Gourmet master of the Pokemon world

He hurriedly opened the system, and the system immediately popped up a notification.

“Congratulations, Master, for completing [Ingredient Cultivation Task 3]: Successfully growing Wangwang Valley.

Reward: Individual Value +1, Constitution +2, Intelligence +1, ‘Rice Cake Recipe’.

Seeing this notification, An Jie was stunned.

This task had been issued a long time ago, but it hadn't shown as completed. He had clearly already grown Wangwang Valley!

Because he couldn't figure it out, he had put the task aside. He didn't expect it to be completed today.

After a little thought, he immediately guessed the conditions for completing the task. It said to successfully grow Wangwang Valley, but it actually meant letting Wangwang Valley grow to maturity and harvest.

Understanding this, An Jie couldn't wait to go to the paddy field to take a look.

A few days ago, Goomy and the others had notified him that Wangwang Valley was about to mature. He didn't expect the time to come so quickly.

If he hadn't remembered this, An Jie wouldn't have guessed the conditions for completing the task.

He put the freshly collected Sweet Honey into the bamboo basket, and then handed it to Sylveon, "Sylveon, can you please take the honey home?"

“Fee ya~” Sylveon nodded, picked up the basket with its ribbons, and then hopped home.

I'll ask Magearna to use the honey to make something delicious! Sylveon thought happily.

After seeing Sylveon off, An Jie walked towards the paddy field with Vulpix.

On the way, he began to allocate the 1 point of Individual Value he had just obtained.

Without a doubt, he still added this 1 point to Aegislash.

Aegislash

[Type] Steel, Ghost

[Ability] Stance Change

[Gender] Female

[Level] 63

[Moves] Omitted

[Individual Values]

HP: 31

Attack: 31

Defense: 31

Special Attack: 31

Special Defense: 28

Speed: 31

Only 3 points left. Aegislash will be maxed out on Individual Values with just 3 more points.

Looking at Aegislash's stats, An Jie was in a very good mood. He'd be about there after two more tasks.

Then he looked at the newly acquired recipe.

This ‘Rice Cake’ is a kind of dessert, and the main ingredient used is rice flour ground from Wangwang Valley.

Moreover, it's a recipe for a large category of rice cakes, which are further subdivided into various flavors, such as Emerald Rice Cake, Coconut Rice Cake, Red Date Rice Cake, etc.

Its special effect is that long-term consumption can enhance the sensitivity of Flying-type Pokémon to wind power.

Seeing this effect, An Jie thought: Could it be that the system knows that he took in Little Lugia, so it specially rewarded him with this recipe?

How considerate!

In any case, the more recipes, the better, of course.

When Wangwang Valley is harvested later, he will make some for the Flying-type Pokémon at home to try.

Before long, An Jie and Vulpix arrived at the edge of the paddy field. They saw a golden field in front of them, and the mature rice swayed heavy ears of grain in the breeze.

Wangwang Valley was able to mature so quickly and grow so well on the Nibel Plateau, thanks to Goomy and the two Sliggoo's careful care, and Solrock's contribution was also indispensable.

Especially during the grain-filling period of the rice, their requirements for heat are particularly high. Without enough light and heat, the rice grains would not be able to plump up.

Now the rice grains are full and plump, all thanks to Solrock's hard work in collecting solar energy every day.

“Goomy! Sliggoo!” An Jie waved and shouted loudly.

“Vulpix~” Vulpix also learned from An Jie to call Goomy and Sliggoo.

“Goo~”

“Slig~”

Seeing An Jie, the three Pokémon immediately ran over.

When they arrived at An Jie's side, Goomy asked in confusion: "Goo~ Goo~" An Jie, why are you here?

An Jie glanced at the rice field and asked, "Do you think Wangwang Valley can be harvested?"

“Goo~ Goo~” I was just about to tell you, it looks like it’s ready.

Goomy said happily.

“Then how about we start tomorrow?” An Jie asked.

“Goo~”

“Slig~”

Goomy and Sliggoo nodded in agreement.

“Then let’s go home and prepare.” An Jie said to them.

He hasn't harvested rice before, so he has to prepare well, at least the harvesting tools must be prepared.

“Goo~”

“Slig~”

So Goomy and Sliggoo happily followed An Jie home.

