Gourmet master of the Pokemon world

Soon, the morning's stall business came to an end.

"Little boss, see you tomorrow at the tourist street!"

"See you there!"

"See you tomorrow, little boss."

"Be sure to come and support us!"

… …

An Jie packed up his things while saying goodbye to the departing customers.

After the customers had all left, An Jie smiled and asked Raquel and Fatty Sweetie, "How is it, Raquel, are you tired?"

"Here, I've made something good, I'll give you some."

Raquel stared at the contents of the glass jars and said in surprise, "Your Highness, is this Acirea seaweed?"

An Jie said in surprise, "You can still recognize it even after it's been made into a dish? You're much better than me. The first time I saw it, I had no idea what it was."

Raquel scratched her head sheepishly, "I've only seen it in books. This is the first time I've seen it in real life."

An Jie placed the three glass jars on the stove and introduced them to Raquel, "This is spicy Acirea seaweed that I made. It tastes especially good. No matter what you eat it with, the taste is extremely delicious. You, Jemima, and Flamel each get a jar."

This spicy Acirea seaweed was improved by An Jie, imitating his old mother's method from his previous life. Not only does it taste extremely good and goes well with rice, but it can also be stored for a long time. This full jar is enough for Raquel and the others to eat for a long time.

The Acirea seaweed that the Pokémon sent An Jie before was too much, and An Jie couldn't finish it all, so he stored it all in his system backpack.

Now the Acirea seaweed in Lake Nibel are all old, and so are the water chestnuts. The Pokémon can't pick them even if they want to, so last night An Jie thought about it and made all his remaining Acirea seaweed into spicy Acirea seaweed, and when everyone helps him plant fruit trees, he will give these to the Pokémon to eat with steamed buns.

Raquel picked up one of the glass jars, and after opening the lid, she immediately smelled a rich and domineering aroma.

"Wow!" she exclaimed, "It smells so good!"

"Pei Luo ~ Pei Luo ~"

Fatty Sweetie couldn't help but come over as well.

An Jie said, "You can try it first."

Hearing this, Raquel couldn't wait to pick up a piece of Acirea seaweed from the glass jar and put it in her mouth. Instantly, her eyes lit up.

With just one piece of Acirea seaweed, Raquel's mouth was filled with a rich spicy flavor. The deliciousness of the chili, the mellowness of the fermented soybeans, the aroma produced by the mixture of various spices… Especially the crisp texture and unique umami flavor brought by the Acirea seaweed inside were particularly obvious. The rich and diverse taste stimulated the taste buds, it was simply the ultimate enjoyment.

"Pei Luo ~ Pei Luo ~"

Fatty Sweetie was so stimulated by the rich aroma that she kept drooling, and kept tugging at Raquel's clothes, wanting him to give her a taste too.

Raquel quickly picked up one and put it in Fatty Sweetie's mouth, and Fatty Sweetie was instantly fascinated by this special delicacy.

Seeing that they still looked like they hadn't had enough, An Jie quickly said, "Okay, okay, wait until you get back to savor it slowly."

Raquel then embarrassedly put the lid back on the glass jar.

At this time, the royal palace guards had already appeared outside, they were here to pick up Raquel.

An Jie patted Raquel on the shoulder and said, "You and Fatty Sweetie should go back quickly, don't keep the guards waiting for too long."

"Mm ~ ~"

Raquel nodded, put all three glass jars into his personal space backpack, and then left with Fatty Sweetie with brisk steps. He couldn't wait to go back and try eating lunch with the spicy Acirea seaweed.

As soon as Raquel left, the Cleaning Mewtwo, who had cleaned up the tables and chairs, returned to the car.

An Jie asked it, "How was the feeling of interacting with humans?"

"Mew ~ Mew ~ Mew Pow ~" I feel like I definitely have no problem.

Cleaning Mewtwo said confidently.

An Jie smiled and said to it, "Congratulations, Cleaning Mewtwo, you've been hired."

"Mew ~ Mew ~" Thank you, thank you Mr. An Jie, I will definitely work hard.

Cleaning Mewtwo immediately jumped up and down happily.

"Alright, let's go home," An Jie said.

Afterwards, An Jie drove the car with the Komala and Cleaning Mewtwo back to the Snorlax Home. As soon as he arrived at the entrance, he saw Flamel leading a group of people knocking and hammering at the entrance of the store.

It turned out that the signboard that An Jie had asked Flamel to customize had arrived.

