Gourmet master of the Pokemon world

The reward the system had just given was most worthwhile to use on the Pokémon with the lowest Individual Values (IVs). Ange had already received it once before.

He looked at the data of his disciples and several Pokémon one by one. He couldn't see the IVs of Snorlax and Metagross, and Diancie's IVs were already maxed out.

The remaining ones were Munchlax, Drizzile, Haunter, and Pawmi.

Among these four Pokémon, except for Munchlax, all the IVs of the other three were above 20 points, which meant using this reward was not cost-effective at all.

Only Munchlax's Special Defense IV was the lowest, with only 10 points, so using the reward on it was the most worthwhile.

Without much thought, Ange opened Munchlax's panel and used the reward on its Special Defense.

Munchlax's current data is as follows:

Munchlax (Eviolite)

With the power of the Sun Stone, it successfully evolved into Heliolisk.

Ange took the initiative to greet the two Pokémon, "Good afternoon, Minccino, Heliolisk."

"Mino~ Mino~"

"Heli~ Heli~"

The two Pokémon also greeted Ange at the same time.

After Ange left, Heliolisk asked Minccino, "Heli~ Heli~" Ange seems to be in a very good mood. Did something good happen today?

"Mino~ Mino~"

Minccino shook its head.

Forget it, it's a good thing that Ange is in a good mood! The two Pokémon thought at the same time.

Immediately, the two Pokémon imitated Ange, singing and cleaning at the same time, and cheerful sounds echoed in the Secret Base's first floor.

When Ange returned home, Munchlax and the others were almost done preparing lunch, and bursts of fragrance wafted from the kitchen.

Ange walked into the kitchen, took out the large jar of Doubanjiang, and then took out small jars, and then divided the Doubanjiang into small jars.

After dividing it, he put some into the system backpack, and the other part into the refrigerator in the kitchen for storage. Finally, he put a jar on the stove and said to Munchlax, who was cooking:

"Munchlax, use this Doubanjiang to make your favorite braised fish, let's have braised fish for lunch."

"Mun~ Mun~" I love braised fish!

Munchlax's eyes lit up when he heard that.

"Ghos~ Ghos~"

Haunter immediately took out a cleaned grass carp from the refrigerator and flew over.

This grass carp was a wild fish caught by Poliwag in Lake Nibel before.

After handing the fish to Munchlax, Haunter took over the half-cooked dish from Munchlax and continued cooking, freeing up Munchlax's hands to make braised fish.

"Mun~ Mun~"

Munchlax squinted and patted its junior sister, expressing its gratitude. Then, carrying the fish, it came to the cutting board and neatly cut a few knives on both sides of the grass carp to facilitate braising.

After putting the processed fish aside, it took out the seasonings needed for braised fish, ginger, garlic, green onion, cooking wine, rock salt, white sugar, oyster sauce, starch, etc.

Then marinate the fish with cooking wine and rock salt.

After marinating the fish, Munchlax chopped the ginger, green onion, and garlic, then poured oil into the pot and heated it, and then put the marinated fish into the pot and fry it over low heat.

Gently flip it during the frying process to ensure that both sides are fried until golden brown.

The next step is to put the chopped green onion, ginger, and garlic into the pot, pour in cooking wine, rock salt, white sugar, oyster sauce, and the Doubanjiang that the master just gave it.

The sizzling sound and the rich aroma spread in the kitchen.

Finally, add water, then cover the pot and simmer over low heat to allow the fish to fully absorb the soup.

Glug glug~ ~ ~

The fish soup in the pot was tumbling, and the rich aroma floated out with the steam. Munchlax kept sniffing its nose.

Why is today's braised fish so fragrant?

Ange stood quietly at the kitchen door, watching Munchlax skillfully make a pot of braised fish with a smile on his face, and pride arose in his heart.

This is the disciple I taught!

At this time, Drizzile and Haunter also looked over because of the aroma of the braised fish.

"Drizzi~ Drizzi~" Today's braised fish seems to be different.

Drizzile couldn't help but say.

