Elf: Seriously? You only get a cheat code when you're about to die?

Chapter 110 Inspiration from Diancie

After lunch, the Pokémon set off one after another to plant trees.

The planting of fruit trees is nearing completion and should be finished in the next couple of days.

Anjie first inspected the riverbank, then went to the fish farm, and then went to the vicinity of the wooden house where the goats lived.

Anjie had previously thought about raising a few chickens, two pigs, and a few cows and sheep, so this afternoon he planned to build chicken coops, pigsties, sheep pens, and cow sheds with his Pokémon.

Building chicken coops, pigsties, sheep pens, and cowsheds is much simpler than building homes for your riding goats; all you need is a place to shelter them from the wind and rain.

After selecting the construction site, Ange and the Pokémon carried over all the necessary materials, with the largest quantity being wood, all of which were leftovers from building the wooden house.

After gathering all the materials, Angie asked Robert 2, "Metamorphoses, is it really okay to leave everything to you?"

Robert No. 2 nodded confidently, "Don't worry, I've already learned how to build chicken coops, pigsties, sheep pens, and cowsheds online!"

"Alright then." Anjie nodded. "Thank you."

Robert 2 stepped forward, tucked one hand into his arm and replaced it with a chainsaw, and picked up a piece of wood with his other hand to work on it.

With a buzzing noise, the wood turned into planks.

Then Angie and the others saw Robert 2 hammering and tinkering with the wooden planks, before handing the finished planks to its main body, Metagross, who then used its superpowers to build the structure.

In no time, a chicken coop was built.

Angie stared in disbelief. "Metamorphoses, you're amazing!"

He originally thought that Robert 1 was already very good at building houses, after all, it was the one that built the houses for the goats. He did not expect that the modified Robert 2 was even better.

With the Metagross's exceptional intelligence, Robert II was able to quickly master the skills he learned online!

This...this is an all-around genius!

The Metagross, feeling a little embarrassed by Ange's intense gaze, controlled Robert 2 and said, "Actually, it's not difficult at all. I just learned it from the internet."

Anjie: You probably have some misunderstanding about what is difficult and what is simple.

Anjie looked at the chicken coop in front of him with satisfaction, but it seemed a bit too big. He didn't plan to raise many chickens; a few would be enough for his family to eat meat and eggs.

Well, let's build it bigger then. He'll just have to raise a few more animals. There's nothing we can do; we'll have more mouths to feed at home.

Then Metagross and Robert 2 began working together to build pigsties, sheep pens, and cowsheds.

Meanwhile, Anjie was selecting the chicks, piglets, lambs, and calves she wanted to raise, all of which were available in the system store.

Soon Anjie selected 50 chicks, 40 hens and 10 roosters. The hens could lay eggs when they grew up, so there was no need to raise more roosters.

Then he picked out four piglets, not distinguishing between male and female, since they were all raised for meat and he wasn't expecting them to have piglets.

However, Anjie remembers that pigs need to be castrated, but he doesn't know how! Oh well, he'll learn when the time comes.

Finally, he bought two lambs and two calves, one male and one female.

Anjie didn't dare buy too many. He had no experience in raising livestock, and if he killed them all, it would be a terrible tragedy! Food shouldn't be wasted.

After making the purchase, Anjie was surprised to find that the system had thoughtfully included "Chicken Raising Guide", "Pig Raising Guide", "Sheep Raising Guide" and "Cattle Raising Guide" as bonuses.

Anjie plans to show all of these to Metagross later, so that Metagross can learn them and then pass them on to the Pokémon. In the future, the tasks of raising chickens, pigs, sheep, and cattle will all be handed over to the Pokémon.

Around dusk, Metagross and Robert 2 finished building the pigpen, sheeppen, and cowshed.

"Metamorphosis, you're amazing!" Angie couldn't help but exclaim.

The Metagross, controlling Robert 2, said, "It's all learned on the spot, nothing difficult."

As expected, Metagross is a top-tier Versailles.

Anjie released the pups she bought into the chicken coop, pigsty, sheep pen, and cowshed, and the place instantly became lively.

The chicks were fluffy and very cute. They were probably in a new environment and were running around the coop in a panic.

The piglets were pink and tender, their noses darting around on the grass, seemingly looking for food.

The lambs and calves were much more docile; as soon as they entered the sheepfold and cowshed, they would lower their heads and start grazing.

Anjie grabbed a handful of millet from her system inventory and scattered it into the chicken coop. The chicks immediately swarmed around it, eagerly munching on the millet.

"Gang~ Gang~" Master, they're so cute!

The little Snorlax approached the chicken coop, cupped its face in its hands, and said with a beaming smile.

