Chapter 220 Representative Fladali is here to challenge!

The almost warning words from Flammel Mask made Luo Mu frown, and suddenly he felt that the delicious food that was about to come into his mouth was not so exciting anymore.

Vladali is a difficult character. Let’s not talk about the time when he was a good guy. Now that he has gone to extremes, he is undoubtedly a smiling tiger with excellent disguise and is very dangerous.

Some people might have fallen into the pit he dug without even realizing it, and are still working wholeheartedly for Vladali.

Soon, after walking along the bright mountain path, a brightly lit French restaurant built on the top of the mountain came into view.

Quite a few people had gathered here at this time. In addition to the wealthy ladies in elegant evening gowns and successful people in suits and ties, there were also many people dressed from the elite to the ordinary class.

It can be seen that although Zhimi runs a high-end restaurant, his network of contacts is not divided into high and low classes, and he has connections with people from all walks of life.

The arrival of Luo Mu and Flame Chicken Mask attracted a lot of attention. Of course, most of the reason was because of Flame Chicken Mask’s unique outfit.

Under so many gazes, Luo Mu felt as if he was being burned by flames.

Fortunately, the Flame Chicken Mask not only serves a decorative purpose, but also attracts the host's attention.

Zhimi, wearing a white chef's uniform, walked over quickly. When he saw Luo Mu, his eyes lit up and he said in surprise, "Luo Mu!"

Luo Mu responded: "King Zhimi, long time no see."

"I'm very happy that you accepted my invitation."

Zhimi walked up and gave Luo Mu a big hug. Although people in the Kalos region are always so enthusiastic, Zhimi's intimate behavior still made the celebrities around him speculate about Luo Mu's identity.

Shimi is an elegant chef and host. He naturally did not forget the Flame Chicken Mask standing beside him and said enthusiastically, "I have heard of your name for a long time. Flame Chicken Mask, the superhero who secretly guards the peace of Miare City, I am honored that you accept my invitation."

While Flame Chicken Mask was communicating with Shimi, Luo Mu looked at him in surprise. Was it his illusion? Shimi meant that he didn't expect Flame Chicken Mask to accept the invitation?
That is, Flame Chicken Mask changed his mind for some reason and chose to accept the invitation. So, could this reason be
Luo Mu seemed to be thinking about something.

After the greetings were over, Zhimi saw a new guest coming in the back and said with a smile: "Then I'll excuse myself. The dinner will be held in the form of a buffet. The food is all the proud creations of my team and I. Please be sure to taste it."

"There will also be a battle session after the dinner. I would be very happy if you could participate, especially Luo Mu. I am looking forward to defeating you and becoming the most dazzling person at the battle dinner."

After winking at Luo Mu, Zhimi turned and left.

After Shimi walked away, the confused Flame Chicken Mask looked at Luo Mu and said in disbelief: "You have defeated Shimi the King!?"

The so-called high society dinner is nothing more than clinking glasses and chatting with each other.

Of course, there is also a group of people who are slightly different. They don’t care about maintaining interpersonal relationships. All they have in their eyes are the dazzling array of delicious food. Holding knives and forks, they sweep through the food as if they were on a battlefield.

Luo Mu and Blaziken are also among them.

With a lot of food in his mouth, Flame Chicken Mask looked at Luo Mu and asked vaguely: "Is it really okay for us to do this?"

Luo Mu didn't bother to answer at all. He took the opportunity to drink water and rest before he spoke: "So what should I do? I'm a local dog and I love this. Anyway, I can't adapt to those compliments. Instead of wasting my breath on that, I might as well eat more delicious food."

"Besides, you know what, even though these delicacies are just a buffet, the quality is really no different from what you order in a restaurant. So bad!"

Blaziken Mask was speechless. This was the first time he had seen someone as free and easy as Luo Mu. Was this the confidence that his strength gave him?

The eating speed slowed down a bit. Flammel Mask remembered what Luo Mu had just said, that he had defeated Shimi's Mega Blastoise head-on. No wonder Luo Mu, a Padian, was not surprised at all to see his Dragonite undergo Mega evolution. It turned out that he had already competed with Shimi before.

After defeating the Mega evolved Four Heavenly Kings Aces, Luo Mu really exceeded his expectations time and time again.

There was no socializing, and with Luo Mu being an unknown person and Flame Chicken Mask wearing strange clothes, by the end of the meal, there was actually no one who came to talk to them.

While tasting the food, Luo Mu saw some familiar-looking people, such as the gym leaders from the Carlos region and the Four Heavenly Kings, who all appeared at this banquet.

Just like that, the banquet came to the most important and eye-catching part. Shimi stepped onto the stage and said to everyone with a big smile:
"Welcome everyone to the battle dinner I hosted. I wonder if you enjoyed the food and wine. If not, they are all masterpieces carefully prepared by my team and I. Please enjoy them."

"Then, before the main event of the night, please allow me to introduce two guests to you - the champion of the Carlos League, the actress Ms. Karunay, and the representative of the Fradali Institute, the philanthropist Fradali!"

