Chapter 474 Kojiro's Trainer Dream?
"Congratulations on your successful advancement, Kengo."
Xiao Guang smiled and replied, glancing at the three people at the table. He asked curiously, "Speaking of which, what were you talking about just now? You seemed to be having a good time."
Just as Jianwu was about to answer, Xiaowang spoke first, a teasing smile on her lips: "We're praising your performance and your ability to adapt to unexpected situations."
She took a small sip of her juice and said, "Ulala told us that you two seemed to have a conflicting performance theme, so you changed the performance schedule at the last minute on the stage of the big celebration, right?"
Xiao Guang was stunned, not expecting that Wulala had guessed all of this.
She subconsciously looked at Ulala, who simply shrugged, with an expression that said, "I told you so, isn't this a compliment?"
Moreover, Xiao Guang quickly realized that Xiao Wang was teasing him, so he retorted, "You guys are no exception—"
Before he could finish speaking, a commotion suddenly broke out at the other end of the restaurant, interrupting Xiao Guang.
Turning our gaze to the source of the sound, we saw Xiao Gang rushing toward the table where Miss Joey and Miss Melissa were sitting together with lightning speed.
"Ah! Ladies! It must be fate that we meet on such a special occasion!"
Xiao Gang's eyes instantly turned into hearts. He knelt on one knee, right hand over his chest, left hand outstretched, as if enacting a Shakespearean love story, "Please allow me—"
"Croak!"
A flash of blue light, and the shrewd frog jumped out of the Poké Ball, delivering a precise chop to Brock's waist with a purple-glowing hand strike.
Xiao Gang's expression froze instantly, then he collapsed to the ground, trembling. He was dragged by the back of his collar by the scoundrel and slowly disappeared around the corner of the restaurant.
The unexpected scene made everyone exchange smiles.
Xiao Zhi looked at the table of special guests, then walked over to Xiao Song and whispered, "Speaking of which, is this really alright? Inviting the judges to dinner together..."
When Xiaosong heard Xiaozhi's question, she just laughed heartily and patted Xiaozhi on the shoulder:
"Don't worry! I'm the gym leader of the Chefton City Gym, not a contestant. What's wrong with inviting Miss Joy and Miss Melissa to dinner? It just so happens that these contestants from the big festival are also here."
Although she said that, Xiao Song glanced out the window while speaking, and nodded with relief only after confirming that there were no reporters.
Even if it gets reported, it's fine, as long as it's not exaggerated. It's just a pity that reporters nowadays seem to have made exaggeration a common practice.
.....
While the tables outside the restaurant were chatting quietly, the atmosphere at the table furthest inside was particularly lively.
Sitting there were Sweet Musashi Rena and her "family and friends"—Kojiro and Nyanko-sensei in disguise.
Kojiro and Meow Meow were sitting together. Although there was only a little appetizer on the table, Kojiro and Meow Meow were eating with great relish, wolfing down their food as if they hadn't eaten for days.
"This salad tastes amazing!" Kojiro mumbled between mouthfuls of food.
"The aroma of this bread is simply intoxicating, meow~" Meow's eyes sparkled with happy tears as she kept putting food into her mouth with her paws.
Although the official hotel for the grand celebration also provided free buffet meals for the contestants' family and friends, this was a well-known restaurant after all, so the standard was naturally higher. In addition, the two were particularly touched by the warm invitation, and they unconsciously ate faster.
"Thank you so much for the invitation, Master Xiaosong! We'd be happy to help if there's anything we can do for you!"
"That's right, meow! If you need any help in the future, just say so, meow!" Meow echoed, her eyes glistening with grateful tears.
Xiao Song waved her hand generously: "It's okay, don't worry about it too much. After all, we are all companions moving towards the same goal! It's fate that we can eat together."
"companion……"
Upon hearing this word, Kojiro and Meow Meow burst into tears, hugging each other and sobbing uncontrollably, as if they had found a spiritual home.
Sweet Musashi Rena, who was standing to the side, couldn't stand it anymore. She coughed lightly and nudged the two of them with her elbow.
"Can you two be a little more elegant? Stop getting all sentimental here! If someone sees this, they'll think I'm torturing my friends and family!" she said in a low voice, with a hint of disdain.
The two immediately composed themselves, straightened their backs, and returned to normal.
only.
Kojiro slowed down as he ate his food, while secretly glancing at Musashi's radiant appearance.
"Companions, it's so good..."
Kojiro silently pondered the word, his gaze unconsciously drifting towards the trainers who were joking and teasing each other in the restaurant.
This lively atmosphere made Kojiro fall into deep thought.
A bold idea sprouted in his mind—perhaps he could also have another identity like Musashi and realize some dreams that he dared not imagine as a member of Team Rocket?
Thinking about it carefully, from the Hoenn region all the way to the Sinnoh region, Musashi usually devoted herself wholeheartedly to the Grand Contests, except for being busy with Team Rocket.
Shining on stage.
This is Musashi's dream, and she has been working hard for it, achieving some success.
Although he wasn't particularly interested in Contests, Kojiro had a childhood dream of becoming a Trainer and standing on the stage of the League Tournament.
Having witnessed firsthand how Satoshi grew up step by step from the Kanto region all the way here, it seems unlikely that Kojiro himself had no thoughts about it.
He had simply ignored this idea in the past.
But today, as he sits in this restaurant imbued with the atmosphere of dreams, as he is entertained as a companion, as he witnesses Musashi's achievements.
He finally began to question himself for ignoring this idea.
Musashi can succeed.
Musashi taught himself all his combat techniques.
Perhaps I could give it a try? To try a completely new path with a brand new identity.
Of course, the Rockets are still his final destination.
That's right.
This is simply to increase their own strength and improve their chances of winning in the operation to capture Pikachu!
Dojo battles, League tournaments!
Then give it a try!
Where will the next region be?
Kojiro put down his knife and fork and looked out the window, his eyes filled with anticipation for the future.

P.S.: Thank you all for your gifts and support~ I'll try to release the next two chapters tonight, and the few in between will be more slice-of-life chapters.
(I didn't expect my new book to flop so quickly. It seems that a slow writing pace isn't working well for Tomato.)
