Xiao Meng's house.
To catch a thief, you need to address the root cause.
"What kind of taotao fruit does it steal the most?"
"taotao fruit."
Li Wei's mind immediately pictured the pink taotao fruit, which looked very much like a peach.
"It's very soft and sweet; it likes sweet things."
Li Wei snapped his fingers, "Simple."
He directly took out a household Energy Cube maker from his backpack and made an Energy Cube using taotao fruit.
Finally, the juice of the soul was poured over it—
A very sweet Energy Cube drizzled with sweet honey.
Li Wei nodded with satisfaction, a normal standard.
Gulp~
The sound of swallowing saliva suddenly rang out.
Under the gaze of Li Wei and Lucario,
Xiao Meng Jie's face visibly flushed.
Xiao Meng Jie's ears were red as she frantically explained, "I'm sorry, but I really like sweet things!"
Li Wei and Lucario each ate one, and then Li Wei handed her another, "It's delicious, let's go."
Xiao Meng Jie's Berry fields were not far from her home, as she herself lived on the outskirts of Celestic Town, which was convenient for growing taotao fruit.
"Come out, Arcanine, Metang!"
Xiao Meng Jie blinked, "Huh, a silver Metang? Hello there, Metang, I'm Xiao Meng Jie."
"Yes, a harvest from this trip."
"Bika." Metang greeted her.
Yesterday, in the Luxury Ball, it had already met Xiao Meng Jie.
"Xiao Meng Jie, please place this Energy Cube where that Pokémon frequently appears."
"Okay."
Ding, gained Energy Cube proficiency 25 points.
?
Li Wei didn't expose Xiao Meng Jie, who was still holding the food bowl.
He was a man of pure face.
"Let's hide first."
About half an hour later, Lucario, who had been detecting with Aura, suddenly opened its eyes.
It's here.
Ding, gained Energy Cube proficiency 48 points.
"Action, surround it."
While the thief was immersed in eating an Energy Cube it had never eaten in its life, it was unaware that it had already been surrounded.
A Teddiursa, brown all over, with a yellow ring around its mouth and a crescent pattern on its head, was feasting.
The sitting Teddiursa was about 40cm tall, a very cute Pokémon.
Lucario, Arcanine, and Metang had already surrounded it, while Xiao Meng Jie's Farfetch'd was at the outermost perimeter, shaking its leek and cheering.
"Gaga!" | • ' - ' • ) و ✧
Go, Duck Duck, go, Duck Duck!
Teddiursa was completely unaware of being surrounded, sitting on the ground and licking its palms covered in sweet honey.
Teddiursa's information also appeared in Li Wei's eyes.

"Go, Metang."
Li Wei had checked Metang's strength last night.

"Confusion, don't hurt it."
Metang used Confusion to control the Teddiursa, which had no intention of resisting.
"Lucario, ask where its mother is?"
"Nah, nah."
Lucario shook its head. (It said it hasn't seen her since birth.)
Li Wei frowned, "Pokémon hunter... or?"
Unfortunately, there was no other information, so Li Wei couldn't judge.
Li Wei quickly made a decision, "Xiao Meng Jie, do you want to catch it?"
Xiao Meng Jie was stunned for a moment, blinking, "Huh, me? You don't want it?"
Li Wei shook his head, "If you don't want it, I'll take it to Jenny and then decide where to send it."
Li Wei had little interest in catching Teddiursa.
If given to Xiao Meng Jie, it could guard the Berry fields after evolving.
Though there was a fear of self-theft...
"I've decided to catch it!"
As Xiao Meng Jie threw a Poké Ball, Teddiursa turned into a red light and entered the Poké Ball.
The Poké Ball swayed left and right on the ground, and with a "thud," the Poké Ball stopped shaking.
"I caught Teddiursa!"
"Gaga!"
Ding, Side Quest (Xiao Meng Jie's Troubles) completed, reward issued.
In Li Wei's system backpack, in addition to the Diancie ite, there was also a random item lottery ticket.
"Thank you, Xiao Wei, Lucario, Arcanine, and Metang."
Li Wei waved his hand, "You're welcome, we're all family, just speak up if you need anything."
Li Wei's grandfather had raised Xiao Meng Jie as if she were his own granddaughter.
"Xiao Meng Jie, let's have dinner together tonight."
"Will it be too much trouble for Lien?"
"I'll cook. I've been learning cooking from my grandfather recently."
"Alright then, I must try it."
"Gaga!" (Lucky us!)
"Alright, I need to go back and continue practicing my knife skills."
"Be careful on your way!"
...
Early in the morning, Gengar went out and bought a large pile of vegetables.
Li Wei watched Gengar's short hands fumbling around its round belly, pulling out bag after bag...
Da da da da—
The sound of the kitchen knife hitting the cutting board was continuous.
His cooking skills were also madly +1+1.
"Some progress, I'll cut meat in two days."
It wasn't until Xiao Meng Jie arrived that Li Wei got his release.
The old man looked at Teddiursa, who was licking its paws, and nodded: "Teddiursa, Ursaring can be very good if trained properly."
Watching it lick its paws as if no one else was around,
Li Wei suddenly felt a bit regretful, "I just feel like it might not be very suitable for guarding the Berry fields."
"It's fine, just teach it."
The old man withdrew his gaze from Teddiursa.
In just this short while, the old man had already figured out how to train this Teddiursa.
Being able to act so unconcerned also requires talent.
This at least shows that it is very focused.
The old man looked at Xiao Meng Jie and instructed, "Come to me if you encounter any problems, don't be afraid to bother me.
Although I can't solve everything, it's better than you being alone and not knowing what to do."
"Yes, Lien!"
Xiao Meng Jie bowed deeply.
It was said that Li Wei would cook, but in reality, he hadn't yet received the old man's approval and could only act as a vegetable chopper.
He wasn't even as good at chopping as the Farfetch'd next to him.
Duck Duck Starfall Knife Technique, Gaga Slaughter!
Farfetch'd's leek can effectively help ingredients absorb flavor,
Li Wei was directly defeated at the starting line.
"Gaga!"
Farfetch'd's V-shaped eyebrows furrowed, and it lightly tapped Li Wei's arm.
Lucario continued to act as the translator.
What are you doing, cut seriously!
In the evening, after sending Xiao Meng Jie home, Li Wei, now free, used the random Pokémon item lottery ticket.