The signboard of Snorlax Home was an intentionally aged wooden signboard with the words "Snorlax Home" written in the middle, with steamed buns and mantou with rising steam in simple drawings on the left, and a Snorlax wearing a chef's hat and chef's uniform, holding a rice spoon in his hand, and smiling brightly on the right.

The signboard and the decoration style of the store matched very well.

The signboard was almost installed at this time.

Seeing An Jie return, Flamel quickly saluted An Jie, "Your Highness An Jie."

An Jie thanked her, "Thank you, Flamel, sorry for the trouble."

Flamel shook his head, "Your Highness is too polite, this is all I should do."

"Then I'll continue to trouble you here. As for the other signboard, I'll take it away myself," An Jie said.

The other signboard that An Jie was talking about was naturally the Diancie Cafeteria signboard.

The overall Diancie Cafeteria signboard was similar to the Snorlax Home signboard, but it was not aged, the signboard was new and shining brightly.

The left side of the signboard was a Diancie pattern wearing an apron, the middle was the words "Diancie Cafeteria", and the right side was a simple drawing of An Jie, Komala, and Snorlax hugging together.

Returning to his home in Nibel Plateau, An Jie gave Cleaning Mewtwo its internship salary for today, a can of energy cubes, and it left happily.

An Jie himself took Snorlax to install the signboard.

On the way home, Cleaning Mewtwo encountered a Skitty holding a withered fruit and a Hooligan Absol holding a pile of grass roots, so he waved to the two Pokémon:

"Mew Pow ~"

The two Pokémon walked to it in confusion.

"Mew Na ~" What's the matter, Big Brother Cleaning Mewtwo?

Skitty put down the fruit and asked in confusion.

"Zuru ~ Zuru ~" Little Brother Cleaning Mewtwo, do you want to eat my grass roots?

Saying that, Hooligan Absol pulled out a grass root from his arms and handed it to Cleaning Mewtwo.

Cleaning Mewtwo shook his head.

"Mew Pow ~ Mew ~ Mew Pow ~" You open your mouths.

Skitty and Hooligan Absol looked at each other in confusion, but they still obediently opened their mouths.

Seeing this, Cleaning Mewtwo opened the can containing the energy cubes, took out two energy cubes, and quickly stuffed them into the mouths of Skitty and Hooligan Absol.

The energy cubes melted in their mouths, and the two Pokémon instantly felt that their originally empty stomachs were filled with satiety, and their bodies were warm, and there was no hunger at all.

"Mew Na ~ Mew Na ~ ~" Big Brother Cleaning Mewtwo, what did you give us to eat?

Skitty looked curious.

"Zuru ~ Zuru ~"

Hooligan Absol also looked at Cleaning Mewtwo with bright eyes.

Espeon, hearing this, looked proud and gently opened its palm, revealing the sparkling energy cube.

"Meow~ Meow~ Meow pa~~" I'm going to work for Mr. An Jie from now on! This is the salary Mr. An Jie gave me!

"Meow na~ Meow na?" Really? Really? Espeon, you're so amazing!

Skitty jumped up and down with joy upon hearing this.

The Chansey family and Diglett brothers who worked for An Jie were always the envy of everyone.

"Meow na~ Meow na~" Then will you never have to go hungry again?

"Zhiru~ Zhiru~" That's great, I also want to work at An Jie's house, but I don't know how to do anything...

The bandana-wearing Poochyena was extremely envious.

Espeon patted the two Pokémon and said, "Meow~ Meow~ Meow pa~" Don't worry, I won't let you go hungry either.

As he spoke, he took out the jar containing the energy cubes again, counted out a few energy cubes, put them in the Poochyena's hands, and instructed it:

"Meow pa~ Meow~ Meow~ Meow pa~~" Take this back and share it with the Litwick and the others.

"Zhiru~~" Espeon...

The bandana-wearing Poochyena looked at Espeon with emotion, tears welling up in its eyes.

"Meow na~ Meow na~" Espeon, if you give us the food, what will you do?

Skitty asked worriedly.

"Meow pa~~" Look, isn't there still a lot left? I can't finish it all.

Espeon shook the jar in his hand, which still had more than half of the energy cubes left.

"Meow na~ Meow na~" Besides, I will continue to work for Mr. An Jie tomorrow and get paid, so you don't have to worry about me.

"Meow na~ Meow na~" Thank you, Espeon.

Skitty was relieved to hear this and smiled sweetly at Espeon.

