Chapter 615

Under the terrified expressions of everyone led by Flint, Su Hao took the tissue handed to him by Lola, who was happily doing a tap dance, wiped his mouth, and said calmly with his eyes closed: "Thank you for the meal."

At the same time, his hand under the table was constantly flashing with green light.

Hearing this, Flint jumped out with his eight children, surrounded the dining table, and muttered to himself: "Could it be that Lola improved the taste in just one night!?"

"In other words, it just looks bad now, but the taste is guaranteed!?" Saburo, Shiro, and Goro cheered following Flint's muttering.

Mutsu, Nana, Yaki, Kuro, and Toko also cheered and surrounded Lola, asking for tableware.

"Mom, I'm hungry!"

"Mom, tableware!"

"Ara ara, Mom's cooking is so popular, I'm so happy~"

Lola covered her face, her cheeks flushed, looking very happy.

After distributing the tableware, Lola rested her chin on the table and smiled: "Everyone hasn't eaten since last night, hurry up and eat~ If it's not enough, Mom can make you more~"

"Okay! I'm starting!"

The uniform pre-meal phrase rang out, and Flint and the eight children picked up their soup spoons to scoop up the food and ate it at the same time!

Thump—

Flint and the eight children collapsed at the same time!

At this moment, Su Hao, who had almost used up his Viridian Force to heal himself, opened his eyes and looked at the nine people who had collapsed, as well as Lola, who was frightened.

"Ugh... hurry and call an ambulance!"

Flint, who barely retained a trace of consciousness, stretched out his right arm, pointed his finger forward, and then fainted.

"The test results are out. Madam, multiple types of toxins were detected in your food. May I ask where your ingredients came from...?"

The doctor in the white coat and mask had never seen such a scene; the whole family, except for the wife and the eldest son, had been hospitalized due to food poisoning...

"This... the mushroom soup made at noon today, the ingredients were... the beautiful colorful mushrooms that grew in the cracks of the rocks in the gym."

Lola poked her fingers, looking like she was about to cry the next moment.

"You... please don't use these unknown ingredients in the future. It's fortunate that it was just a mixture of multiple toxins plus hallucinations; it can be cured." The doctor in the white coat shook his head helplessly.

"However, including the patient named Forrest who was sent in yesterday, someone must take care of their current situation. Will you do it? Or will your eldest son do it?"

The doctor pointed at Lola, then at Su Hao.

Su "Eldest Son" Hao: "?"

When did I become Brock? How come I don't know?

"Wuwu, it's no problem for me to come... but, the Kanto League Pokémon Inspection Bureau's inspector is coming to assess the gym today... if that happens, we will lose by default."

Lola's eyes were filled with tears; she didn't expect the Pewter Gym to be forced to close because of her.

"... How about, I help?"

Su Hao was silent for a moment, thinking that it was because of him that Flint and the children thought Lola's cooking was edible and collapsed.

Since that was the case... then he would take care of Flint and the others, and let Lola deal with the League's assessment.

Su Hao remembered that although Lola looked unreliable, she actually had quite a few Pokémon.

Marill, Blastoise, Mantine, Gyarados, Vaporeon, Poliwag, Slowpoke, Tentacruel.

As for the inspector from the Pokémon Inspection Bureau, as long as it wasn't that Nurse Joy who had the legendary Latias, Lola should be able to handle it.

But Lola seemed to have misunderstood, thinking that Su Hao wanted to help her deal with the gym assessment.

"Eh, Mr. Su Hao, are you also a Trainer? Please, you must help! Whether the Pewter Gym can survive depends on you!"

Lola grabbed Su Hao's hands and begged him sincerely.

She remembered that in the car taking her husband to the hospital, Flint had said one sentence: "That guest has the aura of a strong person; you can try to ask him to help deal with the assessment."

"But... doesn't it have to be the Gym Leader or the acting Gym Leader to accept the assessment?"

Su Hao waved his hand helplessly; he could handle the assessment or take care of Flint and the others.

The main thing was that, according to the anime, the inspector should recognize people; it was impossible for just any random person or outside help to easily replace the Gym Leader to accept the assessment.

"Ah, that doesn't matter. It just so happens that because Forrest collapsed, the acting Gym Leader of Pewter Gym hasn't been confirmed yet."

Lola took out her phone and moved it closer for Su Hao to see.

She emphasized: "As long as you agree, you will be the acting Gym Leader of Pewter Gym in the next second!"

"... Alright then."

After being silent for a while, thinking that he was here to experience the trial, Su Hao chose to face the challenge positively.

Just like how he ate that bowl of dark cuisine without saying a word.
