Chapter 184 Wants to Learn a Few Fighting Techniques

On the Tianxi side.

After it fell asleep, wisps of pink smoke once again drifted from Dream Eater's body in the darkness.

The smoke gradually filled the entire room, and was then absorbed into the bodies of Diancie, the Orb-weaver, and Mare the Sheep with their breathing.

When Diancie came to her senses, she found herself back in the courtyard of Mare the sheep's dream.

"Kumo~"

"Kumo~"

The two round silk spiders let out a cry.

Upon hearing this, Tianxi bent down and picked them up. When she returned to the place, she was no longer as bewildered as she had been the first time.

After wandering around the courtyard without seeing Mare the sheep, Diancie went to Mare the sheep's hut.

Sure enough, on the grass in front of the cottage, it saw Mare the sheep sitting on a stool. There was a drawing board in front of Mare the sheep, and it was holding paintbrushes and paints in its hands, obviously painting.

Diancie and the Orb-weaver did not disturb Mare the sheep, but quietly walked to its side. They saw a half-finished landscape painting on the easel in front of Mare the sheep.

Sheep was so engrossed in drawing that he was completely unaware of the arrival of Angel and the Orb-weaver Spider.

After an unknown amount of time, Mare the sheep finally finished the painting. It put down its brush and paint, and turned around to see Diancie and the Orb Spider standing behind it.

"Meow~~"

Mare the sheep looked delighted and buried its head in Diancie's arms.

"Mary sheep, we're here again!" Diancie said, gently stroking Mare sheep.

"Meow~ Meow~"

Mare was overjoyed and kept licking Diancie's cheeks with her tongue.

Diancie held it and looked at the painting, a landscape of sunrise and sea of ​​clouds. Diancie asked:

"Is this a new painting technique you've learned? I didn't see anything like it last time I came."

"Meow~ Meow~" I learned it from the lessons you and Anjie bought for me!

"Merry Sheep said happily."

"You learned it so quickly?" Tianxi exclaimed in surprise.

"Meow~ Meow~"

Mare the sheep nodded vigorously, then jumped off Diancie's arms onto the grass and tugged at Diancie's hand with its mouth.

"What's wrong?" Tianxi asked.

"Meow~ Meow~"

Mare the sheep lifted its foot toward the wooden house and gestured for Diancie and the Orb-weaver to follow.

Upon entering the house, Tianxi was surprised to see many giant portraits displayed inside.

The first picture shows Anjay lying on a deck chair, sitting leisurely by the door, with Snorlax and Babubo on either side of his legs, looking half asleep.

The second image depicts a Thousand-Faced Beast holding a flower, striking a cool pose.

The third picture shows Gengar shyly peeking out from behind a door frame.

The fourth picture shows Throwing Monkey, Tree Pillow Koala, and Infernape enjoying wine, while Night Demon and Potpots are playing nearby.

The fifth image shows Metagross teaching Godora and Gopher.

The sixth picture shows Magiana and Porcanion strolling through a field of flowers.

The last image depicts Diancie sitting on the steps of her house, knitting. Beside her lies a sleepy Mare, and on Mare's back lie two obedient silk spiders.

Diancie asked in surprise, "Mary sheep, did you draw all of these?"

"Meow~ Meow~"

Mare the sheep nodded, then walked proudly to the images, like a king inspecting his territory.

This lively, confident, and adorable sheep is completely different from the real-life sheep.

Diancie silently admired the paintings before her, her delight evident. She couldn't help but murmur to herself:

"I wish you could draw all of these in real life as well."

Mare the sheep twitched its ears, then lowered its head, seemingly lost in thought.

After playing with Mare the sheep's toys inside for a while, Diancie and the Orb-weaver accompanied it to the grass outside to practice its skills.

Because they were bored, Diancie and the Orb-weaver decided to practice with Mare the Sheep.

The night passed in the blink of an eye, and dawn arrived amidst the chirping of rocket finches and blue-winged birds. Anjie groggily opened his eyes.

After getting up and washing up, his mind finally cleared up.

