Gourmet master of the Pokemon world

After breakfast, the Litwick didn't leave immediately. Instead, they stayed to help Anjie clean up, knowing they were showing their concern in this way, so Anjie didn't refuse.

However, after the cleaning was done, he still sent everyone off with Diancie and Snorlax.

While Anjie was leisurely spending his days on the Nibel Plateau, the King of Azoth was bringing his daughter and son to the royal mausoleum to pay respects to their ancestors.

The Azoth royal family would regularly hold ceremonies at the royal mausoleum every year and placed great importance on the ritual.

The King of Azoth stood at the very front, with his son and daughter, the kingdom's only prince and princess, standing on either side of him.

After offering sacrifices at the royal mausoleum, a guard suddenly came to the king's side and whispered something in his ear. The king's expression changed drastically after hearing it.

"Go, let's go take a look."

With that, he had someone lead the way.

"Sister, what happened?" Prince Riker asked his sister in a low voice.

"I don't know, let's go take a look." Princess Gemia shook her head. "Something big must have happened." With that, she strode after her father.

"Sister, wait for me." Riker quickly followed.

Led by a guard, the King of Azoth arrived in front of a tomb, only to see a large hole broken in the wall of the tomb.

"This is…" The King of Azoth frowned.

The guard stepped forward and replied, "Your Majesty, this is the tomb of Prince Anjie."

"Prince Anjie?"

"Queen Anna's brother," the guard reminded him.

"What!!!" The king exclaimed, immediately glaring at the large hole in the tomb and roaring, "Who did this!!!"

The guard said helplessly, "Perhaps it was a tomb robber."

"Which tomb robber ate the courage of a leopard, daring to rob even our Azoth Kingdom's royal tomb? Did they eat the guts of an Ursaring? Investigate! If I catch the person, I'll kill them!"

Why is that?

Because although the current king is still nominally called the king, the power he holds is only equivalent to that of a mayor in the league.

Although the Azoth Kingdom still exists in the form of a kingdom, it is essentially only equivalent to a city under the jurisdiction of the league, and the land area cannot be compared with that of Queen Anna five hundred years ago.

Of course, compared to other regions of the league, the royal family has more privileges in Azoth, and the land of Azoth completely belongs to the Azoth royal family.

Five hundred years ago, the league became the new administrator of the entire Pokémon world. Logically speaking, old-era products like the Azoth Kingdom should have disappeared into the long river of history.

However, Queen Anna single-handedly saved the Azoth Kingdom from the hands of the league. Although she sacrificed most of the benefits, she at least prevented the Azoth royal family from disappearing into the long river of history like other nobles of the old era.

The one sitting on the throne of the Azoth Kingdom today is a descendant of Queen Anna.

"So Queen Anna also had an older brother?" Prince Riker said in surprise.

Princess Gemia glared at him. "Even if you like inventions and research, you can't just stay in your room all day and ignore everything. Read the brief history of the kingdom's figures more often. Queen Anna and her brother Prince Anjie were twins, but Prince Anjie was in poor health since he was a child, so he passed away very early. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for Anna to inherit the throne as his younger sister."

"I see!" Prince Riker scratched the back of his head embarrassedly.

The king was very angry that the royal tomb was robbed. He immediately took people to the tomb to check the situation, and then he saw that Anjie's coffin had been opened.

Princess Gemia and Prince Riker, who also entered the tomb and saw the situation clearly, looked puzzled.

"Strange, wasn't it said to be tomb robbery? Why are the funerary objects all there, and only the body is missing?" Princess Gemia said in confusion.

Back then, Anjie's father and mother doted on him extremely, so the funerary objects they prepared for him after his "death" were extremely luxurious. Even if they weren't worth a fortune, they could at least allow ordinary people to live a life of luxury.

(Anjie, who was muddled and didn't notice the existence of the funerary objects: Is it too late to come back and get them now?)

But now, these funerary objects are still lying in the tomb intact.

"Could it be that the tomb robber is a pervert who likes the corpses of the dead?" Prince Riker asked.

