Gourmet master of the Pokemon world

Chapter 291: Can I Stay? I Want to Stay!

Magearna happily greeted An Jie at the door, "Du~ ki~ du~", Come in quickly, I've prepared desserts for everyone.

"Gang~"

"Babu~"

Munchlax and Burmy cheered in unison upon hearing this, then rushed into the house hand-in-hand.

An Jie shook his head with a helpless smile, "These two gluttons…"

Everyone laughed along, then entered the door together.

Girafarig, Wobbuffet, Gothita, and Riolu, seeing everyone enter, brought out the desserts made by Magearna, including cakes, donuts, tiramisu, osmanthus cakes, flower cakes, and more, a dazzling array.

Magearna said with a smile, "Everyone must be tired from working, eat more."

The Pokémon cheered and immediately began to feast, Burmy secretly stuffing things into its system backpack while eating.

Everyone noticed its little actions, but it was still smugly pleased with itself for escaping everyone's notice, which amused everyone immensely.

Magearna brought a piece of cake to An Jie and said, "Quick, try it and see if my skills have improved."

"Let me try it!"

An Jie took the cake, scooped a piece with a spoon, and put it in his mouth. The soft cake base mixed with sweet cream and refreshing berries mixed in the cream was simply delicious!

"Magearna, your improvement is too great!" An Jie said in surprise.

Magearna said shyly, "It's not entirely my credit, the improved quality of the cream made by the Alcremie is a very important reason."

An Jie asked in surprise, "Is it also because of Xerneas?"

Magearna nodded, "Yes, it should be due to the influence of the fairy aura. The cream made by the Alcremie has improved a lot compared to when they first arrived. Recently, the business in the dessert shop has been much better than before!"

An Jie said in surprise, "It seems that this family can no longer do without Xerneas."

Magearna covered her mouth and laughed, "Who says it isn't!"

Xerneas, who was enjoying the delicious dessert, vaguely heard An Jie calling its name, so it looked over in confusion. An Jie smiled and said:

"Xerneas, eat more!"

Xerneas nodded and continued to enjoy the food.

Although Magearna made a lot of desserts, they were quickly eaten clean by everyone.

Burmy raised its hand reluctantly and shouted at Magearna, "Babu~ Babu~", More, more!

Diancie punched it on the head upon hearing this, collapsing the tuft of hair on its head, "Still eating! Don't you know what moderation is!"

Burmy covered its head with a aggrieved expression, pouting and muttering in a low voice, "I didn't eat that much…"

The Inteleon next to it stared at its fat belly, thinking: It didn't eat that much, but it hid more than anyone else, I don't know if you are a Burmy or a Greedent.

After eating the desserts, everyone sat together to chat.

Diancie and the others told An Jie about the interesting things that had happened in the Nibel Plateau recently, while An Jie told everyone about his experiences outside during this period.

Cheerful laughter and relaxed conversation echoed in the house, and a faint warmth lingered in everyone's hearts.

That's great! All the Pokémon couldn't help but think, it's great to meet An Jie! It's great to be a member of the Nibel Plateau!

Even Whimsicott temporarily forgot her hatred under the influence of this atmosphere.

Time passed unknowingly, and soon it was evening, and the Pokémon who had been working outside returned one after another.

"Kirlia~ Kirlia~"

Talonflame, Spritzee, and Swablu rushed into the house first, excitedly circling around An Jie, their cheerful wings almost flapping out afterimages.

"Hahaha~ I miss you too!"

An Jie laughed and stretched out his arms. Eventually, Talonflame landed on his arm, Spritzee landed on his shoulder, and Swablu landed on his head.

"Horuby~" "Pachiru~" "Miroo~" "Yo yo~" "Chino~" "Shishi~" "Ya cha~" "Meow~"

Then, Diggersby, Pachirisu, Buneary, Cinccino, Litleo, Pancham, and Delcatty, these little guys swarmed into the house and pounced on An Jie at the same time.

However, before they could touch An Jie, they were controlled by an invisible force and floated in mid-air, followed by the voice of Chandelure.

"Syattie la~ Syattie la~", Do you want to crush An Jie to death?

