Meanwhile, on the other side...
Tire Cat turned her gaze away from the skilled blacksmith and looked at the Salt Stone Giant in front of her. At the same time, the cat humanely gave the Salt Stone Giant two choices.
"Meow (Do you want to go inside this ball, or do you want me to shove it into your mouth?)"
'
Looking at the Poké Ball in the cat's left hand and the green-glowing Energy Ball in its right, the Saltstone Giant remained silent for a second before finally...
"Give me a chance, I'll definitely do my best as a Pokémon from now on!"
"Meow (How about I put this energy ball in your mouth first, and then use it to subdue you?!)"
%———— &%&；*
While cursing the Tiree in his heart, the Saltstone Giant pressed his thick fingers onto the Poké Ball.
Duang!
Several stars appeared out of thin air above the Poké Ball, and Tirion perfectly captured the Salt Rock Giant.
Seeing this, the cat nodded in satisfaction, then immediately picked up the cleansing salt from the ground and rushed towards the cave where Xia Mu was with an excited smile.
At this time, Xia Mu and the others were still dividing the spoils.
"This is yours, this is mine, this is mine, this is mine—"
Xia Mu and Pai Pa meticulously detailed the secret seasonings and transplanted plants.
Until Tiremy took tiny steps and ran up to Natsuki with the Poké Ball in her hands.
"Meow~"
Amidst sticky meows, Tiree placed Xia Mu's right hand on its head and put the Salt Stone Giant's Poké Ball into Xia Mu's arms.
I caught a Pokémon for you, give me a pet as a reward!

'
Xia Mu and the Salt Stone Giant in the Poké Ball both fell silent.
The Saltstone Giant could not accept that the cat that had just threatened it by stepping on its head would make such a sticky sound.
Natsuki was moved by Tiremy's behavior.
Even though he only said it casually when he left Yuanmo Town, the cat remembered it and took action.
This reminded Xia Mu of how he had once told the cat that "it would be more troublesome to get food when we travel in the future," and then the cat pushed a Poké Ball containing a Snivy over the next day.
"Kitty, thank you for your hard work~"
Xia Mu hugged Tire Meow and gently stroked Tire Meow's little head.
Feeling Xia Mu's gentleness, Tirei Miao couldn't help but rub her head against the big hand.
"Meow~"
It wasn't hard work, but I was just scared by that salt stone giant!
Although Xia Mu didn't believe that her audacious and wicked little cat would be frightened by the Salt Rock Giant, she couldn't help but pat the Poké Ball in her hand when faced with the cat's cute and affectionate behavior.
"The Salt Stone Giant is bad, the Cat is good, I'll teach him a lesson for you—"
Seeing Xia Mu gently patting the Poké Ball to vent her anger, Tiremy couldn't help but rub her pink nose against Xia Mu's cheek.
"Meow (Natsuki, I love her the most!)"
Seeing this, the Salt Giant in the Poké Ball was heartbroken.
Damn it—not only is he stronger, but his personality is even more despicable than mine! How am I supposed to get revenge?!
Tears soaked the salt pile, sir, I am one of our own!
Because of the vast difference in their wickedness, Saltstone Giant abandoned his thoughts of revenge and decided to become Tire Cat's gluttonous tyrant.
Although Salt Giant has never seen it eat Groudon or Millipod, as a Pokémon whose entire body is made of salt, there are always some wild Pokémon that use various rumors to amuse themselves in order to lick their own salt.
Among them, the knowledgeable Flying-type Pokémon once told Saltstone the story of Milligan and Garuda.
The big, simple-minded giant and the small, cunning leader—the Saltstone Giant felt this lineup suited his role perfectly.
Therefore, he made up his mind in the Poké Ball.
I don't want to be bullied by Tire Meow, so—I will respect you as I respect the leader!!
Just as the Saltstone Giant was about to treat Tiremeow with the respect due to a leader, he looked up and saw a snake-like Pokémon with its arms crossed, using a vine whip to discipline its leader.
"Meow meow!"
Seeing Tire Meow nodding repeatedly with drooping ears, the Salt Stone Giant covered its head in disbelief.
"Look?"
Who is this Pokémon?!
Does my boss have an even bigger boss?!
Just as the Salt Stone Giant was falling into self-doubt, the Green Vine Snake in the cave was still angrily scolding the mischievous kitten in front of it.
"despair!"
Where did you get that salt? Adding so much salt to the dish will make it unbearably salty! Didn't I tell you not to use your creativity while I'm cooking?!
The Green Vine Snake was very angry.
This wicked little cat not only cuddles up to its trainer while the owner is cooking, but it also secretly adds salt to the soup while the owner is busy.
The more Green Vine Snake thought about it, the angrier it became.
Then, Xia Mu, who was just about to step forward to persuade the Green Vine Snake, was in big trouble.
"Um, Sister Snake—"
"despair!"
And you, don't think I didn't see you sneaking food with the hand you just used to pet the cat!
