Gourmet master of the Pokemon world

The afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled upon Xerneas, coating it with a layer of golden brilliance, adding to its divinity.

“Everyone, please return,” Xerneas said to Anji and the Pokémon.

“Xerneas, take care, I hope there will be a day when we meet again,” Anji said.

“There will be that day,” Xerneas said with a smiling voice, “Although it was only a short half-day, I am very happy to have met you all.”

Its kind gaze swept across the Pokémon in front of it, eventually landing on Diancie.

“Diancie, you haven't comprehended Fairy Aura yet, have you?”

“Fairy Aura?” Diancie asked in confusion.

“Yes!” Xerneas nodded, “Only by comprehending Fairy Aura can you truly unlock your own abilities.”

Diancie asked in confusion: “Then how can I comprehend Fairy Aura?”

Xerneas approached Diancie, pressing its forehead against Diancie's, and immediately the antlers on its head emitted a strong, colorful light, followed by all the Pokémon, including Diancie, being enveloped in rays of light.

So warm, so comfortable!

The Pokémon couldn't help but exclaim, and Anji felt the same way.

As Diancie was enveloped in light, Anji clearly felt the aura emanating from it becoming stronger and more active.

After a long time, Xerneas stopped releasing Fairy Aura, and it looked at Diancie and asked: “This is Fairy Aura, do you understand?”

Diancie seemed to understand, yet didn't, it nodded, then shook its head.

Xerneas didn't explain much, only saying: “Fairy Aura is the power of life, and what nurtures life is yourself!”

After saying that, it added: “I should go now.”

Two Charcadet and two Lechonk ran forward upon hearing this, reluctantly embracing Xerneas.

Xerneas smiled and said: “No need to be sad, we will meet again.”

The tearful Charcadet wiped its tears and nodded vigorously.

Xerneas nodded towards Anji and the Pokémon, then turned around and leaped, disappearing into the sunset in the blink of an eye.

“Alright, let's go back,”

After Xerneas's figure completely disappeared, Anji said to everyone.

After returning home, Anji remembered the system prompt that sounded when Xerneas was eating, so he opened the system.

Sure enough, the system immediately popped up a prompt.

Congratulations to the host for completing the achievement: Hosting a God. Reward: Secret Fortress Energy System activated. (Note: After system modification, the Secret Fortress Energy has been converted from Magearna's Soul-Heart to Diancie's Sacred Diamond.)

Seeing this reward, Anji was slightly stunned, Energy System? What's the use of activating this? His heart was full of curiosity.

“Anji!” Diancie approached, “I just received a system message that the Secret Fortress's energy system has been activated.”

Anji nodded: “It's the reward for hosting Xerneas! What exactly is the use of this energy system?”

Diancie explained: “It has many uses!

First, after the energy system is activated, the Secret Fortress can activate flight mode, similar to the function of an aircraft.”

Anji exclaimed: “The Secret Fortress is so big, it can fly?”

Diancie nodded, “Have you forgotten, the Secret Fortress's original name was Aerial Fortress.”

“Oh, right~” Anji finally reacted, then asked again, “Are there any other functions?”

“Of course there are,” Diancie nodded: “The second point is that after the Secret Fortress has energy, it can activate attack mode.”

Anji: “Attack mode?”

“Yes, a single strike from the Secret Fortress can even shoot down a god!” Diancie's tone unconsciously became solemn.

“Shoot down a god?” Anji opened his mouth wide, and after a long time, he said, “No… no wonder so many people wanted to fight for Magearna to control the Secret Fortress back then.”

“Anything else?” After calming down, Anji continued to ask.

“There's also the aspect of our daily lives.” Diancie replied, and after saying that, she asked Anji, “Do you know where the water and electricity we use every day come from? Why don't I, Munchlax, and Komala generate happiness points when we eat the things you make?”

