Gourmet master of the Pokemon world

#20 - There are neighbors

On Anjie's side, he and Snorlax were sleeping soundly, but Swablu was wide awake.

To be precise, only the Swablu mother couldn't sleep.

Diancie had prepared a very comfortable room for them, with thick carpets on the floor. The family of three snuggled together, covered with soft blankets, feeling extremely comfortable.

Because Diancie was worried that the family of three might be afraid of the dark after experiencing the dark, rainy night, she didn't turn off the lights when she left. She also told them that if they found the room too bright, they could turn off the lights themselves, and showed them the location of the switch.

Swablu and her father were too tired and had already curled up and fallen asleep, but the Swablu mother just couldn't sleep.

She looked out at the dark night through the window, listening to the whistling wind and the pattering rain, her thoughts drifting far away.

It seemed like many years ago, she had also experienced such a rainy night. That time, she had lost a competition, and the trainer punished her by making her stand outside, and didn't allow her to eat dinner.

That night, it rained heavily. She was cold and hungry, and eventually fainted in the rain.

She thought, if the trainer had called her back to the house like Anjie, and prepared warm food and shelter for her, she might not hate humans as much as she does now.

But no, in the end, it was another Pokémon of the trainer who carried her unconscious into the house.

Now, looking back, all the past events are still vivid in her mind.

She didn't know how long had passed before a glimmer of light appeared on the horizon, and the Swablu mother drowsily fell asleep.

In the morning, bright sunlight shone into the room through the window, and Fletchling gently landed on the balcony railing.

"Ya-ro~ Ya-ro~~!" Anjie, wake up! The sun is shining on your butt!

Anjie groggily opened his eyes and found that Snorlax was still tightly holding his arm. The sleeping cap that had been properly worn on his head last night had long disappeared.

"Gang~~ Gang~~!" Delicious... I want more...

He murmured in his sleep, probably having a sweet dream.

Anjie gently pulled out his arm, got out of bed, walked to the balcony, and waved to Fletchling, "Good morning, Fletchling!"

The fresh air after the rain rushed towards him. Anjie took a deep breath and instantly felt his brain extremely clear.

"Ah! There's a rainbow!" Anjie suddenly exclaimed, only to see a huge rainbow bridge in the distance stretching from this end of the mountain range to the other.

"Ya-ro~~!"

Fletchling happily flapped its wings and flew up, playing with the Swirlix that flew over, flying further and further away, all the way towards the rainbow, until it disappeared from Anjie's sight.

After standing on the balcony for a while, Anjie dragged Snorlax out of the blanket and pulled him into the bathroom to wash up.

This guy can really sleep. He was still drowsy while brushing his teeth. Anjie had to help him squeeze the toothpaste.

Seeing that Snorlax was about to brush his nose with his toothbrush, Anjie sighed leisurely, "I was hoping that my apprentice would be able to stand on his own as soon as possible so I could enjoy the good life, but now it seems impossible. Someone said a few days ago that he would work hard and make progress, but today he has shown his true colors."

"Gang!!!"

Anjie's words made Snorlax shiver all over. He immediately woke up completely. He opened his eyes wide, brushed his teeth in a few strokes, and then ran out in a puff of smoke to change into his chef's uniform. After that, he urged Anjie instead.

"Gang~ Gang~~!" Master, hurry up, if you don't hurry up, I won't wait for you!

Anjie: . . .

Probably because it had just rained, there weren't many Pokémon coming to the restaurant for breakfast this morning, but that was fine. Anjie felt that he could take the opportunity to rest more.

After the Pokémon had all eaten breakfast, Anjie asked Diancie, "Did Swablu and her family come down for breakfast?"

"No," Diancie shook her head, "They were quite tired last night, and they may have been frightened, so let them sleep a little longer."

Anjie nodded.

After the Pokémon finished breakfast, Anjie, Diancie, and Snorlax sent them out the door. Vivillon and the Diglett brothers also took the opportunity to say goodbye.

Then Anjie put on his rain boots and went to the vegetable garden behind the house.

It had just rained, and the vegetable leaves in the garden were covered with dewdrops, verdant and lush, and you could tell at a glance that they were very fresh and tender. Anjie couldn't help but pinch a small green vegetable, deciding to stir-fry a plate for lunch to taste the freshness.

If he didn't eat it now, it might not be so fresh and tender after a while.

