Gourmet master of the Pokemon world

Late at night, after instructing Munchlax and Sobble to watch over the house, Ange, riding on Honchkrow, descended upon the ancient city walls of Azoth Town under the cover of darkness.

Standing firm on the city wall, Ange summoned Diancie.

"Such a massive thing, can it really be stored in the system backpack?" Ange asked with a hint of disbelief.

"Should be possible, right?" Diancie said uncertainly.

"Let's try it first," Ange said.

With that, Ange placed his hand on the city wall and softly chanted, "Store!"

Ange used the system backpack by relying on verbal commands, "Store" or "Retrieve," instead of relying on mental power or soul power like in other novels.

As his voice fell, the several-dozen-meter-high city wall suddenly disappeared, and Ange and Diancie, who were originally standing on the wall, uncontrollably fell downwards.

Fortunately, Honchkrow was quick-witted and swift-handed. The moment the city wall disappeared, it took to the air and swooped down, catching Ange and Diancie in time.

Regaining his composure, Ange hugged Honchkrow's neck and said, "It's really thanks to you being here, otherwise I would have definitely fallen to my death."

"Hoo ah ~"

Honchkrow cried out once, carrying Ange and Diancie as it disappeared into the night.

Back at their home in the Nibel Plateau, Ange and Diancie bid farewell to Honchkrow, and then Ange said, "How should we handle this Sky Fortress? Should we take it out directly, or keep it stored in the system backpack?"

At that moment, a pop-up window appeared in front of Diancie.

Spend 1,000,000 Happiness Points to fuse Diancie's Cafeteria with the Sky Fortress?

Yes

No

Ange was stunned. How many Happiness Points? 1, 2, 3... He didn't miscount, it was indeed 6 zeros, right? 1 million?

"Diancie, is the system teasing me, right?" Ange asked Diancie, he currently had less than 2 million Happiness Points in total!

"No," Diancie shook her head with a look of regret, "Actually, you can choose not to fuse it."

Ange thought for a moment, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Fuse! It's just 1 million, it's not like your grandpa can't afford it. If it's gone, I'll just earn it back."

The system definitely wouldn't ask him to fuse it for no reason.

"Generous!" Diancie said to Ange with a smile.

Coming out of Munchlax's room, Ange took a deep breath, "Munchlax is getting fatter and fatter!"

Hearing this, Diancie covered her mouth and laughed non-stop.

"Alright, let's go to sleep too," Ange said to Diancie.

"Okay, good night, Ange."

"Good night, Diancie."

The two returned to their respective rooms. Ange washed up and lay down on the bed, and then opened the system taskbar. It showed:

[Daily Task 1] Train in the Cooking Training Room for 1 hour — Completed, reward ready to be claimed.

[Daily Task 2] Host 10 Pokémon — Completed, reward ready to be claimed.

[Temporary Task] Obtain the Sky Fortress — Completed, reward ready to be claimed.

Ange, as usual, first claimed the rewards for the two daily tasks.

Congratulations, Master, for obtaining the reward: Nectar 4.

Nectar?

Ange took out the reward, and saw 4 small jars of different colors, namely vermilion, golden yellow, pink, and lavender. Each jar was only the size of a fist, and the shape was still in the style of a flower.

Could this be the Vermilion Nectar, Golden Nectar, Pink Nectar, and Lavender Nectar that can change Oricorio's form?

Ange opened one of the jars, and a sweet aroma immediately wafted over, extremely rich. His eyes lit up: Good stuff!

He smelled the fragrant aroma of the nectar, and subconsciously swallowed.

"Forget it, I won't eat it. I'll eat it with everyone tomorrow. Besides, it's not suitable to eat sweets at this time." With that, he placed the 4 small jars on the table beside the bed.

Then Ange claimed the second daily task reward.

Congratulations, Master, for obtaining the reward: Flower Seed 1 pack (Cutiefly and Ribombee collect pollen to brew Vermilion Nectar, Golden Nectar, Pink Nectar, and Lavender Nectar).

Seeing this reward, Ange's eyes lit up, but then he thought, it seems that there are no Cutiefly and Ribombee in his home and the Nibel Plateau!

