Pokémon: All About the Breeding House

Chapter 338 The Christmas Party (6k)

"Who's attacking whom now?"

Fang Yan held two chicken legs in his hand, handed one to Gengar, and stood next to the vegetable seed with Gengar, asking a question.

"It looks like a battle between Gosho and Daigo."

Cai Zhong turned around, looked at the big chicken legs in Fang Yan and Gengar's hands, swallowed hard, and said.

It smells so good! I really want to eat it!

Gengar finished the chicken leg in two bites, and then stared at the big chicken leg in Fangyan's hand, just like Caizhong. Unlike Caizhong, however, Gengar drooled.

After taking a bite, Fang Yan handed the chicken leg in his hand to Gengar.

"口桀"

whee.

Gengar happily accepted the large chicken leg and began to chew it slowly.

As long as I eat fast enough, it's all mine!

Gengar felt a little proud.

Fang Yan watched the battle between Bronze Bell and Metagross on the field. He had to admit, Daigo's Shiny Metagross was really cool!

Daigo won the match, and as Wataru was about to enter the arena, Fang Yan clapped his hands, drawing everyone's attention.

"Everyone, it's getting late. I came over to ask if anyone would like to try some different food and cooking methods?"

The dialect instantly captivated everyone.

Cynthia knew that dialects could be used to make many interesting food dishes, so she was the first to raise her hand, just like a little girl facing a question from her teacher, which was quite adorable.

"Is there one Bamboo Orchid left?"

Daigo, as the second most familiar customer of the breeding center, also raised his hand.

I wonder what interesting things the shop owner with the dialect will come up with this time.

Seeing this, Xiao Zhi also raised his hand.

Shana and Tomoyo were also sitting on small stools, intently watching the match.

Finally, Daigo and Michael exchanged a glance and joined in.

"Okay, let's go to the backyard. The rest of you can go to the garden in the backyard and wait. I've set up the lights."

Everyone nodded and followed Fang Yan into the backyard.

As soon as Wusong walked into the backyard, he noticed a lot of red clods of earth next to the newly built stove.

Could it be these red clods of earth that you're referring to?

Wusong pondered.

The girls all sat down in the garden, and Miss Skirt and Roseredo served them tea and snacks. Fang Yan led Cynthia and Daigo, the boys, to the red clay blocks. Fang Yan pointed to the red clay blocks and said, "Our main purpose is to pile up these red clay blocks into a castle-like shape, then heat them with firewood until they are red-hot. We then wrap the food in tin foil, lower it over our heads, and cover it with the red-hot clay blocks. We use the heat of the clay to cook the food, which will give it an earthy aroma."

Fang Yan said with a smile, "Of course, the main thing is to pass the time and you can do it yourself."

Cynthia was deep in thought, while Mikkelsen looked somewhat helpless.

Playing in the mud is not friendly to a top-level coordination trainer; it's not proper.

It was just another symbol of propriety, and Daigo didn't see anything wrong with it; after all, digging in the mud was just like digging in rocks. He was very good at it.

They ignored the dialects and squatted down to do it themselves.

Everyone gathered around Fang Yan, watching him build a crooked fortress. Dai Wu was the first to laugh out loud, "Manager Fang Yan, it seems like there's no foundation?"

Seeing Cynthia covering her mouth and chuckling, Fang Yan snorted, "Don't laugh, you can't build anything nice either."

Daigo loosened his tie. "Then let me give it a try."

So Daigo found a place and slowly started building it up, imitating the local dialect.

The beginning was fine, but at the summit, Daigo was caught in a dilemma. In the end, he carefully placed a large rock on it, and then, it collapsed with a crash.

Daigo narrowed his eyes.

After that, he didn't say a word and started over.

Michael didn't believe it was that difficult. As a top-notch coordinator, he believed he was second to none in expressing beauty, so he gave it a try.

"What's wrong?"

Mikoli frowned as he looked at the pile of stones in front of him.

Seeing this, everyone else joined in as well.

The outcome, of course, was disastrous.