Princess Gemia knocked him on the head fiercely. "Don't talk nonsense."

Not only Gemia and Riker were puzzled, but the king was also puzzled.

"Investigate! Investigate for me! I want to know what's going on!" the king said to the guard.

After the ceremony ended, the King of Azoth led the team back to the Azoth Kingdom in a mighty manner. (Note: The Azoth Kingdom in a broad sense refers to all the land under the jurisdiction of the Azoth royal family, including uninhabited areas, such as the Nibel Plateau; the Azoth Kingdom in a narrow sense only refers to the city where the Azoth Kingdom's people now live, Azoth City.)

As soon as he returned to the palace, Prince Riker returned to his laboratory and buried himself in research, while Princess Gemia looked at a painting on a wall of the palace and fell into deep thought.

The painting depicted Queen Anna and her brother Prince Anjie when they were young. The siblings looked very similar, both with the Azoth royal family's signature golden hair.

"Princess." At this time, the princess's personal secretary, Flamel, walked over and asked, "Your Highness, what are you looking at?"

Gemia shook her head. "It's nothing, let's go."

In the evening, Anjie still went to the training room with Snorlax to hone his cooking skills for an hour (outside), and then went back to his room to sleep soundly.

The next day, Anjie slept in as usual until the sun was high, and then got up and made breakfast for the Pokémon with Snorlax.

Because of what happened yesterday, only the Litwick and a few others came to the store today.

Because he had been exposed, Anjie no longer needed to hide in the kitchen. After making breakfast for the Litwick, he also brought Diancie, Komala, and Snorlax to the hall to have breakfast with everyone.

Seeing that Anjie didn't seem to be really affected by yesterday's events, the Litwick gradually regained their laughter and joy. Everyone was talking and laughing, and the atmosphere was very relaxed.

"Chirp~ Chirp~~"

Suddenly, a soft chirping sound came from the door. Everyone turned their heads to look at the door, only to see Swablu appearing there at some point, hesitantly poking its head into the store.

Seeing that everyone noticed it, it hurriedly retracted its head in a fluster.

An Jieren walked to the door upon seeing this and, as expected, saw a Swablu squatting by the wall with its head tucked in.

"Swablu, why didn't you come in since you're here?"

Hearing An Jie's voice, Swablu shivered.

"What's wrong? Are you still afraid of me?" An Jie asked with a gentle voice and a smile.

"Chilu~ Chilu~"

Swablu gently shook its head.

"Then what is it?" An Jie asked in confusion. He wanted to pat Swablu, but thinking that it might scare the other party, he silently retracted his hand.

"Chilu~ Chilu~~"

Seeing this, Swablu called out to An Jie twice, but seemed to remember something and its face was full of disappointment.

At this time, Diancie also came out and translated for An Jie: "Swablu is apologizing to you for what happened yesterday."

Swablu nodded quickly upon hearing this.

After returning home with its mother yesterday, it thought for a long, long time. Although everyone said that humans were bad, and it was indeed scared and茫然 when it first learned that the food it had been eating came from humans, the happy times it spent with An Jie were not fake, and neither was the delicious food it had eaten.

It didn't believe that An Jie, who could make such delicious food, was a bad person no matter what, and it also liked the gentle Diancie, and the friends it ate, laughed, and played with in the store. It didn't want to lose all of this.

Thinking of the smile on An Jie's face yesterday, Swablu felt that it was really too much. It had eaten so much of An Jie's food, but it hurt An Jie together with its mother.

So after its mother went out today, it secretly came to An Jie's store again, wanting to apologize to An Jie.

"So it's an apology." A smile appeared on An Jie's face. "Okay, I forgive you. I know that Swablu's behavior yesterday was definitely not from the heart, right?"

"Chilu~ Chilu~"

Swablu nodded quickly again.

"That's fine." An Jie said, "Have you had breakfast? Do you want to come in and have some?"

Hearing this, Swablu hesitated. It felt that it had hurt An Jie and was no longer qualified to eat the food made by An Jie.

