Chapter 183 A Lively Barbecue Party: Snorlax's Aura

Soon, Anjie and the others had prepared the ingredients, and Tianxi called out from the doorway.

Upon hearing this, Meowth, Meowth, Gardevoir, Gallade, and Ralts followed Diancie into the kitchen, and soon they came out carrying plates of chopped ingredients.

With vegetables and meat, the table by the door was soon filled to the brim.

After Anja, Munchlax, and Thousand Faces came out, they immediately started grilling for everyone. As time went by, plate after plate of grilled food was brought out and distributed to everyone.

The aroma of barbecue filled the entire square, and people chatted and laughed while enjoying the food, creating a lively scene.

Neither Yveltal nor Xerneas had ever seen such a scene before.

Watching everyone chatting and laughing, they felt incredibly peaceful and serene.

Is this what ordinary life is like?

They couldn't help but look at Anjie, who was surrounded by smoke. They were able to enjoy such a peaceful yet lively life, all thanks to this man!

While Yveltal and Xerneas were enjoying a delicious barbecue, Snorlax didn't forget to serve them some World Tree Tofu.

This is their staple food.

They can't be satisfied no matter how much other food they eat, unless they eat World Tree Tofu.

"Crunch~ Crunch~" Isn't barbecue especially delicious?

The female fragrant porcupine, her mouth dripping with oil, looked up at Xerneas and said.

Xerneas nodded. "It is indeed delicious."

The male fragrant dolphin proudly said, "Grunt~ Grunt~" That's right, Anjie's food is the most delicious in the world!

"Cough cough~ cough cough~" That's it, that's it!

The female dolphin nodded in agreement.

Yveltal was also bustling with activity, with the raven leader and the dark ravens serving Yveltal attentively, bringing him plate after plate of food to enjoy.

Seeing that the turbaned rascal, the mischievous panda, and the skunk were ignoring Yveltal and feasting on their food, the raven leader immediately became angry and said:

"As Lord Yveltal's servants, how dare you eat first?"

The thugs with headscarves had half-stuffed their barbecue in their mouths, their faces blank with confusion.

Attendant? Who?

Seeing the three of them looking dumbfounded, the head crow jumped up and down in anger, calling them useless fellows!

The three hooded thugs continued eating on their own, while the raven leader and the dark ravens only started eating after serving Yveltal properly.

As soon as Yveltal finished eating, a circle of dark energy appeared around him, and the Dark Ravens and their leaders jumped and danced excitedly inside it.

(』) The three—the bandana thug, the mischievous panda, and the skunk—were immediately quite shocked.

Tonight's barbecue is to celebrate the evolution of Crimson Knight, Azure Blade Demon, Elegant Cat, and Marill, so they are the main characters.

Anjie reserved the best parts of the ingredients for them, ensuring they would have a great time tonight.

The throwing monkey didn't forget to bring out its own homemade juices for everyone, including the wine for the tree-pillow koala and the infernape.

Anjie was in a good mood tonight, so he had a few drinks with the Tree Pillow Koala, the Inferno Monkey, and the Throwing Monkey.

Beer and barbecue are a perfect match, so they drank beer, which has a low alcohol content and is less likely to make them drunk.

After taking a big gulp of ice-cold beer, Anjie said cheerfully, "It's a pity that Dream went home, otherwise it would definitely have loved the lively barbecue party."

Tianxi smiled and said, "There will be other opportunities in the future."

Anjie smiled knowingly, "That makes sense."

Just as everyone was singing and dancing, a sudden exclamation caught everyone's attention.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw that the one who exclaimed was Meowth, because the Meowth next to it was emitting a bright light.

"It is the light of evolution," Ange said.

Upon hearing this, everyone held their breath and stared intently at Miao Miao.

Enveloped in blue and white light, the cat's body is growing taller and more slender, and its tail and ears are getting longer and longer.

When the light faded, a brand new Pokémon appeared before everyone.

