Gourmet master of the Pokemon world

An Jie didn't mind that the Sobble had drunk from the soup bowl. He took it and sipped, his eyes widening instantly.

This fish soup… it's too delicious!

The rich broth was both fresh and fragrant, the fish tender and smooth, melting in his mouth. The two complemented each other perfectly, a true delicacy.

Blackfish have almost no bones, so An Jie didn't have to worry about choking.

The fish soup in the bowl was milky white, with snow-white fish soaking in it, and dotted with fresh green scallions on top. Just looking at it was appetizing.

"Sobble, you're amazing!" An Jie praised sincerely, giving Sobble a thumbs up.

o((*^▽^*))o Upon hearing this, Sobble jumped up and down excitedly on the pier. After jumping, it struck a cool pose and said:

"Mesa~ Mesa~" I'm so handsome!

Little Munchlax had been drooling for a long time, tugging at An Jie's clothes.

"Gon~ Gon~" Master, let me try too, please let me try.

An Jie quickly and lovingly handed him the bowl, which he eagerly held. Then, with a pious expression, he sniffed it, as if praying for incense.

"Gon~~" So fragrant.

A glimmer of saliva flashed at the corner of Little Munchlax's mouth. As soon as he finished speaking, he held the bowl and drank it all in one gulp.

Smack~ Smack~ Delicious!

After drinking, he looked at An Jie with longing, still wanting more. As if asking: Is there any more?

An Jie smiled and said, "You like fish?" An Jie had noticed Little Munchlax's fondness for fish when he made it before. Its teeth were good, and it didn't even spit out the bones.

"Gon~" I like it!

Little Munchlax nodded vigorously.

"Once our fish farm is built, we can raise many, many fish. Then you can eat as much as you want," An Jie said, pinching its chubby cheeks.

"You… you're such a little glutton." An Jie took the bowl from Little Munchlax and put it back on the stove. "Okay, let's get ready to move the food out. Everyone must be getting impatient."

Today, because of being busy with the fish farm, dinner was a little late.

As trays of steamed buns were carried out, the Pokémon finally welcomed their long-awaited dinner, along with bowls of hot fish soup.

Sure enough, everyone praised the delicious fish soup, which made Sobble extremely happy.

With his hands behind his back, he swayed to the side of Patrat and Watchog, and asked with feigned seriousness, "Mesa~ Mesa~" Is the fish soup good?

Patrat and Watchog nodded, not understanding why.

Seeing this, the serious expression on Sobble's face couldn't last even three seconds, and a triumphant look gradually bloomed. "Mesa~ Mesa~" Of course it's good, I made it.

Having spent a long time with Sobble, everyone had already figured out his habits. Patrat and Watchog quickly gave him a thumbs up.

Patrat: "Mini~ Mini~" Awesome!

Watchog: "Homi~ Homi~" That's right, that's right.

Having received the answer he wanted, Sobble walked away contentedly. He continued to walk up to Hippopotas and Hippowdon with a straight face, but he couldn't suppress the upturned corners of his mouth.

"Mesa~ Mesa~" Is the fish soup good?

He asked again, pretending to be casual.

Hippopotas and Hippowdon looked at each other, immediately understanding.

Hippopotas nodded, "Pupu~" Delicious, very delicious.

Hippowdon quickly echoed, "Capo~ Capo~" That's right, that's right.

Sobble immediately raised his little head upon hearing this, "Mesa~ Mesa~" You guys are quite discerning, I made the fish soup!

"Pupu~ Pupu~" Wow, so amazing! So amazing!

"Capo~ Capo~" Too amazing! Too amazing!

Hippopotas and Hippowdon immediately began to sing praises.

Sobble walked away contentedly once again.

An Jie and Diancie stood on the steps at the door, watching Sobble strutting through the Pokémon crowd with a smug look on his face. They looked at each other, then shook their heads helplessly at the same time.

This guy is too cocky.

Meanwhile, Little Munchlax was already sitting on the steps, with a steamed bun in his left hand and a bowl of fish soup in his right, eating heartily. His happy expression was just too cute.

After dinner, the Pokémon rested on the square, either lying down or sitting. Seeing this scene, An Jie thought that he must work hard to build Nibel Plateau, so that all the Pokémon on the plateau would have work and no longer have to worry about food.

Thinking this way, he suddenly felt full of energy.

