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

Chapter 142 If you want to buy a large milk tank, hurry up!

"Gone? How could it be gone?" Anjie asked in astonishment.

During the time Infernape was in his house, it stayed either in the room or on the roof and never left. How could it suddenly disappear?

"Your Highness, what happened?" Himeya asked in confusion.

Anjie said helplessly, "Infernape is gone."

"It's gone?" Ji Meiya looked surprised. "Could it be that the Infernape doesn't want to leave Your Highness's place?" she guessed.

Anjie was taken aback. "Really? Infernape seems to dislike humans quite a bit."

Ji Meiya asked, "Then why did it disappear as soon as I arrived?"

"Let's not worry about that now, let's find Infernape first!" Anjie said.

"du~ki~du~" I went to ask everyone for help in finding it.

As soon as it said that, Magia ran outside. Halfway there, it tripped and fell, but after getting up, it continued to run outside.

Soon, the Pokémon on the Nibel Plateau began to help search for Infernape.

The butterflies flew over to the orchard.

The mosquito coil tadpoles searched along the lake shore.

The lambs and goats are searching on the grassland.

Magiana brought Polcanion to the flower field.

……

Everyone searched everywhere, but couldn't find Infernape.

After Magiana finished searching the flower field, she and Polcanion were about to search elsewhere when they suddenly saw Rocket Sparrows flying over in a hurry.

"Ya ma~ Ya ma~"

Rocket Sparrow pointed in one direction and shouted.

"du~ki~du~" Did you find Infernape?

"Ya ma~ Ya ma~"

The rocket sparrow nodded vigorously.

So, led by the Rocket Sparrow, Magiana and Volcanion finally found the Infernape on the two adjacent trees on the plateau.

The Infernape sat high on a tree branch, gazing into the distance.

"duki ~"

Magia shouted loudly at Infernape, but Infernape only glanced at it and did not come down from the tree.

Maya was anxious to climb the tree. She hugged the trunk and kicked her legs, once, twice, three times, but not only did she fail to climb up, she also fell to the ground with a thud.

"Really!" Polcanion stretched out his arms and picked Magiana up. "How could you possibly climb up there!"

"duku~"

Maya looked disappointed upon hearing this.

"I just can't do anything with you, get on my back." Pulcanion's tone was helpless yet doting.

"du~ki~du~"

Upon hearing this, Magiana happily hugged Polcanion's head and pressed her face against Polcanion's cheek.

With a flushed face, Volcanion reached out and lifted Magearna onto his back. Then, he spewed out large amounts of steam from his arms, carrying Magearna into the sky, and flew all the way to a position level with Infernape.

Volcanion hovered in mid-air and used his arms to place Magearna on the branch where Infernape was sitting.

Magiana lost her balance and wobbled, almost falling off. Just as Volcanion was about to catch her, Infernape reacted quickly and pulled her back.

After Magiaron settled in, it gave Infernape a sweet smile, but Infernape turned its head away and refused to look at it.

Once Magiana was settled, Polcanion landed back on the ground and lay down under the big tree to wait for them.

"Why did you run away?" Magiana asked, puzzled.

"I didn't run away," Infernape retorted. How could it possibly run away?

"Really?" Magearna looked at Infernape, indicating disbelief.

"Of course, why would I run away?" Infernape retorted, sounding unsure of itself.

Magiana: "Then come back with me. The princess has come to fetch you. Just follow her and you'll be able to see your friends."

"They're not my friends! I have no friends!" Infernape retorted.

The Pokémon that were kept in the training center with it were all sent here from all over the world. Infernape hadn't spent much time with them and couldn't really be considered friends.

It just felt sorry for them because they were being tortured by humans.

"No friends?" Magiana was taken aback. "Am I not your friend either? I thought we were already friends."

The Infernape was speechless, choked by Magiana's words. It had been taking care of Magiana for the past few days and naturally considered her a friend.