At the same time, the lights in the restaurant suddenly gathered in one place. A lady wearing a well-tailored black off-shoulder evening gown and a jeweled crown on her head and a tall gentleman in a white suit came to the podium next to Zhimi hand in hand under the astonished gaze of everyone.

There is no doubt that the two people are Kaluna and Fradari.

The people around Luo Mu and Flame Chicken Mask exclaimed in a low voice: "So beautiful, Miss Karunori! Only she can wear the low-key and elegant black evening dress to such a dazzling effect!" "Representative Vladari is also very handsome. I can feel his reassuring affinity from the audience. He is worthy of being a great philanthropist in the Kalos region!"

"Do you think they are a good match?"

"Do you think so too!?"

While they were chatting animatedly over there, Luo Mu's eyes were fixed on Kalno and Fradali, who were standing on either side of Shimi on the stage.

Just because. Vladali took the wine glass from the waiter and raised it towards himself with a smile on his face.

Luo Mu knew very well that Vladali was definitely greeting him. Even the Flame Chicken Mask beside him noticed this and whispered a reminder: "He is not friendly. Be careful, Luo Mu."

Limone frowned under the mask. It was the first time he saw Vladali chasing so relentlessly. Could it be that Vladali already knew that Luo Mu had defeated Shimi before?
Luo Mu glanced at him. It seemed that as the secret superhero of Miare City, Limone knew something. He nodded and said, "I will."

The elegantly behaved Caroline and Fradali greeted the guests around them and received warm applause. As expected, the highlight of today's dinner began.

Shimi held up the microphone and looked at everyone: "Well, now it's time for the highlight of today. The name of this dinner is the battle dinner, so naturally there will be a Pokémon battle segment."

"Before opening the backstage to the guests for battle, the original plan was for Miss Karuna and I to have an exhibition match, but our representative from Fladari seemed to have some ideas of his own."

"Please allow Representative Fradali to speak."

Shimi handed the microphone to Vladali. After taking the microphone, Vladali's eyes went directly to Luo Mu.

At the moment when Vladali was testing his voice, Luo Mu sighed. This was now a real Hongmen Banquet.

What Flame Chicken Mask said was right, Vladali was really coming for him. He might have already learned his identity from Shimi.

However, Luo Mu did not blame Zhimi. He had good intentions in inviting Luo Mu, and he probably wanted to take this opportunity to give himself a set of super-evolution props.

Shimi was simply deceived by Vladali's disguise as a philanthropist and did not see him for who he really was, so Vladali took advantage of this accidental opportunity.

After the audition, Fradali looked around at everyone present, his voice steady and full of trustworthy magic: "Before the performance between Chef Shimi and Miss Karunori, I would like to introduce to you a distinguished guest who has come from afar."

As soon as Vladali finished speaking, everyone looked around.

"What is a distinguished guest from afar?"

"Anyone who deserves to be introduced by Representative Vladari must be of a very distinguished status."

The elegant Carol asked the people around her without leaving any trace: "Mr. Shimi, what's the situation now?"

Shimi's eyes were still wandering in the hall. Without turning back, he answered softly, "I went out to practice for a while before. Miss Karuna still remembers me?"

Carol nodded slightly.

After looking around, Zhimi's eyes fell on Luo Mu, who looked calm in the crowd: "During my training, I went to the Padiya region once, where I lost to a trainer."

Karen covered her lips, trying to hide her exclamation: "Mr. Shimi, did you lose?"

Shimi sighed, "Yes, and it was a defeat after a full-strength attack. My Mega Blastoise was defeated by that person's Fire-attribute Pokémon."

Karuna frowned slightly. How could such a thing happen? Could it be that the one who defeated Shimi was Miss Yeci, the top champion of the Padiya region?
No, the Padia region and the Kalos region are adjacent, and as far as she knows, there are no fire-type Pokémon among Miss Ye Ci's main Pokémon.

Karuna suddenly had an idea: "Could it be that, Mr. Shimi, you invited that person to this dinner?"

Zhimi nodded slightly and said nothing more, because Vladari's speech had entered the second stage. He looked honored and said, "Now, I would like to introduce to you this distinguished guest who has come all the way from the Padia region. He is a young and powerful man who has passed the test of Miss Yeci, the chief champion of the Padia region. He is a champion-level trainer with a status equivalent to that of the league champion - Mr. Luo Mu."

Vladali put his right hand on his chest and bowed towards Luo Mu in the audience. At the same time, the lights gathered on Luo Mu's side, causing the ladies and gentlemen around him to exclaim in surprise.

"At the same time, please forgive me for being so presumptuous. I, Vladali, would like to invite Mr. Luo Mu to have a one-on-one performance battle with me. As a bonus, I will offer this evolution key stone to you regardless of whether you win or lose."

Fradali raised his gloved right hand, and a round stone that seemed to be the most perfect natural creation in the world was exposed in the air.
