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

Chapter 286 Tapu Finch's Trial

Cynthia could see that Li Shuwen was not at peace, and said with a smile:

"Shuwen, we've run all this way, I think everyone must be hungry. Let's go to the beach and make something to eat."

Moen chimed in, "Yeah, yeah, I am a little hungry."

Li Shuwen nodded, "Okay, leave it to me. The fruit on this island just reminds me of two dishes that should be pretty good."

West Lion Hair watched with curiosity as Li Shuwen prepared the dish.

The tilapia also ate some of the three kinds of food mentioned earlier.

She had clearly seen with her own eyes which ingredients Li Shuwen used, but the final taste of the product was completely beyond Xi Shi Hai Ren's expectations.

Although Li Shuwen was in a hurry, her cooking movements remained unchanged.

With the help of the strong chicken, both dishes were quickly cooked.

"We were not well received."

The sirens also got a share, and the more they ate, the wider their eyes became.

How can it taste so good!

The leader of the West Lion Sea People returned quickly, and from the smile on her face, Li Shuwen knew that she had brought back good news.

"Chief, try these two dishes. I made them to human tastes, but I think you should be able to accept them."

The leader of the West Lion Sea People has a deep relationship with humans and has indeed eaten a lot of food brought by human friends over the years.

Li Shuwen's culinary skills reassured the West Lion Sea King that he could enjoy both dishes with peace of mind.

The West Lion Sea King nodded in satisfaction. "It tastes really good."

After tasting the two dishes, Li Shuwen took a deep breath.

Although he knew it was likely to be a good result, Li Shuwen was still nervous.

Using the power of aura, he communicated with the Primarina leader, "Leader, how is the situation? What did Tapu Fini say?"

The Primarina leader nodded. "The three kinds of food you made tasted very good. Lady Tapu Fini liked them very much, and she has decided to give you a chance."

"Tomorrow morning, Lord Tapu Fini will create a mist that will envelop the entire valley in the northeast of Poni Island."

"If you can enter the mist and find where Tapu Fini is before sunset, she will grant your request."

"Time is tight, and the fog is fraught with danger. Are you confident?"

Li Shuwen clenched his fist. "This is something I must do no matter what, and I will try no matter how difficult it is!"

"No! It absolutely must be done!"

Cynthia's eyes gleamed. "Without further ado, let's go and investigate the situation in the northeastern valley."

Li Shuwen nodded; it was already difficult to discern the situation once shrouded in fog.

If you're not familiar with the original environment of the valley, it will probably be even harder to find Kapufins.

Sofwu thumped his lower back. "I'm not going with you guys. I'll stay and chat with West Lionheart."

"Mountie often wanders around Pony Island; let him take you to Whitewater Valley."

Moen grinned and said, "Leave it to me. Nobody knows Pony Island better than me!"

That's absolutely true. Old Mr. Sofou must have been the person who knew Pony Island best back then.

Every blade of grass and every tree on Pony Island grew under his watchful gaze.

However, as he has grown older, Sofúu no longer has the energy to tour the entire island of Pony as he did when he was young.

Unfortunately, Li Shuwen already had her own career and love life.

Otherwise, Sofwu really wanted to invite Li Shuwen to stay on Bonny Island and become the island's king.

The three rode their Pokémon to Whitewater Valley. Moen smiled and introduced, "The water in Whitewater Valley is clear and sweet, and many Pokémon like to drink here."

"Legend has it that the source of Whitewater Valley is the Pokémon from Poni Island who battled a Pokémon that crossed the Ultra Window to arrive here."

"The attack pierced through the earth's veins, which created a spring at the source. The spring is right in front of us."

Moen pointed ahead, "I suspect that Tapu Fini might be waiting for you at the spring tomorrow."

Upon arriving at the spring, the three landed in front of a green pool of water.

Li Shuwen scooped up some water and took a sip. "The taste is really great. Drinking it regularly is very good for Pokémon's health."

"Brother Moen, show us around the whole Whitewater Valley."

Moen nodded and, as they walked, introduced the environment of Baishui Valley to Li Shuwen.

Where each intersection leads, and where there are landmark plants and rocks to help them find their way.

It took us two whole hours to walk around the entire Baishui Creek Valley.

Baishui Valley is very large, and it would be difficult to hike the entire loop.

Moreover, Tapu Finch can communicate with the spirit world, so her mist is not that simple.

As the original totem god worshipped by the tribe, the power possessed by the Tapu family is definitely more mysterious than Li Shuwen knew!

I walked around again, memorizing the terrain of Baishui Valley.

Li Shuwen then said, "Alright, Cynthia, let's set up camp at the entrance of Whitewater Valley. As soon as the fog appears tomorrow, we'll go in immediately!"

Cynthia nodded and smiled. "This interesting test might help me and Garchomp grow."

After facing Tapu Fini, Cynthia was confident that her Elite Four ranking would go much more smoothly.

It would be great if Garchomp could master the Victory Dance like Kommo-o...

But Cynthia knew perfectly well that this was impossible.

Moen thought for a moment, "How about... I go in with you guys tomorrow?"

Li Shuwen shook his head. "Tapix might summon the Totem Pokémon from past generations to fight us in the mist."

"It's too dangerous. Brother Moen has already helped us a lot, and I don't want to involve you in danger."

Moen scratched his head; his strength was actually not bad.

But like the gap between Hakron and Milton, Garchomp is different.

He's not qualified to participate in tests at this level.

"Alright, I won't go, so as not to hold you back."

After Moen left, Li Shuwen and Shirona began setting up camp.

While having dinner, Li Shuwen gazed at the bright moon in the sky.

I hope tomorrow's operation will go smoothly.

Li Shuwen thought for a moment, then took out his phone and called Li Dazhuang.

No one answered.

He frowned slightly and called Li Meining again.

After a long while, Li Meining finally answered the phone.

"Hey bro, what's up?"

Li Shuwen frowned and said, "Why did it take you so long to answer the phone?"

Li Meining said with a smile, "We were lucky. As soon as we arrived, Dad became friends with Hara, the king of Melo Melo Island."

"Hara enthusiastically told us where to find Tapu Kommo-ko, and I'm sure we'll soon gain Tapu Kommo-ko's approval!"

Li Shuwen nodded. "My situation is also going well. I can take Tapu Fini's test tomorrow. If I pass, I should be able to see my mother."

Li Meining's face lit up with surprise. "Really?"

Li Shuwen nodded, "Don't worry, leave it to me. I'll definitely earn Tapu Fini's approval!"

After hanging up the phone, Li Shuwen began to enjoy her dinner with peace of mind.

Cynthia blinked; it seemed she had forgotten something.

Li Shuwen served food to Cynthia, saying, "Cynthia, try this. This lychee pork is probably the best dish I made tonight."

Cynthia smiled slightly, "Okay."

The thought that had just crossed her mind was quickly forgotten by Cynthia.

Looking at the entrance to the valley, Li Shuwen's eyes grew even more determined.

Tomorrow, no matter what Pokémon stands in his way, he will defeat them!