It turned out that Chandelure used Psychic to control them.

"Ya cha~" "Chino~" "Pachiru~"…

The little guys immediately retorted to Chandelure, they just missed An Jie too much.

However, Chandelure just widened its eyes slightly, and the little guys immediately shrank their necks and dared not say anything.

Chandelure's majesty as the head of the family is still sufficient.

Seeing this, An Jie smiled and said, "Okay, Chandelure, I'm not that fragile, quickly put everyone down! But Chandelure is really getting more and more stable, as expected of you!"

"Syattie la~" Getting An Jie's praise, Chandelure was slightly embarrassed and gently put the little guys on the ground.

The little guys immediately rushed to An Jie's side, chattering to An Jie, and not forgetting to touch and rub against An Jie.

An Jie, An Jie, I miss you so much!

Whimsicott looked at An Jie in a daze. Diancie next to her saw her in a daze, so she asked softly, "What's wrong?"

Whimsicott said, "Why does everyone like An Jie so much? He's just a human."

Diancie chuckled, "You'll know when you spend more time with him, or… actually, you already have the answer in your heart."

Hearing this, Whimsicott was stunned in place for a moment.

After playing with the Pokémon for a while, An Jie said with a smile, "You must all be hungry, I'll go make dinner for you."

Hearing this, they cheered again, great, they can eat the food made by An Jie again!

Pancham and the others jumped and jumped happily in the house, while Bastiodon and the others, who were too big to enter the house, shouted outside.

How lively! Whimsicott couldn't help thinking.

Amidst the cheers of the big guys, An Jie took Aegislash and several apprentices into the kitchen.

Metagross returned home amidst everyone's lively conversation. It had been in the underground laboratory (the place where Latios and Latias were petrified) before. It was a closed environment, so it didn't know that An Jie had returned.

Just as it arrived at the doorstep, it saw everyone jumping and hopping around. Thinking something had happened, it inquired and learned that An Jieren had returned.

Without a word, it rushed into the house and then went to the kitchen.

At this moment, the kitchen was filled with smoke, and a rich aroma permeated the air.

"Meta~" Metagross called out to An Jieren.

An Jieren turned his head, saw it, and waved the spatula in his hand with a smile, saying, "Yo, our great scientist has finally come out!"

"Meta~" Metagross immediately felt guilty and laughed awkwardly. It knew that An Jieren must have learned from Diancie that it had been holed up in the laboratory for days again.

Although Metagross had promised An Jieren that it wouldn't do this again, it reverted to its old ways as soon as An Jieren left.

Seeing Metagross's guilty expression, An Jieren said with a straight face, "You get ready first, we'll eat in a while, and after dinner, we'll settle the score properly!"

"Meta~" Metagross dejectedly floated out of the kitchen.

Munchlax and Inteleon, seeing Metagross in this state, exchanged glances and then laughed unkindly.

As expected, An Jieren was the only one who could control Metagross. Heaven knows how many times they had been sent by Diancie to call Metagross out of the laboratory these days, only to be turned away.

Soon, dinner was ready, and large basins of delicious dishes were brought out: steamed perch, twice-cooked pork, five-spice crispy chicken, sweet and sour pork ribs, spicy crab, boiled prawns, crispy fried pork, fragrant mushrooms with oyster sauce, spicy and sour hand-shredded cabbage, pan-fried tofu, dry-fried green beans…

It had been a long time since he had cooked for everyone, so An Jieren made an exceptionally lavish meal tonight. Whether you liked meat or vegetables, you could be greatly satisfied.

Various aromas intertwined in the air, and everyone ate with greasy mouths, chatting and laughing, making it extremely lively.

Halfway through the meal, the mischievous Murkrows even jumped into the middle to perform a show for everyone, a tap dance, their hopping and jumping appearance, comical and cute.

However, rather than saying they were performing for everyone, it was more like they were performing specifically for Yveltal.

When they noticed a hint of a smile flashing in Yveltal's eyes, they were overjoyed, and even ate a bowl more of rice than usual.

After dinner, everyone didn't rush home, but gathered in the square to chat and enjoy the moon.

Today, the heavens were exceptionally kind. Although the moon wasn't so round, the stars in the sky were exceptionally bright.