"Time to go to work today, good luck!"

Anjie remembered that he had promised to help Ayaka explore the ruins.

But he just got back, so resting at home for a couple of days shouldn't cause any problems, right?

Thinking this, Anjie walked out of the room with a relaxed mood, humming a cheerful little tune. As soon as he stepped out, he bumped into Tianxi.

Good morning, Diancie!

Good morning, Anjie!

The person and their Pokémon said in unison, then each chuckled.

After laughing, Angie said, "By the way, Tianxi, I have something for you."

"What is it?" Tianxi asked in confusion.

"Look!" Anjie said, taking out the super pendant she had obtained last night.

"Wow, it's so beautiful!" Diancie exclaimed in surprise. "Is it for me?"

Anjie nodded and said, "That's right, it's for you. You can embed your Mega Stone into it."

Diancie nodded and took the Mega Stone out of her backpack.

Anjie took the Mega Stone from its hand and pressed it into the frame on the pendant. To his surprise, it fit perfectly.

"It's all set up! I didn't expect it to fit so well!" Angie said in a surprised tone. "Here, Diancie, let me put it on you."

"Hmm~" Tianxi nodded and turned her back to Anjie.

After Ange put the pendant on Diancie, Diancie happily touched the Mega Stone on it and said in a cheerful mood:

"Let's go down!"

"it is good."

The two walked side by side downstairs, one with a Pokémon.

Just then, Magiana came out of the room, and Ange and Tianxi greeted her with smiles.

Good morning, Magiana!

Good morning, Magiana!

Magiana smiled and said, "Du~ki~du~" Good morning, Ange, Diancie!

At this moment, Magiana keenly noticed that Diancie was different this morning, and then saw the pendant around its neck, so she asked:

"du~ki~du~" What is this?

Diancie chuckled and took Magearna's arm, then whispered something in Magearna's ear. The two Pokémon chatted and laughed as they went downstairs.

Once downstairs, after making some preparations with the Thousand Faces, Anjai took the two Psychic Meowths and Ralts and headed to the royal city.

Early in the morning, guests had already arrived at Snorlax's house, and the two Psychic Meowths and Ralts quickly went to greet them.

Upon seeing the female Meowth, the guest exclaimed in surprise, "Wow, Meowth has evolved?"

"Meow~ Meow~" The female super-powered cat nodded with a smile.

"That's truly a cause for celebration!" the guest sincerely expressed his congratulations.

The Super Meow Meow greeted the customer with a smile and welcomed him into the store. After asking him to sit down, it took out the menu and handed it to him.

"We're here early today, you should have tofu pudding, right?" a customer asked, looking at the menu.

The tofu pudding at Munchlax House is in limited supply, and you usually can't get any if you arrive late.

"Meow~ Meow~" Yes, yes.

Super Meow Meow nodded with a smile.

"Then I'll have a serving of tofu pudding, a steamed bun, and two meat buns." The customer's face lit up with joy.

"Meow~" Okay, please wait a moment.

With that, Super Meow Meow grabbed the menu and ran into the kitchen.

Before long, the Super Cat brought over the customer's order, and the customer immediately picked up the tofu pudding they had been longing for and began to enjoy it.

The customer paused for a moment upon tasting the tofu pudding, then smiled and asked Super Meow Meow:

"Is the young boss back?"

"Meow~ Meow~" Super Meow Meow nodded with its eyes narrowed.

The customer's face lit up with understanding. "I knew it. I can tell the difference in the young boss's cooking skills just by tasting it."

Anjie's food is processed using waveguide technology, making it easily distinguishable from the food made by the Thousand-Faced Beast.

As more and more customers entered the store, news of Anjie's return gradually spread. Upon hearing the news, customers ordered several more dishes than usual, and the store's business improved by 10-20% compared to normal.

"Ha~~ The boss's cooking is really good!" one of the customers said with a look of admiration after taking a big bite of the meat bun in his hand.

