Gourmet master of the Pokemon world

Carne said, "Whether it's your help, or the help of Aegislash and Komala, it's all the same to me."

An Jay smiled and said, "Alright, then I'll accept Miss Carne's thanks."

Carne mysteriously said, "My thanks are not just words."

An Jay asked in confusion, "Then what else is there?"

Carne took out a CD and placed it in front of An Jay, "This is for you."

An Jay said in surprise, "This is... a TM?"

Carne nodded and said, "That's right, it's the TM for the move Meteor Beam."

An Jay was even more surprised, "You're really giving me something so precious?"

Meteor Beam is a Rock-type move with a power of 120, but the drawback is that it needs to charge up before it can be used.

Carne nodded and said, "Of course, I don't need it anymore, it should be useful to you."

An Jay thought for a while and said, "Then I'll accept it without ceremony."

Earlier, Ya Xuan sent him the TM for Iron Head, and he hadn't had time to let his Pokémon learn it yet, and now he received the TM for Meteor Beam.

Diancie can learn Meteor Beam, and it's even a STAB move.

Of course, Metagross can also learn it.

However, like Iron Head, Meteor Beam is a Special Attack move, and it's not very compatible with Metagross, who specializes in Physical Attack.

Carne said, "Just accept it."

After putting away the TM, An Jay said, "Miss Carne, can I ask you for a favor?"

Carne said, "Tell me."

An Jay said, "It's like this, I'm looking for someone who may have participated in the League Tournament, so I want to know the list of participants in the League Tournaments in various regions in the last 50 years.

I don't know if you can get it."

"This..." Carne fell into deep thought, "I can get it, but this kind of information cannot be spread outside."

"I see..." An Jay said with disappointment on his face, "Then there's no way."

Carne couldn't help but chuckle, "I'm just teasing you, it wouldn't be possible for others, but for you, An Jay, I'll make an exception!"

An Jay's face turned from worry to joy, "Really? That's great, thank you, Miss Carne."

Carne said, "You're welcome, it's just a small matter, I'll send you the information after I go back and sort it out."

"Okay." An Jay nodded.

"By the way, how is that Tyrunt doing with you?" Carne suddenly asked.

An Jay smiled and said, "It's living a very comfortable life, running around on the grassland in my house all day long, carefree, I'm even envious of it!"

Speaking of this, he suddenly took out his phone and said, "I have photos of it here, do you want to see them?"

"Yes!" Carne replied happily.

An Jay opened the phone album, flipped out the photos of Tyrunt for Carne to see, he saved a lot of photos of his own Pokémon in his phone, and stored them in different albums.

After finding the photos of Tyrunt, An Jay handed the phone to Carne.

"Look, this one was taken when it was eating!"

In the photo, Tyrunt, after eating its own food, set its sights on Bunnelby's food, and as a result, Bunnelby gave it a big slap.

When An Jay took the photo, it was looking at the camera with tears in its eyes.

An Jay asked, "How is Aurorus doing?"

Carne said, "Let me show you in person."

As she spoke, she took out a Poké Ball, and with a flash of red light, Aurorus appeared outside.

"Amaura~~" As soon as Aurorus came out, it happily went to Carne's side and kept gently nuzzling Carne with its head.

"Good girl, good girl." Carne gently stroked Aurorus' neck with her hand.

However, Aurorus' body was too cold, and Carne couldn't touch it for a long time, so she stopped after touching it twice.

An Jay greeted Aurorus, "Aurorus, long time no see!"

Only then did Aurorus notice that there was someone else next to it, it tilted its head, stared at An Jay for a while before recognizing that the person in front of it was the one who saved it with Carne.

"Amaura~~" It called out happily, then trotted to An Jay's side and gently rubbed An Jay's arm with its head.

"Good girl."

An Jay imitated Carne and touched Aurorus' neck, and immediately gasped in a cold breath, so he quickly retracted his hand.

"Hahaha~~" Carne was amused by An Jay's appearance, "Didn't expect Aurorus to be so cold, right?"

