Chapter 149: The Second Diancie Appears

Soon, the little Snorlax came over carrying a tray with small bowls.

Upon seeing what was in the bowl, Anjie exclaimed in realization, "Oh, it's tofu pudding!"

The recipe for tofu pudding has now been unlocked in the system; it was a reward for the mission that Anjie and Xiaozhi received after getting to know each other.

Tofu pudding is considered a high-end dish, and the ingredient needed to make it is rolled soybeans.

Anjie plans to launch new items at Diancie's Dining Hall and Munchlax House soon, and will sell them in limited quantities at Munchlax House.

Although Anjie's Rolling Beans have been harvested once, it is still too difficult to supply the Munchlax House indefinitely, so the supply can only be limited, and the supply will stop once a certain amount is sold out each day.

Now, the business at Munchlax House is getting better and better. Even though he only opens until 10:00, he is still extremely busy every day.

Diancie took the tray from Snorlax and then distributed the tofu pudding to everyone.

"Here you go, the sweet ones are for Brutus and Metagross, the salty ones are for Gengar and Komamura, and Magearna and Volcanion, you guys want the salty ones too, right?"

The debate over whether tofu pudding should be sweet or savory has always existed, and Ange's Pokémon also have different tastes.

"Angie, this bowl is for you, it's salty." Tianxi placed Anjie's portion in front of Anjie.

Anjie is a staunch supporter of the "salty party".

This isn't the first time everyone has eaten tofu pudding; they really enjoy this Anjie Protestant food.

Bubo slurped down the bowl of tofu pudding in no time, then held up the bowl and howled at the little Snorlax.

"Bu~bu~" Another bowl, another bowl!

"Gang~"

However, the little Snorlax shook its head at it, because it was a midnight snack and each person (Pokémon) could only eat one bowl.

"Cloth~~"

Bup was disappointed and watched others eat longingly. Metagross, seeing this, wanted to share half of his food with Bup, but Ange stopped him:

"Metamorphoses, you eat your own food, don't spoil Buppha."

Upon hearing this, Metagross glanced helplessly at Buppud and could only continue eating on its own. Buppud lowered its shoulders in disappointment but did not linger.

It knew that if it threw a tantrum and acted unreasonable towards Anjie, Anjie would definitely get angry.

After having a late-night snack, Poliwag Swimmer took the two Poliwags home. After spending some family time with the Pokémon, Anjax went to the cooking studio for training as usual, and finally went back to their rooms to sleep with the Pokémon.

The following afternoon, Gengar was at home preparing to open its shop in the evening, while Ange took Snorlax and Lizard to the hillside where Mount Goat and Mount Lambs cultivated lush green grass. The hillside was covered in a vibrant green, with each blade of grass emitting a faint glow.

His guess was correct. After being exposed to grassy ground for a long time, ordinary grass will gradually transform into emerald green grass, becoming an important ingredient for making high-end food.

When they saw Anjie and his companions arrive, their mountain goats and lambs gathered around them.

"Meow~~"

They bombarded each other with questions: when would Anjie finally make the delicious food she promised? They were waiting so long they were practically wilting.

Anjie took out a basket and a sickle from her system inventory and said, "I'll make them for you today."

Upon hearing this, the mountain goat and its lambs jumped and danced with joy.

Their calls attracted the large milk tankers grazing nearby. When they learned that Anjie was going to cook something delicious for them, the milk tankers cheered with joy.

The big milk tankers adapted very well to the Nibel Plateau, enjoying the delicious food prepared by Anjie every day and eating the high-quality pasture produced on the Nibel Plateau. They were extremely satisfied.

Anjie wasn't lying to them; their quality of life not only didn't worsen, but it was far better than before.

Moreover, the other Pokémon on the plateau are very friendly. They not only take them to the river to bathe and brush their fur, but also play games with them.

The most popular game on the plateau right now is Pokémon Soccer, with two teams, led by Volcanion and Infernape, playing a fierce match every two days.

Some Pokémon enjoy participating, while others prefer watching; in short, Pokémon soccer greatly enriches the entertainment options for Pokémon.

"Alright, you guys go play now. I'm going to cut some grass to cook you something delicious when I get back," Anjie said to his goat mount, his lamb mount, and the big milk tanks.

The riding goats, the riding lambs, and the big milk tanks all nodded in agreement.

