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

Chapter 175 Coming from the Fog, Going Out of the Fog!

When Infernape emerged from the secret fortress, it was already a little dizzy.

Just then, Polcanion finished talking to Magiana and walked out in a good mood.

Upon seeing Infernape, it shouted, "Infernape, wanna play soccer?"

"High-calorie~ Great!"

Infernape was looking to stretch its muscles, so it readily agreed.

The two teams were quickly formed and began a fierce battle, led by Flame Monkey and Porcanion respectively.

Halfway through the match, Volcanion noticed that Infernape was acting strangely today, being much more aggressive than usual.

In the end, the Porcanion team lost to the Infernape team by a narrow margin in today's match.

After the match, Porcanion was completely baffled as to why Infernape was so fierce today.

It wanted to ask Infernape, but Infernape had already disappeared from the field.

After defeating Volcanion, Infernape was in high spirits, turned around and went back to its dormitory to sleep.

Meanwhile, after breakfast, Tan Xiaoshi and Piaoxiangtun were planning to visit Xernias in the Forest of Orian.

"Hey you guys, wait a minute!"

Just then, Snorlax called out to them.

"Clatter~"

"Cough cough~"

The four Pokémon looked at the little Munchlax with a puzzled expression.

"Gang~ Gang~"

Snorlax took a bamboo basket out of its backpack and handed it to Samurai and Politoed.

"Clatter~" What is this?

The obedient little charcoal servant took the bamboo basket and asked.

"Gang~ Gang~"

The little Snorlax explained the contents of the room to the two Pokémon.

The four Pokémon were pleasantly surprised after hearing this, and then jumped and bounced excitedly.

Having obtained something that could save Xerneas, the four Pokémon couldn't wait to deliver it to him.

The little boy carefully protected the basket, riding on the back of the male Scented Piglet, waving goodbye to the little Snorlax as he ran.

"Just now~ Just now~" Be careful on the road, go early and come back early!

The little Snorlax waved and gave instructions.

After watching Charcoal and Scented Pig leave, Snorlax carried a basket to the first floor of the Secret Fortress.

The sun was already high in the sky, but Yveltal was still curled up on the sofa, fast asleep.

"He can sleep even more than me!" the little Snorlax couldn't help but think to itself.

Hearing a noise, Yveltal gently opened one eye, saw that it was Snorlax, and then closed its eyes again.

"Gang~ Gang~" Why didn't you go eat breakfast?

The little Snorlax asked in confusion.

Yveltal kept its eyes closed and didn't speak; it seemed it was about to fall asleep again.

The activities during this period have almost exhausted the life force remaining in its body.

As soon as it opened its eyes this morning, it felt its body was languid.

It was all too familiar with this feeling; it was a sign that it was about to become a cocoon of destruction.

Although eating the food made by Angel and Munchlax every day allows it to absorb a small amount of life force, it is far too little.

Its body has always been operating at a loss.

It had always hoped to eat the same level of food that Angie had given it the first time, but unfortunately, there was no second time.

The miracle it expected did not occur.

Seeing that Yveltal remained silent, Snorlax took the food out of the basket and placed it on the table in front of Yveltal.

"Just now~ Just now~" I brought you breakfast.

The little Snorlax said.

However, Yveltal kept his eyes closed, seemingly uninterested in breakfast.

"Gang~ Gang~" This is something Anjie made especially for you.

The little Snorlax said.

"In order to obtain the ingredients to make this food, Anjie specially went to the faraway Kanto region, and she still hasn't been able to return!"

The little Snorlax told Yveltal how hard it was to get the food in front of it.

Disheartened, Yveltal hadn't planned to eat breakfast anyway, since it was going to fall asleep soon and it didn't matter whether it ate or not.

However, as it listened to Munchlax recount the hardships Angel had endured in obtaining the materials, it finally opened its eyes.

She didn't want the man who had given her hope to waste her efforts.

"Gum~ Gum~" Try it! Try it!

Seeing Yveltal open its eyes, Snorlax happily pushed the plate in front of it and enthusiastically introduced it:

"Gang~ Gang~" The one on the left is sweet, and the one on the right is savory. See which one suits your taste.

Yveltal nodded upon hearing this, opened his mouth, and swallowed one of the World Tree Tofu dishes.

The moment the food entered its mouth, Yveltal realized that today's breakfast was different; a surge of life force coursed through its entire body, filling every cell.

Its whole body was jubilant as its life force was replenished.

This sense of happiness and satisfaction is simply indescribable.

Yveltal's listless spirit was instantly revitalized by this breakfast.

After eating the sweet food, it ate the salty food.

Seeing Yveltal eating so eagerly, Snorlax said with a smile:

"Gum~ Gum~" Isn't it delicious? Anjie worked on it all night last night and didn't get a good night's sleep.

Soon, both servings of World Tree Tofu were completely devoured by Yveltal.

At this moment, it was no longer as listless as before; it looked as if it had been injected with chicken blood and was full of energy.

"Screech~~~" Yveltal stretched out its wings as if yawning and gently flapped them.

"Gang~ Gang~" Do you prefer sweet or savory? I'll bring you some more at noon.

