Gourmet master of the Pokemon world

Amidst his joy, Anjay began to worry about where to find three Lucario to bring back.

After thinking for a moment, he called Jamie.

However, to his surprise, it was Raquel who answered the phone, not Jamie.

"Raquel, you're back from Paldea?" Anjay asked in surprise.

"Yes! Yes!" Raquel happily told Anjay.

"Poiro~ Poirot~" At this moment, Raquel's Pomete squeezed into the screen, happily greeting Anjay.

"Pomete, long time no see!" Anjay said with a smile.

"Poiro~ Poirot~" Pomete squeezed her big face together with Raquel's face.

"Your Highness, did you call my sister for something?" Raquel asked.

Anjay replied, "I have something I want to ask your sister for help with. Where is your sister? Why are you answering the phone?"

Raquel said, "My sister is talking about work with people from the League. She can't get away right now. Your Highness, if there's anything you need help with, you can tell me!"

Anjay said, "I want to find a few Lucario, but I have no clue where to start, so I wanted to ask your sister if she had any leads."

"Ah? Is that what it is! Then I can't help you." Raquel's little face wrinkled into a ball. "I'll tell my sister when she finishes work."

Anjay: "Then I'll have to trouble you."

"Uh-huh~~" Raquel nodded repeatedly.

"You just said your sister was talking about work with people from the League. Are people from the League coming to the royal city again?" Anjay asked suspiciously.

Hasn't it only been a short time since Elite Four Shiba left? How come people from the League are coming again?

Raquel nodded. "Yes, I think my sister is a little unhappy."

Anjay asked, "Unhappy? Why? Did something happen?"

Raquel shook her head. "I don't know, but it seems to be related to some kind of energy."

"Energy…" Anjay muttered to himself.

Then the two chatted for a few more words before hanging up the phone.

Anjay also learned another surprising piece of news from the conversation, which was that Raquel was preparing to travel.

Originally, Raquel didn't plan to travel at the age of ten, after all, he was a shut-in.

But Dr. Orin and Dr. Fufutu both suggested that he travel for a period of time to broaden his horizons, which would be very helpful for his future research.

After Raquel came back and discussed it with his father and sister, he decided to follow the doctor's advice and travel.

When eating lunch, Anjay saw Yveltal, and he glanced at Yveltal with his Eye of Observation.

《Heavy Reward for News of Riolu or Lucario》

Hopefully it will be useful! After posting the post, Anjay thought to himself.

Two days passed in a flash. This afternoon, Anjay, who had nothing to do, was sitting on the wall watching Volcanion and the others play football in the distance.

At this moment, a Delibird carrying a small package descended from the sky and took out a package and handed it to Anjay.

Anjay asked, "For me?"

Delibird nodded and pointed to the signature position, indicating that Anjay should sign.

As soon as Anjay saw that the sender was Friede, he immediately understood what was in the package.

After signing, Delibird flapped its wings and flew away, while Anjay opened the package and saw that it contained several gray mushrooms.

Sure enough, they are Mochi Mushrooms!

Several Mochi Mushrooms were preserved very well, and the spores on them were not damaged.

With these Mochi Mushrooms, Anjay can cultivate more Mochi Mushrooms.

He opened the system and saw that the quest related to Mochi Mushrooms had indeed been completed.

"Congratulations to the host for completing [Ingredient Collection Quest 4] Collecting Mochi Mushroom spores.

Reward: Several kinds of mushroom spores, seasoning "Hundred Mushroom Fresh", sauce "Spicy Mushroom Sauce"

One quest rewarded two kinds of recipes, both related to mushrooms.

Anjay opened the system recipe interface and flipped through it, and found that "Hundred Mushroom Fresh" is a special seasoning that can replace MSG, and "Spicy Mushroom Sauce" is similar to his previous life's Lao Gan Ma.

Spicy Mushroom Sauce can be used to mix noodles, dip steamed buns, stir-fry vegetables, etc., which can be said to be widely used.

As for the first reward "Several kinds of mushroom spores", Anjay didn't quite understand it.

Find mushroom spores first, and then reward mushroom spores, what kind of confusing operation is this?

He opened the system backpack and took out a few things that were just rewarded by the quest, and found that what the system rewarded was indeed mushroom spores, but they were several kinds of mushroom spores that were different from Mochi Mushrooms.

There are five kinds of spores rewarded by the quest, namely Little Mushroom, Big Mushroom, Fragrant Mushroom, Sword Dance Mushroom, and Shadow Clone Mushroom.

Among them, Little Mushroom, Big Mushroom, and Fragrant Mushroom are the main raw materials for making "Hundred Mushroom Fresh".

The Sword Dance Mushroom and Shadow Clone Mushroom are the main raw materials for making "Spicy Mushroom Sauce".

The spores of mushrooms are equivalent to their seeds. What Anjay has to do now is to cultivate these spores into mushrooms.

How to cultivate mushrooms, Anjay fell into deep thought. He searched the system store for a while, and finally found a "Mushroom Planting Guide".

As soon as he bought the "Mushroom Planting Guide", he saw Paras and Shroomish passing by not far away.