The riding goats and riding lambs continued to cultivate lush green grass in the grassy area, while the big milk tanks went to roll around and sunbathe on the grass.

"Let's get to work."

As he spoke, Ange handed the scythe in his hand to Munchlax and Lizard.

After the Snorlax and Ember Spirit took the scythes, they began to imitate Angel's movements as they cut grass.

After using the scythe for a while, the lizard felt it was not handy, so it simply threw it aside and a water blade appeared in its hand.

It rarely uses knives when cutting vegetables, but mostly uses its own condensed water blade, so the abrasive lizard has very precise control over the water flow.

Sure enough, after using the water jet, it cut grass much faster than Angel and Munchlax, and soon its basket was full. Then it started filling Angel's basket with water.

Seeing this, An Jie couldn't help but praise, "As expected of the Transformed Lizard, your swordsmanship is truly excellent!"

The lizard was very proud of itself. It gave Anjie a thumbs up and winked, saying, "Chirp~ Chirp~" I'm awesome!

The little Snorlax was very enthusiastic, clapping loudly for the Lizard and saying, "Gam~ cam~" Second brother, awesome!

Having gained his senior's approval, the lizard's expression became even more smug.

Soon the three of them, master and disciples, each carried a full basket of lush green grass back home.

After returning home, the three of them washed the green grass clean, dried it, and then squeezed it into juice.

Now we can officially begin making qingtuan.

Anjay said to Snorlax and Ember Spirit, "You two make the dough, and I'll make the filling. We'll work together, okay?"

The lizard gave a thumbs-up and nodded.

"Chirp~" No problem.

The little Snorlax patted its chest and assured him.

"Gang~" Leave it to me, Master!

They have studied the recipe for qingtuan many times and practiced it in the culinary training room.

Anjie nodded. "Okay, let's get started."

Upon hearing this, the lizard brought over freshly squeezed grass juice, added a small amount of water and rock salt, poured it into a pot and started cooking, and added an appropriate amount of edible alkali.

After it boiled, Munchlax brought over the glutinous rice flour and poured it in. As Munchlax poured it in, Shaymin stirred it with chopsticks to allow the glutinous rice flour to fully absorb the grass juice.

Once the dough was cool enough to handle, the lizard and the muffin used their hands to knead the glutinous rice flour mixed with grass juice into small dough balls.

After kneading the dough, boil a pot of water, put the dough in and cook until it floats, then drain and take it out.

Next, put the cooked dough balls back together and knead and mix them again.

This step was done by Munchlax, because Munchlax is stronger than Lizard and is more suitable for this task.

On the other side, Anjie put the soaked red beans into a pot, added rock sugar, and cooked them until they became a paste. Then she put them into a blender and blended them into red bean paste.

Next, put the red bean paste into a pot and stir-fry until it is slightly dry. Then, remove it from the pot and let it cool. Finally, roll it into small balls for later use.

After preparing the red bean paste, Anjai asked Munchlax and Lizard, "Are your doughs ready?"

"Here it comes!"

The little Snorlax immediately carried over a large bowl of bright green dough, which was still slightly shiny.

This is truly a food that glows.

The dough glows because the juice of the grass is rich in herbal energy.

Next, Anjax, Snorlax, and Lizard took a small piece from the dough, wrapped it with red bean paste, and then sealed the opening with their hands to make a green rice ball.

There are many filling options. If you don't like red bean paste, you can choose other fillings, such as sesame, purple sweet potato, coconut flakes, etc.

After the green rice dumplings were made, the three of them placed them one by one on leaves of Rom tree leaves, a specialty of the Nibel Plateau, and then steamed them in a pot.

Roma leaves have a natural fragrance, and the green rice dumplings steamed with them will also have a subtle aroma.

While Anjie and his friends were steaming qingtuan, four people arrived at the riverbank, accompanied by four Rock-type Pokémon.

These four people were none other than Xiao Zhi and his companions, who had met An Jie just a week ago.

And accompanying them were a Diancie and three small diamonds.

Similarly, these three little diamonds had also met Anjie once before. They were the three that the system asked Anjie to save: Majima, Knight, and Juke.

The princess they were looking for was none other than Diancie, and it seems they have found her.

"Tianci, is your senses working properly?" Ash asked, looking at the rushing waterfall in the distance.

"There's no mistake, it's a fairy aura. Xerneas must have been here!" Diancie said with absolute certainty.