Fang Yan walked up to Cynthia and asked, "Do you need my help?"

Cynthia glanced at Lance and the others who were engrossed in their work, as well as Karen and the others who were sitting in the garden drinking tea and chatting. She hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

Fang Yan taught Cynthia how to build it step by step, and Cynthia smiled with satisfaction.

As soon as she looked up, she saw that everyone in the garden was smiling at her and Fang Yan.

Fang Yan also saw it, but he just smiled and said to Cynthia, "Why don't you go and rest in the garden for a while? I'll go to the kitchen and wrap the food they need in tin foil so they can use it later."

Cynthia nodded and quickly walked to the garden to sit down.

Fang Yan glanced at the group of people still playing in the mud. Du and Xiao Chun were together, and Fang Yan could hear Xiao Chun's complaints about Du.

"It's all your fault. I told you, you can't put it like that."

"But that's how I've seen dialects played!"

Mikuri gave up on doing it herself and came to Daigo's side to guide him, acting as the theorist, while Daigo naturally became the doer.

-

With Shana and Tomoyo by their side, it seems likely that Gosho's team will be the first to finish.

As for Ash's side—

"Ash!"

Gary couldn't help but scold Ash. All he had to do was slowly wrap it up and then seal it off, but Ash brought over a rock the size of Pikachu and placed it directly on top, causing all his efforts to be wasted.

"I didn't mean to. I thought it would be easier to handle if it was bigger, so I wouldn't have to cover it. I didn't expect it to be so fragile."

Xiao Zhi scratched his head sheepishly.

Xiaomao:————

"Useless thing."

Fang Yan felt inexplicably comfortable listening to Shinji's words.

As expected, Shinji will never be out of character.

"Shinji, would you like a match?"

Ash couldn't stand Paul's sarcasm and, clutching the Poké Ball, questioned him.

Since Shinji knew that battling was prohibited at the nursery, he completely ignored Ash and instead knelt down to personally pile up the stones.

He always felt that the store manager's arrangement was intentional.

All that was left was Ash constantly chattering on and on.

Fang Yan was very satisfied with this scene. Sure enough, no matter how old a man gets, he can never forget the memories of playing in the mud when he was a child.

What is childhood? Whose childhood is without mud?

Little king, champion, can handle even the smallest mud.

Under Miss Skirt's command, Daigo and his friends' Pokémon began decorating the backyard in preparation for their meal, while Fangyan pulled Darkrai, who had come to deliver lotus leaves and bamboo, into the kitchen to help with the work.

Darkrai: ?!

Prepare the ingredients needed for the hot pot, wrap the food that needs to be baked in the soil with tin foil, put the rice and other things into the bamboo, nail it in place, and make bamboo rice. Then, take Miss Goth and the others to the big table in the backyard.

The large table was specially made by the local dialect group. It is detachable and has several holes cut in the middle, which makes it easy for the stove to pass through the table for eating hot pot.

He first put the bamboo rice into a large vat specifically for baking bamboo rice to bake, and then placed the pots on the stove in the middle of the table.

Considering that different people have different tastes, today's soup base is specially prepared as a mushroom soup, with a spiciness level of either "fire-breathing dragon" or "firebird".

After preparing everything, Fang Yan glanced at the time and began preparing food for the Pokémon.

In the backyard, the pot was almost smoking from the heat, and one after another, fragrant dishes were being prepared. Then, the food was distributed according to each Pokémon's taste.

Along the way, Fang Yan was called over by Da Wu and the others. Looking at the "earthen fortresses" of different sizes in front of him, Fang Yan praised them a few times.

Gosho, Shana, and Tomoyo are the best-looking, Wataru and Tsubaki are decent, and as for Daigo and Michael, they are enormous.

Looking at the "earthen fortress" that was as tall as him, Fang Yan was speechless.

"Are you going to throw me in to roast?"

Fang Yan asked irritably.

Daigo and Michael stood to the side smiling, "It's quite interesting."

