Gourmet master of the Pokemon world

Halfway through the flight, Anjie seemed to hear a system notification, and immediately afterward, he received a message from Diancie. It turned out that Diancie had taken on another task for him.

Only then did Anjie realize that the system notification was about the arrival of a new task. He quickly opened the system to check the situation and indeed saw an additional task in the taskbar.

He currently had quite a few unfinished tasks accumulated, so he had to scroll down to see the new one.

[Ingredient Collection Task 2] Capture a female Combee — Pending.

[Ingredient Collection Task 3] Collect Hopo Berry seeds — Pending.

[Ingredient Collection Task 4] Collect Balm Mushroom spores — Pending.

[Temporary Task 1] Help Magearna improve her dessert making to reach pastry chef level — Pending.

[Temporary Task 2] Help Magearna open a dessert shop — Pending.

[Temporary Task 3] Help Carbink overcome a difficulty — Pending.

The new task is to help Carbink…

Carbink? Where did Carbink come from? Anjie was a bit confused.

Could it be that a Carbink nearby is in trouble?

Thinking this, Anjie quickly called out to Altaria, "Altaria, please land for a moment."

"Chirp ~ ~"

Altaria nodded and quickly descended, flapping its wings. Swablu and Metagross followed closely behind.

"Chir-p ~ Chir-p ~" Anjie, what's happening?

Swablu landed on Anjie's shoulder, curiously asking.

Stufful in Anjie's arms also looked up at Anjie in confusion.

Anjie used his phone to find a picture of Carbink, then said to Swablu, Metagross, and Altaria:

"Please look around to see if there's a Carbink. It's the Pokémon in the picture. It might be in trouble."

"Chir-p ~"

"Chirp ~ ~"

Swablu and Altaria, mother and daughter, nodded and flew back into the air, searching in two different directions.

"Meta ~"

Metagross also nodded and chose a direction to search.

Anjie, holding Stufful, searched in another direction.

"Stu ~ ~"

Stufful jumped out of Anjie's arms, sniffing with its nose, lying on the ground like a puppy, trying to help Anjie find Carbink through its sense of smell.

"Stu ~ ~"

Encouraged by Anjie, Stufful became even more motivated, running quickly across the grass.

Anjie himself began to use his Aura to sense the surrounding environment.

A Pokémon's Aura is very different from the Aura of other objects, so as long as there are Pokémon nearby, Anjie could immediately sense them.

Sure enough, he soon sensed a special Aura fluctuation. He quickly followed the sensation and soon saw a bush.

There was a rustling sound coming from the bush.

Could it be here?

Thinking this, Anjie slowly approached the bush and gently parted it.

But after parting it, he was stunned. There was no Carbink inside, only a Nidoran and Nidoran♀ who were getting intimate.

They were in the heat of the moment when they were startled by the sudden arrival of Anjie. They glared fiercely at Anjie at the same time.

Tsk! Jerk, disturbing people's business, how immoral!

After glaring at Anjie, Nidoran♀ and Nidoran angrily ran away.

Anjie was embarrassed. He quickly changed his location and sensed again.

Soon he sensed several more Aura fluctuations coming from a different place. When he arrived, he found it wasn't a bush but behind a tree, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

If it's a tree, then there's no need to worry about embarrassment.

But this time he was disappointed again, because this time he found several Fletchling chirping on the tree.

The Fletchling weren't afraid of Anjie, they just glanced at him casually and continued playing on their own.

As time passed, Anjie searched everywhere nearby, but still couldn't find any trace of Carbink.

Could I be wrong? Is it not a Carbink nearby that's in trouble?

At this time, Swablu, Altaria, and Metagross returned one after another. Anjie quickly asked them, "Did you find anything?"

The three Pokémon shook their heads.

Really got it wrong?

Speaking of which, Anjie was a little puzzled as to why the system wanted him to help Carbink. There are so many Pokémon in the world, and almost every moment there are Pokémon in trouble, but he's never seen the system specifically ask him to help!

Just as Anjie was puzzled, Stufful ran back excitedly.

"Stu ~ Stu ~" I found it! I found it!

Anjie was pleasantly surprised to hear this and said, "You really found it?"

"Stu ~ Stu ~" Stufful nodded repeatedly.

"Where is it? Take me there quickly!" Anjie said excitedly.