The next day, not long after the sun rose, An Jie took the Pokémon to the paddy field to harvest the rice.

He didn't use any fancy things like harvesters, and besides, no one at home would drive them.

Of course, he couldn't actually ask the royal family to send someone over to help him harvest, but he felt it was unnecessary.

Anyway, he usually does nothing at home except farm work and cook, and doing more work himself makes him feel more fulfilled, more interesting, and more accomplished.

Besides, he felt very happy to be able to work with the Pokémon.

He picked up the sickle, took Goomy, Poliwrath, Azumarill and the others to the field, and then waved the sickle to start harvesting the rice.

In the days when Wangwang Valley turned yellow, Goomy and the others had already drained the water in the field in advance, so now there is no water in the field, only a little mud.

An Jie and the others were cutting in the field, and the Skiddo went down to the field, rolled up the cut rice with vines and put it on their backs, and then carried them all the way back to the grassland to dry.

A thick plastic film has been laid on the grass, and the rice is neatly placed on it, and in the sky, Solrock is releasing heat to accelerate the drying of the rice.

When the ears of rice are dry, the rice can be threshed from the ears.

Unconsciously, a morning passed. An Jie looked at the rice that had been harvested for most of the day and nodded with a sense of accomplishment.

Because this is the first round of planting, the quantity is not large, and there are many people working, so An Jie felt that it would be finished in less than a day.

At this moment, Diancie brought Snorlax and Passimian to deliver food to everyone.

“An Jie!” Diancie stood on the ridge of the field and waved vigorously to everyone.

“Passi~ Passi~” Passimian also greeted loudly.

Hearing the sound, An Jie straightened up, and at that moment, it was extremely refreshing.

I have to say, harvesting rice is really a physical job.

Holding his old waist, An Jie shouted to everyone who was working: "It's time to eat, let's eat first!"

Hearing this, everyone cheered and walked towards the ridge of the field.

After working all morning, the physical exertion was huge, and everyone was hungry!

Diancie and Passimian spread the tablecloths on the ridge of the field, and Snorlax took out the meals one by one and arranged them neatly on the tablecloths.

When An Jie and the others washed the mud off their hands and feet, the table was already filled with delicious food.

“Wow, it’s so rich!” An Jie exclaimed.

Snorlax said with a smile, "Snor~ Snor~ Master, you've worked hard, you should eat more good food."

Angie hugged Snorlax and said, "My eldest disciple still cares about me!"

"Snor~" Snorlax also hugged Angie tightly.

Diancie said speechlessly, "Alright, you master and disciple, stop being so clingy. Hurry up and eat. Aren't you hungry after working all morning?"

The other Pokémon had already started eating heartily.

"Okay, eat, eat." Angie sat next to Snorlax, picked up his chopsticks, and started eating.

As expected, food after labor is the most delicious. Angie ate and praised Snorlax, "Snorlax, your cooking is getting better and better!"

"Snor~" Snorlax scratched the back of his head embarrassedly, and then pushed Angie's favorite dishes in front of him, telling him to eat more.

After lunch, everyone rested on the ridge for a while. After digesting the food, they continued to work in the fields.

As expected, as Angie predicted, all the rice was harvested at around four o'clock in the afternoon, leaving only the harvested rice stubble in the paddy field.

Two days later, the rice was almost dry, and Angie began to lead the Pokémon to thresh the rice.

He called Treecko, Chespin, and Miltank, and asked them to use Rollout, rolling back and forth on the rice seedlings.

In this way, the rice grains fell off the seedlings one by one, and finally settled on the plastic film underneath.

When the rice grains have fallen off completely, just lift the rice seedlings to get plump rice grains.

After the rice grains are threshed, they must continue to be dried for a period of time.

However, Angie did not thresh all the rice in this way, but handed half of it to the Psychic-type Pokémon, and asked them to use their psychic powers to remove the rice grains from the ears.

Although this method is not as efficient as the first method, there is no other way.

This part of the rice is to be used as seeds. If the first method of threshing is used, it will damage the seeds, and they will not be able to germinate.

After the rice grains were threshed, Angie did not waste the rice seedlings, but sent them all to Professor Oak's laboratory to be used as fodder for Ash's Tauros.