Meanwhile, Ash, standing nearby, wondered, "? Can we roast the dialect shopkeeper now?"

dialect:----

If someone else said this, the dialect might think it was a joke, but if a fool said it—

Could he really be taking it seriously?!

After all, if you tell someone you can make a Pulse, they might not believe you, and might even call you crazy. But if you tell Ash you can make a Pulse, he'll probably say, "Really? I knew someone could use Pokémon moves."

Fang Yan turned his attention to the "earth fortress" that Xiao Zhi and his two friends had built. Sure enough, it was small, ugly, and unstable.

Shigeru and Shinji noticed Fang Yan's gaze and scratched their heads sheepishly.

It's all Xiao Zhi's fault.

On the other hand, Xiao Zhi was scratching his head, "Hehe, how is it, store manager? Isn't it great? After all, it's the result of our joint efforts."

"If it were bigger, it would be perfect to fit Pikachu inside."

He said in a dialect.

Pikachu: ?! Pikachu?!

Xiao Zhi: "Right? I think it looks great too."

They weren't praising you at all.

After much deliberation, Fang Yan finally chose Daigo and Michael's "Earth Fortress," mainly because it was big enough.

"Nine-tailed Fox".

After putting the firewood in, Fang Yan called out "Nine-Tailed Fox".

It breathed a burst of blazing flame into it.

Before Gengar could start its combo with a furrowed brow, Fang Yan interrupted it, saying, "Gengar, it's not that we don't want you to come, but for such a large fortress, we need even hotter flames so we can make it in time for dinner."

After Gengar licked Fangyan, it forgave Fangyan.

Without looking up, Miss Gothic continued to process the drink in her hand, then skillfully used her mental power to toss a cherry into Fang Yan's mouth, which Fang Yan then chewed.

"Does the shop manager, who speaks in a local dialect, also like to use electromagnetic waves to stay alert?"

Xiao Zhi asked.

dialect:----

Everyone: ————

Just as Watari was about to say something, he remembered that the boy in front of him had taken 100,000 volts without any problem, so he thought about it and gave up.

The flames, empowered by the feathers of the Firebird and the Flame Emperor, were burning fiercely. Soon, the originally red clods of earth were turned bright red, and a unique fragrance of soil wafted through the air.

Cynthia and Karenina walked over and gathered around the "earthen fortress" that was over 1.8 meters tall.

"It smells so good."

Xia Lan said.

Everyone present nodded in agreement.

"Are we going to eat this clod of dirt later?"

Wanlong said jokingly.

Dialect: "The food is all prepared."

Xiao Gang: "I have to say, it really does have a unique fragrance."

The burnt clods of earth smelled really good; it had been a long time since I'd smelled this aroma.

For the people who originally lived on this land, this aroma evokes a strange sense of nostalgia.

After the fire inside went out, Daigo looked at Fang Yan: "Manager Fang Yan, what should we do next?"

Fang Yan asked Gengar for a large iron shovel and opened the top of the fortress. All the stones on it were smashed into the fortress, sparking a few sparks. The fortress was opened up to only waist height. Fang Yan glanced inside the fortress.

"Alright, we can put things in now. We'll just cover this part up later."

The dialect begins by putting in several marinated chickens, followed by other foods.

"Can I use an egg?"

Daigo asked.

Fang Yan nodded, "Of course."

Without saying a word, Daigo went to the kitchen, took out a basket of eggs, and, following Fangyan's instructions, covered them with mud and threw them all in.

Dialect: "Ah, no—"

Daigo placed the bamboo basket aside with satisfaction, clapped his hands, and looked at Fang Yan, "What's wrong?"

There were forty-five eggs in there!

"It's alright, Metagross and the others are here."

Daigo said with a smile.

"Can tree fruits be used?"

1

Karuni raised her hand.

"It should be possible."

Karuni nodded, then wrapped up all the tree fruits on the table and poured them in.

dialect:----

"mushroom?"

"Should that work?"

"Okay." Cattleya poured all the mushrooms in.

Du glanced at the table; there was a large pile of vegetables: eggplant, potatoes, and corn.

