The Real "Victory Road" Officially Begins!

Grrrrumble—

Across the Ever Grande Conference Venue, a chorus of stomachs rumbled in unison.

"This is too much! Way too much!"

"How is this Victory Road? This is obviously a picnic!"

"A picnic? What kind of picnic eats this well?!"

"Nope, I'm hungry. Get me a serving of Grilled Eel Rice!"

Today, the wandering vendors inside the Ever Grande Conference Venue were doing especially good business.

If Team Rocket's trio had seized this opportunity, they definitely could have made an outrageous amount of funding.

The reason for it all

was Jing He and his Pokémon, currently stuffing themselves on the big screen.

Even when challenging Victory Road, everyone else proceeded carefully. As for food, they kept it as simple as possible, minimizing unnecessary trouble.

But Teacher Jing He?

Ovens, refrigerators, induction cookers, grills, coffee machines—whether they needed electricity or not, he had everything.

He had even outrageously brought out a whole table, spread a picnic cloth over it, and filled it with all kinds of delicious food: Grilled Lamb Chops, braised pork ribs with potatoes, boiled fresh shrimp, Vegetable Tempura, golden fried pork chop...

Even through the screen, the audience seemed able to smell the rich fragrance.

Compared with Jing He's spread, the boxed meals in the audience's hands suddenly seemed far less appetizing.

No wonder every one of them looked so indignant.

Were they here to watch Teacher Jing He go on a picnic and enjoy himself?

They were here to watch Teacher Jing He get knocked down a peg!

The contrast between inside and outside the screen could not have been sharper.

Meanwhile, Jing He, within Victory Road,

had eaten and drunk his fill before continuing onward.

Snivy had evolved into Servine, and its energy expenditure had increased somewhat, so Jing He let it rest in