This is a cat-like Pokémon that walks upright. Its body is mainly white, but the fur on its legs, hands, the base of its tail, its neck, and the top of its head is dark blue.

It looks like a female Mega Cat.

The original Psychic Cats of the Nibel Plateau were male.

Male Psychic Bulbasaur is a cat-like Pokémon that walks upright, but its fur is generally dark blue, with only its hands, feet, tail tip, neck, top of its head, and part of its ears having white fur.

In terms of color distribution, male and female Meowths are opposite.

After completing the evolution, the female Psychic Bulbasaur was still a little dazed.

It raised its hands, looking left and right, until everyone came up to congratulate it, and only then did it realize that it had evolved.

The first thing it did after realizing what was happening was to jump into the arms of the male Mega Meowth to express its gratitude and share its joy.

If it hadn't been for the male Psychic Cat rescuing it from the snow, it would probably have frozen to death outside, let alone live the dreamlike life it has now.

Looking at the female Psychic Cat, Anjie raised his glass and said, "Looks like we have another happy occasion in our family."

Tianxi covered her mouth and chuckled, "Why do I feel like you're making a double entendre?"

Anjie feigned ignorance, "Really?"

In short, the atmosphere at the barbecue party became even more lively thanks to the evolution of the female Psychic Bulbasaur.

Everyone ate and drank until after 10:00 p.m. before gradually heading back.

Gengar and Poliwag returned around 8:00, just in time for the climax of the party.

After the party ended, the Pokémon went back to rest one after another, while Anjai took his apprentices to the training room to train.

After the culinary training, the next step was waveguide training.

As usual, Snorlax, Inteleon, Gengar, and Throwing Monkey still haven't awakened their Aura powers.

When An Jie finished his cultivation and opened his eyes, he saw that his three disciples and the throwing monkey all had furrowed brows, and he couldn't help but feel sorry for them.

As he was looking at it, a sudden idea struck him.

"Oh, right!"

Hearing Anjie's exclamation, the little Snorlax and the others opened their eyes and looked at Anjie in confusion.

Anjie said with a look of surprise, "I can now use the waveguide gloves to emit waves. Why don't I let you experience the waveguide and see if it can help you achieve awakening?"

"Gang~"

"Indeed~"

"Geng~"

"Percy~"

Upon hearing this, Snorlax, Inteleon, Gengar, and Throwing Monkey all showed expressions of surprise and delight.

Especially Snorlax and Inteleon, who have been training in Aura for the longest time, still have no clue and are understandably frustrated.

"Come on, let's do it one by one." With that, Anjie called his three apprentices and the throwing monkey to his side.

Seeing this, Babu Tubo also tried to get closer to Anjie, but Anjie quickly glared at it.

"You've already awakened your Aura, what are you doing here? Go back and cultivate properly."

"Babu~" Babu Tubo had no choice but to sit back down with a wronged look on his face.

After putting on the Aura Gloves, Ange said, "Let's start with Snorlax."

"Gang~" The little Snorlax sat obediently in front of Ange.

Seeing this, Anjie placed his hands on the back of the little Munchlax, and blue-white light emanated from his palms as the power of aura seeped into the little Munchlax's body.

"How is it? Little Snorlax, can you feel my aura?" Angel asked softly.

"G- ...

It sensed it, it really sensed it!

So that's what waveguides are like!

The master's waveguide power made it feel very warm.

Ange continued softly to the little Snorlax, "Don't get excited, keep your emotions calm, and carefully sense the Aura."

The little Snorlax nodded, took a deep breath, tried to calm itself, and then felt its master's aura flowing through its entire body.

After an unknown amount of time, Anjai withdrew his hand from the Snorlax. The Snorlax closed its eyes tightly, as if it had entered a special state.

Not wanting to disturb Snorlax, Ange lowered her voice and said to Inteleon, "It's your turn."

The Thousand-Faced Beast nodded excitedly, then sat cross-legged in front of Anjie.