Hearing this, Anjie pinched its chubby cheeks and said, "You're cute too!"

Hearing Anja's words, the little Snorlax grinned happily.

Hehe~~ My master said I'm cute!

Then Anjie took some white radishes and threw them into the pigpen. The four piglets immediately ran over and started eating them.

Eat up, eat up, the more you eat, the more weight you'll gain! Anjie thought to herself with satisfaction.

Bubo clung to the fence of the pigpen, curiously observing the piglets inside, which were about the same size as it.

"Bu~Bu~" They can eat so much!

Bu Bo tugged at An Jie's clothes and said.

An Jia tapped its forehead with her finger. "Can't you eat? You can eat more than they can!"

"Bu~Bu~"

Bubo resolutely refused to admit that he could eat more than a piglet, and jumped down from the fence, hopping and jumping in protest.

Anjie said, "No matter how much you jump around, you're still a glutton."

As he spoke, Anjie walked to the edge of the cowshed and sheepfold, and threw a pile of fresh green vegetables into each. The calves and lambs immediately abandoned the grass and rushed to the vegetables to eat them.

"Meow~"

"Moo~"

The lambs and calves bleated as they ate, clearly very satisfied with their food.

On the other hand, the timeline goes back to when Anjie had just left the fishing grounds.

Diancie, along with Lizard and Gastly, busied themselves by the lake, scattering seeds of water hyacinths along the shore. Once the water hyacinths grew, Diancie could use them to make fish food specifically for fish Pokémon.

After doing all this, Tianxi boarded the fishing boat that Ange had bought and swam towards the center of Lake Nibel, pulled by the lizard.

Diancie can't swim, so it specifically called upon Gastly so that if Diancie fell into the water, Gastly could use Psychic to pull it out in time.

Diancie's body is mostly made of rock and diamonds, so if it fell into the water, it wouldn't be able to swim up on its own.

Before long, Tianxi saw the slender cod competing in the center of the lake, followed by the exhausted goldfish, goldfish king, carp king, and feebas.

Diancie came here, naturally for the training plan she and Metagross devised for the Light Cod!

"Everyone!" Diancie waved and shouted to the Light Cod.

Upon hearing Tianxi's voice, the light cod immediately parted the lake surface and gathered around the fishing boat, with the goldfish following closely behind.

"Hee-ru~ Hee-ru~~"

The leader of the Light Cod poked his head out of the water and asked Diancie why he had come.

"I'm here for your special training," Diancie said to the Light Cod.

"Hee-ru~ Hee-ru~"

Upon hearing this, the light cod immediately jumped around on the water's surface with great joy, splashing up sprays of water.

"Everyone, follow me." Tianxi directed the lizard to pull the fishing boat forward.

"Feeding~~"

The leader of the Light Cods called out, and immediately the other Light Cods, along with the Horned Goldfish, the King Goldfish, and the King Carp, followed suit.

The group followed the fishing boats all the way to the edge of the Great Falls at the confluence of Lake Nibel and the Nibel River (hereafter referred to as the Great Falls).

Before they even got close to the waterfall, Diancie commanded the lizard to stop. The current near the waterfall was too strong, and if they got too close, the lizard wouldn't be able to hold the fishing boat.

Tianxi pointed towards the waterfall and said, "From now on, you'll train by climbing the waterfall!"

Diancie and Metagross came up with this training method by referencing Magikarp's "leaping over the dragon gate" behavior.

Examples of Magikarp evolving by climbing waterfalls exist all over the world. Metagross collected a lot of information about this online and felt that it was a very good training method.

Lake Nibel has a great waterfall, and its excellent location provides favorable conditions for the slender cod to train.

Moreover, even if the Light Cod can't climb up, they don't need to worry about not being able to get home, because below the waterfall is the outlet of the fifth level pool of the secret fortress. The Light Cod that can't climb up can return to the fifth level of the secret fortress through the outlet and continue the challenge tomorrow.

After explaining the situation to everyone, Tianxi said, "Now, everyone, rush down the waterfall!"

The slender cod were very brave. As soon as Tianxi finished speaking, they rushed towards the waterfall and then plunged down the waterfall with the rushing water.

But the goldfish, king goldfish, king carp, and pufferfish are different. They live in Lake Nebel from a young age and never dare to approach the waterfall. They are terrified when they see the waterfall and dare not take even a small step forward.

Seeing this, Tianxi said sternly, "What, you're scared now? Who was it that said they wanted to train with the Light Cod yesterday? For your sake, Ange even asked the Light Cod and the others to take you along. Are you going to waste Ange's kindness?"

Diancie's words made the goldfish and the king goldfish feel ashamed.

