Gourmet master of the Pokemon world

Bellsprout dashed to Angier as soon as it landed, reached out to take Angier's hand, and tugged him in a certain direction, clearly intending to lead the way.

Seeing this, Victreebel and Weepinbell instructed Bellsprout's older siblings to watch the house, while they hurriedly followed.

Flabébé hesitated for a moment, but ultimately chased after Angier and Snorlax as well.

The water sources on the Nibel Plateau mainly come from the Nibel River and Nibel Lake. The lake in front of Angier's house is part of Nibel Lake.

The source of the Nibel River is unknown. It flows out of the endless mountains in the northwest of the Nibel Plateau, pours into Nibel Lake, and then flows out of Nibel Lake, flowing far away, passing through the Azoth Kingdom.

The silt, which has been submerged in water all year round, now emits bursts of stench.

But... for the sake of delicious food, I'll risk it!

After thinking about it, Angier directly took off his shoes, socks, coat, and pants, leaving only shorts and a shirt, and then tentatively put his foot into the silt.

Fortunately, the depth of the silt only just covered his calf.

Unexpectedly, Angier was not as resistant to touching the silt as he had imagined.

Rolling up his sleeves, he reached into the silt and groped around. Soon, his eyes lit up. When he pulled his hand out of the silt, he had a lotus root in his hand.

Perhaps because it is wild, the lotus roots here are not very big, some are slender, but they are white and tender.

"It seems we're going to have a good harvest today!" Angier said, holding up the lotus root in his hand.

Snorlax and Bellsprout were both very happy to hear this, especially Snorlax. Seeing that Angier had gained something, it immediately wanted to come down to help.

"Snor~ Snor~" Master~ I'm coming!

It accelerated and was about to rush into the silt, Angier shouted in horror: "Snorlax, no, don't!"

But it was too late. Snorlax turned into a meatball tank and rushed into the puddle.

Angier wanted to dodge, but the silt under his feet had suction, and he couldn't move his feet for a while.

Bang~~

The next second, Snorlax slammed into the silt, and the silt centered on it bloomed like a flower, splashing everywhere. Angier, who was closest to it, was the worst, and was directly covered in mud.

Angier: . . .

Snorlax sat up from the silt, scratched the back of its head innocently, and belatedly realized that the little flower on its head had fallen off.

"Snor~~"

ε(┬┬﹏┬┬)3 It held the little flower, which was also covered in mud, with its muddy hands, looking at Angier with a aggrieved expression.

Angier spread his hands, then tugged at his shirt covered in silt and said, "Look at me, do I have the energy to take care of your little flower?"

"Snor~~"

Seeing that Angier was covered in mud by it, Snorlax immediately ignored the little flower, turned its head to the side, pretending that it wasn't the one who caused the trouble.

"You little rascal!" Angier said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

But he suddenly remembered something, so he looked at Bellsprout on the shore and said, "Bellsprout, does this place have an owner?"

Lotus root is food. In the Nibel Plateau, where food is not particularly abundant, it stands to reason that this place cannot be without an owner.

If it has an owner, it would be too presumptuous for them to dig other people's lotus roots here. Before, because he was too eager to dig lotus roots, he didn't consider this issue at all.

"Sprout~ Sprout~~"

Sure enough, after Bellsprout shouted at the puddle, two heads, one large and one small, emerged from the silt not far away.

It was Barboach and Whiscash.

Barboach and Whiscash are the owners of this puddle and lotus root, and also Bellsprout's good friends. The lotus root that Bellsprout gave to Angier was given to it by Barboach and Whiscash.

Seeing the owners appear, Angier quickly apologized to them.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't know this place was owned."

However, Barboach and Whiscash shook their heads, indicating that they were not angry.

This puddle is not big, and because it is a wild variety, the yield of lotus root is indeed not high, but it is inexhaustible for Barboach and Whiscash, so they gave some to Bellsprout.

Moreover, lotus roots grow in silt, and other Pokémon cannot find them, so the extra lotus roots are slowly rotting in the silt every year.

