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

Chapter 162 I found an egg, but what kind of egg was it?

After leaving Dark Grey City, Ange led Bubo into Mount Tsukimi.

Once you cross Mt. Tsukimi and head north, you'll reach Lota City, which Ash mentioned.

To the north of Mount Tsukimi lies an endless mountain range, and Rota City is hidden within it.

Mount Tsukimi is steep and difficult to cross directly, but it has many tunnels inside. By going through the tunnels, you can successfully cross Mount Tsukimi.

However, this does not mean that crossing Mt. Tsukimi is without difficulty, as the tunnel is inhabited by a large number of wild Pokémon, and if you accidentally disturb them, you will definitely be attacked by them.

Anjie led Butubo on a stroll along the mountain path of Mount Tsukimi. Butubo skipped and hopped along the way, humming a song with an unclear melody, clearly in a very good mood.

It was very happy to be able to go out and play with Anjie.

When it encounters Pokémon such as Geodude, Paras, and Butterfree along the way, it will wave its paws and greet them with a smile.

Of course, most wild Pokémon won't respond to it; instead, they'll run away the moment they see Ange.

Occasionally, one or two Pokémon would respond to it blankly, making it happy for a long time. Then it would chatter and tell Angel about its joy.

Seeing Bu Tubo so happy, An Jie's mood improved as well.

Soon, the first tunnel appeared in front of Anjie and Butubo.

It was pitch black inside the tunnel, and you couldn't see anything at all.

"Bubo~ Bubo~"

Bubo ran quickly into the tunnel and then ran out just as quickly, patting his chest with a frightened expression.

"Bubo~" It's so dark, so dark!

"What are you afraid of? Let's go in," Anjie said with a smile.

According to what he learned online, it's best not to use lighting tools in the tunnels of Mount Tsukimi because they are home to a large number of supersonic bats.

Supersonic bats dislike strong light. They're sleeping soundly inside, and if you try to shake a light on them, who else would they attack but you!

Everyone has a bit of morning grumpiness!

Busubo nervously tugged at Anjie's trouser leg and walked into the tunnel, looking around anxiously.

The tunnel was not only dark but also extremely quiet, with only occasional rustling sounds—sometimes the sound of stones rolling down, sometimes the sound of wings flapping…

At the slightest sound, Butubo would jump in surprise and then cling tightly to Anjie's leg.

An Jie said, both amused and exasperated, "How can you become a master like this?"

"Bubo~Bubo~" It's okay to not do it for now.

"I speak with a straight face," said Butupo confidently.

"You're always right," Anjie said helplessly, shaking her head.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, An Jie and his companions saw a glimmer of light ahead.

"Bubo~Bubo~" is the exit.

"I can't breathe!" Butup shouted excitedly and immediately ran toward the exit.

However, at that moment, a violent tremor suddenly occurred, followed by a shaking of the tunnel, and rubble and debris fell from the ceiling.

"Squeak squeak squeak~~"

A sharp cry followed, and countless supersonic bats flew out of the depths of the tunnel in a panic.

The tremor had clearly startled them.

Mistaking Angel and Butterfree for the source of the vibrations, the Zubats attacked Angel and Butterfree as they flew away.

The ultrasonic waves made Anjie and Butubo's heads ache.

"Bu Bo~~"

Butubo roared angrily, its whole body bursting with golden light, and bolts of electricity spread out from it, landing on the super bat.

These supersonic bats were all of very low rank, and they were immediately electrocuted and fell to the ground one after another.

The vibrations in the cave continued, and supersonic bats were still flying out from deep within the tunnel.

Seeing this, Anjie picked up the cloth and ran outside.

Only after they exited the cave were they free from the supersonic bats' attack, and at the same time, Ange finally learned where the vibrations in the tunnel were coming from.

Outside the tunnel, a super-armored rhinoceros was frantically ramming its head against the mountain, shattering rocks and causing the tunnel to vibrate.

It was an utterly undeserved disaster; Anjie's head is still spinning!

If the super-armored rhinoceros continues to crash like this, won't the tunnel collapse?

Anja was furious. He took out a Poké Ball, released Metagross, and said, "Metagross, teach that Rhyperior a lesson!"

"Meta~"

Metagross nodded, its four arms gleaming with metallic light, and used Comet Punch to charge rapidly towards the Super Armored Rhinoceros.

Upon noticing Metagross, the Super Armored Rhino roared to the sky, its single horn spinning rapidly as it strode heavily toward Metagross.

It uses the Ground-type move Drill Rush.

boom!!!

