Chapter 106 Everyone

Before long, Anjai brought Bubo to the entrance of Munchlax's house.

"This is our home!" Anjie said to Bubo.

As he spoke, he took out a Poké Ball and released Metagross.

"Metamorphoses, we're home."

"Meta~~" Metagross also looked at the house in front of it with curiosity.

"Bu~Bu~"

Bubo jumped out of Ange's hood and landed lightly on Metagross's head. Then it tugged at Ange's sleeve, urging him to go inside quickly, as it couldn't wait to see what its new home was like.

"Okay, okay, I'll open the door right away." With that, Anjie took out his key and opened the door.

It's afternoon, and there are no guests at Munchlax's house; it's very quiet.

The shop was spotless, almost without a speck of dust, and the tables and chairs were arranged neatly.

"Cloth~~"

Bubo jumped off the Megalodon and ran around the house with great curiosity, occasionally jumping mischievously onto the table and leaving his little footprints on it.

"Bud, if you keep doing this, the Meowth will get angry!" Angie said deliberately with a stern face.

"Bu~Bu~~"

Upon hearing this, Bubo immediately ran over with a fawning expression and asked who Meowth was.

Anjie replied, "Super Meow Meow is one of the partners of the Nibel Plateau and also a waiter at this store. I'll introduce you to him later."

"Cloth~"

Bubo nodded and jumped back onto Metagross's head.

As Anjie led the two Pokémon inside, he said with satisfaction, "It seems that Munchlax and the others have run the shop quite well."

However, at that moment, he sensed something was wrong. Why was he able to sense the aura of a Pokémon in the corner of the wall?

"Who's there?" Angie asked, looking into the corner.

Buppus and Metagross also looked in that direction, but no Pokémon made a sound, and the store suddenly fell silent.

"Who's there?" Angie asked again.

It was still quiet.

So Anjie quietly walked towards the corner, but when she got there, she still didn't see anything.

Strange! He couldn't possibly have misjudged!

"Meta~~"

Suddenly Metagross let out a cry, its eyes emitting a purple light that represented powerful psychic abilities, and a Gastly was pulled out of the wall.

"Gauss~ Gauss~"

Gastly struggled desperately, but its strength was simply insufficient to break free from Metagross's mental restraints.

Anjie sized up Gastly for a few moments, then exclaimed in surprise, "It's you!"

He discovered that this Gastly was shiny, and he only knew of one shiny Gastly before, the one that had been hunted by Doka and Otsuka.

"Gauss~ Gauss~"

Seeing that Ange recognized him, Gastly nodded repeatedly.

Ange then said, "Metamorphoses, release Gastly."

"Meta~"

Metagross nodded and released the mental force binding Gastly. Gastly, now free, gasped for breath, quite frightened.

Angie asked, "Ghost, have you been staying at my house the whole time?"

"Gauss~"

Gastly nodded.

Anjie then asked, "How long have you been here?"

"Gauss~ Gauss~"

Gastly started counting on its fingers, but after only a few counts, its head became dizzy.

Seeing its dizzy state, Anjie laughed and said, "Alright, alright, stop counting." It didn't seem to be anything particularly important.

Anjie then asked, "You've been staying at my house all this time. What are your plans for the future?"

Gastly shook its head in confusion. It felt that staying at the Snorlax House was just fine. It didn't have to worry about the sun or rain, and it could pick up leftover buns and steamed bread every day. No one would come to catch it. It was peaceful and safe.

"Okay." Anjie nodded. "You can take your time to think about it, and tell me when you've made up your mind."

Gastly nodded slightly, then disappeared back into the wall.

After Ghoststone disappeared, Ange said to Bomb and Metagross, "Let's go."

"Cloth~"

"Meta~"

After the two Pokémon responded, they followed Angel up to the third floor and then returned to their home on the Nibel Plateau through a spatial portal.

After Anjie and the others left, Gastly quietly emerged from the wall, took a small rag, and cleaned up the footprints left by the rag.

