Gourmet master of the Pokemon world

Chapter 167: Mew, Stealing is Wrong~

After the battle with Ayaka, Anji saw that it was getting late, so he didn't accept any more challenges.

Having won so many badges, he should be able to rank in the top 16, right? As long as he can get into the top 16 and get the chance to enter the royal palace, the ranking doesn't matter.

Afterwards, Anji took his Pokémon back to the competition registration office and handed in the badges.

In fact, the rules of this kind of competition are not strict, and it is easy for players to cheat.

However, this competition is just for entertainment. Winning it only gives a symbolic title. There is no prize money, and it cannot improve reputation or prestige. It is meaningless to cheat to win the championship.

So no one is stupid enough to cheat. If they are exposed, there will be no benefits, and their reputation will be ruined. That would be embarrassing.

After handing in the badges, Anji just had to wait for the results to be announced tomorrow.

After leaving the registration office, Anji took his Pokémon to the Pokémon Center, planning to stay there tonight.

Loke smiled and said, "You're welcome."

When they arrived at the Pokémon Center, Anji first took the Pokémon to have a big meal.

Loke was a little disappointed that the food wasn't made by Anji himself. After separating from Anji, it wouldn't be able to eat the food made by Anji.

However, Anji gave Loke a surprise in the evening. He borrowed the Pokémon Center's kitchen to make a midnight snack for everyone.

After eating the midnight snack, Anji took the Pokémon to have some fun for a while, and then went to sleep.

However, what Anji didn't know was that not long after he fell asleep, a Noctowl flapped its wings and landed on the balcony of his room, and then transformed into an Aipom.

The Aipom stood on the balcony railing, staring at Anji's room through the glass and darkness for a while, then jumped off the balcony and disappeared into the darkness in the blink of an eye.

The next morning, after Anji took his Pokémon to eat breakfast, he walked towards the registration office from yesterday.

After he arrived there, he found that many people had already gathered there. Their purpose was the same as Anji's, to see if they had advanced.

The list of those who advanced was posted on the wall outside the registration office. Anji saw his name at a glance.

Second place.

First place was Ayaka.

Anji wasn't surprised. Although he cleverly defeated many trainers yesterday, he registered much later than others. It was already a surprise to get second place in the preliminaries.

"Only second place!" Loke was a little disappointed.

It could read, so it saw Anji's ranking at a glance.

More than two hundred years ago, Loke had studied with its master. With its intelligence, reading was a very simple matter.

"Bubu~ Bubu~"

Bubuo was also very unconvinced. Only second place? It worked so hard yesterday!

Anji wasn't surprised that Loke could read. He smiled and said, "It's not easy to get second place. Have you forgotten when we registered?"

Loke nodded, acknowledging the result.

Then Anji went to the registration office to collect his invitation. Those who advanced could get an invitation. Without an invitation, they couldn't enter the royal palace.

Spectators can also enter the arena to watch the competition, but they need to buy tickets. After all, the royal family also needs to generate revenue.

Unfortunately, Anji was late. Ticket sales for spectators ended long before the preliminaries started. Otherwise, he wouldn't have had to participate in the competition so hard.

After receiving the invitation, Anji took the Pokémon to the entrance of the royal palace again. This time, with the invitation, the guards finally didn't stop him.

The final will be held at nine o'clock in the morning. Spectators and players must enter the arena for registration before nine o'clock.

There are special maids and servants in the royal palace to lead the contestants and spectators, to prevent them from wandering around and getting lost in the royal palace.

After being taken to the arena, Anji and Loke came to an empty corner, and then quietly said to Loke:

"I'll leave the rest to you."

Loke nodded, and then another Anji appeared beside it. This Anji was of course a phantom created by it using superpowers.

Since Loke could transform into a young girl Loke, it could naturally transform into Anji. So Anji had discussed it with it last night, asking it to create a phantom to replace Anji in the competition, while Anji himself would secretly look for Mew in the royal palace.

As for the result of the competition, that was not important. Anji told Loke to do whatever it wanted.

After explaining to Loke, Anji and Loke separated.

