Gourmet master of the Pokemon world

After the initial shock, Anji gradually calmed down.

At this time, Xerneas asked, "May I have a meal now?"

Anji looked at the time and realized it was only mid-afternoon, but since Xerneas wanted to eat, he would make it!

"Xerneas, I'll make it for you now, can you wait a moment?"

"Of course," Xerneas said.

"Snorlax, Sobiwaba, Gengar, come and help!" Anji said to his three disciples.

"Gang ~"

"Ji Mie ~"

"Geng ~"

The three Pokémon cheered and went into the kitchen with Anji.

In the kitchen, Anji prepared the ingredients while saying to his three disciples, "Today we have to perform well!"

"Gang ~"

"Ji Mie ~"

"Geng ~"

Snorlax, Sobiwaba, and Gengar nodded solemnly.

However, before starting to cook, Gengar carefully took off the garland given to it by its senior brother and hid it in the system backpack.

That way, it can always keep the gift from its senior brother!

Outside, Xerneas lay down on the soft grass and said to the Pokémon, "Can you chat with me about your affairs and the affairs of the owner here?"

Time passed by, and everyone was no longer nervous about meeting Xerneas for the first time. Diancie and Magearna chatted with it easily, and Sprigatito, Ralts, and Meowth even fell asleep on it.

From the Pokémon's mouths, Xerneas also glimpsed Anji's character.

At this time, two Charcadet riding Lechonk finally returned. They had a good harvest today, so they were in a very good mood.

At first, they were wondering what had happened when they saw everyone gathered together, as it was not yet time for dinner.

Until they saw Xerneas surrounded in the center, the four Pokémon ran over excitedly.

Xerneas, of course, also saw them.

"You're back?" Xerneas asked in a kind tone.

"Cha Ka ~ Cha Ka ~" Friend, you're finally here!

The well-behaved Charcadet said happily, at this time it still thought Xerneas was the Sawsbuck that Anji mentioned.

"Yes!" Xerneas's voice was full of smiles, "Since I made an agreement with you, of course I have to come!"

"Keng Keng ~"

"Keng Keng ~"

The two Lechonk also excitedly gathered around Xerneas, who did not dislike them for being dusty at all.

Volcanion, who was on the side, saw the two Charcadet and two Lechonk being so affectionate with Xerneas, almost calling each other brothers, and its jaw almost dropped to the ground.

Hey, hey, hey! ! ! Do you know who you are talking to, don't you have any reverence?

However, looking at Xerneas's attitude towards Charcadet and Lechonk, Volcanion forcibly held back the words in its heart.

In the kitchen, Anji and his three disciples were busy. Anji took out all his treasures, two Chansey eggs he treasured, and the light Snow Seaweed he couldn't bear to finish eating, he made them all.

He handed the two Chansey eggs to Sobiwaba to make steamed eggs and tomato egg drop soup respectively.

He himself used the light Snow Seaweed to make steamed fish and sauerkraut fish.

The sauerkraut in the sauerkraut fish was pickled by Anji himself with Snorlax and the others.

The Chinese cabbage in the vegetable garden grew too fast, and even if it was given to Skiddo and Moomoo to eat, they couldn't finish it, so Anji made a lot of sauerkraut and stored it in the warehouse of the secret fortress.

The aroma of sauerkraut fish was really domineering, permeating the entire kitchen.

"Cha Ka ~ Cha Ka ~"

At this time, the well-behaved Charcadet stuck its head into the kitchen, and couldn't help coughing because the kitchen was too spicy.

Noticing Charcadet's arrival, Anji said in surprise, "You're back?"

"Cha Ka ~"

The well-behaved Charcadet nodded and handed the backpack to Anji.

Anji took the backpack and asked, "Are all four of you back? Did you encounter any danger today?"

"Cha Ka ~ Cha Ka ~" We're all back, we didn't encounter any danger.

The well-behaved Charcadet squinted its eyes and answered, looking in a very good mood.