Anja used the same method to help Inteleon. After a long time, Inteleon seemed to be deep in thought, but it did not enter a state of complete focus like Munchlax.

Anjie patted its shoulder and said, "Take your time to figure it out. I'm going to help Gengar."

Then Anjac used the same method to help Gengar and Throwing Monkey.

However, Gengar and Throwing Monkey were in a similar state to Inteleon; they were both sitting cross-legged on the ground, looking deep in thought.

Time passed second by second, but Snorlax remained motionless, while Inteleon, Gengar, and Togepi remained frowning and deep in thought.

An hour passed quickly outside, but ten hours passed inside the training room. Today, Anjie and his team went out later than usual.

Halfway through, Porkenion, out of concern, even came over to check on the situation.

Metagross, who had just finished his class at the secret fortress, also came over to check on things. Seeing that Angie and the others were alright, it went back to its room to do its own research.

By this time, Ange and Babu had long since finished their Aura training. They sat side by side on the ground, quietly watching the Snorlax, Inteleon, Gengar, and Throwing Monkey sitting side by side opposite them.

Suddenly, Angel noticed something different about the Snorlax.

If a creature's waveguide hasn't awakened, no matter how powerful its waveguide is, it will appear gray in Ange's perception.

But at this moment, in Ange's perception, Snorlax's aura was like a candle being lit, and the flame grew brighter and brighter, eventually becoming even more eye-catching than the aura emitted by Babubo.

After a while, the little Snorlax suddenly opened its eyes, then grinned widely and happily jumped into Angel's arms.

"G-G-G-Master, I've awakened my Aura! I've awakened my Aura!"

It hugged Anjie's neck and kept acting cute.

Whether or not Aura is awakened, the perception of the outside world is completely different. Therefore, even without verifying with Angel, Munchlax was certain that it had awakened Aura.

"Good, good, good!" Anjie gently patted the little Munchlax's back. "Our little Munchlax is really amazing. Master is so proud of you."

Hearing Anja's praise, Munchlax was even happier and hugged Anja, rubbing its head against her.

"Gang~ Gang~" Master, I'll be able to make top-quality food just like you in the future!

Anjie patted the back of its head and said, "Then you must practice your waveguide skills diligently in the future and strive to achieve perfect control over waveguide as soon as possible."

The stronger one's control over waveguides, the higher the probability of creating top-quality delicacies.

"Gang~ Gang~"

The little Snorlax nodded vigorously, indicating that it would definitely train hard.

After hearing the conversation between Munchlax and Ange, the Thousand Faces and the others all looked on with envy.

My senior brother has awakened his waveguide, but they still have no clue what to do.

Seeing their worried faces, Anjie smiled and said:

"What are you all doing? If you haven't awakened yet, so be it. It's not like you'll never have another chance! If it doesn't work the first time, try the second time. If it doesn't work the second time, try the third time. You'll succeed eventually."

Besides, there's no rule that says you have to awaken Aura to be a chef! So many people in the world haven't awakened Aura, does that mean they shouldn't be chefs?

Anjie's words of comfort brought smiles to the faces of the three Thousand-Faced Avoidants.

"Alright, that's enough for today. Go back and rest. You won't have the energy to work tomorrow if you don't get some rest," Angel said, pulling the little Snorlax to its feet.

"Gang~"

"Indeed~"

……

The Pokémon responded in unison, and Magearna, who was practicing, also stopped her movements.

After leaving the training room, Anjax and the Pokémon went back to their rooms to wash up.

Meanwhile, in the staff dormitory, Xerneas watched TV with everyone for a while, and it was a melodramatic family drama.

Upon witnessing the scene where the female lead was tortured to the point of near death, the living room was filled with sobs.

Especially Curly Ears, Pink Fragrance, Pachirisu, and Ralts, whose eyes were red and swollen from crying.

Only Greninja, Fiery Fox, and Bricaron found it ridiculous and boring.

But just then, Xerneas suddenly said, "This TV series is really interesting."

