Gourmet master of the Pokemon world

“Miss Diantha?” Ash called out the name of the person in front of him in surprise.

“Ash, long time no see!” Diantha greeted Ash with a smile.

Ash walked quickly to Diantha and said, “Miss Diantha, what are you doing here?”

Diantha first gestured for Ash to sit down, and only after Ash sat down did she say, “The League has investigated and found that Team Flare has been appearing frequently in Lumiose City recently, so I came to take a look.

I didn't expect to run into the Team Flare members you sent to the police station, so I thought I'd come and see you.”

Ash suddenly understood, “So that's how it is!”

Then he asked, “Miss Diantha, how is the League's investigation into Team Flare going?”

Diantha replied, “The investigation is going smoothly. You don't know until you investigate, but Team Flare has secretly done so many things in the Kalos region over the years!”

At this moment, Diantha suddenly fell silent. After a long time, she opened her mouth and said, “Do you think Lysandre is really the leader of Team Flare?”

Ash didn't answer, but instead asked, “Has the League launched an investigation into Lysandre?”

Diantha nodded lightly.

“Then what's the result?” Ash continued to ask.

Diantha paused for a moment, then said, “A lot of problems have been found…”

Although there is no evidence to prove that Lysandre is the leader of Team Flare, those problems are enough to explain the issue.

Ash spread his hands, “Then you must already have the answer in your heart.”

“I just can't believe it…” Diantha sighed deeply.

She has always had a good relationship with Lysandre, because the two share common interests, so although they have a big age difference, they still became friends. Diantha even regarded him as a confidant.

She didn't expect that Lysandre had been carrying out charitable work on the surface, but secretly planning to destroy the world.

Ash said, “People are complex creatures. The side he shows to others is just the side he wants others to see, and no one knows his true face except himself!”

Diantha said with emotion, “You're right!”

Ash thought for a while and told Diantha, “Today I learned from the Pokémon in Terminus Cave that Zygarde has indeed fallen into the hands of Team Flare.

In order to control Zygarde, they even wanted to capture Pokémon that were close to Zygarde to threaten it. Those people I caught were the ones who were carrying out this task!”

Diantha was very shocked after hearing this, and then said with a face full of indignation, “It's really hateful, what do they think Pokémon are!”

Ash took a deep breath and said, “I hope the League can find Zygarde's whereabouts as soon as possible and rescue it, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable.”

Diantha assured Ash, “Don't worry, we will definitely do it as soon as possible!”

Ash nodded.

Then, after the two chatted for a while, Diantha hurriedly left the Pokémon Center.

Ash stayed at the Pokémon Center that night, staying with Glaceon and the unconscious Salamence.

He also borrowed the Pokémon Center's kitchen to make a delicious and nutritious dinner for Glaceon.

After Glaceon finished eating, it finally understood why Master Zygarde always missed the food made by Ash.

It was so delicious!

Ash slept in the ward for one night. When he got up the next morning, he only felt back pain.

The ward where the Pokémon lived only had one bed for the Pokémon to rest on. Ash spent the whole night lying on the side of the bed, so how could he not have back pain.

Seeing that Glaceon hadn't woken up yet, Ash planned to wash up first and then go out for a morning exercise.

However, as soon as he walked out of the room, he saw Nurse Joy running out excitedly with big dark circles under her eyes!

“Found it! I finally found it!” He only heard her muttering.

When she saw Ash, she immediately ran over excitedly and said, “Mr. Ash, I have found a way to treat Salamence!”

Ash's face lit up when he heard this, “Really? That's great!”

However, Nurse Joy then said with a worried face, “However, the treatment requires a rare herb, and I don't have any in stock at the moment…”

Ash frowned when he heard this, “Then what should I do? Can I buy it somewhere else? I'll go buy it!”

Nurse Joy shook her head, “You can't buy it. It's not a common medicinal material, and no one sells it at all.”

“Then what should I do?” Ash's heart, which had just been relieved, was raised again.

Nurse Joy was also very troubled, “There is a place that has it, but…” Speaking of this, Nurse Joy suddenly stopped.

