Gourmet master of the Pokemon world

Chapter 278: Apologies are useful, what do we need the police for?!

Hearing An Jie's question, the Family Mouse and Fidough glanced at each other, unsure how to answer for a moment.

They wanted to continue traveling; they enjoyed their days traveling to different places.

But after this experience, they hesitated.

Traveling was certainly free and happy, but there were also various unexpected dangers.

They had encountered dangers before, such as strong winds and rain, being chased by powerful Pokémon, and getting lost in the wilderness… Although dangerous, they had survived without any real harm.

But this time was different; Fidough almost lost its life.

If they hadn't met An Jie, they couldn't imagine what would have happened to Fidough.

Seeing their silence, An Jie asked, "What's wrong? No idea?"

The Family Mouse all nodded.

An Jie thought for a moment and said, "In that case, why don't you listen to my suggestion."

The Family Mouse and Fidough looked at An Jie simultaneously, their eyes filled with doubt.

An Jie smiled and said, "You can come home with me for a while, and when you've thought it over and want to travel again, you can set off from my house; if you're tired of wandering around and don't want to continue traveling, you can stay at my house."

The largest of the Family Mouse asked, "An Jie, do you want to catch us?"

It knew a little about human trainers.

An Jie nodded generously and admitted, "That's right, I'm a chef, and Fidough can produce special yeast, which is very useful to me, so I really want to catch it.

Also, my restaurant needs waiters, and I think you Family Mouse are very suitable!"

Kirlia definitely wouldn't be able to come back in a short time, and there would inevitably be a shortage of staff at Munchlax's house, so hiring new employees was imminent.

If the Family Mouse were willing to join, then this problem would be perfectly solved.

Although the Family Mouse didn't have psychic powers like Kirlia, one person could do the work of many, but they themselves had four members!

The Family Mouse and Fidough looked hesitant upon hearing this, unsure how to decide.

A smile appeared on An Jie's face, "Then let's work together for the time being!"

As he said that, he extended his right hand towards the Pokémon.

The four Family Mouse and Fidough all placed their small paws on An Jie's palm.

"Squeak, squeak~" Nice to meet you.

"Woof, woof~" Nice to meet you.

Then An Jie chatted with the Family Mouse and Fidough. He introduced them to the situation in Nibel Plateau and took out his phone to show them photos of the scenery in Nibel Plateau and the partners they would be working with.

An Jie's conversation with the Family Mouse and Fidough was so lively that Flygon and Glaceon also came over without realizing it.

After all, they were also about to go to Nibel Plateau to live, so they were naturally curious about the Nibel Plateau that An Jie was talking about.

Glaceon jumped onto the bed, curled up in a corner of the bed, well-behaved and cute.

Flygon was huge, so it only put its chin on the edge of the bed. Its quiet listening made its originally fierce face a little softer.

Latias and Latios leaned their heads on An Jie's legs on the left and right, and Aegislash also flew down from the wall and leaned quietly on the bedside.

For a time, the whole ward was filled with a warm atmosphere.

Because the weather in Ventus Town was cold, An Jie took out blankets and draped them over every Pokémon except Glaceon, making the ward even warmer.

Looking at the Pokémon getting along harmoniously with An Jie, Lilligant curled her lips in disdain.

Hmph, a bunch of guys who don't know the sinister nature of humans!

Florges and Floette were attracted by the conversation and wanted to come over and listen, but they received a fierce glare from Lilligant.

Florges muttered in a low voice, "We've already eaten the food made by An Jie, why care about this…"

Lilligant: . . .

Although she didn't want to get close to An Jie on the surface, Lilligant's eyes always uncontrollably drifted in the direction of An Jie and the others, and her attention was always attracted.

Time passed by, and when Lilligant came back to her senses, she was only a short distance away from An Jie and the others.

She quickly pretended to move away from An Jie and the others inadvertently.

As for Florges and Floette, they had already completely joined An Jie and the others' discussion, and their crisp laughter echoed in the ward.