Anjie also found that the tomatoes had also fruited, but they were still green. When he thought of the various delicacies made from tomatoes, he couldn't help but drool.

Fortunately, he dug this pond, otherwise the vegetable garden would definitely be flooded, and maybe many vegetables would rot because of it.

After washing the vegetables, Anjie hummed a little tune and walked home. Just as he walked to the door, he saw Swablu and her father flying out of the house with panicked faces.

"What's wrong?" Anjie asked.

"Kiru~ Kiru~"

"Ki~ Ki~~"

The two Pokémon expressed themselves incoherently. Of course, even if they were clear, Anjie wouldn't understand.

At this time, Diancie came over with a medicine box and said, "Swablu's mother is sick and has a fever."

Anjie was surprised when he heard this. He wasn't sick, but Swablu's mother, who was countless times stronger than him, was sick? And he didn't see Swablu's father sick!

"Let's go, go take a look."

Anjie put down the small green vegetables and followed Diancie, Swablu, and her father towards the room where they had rested last night.

As soon as Anjie entered the door, he saw Swablu's mother lying weakly on the ground, her blue skin now flushed red.

Anjie walked over and touched her neck, and sure enough, it was scalding hot.

Noticing someone touching her, Swablu's mother lifted her eyelids and glanced at Anjie. At this time, she didn't even have the strength to glare at Anjie.

"Diancie, quick, give me the medicine."

Diancie hurriedly opened the medicine box and took out the antipyretic medicine from it.

The system not only equipped this medicine box with common medicines for humans, but also with common medicines for Pokémon, which was very comprehensive, but the quantity was not much. When it was used up, Anjie would have to buy it from the system store with Happiness Points.

Taking the medicine and feeding it into Swablu's mother's mouth, Anjie was afraid that she wouldn't swallow it, so he said softly to her, "You'll be fine after taking the medicine, don't be stubborn."

Swablu's mother really didn't have the strength to argue with Anjie. Her consciousness was muddled, and she let Anjie feed her the medicine and drink water.

Then Anjie put a cold towel on her forehead and wiped her body with alcohol. It took a long time for her temperature to gradually go down.

After doing all this, Anjie saw that Swablu and her father were still full of worry, so he smiled and comforted them, "Don't worry, since the fever has started to go down, then it means there's no problem. You guys stay with her, I'll go prepare something to eat for you, I think you must be hungry too, right?"

The Swablu and its father nodded, then quietly lay down next to the Swablu's mother, watching her intently.

Ange went to the kitchen, first steaming a basket of steamed buns, and then began to wash the bok choy he had just picked.

After washing the bok choy, he took out the oil, salt, chicken essence and other seasonings one by one.

Pour oil into the heated pot, then pour in the bok choy and stir-fry, then add appropriate amount of salt, oyster sauce and other seasonings in order, and finally add chicken essence before serving.

A simple and delicious stir-fried bok choy is ready.

High-end ingredients often only need simple methods, and the bok choy that Ange personally grows is also the same.

He picked up a chopstick and put it in his mouth, and was immediately amazed by the taste of the bok choy.

Fresh! Tender! Delicious!

It is indeed grown from seeds bought from the system store.

After Ange finished eating and was about to put down his chopsticks, he saw Munchlax clinging to the door frame of the kitchen, staring straight at him, with a hint of suspicious crystal shining at the corner of his mouth.

"Mun~ Mun~~" Master, what good stuff are you secretly eating?

As he said that, he gently shrugged his nose, smelling the fragrance in the air, his expression seemed to say: Don't fool me, I can smell it!

Ange was helpless, changed a pair of chopsticks again, picked up a chopstick and handed it to Munchlax, "You guy, you really can't hide anything from you when it comes to eating, here, have a taste."

"Ah woo~~~" Munchlax ran lightly to Ange's side, swallowed the bok choy in one bite, chewed it twice, and narrowed his eyes with an amazing look on his face.

"Is it delicious?" Ange asked.

"Mun~ Mun~~" Delicious, delicious.

( ˊˋ ) Munchlax looked at Ange pitifully again.

Ange refused: "This is breakfast for the Swablu and its father. If you want to eat it, I'll make it for you at noon, be good."

"Mun~" Hearing this, Munchlax immediately stopped pestering him, it was a well-behaved little cutie.

