Gourmet master of the Pokemon world

Chapter 230: So Refreshing!

With his own sous chef, Gengar immediately took Riolu to exchange experiences with his senior apprentice.

Soon, the four Pokémon gathered together. Gengar, Inteleon, and Lucario were all teaching Riolu how to cultivate Aura according to Anji's method. Riolu's little face was full of seriousness.

Seeing the Pokémon getting along harmoniously, Anji showed a gratified smile on his face. Then, he turned around and went to Metagross's laboratory.

Metagross's laboratory is usually the quietest place in the house. Everyone passing by here will subconsciously lighten their footsteps, for fear of disturbing Metagross's research.

Anji knocked on the door. "Metagross, are you there?"

"Meta~~" A response from Metagross quickly came from inside.

"Can I come in?" Anji asked again.

"Meta~~" Yes!

Metagross spoke again, and then the door creaked open by itself.

Anji walked into the room and saw that all the curtains in the room were drawn, and the light inside was very dim. The huge Metagross was sitting on a thick and soft cushion, with three supercomputers in front of it.

Metagross's mental power turned into flexible fingers, quickly tapping on the keyboard. A large number of texts and patterns that Anji couldn't understand flashed quickly on the screen, making people dazzled.

"Meta~ Meta~"

Seeing Anji enter the door, Metagross immediately took the initiative to greet him.

"Anji, are you here for the takeaway app? I'm almost done developing it. It will take a few more days."

Anji shook his head and said, "I'm here to find you for something else."

"Meta~" Something else?

Metagross looked puzzled.

Anji nodded. He first took out the things Rachel had given him and handed them to Metagross.

"This is what Rachel asked me to give you."

Hearing this, Metagross's eyes lit up, and it immediately used its mental power to take the things from Anji's hand.

It had just mentioned this matter to Rachel in an online chat a few days ago, but it didn't expect Rachel to send the things so quickly.

Just as Metagross was planning to study it carefully, Anji said again, "I have something else to give you!"

Metagross was stunned. There's something else?

Then it saw Anji take out a box. After the box was opened, it revealed the shining Mega Stone inside.

Hearing this, Metagross showed surprise. It didn't expect that it would also have a Mega Stone.

Just as it was about to take it, it suddenly heard Anji say, "By the way, let me get something to equip the Mega Stone, otherwise it won't be easy for you to hold it."

"Meta~~" Metagross nodded.

"Let me see!" Saying that, Anji opened the system store.

"Got it!" After searching for a while, Anji found something suitable for Metagross and then spent Happiness Points to buy it.

It was a palm-sized circular button with a groove in the center, just enough to embed the Mega Stone.

And there was a small button on the edge of the button. Press it once, and it would generate suction, which could firmly adhere to Metagross's metal skin.

Press it again, and the suction would disappear, and then it could be easily removed.

After embedding the Mega Stone, Anji said to Metagross, "Come, let me stick it on for you."

"Meta~~" Metagross nodded and slowly floated in front of Anji.

Anji pressed the button, and the suction appeared instantly. After he put the button on Metagross's forehead, the button immediately stuck firmly on it.

The color of the button was very similar to Metagross's metal skin. If you didn't look carefully, it would be difficult to find such a thing attached to Metagross.

After sticking the button, Anji nodded in satisfaction.

"Not bad, very suitable."

"Meta~~" Metagross didn't feel anything on its forehead at all.

Anji asked, "Metagross, do you want to try Mega Evolution?"

"Meta~" Metagross nodded expectantly.

Seeing this, Anji said, "Okay, then let's try it."

Saying that, he pulled out the Mega Pendant from his collar.

Anji pinched the Mega Stone and said, "Metagross, Mega Evolve!"

"Meta~" Metagross responded to Anji.

As the voices of the person and the Pokémon fell, brilliant rays of light burst out from the Key Stone and the Mega Stone at the same time.

Streams of light emerged from the Key Stone and the Mega Stone respectively, and then intertwined with each other. Then, Metagross was wrapped in a strong light.

In the light, Metagross's body began to undergo tremendous changes. When the light dissipated, a brand-new Pokémon appeared in front of Anji.

This Pokémon had a larger body than Metagross, and the original silver cross on its face became golden. A long white spike appeared on its chin, and especially eye-catching were its four incredibly huge steel claws.

"Meta~~"

After Mega Evolution, Metagross shouted excitedly. It felt that it was full of power at this moment.

