Gourmet master of the Pokemon world

After the oil was hot, he added butter and melted it.

Then, he added the prepared ginger, garlic cloves, scallion knots, fermented bean paste, chili seasonings, and other ingredients to sauté until fragrant.

After doing all this, An Jie instructed the Crybaby Charcadet: "Charcadet, use low heat."

"Chirp! Chirp!"

The Crybaby Charcadet nodded, and the flames on its body gradually became smaller.

Because it needed to simmer on low heat for more than an hour, An Jie turned around and began to busy himself making the tomato clear soup base.

He took out the tomatoes grown in his own vegetable garden, washed them, peeled them, and then cut them into small pieces for later use.

An Jie instructed the Good Boy Charcadet to heat another wok, add oil from Olivenna and heat it, then add the chopped green onion, ginger, and garlic to stir-fry until fragrant.

After that, he put the chopped tomatoes into it and stir-fried them until they produced juice and softened, and finally added clear water.

"Charcadet, turn to low heat."

"Chirp!" Got it.

Following An Jie's instructions, the flames surging on the Good Boy Charcadet's body began to subside, changing from high heat to low heat.

Glug glug ~ ~

In the two pots, one red and one clear, the two kinds of soup bases kept tumbling, and a richer and richer aroma permeated the air.

Perrin, who was sleeping, unconsciously twitched his nose, and then slowly opened his eyes.

"It smells so good!" he said, but as soon as he finished speaking, he sneezed from the choking smell. There was no way around it, the spicy chili seasoning was just too powerful.

Seeing An Jie busy, Perrin said in surprise: "Brother An Jie, you're back!"

An Jie turned his head, "Yes, I'm making something delicious for you guys."

Perrin quickly got up from the grass and trotted to An Jie's side, "What are we having for dinner tonight?"

"Hot pot, a kind of delicacy you've never eaten before," An Jie replied, "Stay away, there's hot oil and hot pots here, be careful not to get burned."

Perrin nodded and obediently retreated to the side, watching An Jie busy with his eyes fixed on him.

When the two professors and researchers came out, they saw a round table with a hot pot bubbling in the middle. The pot was divided into two halves, one half was a fiery red, and the other half was a light red, with aroma and heat emanating from the pot.

Various raw ingredients were placed around the hot pot.

An Jie prepared two tables in total, one for the professors and researchers, and one for the Pokémon. The Pokémon's table was several times larger than the professors' table, and the pot was also several times larger.

There was no way around it, the Pokémon not only had Snorunt, the big eater, but also Greedent, the glutton!

The Pokémon's table was directly covered with a tablecloth on the grass, which was more convenient for the Pokémon. Otherwise, it would be too difficult for Metagross to eat at the table.

Seeing the professors and researchers come out, An Jie quickly greeted them: "Everyone, come and sit down, dinner is ready."

The two professors and researchers walked to the table, looking at the full table with curiosity.

Professor Sada asked: "What kind of eating method is this? Isn't it all raw?"

So An Jie introduced the eating method of hot pot to the professors.

"I didn't expect there to be such a novel way of eating," Professor Turo mused, as he sat down.

Meanwhile, the Pokémon had already started eating.

The Crybaby Charcadet put a few small green vegetables into each of the two soup bases. Soon, the green vegetables were cooked, and it tasted the clear soup first.

Delicious! The Crybaby Charcadet's eyes lit up.

Then, it couldn't wait to eat the green vegetables in the red soup. The moment the green vegetables entered its mouth, the spiciness completely ignited its taste buds. It seemed to feel a heat wave blowing towards its face, and even the fire-type energy in its body became active.

"Chirp!!!" So delicious!

The Crybaby Charcadet couldn't help but raise its head and spew a burst of sparks into the sky.

Its good friend, the Good Boy Charcadet, had the same reaction. As fire-type Pokémon, they were fond of the spicy red soup hot pot.

Relatively speaking, Diancie, Sliggoo, Metagross, and Espathra preferred the clear soup hot pot.

While Snorunt, Greedent, and the two Lechonk liked both flavors.

Greedent fished out a piece of tofu from the red soup pot and couldn't wait to put it in its mouth. The scalding tofu and spicy taste stimulated it to run to the grass on the side, running and shouting.

"Gree~ Gree~ Gree~~" So hot! So spicy!

After running, it put another piece of tofu in its mouth with red lips.