Everyone enjoyed the night view together, chatting and laughing. Although the sky was dark, their hearts were exceptionally bright.

Solrock quietly floated in the air, releasing the solar energy it had absorbed during the day, dispelling the deep darkness.

Lunatone floated opposite it, drawing moonlight and projecting it onto the earth, also bringing light to everyone.

The four Maushold sat together, surrounding Pawmi. They looked at the Pokémon chatting and laughing with An Jieren, and couldn't help but feel envious.

They also wanted to be one of them.

"Squeak squeak squeak~" Is it okay for us to stay here all the time?

One of the Maushold couldn't help but ask.

Their original agreement with An Jieren was to temporarily come back with An Jieren, and they could leave at any time when they wanted to travel.

But at this moment, they all felt that having a stable home was also good.

Although they hadn't spent much time with An Jieren, they had already deeply fallen in love with this man.

After experiencing life in the Nibel Highlands, they were even more determined to stay.

"Squeak squeak squeak~" We think so too.

The other three Maushold echoed.

"Woof woof woof~" Me too!

Pawmi couldn't wait to say.

"Then it's settled!" The head of the Maushold decided.

Umbreon, Alolan Meowth, and Houndour had the same mental journey as Maushold and Pawmi.

Houndour rubbed against Umbreon and asked, "What are we going to do in the future? Leave here?" Its tone revealed a strong sense of reluctance.

They were only temporarily staying here because Umbreon was recovering from his injuries, and they weren't real residents here. Now that Umbreon's injuries had healed, they had no reason to continue staying here.

Alolan Meowth hugged Houndour's neck and said, "I don't want to leave either."

Umbreon asked, "Do you both like it here?"

"Yeah yeah~~" Alolan Meowth and Houndour nodded vigorously, "We like it very much, we like it here, and we also like everyone and An Jieren."

"I like it here too," Umbreon said softly, and as he spoke, he looked up at the moon in the sky, "But we don't know how to do anything, what reason do we have to stay here?"

Everyone in the Nibel Highlands had their own responsibilities, and every Pokémon had their own job.

Hearing this, Houndour and Alolan Meowth lowered their heads with dim eyes.

"Wuwuwu~~" After a while, Houndour actually started crying, "I don't want to leave…"

"I don't want to either," Alolan Meowth's eyes sparkled with tears.

Seeing the two children so sad, Umbreon couldn't help but feel distressed. After thinking for a long time, he took a deep breath and said, "I'll ask An Jieren to let us stay, but it's hard to say what the result will be."

Houndour and Alolan Meowth looked at Umbreon in surprise and joy.

"As long as we can stay, I will definitely work hard in the future and definitely be able to help An Jieren and help everyone!" Houndour said with firm eyes.

"Me too, me too!" Alolan Meowth echoed.

"Okay!" Saying that, Umbreon got up and walked towards An Jieren.

"Blacky~"

An Jieren was talking to Diancie when he suddenly heard Umbreon's call. He asked in confusion, "Umbreon, what's the matter?"

Umbreon looked hesitant, not knowing how to speak. They had been eating and drinking for free at An Jieren's house for a long time, and now they wanted to shamelessly stay, it was really…

Seeing Umbreon hesitating, An Jieren smiled and said, "Just say what you want, don't worry about anything."

Umbreon took a deep breath and finally mustered up the courage to say it.

"Blacky~ Blacky~" An Jieren, can Me, Houndour, and Meowth continue to stay in the Nibel Highlands?

An Jieren was stunned when he heard this, and then smiled and said, "So that's the matter, of course there's no problem!"

An Jieren liked Pokémon very much, and he wasn't short of money. He could afford to support everyone, so of course he welcomed Pokémon to live in the Nibel Highlands.

Moreover, everyone on the plateau didn't eat and drink for free, they all helped with work, so why wouldn't he agree?

Umbreon didn't expect An Jieren to agree so easily, and a warm feeling welled up in his heart.

"Blacky~" An Jieren, thank you! Thank you…

An Jieren smiled and said to Umbreon, "Umbreon, welcome you to join the Nibel Highlands family!"