"Ghos~ Ghos~"

Haunter nodded in agreement.

Ange smiled and pointed to the Doubanjiang on the stove, "The difference in the braised fish is all because of this jar of Doubanjiang."

All three disciples looked at the Doubanjiang in surprise.

Ange continued, "You will be able to experience its benefits when you eat it."

Hearing Ange say this, the three Pokémon couldn't help but show anticipation.

At this time, Pawmi appeared at the kitchen door, hugged Ange's calf and looked into the kitchen.

"Pawi~ Pawi~" What are we eating today? It smells so good!

Diancie, with two Surskit in her pocket, also walked over, holding a half-knitted pillowcase in her hand, "Today's lunch seems to be particularly fragrant! Am I lucky enough to have a good meal?"

The two little Surskit poked their heads out of their backpacks and waved their yellow little claws to agree with Diancie's words.

"You are indeed lucky enough to have a good meal today!" Ange said with a smile.

Soon, all the soup of the braised fish was absorbed by the fish, and Munchlax neatly took it out of the pot, and then added a thickening sauce to the plate, and the aroma suddenly became more intense.

Pawmi stared straight at the plate in Munchlax's hand, constantly swallowing saliva.

After the braised fish was made, the lunch was almost ready. Ange and Diancie helped to put the dishes on the table together. Then, a family of eight (plus Diancie's two Surskit) sat around a table and started eating.

Cough cough~ ~

Pawmi stretched its head and sniffed for a while, and then couldn't wait to stretch out its chopsticks, but Ange slapped it away.

He said with a straight face, "Pawmi, how many times have I told you, when everyone eats together, pay attention to table manners."

Ange didn't have any requirements for the other Pokémon's eating habits, but he would remind Pawmi every time, because it was too impatient, and it often stole food.

Pawmi held its chopsticks, pouting, with a look of grievance.

"Pawi~" I know!

Ange withdrew his gaze from it, and then said with a smile, "Today's lunch was made by Munchlax, Drizzile, and Haunter. Thank you for your hard work."

Diancie: "Thank you for your hard work!"

Metagross: "Meta~" Thank you for your hard work!

Diancie and Metagross also said to the three Pokémon in unison.

"Mun~" Munchlax scratched its head shyly.

"Drizzi~" You're welcome, I'm the best!

Drizzile winked at everyone and gave himself a thumbs up.

"Ghos~ Ghos~" Haunter looked shy, but its eyes revealed joy. Every time it ate with everyone like this, it could deeply feel that it was a member of this family.

"Then let's start!"

As Ange's voice fell, everyone couldn't wait to pick up their chopsticks.

The magical thing was that everyone's (Pokémon's) chopsticks reached for the plate containing the braised fish at the first time.

Everyone looked at me, I looked at you, and suddenly laughed together.

Ange said, "It seems that we have a telepathic connection."

Pawmi finally got to eat the braised fish as it wished. The moment the fish entered its mouth, its delicate and smooth taste and the rich sauce aroma blended together, and the taste woven out was like a symphony playing in its mouth.

Forgive Pawmi, this little foodie, for not being able to describe this deliciousness in words.

It was so delicious!

And after the braised fish entered its stomach, it could feel a strange power slowly wandering in its body, that feeling was like... Ange giving its sore body a massage after running in the morning.

Comfortable!

The other Pokémon also showed the same enjoyable expressions as Pawmi, including Ange.

"Is it delicious?" Ange asked everyone with a smile.

The Pokémon nodded.

Ange: "It's good if it's delicious. It's not in vain that I waited for more than a month to make this Doubanjiang."

In the end, the plate of braised fish was eaten completely, and even the soup was eaten by Munchlax with rice.

After lunch, Diancie sat in the doorway, basking in the sun while continuing to knit the unfinished pillowcase, with two Dewpider quietly perched beside her.

Metagross returned to its room to prepare lessons for the students, yet it still managed to multitask, controlling Robert 2.0 to do housework, clearing dishes, wiping tables, sweeping… capable of everything.

