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

Chapter 150 Catching the International Thief

Anjie climbed off the Super-Powered Egret and asked in confusion, "Xiao Zhi, what are you guys doing here?"

Xiao Zhi also said, "Mr. Anjie, so you're the owner of this place?"

Anjie nodded and said, "Yes!"

Ash replied, "We came here with Diancie to search for Xerneas."

Upon hearing this, Anjie looked at the other Tianxi who was staring at her own Tianxi.

Magima, Knight, and Juk were also stunned. They looked at Ange's Tianxi for a moment, then at their own princess, and muttered to themselves:

"There are two princesses!"

Who would have thought that besides the Mining Kingdom, there would be a princess from the Mining Kingdom? Generally speaking, only with the Mining Kingdom's vast collection of small diamonds is there a chance of the mutant Diancie appearing.

"Um... hello!" Ange's Tianxi spoke first.

"Greetings!" The princess of the Mining Kingdom looked at Ange's Diancie with curious eyes and greeted her in return.

Both being Diancie, the Diancie from the Ange family, who have lived among humans for a long time, is clearly more humane, while the princess from the Land of Mines is more innocent and naive.

At that moment, Majima, along with Knight and Juk, jumped to Anje's side.

"Lord Anjie, we meet again."

Anjie smiled and said, "Oh, it's you guys!"

The three small diamonds nodded repeatedly, and Knight stepped forward, saying, "It's truly an honor to meet Lord Anger again!"

Anjie said, "I am also honored. I didn't expect you to be Tianxi's subordinates."

"We are truly surprised to learn that Lord Ange also has a princess by his side," said Juk.

Magima and Knight nodded repeatedly.

Anjie said, "I was also surprised to encounter a second Diancie."

At this moment, Serena asked curiously, "So Mr. Anger and Maggie and the others know each other!"

Majima explained, "Lord Anjie is the person I mentioned before, who saved us and gave us food. Without Lord Anjie's help, we wouldn't have been able to find the princess so quickly."

"So that's how it is."

Xiao Zhi and the others suddenly realized what he meant.

"How did you end up on the Nibel Plateau?" Ange asked, puzzled.

Citron explained, "It's like this..."

It turns out that the Mineral Kingdom where Diancie lives is a vast underground world that exists all over the world, inhabited by a large number of small diamonds, and the ruler of all the small diamonds is Diancie.

The Kingdom of Minerals exists because it is supported by the sacred diamonds created by Diancie.

However, after many years, the sacred diamond that supported the mineral kingdom finally came to the end of its life, but the newly born Diancie had not yet mastered the ability to create new sacred diamonds.

If the method of creating sacred diamonds is not mastered as soon as possible, the entire mineral kingdom will be destroyed due to the loss of energy, and a large number of small diamonds will lose their protection and become homeless.

To create a sacred diamond, one needs to comprehend the fairy aura, and the easiest way to do so is to seek Xerneas's help.

So, on the advice of the Minister of Diamonds, Diancie left the Land of Minerals and embarked on a journey to find Xerneas with Magima, Knight, and Juk.

Along the way, Diancie was targeted by thieves because of her rarity and special abilities, but was eventually rescued by Ash and his friends. Ash and his friends then decided to help Diancie find Xerneas.

Diancie has the ability to sense fairy auras, and wherever Xerneas goes, there will be lingering traces of fairy auras.

Following the lingering fairy aura, Diancie led Ash and his friends all the way to the Nibel Plateau.

After hearing Citron's explanation, Ange said, "I see... Xerneas did indeed come to the Nibel Plateau."

Upon hearing Ange's words, Diancie and Ash's group all showed surprise and delight.

But before they could even celebrate for three seconds, Ange added, "But Xerneas has already left!"

"Ah? How could this happen!" Xiao Zhi cried out in despair.

Diancie and the little diamonds also looked disappointed.

Seeing that Ash and his friends, along with Diancie, looked dejected, Angie suggested, "Why don't you all come to my house for a bit? You must all be tired after all this traveling!"

"Great! Great!" Yurika exclaimed excitedly, raising her hand. "I want to see what Mr. Ange's house is like!"