Based on this reason, Barboach and Whiscash don't mind others digging away the extra lotus roots.

Suddenly, Angier had an idea and said, "How about this, Barboach, Whiscash, you give me all the lotus roots here, and you can come to my house for dinner in the future, okay?"

In this way, he can get lotus roots and earn happiness points, which is a win-win situation.

Barboach and Whiscash were stunned when they heard this, but then quickly shook their heads.

Go to a human's house for dinner? They didn't dare.

"Sprout~ Sprout~~"

At this time, Bellsprout gestured to his two good friends, trying to describe how delicious the food Angier made was, trying to persuade his good friends.

But Barboach and Whiscash still shook their heads desperately.

No, no!

Angier suddenly had an idea, "How about this, you come to my house tonight and try the delicacies I make with lotus roots. If you like it, then come to my house often. If you don't like it, then pretend I didn't say anything."

Just now, Angier suddenly thought of a good idea. He wanted to hire Barboach and Whiscash to plant lotus roots for him in this puddle.

The original lotus root variety here is not good and the yield is not high. He can completely buy high-quality lotus root seeds from the system store to replace the wild lotus roots here.

In this way, the same area of water can produce more and better lotus roots. Barboach and Whiscash can completely supply the excess to themselves while leaving enough food for themselves!

The more he thought about it, the more feasible it became, and Angier's eyes became kinder when he looked at Barboach and Whiscash.

Barboach, Whiscash: Does this human want to eat us? His eyes are so scary!

Bellsprout was also trying hard to persuade Barboach and Whiscash. In the end, the two Pokémon couldn't stand the entanglement of their good friend and could only agree to go to Angier's house for dinner tonight.

“Then it's settled.” Ange said happily. He then instructed Bellsprout, “Bellsprout, Mudkip and Whiscash don't know my house, so please take them with you when the time comes.”

“Sprout ~ Sprout ~”

Bellsprout nodded confidently.

Victreebel and Weepinbell were watching from the side with headaches. Was their child lacking in brains? Why was it so obedient to this human!

Then, after Ange got Mudkip and Whiscash's agreement, he and Snorlax continued to dig up lotus roots.

“Grumble ~ Grumble ~” Master, Master, look at me!

Snorlax was rolling around crazily in the mud. After a while, it stood up holding a pile of lotus roots, showing off to Ange.

Ange finally managed to pull out a lotus root, but it broke. Looking at Snorlax's proud appearance, he said enviously and jealously, “Look at all that mud on you. Don't expect me to wash you when we get back.”

“Grumble ~ Grumble ~”

Hearing this, Snorlax immediately restrained the smugness on its face, holding the lotus roots and acting cute next to Ange.

“Okay, okay! Stop rubbing against me, you're getting mud all over me.” Ange quickly pushed Snorlax away, even though he was already covered in mud.

“Sprout ~ Sprout ~”

At this time, Bellsprout also called out to Ange. It stretched out its long vine and stirred in the mud, and immediately a string of lotus roots was brought out.

“Alright, alright, you're all amazing, I'm the only useless one!” Ange stuck his hand into the mud as if to vent his anger, and pulled out a lotus root fiercely.

Flabébé saw Ange, Snorlax, and Bellsprout having fun in the mud, and also stretched out two vines, inserted them into the soil, and then pulled out a string of lotus roots.

“Whoosh ~ Whoosh ~”

Flabébé sent the dirty lotus roots to Ange.

Ange asked in surprise, “Is this for me?”

“Whoosh ~ Whoosh ~”

Flabébé nodded gently.

Ange happily took the lotus roots, “Flabébé, come to my house tonight and try my cooking!”

Ange decided to hold a lotus root banquet tonight, even though he wouldn't get happiness points, but who told him he wanted to?

“Whoosh ~ Whoosh ~”

Flabébé turned its head and flew to the side, continuing to dig lotus roots from the mud with its vines. Ange didn't understand whether it had agreed or not.

