A few days passed since getting Rainbow Fruit. Y/N was in the New garden her Pokemon made with their terraforming abilities.

Some of the baby Pokemon toddled around under her, supervised by Kangaskan, Tropius and Empoleon.

"Hey! Y/N! Whoa! Your Pokemon did quite a job here!" Toriko said as he looked over the valley.

It was now a jumbled mix of ecosystems that somehow fit for these creatures.

"Hey Toriko. Something up?"

"I'm setting out to get the Puffer Whale. You'd like to come? Komatsu's coming too. " He asked.

"Puffer Whale is a delicacy of the sea and they will be appearing after 10 years." Toriko explained.

"Sure!" Y/N said as she gathered Pokemon for the trip.

Kabutops, Noivern, Naganadel, Gardevoir and Wimpod will do!
----------------
Right now, Y/N, Pachi, Toriko and Komatsu were on a train heading for a certain place.

Toriko was drinking one bottle after another.

"Are you gonna drink the train dry?" Komatsu asked.

"It's just so good! I'm so happy! I can't stop thinking about how we'll be meeting that legendary fish soon! How about you?" Toriko asked.

"A-Absolutely! It's only once every 10 years that the Puffer Whale, the rarest of flavors in the deep seas, shows itself in shallow waters. It happens right around this time." Komatsu said in excitement.

"With its extremely delicate body, it has fatty meat similar to that of a large tuna. At the same time, it has an incredible flavor. I can't wait!" Toriko said.

"I'm just as excited just to see them myself." Y/N said as she drank a Strawberry Drinkorn Soda.

"But even more so then your desire to eat it, you're interested in the people that prepare it, right?" Toriko asked Komatsu.

Komatsu nodded. "Y-Yeah, how did you know? The reason that I came with you is so that I can check out the cooking skills of the people who prepare the meat. Removing the parts of the fish that are poisonous is really difficult. Making it a special preparation ingredient." Toriko nodded at the chef's explanation while he stuffed a sandwich in his mouth.

"Yeah, it is said that there are only about 10 people in the world who can handle it. But the person that we're going to meet with will also be preparing the meat" the statement surprised the others.

'Wow, ten people? Just who is the person?' Y/N looked over at Toriko as he took another swig of liquor.

"Hey you!" a rough voice shouted making them look up, "I thought there was more sake in this place, but you guys have ordered it all!"

The man who was yelling was wearing fur clothing with a weapon strapped to his back, he had long black hair and has really bushy eyebrows and beard. Y/N made a sour face because he looked like he did not wash or something.

"Drinking up all of my stuff, just who do you think you're dealing with?! It is I, the Gourmet Hunter Zonge-sama!" he proclaimed.

"Huh?" Toriko said as he looked at the liquor.

"Hey, hey, hey!" a man who was dressed like Zonge, who was bald and had a yellow headband and a man right next to him who was also dressed the same but was wearing a green headband and had different colored clothing.

"Look upon it and be amazed! Zonge-sama's Lifetime Full Course Menu!" the brown haired man exclaimed as the bald man pulled out a piece of paper with the menu written on it.

"The hors d'oeuvre is a Golden Salmon Roe. As for the soup, it's made from Snake Frog Livers. The fish course is Striped Salmon, and then the meat dish is Crab Pig." the bald man ranted.

'Those are everyday ingredients,' Komatsu thought as he looked at the paper.

"And for the main course we have the Galala Crocodile!!"

"I caught one recently! What do you think about that?" the man boasted.

"It was just a small one, no more than a meter long." the bald man muttered.

'I pity these two following him.' Y/N thought.

"Hey! If you don't hand over the sake, we're going to have serious trouble!" Toriko stood up making the man stop talking because Toriko was a good seven feet tall making the man a dwarf in comparison.

'This bastard's actually pretty big!' Zonge thought then Toriko patted the man's shoulder.

"Take as much sake as you'd like. My bad, Zombie" Toriko apologized.

"Oh, ok! You're lucky I'm in a forgiving mood today! It's 'Zonge' by the way" the man said and then saw Y/N who was just watching the situation.

"Hey!" Zonge called. "Would you like to come drink with me?" he asked all high and mighty.

"No." she declined, Zonge then put his hand on her shoulder making Y/N frown at the unwanted contact.

"I'm going to be the one who's going to get the Puffer Whale! I am the great Gourmet Hunter Zonge! Are you sure you don't want to accompany me?" he asked again.

"I said no, now leave." Y/N said frowning, starting to get uncomfortable with the man's hand on her shoulder.

Pachi swatted his hand away with her tail, snarling.

"HEY Y-" Zonge was cut off when he felt a hand on his shoulder. He looked behind to see Toriko with his bangs overshadowing his eyes.