Ash and his friends exchanged glances with Diancie and finally agreed to Ange's suggestion.

"Then let's go, follow me."

With that, Anjay and her Diancie flipped over and mounted the back of the Psychic Rumblebee, leading the way for Ash and the others.

Ash and his friends followed behind Angela. Serena saw that Psychic Rhyperior was a Pokémon she had never seen before, so she took out her Pokédex and pointed it at it.

The illustration of the Super Powerful Ostrich immediately appeared on the map, along with an introduction to the Super Powerful Ostrich.

"Psychic Rumblebee, the Pokémon of the ostrich, is a Psychic-type Pokémon. It is the evolved form of Rumblebee, and its large eyes emit spiritual power that renders its opponents immobile."

It also releases spiritual power from the gaps in the colorful ruffles, allowing it to run at a speed of 200 kilometers per hour.

Contrary to his appearance, he has a very violent personality.

After hearing the Pokédex description, Ash and his friends were very surprised, completely unable to imagine that the beautiful Psychic Rhyperior was actually a ferocious Pokémon.

Upon hearing the Pokédex's voice, Psychic Rumblebee turned around and glanced at Ash and the others, its large eyes sparkling.

Serena trembled with fear.

Ash wasn't scared at all; he excitedly exclaimed, "A Pokémon I've never seen before!"

Serena exclaimed in surprise, "Huh? Ash hasn't seen this before?" In her eyes, Ash was a very skilled and knowledgeable trainer, and she never expected that Ash wouldn't recognize this Pokémon.

Upon hearing this, Anjie laughed and explained, "Super Egrets mostly inhabit the Padiya region, and they are not so easy to see in other areas."

I remember Ash is from the Kanto region, and he probably hasn't been to the Padina region, so it's normal that he doesn't recognize Psychic Rumble.

"So that's how it is," the group realized, and Ash silently memorized the Padilla region.

Citron gazed at the surrounding orchards, some trees still in bloom, others already bearing thumb-sized fruits, and beautiful butterflies fluttering among them. He asked Ange:

"Mr. Anjie, did you plant all these fruit trees?"

Anjie nodded and replied, "Yes! But basically, Pokémon does all the work for me; I'm just reaping the benefits."

Citron nodded.

Led by Anjie, the group quickly passed through the orchard and officially entered the Nibel Plateau.

As Ash and Diancie entered the Nibel Plateau, a single-bladed sword silently followed them in.

Meanwhile, some distance from the Nibel Plateau, on a spaceship, a father and daughter were monitoring Diancie's every move through a monosword sheath.

"Daddy, another Diancie has appeared!" said daughter Milis in surprise.

Argas, who had been lazily leaning back in his chair eating chocolate, suddenly sat up straight and exclaimed in surprise, "Two Diancie?"

Milis nodded and said, "Yes!"

Argais exclaimed excitedly, "Then we're going to be rich!"

Diancie possesses the ability to create diamonds; whoever obtains Diancie will have an endless stream of wealth.

However, the father and daughter were well aware that before mastering the fairy aura, the diamonds created by Diancie would disappear after a period of time, making them meaningless.

So they followed Diancie all the way, not in a hurry to make a move, and even helped her when she encountered difficulties, just waiting for Diancie to find Xerneas and learn the Fairy Aura before they would make their move to capture Diancie.

Milis frowned and said, "But the second Diancie seems to have a trainer!"

Argais exclaimed in surprise, "I never expected anyone could subdue Diancie, but..."

A sinister smile crept across his face as he spoke. "So what if you have trainers? Have you forgotten who we are?"

Upon hearing this, Milis laughed.

Yes, they are the notorious thief Stiyl!

Stiyl is the surname of Milis and her father, Argais.

On the way back, Ange encountered Infernape patrolling with Hippowdon, Hippowdon, Cthora, and Diglett. He waved to the Pokémon, and Infernape immediately came over with the Pokémon.

Seeing Infernape, Ash's face showed a hint of nostalgia, because he also owned an Infernape.