He thought for a moment, and if mushrooms were okay, then these should be okay too, right?

Then they poured it all in.

What followed was a whole bunch of random stuff.

"Pudding won't do, get out of here."

"And you, who puts ice cream in there like that?"

"Gengar, where did you get those two big salted fish from? They can't fit in."

"口桀"

I don't care!

"————Okay, okay, give it to me, I'll take care of it for you."

After Fang Yan put the salted fish in, he breathed a sigh of relief, only to see a scene that nearly scared him to death.

"Dali, put my rice jar down right now! That won't do! It really won't do!!!"

"Garuda, the popcorn isn't made with rice or soybeans. It's made with corn, the kind used to make soy milk and tofu!"

"Queen Bee, put down those flowers in the garden! These flowers won't produce honey if you roast them like this!!!"

"Dragonite, put the flour container down too! It'll explode!!!"

The angry roar in dialect echoed throughout the entire breeding shed.

Amidst the painful wails of Fang Yan, he successfully stopped everyone and all the Pokémon, then quickly covered the food with scalding hot stones and used a shovel to crush and compact them.

"Okay, let's eat. This will be ready in a bit."

Fang Yan quickly dragged everyone back to the table, and then skillfully put the meatballs and beef into the pot.

Once the broth boiled, its aroma filled the air, and everyone picked up their chopsticks.

Then everyone started eating in silence, and Fang Yan breathed a sigh of relief when she saw this.

"Huh? Is it over already?"

Ash brought Pikachu and a bunch of random food, and Fang Yan recognized that some of it was poisonous.

Where did you go?

Ash put down the food, then washed his hands following the prompts in the dialect, sat down at the table, and joined the group of people eating dry rice.

"Hiss—Pikachu and I went to the forest to find food. Hiss, it's so hot, so spicy, so refreshing, so delicious—but it's over now."

17

Fang Yan looked at him and suddenly laughed, "I can help open it and put Pikachu in."

Pikachu, who was eating with other Pokémon nearby, heard the dialect and glanced at the high mound of earth, giving it a startled look like Wobbuffet.

"Of course, Bogarman can go in if he wants."

Just as Piplup was about to pop the dumpling it had snatched from Pikachu's bowl into its mouth, it heard the dialect and quickly returned the dumpling to Pikachu.

"Poga Poga".

I am dead.

Then he lay back down.

Upon seeing their reaction, Fang Yan chuckled.

Looking at the crowd and Pokémon who were engrossed in their meals and had no time to talk, Fang Yan felt a surge of accomplishment.

Nothing is more fulfilling than cooking a meal that leaves everyone speechless.

This is something every chef dreams of.

Fang Yan took out all the bamboo rice and distributed it to everyone.

"So delicious!"

Wanlong added a little bamboo rice with her chopsticks and put it in her mouth. The fresh fragrance of bamboo instantly filled her entire mouth.

"Bang!"

The bowl was not broken.

Fang Yan became even more smug upon seeing this, saying, "You didn't expect that, did you? I replaced your bowl with a plastic one beforehand."

Jia Deliya tried bamboo rice.

Bang!

The bamboo exploded.

"So delicious! Sorry!"

Cattleya lowered her head and apologized softly.

Fang Yan looked at the bamboo that had fallen in front of him. What was this? Was this the legendary "explosively delicious" bamboo?

i

'

Cattleya looked up and found that everyone was eating and no one paid attention to her. She felt inexplicably down and didn't dare to eat anything else.

Just as Cynthia was about to give her her bamboo rice, she saw a brand new one placed in front of her.

"you----"

Gadriya looked at Fang Yan, who was smiling at her, and was speechless for a moment.

Cynthia smiled radiantly.

"Eat up, it's okay, there's plenty more. My greatest achievement is that you like it."

Seeing Fang Yan's sincere smile, Gadriya blushed and then lowered her head to eat.

"Thanks----"

Fang Yan sat down next to Cynthia and joined the group of people eating dry rice.

"Mr. Watari is going too far. I clearly saw it first."