"Amaura~ Amaura~" Aurorus was infected by Carne's laughter and laughed along with her.

An Jay pretended to be angry and said, "You didn't remind me, and you're still laughing at me."

In fact, although Aurorus' body is extremely cold, they themselves are very fragile Pokémon.

Once the surrounding environment temperature is too high, their body temperature will be out of balance, which will endanger their lives.

Only when they evolve into Aurorus can they control the surrounding temperature.

In ancient times, Amaura and Aurorus were Pokémon that lived in extremely cold places, and would not appear in places with mild or hot climates.

Carne is only unaffected by the surrounding environment temperature because she wears Never-Melt Ice.

From its shiny scales, the size of its body that is larger than when An Jay first saw it, and its high spirits, it can be seen that it is well taken care of by Carne.

Carne is a busy person, and after chatting with An Jay for a while, she said goodbye and left.

After separating from Carne, An Jay planned to return to the ward.

But after walking a few steps, he saw Nurse Joy walking over with a worried face.

"Nurse Joy, what's wrong?" An Jay asked in confusion.

"Sigh~" Nurse Joy sighed deeply, "When I just went to the warehouse, I found that a batch of Mental Herbs had been eaten by bugs, and now they can't be used, but I can't bear to throw them away..."

As she spoke, Nurse Joy sighed deeply again.

Mental Herbs are a good material for making sedatives in medicine, and the Bai Ke City Pokémon Center had just received a batch not long ago, but unexpectedly, they were eaten by bugs due to improper storage.

Mental Herbs are not cheap, so Nurse Joy was so distressed.

An Jay fell into deep thought when he heard this, Mental Herbs are one of the materials that can be used to make Three-Flavor Tea.

Although the system rewarded him with the seeds of Mental Herb, White Herb, and Power Herb when it rewarded the recipe, this kind of thing cannot be grown immediately.

So if An Jay wants to make Three-Flavor Tea immediately, then he needs to buy the materials himself first.

Making tea is a technical skill that Ange had never encountered before, so he felt he definitely needed to practice more.

Why not buy Miss Joy's batch of damaged Soothe Herbs to practice with? That way, he could also help Miss Joy.

With this in mind, Ange said, "Miss Joy, can you take me to see those Soothe Herbs?"

"Huh?" Miss Joy was taken aback. "Do you have some idea?"

Ange said, "If possible, I'd like to buy them to stir-fry tea leaves. Pharmaceutical products have high requirements for the quality of Soothe Herbs, but we food makers don't have so many requirements."

Miss Joy said in surprise, "Soothe Herbs can also be used to stir-fry tea leaves."

Ange smiled and said, "That's right, it's my exclusive secret recipe."

Miss Joy was amused by Ange, "Alright, if you can really use them, that would be a great help to me!"

With that, Miss Joy took Ange to the Pokémon Center's warehouse specially used for storing medicinal materials.

When they arrived at the warehouse, Ange saw rows of shelves inside, with various medicinal materials packed in boxes or containers.

For example, Arbok's shed skin, Parasect's spores, Chikorita's fallen leaves, etc... Each item was properly preserved.

As Miss Joy led Ange inside, she said with a pained expression, "Each of these medicinal materials is not easy to collect. I put a lot of effort into preserving them, but I didn't expect the Soothe Herbs to be worm-eaten."

Ange said, "Soothe Herbs are inherently prone to attracting insects, so there's nothing that can be done about it."

When they arrived at the inner part of the warehouse, Ange saw several rows of wooden boxes, neatly filled with stacks of blue and white leaves.

They were the Soothe Herbs.

Because of the Soothe Herbs, the air in this warehouse was filled with a faint fragrance, refreshing and pleasant.

Miss Joy pointed to two of the boxes and said, "Those are the damaged Soothe Herbs."

Ange walked over to take a look and saw many round holes in the palm-sized leaves.

Although these Soothe Herbs had been worm-eaten, they were still neatly stacked by Miss Joy.

Ange picked up a piece of Soothe Herb and looked at it, and found that the worm damage was lighter than he had imagined.