Florges accidentally turned her head and saw her teacher staring at her straightly, so she smiled awkwardly at her teacher.

Teacher, I'm sorry, but what An Jie said was so interesting.

Lilligant sighed deeply and finally chose to turn a blind eye to Florges and Floette's behavior.

After midnight, the voices of An Jie and the Pokémon gradually became smaller until they were completely quiet.

The Pokémon all fell asleep one after another, and An Jie also lay on the bedside and made a soft snoring sound.

Only Lilligant couldn't feel sleepy no matter what.

She walked to the window and saw that it had been snowing outside at some point.

She subconsciously wrapped the blanket around her body, looked back at An Jie, and then looked at the snow outside, her thoughts gradually drifting away.

When An Jie woke up the next day, the outside of the window was already covered with snow, and the room was brightly lit.

"Li Di~" You're awake!

Lilligant's voice sounded in An Jie's ear.

An Jie smiled and greeted her: "Good morning, Lilligant, you're up so early!"

Lilligant didn't get up early, she just didn't sleep all night.

In her impression, humans had always been evil beings, but in the short time she had been with An Jie, she had seen many different sides of humans, which made her very uncomfortable.

As a Pokémon who had lived for a long time, Lilligant's IQ was no less than that of a human, and her way of thinking was also very mature.

She realized that her previous understanding of humans was wrong, but her understanding of many years was broken, and she couldn't accept it for a while.

So she felt very conflicted.

After a while, the other Pokémon woke up one after another, and Nurse Joy specially came over to check on Fidough's condition.

After checking, she said: "Fidough's condition has stabilized, you can leave at any time, but remember to take your medicine on time."

An Jie: "Okay, thank you, Nurse Joy."

After Nurse Joy left, An Jie said to everyone: "Let's go back to Herb Village."

After saying that, he looked at the Family Mouse and said: "We agreed that after we go back, you will apologize to everyone in Herb Village."

The four Family Mice nodded at Anjie with expressions of generous sacrifice.

Anjie squatted down and rubbed their heads, saying, "Don't worry, I'll be with you."

"Squeak, squeak, squeak ~" The Family Mice looked at Anjie with gratitude. Anjie stroked their palms, letting them feel courage.

After getting the medicine for the Houndoom Pack from Nurse Joy, Anjie took everyone back to Vanilla Village on Latias, Latios, and Salamence.

When Anjie returned to Elder Andrew's house, the elder's family was having breakfast.

Seeing Anjie, Grandma Yulian immediately got up and said, "Anjie, you're finally back. You rushed out last night saying you had something to do and didn't come back all night. I was so worried."

Anjie quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, Grandma Yulian, it's all my fault for worrying you."

"It's good that you're back! It's good that you're back!" Grandma Yulian patted Anjie's arm lightly.

Andrew immediately noticed the Family Mice following Anjie, "Anjie, why did you bring them back!" He strode up to the Family Mice and glared at them fiercely.

"Squeak, squeak, squeak ~ ~" The Family Mice were immediately frightened and hid behind Anjie.

Anjie pulled on Andrew's arm and said, "Grandpa Andrew, the Family Mice are here to apologize."

Andrew said, "If apologies were useful, what would we need the police for? Can their apologies make up for our losses?"

Anjie sighed and said, "The Family Mice did this for a reason."

So he told Andrew the reason why the Family Mice stole the Mind Herbs.

After listening, Andrew's anger finally subsided, but he still refused to forgive the Family Mice.

At this time, Grandma Yulian stepped forward and slapped her old partner, saying, "Alright, don't be angry. What's the use of being angry when things have already happened?"

"Hmph ~" Andrew turned his head away from Grandma Yulian.

Anjie said, "To compensate for the losses caused by the Family Mice, you don't have to give me my reward this time!"

The Family Mice were immediately moved and looked at Anjie with gratitude.

But Andrew was unhappy when he heard this, "How can that be? They caused the trouble, how can we let you bear the losses?"

Anjie explained, "I've already subdued them, so I'll naturally bear the consequences of their trouble."