“But what?” Ash quickly asked.

Nurse Joy replied, “There are many powerful wild Pokémon living there, and they are very exclusive. Even professional trainers have difficulty reaching it, so…”

“Nurse Joy, please tell me what that place is. I'll go pick it!” Ash said.

“But… it's really dangerous there!” Nurse Joy didn't want Ash to take risks.

Ash insisted, “Nurse Joy, I can handle it. We can't let Salamence keep sleeping like this, can we? What if something goes wrong while he's sleeping?”

“This…” Nurse Joy was in a dilemma.

Seeing this, Ash continued, “Nurse Joy, although I'm not a trainer, I have a group of reliable partners around me, so please rest assured, no matter what difficulties, my partners and I can overcome them!”

Seeing Ash so insistent, Nurse Joy had no choice but to say, “Alright then!”

With that, she turned around and went back to her room. When she came back, she had a thick book and a map in her hand.

Nurse Joy opened the book and pointed to a picture on it, saying, “This is the herb I need. It's called Redwing Grass. Don't be fooled by its conspicuous appearance, but in reality, it's not easy to find because it's rare.”

Ash nodded, carefully observing the appearance of the Redwing Grass, trying to imprint it in his mind.

Redwing Grass, the grass is as its name suggests, the two leaves at the top flutter like butterfly wings. Just looking at the picture, Ash could imagine it dancing in the breeze.

It must be very beautiful!

After Ash memorized the appearance of the Redwing Grass, Nurse Joy handed him the map and said:

“This is the map of Eindoak Forest. It records some locations where Redwing Grass may grow, as well as the habitats of some powerful Pokémon. I hope it can help you!

Eindoak Forest is just north of Lumiose City. If you go north all the way, you will soon see Eindoak Forest.”

Ash nodded and took the map from Nurse Joy.

“I wish you a safe trip.” Nurse Joy said.

Ash: “Nurse Joy, I will definitely bring back the Redwing Grass. Until then, I'll leave Glaceon and Salamence to you!”

Nurse Joy smiled, “Don't worry!”

Looking at the dark circles under Miss Joy's eyes, Anjay said, "Miss Joy, you've been busy all night without rest, haven't you?"

Miss Joy said embarrassedly, "Haha~~ I was so busy that I forgot the time. When I came back to my senses, I realized it was dawn!"

Anjay said, "You've really worked hard!"

Miss Joy didn't care and said, "It's a common occurrence. I'm used to it!"

Anjay said, "You should go and rest quickly, don't exhaust yourself."

Miss Joy yawned and said, "I can't hold on anymore. I'm going to sleep for a while. If Ice Eevee and the others need anything, just find Wigglytuff. If that doesn't work, let Wigglytuff wake me up."

Anjay nodded: "I understand."

After Miss Joy left, Anjay washed up and returned to the ward. Because he planned to go and collect the Red Butterfly Grass as soon as possible, he directly canceled his morning exercise plan.

At this time, Ice Eevee had already woken up. Anjay said to it, "Ice Eevee, I'm going out to collect the medicinal herbs to treat Salamence's illness later. You stay here obediently. If anything happens, find Miss Joy's assistant, Wigglytuff."

"Glaceon~" Ice Eevee nodded.

Anjay thought for a while and released Doublade and Komala.

After putting Komala on Ice Eevee's bedside, he said to Doublade, "Doublade, can I trouble you to stay and take care of Ice Eevee?"

"You~ You~" Doublade was very excited when he heard that Anjay was going to leave him behind.

He is Anjay's guardian, how can he leave Anjay's side?

Anjay quickly said, "Doublade, protecting Ice Eevee and Salamence is also very important. Now you are the only one I can rely on!"

"You~~" Doublade lowered the ribbons on the hilt of the sword in disappointment.

"Good, I'll give you a reward when I come back!" Anjay smiled and stroked Doublade's blade.

"You~" Doublade nodded lightly, agreeing.

After Anjay left, Doublade hung himself on the wall, looking very listless.

Seeing this, Ice Eevee looked up at it and said, "Glaceon~ Glaceon~~" You are too weak, so Anjay won't take you!

