Gourmet master of the Pokemon world

Chapter 182: So… why exactly did Yveltal change its mind?

The two Legendary Pokémon stared at each other for a moment, then Xerneas said, "Let's go back!"

Ange asked in confusion, "Aren't you going to talk about something?"

Xerneas said, "Everything that needs to be said has been said."

Ange: "Is that so? The way you Legendary Pokémon communicate is truly special."

When Ange and the others returned home, Inteleon brought Indeedee and the others back from the Royal Capital.

Seeing this, Ange said, "Then let's start making lunch!"

As he spoke, Ange led Munchlax into the kitchen.

Because Inteleon had been extremely busy at the store all morning, Ange didn't let it help with making lunch, but instead told it to rest well.

Also, Gengar had to go to the store to work in the evening and would definitely be exhausted, so Ange didn't let it help either.

As the reputation of the Munchlax Home Noodles restaurant gradually spread, the business at the store was also especially good in the evening, and Gengar wasn't much more relaxed than Second Brother.

Soon, Ange and Munchlax had made a large table full of dishes.

There were pan-fried fish pieces. The fish was Blubber Cod's blubber. After frying, the outside was golden, the inside was snow-white, and it was fragrant. Just looking at it made people swallow their saliva.

There were also steamed egg dumplings. The dumpling skin was made from Chansey's egg liquid, and the dumpling filling was made from Ange's own raised pork, mixed with the green onions from the Farfetch'd breed.

The pork was marinated with a small amount of broad bean paste. After steaming, it was so fresh that people could swallow their tongues.

There was also Stir-fried Beef Cubes with Rolling Beans. The emerald green beans were dotted in the middle of the brown beef cubes, making people feel pleasing to the eye.

Ange's family raised few cattle, and it wasn't yet to the point where they could be eaten, so he bought the beef from the Royal Capital, spending a lot of money, and it was also of the highest quality.

Azoth didn't produce much beef. It was said that this top-quality beef was airlifted from the Alola region.

Moreover, before the beef cubes were put into the pot for stir-frying, Ange also marinated them with his own broad bean paste, so the deliciousness was unimaginable.

Next was Scrambled Eggs with Tomatoes. The tomatoes were grown in Ange's family's vegetable garden, and the eggs were Chansey's eggs. Although the dishes were ordinary, the food made was not ordinary, red and colorful, with both color and flavor.

In addition, there were also Sweet and Sour Pork Ribs, Stir-fried Eggplant Strips, Smashed Cucumber, Garlic Water Spinach, Earthly Delights, Tofu Casserole, and so on.

Mew looked at this table of dishes, drooling three thousand feet.

At its home, Ange had also made it big meals, but because of limited conditions, it couldn't be as rich as it was now.

Xerneas's food was fixed with World Tree Tofu. It could eat World Tree Tofu with other dishes.

Yveltal wasn't there, so Ange specially left a portion for it, planning to send it over after finishing the meal, as it hadn't returned yet.

Yveltal's normal routine was to go out for a pleasant flight in the morning, return for lunch at noon, and then start resting, resting until the evening.

When it was late at night, it would continue to soar in the night sky, surrounded by Murkrow and Honchkrow, until it returned to the bar in the early morning.

After the sumptuous lunch, Xerneas, Diancie, and Magearna went out to play together. Munchlax and Inteleon also didn't know where they had run off to.

Because Gengar had to work in the evening, it was preparing materials in the kitchen.

Needless to say, Komala went to the distillery with Passimian after putting down its bowl. Since Passimian came to Nibel Plateau, it had almost lived in the distillery.

So Ange and Sandy Shocks each carried a basket and went to deliver food to Yveltal together.

When they arrived at the gate of the bar, Mew suddenly bid farewell to him.

Although Mew was playful and greedy, it didn't forget its mission. It had to guard the Tree of Beginning and protect the Pokémon living in the Tree of Beginning.

Ange didn't feel reluctant or try to persuade it to stay, because there was no need. With the space channel, Mew could come over to play at any time, and Ange could go over to see it at any time.