Anjaw beckoned to Infernape, who looked puzzled for a moment, but still came closer to Anjaw.

Anjie glanced at the sky, then whispered something in Infernape's ear. Infernape looked at the sky in surprise, and the next second it suddenly leaped into the air, easily jumping up and throwing a punch at the empty sky.

Flame Fist!

Sparks burst in the air, followed by a scream. A single sword sheath appeared out of thin air and wobbled as it fell to the ground.

Meanwhile, Milis and Arges were observing everything on the Nibel Plateau through their monosword sheaths, but as the monosword sheaths were knocked down, their monitors went blank.

Although the single sword sheath can become invisible, the wave it emits cannot be hidden, so Anjie discovered it immediately.

The Infernape tossed the scabbard at Ange's feet, then led the Hippodrome and the others on their patrol.

Anjie picked up the unconscious sword sheath and, after searching its body, indeed found a shattered camera.

Citron frowned and asked, "Mr. Anger, this single-edged sword sheath..."

Anjie retorted, "Haven't you realized you've been watched? This single-edged sword sheath has probably been following you the whole time!"

Ash and his friends were shocked upon hearing this, and they looked at each other in bewilderment, having not noticed anything amiss.

"Could it be them?" Serena guessed.

"Who do you mean?" Angie asked.

"It's a man and a woman, one dressed as a ninja and the other as a mage, chasing after Diancie. They're supposedly notorious thieves," Citron explained.

In fact, Cellon refers to the notorious thieves Lyle and Marilin, who also had their eyes on Diancie and had attacked her multiple times along the way.

It was the father and daughter, Millis, who helped Diancie escape their entanglement.

"It's definitely them!" Ash said decisively.

In Ash's and his friends' eyes, the father and daughter, Millie, who had helped them before, were good people, so he didn't suspect them at all.

Ange was unaware of the existence of Milis and her father, and naturally assumed that the single sword sheath was the work of the ninja thief and the magician thief that Citron had mentioned.

However, he didn't take it to heart and said to Ash and the others with a smile, "Let's go."

Xiao Zhi and his friends nodded and followed An Jie home.

On Milis's side.

"Daddy, what do we do? The scabbard has been taken!" Milis cried anxiously.

Argais stood up from his chair and said, "Let's go, let's go and get the scabbard back."

At this moment, a shield-wielding sword monster and a double-scabbard monster appeared on either side of Argais, firmly expressing their support for him.

Like the Monoblos, they are Argas's Pokémon and have made great contributions to Argas's life as a thief, so Argas absolutely cannot give up the Monoblos.

"Let's go!"

Milis had no objection to her father's decision.

Although they were thieves, they treated their Pokémon no differently than any other trainer.

Pokémon are their companions and family!

Then Milis piloted the spaceship toward the Nibel Plateau.

Milis and Arges's spaceship possessed stealth capabilities, so when it flew into the Nibel Plateau, the patrolling Arrowhawks, M'K Eagles, and Altarias did not detect its presence.

However, not long after the spaceship entered the Nibel Plateau, Polcanion, who was resting on the grass, suddenly raised his head.

Although it couldn't see the spaceship, it had an incredibly keen sense of airflow, and the airflow generated by the spaceship caught its attention.

There are intruders! Polden thought to himself.

As the spaceship flew directly above Bolcanion, Bolcanion released its arms behind its back, and a large amount of true energy erupted from it. The next second, it shot into the sky and landed on the spaceship, causing it to shake violently.

"What's going on?" Argais asked.

"It looks like a Pokémon is attacking us!" Milis struggled to control the spaceship.

However, Polcanion had already launched an attack on the spaceship. Large amounts of flames surged from its arms, forming rings of fire that surrounded the entire spaceship.

It's a vortex of fire!

"How could a Pokémon possibly discover us!" Argas's face turned grim.

"I don't know either!" Milis frantically wiped the sweat from her forehead.

The ship's stealth was broken by the flames, and the high temperature forced Milis and Arges inside the ship to steer it to a landing.

As soon as the spaceship landed, Infernape and the others surrounded it, while Arrowhawk, Starhawk, and Altaria also blocked the spaceship from the air after hearing the commotion.

