Joyful Pokémon Become Strong? Then I Won't Be a Trainer

Grandpa Qin was no longer by the rice paddy.

The midday sun was rather intense, and most people would not choose to work at this hour.

But as a Grass-type Pokémon, Snivy wore a comfortable expression when sunlight bathed its entire body.

Lin Feng took out an Energy Cube. "Come on, Snivy. Help me clear the branches and Rock Fragments from these channels with Vine Whip."

"Snivy?"

Snivy took the Energy Cube with its little hands, somewhat hesitant.

It felt like it was being ordered around, but the Energy Cube in its hands smelled far too tempting. In the end, it stuffed the cube into its mouth and began clearing the branches and Rock Fragments from the channels.

After about half an hour, when most of the debris in the Water Channel had been cleared away, Lin Feng went to the riverbank.

He lifted the wooden board blocking the water and tossed it aside, then used a hoe to tidy up the surrounding soil.

The cool stream of water rushed along the Water Channel and washed toward the Plantation.

"Thanks, Snivy. Here, have another Energy Cube as a reward~"

Lin Feng took out another Energy Cube and handed it to Snivy.

Though Snivy felt a little embarrassed, the aroma of the Energy Cube still made it unable to resist taking it and putting it into its mouth.

"Snivy..."

Oh no, it felt like it couldn't live without Energy Cubes anymore...

As it ate,

the clever Snivy began thinking about how it could stay here longer...

Spicy Noodle Soup That Increased Special Attack

"Grandpa Qin, I'll bring this little one back this afternoon..."

In front of a small Western-style house, Lin Feng stood with Snivy on his left and Sandshrew on his right as he greeted Grandpa Qin.

"Alright. By the way, Little Lin, is this Snivy your Pokémon?"

Grandpa Qin looked cheerfully at the Snivy hiding beside Lin Feng and asked curiously.

Snivy's heart immediately tightened.

It was terrified that Lin Feng would tell this human the truth. If he did, it would be utterly humiliated.

Wuwuwu...

Please don't say it...

"Yes. With such a big Plantation, I figured I had to catch a Pokémon to do the work, right?" Lin Feng replied.

"Hahaha..."

Grandpa Qin burst out laughing.

After leaving Grandpa Qin's house, Lin Feng sold another Spicy Pepper Fruit in town, making the Sandshrew that had followed him drool with envy.

Introduction: A Sandshrew that was very easy to satisfy.

"Sandshrew~"

"Don't rush. I'll make noodles for you myself in a bit."

Seeing Sandshrew stare fixedly at the Spicy Pepper Fruit, Lin Feng could not help but laugh.

"Sandshrew..."

Sandshrew nodded, unable to stop itself from rolling along the road.

This made Snivy look at it with an expression that said, "How pathetic."

How delicious could noodles made from a few Spicy Pepper Fruits be?

They could not compare to Energy Cubes.

By the time they returned to the Plantation, it was nearly noon. Lin Feng did not immediately put Sandshrew to work and instead headed to the kitchen.

Because he had lived alone for many years,

Lin Feng had long since developed excellent cooking skills, and his home was stocked with all the basic ingredients.

Now that he had acquired the knowledge of a God-tier Breeder, along with the corresponding Master-class knowledge,

even he had no idea just how delicious the food he made would be.

He set a pot on the stove and boiled water. Once it came to a boil, he added the egg noodles he had bought in town.

He scooped in some lard, letting the noodles soak up the broth, then added a few basic seasonings...

A bowl of clear noodle soup was ready.

Of course, that was only the first step.

He placed the noodles in bowls, then beat several Eggs and poured them into a pan already coated with a layer of lightly heated rapeseed oil. Once the egg had set, he quickly removed it. He diced the sliced Spicy Pepper Fruits, stir-fried them over medium heat until they became soft and pulpy, then added the egg pancake and stir-fried it together.

The golden egg pancake was immediately dyed red by the Spicy Pepper Fruits. Finally, he added a little starch slurry to thicken it before pouring it over the noodles.

The slightly thick Spicy Noodle Soup was complete!

B-rank delicacy—Spicy Noodle Soup. Though the ingredients were ordinary, the creator's near-miraculous culinary skills had turned them into an excellent dish. After all, who could refuse a bowl of sour and spicy Spicy Noodle Soup?

Cooking Effect: Special Attack Boost. After eating it, a Pokémon's Special Attack will increase by 10% for one hour. Eating it regularly can also strengthen a Pokémon's Special Attack~

"Awesome..."

Looking at the effect given by the Eye of Investigation,

Lin Feng could not help praising it.

He felt that this method was no different from how he had cooked before, yet the results were worlds apart.

"Come on..."

Lin Feng lowered his head to look at the Sandshrew that had entered long ago, preparing to serve it a bowl of Spicy Noodle Soup.

But to his surprise, besides Sandshrew, there was also a Snivy near his feet~

The liquid trickling from its slightly open mouth, along with the anticipation in its eyes, made it clear that it had been waiting for a long time too.

"You want some too?"

"Snivy!" (I do!)

There was nothing else to say.

Just one phrase—it smelled so good.

Snivy had already forgotten how it had looked down on Sandshrew moments ago.

"Alright..."

Lin Feng could not help smiling.

Though he had not seen Snivy's expression earlier, the sight of the greedy little Snivy now delighted him endlessly.

"Here."

Lin Feng divided the two bowls of noodles into three and set them in front of the two little ones.

Sandshrew could not use chopsticks. Without caring whether the noodles were hot, it simply grabbed them with its claws and ate.

The moment it took its first bite,

the scalding heat and the sweet, sour, spicy flavors exploded in its mouth, and its eyes immediately flew wide open.

Then it looked as though it wanted to bury its entire face in the noodles.

Congratulations, host. Sandshrew's Joy Value has increased from 60% to 85%. Reward: ten bags of Golden Fertilizer, one Rare Candy, 500 grams of Sand Attack.

"Snivy?"

Snivy and Lin Feng were both startled by that display.

What the heck?

Was it really that good?

Seeing Lin Feng pick up a pair of chopsticks, Snivy also used Vine Whip to pick up a pair from the table.

It realized

that after learning to pull weeds with Vine Whip, its control over the move had indeed improved considerably.

It could even use these delicate chopsticks with ease.

When it slurped a mouthful of noodles into its mouth,

Snivy's expression changed as well.

Congratulations, host. Snivy's Joy Value has increased from 15% to 35%. Reward: eight bags of Golden Fertilizer, one Rare Candy.

Lin Feng: ???
