This elf world is a bit strange

"This Tyrannosaurus looks like it has a big appetite! Is Miss Ami okay?"

"..."

"..."

The busy volunteers at the venue were still continuously carrying in the delicious food that had just been prepared in the kitchen. While they were waiting, the Tyrannosaurus Rex, which was several levels larger than its peers, attracted the interest of the audience who were chatting out of boredom, and soon a lot of discussion ensued.

Also noticing this were Ami and Shiba, who were sitting in the front row of the contestants, symbolizing the seeded positions.

Ami, who was introverted and easily shy, turned her head quietly, and took a timid look under the cover of the electric dragon light, but her eyes met with Firio's. She was so scared that she turned her head away as if she had been electrocuted, and her round hair accessories and the bow on her chest trembled.

Unlike Ami, Xiba glanced calmly and said nothing. He just released his contestant partner, the equally huge giant Rock Snake, touched its head, and then took out a box of angry buns and started eating.

"Gulu..."

Perhaps it was the aroma of the angry steamed buns that aroused the voracious appetite of a big eater who could never get full, or perhaps she was indeed hungry for a while in advance for this competition. In any case, after a slight sound attracted the attention of many people, a slender girl lowered her head shyly and huddled into a ball.

In a corner where no one was paying attention, the mysterious man in a black cloak shrank to the side inconspicuously, covered his lower abdomen, and looked around vigilantly.

"Damn it...why is it so slow?!"

The mysterious man who lowered his volume seemed very indignant. He was looking at the volunteers who were stacking tableware for everyone, and was very angry.

Fortunately, the waiting time was not long. After the tableware was stacked, the big Pokémon who carried the highlight finally came on stage with mountains of food amid the cheers and boos of the spectators.

"Boom, bang, bang..."

The solid collision sound conveyed information about the amount of food, and also frightened many Trainers and Pokémon who usually thought they had big appetites. They became timid before the fight even started, and only a few confident big eaters began to get ready.

"I declare! The total duration of the 60th Inter-Regional Competitive Eater Championship Kanto Division is minutes! Start the timer now!"

The lively eldest sister Sakura walked up to the stage, holding the microphone, her face full of joy at having received a large sum of sponsorship fees.

Following her command, the large screen that was supposed to record the battle results turned into a timer, and the people on the field and their Pokémon began a fierce competition.

"Boman!——"

After a breathtaking roar, the Dragonite, which had been unable to wait any longer, looked down upon its enemies on all sides, with boundless pride in its heart, and took the lead in attacking the vegetables and meat in front of it.

It has a good appetite that can digest everything and is never picky about food!

In the early stages of the competition, the ultimate big eater was far ahead.

......

......

"Boman..."

When the dust settled, with its belly completely swollen and its almost endless stomach filled with food, Dragonite lay powerlessly on the field, tilting its head and looking at Ami, who was standing on the podium with Lightning Dragon Guang'er, accepting medals with blushing faces.

His dark pupils were filled with disbelief, as if he was watching a god descend to the earth.

It launched a rapid attack in the opening stage and was leading all the way, but in the second half, especially the dessert stage, all the contestants and Pokémon began to lose strength and their eating speed slowed down to a certain extent, but the woman remained stable.

From the first second of the opening to the last second when the end was announced, Ami always maintained an unfathomable attitude like a bottomless pit. Even after Dragonite had been stretched to the point of being unable to move, she remained the same. She came from behind and filled the huge gap between it and Dragonite with her own strength, and left Firion's pitifully small results in front of the gluttons without a trace.

Even when Sakura announced the end of the game, what showed on her face was not the joy or satisfaction of winning, but a little regret that something was not enough.

The flat belly tells of the extraordinary nature of this thin girl.

However, the frustrations were not over for the Tyrannosaurus.

Because after Miss Ami won the championship as the undisputed king, it thought it had completely suppressed Sheba and Giant Onix, but it was surprised to find that it could not even get the runner-up and ended up in third place.

The masked warrior hiding in the corner suddenly emerged and, together with the giant blacksmith with a good appetite, completed the dessert kill at the last moment, and then disappeared without a trace after receiving the prize.

All that was left was a legend and Miss Nazi's meaningful look in the stands.

As for the fourth place, of course it belongs to the ultimate macho man who never hides his muscular body and never wears a shirt regardless of the weather.

"Ah, there are so many talented people here, it's really amazing..."