Loke and the phantom Anji waited together in the waiting room of the arena, waiting for the competition to begin.

Anji secretly slipped out of the arena and quietly looked for Mew in the royal palace.

A large number of Pokémon are also raised in the royal palace. Many Butterfree are flying in the garden, and Pidgey and Swellow are singing on the branches.

Which one is Mew? It will take some effort to find it.

Through the power of aura, Anji can sense the guards, maids, servants, etc. in the royal palace from a distance, and then accurately avoid them.

"Lompa ba~ Lompa ba~"

Suddenly Anji heard a cheerful music. He followed the sound and came to a lotus pond. A Ludicolo was standing on the shore singing and dancing, while Lotad and Lombre in the pond were watching it.

These Pokémon are probably used to seeing people, so even when they saw Anji's arrival, they were not afraid at all and were still busy with their own affairs.

Anji used aura to sense everything, and after not finding Mew, he walked along the river bank for a while.

After walking for a while, he was suddenly attracted by an active Pokémon in the sky above the lotus pond.

The Pokémon stretched out its feet and stepped on the lotus leaves that were close to the water, making a crisp and pleasant laugh. Who else could it be but Mew?

This time it didn't transform into other Pokémon.

Learning from the last lesson, Anji didn't rashly alarm Mew this time, but quietly approached it.

But Mew is a psychic Pokémon, and its perception is extremely敏锐. Anji noticed it as soon as he approached.

Seeing that Mew saw him, Anji immediately wanted to call it, but Mew didn't give him a chance at all. It turned into a Spearow at an extremely fast speed, flapped its wings and flew away.

In the royal palace, Anji couldn't chase after it with great fanfare, so he could only watch Mew fly away.

However, he noticed that Mew went in the direction of the clock tower in the distance, so he quietly sneaked over.

Soon he arrived at the bottom of the clock tower.

The clock tower in front of him is very old. It should be a building that has existed for a long time. There are no guards patrolling around, and no servants can be seen.

It seems that this should be the deserted area of the royal palace.

Ange saw that the gate of the clock tower was open, so he first took out a Poké Ball to release Burtobol and Komala, then held Komala in his arms, and then walked into the clock tower with Burtobol.

The first floor of the clock tower was empty, with nothing at all.

As soon as Ange entered, the gate of the clock tower slammed shut, and at the same time, the entire space on the first floor became dim.

"Burtobol ~" Burtobol was so frightened that he hugged Ange's leg tightly.

"Hee hee hee ~ ~"

"Hee hee hee ~ ~"

A series of terrifying laughter echoed around Ange.

Ange remained unmoved, silently observing the surrounding situation.

Boom! ! !

Suddenly, clusters of ghostly blue flames appeared out of thin air, swirling around Ange. Burtobol subconsciously released Electric Shock, and currents of electricity spread out, striking the ghostly flames and dispersing them all.

Of course, Ange, who was holding Burtobol, was also affected by the Electric Shock.

Fortunately, he was very strong, and Burtobol's Electric Shock did limited damage to him.

At this moment, a Pokémon with a purple body, wearing a mage's robe and a mage's hat, suddenly appeared. It made a terrifying expression and let out a strange "Jie Jie Jie" laugh.

It was Mismagius.

Four Misdreavus were also surrounding Mismagius, and they were also baring their teeth and trying to scare Ange.

However, Ange remained unmoved. He calmly said, "Mew, is this fun?"

Mismagius paused in its grimace, and then the surroundings returned to light, the ghostly flames disappeared, and even the little Misdreavus disappeared.

It turned out that all of this was an illusion created by Mismagius, or rather, Mew.

Realizing that its identity had been discovered, Mew, still in the form of Mismagius, quickly disappeared into the air.

"Mew, wait!"

Ange shouted, but Mew ignored him.

Mew often comes to Rota Town to play, but very few people have seen it, which shows that it will not easily come into contact with people.

Seeing this, Ange quickly ran to the second floor. He could sense that Mew had not gone far.

"Burtobol ~ Burtobol ~" Burtobol hurriedly followed.

When they reached the second floor and found no Mew, Ange chased after it to the third floor, and then to the fourth floor... finally, they followed all the way to the top floor.