"She said she's not interested, now take your sake and leave." Toriko said with a cold voice. Not needing to be told twice Zonge and his subordinates quickly got their sake and left.

"Thanks Toriko." Y/N smiled at Toriko who then looked at Y/N and grinned completely dissipating the tense environment that he had created.

Unknown to Y/N he was fighting a blush.

"Those guys are nuts." Komatsu muttered.

"No problem, They're sizing everyone up" he told Komatsu and Y/N as he sat back down.

"Huh?"

"The rest of the people on the train are Hunters, all with their sights set on the Puffer Whale" he took a swig of sake," There's a good chance that we'll all be competing with each other once we're at the cave to hunt. If a situation arises here, everyone else will be intimidated."

"Then why did you give them the alcohol?" Y/N asked as she pet Pachi.

"Even if people will be competing with one another, it is good to let them become acquainted and stir up some common-empathy. We need to look out for each other. There are some things that we just can't do by ourselves." Toriko explained.

"Then why were you acting so cold to Zombe when he was talking to Y/N." Komatsu asked making Toriko turn to raise his eyebrow at her statement.

"Because I was told when a woman says no she means no." he said.

"Umm" an old man with pompadour hairstyle said getting their attention.

"Could I have some sake?" he asked.

"Sure" Toriko gestured to all of the bottles on the table " take as much as you like."

"Here you go." Y/N handed the old man some sake bottles.

"Thank you very much. I will pay back the debt someday." the man hiccupped grabbing a hold of the bottles and hiccupped again.

'Should he be drinking so much?' Komatsu thought.

----------------
Once the train stopped, Toriko got off with Komatsu, Y/N and Pachi following right behind him. Y/N raised an eyebrow as noticed there wasn't a single person around.

"Why isn't there anyone around?" She asked.

"There should be beasts roaming around freely at the moment." Toriko said.

"What?" Komatsu said.

"Fortune tellers have predicted that the city would be invaded by wild beasts. While that's happening, all the people hide in their homes." Toriko explained.

"Speaking of which, the fortune teller is the same one who foretold when the Puffer Whales would come back." Komatsu said while looking around.

STOMP! STOMP!

Y/N and Komatsu jumped at the loud sounds.

STOMP! STOMP!

Toriko smirked. A gigantic dragon-like beast that was the size of one of the three story buildings roared as it walked into the open street.

Kuendon (Pterosaur Beast) - Capture Level 10

"You can't eat boiled nor cooked. A Kuendon." Toriko said as he saw a lone figure casually strolling in the street.

A man walking down the street was wearing an all-black suit with green bands wrapping around it at the wrists, elbows, waist, neck and an additional one on top of his head, with a beige cloak. The Kuendon took notice of the man that was heading towards them and reared itself back to charge at the figure.

"Watch out!" Komatsu yelled. The beast stopped right before the man, pausing as the man continued to walk by the Kuendon. The Kuendon then turned and went the other direction. The man in turn stopped his stroll in order to look up at Toriko and his group.

"Just as I predicted, an unpleasant guest has arrived." he smiled letting
Y/N get a good look at his face. The man was completely calm and collected. Like a gentleman.

"I'm glad that we ran into you here. Nothing less could be expected from the gentleman of the Four Heavenly Kings, Coco!" Toriko said.

"The Heavenly Gluttonous King, Toriko!" Coco said, "It's been a while, Toriko."

"So this the person you wanted to meet, Toriko-san?" Komatsu said "The Heavenly King Coco!"

'Heavenly King? Is that an exclusive title?' Y/N thought as they headed out to Coco's home.

As Komatsu introduced himself, Coco looked over to Y/N.

"My apologies, but I did not get your name."

"Ah, sorry. I'm Y/N, and this is Pachi. She's a Pachirisu. " Y/N smiled.

"Pachi Pachirisu!"

"Its nice to meet you two. We've just about reached my home." Coco informed the two as they were walking in a valley, Komatsu and Y/N following the two Kings as they led the way. Y/N had kept up with the duo as Komatsu was getting tired.

"Coco-san if you don't mind my asking. Why are you living in the town of divination, telling gourmet food fortunes?" Komatsu asked

"Well, I'm a fortuneteller by trade." He answered.

"A Heavenly King as a fortuneteller?" Y/N wondered.

"Yeah." Toriko said, " How is Zebra doing?"

"He got caught, you know. He's in the Gourmet Prison." Coco answered.

"So they finally caught that problem child?" Toriko laughed, "That sure brings back memories. Learning together in the garden, the four of us enveloped in a deadly struggle."

"Stories of days gone by" Coco said making Y/N wonder, Who's Zebra? Is he a Heavenly King too?

Then Y/N saw a shadow over her, she looked towards to sky to see a gigantic bird flying towards them.

