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

Chapter 257 An Invitation from Niijima

As she watched, Cynthia suddenly asked, "Do you think this actress named Karuno is pretty?"

Cynthia didn't hear Li Shuwen's reply. She turned around and saw that Li Shuwen had fallen asleep on the sofa.

This movie... was pretty good, wasn't it?

As for it being so boring that it put Li Shuwen to sleep?

Cynthia nudged Li Shuwen, "Since you're so tired, go back to sleep. We can watch the movie another time."

Li Shuwen rubbed his face. "Sorry, I received twenty challengers today, I'm really tired."

Cynthia's eyes widened. "How much?"

Li Shuwen nodded, "You heard me right, twenty. It's alright, not too tiring."

Cynthia's lips twitched. "Those gym leaders who have to deal with two challengers a day have the nerve to say they're working hard."

"You do twenty a day and say you're not too tired? You're incredibly energetic!"

Li Shuwen picked up a grape, popped it into his mouth, and said, "I'm fine, let's keep watching."

Cynthia forcibly pulled Li Shuwen up, "No, you go back to sleep! I'll ask Gadriya to watch the movie with me."

Li Shuwen had no choice but to obediently listen to Cynthia and go back to sleep.

Cynthia arrived at Gadalia's door and knocked. "The cutest Gadalia in the world, may I come in?"

"Come in."

When Cynthia entered, she found Cattleya sitting in front of the computer, carefully reviewing information on Psychic-type Pokémon.

"Are you choosing your first Pokémon?"

Cattleya nodded. "Cynthia, do you have any good recommendations?"

Cynthia stroked her chin. "I'm not very good at this. You can ask Mr. Shi Lan, or Shu Wen, too."

After thinking for a moment, Gadria said, "I'll ask them both, combine their suggestions, and then choose one as my starter Pokémon."

Cynthia nodded. "Do you have a favorite Psychic Pokémon?"

Caldelia found a picture of the Gothic baby and said with a smile, "This little guy looks so cute."

"I quite like her."

Cynthia was a little surprised. "I thought you would like Gardevoir."

Cattleya waved her hand, "Gardedoll is too ordinary, it has no personality at all. It would be better to raise a Gallade like Li Shuwen did."

Cynthia didn't know what to say, "Never mind, come with me to see a movie first."

……

When Cynthia woke up, she went to the restaurant and smelled a familiar aroma.

Someone brought her breakfast. Cynthia turned around and saw, "Shuwen, why are you making breakfast again?"

Li Shuwen smiled and said, "I went to bed too early last night. After waking up, I just wandered around the spaceship and happened to run into Mr. Shi Lan."

"I had him take me to the kitchen, and I made myself some breakfast."

"Where's Catharia? Isn't she coming for breakfast yet?"

Cynthia took a bite of her fried egg. "Because of her superpowers and her morning grumpiness, no one urges Gadlia to get up for breakfast. They just let her sleep until she naturally wakes up."

Li Shuwen shrugged. "Alright then."

Li Shuwen also sat down to eat breakfast. Shi Lan came over and said, "Young Master Shuwen, we have arrived at the Old Coast Wharf. After you finish breakfast, you can go down and pick up your sister."

"However, we can't return immediately. We need to go to Goldenrod City to find my friend and borrow a stray Alakazam to help Ms. Cattleya train her psychic powers."

Li Shuwen nodded. "No problem."

After Cynthia and Li Shuwen drove their flying car down to the old coast pier, Cattleya finally arrived late for breakfast.

"Hmm, Shilan, has your cooking improved?"

Shi Lan smiled and said, "Breakfast was prepared by Young Master Shuwen."

Cattleya looked around. "Where are those two? Did they go on a date?"

"We have arrived at the Old Coast Pier, and they have disembarked."

Cattleya ate quickly. "Get ready for the flying car. I want to go down and take a look too."

……

Li Meining never expected that her brother would be with Cynthia, driving a flying car and descending from the sky.

During the time she left the Veiled Dojo and traveled to the Kanto region.

What exactly happened at home?

Not only flying cars, but also huge flying fortresses in the sky.

Everyone stared wide-eyed at this, and Xiao Zhi asked in surprise, "Xiao Ning, is your family that rich?"

Li Meining spread her hands, "If my family were really that rich, would I still need to worry about food expenses?"

Shinji coldly stabbed, "Who told you to not only eat so much yourself, but also to overestimate yourself and capture a Snorlax?"

Li Meining held her head in her hands, "Stop talking, my head hurts."

The person cooking is Shinji, and Shinji doesn't even have a headache yet.

Li Meining was the first to feel pain.

Xiaoxia stared at Li Shuwen as he stepped off the flying car, her face instantly turning into a lovesick expression. "So handsome!"

Ash scoffed, "What's the use of being cool? A true trainer proves themselves through battles."

Li Meining blinked. Was her brother this handsome when she left home?

Xiao Gang also saw the stunning blonde beauty next to Li Shuwen.

Xiao Gang was about to step forward and make his usual confession when he was swept by Cynthia's gaze, and Xiao Gang's heart immediately turned cold.

Xiaoxia was a little surprised that Xiaogang didn't go up and confess his feelings.

Is this still the Xiao Gang she knows?

Xiaoxia unconsciously rubbed her right hand, wanting to tug at Xiaogang's ear.

Shinji glanced at Ash and said with a smile, "Not only is Shuwen handsome, but he's also incredibly skilled in Pokémon battles."

Li Shuwen smiled and said, "Xiao Ning, how have you been lately?"

Li Meining smiled and said, "It's fine."

After looking around, "Aren't you going to introduce your friends?"

Li Meining quickly introduced, "This is Xiaoxia, the prospective gym leader of the Cerulean Gym in Cerulean City, known in the martial arts world as the playful mermaid."

Xiaoxia smiled and waved, "Hello."

"This is Brock. He's a great cook, the gym leader of Pewter City, and a tough guy! He likes older women and gets rejected by one of them on average every day."

Xiao Gang immediately collapsed to the ground, looking utterly dejected, like a wilted eggplant.

"This is Ash. He loves battling. No matter how strong the enemy is, Ash will dare to rush up and fight."

"Although he lost, Ash's courage is something we should all learn from."

Ash stomped his foot in frustration, "What do you mean 'could lose'? I've already got a twenty-game winning streak, okay?"

Shinji scoffed dismissively. "Is beating those amateur trainers on the sidelines something to be proud of?"

"As a professional trainer, winning twenty casual matches is not as good as focusing on training your Pokémon for an afternoon."

Xiao Zhi gritted his teeth, "You!"

Li Shuwen tried to smooth things over, saying, "Both battles and training are important; trainers need to excel in both!"

Ash nodded in agreement. "Brother Shuwen is right. Can we have a battle?"

Li Shuwen smiled and nodded, "No problem, let's do one-on-one. We'll have the match in the open space over there."

Ash sent out his Pokémon first, "Pikachu, please!"

After thinking about it, Li Shuwen felt that using this Pokémon was more suitable.

"Go, Electabuzz!"

When Electabuzz appeared, its powerful aura made Pikachu's eyes turn serious.

Just as Xiao Gang was about to announce the start of the match, a Dragonite carrying a mailbag flew swiftly from the direction of the sea and stopped beside Li Shuwen.

He took out an invitation and handed it to Li Shuwen.