"But it's in my chopsticks, isn't it?"

Du Yangyang was very proud of himself and threw the meat into his mouth right in front of Xiaozhi.

"It really tastes just like Milotic's beautiful figure."

Compared to hot pot, Mikeli seems to prefer bamboo rice and bamboo shoot family bucket.

"I was surprised to find such fresh bamboo shoots in winter, and the shopkeeper, who speaks in dialect, perfectly captured their delicate aroma. I guess I still have a lot to learn."

Xiao Gang exclaimed sincerely.

He also helped with dinner tonight and learned a lot from Fangyan, Monini, Miss Gothic, Alcremie, and Meowth.

"Xiao Gang's cooking is delicious too; he made the fish."

He said in a dialect.

"Yes, I really like the fish today, just like the perfume with its ocean scent."

Lijia breathed out a breath and said.

Thank you for liking it.

While they were discussing which dish was the best, Du and his friends on the other side were fighting over a dumpling, using every trick in the book.

Fang Yan and Cynthia sat in the middle, looking at the two completely different scenes, and laughed.

Suddenly someone touched his thigh. Fang Yan looked down and saw that it was Cynthia's hand.

Fang Yan decisively grabbed her hand, and then continued talking with Xiao Gang and the others.

Once Cattleya noticed, her powerful mental energy blasted the plastic bowl away.

Fang Yan smiled dismissively.

Ha, what a loser.

After they had almost finished eating the food on the table, Fang Yan stood up, took out a shovel, and went to the mound of earth. "Everyone, are you ready to dig up the treasure we buried?"

Everyone looked at Fang Yan expectantly. Fang Yan used a shovel to dig out all the food. Miss Goth and the others had already cleared the table, and Fang Yan placed the food on the table.

"These are eggs."

Xiao Guang opened one and found it was an egg. She peeled it and ate one.

"The taste is not bad."

Next came all sorts of food.

After everyone had a taste, they handed them all over to their own Pokémon.

Pokémon: ? ? ?

However, Dragonite, Garchomp, and Gengar seemed quite happy, while Darkrai was stuffing eggs into its cheeks until they were bulging.

"So, did the dialect shopkeeper manage to tame Darkrai?"

Daigo asked.

Fang Yan took the half-piece of salted fish that Gengar handed him, tore off a piece, and put it in his mouth. The more he chewed, the more flavorful it became.

"It's quite delicious."

Gengar, chewing on salted fish, puffed out its chest and roared, "Gengar—"

'

I told you, when it comes to food, you can't beat me.

Okay, okay, you're getting all proud of yourself.

Fang Yan shook his head. "Darkrai is a friend of the breeding center. Many of today's ingredients were brought from Ash Town by it."

Darkrai remained silent, simply continuing to eat his eggs.

One after another.

After finishing their food, everyone sat down and chatted to digest their meal. Fang Yan took out her camera.

"Everyone, shall we take a group photo?"

After finding a well-lit spot, Fang Yan set a countdown, ran over, grabbed Du and Wusong by the neck, and pulled them down to lie at the front.

Click~

A perfect photo was captured.

"We'll be going now, thank you for your hospitality."

After saying goodbye to Jia Deliya, Wanlong left.

Thank you for your hospitality.

Karuni expressed her gratitude and prepared to leave. "Champion Karuni, I also need to go to the Carlos region. Why don't we go together?"

"it is good."

After Karen and Daigo left.

Mikoli also left.

-

"I'll let you know once I've confirmed the time and place."

Next were Watari and Tsubaki, Nagisa, Rika, and Gosho.

Ash and his friends left as well.

Only Cynthia remained standing in the backyard, stroking Garchomp's dorsal fin. "I'm leaving."

"be safe."

"Um."

After everyone left, Fang Yan stretched and glanced at the backyard piled with garbage. "Everyone, let's clean up, go soak in the hot spring, and then go to sleep."

"Kou Jie—"

'

"Laji~"

"Goethe".

"Cough." ×3

"call out."

"Nini~"
