Gourmet master of the Pokemon world

Chapter 282: Scampering Away

The barbecue lasted until very late, with everyone eating until their bellies were round.

Because of this barbecue, Anjay and Cynthia became thoroughly acquainted.

Cynthia stayed at Anjay's place until 11:00 PM before leaving, her cheeks slightly flushed, clearly a little tipsy.

After Cynthia left, Anjay felt like he had also had a bit too much to drink, so he quickly took his Pokémon to wash up and go to sleep.

Anjay fell asleep that night hugging his Komala, but in the middle of the night, he vaguely felt that his arms were empty.

He suddenly opened his eyes, only to find that his arms were already completely empty.

Anjay directly activated his Aura sense, and almost instantly, he sensed Komala's Aura from the courtyard outside.

"Komala is outside," Anjay said to Aegislash, who was searching for Komala's figure, then he got out of bed and walked slowly to the window.

With the help of the bright moonlight, Anjay saw Komala rolling around on the lawn in the courtyard.

Aegislash flew to Anjay's side and also saw the agitated Komala.

Komala would stop rolling for a moment every so often, and then frantically pound the ground with its small paws.

Because it was worried about waking up Anjay and the sleeping Pokémon, it even tried its best to restrain itself, not making too much noise, otherwise the courtyard would already be full of holes from its pounding.

But the more it restrained itself, the more agitated its emotions became, and the harder it was to control.

Anjay jumped lightly, easily leaping out the window into the courtyard, and quickly walked to Komala's side, softly asking:

"Can't sleep soundly without a tree pillow?"

Hearing Anjay's voice, Komala suddenly stopped, and then rolled to Anjay's feet.

Anjay bent down and picked it up, gently patting its back while soothingly saying, "Tomorrow morning, I'll help you find a suitable tree to make a tree pillow."

"Gilu~ Gilu~" I'll help too!

Aegislash flew over and said at this moment.

Anjay continued, "Let's just bear with it tonight, and tomorrow, no matter what, I'll help you find suitable wood to make a tree pillow!"

Anjay's voice seemed to possess some kind of power, calming Komala's agitation, and its restless emotions gradually subsided.

Seeing that Komala had calmed down, Anjay smiled and said, "Let's go back and continue sleeping, if we don't get enough sleep, we won't have the energy to find wood to make a tree pillow tomorrow."

"Gilu~" Aegislash responded, expressing its agreement.

So Anjay carried Komala and Aegislash back into the house.

Aegislash re-hung itself on the wall, while Anjay carried Komala to bed.

Komala snuggled in Anjay's arms, curled up, its two small paws tightly clutching Anjay's clothes, and under Anjay's gentle patting, it fell into a deep sleep, its originally furrowed brow gradually smoothing out.

Listening to Komala's soft snoring, a smile appeared on Anjay's face, and as he patted, he also fell into a dream.

This time, they slept soundly until dawn.

Early in the morning, just as Anjay and his Pokémon finished washing up, Bernard knocked on the door.

He had come to call Anjay to have breakfast.

He had also come to call Anjay for dinner last night, but at that time, Anjay's barbecue was already being prepared, so he refused.

Since they were in a hurry this morning, Anjay accepted Bernard's arrangement and had breakfast at the manor.

After breakfast, under Bernard's arrangement, Anjay met the helpers he had found to pick herbs for him.

Looking at the Pokémon in front of him, Anjay was stunned.

"They are..."

Standing in front of Anjay were several Psychic-type Pokémon, some of which he recognized.

Natu, Elgyem, Gallade, Gothitelle, Sigilyph, Bronzong, Musharna, and Metagross.

Bernard smiled and introduced to Anjay, "These are all Miss's Pokémon. Originally, I wanted to arrange for people from the manor to help pick herbs, but the Pokémon knew about this and took the initiative to offer to help, so I agreed!"

Caitlin's Pokémon waved to Anjay in greeting.

Anjay smiled and said, "Hello everyone, then I'll have to trouble you today!"

"Ge Qi~"

"Elu~"

"Meng Meng~"

......