Green Vine Snake unleashed its full power, giving Xia Mu and Cat Cat, this mischievous duo who were good at causing trouble but incapable of doing anything worthwhile, a thorough scolding.
Faced with the enraged Snake Sister, Xia Mu and Maomao could only huddle together, trembling, until—
"Clang clang!"
Amidst the shouts of the skilled blacksmith who was staring at the pot with drool on his face, Green Vine Snake finally withdrew his little hands that were clasped on his hips.
"despair!"
Have a meal!
As time goes by.
The group enjoyed a delicious lunch in the cave.
Pipa tasted the dish prepared by the Green Vine Serpent, who had challenged his own culinary club. The Salt Stone Giant, who had always lived a life of hardship and eating tree fruits, was tasting food that had been carefully prepared for the first time. Meanwhile, the Rock Wall Treasure Lord, after chewing on his crab meat, raised his remaining right pincer towards the Green Vine Serpent.
"Crunch (Delicious! Speaking of which—)"
The Lord of the Rock Wall stared at his right pincer and fell into deep thought.
Or else we could also —
However, he quickly retracted his bad idea under the expectant gaze of the skilled blacksmith.
He was worried that the pink Robudon in front of him would rush up and tear him to pieces after hearing what he said.
Seeing the Rock Wall Master immediately try to hide his large pincers behind his back after thinking of something, the Skillful Blacksmith also pouted in disappointment.
"Clang! (What a pity!)"
After retracting his right hand, which was holding the sledgehammer, the skilled blacksmith glanced reluctantly at the rock wall master opposite him before continuing to feast.
In short.
Apart from three ladies—Xiaoyao, Ziyu, and Qiaoyi—who started worrying about their weight after eating, everyone enjoyed the meal.
After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Xia Mu and Pai Pa began to share information with each other.
"I remember there are treasure masters in Big Pot Lake and the desert, and others seem to be in some mine and high mountains—"
'
Listening to Xia Mu's story, Papa had no interest in where Xia Mu's information came from; he began searching according to the marks on his map.
"That's right, there are records of these places being planted by the Zero District expedition team in the past! And I've heard rumors before that residents of Ziqin Town have seen creatures they've never seen before in the desert, and that their stomping caused the earth to rumble—"
Piper became more and more excited as he thought about it. With this information, he was confident that he could definitely collect all five secret seasonings.
However, he still had some worries at this moment.
"Xia Mu, you know a lot about the secret seasoning, so do you think it can cure—"
'
"Can!"
Before Papa could finish speaking, Xia Mu nodded.
"Trust your judgment; this secret seasoning is even more potent than the resurrection plant in restoring health!"
"That's good!"
Pipa breathed a sigh of relief.
Although he didn't know why Xia Mu was so confident, he inexplicably trusted Xia Mu.
Xia Mu scouted the location himself, and then took action.
The thought of his mastiff godfather recovering his health under the effects of the five secret seasonings made Pipa's lips curl into a slight smile.
"The Godfather of the Mastiffs —"
At that moment, Miss Joy, who had overheard Xia Mu and Pipa's conversation from a short distance away, suddenly brightened up.
"Is it really even more powerful than the resurrection plant?"
"Hmph, I, Xia, am a man who used to work at a Pokémon Center. I've bought countless resurrection herbs!"
Xia Mu put his hands on his hips and revealed a smug smile.
"Once I figure out a way to cultivate the secret seasoning on a large scale, I'll be the world's biggest pharmaceutical merchant. Then, I'll have Ah Miao massage my legs and feed me! Hehehe!"
Amidst Xia Mu's smug laughter, Joey, standing not far away, paused, momentarily stunned.
"Ah, Miyabi? Natsuki? You're having Pokémon cook for you—you're that Natsuki? The one who originally agreed to stay at the Pokémon Center but then got so obsessed with Nurse Joy that he started treating it like his own home?!"
"...
'
Xia Mu was momentarily at a loss for words, unsure whether to shout "Holy crap!" or complain about his strange reputation among Joey.
However, Joey was very excited at this moment.
So this guy in front of me is one of our own!
"I used to be Joy from the Unova region too, but I was transferred to the Padilla region for work—but I often see your name in group chats!"
"What happened when she tried to buy cheap resurrection grass, but ended up accidentally taking down a gang selling fake herbs with Officer Jenny; and what happened when she harassed Joey, who was interning in Raven City, and got a beating from Tae, which resulted in Joey learning extremely skilled first aid techniques—"
As Joey recounted his story, everyone present stared at Xia Mu with shocked expressions.
No?
Was your experience at the Pokémon Center really that colorful?
Especially Papa, who was meeting Xia Mu for the first time, felt an overwhelming sense of admiration for her.
"Not only did you help Officer Jenny arrest the counterfeit drug dealer, but you also contributed to the career development of interns. You're truly amazing, Natsuki!!"
???
Xiaoyao and Ziyu tilted their heads, looking at Papa with particularly puzzled expressions.
No, you only listen to what you want to hear, right—Danyu No. 2?!
