Gourmet master of the Pokemon world

After greeting Salt Rock Treasure, Nemo stood up again to greet An Jay.

"Hello, my name is Nemo."

An Jay nodded to her, "My name is An Jay."

Nemo looked at An Jay with sparkling eyes and said, "An Jay, are you a trainer? Would you like to have a fierce battle with me?"

An Jay smiled and shook his head, "Unfortunately, I'm just a chef, not a trainer."

At this time, Pepper said with a face full of admiration, "Although An Jay is not a trainer, his Pokémon are very powerful!"

Hearing this, Nemo became even more excited, "Please, you must battle me."

An Jay smiled wryly and patted Pepper, saying, "Don't go around promoting me like that!"

"OK! OK!" Nemo said repeatedly, as long as he was willing to battle her.

As she spoke, she quickly ran to the center of the lawn and waved to An Jay, saying, "Come on, right here."

An Jay nodded and walked to the other side of the lawn, standing opposite Nemo.

After taking out a Poké Ball, An Jay said, "Let's begin!"

Hearing this, Nemo also took out a Poké Ball.

Since Pepper said that An Jay was very strong, then she couldn't use the newly caught Frigibax.

As two beams of light flashed, two Pokémon appeared on the lawn. On An Jay's side was Metagross, and on Nemo's side was Goodra.

Seeing that An Jay's Pokémon was Metagross, Nemo became even more excited.

"Metagross! A very rare Pokémon."

An Jay said, "Your Goodra is too."

As he spoke, he began to use his Eye of Observation to look at the Goodra opposite him.

Goodra

Nemo is indeed the future champion. Although she is only this young, her Pokémon's level is already this high.

But is it too much for him to use Metagross? He doesn't know what Metagross's individual values are, but its level must be much higher than Goodra's.

But forget it, he can't let him use Frigibax and Espathra to fight, right! He definitely wouldn't be able to win.

Pepper: "The match begins."

As Pepper's voice fell, An Jay and Nemo simultaneously gave instructions to their Pokémon.

An Jay: "Metagross, use Agility to get close to Goodra, then use Ice Punch!"

Nemo: "Goodra, Dragon Pulse!"

Metagross's figure turned into an afterimage, quickly rushing towards Goodra, while Goodra opened its mouth and spewed out a dragon-shaped energy wave.

Having already used Agility, Metagross's speed became very fast. Dodging and maneuvering, it easily dodged Goodra's Dragon Pulse and arrived beside Goodra in the blink of an eye.

He saw cold air surging on Metagross's steel claws as it punched towards Goodra.

Seeing this, Nemo quickly shouted, "Goodra, Aqua Tail!"

As her voice fell, a layer of water flow wrapped around Goodra's thick tail, fiercely whipping towards Metagross.

The steel claw and dragon tail collided, and instantly Goodra's tail froze inch by inch. At the same time, it wailed and flew out, rolling a few times on the ground before its head tilted and it lost consciousness.

Nemo was stunned. She had lost just like that?

At this time, many students had already gathered around to watch.

"That Metagross is so powerful, it actually defeated Nemo's Goodra so easily."

"Who is that blond youth? Is he a new transfer student to our school?"

"I don't know, he seems to be with Pepper."

… …

An Jay quickly ran to Goodra's side with Metagross, took out rock salt and berries to feed it.

Nemo ran over and looked at An Jay with an excited expression, "You really are as powerful as Pepper said! Too… too amazing!"

An Jay said, "The Pokémon is amazing, it has nothing to do with me."

Hearing this, Nemo became even more excited, "This is the highest realm of a trainer, allowing Pokémon to understand how to become stronger on their own, how to fight on their own, isn't that so cool!"

An Jay: . . .

He quickly changed the subject, "Your Goodra has already eaten the berries to restore its strength, and the wounds have also been treated with the Salt Rock Titan's rock salt, it should be fine, but just in case, you should still take it to the Pokémon Center to take a look."

"I understand!"

As she spoke, Nemo used a Poké Ball to recall Goodra, and then rushed towards the Pokémon Center like a whirlwind, with an excited smile on her face, as if she had understood something.

After Nemo left, Pepper ran to An Jay's side and said, "An Jay, you are really too powerful, you even beat Nemo. Nemo is a very famous trainer in our school, and few students can beat her."

