Chapter 104 Big Shopping Spree

After greeting Saltstone, Nemo stood up and greeted Angie.

"Hello, my name is Nemo."

Anjie nodded to her. "My name is Anjie."

Nemo looked at Ange with sparkling eyes and asked, "Is Ange a trainer? Want to have a fierce battle with me?"

Anjie smiled and shook his head. "Unfortunately, I'm just a chef, not a trainer."

At this moment, Pipa said with a look of admiration, "Although Brother Ange isn't a trainer, his Pokémon are amazing!"

Hearing this, Nemo became even more excited. "Please, you must fight me!"

Angie chuckled wryly and patted Pipa on the shoulder, saying, "You rascal, don't spread rumors about me like this!"

After saying that, he looked at Nemo and said, "I'm really not a trainer!"

Nemo is a future champion, much better than him.

However, Nemo was very stubborn. She clasped her hands together and pleaded, "Please, please, you must fight me, otherwise I won't be able to sleep tonight!"

Despite her young age, Nemo is already one of the top trainers at Orange Academy.

Since Nemo had already gone this far, Angie had no choice but to agree.

"Okay, but let me make it clear beforehand, I'm not a trainer, so I basically rely on my Pokémon for battles. Don't be disappointed!"

Also, we only have one match; we have other things to do!

"OK! OK!" Nemo said repeatedly, as long as they were willing to fight her.

She ran quickly to the center of the grass and waved to Anjie, saying, "Come on, right here."

Angie nodded, walked to the other side of the grass, and stood facing Nemo.

After taking out a Poké Ball, Anja said, "Let's begin!"

Nemo, upon hearing this, also took out a Poké Ball.

Since Papa said that Anja was very strong, then she couldn't possibly use the Bupa she had just subdued.

As two beams of light flashed, two Pokémon appeared on the grass: Metagross on Angel's side and Goodra on Nemo's side.

Nemo became even more excited when she saw that Angel's Pokémon was Metagross.

"Metamorphosis! A very rare Pokémon."

Anjie said, "Your sticky dragon is too."

As he spoke, he began to look at the Nume Dragon opposite him with his Observational Eye.

Nemo truly deserves to be a future champion; despite her young age, her Pokémon level is already so high.

But isn't it too unfair to use Metagross? I don't know what Metagross's IVs are, but its level is definitely much higher than Goodra's.

But forget it, we can't let him fight with Bubo and Super Ebony! He definitely wouldn't win.

Piper: "The game begins."

As Pipa's voice faded, Angel and Nemo simultaneously issued commands to their Pokémon.

Ange: "Metamorphose, use Agility to get close to Goodra, then use Ice Punch!"

Nemo: "Sticky Dragon, Dragon Pulse!"

Metagross's body blurred into a streak as it charged rapidly toward Goodra, while Goodra opened its mouth and spewed out a dragon-shaped energy wave.

Metagross, having already used High Speed ​​Boost, became incredibly fast, easily dodging Goodra's Dragon Pulse and arriving beside Goodra in the blink of an eye.

A chilling aura surged from Metagross's steel claws as it punched Goodra.

Seeing this, Nemo quickly shouted, "Snore, Water Tail!"

As she finished speaking, a layer of water clung to Goodra's thick tail, which lashed out fiercely at Metagross.

The steel claws collided with the dragon's tail, instantly freezing the dragon's tail inch by inch. At the same time, it let out a wail and flew backward, rolling several times on the ground before its head lolled to the side and it lost consciousness.

Nemo was stunned. She had lost just like that?

By this time, a number of students had gathered around to watch.

"That Metagross is amazing! It defeated Nemo's Goodra so easily."

"Who is that blond youth? Is he a new transfer student at our school?"

"I don't know, he seemed to have come with Pipa."

……

Ange quickly ran to Goodra's side with Metagross and fed it rock salt and berries.

Nemo ran over, looking at Ange with excitement: "You really are as amazing as Pipa said! You're so...so amazing!"

Anjie said, "The powerful ones are Pokémon, it has nothing to do with me."

Nemo became even more excited upon hearing this, "This is the ultimate level of a trainer—letting Pokémon learn how to become stronger and how to battle on their own! Isn't that so cool!"

Anjie: ...

He quickly changed the subject: "Your Goodra has eaten a berry to restore its strength, and its wound has been treated with rock salt from a Salt Giant. It should be fine now, but just to be on the safe side, you should still take it to the Pokémon Center to have it checked out."

"I see!"