But to ask it to admit... it's embarrassed.

"You don't want to leave here, do you?" Magiana asked.

Magearna had hit a nerve, and Infernape stammered, "Angel saved me, I... I haven't repaid him yet..."

Maya said, "Actually, I don't want you to leave either. I wish you could stay here forever."

"Really? You really think so?" Infernape looked at Magearna in surprise, then seemed to realize that it had overreacted, so it quickly composed itself.

"Of course!" Magiana nodded vigorously. "As long as you want to stay, Ange will definitely agree."

"I want to stay..." Infernape said in a voice as soft as a mosquito's buzz.

"What did you say?" Magiana didn't hear her clearly.

The Infernape, thinking Magearna was teasing it, became enraged and shouted, "I want to stay!"

Its loud noise startled the Polcanion and Rocket Sparrow who were resting under the tree.

Hearing Infernape's answer, Magearna excitedly grabbed Infernape's arm and said, "Great! Let's go tell Ange right now!"

The Infernape hesitated, "Will Ange really agree to let me stay?" After all, it had been hiding from Ange for so many days since it arrived at the Nibel Plateau, and had not officially met him.

"Yes! I promise!" Maya patted her chest and assured them.

Encouraged by Magiana, Infernape finally decided to ask Ange for help. So it picked up Magiana and jumped down from the tree with agility and lightness.

When it and Magiana returned home, Ange was still outside searching for Infernape, while only Diancie was waiting at home.

Seeing Infernape Magearna return together, Diancie stepped forward and said, "It's good that you're back. Everyone was so worried about you."

"Du~ki~du~" Where's Anjie? We have something we want to tell him.

"Mageyana asked."

"They're still out looking for Infernape and haven't come back yet," Diancie replied.

Just then, the Rocket Sparrow cried out, "Ya-ma~ Ya-ma~" I'll go find it! I'll go find it!

As it spoke, it flapped its wings and flew away quickly.

Before long, Anjie and Jimiya rushed back. Seeing that Infernape was alright, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Just as Ange was about to tell Infernape to go with Gimya, Magiana stepped forward and said:

"Du~ki~du~" Anjie, Infernape has something to tell you.

As it spoke, it pushed the unprepared Infernape in front of Anjie.

Anjie looked at Infernape with a puzzled expression, and seeing its hesitant look, he smiled and said, "Infernape, just say what you want to say, I'm listening!"

Infernape glanced back at Magearna, who immediately smiled and gave it an encouraging look.

Infernape took a deep breath and said, "Gokura~ Gokura~ I want to stay on Nibel Plateau, I don't want to go anywhere else!"

"Stay on the Nibel Plateau?" Angie was taken aback upon hearing this. "But you..."

Seeing the Infernape's embarrassed expression, Anjie suddenly stopped asking questions and turned to look at Ji Meiya.

"Jimiya, can Infernape stay on the Nibel Plateau?"

Ji Meiya smiled and said, "Of course, if it's willing."

As she spoke, she took out a Poké Ball and handed it to Ange, "Your Highness, this is Infernape's Poké Ball."

The Poké Ball was seized by the police from an employer at a training facility who illegally captured Infernape from the forest and sent it to the facility for training.

That person has now been caught and is facing imprisonment.

Anjie took the Poké Ball, pressed the release button, and said to Infernape, "Infernape, you can stay here from now on. You can leave whenever you want."

This Poké Ball is nothing but a painful memory for Infernape; keeping it is pointless.

Seeing Anja's actions, Infernape's eyes revealed a hint of gratitude.

Ji Meiya then said, "Since Infernape intends to stay on the Nibel Plateau, I'll head back now."

Anjie said, "Okay, I'll see you off."

After seeing Ji Meiya off onto the aircraft and watching her leave the Nibel Plateau, Anjie returned home. He called out to Maggieana:

"Magnia, now that Infernape is a member of our Nibel Plateau, go to the staff dormitory and arrange a room for it."