"Stu ~ Stu ~"

Stufful nodded, waved to Anjie, and quickly ran in one direction. Anjie quickly followed, with Metagross, Swablu, and Altaria following closely behind.

Under Stufful's lead, Anjie and the others arrived at a small pond a bit far from the previous location.

Three Carbink, soaking wet and unconscious, were lying by the pond. The Pokémon in the pond surrounded the shore, watching them.

When they saw Anjie approaching, the Pokémon surrounding Carbink returned to the pond one after another, watching the shore from a distance.

Anjie quickly ran over to check on Carbink's condition. After finding that they were only temporarily unconscious and not seriously injured, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, Anjie took out a dry towel, intending to dry Carbink's wet bodies. They are Pokémon who are afraid of water, so being soaked should be very uncomfortable.

"Stu ~"

Seeing this, Stufful next to him ran to Anjie and held out a hand.

Anjie smiled and said, "You want to help too?"

"Stu ~ Stu ~" Stufful nodded repeatedly.

"Okay." Saying that, he put the towel in his hand into Stufful's hand, and then took out another one himself.

In this way, Anjie and Stufful helped together, and soon the three Carbink's bodies were dry.

Then, Anjie took out Sitrus Berries that could restore stamina and fed them to them. Before long, the three Carbink slowly woke up.

"Humans?"

The newly awakened Carbink were very wary of Anjie. After exclaiming, they quickly moved away from Anjie.

Anjie was also very surprised, because just now one of the Carbink, like his Diancie, could actually use telepathy.

Ordinary Carbink can't do that.

Could it be that these three Carbink have something special about them?

Anjie quickly reassured them, "You don't need to worry, I don't have any ill intentions. I saved you when you were unconscious just now. My Stufful found you by the pond. I heard it say that you fell into the pond."

"Stu ~ ~"

Stufful scratched its head embarrassedly. Actually, it wasn't it who saved Carbink, but the Water-type Pokémon in the pond who helped pull Carbink out.

Only then did the three Carbink remember that they were in a hurry to find their missing princess. When they dug out of the ground, they accidentally opened the exit of the cave at the bottom of the pond, which is why they were flooded.

Learning that Anjay had saved them, their gazes finally became less wary. One of the little Carbink hopped forward to express its gratitude to Anjay.

“Honorable sir, thank you for saving us. My name is Majima, and these two are my colleagues, Knight and Juke. We were rude just now.”

For safety reasons, Majima did not reveal to Anjay that they were searching for the princess.

Sir? Colleagues? What strange way of speaking. And these three little Carbink actually have names! How surprising.

Anjay suppressed his doubts and waved his hand, saying, “It's alright, it's good that you're all okay.”

“Thank you for your forgiveness,” Majima said.

“By the way, are you hungry? Shall I get you something to eat?” Anjay suddenly said.

Majima and the others exchanged glances. They wanted to refuse, but their stomachs were indeed extremely hungry. If they didn't fill their bellies, they might not be able to keep up with the princess.

“Thank you, human. We will certainly remember this kindness,” Majima said with a slightly embarrassed expression.

They were too disheveled. They had simply failed the Diamond Minister's instructions, not only losing the princess but also falling into the pond.

Anjay spread a picnic cloth by the pond and then took out ingredients and cooking utensils from his system backpack and placed them on it.

He hadn't expected the system to ask him to find the Carbink on the road, so he hadn't brought any food with him and could only prepare some on the spot.

Seeing that there was still some rice in the system backpack, Anjay thought for a moment and decided to make some fried rice.

Fried rice was simple and convenient to make, tasted good, and was filling, making it perfect for the current situation.

He took out the stove, lit it, and placed the pot on top, then poured in Olynu's oil.

Having experienced not having fire to use in Zone Zero, Anjay had specially prepared several stoves to carry with him. This stove was a technological product of the Pokémon world, using new energy. One charge could last a long time, and the firepower could be adjusted at will, which was very convenient.

With this kind of stove, Anjay could cook anytime, anywhere in the future!

Although Fire-type Pokémon could also help with cooking, unless it was Charcadet, Torkoal, Camerupt, or Coalossal, which had stable firepower, other Fire-type Pokémon were not as useful as stoves.

While the oil was heating up, Anjay quickly took out eggs, cracked them into a bowl, and whisked them, adding an appropriate amount of rock salt during the mixing process.

After mixing evenly, he poured the egg mixture into the hot oil pan.