Stroking his slightly bulging belly, Firion, who had tried his best but had only eaten a tiny portion of the food from the Tyrannosaurus Rex, expressed his sincere admiration, but he was not envious at all, and his tone was leisurely.

"Boman!"

Glaring at Firion who was holding him back but was still smug about it, Dragonite was very dissatisfied with today's failure.

It would have been fine if it wasn't for the woman who couldn't be described by common sense and who seemed to have a black hole in her stomach, but she didn't even get the second place. The competitive-minded Dragonite was furious.

Shinobu became more and more angry as he thought about it. He suddenly raised his upper body and pounced on his useless trainer, pressing him down hard, using the Taishan Pressure that he had learned without a teacher.

"Ow!"

The miserable wailing and the laughter from the stands became the final footnotes of this eating contest.

-----------------

"This guy, Tyrannosaurus, really doesn't give me face. There are so many people watching... Nancy too, why did she suddenly disappear?"

Rubbing his sore waist, Fio began to complain as he felt that sooner or later he would be turned into a Super Salaman by these Pokémon who were not careful with their attacks.

After the Poké Ball on his waist vibrated violently in protest, he could only be angry but not say anything, and looked at the third place reward in his palm.

In addition to getting a ticket to the finals, which he or she would most likely not attend, the third place prize was divided into two parts.

First of all, there is a high-quality mysterious water drop provided by the organizer, Hualan Gym. Its purpose is unquestionable. It is just right to use it to improve the "food" for Emperor Nabo.

The generous Tyrannosaurus naturally didn't care. After all, it was already very satisfied to have the opportunity to compete with big eaters from all over the world, except for Firion, the guy who held it back and caused it to not only lose the championship but also fail to keep the runner-up position.

As for prizes and the like, they are secondary in the eyes of the simple-minded Baofeilong who has no concept of money. There is always someone who worries about it, but it is not him.

Apart from that, the other prize was a bit ridiculous.

One VIP ticket for the Cerulean Three Sisters' water show.

Fans who love water ballet may be more interested in the performances of these three former gym leaders who are not doing their jobs properly, but Firio is obviously not among them.

Looking at it this way, it seems a bit useless.

"Hey! Are you planning on watching a show?"

Just when Filio was holding the ticket and didn't know what to do with it, Nancy, who had disappeared quietly, suddenly appeared again, took out the ticket lightly, and smiled sweetly:

"Performance package... wow, this additional reward is really unique. The three sisters from Hualan City are a famous group, comparable to Ma Xiu and the others."

Nazi pronounced the word "Maxiu" with a heavy emphasis.

【Danger】

The huge blood-red words were invisibly branded on Firio's forehead, instantly sounding the alarm in his heart.

"I don't really understand this kind of Pokémon water show, and I'm not very interested in it. Why don't we just cancel it? We're heading to Mt. Tsukimi tomorrow, so we don't have much time to hang around here."

Faced with a smiling question that could be fatal if answered with the slightest carelessness, Firio appeared calm and composed. His desire to survive was full and he was sincere at the same time.

Cherish life and stay away from unnecessary disasters, this is his unchanging principle during his trip to Guandu.

Listening to Filio's thoughtless solution, Nancy, who already had a deep understanding of his picky aesthetics, smiled, and the jealousy she had deliberately pretended to have disappeared instantly.

She just wanted to tease Firion, so she wouldn't be jealous of three guys who were only good at fancy moves - they were not even on the same level, so how could there be any danger?

"It's a bit of a waste to just do it, and it doesn't seem to respect the organizer." Waving the ticket package in her hand, she thought for a moment and gave her suggestion, "I happen to have a very interesting friend who won the runner-up award this time. She is not very interested in that thing. Do you want to exchange it with her?"

Filio understood the meaning of the song and nodded readily: "If the runner-up is interested, of course I have no problem."

"She must be interested. After all, she needs to take a closer look at how her peers perform so that she can come up with more interesting programs."

Nancy's tone rose slightly, and she poked Firion's cheek with her lazy fingertips.

A flash of lightning flashed through his mind, and Firio's judgment came into play at this moment.

The giant forger, the man in black, the big eater!

The answer is ready to come out.

"Wait, a colleague? The friend you are talking about, couldn't that be..."

"I didn't say anything~"

"Hahaha, alright! What's her reward?"

"Here, I'm sure you're interested. Golden banana fruit, should be enough for a big meal, right?"

"You really know what I want best."

"Of course~" The perfect compliment made Nancy raise her chin proudly and gently raised her right hand, "Then let's go. Are you going to stay at the Pokémon Center today? You can cook for us tonight."

