Y/N was happy she took some of her Pokemon to help. Aside from Pachi, she also took Appletun, Gyarados, Empoleon, Dragapult, and Glaceon.
"Whoa! That's a huge gate!" Y/N said as they all arrived at a stone gate.
"Biotope 8, or The Garden, flora and fauna live freely within its walls." Johannes explained.
"The IGO researches gourmet animals' behavior and such in here" Toriko told her.
"I see" Y/N and Komatsu said.
"Gochisousama desu, Toriko-sama" the two guards at the gate greeted.
"Don't use that greeting. I haven't gotten you anything to eat" Toriko said, nobody noticing a red motorcycle standing beside a gigantic rock. Behind that rock is Tina with Kruppoh flying right next to her determined to get a scoop.
BOOM! BOOM!
"What was that?! Thunder?" Komatsu guessed as he looked up to the gray sky.
"It's drumming" Toriko stated.
"Drumming?" Komatsu repeated.
"It's an act of intimidation that's characteristic of gorillas." he responded.
"If I recall, that's a way to say, 'Get lost!'" Y/N said.
"We just got word, a Troll Kong is spotted at the gate." one of the gate guards said.
"The king of the garden is basically telling me to stay out. But never mind, open up." Toriko told the guards.
"Sorry, according to regulations, while a wild beast is within 5 kilometers of the gate, we cannot open it." The guard said.
"Man, you guys are always a pain" Toriko sighed, "So basically, it's okay as long as they're not within 5 kilometers, right? It's not a problem if they're already gone when it's opened right?" Toriko walked over to the wall and cracked his knuckles, "If they're gonna try to intimidate us from their side, we'll bring some intimidation of our own!"
'Wait, what?' Y/N thought as she and the group looked over at Toriko.
"Wh-What's he planning to do?!" Tina said while videotaping with her camcorder.
A red aura started to emit from Toriko as he roared and then rolled his right arm, and pulled it back.
"SAN REN KUGI PUNCH!" Toriko swung his arm at the wall which basically destroyed the wall, "And it's open" The group looked at the gigantic hole that Toriko made.
"Wh-what was that?" Komatsu managed to say.
"The Kugi punch! It's an attack that drives several punches in at once. The number of simultaneous punches is just like a nail being hammered in the destruction piercing through to the other side" Toriko explained.
"Wow, I wonder how strong he could be against my fighting Pokemon." Y/N wondered.
"Sorry for the intrusion" Toriko walked into the Biotope.
"W-Wait a second, please don't leave us behind!" Komatsu said as he and
Y/N quickly ran after Toriko.
-------------
Thunder roared from the stormy clouds as the duo walked across the barren place.
"Looks like rain" Toriko commented, "The rainbow tree is tall, so it'd be pretty bad news if lightning struck."
"Yeah, it would act like a lightning rod. We'd better hurry." Y/N agreed.
"R-right" Komatsu said. He watched as Toriko stopped and then jumped down to go to a lower level of land, only for the ground to crumble and letting the giant man fall into a hole that was dug out.
"Toriko-san!" Komatsu and Y/N cried out, then a gigantic green ape that had four arms that were holding large boulders jumping towards her The beast gave a roar making the chef look up to see that the ape was throwing boulders at them.
"Holy....! It makes a Slaking look like a baby!" Y/N thought!
Troll Kong (Mammal Beast) – Capture Level 9
Komatsu, Y/N and Pachi stood there in shock as the beast roared and started to charge at them, Pachi ready to attack, only to stop as Toriko had jumped out of the pitfall wielding a device that had prongs coming out of it.
"KNOCKING!" Toriko quickly plunged the device in the creatures arm and landed on the floor. The beast stood still for a couple seconds before collapsing and its tongue slobbered all over Toriko.
"Sorry, I just paralyzed it with a Knocking Gun, so he won't be able to move for a while" Toriko patted the Troll Kong on its head, "Just stay like that for awhile, and you'll be able to move soon."
"Knocking?" Y/N asked.