Volcanion said to the Pokémon, "You keep an eye on it, I'll go inform Ange."

It didn't attack the people inside the spaceship, but instead planned to leave it to the other Pokémon to handle. It was time for the younger ones to experience real combat!

The Pokémon nodded in agreement.

As soon as Volcanion left, Milis and her father came out of the spaceship, thoroughly exhausted by Volcanion's intense heat.

Upon realizing they were surrounded, Millis and her father understood the danger and immediately decided to break out and escape.

"Steel Shield Swordsman, Shadow Sneak Attack!"

As Argais finished speaking, a long shadow extended from Aegislash, silently circled behind Infernape, and struck Infernape on the back.

Infernape staggered after being hit.

Aegislash tried to continue its attack, but Hippomon leaped up and used its Crush skill to bite Aegislash, stopping its advance.

Seeing this, the two sword sheaths beside him drew their swords and used a hidden attack to strike the hippopotamus, trying to save the shielded sword monster.

At this moment, the Screw Mole jumped high into the air and used its Shadow Claw to grab the Twin Swords Sheath, knocking the Twin Swords Sheath away.

Having followed Metagross for so long, Screw Mole is no pushover either.

Seeing that her father's two Pokémon were losing, Milis immediately took out a Poké Ball, and with a flash of red light, her Bricaron appeared outside.

Bricaron didn't even need the trainer's command; he swung out two vine whips, bound the Diglett, and flung it away.

Seeing this, the Muck Eagle in the air quickly flew over and caught the Screw Mole.

The two Tanabata birds simultaneously used their freezing beams, spitting out two white rays that struck Bricaron.

Bricaron crossed his arms in front of him, his body sprouting numerous green spikes, which blocked the attack of the two Altaria.

It's spiked defense!

Infernape was furious after being ambushed by Aegislash, and immediately used Flamethrower to attack Aegislash with flames.

Seeing this, the Shielded Sword Monster quickly shed the hippopotamus on its body and used the King's Shield to protect Milis and Argas behind it.

As Twinblade attempted to attack Infernape, Hippowdon stepped forward, leaping up and tackling Twinblade to the ground. It then opened its mouth and used its Crush move to bite Twinblade.

The Dark-type Crush move is doubly effective against Dual Blades, instantly injuring Dual Blades.

"Double sword sheaths!" Argais shouted anxiously.

At this moment, the hippopotamus also pounced over, using the ground-type move Stomp, which is also effective against Twin Sheaths, and stomped hard on Twin Sheaths.

The two sword sheaths immediately lost their ability to fight.

Infernape had already darted in front of Aegislash and was using Fire Punch to pound its shield again and again.

While the King's Shield offers strong defense, its success rate decreases with repeated use.

Finally, under Infernape's sustained attacks, Aegislash's King Shield was broken.

At that moment, the Arrowhawk descended from the sky, its entire body covered in raging flames, and crashed heavily into the Shielded Sword Monster.

It uses the fire-type physical attack, Flame Charge.

The Shielded Sword Monster let out a mournful cry and fell to the ground.

Seeing this, Infernape jumped up without hesitation, mounted Aegislash, and delivered a Fire Punch to it.

Fire-type moves are super effective against Steel-type Aegislash, which immediately renders Aegislash unable to fight.

The situation on Bricaron's side is similar to that of the Shielded Swordsman; Spike Defense is a skill whose success rate decreases the more times it is used.

With the two Altarias relentlessly bombarding him with freezing beams, Bricaron could do nothing but defend.

Finally, after multiple uses of Spikes Defense, Bricaron made a mistake and was hit by two freezing beams at the same time, instantly turning into an ice sculpture.

Seeing this, Milis and Argais sat down on the ground in despair.

At this moment, several vine whips appeared and tightly bound the father and daughter. It turned out that their mounts, the goat and the lamb, had come running after hearing the commotion.

On Ange's side, he had just brought Xiaozhi and the others home and hadn't even had a chance to sit down when he heard Volcanion shouting outside.

"Anjie! Anjie! Are you home? Come out quickly!"

