Gourmet master of the Pokemon world

Chapter 243: The Journey to the Royal City

Once everyone was seated, An Jiel announced that dinner was served, and the Pokémon cheered and devoured their food.

Latias and Latios glanced at the three Eevee, who were gobbling down their food, and then began to eat as well.

The moment the delicious food entered their stomachs, the exaggerated descriptions of An Jiel's cooking by Barboach Mole earlier became concrete in the hearts of the siblings.

So, Barboach Mole's description of An Jiel's cooking was exaggerated, but he wasn't lying! The siblings suddenly understood!

An Jiel's cooking had such a great impact on the siblings for three reasons.

First, it was the first time for both of them to eat food with such a strong flavor and aroma.

Second, An Jiel's cooking was indeed very good.

Third, the food they just ate contained mushroom essence, which dragon-type Pokémon love.

"Barboach~ Barboach~" How is it? Delicious, right!

Barboach Mole, sitting across from the siblings, kept stuffing food into his mouth with a spoon, chewing with his cheeks bulging, and speaking unclearly.

"Ah woo~~" The siblings gave Barboach Mole a positive response.

"Barboach~" Barboach Mole immediately showed a proud expression, as if he had made the entire table of food.

Diancie reached out and knocked on the table, looking at Barboach Mole with a serious expression and saying, "Speak after you swallow the food in your mouth."

Upon hearing this, Barboach Mole immediately shrank his neck.

The boss has spoken!

The Libra Doll sitting on his left couldn't help but snicker when he saw his cowardly appearance.

What are you laughing at! Barboach Mole pushed the Libra Doll.

Was the Libra Doll one to take a loss? He immediately pushed back.

Noticing their little actions, Diancie knocked on the table again, "If you two don't want to eat, get out!"

This time, both Pokémon shrank their necks and became obedient.

"Hahaha~~"

"Gang~~"

"Geng~~~"

For a time, the people and Pokémon at both tables burst into laughter.

Latios and Latias looked at each other, and smiles appeared on their faces as well.

For some reason, they felt a faint, warm atmosphere permeating the dinner table, something they had never experienced before.

At this moment, Passimian took out a bottle of wine and asked An Jiel and Bewear:

"Passi~ Passi~" Want to have a drink?

An Jiel was in a good mood today, so he readily nodded and said, "Sure, let's have a drink!"

An Jiel raised his glass and said, "Let's raise our glasses to welcome Latias and Latios to our big family."

Diancie: "Cheers~"

Magearna: "Duki~" Cheers~

Aggron: "Meta~" Cheers~

......

Everyone raised their glasses (drinks) and said.

The siblings looked at everyone, and while feeling excited, they also imitated everyone's actions and raised their glasses.

Then, amidst everyone's cheers, Latios and Latias drank the fine wine in their glasses in one gulp.

"Cough cough cough~~" Because she drank too fast, Latias immediately coughed violently.

"Sssha~ Sssha~" So spicy! So spicy!

Latias said, her face flushed.

Seeing this, An Jiel smiled and said, "It seems Latias isn't used to the taste of wine."

Hearing this, Diancie said, "Really, I don't know what's so good about drinking wine."

"Duki~~" That's right, that's right!

"Geng~~" Yeah, yeah!

Magearna and Gengar nodded in agreement.

Latias looked at Diancie with teary eyes, feeling that what she said made a lot of sense, this thing called wine really wasn't good to drink.

"Passi~ Passi~" You really don't understand! The taste of wine is so wonderful…

Passimian shook his head and said.

However, even though he said that, he thoughtfully helped Latias replace the wine with juice.

"Passi~ Passi~" Since you don't like wine, then try my juice!

Latias picked up the juice and took a small sip, and her eyes lit up.

"Woo~~" This is delicious!

Sure enough, the juice won Latias's favor.

An Jiel asked Latias, "Latias, what do you think of the taste of wine?"

"Woo~~" Latias asked Passimian for another glass, and smacked her lips, indicating that the taste was not bad.

An Jiel said happily, "Then let's have another toast!" Saying that, he raised the wine glass in his hand again.

