Gourmet master of the Pokemon world

Chapter 288: I'm Back! Welcome Home!

Saying this, Anjie took out two boxes and placed them on the table, opening them and saying to Gardevoir and Cynthia:

"Thank you both for taking care of me these past few days. This is some homemade fruit wine, nothing too valuable. I'll shamelessly use them as a thank-you gift, I hope you like them!"

Thinking of the beer they drank during the barbecue, Cynthia happily accepted her box, saying, "Anjie, you're too kind! I really like this gift!"

The two bottles of fruit wine Cynthia received were Starf Berry Wine and Pecha Berry Wine.

Gardevoir pulled her box closer, her eyes immediately drawn to the two bottles lying inside.

The two bottles she received were Granate Berry Wine and Mago Berry Wine.

The Granate Berry Wine was bright red and translucent. When light shone on it, it refracted a mesmerizing halo in the box; the Mago Berry Wine was dark purple, almost black, deep and mysterious, as if it could draw people's eyes into it.

Just looking at it, Gardevoir couldn't help but feel fond of it, but the prideful her wouldn't say what she was thinking.

"Hmph, I guess you know some manners."

After giving the gifts, Anjie recalled Latias and Latios into their Poké Balls and said to them, "It's getting late, I should get going!"

Gardevoir looked at the Poké Balls in Anjie's hand with reluctance, while instructing Bernard, "Butler, see him off!"

"Yes, Miss," Bernard said with a smile.

Subsequently, led by Butler Bernard, Anjie and Miss Petilil, Flabébé, and Floette walked to the gate of the manor. He released Salamence, helped Miss Petilil and the others climb onto Salamence's back, and then said to Bernard:

"Goodbye, Grandpa Bernard!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Salamence flapped its wings and slowly flew up.

Bernard waved his hand and said, "Goodbye, come back and play sometime."

"Okay, I definitely will when I have time!"

Under Bernard's watchful eye, Salamence's figure became further and further away, until it completely disappeared into the horizon.

Anjie flew all the way to Ventos Town, and then took a train from Ventos Town back to Azoth.

On the way, he took out his phone and pulled up the information Diantha had given him, searching for the name 'Xiao Chen' again and again.

But as time passed, he flipped through the information over and over again, but still couldn't find a participant named Xiao Chen.

Could it be that person didn't participate in the League Tournament? Or perhaps... Xiao Chen is actually a pseudonym?

Thinking this, Anjie finally stopped dwelling on the name Xiao Chen and instead began searching for contestants with Fuecoco, Crocalor, and Skeledirge in their teams.

However, there were quite a few people using these three Pokémon, especially in the Paldea region, where a large number of people use Fuecoco, Crocalor, and Skeledirge to participate in competitions every year.

There was no other way, Fuecoco was one of the Paldea region's starter Pokémon.

(Note: Whether the Paldea region has a League Tournament in the original work is unknown, let's just assume it does here.)

Anjie singled out all the trainers who owned Fuecoco, Crocalor, and Skeledirge, and then called up their photos one by one, intending to have Miss Petilil identify them.

After selecting them, Anjie waved to Miss Petilil, who was sitting opposite him, and said, "Miss Petilil, come over here."

"What's up?" Miss Petilil asked suspiciously.

"Come and see if Xiao Chen is in here." Anjie showed his phone to Miss Petilil.

Hearing this, Miss Petilil immediately sat next to Anjie and leaned her head closer to Anjie's phone, carefully identifying them.

"This one isn't..."

"This one isn't either..."

"Not..."

"Not..."

...

Each time she denied one, Anjie quickly swiped to the next photo.

After an unknown amount of time, Miss Petilil suddenly exclaimed at a photo, "Him! It's him! This is Xiao Chen!"

Although the person in the photo had changed quite a bit compared to the Xiao Chen in her memory, Miss Petilil still recognized him at a glance.

Anjie looked at the photo Miss Petilil was pointing at, and saw a young man of about 20 years old. He had a dazzling red short hair, his expression looked a bit unruly, and also a hint of ambition...

Anjie immediately pulled up his information, and saw it marked above:

Yuji, 20 years old, from Motostoke, Galar region, champion of the Galar ×××th League Tournament.