With a sizzling sound, the golden egg mixture quickly expanded in the oil pan, and the aroma spread out at the same time.

The Carbink looked at Anjay, who was busy, and smelled the fragrance wafting in the air, making their stomachs even hungrier.

Annihilape came over with a mouthful of saliva. Anjay smiled and said, “Do you want to eat too?”

“Ape~” Annihilape nodded vigorously.

Anjay shook his head helplessly and agreed with a smile, “Alright, I'll make you an extra bowl.”

“Ape~” Annihilape was overjoyed and ran around Anjay in circles.

Anjay quickly said, “Go away, be careful not to knock over my things.”

“Ape~”

Annihilape responded and ran happily to the side.

At this time, Swablu was chirping to the three little Carbink, boasting about how delicious the food Anjay made was. After hearing this, Annihilape quickly joined Swablu's praise team.

Carbink: So hungry! So hungry!

At this moment, they heard Anjay shout loudly, “Metagross, Swablu, Altaria, would you like to have something to eat as well?”

“Meta~”

“Chiru~”

“Chi~”

The three Pokémon responded at the same time. Of course, they wanted to eat. How could anyone refuse the delicious food that Anjay made?

Hearing the Pokémon's affirmative answers, Anjay said with a smile, “Then I'll make a little more.”

He took out the already scrambled eggs from the pot and set them aside. Anjay poured more oil into the pot. After the oil was hot, he poured the rice into it to stir-fry and added an appropriate amount of rock salt.

After stir-frying until the rice grains were distinct, he poured the previous eggs into the rice and continued to stir-fry. When it was almost ready to be taken out of the pot, Anjay added chopped green onions.

After stir-frying a few times appropriately, he could take it out of the pot when the aroma of the green onions was completely released.

“Annihilape, come over and bring the fried rice to everyone,” Anjay said while serving the rice.

“Ape~”

Annihilape ran over happily and raised his hands.

“Go!” Anjay placed the plate full of fried rice in Annihilape's hands.

“Ape~~”

Annihilape sprinted to the picnic cloth, placed the plate of fried rice in front of Majima, and then quickly ran back to Anjay's side, raising his hands again.

Soon, a large plate of fried rice was placed in front of all the Pokémon.

After turning off the fire, Anjay came to the picnic cloth with the last plate of fried rice. Everyone had already begun to feast.

Seeing everyone eating happily, a smile appeared on his face.

Putting down the fried rice in his hand, Anjay took out a Poké Ball and released Mareep.

After Mareep came out, she stood still, lowered her head, and stared at the ground, with no reaction to the outside world.

Anjay sighed and then raised his smiling face again, pushing the plate towards Mareep and saying in a gentle voice, “Mareep, are you hungry? Eat something.”

Mareep stared at the fried rice for a while, then lowered her head and ate it in small bites, looking very leisurely.

Seeing that Mareep knew how to eat normally, Anjay breathed a sigh of relief and then sat quietly beside her, watching the Pokémon eat.

As he watched, he suddenly thought that he didn't seem to have checked Mareep's data yet.

Thinking this, he opened the Eye of Insight and looked at Mareep.

Mareep

[Type] Electric

[Ability] Static

[Gender] Female

[Level] 5

[Moves] Tackle, Growl, Thunder Wave, Cotton Spore, Charge Beam, Volt Switch, Rain Dance, Power Gem, Electric Terrain, Electroweb.

[Individual Values]

HP: 31

Attack: 30

Defense: 31

Special Attack: 31

Special Defense: 31

Speed: 31

After reading it, Anjay was stunned. Was he really not seeing things?

The level was only 5, which was understandable. After all, this child suffered from congenital autism. Although she had been born for a while, she only spaced out and had never exercised, so her level couldn't be raised.

But what was going on with these moves? Was it really legal for a level 5 Pokémon to know so many moves?

Or was it that Mareep seemed to be spacing out, but was actually silently observing the world around her and learning moves from other Pokémon?

Because of her extraordinary talent, she learned the moves just by watching?

And her individual values were too exaggerated! Except for Attack, everything else was full, and Attack was only 1 point short.

Anjay originally thought Annihilape was already a genius, but he didn't expect Mareep to be even more talented! Was it true that there were many geniuses among autistic children?

Putting away the Eye of Insight, Anjay sighed deeply.

What a pity.

It was a pity that she had such good talent, but couldn't use it because of her innate autism!
