Gourmet master of the Pokemon world

When Espurr woke up from its nap, it felt extremely quiet around it.

Where did everyone go?

"Miru~ Miru~" Espurr, big brother!

Suddenly, Bunnelby appeared at the doorway of Espurr's home, poking its head in and waving at Espurr.

"Meow-pah~~" Bunnelby, what's wrong? Are you hungry?

As Espurr spoke, it was about to take an energy cube from the jar for Bunnelby. It had received two jars today and hadn't finished giving them out.

"Miru~ Miru~"

Bunnelby waved its hand, then quickly ran into the grass hut, stuffing a steamed bun into Espurr's arms. Before Espurr could react, it had already disappeared.

Looking at the still-warm steamed bun in its hand, Espurr was stunned. Bunnelby ran so fast, it didn't even have time to ask anything.

Where did this steamed bun come from? It remembered that the food from Diancie's cafeteria wasn't allowed to be taken out casually without special circumstances.

Just as Bunnelby left, Espurr suddenly saw a large lump of something being thrown in from outside. Immediately after, an excited and mischievous voice came, gradually fading away. Espurr vaguely saw a figure flash past the door.

"Ya-cha~ Ya-cha~~" Slipped away! Slipped away!

If that voice wasn't from Pancham, who else could it be?

Espurr looked at the thing on the ground. It was a large lump of unknown objects wrapped in layers of leaves. It gently peeled off layer after layer of leaves, only to see 1, 2, 3... a total of 11 steamed buns inside.

Espurr was even more puzzled. It walked to the door and peered out for a while, but Pancham was nowhere to be seen.

It guessed that Pancham ran away quickly, probably afraid that it wouldn't accept the steamed buns.

But what's going on with everyone? Why are there suddenly so many steamed buns?

Just as it was about to turn around and go back inside, it saw Flabébé flying over from afar with something in tow, looking very strained. It quickly ran over to catch Flabébé.

"Hula~ Hula~" I'm so tired!

Flabébé wiped the sweat from its forehead and said.

Espurr looked at the thing it was carrying and asked疑惑地问道: "Meow-pah~ Meow-meow~ Meow-pah~~" What is that you're carrying?

Couldn't it be steamed buns too?

The thing Flabébé brought was also wrapped tightly in leaves.

Flabébé looked puzzled. Again? What again? It had only just arrived.

Flabébé quickly stuffed the thing into Espurr's arms and then planned to fly away, but Espurr, with its quick eyes and hands, grabbed the back of its neck.

"Meow~ Meow-pah~" You're not allowed to leave until you explain clearly.

With that, Espurr used its psychic powers to peel back the leaves, and sure enough, it saw a steamed bun wrapped inside.

"Hula~ Hula~~"

Flabébé struggled hard, but couldn't break free from Espurr's grip.

"Meow-pah~~" Quickly, tell me, where did the steamed buns come from?

"Meow-pah?" Know what?

"Hula~ Hula~ Hula~"

So Flabébé told Espurr about Anjer hiring Pokémon from the plateau to plant trees and providing them with food.

Espurr was stunned. There was such a thing? Why didn't it know?

It turned out that everyone thought Espurr was already an employee of Anjer and didn't have to worry about food and drink, so there was no need to come out and work hard planting trees, so they didn't specifically notify it.

And Anjer thought that Fennekin and the others would notify all the Pokémon, so he didn't specifically tell Espurr about this matter either.

The reason why the Sylveon couple, who were also Anjer's employees, knew was because they were neighbors and good friends with Fennekin, Braixen and Delphox.

"Meow-pah~~" There's such a thing...

After listening to Flabébé's account, Espurr was a little lost. It didn't expect that the thing that had been troubling it had been solved so easily by the boss.

Thinking of this, infinite admiration and gratitude for the boss welled up in its heart.

Similarly, guessing that everyone came to give it steamed buns was definitely to thank it, Espurr's heart was filled with endless emotion.

It patted Flabébé and said: "Meow-pah~ Meow-meow~ Meow-pah~~" You guys should keep them for yourselves in the future, I don't lack food.

As it spoke, it also taught Flabébé how to preserve food. As long as the steamed buns were torn into pieces and dried, made into steamed bun jerky, they could be preserved for a long time.

This was all new knowledge it had learned while working at the Munchlax House.

