I'm in Pokémon, but the system is Stardew Valley.

The cream puff is like a little foodie, wanting to try all kinds of delicious food.

"Wait a moment, no rush."

Fang Gu took a red sauce bottle from the cabinet above the kitchen counter.

How can you eat fries without ketchup!

This jar of tomato sauce was bought by Fang Gu from Peter's grocery store; it was supposedly homemade by a farmer in the neighborhood.

That's how the Pokémon world is; no amount of technology or ruthless skills can compare to the power and wonder of Pokémon.

Therefore, most things in the Pokémon world are not high-quality products that are free of pollution and additives.

Pour the ketchup into a dish, scoop out the fries, and gently coat the golden-brown fries with a thick layer of ketchup.

Fang Gu seemed to have completed the greatest ceremony in the world.

Before Fang Gu could even utter the mysterious magic incantation, Mianmian Puff couldn't resist taking a bite of the fries dipped in ketchup.

The first flavor to burst forth is the sweet and sour taste of ketchup, a flavor that makes the cream puff irresistible!

The cream puff wobbles gently, and with each chew, a savory-sweet flavor reminiscent of French fries fills the entire mouth.

Delicious! So delicious!

The soft, fluffy puff rubbed against Fang Gu, trying to get him to feed her by acting cute.

"Delicious food should be shared with everyone."

Fang Gu brought out the fried fries and a plate of ketchup, and the aroma quickly attracted the Pokémon in the living room.

The two baby ducks couldn't contain their excitement and started devouring the fried fries without even dipping them in ketchup.

It made gurgling noises while eating.

Sure enough, even though Duckling is a waterbird Pokémon and lives in lakes most of the time, it can't resist the fries that seabird Pokémon love.

Of course, it's not just the bird Pokémon that's indulging in the deliciousness of fries; even Bulbasaur and Riolu have a particular fondness for fries dipped in sweet and sour ketchup.

Only in Mianmian Puff's heart did Fang Gu's words echo again.

Delicious food should be shared.

There are still many friends in Stardew Valley who haven't had fries yet! I'll have to deliver them to them one by one!

Under the duckling's surprised gaze, Mianmian Cream Puff lifted the bowl of fries on her head and was about to run outside.

Just then, Fang Gu, who had just finished frying a new batch of fries, came out and witnessed this scene.

"Hey! Creamy Puff, don't rush! I still have some in my pot!"

…………

In the afternoon, outside the Ancient Moon Bird Forest, Fang Gu led the members of the Star Expedition Team into an abandoned cave to take a headcount.

Before us are the Pokémon members of Team Star Expedition: Riolu, a warrior skilled in fighting techniques; three Miltank healers; and Eyjafjalla, a paladin mount capable of healing itself. These five Pokémon form the initial members of Team Star Expedition.

This time, the Star Expedition Team's mission is to familiarize themselves with the ecology and Pokémon of the first ten floors and bring back as many ores or items as possible.

It would be best if they could even bring back a basin.

Fang Gu would never want to cultivate a tree as a "scarecrow" in the pasture.

Fang Gu placed a watch on Riolu's wrist and instructed, "Come back when it's time!"

"Otherwise, you won't have any food tonight."

"I've also packed all the supplies in my little sheep mount's backpack. And if the little sheep mount's backpack is full, it'll come back too."

Fang Gu, like a parent who has sent their child on a long journey, meticulously explained everything to Riolu.

Riolu could only respond with a series of "woof" sounds.

Watching Riolu and Miltank disappear into the entrance of the abandoned cave, Fang Gu was still a little worried, but AZ comforted him from the side.

"It's okay, they'll be fine."

“I have already put the clay giants with them.”

Chapter 146 Milk Tank: Mount the Lamb, Use Grassy Grounds

The fifth level of the abandoned cave

Riolu, along with Miltank and its mount Eevee, and five other Pokémon, are exploring an abandoned cave for potential mineral deposits.

The actions of the Star Expedition Team were also observed by the Pokémon in the abandoned cave. They curiously looked at these creatures who came from outside the cave and had seen the real sky, their eyes filled with vigilance and curiosity.

Most of these Pokémon are Rock and Ground type creatures.

Among them are the Rock-type North-facing Nose Monster and Penzapek, and the Ground-type Diglett and Sandshrew.

