Gourmet master of the Pokemon world

After landing, the Fletchinder immediately flapped its wings, trying to fly up and continue its escape.

But Sylveon reacted even faster, directly binding it with its ribbons.

“Yama~ Yama~” Fletchinder struggled fiercely, but couldn't break free from Sylveon's restraints.

Sylveon controlled the Fletchinder and brought it before Anjay, who asked, “Are you also coming down from Mount Vella?”

Upon hearing this, Fletchinder looked surprised, its eyes wide, as if saying: How do you know?

At this moment, Salandit and Magby suddenly jumped out of the bushes, jointly pleading with Anjay to let Fletchinder go.

Seeing them, Fletchinder finally understood how Anjay knew about Mount Vella.

Anjay waved his hand at Sylveon, who understood and released the ribbons binding Fletchinder.

“Don't worry, I won't do anything to it.”

Hearing this, Salandit, Magby, and Fletchinder simultaneously breathed a sigh of relief.

Then Anjay asked again, “Do you want to eat together?”

The three Pokémon were slightly stunned, with a hint of disbelief on their faces.

“Not eating?” Anjay asked again.

“Yamo~”

“Poo~”

“Yama~”

The three Pokémon hurriedly shouted, indicating they wanted to eat.

“Then come over.” Anjay smiled and beckoned them to come to the picnic cloth, joining the group, and placed food and drinks in front of them.

Salandit and Magby had previously eaten the food given by Anjay, so their situation was alright.

But Fletchinder had only eaten a small piece of the donut it had just snatched, and its stomach was still growling with hunger, so it immediately began to gobble down the food.

Seeing this, Anjay advised, “No need to rush, no one is going to snatch it from you.”

“Poo~ Poo~” This is so delicious!

Magby held up a piece of cake, its mouth full, and said to Anjay in slurred words.

Anjay smiled and said, “If you like it, eat more, there's plenty more.”

Soon everyone was full, Salandit, Magby, and Fletchinder lay sprawled on the picnic cloth with round bellies, their faces full of satisfaction.

“Yamo~ Yamo~” So full!

Salandit gently rubbed its belly, it had never eaten so much before.

In the group, the Salandit had to first serve the Queen Salazzle, and only after the Salazzle was full did they have the right to eat.

And this Salandit was at the bottom of the group, so naturally it had even less status.

Compared to the Combee group, the Salandit group was clearly more hierarchical.

After resting for a while, Anjay asked the three Pokémon, “What are you planning to do next? You can't just keep wandering in the forest, right?”

The three Pokémon looked worried upon hearing this.

Yes, where should they go next? Back to Mount Vella? What if the battle between the guardian deity and Ninetales hasn't ended yet?

Magby and Fletchinder also thought it was a good idea, Anjay was so strong, with him taking them back to Mount Vella, maybe he could stop the guardian deity.

“But…” Anjay looked hesitant upon hearing this, “I have other things to do…”

At this moment, the Komala from the school rolled to Anjay's side and tugged at Anjay's clothes.

Seeing this, Anjay said in surprise, “Do you mean let me help Salandit and them first?”

Komala nodded slightly, this was the first time it had communicated with Anjay so normally.

Anjay thought for a moment and said, “Alright, I'll go with you to take a look.”

It was also a good opportunity to meet the guardian deity of the Alola region, after all, the chance to see the guardian deity wasn't common.

Seeing Anjay agree, the three Pokémon danced with joy.

“Since that's the case, let's set off.” Anjay said, looking at the towering Mount Vella in the distance.

Just like that, he set off with Genesect, Vulpix, Sylveon, Audino, Steenee, Salandit, Fletchinder, and Magby.

About half an hour later, they were very close to the foot of Mount Vella.

However, just as Anjay and the others were planning to continue forward, a series of panicked cries suddenly came from not far away.

“This… it sounds like the voice of a Fomantis.” Anjay said after listening carefully, he had seen Fomantis before, so naturally he remembered the voice of a Fomantis.