The Family Mice looked guilty upon hearing this because they hadn't agreed to formally follow Anjie and couldn't be considered Anjie's Pokémon.

Andrew glared and said, "They caused trouble before, and you subdued them after. We can't calculate it that way!"

Anjie thought for a while and said, "Then let's do this. Please take us for a walk. The Family Mice want to apologize to the villagers who suffered losses. Whether everyone forgives them or not, they must apologize."

Andrew hesitated for a moment and said, "Alright, for your sake!"

Subsequently, under Andrew's leadership, Anjie accompanied the Family Mice to apologize to each household.

Of course, most of the villagers did not forgive the Family Mice, even though they had a reason, but some people felt that the Family Mice were loyal and righteous and chose to forgive them.

After the apology, Anjie took the Family Mice back to Andrew's house. He said to the Family Mice:

"The matter is considered to be over."

The Family Mice breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. It was really too difficult for them, who were timid, to face so many villagers who hated them.

Andrew then asked, "Anjie, when are you planning to leave? I'll see you off!"

Anjie said, "I'll leave this afternoon, but I have something I want to ask you before I leave."

Andrew seemed to have thought of something and asked, "Do you want to buy herbs from our village?"

Anjie nodded, "That's right, that's the thing!"

Andrew shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, Anjie, I can't sell it to you."

Thinking of what Grandma Lainey had said, Anjie quickly explained, "Grandpa Andrew, I'm not buying herbs to sell. I'm not a merchant who deals in herbs. I'm just a chef who wants to buy some herbs for personal use."

However, Andrew still shook his head, "No matter what your purpose is, we can't sell herbs to you!"

"Why?" Anjie asked in confusion.

Andrew sighed and explained, "The herbs grown in our village are all under contract with partners. Generally, we grow as much as the partners want, and there is no extra to sell to you."

"I see..." Anjie was very disappointed after hearing this.

Andrew said, "Anjie, I'm sorry, although I also want to sell some to you, it's not possible..."

Although he did misunderstand that Anjie was a merchant who wanted to discuss cooperation with them, he wasn't blind. After spending some time together, he had already realized that he had misunderstood earlier.

Anjie waved his hand and said, "I understand, you don't have to feel sorry."

Andrew was busy, so he left after chatting with Anjie for a few words.

Thinking that he had made a wasted trip this time, Anjie sat in the yard with a sad face.

At this time, Grandma Yulian smiled and waved at him.

"Anjie, come here! Come here!"

Anjie walked over and asked, "Grandma Yulian, is there anything?"

"Do you want to buy herbs?" Grandma Yulian asked.

Anjie nodded, "Yes, do you have a way?"

"Of course!" Grandma Yulian said rather proudly, "This little thing can't stump me!"

"But aren't the herbs in the village all under contract?" Anjie asked in confusion.

"The way I'm introducing you to is not in the village, and there is no contract with anyone," Grandma Yulian said mysteriously.

Anjie's eyes lit up upon hearing this, "That's great, please tell me quickly."

Grandma Yulian didn't beat around the bush and directly introduced to Anjie, "There is a manor in the northeast direction of our village. It is a vacation villa for wealthy people. My brother works there as a housekeeper.

That family has planted a large number of herbs to decorate the manor. You go there to find my brother and let him communicate with the owner to see if he can sell you the herbs."

Anjie hesitated and said, "But wealthy people don't lack money. Are they really willing to sell herbs?"

Grandma Yulian patted Anjie's arm and said, "How would you know if you don't try! I'll call my brother later and ask him to help you. The possibility is still very high!"

"Thank you, Grandma Yulian!" Anjie said happily.

Grandma Yulian said with a smile, "You're welcome, you're welcome. It's also a kind of fate that we can meet!"

Anjie nodded and said, "You're right!"

After getting the specific location of the manor from Grandma Yulian, Anjie set off with the Pokémon.

The manor was not far from Vanilla Village. Anjie rode Salamence and arrived at the destination in just over ten minutes.
