Gourmet master of the Pokemon world

An Jie marveled for only three seconds before seeing the light on the Mythical Pokémon Mew flash, and then it transformed into its dreamy form.

“Mew~ Mew~”

Seeing An Jie successfully overcome the trial and smoothly arrive at the Tree of Beginning, Mew looked very happy. It flew to the top of An Jie's head and circled around him.

“Babu~ Babu~”

Babu the Groundhog jumped up and down, raising its hand to greet Mew.

“Mew~”

Mew flew down, reached out, and gave Babu the Groundhog a high-five.

Weavile wasn't familiar with Mew, so it ran behind An Jie, hugged An Jie's leg, and silently watched Mew interact with the other Pokémon.

While Mew was playing with everyone, An Jie took care of the Aerodactyl's injuries.

“Awoo~” Aerodactyl nodded to An Jie and the others before quickly flapping its wings and disappearing.

Immediately afterward, Mew waved to everyone, leading them toward the interior of the Tree of Beginning.

Although the Tree of Beginning is called a tree, it is essentially a rock-like lifeform. Because a large number of special trees grow on it, it looks very much like a tree overall.

The leaves of those trees are what An Jie was looking for: the leaves of the Tree of Beginning.

They are also essentially a part of the Tree of Beginning. To the Tree of Beginning, they are like human body hair, or the fur and scales of Pokémon.

The interior of the Tree of Beginning contains a large number of spaces, and various Pokémon live in these spaces, which are connected by special passages.

Led by Mew, An Jie and the others passed through a passage and arrived at a space with rivers and forests.

In the clear river water, An Jie saw many, many Omanyte, Omastar, Kabuto, and Kabutops.

These two types of fossil Pokémon, which have already become extinct in the outside world, still live in large numbers inside the Tree of Beginning.

After passing through this space, An Jie and the others walked into another passage. When they came out of this passage, what appeared in front of them was a space full of waterfalls and forests.

Many Swablu and Altaria were flying in the sky above the waterfalls.

An Jie walked to the water's edge, and the Dratini and Dragonair immediately swam over, staring at An Jie with their big eyes, full of curiosity.

It was the first time they had seen a human.

An Jie put his hand into the water, and the Dratini gathered around, licking his palm with their tongues, which was extremely cute.

Their tongues were soft and cool, making An Jie feel very comfortable.

Babu the Groundhog also imitated An Jie and put its hand into the water, but the Dratini did not get as close to Babu the Groundhog as they did to An Jie.

Because Babu the Groundhog's hand carried a weak electric current, the Dratini could sense it, so they were afraid of being shocked.

Suddenly, Babu the Groundhog had a flash of inspiration. It took out the food it had stored from the royal palace banquet from its backpack. Attracted by the food, the Dratini swam ashore and gathered around Babu the Groundhog.

“Mew~ Mew~”

Mew flew to An Jie's side and called out twice. Only then did An Jie realize that the Dragonite they had encountered on the road was actually the leader here.

Leaving the space where the Dragonite lived, An Jie and the others continued to move upward, and then arrived at a space where many Aerodactyl lived.

The Aerodactyl that fought the Komala was the leader here.

Leaving the space where the Aerodactyl lived, An Jie and the others continued to enter the next passage.

Under Mew's leadership, An Jie and the others saw many, many Pokémon living here, all of them attached to the Tree of Beginning, receiving Mew's protection.

In one of the passages, An Jie and the others saw Regice, Regirock, and Registeel, which Ash had mentioned.

The Legendary Titans were very surprised to see An Jie, a human. The light spots on their faces flickered rapidly as they considered whether to expel An Jie.

Fortunately, Mew appeared in time. Seeing that An Jie had come here with Mew's permission, the Legendary Titans turned around and left directly.

Passing through a passage again, An Jie and the others came to the outside.

This was the waist of the Tree of Beginning. From here, An Jie and the others could see the endless mountains and forests in the distance, and could vaguely see the outline of Rota Town.

“Mew~ Mew~”

At this moment, Mew pointed to the leaves of the Tree of Beginning next to it, reminding An Jie not to forget the purpose of coming here.