Seeing Yveltal stand up, Snorlax looked up and asked it.

"A cry?" It happened at noon too?

Yveltal looked surprised as it spoke to Munchlax for the first time.

"Just now~" Yes, there are some, not only at noon, but also in the evening, tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow. Anjie has made a lot for you and stored them here.

The little Snorlax answered.

Upon hearing Snorlax's answer, Yveltal's expression shifted for the first time.

I'm happy!

It's exciting!

It's something to look forward to!

The fact that food of this caliber will still be available in the future means that it will no longer have to transform into a cocoon of destruction and slumber due to insufficient life force, nor will it have to draw life force from the outside world and be despised for it?

"唳~~"

Overwhelmed with excitement, Yveltal flapped his wings and flew away.

"Gang~ Gang~" You still haven't told me whether you like sweet or savory flavors!

The little Snorlax angrily chased after it to the door and shouted.

"Screech~~" Sweet!

Yveltal's voice echoed from afar in the sky.

Hearing this, Snorlax went back inside to put away the empty plates and baskets before returning home.

As it walked, it muttered to itself, "G- ...

Yveltal flew high into the sky until it was level with the clouds, stretching its body freely, sometimes soaring high and sometimes low, its movements agile and unrestrained.

It was clearly a god, yet it was the first time it had ever felt what unbridled freedom felt like.

As Yveltar soared through the air, he looked down upon the Nibel Plateau.

On the lush green grass, mountain goats, lambs, and milk cans lie leisurely, either grazing or sleeping.

In the vast expanse of Lake Nebel, Water-type Pokémon frolic and chase after a ball floating on the water.

In the orchard, Bricaron patrols with its large-flowered florid ...

……

Watching all this, Yveltal suddenly felt that this was truly a lovely place.

When your mindset changes, your perspective on things also changes.

"唳~"

As it watched, Yveltal flapped its wings powerfully, creating gusts of wind that stirred up the clouds, while letting out a joyful cry.

Its cry shatters gold and splits rocks, piercing the clouds.

The leader of the crows was resting with his flock of dark crows on two large trees in the middle of the grassland. After hearing the cry, it hesitated for a moment, then flapped its wings and took flight.

"Yami~ Yami~"

The ravens followed closely behind.

The raven leader soon spotted Yveltal soaring freely, his figure so imposing.

This is a deity!

The raven leader couldn't help but feel a sense of longing for Yveltal. It tentatively approached Yveltal until it flew to a position level with Yveltal.

Yveltal glanced at the raven leader, who froze.

However, Yveltal quickly withdrew his gaze, made a rapid descent, and continued to soar freely.

Seeing that Yveltal did not stop him from approaching, the raven leader was overjoyed and quickly landed to follow.

The ravens, of course, followed their leader closely, so they flew around Yveltal.

For a moment, the leader of the crows and the dark crows seemed to have become the guards of the gods.

After a long journey, Charcoal Servant and Fragrant Pig arrived at the Forest of Oruans and met Xernias again.

"You're here again!" Xerneas's voice echoed in the hearts of the four Pokémon.

Charcoal Servant and Fragrant Pig visit Xerneas every now and then, which is why Xerneas said that.

"Clatter~ Clatter~"

"Cough cough~ cough cough~"

The four Pokémon excitedly rushed to Xerneas's side, chattering excitedly to report the good news.

Xerneas, sounding surprised, asked, "You've already found a way?"

"Clatter~ Clatter~"

"Cough cough~ cough cough~"

The four Pokémon nodded vigorously.

After getting off the male fragrant pig's back, the obedient little charcoal servant carefully opened the basket and took out the two plates of World Tree Tofu.

Looking at the bright green food on the plate, Xerneas exclaimed in surprise, "This is the food that can help me recover."

"Clatter~ Clatter~"

The obedient little charcoal servant nodded repeatedly, urging Xerneas to eat quickly.

"Then I won't stand on ceremony," Xerneas said.

A branch extended from its body, lifting up a plate of World Tree Tofu, while a hole appeared in the trunk.

Xerneas controlled the tree roots and poured an entire plate of World Tree Tofu into the tree hole.

The moment the food entered its stomach, Xerneas's entire trunk shone with a bright light, and it couldn't help but exclaim in amazement:

"What amazing food! If I eat it a few more times, I might really recover!"

"Clatter~ Clatter~"

"Cough cough~ cough cough~"

The four Pokémon were overjoyed and excitedly jumped and danced around Xerneas, offering their blessings.

Then Xerneas ate the second plate of World Tree Tofu, which once again replenished its life force.

However, compared to the sweet dish, it still prefers the previous savory one.

After finishing two plates of Yggdrasil Tofu, Xerneas looked even brighter and gratefully thanked the four Pokémon.

Thank you.

The obedient little charcoal servant waved his hand and said, "Chop~ Chop~" No need to thank me, it's all thanks to Anjie.

"Clatter~ Clatter~"

"Cough cough~ cough cough~"

The crybaby Tanjiro and the two fragrant pigs nodded repeatedly, and then they told Xernias about how Angel had traveled all the way to the Kanto region in order to obtain ingredients.