Ange touched Mew's head and said, "Go ahead, go ahead. I'll go see you when I have time."

"Mew~"

Mew nodded, then plunged into the space channel and disappeared.

Ange and Sandy Shocks had just placed the lunch on the table when Yveltal returned with the Honchkrow.

Looking at the Honchkrow and Murkrow surrounding Yveltal, Ange said with a smile, "Have you all become Yveltal's little brothers?"

"Gaa gaa~ ~"

"Yami~ yami~"

The Honchkrow and Murkrow proudly puffed out their chests, not feeling that there was anything wrong with being Yveltal's little brothers.

Ange patted Honchkrow's neck, "I didn't expect you to have this day."

Before Yveltal came, Honchkrow was like a grandfather all day long, and the Murkrow were so diligent in serving it.

Now that the positions were reversed, Honchkrow had become the same as the Murkrow in front of Yveltal.

"Gaa~"

Honchkrow raised its head. Hmph~ Don't interfere with the affairs of the gods and their little brothers.

Then it diligently jumped in front of Yveltal, serving tea and water, and serving food. The Murkrow followed suit, surrounding Yveltal and showing great hospitality.

Yveltal didn't need to eat by itself at all. It just needed to lie there quietly, and then open its mouth, and the Murkrow and Honchkrow would serve it thoughtfully and properly.

Several Murkrow were specially assigned to groom Yveltal's feathers.

However, Ange soon understood the reason why the Honchkrow and Murkrow were so attentive to Yveltal.

After Yveltal finished enjoying lunch, Honchkrow took out a small handkerchief and flew forward to wipe Yveltal's mouth intimately.

Then Ange saw wisps of black energy pouring out from Yveltal's body.

The black energy fell along Yveltal's body all the way to the sofa and the ground, eventually forming a circle with a diameter of about 2 meters on the sofa and the ground.

The circle was filled with rich black energy, emitting strong Dark-type energy fluctuations.

This is… a Dark Aura? Ange was stunned.

He saw the Honchkrow and Murkrow cheering and jumping into the circle, jumping and bouncing inside, wisps of black energy being absorbed into their bodies.

After absorbing the black energy, they immediately became dizzy, like they had drunk fake wine, lying on the sofa or on the ground, with silly smiles on their faces.

It turned out that serving Yveltal had such benefits!

Ange thought: I knew it, with the personalities of Honchkrow and Murkrow, how could they do things that were strenuous and unrewarding.

He shook his head with a smile, and carried the Murkrow, who were still in the afterglow of happiness, one by one to the sofa and placed them next to Yveltal.

Yveltal glanced at Ange, who was holding the Murkrow, then closed its eyes and began to take a nap.

After settling the Murkrow and Honchkrow, Ange left the secret fortress with Sandy Shocks.

Then the two of them wandered aimlessly on the Nibel Plateau.

Ange first went to see the pastures of Skiddo and Gogoat.

During the time he was away from home, the bright green grass had grown even more vigorously, and the area had expanded by nearly half.

Leaving the pasture, Ange and Sandy Shocks went to the fishery.

Now the fish, shrimp, and crabs in the fishery had grown to a size that could be eaten, and had even begun to reproduce on their own.

So Ange first dialed Gerami's phone and asked him to come over.

Then he directed Poliwrath and Poliwag to pull nets to catch fish, shrimp, and crabs.

Azumarill, Marill, and Azurill also hurried to help.

The Water-type Pokémon were very efficient. Before long, the bucket Ange placed on the shore was filled with fish, shrimp, and crabs.

After Gerami came in his flying machine, Ange directed the Pokémon to carry the buckets to the flying machine, and then told Gerami to send the fish, shrimp, and crabs to the Royal Palace.

Since the family's fishery had a good harvest, how could he not let Kimia and Edward also taste them!

Of course, he didn't let Gerami run for nothing. He gave him a bucket of fish, shrimp, and crabs each, and also sent him two chickens and a piece of pork.