"The paralyzing technique used for capturing prey which stimulates nerve tissues with a needle." Komatsu explained before turning to the hunter. "Toriko-san is it really a good idea to just use Knocking on him, and not finish him off?" he watched as the Troll Kong closed its eyes to go to sleep.
"Huh? There's really no point to taking its life. My only goal is getting the Rainbow Fruit." Toriko replied.
"Eh? Well, I guess that's true, but…"
"Okay, let's go! Hey, I've got its smell all over me from when I got slobbered." Toriko said and walked ahead.
-------------
Toriko swallowed the drool that was in his mouth but didn't wipe away the droll that was already on his face as well as Komatsu.
Y/N blushed as she kept on drooling as well as Pachi, using a tissue.
"The air is getting really sweet. Does this mean we are close?" Y/N asked.
"This sweet smell, it's so amazing, that I can't even begin to describe it." Komatsu said.
"Yeah, it looks like we're getting close to the Rainbow Fruit. Rainbow Fruit is said to make animals lose all their reason and become entranced by its smell alone. The Troll Kong is carnivorous so it doesn't eat the Rainbow Fruit, but they make their nest near the tree in order to eat the animals that get drawn in by its scent." He explained.
"But you used Knocking on the Troll Kong back there, so we can just relax and just go pick the fruit, right?" Komatsu smiled.
"Ah? What're you talking about? I'd bet that guy was just a bottom- ranking reconnaissance scout for the pack."
Y/N said.
"Eh? P-Pack?" Komatsu saidsaid.
"Y/N's right. Look you can see them" Toriko said as they came to an edge of a cliff. Kimiko shouted in surprise, right in front of them were dozens of Troll Kongs a lot bigger than the one that Toriko used Knocking on a while ago. Komatsu started to tremble at the sight of them.
"Aw man. How'm I gonna deal with all these?" Toriko complained, 'I've got the scent of an underling on me. Even if I really try to intimidate them, it won't work.'
'I knew I'd need Gyarados.' Y/N thought as she grabbed a Net Ball.
"I-It's over. Right now I can see the River Styx." Komatsu muttered, and yelled when Toriko put him on his back.
"Komatsu, Put every ounce of your body and soul into holding on! Believe that you'll die if you loosen your grip for one hundredth of a second!"
"Ok, but, uh, will we be able to get out of this alive?!" he cried as he saw the Troll Kongs gave a roar before heading towards them.
"I dunno! You'd better pray!" Toriko yelled as the Troll Kongs started to attack. "Y/N hide somewhere."
"Like I'll do that. Pachi, paralyze them with Thunder Wave!" Y/N said as the squirrel jumped and unleashed electric waves at a group of Troll Kongs Knocking them out.
"Whoa! That's a really handy ability, Pachi!" Toriko said.
"Pachirisu!" The squirrel smiled.
------------
"AAAAHH!" Tina shouted in surprise, and Kruppoh inflated as they saw the sleeping Troll Kong.
"Eh, This...h-had Knocking performed on it? Wh-Why Knocking?" Tina looked over to where a dust cloud had formed.
------------
Toriko quickly ran jumping out of the reach of all of the Troll Kongs that were attacking him, while Komatsu was trying to hold on for dear life.
"KNOCKING!" Toriko yelled as he performed Knocking on one of the Troll Kongs. He quickly turned around and performed Knocking on the next Troll Kong. Toriko landed on the ground and quickly changed the battery as the two Troll Kongs fell to the ground.
"Keep using Thunder Wave Pachi! Empoleon, Dragapult, Glaceon, Appletun! We need your help too!"
Y/N said as she released her Pokemon to help.
"Appletun, Bullet Seed! Empoleon, Ice Blade! Glaceon, Swift! Dragapult, Dragon Pulse!" Y/N said as her Pokemon worked together against the Troll Kongs.
"Those guys work together pretty well." Toriko smiled.
"T-Toriko-san, is this really the time to just be Knocking them?! You could use something more lethal!" Komatsu asked.