With a loud bang, the two Pokémon collided.

Although the Super Armored Rhinoceros was not weak, it was no match for Metagross. It was sent flying by Metagross's Comet Punch in just one exchange.

With a sudden tremor, the massive and heavy body of the Super Armored Rhinoceros smashed a large crater into the ground.

The difference in strength did not deter the Super Armored Rhinoceros. It quickly got up from the ground, roared again, and then controlled a pile of rocks to smash towards Metagross.

That's the Rock-type move, Falling Rocks.

At this moment, Anjie finally noticed that something was wrong with the Super Armored Rhinoceros; it seemed to have... fallen into a state of chaos.

In this situation, we have no choice but to defeat it.

"Metamorphosis, defeat the Super Armored Rhinoceros!" Ange shouted.

"Meta~"

Metagross nodded and used High Speed ​​Shift, quickly dodging the falling rocks created by the Super Armored Rhinoceros while inching closer to it.

When it reached the Super Armored Rhinoceros, the Metagross's four arms danced in afterimages as it unleashed a barrage of Comet Fists.

Finally, the Super Armored Rhinoceros was defeated and fell.

Just as An Jie was about to go forward to check the situation, a sudden exclamation rang out.

"Super Armored Rhino!"

A young man, carrying a large steel snake, rushed towards the Super Armored Rhinoceros, his face full of worry.

So this super armored rhinoceros already had an owner! Anjie suddenly realized, no wonder there was a super armored rhinoceros in the wild!

Anjie spoke up at the right moment, saying to the boy, "It just fainted; it's not seriously injured."

Upon hearing this, the boy looked at An Jie and said gratefully, "Thank you for stopping the Super Armored Rhinoceros."

Anjie shook his head. "You're welcome." He then took out some medicine and a persimmon and handed them to the boy.

"Let's treat the Super Armored Rhino's injuries, and this persimmon can remove the Super Armored Rhino's confused state."

"Thank you." The boy gratefully accepted the medicine and tree fruit, and chatted with Anjie while treating the Super Armored Rhinoceros's injuries.

Through conversation, Anjie was surprised to learn that the boy's name was Jiro, and that he was actually the acting gym leader of the Pewter City Gym.

His older brother Brock is the official Gym Leader, but because he is currently away training as a Pokémon Doctor, his younger brother Jiro is serving as the acting Gym Leader.

The Steelix next to Jiro is Brock's Pokémon, while Rhyperior is his own Pokémon.

He often brings Steelix and Rhyperior to Mt. Moon for training.

Today, a Super-Armored Rhinoceros was hit by a wild Crobat's ultrasonic wave during a battle, causing it to become confused.

After the Rhyperior became confused, Crobat took the opportunity to run away, and Rhyperior followed suit, running around in all directions. Jiro almost lost track of it.

Fortunately, Anjie appeared in time and stopped it.

The Super Armored Rhinoceros wasn't seriously injured. After taking medicine and some persimmons, it quickly woke up and apologized to Anjie for its earlier outburst.

Since it didn't do it on purpose, Anjie naturally forgave it.

To express his gratitude to Ange, Jiro asked, "Mr. Ange, would you like a Moonstone?"

Anjie remembered that there were rumors online that moonstones could be found on Mount Tsukimi, so she asked, "Do you know where there are?"

Tsering nodded and said, "I accidentally discovered a cave containing a moonstone. If you'd like, I can take you there to dig it up."

Anjie remembered that Skitty needed a Moon Stone to evolve into Elegant, so he nodded and said, "Then I'll trouble you."

"No trouble at all," Jiro said, shaking his head. "Mr. Anjie, come with me."

Jiro was very familiar with the situation at Mount Tsukimi, and under his guidance, Anjie arrived at the entrance to a hidden cave.

The cave was hidden beneath a cliff, concealed by layers of vines. If it weren't for Cilang leading the way, Anjie would never have discovered it.

"Mr. Anjie, this is it, let's go in!" Jiro said, pushing aside the vines.

"Okay." Anjie nodded and followed Jiro inside with Butubo and Megalodon.

There are no superbats living in this cave, only some Geodude and Graveler. When they see Angie and her group, they do not approach rashly, but choose to stay far away.

Once they reached the depths of the cave, Cilang took out a set of mining equipment from his backpack and handed it to Anjie.

"Mr. Anjie, please use this."

Anjie said in surprise, "You brought this to training?"

Jiro scratched his head sheepishly, "Sometimes I dig up some ore and bring it back as food for the Super Armored Rhino and my brother's Steelix."