Diancie sought out Xerneas because her mineral kingdom was facing a huge crisis, and only by learning the fairy aura from Xerneas could it be resolved.

Majima also said, "The princess's intuition is probably correct."

"Alright then, let's continue," Ash said.

As soon as they stepped into the orchard, Bricaron, accompanied by two large carnivorous plants and three dwarf flowers, blocked their path.

They were about to tell Ash and his friends to leave, but when they saw Diancie, they were all shocked.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Zhi asked, puzzled.

"Rika~ Rika~~~" Bricaron stepped forward and called out to Ash and the others a few times.

Upon hearing this, Tianxi translated, "They said this is owned land and we shouldn't come near."

"Huh? There's an owner here?" Ash and Serena looked shocked.

"There should be," Citron said, adjusting his glasses. "Look at those neat rows of trees; they're all fruit trees, so they must have been planted by humans."

"What should we do then?" Yurika asked. "If we can't go in, does that mean we won't be able to find Xerneas?"

Upon hearing this, Diancie jumped forward and said to Bricaron and Carnivora:

"Hello, we have something very important to do here. Could you please let us through?"

Bricaron and Victreebel looked at each other in bewilderment. If it were any other person or Pokémon making the request, they would have refused without hesitation, but the Pokémon in front of them was Diancie!

Finally, Bricaron said, "Rika~ Rika~" You guys wait here, I'll go ask.

"Thank you so much!" Diancie immediately smiled gratefully.

"Rika~~"

Bricalon shouted into the air, and soon a Fiery Arrow Eagle descended from the sky. Bricalon lashed out with his vine whip, which wrapped around the Fiery Arrow Eagle's two talons. The Fiery Arrow Eagle carried him into the sky and quickly disappeared.

The two Victreebels, along with the three Bellsprouts, remained in place, keeping a close watch on Ash and his friends.

Watching the Talonflame disappear into the distance, Clemont couldn't help but say, "The owner of this place must be a powerful trainer."

Xiao Zhi was taken aback. "Why do you say that?"

Clemont replied, "Look at the Bellossom and Victreebel in front of you, and the Bricaron and Talonflame that just left. Every Pokémon has been trained to be exceptionally good, and the charm they exude from within is truly unique."

Xiao Zhi said blankly, "Really? I didn't see that coming."

Citron: ...

Anjie took out the steamed green rice dumplings at home, planning to give them to Mount Goat, Mount Lamb, and Big Milk Pot to try later.

Meanwhile, Diancie sat at her doorstep, brushing Mare the sheep's wool again and again with a brush, making Mare's snow-white fur shiny and fluffy.

After spending some time together, Mare has completely adapted to Diancie's presence. Perhaps because of Diancie's meticulous care, it is now very attached to Diancie. Wherever Diancie goes, it will quietly follow, although it still doesn't say a word.

Just then, Bricaron descended from the sky.

"What's wrong, Bricaron?"

Seeing Bricaron's flustered appearance, Tianxi asked in confusion.

"Rika~ Rika~"

Bricaron gestured and described, and when Diancie understood, a look of shock appeared on her face. She shouted into the house:

"Angie, come out quick! Another Diancie has appeared here!"

Anjie, still holding a plate of qingtuan (a type of glutinous rice dumpling), came out upon hearing the noise and looked at Tianxi with a bewildered expression, saying:

"You're kidding, right?"

"Ask Bricaron!" Tianci said, pointing at Bricaron.

"Rika~ Rika~"

Bricaron nodded and told Ange about the sudden appearance of the other Diancie.

After hearing this, Anjie quickly put down the plate in her hand, took off her apron, and said, "Let's go take a look."

After saying that, he called out to Munchlax and Lizard in the kitchen, "Mumplax, Lizard, I have to go out for a bit."

"Gang~"

"Chirp~"

The responses came from the kitchen from Munchlax and Lizard.

After leaving the house, Anjie found the Super Powerful Ostrich. He and Tianxi rode on it, and the Super Powerful Ostrich carried them all the way to the riverbank.

Upon arriving at the destination and seeing the people who had arrived, he exclaimed in surprise, "Ash, Clemont, Serena, Bonnie?"

Ash and his friends exclaimed in surprise, "Mr. Angie?"

The three little diamonds, Maggie, excitedly followed suit, shouting, "Lord Anjie!"

I recommend a book by a renowned author: "The Mind Master of the Elf World".