"I told you, my only goal is getting the Rainbow Fruit. Besides, those creatures aren't killing them, just Knocking them out."
"B-But"
"And the Troll Kong's meat is sinewy and it isn't really edible." Toriko said catching Komatsu off guard. "Unless I plan to eat it, I don't take the lives of my prey. If I don't eat it, I don't kill it. If I kill it, I eat it! That's my rule."
Just as he had finished his statement, thunder roared across the sky. The falling of rain signalling the beginning of a battle.
Meanwhile, watching from a safe distance away from the Troll Kongs, Tina and Kruppoh were hiding behind a gigantic rock.
"Knocking... So his only goal is the Rainbow Fruit?" Tina smiled as she tried to focus her camera on the blue haired man," Gourmet Hunter Toriko, and the Mysterious Beast Tamer Y/N. Such a gigantic portion of greatness!"
Toriko stood in front of the Troll Kongs and readied himself. The Troll Kong gave a roar and started to send a punch at Toriko who quickly side stepped it and readied his knocking gun.
"KNOCKING!" Toriko said as he performed Knocking on four Troll Kongs, leaving another Troll Kong standing.
"These guys are clearly hierarchical. They only respond to an Alpha." Y/N said.
"Yeah. Unless we beat the boss, we'll never finish this" Toriko said.
The Troll Kong then advanced towards Toriko, Toriko quickly tried to perform Knocking only to be grabbed by his arm and turned around to see another Troll Kong. "I-It seems that the stories about their gripping power exceeding 1 ton are true!" Toriko said as the Troll King squeezed the Gourmet Kings arm.
"Toriko-san!" Komatsu cried in worry.
"Guys!" Y/N exclaimed in worry.
The Troll Kong roared, that's when Toriko released some of his intimidation making the Troll Kong release him.
"He felt my intimidation?! The rain... I get it! The rain washed away the scent of the underling. All right, this is good!" Toriko yelled as a red aura started to surround him.
"What?" Tina said as she watched the scene in front of her. The world renowned Gourmet King that was grinning as a red aura could be seen surrounding him.
"Intimidation huh? I got one more for that. Gyarados! We need your help!" Y/N released her giant sea snake Pokemon.
"What is that?!" Komatsu exclaimed.
"Oh my...!" Tina said filming the new creature that clearly stood taller than the Troll Kongs, who were frightened more by the new arrival.
"Clearly, they know not to mess with that big guy." Toriko remarked.
"Huh? My trembling, it..." In that moment, Komatsu's heart had steadied and his mind had cleared. He then spotted a white Troll Kong that was far away from the others and quickly left. "What was that just now?"
Thunder boomed as the rain kept on pouring then lightning struck the ground right between Toriko's group and the Troll Kongs causing everyone to shield their eyes from the light.
"That was close. If the lightning strikes the Rainbow Tree, it's over! We've gotta hurry and find the boss! Which one of them was scared most by the lightning just now?" Toriko looked around.
"Eh? Why" Komatsu asked as Toriko looked around.
"That one's the boss!"
"Uh, but, the boss, wouldn't he be the one who is least likely to be afraid?" That's what she would have assumed.
"It's the opposite. The most important thing for the leader to have, even more so than strength, is the ability to handle a crisis. The one who senses danger first is the most qualified to lead." Y/N explained.
"In that case, there actually was one who hid right before the lightning struck." Komatsu said.
"What?"
"The white one that's behind the rest," he pointed to the white Troll Kong.
"Him, huh? I got ya. The one that has white hair as proof of its seniority? The Silverback." The creature had the same structure as the Troll Kongs except it had long silver hair and was larger than all of the Troll Kongs.
Silverback (Mammal Beast) – Capture Level 10
"It's pretty cool of you to have noticed that." Toriko said with a smile.
"No, it's just that while I've been here, my fear somehow disappeared. I've sort of been able to calmly watch our surroundings It's kind of strange though." Komatsu said.
"Even so, that's quite a feat!" Toriko complimented, Komatsu smiled and nodded his head in agreement.