Several Pokémon expressed that it was no trouble at all. Some of them had specifically come to see Anjay, which is why they offered to help Bernard, because Anjay had defeated Gallade, which made them very curious about Anjay.

"Then let's start working!" Bernard called out to everyone.

Upon hearing this, Anjay took out a Poké Ball and released Gardevoir and Gallade.

"Everyone, please help too!"

"Elu~"

"Shana~"

......

Gardevoir and Gallade cheered and went into the herb field with Caitlin's Pokémon.

Maushold, Lilligant, Floette, and Flabébé also came forward to help.

Glaceon and Dachsbun couldn't pick herbs, so they carried baskets and followed behind everyone as assistants.

The Psychic-type Pokémon were so efficient at their work. With just a thought, pieces of herbs automatically flew into the baskets, and each piece was neatly stacked together.

Anjay, who was slow at working, was directly嫌弃 (xián qì - disliked/despised) by the Pokémon, so Gardevoir pushed him out of the herb field.

"Shana~ Shana~" Anjay, you go rest, we can handle things here!

Anjay embarrassedly touched his nose and said, "Alright then, thank you all."

Gardevoir waved her hand and said, "No trouble, no trouble!"

Also pushed out was the butler Bernard, who was similarly嫌弃 (xián qì - disliked/despised) by Gothitelle and the others.

The two couldn't help but smile at each other.

"I'm old, I'm not good at working anymore. Back in the day, I was also a good hand at picking herbs," Butler Bernard said with a chuckle.

He wasn't bragging. He was from Herb Village, and his family had been growing herbs for generations, so he had been in contact with herbs since he was a child.

The reason why the herbs at Caitlin's manor grew so well was thanks to him!

Since he didn't need to pick herbs himself, Anjay thought about helping Komala find a tree pillow, so he asked Butler Bernard:

"Grandpa Bernard, do you know where there are good trees nearby?"

Bernard asked, "Do you want to make a tree pillow for your Komala?"

Although he wasn't present for the entire battle yesterday, he had heard about it from Miss.

Anjay nodded and said, "That's right, without a tree pillow, Komala doesn't sleep soundly."

Bernard thought for a moment, pointed in a direction, and said, "The trees grow most luxuriantly there. You might be able to find wood that Koala likes there."

Ange looked in the direction Bernard was pointing, and he could vaguely see a mountain range full of greenery.

He said gratefully to Bernard, "I understand. Thank you, Grandpa Bernard."

Bernard instructed, "It's sparsely populated there. Be careful when you go."

Ange nodded and said, "I will."

After saying goodbye to Bernard, Ange hugged Koala and set off on Salamence.

The Pokémon he brought with him were Aegislash and the Latios and Latias siblings.

Aegislash had to protect Ange closely, and Latios and Latias were not suitable to appear in public, so Ange could only bring them.

The mountain range that Bernard pointed to was not close to the manor, but Salamence's speed was fast enough, so half an hour later, Ange successfully arrived inside the mountain range.

Getting off Salamence, Ange held Koala in his arms, his eyes constantly scanning the surrounding trees, searching for a target that might be suitable for Koala.

Aegislash floated beside Ange, while Salamence re-entered the sky, following Ange from the air.

Ange didn't know what kind of wood was suitable for Koala, so he could only judge by appearance.

After walking for a while, he suddenly noticed a tree branch with a symmetrical shape, so he pointed to it and said to Aegislash:

"Aegislash, cut it down!"

"Jiru~" Aegislash responded, immediately drew its sword, and after a flash of cold light, the branch snapped.

During the process of the branch falling, Aegislash waved its sword again, and with a few swishes, the branch was cut into a regular cylinder.

Finally, Aegislash stretched out its ribbon to catch the wood and presented it to Ange like a treasure.

Ange took the wood and asked Koala, "Koala, take a look, how about this one?"

Koala took the wood, put it in its arms, and rubbed it, then suddenly threw the wood out.

The wood hit a rock and shattered into sawdust with a snap.

Without a log, Koala's emotions became more and more irritable.

Ange sighed and said, "You don't like it, huh? Okay, then let's keep looking."