Tianci continued loudly, "Don't make me look down on you! Do you want to be weak and pathetic your whole lives, just drifting along Lake Nibel?"

The goldfish felt even more embarrassed.

The lizard hid its head in the water, not daring to utter a sound, and couldn't help but recall the days when it was dominated by Diancie in the cooking training room.

Gastly was stunned by Diancie's sudden change of expression. Where did my gentle and beautiful Diancie go?

Under Diancie's stern gaze, finally, a Magikarp swam forward a short distance.

Looking at the rushing water before it, Magikarp's dull eyes flashed with a hint of fear, but recalling Diancie's words, its gaze suddenly became firm, and then it resolutely swung its tail and charged straight down the waterfall.

In the blink of an eye, Magikarp disappeared at the end of the waterfall.

Following Magikarp, Feebas also swam out resolutely.

The actions of the Magikarp and the Feebas made the Goldfish and the King Goldfish even more ashamed. They gathered together and whispered among themselves. Finally, as if they had made up their minds, they quickly swung their tails and rushed towards the waterfall while screaming.

Seeing this, Tianxi smiled with satisfaction.

Diancie had the Lizard watch over the fishing boat, and then Gastly used Psychic to carry it into the air, flying all the way to the bottom of the waterfall.

One by one, the slender cod were seen leaping upwards along the cascading water curtain of the waterfall.

However, the Great Falls is not so easy to climb. Even the strongest Light Cod leader fell back into the pool below the falls when he was halfway up the mountain due to the impact of the water flow.

But the leader of the Light Cod showed no hesitation or fear and immediately launched another challenge.

Once, twice, three times... it constantly hones itself through falling and climbing.

The same applies to other light cod.

The belief in constantly challenging themselves, honing their skills, and becoming stronger is ingrained in their very being.

Some slender cod even crash into rocks when they fall, which looks incredibly painful, but the slender cod don't seem to care at all.

However, Diancie was prepared. She carried with her the Giant Salt Stone, which could heal injuries, and the Fruit, which could restore stamina. If any Light Cod couldn't hold on, she would immediately step forward to treat it.

Looking at the fearless slender cod, Diancie's face showed admiration.

In comparison, although the goldfish, king goldfish, king koi, and pufferfish mustered up their courage to jump off the waterfall, they hesitated again when they saw the surging water.

Diancie had Gastly fly it to the top of Goldeen's heads and continued in a stern tone, "What? Scared again? You overcame your fear to get here, are you going to back down in the face of fear again?"

The goldfish and the king goldfish looked at each other, hesitating for a moment.

Diancie then looked at Magikarp and said, "Magikarp, every year tens of thousands of your kind overcome numerous obstacles to reach this waterfall, striving to evolve into Gyarados. They are fearless in the face of hardship and suffering. Don't you want to be like them?"

With each word Diancie spoke, Magikarp's blank gaze gained a newfound resolve.

Diancie then looked at Feebas: "Feebas, your evolved form Milotic is known as the most beautiful Pokémon in the world. Don't you even dream of that? Don't you want to shine with your beautiful light?"

Diancie's words touched the deepest longing in the Ugly Fish's heart. It remembered the beautiful voice it had glimpsed in a fleeting moment, and its gaze gradually hardened.

Under the astonished gazes of the goldfish and the magpie, the magpie and the feebas swam to the bottom of the waterfall, and then, imitating the slender cod, vigorously swung their tails, flapped their fins, and rushed towards the top of the waterfall.

They lacked the agility of light-bodied cod and the strength of water, so they were swept away by the current after climbing only a short distance.

Seeing the fearless figures of the slender cod, Magikarp and Feebas felt a surge of pride. They adjusted their posture and charged towards the waterfall once more.

Once, twice, three times... Even though they never climbed very high each time and always fell heavily down, they still persisted.

The goldfish and the king goldfish clearly saw the progress of the king koi and the ugly fish, which climbed higher and higher each time, although they were still a long, long way from the top.

But as long as they continue to make progress like this, who dares to say they will never succeed?

Seeing Magikarp and Feebas like this, the Goldeen and Goldeen were shocked. Were they still Feebas and Magikarp? Were they still the weakest and most inconspicuous Pokémon in Lake Nebel?

"Kosa~"

At this moment, a goldfish finally swam slowly out of the group. Looking at the surging waterfall in front of it, its eyes still held a trace of fear, but its expression was very firm.

It can do everything that Magikarp and Feebas can do!

With that thought in mind, it rushed towards the waterfall without hesitation.

The action of this horned goldfish clearly set a precedent, so the other horned goldfish and the king goldfish followed suit, swimming forward one after another and climbing towards the waterfall.