With Robert 2.0 around, Diancie's daily life was much easier.

Komala went out immediately after finishing its meal, and no one knew where it had run off to.

The playful Budew ran to the prairie, frolicking everywhere.

Meanwhile, Anjie took his three apprentices, Snorlax, Drizzile, and Gengar, to the lakeside, with Snorlax and Drizzile each carrying a bamboo basket on their backs.

They were there to pick waterside herbs to make fish food.

After so much time, the waterside herb seeds that Diancie and Drizzile had scattered earlier had long grown lush and verdant by the lake, a delightful sight to behold.

Today was their first time harvesting them.

Snorlax and Drizzile put the bamboo baskets on the ground and immediately began picking.

Anjie reminded them, "Just pick the tender leaves, don't pick the old ones." As he spoke, he also bent down to pick.

The roots of the waterside herbs grew in the water, covered with white root hairs, which they used to draw nutrients from the water.

The newly grown tips at the top of the plant were very tender, and that was the part Anjie and the others were going to pick.

"Gronk ~"

"Jiemei ~"

Snorlax and Drizzile responded to Anjie as they picked.

Gengar flew above the lake, its eyes emitting a ghostly blue light. In an instant, a patch of waterside herb tips was plucked, with remarkable efficiency.

Seeing this, Anjie praised it, "Gengar, amazing!"

"Jiemei ~ Jiemei ~" Junior sister, handsome!

Drizzile also looked up at Gengar and gave it a thumbs-up in praise.

"Goth ~ Goth ~"

Gengar smiled shyly, and its picking became even faster.

"Wooper ~ Wooper ~"

As the four of them picked, suddenly two small heads emerged from the waterside herb bushes, rolling around in the grass while greeting Anjie and the others.

"Oh, it's Wooper!" Anjie responded with a smile to the two Pokémon, "Thank you for taking care of the waterside herbs!"

Waterside herbs need to grow in very high-quality water sources. Although Lake Nibel's water quality was already very good, Anjie still asked Wooper to take care of them, just in case.

Sure enough, after the Wooper took care of them for a while, the waterside herbs grew more vigorously.

Wooper and their evolved form, Quagsire, have the ability to purify water. The water where they have been is very clear, some even reaching the level of direct drinking.

"Wooper ~"

"Wooper ~"

Two Wooper lay on the waterside herbs, their tails rapidly slapping the water surface. Then, each holding a tender tip of waterside herb in their mouths, they quickly ran to Anjie's side and placed the tender tips in Anjie's palm.

"Do you want to help pick too?" Anjie asked with a smile.

"Wooper ~"

"Wooper ~"

The two Wooper nodded with smiling faces, then turned and darted to a place slightly further from the lakeshore to continue picking. They were small and light, able to freely step on the waterside herbs to reach further places.

As time passed, the parts near the shore were picked clean, and Drizzile jumped into the water to swim further away to pick, with the two Wooper following closely behind.

Gengar could fly, so it could go wherever it wanted to pick, unrestricted, leaving only Anjie and Snorlax standing on the shore, watching helplessly.

Seeing Drizzile and Wooper picking so diligently, Snorlax immediately wanted to jump into the water, but Anjie quickly stopped it.

"Don't!"

"Gronk?"

Snorlax looked puzzled.

Anjie smiled and said, "Let them pick. We'll just wait. Anyway, there's not much left. If you jump into the water and get soaked, it won't be easy to dry off."

"Gronk ~"

Snorlax smiled憨ly, scratching its head while agreeing.

The master and apprentice no longer needed to pick, so they stayed on the shore to sort out the waterside herbs that Gengar and the others had picked and put them into the baskets.

As time passed, evening gradually approached. Seeing that they had picked almost enough, Anjie called out to the distance:

"Okay, Gengar, Wooper, Drizzile, let's go home!"

"Goth ~"

"Wooper ~"

"Wooper ~"

"Jiemei ~"

The four Pokémon responded to Anjie. Gengar flashed and returned to the shore in the blink of an eye. Drizzile plunged into the water and quickly swam from underwater to the shore, while the two Wooper stepped with light steps, running on the waterside herbs to the shore.

