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

Chapter 183 He sold himself for a mere box of ice cream.

When Li Shuwen woke up again, he found himself lying in a cave with a soft sleeping bag underneath him.

Cynthia had made excellent preparations.

Cynthia was nearby, cooking on a stove.

Li Shuwen sat up, rubbing his throbbing temples, and asked, "Cynthia, what happened to those two Pokémon while I was unconscious?"

Cynthia looked at Li Shuwen with concern, "Shuwen, how are you feeling? You were really reckless just now!"

Li Shuwen shook his head. "I'm fine. I just fainted because I overused the power of waveguide. There's nothing seriously wrong with my body. I'll recover after half a day of rest."

"I'm just exhausted. If you were to take the brunt of the explosion, the injuries would be severe. As a gentleman, I naturally cannot let a girl get hurt."

Cynthia smiled. "Even in this situation, you're still being sarcastic."

Hearing the dragon's roar coming from outside the cave, Cynthia frowned slightly.

"I never expected there to be two such powerful Pokémon in the Padia Crater, and they even have the ability to influence the environment."

"When their forces collide, it causes conflict and explosion, not just their own energy."

"The crystals in the mountain will also explode under their influence, in addition to the ancient-looking Pokémon we just encountered."

"In this area we are in now, there are quite a few Pokémon with technological and metallic appearances that have absorbed the electricity emitted by that purple giant lizard."

"Those mechanical-style Pokémon became unusually active, and compared to the ancient-style ones, they were slightly less aggressive."

"This cave was just dug by Garchomp, and those colorful crystals were specially cleaned to prevent an energy explosion caused by the giant lizard's battle."

Cynthia ladled out a bowl of thick soup and handed it to Li Shuwen.

"You've overused your waveguide power. Eat something to recover first."

Sipping the thick soup that Cynthia had made, Li Shuwen nodded, "Delicious."

His thoughts returned to the time before he lost consciousness, recalling the fragrance he had smelled.

The familiar scent came from his first visit with Baicai to Chef Caibo's dessert shop.

Bai Cai took the initiative to pin him against the wall.

The scent was exactly the same as the scent he smelled when Cynthia hugged him.

Cynthia is cabbage, and cabbage is Cynthia!

He should have thought of this sooner!

Seeing that Li Shuwen stopped after taking a sip, Cynthia asked, puzzled, "What's wrong? Is the soup I made not to your liking?"

Li Shuwen smiled and said, "No, it tastes really good."

Li Shuwen continued eating.

At the same time, he was pondering whether or not to confront Cynthia.

At first, Cynthia didn't say anything, probably because she just wanted to interact with the siblings as an ordinary person.

Cynthia's indifference when she saw him eating with the girl with glasses.

Why would Cynthia stand up for her best friend? She's just jealous.

I never expected that Cynthia would ask a question like who is prettier, her or the cabbage.

and many more!

Li Shuwen froze. He remembered that he had clearly stated to Cynthia that he liked cabbage.

What should I do?!

Li Shuwen's face turned slightly red.

Cynthia looked at Li Shuwen, who seemed rather strange after waking up.

He walked over and placed his hand on Li Shuwen's forehead.

"Your forehead feels hot; do you have a fever?"

A natural, subtle fragrance wafted over.

And the feel of this hand is exactly the same as when he taught Baicai how to make clay.

This further convinced Li Shuwen that Cynthia was indeed a perfect match.

Cynthia withdrew her hand, and Li Shuwen looked at her with a half-smile.

Looking into Li Shuwen's eyes, Cynthia felt her heart flutter.

"Cynthia, I plan to confess my feelings to Hakuna after we get back from this adventure!"

Cynthia's pupils dilated slightly. "Really!?"

Li Shuwen smiled slightly, "Yes, but I haven't figured out how to confess to Baicai yet. You're Baicai's best friend, so I'd like to ask you to help me think of something."

Cynthia, oh Cynthia, since you've disguised yourself as Cabbage's best friend.

Then please help me think of a great idea to confess my feelings to the cabbage!

Cynthia froze, prompting her to think of a way to confess her feelings to him.

Li Shuwen, you really know how to have fun.

Li Shuwen smiled and winked, "You're Bai Cai's best friend, you have to help me! I know a kind of flower ice cream."

"I haven't even cooked for Baicai yet. If you can come up with a good idea, I can cook for you first."

Li Shuwen patted Cynthia on the shoulder. "How are you?"

Cynthia looked up hastily, "Okay...okay!"

Li Shuwen knew that Cynthia must really be craving flower ice cream.

Since Cynthia is like cabbage, then flower ice cream can naturally be made for her.

Cynthia forced a smile. "I'll think of something for you right now..."

Cynthia twisted her fingers. "Speaking of flower ice cream, why not just create a place where flowers bloom and confess your love to a cabbage?"

Li Shuwen smiled; he did indeed intend to confess his feelings to Bai Cai in the flowerbed.

But now...

Since Cynthia used the fake identity of "cabbage" to deceive him.

He then used the flowerbed to thoroughly tease Cynthia.

After giving the suggestion, Cynthia began to regret it.

Cynthia, how could you sell yourself for a mere flower ice cream?

Cynthia steeled herself and decided that she might as well agree!

With Li Shuwen's current appearance...

Cynthia shook her head. She was just craving ice cream, absolutely! Absolutely nothing to do with anything else!

"That's definitely a good idea. You must come with Bai Cai and give me some help."

Cynthia smiled somewhat stiffly, "Okay, I'll definitely come to help then."

"Then...it's a deal!" Cynthia suddenly looked away, raising her voice, "Ice cream...is a must!"

Cynthia only drank one bowl, while the entire pot of thick soup ended up in Li Shuwen's stomach.

After drinking the thick soup, Li Shuwen's eyes began to move.

Fresh flowers are needed to make flower ice cream.

Although there are many ferocious Pokémon in the Padia Crater.

But there's no denying that the environment here is also fantastic.

Flowers are, of course, indispensable.

Unfortunately, Guleton and Milton are still wreaking havoc outside.

"Cynthia, those two giant lizards have been fighting non-stop?"

Cynthia frowned and said, "More or less, but the noise is getting quieter and quieter. They're probably running out of energy soon."

Before long, the dragon roars and sounds of battle outside subsided.

Li Shuwen raised an eyebrow. "Cynthia, shall we go out and take a look?"

Cynthia shook her head. "It's getting dark soon, and those Metallica Pokémon are full of energy, making them difficult to fight."

"Let them fight each other first until they've exhausted their strength, then we'll go out and wipe everything out first thing tomorrow morning."

A burning fighting spirit flashed in Cynthia's eyes. She really wanted to command Garchomp to clash with either of the two giant lizards.

Cynthia had a feeling that just this one battle would be enough for her and Garchomp to reap huge rewards.

If Garchomp can surpass its current strength and crush the other three Elite Four members, becoming the Elite Four Champion will be a piece of cake.

Not only Garchomp, but this place is also full of ferocious Pokémon, making it a good place for the remaining five Pokémon to grow stronger through battle.

"Shuwen, can your wave-guiding power locate that giant red lizard?"

The explosion was caused by the red lizard's charge.

This caused Li Shuwen to fall into a coma due to overuse of waveguide power.

Cynthia deserves her revenge!

Li Shuwen nodded. "No problem. The red lizard's waveguide is very bright; I can find it easily!"