“I was so engrossed in the scenery that I almost forgot.”

An Jie patted his head and walked to the leaves, carefully observing them with his Eye of Appraisal, wanting to select qualified leaves from among them.

However, the result was that all the leaves here were judged to be sub-par by the Eye of Appraisal.

As soon as Mew saw An Jie's expression, it knew the answer, so it led An Jie and the others back to the passage and continued to move towards the upper layers of the Tree of Beginning.

After passing through several more spaces, An Jie was once again led out of the passage by Mew. This time, they arrived at a higher place on the Tree of Beginning.

An Jie walked to the leaves growing here and looked at them with his Eye of Appraisal, then turned his head and shook his head at Mew.

Mew clenched its fists, looking like it was going to punch An Jie. An Jie smiled helplessly at it.

After Mew playfully waved its fists a few times, it resignedly drooped its shoulders and then continued to lead An Jie upward.

Unknowingly, An Jie and the others arrived at the very top of the Tree of Beginning.

At the highest point of the Tree of Beginning, An Jie saw a patch of trees that looked similar to what he had seen before, yet different.

The moment he saw these trees, his intuition told him that he had found what he was looking for.

An Jie rushed over and opened his Eye of Appraisal. He saw the information of the leaves flash quickly in the Eye of Appraisal.

“Tree of Beginning Leaf, Ordinary Quality, can be used as a special ingredient!”

“Tree of Beginning Leaf, Superior Quality, can be used as a special ingredient!”

“Tree of Beginning Leaf, Excellent Quality, can be used as a special ingredient.”

… …

An Jie looked delighted, finally found it!

The leaves of ordinary Tree of Beginning are dark green, while the leaves here are tender green. The higher the quality, the more tender the color. The leaves of excellent quality are even a tender yellow.

According to An Jie's observation, most of the leaves here are of ordinary quality, a small amount are of superior quality, and excellent quality can only be described as rare.

An Jie immediately took out a basket from his backpack and started picking.

Seeing this, the other Pokémon stepped forward to help, including Mew.

Babu the Groundhog and Weavile secretly started to compete, seeing who could pick faster.

Babu the Groundhog picked a handful and proudly raised its chin at Weavile; Weavile picked two handfuls and gave Babu the Groundhog a provocative look.

The two Pokémon were 'fighting' back and forth, and Loke, who was watching the show from the side, almost laughed out loud.

While picking, An Jie asked Mew: "The leaves here look so special, you failed to pick before several times, why didn't you think of coming here to try?"

“Mew~ Mew~”

Mew said that it hadn't noticed that there was such a place. It usually only cared about playing, how could it pay attention to such trivial details.

Besides, it rarely came to the highest point of the Tree of Beginning.

Unknowingly, everyone picked several baskets of Tree of Beginning leaves. Seeing that it was getting late, An Jie shouted:

“That’s enough, let’s find a place to rest, otherwise it will be dark.”

The Pokémon stopped when they heard this.

An Jie put the baskets full of leaves into his system backpack and asked Mew: "Is it okay for us to stay here for one night?"

“Mew~ Mew~”

Mew nodded, then turned around and flew into the passage, waving to An Jie and the others as it flew, as if it was going to take An Jie and the others somewhere.

Under Mew's leadership, An Jie and the others came to a space that was not very wide.

This space was full of grass, and there was a small pool of water below the grass, and a large tree grew in the center.

Under the big tree were piled up all kinds of toys, presumably all of them were brought by Mew from Rota Town.

An Jie guessed: "Mew, is this your residence?"

“Mew~ Mew~”

Mew squinted and nodded.

An Jie smiled and said: "Then we will disturb you tonight."

“Mew~ Mew~”

Mew nodded happily and asked An Jie to make it something delicious.

An Jie readily said: "No problem, I promised to make you three big meals!"

Mew became even more excited when it heard this, and kept circling around An Jie's head.

At this time, Babu the Groundhog seemed to have discovered something, it shouted and asked An Jie to come over.