Mega Evolution needs to rely on the power of bonds. The bond between Metagross and Anji is definitely not a problem, so it didn't feel any discomfort after Mega Evolution.

According to Professor Sycamore's research, if the bond between the trainer and the Pokémon is insufficient during Mega Evolution, then the Pokémon will be tormented by the soaring power and even go berserk…

"How do you feel?" Anji asked.

"Meta~ Meta~" Metagross flew around excitedly in the air, indicating that it was completely fine.

"That's good." Anji breathed a sigh of relief.

After Metagross had fully adapted to Mega Evolution, it withdrew from the Mega Evolution state.

Then Anji chatted with it for a while before leaving.

However, as soon as he left the room, he heard a system prompt in his ear. He opened the system in confusion and saw a prompt in the task bar.

"Congratulations to the host for completing [Ingredient Cultivation Task 4] Planting Sticky Mushrooms successfully. Reward to be claimed."

Seeing this, Anji showed joy. This task is completed. Does it mean that the Sticky Mushrooms have grown well?

He thought about it and decided to claim the task reward first.

"Congratulations to the host for receiving the reward: Constitution +2, Individual Value +2, Lucky Egg × 1."

Seeing the reward, Anji was stunned.

Constitution and Individual Value are very common rewards, but the Lucky Egg is not. Like the Exp. Share that Anji obtained earlier, it is an item that can increase Pokémon experience.

However, the Exp. Share can work on all of Anji's Pokémon, but the Lucky Egg can only be carried by one Pokémon and take effect on one Pokémon.

Anji took out the Lucky Egg from the system backpack. It was a palm-sized oval egg, a bit similar in shape to Chansey's egg, but not as big as Chansey's egg, and not as white.

Who should this item be used for?

After thinking about it, Anji decided to give it to Komala.

Here in Anji's place, with the blessing of special food, it is easy for low-level Pokémon to level up.

But at Komala's level, it is particularly difficult to level up even one level. If this item can help, it will definitely be much easier.

After putting away the Lucky Egg, Anji looked at his data again.

Anji

Race: Human

Gender: Male

Age: 17 (+500)

Constitution: 80

Intelligence: 38

Cooking Evaluation: An outstanding young talent in cooking.

Title: Hand of God (Increases the probability of special effects occurring when making food by 20%)

My physique has officially broken through the 80 mark! Ange grinned happily.

Another day of being satisfied with my stats.

Finally, Ange added the 2 individual points to Kecleon. Needless to say, he naturally added it to the only stat among its six individual values that wasn't maxed out: Physical Defense.

Kecleon

[Type] Water

[Ability] Sniper

[Gender] Male

[Level] 60

[Moves] Omitted

[Individual Values]

HP: 31

Special Defense: 31

Speed: 31

After doing all this, Ange prepared to go downstairs to find Komala and give it the Lucky Egg he had just obtained.

When he got downstairs, he found Gengar and Kecleon already busy in the kitchen with their sous chefs, while Snorlax was wearing an apron and peeking inside from the door frame.

"What's wrong, Snorlax?" Ange asked, puzzled.

"Snor~ Snor~" Snorlax spread its hands helplessly.

It turned out that Gengar, after getting a sous chef, was so happy that it dragged Kecleon and Lucario into the kitchen, saying that they would be responsible for making lunch today.

Snorlax, who had already changed clothes and was planning to make lunch, was forcibly pushed out by Gengar.

Oh my, what troublesome junior siblings!

Ange said with a mix of laughter and tears, "Isn't it good that you don't have to cook? We can relax. Let your junior siblings handle lunch. Let's go find Komala!"

With that, he patted Snorlax's shoulder.

"Snor~~" Hearing this, Snorlax neatly took off its clothes and then followed behind Ange, heading outside with a bounce in its step.

Ange and Snorlax didn't see Komala in its cabin, so they went to the distillery together.

Sure enough, they found Komala here, toasting with Infernape.

Besides them, Mew was also here, holding a glass of juice and "drinking" with Komala and Infernape.

Passimian was mixing drinks behind the bar, Spiritomb was pouring drinks for Infernape and the others, and Sneasel was helping Komala cool its liquor and Mew's juice.

As for Shuckle, they were slowly crawling around under the table.

"Mew~~~" The icy cold juice went into its mouth, and Mew couldn't help but close its eyes and shiver.

So delicious!

"Yo~ Everyone's here!" Seeing the Pokémon, Ange smiled and waved to them.

"Mew~~" Seeing Ange, Mew hurriedly flew to Ange's side, hugging its juice.