Mudkip and Whiscash saw that Ange was having difficulty digging, and for Bellsprout's sake, they also began to help. They were originally Pokémon that lived in the mud, so their efficiency in digging lotus roots was faster than Snorlax and Bellsprout.

Because Mudkip and Whiscash hadn't agreed to exchange lotus roots for the opportunity to eat at Ange's house, Ange didn't dig too much, just enough for tonight.

After finishing, Ange, Snorlax, and Bellsprout moved the lotus roots to a small river connected to the puddle to wash them, otherwise, with the lotus roots covered in mud, Ange would be exhausted just carrying them home.

Not to mention carrying them home, Ange was already so tired that he couldn't straighten his back just carrying them to the river.

This body is really not good!

Ange pounded his waist while directing Snorlax.

“Snorlax, wash off the mud on your body first.”

“Grumble ~” Understood!

Saying that, it jumped into the river with a plop, and the originally clear river water was instantly muddied.

Several Magikarp were originally hidden at the bottom of the river. After the river water was muddied, they were very angry and jumped out of the water to bite Snorlax.

Suddenly, a Magikarp bit Snorlax on its head, arms, belly, and butt.

“Snorlax, you… hahaha ~” Ange was amused by its appearance and laughed.

“Sprout ~ Sprout ~”

Bellsprout even covered its stomach and rolled on the ground laughing.

“Whoosh ~ Whoosh ~”

Flabébé didn't want to laugh at first. It covered its mouth with one hand, trying hard to hold back, but in the end, it couldn't help it and laughed with Bellsprout.

Pui, pui, pui ~

The mud on Snorlax's body was dirty and smelly, and even Magikarp disliked it. After biting a few times, they slapped their tails and fell back into the water, spitting a few mouthfuls of water at Snorlax, and then swaggered away.

Ange, Bellsprout, and Flabébé laughed even harder.

“Grumble ~ Grumble ~”

(ω) Snorlax was simple-minded. Seeing everyone laughing happily, it scratched the back of its head and laughed foolishly with everyone.

After playing enough, Ange also jumped into the water, first scrubbing the mud off his body, then helping Snorlax wash, and finally starting to wash the lotus roots.

The river was not deep, only barely submerging Snorlax's belly. After all, it was not the flood season, and the river water flowed forward gurgling, and the turbidity brought by Ange and the others was washed away in the blink of an eye.

Victreebel and Weepinbell squatted on the grass not far away, not coming forward to help. They quietly watched Ange, Snorlax, and Bellsprout talking and laughing, and Flabébé interjected from time to time. Although Ange couldn't understand the Pokémon language, it didn't seem to hinder their communication.

In their eyes, Ange's smile was so bright and warm that they subconsciously thought: Could a person with such a smile really be a bad person?

Gradually, the two Pokémon fell into confusion.

Soon the lotus roots were washed, and Ange directly put them into the system backpack, then clapped his hands and greeted Snorlax and the others:

“Okay, let's go home.”

Seeing Ange wave his hand and make a pile of things disappear, Snorlax, Bellsprout, Flabébé, Victreebel, and Weepinbell all felt incredible.

“Grumble ~ Grumble ~”

“Sprout ~ Sprout ~”

“Whoosh ~ Whoosh ~”

Snorlax and the others followed behind Ange towards home, gesticulating as if they were asking something.

Ange responded with “Uh-huh” and “Ah-ah”, although he didn't understand what the three little guys were saying.

Ange and the Pokémon separated halfway.

Victreebel and Weepinbell took Bellsprout home, and Flabébé also had to go home.

“Bellsprout! Flabébé! Remember to come to my house for dinner tonight!” Ange shouted at them.

“Sprout ~”

“Whoosh ~”

Bellsprout and Flabébé waved back at Ange. At first, Flabébé was a little afraid of Ange, but after spending some time together, it had completely put that fear behind it.

Diancie sat at the door waiting for Ange and Snorlax. Seeing them return all wet, she quickly asked:

“How did you two get into this state!”

Ange and Snorlax looked at each other and couldn't help but laugh.