Looking back to when he first came to Nibel Plateau, he was still thinking about living a leisurely retirement life. He didn't expect that now he would become busier and busier, opening a shop in the morning and working with the Pokémon to build Nibel Plateau in the afternoon.

The days were busy and fulfilling.

Whether in his previous life or when he first transmigrated as the prince of the Kingdom of Azoth, An Jie never thought that he would live such a life one day.

"The Rindo Berry and Nanab Berry seedlings have been planted. We will have new tasks starting tomorrow, so I will continue to ask for everyone's help!" An Jie said to the Pokémon.

"Hula~" No problem!

"Coco~" We guarantee to complete the task!

"Homi~" Let's go!

……

The Pokémon responded enthusiastically to An Jie.

After resting for a while, it was really late. The Pokémon went home one after another.

The next afternoon, An Jie led the Pokémon to the easternmost part of Lake Nibel, where Lake Nibel and the Nibel River meet. The banks are flat and fertile river beaches, with a large number of trees growing.

However, these trees are all ordinary trees that do not bear fruit and cannot be eaten.

This is also the only place on Nibel Plateau where a large number of trees grow.

Continuing south, you would leave the territory of Nibel Plateau.

Also, the magnificent waterfall is in this location.

Today, the Pokémon's task is to cut down all these trees. After the land is cleared, An Jie will plant new fruit trees.

"Everyone, let's start working," An Jie said to the Pokémon.

The Pokémon had been eager to get started for a long time. After hearing An Jie's instructions, they rushed into the forest, each choosing their own target.

"Lee~~"

Beautifly led its companions to fly through the forest, flapping its wings rapidly, using Air Cutter to create gusts of wind blades, cutting at the roots of the trees. If one cut didn't work, they would do it a few more times, and soon a large tree would collapse with a crash.

"Coco~ Coco~"

Aron was much more violent. After a running start, it used Iron Head to slam into the tree, instantly breaking the tree in half.

Although its body was small, its power was great.

Patrat and Watchog were weaker, so they lay on the roots of the trees, using their Anger Teeth to gnaw at the roots little by little.

"Ah~~"

Victreebel had great strength. It used its vines to bind the roots of the tree, easily uprooting a tree.

Bellsprout and Weepinbell didn't have that much strength; they needed to work together to uproot a tree.

"Sprout ~ Sprout sprout ~ ~ Sprout ~ Sprout sprout ~ ~"

Bellsprout rhythmically chanted slogans, and Weepinbell led them to exert force together according to the rhythm.

Chesnaught and Pangoro were also strongmen, and like Venusaur, they could easily uproot a tree with their vine whips.

Greninja's tree-cutting emphasized one word—cool!

It leaped swiftly through the forest and branches, shooting out Water Shurikens with each wave of its hand, accurately hitting the roots of each tree, causing them to fall one after another.

In comparison, Delphox, as a Psychic-type Pokémon, emphasized elegance and ease. It waved the wooden staff in its hand, using psychic power on the trees to uproot several at once.

Elegant, truly elegant.

"Hooray ~"

"Milu ~"

"Ho pu ~"

Such an elegant Delphox instantly attracted the admiring gazes of Flabébé, Buneary, and Bunnelby.

The three little ones clenched their fists, indicating that they wanted to be just as elegant and powerful.

Flabébé emitted a green light, shooting out sharp leaves to cut at the roots of the trees.

It was Razor Leaf.

However, although its Razor Leaf was swift, its power was too weak, and it ultimately failed to cut down the trees as elegantly as Delphox, succeeding only after quite a while.

"Milu ~ Milu ~"

Buneary used its outstanding jumping ability to leap into the air and kick the tree roots hard.

Crack ~ ~

The tree broke from the roots, terrifyingly powerful for the small Buneary.

Buneary, landing gracefully, struck a pose like a gymnast, enjoying the admiring gazes cast upon it.

Bunnelby won by surprise; it quickly loosened the soil around the roots of the trees, causing them to fall straight down on their own.

The trees cut down by the Pokémon were transported back to the plateau by large Flying-type Pokémon such as Talonflame, Staraptor, Altaria, and Honchkrow.

These were all excellent timbers that would definitely be useful in the future, so they couldn't be wasted.

The tree stumps left in the ground were dug out by Ground-type Pokémon such as Drilbur, Sandile, and Hippowdon and piled to the side.