“Ah?” Anji was stunned by Diancie's question, he stammered and replied, “Aren't water and electricity all provided by the system? You are my family, it's not strange that there are no happiness points provided, right?”

In fact, he had never thought about these questions.

Diancie was speechless: “The system can't possibly provide you with these for no reason, right! You still have to pay happiness points to buy things in the system store, why would the system work for you for free!”

“Then why is that?” Anji's not-so-bright brain was dazed.

Diancie explained: “Because the happiness points generated by me, Munchlax, Komala, Surskit, Gengar, Metagross, Pawmo, and even Magearna and Volcanion who just joined the family, are all consumed on our daily life materials.

Because this is implicit, the system has not explicitly stated it!”

“So that's how it is!” Anji suddenly understood, “That is to say, after the Secret Fortress's energy system is activated, the energy we need for our lives in the future will be provided by the Secret Fortress, and you will generate happiness points normally when you eat, right?”

“That's right!” Diancie nodded.

In the future, the operation of the household's power system, water purification system, garbage disposal system, and so on will all be powered by the Secret Fortress's energy system. To be precise, it will be provided by the Sacred Diamond.

The Secret Fortress's energy system is equivalent to a conversion device.

Other Sacred Diamonds made by Diancie can support the operation of the Diamond Domain spread throughout the world, now it's just supplying an Anji's home, naturally it's just a piece of cake.

Anji thought for a while and asked Diancie: “The Secret Fortress's energy is your Sacred Diamond, are you… okay?”

Hearing this, an uncertain look appeared on Diancie's face, “I don't know either, how about… we try it?”

Anji nodded.

It was already evening, Anji instructed the three disciples to make dinner for the Pokémon, while he and Diancie went to the fifth floor of the Secret Fortress together.

The Secret Fortress's energy hub is located here.

At this time, there were no other Pokémon on the fifth floor of the Secret Fortress, only a few fish raised in the pool that Anji and the others hadn't had time to eat.

Under Diancie's control, the black iron lump suspended above the pool slowly opened, splitting into two like a Poké Ball, the middle of the two hemispheres was the place to put the Sacred Diamond.

“Let's start,” Anji said to Diancie.

“Mm~” Diancie nodded, feeling a little apprehensive.

It stretched out its hands forward, aiming at the energy hub, and countless pink rays of light quickly gathered in front of its palms, that was the phenomenon produced by the massive gathering of Fairy-type energy.

Gradually, a huge pink diamond slowly took shape, Anji was overjoyed to see this.

It's done!

However, his happiness lasted for only three seconds, before he saw the pink diamond that had just formed halfway re-transformed into starlight and disappeared.

Diancie lowered her arms in disappointment, “I… I can't do it.”

Seeing this, Anji stepped forward and touched the top of its head, saying: “It's okay, take your time, no rush, we've been doing fine without using the energy system all this time.”

Diancie said: “If I can use Fairy Aura properly, maybe I can create Sacred Diamonds.”

Anji said: “Practice slowly, you will definitely master it, I believe in you! Let's put the energy thing aside for now, we'll talk about it later.”

“Mm~” Diancie nodded lightly.

Anji accompanied the disappointed Diancie out of the Secret Fortress.

Because she failed to create a Sacred Diamond, Diancie was disappointed for a long time, even when eating dinner, she was listless.

When everyone was training their cooking skills at night, Diancie changed her usual strictness and frequently spaced out, Munchlax, Surskit, and Gengar looked at each other, feeling a little unaccustomed.

When Anji was leading the three disciples and Pawmo to practice Aura, Diancie sat there quietly, seemingly pondering the matter of Fairy Aura.

Anji could faintly see pink light gathering in its palm, flickering on and off.

In the following period of time, Anji often saw Diancie standing on the edge of the fence in a daze, sometimes looking at the rising sun, sometimes watching the playing Pokémon, or looking down at a wild flower that had just budded, staring at a wild grass that had just sprouted…

She even stopped watching her favorite dramas and working on the half-finished hand-dyeing project.

