Gourmet master of the Pokemon world

During lunch, An Jie announced to everyone that he was going to the Kanto region to search for the World's First Tree.

Everyone knew that An Jie was going to Kanto to help Xerneas, so they didn't object.

"Protean, I need you to support the Snorlax House while I'm away. Work hard, and I'll be back as soon as possible," An Jie said to his second disciple.

Protean made an OK gesture to An Jie, indicating that he had no problem, and said:

"In tee ~ In tee ~" Master, take your time, no need to rush.

An Jie nodded in relief upon hearing this.

The excellent performance of Protean in the Snorlax House had already been reported to him by Meowstic.

An Jie was naturally proud that his disciple could stand alone.

My son has finally grown up!

At this moment, Diancie asked, "Who are you planning to take to the Kanto region?"

An Jie thought for a moment, "Take Komala, Metagross, and Sandygast, I guess."

Everyone else has work to do and it's inconvenient for them to come with him. Besides, he can summon them from home at any time, so there's no need to bring them all.

"Meta ~" I have no problem.

"Sandygast ~" I want to go, I want to go!

Suddenly Magearna said, looking at Volcanion as she spoke:

"Du ~ ki ~ du ~" Volcanion, you have no problem with that, right?

Volcanion, who was buried in his meal, raised his head and said with a look of arrogance, "If it's Magearna's request, of course I have no problem."

An Jie shook his head upon hearing this and said, "Volcanion, stay at home. The climate of the Nebel Plateau is like spring all year round because of you. If you leave, it won't be good if the climate of the plateau changes."

"Duki ~" That's true.

Magearna nodded.

If the climate changes, the Pokémon on the Nebel Plateau may not be able to adapt.

Volcanion snorted coldly, pretending to be disdainful, "Hmph, I don't want to go anyway!"

Magearna smiled and took the liberty of deciding for Volcanion:

"Du ~ ki ~ du ~" An Jie, you can summon it at any time if you need it.

"Hmph ~" Volcanion snorted again, which was regarded as acquiescing to Magearna's words.

In the afternoon, An Jie began to pack the things he needed for the trip. In addition to changes of clothes, cooking utensils and all kinds of ingredients were also essential.

That way, if he needed to cook on his own during the journey, he wouldn't have to worry at all.

Diancie helped An Jie prepare while saying, "If something happens, you must summon me in time."

An Jie said with a smile, "I know, I will."

In the evening, after An Jie received the rewards for his daily tasks, he was about to get into bed when he suddenly heard a knock on the door.

He got out of bed and opened the door, only to see Snorlax wearing pajamas and standing at the door with a pillow in his arms.

"Gang ~ Gang ~" Master, can I sleep with you tonight?

Snorlax said shyly. Master will be leaving early tomorrow morning, and he doesn't know how long it will be before he comes back. He is very reluctant to part.

An Jie smiled and said, "Of course, come in quickly."

As he spoke, he made way for Snorlax to enter the door.

"Gang ~ Gang ~"

Snorlax walked to An Jie's bed with brisk steps, then lifted the quilt and rolled in. He grinned and patted the side, saying:

"Gang ~ Gang ~" Master, come over here quickly.

An Jie smiled and walked over, lay down next to Snorlax, covered him with the quilt, and said to him, "Good night, Snorlax."

"Gang ~" Good night, Master.

Then, the master and disciple fell into a dream one after another.

An Jie got up early the next morning. He first went to Wangcheng with Protean and them, and then took a flight to the Kanto region in Wangcheng.

About two days later, An Jie took Sandygast off the aircraft and set foot in one of the major cities of the Pokémon world—Saffron City.

Saffron City is the largest and most prosperous city in the Kanto region, located in the center of Cerulean City, Celadon City, Vermilion City, and Lavender Town.

This place is very special because it rarely has two Gyms.

One is the Psychic Gym, and the Gym Leader is a very famous and powerful psychic, Sabrina.

One is the Fighting Gym, and the Gym Leader is the fighter Kiyo.

However, there is only one Gym officially recognized by the League, and that is Sabrina's Psychic Gym.

Kiyo lost to Sabrina in the battle for the official Gym qualification, so he entered Mt. Mortar near Saffron City to practice.

He still accepts challenges from challengers, and even after the challengers win, they can also receive a Tyrogue from him.

