Gourmet master of the Pokemon world

Thinking this, An Jie used a Master Ball to retrieve Tapu Lele, then said to the three guardian deities, "You can rest assured and leave Tapu Lele to me. I will definitely make it different from what it is now, well-behaved and sensible."

Although the three guardian deities were worried, they nodded, and then each flew back to the island they guarded.

After watching the three guardian deities leave, An Jie sent Latias, Latios, and Darkrai back home, and then summoned Claydol over.

When Claydol came over, it had a large white steamed bun in its mouth, and it didn't even have time to swallow the half-eaten bun.

Suddenly being summoned by An Jie, it looked dazed, staring at An Jie with wide eyes.

"Hehehe ~ ~" Vulpix, Sylveon, and Genesect couldn't help but huddle together and snicker at Claydol's funny appearance.

Claydol glared at them fiercely after noticing.

What are you laughing at!

After a long while, An Jie slowly opened his mouth and said, "Why are you eating at this time?"

Recently, Snorlax always found that some food in the kitchen would inexplicably disappear. At first, it thought it was a thief, so it paid close attention.

Later, it found out that the one stealing food was Claydol.

In order to quickly restore its former strength and not be discovered by everyone that it was working hard, Claydol often secretly trained in the training room.

That's why everyone usually doesn't easily see it outside.

After the amount of training increased significantly, its appetite naturally increased significantly as well. The usual three meals a day simply couldn't satisfy its appetite.

So it would often sneak into Snorlax's kitchen to steal food every now and then.

Not only Snorlax's place, but it had also been to Magearna's and Passimian's places several times.

Snorlax didn't expose it after discovering it, but secretly told An Jie, and An Jie didn't expose it either.

Secretly working hard isn't a bad thing. What if it gets angry out of embarrassment and just gives up?

Probably because it was originally Hoopa, and there was still some of its original power remaining in its body, coupled with its hard work, its strength did indeed increase faster than all the other Pokémon, and it learned skills with ease.

Many ignorant little guys on the plateau admire it so much for its rapid increase in strength, thinking it is a genius among geniuses.

It doesn't explain and very vainly accepts everyone's praise.

Claydol itself didn't go in, but found a place in the crater to nest and continued to gnaw on the steamed bun.

After passing through the space tunnel, Steenee, Bounsweet, and Salandit all looked around with curious eyes.

They saw large, neat fields in front of them, with green waves of wheat rolling in the breeze, looking very spectacular.

Yamper strolled through the fields, exuding the fragrance of wheat, while Houndoom followed behind it with a serious expression.

Volcarona waved its wings in the sky, facing the sun, dancing a mysterious dance, absorbing the power of the sun into its body, and scattered scales fell with the wind.

In addition, Pokémon from the Gokin Forest also strolled in the fields, such as Geodude, Graveler, Lurantis, Tangrowth…

They all came to help take care of the wheat fields.

An Jie introduced to Steenee, Bounsweet, and Salandit, "This is where our family's seed wheat is. When the wheat matures, we can eat high-quality flour."

Steenee was a Pokémon cultivated by the Joy family. It had no shortage of food or drink since childhood and only needed to learn skills and knowledge, so it didn't react much to An Jie's words.

But Salandit and Bounsweet were different. They were born in the wild, and all their food needed to be obtained through gathering.

And gathering has too much uncertainty. If they are unlucky and don't encounter anything, then they can only go hungry.

Bounsweet is better. As a Grass-type Pokémon, it can obtain most of the energy needed for activities by basking in the sun.

But Salandit can't. It also has to suffer exploitation from Salazzle and other strong male Salandit. Even if it sometimes finds food, it may not be able to eat it.

So, hearing An Jie's words, its face was full of longing.

Seeing its expression, An Jie smiled and said, "Don't worry, even if the wheat hasn't matured yet, our family won't lack food or drink."

Salandit became even more longing upon hearing this.

"Let's go, let's go find Heatran." After the introduction, An Jie waved his hand.

Salandit scurried onto Genesect's back, stretched its neck, and asked in a low voice, "Yamo ~ Yamo ~" Who is Heatran?

Genesect explained, "Ahem ~ Ahem ~" It is the guardian deity of the volcano, um… it's a being similar to your guardian deities.

"Wow ~" Salandit covered its mouth in surprise. So powerful?

Thinking this, it looked at An Jie again, and An Jie's back became taller and taller in its eyes.

The guardian deity of the volcano… Murmuring this title silently, Salandit didn't know what it was thinking.

An Jie and the others walked towards the top of the mountain all the way, but halfway there, they suddenly saw thick smoke drifting towards this place, along with a powerful pressure.

Salandit and Bounsweet were immediately frightened and trembled. One hid behind An Jie and hugged An Jie's calf; the other shrank into Steenee's arms and buried its head.

An Jie smiled and said, "It seems we don't need to find it, Heatran has come on its own."

Sure enough, the thick smoke soon reached An Jie and the others, and the one creating the thick smoke was Heatran.

“Heatran~” How did you get here?

Heatran greeted Ange.

Ange said, "I want to ask you for a favor?"

Heatran raised his chin. "Why should I help you?"

Ange said, "I heard you've been going to Nibel Plateau often recently, and you even eat at my cafeteria. What's wrong? Did you eat for free?"

Heatran's aura weakened when he heard this. "I let you use such a large plain, and you're still counting the things I ate? Are you really that petty?"