"Meow pa~ Meow pa~" Okay, you guys go home quickly, I'm going home too.

Before leaving, Skitty stubbornly gave its own shriveled berry to Espeon.

And so, the three Pokémon separated.

On the way home, Espeon met Bunnelby again, or rather...it intentionally met it, and it also gave an energy cube to Bunnelby.

Then it met Lillipup, Floette, Buneary, Drilbur, Pachirisu, Aron, Sawsbuck... By the time it got home, there was only one energy cube left in the jar in its hand.

The Pokémon who were given energy cubes by Espeon were all young on the plateau and had no parents to take care of them.

Espeon's home was a small house built of dead wood and leaves. After pushing the door and entering the house, it sat on a pile of hay and poured out the last energy cube.

After staring at the last one for a while, Espeon showed a happy smile on its face, then stuck out its tongue and gently licked it.

After eating the energy cube bit by bit, it tightly held the shriveled tree fruit given by Skitty, lay down on the hay, and fell into a deep sleep, with a smile still hanging on the corner of its mouth.

It was quite tired after working for half a day.

--------

In the afternoon, An Jie disinfected and sterilized the Miltank milk that Gardevoir and the others squeezed back today with Munchlax at home, and then stored it in the refrigerator.

At this time, Diancie poked her head into the kitchen, "An Jie, Lapras is leaving Nibel Plateau today, are you going to see it off?"

"Huh? Leaving today?" An Jie paused in his movements.

He had heard Lapras say long ago that before the winter of Nibel Plateau arrived, it would migrate north along the Nibel River until it returned in late spring and early summer of the following year.

He didn't expect the day of migration to be today.

"Then hurry up and go, what are you waiting for?!" An Jie said, taking off the apron on his body, and did not forget to ask Munchlax, "Munchlax, are you going?"

"Gong~ Gong~" Going! Going!

Munchlax answered while clumsily taking off his apron.

Then the family of four hurriedly came to the shore of Nibel Lake. At this time, many Pokémon had come to the lakeside to see Lapras off.

"Woo~~"

Seeing An Jie appear, Lapras howled to the sky, its long and elegant voice echoing on the lake.

"Woo~~"

"Woo~~"

"Woo~~"

...

Immediately afterwards, there were cries of Lapras one after another. It turned out that Lapras had a group, and its migration journey was not alone.

An Jie came to Lapras's side and gave it a big hug on tiptoe.

"Lapras, thank you for your help during this time."

"Woo~~" An Jie, see you next year.

Lapras gently rubbed An Jie's cheek.

In fact, if it weren't for waiting for An Jie, it would have set off with the group at this time.

"Gong~ Gong~~" See you next year, be sure to come and see me.

Munchlax also tiptoed and gently patted Lapras's neck, tears already welling up in his eyes.

"Woo~~"

Lapras nodded and lowered his head to kiss Munchlax's eyebrows. These days, it eats the steamed buns and buns made by Munchlax every day. This kiss is a thank you to it.

"Woo~"

"Woo~~"

"Woo~~~"

...

At this time, the calls of Lapras's companions came again from afar. This was an urging to Lapras.

It's time to set off!

"Woo~~" Everyone, I'm leaving.

The breeze blew, rippling the lake and stirring the hearts of An Jie and the Pokémon.

Life has reunions and partings, and An Jie and the others are now experiencing the necessary parting.

"Li~~"

"Kilu~"

"Xiupu~~"

...

As Lapras swam towards the distance, the Pokémon on the shore also waved goodbye to it.

"Lapras, see you next year!" An Jie shouted loudly while waving his hand vigorously.

"Woo~~"

Lapras turned its head frequently, making a reluctant whimper.

At this time, one Lapras after another emerged from the water and gathered around Lapras. They sang together and swam towards the upper reaches of the Nibel River.

Goldeen, Seaking, Magikarp, Poliwag, Staryu, Totodile, Feebas... One Water-type Pokémon after another gathered on both sides of the Lapras group, jumping out of the water from time to time, protecting the Lapras all the way forward, blessing them all the way, and not stopping until they sent them to the exit of Nibel Lake.

Looking at the disappearing back of the Lapras group, An Jie was lost in thought.

At this time, Diancie said softly: "We will meet again next year."

Even Komala, who had been sleeping soundly, made an exception and gently patted An Jie, although it still kept its eyes closed.

An Jie's mood improved a lot immediately, "Yes, we can see you again next year!"