Genesect, Vulpix, and Sylveon had never seen Fomantis, so naturally they didn't know what the voice of a Fomantis was like, so they looked puzzled.

But Audino, who had seen many Pokémon, and Steenee, who originally lived in the forest, knew what the voice of a Fomantis was like, so they nodded in agreement with Anjay.

Anjay thought for a moment and said, “Let's go, let's go take a look, Fomantis seems to be in trouble.”

Several Pokémon nodded and followed behind Anjay, heading towards the source of the sound.

Passing through layers of dense trees, a huge open space appeared in front of Anjay and the others, and in the center of the open space grew a huge Pecha Berry tree, covered with abundant fruits.

Guarding the Pecha Berry tree were a group of Fomantis and a Lurantis.

Fomantis, the Sickle Grass Pokémon, single Grass-type, has a pink little face and body, with a green grass crown on its head, and its arms are shaped like green sickle-shaped leaves.

They are nocturnal Pokémon, generally basking in the sun during the day for photosynthesis, and only move around at night.

At this moment, all the Fomantis had been awakened, and looked like they were facing a formidable enemy.

The reason they were like this was because they were surrounded by a group of Salandit.

Leading the Salandit was a Salazzle, and this Salazzle was unusually large, obviously a Totem Pokémon.

Totem Pokémon are a special individual Pokémon in the Alola region, they have a larger physique than their counterparts, covered in a special aura, have more powerful strength, and will summon companions to help in the battle process.

Confronting the Totem Salazzle was a Totem Lurantis.

Lurantis, the Bloom Sickle Pokémon, single Grass-type, the evolved form of Fomantis, resembling an upright pink mantis wearing a kimono, has both plant characteristics and insect characteristics, but it does not have the Bug-type.

The Totem Lurantis was clearly the leader of the Fomantis.

“Sarara~~” At Salazzle's command, all the Salandit rushed towards the Fomantis, scaring the Fomantis one by one.

But how could Lurantis allow its kind to be harmed? It waved its double sickles, and countless green leaves shot out, each one accurately hitting a Salandit.

For a time, the Salandit wailed and flew backwards.

The Salazzle, seeing this, immediately launched a counterattack against the Lurantis. It opened its mouth and spat out a cloud of deep purple mist, which quickly spread across the field, putting the Lurantis and all the Fomantis into a poisoned state.

The Salazzle used the move Poison Gas.

Grass-type Pokémon have very low resistance to poison, and with the Salazzle's poison being Fire-type poison, the Fomantis were even more vulnerable.

Seeing the miserable state of its kin, the Lurantis was extremely angered. Countless pink petals appeared around it, transforming into sharp blades that shot towards the Salazzle and Salandit.

The Lurantis used the move Petal Blizzard.

The Lurantis was a higher level, so using Grass-type moves against the lower-level Salandit was naturally effective. The Salandit were indeed sent running with their heads in their hands, some even losing their ability to battle.

But against the Salazzle, which was around the same level, it was completely ineffective, dealing almost no damage.

As a Fire and Poison-type Pokémon, the Salazzle had a four-times resistance to Grass!

The Salazzle spat out a pillar of fire, sweeping across and engulfing the Lurantis and some of the Fomantis.

When the flames dissipated, the Lurantis was charred black, and the Fomantis had directly lost their ability to battle.

Angie and the others were hiding in the grass, observing the battle, but the Salandit looked very excited.

Angie instantly understood the reason and whispered, "Is that your group?"

"Yamo~" The Salandit nodded repeatedly, already eager to reunite with its group.

However, Angie grabbed it. "Let's wait and see."

Just then, the injured Lurantis began to call for its companions.

"Luran~ ~ ~"

As its voice spread, a Pokémon descended from the sky.

Angie was no stranger to this Pokémon—Castform.

"Luran~" The Lurantis looked up and called to the Castform. The Castform immediately understood, changing from its Normal Form to its Rainy Form.

Immediately afterward, a downpour of rain began to fall.

The cool rain relieved the pain of the Lurantis and Fomantis, while also causing trouble for the Salazzle and Salandit.

