal, finds it hard to accept the dishes made by Qingyu.

This is enough to show how terrifying its power is.

With Milton's arrival, Ergui Pong soon followed.

"Boni?"

Upon discovering that it was lurking suspiciously outside the kitchen door and had not yet gone in, Erguipeng immediately barked in confusion.

Milton is usually the most eager to eat, sneaking into the kitchen to steal sandwiches every day. Why is he acting so strangely today?
However, Ergui Pong didn't think much of it, only that perhaps Qingyu's sandwich didn't suit its taste today.

It could also have smelled the spicy seasoning? It had also faintly smelled a bit of it earlier.

Milerton is indeed very sensitive to spice, but Ergui Pon is the exact opposite.

So, Erguipeng took the lead and walked confidently into the kitchen.

"Huh? You're the first one here today?"

Qingyu turned around upon hearing the sound, subconsciously raised an eyebrow, and uttered a sigh.

The sun must be rising in the west; Millardton hasn't even appeared yet today...

"Bonnieyo~"

Egui Peng also greeted Qing Yu cheerfully.

However, once it noticed the dishes that had already been prepared next to Qingyu, Erguipeng's expression immediately became complicated, just like Milerton's earlier.

No wonder Milton refused to come in today, so that's why...

"I tried some interesting dishes today, would you like to have a taste?"

Just then, Qingyu suddenly spoke, asking in a gentle tone.

"..."

Egui Peng's expression suddenly turned somewhat awkward, and his body shrank back guiltily.

What should I do? Should I directly tell myself that I don't really want to try the poison...?

But wouldn't that discourage the trainers?
After all, it's a dish made with the trainer's heart, so it wouldn't be right to upset him because of it!
But if I eat all the weird dishes Qingyu makes, I feel like I'll be listless for the next few days...

Just as Egui Peng was struggling with his inner conflict, Qing Yu's voice suddenly rang in his ears again.

"Open your mouth, ah—"

Upon hearing Qingyu's voice, Egui Peng subconsciously followed suit.

By the time it realized what was happening, a pair of chopsticks had already been placed in its mouth, and the aroma of glutinous rice and seaweed had already moistened its taste buds, bringing pleasure to its brain.

???

Ergui Peng was stunned for a moment before he realized what was happening.

Did Qingyu make that dish himself? Has the trainer's culinary nightmare syndrome finally been cured?
Noticing the obvious disbelief on Egui Peng's face, Qing Yu immediately gave a helpless smile.

Is this little guy underestimating my cooking skills?

"If you think the taste is not bad, there are a few wasabi rice balls on the table, which you can have a little something to eat before the meal."

As Qingyu spoke, she reached out and picked up the Treasure Canteen Secret Manual that was standing on the dining table.

It must be said that this "Easy-to-Cook Cooking Guide" is truly impressive. After reading it for the past two days, Qingyu quickly grasped the ultimate secret of Treasure Diner—

The simplest things are often the best; the more basic the ingredients, the more readily they will be accepted by customers!

Bao Canteen has never sold any complicated dishes; it's all ordinary food like grilled rice balls, wasabi rice balls, and red bean soup.

In a sense, it seems not much different from a sandwich.

More than the flavor imparted by the ingredients, Bao Canteen values ​​a subtle feeling and is committed to bringing diners "a taste like home".

Therefore, they unexpectedly have good compatibility with Qingyu, who doesn't play high-level games.

While it's far from being delicious at the moment, at least it's not a culinary disaster.

Improving from a negative number to 1 is a huge step forward.

Practice slowly and you'll eventually be able to make a perfect dish that your Pokémon can't resist and even legendary Pokémon will drool over!
Millerton, standing outside the door, quickly noticed the change in Erguipeng's expression; his eyes became even more confused.

Does this mean that trainers can actually cook at a normal level?

Although still a little confused, Milton's body quickly and honestly walked in, and at Qingyu's prompting, he took a small bite of a rice ball.

Then, she was suddenly moved to tears.

Great, this is real food!

I remember how miserable my life was before. All I ate was sandwiches. No matter how delicious it was, I couldn't eat the same thing every day!

Even though it was just an ordinary, even a bit dry, rice ball, Milton quickly detected a different aroma in it—

The good days of never having the same meal twice are finally coming!
"Is it that exaggerated..."

Qingyu was speechless, feeling as if she had been indirectly harmed by Milton.

Was the food I used to make really that bad that it moved Millerton to tears when he ate something ordinary?

The interactions in the kitchen were observed by the complex-looking armored dragon outside the door.

Gazing at the delicious seaweed rice ball on the table that brought tears to Milton's eyes, a hint of envy flashed across its face, which was completely encased in its shell with only its eyes showing.

Damn it, I can see and smell it, but I can't eat it!

Why can't I eat after evolving? I can only watch other Pokémon eat...

I should have eaten more before evolving!
……

The two-day break passed by in a flash.

Sunday arrived quickly.

Because of her improved cooking skills and the fact that her baby dragon had evolved, Qingyu has been in a pretty good mood these past few days.

He finds enjoying his daily life at the Sunnyvale Gym and interacting happily with Pokémon more interesting than wandering around outside.

However, happy times are always short-lived.

After finishing dinner at the Sunnyvale Gym as usual and receiving unanimous praise from all the Pokémon, it was time for the usual broadcast.

During last week's live stream, I gave a detailed introduction to the main gameplay of the Rain Team, explaining everything from weather control characters to damage dealers and defensive support characters. It's fair to say that I even brought out the Burning Technique for newcomers to learn.

According to the plan, I should continue introducing the rain system in doubles this week.

but……

Qingyu thought about it and realized that the Rain Team in doubles didn't seem to be that "rainy".

Rather than relying on Water-type Pokémon to unleash explosive damage, using weather effects to mitigate some Pokémon weaknesses seems to be more important in double battles.

After all, Kyogre, the only "big brother" of rainy days, definitely can't be included in the game. Without the suppressive power of Kyogre, and without a new generation of rainy day brothers like Aluminum Bridge Dragon, there seem to be few rainy day brothers left who can be entrusted with important tasks.

Having already introduced Mega Swampert, Qingyu doesn't plan to use it for two consecutive weeks.

Speaking of rain teams, Padia has a very unique Water-type Pokémon.

Dolphin Man!
Compared to the much-talked-about "Speaker Hero," this is the real hero with real strength, not some fake hero.

If Dolphin Man is to be used, the team's defensive coordination will also need to be improved accordingly.

and so……

In doubles, who is the most reliable support?
It's definitely the 'Expectorant Mushroom'! (Immediate answer)
(Expanded mushroom)
Qingyu has introduced many of the main Pokémon of the team before, but he has overlooked this mushroom-type Pokémon that looks reliable from behind but is evil from the front.

The reason is also very simple.

Mushroom isn't very suitable for single combat, which is why Qingyu didn't choose it in the previous team.

But this time it was different.

In doubles, Shieldfoil can be considered the most reliable wall.

Qingyu quickly came up with an idea.