Then Anjie pulled up his other information, and quickly discovered that this person was originally from the Kalos region.

Yuji was originally an orphan. After the age of 10, he didn't know where he got the initial Pokémon Fuecoco, and then went to the Galar region to travel, and never returned to Kalos again.

In the following 3 years, the information Diantha gave didn't record Yuji's information. It wasn't until he was 13 years old that he participated in the first League Tournament.

At that time, his Fuecoco had already evolved into Skeledirge.

In addition, the other five Pokémon he used in the competition were Lokix (Bug/Dark), Corviknight (Flying/Steel), Falinks (Fighting), Grapploct (Fighting), and Thievul (Dark).

That year, he didn't even make it to the top 16 of the tournament.

Of course, this was not surprising. Every year, a large number of people participate in the League Tournament, and most of them don't make a splash.

The following year, Yuji did not participate in the League Tournament, but participated in the Unova region's League Tournament the year after.

This time, the Pokémon he used in the competition, in addition to Skeledirge and Corviknight, the other four were Copperajah (Steel), Bouffalant (Normal), Cryogonal (Ice), and Haxorus (Dragon).

That year, he successfully made it to the top 16 of the League.

In the year after that, he participated in the Sinnoh League Tournament. The team, in addition to the previous Skeledirge, Corviknight, and Haxorus, the other three were Empoleon (Water/Steel), Bronzong (Steel/Psychic), and Leafeon (Grass).

That year, he made it to the top 8 of the League Tournament.

In the following years, he fell silent again, until he was 20 years old, when he participated in the League Tournament again.

This was the last competition record of him in the information. He returned to the Galar region and participated in that year's League Tournament.

This time, the Pokémon he participated in the competition, in addition to Skeledirge, Corviknight, Haxorus, Empoleon, and Leafeon, the other two were Grimmsnarl (Dark/Fairy) and Dragapult (Dragon/Ghost).

That year, he directly won the championship of the League Tournament, defeating his opponent with a slight advantage.

It can be clearly seen that since hatching Fuecoco, Yuji has used its power to embark on the path of a trainer, and in the days that followed, he continued to optimize his Pokémon lineup, and finally even obtained the pseudo-legendary Dragapult.

It has to be said that he had a very clear plan for his future and a strong ability to execute it.

"Have you found out where he is?" Miss Florges asked anxiously.

Angie nodded and replied, "The information records that he is now living in Motostoke in the Galar region."

"Galar? Motostoke?" Miss Florges looked puzzled, as she was unfamiliar with these two words, but then she said, "Now that we've found him, let's go see him! I'm definitely not going to let him off!"

Angie said helplessly, "The Galar region is very far from the Kalos region. Come home with me first, and we'll discuss what to do next."

But Miss Florges had been waiting for decades and couldn't wait any longer. She said anxiously, "What are we waiting for? Let's go right now! I can't wait!"

Angie reassured her, "No matter how anxious you are, it's not worth rushing for this moment. We have to prepare!"

Under Angie's reassurance, Miss Florges finally calmed down.

"Alright, then I'll go home with you first, but after we get back, we have to set off as soon as possible!"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Angie responded repeatedly.

At about 1 p.m., the train arrived in Azoth Town smoothly.

As soon as he got off the train, Angie couldn't wait to rush home.

Angie came out of the space channel, feeling the unique temperature of the Nibel Plateau and the fresh air, and a warmth welled up in his heart.

Finally back!

Miss Florges looked at the furnishings in the house and asked curiously, "This is your home, Angie?"

Angie nodded proudly and said, "Yes, it's not bad, is it!"

Miss Florges didn't say anything, just continued to look at everything in the house.

Floette and Flabébé flew around the house, also curiously exploring the house.

Angie walked quickly to the balcony and saw from afar on the grass downstairs, Jolteon, Flareon, Vaporeon, and Umbreon playing.

Not far away, Alolan Meowth, Houndour, and Weavile were chasing each other on the grass.

Angie took out a Poké Ball and threw it out. In the next second, Latias, Latios, Komala, Aegislash, Gardevoir, and Gallade appeared outside one after another.