Just as Espurr and Flabébé were talking, Drilbur, Bunnelby, Pachirisu, Sawsbuck… all came one after another, all bringing the steamed buns they had saved today.

"Meow-pah…" You guys…

Looking at everyone, Espurr choked up a little for a moment. It wanted everyone to take the steamed buns back, but none of the Pokémon were willing to listen to it, stuffing the steamed buns into the house and running away.

Looking at the room full of steamed buns, Espurr felt its heart swelling. It sat on the haystack, tore the steamed buns into strips, and then strung them together with grass roots and hung them on the roof to dry.

Since everyone refused to take them back, it would help store them anyway.

As it did so, it suddenly laughed.

It's great, it's great that everyone doesn't have to go hungry! It's great to have the boss on Nibel Plateau.

In the evening, Anjer and his family of four chatted, watched dramas, and Anjer even taught Munchlax and Diancie how to play mobile games as usual after dinner.

For this reason, he specially bought a mobile phone for Munchlax and Diancie each, and the cards were sub-cards bound to Anjer's mobile phone card, so Munchlax and Diancie could contact Anjer through their mobile phones at any time in the future.

As for Komala… it only knew how to sleep, and usually didn't make a sound except for snoring, so Anjer didn't buy one for it.

Then they went to the training room to train.

Finally, everyone went back to their rooms to sleep.

The Nibel Plateau was very quiet at night, but at this time, two uninvited guests quietly came here.

"This is the Nibel Plateau?" Doca looked around. Both he and Yisha wore special devices on their eyes to ensure that they could see in the dark.

"I don't understand why this Highness Anjer wouldn't live in the palace and insisted on living in such a remote place. What's the point?" Yisha said in confusion.

"The climate here is indeed comfortable, and it's indeed more comfortable to stay here than outside," Doca said. "He probably wants to recuperate, after all, he wasn't in good health before."

Now that winter is approaching outside, the temperature has already begun to drop rapidly. If you don't wear more clothes when you go out, you will definitely be shivering from the cold, but you won't feel this way at all on the Nibel Plateau.

"Besides, isn't it more convenient for us to take action if he lives here? If he lived in the palace, we wouldn't have a chance to do anything," Doca continued.

"That's true, stupid nobleman," Yisha chuckled.

"Let's do it quickly, don't waste time," Doca urged.

Immediately, the two rushed towards Anjer's residence.

However, what they didn't know was that their every move had already been seen by a Pokémon in the sky that had merged into the night.

It was Corviknight!

"Awoo~"

A harsh and abrupt birdcall echoed in the night sky, but Doca and Yisha paid it no mind.

When Doca and Yisha appeared at An Jie's doorstep, Venusaur, Delphox, Greninja, and Chesnaught also appeared at the same time.

"Chespin ~ Chespin ~" Sure enough, someone wants to harm An Jie.

As he spoke, Chesnaught was about to step forward, but he was stopped by Venusaur.

"Venusaur ~ Venusaur ~ Venusa ~" Perhaps we don't need to take action.

Venusaur signaled Delphox and the others to continue watching.

Delphox and the others heard this and looked over, only to see that Bewear had already arrived in front of Doca and Yisha at some point.

It had its eyes tightly closed, hugging its tree stump and swaying, making it impossible to see any threat.

"Isn't that the Bewear in Lord An Jie's shop who's in charge of collecting money?" Doca looked surprised.

Yisha said impatiently, "Don't waste time, why bother with such a small fry! Let's just get rid of it quickly!"

As she spoke, she commanded her Houndoom, "Houndoom, Flamethrower!"

"Woof ~"

Houndoom jumped in front of Bewear, roared, and spat out a pillar of fire towards Bewear. However, to the surprise of the two, Bewear dodged the pillar of fire with extremely subtle movements.

"Impossible!"

Yisha was surprised and was about to command Houndoom to continue attacking, but she discovered that Bewear had already arrived next to Houndoom at some point.

"Careful!" Doca's expression suddenly changed. Just as he opened his mouth to warn, he saw Houndoom already being thrown away, followed by the sound of it landing and whimpering.

Bewear simply stretched out one hand, gently pinched Houndoom's tail, and then Houndoom was thrown out heavily.

Bewear used the Normal-type move Slam! With just one strike, Houndoom lost its ability to fight.

Only then did Doca say, "Be careful, this Bewear is not simple! Everyone, attack together."