The Salandit were like ants on a hot pot, scrambling to find shelter from the rain.

Only one Salandit stood firmly beside the Salazzle.

This Salandit was the Salazzle's battle partner, just like the Castform was to the Lurantis. Its level was much higher than ordinary Salandit.

If it weren't male, it probably would have evolved already.

It swung its tail, activating the move Heat Wave. A rolling heatwave surged forward, evaporating the rain in front of it, creating a vacuum.

Then, the Lurantis and Castform only felt a black shadow flash before their eyes. The Salazzle crossed the vacuum with lightning speed, leaping onto the Pecha Berry tree.

Seeing this, the Lurantis and Castform's expressions changed drastically.

The Salazzle clung to the tree, giving its two opponents a contemptuous smile, then opened its mouth and swallowed a Pecha Berry.

The Lurantis and Castform launched attacks simultaneously, one using Petal Blizzard and the other using Water Gun.

However, the Salazzle was not worried at all. It opened its mouth, and a string of purple bubbles shot out, the resulting blast of air instantly dispersing the Petal Blizzard and Water Gun, and continuing with lightning speed to knock over the Lurantis and Castform.

The Salazzle used the move Belch, a Poison-type move with a power of 120, the prerequisite for activation being the consumption of a berry.

The Lurantis was already injured, so how could it withstand a powerful Poison-type move? It immediately lost its ability to battle.

The Castform also collapsed to the ground, exhausted. The rain in the sky slowly dissipated at this time.

Seeing this, the Salazzle cried out happily, beckoning the Salandit who had not yet fallen to pick Pecha Berries.

The reason they attacked the Lurantis group was to seize the Pecha Berries.

However, just as the Salandit were rushing towards the Pecha Berry tree, Genesect's figure appeared in the sky.

Immediately afterward, a figure jumped down from Genesect's back.

Bang ~ ~ ~ Accompanied by a loud noise, the figure crashed to the ground, the tree stump in its hand turning into a huge green wooden hammer that smashed into the ground.

Rumble! ! !

The rolling shockwave followed, sending all the Salandit flying.

The only one who could make such a high-profile entrance was naturally Angie's Komala.

The Salazzle, who was preparing to taste the delicious Pecha Berries, was stunned by this sudden change. It casually threw the Pecha Berry to the ground, its gaze towards Komala filled with danger.

Just as it was about to attack Komala, the Salandit who had been following Angie jumped out. It loudly told the Salazzle that Angie would take them back to Mount Wela, and they wouldn't have to steal other people's food anymore.

Fletchinder and Magby also ran out, helping the Salandit explain.

However, the Salazzle squinted at the Salandit, not paying attention to it at all.

After all, male Salandit have a very low status in the group, only being subordinates of the Salazzle. How could the Salazzle listen to its command?

The Salazzle suddenly emitted a faint pink mist, the mist drifting towards the Salandit, scaring the Salandit into retreating.

That was the Salazzle's pheromones. Once the Salandit smelled the pheromones, they would immediately obey the Salazzle's orders.

The Salazzle was very angry that a Salandit dared to resist it, and immediately jumped down from the tree to chase after the Salandit.

It was a Pokémon with a very strong desire for control, and it would never allow its vassals to escape its control.

However, just as it was about to act, Komala blocked its path.

The Salazzle couldn't sense Komala's strength, only thinking that Komala was overestimating itself.

Its huge body stood upright, looking down at the petite Komala, and opened its mouth to spit out a pillar of fire at it.

Seeing Komala engulfed in flames, the Salazzle revealed a contemptuous expression, turning to chase after the Salandit.

However, it had just turned around when it was smashed away by a hammer, the severe pain from its body causing it to wail incessantly. It rolled several times on the ground before barely stopping.

At this time, its gaze towards Komala became somewhat surprised and uncertain.

Komala hugged its tree stump and rolled forward a short distance, scaring the Salazzle into retreating.

At this time, Angie walked to Komala's side and said to the Salazzle, "Salazzle, can you listen to me properly now?"

The Salazzle hesitated for a moment, finally nodding slightly.