An Jie walked over suspiciously, only to see it lying under the big tree in the center of the grass, sticking its butt up and not knowing what it was doing.

“Babu~ Babu~”

Seeing An Jue coming over, Bob the Sandshrew nimbly scrambled up, pointing at a tree hollow beneath a tree with a face full of surprise, and shouting at An Jue.

Magically, that tree hollow was actually shimmering with a verdant green light.

"What is this?" An Jue asked, equally surprised.

"Mew~ Mew~" At this moment, Mew flew to An Jue's side.

After its explanation, An Jue finally understood that this tree hollow was connected to the World Tree's nutrient transport channel.

The nutrient transport channel was related to the health of the World Tree, and if any problems occurred, the entire World Tree would collapse.

At the same time, this channel had a special function, which was that Mew could use it to quickly travel to any part of the World Tree.

Learning that the tree hollow was so important, An Jue quickly pulled Bob the Sandshrew away, telling it not to get too close, lest something happen.

An Jue had heard Xiao Zhi talk about how terrifying it was when the World Tree had problems.

"Mew~ Mew~"

However, Mew told An Jue that it was okay for them to touch it.

The World Tree would not have an excessive or repulsive reaction to two types of creatures.

One was Pokémon.

The other was humans who had awakened their Aura power.

Only now did An Jue realize that even if he had come to the World Tree directly without Mew's permission, he wouldn't have triggered the World Tree's rejection as Xiao Zhi had said.

Because he possessed Aura power, and the World Tree was close to Aura power.

Even Xiao Zhi didn't know about this.

It was precisely because An Jue had awakened his Aura that Mew was so easily able to get close to An Jue, because it and the World Tree were symbiotic.

"Mew~ Mew~"

Mew beckoned to An Jue, then, to An Jue's surprise, it drilled into the tree hollow, and then poked its head out again.

"Are you asking us to come together?" An Jue asked.

"Mew~ Mew~" Mew nodded, squinting its eyes.

An Jue walked to the tree hollow, and Mew immediately retracted its head, while An Jue slowly poked his head inside.

Immediately, he saw a magical scene.

In the upward passage, green energy flowed, and at the same time, deep green spheres were floating upwards rapidly.

Mew was currently lying on a green sphere, bouncing up and down.

An Jue drilled into the tree hollow, and with a leap, jumped onto a green sphere, but because he didn't stand firm, he almost fell off, scaring him into quickly imitating Mew's posture and lying on it.

Bob the Sandshrew outside saw that An Jue had disappeared, and quickly drilled into the tree hollow as well.

Then, Sneasel, Loke, and Metagross with a Komala on its head also drilled in one after another.

After entering the tree hollow, everyone felt very novel, and they all lay on the green spheres, then controlled the green spheres to bump into each other, just like playing bumper cars, having a great time.

Even the usually mature and steady Metagross couldn't help but bounce up and down on the green sphere.

Seeing Mew use the green sphere under it to bump into An Jue, almost knocking An Jue off the green sphere, Bob the Sandshrew secretly looked at Sneasel, then revealed a mischievous smile.

Taking advantage of Sneasel's inattention, it controlled the green sphere and slammed into it.

However, what it didn't expect was that Sneasel was already on guard against it, and when Bob the Sandshrew crashed over, Sneasel twisted its body, skillfully dodging the green sphere.

Bob the Sandshrew crashed into empty air, and just as it stabilized the green sphere under it, it saw Sneasel already crashing over.

After a burst of violent shaking, the green sphere flung Bob the Sandshrew out.

"Bob~ Bob~"

Bob the Sandshrew screamed and fell downwards, but then it was immediately bumped up by another rapidly rising green sphere.

"Bob~ Bob~"

Bob the Sandshrew patted its chest with lingering fear, and everyone was amused by its embarrassed appearance and laughed.

Of course, the one laughing the loudest was naturally Sneasel.

Through the nutrient channel, An Jue and the others were taken by Mew to visit many spaces inhabited by Pokémon.

In some spaces, a large number of Farfetch'd, which were almost extinct outside, lived, either flying in the air in groups or lining up to drink water by the river, looking leisurely and content.