Greninja, Fiery Fox, and Bricaron all looked at Xerneas in disbelief.

No, Xerneas, do you, a god, like this kind of thing?

In an instant, the filter of Xerneas as the god of life shattered in the eyes of the three Pokémon.

Seeing that it was almost time, the fiery red fox went forward to turn off the TV and said to everyone:

"Alright, everyone, it's time to go and rest."

Everyone sighed and went back to their rooms.

Xerneas also returned to the first floor of the secret fortress via elevator. The bar was very quiet at this time, and it was clear that Yveltal was already asleep.

Yveltal usually sleeps until midnight before flying out to roam the night with the chief raven and the ravens.

Xerneas walked to his sofa, looked at the sleeping Yveltal, and whispered, "Goodnight, old friend!"

After saying that, he crawled into bed and fell into a deep sleep.

However, what Xerneas didn't know was that after it fell asleep, Yveltal opened its eyes and whispered something in return:

Goodnight, old friend.

After taking a comfortable shower, Anjie lay down on the bed contentedly.

However, before going to sleep, he opened the system and planned to accept the daily tasks.

Furthermore, if he hadn't misheard the system notification during the day, he had also earned an achievement today.

Sure enough, the system immediately popped up a notification the moment he opened the taskbar.

"Congratulations, Master, on completing the achievement: The second deity has moved into the territory."

Reward: Master Ball x2.

Seeing this reward, Anjie was extremely disappointed.

Why is the reward only two Master Balls?

While Master Balls are rare and have a 100% catch rate for Pokémon, Angel would prefer rewards like Individual Values ​​(IVs), Constitution Points, or Intelligence Points.

At least these things can make yourself or your Pokémon stronger.

Fine, Master Ball it is!

As far as Anjie knows, the Masterball was originally developed by Silver Company.

However, its special effect of 100% success in capturing Pokémon renders Pokémon battles meaningless and is also detrimental to the improvement of the relationship between Pokémon and humans.

Ultimately, the Master Ball project was halted by the league, and even the manufacturing blueprints and related materials were destroyed by the league. Naturally, the small number of Master Balls that had already been produced became rare items.

As a collectible, the Masterball is indeed a rare and precious item.

After putting away the Master Ball, Anjie started collecting his daily quest rewards.

Daily task 1 reward: a super pendant.

Ok?

He was stunned when he saw the reward; he hadn't expected that a daily quest would actually drop something useful.

However, he was greatly disappointed when he took out the super pendant.

The super pendant was meant to hold a key stone, so Anjie assumed there would be a key stone on it, but it turned out to be just an empty pendant.

hey~~

Forget it, I'll give it to Diancie tomorrow so she can use it to set her Mega Stone, which evolved from a diamond.

Since the Mega Pendant can be inlaid with Key Stones, it should be fine to inlay it with Mega Stones, right?

After carefully storing the super pendant, Anjie went on to claim the second daily quest reward.

Daily Quest 2 Reward: Powerful Fishing Rod (A fishing rod that can easily catch Water-type Pokémon from the water.)

Um... An item was revealed that An Jie found both useful and useless.

It's useful because any angler would definitely love such a powerful fishing rod.

The reason it's useless is because Anjie isn't a fisherman!

It's really a headache.

After putting away his fishing rod, Anjie went on to collect the reward for the last daily quest.

Daily task 3 reward: a sticker.

Okay, the first two rewards were a bit of a surprise, but the last reward was really nothing special.

This sticker is used to stick on a Poké Ball to create special effects when the Pokémon is released. It is a special item for Pokémon Contests.

The stickers come in five effects: cute, cool, strong, beautiful, and smart.

The cute effects are hearts and stars, the cool effects are lines and lightning, the powerful effects are flames and smoke, the clever effects are musical notes and bubbles, and the beautiful effects are flowers and confetti.

The stickers Ange received included every category of five effects, but the problem is he's not a Coordinator!

Anjie casually put the stickers into her backpack, then crawled into bed and fell fast asleep.