"Duki ~" Okay!

With that, Magearna nimbly led Infernape to the staff dormitory.

Upon arriving at the secret fortress, Magearna introduced Infernape as they walked, saying, "All the Pokémon from the Nibel Plateau live here."

The Infernape suddenly realized why everyone always came this way at night!

"The rooms with signs on the doors are occupied, and the ones without signs are empty. You can choose any room to stay in," Magiyana continued.

This was the first time Infernape had ever seen such good accommodations for Pokémon on the Nibel Plateau. Its gaze swept over the empty rooms, feeling somewhat dazzled.

Every room was very good for it.

In the end, Infernape chose a room that wasn't too big, but big enough for it to live in.

After choosing a room, Magiaron hung a sign on its door with a picture of Infernape's head on it, and then took it to Greninja to get its supplies.

For every Pokémon that moves in, its daily necessities can be obtained for free from Greninja. This is a rule that Ange bought after the daily necessities store opened.

After helping Infernape set up its room, Diancie took it to Robert 2 and got it a Nibelcard. Once Infernape recovers, it will join Kodora and the others' patrol team, and its wages will be deposited into its Nibelcard.

While helping the Flame Monkey get its card, Maya explained the rules of the Nibel Plateau to it.

For the first time, Infernape realized that Pokémon could live like humans, with jobs, entertainment, and the ability to spend their own money.

After helping Infernape take care of everything, Magearna said, "I'll be going now. Feel free to come find me anytime if you need anything."

Infernape nodded.

After Magearna left, Infernape lay on its bed and stared blankly at Nibelka in its hand.

This will be its home from now on!

The word "home" felt unfamiliar to Infernape.

"Kino~"

Just then, a voice rang out at the door, and Chinchilla poked its head in.

The Infernape sat up in bed, looking at the smiling Chinchilla with a puzzled expression. Then it saw Candlelight, Skunk Poo, and Electric Umbrella Lizard peeking out one after another.

"Mmm~ Mmm~" May I come in?

"Candlelight Spirit asked."

"High calories~" Infernape hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded.

"Oh dear~"

"Kino~"

……

With the Infernape's permission, everyone happily entered the room, each carrying gifts—food, toys, and useful items.

It turns out that Candlelight had learned that Infernape had become a new resident here, so he specially brought his friends to congratulate Infernape on its housewarming.

After all, we'll all be neighbors from now on.

Upon learning the purpose of the little creatures' visit, Infernape smiled.

Soon, Infernape's room became lively. Lidgment and the others brought lots of food and drinks and held a small welcome ceremony for Infernape.

Looking at the boisterous little creatures, the Infernape couldn't help but smile. It thought: Home might be a good place.

Several days passed in the blink of an eye, and the Infernape gradually adapted to life on the Nibel Plateau, and its injuries gradually healed.

At first, it stayed in its room and didn't go out much. Later, it was dragged out by Chinchilla and the others, and gradually it started to go out more often. It even participated in several football matches in Pulcanion and led its team to victory against Pulcanion.

Volcanion was a perennial champion on the Nebel Plateau, but now Infernape had repeatedly defeated it, which made it very resentful, so much so that it often called other Pokémon to challenge Infernape to battles.

This gives Infernape more opportunities to go out.

That day, Angie received a call from Flamel.

"Your Highness, Her Highness the Princess asked me to tell you some news. A ranch on the outskirts of our city has gone bankrupt due to poor management. The ranch owner plans to sell the Pokémon on the ranch, including a batch of Miltank Pokémon. The Princess said that if Your Highness is interested, please act quickly, or they will be gone."

Big Milk Tank?

Upon hearing this news, An Jie's eyes lit up. He wanted it! He really wanted it!

Although the Nibel Plateau already has riding goats that can produce milk, the taste of grass goat milk and moo moo milk is completely different.