As soon as An Jie saw it, he knew what Swablu was thinking. He gestured to Diancie with his eyes, and Diancie immediately understood, stepping forward to pick up Swablu.

"Let's eat something together. It doesn't feel lively in the store without you," An Jie said.

Just as Diancie was about to take Swablu in, something suddenly fell from the eaves and splattered on the ground.

An Jie and Diancie took a closer look, who else could it be but Fletchling? At this time, it was lying on the ground with its limbs spread out, looking at An Jie and Diancie with an embarrassed expression.

"Why are you here too?" An Jie asked with a smile.

Fletchling scrambled up from the ground, hopped and hid under the steps, and then quietly poked its little head up, looking like it didn't dare to see An Jie.

An Jie was amused by it, "We're leaving if you don't come out."

Fletchling then shrank its head and jumped out from under the steps.

"Yaluo~ Yaluo~~"

It called out softly with its head lowered.

After Diancie's translation, An Jie learned that it was also here to apologize.

Like Swablu, Fletchling was very young, and its understanding of many things came from its parents and friends. Its parents told it that humans were scary, so it naturally thought that humans were scary.

But at the same time, they also had their own independent perception and a rich desire for knowledge, which supported them to explore and understand the outside world on their own, forming a perspective on things that was different from their parents.

It was precisely because of this that at this moment, they did not act according to their parents' instructions, but followed their own hearts.

"Okay, I forgive you too. Let's all go inside and have a meal." An Jie stepped forward and picked up Fletchling. Fletchling's body trembled slightly, but it quickly returned to calm.

An Jie, who was holding Fletchling, could clearly perceive the changes in Fletchling's body reaction, and a more genuine smile appeared on his face.

At this moment, there was a sudden rustling sound from the grass in the distance, and a Bellsprout ran out of it in a panic.

"Ci Bo~ Ci Bo~" Me too, me too, don't leave me behind!

It turned out that Bellsprout had also been here for a long time, but it had been hiding in the grass and was too embarrassed to show itself. Now that it saw that Swablu and Fletchling had been forgiven, it ran out in a hurry.

Pa Ji~~

Probably because it was running too fast, Bellsprout tripped over itself and fell, and was immediately filled with tears.

"Hahaha~~~"

An Jie and Diancie couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Putting Fletchling on his shoulder, An Jie walked over and picked up Bellsprout, and then everyone went into the store to eat.

Time passed in the blink of an eye, and several days had passed.

In the past few days, some of the Pokémon that had left because An Jie's human identity was exposed had returned one after another.

These Pokémon were mainly young and native to the Nibel Plateau. Those Pokémon who had personally experienced human harm would probably find it difficult to accept An Jie in a short period of time.

With the return of those Pokémon, An Jie's store gradually became lively again. Every morning, there were bursts of laughter in the store, and everyone looked really happy, which could not help but make some Pokémon who did not like humans but secretly paid attention to An Jie feel疑惑.

Is the food made by that human so delicious?

The fact that Swablu, Fletchling, and Bellsprout secretly came to An Jie's place could not be hidden from their parents after all.

This morning, while everyone was eating breakfast in the store, An Jie and Diancie came out together to water the seedlings in the flower garden, but when they looked up, they saw a huge Pokémon squatting on the ridge of their house, staring at them with sharp eyes. Who else could it be but Talonflame, the parent of Fletchling?

"You... hello!" An Jie waved and greeted Talonflame.

"Yaluo~~"

Talonflame chirped and turned its head away from An Jie.

"Talonflame, why are you here? If you're worried about Fletchling, please rest assured, I really won't hurt it," An Jie tried to talk to Talonflame.

"Yaluo~ Yaluo~~" I'm here to supervise you.

Talonflame turned its head and said to An Jie, Diancie translated from the side.

The ones who come to An Jie's place to eat are all Pokémon babies. The parents can't stop their children, so they sent a representative to monitor An Jie.

Talonflame is that representative.

"I see, then please take care of me in the future." An Jie pondered for a moment, thinking that this was also good. With Talonflame watching, everyone would one day believe that he had no malice.