Forget it, I'll plant them later as ornamental flowers. I don't know if these flowers are pretty or not.

Finally, there was only the reward for the [Temporary Task] left. Ange clicked on Claim with excitement.

A pop-up window immediately jumped out.

Congratulations, Master, for completing the [Temporary Task] and obtaining the Sky Fortress. Reward: Designate one Pokémon's Individual Value to reach its maximum value.

"Damn!"

Seeing this, Ange almost jumped up from the bed. Was the reward so generous? It was simply comparable to the achievement reward he received when he obtained the Nibel Plateau!

With trembling hands, Ange opened the Individual Values of Munchlax and Sobble. In the end, he decided to use this reward on Munchlax.

Firstly, it was most cost-effective to use it on him, because his Special Attack only had a pitiful 6 points. The lower the Individual Value, the more cost-effective it was to use.

Although Special Attack wasn't of much use on Munchlax, Ange was determined to max out all of Munchlax's Individual Values.

Admittedly, in the game, not all Pokémon's Individual Values are the higher the better. This depends on the situation.

For example, for Pokémon like Munchlax with a very slow Speed base stat, the Speed Individual Value doesn't need to be stacked, because even if it is stacked, it won't be fast, and it will easily suffer when trapped in Trick Room (in Trick Room, the slower the Speed of the Pokémon, the sooner it acts).

For example, for Pokémon like Gardevoir that rely on Special Attack, the Attack Individual Value is naturally as low as possible. Attack is not only useless to it, but also harmful. Once it falls into a confused state, if its Attack is high, it will hurt too much when it beats itself up, and it may even send itself away directly.

But the game is the game, and reality is reality.

According to Diancie, the system has given it a hint that if an ordinary Pokémon wants to have the opportunity to be as powerful as a Legendary Pokémon, the prerequisite is that all Individual Values are maxed out.

(Note: This is the author's personal setting, or it can be said to be a magical modification, because the author has obsessive-compulsive disorder, and the protagonist Pokémon's Individual Values are not all full, and the author feels uncomfortable all over.)

Ange suspected that his Carbink would mutate into Diancie, which was related to all Individual Values being full.

As Ange used the reward on Munchlax, its data changed, and the Special Attack Individual Value, which was originally only a single digit, instantly maxed out.

Munchlax

[Type] Normal

[Ability] Thick Fat

[Gender] Male

[Level] 34

【Skills】 Tackle, Lick, Defense Curl, Recycle, Covet, Bite, Charge, Swallow, Body Slam, Throw, Slam, Charm, Seed Bomb, Brick Break, Double Team.

【Individual Values】

HP: 29

Attack: 25

Defense: 20

Special Attack: 31

Special Defense: 10

Speed: 31

Now Snorlax has full individual values in Speed and Special Attack. Although they are not very important, it is a great improvement.

It's just that the Special Defense individual value is a bit unsightly.

During this time, Snorlax's level has also increased a lot. An Jue found that wearing the Exp. Share did work. The leveling speed of both Snorlax and Diancie has increased.

Turning off the system, An Jue went to sleep happily.

The next day, An Jue was sleeping soundly when Diancie's knock came from outside the door.

"An Jue, wake up! Wake up!"

"An Jue, something big happened!"

...

An Jue opened the door groggily, rubbing his sleepy eyes, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Without saying a word, Diancie pulled An Jue outside. An Jue wasn't even wearing shoes, and was dragged to the door by Diancie.

At this time, the sun had just emerged from the horizon, and the first ray of golden light shone on the Nibel Plateau, allowing An Jue to see the scene in front of him clearly, and also making his sleepiness disappear in an instant.

"This... This is..."

The green grass in front of An Jue's house had turned into a wide square, composed of huge stone slabs, with green moss growing in the gaps between the slabs. It was exactly the same as the old city walls of the original Azoth Kingdom!

Surrounding the square was a circle of walls that were waist-high to An Jue. Although the walls were not high, they were very thick. Even sleeping on them, you wouldn't be afraid of rolling down.

The walls were also covered with moss, and An Jue's small building was located in the center of the square.

Not to mention, this style actually had a different kind of beauty.