Paras! Anjay's heart moved. Isn't Paras a good helper for planting mushrooms? He remembers that Paras and their evolved form Parasect's habits are to like to plant mushrooms.

Thinking like this, Anjay waved to Paras and Shroomish, "Paras! Shroomish! Come here for a moment!"

The four Pokémon quickly ran to Anjay's side when they heard the words.

"Para~" Anjay! Anjay!

"Para~~" What do you want us to do?

The two Paras asked.

"Kino~ kino~"

"Kino~ kino~"

The two Shroomish also looked at Anjay with puzzled eyes.

Anjay said, "I have a job that I need your help with now."

The four Pokémon nodded when they heard the words.

"Para~" You say, you say!

"Kino~ kino~" No problem, no problem!

Anjay said, "I plan to plant some mushrooms, and I want to give this task to you. As for the work in the orchard, you can give it to other partners."

Hearing that the work Anjay said was planting mushrooms, the eyes of the two Paras immediately lit up.

"Para~ Para~~" I'm willing! I'm willing!

"Para~ Para~~" I like to plant mushrooms.

The two Shroomish also jumped and said, "Kino~ kino~" We help, we help!

"Very good!" Anjay nodded and said, "Then the first step is to find a suitable place to plant mushrooms."

"Para~~"

"Para~~"

Hearing this, the two Paras shouted excitedly.

"Do you know where is suitable for planting mushrooms?" Anjay asked in surprise.

"Para~"

"Para~"

The two Paras nodded repeatedly.

"That's great, take me to see it quickly." Anjay said excitedly.

"Para~ Para~"

"Para~ Para~"

After the two Paras nodded, they turned around and walked in front to lead Anjay.

Anjay and the two Shroomish hurriedly followed.

Under the guidance of Paras, Anjay came to the cliff below the Nibel Plateau edge.

This is where Volcanion and Magearna used to sleep.

"Paras, is this the place you said is suitable for planting mushrooms?" Anjay asked.

"Para~"

"Para~"

The two Paras nodded and motioned for Anjay to follow them.

After the guidance of the two Paras, Anjay realized that there were many interconnected passages under the cliff.

These passages are well ventilated and have a humid environment, which is indeed a good place to plant mushrooms.

After some investigation, Anjay was very satisfied with this place, "Paras, you are really capable, you can even find this place."

"Para~"

"Para~~"

Getting Anjay's praise, the two Paras were both happy and a little shy.

Actually, this place was originally chosen by them to grow mushrooms themselves.

Having been in the Nibel Plateau for some time, they had not yet grown any mushrooms, and were feeling uneasy, when Anjie assigned them new work.

They didn't like growing mushrooms very much.

"Now that the location is chosen, let's start making the substrate needed to grow mushrooms!" Anjie said.

"Pyla~"

"Kino~"

Paras and Foongus nodded together.

Immediately, Anjie took the four Pokémon back home.

He first found two Golett, and had them carry the wood to the cliff, led by the two Foongus.

Wood is the main material for making the planting substrate.

In fact, there are many choices for the main material of the planting substrate, such as rice straw, wheat straw, sawdust, corn cob, etc., but there is no rice straw or wheat straw on the Nibel Plateau, so sawdust is the best choice.

Oh right, there's also chicken manure.

You can mix some chicken manure into the sawdust.

Anjie instructed Solrock and Lunatone to collect it, as there was no shortage of chicken manure in the chicken coop.

Solrock and Lunatone could use their psychic powers to collect it, so there was no need to worry about getting it on themselves.

Afterwards, Anjie called for Doublade and Volcanion.

When the preparations were almost done, Anjie took the Pokémon back to the cave under the cliff.

At this time, Golett, Solrock, and Lunatone had already transported the wood and chicken manure over.

Anjie directed everyone: "Doublade, you are responsible for cutting all these logs into shavings."

"Yo~~" Doublade responded, immediately drawing its swords, two streams of cold light flashed across the sword bodies, and almost in an instant, a log turned into a pile of shavings.

Then Anjie instructed Solrock and Lunatone: "Solrock, Lunatone, use your psychic powers to mix the sawdust and chicken manure together."

Anjie prepared several large buckets, specifically for mixing the materials.

"Soru~"

"Runa~"

Solrock and Lunatone responded and began to work.

"What do I need to do?" Volcanion asked.

Anjie replied: "Later, you will use the Scald skill to disinfect and sterilize the substrate mixed by Solrock and Lunatone."

The high temperature brought by the Scald skill can effectively kill the miscellaneous bacteria and pests in the substrate material, reducing the occurrence of diseases and insect pests, so this step is necessary.

Volcanion nodded upon hearing this: "No problem."

Anjie himself, together with the two Golett, built the mushroom beds that would be used for the final soil covering.

As time passed, one square mushroom bed after another was built by Anjie and the two Golett.

Anjie built mushroom beds for them in different caves according to the different growing conditions of Shroomish, Breloom, and Shroodle.

The temperature, humidity, ventilation, and light in these caves were different.

There were hot springs on this cliff, so the closer to the hot springs, the higher the temperature and the greater the humidity.