After listening to the four Pokémon's stories, Xerneas sighed deeply.

"You've all worked so hard, especially Anjie."

The four Pokémon shook their heads and came to Xerneas's side, opening their arms to gently embrace its trunk.

At that moment, Xerneas seemed to understand the meaning of a word—warmth.

More than ten days have passed in the blink of an eye. During these days, Yveltal and Xerneas have been able to eat delicious World Tree Tofu every day and at every meal, which has also provided them with a large amount of life-sustaining energy.

Yveltal became increasingly energetic and active on the Nibel Plateau, and the Pokémon grew more and more accustomed to its presence.

Xerneas's body grew brighter and brighter, radiating a rich life force.

For the past ten days or so, Anjie has been staying at the Tree of Beginnings, visiting it every day under the guidance of Dream.

Gradually, he became familiar with the Pokémon here, and even traded his homemade food and Chansey for many of their eggs.

At least for the time being, he won't have to worry about not having any lucky eggs to eat.

Anjie had long since paid back the meal he owed Meng Huan, but he still cooks delicious meals for her every day.

The system was generous; Anjie could freely pick leaves from the Tree of Beginnings, and thus gradually accumulated quite a few leaves in her inventory.

If we don't stock up on more food, what will Yveltal and Xerneas do if they run out of food later!

Anjie's cooking is so delicious that Dream has become completely obsessed. This has made it feel anxious every day lately, wondering how it would survive if Anjie were to leave one day.

If only Anjie would never leave! Sometimes, this thought would flash through my dreamy mind.

One day, while Meng Huan was taking a nap, she suddenly heard people talking behind a big tree. It was the voices of An Jie and Luo Ke.

In the dim light, Meng Huan heard An Jie say, "Leave..."

The word "leave" touched a nerve in Meng Huan's heart, and she suddenly appeared beside An Jie.

"Mew~Mew~" Leaving? You're leaving?

Anjie was startled by the sudden appearance of the dream.

"Weren't you sleeping? Why are you awake?"

"Mew~Mew~" You still haven't answered me. Are you leaving?

Anjie shook her head and said, "It's not me who wants to leave, it's Luo Ke who wants to leave."

Luo Ke, who was standing next to her, nodded and said, "Yes, I'm leaving."

Luo Ke had only temporarily teamed up with An Jie to see the Tree of Origin of the World. Now that it had seen everything it needed to see, it decided to leave.

Hearing Anjie and Luo Ke's words, Meng Huan breathed a huge sigh of relief. It was good that Anjie wasn't leaving.

Having decided to leave, Loke didn't delay and was escorted by Dream all the way out of the Tree of Beginnings.

After learning that Loko was leaving, Babubo, Metagross, and Sneasel all came with Angel to see him off.

Only after sending Loke a considerable distance away from the Tree of Origin did Loke turn to Anjie and the others and say:

"I'll stop here. Even after a thousand miles of travel, we must part ways."

Anjie stepped forward and said, "Okay, take care." As he spoke, he squatted down and gave Luo Ke a hug.

Luo Ke nuzzled her head against An Jie's neck, "Take care, you too."

Having spent so much time with Luo Ke, they had developed a deep friendship. An Jie had considered having Luo Ke by his side, but he quickly remembered Luo Ke's dream.

It wants to travel all over the world.

That's why they met, isn't it?

So now they must separate for this reason as well.

He didn't want to cause Loke to lose her dream because of him. Loke had been trapped in one place for two hundred years, and she deserved to be free.

In fact, Luo Ke had also considered staying with An Jie. She liked An Jie very much, liked the food An Jie made, and liked the companions around An Jie.

But after much deliberation, it gave up.

Liking someone doesn't mean you have to stay by their side, nor does it mean you have to lose yourself.

It has not forgotten its dream; it wants to see the world.

Another point is that it has never forgotten its owner.

Loke pressed its head against Anjie's neck, feeling the warmth from Anjie's skin, and thought:

Perhaps one day it will tire of its life as a wanderer and go looking for Anjie.

After releasing Loke, Anjie gave her own handbag to Loke and said to it:

"This is a space backpack containing some food and medicine. Take it with you on your journey."

Feeling An Jie's concern, a hint of tenderness flashed in Luo Ke's eyes.

"Okay, I'll use it properly."

"Looking forward to seeing you again next time," Anjie said with a smile.

"Looking forward to seeing you again next time."

After saying that, Luo Ke turned and left, eventually disappearing into the mist, just like the night she first met An Jie and the others.

It came from the mist, and it goes back to the mist.

Babu Tubo, standing nearby, couldn't help but shed tears, and unconsciously hugged the equally heartbroken Niula.

During this time, Loko took good care of Sneasel, often giving Sneasel advice on how to get along with Angel and the Pokémon around Angel, which helped Sneasel a lot.

Once Loke's figure had completely disappeared, the two little rascals realized they were hugging the Pokémon they hated most. They then jumped back as if they had been electrocuted, their eyes filled with disgust as they looked at each other.

Niu La: Pshaw, you little slob, you smeared snot all over me!

Babu Tubo: Hmph, you can be sad too? What a hypocrite!