Upon hearing the voice inside the house, Ange said, "It's Polcanion's voice."

He then said to Ash and the others, "Wait a moment, I'll go out and take a look."

Porkenion? Who's that?

After thinking about it, Xiao Zhi and his friends, out of curiosity, followed An Jie outside.

"What's wrong, Polcanion?" Ange asked, puzzled.

On the second floor, Magiana, who was practicing making desserts in the kitchen, poked her head out to check the situation after hearing Polcanion's voice. She was wearing a floral apron.

"Invaders came to the plateau," said Polcanion. "I've captured them. Come with me to see!"

Ash and his friends were very surprised to see Volcanion, a Pokémon they had never seen before. Ash and Serena simultaneously took out their Pokédex and pointed it at Volcanion, but the Pokédex spoke up:

"No data available."

Ash, Serena, and Clemont exchanged a shocked glance.

Upon hearing Polcanion's words, Ange exclaimed in surprise, "Intruders?"

Polden nodded, and said with certainty:

"They've brought a stealth spaceship, acting suspiciously. They're definitely up to no good. I can't be wrong!"

"Come on, I'll go with you to take a look!" Anjie said.

Polcanion nodded, turned around and walked ahead to lead the way for Ange.

Anjie called upstairs, "Metamorphoses, could you come out and come with me?"

Since they were intruders, Ange decided to bring Metagross along just in case.

"Meta~"

Upon hearing Angie's voice, the Metagross, who was preparing lessons inside, flew out from the balcony with Bubo sitting on its head.

"Bu~Bu~"

Bubo waved happily to Anjie.

"Let's go!" Anjie said.

Seeing this, Xiao Zhi and the others quickly followed, so that they could help Mr. An Jie if he encountered any trouble.

When Anjie and the others arrived at the scene, they saw that Milis and Argais were bound by rattan whips, which wrapped around their necks three times to the left and three times to the right.

Ash and his friends were all shocked when they saw Milis.

"Why is it you...?"

Citron looked at Ange and said, "Mr. Ange, isn't there some misunderstanding? This young lady helped us before; she doesn't seem like a bad person."

Millis, as if grasping at a straw, quickly explained:

"Yes, we're not bad people. We just happened to be passing by when we were attacked by the Pokémon here for no reason, and our spaceship was destroyed."

"Is that so?" Anjie looked at the father and daughter with a half-smile. "Whether you're bad people or not is easy to tell."

As he spoke, Anjie waved to the rocket bird in the sky. The rocket bird immediately flew to Anjie, whispered a few words in its ear, and then the rocket bird flapped its wings and flew away.

A moment later, Finch flew over carrying Ralts and placed Ralts next to Millies and Argas.

"Come on, tell me again, are you bad people or not?" Anjie said.

Ralts can easily sense whether someone is lying.

The father and daughter fell silent.

At this moment, Metagross, controlling Robert 2, walked over. Robert 2 emitted two beams of light from its eyes and shone them on Millis and her father, scanning their photos into the computer and comparing them with information on the internet.

The Metagross has a strong ability to filter information online, and soon Robert 2 said:

"Relevant information about the two individuals has been found."

Female, Millice Steel, 16 years old, one of the Steel Bandits, her father is Argus Steel.

Male, Algais Steel, 41 years old, one of the Steel Bandits, daughter is Millis Steel.

"Stiyl the Thief, an international thief, an internationally wanted criminal, who has committed thefts while on the run..."

After hearing what Robert No. 2 said, Ash and his friends looked at Millie and her father in disbelief.

"So you've been eyeing Diancie from the very beginning? And you helped us because you had ulterior motives?" Serena asked.

Seeing that her identity had been exposed, Milis recklessly said, "That's right!" She blurted out all the reasons why she had helped Ash and his friends and Diancie.

Xiao Zhi and the others were dumbfounded after hearing this.

Seeing this, Anjie said, "Alright, let's leave these two to Officer Jenny's to handle!"

As he spoke, he dialed Jerami's number.

Soon Jerami brought Officer Jenny to the Nibel Plateau.
