A drop of cold sweat ran down Xiao Gang's forehead: "Which powerful man is it?"
Ami, who was holding the Electric Dragon and silently peeking at the screen, blushed so much that she almost crawled into the ground.
Xiaolan: "@Miss Ami is the three-time champion of the Big Eater Contest!"
"What?!" Xiaogang and Xiaozhi were struck by lightning.
Xiaozhi: "Ah, Miss Ami, you look so thin..."
"Maybe this is... appearance is not the best?" Xiao Gang touched his chin.
Ami, who had two braids on her head, blushed and finally said:
"I just... ate a little more."
Lu Ye was slightly stunned.
Won the title of the Big Eater for three consecutive years...
Miss Ami, who was extremely ordinary, suddenly became extraordinary!
"So, Ami also signed up?" Xiaogang asked.
Ami: "Hmm..."
"It seems like it will be very difficult for Snorlax to win the championship..." Xiaozhi scratched his head.
Lu Ye suddenly thought of something and asked, "Master Ami, could your partner in the competition be Steelix?"
"No, it's just me and Guang'er." Ami said weakly.
According to the competition rules, trainers need to appear on stage with their Pokémon.
The combined scores of both sides are counted towards the game’s statistics.
Even with Dragonite's small body, it can defeat a group of powerful warriors such as Snorlax and Devils.
It is enough to imagine that Ami’s outstanding features...
“Not just a real newcomer.”
Lu Ye murmured: "Many gym owners are also monsters..."
Candidates in the group who will participate in the competition.
Including Mr. Lu, Xiaozhi, A-mi, and A-li.
As a chef, Xiaogang will do his best to serve everyone sumptuous dishes and also prepare small performances to entertain the guests.
As the owner of the Vermilion Leaf City Gym, Ma Zhishi has no interest in this competition.
"If there is any illegal propaganda, please report it to me."
Ma Zhishi shrugged, "I won't go. The champion is the same every year anyway."
Xiaozhi clenched his fists, his eyes burning with fire: "This year, Snorlax and I will definitely win the championship!"
The big eating contest will be held at the port of Vermilion Leaf City tomorrow.
Lu Ye happened to be free, so he planned to take the little ones for a ride in Vermilion Leaf City.
As a staff member, Xiaogang recommended Luye, Xiaozhi and Ali, so there would be no situation where someone registered but was not selected.
As a previous champion, Ah Mi naturally attended as a special guest.
Johto, shallow onion city.
"what to do… "
Ah Mi blushed and whispered:
"How should I greet everyone tomorrow..."
"Is it better to eat elegantly? But I'm really hungry..."
The electric dragon stood beside Ami, stretched out his short arms and hugged Ami: "Mee Miu!"
“… Thank you, Guang’er.” Ami closed her eyes and then showed a serious look.
"Tomorrow, we must not lose to Mr. Lu and Xiaozhi!"
"咩婷！?（^?^●）ノ"
…
January 19, Tuesday, sunny.
Gengar was floating beside Lu Ye, and he met Xiaozhi at the agreed place.
"Teacher Lu, long time no see!" Xiaozhi waved with a smile.
"Snorlax~" Snorlax stood beside Xiaozhi, squinting his eyes and echoed in a muffled voice.
Lu Ye vaguely remembered that this Snorlax could also do the butterfly stroke, and its strength was terrifying.
If trained well, he might be able to rival Red Kirby.
However, Xiaozhi doesn't like to use this big guy, so he has kept it in Professor Oak's courtyard.
Professor Oak really spent a lot of money...
Lu Ye was somewhat emotional and jokingly said, "Let's go, the bound person!"
The two took the train to Vermilion City.
"Kou Jie! Ψ(￣?￣)Ψ"
Geng Gui is ready to fight at any time.
Xiaozhi had already put Snorlax back into the Poké Ball, and when the train arrived at the station, he excitedly jumped off the train.
"Big Eater Challenge! Here I come!"
When we arrived at the competition destination, it was decorated with lights and many vendors had already gathered there.
"Hey, little brother!" The ramen chef greeted Lu Ye and said with a smile, "It's you!"
Lu Ye nodded and asked curiously, "Master, how many vendors are running this business together?"
“Yeah… Almost all the famous restaurants in Vermilion City are here. This is Vermilion City’s traditional festival.” The ramen chef laughed.
The celebration attracted many tourists, and there were many stalls around the competition stage.