Ange saw that the steamed buns were ready, so he opened the steamer and took them out, put them in a rice bowl, and handed them to Munchlax together with the freshly stir-fried bok choy, "Be good, take these to the Swablu."

"Mun~~"

Munchlax nodded and left obediently with the rice bowl.

At about one o'clock in the afternoon, the Swablu's mother woke up in a daze. Although her fever had completely subsided, she felt weak all over after a serious illness.

As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw her husband and daughter sleeping next to her. Seeing their peaceful expressions, a gentle smile appeared on the Swablu's mother's face.

This smile was never seen by Ange, an outsider.

"You're awake? How do you feel?"

Ange's sudden voice startled the Swablu's mother.

Before the Swablu's mother could react, Ange's hand had already been placed on her forehead.

"Well, the fever has completely subsided, it seems there is really no problem."

Before the Swablu's mother could speak, he quickly withdrew his hand.

Swablu's mother: . . .

"Are you hungry? I left you something to eat, wait a moment." Saying that, Ange walked out of the room.

Looking at Ange's back, the Swablu's mother looked complicated.

Why wasn't the first human she met the person in front of her?

At this moment, she finally had to admit that Ange was different from the humans she knew.

As soon as Ange left, the Swablu and its father also woke up.

"Chiru~~ Chiru~~" Mom, you're finally awake, I was so worried.

The Swablu happily got into its mother's arms, constantly acting spoiled with its mother.

"Chi~~~"

The Swablu's mother gently patted the Swablu with her wings with a loving expression, comforting its uneasy emotions. Its mother's sudden illness must have scared it.

The Swablu's father put his head in front of his wife and gently rubbed her neck, telling her his worries and love.

The Swablu's mother also responded to her husband's affection, intertwining her neck with her husband's, and for a while the atmosphere in the room was extremely warm.

After eating the food that Ange brought, the Swablu's mother finally regained her strength.

Welcoming the bright afternoon sun, the family of three flew out of Ange's house.

"Chi~ Chi~"

"Chiru~ Chiru~~"

In the blue sky, the crisp chirping of the Swablu and Altaria came, bringing a different kind of vitality to the Nibel Plateau.

"Come play again when you have time!"

Ange stood at the door and waved to the sky, and what responded to him was still the bursts of chirping from the Altaria.

This day, Ange invited Barboach and Whiscash to his house because he bought some lotus roots from the system store and wanted to ask the two brothers to help plant them in the pond next to the vegetable garden.

Originally, Ange wanted to ask Barboach and Whiscash to help plant lotus roots in their puddle, but since he now has his own pond, there is no need to go far.

Standing by the pond, Ange watched Barboach and Whiscash bury one lotus root after another in the bottom of the water, and suddenly he asked:

"Do you two want to live in my pond?"

The two brothers were stunned by Ange's words.

Huh?

Ange explained: "Look, your original home is in a remote location, and you live there lonely. You are also Water-type Pokémon, and it is inconvenient to move on the shore. It is not easy to come to my house for dinner if you live far away.

Why don't you just live in my pond? You help me plant lotus roots and clean the pond. After the lotus roots are planted, I will give you a part of them as food. My lotus roots are more delicious than yours, big and delicious."

Ange thought that the pond must be cleaned regularly, otherwise the silt will accumulate more and more, and it will become shallower and shallower, and even the passage connecting the pond to Lake Nibel may be blocked. Barboach and Whiscash are very suitable for this job.

Barboach and Whiscash looked at each other, a little hesitant.

Ange continued: "Look, my pond has a direct passage to Lake Nibel. If you are tired of staying in the pond, you can use the passage to take a walk in Lake Nibel at any time. Isn't this more comfortable than the small puddle you live in?"

The two brothers were finally tempted by Ange's last point.

"Diguda~"

"Diguda~"

At this time, the Dugtrio brothers emerged from the soil and joined in persuading Barboach and Whiscash. They came to help Ange's vegetable garden loosen the soil and weed today, and happened to hear Ange's conversation with the Barboach brothers.

"Nomma~ Nomma~"

In the end, Whiscash made the decision and agreed to Ange's proposal.

Ange immediately said happily to Whiscash and Barboach: "Whiscash, Barboach, then we will be neighbors from now on, please give me more advice!"

"Nini~ Nini~~"

"Nomma~~ Nomma~~"

Barboach and Whiscash nodded, then plunged into the water and continued to plant lotus roots.