Gerami left happily.

After leaving the fishery, Ange went to inspect the orchard, and before he knew it, the sky had darkened.

So, he planned to go home and make dinner for the Pokémon. Just then, Munchlax and Inteleon returned from outside, and the three of them entered the kitchen together.

Anjie had promised Corviknight and Ceruledge that they would have a barbecue tonight to celebrate their evolution, so the three of them began preparing the ingredients for tonight's barbecue.

When the Pokémon returned from outside and learned that dinner was barbecue, they cheered.

While Anjie and the others were preparing the ingredients and seasonings, Diancie, Magearna, and Passimian had already moved the barbecue grill and charcoal outside.

Xerneas watched Diancie and the others busily working and asked Sprigatito next to him in confusion, "What is barbecue? Is it delicious?"

What is barbecue... This question stumped the two Sprigatito. They didn't know how to explain it, so they could only keep saying to Xerneas:

"Hmph hmph~~" Delicious, especially delicious!

Seeing this, Xerneas no longer pressed the two Sprigatito and narrowed his eyes, saying, "Really? Then I'm really looking forward to tonight's dinner!"

"Hmph hmph~~"

"Hmph hmph~~"

The two Sprigatito nodded repeatedly.

At this moment, Swirlix and Floette descended from the sky, sitting on Xerneas's antlers, one on each side.

The aura released by Xerneas made them want to get close.

Seeing Swirlix and Floette being so presumptuous towards Xerneas, the two Sprigatito immediately stood up with displeased expressions and shouted.

"Hmph hmph~~"

"Hmph hmph~~"

However, Xerneas lowered his head, gently tapped the foreheads of the two Sprigatito with his chin, and said to them gently:

"It's okay, Swirlix and Floette are only like this because they like me."

"Swoo purr~~ Swoo purr~~"

"Whoosh whoosh~~ Whoosh whoosh~~"

Swirlix and Floette immediately nodded vigorously, and then flew down from Xerneas's antlers, each kissing Xerneas on one side of his cheek.

Seeing this, the two Sprigatito were no longer angry, and lay down on either side of Xerneas.

Swirlix and Floette, seeing this, flew back to Xerneas's horns and sat down.

Xerneas suddenly asked, "Isn't Yveltal coming to dinner?"

"Swoo purr~~ Swoo purr~~" It usually doesn't come. Munchlax always delivers food to it.

Swirlix replied.

"I see." Xerneas said thoughtfully, "It would be nice if it could have dinner with everyone too."

"Zizzly~~ Zizzly~~" Should I go call it?

At this moment, Scraggy, who knows where he came from, said.

Hearing this, Xerneas looked at him gently and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you!"

"Zizzly~~ Zizzly~~"

Scraggy immediately pulled up his baggy pants and ran towards the secret fortress.

After a while, unexpectedly, Scraggy really brought Yveltal, and he was even riding on Yveltal's back.

Yveltal, surrounded by Honchkrow and Murkrow, swooped down from the sky with a whoosh, making quite a grand entrance.

After landing, Honchkrow and Murkrow still acted like a group of guards, surrounding Yveltal with a proud and majestic air.

Scraggy quickly jumped off Yveltal and ran to his friends, excitedly and incoherently saying to them:

"Zizzly~~ Zizzly~~" I... I just... I just sat on... Yveltal's back!

Pancham, Stunky, Buneary, Pachirisu, and Litleo surrounded Scraggy, looking at him with admiration.

"Ya cha~~ Ya cha~~" Scraggy, you're so awesome!

Pancham's eyes sparkled, with a hint of envy in his gaze.

"Milu~~ Milu~~" Scraggy, you're so brave!

Buneary praised without reservation.

"Lio lio~~ Lio lio~~" You were actually able to call Yveltal, I admire you so much!

Litleo said with admiration.

Litleo's words made Scraggy pause. He recalled the situation when he went to call Yveltal. It seemed... it wasn't because of him that Yveltal came out.