Nemo used a Poké Ball to recall Goodra, then rushed towards the Pokémon Center with an excited smile on her face, as if she had just realized something.

After Nemo left, Pipa ran to Ange's side and said, "Brother Ange, you are really amazing! You even beat Nemo. Nemo is a very famous trainer in our school, and very few students can beat her."

Anjie patted Metagross and said, "It's all Metagross's doing. You know, Metagross was already this powerful when I captured it. It has nothing to do with me."

Piper said, "Doesn't that just prove how amazing you are? You managed to subdue something as powerful as Metagross."

That being said, the key point is that the Komaru that defeated Metagross wasn't raised by him! Angie thought helplessly.

Forget it, forget it! It's hard to explain in a short time, let him pretend for now!

"Anyway, don't spread rumors about me next time. I'm just an ordinary cook," Angie said helplessly to Pipa.

Pipa: "Okay, I got it!"

The two then left amidst the surprised and curious gazes of the Orange Academy students.

After passing through a series of corridors, Anjie and Paipa quickly arrived at the chairman's office and met with the chairman of the college, Yeci.

Upon seeing Ange, Yeci smiled and said, "I just received news that you defeated Nemo in a Pokémon battle!"

Anjie laughed and said, "It was just luck."

Yeci shook his head. "A win is a win. There's no room for luck. I heard from Dr. Orin that you're a skilled chef, but I never imagined you were also a powerful trainer."

Upon hearing this, Anjie waved his hands repeatedly, "No, no, no, you misunderstood. I'm really just a chef, not a trainer."

"Then how do you explain that powerful Megalodon?" Yeci asked.

Anjie: Don't ask too many questions about the chef.

Seeing that Anjie remained silent, he asked this time, "Mr. Anjie, would you be interested in joining our Padia Alliance? We offer very good benefits."

Anjie said, "President Yeci, I am a member of the royal family of Azot, I cannot..."

He was interrupted by Ye Ci before he could finish speaking.

"So what? Nobody says members of Azot's royal family can't join other alliances!"

Just like in the game, Ye Ci here is also dedicated to discovering talent for the Padiya Alliance.

Anjie shook her head and said, "I'm sorry..."

Ye Ci looked regretful upon hearing this: "Oh dear, what a pity! I thought you had the potential to become a champion!"

Anjie thought to herself: Is this what you say to everyone you want to win over?

He reiterated, "I just want to be a good chef."

Ye Ci: "Alright then, since you're unwilling, I won't force you."

Anjie breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. "Papa is in the care of President Yeci. I have other matters to attend to, so I'll be leaving now."

Yeci nodded: "Don't worry, I'll take good care of Papa."

Then Anjay walked over to Pipa and said, "Pippa, I'm leaving now. We'll contact each other by phone later."

Pipa: "Okay, goodbye, Brother Ange."

After saying goodbye to Piper, Angie left Orange Academy.

Walking down the streets of Tabletop City, Anjie said to Bubo, "We still have some time before boarding, so what should we do next?"

"Bu~Bu~" Let's go eat something delicious!

Bubo poked his head out from behind Anjie.

Anjie tapped its little head, "You've already eaten so much, and you want more?"

As he spoke, he pinched Buba's belly and asked, "Have you gained weight?"

Bubo immediately clutched its stomach and shook its head frantically, fearing that Anjie would withhold its food.

"Bu~Bu~Bu~" No, no!

Suddenly, Anjie had a brilliant idea. "That's it! How about we go grocery shopping?"

A metropolis like Taiko must have plenty of top-quality ingredients! As a chef, the allure of ingredients is immense.

Without further ado, Anjie took Bubo straight to the large supermarket in Zhuotai City.

Just as Anjie had predicted, the supermarkets in Tabletop City had many items that couldn't be bought in Azot Royal City.

"Is this Yanshibao rock salt?" Anjie asked, staring at the beautifully packaged bags of rock salt on the shelf.

Rock salt, which is always in short supply in the royal city of Azot, is surprisingly plentiful here!

But thinking about it, it seems reasonable. Although rock salt is indeed rare, Padiya is its place of origin.

Since they already had Salt Stone Giant and Salt Stone Treasure, Anjie skipped the rock salt shelf.

Upon seeing the products on another shelf, Anjie couldn't wait to run over.

It's chili powder ground with the teeth of a hot-tempered kid!

Although Anjie's family also produces hot and spicy food, the output is not as high as that of rock salt, so Anjie still decided to stock up on some.

Anjie threw about ten bags into the cart before stopping.