When Anjie and the others had built the mushroom beds, Volcanion and the others had almost finished making the substrate.

Once the substrate was made, Anjie and the others worked together to spread the substrate into the mushroom beds, and inoculated different types of spores into the substrate according to different growing conditions.

By the time all of this was done, it was getting late.

Anjie looked at the results of his and the Pokémon's afternoon efforts, and couldn't help but feel a sense of accomplishment.

"Paras, Foongus, from now on, this mushroom growing base will be handed over to you to manage!"

"Pyla~"

"Kino~"

Paras and Foongus assured that they would definitely grow the mushrooms well.

Anjie said: "I believe you can do it, and then we will have endless mushrooms to eat."

"Pyla~~"

"Kino~~"

The two Paras and two Foongus couldn't help but show anticipation when they heard this.

The growth cycle of mushrooms is relatively short, about half a month to a month, and Anjie and the others will be able to eat delicious mushrooms.

Anjie said to Paras and Foongus: "Later, I will also transfer Bellossom and Vileplume to help you."

Bellossom and Vileplume have learned Grassy Terrain, and with Grassy Terrain to assist mushroom growth, the mushrooms grown will definitely be more delicious and nutritious.

"Pyla~"

"Kino~"

Hearing Anjie's words, Paras and Foongus were extremely happy.

They had always depended on Bellossom and Vileplume, and had the best relationship with each other, so being able to work together was of course something they wanted.

"Alright, let's go home, Snorlax and Inteleon should have already made dinner." Anjie said.

Immediately, he and a group of Pokémon returned home, talking and laughing.

Time flew by, and more than half a month passed in the blink of an eye. Anjie didn't wait for Ji Meiya to help him find Lucario's whereabouts, but he got some clues from the Internet.

This day, Anjie was browsing the news when he accidentally discovered that someone had replied to the post he had posted before.

I saw written below the post: "I have news about Lucario, please contact me."

Attached was also his contact information.

Could this be a scammer? Anjie's reward was quite high.

He hesitated for a moment, but ultimately chose to add the other party and send them a message.

"Hello, do you know anything about Lucario?"

The other party quickly replied, sending a photo.

The background of the photo was a desert, and a violent sandstorm was blowing. A silhouette that appeared to be Lucario flashed by in the sandstorm.

Anjie replied to him: "This is not necessarily Lucario, it just looks a bit like it."

The other party immediately replied: "You can pay me the reward after you catch Lucario."

Anjie thought for a while and replied: "Okay, where is this desert located?"

The other party replied: "Near Desert City." Also attached was a location.

Desert City... Anjie muttered the name of the city, and found that he had never heard of it, so he searched online and found that it was originally a city built in the desert.

No wonder it's called Desert City.

Anjie's original reward was 60,000, but the other party only gave a vague clue, so Anjie felt it wasn't worth 60,000, so he began to bargain with the other party.

In the end, the two parties reached a deal for 40,000.

Of course, if Anjie didn't catch Lucario according to the clues, then the 40,000 would not have to be paid.

Through the conversation with the other party, Anjie discovered that he didn't seem to be someone who lacked money, and it seemed that taking on this commission was just something he did casually.

Now that he had obtained clues about Lucario, Anjie decided to take a trip to Desert City.

That day, he gathered the partners at home and announced the news.

When Sandygast heard that Anjie was going out, he immediately raised his hand excitedly.

"Sandygast~ Sandygast~" Take me! Take me! It's my turn this time!

Anjie looked at Sandygast with apologetic eyes and said, "Sandygast, you continue to watch the house this time, it should be Diancie and Passimian's turn this time!"

Sandygast was struck by lightning when he heard this.

"Sandygast~ Gast~" He squatted in the corner with a dejected face, silently drawing circles.

Anjie looked at Passimian and asked, "Passimian, how about it, do you want to go out with me this time to see the outside world?"

Passimian hesitated for a moment and nodded.

Previously, when Magearna told them about her experiences outside, she mentioned that she was taken by Anjie to taste the desserts in other stores, and learned a lot from it.

Passimian felt that he should also go out to learn from others, to taste the fine wines outside, and accumulate experience.

Diancie naturally had no problem, because Anjie had promised last time that he would bring her this time.

After some discussion, the Pokémon that went out with Anjie this time were Diancie, Volcanion, Doublade, and Passimian.

Because they were going to the desert, Anjie also decided to bring Hatterene.

Hatterene is the best mount in the desert.

After selecting the Pokémon, Anjie said to Snorlax and Inteleon: "I'm counting on you two to take care of the house!"

"Gong~~" Don't worry, Master.

Snorlax said with a serious face.

"Intee~ Intee~~"

Inteleon also confidently echoed.

Anjie also instructed Metagross and Komala: "When I'm not at home, you are not allowed to be like last time, one hiding in the laboratory and not going out, and the other wallowing in the winery drunk!"

"Meta~ Meta~" Metagross was afraid that Anjie would confiscate its equipment, and honestly nodded.

As for Komala... there was no response.

The next day, Anjie took the Pokémon and set off towards Desert City.