These tree stumps were all very large, and Ange didn't know what they could be used for at the moment, so he could only put them aside for now.

Seeing the Pokémon working in an orderly and enthusiastic manner, Ange was relieved.

"Snorlax, we're going to the fishery. Do you want to come?" Ange shouted to Snorlax from afar.

"Gang ~ Gang ~ ~ Gang ~ ~ ~" Watch my invincible thunderous bear paw!

Snorlax was madly attacking a big tree, releasing its excess energy. Perhaps it had been watching too many dramas recently, it gave its skills many strange names. The 'thunderous bear paw' from just now was actually Brick Break.

Hearing Ange call it, it quickly turned around and waved at Ange.

"Gang ~ Gang ~" I'm not going, I want to cut down trees!

It shouted loudly.

Bear doesn't want to protect the forest, Bear wants to be a lumberjack.

Alright, if you don't want to go, then don't go!

Ange said to Sobble, "Let's go!"

Sobble, perched on Ange's shoulder, blinked at Ange and gave a thumbs up, "Mei Sao ~" No problem!

Diancie was also helping to cut down trees, conjuring long diamond blades to sweep out, instantly felling a swathe of trees.

Thinking that Diancie didn't like water, Ange didn't call it.

As for Komala... let's not mention it. It had long since run off, probably to meet its drinking buddy again.

Until now, Ange still didn't know what the mysterious drinking buddy of Komala looked like. It didn't seem to be a resident of the Nibel Plateau but some Pokémon from the eastern forest.

It was really hard on Komala to run so far every few days to meet its friend over drinks.

When Ange arrived at the fishery with Sobble, Politoed was already leading the Water-type Pokémon in their work. Today, all the Water-type Pokémon were at the fishery, not helping to cut down trees.

Seeing Ange arrive, they surfaced one after another to greet him.

Ange saw a net bag on the shore, filled with fish caught by the Water-type Pokémon, each one very large.

The fish swam back and forth in the net bag, some even trying to break through it to escape, but this net bag was bought by Ange from the system store and was very sturdy, impossible for them to break through.

The fishery needed to clear not only wild fish but also larger wild shrimp, crabs, and aquatic plants.

Some fish that were threatening to the fish fry, shrimp fry, and crab larvae but were too small to eat were released by Ange outside the fishery.

Ange steered the fishing boat around the fishery, and the aquatic plants that the Water-type Pokémon捞上 came were placed on the fishing boat, and then Ange steered the fishing boat to send the aquatic plants to the shore.

Ange clearing the aquatic plants at the bottom of the lake didn't mean that there would be no plants at the bottom of the lake in the future. He planned to buy new aquatic plants from the system store and plant them in the lake.

The aquatic plants bought from the system could not only act as fish feed but also purify the water quality, which was much better than wild aquatic plants.

Ange also planned to plant Ashelia grass.

The system store also sold Ashelia grass seedlings, and the Ashelia grass provided by the system would not become old and inedible in late autumn and winter like the wild species in Nibel Lake.

As long as the water temperature was suitable, they would always grow new shoots.

Ashelia grass was extremely nutritious for fish and Water-type Pokémon, and Ange himself liked to eat it. With Poliwag and its evolutions helping to cultivate it, he wasn't afraid that it wouldn't grow.

Ange was working hard to transport aquatic plants when suddenly Sobble climbed onto the boat, wailing.

"Mei Sao ~ Mei Sao ~" Help, help! I've been bitten!

It raised its finger and cried to Ange. Ange looked down and saw a creature covered in red carapace clamping onto its finger.

This… isn't this a crayfish?

Ange widened his eyes. So there were crayfish in Nibel Lake!

Thinking of all the delicious dishes that could be made with crayfish, Ange couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

"Sobble, bear with it, I'll take it off for you."

Ange squatted down and directly crushed the crayfish's pincers clamping onto Sobble's finger, instantly freeing Sobble.

"Mei Sao ~" It hurts!

As Sobble was about to shed tears, Ange picked it up and put it directly into the lake, so its tears wouldn't sting anyone.

( _ ) ヾ Sobble was stunned by Ange's sudden action and even forgot to cry.

"Hehe, Sobble, I'm afraid of being stung by your tears," Ange said with a smile.

Sobble: You heartless master!