Seeing the table shine brightly again, Gastly grinned and then contentedly returned to the shadows of the wall.

On Anjie's side.

Emerging from the room, Ange said to Bup and Metagross, "Bup, Metagross, this is our real home! You'll be living here from now on!"

The two Pokémon kept looking around the house, while Plume was carried around the house by Metagross.

At this moment, Robert 2 sensed the Metagross and automatically came to the Metagross's side.

Anjay looked around the house but didn't see Snorlax, Lizard, or Diancie, so she said, "Looks like nobody's home!"

After saying that, he beckoned to Bubo and Megalodon, saying, "Come on, I'll take you outside to have a look."

"Cloth~~"

Bup jumped down from Metagross's head with glee and ran out with anticipation in his eyes, followed closely by Metagross and the Robert 2 it controlled.

When Anjie got downstairs, she noticed that there were some different things on the front desk and tables in the store. There was a white mat with a Snorlax pattern on it under the vase on the front desk.

Several similar cushions appeared on the table, but each had a different pattern: some had a tree-pillow bear, some had a chameleon, and one had a small, blurry-faced person.

Anjie thought to herself: Could it be me?

He couldn't help but wonder, could this have been bought by Diancie?

Without giving it much thought, Ange continued walking outside with the two Pokémon. When he reached the door, he realized that Diancie was already home.

At this moment, Diancie was sitting on the steps by the door, weaving something with two needles in her hands, and two round silk spiders were lying next to her. The silk that Diancie used for weaving all came from these two round silk spiders.

Importantly, the needles used by Diancie are made of diamonds.

At this moment, Anjie finally understood where the extra cushions in the house came from—they were all hand-woven by Tianxi!

What an extremely luxurious needle!

Hearing the noise, Tianxi turned around and saw Angie, a sweet smile spreading across her face.

"Anjie, you're back!"

Anjie had called Tianxi before returning home, which is why Tianxi specifically sat at the door waiting for Anjie to come home.

It played a little trick and didn't tell Snorlax and Lizard about it.

Those two always steal Anjie's attention! Humph!!!

"Yes, I'm back," Anjie said with a smile, then looked at the two round silk spiders beside her with surprise. "Where did these two little guys come from?"

Upon hearing this, Diancie picked up the two round silk spiders and said proudly, "I found them! Aren't they cute?"

These two spiderlings were the Pokémon that Diancie picked up from a trash can on the side of the streets of Azoth when Angel sent her to buy ingredients.

After finding it, Tianxi bought a book called "The Complete Handicrafts" from the system store and started teaching herself weaving.

It also plans to knit a sweater for Anjie once its skills improve.

"Eeto~"

"Eeto~"

Two tiny round silk spiders perched obediently on Diancie's hand, waving their front claws to greet Angie.

Anjie patted their foreheads and said, "They are indeed cute."

It's just that it might not be as cute after evolving into Ariados.

Alidos may not fit most people's aesthetic, but Anjie thinks they actually have a kind of inexplicable coolness.

Diancie clearly liked the Orb-weaver Spider very much; she even bought a handbag and carefully put the spider inside.

Two round silk spiders lay side by side on the edge of the satchel, their front legs and heads sticking out, continuing to spin silk for Diancie.

Ange turned her gaze away from the silky spider and looked at Diancie, asking, "Where are the Snorlax, the Lizard, and the Koala?"

Diancie replied, "Snorlax and Ember Spirit are helping plant trees on the other side of the riverbank, and the Tree Pillow Koala... is probably off to see its drinking buddies again!"

Anjie nodded and said, "Then let's go take a look over on the riverbank."

Having been away from home for so many days, I wonder how the trees on the riverbank are doing. Although Tianxi reports to him every day, it's still very necessary to go and see for myself.

Diancie nodded upon hearing this, and gently patted her bag. The two spiders immediately stopped spinning webs. Diancie then fed them each a Pokémon cookie, and the two spiders contentedly retreated into her bag to rest.

