Gourmet master of the Pokemon world

Anjay teased Fried, "Is the Pokémon Professor's thirst for knowledge erupting again?"

"Sorry!" Fried scratched the back of his head sheepishly. "If it's inconvenient to reveal, just pretend I didn't ask."

Anjay waved his hand, "It's not inconvenient to reveal anything. Volcanion, like Magearna and Diancie, is a Mythical Pokémon."

"So it really is a Legendary Pokémon?" Fried understood. "No wonder I haven't seen or heard of it."

"What else? What type of Pokémon is Volcanion?" Fried continued to ask.

Anjay continued, "Volcanion's types are Fire and Water, and its ability is Water Absorb. It can generate powerful steam using the water within its body and high temperatures.

The reason why so few people have discovered it is because it usually lives in the deep mountains and also spews steam to create mist to hide itself. The steam ejected from the arms on its back even has the power to blow away a mountain."

The more Fried listened, the happier he became. He recorded the information Anjay was saying on his phone while muttering to himself, "A great discovery! A Water and Fire type combination. Volcanion should be the only known Pokémon with this combination!"

While recording, he also took out his phone and snapped pictures of Volcanion galloping on the grass.

After Anjay finished introducing Volcanion and was planning to take them to other places to look around, Molly said, "Anjay, can I watch the Pokémon play soccer here for a while?"

She felt that Anjay's Nibel Plateau was a magical place. The Pokémon lived here carefree, with their own work and their own entertainment... This was simply the ideal model of harmonious coexistence between humans and Pokémon.

Anjay nodded, "Of course."

Hearing this, Molly found a thick patch of grass and quietly watched the Pokémon play soccer.

Not long after Anjay and the others left, Buneary and Pachirisu came and sat next to Molly, watching the soccer game side by side with her.

Molly looked at the two Pokémon in surprise. Seeing them watching the game intently, she didn't speak to disturb them.

After a while, during halftime, Buneary took out a bag of potato chips from somewhere, opened it, and started munching on them.

Noticing Molly's gaze, it held up the bag of potato chips. "Mimi~" Want some?

Molly asked in surprise, "Are you offering me some?"

"Mimi~" Buneary nodded.

"No, you can eat it yourself." Molly was embarrassed to eat something from a Buneary, so she waved her hand.

"Mimi~" You eat.

Buneary stubbornly held up its hand. It knew that humans liked to pretend to be polite, but they must already be wanting to eat in their hearts!

"Okay." Molly helplessly reached into the bag and took out a potato chip. "Is this okay?"

See, I knew it!

Buneary nodded in satisfaction and refocused its gaze on the field, eating potato chips while watching the game.

Seeing this, Pachirisu next to it brought its own popcorn to Molly, imitating Buneary and holding up the popcorn.

Molly looked helpless. She scratched Pachirisu's chin, took a piece of popcorn and put it in her mouth, "Is this okay?"

Fried said with a smile, "Anjay, you are really popular with Pokémon."

Anjay smiled as he hugged the Poliwags, "It's just that everyone is too enthusiastic!"

Hearing Anjay's words, the Poliwags burrowed into his arms even more diligently.

"That's really nice." Fried said.

He looked at Anjay with admiration. Being liked by so many Pokémon, Anjay must be a good guy! He likes to make friends with people like that!

"By the way, shall we go boating on the lake together?" Anjay asked, pointing to the fishing boat not far away.

"Okay!" Fried agreed happily.

"I was just thinking that." Grandpa Rondo said with a smile.

So the four of them boarded Anjay's fishing boat and slowly floated towards the center of the lake, with the Poliwags surrounding the fishing boat, providing power for the boat.

"Anjay, can I fish?" Grandpa Rondo asked, holding the fishing rod in his hand.

"Of course, please do, Grandpa." Anjay said.

So Grandpa Rondo sat quietly at the bow of the boat, cast the fishing rod, and started fishing silently.

The fishing boat floated and floated. Just as they reached the center of the lake, Anjay and the others heard laughter and splashing.

Oriole asked suspiciously, "What's that sound?"

Anjay replied, "It should be the Water-type Pokémon playing ball, right?"