Lu Ye took a casual glance and was suddenly stunned.
Among a group of staff members, a meow standing on two feet stood out.
"These three are here again?!"
Chapter 363: Challenge from Xiaogang
"This big eater challenge is very important, everyone must cheer up!" The supervisor was giving a speech through a loudspeaker.
The trio saluted and replied, "Understood!"
The three of them breathed a sigh of relief only after the supervisor left.
"I thought I could eat for free if I was successful in the application, but I didn't expect it to be so hard, meow~" Meow Meow sighed.
"What nonsense!" Musashi sneered, "This is a fund-raising operation. It's preparing for the future!"
"That's right. If you work a few more jobs, you'll have the money to make robots next time!" Kojiro agreed.
Suddenly, Miaomiao opened his mouth and stammered, "Cadre!"
"Don't try to be lazy!" Musashi hit Meowth on the head with his brow, "It's no use using the cadres as a shield!"
"Hello, officers!" Kojiro stood up straight suddenly.
Musashi was stunned for a moment, turned around, and was about to scream, but Kojiro and Meowth rushed over in time and covered his mouth.
"Why are you here, meow?"
"I should be the one asking you this..."
Lu Ye said helplessly: "Last time I asked you to sell trainer cards, you won't be reduced to working part-time, right?"
In the P1 fighting competition before Christmas, Kojiro carried forward the spirit of the merchant's son and combined PTCG with the league card.
According to the principle of 30% and 70% split, 30% of the income will be temporarily kept by Lu Ye, and the rest will be used as funds for the trio.
That's a lot of money, but right now...
Lu Ye looked at the pale and skinny trio, and twitched his mouth: "Are you guys going to catch Pikachu again?"
"It's not about catching Pikachu." Kojiro scratched his head. "The new robot made with the funds was originally intended to deal with the little devil."
"But when Meowth made his grand appearance," Meowth said, "he encountered a group of poachers who wanted to take Pikachu."
"So, we teamed up with the little brat and arrested those poachers!" Musashi said proudly with his hands on his hips, then slumped his shoulders.
"But the robot exploded and the funding was lost..."
"But please don't worry, we will definitely bring Pikachu to you!" Kojiro said loudly.
“Soooooooooo!!”
Lu Ye was slightly stunned. Wow, this is a classic cooperation plot from all the generations!
Thanks to these three kind-hearted idiots, the Rockets' reputation may be further improved.
But due to lack of funds, he had no choice but to go out to work... This is too sad!
"I've told you many times that I don't need Pikachu, so you better take care of yourselves."
Lu Ye rubbed his brows and said, "I will transfer the 30% of the previous income to your account, but you are not allowed to use it to make weird props!"
The trio was stunned for a moment.
"cadre!ヘ(;?Д｀ヘ)"
"By the way, you can also pay attention to the Alliance Conference." Lu Ye said casually, "You can set up a stall and maybe make a lot of money."
"You're the one who wants to participate, right? Don't worry, we will definitely collect information about your opponent for you, meow!"
"In the name of making trainer cards, let them be defenseless!"
"Hey, what a great feeling~~"
Lu Ye interrupted the three people's imagination and glanced at the main stage where the crowd was gradually gathering.
"The game is about to start, aren't you going to help?"
"Oh no! My supervisor is going to scold me!" Kojiro held down his hat and ran to help.
"Damn you, Kojiro, you sneaked away, meow~!"
The three idiots hurried to the kitchen to prepare food for the eating contest.
In the kitchen, Xiaogang, wearing a chef's apron, squinted his eyes and looked at the three people.
"You three... look familiar?"
The trio sweated profusely.
"Never mind." Xiao Gang lowered his head and said seriously, "There is a great monster in this room, so we must prepare enough food!"
"Really? Kid... Satoshi's Snorlax doesn't look that powerful either." Musashi said.
"No." Xiao Gang looked serious and raised his head to look at the display screen in the back kitchen.
In the picture, Ami, with light yellow braids and wearing a dress, has a flushed face and is looking at her toes.
The electric dragon waved his short hands and greeted the media, "Mee Miu~"
"It's the big eater who has dominated three competitions in a row!" Xiaogang narrowed his eyes.
…
Channel for contestants.
Gengar bared his fangs and claws, provoking the Snorlax beside him.
"Kou Jie!"
“Kirby… (￣—￣)” Snorlax rubbed his belly, unmoved.