Then Angel, Diancie, Bup, and Metagross walked together toward the riverbank.

As Ange passed the wall, he saw two Orinoos standing on it, arms outstretched, basking in the sunlight.

"Linyu~"

"Linyu~"

Upon seeing Angel, both Orion greeted him with delight.

Angie asked with a smile, "Olinio, how's it going here?"

"Linyu~"

"Linyu~"

The two Orinoos smiled broadly and gestured to Ange.

They love it here. The Pokémon are friendly and welcoming, there's plenty of food, and most importantly, there's much more sunlight than in Area Zero, so they can bask in the sun to their heart's content.

"That's good." Anjie nodded with a smile. "Then you two continue sunbathing."

The two Orinoos nodded.

The Orion and the others weren't surprised that Ange could communicate with Pokémon, since Diancie had already told them beforehand.

On the stone slabs of the square, the Salt Stone Giant was playing with two Salt Stone Treasures. The Salt Stone Treasures climbed up the Salt Stone Giant's legs and onto its body, but each time they would fall down halfway up.

Then the Salt Stone Giant will gently extend its palm to catch them.

Seeing that they were having a good time, Anjie didn't disturb them.

At the base of the wall, a fiery chili pepper was sunbathing with her three hot-tempered babies.

The fiery chili pepper stood quietly, but the three mischievous hot chili pepper kids couldn't stay still. They would chase and play around for a while after a short time of quiet.

Every time this happens, their parents will pull them back, slap their bottoms twice, and scold them loudly.

After being scolded, the hot-tempered child will sit quietly next to his parents and bask in the sun.

Of course, this situation cannot last long; they will soon revert to their old ways.

Before even reaching the riverbank, Anjie spotted rows of wooden houses in the distance. He exclaimed with delight, "Have the houses for our goats been built yet?"

Tianxi nodded and said, "It's all thanks to Robert 1."

It's Robert 1, not Robert 2.

Although Robert 1 was clumsy, it worked together with the Pokémon to finally finish building the cabin while Angel was away.

"Let's go take a look!" Anjie quickly stepped towards the wooden house.

Diancie, Bup and Metagross quickly followed.

Upon arriving at the wooden house, Anjie looked it over and nodded in satisfaction.

"It's really well built!"

Because it was built for the mountain goats to live in, the wooden house was not very tall, only a little over 2 meters high, and the interior was designed with good light and ventilation in mind.

"Have the goats moved in yet?" Angie asked, looking at the piles of dead leaves and hay in the cabin.

Tianxi nodded: "They moved into the cabin as soon as it was built, and they love their new home."

"I'm glad you like it." Anjie nodded.

After visiting each cabin, Angeli led several Pokémon on their way to the riverbank.

Halfway there, Anjie encountered the Super Ecliptic Ostrich running freely on the grass.

Upon seeing Anjie return, Super Powerful Ostrich let out a long cry and rushed over, arriving at Anjie's side in the blink of an eye.

Anjie patted the head of the Super-Powerful Ostrich that was reaching out to him. "How are you? Are you adjusting well here?"

"Hiss~ Hiss~"

The Super-Powerful Ostrich stretched its head and rubbed against Anjie's neck. It loved the vast grasslands where it could run freely.

"You'll get used to it." Anjie patted the long neck of the Super Powerful Ostrich. "Alright, you can go back to your run now."

"Hiss~~"

Super Ecliptic nodded, then started running again with its long legs.

Anjie suddenly remembered something and asked Diancie in confusion, "Where are the two fragrant porcupines?"

Tianxi shrugged and said, "I don't know either. Ever since they came here, they've been leaving early and returning late every day. I don't know what they're busy with, but they should be back tonight."

"Alright then." Anjie knew that the two fragrant pigs were restless, so she didn't ask any more questions.

Anjie arrived at his destination quickly, and Rocket Sparrow spotted him first.