Sure enough, after the fishing boat floated for a while, Anjay and the others saw Wooper, Barboach, Whiscash, and Poliwhirl chasing a ball floating on the water.

They nimbly swam back and forth in the water, like swimming champions, their enthusiasm no less than that of Volcanion and the others on the soccer field.

Just then, Anjay suddenly saw a slender neck emerge from the water, with smooth lines, a blue head, and a white chin.

Who else could it be but Lapras?

Lapras is back? Anjay looked surprised. When did this happen?

"Lapras!" He shouted and waved at Lapras.

"Woo~~~"

Lapras instantly noticed Anjay. It sang a long song and swam quickly towards the fishing boat, followed by its fellow Lapras.

After Lapras swam to the boat, Anjay hugged its neck and asked, "When did you guys come back? Why didn't you let me know?"

"Woo~ Woo~" Just came back.

Lapras affectionately rubbed its head against Anjay.

It and its group had just migrated back from the upper reaches of the Nibel River. Seeing Wooper and the others playing ball, they thought it was interesting, so they joined in for a while, not expecting Anjay to come.

Anjay patted Lapras's head and said, "Are you back earlier than expected?"

"Woo~ Woo~" Yeah, I wanted to come back earlier to eat the food Anjay makes.

Lapras affectionately rubbed against Anjay again.

Anjay said happily, "Tonight, you and everyone else can come home for dinner."

"Woo~"

"Woo~"

......

The other Lapras all raised their heads and sang in response, eagerly anticipating tonight's dinner.

Fried looked at the Lapras group and asked suspiciously, "Anjay, these Lapras..."

Anjay explained with a smile, "Due to their migratory habits, the Lapras leave the Nibel Plateau every autumn and winter, and then return in the spring and summer. I didn't expect them to come back early this year. We haven't seen each other for a long time."

Fried suddenly understood, "So that's how it is."

Of course he knew that Lapras had migratory habits, he just didn't expect that the Lapras on the Nibel Plateau would return today by such a coincidence.

"Ooo ~ ~"

At this moment, Lapras used its mouth to tug at Anji's clothes.

"Do you want me to sit on your back?" Anji asked.

"Ooo ~" Lapras narrowed its eyes and nodded.

"Then I won't be polite!" Saying that, Anji jumped from the fishing boat onto Lapras's back.

The other Lapras also swam forward, signaling Fried and the others to ride on their backs as well.

Fried and Olyo followed Anji's example and jumped onto a Lapras each, but Grandpa Lando said, "Forget about this old man, I'll stay on the fishing boat and fish. I'm too old to handle the excitement."

Hearing this, Anji didn't insist, but instead instructed the Poliwags, "Take good care of Grandpa Lando!"

"Yo ~ Yo ~"

"Yo ~ Yo ~"

......

The Poliwags, surrounding the fishing boat, nodded obediently, and then led the fishing boat to drift in another direction.

After separating from Grandpa Lando, Anji and the others were carried by the Lapras towards the direction of the great waterfall.

Of course, the Lapras couldn't take Anji and the others to jump off the great waterfall, but instead swam down from a slower-flowing position next to the great waterfall.

Lapras took Anji to Azoth Royal City via this route. It's not easy for other Water-type Pokémon to pass through here, but Lapras can swim through easily and steadily.

Looking at the cascading water curtain, Olyo couldn't help but exclaim, "What a magnificent waterfall!"

Saying that, she took out her phone and started taking pictures. Such a spectacle is not easy to see.

Fried was the same.

Looking at the phone's lens, Fried suddenly paused, "What is that?"

He took his phone away and stared at the waterfall carefully. He saw fish-shaped Pokémon with bodies exceeding 2 meters swimming through the white water.

Olyo quickly discovered the Pokémon in the water as well.

Anji explained, "They are Barboach, they are training!"

"Training in this way?" Olyo asked.

"Yes! Is there something wrong?" Anji asked.

Of course there is! Olyo thought.

The waterfall's current is so turbulent, she couldn't imagine how painful it would be to fall down, and... can any Pokémon really climb to the top of the waterfall?

As soon as this thought arose, the group in the pool below cheered.