"With pleasure." Filio gently held Nancy's hand and smiled. Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly thought of something, "Speaking of which, how do I give this package...eh?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he realized that this question was unnecessary, because Alakazam, who had been standing behind Nancy, had disappeared, and the ticket in Nancy's hand was also missing.

Smiling and tapping Firion's forehead, Nancy said coquettishly, "You're distracted again! Didn't Alakazam go there? A certain guy with an incredibly thin skin slipped away a long time ago."

Firion nodded in agreement. "I see. This is probably the idol burden of Johto idols."

"I don't have such a burden." Nazi puffed up her cheeks slightly.

His mind moved, and he subconsciously pinched the soft and fragile thing. Filio smiled and said, "Of course, you are the best star in the world, the best in the world, you don't need this kind of thing."

Nazi's expression was half shy and half satisfied: "You are good at talking. I won't let you sleep on the floor today~"

"Hiss—" After taking a breath, Firion's eyes lit up, "You mean...?"

"You can sleep on the sofa today. I'll give you permission."

"It would be better to sleep on the floor..."

Nancy decisively made a big turn with a deep breath, which disappointed Firion, who knew it was unlikely but still followed his instinct and raised his expectations to the maximum.

"Then continue to sleep on the floor? No, why don't you sleep outside the door?"

Her beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, with a hint of cunning in them.

"No, no, no, let's go to the sofa. I suddenly feel that sleeping on the sofa is also good, except that it is easy to catch a cold. It would be great if there was a way to keep warm~"

"Don't give me that~"

While the food lovers' attention was attracted by the easily shy Miss Ami, the two of them, talking and laughing, whispering and flirting, shuttled among the scattered crowd and disappeared in the distance.

Walking on the same path with them is Ami, who still has the championship medal hanging on her chest.

Still not feeling full, she touched her stomach and whispered, "Guang'er, should we go eat something else? Like... a barbecue buffet or something?"

The silent Poké Ball conveys the clearest signal.

There is no logic in front of the bottomless pit that is comparable to a god. Tonight in Cerulean City, another buffet restaurant will face a catastrophe.

-----------------

"Who would want to watch something like this? This girl Nazzi! Not only did she rob people by trickery, she even tried to frame me! Damn it! If I could beat her, I would have to have a good talk with her!"

In the hotel in the evening, Miss Maxiu, who had received the tickets for the three sisters' performance, was in a state of impotent rage, saying the most cowardly and cruel words in the harshest tone.

"It's okay. You can't cook anyway. It would be a waste to give the golden banana fruit to you. It's better to give it to Brother Filio and make the best use of it."

As a fan of Firio, Hua Lian came over with a smile and stabbed Maxiu in the back.

"Damn it! You don't even speak for me! Not only did he give it to him, but he didn't even invite us to dinner! I'm going to ignore this ungrateful girl for at least a week... no, at least a month! Hey! Why are you guys ignoring me?!"

With her little fists clenched tightly, Maxiu's grief and indignation were beyond words as she looked at the four Furisode sisters who were becoming more and more like her fake best friends.

"Because we haven't eaten yet and don't have the energy to talk. We are not like you, running all the way from Johto to participate in a big eating contest and wasting our precious vacation time."

Asami, who was always gentle and graceful, showed no mercy.

"That's it!"

Although they couldn't find any words to make the criticism more powerful, Xiyin and Tong Hua still nodded vigorously, like chicks pecking at rice, to express their support for their companions.

The four Furisode sisters are still closely connected today.

"Wow...I'm going back to Johto! I don't want to play with you guys anymore!"

Under the bright lights, the cries of the loser lady who was deserted by her friends and family echoed.

Chapter 264: The long-lost profiteer and the urgent mission

Route 4 is the only way to reach Mt. Tsukimi, and it passes through endless wilderness.

This is an important grain crop producing area in Kanto, with fertile soil and mild climate. Now is the time when the land turns from green to golden color, making it particularly suitable and beautiful.

The off-road vehicle coming all the way from the Golden Gym was driving very fast on the road with few cars and people. The whistling wind blew past the window, bringing with it the scorching heat of the hot summer and the aroma of wheat that was about to mature, but this was nothing to the two people who were staying in the car enjoying the air conditioning.

Compared with the highways in Kalos, the roads in the Kanto region seem more quaint, but they have the advantage of not having many passengers. Especially on such a hot summer weekday, there are very few vehicles, and it is more pleasant to drive there than there.