"Ya ma~ ya ma~~"

It happily flapped its wings and descended from the sky.

Its cry immediately attracted the attention of the other Pokémon, who stopped what they were doing and rushed toward Angel.

Anjie! Anjie is back!

The first to arrive were naturally the flying Pink Fragrance and the Blue Cotton Bird, which landed on Anjie's shoulders, one on each side.

"Whoosh~ Whoosh~"

"Chiru~ Chiru~"

Two little birds kept nuzzling Anjie's cheeks, expressing their longing for him.

Then, all the cats—including Sniffycat, Meowth, Curly-eared, Foam Squirrel, Melt-o'-the-Beast, Ralts, Naughty Panda, Little Lion, and Spurious Bear—pounced on Anja, completely overwhelming him.

"G-G-G-Master! Master!"

Munchlax was slow, and by the time it caught up, Angel was already surrounded by a large group of Pokémon. It couldn't squeeze in no matter what it did, so it anxiously circled around everyone.

As for Diancie, Bup and Metagross, who were originally with Angel, they have been pushed aside.

Bubo looked bewildered: What happened?

"Meta~Meta~" Ange is so popular!

Metagross sighed to Diancie beside him.

Diancie looked proud. "Of course, the Pokémon here are able to live comfortably with food and water, and have warm, clean houses, all thanks to Ange."

Metagross had already heard about the situation on the Nibel Plateau, but when it actually saw Angel being loved by so many Pokémon, it was still shocked and felt a deep respect for Angel.

If it initially followed Anjie only because it wanted to become stronger, it is now deeply captivated by Anjie's charm.

Angie, surrounded by Pokémon, was busy petting one Pokémon after another.

"Skitty cat, stop licking, it tickles!"

"Little Lion, don't breathe fire! It's too hot!"

"Ralts, stop tearing my clothes! You're going to rip them!"

……

Angie was incredibly happy, immersing herself in the ocean of Pokémon.

"I miss you all very much. You've all worked so hard during this time."

After squeezing for a long time, the little Snorlax finally squeezed to Anja's side, and then hugged Anja with a wronged look on its face.

Anjie patted its back and said, "Little Snorlax has worked hard too."

Comforted by its master, Munchlax's aggrieved mood vanished instantly, and it gently nuzzled its master with its head.

Anjax, who had just been tackled to the ground by the Pokémon, stood up, grabbed Munchlax's hand, and said to everyone, "We're having a delicious meal tonight! Everyone, hurry home after you finish your work!"

Anjie decided to have hot pot with everyone tonight. It's a day for family reunion, so of course we have to eat hot pot to make it special. And it just so happens that none of us have had hot pot before.

Upon hearing this, the Pokémon cheered and rushed off to work hard, eager to finish their tasks quickly so they could go home and enjoy their meal!

Looking at the fruit trees that had already been planted on the riverbank, Anjie was very satisfied. Sure enough, everyone was a reliable partner!

Before Ange left, Peach Berry, Orange Berry, Berry Berry and Cherry Berry had already been planted on the riverbank. During his absence, the Pokémon planted Zero Berry, Apple Berry, Wood Berry, Banana Berry, Eggplant Berry and Persimmon Berry one after another.

The riverbank area is limited, and although Anjie planted not many of each type of fruit tree, it is now almost full.

The fruit tree planting work is nearing completion, so Angela needs to think about arranging other tasks for the Pokémon.

Suddenly, Anjie noticed some changes he hadn't seen before. He looked in surprise at the three diminutive flowers working diligently in the distance and said:

"The trumpet bud has evolved?"

Diancie nodded. "That's right, it only evolved a few days ago."

Upon hearing this, Ange continued to look at the other Pokémon.

"Cocodora has evolved too?"

It should be called Kodora now!

Diancie continued, "Cocodora works really hard, training diligently every day with Blue Crocodile, Screw Grub, and the two Farfetch'ds, so it evolved several days earlier than Bellsprout and the others!"