"You~ You~" Doublade was very excited when he heard this. He is not weak, and Anjay is not that kind of person.

Komala on the bedside moved its ears, turned over, and continued to hug the tree pillow and sleep soundly.

"If that's not the case, why would Anjay leave you behind?" Ice Eevee asked.

Doublade was about to refute, but heard Ice Eevee mutter to himself: "I am also too weak, so Zygarde will be caught, and Salamence will be in a coma.

If I can become stronger… … maybe… … maybe… …"

Hearing this, Doublade swallowed the words that came to his lips.

Recalling Ice Eevee's words, he couldn't help but start thinking: How great would it be if he could become as strong as Latios and Latias!

Thinking like this, he flew down from the wall, flew out of the window and came to the courtyard, and began to practice swordsmanship again and again.

He wants to become stronger! Strong enough to protect Anjay no matter what happens.

He absolutely doesn't want to experience Ice Eevee's regret!

Ice Eevee stared blankly at the diligent Doublade outside the window, his thoughts flying somewhere.

On Anjay's side, after leaving the Pokémon Center, he rode on Latios and headed towards Geen Forest according to Miss Joy's instructions.

After flying north for about two hours, Anjay finally saw an endless forest.

The forest is dense and deep, and you can tell at a glance that it is a place that has nurtured many lives.

We're here, Anjay thought.

Opening the map, he began to look for the corresponding location on it.

This map was left by Miss Joy's grandmother and is already fifty years old, so some of the records on it are not accurate. Miss Joy told Anjay to use his discretion.

After comparing it for a long time, Anjay selected a direction and started to move.

He was going to a canyon. According to the map, a powerful Golem lived there, and he didn't know if it was still there.

"Latios, fly over there!" Anjay said to Latios, pointing in the direction of the canyon.

"Woo~~" Latios groaned softly, then carried Anjay and accelerated, disappearing into the sky in the blink of an eye.

Before long, Anjay and Latios arrived above a canyon.

Compared to other places in the forest, this canyon has sparse vegetation and exposed rocks everywhere. It is indeed a place suitable for Rock-type Pokémon to live in.

"It doesn't look like a place where Red Butterfly Grass grows…" Anjay muttered in a low voice.

He patted Latios' neck and said, "Latios, fly down a little."

"Woo~~" Latios nodded and immediately descended slowly.

As soon as they landed in the canyon, they heard a burst of noise coming from not far away.

Anjay whispered to Latios, "Let's go take a look!"

Latios nodded.

Anjay didn't want to alarm the Pokémon here, because Miss Joy said that the Pokémon in Geen Forest are very xenophobic.

He asked Miss Joy the reason. Miss Joy said that deep in Geen Forest lives a king of all Pokémon.

A long, long time ago, the king's child was stolen by a human trainer who trespassed into the forest, and since then the king has resented humans.

Following the sound, Anjay and Latios passed through the winding canyon and finally came to an open space in the center of the canyon.

I saw a Chatot standing proudly on top of a huge rock in the center of the open space, singing, and strings of colorful notes floated from its mouth.

Below the rock, a group of Geodudes, Gravelers, and Golems were dancing with their hands and feet to the tune of Chatot's singing. The atmosphere was so lively!

The king of Geen Forest likes to sing, so the Pokémon here also like music and dance, and that's how Geen Forest got its name.

Passing over the dancing bodies of Geodudes, Gravelers, and Golems, Anjay saw a deep cave, and at the entrance of the cave was a Golem lying down with its eyes closed.

This Golem is at least twice as big as a normal Golem, and exudes a fierce aura.

Anjay guessed that this Golem should be the one marked on the map.

Fifty years have passed, and it doesn't look old at all.

Anjay hid in the dark and looked around, but he didn't see the shadow of Red Butterfly Grass, so he planned to leave quietly.

However, at this moment, Chatot suddenly flew up from the rock and made a sharp cry.

"There are humans! There are humans!"

It turned out that Chatot had sensed Anjay's existence through the singing echoing in the canyon.

The moment Chatot issued a warning, the large Golem suddenly opened its eyes.
