Gourmet master of the Pokemon world

Ange walked up to Bruno and said, "Can I train with you guys?"

Bruno stopped what he was doing when he heard this, and Machamp followed suit.

"Ange, you want to learn martial arts?"

Ange nodded, looking expectant, and said, "Yeah, can I?"

Bruno nodded. "Of course!"

"Great!" Ange said happily.

Bruno was a smart man. When Diantha invited him to stay today, he guessed that Ange had a special purpose in inviting him as a guest.

Now that Ange had asked to practice martial arts with him, he immediately understood why Ange had invited him.

Bruno thought for a moment and said, "I've been looking for a suitable place for special training recently, and I think Nibel Plateau is pretty good. If you allow me to stay here for a while and provide me with food, I'll teach you martial arts."

"No problem!" Ange nodded repeatedly.

Seeing that Bruno had said so, Ange understood that he had guessed something, so the two of them understood each other without speaking.

Bruno asked, "Ange, have you ever studied martial arts?"

Ange shook his head. "I've only seen it online."

What's taught online is all fancy stuff; it's not as practical as the moves he figured out himself.

Bruno nodded knowingly. "How about we spar first, and I'll take a look at your physical condition."

"Okay!" Ange nodded.

Bruno adopted a defensive stance and said to Ange, "Try attacking me."

"Then I won't be polite!" Ange said, adopting an offensive stance.

"Come on!" Bruno beckoned.

"Take this!" Ange said, throwing a punch at Bruno.

Bruno blocked with his hand, easily stopping Ange's attack, and then used the force to push Ange back.

Bruno didn't even look at Ange. He raised his arm and clamped Ange's leg, then threw Ange out with a sudden jerk.

Because he was only testing Ange's physical condition, Bruno didn't use much force, and the thick grass was very soft, so Ange didn't feel much pain after falling.

Bruno said with some surprise, "Ange, your physical fitness is a little beyond my imagination."

Ange got up from the ground and smiled embarrassedly. "It's okay, but it's far from you, Bruno."

Bruno shook his head. His physical fitness was the result of hard training day after day, year after year.

"Again!" Bruno said, adopting a defensive stance again.

"Okay, then try my ultimate move!"

Ange charged at Bruno again, this time using his Aura, concentrating it in his palm, and then slapped Bruno.

Seeing that Ange's attack was light and floaty, Bruno didn't take it to heart at first, but when Ange's palm hit him, a powerful impact suddenly erupted from the seemingly weak palm, pushing him straight out.

Bruno staggered, almost falling to the ground.

He looked at Ange in disbelief. "That's..."

Ange retracted his palm and said, "It's Aura."

"Ange, have you awakened your Aura?" Bruno said in disbelief.

"Yes!" Ange nodded.

"You really are a surprise." There was a hint of envy in his tone.

Who who likes fighting doesn't want to awaken their Aura?

"Now that you've awakened your Aura, it would be a waste not to practice martial arts."

At this time, Bruno had developed a love for talent and was determined to teach Ange well.

"Continue!" Bruno posed, letting Ange continue to attack him.

The two's sparring attracted the attention of the Pokémon. Snorlax and Sandile cheered for Ange, waving their arms and legs.

"Snor~ Snor~" Master, go! Master, go!

"Sandile~ Sandile~" Ange, hit him! Hit him!

After Bruno became wary of Ange's Aura, Ange couldn't attack Bruno with Aura in the following sparring.

After an unknown amount of time, Ange lay panting on the grass, while Bruno was still relaxed.

Bruno looked at Ange with a smile and said, "I know your situation pretty well. Let's start training officially tomorrow!"

Ange made an OK gesture to Bruno weakly.

In this way, Bruno temporarily stayed on Nibel Plateau.

The next morning, when Ange got up, he found a burst of noise coming from outside. He walked to the balcony and saw a group of Pokémon training on the grass outside the fence.