"Everyone, we're back!"

"Woof ~"

"Gar ~"

"Jiru ~"

......

Several Pokémon looked at the familiar environment and burst into enthusiastic cheers.

Latias and Latios flew directly out of the balcony. They couldn't wait to embrace the sky of the Nibel Plateau.

Gardevoir ran downstairs with Komala and Gallade. They also couldn't wait to reunite with their friends.

Aegislash followed Angie step by step. Angie smiled and said, "You go play too. Now that we're home, you don't have to follow me all the time. Go let your partners see your new form after evolution!"

"Jiru ~" Aegislash hesitated for a moment and nodded, then flew happily out of the balcony.

On the steps at the door downstairs, Munchlax was sitting on it, supporting his chin with both hands and looking up at the sky in a daze.

Master had been gone for some time, and he was listless every day, eagerly waiting for Master to return soon.

At this time, Diancie walked over and asked Munchlax jokingly, "What's wrong, are you thinking about your master again?"

Sitting here every day as a "master-awaiting" stone has become Munchlax's fixed activity.

Munchlax withdrew his gaze from the sky, honestly nodded to Diancie, and then asked:

"Mun ~ Mun ~" Don't you miss him?

Hearing this, Diancie sighed deeply, then walked to Munchlax's side and sat down next to him.

"Miss him, how could I not miss him..."

So the two Pokémon just stared blankly at the sky.

Just then, two figures, one blue and one red, suddenly flashed through their vision.

Diancie said, "I'm hallucinating. I just seemed to see Latias and Latios."

Munchlax suddenly turned to look at Diancie.

"Mun ~" I saw it too.

Diancie was stunned, "Not a hallucination?"

Immediately, a huge surprise burst out on the faces of the two Pokémon. They stood up with a whoosh, then turned and ran towards the house.

As soon as they entered the house, they saw Angie leading Miss Florges, Floette, and Flabébé down from upstairs.

"Angie!"

"Mun ~" Master!

Diancie and Munchlax shouted in unison.

"Diancie, Munchlax!" A look of surprise also appeared on Angie's face.

"Mun ~~" Munchlax rushed into Angie's arms like a small cannonball, knocking him directly to the ground.

"Hahaha ~~" Angie laughed and hugged Munchlax.

"Mun ~ Mun ~" Master, Master, I miss you so much!

Munchlax kept rubbing his fluffy head against Angie's chest.

Angie rubbed the back of Munchlax's head and said, "I miss you too! I think about you every day, so much that I can't eat."

"Mun ~" Really?

Munchlax looked up at Angie and asked.

"Really! Really!" Angie nodded repeatedly, "Look, I've lost weight."

Munchlax took a look and really felt that his master had lost a lot of weight, so he touched Angie's body with a distressed look.

Angie pinched Munchlax's belly and asked, "Munchlax, have you gained weight again?"

((((Д;)))?? Munchlax was stunned, then panicked and pinched his belly.

No way? No way?

Angie deliberately said in a resentful tone, "So you said you missed me, but it was all fake, right? Did you eat well and sleep well every day, so you gained weight?"

Munchlax looked panicked when he heard this.

No! No! I really miss Master every day! Super, super miss!

At this time, Diancie chuckled, "Okay, don't tease him, I can prove that Munchlax misses you every day!"

"Mun ~ Mun ~" Munchlax nodded his head like a rattle drum when he heard this.

Diancie continued, "As long as he thinks of you every day, he will eat ten big bowls of rice like crazy, how can he not gain weight!"

"Hahaha ~~" Angie laughed even louder when he heard this.

"Mun ~ Mun ~" Master, you are bullying me!

Munchlax let go of Angie, grabbed his chubby, round belly, and looked aggrieved.

Angie hugged Munchlax's neck and rubbed his cheeks against his face, "My little baby, how can you be so cute!"

Hearing his master praise himself, Munchlax smiled shyly.

After being affectionate with Munchlax, Angie looked up at Diancie and said to her with a gentle smile:

"I'm back, Diancie."

Diancie also said to Angie in a gentle tone, "Welcome home, Angie."