Most of these Pokémon maintain a wait-and-see attitude towards outsiders and their Pokémon, neither taking the initiative to approach them.

It's just observing from a distance.

Meanwhile, Riolu was kicking the small stones by the roadside out of boredom. In the upper five levels, they tried to use Rollout and Rock Smash to find the gems or minerals hidden inside the stones, but unfortunately, they found nothing of value except a pile of coal.

You should know that Riolu made a vow to Fang Gu when he left.

He wants to bring back lots and lots of beautiful and rare stones that Fang Gu doesn't even recognize.

Now, all that's been dug out is coal, and it's made its face all dusty and gray, like a little dog that's been wandering around for a long time.

However, this cannot be blamed on Riolu.

The main problem is that most of the first ten floors have been thoroughly explored by passing trainers, so if you want to find ore, you can only search among those stones that no one cares about.

However, the occurrence of ore inside rocks is always a low-probability event.

Low-probability events are best achieved through numerous attempts.

Riolu is now trying to find a place where rocks gather, hoping to find the copper and iron ore it needs.

It seems like that's a pretty good place.

Leo looked into the distance and saw a pile of stones in the corner of the rock wall, which did not appear to have been mined.

"Woo!"

Riolu beckoned Miltank and its mount Eyjafjalla to follow it, while the Pokémon watching couldn't help but shrink their eyes when they saw the direction Riolu was heading.

How dare they go over there?

That's Geodude's territory, and the rocks there are their food!

In other words, that's Geodude's restaurant.

"Susu~"

"Squeak!"

The Pokémon who were watching discussed it for a while, and then quickly left like birds and beasts. Diglett and Sandshrew used the "Dig" skill to leave, and Proboscis also wobbled away. Only Pod was left.

However, its eyes were already filled with tears.

You should know that Geodude is the type of Pokémon that trainers least want to encounter in abandoned caves. Their temper is just like their stone bodies and stone heads—stinky and stubborn.

Moreover, in such dim lighting, it is difficult to distinguish between small rocks and roadside stones. There are often reports of hikers being chased down the mountain by small rocks after sitting on them to rest.

These temperamental Pokémon are the kind of Pokémon that the onlookers don't want to have any interaction with!

If they are suspected of being in league with those five Pokémon, they will inevitably be implicated.

…………

"boom!"

Riolu used the Rock Smash move to split the rock in front of it. In an instant, Riolu's keen eyes noticed the presence of reddish-brown minerals in the middle of the rock.

It's highly likely that this is the copper ore Fang Gu was looking for.

"Woo!"

Riolu let out a joyful cry, then looked around. There were many stones. If there were minerals or gems here, he would definitely receive praise from Fang Gu.

Riolu urged his teammates to come quickly and start mining together.

At the same time, Riolu had already chosen the next rock to break. This rock was brownish-brown, quite large, and had an uneven surface.

Riolu had a feeling that there was definitely a large piece of ore inside.

Large gemstones like diamonds and jade would also be nice.

As Riolu thought about it, a smile involuntarily appeared on his lips. He could already imagine Fang Gu patting his head and praising him.

"Star Expedition Team, you are so reliable!"

Fang Gu would definitely praise himself like that!

While thinking, Riolu didn't stop moving. His arm was wrapped in the light of a Fighting-type move, and he unleashed another fierce Rock Smash.

The impact struck the "rock" from above, but instead of shattering, it left a red, swollen bump.

The "rock" turned around.

It was a Geodude, its eyes bloodshot as it glared at Riolu.

It pointed to the large bump on its head, as if asking, "Did you do this?"

Riolu swallowed nervously. It had seen Geodude before; there was one in Stardew Valley Ranch, but because it had lived a leisurely life on the ranch for so long, that Geodude's head looked flat and round.

The little fist stone in front of us, whether intentionally or not, has a pointed head that looks somewhat like a cylinder, making it seem like a dangerous creature.

Moreover, after Riolu's chop, Geodude's head appeared even more prominent.

Riolu waved his hand, just about to come up with an explanation.

Then, the little fist-shaped rock in front of them roared, and many "rocks" in the pile of rocks came to life.

No, I should say she woke up.

In the blink of an eye, they were all surrounded by Geodude, including Geodude's evolved form, Graveler, which has four arms.

Oh no, we're surrounded by Geodude!

Riolu stared at the dozens of ferocious little Geodude in front of him, unsure of what to do.