Ange smiled and scratched Mew's chin, asking, "Do you want to stay for lunch today?"

"Mew~ Mew~" Mew's answer was, of course, yes. It flew around Ange's head happily.

After playing with Mew for a while, Ange walked to the bar and said to Passimian, "Give me a beer."

"Passi~~" Passimian nodded with a smile, then took out a glass, placed it in front of Ange, and filled it to the brim.

"Sneasel~ Sneasel~" Do you want me to chill it?

Sneasel stood on tiptoes, clinging to the edge of the table and looking up at Ange.

Ange handed the glass to it and said, "Please!"

"Sneasel~" Sneasel happily opened its mouth and breathed a cold air towards the glass. Instantly, frost and mist condensed on the outside of the glass.

At this time, Snorlax also held out the juice that Passimian had just mixed for it towards Sneasel.

"Snor~ Snor~" Me too! Me too!

"Sneasel~ Sneasel~" Sneasel had a good relationship with Snorlax, so it smiled and breathed on it as well.

Seeing this, Ange raised his glass and said to Snorlax and the others, "Come on, let's have a toast."

"Snor~"

"Mew~"

"Infe~"

......

Snorlax, Mew, Infernape, and Komala raised their glasses (juice) in response.

Ding~~ The glasses collided with each other, making a crisp and pleasant sound.

After taking a big gulp of ice-cold beer, Ange shivered with pleasure and said with a look of admiration.

"Ah!"

"Snor~" Ah!

"Mew~" Ah!

Snorlax and Mew shuddered, mimicking Ange's expression after drinking the juice.

"Passi~ Passi~"

"Yo Nu~ Yo Nu~"

"Infe~ Infe~"

Passimian, Infernape, and Spiritomb were amused by these two little guys and laughed heartily.

"Glug~ Glug~" Hearing this, the Shuckle stuck their heads out from under the table. Although they didn't know what everyone was laughing at, they laughed along with them.

For a time, the bar in front of the distillery was filled with laughter and cheers.

Ange didn't overindulge. After two glasses of beer, he didn't have another one.

He took out the Lucky Egg and handed it to Komala.

"Komala, here, this is for you. It's something that can help you become stronger."

"Mew~ Mew~" What's this?

Mew curiously came over.

Like the Exp. Share, the Lucky Egg was also an item that didn't exist in this world, so Mew naturally didn't recognize it.

Ange smiled and said, "Why are you so curious about everything?"

"Mew~ Mew~~" I want it too! I want it too!

Mew felt it was novel, so it hugged Ange's arm and acted coquettishly.

Ange grabbed it by the neck and pulled it into his arms, "Alright, this thing is useless to you. I'll give you something good next time!"

Mew was already at max level, so the Lucky Egg was of course useless to it.

"Mew~ Mew~" That's a deal!

Mew nestled in Ange's arms and looked up at Ange.

"It's a deal! It's a deal!" Ange nodded repeatedly.

Hearing this, Mew obediently sat in Ange's arms, watching Komala take the Lucky Egg.

Magically, Komala actually hugged the Lucky Egg and transformed it into a blue light that merged into its body.

Ange watched in amazement.

Held items can be equipped like this? He thought they would all be like Snorlax stuffing the Everstone into its fur, or Vileplume wearing the Wide Lens on its eyes!

Ange asked curiously, "Komala, can you still take it off like that?"

Hearing this, Komala reached out and pulled out a ball of blue light from its body. After a burst of distortion, the light transformed back into the shape of the Lucky Egg.

"How magical!" Ange was like a country bumpkin.

After studying it for a while, Komala put the Lucky Egg back into its body. Seeing this, Ange said, "Gengar and the others should have finished making lunch. Let's go back and eat!"

"Mew~"

"Snor~"

Snorlax and Mew cheered in unison.

Then Ange led the Pokémon back home together.

As they were walking out of the secret base, they saw Bellossom, Vileplume, and two Breloom carrying baskets towards the house from afar.

According to the previous system prompt, the Moomoo Mushrooms had matured. Could the Pokémon's baskets be filled with Moomoo Mushrooms?

But Breloom? Where did the Breloom come from? Could it be that the Shroomish evolved?

Thinking of this, Ange hurriedly led the Pokémon towards Bellossom and the others.

I'll post one chapter today to whet your appetite. I'll try to write more tomorrow.

My computer is broken, so this chapter doesn't have any pictures, sob sob sob...