In some spaces, rare Pokémon Kangaskhan, which were rarely seen outside, lived, carrying Baby Kangaskhan in their pouches, either walking on the grassland or foraging in the forest.

There were also spaces where Slowking-led Slowpoke tribes lived, with a large group of Slowpoke floating on the water, all bowing down to the Slowking on the stone in the center of the water, which was very ritualistic.

In one of the spaces, An Jue also saw groups of Chansey.

The Chansey were very gentle, and whenever injured Pokémon came to them, they would kindly use healing waves or life dew to treat the injured.

For Pokémon enthusiasts, this was simply paradise!

If the timing wasn't wrong, An Jue really wanted to exchange some eggs from the Chansey, that was a super rare ingredient!

When they were tired of playing, Mew took An Jue and the others back to its residence.

Then An Jue began to prepare dinner.

After thinking about it, An Jue teleported Diancie, Munchlax, Inteleon, Gengar, Magearna, Volcanion, and Passimian from home.

He really missed everyone after not seeing them for so long.

Since leaving home, he had never summoned the Pokémon from home to his side even once.

Of course, the Pokémon at home also missed An Jue just as much.

"Munch~"

"Geng~"

"In-te-leon~"

Munchlax, Gengar, and Inteleon all pounced into An Jue's arms the moment they were teleported over.

An Jue was instantly knocked to the ground by them.

"Munch~ Munch~" Master! Master! I missed you so much!

Munchlax hugged An Jue's waist, rubbing its head vigorously against his chest, with an expression on its face that couldn't be more aggrieved.

Master hadn't summoned it even once.

"Geng~ Geng~"

"In-te-leon~ In-te-leon~"

Gengar hugged An Jue's head, while Inteleon wrapped its arms around An Jue's neck, similarly expressing their longing for and complaints about An Jue.

Why didn't you summon everyone?!

An Jue patted their heads one by one, "Good, I missed you all very much too! Didn't I summon you here now? I'll try to summon you more often in the future."

"Munch~" It's a deal.

Munchlax looked up at An Jue and said.

"It's a deal, it's a deal." An Jue repeatedly assured.

After a round of "mutual confessions," An Jue began cooking with the help of his three disciples, while the other Pokémon played with Mew.

Mew had collected all kinds of toys, like Squirtle spinning tops, Hitmontop yo-yos... Some of them were quite old, and no one knew when Mew had collected them.

Soon everyone became familiar with Mew, and the sounds of their laughter and chatter filled the space.

Mew was active among the Pokémon, introducing the various ways to play with the toys.

On An Jue's side, with the help of his three disciples, he quickly prepared dinner, and his family, along with Mew, Loke, and Sneasel, sat together, chatting and eating, making it extremely lively.

Mew had never had such a lively meal before, so its emotions were always particularly high, and every two bites, it would fly up from its seat, chat with everyone for a few words, and then sit down again.

There was also Sneasel, who was trying to please An Jue in order to one day eat the delicious food made by An Jue.

Unexpectedly, that day came so quickly.

Looking at the table full of sumptuous food, its eyes almost couldn't keep up, but the warm-hearted Munchlax took care of it, constantly picking food for it, and it finally knew which dish to start with.

During the meal, Munchlax was always particularly careful to take care of Sneasel, the new member.

Because of this, Sneasel had a particularly good impression of Munchlax, and its attitude towards it was completely different from its attitude towards Bob the Sandshrew.

Whenever Munchlax looked at Sneasel, Sneasel always smiled, with an incomparably kind expression.

Although it Sneasel held grudges, it was also grateful.

After dinner, An Jue spread out a soft, thick, and wide blanket in Mew's home, and everyone lay down lazily.

After sitting for a while, An Jue took out the World Tree leaves from his system backpack, and then classified them according to their quality.

Munchlax, Inteleon, Gengar, Magearna, and Passimian came to help.

An Jue said, "Can you help me wash the leaves that I've sorted out clean?"

The five Pokémon nodded at the same time.