The top floor of the clock tower was an attic. Perhaps because no one had been there for too long, it exuded a musty smell.

Ange sensed that Mew was here. Its position was constantly changing, so Ange couldn't lock on to it for a while, so he could only say to the air:

"Mew, I have something I want to ask you for help with. Can you please come out and see me?"

"Burtobol ~ Burtobol ~"

Burtobol also helped Ange call for Mew.

However, after a long time, Mew showed no intention of appearing.

Yeah, you don't even think about who you are. Why should Mew come out to see you? Ange thought.

However, he could sense that Mew had not left, but was silently observing him.

After thinking for a while, Ange seemed to have thought of something, and his eyes suddenly lit up. Then, he began to take things out of his backpack.

He is a chef! At this time, he should do what a chef should do.

Stove, iron net, seasoning, vegetables, meat... In a short while, a cloth spread out in front of Ange was filled with things.

Burtobol looked at these things in confusion and asked, "Burtobol ~ Burtobol ~" Are we going to eat here?

Ange nodded and said, "That's right!"

Burtobol was strange, it wasn't lunchtime yet.

Ange started to skewer the ingredients in front of him one by one with bamboo sticks, then brushed them with seasoning, lit the stove, and started grilling.

That's right, what Ange was going to make was barbecue!

Sizzle!

As skewers of meat were grilled, a rich aroma began to float in the attic. The smell was so overbearing, drilling straight into people's nostrils, as if inviting your stomach.

Crunch ~ Crunch ~

Burtobol sniffed hard, anxiously turning around Ange, asking every now and then:

"Burtobol ~ Burtobol ~" Is it ready yet?

Even the always calm Komala was anxiously rolling back and forth on the cloth at this moment.

Ange smiled and said, "It'll be ready soon."

Of course, the saddest one at the moment was Mew! It hid in the dark, swirling back and forth in the air following the aroma, leaning closer to Ange for a while, and then quickly moving away, which was extremely contradictory.

Because the aroma of the barbecue was so strong, even the Pokémon outside were attracted. Before long, Pokémon were poking their heads in from the skylight of the attic one after another.

There were Pidgey, Swellow, Butterfree, Spinarak, Natu, Jumpluff, Misdreavus, and so on.

Seeing this, Ange waved to the Pokémon and said, "Do you want to eat? Come down!"

Hearing this, the Pokémon immediately cheered and jumped down from the skylight, gathering on the cloth spread out by Ange.

Soon the grilled skewers were ready, and Ange distributed them to the Pokémon present. The Pokémon had been waiting impatiently for a long time. After taking the grilled skewers, they immediately couldn't wait to eat them.

The grilled skewers made by Ange were so delicious that the Pokémon all let out exclamations one after another as soon as they ate them.

In a short while, the entire attic was filled with the sounds of Pokémon eating.

Seeing that everyone had something to eat, but it didn't, Mew was so anxious! It hid its figure, flying up and down back and forth, amusing Ange, who could sense its position.

Finally, Mew couldn't resist the ultimate temptation of the food, quietly transformed into an Aipom, and sneaked into the group of Pokémon, then reached out its hand to the grilled skewers.

Just as it grabbed the bamboo skewer, Ange turned to look at it and said with a smile, "Mew, stealing is not a good habit."

Mew thought: What if I steal!

It was normal for Mew to steal things. Things were often lost in Rota Town, sometimes food, sometimes toys, basically all Mew's work.

However, the legend of Mew is circulating in Rota Town. The little toys lost at home must have been taken away by Mew, and the disasters and bad luck in the house were also taken away with the little toys.

So if something is missing at home, people will not only not be angry, but will be very happy.

Mew never takes important things from other people's homes.

Seeing the Aipom transformed by Mew with a justified expression, Ange smiled. He took more grilled skewers and put them in front of Mew, "Eat, there are many."

Of course, Mew would not be polite, one skewer in its left hand and one skewer in its right hand, eating so happily!

"Mew ~ Mew ~" Delicious! Delicious! So delicious!

Mew was instantly conquered by the taste of the grilled skewers.