Bewear and Passimian also raised their glasses.

Latias: "Woo~~" Cheers!!!!

Amidst the clinking of glasses, An Jiel, Passimian, and Latios gradually became tipsy.

An Jiel wasn't greedy for drinks, so he said to Passimian and Latios, "Let's just drink this much today, we'll have a chance to drink together again in the future."

"Passi~"

"Woo~"

Passimian and Latios nodded in agreement, they weren't Pokémon who were greedy for drinks either.

Only Bewear didn't change at all, still sipping on his own.

Diancie looked at the redness on An Jiel's face and put some vegetables into his bowl, "Eat some vegetables to fill your stomach."

Seeing this, Latias followed suit and put a lot of vegetables into her brother's bowl.

"Woo~~" Brother, eat!

Snorlax saw that Bewear was only drinking, so he pushed him.

"Gang~ Gang~" Don't just drink, eat more food!

Saying that, he also filled Bewear's bowl.

Bewear paused his drinking action, he was silent for a while, then silently put down his glass, and then picked up his chopsticks to eat.

Although he loved wine, he listened to advice.

"Gang~" Snorlax smiled and touched Bewear's back.

Bewear moved to the side, avoiding Snorlax's action.

Hey hey~ Kid, who of us is the elder?!

After patting Bewear's back, Snorlax smiled and continued eating.

Bewear: . . .

Passimian looked at Latios, and then at An Jiel and Bewear.

(っ╭╮)っ Am I the only one no one takes care of? Mismagius, Forretress, I miss you!

Just then, Aegislash used its ribbons to control the chopsticks and put a bowl full of vegetables into Passimian's bowl.

Passimian looked at Aegislash with teary eyes: Aegislash, you are an angel!

Thus, the lunch ended in a harmonious atmosphere.

After the meal, An Jiel lay dazedly on the deck chair at the door, leisurely basking in the sun. He had drunk a little wine at noon, and at this time he was drowsy.

Snorlax and Barboach Mole rested their heads on his lap, one on the left and one on the right, and there was already a slight snoring sound.

Although they didn't drink alcohol, they still felt drowsy after eating and drinking their fill.

In the sky, Latias and Latios were playing.

Mareep sat next to the flower bed, using a paintbrush to draw Angé, Munchlax, Bidoof, and the playing Latios and Latias, all onto the paper.

The next morning, Protean remained at home to learn from Kyogre, while Angé took Doublade, Baltoy, Lucario, Kirlia, and two Meowstic to the Royal Capital for work.

However, before he set off, Latias and Latios suddenly found him.

"You want to go to the Royal Capital?" Angé looked at the siblings in surprise.

Latias and Latios nodded at the same time.

"Woo~" Is it not allowed?

Latias asked.

"Of course it's allowed!" Angé nodded, "I'm just a little surprised."

"Woo~ Woo~" We want to see what this world has become.

Latios said to Angé.

"It's good to go and see!" Angé said, "Okay, then let's go to the Royal Capital together."

Just like that, Angé took the siblings through the space-time tunnel to the Royal Capital.

The siblings marveled at the space-time tunnel for a while before coming out.

Arriving on the third floor of the Munchlax residence, Angé instructed the siblings: "You can wander around the Royal Capital as you please, but be careful not to cause a disturbance."

"Woo~ Woo~" The siblings nodded; they knew their identities were special, so in Angé's surprised gaze, their bodies gradually became transparent, until they disappeared from Angé's sight.

That way, no one could see them.

Seeing that they had this ability, Angé looked amazed. He searched for traces of the siblings while calling out:

"Latios? Latias?"

Actually, as long as he activated his aura, he could easily locate the siblings' positions.

The reason the siblings could become invisible was actually by using the special feathers on their bodies to deceive other people's vision through the refraction of light; they didn't truly disappear.

In Angé's call, Latios and Latias reappeared.

Seeing this, Angé said, "Since you have this ability, then I'm relieved."

Then, under his gaze, the siblings disappeared again, flying out of the window one after the other.