"Charcadet, you're in a very good mood!" Anji asked with a smile.

"Cha Ka ~ Cha Ka ~" Um Um ~ My friend is here.

The well-behaved Charcadet said.

"Friend? Are you talking about Xerneas?" Anji was stunned.

"Cha Ka?"

This time it was the well-behaved Charcadet's turn to be stunned.

"Cha Ka ~ Cha Ka ~" My friend is Sawsbuck!

At this time, Anji remembered that Charcadet and the others still didn't know they had made a mistake, so he said with a smile, "I was wrong last time, I thought you met Sawsbuck, your friend's name is actually Xerneas."

"Cha Ka ~"

The well-behaved Charcadet suddenly understood.

Anji guessed that Charcadet and the others probably didn't know the meaning of the name Xerneas, so they would say so calmly that they were friends with Xerneas.

However, since Charcadet and the others didn't realize it, Anji didn't intend to point it out. If Xerneas himself agreed with Charcadet and the others' status as friends, he, as an observer, would have no room to interfere.

After learning Xerneas's name, the well-behaved Charcadet happily left the kitchen.

And Anji opened the backpack that Charcadet handed him.

When he saw the things in the backpack, he was overjoyed, it was bamboo shoots! Fresh bamboo shoots!

Yes, now is spring, the season when bamboo shoots are abundant!

With these bamboo shoots, Anji could use his skills even more.

After thinking about it, Anji decided to make stir-fried bamboo shoots with meat, which was simple and delicious.

After quickly peeling the bamboo shoots, he took out the seasonings needed for stir-fried bamboo shoots with meat, pork, rock salt, monosodium glutamate, sugar, cooking wine, Anji's special Doubanjiang, Argan oil, green onions, ginger and garlic, etc.

After Anji prepared the seasonings, Snorlax and Gengar, who had just finished dry-fried green beans and garlic bok choy, came over.

"Gang ~" Master, what is this?

Snorlax pointed to the bamboo shoots that Anji was slicing and asked. There was no bamboo on Mount Nibel, so Snorlax naturally didn't know bamboo shoots.

Gengar didn't know either, and looked at Anji with curious eyes.

Anji replied, "This is a bamboo shoot."

"Gang?" Bamboo shoot?

Snorlax still didn't understand.

Anji thought for a moment and explained, "Bamboo shoots are the seedlings of bamboo."

What is bamboo again? Snorlax shook his head, indicating that he still didn't know.

Anji smiled and said, "When I have time, I'll take you to see the bamboo. As for the explanation... I can't explain it clearly either."

After all, he wasn't a biology student.

"Gang ~"

"Geng ~"

Snorlax and Gengar nodded at the same time.

While processing the ingredients, Anji still did not forget to use his aura to sort them out.

After the bamboo shoots were sliced, Anji took out the pork and separated the lean meat from the fatty meat.

The lean meat was shredded and marinated with sugar, salt, oil, special Doubanjiang, and starch.

The fatty meat was sliced and put into a hot oil pan to stir-fry until the oil came out.

While doing this, Anji said to Snorlax, "Snorlax, can you help stir-fry the bamboo shoots?"

"Gang ~"

Snorlax nodded, re-heated a hot pot without oil, put the sliced bamboo shoots in, added a little rock salt to remove the moisture from the bamboo shoots, so that the bamboo shoots would taste crisper.

Stir-fry for about a minute.

On Anji's side, after the fatty meat was stir-fried, he added garlic and ginger to the pot to sauté, and then added the marinated lean meat to stir-fry.

After the lean meat was stir-fried until it turned white, Anji reached out to Snorlax and said, "Snorlax, bamboo shoots."

"Gang ~"

Snorlax immediately handed the bamboo shoots that had just been taken out of the pot to Anji.

Anji took the bamboo shoots and poured them into the pot. With a sizzling sound, the bamboo shoots and meat were mixed together.