"A crow monster?!" Komatsu yelped as she looked at the large crow that could easily be the size of a house.

"So you came to greet us, did you, Kiss?" Coco said.

"Oh, it's the ruler of the skies, the Emperor Crow. I thought it was extinct" Toriko said.

Emperor Crow "Kiss" (Bird Beast) – Capture Level Unknown

"His name is Kiss, and he's part of my family" Coco said. "Can you carry 4 people?" Coco asked. Kiss cawed saying it was okay.

"Oh, no need. I have my ways." Y/N said taking out a Pokeball, confusing Coco.

"Come out Noivern!" Y/N said as her bat dragon Pokemon came out and unlike most Noivern she was easily Toriko's size.

"What is that?!" Komatsu exclaimed.

"This is Noivern, another member of my family." Y/N said as Komatsu took out the Pokedex.

'Noivern, the Sonic Wave Pokemon and the Evolved form of Noibat. They fly around on moonless nights and attack careless prey. Nothing can beat them in a battle in the dark. The ultrasonic waves it emits from its ears can reduce a large boulder to pebbles. It swoops out of the dark to attack. Although it has a violent disposition, if you give it a nice ripe fruit that it loves, Noivern will become tame.'

"That's pretty impressive, you did that to tame her?" Toriko asked as Y/N got on his back.

"No, I raised her from a Noibat." Y/N said before turning to Coco. "Just lead the way."

--------------

At Coco's house, Noivern and the other Pokemon was outside with Kiss, eating some berries aside from Pachi who was eating with Y/N and the others.

"I think the Rainbow Fruit is a good choice for the dessert. It's just as I saw it in my premonition" Coco said as he prepared the tea while Toriko was devouring the food, "Hey do you think you could be a little more refined? There is a lady present" the comment made Toriko stop stuffing his face and look at Coco.

"How are things going with you? Did you finish your Lifetime Full Course Menu?" Toriko asked before gulping down his drink.

"Ah, my menu. The soup is made from the tears of a Lee Dragon. Then there is Breo Swordfish Steak, and so on. I want to put together a menu with a fine balance of nutrition. I haven't yet decided upon the hors d'oeuvre, the main course, or the drinks." Coco said as he took a sip of his tea.

"Every ingredient has a high capture level. You can't even put a price on them." Komatsu said in amazement.

"But that's now what you came here to discuss with me, is it?" the statement got the group's attention. "Actually you came here with a request, for me to help you capture the Puffer Whale" he took another sip of tea, "Right?"

"Getting right down to business, huh?" Toriko said.

"It's a difficult task. The Puffer Whale's poison is so deadly that if you took in as little as .2 milligrams, you would die." Coco explained.

"Yikes. Their that deadly?" Y/N asked.

"Pachi?" Pachirisu stopped eating.

"If you puncture a poisonous gland the meat will be exposed to the toxins, and you won't be able to eat any of it. That's why it's so difficult to prepare. The meat has become poisoned oftentimes in the past and been acquired on the black market."

"Anyway, the fact that people eat it despite knowing that it might kill them means that it must be that good!" Toriko exclaimed.

"My chances of successfully capturing one and then being able to remove the poison glands are only 10%. Basically 1 out of 10." Coco stated

"Those odds are good enough for me, if I were the one doing it, we wouldn't succeed even once." Toriko said before stuffing his face with food.

"And there's some bad news. The Puffer Whale lays its eggs at a depth of 800 meters; they are concealed deep within a labyrinthine, beast-filled cave. But the most dangerous beast is that demonic beast, straight out of Hell, the Devil Snake." Coco continued.

"Devil Snake?" Y/N whispered.

"Yes. The Battle Wolf, praised as the strongest creature since ancient times, is said to be on par with its ferocity." Toriko laughed at Coco's statement.

"Yeah, I can see why it might be dangerous, have you had any premonitions about us? Can you really see the shadow of death?" Coco stared at the two and smiled.

"How long has it been since I have done the work of a Bishokuya?" Coco said.

"Does that mean?" Y/N said hopefully.

"I guess I'll join you." Coco answered.

"I expected no less, Coco!" Toriko exclaimed.

"And we can have Noivern help. She can handle the darkness of the caves." Y/N suggested.

"We did it Toriko-san, Y/N-san!" Komatsu said as Coco got out of his seat.

"As a reward, how about a lifetime of free food at the Hotel Gourmet's restaurant?" Toriko asked.

"Toriko! You can't just decide that! Especially with all the food you eat! Komatsu's not the owner and the hotel would go bankrupt!" Y/N scolded.

"Did you really have to bring the restaurant into this?" Komatsu agreed.

Coco looked at Komatsu and Y/N.

'The shadow of death, this could be bad. I can see it clearly on the boy, but I barely see it on the girl. But either way, they are in danger.'