Just then, Ralts, using her psychic powers, passed by him carrying a large plate of steamed buns and mantou. The customer chuckled and patted Ralts' mushroom-shaped head, asking:

"Ralts, Meowth has already evolved, when are you going to evolve?"

"Russ~Russ~"

Ralts shook her head blankly.

Its adorable appearance made everyone laugh, and the guest patted its mushroom head again, saying, "It's okay, Ralts is cute enough as long as it doesn't evolve."

"That's right, that's right, Ralts is the cutest!"

"Ralts is our Snorlax's mascot!"

The other guests all praised Ralts.

Praised by the guests, Ralts worked even harder.

A customer jokingly asked, "Isn't the signboard for our Munchlax House Munchlax?"

Other customers commented, "Snorlax doesn't come often; it just fills in for the little boss occasionally."

Another customer joked, "If you ask me, the real star of our Snorlax House should be our little boss!"

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Everyone agreed with this, and the whole store was filled with laughter. Even the two Meowths and Ralts laughed along.

When the King of the West entered the store, this was the lively scene he saw.

Upon seeing a guest enter, Ralts quickly went forward to greet them.

"Russ~Russ~"

When Ralts approached King Shiba, a hint of fear flashed in his eyes.

The guest in front of him was a full 2 ​​meters tall. He was wearing only a blue short-sleeved shirt that exposed his chest and loose trousers. His bulging muscles were as hard as rocks, and just looking at him made people feel very intimidated.

Shiba noticed Ralts's subtle expression, and his gaze darkened.

Despite her fear, Ralts mustered her courage and led the guests to their seats.

"Russ~Russ~"

Ralts obediently presented the menu.

"Thank you," King Shiba said in a deep voice.

He looked around the menu and found that none of the dishes were familiar to him, so he said to Ralts:

"Please give me one of each kind."

"Ruth?" All of them?

Ralts looked surprised.

Elite Four member Shiba immediately saw through Ralts's thoughts, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I can finish it."

Ralts can sense the emotions of those around it, and Elite Four member Shiba's gentle attitude made it realize that the person in front of it was not a bad person, and the fear in its eyes gradually disappeared.

"Russ~Russ~"

It nodded, grabbed the menu, and quickly ran into the kitchen.

When Anjie heard that a customer wanted to order one of everything on the menu, he was also surprised, but he still quickly prepared the food for the customer.

Before long, Ralts used its psychic powers to carry a huge pile of food onto Elite Four member Shiba's table, and the customers in the shop were all surprised by this exaggerated scene.

However, someone seemed to recognize Shiba's identity.

"That... seems to be Mr. Shiba, the fighting king of the Kanto region."

"Huh? Our Snorlax House is that famous now? Even the Elite Four members from the Kanto region have come here?"

"Isn't it expected that the young boss's cooking is so delicious?"

"That's true."

"Don't overthink it. Perhaps the Heavenly King Shiba is just passing through!"

……

Although everyone recognized Shiba's identity, his terrifying aura made people afraid to approach him, let alone strike up a conversation.

At this moment, Shiba had already grabbed a steamed bun and stuffed it into his mouth. The soft and fluffy texture of the bun instantly amazed him.

After eating a steamed bun in a few bites, King Shiba grabbed another bun and stuffed it into his mouth.

He was amazed once again.

good to eat!too delicious!

Moreover, the moment he ate the food, he felt a surge of energy within his body, which was then quickly absorbed.

Although the feeling was faint, he definitely sensed it!

What kind of magical food is this? I wish I could eat it every day! If he could eat it every day, he firmly believed that his physical fitness would become stronger and his fighting skills would improve by leaps and bounds!

King Shiba ordered so much food that Ralts had to make several trips to serve it all.

Even so, he ate all the food on the table in no time.

"Give me another one exactly the same!" King Shiba said, patting his belly.

ヽ(°〇°) "Russ~" Want more?

Ralts was stunned.

Knowing his appetite was excessive, the King of Shiba repeated, "Please give me another one of the exact same thing."

"Russ~ Russ~" Ralts rushed into the kitchen upon hearing this.