Snorlax, Sandile, and Passimian were waving their fists with heaves and hoes, while the two Farfetch'd were constantly waving the shovels in their hands.

Not far from the Pokémon's special training, Bruno was talking to Robert-2.

Seeing this, Ange quickly ran into the bathroom to wash up and then went downstairs as quickly as possible.

Running to Bruno, he said embarrassedly, "Am I getting up too late!"

Bruno shook his head. "It's okay, I got up too early. I saw that the quality of your Pokémon is good, so I helped them train a bit."

After learning that Metagross was usually responsible for the Pokémon's training, Bruno made a few suggestions to Robert-2 on training Fighting-type Pokémon.

As for the training of other Pokémon, Bruno didn't say much.

"Now that you're here, let's start training," Bruno said to Ange.

The foundation of martial arts is the strengthening of physical fitness. Ange's physical fitness is good, and he usually insists on exercising, so Bruno directly skipped this step.

Bruno took out two Poké Balls, and with a flash of light, two Pokémon appeared outside.

The first one was brown all over, with two very slender and powerful legs. As soon as it came out, it kept kicking its legs. Its legs could even be stretched and retracted freely.

This is the Pokémon known as the "Kicking Demon"—Hitmonlee.

The second one was wearing light purple armor, with red boxing gloves on its hands, and it kept waving its fists as soon as it came out.

It is the Boxing Pokémon Hitmonchan.

These two Pokémon are both evolutions of Tyrogue.

Tyrogue also has a third evolution, which is the Top Shape Pokémon Hitmontop.

Bruno pointed to the two Pokémon and said, "Today your training opponents are them."

As soon as Elite Four Bruno finished speaking, Hitmonlee took the lead in attacking Ange. Its leg, which could be stretched and retracted at will, kicked towards Ange's face without warning.

Fortunately, Ange reacted quickly, shrinking his head and quickly squatting down to avoid Hitmonlee's attack.

However, before he could rejoice, Hitmonchan attacked with its fists.

Bang~~

Ange couldn't dodge in time and was knocked away by a punch.

Bruno watched with his arms crossed, and when he saw that Ange hadn't dodged Hitmonchan's attack, he immediately said loudly:

"Don't just pay attention to the opponent in front of you, but also pay attention to the surrounding situation at all times.

Don't you have Aura? Use your Aura!"

His tone was very stern.

Hearing this, Ange quickly turned on his Aura to the maximum.

At this time, Hitmonlee and Hitmonchan attacked Ange from the left and right again.

Ange quickly rolled over to dodge.

Bruno kept pointing out how Ange could dodge, how to make moves, and how to counterattack in disadvantaged situations during the battle.

By the time the training was over, Ange was lying on the ground again, exhausted. Not only that, but he also had several bruises on his face.

As for his body, he didn't need to look to know that there were more bruises.

"Okay, that's it for today's training. Don't you have to go to Castelia City to work? Go quickly, or you'll be late," Bruno said.

"Okay..." Ange replied weakly, then supported himself with his arms and got up from the ground.

"Snor~ Snor~" Seeing this, Snorlax not far away ran over quickly, supporting Ange with a distressed expression.

After getting up, Ange touched its head and said, "It's okay, it's just a skin injury."

After seeing the bruises on Ange's face, Sandile immediately waved its fist at Bruno angrily.

Weirdo!

Bruno said, "You have to endure hardships to learn from me. Do you still want to learn, Ange?"

Ange nodded. "This little hardship is nothing."

Bruno nodded in satisfaction when he heard this. "Then please give me your advice in the next period of time."

Ange: "Please give me your advice."

When Ange returned home, Diantha also looked distressed when she saw his appearance, but she didn't persuade Ange to give up practicing.

She knew that persuasion was useless. No one knew Ange better than she did.

At this moment, Xerneas walked over to Anjay's side and threw a Heal Pulse at him. The bruises all over Anjay's body instantly disappeared, and he no longer felt sore or in pain.