Following his instructions, rays of red light flashed, and Pinsir, Swampert, Glalie, Banette, Sableye, and Manectric appeared one after another, and simultaneously attacked Bewear.

At this time, Bewear had already curled up its body, hugging its tree stump. It used the move Defense Curl.

The next second, its body quickly rolled up and charged towards Swampert, who was punching at it. This time, it used the move Rollout.

Bang!!

In just one exchange, Swampert flew out. Bewear bounced high and slammed heavily into Pinsir, who let out a wail as his lower body was directly smashed into the ground.

Sableye and Banette pounced at the same time, but Bewear had already bounced high again. They pounced on Pinsir's body, and Pinsir, who was already unconscious, rolled his eyes and foamed at the mouth.

Glalie angrily spat out a beam of Ice Beam, trying to hit Bewear in the air, but Bewear's body turned into an arc in the air, easily avoiding Glalie's attack.

After landing, the incredibly strong Bewear smashed a deep pit into the ground, but it continued to roll quickly. As it moved through the pit, the soil on the ground was plowed up, forming grooves.

Glalie continued to fire Ice Beam, but still couldn't hit the high-speed rolling Bewear.

Bang ~

With a muffled sound, Bewear bounced up from the ground and slammed heavily into Glalie's face. Glalie wailed and fell to the ground, unconscious.

Bewear turned around, aiming at Sableye and Banette. The two Pokémon subconsciously retreated, trembling all over.

Too terrifying! This was not an opponent they could handle!

Yisha and Doca were also trembling all over. At this moment, their hearts had already begun to roar.

What on earth was going on? No one told them that the Bewear who collected money in Lord An Jie's shop was so terrifying!

"Go... Let's go! This one's tough!"

Doca said to Yisha in a low voice, with the intention of retreating.

Yisha nodded and waved her hand, signaling Sableye and Banette to take them away.

However, just as the two Pokémon made a move, Bewear flashed and appeared between them. It raised its tree stump high, with a faint green glow flashing on the tree stump.

Bang ~

Bang ~

Accompanied by two muffled sounds, Sableye and Banette were knocked away by Bewear's mallet, falling to the ground unconscious.

Doca and Yisha, who were fleeing, were stopped by Venusaur, Delphox, Greninja, and Chesnaught, who had been watching in secret.

Whoosh, whoosh ~

As two vines appeared, Doca and Yisha were tied up tightly, their bodies uncontrollably falling to the ground.

At the moment of being captured, only one thought remained in the minds of the two.

It's over! It's completely over!

At this time, Delphox and the others also looked at Bewear differently. Who would have thought that the least noticeable Bewear in An Jie's house would be so strong?

It was definitely stronger than any of them!

Seeing Delphox and the others appear, Bewear patted the grass clippings off its body, rolled back to its small house, covered itself with its beloved small blanket, and soon a slight snoring sound came out.

Venusaur, Delphox, Greninja, and Chesnaught looked at each other, and finally had to resign themselves to cleaning up the battlefield.

They used vines to tie up Doca and Yisha and their Pokémon, and then dumped them all at the foot of the steps in front of An Jie's house.

After doing all this, Venusaur, Delphox, and Greninja went back to rest, leaving only Chesnaught to guard the prisoners.

In the early morning, as the first ray of sunlight shone on the earth, An Jie got up.

He still had to get up early to go to work today. After all, it was only the second day of the new store's opening, so he couldn't be lazy.

After washing up, An Jie walked out of the room. At this time, Diancie also came out yawning.

"An Jie, there's a new mission, do you want to accept it?" Diancie asked.

"There's a new mission again, let me see."

As he spoke, An Jie brought his head close to Diancie's side.

[Recruitment Mission] Recruit a new assistant chef. Accept?

Yes

No

Looking at the mission acceptance bar, An Jie was stunned. He didn't expect the system to be so in tune with him. He also happened to be planning to take on a new apprentice, otherwise the new store would be too busy!

However, Pokémon with culinary talent are not easy to find, so let's take it slowly.

After accepting the mission, An Jie said, "Let's go downstairs, Meowstic might already be here."

Meowstic always came early.

After going downstairs, An Jie seemed to hear some movement outside the door. He opened the door and was immediately stunned by the scene in front of him.

A pile of people and Pokémon were lying sprawled out at the foot of the steps, and Meowstic and Chesnaught were sitting on the steps chatting.