Anjie was truly surprised when she learned that the guest wanted more food.

"You've already eaten so much, do you want more?"

"Russ~Russ~" Ralts nodded repeatedly.

"Alright then." With that, Anjie and the Thousand-Faced Beast began preparing for the guest again.

Soon the table in front of King Shiba was filled again.

By the time Shiba King finished eating, the customers had gradually left the store. Since it was almost closing time, Super Meow Meow hung up a "Closed" sign at the door.

As things calmed down, Anjie peeked out from the kitchen, wanting to see who could eat so much.

You wouldn't believe it until you see it! It's King Shiba! No wonder he eats so much!

Seeing that King Shiba was enjoying his meal without any distractions, Anjie suddenly had a brilliant idea.

He walked out of the kitchen and went straight to the side of King Shiba.

"King Shiba, do you like the food at our restaurant?"

This is obviously obvious. How could someone who doesn't like food finish two large tables full of food?

Upon hearing this, the Heavenly King of Shiba looked up in surprise, "You're the chef at this restaurant?"

Shiba wasn't surprised that Anja knew him; after all, he was a League King, so it was perfectly normal for someone to recognize him.

Anjie nodded and said, "That's right, I'm the owner and chef of this restaurant."

"Boss? Are you His Highness Prince Anjie?" King Shiba asked in surprise.

Anjie was taken aback upon hearing this, "King Shiba... knows me."

Shiba nodded. "His Majesty Edward recommended me to come here. I heard about His Highness from His Majesty."

It turns out that Elite Four member Shiba came to the Kingdom of Azot on official business. During his casual conversation with Edward, he learned about the existence of Snorlax's house, which is why he came to see it.

Unexpectedly, this place turned out to be a pleasant surprise for him.

"I see!" Anjie suddenly realized.

The King of Shiba exclaimed with admiration, "Your Highness's culinary skills are far more impressive than I imagined."

"It's my honor that King Shiba likes it," Anjie said with a smile.

King Shiba said, "I like it, I like it very much."

Upon seeing this, Anjie extended an invitation to him, "If King Shiba would like to taste more of my cooking, you are welcome to visit my home sometime."

His reason for inviting King Shiba was simple: he wanted to learn some fighting techniques from him.

He has such a powerful physique; wouldn't it be a waste not to make good use of it?

If he hadn't seen the King of the West, he wouldn't have remembered this incident.

Shiba is hailed as a humanoid fighting Pokémon and a master of the fighting world. If he doesn't seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, he would be letting Arceus down by presenting it to him!

"Your Highness's residence?"

Anjie's proposal greatly appealed to the King of Shiba.

Anjie said, "That's right, my home is on the Nibel Plateau outside the royal city. King Shiba can also take a look at the scenery there. You definitely won't be disappointed!"

After a moment of contemplation, King Shiba accepted Anjie's invitation.

"In that case, I'll definitely bother you when I have time!"

Upon hearing this, Anjie was overjoyed. "Then I will wait for King Shiba on the Nibel Plateau."

Shiba nodded. "Okay!"

"Oh, right!" Anjie added, "Let's exchange contact information. King Shiba can call me before he arrives so I can prepare in advance."

"good!"

As he spoke, King Shiba took out his phone and exchanged contact information with Anjie.

After King Shiba finished eating, the two chatted for a while, after which King Shiba left, while Anjie closed the shop and returned to the Nibel Plateau.

Because of meeting the Heavenly King Shiba, Anjie was in a very good mood, and he hummed a little tune all the way home.

When he got home, Munchlax was already preparing lunch in the kitchen. Anjay wanted to help, but his apprentice pushed him out.

Master had worked hard all morning, and Munchlax wanted Master to get some rest.

With nothing to do, Anjie sat at the table, pondering when to keep his appointment with Ayaka.

Coincidentally, at that moment, Ayaka suddenly called to tell Anjie that their appointment would be postponed for a while because she had something urgent to deal with.

Okay, that way we don't need to worry about it anymore. Anyway, the ruins are there and won't disappear.