"Hiss~ Hiss~"

Snorunt was also so spicy that it kept sticking out its tongue, panting and gasping, its lips were already red and swollen, but it was still stuffing all kinds of food into its mouth quickly.

When it was too spicy, it would eat a few bites of the clear soup to relieve it.

Metagross, as a newly joined Pokémon, found it very novel to see everyone eating.

So this is what it's like to have a trainer.

The Espathra on the side quickly nudged it with its wings.

"Espa~ Espa~" Eat quickly, or it will be gone later.

Only then did Metagross use its superpower to control the food and put it in its mouth. With just one bite, it was amazed.

Is this human food? It's so delicious!

It wasn't until a long time later that Metagross realized that not all humans could make such delicious food like An Jie.

The Pokémon were eating enthusiastically, and the professors were infected and quickly sat down to eat.

Koraidon was held in An Jie's arms alone. He specially put two pairs of chopsticks in front of him, and when he ate, he did not forget to feed Koraidon.

In addition, An Jie also prepared a few cans of beer for Koraidon. Koraidon needed An Jie to feed him when eating, but he didn't need it when drinking. He just held the beer can and took a sip from time to time.

Eating hot pot while drinking beer is simply awesome!

Professor Sada said with a smile: "An Jie, your Koraidon is really interesting, it actually likes to drink!"

An Jie said: "Everyone has a little hobby."

Professor Sada: "That's true."

Professor Turo said while gasping from the spiciness: "An Jie, I didn't expect you to successfully capture Metagross. It seems that you are a very powerful trainer!"

An Jie waved his hands repeatedly and said: "What kind of trainer am I? I'm just an ordinary chef. The Pokémon are just powerful themselves."

Professor Sada smiled and said: "You are really modest. Metagross is one of the top Pokémon in Area Zero. Not everyone can handle it."

An Jie: I'm really not being modest.

After dinner, Professor Sada said to An Jie: "An Jie, leave Metagross here tonight. Turo and I will stay up late to help you modify Robert No. 1."

An Jie said gratefully: "Thank you, professors."

Professor Turo waved his hand and said: "It's a small matter. After eating so much of your food, I'd feel bad if I didn't repay you."

Professor Sada said: "Yes! And thank you for taking care of Perrin for us these past few days."

"Anyway, thank you both, professors."

If the professor hadn't given him a pass to freely move around in Area Zero, he wouldn't have been able to befriend so many partners like Frigibax, Orthworm, Salandite, Garganacl, Armarouge, Capsakid, Charcadet, Greavard, Espathra, and Metagross.

After resting for a while, the professor and the researchers returned to the lab, taking the Poké Ball containing Metagross with them.

Ange, Penny, Arven, and the Pokémon worked together to clean up the tables, chairs, and dishes, then sent Diancie and the others back home before returning to their respective rooms to sleep.

Before going to bed, Ange said to Greavard, Espathra, and the two Lechonk, "Come on, let me give you all a good pat."

The system allowed him to feel the aura within Pokémon, so his own Pokémon should count as well, right?

"Greav!" I'm first!

Greavard responded and jumped directly into Ange's arms.

Ange hugged Greavard's fluffy, soft, chubby body, carefully sensing the aura it emitted.

The aura within Greavard was exceptionally active, like dancing notes, full of vitality, but also very weak.

Releasing Greavard, Ange then sensed the auras of Lechonk and Espathra one by one. Each of them was different, and the more auras Ange came into contact with, the more he found it magical.

Finally, it was Komala's turn.

Previously, Ange couldn't truly understand how powerful Komala was, but after sensing its aura, he finally understood completely.

If the aura emitted by Greavard was a small puddle, then the aura emitted by Komala was a vast river!

It was hard to imagine that such a small body of Komala contained such terrifying power!

Pokémon were truly amazing.

Moreover, such a powerful Pokémon was willing to follow him and had been helping and protecting him all along, which Ange found a bit incredible.

"Thank you, Komala," Ange said softly to Komala.

Komala didn't seem to hear, and a small bubble of snot popped.

After sensing the auras of several Pokémon, Ange opened the system and saw several tasks displayed in the taskbar.

[Daily Task 1] Train in the Culinary Training Room for 1 hour — Pending Completion.

[Daily Task 2] Host 10 Pokémon — Completed, Reward Pending Collection.