He gratefully thanked Xerneas, "Thank you, Xerneas."

Xerneas shook its head. "It's nothing. It's good that you're motivated. I'm happy to help you."

After washing up, Anjay took Kecleon and the others to work in the royal city.

As soon as Anjay left, Shauntal began her special training.

She not only brought her own Pokémon for special training but also brought along a Passimian, a Diggersby, and two Farfetch'd.

After breakfast, Munchlax consciously joined the training team.

If the master is working so hard, it can't fall behind.

Shauntal took special care of Diggersby and Munchlax during training. She had checked the two Pokémon's physical condition and felt that they were very suitable for learning Fighting-type moves.

Therefore, when Anjay returned from the royal city, he saw Munchlax and Diggersby sprawled on the ground like pancakes.

"What's wrong with them?" Anjay asked Diancie in confusion.

Diancie covered her mouth and giggled. "Ask them yourself."

Hearing Anjay's voice, Diggersby jumped up from the ground and buried itself in Anjay's arms, then began to complain to him, describing how Shauntal had tortured and embarrassed it this morning.

"Digsby~ Digsby~" It must be retaliating against me for glaring at it this morning!

Diggersby said with absolute certainty.

"Nonsense!" Anjay tapped its forehead. "You're so good at complaining. I don't think you're tired at all. You keep clamoring to become as strong as Komala, but now that you have the opportunity, you don't know how to cherish it."

"Digsby~ Digsby~" Diggersby covered its forehead with a aggrieved expression.

Anjay looked at Munchlax again and asked, "Munchlax, are you very tired?"

Munchlax slowly got up from the ground, clenched its fist, and said with a firm expression:

"Munch~ Munch~" Not tired, learning from master!

Anjay rubbed its head. "It's good to work hard, but don't push yourself too hard."

"Munch~" Munchlax nodded, squinting its eyes.

Seeing this, Diggersby hugged Anjay's leg and shouted, "Digsby~ Digsby~" Your attitude towards Munchlax is different from mine! It's not fair! I want my head rubbed too!

Anjay: . . .

In the following days, Anjay practiced Fighting-type moves under Shauntal's guidance every morning and then went to work in the royal city.

After returning in the afternoon, he continued to train for another half day.

Seeing Anjay working so hard, the Pokémon also joined the training team one after another.

If anyone was injured during training, Xerneas would throw a Heal Pulse at them, and all injuries would be healed instantly.

Seeing everyone training so hard, Magearna often brought freshly made desserts to reward everyone, which made Diggersby extremely happy.

Now it no longer complained. It was full of energy in training every day, and its progress was visible to the naked eye.

Time passed in the blink of an eye.

One afternoon after training, Anjay took Pancham and two Diglett to plant bamboo near the Secret Fortress.

The bamboo shoots dug from Bewear had been eaten, and then Anjay remembered that if he wanted to eat bamboo shoots, wouldn't it be enough to plant some himself?

Nibel Plateau has spring-like weather all year round. If he planted bamboo, wouldn't he be able to eat bamboo shoots whenever he wanted?

Then he searched in the system shop and found bamboo that could be used for planting.

There were actually quite a few types of bamboo shoots, such as Moso bamboo shoots, Lei bamboo shoots, red shell bamboo shoots, and giant bamboo shoots, etc.

The ones Anjay and the others dug from Bewear were Moso bamboo shoots.

According to the system introduction, Moso bamboo actually has shoots in winter, but they are hidden underground.

Moso bamboo shoots in spring are called spring bamboo shoots, bamboo shoots in summer are called whip bamboo shoots, and bamboo shoots in winter are called winter bamboo shoots.

Anjay didn't know much about bamboo shoots. After picking and choosing, he finally chose a Lei bamboo shoot.

According to the system shop introduction, the advantages of this bamboo shoot are that it produces shoots early, has a high yield, a long shoot period, and has a fresh and tender taste. It can be stir-fried or stewed.