At that time, he arrived at the entrance of the bar and cautiously poked his head inside, holding onto the door frame, and saw Yveltal curled up and sleeping.

Honchkrow and Murkrow were surrounding Yveltal, closing their eyes to rest.

He gently called out, "Zizzly~~ Zizzly~~" Yveltal, dinner is ready, do you want to go out and eat with everyone?

As soon as he finished speaking, Honchkrow and Murkrow opened their eyes at the same time.

The bar wasn't lit at the time, and it was almost dark, so the light inside was very dim.

When Honchkrow and Murkrow opened their eyes at the same time, their eyes, which could shine in the dark, really startled Scraggy.

"Zizzly~~ Zizzly~~" Why are you guys so scary!

Scraggy said with dissatisfaction.

"Ya mi~~ Ya mi~~" Don't disturb Master Yveltal's rest. Master Yveltal won't go out to eat with you!

One of the Murkrow warned Scraggy, its expression arrogant, as if it were Yveltal itself.

That's probably what they mean by 'borrowing someone else's authority'.

Scraggy pouted and said, "Zizzly~~ Zizzly~~" So what? I was called by Master Xerneas!

Hearing the name Xerneas, Yveltal, who had been keeping his eyes closed, suddenly opened them, and then flapped his wings and flew up.

"Ree~~" Let's go, let's go out to eat dinner.

Yveltal's slightly cold voice rang in the ears of Murkrow, Honchkrow, and Scraggy.

When flying through the gate, Yveltal grabbed the back of Scraggy's neck with its beak and threw him directly onto its back.

Seeing this scene, Honchkrow and Murkrow were stunned.

Yveltal actually went out!

"Gah gah~~" Follow, quickly follow!

"Ya mi~~ Ya mi~~" Master Yveltal, wait for us.

Honchkrow quickly led the Murkrow and chased after them.

So why did Master Yveltal suddenly change his mind?

Not understanding the key, Scraggy shook his head and stopped thinking about it.

But... Master Yveltal doesn't seem as scary as he looks! And he even allowed me to ride on his back!

Scraggy glanced at Yveltal, a hint of admiration in his eyes.

After landing, Yveltal looked towards where Xerneas was.

Xerneas also happened to look over at this time, and nodded at Yveltal with a smile.

Yveltal also nodded in response.

The two Pokémon only exchanged this glance, and then went back to their own things.

Xerneas was surrounded by many Pokémon, who were talking to Xerneas all at once.

Xerneas listened to them talking about the interesting things on the plateau, his face full of smiles, and occasionally he would chime in.

In contrast, Yveltal was cold and deserted. Apart from Honchkrow and Murkrow, there wasn't a single other Pokémon.

Scraggy looked at Xerneas, then looked at Yveltal, comparing the situations on both sides.

After hesitating for a long time, Scraggy finally gritted his teeth and ran towards Yveltal.

He didn't forget to pull Pancham and Stunky along to embolden himself.

"Ya cha~~ Ya cha~~" What are you doing?

Pancham shouted.

"Zizzly~~ Zizzly~~" Never mind, just follow me.

Scraggy said.

When they arrived next to Yveltal, Pancham and Stunky trembled and hid behind Scraggy, cautiously poking their heads out to peek at Yveltal. When Yveltal looked over, they immediately retracted their heads.

"Gah gah~~" What are you here for?

Honchkrow puffed out his chest, looking down at Scraggy with an arrogant look.

Scraggy mustered his courage and said, "Zizzly~~ Zizzly~~" What? You're allowed to stay by Master Yveltal's side, but we're not?

Honchkrow stared at Scraggy with sharp eyes.

Seeing this, Scraggy also tried his best to puff out his chest, trying not to lose to Honchkrow in terms of momentum.

After a long time, the sharp aura on Honchkrow dissipated, and he nodded:

"Gah gah~~" Forget it, the more servants Master Yveltal has, the better. You can stay!

Scraggy thought in his heart: Hmph, we're not servants!