Ange imitated his action, raising his chin and saying, "What if I'm petty? The right to use the plains was exchanged with the Illusory Tree Fruit. You eating and drinking for free at my place are two different things!"

"You!" Heatran glared at Ange.

Ange spread his hands. "Anyway, if you don't help me, don't go to my house for food in the future."

"Help! Help! Is that okay?" The thought of not being able to eat those delicacies in the future made Heatran uncomfortable, so he could only compromise.

Ange smiled upon hearing this. "That's right. We'll be dealing with each other a lot in the future, so of course, we have to help each other!"

"Speak, what kind of help?" Heatran asked.

So Ange told Heatran about Ninetales. Heatran said after listening, "It's just a small matter. You should have said so earlier. Let's go."

Immediately, Ange dialed the Claydol's number and asked it to reopen the space tunnel. Ange brought Heatran to the top of Mount Lanakila.

Looking at the rolling lava below, Heatran asked, "Is it here?"

Ange nodded, "That's right."

Heatran jumped in directly with a plop upon hearing this.

About a dozen minutes later, the scalding lava suddenly rolled more violently. Accompanied by a gushing of lava, Heatran and a Ninetales emerged.

Seeing Ninetales, Ange said in surprise, "Lillie, it really is you!"

Ninetales looked equally surprised to see Ange. A phantom figure of a girl appeared beside it.

The girl said, "Ange, what are you doing here?"

Ange smiled, "I'm here in Alola for a vacation!"

He had previously guessed whether the Ninetales fighting Tapu Koko might be Lillie, so he kept asking about Ninetales' whereabouts.

He didn't expect it to really be Lillie.

Now that he thought about it, how could a Ninetales as powerful as Lillie appear a second time so casually?

Lillie leaped ashore, and Heatran followed closely behind.

Ange asked, "I heard from Tapu Koko that you jumped into the lava pool yourself. Is that true? It wouldn't lie to me, would it?"

Lillie sighed deeply before replying, "I jumped down myself."

"Why?" Ange asked in confusion.

Lillie explained, "Our battle caused the volcano to shake, so the volcano showed signs of revival. If left unattended, it might erupt, so I had to jump down to suppress the volcano."

"I see." Ange understood upon hearing this. "It's all Tapu Koko's fault."

Lillie asked, "You saw Tapu Koko. It didn't do anything to you, did it?"

It had completely realized Tapu Koko's willfulness. It clearly said it didn't want to play with it, but it just wouldn't listen and would start fighting without saying a word.

It had traveled around and seen a lot, but this was really the first time it had seen something like this…

Ange said mysteriously, "It's just a Tapu Koko. It can't do anything to me. Don't worry."

Thinking of Ange's strength, Lillie nodded. "That's right, I was worrying needlessly."

Ange touched its head, expressing gratitude for its concern, and then asked, "Is the volcano okay now?"

Lillie nodded. "Yes, Heatran helped calm the violent volcano, so it's fine now."

Heatran glanced at Ange dissatisfied. "What do you take me for? This little problem is just a matter of convenience!"

Ange smiled and gave him a thumbs up, saying, "Yes, yes, yes, as expected of Heatran, you're so amazing!"

Heatran was a little embarrassed by his praise. "Stop talking nonsense, send me back quickly."

"I'll send you now, what's the rush!" Ange quickly agreed, then turned to look at Claydol and said, "Claydol, please."

Claydol nodded and opened the space tunnel again.

Just as Heatran was about to step into the space tunnel, Salandit suddenly seemed to have made some kind of determination. It tugged at Ange's trouser leg and called out twice.

"Ya Mo~ Ya Mo~"

Ange said in surprise, "You want to go to Heatran's Plain too?"

"Ya Mo~ Ya Mo~" Salandit nodded repeatedly.

Ange quickly guessed Salandit's intention and nodded with a smile. "Alright then, work hard there. If you encounter any problems, go to Stoutland and Houndoom. They will help you solve them.

When I go home in a while, I'll come to see you right away!"

"Ya Mo~" Salandit nodded, then quickly ran into the space tunnel, chasing after Heatran.

After sending Heatran and Salandit away, Claydol said to Ange, "Clay~ Clay~" Is there anything else? If not, I'm going home too.

Ange waved his hand. "Go ahead, go ahead."

It opened the space tunnel to Nibel Plateau and was about to leave when Ange suddenly called out to it again, "Wait!"

Claydol looked at Ange in confusion, and Ange looked at Audino and Steenee and asked, "Do you two want to go back with Claydol and adapt to the environment of your new home in advance?"

"Tabunee~" Audino immediately nodded in agreement.

"Amaii~" The timid Steenee hesitated a little.

"Fee Ya~" At this time, Sylveon volunteered to go back with them.

Seeing this, Ange said, "Then I'll leave it to you, Sylveon."

"Fee Ya~" Sylveon nodded seriously. It was a big Pokémon and would definitely take good care of the little ones.

Ange instructed it, "After you go back, take Steenee to see Passimian first, and tell Passimian that Steenee is the assistant chef I found for it. It will take good care of Steenee.

Then take Audino to see Lilligant and tell Lilligant to give all the medical equipment that it won't use to Audino.

Also, tell Metagross to get a Mega Evolution device for Audino."

"Fee Ya~ Fee Ya~" Sylveon nodded constantly, remembering Ange's instructions one by one.

After Ange finished instructing, Claydol took Sylveon, Audino, and Steenee back to Nibel Plateau, while Ange was left with two Komala, Genesect, Vulpix, and Lillie.