He flipped through it and found that the most severely worm-eaten ones had been placed on top by Miss Joy, and the situation below was actually not serious.

"How is it?" Miss Joy asked, "Can they be used?"

Ange nodded, "Yes, they can be used. Miss Joy, sell me these Soothe Herbs!"

Miss Joy said happily, "That's great, as long as they can be used. Don't mention selling, I'll give them all to you!"

Ange quickly said, "That won't do!"

Miss Joy said with a straight face, "Why not? If it weren't for you, the Pokémon Center would still be in trouble. Consider these Soothe Herbs my thank you gift to you!"

Ange shook his head and said, "These are two different things, and these Soothe Herbs are public assets, right? If you give them to me, you'll have to pay to make up for it yourself."

Although the owners of the various Pokémon Centers are all Miss Joy, they are actually public facilities of the League, and the assets inside belong to the League.

Miss Joy said, "These were originally losses caused by my mistake, and they would have to be disposed of even if I didn't give them to you. I was only hesitant before because I felt sorry for them.

If you don't accept them, I'll be angry."

Ange hesitated, "But Soothe Herbs are very expensive. If I accept them for nothing..."

Miss Joy stared at Ange with wide eyes and said, "If I give them to you, just accept them. Why are you being so fussy?"

Seeing Miss Joy's persistence, Ange said helplessly, "Okay, okay, then I'll shamelessly accept them."

"That's right!" A smile finally appeared on Miss Joy's face.

After putting the two boxes of Soothe Herbs into his backpack, Ange asked again, "Miss Joy, do you know where I can buy Power Herbs and White Herbs? I want to buy some."

He needed a large quantity, so it wasn't suitable to buy them at the Poké Mart. It would be better to buy them directly from the source.

Since the Pokémon Center often buys Soothe Herbs in large quantities, it must know the source.

Where there are Soothe Herbs for sale, there is naturally a greater possibility of selling Power Herbs and White Herbs.

"Of course I know this!" Miss Joy replied. She joked, "I definitely wouldn't tell the average person, but since the person asking is Ange, then of course I will tell you everything I know."

"Then thank you, beautiful and kind Miss Joy!" Ange followed her lead.

Miss Joy giggled at Ange's words.

"To the west of Celadon City, there is a place called Herb Village. They have been growing herbs for generations, and the herbs they grow are of extremely high quality. Our Soothe Herbs are sourced from there."

With that, Miss Joy sent Ange the location of Herb Village.

Ange thought to himself, "Isn't this on the way back to Azoth? Perfect, I can stop by and take a look on the way back."

"Thank you, Miss Joy, you've been a great help!"

"It's nothing, I'm glad I could help," Miss Joy said.

After learning more about Herb Village from Miss Joy, Ange returned to the ward.

At this time, Salamence had eaten its fill and was lying lazily on the floor.

Seeing Ange enter the room, the Pokémon in the room all looked at him.

Ange said with a smile, "Glaceon's injuries have healed, and Salamence has woken up. It's time for us to return to Azoth."

"Woo ~"

"Woo ~"

Latias and Latios were the first to fly to Ange's side to express their agreement.

Although they hadn't stayed in the Nibel Plateau for long, they had already begun to miss everything there after leaving for this short period of time.

Although they were curious about the outside world before, after experiencing it, they still felt that it was more comfortable to stay in the Nibel Plateau.

Gardevoir and Gallade also expressed that they missed everyone at home very much, and wondered if everyone had been eating well.

Salamence and Glaceon expressed their anticipation for going to Ange's house.

Even Flabébé and Floette were faintly looking forward to a new "adventure land".

They had been living in the Couriway Town since they were born and had never seen the outside world, so it was inevitable that they would be curious.

Only Lilligant didn't react much. She came to the human world to find Xiaochen, and now she was full of these thoughts and had no intention to consider other things.

After deciding to go back, Ange took the Pokémon and set off that afternoon.

Before leaving, he also went to the Celadon Gym and said hello to Ms. Erika.