A Barboach, much larger than the others, leaped up, bringing up a string of crystal water droplets, facing the sun, and leaping into the sky above the waterfall.

Under the sunlight, Olyo even saw a curved rainbow surrounding it.

With a plop, the Barboach soared into the sky and fell into the top of the waterfall.

Olyo opened her mouth in disbelief.

A Pokémon really succeeded.

Listening to the cheers from the Barboach, Goldeen, Seaking, Magikarp, and Feebas below, Anji smiled.

"Finally succeeded!"

During this period, the staple food of the Highland fish Pokémon has been replaced with the fish food made by Anji, and their training efficiency has also been greatly improved.

Anji didn't expect that the Barboach leader would officially climb the great waterfall successfully today!

Fried had already captured the moment when the Barboach leader succeeded in climbing with his mobile phone. Looking at the photos on his phone, he couldn't help but feel shocked.

This is the vitality of Pokémon!

"I've only seen Magikarp climb waterfalls like this in order to evolve into Gyarados before. I didn't expect the Pokémon here to train in this way," Fried said with emotion.

In fact, even Magikarp would not choose this level of great waterfall to climb. The Magikarp that come to climb the Nibel River every year are not climbing the turbulent great waterfall in front of Anji and the others, but the smaller waterfall with a slower current next to it.

The Barboach leader's successful climb greatly encouraged the other Barboach, Goldeen, Seaking, Magikarp, and Feebas, so they shook their tails and climbed towards the waterfall.

At the same time, the Barboach leader jumped down from the top of the waterfall again and climbed up again.

Although it succeeded this time, it was still a bit difficult for it to climb. It vowed to completely conquer this great waterfall.

Watching the Pokémon constantly climbing and falling, and then resolutely climbing again, Fried and Olyo felt that they were blooming with unparalleled brilliance.

It shines when it says it shines.

In the shocked eyes of Fried and Olyo, several Goldeen burst into blue-white light.

"Evol... evolved!" Olyo said.

Under their witness, Goldeen evolved into Seaking. Pokémon evolution is not something that can be easily seen.

Anji smiled and said, "It's really a coincidence. It's getting late, let's go back. Jerami's materials should be delivered too."

Speak of the devil, a roar came from the sky at this moment. Anji and the others looked up and saw a black aircraft passing by in the air.

"It really is Jerami who is here," Anji said.

Afterwards, Fried and Olyo left the Great Waterfall and Nibel Lake with surging hearts, following Anji.

On the way back, Anji and the others saw Molly and several Pokémon gathered in a circle, so they walked over and asked, "What's wrong?"

Molly replied, "Poliwhirl accidentally sprained his leg, and I'm helping him check it."

Anji walked into the circle, and sure enough, he saw Poliwhirl sitting on the ground with a bitter face, his ankle red and swollen. He quickly asked with concern, "How bad is the injury? Is it serious?"

"Yoro ~"

Poliwhirl shook his head.

Molly took out the medicine and sprayed it on Poliwhirl's ankle, and said to Anji, "Don't worry, it's not serious, just rest well, and it will be fine soon."

Anji said gratefully, "Molly, thank you."

Molly waved her hand and said, "You're welcome, this is what I do."

At this time, a Skiddo squeezed in, and a verdant light gushed out from its body. Verdant grass surrounded the injured Poliwhirl, and after a while, Poliwhirl slowly stood up.

"Yoro ~ Yoro ~"

It twisted its ankle and found that it didn't hurt at all, and instantly hugged the Skiddo happily.

"Maa ~ Maa ~" Skiddo stuck out its tongue and licked Poliwhirl.

Molly smiled and said, "Sure enough, Pokémon skills are easy to use."

She has a Chansey that knows the Heal Pulse healing skill, but it was left on the spaceship and was not brought with her.

"Yoro ~ Yoro ~"

Then Poliwhirl walked to Molly's side again to express his gratitude to her.

Although Grassy Terrain is easy to use, it would not have recovered immediately without Molly's medicine.

Molly touched Poliwhirl's head, "You're welcome, be careful next time."

"Yoro ~ Yoro ~"

Poliwhirl nodded and ran back to the arena.