An Jue was completely clueless about how to master the aura of a fairy, so he could only silently stay by Diancie's side, sometimes sitting quietly with her, sometimes making delicious food to cheer her up.

Time passed day by day.

Diancie was constantly thinking, pondering the words Zygarde had said to her before leaving: 'What nurtures life is within yourself!'

She couldn't understand the meaning of this sentence.

This morning, before An Jue set off for the Skiddo Home, he said to Diancie, "Diancie, would you like to stroll around the Royal City with me this afternoon?"

Diancie was stunned, "Stroll around the Royal City?"

An Jue nodded: "Yes, just the two of us!"

"But there are many things to be busy with at home..." Diancie looked hesitant.

"Oh come on, the house won't fall apart if you're gone for half a day! It's settled then, let's meet at the Skiddo Home at noon!"

After saying that, An Jue dashed off, leaving Diancie stunned in place.

After a long while, a smile appeared on Diancie's face, actually, she knew An Jue's intentions.

She had been pondering the fairy aura for so long, but still couldn't fully grasp it, so An Jue thought of taking her out for a stroll to change her mood.

For some reason, Diancie's heart suddenly felt much lighter.

As soon as 10:00 AM arrived, An Jue immediately closed the shop. After sending off Drizzile, Espurr, Meowth, and Ralts, he stood quietly at the entrance of the space channel waiting for Diancie.

Before long, Diancie arrived as promised.

"What are we going to do?" Diancie asked.

"First, let's fill our stomachs!" An Jue said.

Diancie asked in confusion: "Then why didn't we have lunch at home before going out?"

An Jue helplessly rubbed his forehead, "Why are you so unromantic?"

"Romantic?" Diancie looked puzzled again.

"Oh well, alright! Just follow me!" As he said that, An Jue took Diancie's hand and walked out.

Amidst Diancie's full of doubts, An Jue brought her to a very high-end-looking restaurant.

As soon as they entered, a waiter came up and asked, "Do you have a reservation?"

This restaurant was especially popular in the Royal City. You couldn't get a table without a reservation. An Jue had made a reservation five or six days in advance to get a spot.

An Jue nodded, "Yes, I do." As he said that, he took out his phone and showed the waiter his reservation number.

Upon seeing this, the waiter quickly took out the tablet computer from his pocket to compare. After confirming An Jue's identity, he said:

"Mr. An Jue, please follow me!"

Under the waiter's lead, An Jue and Diancie came to a window seat. Through the window, they could clearly see the scenery in the restaurant's courtyard.

The restaurant's courtyard had many different Pokémon, and guests could also go into the courtyard to play with the Pokémon.

The waiter handed the menu to An Jue, letting An Jue order. An Jue's gaze quickly scanned the menu, then he pointed to the menu and said:

"First, a plate of Hondew Berry Salad, followed by Slowpoke Tail Soup, Honey-glazed Baked Krabby Meat, Garlic Butter Clawitzer Meat, for dessert, a Cherrim Pudding, and a Bounsweet Juice."

After ordering, An Jue returned the menu to the waiter. The waiter was about to give the menu to Diancie, but he heard Diancie say: "I'll have the same as An Jue."

Hearing Diancie's words, the waiter's face showed surprise, but his good manners kept him calm, and he didn't ask any more questions.

"Alright, please wait a moment, the dishes will be here soon."

While waiting, Diancie looked around and saw that many elegant people were sitting in the restaurant, talking and laughing. She whispered to An Jue:

"Why did we come here to eat?"

An Jue asked: "You eat my cooking every day, don't you want to change your taste?"

Diancie shook her head, "I don't. I think the food made by others is not as delicious as yours."

An Jue shook his head with a smile, "Now that we're here, don't think about anything else, just enjoy this meal, the important thing is to enjoy the process."

Soon, the Hondew Berry Salad was brought over.