The premise is that you can find him in Mt. Mortar.

In addition, the headquarters of a large company in the Pokémon world, Silph Co., is also located here.

Silph Co. is the leader in manufacturing technology in the Pokémon world.

Now An Jie needs to take the Maglev train from Saffron City to Pewter City, and then from Pewter City to Rota.

Rota is near Pewter City.

"Let me see where we are going to take the Maglev train!" An Jie said, checking the mobile phone navigation.

Sandygast grabbed An Jie's trouser legs with his small hands, looking at the bustling Saffron City with unease and curiosity. This city is completely different from Azoth Kingdom.

Komala and Metagross were both taken into the Poké Balls by An Jie.

In order to relieve his tension, Sandygast took out a piece of cake and ate it. His system backpack was filled with many of Magearna's previous trial products.

After Magearna became a pastry chef, the happiest person in the family was Sandygast.

Soon An Jie found out the route. Just as he was about to go to take the bus, a voice calling him suddenly came from behind.

"An Jie!"

An Jie looked back and saw Steven looking at him with a look of surprise.

"Steven?" An Jie also looked surprised.

"It's really you!" Steven ran to An Jie excitedly, "Why are you in Kanto?"

An Jie replied, "I have something to do, and I happened to pass by Saffron City. What about you? Why are you also in the Kanto region."

Steven smiled and said, "Come and talk about some business cooperation with Silph Co.."

"So that's how it is."

An Jie suddenly realized that the person in front of him was not only the champion of the Hoenn League, but also the son of one of the world's leading companies, Devon Corporation.

Steven stretched his head and looked behind An Jie, "Where's Diancie? Didn't Diancie come with you?"

An Jie shook his head, "Diancie is at home."

Steven looked disappointed upon hearing this, "That's a pity."

An Jie couldn't help laughing when he heard this, "Do you like Diancie so much?"

Steven said as a matter of course, "Of course, stones are a man's romance."

"That's right!" Suddenly An Jie seemed to have remembered something, and patted his forehead and said to Steven, "In that case, let me give you a gift!"

As he spoke, he pretended to rummage through his backpack, and soon pulled out a brocade box, handing it to Steven Stone.

"This is…" Steven Stone接过锦盒疑惑地问道.

Angie mysteriously said, "You'll know when you open it."

With a puzzled heart, Steven Stone opened the brocade box, only to see a huge pink diamond lying inside, its dazzling light almost blinding him.

"This is…" He quickly handed the brocade box back, "This is too precious, I can't accept it."

Diamonds of this level are treasures, especially pink ones.

Angie blinked and smiled, "Really don't want it? This was made by Diancie."

Since Diancie has been able to create sacred diamonds, the diamonds it creates can exist forever.

To be honest, if Angie wanted money now, he could get rich immediately just by selling a diamond.

However, he didn't do so, and he still felt more at ease using the money he earned honestly through sweat.

Moreover, once a large number of pink diamonds flood the market, diamonds will become worthless.

Therefore, Angie never thought about making money by selling diamonds.

However, it's okay to use them as gifts for friends.

Friendship is a diamond!

Hearing Angie's words, Steven Stone suddenly clenched the box containing the diamond, with a look of reluctance on his face.

Angie patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, with Diancie around, I can have as many of these diamonds as I want."

"Alright! Then I won't be polite."

With that, Steven Stone solemnly put the diamond into his backpack.

Steven Stone thought for a while and said, "No, I can't feel right if I accept something so valuable from you without giving you something in return."

Angie waved his hand and said, "I told you this is nothing to me, you don't need to…"

"Hey! Don't rush to refuse!" With that, he took Angie's hand, "Come with me!"

Angie was pulled by him and quickly walked in one direction.

"Bubo ~"

Bubo hurriedly chased after Angie.

Under Steven Stone's lead, Angie arrived at a botanical garden hidden in the center of Saffron City.

The botanical garden was lush with greenery, like an oasis in the middle of the high-rise buildings of Saffron City. Even just standing at the entrance, Angie felt a fresh breath coming towards him.

"This is…" Angie asked suspiciously.

Steven Stone introduced, "This is the botanical garden my family built in Saffron City. It houses many Grass-type Pokémon."

With that, he stepped inside, and Angie followed closely behind.