An Jay patted Metagross and said, "It's all Metagross's credit, you know, Metagross was already this powerful when I caught it, it has nothing to do with me."

Pepper said, "Doesn't that prove you're even more amazing? You were able to catch Metagross even though it's so powerful."

Although he said that, the point is, the Komala that defeated Metagross wasn't trained by him either! An Jay thought helplessly.

Forget it, forget it! It's not clear in a short time, let him show off this B for a while!

"In short, don't go around promoting me next time, I'm just an ordinary cook." An Jay said helplessly to Pepper.

Pepper: "Okay, I understand!"

Afterwards, the two left amidst the surprised and curious gazes of the Orange Academy students.

Passing through a corridor after another, An Jay and Pepper quickly arrived at the chairman's office and met the academy chairman, Clavell.

Seeing An Jay, Clavell said with a smile, "I just got the news that you defeated Nemo in a Pokémon battle!"

An Jay smiled and said, "Just lucky."

Clavell shook his head, "Winning is winning, there is no such thing as luck. I heard from Professor Sada that you are a chef with excellent cooking skills, I didn't expect you to be a powerful trainer as well."

Hearing this, An Jay waved his hands repeatedly, "No, no, no, you misunderstood, I am really just a simple chef, not a trainer."

"Then how do you explain that powerful Metagross?" Clavell asked.

An Jay: Don't ask too much about the chef's affairs.

Seeing that An Jay didn't speak, Clavell asked, "Mr. An Jay, I wonder if you are interested in joining our Paldea League? Our benefits are very good."

An Jay said, "Chairman Clavell, I am from the Azoth Kingdom, I can't…"

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Clavell.

"So what? No one stipulates that members of the Azoth royal family cannot join other leagues!"

As in the game, Iono here is also dedicated to discovering talent for the Paldea League.

An Jie shook his head and said, "Sorry…"

Iono looked regretful upon hearing this, "Oh, that's a pity. I thought you had the potential to become a champion!"

An Jie thought: Are you saying this to everyone you want to win over?

He said again, "I just want to be a good chef."

Iono: "Okay, if you're not willing, I won't force you."

An Jie breathed a sigh of relief, "I'll leave Nemona in your care, Iono. I have something to do, so I'll leave first."

Iono nodded, "Don't worry, I'll take good care of Nemona."

Then An Jie walked to Nemona and said, "Nemona, I'm leaving. I'll call you later."

Nemona: "Okay, goodbye, An Jie."

After saying goodbye to Nemona, An Jie left the Orange Academy.

Walking on the streets of Mesagoza, An Jie said to Smoliv, "There's still some time before boarding, what shall we do next?"

"Smoliv~ Smoliv~" Let's eat something delicious!

Smoliv poked its head out from behind An Jie.

An Jie tapped its little head, "You just ate so much, and you want to eat again?"

He pinched Smoliv's belly, "Are you getting fat?"

Smoliv quickly covered its belly and shook its head frantically, afraid that An Jie would cut its food.

"Smoliv~ Smoliv~ Smoliv~" No, no!

Suddenly, An Jie had an idea, "That's right! How about we go buy some ingredients?"

A metropolis like Mesagoza must have a lot of top-quality ingredients! As a chef, ingredients are a huge attraction to him.

No sooner said than done, An Jie took Smoliv straight to a large supermarket in Mesagoza.

As An Jie expected, there were many things in the Mesagoza supermarket that he couldn't buy in Azoth.

"Is this Salt Rock Herb's rock salt?" An Jie stared at the beautifully packaged bags of rock salt on the shelves.

The rock salt that had always been in short supply in Azoth was available in such abundance here!

But thinking about it, it seemed reasonable. Although rock salt was indeed rare, Paldea was, after all, its place of origin.

Because his family already had a Garganacl and Salt Rock Herb, An Jie went straight past the rock salt shelves.

When he saw the products on another shelf, An Jie couldn't wait to run over.

It was Capsakid teeth-ground chili powder!

Although An Jie's family also had Capsakid and Scovillain, their production was not as good as rock salt, so An Jie decided to stock up a bit.

He threw a dozen bags into the cart before stopping.

Before he had taken a few steps, he was attracted by something else.

"It's Dachsbun-produced yeast!"