[Aura Training Task] Contact 1000 Pokémon and sense the aura within them (34 / 1000) — Pending Completion.

[Temporary Task] Request Professor Sada and Professor Turo to modify Robot No. 1 — Pending Completion.

After casually collecting the reward for [Daily Task 2], Ange said to the Pokémon, "Let's go to sleep, everyone, good night."

Espathra: "Hissru~" Good night, Ange.

Male Lechonk: "Oink oink~" Good night.

Female Lechonk: "Oink oink~" Sleep, sleep.

Greavard: "Greav~" Time to sleep.

Seeing that the Pokémon were all asleep, Ange hugged Komala, burrowed into the quilt, and soon fell into a dream.

After Ange turned off the lights, Greavard, who had been closing his eyes, suddenly opened them again. He quietly lifted his little blanket, picked up his little pillow, and crept to Ange's bedside in the dark. After climbing onto the bed along the bed leg, he lifted the corner of Ange's quilt and slipped inside.

The next morning, Ange, who was asleep, felt a very heavy weight on his chest, making it almost impossible for him to breathe. He suddenly opened his eyes.

"What's going on?"

Even though he had woken up, the heaviness on his chest still hadn't disappeared. He lifted the quilt and saw that Greavard had somehow crawled into his bed and was now sleeping soundly on his chest, drool soaking his clothes.

"Greavard!" Ange called out.

"Greav~ Greav~~"

Greavard smacked his lips twice, rolled over, changed from lying on his stomach to lying on his back, and continued to sleep soundly.

"Seriously!"

Ange helplessly picked him up and put him aside, re-covered him with the quilt, and got up to wash up.

A new day had begun.

At breakfast, Ange inquired about the modification of Robot No. 1 from the two professors. Professor Sada smiled and said, "You can see the results when you come back at noon."

So after breakfast, Ange went out with Arven, full of anticipation.

The task of befriending Pokémon had been completed, and what Ange had to do now was the aura training task.

He spent the whole morning wandering around the upper levels with Arven, using delicious food to lure various Pokémon so he could touch... no, sense their auras.

In the grassland, Ange became friends with Raichu and Jumpluff; by the water, he got to know Vaporeon, Psyduck, and Floatzel; in the rocky area, he came into contact with Gogoat and Copperajah; while exploring the cave, he gained the approval of Salazzle.

As noon approached, Ange returned to the observation station with Arven and the Pokémon. From afar, he saw Metagross floating in the air above the grass at the entrance, and below Metagross stood a robot, which was Robot No. 1.

The modification was complete? Ange was overjoyed.

"Metagross!" Ange waved and greeted Metagross.

"Meta~"

Upon seeing this, Metagross flew towards Ange, and at the same time, Robot No. 1 below also moved towards Ange.

"Master!"

Robot No. 1 actually spoke, and the language was very fluent, but the tone had a strong mechanical feel.

Compared to before the modification, its appearance hadn't changed much, but its eyes were different.

Of course, although the appearance hadn't changed much, the inside was very different from before.

"Robot No. 1, you..."

"Master, I am Metagross!" Robot No. 1 said at this time.

"Metagross?" Ange exclaimed in surprise, and at the same time looked at Metagross.

Metagross nodded at him, and at the same time Robot No. 1 said, "That's right, it's me!"

Ange vaguely understood something, and he asked Metagross, "The professors connected your mind to Robot No. 1?"

Metagross controlled Robot No. 1 to answer, "Yes!"

Then Metagross explained to Ange the principle of the professors' modification of Robot No. 1.

The two professors installed a computer inside Robot No. 1 that could connect to the internet, and at the same time used a set of sensing technology to connect Metagross's brain to the computer.

This meant that the computer had artificial intelligence that could think and act independently, and Metagross could also learn knowledge through the internet, thereby helping Ange complete various tasks.

As he spoke, Metagross also showed Ange the sensing device that the professors had installed on him.

They were two circular buttons the size of fingernails, tightly attached to both sides of Metagross's forehead. If you didn't look carefully, you wouldn't be able to find them at all.

Ange was very satisfied with the professor's modification.

After listening to Metagross's explanation, Ange said to him, "Metagross, you can call me Ange, no need to call me Master, we are partners."

Metagross was stunned for a moment, and then controlled Robot No. 1 to say, "Okay, Ange."

Ange then said, "Since Robot No. 1 has been modified, then from now on, let's call him Robot No. 2!"