The Tauros love Wangwang Valley's rice seedlings. After eating this, they refuse to eat other fodder.

Angie's family has higher-grade Viridian Grass, otherwise he would be reluctant to send such high-quality fodder to Ash's Tauros!

Although Mamoswine, Skiddo, and Miltank mainly eat the food made by Angie and Snorlax, they still need to eat fodder regularly, otherwise they will have an unbalanced diet.

A few days later, the threshed rice grains were also dried. Angie hurriedly began to cultivate seedlings, planning to plant a new round of Wangwang Valley rice.

However, just as he was about to cultivate the original paddy fields, he was surprised to find that new buds had sprouted from the rice stumps left in the field.

Angie was pleasantly surprised. Could this be the legendary ratooning rice?

Does this mean that he can harvest a second crop?

Thinking this way, Angie gave up the plan to cultivate the old paddy fields, and instead asked Goodra to re-irrigate the paddy fields, allowing the newly sprouted buds to continue to grow.

And he took the Pokémon to cultivate new paddy fields to plant new rice. Anyway, the waters near Nibel Lake are wide, and there is plenty of land for him to plant Wangwang Valley rice.

They worked hard for another half a month, and they finally planted a new round of Wangwang Valley rice, and the ratooning rice in the old paddy fields was also growing well.

One day, Angie went to inspect the orchard and came back. As soon as he arrived at the door, he saw Talonflame descending from the sky.

Seeing it, Angie looked surprised, "Talonflame, you're back?"

"Ya lo~" Talonflame nodded and took off the spatial backpack on its back and handed it to Angie.

Angie took the backpack and checked it. After that, he said to Talonflame with joy on his face: "Go and call everyone, I'll make you something delicious!"

"Ya lo~ Ya lo~" Remembering Angie's previous promise, Talonflame cried out excitedly, and then flapped its wings and flew into the sky.

After Talonflame left, Angie took the spatial backpack to Magearna's kitchen on the second floor.

In the kitchen, Magearna and Alcremie were already waiting.

Seeing Angie enter the door, Magearna quickly stepped forward and asked: "Du~ ki~ du~" Is everything ready?

Angie smiled and nodded, "Everything is ready, look!"

As he said that, he took out bags from the spatial backpack. It turned out that they were filled with husked rice and rice flour made from rice.

Previously, Angie sent the harvested rice to Wangcheng for processing. Today, Talonflame went to Wangcheng to help him retrieve the processed rice and rice flour.

As a reward, Angie promised to make rice cakes for it and the other Flying-type Pokémon.

At this time, under Talonflame's invitation, the Flying-type Pokémon had gradually gathered at the entrance of the cafeteria.

Leading the way was Yveltal and its followers (Honchkrow and Murkrow).

Then there was Talonflame, Staraptor, Fletchinder and their family of three, and Altaria and their family of three.

Next were the Vivillon.

Then there was Salamence and Tropius.

Finally, there was Little Lugia and two Cramorant.

Yveltal was still cold, surrounded by Honchkrow and Murkrow, cold and unapproachable.

Honchkrow and Murkrow held their chests high, trying to imitate the boss's cold temperament, and swaggered back and forth with steps that didn't recognize their relatives.

Unfortunately, they only imitated a poor imitation. No matter how they looked at it, they looked like followers, without the temperament of a big boss.

However, recently they often accepted challenges from trainers at the gym, and they performed very strongly, and even almost beat a newcomer who came to challenge without knowing the situation into autism.

Later, the newcomer heard from other trainers that this was an exclusive gym for senior trainers, and then he regained his spirits and left.

Talonflame's family of three and Altaria's family of three gathered together, discussing and imagining what delicious food Angie would make for them.

Salamence and Little Lugia lay side by side, seemingly discussing something.

Little Lugia nodded frequently, then looked approving, and finally looked at Salamence with admiration.

Tropius had nothing to do and said he wanted to see the Vivillon dance, and the two Cramorant joined in.

So the Vivillon began to dance in the air, with colorful wings and elegant dance moves, which were very beautiful.

At the same time, in the kitchen, Angie and Magearna had already started making rice cakes, and the Alcremie were assisting from the side.

In fact, they had practiced making rice cakes countless times in the training room before, and they were already proficient.