"Now then, it looks like the smell of the underling has completely washed off of me." Toriko stated as a red demon could be seen above him.
"Wait. Let me handle this." Y/N said to Toriko.
"....Alright then." He smiled.
"Okay. Gyarados, you know what to do bud." She told the giant sea snake as he nodded.
The Troll Kongs backed away from Gyarados he slithered to the Silverback. The Silverback roared at Gyarados who just glared at the creature.
Then......
The Silverback closed his eyes and bowed his head in defeat.
"She beat the Troll Kongs with that creature." Tina said in amazement.
As if sensing the end of the fight the rain had ceased and the clouds slowly parted letting sunlight to reach across the land.
"Toriko-san" Komatsu said as he spotted a large plant that had several brightly colored fruits hanging from it.
"Yeah, it's the Rainbow Fruit!" Toriko said as he ran towards the tree.
"After that downpour, they look like shinning pearls!" Y/N said with her Pokemon agreeing not noticing Tina.
"It's so pretty!" Komatsu said as he looked at the vibrant colors of the fruit.
Meanwhile, Toriko was already up the tree picking a Rainbow fruit, and then he saw the Troll Kongs that were all staring at him. As if to see that he was going to steal all of the fruits.
"Hey, don't worry, we're only taking one. I have no intention of threatening your livelihood." he informed the Troll Kongs. While he was saying that Tina took the chance to record it with her camera.
"E-Everyone, I have delicious news. The Gourmet Hunter Toriko has captured the Rainbow Fruit-" before she could finish a hand covered the camera lens. Tina looked up to see Johannes and two other men in protective suits.
"Like I said, impromptu data collecting annoys me." he took the camera away from her.
"You won't allow even one little scene?!" She yelled as the other two men grabbed her arms and picked her up.
"Get her out of here." Johannes ordered, the two guards quickly complied with the ordered and dragged Tina away while she was yelling complaints as Komatsu, Y/N, and Pachi watched.
--------------
Later that nighg
Toriko was currently chowing down on some food while wearing a formal white tuxedo with napkin draped around his neck at Komatsu's restaurant, Hotel Gourmet. If one were to think that Toriko was satisfied with only a couple plates of food, they were dead wrong. Toriko was sitting at a gigantic table where half of the table was covered with empty dishes which were currently in the process of being taken away while the other half still had food which Toriko was currently in the process of devouring.
Y/N was at a nearby table in a long black satin dress with her Pokemon having their own assortment of food, and she was happy that the room was tall enough for Gyarados. Though people were more amazed by her creatures.
Empoleon and Gyarados were feasting on fish, Pachi and Appletun shared fruits and nuts, Glaceon mostly had greens and fruits, and Dragapult had meat.
Toriko sighed and then smelled a sweet smell that made him drool. He looked to wear the smell was coming from to see Komatsu pushing a dinner cart.
"Sorry to keep you waiting, here is the Rainbow fruit!" Komatsu said as he pushed the cart towards Toriko's table and unveiled the dish, showing that it was a shining jello. The colors that were present in the Rainbow Fruit became more prominent as it was in a gelatinous form, that showcased the mixture of different colors of the fruit. The mere sight of it alone was enough to make everyone drool.
"Wow! Amazing!" Y/N said.
"What a sweet, mellow scent! Wha? The fruit juice is evaporating and forming a rainbow!" he exclaimed as a tiny rainbow was appearing above the dessert.
"I-I knew eating it that way would be delicious. We've kept the fruit's temperature at 5 degrees. And as time passes the temperature will rise and the flavor will change as well." Kimiko explained.
"Okay, here we go. I give thanks to all the ingredients in this world, Itadakimasu!" Toriko said.
'He could barely contain his excitement. Can't blame him.' Y/N thought. Even her Pokemon are swallowing their drool.
Toriko then ate rainbow fruit jello and stopped.