An Jue quickly beckoned Diancie, "Quickly try their Hondew Berries, it is said that they were airlifted from the Alola region, very delicious."

Diancie nodded, picked up a fork, put a piece in her mouth, and then nodded, "The taste is indeed different."

"Right? I thought for a long time before choosing this restaurant." An Jue smiled, then he raised a can of yogurt next to him, "Come, it's even better with this yogurt. This is yogurt made with Moomoo Milk, the taste is very unusual."

Diancie learned from An Jue's example and enjoyed the food, gradually casting aside the extra thoughts in her mind.

After the fruit salad, the Slowpoke Tail Soup came up.

Slowpoke are insensitive, their tails don't have many nerves, so even if they break, they won't feel pain, and they will quickly grow back.

Not only that, their tails are very delicious and are a very high-end ingredient.

Slowpoke tails are difficult to buy outside, because their production is very, very low, because the health of Slowpoke needs to be considered during the breeding process, and their tails can only be harvested once in a long time.

This restaurant has a Slowpoke tail supply because they have their own Slowpoke breeding. Other restaurants can't eat it.

An Jue beckoned Diancie, "Quickly try it, this is their specialty, this is my first time eating Slowpoke tail!"

Diancie nodded, took a spoonful of soup and put it in her mouth, then she and An Jue looked at each other at the same time, with surprise in their eyes.

"So fresh!" Diancie exclaimed.

"Yes!" An Jue said happily, "I knew my choice wouldn't be wrong."

After the Slowpoke Tail Soup, what came up were Honey-glazed Clawitzer Meat and Garlic Butter Clawitzer Meat.

Don't be scared by these two dishes. The Clawitzer Meat and Clawitzer Meat mentioned here actually refer to the meat on their claws.

The claws of Krabby and Clawitzer will fall off once in a while, and then regrow harder and stronger claws.

Because they have been rigorously trained, the meat in the claws shed by these two Pokémon is very delicious. Some people will specially breed these two Pokémon, and after their claws fall off, they will collect the claws and sell them to the market.

The claws of the two Pokémon are also not easy to buy, because they do not continuously shed their claws, but only shed them once in a long time.

"This is also delicious."

Diancie chewed in small bites, pointing to the two plates in front of her.

An Jue smiled, "Eat more if you like it, order more if it's not enough."

Diancie shook her head, "Enough."

After the main course, the dessert was Cherrim Pudding and the drink was Bounsweet Juice.

An Jue introduced to Diancie: "This is pudding made with Gossifleur milk, topped with Cherrim-produced Cheri Berries, Diancie, try it quickly."

Diancie nodded and took a spoonful and put it in her mouth.

The pudding melted in her mouth. Its tender texture, rich milky aroma, and sweet taste instantly filled Diancie's mouth.

Take another bite of the Cheri Berry on top, it's sour, sweet, and crisp, the taste is first-class.

"Delicious." Diancie narrowed her eyes happily.

But after putting down the spoon, she said again: "But I feel that the milk used to make this pudding is not as good as ours."

An Jue smiled and motioned her not to say that, it would be impolite for the restaurant staff to hear it.

Diancie smiled and stuck out her tongue.

An Jue quickly finished the pudding, then took a big gulp of Bounsweet Juice.

This Bounsweet Juice is made by mixing fruit juice with the sweat of Bounsweet, the taste is very special.

Bounsweet's sweat is particularly sweet, and humans can't handle drinking it directly, so it needs to be diluted with water. After the sweetness is moderate, it will become a delicious drink.

Desserts make people feel happy. After drinking the Bounsweet Juice, An Jue and Diancie both had happy smiles on their faces.

After lunch, the two of them, a human and a Pokémon, rested for a while before leaving the restaurant.

An Jue asked with a smile, "How does it feel to eat out occasionally?"

Diancie blinked her eyes and said in a good mood, "Feels not bad."

"Where to next?" Diancie asked.