So he took Aegislash and continued to walk towards the depths of the mountain range.

The further he went, the taller the trees became, and the more varieties there were.

It's just that Ange didn't study trees, and most of them couldn't recognize what kind they were.

Ange looked for one piece of wood after another, each of which looked beautiful and strong to him, but Koala was always dissatisfied.

Ange knew that feeling was the most important thing in this kind of thing, so he didn't feel impatient, but wandered around the mountain again and again.

Along the way, he encountered many Pokémon living in the mountains.

The Pokémon here are different from the Pokémon in the Gein Forest. They don't actively attack humans, and they will immediately avoid Ange when they see him.

Soon Ange found another piece of wood that looked good, so he pointed to it and said to Aegislash, "Aegislash, that one!"

Aegislash understood, and after a series of swishes, a symmetrical piece of wood fell into Ange's hands.

"How about this one?" Ange asked Koala, and as he spoke, he tapped the wood twice, and the wood made a bang bang sound, "It looks very strong."

Koala reached out and gently rubbed the wood twice, then threw it out without hesitation.

The wood fell into the grass, followed by a scream.

Ange: ?

The next second, a Spearow with a big bump on its head jumped out of the grass, its face full of anger.

Ange smiled awkwardly and said, "That... I'm sorry! We didn't mean to!"

Spearow is not a Pokémon with a good temper. Ange's apology is not enough to quell its anger.

"Gah~~" It chirped, rushed to Ange like an arrow, and pecked Ange's head fiercely.

"Ouch, ouch, ouch~~" Ange hurriedly covered his head and scurried away. Because it was his own fault, Ange did not attack Spearow.

But Ange's lack of anger did not mean that Aegislash was not angry. It was Ange's guardian, how could it tolerate Ange being attacked by a small Spearow?

Aegislash drew its sword, and a dark light flashed on the sword, it was Shadow Sneak.

Ange was about to stop it when he saw this, but Aegislash had already slashed down with its sword.

With a scream, Spearow flew out.

Fortunately, Aegislash knew the limits and didn't use force, so Spearow only suffered a slight skin injury.

But Ange was thinking in his heart at this time: It's over!

Spearow are gregarious Pokémon, and they are very vindictive. If you hit it, it will definitely retaliate.

If it can't beat you by itself, then it will definitely call its companions.

Sure enough, the next second, the Spearow let out a sharp cry, and then one Spearow after another flew out of the canopy and grass, and even several Fearow were mixed in.

"Chirp, chirp, chirp~~"

"Gah, gah, gah~~"

In an instant, the forest became extremely noisy, and Ange could hardly count how many Fearow and Spearow had flown out.

He didn't hesitate at all, and shouted, "Run!"

After speaking, he ran away into the distance, and Aegislash and Salamence in the air quickly followed.

However, a person's two legs cannot outrun those flying in the sky, so he was soon overtaken by the Spearow flock.

The Spearow and Fearow launched Peck and Fury Attack. If he was hit, Ange suspected that he would be pierced into a honeycomb by the sharp beaks of the Spearow and Fearow.

"Aegislash, King's Shield!" he shouted.

"Jiru~~" Aegislash suddenly braked, made a rapid turn in the air, and activated the exclusive skill King's Shield.

With a flash of light, a huge transparent barrier suddenly appeared out of thin air, and the Spearow and Fearow rushing in had no time to brake and crashed into the barrier.

For a time, the birds fell down like dumplings.

This collision made them dizzy.

Ange quickly said, "Let's go!"

Aegislash quickly flew to Ange's side, Ange jumped on it, stepped on it and flew into the air, and flew all the way to the depths of the mountain range with Salamence.

It's not that Ange can't beat the Spearow flock, but he doesn't think it's necessary to waste time arguing with them, and besides, they were wrong first.

The barrier created by Aegislash quickly disappeared, and the Spearow and Fearow chased after the direction where Ange and his party disappeared.

I don't know how long they flew, Ange finally lost sight of the Spearow and Fearow, he drove Aegislash to land slowly, but found that he could no longer judge where he was.