Maya is currently learning to make desserts from Madek, and in the future, she will definitely need to use both grass goat milk and moo moo milk, so moo moo milk is essential, and Ange needs to prepare it in advance.

To get Moo Moo Milk, you need a big milk jug.

"Flamer, quickly send me the address of that ranch, I'll go there myself!" Angie said anxiously.

Act fast, or you'll miss this opportunity!

Soon, Flamel sent over the location of the ranch, and after confirming the location, Ange decided to set off immediately.

So he summoned Metagross and Buppus to act as his bodyguards, and then he summoned Altaria.

Because the ranch was in the suburbs, and it would be quite a distance to walk there after leaving the royal city, he planned to ride the Qixi Bluebird to fly there.

Although Metagross can fly, Angel's Metagross doesn't have any riding gear, so it's not as comfortable to ride as Altaria's soft, squishy body.

However, when the Bluebird came on the Double Seventh Festival, it also brought the Cottonbird with it.

"Chiru~ Chiru~"

The blue cotton bird flapped its wings and landed on Anjie's shoulder, nuzzling its head against Anjie's cheek.

Anjie patted its head and said, "Are you coming out with me too?"

"Chiru~ Chiru~"

The blue cotton bird nodded solemnly.

Anjie said with a smile, "Okay, but you have to be good on the way, or I won't take you next time."

"Chiru~ Chiru~" I definitely will!

The blue cotton bird puffed out its chest in assurance.

And so, Ange set off with her four Pokémon.

They first entered the royal city through the spatial portal of Munchlax's house, and then took the cable car to the city gate.

The cable car swayed and rocked along the way, like a cradle, and the mother and the other blue-winged bird sitting opposite Anjie both dozed off.

Bubo sat in Anjie's lap and, seeing the blue cotton bird and its mother asleep, covered its mouth and chuckled secretly.

When they arrived at the city gate, Anjie woke up Swablu and Altaria and got off the vehicle with the four Pokémon.

He then glanced at his phone, and after confirming the location of the ranch, he picked up Bubo and rode the Tanabata.

"Strange~"

The bluebird let out a long cry, flapped its wings, and took Anjie and Bubo into the wind. The warm spring breeze felt very comfortable on Anjie's body.

The Swablu and Metagross took flight, positioned on either side of the Altaria.

"Bu~Bu~"

Looking down at the royal city, which was getting smaller and smaller and farther away from him, Bubo happily clapped his hands.

As they gradually ascended into the sky and their view broadened, Anjie felt that her mind also broadened.

"Chiru~ Chiru~"

The blue cotton bird flapped its wings happily, flying up and down with the spring breeze, showing off its flying skills to Anjie as if it were showing off.

However, its flying skills were not very good. It flew crookedly in the air, which made Bubo laugh at it for a while. The green cotton bird was so angry that it flew over and pecked Bubo’s head.

Just then, a few little arrow-finches flew over, and the blue-winged finches immediately greeted them happily.

Feeling the friendliness of the Blue Swallow, the little arrowbirds gathered around the Blue Swallow and flew together with it.

After flying a long distance, the little arrow sparrows finally parted ways with Anjie and his group, chirping as they said goodbye.

After flying for an unknown amount of time, Anjie finally saw a pasture, where flocks of Mare sheep were gathered at the edge of the pasture, creating a spectacular sight.

"That's it! Let's speed up!" Anjie shouted, pointing at the ranch.

"Qi~" The Qixi Bluebird cried out, its wings swayed powerfully, and with a burst of speed, it carried An Jie a great distance in the blink of an eye.

"Chiru~ Chiru~" Mom, wait for me!

The blue cotton bird hurriedly and laboriously flapped its wings to chase after its mother's retreating figure.

"Meta~"

Metagross also accelerated and gave chase.

Before long, Anjie arrived at the ranch safely, and the Qixi Bluebird flapped its wings and landed smoothly.