'Inside my mouth, the flavor has changed four times. The sugar tastes like hundreds of fully-ripe mangoes condensed into a single bite and every now and then there is a hint of sourness that is incomparable to any lemon or kiwi!' Toriko swallowed, 'A fifth one! This time it's sweet, like roasted chestnuts! It's like a department store full of flavors.' Toriko swallowed again, 'the sixth an explosive sensation passes throughout my body as I swallow. The blood coursing through my veins takes but a minute to circulate. That seems like an eternity compared to the instant satisfaction that my entire body is feeling because of this sweet flavor!'
"T-Toriko-san!?" Komatsu exclaimed as he saw tears running down Toriko's face.
"YUUUM!" Toriko cried making everyone stare at him, "The dessert has been decided! The dessert on my Lifetime Full Course Menu will be the Rainbow Fruit!"
"Alright! One spot filled, Toriko!" Y/N said.
Toriko quickly wiped away his tears, "Komatsu, gather all of the staff! We've all got to try the Rainbow Fruit together, right? It tastes better if everyone gets some! Y/N! You and your Pokemon should try some too!" The crowd of waiters all perked up at his statement.
"R-Right!" Komatsu said as all of the staff clapped.
"Amazing, so that is why he's called the Charismatic Gourmet Hunter."
Y/N said to her Pokemon as they all agreed.
----------
After the huge feast, Komatsu approached Y/N along with Toriko.
Apparently they wanted to know more about her Pokemon and she decided to let them use her Pokedex.
Komatsu started with Pachi.
'Pachirisu the Elecsquirrel Pokemon. It stores its own fur balls that crackle with static electricity together with its favorite berries in tree hollows to surprise thieves.'
'Appletun the Apple Nectar Pokemon, a possible Evolution of Applin. Eating a sweet apple caused its evolution. A nectarous scent wafts from its body, luring in the bug Pokémon it preys on. Its body is covered in sweet nectar, and the skin on its back is especially yummy. Children used to have it as a snack.'
"Really?! Itadakimasu." Toriko reached for the apple strips trying one. "Ooh, it's sweet yet tart with a hint of raw honey. Feels like it's naturally baked too!"
"Toriko-san...." Komatsu said as he continued.
'Glaceon the Fresh Snow Pokemon, and a possible Evolution of Eevee. It protects itself by freezing its fur into sharp needles. It can drop its body temperature below –75 degrees Fahrenheit.'
'Dragapult the Stealth Pokemon. When it isn't battling, it keeps Dreepy in the holes on its horns. Once a fight starts, it launches the Dreepy like supersonic missiles. Apparently the Dreepy inside Dragapult's horns eagerly look forward to being launched out at Mach speeds.'
'Empoleon the Emperor Pokemon, the Evolved form of Prinplup and the final evolved form of Piplup. The three horns that extend from its beak attest to its power. The leader has the biggest horns. It swims as fast as a jet boat and The edges of its wings are sharp enough to slice apart drifting ice.'
'Gyarados the Atrocious Pokemon and the Evolved form of Magikarp. When Magikarp evolves into Gyarados, its brain cells undergo a structural transformation. It is said that this transformation is to blame for this Pokémon's wildly violent nature. Once Gyarados goes on a rampage, its ferociously violent blood doesn't calm until it has burned everything down. There are records of this Pokémon's rampages lasting a whole month. A tale is told of a town that angered Gyarados. Before the sun rose the next day, flames utterly consumed the town, leaving not a trace behind. However, it takes a skilled but patient trainer to tame this Pokemon.
Note: This Pokemon is a Shiny.'
'Holy cheese, her Pokemon are intimidating, but strong!'
"Wait, his color is different from the picture." Toriko said.
"A rare color variation, it won't harm him." Y/N smiled.
------------
Meanwhile somewhere else
In a small shop that had the sign that said, Coco Fortune Telling a man was looking at his palm.
"Aw, I give up. What detestable luck. A man with three scars under his left eye will appear... huh? What truly unpleasant premonition." a man said as he looked at his left palm. "Huh? You will encounter a person with unique Beasts that will surprise you? A beast tamer maybe?"
------------