Anjay didn't plan to plant every variety of bamboo.

Bamboo is easy to survive and reproduces quickly. If he planted too much, the entire Nibel Plateau might become a bamboo forest.

Pancham was the happiest that Anjay wanted to plant bamboo because it liked to eat bamboo shoots the most.

Anjay only bought three or five bamboo plants, so he planted them quickly, and then he just had to wait for them to slowly reproduce.

After the bamboo was planted, Floette descended from the sky and used Grassy Terrain on the bamboo.

Previously, the two Diglett had used Dig on the reclaimed land.

After Floette used Grassy Terrain, Pancham looked at the bamboo expectantly and asked Anjay:

"Cha Cha~ Cha Cha~" When can we eat bamboo shoots?

Anjay shook his head. "I don't know either. Let's wait for them to grow slowly. It should be soon."

"Cha Cha~ Cha Cha~" Pancham said with anticipation.

Then it picked up the nearby kettle and said excitedly, "Cha Cha~ Cha Cha~" I'll water them.

Because he only planted a few bamboo plants, Anjay didn't ask Water-type Pokémon or Castform to help water them, but instead came with a kettle.

After watering, Anjay planned to take the Pokémon home.

Just then, Litleo rushed over.

"What's wrong?" Seeing it panicking, Anjay asked in confusion.

"Litleo~ Litleo~" Litleo called out anxiously.

"Did injured Pokémon come here?" Anjay frowned and asked.

"Litleo~ Litleo~" Litleo nodded quickly.

"Let's go and see."

With that, Anjay strode forward, and Litleo and the others quickly followed.

According to Litleo's instructions, Anjay quickly arrived at the shore of Nibel Lake, where Poliwrath, Azumarill, and others were gathered together, and Gogoat was using Grassy Terrain.

Lying in the center of the Grassy Terrain were two Golett that were drenched.

The two Golett were fished out of Nibel Lake by Azumarill. If there were no accidents, they must have fallen into the Nibel River first and then drifted all the way into Nibel Lake with the current.

At this time, Xerneas was also called over. It nodded to Anjay and then threw a Heal Pulse at the two Golett respectively.

Xerneas's Heal Pulse was very powerful, and the two Golett woke up one after another not long after.

Seeing this, Gogoat withdrew its Grassy Terrain.

After the Golett opened their eyes, they secretly observed the Pokémon surrounding them, and then looked at each other, a trace of timidity flashing in their eyes.

Then, they looked up and saw Yveltal flying quickly over their heads in the company of Honchkrow and Murkrow.

That terrifying aura, even just looking at it from a distance, was enough to make people tremble with fear.

Now they were even more afraid.

What's going on? What's going on? No one told them that there were such powerful and scary Pokémon here! Is it really okay for them to come to this place as undercover agents?

Anjay crouched down and asked, "Are you feeling okay?"

"Golett~"

"Golett~"

The two Golett immediately hugged their heads and shouted that they were dizzy and couldn't move.

Anjay asked, "How did you fall into the river?"

As he spoke, he took out a towel from his system backpack to help the two Pokémon wipe off the water.

This human is so gentle! The two Golett couldn't help but think.

No, no! We're here to be undercover agents, how can we be distracted! Then they quickly shook off the extra thoughts in their heads.

The two Golett used a pre-arranged excuse to explain the reason to Anjay, one sentence at a time.

In their words, they were playing by the river when they were suddenly attacked by a Talonflame, which caused them to fall into the water.

At this moment, Talonflame, who happened to be passing by in the air: No, are we Talonflame so irritable? Attacking people at will? You have to be responsible for your words!

Anjay didn't suspect the two Golett. In his opinion, how could simple and cute Pokémon lie?

He said to the two Golett: "Since you still feel uncomfortable, then stay here with us to rest for now. We'll talk about it when you're better."

"Golett~"

"Golett~"

The two Golett immediately thanked Anjay gratefully.