He hadn't walked far when his gaze was drawn to something else.

"It's yeast produced by paparazzi!"

Anjie walked quickly to a shelf and eagerly took down a bag about the size of her palm.

"This is a must-buy!"

His family steams buns and mantou every day, and yeast is an essential ingredient! You can't buy the yeast produced by Gouzaibao in Azot.

Anjie threw bags of yeast from the shelf into the cart, one bag, two bags, three bags... she threw a hundred bags in a row before stopping, and more than half of the shelf was gone.

"Wasn't that going too far?" Anjie scratched his head, a little embarrassed.

"Bu~Bu~"

Bubo jumped from Anjie's shoulder into the cart, holding a bag of yeast with a puzzled look on his face.

Anjie said with a smile, "These are essential ingredients for making delicious food!"

Upon hearing about something delicious, Bubo quickly stuffed the yeast in his hand into the cart and even stood on tiptoe to reach for other items on the shelf.

Seeing this, Anjie quickly stopped it, "Bubo, that's enough, that's enough, we've bought enough!"

Upon hearing this, Bu Bo stopped what he was doing.

Then Anjie saw Origen oil, but his family already had enough, so he didn't buy any. If it were Oliva oil, he would consider it.

The ingredients produced by these Pokémon are generally much more expensive than those of their kind.

For example, a small bag of rock salt from Saltstone Treasure costs as much as 35 Alliance Coins, while a bag of ordinary table salt only costs 2-5 Alliance Coins. If the rock salt is produced by Saltstone Fortress or Saltstone Giant, the price will be even higher, and the supply may even fall short of demand.

For example, a bag of Spicy Baby chili powder sells for 25 Alliance Coins here, while regular chili powder only costs 3-10 Alliance Coins.

Needless to say, Orion oil costs 780 Union Coins for a 1L container, which is 5-6 times the price of ordinary cooking oil.

When passing by the fresh food section, Anjie saw some light cod meat again, but there was only a little left, so he bought it all.

Then he bought a lot of high-quality meats such as pork, beef, and mutton. Anyway, they wouldn't spoil since they were in his system inventory. He had come all this way to a big city, so of course he couldn't miss out.

Although the royal city of Azot has no shortage of high-quality meat, and the royal family even has special meat supplied to them, the types of meat produced in different regions are different, and the taste varies greatly.

Seeing that she had bought almost everything, Anjie decided to leave to pay the bill.

"Bu~Bu~~" Bubo nestled on Anjie's shoulder, wiggling happily.

Anjie asked with a smile, "In such a good mood?"

"Bu~Bu~" Bubo nodded repeatedly. Anjie bought a lot of ingredients, which meant that a lot of delicious food would be made, so of course it was in a good mood.

Anjie said, "All you ever do is eat! You'll get so fat you can barely walk!"

"No way!"

Bubo said defiantly.

Just as Anjie was pushing a cart full of groceries to the checkout, a supermarket employee suddenly pushed a small cart over. Inside the cart were many white eggs, each about the size of a human head.

Angie exclaimed in surprise, "That's... Chansey's egg?"

The staff member heard An Jie's voice, smiled, and turned around, saying, "Yes."

"Can I buy it?" Anjie asked, rubbing her hands together.

He had eaten jelly eggs a few times when he was a prince, and the deliciousness of them was unforgettable.

At that time, Chansey did not inhabit the Kingdom of Azot, and due to the inconvenient transportation, it was very difficult for even royalty to eat Chansey eggs.

Even with today's convenient transportation and advanced Pokémon breeding technology, Chansey remains an extremely rare Pokémon, and its eggs are not easily seen on the market.

What a lucky day!

"Of course," the staff member replied. "What a coincidence! We just put them on the shelves and you've found them. This is a rare opportunity, so hurry and buy them!"

Anjie quickly stepped forward and said magnanimously, "How many are there? I'll take them all!"

Chansey eggs are very expensive, costing 800 Alliance Coins each; they're practically the aristocrats of eggs.

This is normal, though. Chansey's eggs are not only nutritious, but they can also restore a Pokémon's stamina and heal its injuries.

The number of these that were just put on the shelves was definitely no more than 50, so Anjie wanted to buy them all.

This opportunity won't come again!

The staff member smiled and said, "I'm sorry, sir, but we have a purchase limit of five jelly eggs per person!"

"Huh?" Anjie looked disappointed.

He has a lot of Pokémon, and he can eat them. If he only has five, he can only taste them.