"I see." Anjie smiled and accepted the prop from Jiro.

"Let's begin," Jiro said.

Anjie nodded. It was his first time mining, and he had no experience, so he just did exactly what Cilang did.

Steelix, Rhyperior, Bulbasaur, and Metagross all stepped in to help.

After digging for a while, Tsering suddenly exclaimed, "Mr. Ange, look!"

Anjie looked over upon hearing the sound and saw that Cilang was holding a bluish-black stone in his raised hand. What else could it be but the Moon Stone?

"You found it already?" he asked, looking surprised.

"It's not easy to find elsewhere; only I know about this place." Jiro ran to Anjie's side and handed Anjie the Moonstone.

Anjie hesitated and asked, "For me?"

Jiro nodded. "Yes! This is a thank-you gift for you, besides, I don't need it."

He is a trainer who specializes in Rock-type Pokémon, and Rock-type Pokémon do not require the use of Moon Stones.

Anjie thought to himself: Even if I don't need it, I can still exchange it for money!

However, he still accepted Jiro's kindness.

As time went on, Steelix, Rhyperior, Metagross, and Bulbasaur all found Moon Stones, but Ange was the only unlucky one who never found one.

They all gave the Moonstone to Angel.

Seeing that it was getting late, Anjie looked at the five or six moonstones in his backpack and said, "I've had a very fruitful day, let's call it a day, or it'll get dark."

Although he didn't find a single one.

"Okay!" Jiro nodded in agreement. "I should go home too." Otherwise, my younger siblings will worry.

Just as Anjie was about to dig the last shovelful, a strangely shaped stone suddenly fell at his feet.

"This is..." Anjie bent down and picked up the stone.

Seeing this, Jiro came over and exclaimed in surprise, "Mr. Ange, you're so lucky! This is a fossil of an ancient Pokémon. If we send it to the Science Museum in Pewter City, we can revive the fossil Pokémon!"

The technology for reviving ancient fossil Pokémon is now widely used, and Devon Corporation is one of the developers.

"Yeah?"

Although Ange had played the game, he couldn't tell which Pokémon fossil it was for a moment, so he simply stuffed it into Jiro's arms.

"Mr. Anjie?" Cilang asked, looking puzzled.

"This is for you," Anjie said.

"Huh?" Jiro's eyes widened. "Fossil Pokémon are very precious."

Anjie shook her head. "I don't really need it."

"But..." Jiro looked troubled.

Anjie laughed and said, "You gave me all the Moon Stones that you, Steelix, and Rhyperior dug up, and I didn't refuse them, so you shouldn't refuse them either."

Upon hearing this, Tsering could only nod and say, "Then... I'll accept it, thank you, Mr. Ange."

The fossil Pokémon gains the Rock type after being revived, which suits him quite well.

The two then packed their things and left the cave with their Pokémon.

As soon as they left the cave, Cilang bid farewell to Anjie.

Cilang: "Goodbye, Mr. Anjie!"

Anjie waved to Cilang, "Goodbye!"

Before long, Cilang, along with Steelix and Rhyperior, disappeared from Ange's sight.

Turning his gaze away from the distance, Ange said to Butterfly and Metagross, "Let's go too, and try to leave Mt. Moon before dark."

"Meta~"

"Bubo~"

Metagross and Butterfree responded.

However, before Anjie could even lift his foot, he saw Butubo pushing a round sphere forward.

Anjie was stunned. "Butubo, what is that? Where did it come from?"

"Bubo~" I found it in the cave!

As he spoke, Butubo carried the object to Anjie's side.

Anjie took a look and realized that this was not a ball at all, but a Pokémon egg. Judging from the aura it emitted, the egg was still very vigorous.

The egg was pink with purple markings in the middle and smoky patterns at both ends. Angie thought for a long time but still couldn't figure out which Pokémon it was.

Fearing that the egg might be damaged by the burdock, Anjie said, "I'll keep this egg safe."

He then bought an incubator from the system store and put the eggs inside.

Butterfly didn't care, and it didn't particularly want to play with the egg, so after Angie took the egg, it hopped and skipped ahead.

Anjie packed the incubator into a cloth bag, then carried it on his back and followed the ragdoll and Metagross out of Mt. Moon.

Finally, before nightfall, the person and two Pokémon emerged from Mt. Tsukimi.

After finding a suitable valley for camping, Anja said, "Let's stay here for the night!"

"Meta~"

"Bubo~"

Metagross and Buttock nodded, and then set up the tent with Ange.