After leaving the Munchlax residence, the siblings first flew to a high altitude to overlook the Royal Capital.

Although it was early in the morning, the office workers of the Royal Capital had already begun to go out to work, so the streets were full of people.

Although Azoth Royal Capital had largely maintained its retro style, it was still vastly different from the era in which Latios and Latias lived.

In the era they lived in, humans lived in great poverty and hardship, completely different from the affluent human world of today.

After watching for a while, the siblings swooped down from the sky until they landed on the surface of the Royal Capital's artificial river.

They flew quickly close to the surface of the river, and the shock waves they created stirred up waves on the water.

After passing through a large bridge, they gradually approached the riverbank, and then began to fly along the riverbank.

Large areas of grassland were planted on the banks of the artificial river, and people came here for walks every morning.

When Latias saw a mother holding her daughter's hand, slowly walking along the riverbank, it quietly approached.

At this time, the mother was teasing her daughter, pinching her cheek, and the daughter giggled.

Latias stretched out its claw and, imitating the mother, playfully poked the daughter's face.

"Huh?" The daughter stopped smiling and looked around in confusion.

The mother asked, "What's wrong?"

"Mommy, something poked my face!" The five- or six-year-old daughter said loudly.

The mother shook her head helplessly and said, "What nonsense are you talking about, child? There's no one else here except you and me!"

The daughter said stubbornly, "There really was!"

"Okay, okay, there was, there was, okay? The one who poked you just now was actually Mommy!"

"Mommy's bad, Mommy doesn't believe me!" The mother's perfunctory reply failed to appease the daughter.

So, the mother and daughter gradually walked away in an argument.

Latias couldn't help but giggle when it saw the prank succeed.

At this time, Latios flew to its side and sternly scolded it. Latias shrank its neck and followed its brother away, feeling wronged.

The siblings continued to fly forward, all the way to a tall building, where they saw an advertisement being played on a large screen in front of the building.

Latias leaned over and asked its brother, "Woo~ Woo~" What is this? Why are there people inside?

"Woo~" Latios didn't recognize it either, so it could only shake its head.

However, at this moment, the content being played on the big screen suddenly changed from an advertisement to a Pokémon battle. Charizard spat flames, which roared past Latias's face.

"Woo~~~" Latias was startled and flew to its brother's side, screaming.

A passerby downstairs asked his companion in confusion, "Did you hear any strange noises?"

His friend said, "Did I?"

The passerby looked left and right, but didn't find anything strange, so he muttered to himself, "Was it my imagination?"

In the air, Latios hugged his sister and comforted her. When he realized that the picture being played on the big screen couldn't affect them, Latias mustered up the courage to go over again.

Before long, Latios began to shake his head and sigh helplessly.

Latias was clearly quite frightened just now, but now it was already cheering loudly for both sides of the match.

What a fickle sister!

After leaving the big screen, the siblings continued to shuttle through the Royal Capital, and witnessed many new and strange things.

They could be considered to have broadened their horizons.

After flying for who knows how long, the siblings flew into a residential area.

Playing around, they flew down a flight of stairs, Latias came to an alley, and Latios closely followed behind his sister.

At this time, they saw a little boy standing under the eaves of a house, staring blankly.

It turned out that his balloon was hanging on the eaves, and he couldn't reach it no matter what.

Latias looked at the little boy jumping up and down under the eaves in confusion, but Latios cleverly guessed that the little boy was trying to reach the balloon, so he flew over, took the balloon down, and brought it all the way to the little boy.

The balloon suddenly floated towards him, but the little boy was not afraid. Instead, he looked at the balloon with curiosity.

Seeing that the little boy didn't take the balloon for a long time, Latios called out in confusion.

"Who? Who's there?" The little boy shouted when he heard the voice.

Upon hearing this, Latios didn't care about anything else, directly stuffed the string of the balloon into the little boy's hand, and then quickly flew away.

Doing good deeds without leaving a name, the siblings smiled at each other, then quickly passed through the alley, disappearing into the residential area in the blink of an eye.