As soon as Angie entered the botanical garden, he saw a group of Hoppip flying towards him.

Seeing Angie and the others, the Hoppip even circled above their heads.

Passing through the grassy area at the entrance, Angie and Steven Stone walked into a corridor planted with many potted plants. Just as Angie approached the potted plants, a head suddenly popped out of the soil, startling Angie.

He took a closer look and realized that some of the flower pots were not planted with potted plants at all, but with Oddish.

"Hahaha ~ ~" Angie's reaction amused Steven Stone next to him.

"Na Zou ~ Na Zou ~"

As Steven Stone's laughter rang out, one Oddish after another pulled their heads out of the flower pots, looking at Angie and Steven Stone with curious eyes.

The Oddish here were obviously carefully cultivated, and each one grew quite strong, with green and plump leaves on their heads.

Passing through the potted plant corridor, Angie also saw the Fomantis and Lurantis that are only found in the Alola region.

Steven Stone introduced, "This botanical garden not only cultivates a large number of Grass-type Pokémon from the Kanto region, but also specifically introduces some Grass-type Pokémon from other regions."

Angie nodded upon hearing this.

Not far from the Lurantis and Fomantis, a cherry blossom tree bloomed brilliantly, and a Bayleef was lying under the tree, dozing off.

In order not to disturb the Bayleef, Angie and Steven Stone unconsciously lightened their footsteps.

Along the way, Angie also saw a Venusaur leading a group of Ivysaur and Bulbasaur.

The Bulbasaur were round and chubby, and they would even fall while walking. The way they rolled around on the grass was especially adorable.

After walking for a while, Angie finally saw the reward that Steven Stone was talking about.

It turned out to be a Tropius.

Tropius, the Fruit Pokémon, Grass and Flying type. It grows fruit similar to bananas on its neck, which is sweet and delicious and very popular.

In warm climates, there are also ranches that specialize in raising Tropius, such as the Alola region.

Steven Stone waved to the staff in the botanical garden, and the staff quickly walked over. After Steven Stone whispered a few words to him, he quickly ran to put the Tropius into a Poké Ball.

After he came back, he handed the Poké Ball to Steven Stone, who then gave the Poké Ball to Angie.

Angie asked, "Really giving it to me?"

Steven Stone nodded and said, "You are a chef, Tropius should be useful to you, right?"

Angie nodded. If he had a Tropius, Magearna would be able to use the fruit on its neck to make even more delicious desserts.

The 《Dessert Compendium》 unlocked by the system records advanced recipes for making desserts using the fruit on Tropius's neck.

"Then I'll accept it."

With that, Steven Stone directly stuffed the Poké Ball into Angie's hands.

"Then I won't be polite."

Angie didn't act coy and generously accepted the Tropius.

Angie released the Tropius, "Tropius, please take care of me from now on!"

"Mew ~" Tropius squinted its eyes and nodded at Angie.

Because he had to rush to Pewter City, Angie bid farewell to Steven Stone after leaving the botanical garden.

"You're leaving already?" Steven Stone looked reluctant. He was still thinking about taking the opportunity to taste Angie's cooking.

Angie said helplessly, "I have urgent matters to attend to, so I can't delay."

"Alright! Then let's get together again when we have the chance."

Steven Stone said with a smile.

Angie nodded, "When you go to Kalos again, I'll definitely treat you to a big meal!"

Steven Stone said with anticipation, "That's a promise, I'll definitely go."

"It's a deal!"

After separating from Steven Stone, Angie took the Maglev train to Pewter City.

The speed of the Maglev train was very fast. Although Pewter City was a distance from Saffron City, Angie still only spent less than an hour to reach his destination.

When he arrived at Pewter City, the first thing Angie did was go to the Pokémon Center to send the Tropius back home.

He was going to search for the Tree of Beginning, and it would be inconvenient to bring Tropius along the way.

Of course, Angie's home didn't have a teleportation device, so he called Jerami and asked Jerami to go to the Pokémon Center in the Azoth Kingdom to receive it, and then send the Tropius to the Nibel Plateau.

After sending away Tropius, Angie set off from Pewter City to Rota.

Rota is located in the mountains north of Pewter City and Mt. Moon. Like the Azoth Kingdom, it retains the form of kingdom autonomy. The royal city is the Oldoran Castle located in the center of Rota.