Anjie and Snorlax each carried a basket on their backs, and then led the Pokémon home in the sunset.

The Pokémon, busy all day, were now also starting to finish work.

The Vivillon flew out from the orchard, flying home in the sunset. Below, Chesnaught led Chespin, Victreebel, and Bellsprout, chatting and laughing. No one knew what interesting things they were talking about, but the Bellsprout were waving their vines and laughing heartily.

On the fishery side, Politoed led Poliwag, Poliwhirl, Poliwrath, Marill, and Azurill one after another into the water, and then entered the fifth level of the secret fortress through the underwater pipeline.

Sliding all the way down with the current, they screamed and splashed into the pool on the fifth level. Then, the happy chatter of the Poliwag came from the fifth level. They climbed onto the shore while talking and laughing, gently shaking off the water droplets on their bodies.

By the lake, Krookodile drove several white, fat pigs, already quite large, out of the water, yelling behind them to drive them back to the pigpen.

The feral fat pigs were not so obedient. Krookodile told them to go east, but they insisted on going west. Annoyed, Krookodile opened its mouth and spat out a stream of water next to the fat pigs, blasting a pit in the ground. This time, the fat pigs finally became obedient, obediently being sent into the pigpen by Krookodile.

Sawsbuck and Bunnelby were one in front and one behind, with their flock of chickens in the middle.

Unlike the fluffy chicks when they were first raised, the chickens now had full wings and had learned to flap their wings and jump up and down. With the slightest movement, they would run around.

In the past, this group of chickens did bring a lot of trouble to Sawsbuck and Bunnelby, but after dealing with them for a long time, Sawsbuck had its own set of methods to deal with them.

Now, a few more chickens were being disobedient, their eyeballs rolling around, not knowing what bad ideas they had.

At this time, the flower on Sawsbuck's head suddenly emitted bursts of fragrance. After smelling the fragrance, the chickens seemed to be drunk, dizzy and following behind Sawsbuck, obedient to the extreme.

Sawsbuck's trick was the aromatherapy it had just learned not long ago.

A little hen following behind the chickens was even too immersed in the fragrance and forgot to walk. At this time, Bunnelby stepped forward and slapped it, and it dazedly caught up with the main force.

Under the attraction of aromatherapy, the chickens successfully entered the chicken coop.

As soon as the chickens returned, Pachirisu and Buneary also came back one after another.

Pachirisu stood on the head of a sheep, with its head held high and its chest out, its big tail swaying, like a triumphant general. The sheep was so obedient in front of it.

It had been electrocuted too many times.

"Pachi ~"

It waved its hand forward and gave an order, and several sheep obediently entered the sheepfold.

After the sheep entered the fold, Pachirisu leaped and jumped from the sheep's head to the railing, posing in a cool pose, extremely proud.

"Hooru!"

Bunnelby immediately applauded enthusiastically.

"Yoo!"

Sawsbuck also jumped and cheered for it.

Pachirisu became even more proud, sticking its chest out higher, walking back and forth on the railing, showing off its style.

Unfortunately, it suddenly missed its footing and fell from the railing, falling to the ground with a faceplant.

Bunnelby's applause came to an abrupt halt.

Sawsbuck's cheers also suddenly stopped.

Bunnelby and Sawsbuck looked at Pachirisu, Pachirisu looked up at Bunnelby and Sawsbuck with mud in its mouth, and the three Pokémon showed embarrassment at the same time.

Coincidentally, Buneary came back riding on the back of a Tauros, looking at the three Pokémon with confusion.

"Miru ~" What are you doing?

Pachirisu quickly got up from the ground and ran away in a puff of smoke.

"Pachi ~" Nothing!!!

Its voice came from a distance.

Buneary didn't ask much and drove the two Tauros, which had grown a lot, into the cowshed.

It had finally learned Electric-type skills from Pachirisu, and now the two Tauros were so obedient in front of it.