The flower garden where An Jue planted Gracidea flowers was still in front of the door, but it had been moved to the left. There was an identical flower garden symmetrical to it on the right, but it was empty.

An Jue didn't care that he was still barefoot, and ran directly out the door, all the way around to the back of the house.

Fortunately, the vegetable garden was still there, and the pond was still there.

However, at this time, the Barboach and Whiscash brothers in the pond, and the Diglett brothers in the vegetable garden, were curiously looking at the changes around them, not understanding how the surroundings had suddenly changed overnight.

An Jue's vegetable garden and pond were surrounded by mottled stone slabs.

An Jue comforted the four Pokémon and said, "It's okay, nothing happened. I just casually remodeled the house a little bit last night."

The Barboach, Whiscash, and two Diglett looked blank: You call this remodeling? Isn't this a miracle?

An Jue opened the system backpack and looked at it. As expected, the Sky Pillar inside was gone.

"An Jue, come here!"

Diancie's shout came from the right side of the square. An Jue ran over quickly, and when he got there, he found a huge round lid on the ground in front of Diancie. The color was the same as the stone slabs of the square, and it was also covered with moss.

The diameter of this lid was at least ten meters.

Next to the lid stood a statue. An Jue looked carefully and saw that it was actually a statue of himself and Diancie.

"An Jue, look!"

Diancie shook the hand of An Jue's statue, and the huge round lid split in the middle and slowly retracted to both sides, revealing an underground space with a long spiral staircase.

"Let's go down and take a look," An Jue said to Diancie.

Following the spiral staircase down, An Jue and Diancie quickly reached the first floor. Sensing their arrival, the heavy door on the first floor opened automatically.

"It's quite advanced," An Jue said with a smile.

Entering through the door, An Jue and Diancie saw a space flashing with colorful lights. The space was filled with many long sofas and tables. In front was a bar, and behind the bar stood rows of cabinets.

This is... a bar?

An Jue was stunned. Was the system asking him to open a bar on the Nibel Plateau? Wasn't this a joke? Who would run to the Nibel Plateau to drink!

There weren't many Pokémon who liked to drink!

An Jue wandered around the bar and found that the space here was very large, and the layout was very comfortable. The sofas could not only be used for resting, but also for lying down and sleeping on them at will.

It was just that the colorful lights were dazzling. An Jue directly found the switch and turned them off.

His eyes instantly felt better.

One person and one Pokémon also visited the back of the bar. There was a kitchen and a warehouse, with very complete equipment.

After visiting the bar, An Jue and Diancie went to the next floor. To An Jue and Diancie's surprise, there were rooms here, a bit like... a collective dormitory? The rooms were of different sizes, and there were actually hundreds of them.

This was like the employee dormitory of a black-hearted factory.

Moreover, the space above the dormitory was very open. Even large flying Pokémon such as Talonflame and Honchkrow could fly around without any impact.

The surrounding walls had ventilation and lighting facilities, which could ensure that even if it was underground, it would be bright enough and not damp.

After a tour, An Jue and Diancie discovered that there were actually facilities leading to the outside, which was a very large elevator.

They tried it and directly took the elevator back to the ground.

An Jue then realized that not far from the round lid, there were several stone houses built of white stone slabs. These were all entrances and exits of the elevator. An Jue and the others could take the elevator to any floor below, including the dormitory and the bar, without having to take the long spiral staircase.

The round lid that could be opened at will was essentially used to allow the entire underground space to be ventilated and have sunlight.

Then they visited the third floor, which was a huge warehouse with a lower temperature, which could be used to store a large amount of food, vegetables and other materials.

An Jue liked this warehouse very much. Although he had a system backpack, he couldn't put everything in his bag and carry it with him!

This warehouse came just in time!

Although this warehouse was not like An Jue's system backpack and the refrigerator in the kitchen, which could keep things fresh permanently, its preservation ability was already enough. The important thing was that it had a large storage capacity!

Then, An Jue and Diancie took the elevator to the fourth floor, and this was actually a huge brewery!

Now An Jue had a place to put the expensive brewing equipment he had obtained before.

Because An Jue didn't know how to brew wine, he and Diancie just visited it casually, and then they came to the fifth floor, which was the last floor of the underground space.