While quickly stir-frying, he added rock salt, green onions, green peppers and other side dishes and a small amount of Doubanjiang to the pot to color.

As time passed, the aroma filled the air, and Snorlax, Gengar, and Sobiwaba all gathered around Anji.

After the stir-fried bamboo shoots with meat were out of the pot, Anji specially left a portion for Snorlax, Gengar, and Sobiwaba.

"You haven't eaten bamboo shoots before, have you? Come, try it first." Anji handed the plate to them.

The three Pokémon cheered, took the plate, and ran to the side to taste it.

Soon, the three Pokémon let out happy exclamations. They always felt incredibly happy whenever their master made a new dish, because their master would let them taste it first.

"Gang ~" Master, I love bamboo shoots!

After all the dishes were prepared, Anji and his three apprentices brought them out together.

Due to Xerneas's size, it wasn't suitable for sitting at the table to eat, so Anji spread a picnic cloth on the grass and then placed all the food on it.

There were more than a dozen dishes in total, and the aroma they emitted made even Xerneas couldn't help but swallow.

Anji said with a smile, "Xerneas, try it quickly. These are all specially made for you."

Xerneas nodded, "Then I won't be polite." Saying that, it lowered its head and began to eat.

The first dish Xerneas ate was the bamboo shoots stir-fried with meat that Anji made.

The moment the bamboo shoots entered its mouth, the perfectly matched savory and vegetarian soup flowed in its mouth. One bite revealed a crisp, tender taste that was even more amazing.

What surprised Xerneas even more was that there was a power in this food that slightly increased its stamina limit.

If used long-term, Xerneas believed that its stamina would definitely grow to a very strong level.

Food that could affect its physical abilities was simply unheard of. This was different from the buns and steamed buns that Charcadet and Smoliv had given it last time.

Moreover, the inexplicably harmonious taste of this food seemed to have been specially processed!

After swallowing the food, Xerneas looked at Anji, "Your cooking skills seem to have some special changes compared to before."

Anji explained with a smile, "Actually, the food you ate before was made by Munchlax."

"Gang ~"

Munchlax scratched the back of its head embarrassedly.

"So that's how it is..." Xerneas was surprised.

"But what you said is also correct. My cooking skills have indeed changed a lot compared to that time," Anji added, "I awakened the power of Aura, so I use Aura to process the ingredients when cooking."

Xerneas suddenly understood, "So that's how it is, a very remarkable idea. I've never heard of anyone using Aura to cook."

Anji smiled shyly. If it weren't for the system, how would he know that Aura could be used to cook!

"Xerneas, how is it? Do the dishes suit your taste?"

Xerneas nodded, "Very good."

This was the most special meal it had ever eaten.

Anji: "It's good that you like it. You can come anytime if you want to eat my cooking in the future."

Xerneas nodded, then lowered its head and continued to eat.

Soon, Xerneas ate more than a dozen dishes with rice. Even Anji didn't expect that this legendary God of Life could eat so much.

Seeing Anji and the Pokémon looking at it in surprise, Xerneas didn't feel embarrassed at all. It calmly said to Anji:

"I ate a little too much, I made you laugh."

Anji shook his head, "It's my honor that you like my cooking."

While Xerneas was eating, Anji received a prompt from the system. Although he didn't know what the prompt was, it must be related to Xerneas.

While Anji was talking to Xerneas, Diancie and Magearna packed up the dishes.

At this time, Anji suddenly noticed a trace of dust on Xerneas's body, so he asked, "Xerneas, you've traveled all this way, do you want to take a bath at my house?"

Xerneas was stunned for a moment, hesitated for a while, and nodded in agreement, "Then I'll trouble you."

Anji shook his head with a smile, "No trouble, I often bathe my Pokémon."

Saying that, Anji got up and led Xerneas towards the house, bringing it to the bathroom of a guest room.