An Jie quickly walked to a shelf and couldn't wait to take down a palm-sized bag.

"I have to buy this!"

His family steamed buns and mantou every day, and yeast was a must! Dachsbun-produced yeast couldn't be bought in Azoth.

An Jie threw the bags of yeast on the shelf into the cart, one bag, two bags, three bags… he threw a hundred bags before stopping, and the shelf was almost half empty.

"Isn't this a bit too much?" An Jie scratched his head, feeling a little embarrassed.

"Smoliv~ Smoliv~"

Smoliv jumped from An Jie's shoulder into the cart, holding a bag of yeast with a puzzled look.

An Jie said with a smile, "This is a necessary ingredient for making delicious food!"

As soon as it heard about delicious food, Smoliv quickly stuffed the yeast in its hand into the cart and even tiptoed to reach for the other ones on the shelf.

Seeing this, An Jie quickly stopped it, "Smoliv, that's enough, that's enough, we've already bought enough!"

Smoliv stopped when it heard this.

Then An Jie saw Oricorio oil, but his family had enough, so he didn't buy any. If it was an Arboliva, he would consider it.

Ingredients produced by these Pokémon were generally much more expensive than similar products.

For example, a small bag of Salt Rock Herb's rock salt sold for as much as 35 League Credits, while a bag of ordinary table salt only cost 2-5 League Credits. If it was rock salt produced by a Glimmora or Garganacl, the price would only be more expensive, and even in short supply.

For another example, a bag of Capsakid chili powder sold for 25 League Credits here, while ordinary chili powder only cost 3-10 League Credits.

Not to mention Oricorio oil, a 1L barrel sold for 780 League Credits, which was 5-6 times the price of ordinary cooking oil.

When passing by the fresh food section, An Jie saw Great Tusk meat again, but there was only a little left, so he bought it all.

Then he bought many high-quality meats such as pork, beef, and lamb. Anyway, they wouldn't spoil in the system backpack. He couldn't miss out on visiting a big city.

Although Azoth was not short of high-quality meat, and the royal family even had specially supplied meat, the types of meat produced in different regions were different, and the taste was also very different.

Seeing that he had bought almost everything, An Jie planned to leave to check out.

"Smoliv~ Smoliv~~" Smoliv lay on An Jie's shoulder, twisting happily.

An Jie asked with a smile, "In such a good mood?"

"Smoliv~ Smoliv~" Smoliv nodded repeatedly. An Jie bought a lot of ingredients, which meant he would make a lot of delicious food, so it was naturally in a good mood.

An Jie said, "You only know how to eat, you'll get so fat that you can't walk sooner or later!"

"Smoliv~~" Won't!

Smoliv said unconvinced.

Just as An Jie was pushing a cart full of ingredients to check out, a supermarket employee came over pushing a small cart, and there were many white eggs about the size of a human head in the cart.

An Jie said in surprise, "Those are… Chansey eggs?"

The staff member heard An Jie's voice and turned back with a smile, "Yes, they are."

"Can I buy them?" An Jie asked, rubbing his hands.

He had eaten Chansey eggs a few times when he was a prince, and he directly forgot the delicious taste.

At that time, there were no Chansey living in the Azoth Kingdom, and with inconvenient transportation, even as a member of the royal family, it was not easy to eat Chansey eggs.

Even today, with convenient transportation and advanced Pokémon breeding technology, Chansey were still very rare Pokémon, and their eggs could not be easily seen on the market.

He was really lucky today!

"Of course." The staff member replied, "You're very lucky, sir. You encountered them just as they were put on the shelves. It's a rare opportunity, so buy them quickly!"

An Jie stepped forward and said generously, "I'll take them all!"

Chansey eggs were very expensive, 800 League Credits each, simply the nobles of eggs.

But this was normal. Chansey eggs were not only rich in nutrients, but could also restore Pokémon's stamina and heal Pokémon's injuries.

The number of these newly launched eggs would definitely not exceed 50, so An Jie wanted to buy them all directly.

A chance like this won't come again!

The staff member said with a smile, "I'm sorry, sir, Chansey eggs have a purchase limit. Each person is only allowed to buy 5!"

"Ah?" An Jie looked disappointed.

His family had a lot of Pokémon and they could eat a lot, so five would only be enough to taste.