This was the first time Xerneas had come to a human's home, and its eyes couldn't help but reveal a hint of novelty.

"Xerneas, come in."

After preparing the bathing supplies, Anji filled the bathtub with hot water.

Xerneas nodded lightly, lifted its foot and walked into the bathroom.

Anji: "Soak in the hot water first to relax your body, and then take a bath."

Xerneas had only taken baths in the wild, and didn't know how humans took baths, so it did what Anji said.

Immersing its entire body in the bathtub, wrapped in warmth, Xerneas couldn't help but sigh.

Anji smiled and said, "How is it? Is soaking in a hot bath comfortable?"

Xerneas nodded, "It is indeed comfortable."

It wasn't that it had never soaked in hot springs, but the probability of encountering hot springs during the journey was extremely small.

After Xerneas soaked in the hot water and its body relaxed, Anji signaled it to come out, and squeezed out a Pokémon-specific shower gel and applied it to its body.

Soon, a large amount of bubbles wrapped around Xerneas, emitting a fresh fragrance.

"What is this?" Xerneas asked in confusion.

Anji explained, "This is a Pokémon-specific shower gel. It has a very strong cleaning effect and can also nourish the hair. My Munchlax and Buizel both use this one."

Xerneas nodded, "You humans are indeed very wise in this regard."

Anji gently combed Xerneas's hair with a brush while gently pressing on its body with his hands.

This was a massage technique he had specially learned, and he used to massage Munchlax, Buizel, and Drizzile.

"How is it? Comfortable? How's the strength?" Anji asked.

"Very comfortable, I feel all the fatigue in my body has disappeared, thank you, Anji," Xerneas said sincerely.

"You're welcome." Anji said with a smile while bathing Xerneas, "Am I the first human to bathe you?"

Xerneas nodded, "Indeed."

It had never thought that one day it would let a human help it bathe, and also eat food made by humans.

After Xerneas's body was completely cleaned, Anji rinsed the foam off its body with clean water, and then took a dry towel to dry the moisture on its body.

"Let's go out." After doing all this, Anji said to Xerneas.

Xerneas nodded and followed Anji to the outside living room.

"Xerneas, wait a moment." Saying that, Anji ran into his room.

Although Xerneas didn't know what Anji was going to do, it still stood quietly in the living room and waited.

Soon Anji came back, with something else in his hand.

"What is this?" Xerneas curiously looked at the thing in Anji's hand.

Anji replied, "It's a hair dryer, a tool that can quickly dry hair." Saying that, he walked to the sofa and sat down, and beckoned to Xerneas.

Xerneas obediently walked to Anji's side and stood still.

Anji plugged in the hair dryer, adjusted the gear, and carefully blew on Xerneas's hair.

"How is it? Can the hair be quickly dried this way?" Anji asked.

Xerneas nodded, "A magical tool."

Before, after taking a bath, it would stand quietly in a high place, letting the mountain wind dry its hair.

The warm wind blowing on its body made Xerneas feel sleepy. In the end, it directly lay on the sofa, closing its eyes comfortably, and letting Anji "touch it all over."

When Xerneas's hair was completely dry, Anji turned off the hair dryer and said, "Okay!" Saying that, he touched Xerneas's back, and the smooth, satin-like hair was simply irresistible.

Xerneas opened its eyes and slowly got up from the sofa, feeling incomparably relaxed, as if it had been reborn.

"Thank you, Anji," it said gratefully.

Anji waved his hand and said, "It's nothing, it's rare for you to come to my house."

Xerneas didn't say anything more. It looked out the window, looked at the setting sun and said, "I should go."

Anji was stunned, "You're leaving now?"

Xerneas nodded.

Anji didn't try to keep it, but said generously, "I wish you a smooth journey, Xerneas."

Xerneas: "Thank you."

Immediately, one human and one Pokémon went downstairs.

The other Pokémon seemed to have a premonition that Xerneas was leaving, and they stood downstairs waiting.
