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

Chapter 188 You sent me to this kind of place as an undercover agent?

Anjie walked a short distance away from Shiba and asked, "Can I train with you guys?"

Upon hearing this, King Shiba stopped what he was doing, and the monstrous strength also stopped.

"Anjie, do you want to learn martial arts?"

Anjie nodded, her face full of anticipation, and said, "Yes, is that okay?"

Shiba nodded and said, "Of course!"

"That's great!" Anjie exclaimed happily.

Shiba is a smart man. When Tianxi invited him to stay today, he guessed that Angie must have some special purpose in inviting him as a guest.

Now that Anjie has proposed to practice martial arts with him, he instantly understands why Anjie invited him.

Shiba thought for a moment and said, "I'm currently looking for a suitable place for special training, and I think the Nibel Plateau is quite good. If you allow me to stay here for a while and provide me with food, I will teach you martial arts."

"No problem!" Anjie nodded repeatedly.

Seeing that Shiba had said that, Anjie understood that he had guessed something, so the two of them kept quiet about it.

Shiba asked, "Angie, have you studied martial arts?"

Anjie shook her head. "I've only seen it online."

The techniques taught online are all just fancy moves; they're not as practical as the ones he figured out on his own.

Upon hearing this, Shiba understood. "Why don't we have a spar first, and I'll check your physical condition?"

"Okay!" Anjie nodded.

Shiba assumed a defensive stance and said to Anja, "Try attacking me."

"Then I won't hold back!" Anjie said, adopting an aggressive stance.

"Come on!" Shiba beckoned.

"Take this!" Anjie said, throwing a punch at Shiba.

Shiba reached out and easily blocked Anjie's attack, then used the momentum to push Anjie back.

"Your strength is good, but you don't know how to use it," Shiba said.

"Then try this move of mine again." With that, Anjie flashed to Shiba's side and swept his foot across.

To be honest, compared to the average person, Angel's speed and strength are outstanding, but compared to Shiba, they are not enough.

Without even looking at Anjie, Shiba raised his arm and caught Anjie's kicking foot, then flung Anjie away.

Since it was just a test of Anjie's physical condition, Shiba didn't use much force, and the thick grass was very soft, so Anjie didn't feel much pain after falling.

Shiba said with some surprise, "Angie, your physical abilities are somewhat beyond my expectations."

Anjie got up from the ground and smiled sheepishly, "It's alright, but I'm nowhere near as good as you, Shiba."

Shiba shook his head; his physical fitness was the result of arduous training day after day, year after year.

"Again!" Shiba said, adopting a defensive stance once more.

"Alright, then let's try my ultimate move again!"

Ange charged toward Shiba again, this time using his Aura power, condensing it in his palm, and then slapping it at Shiba.

Seeing that Anjie's attack was light and easy, Shiba didn't take it seriously at first. However, when Anjie's palm struck him, the seemingly weak palm suddenly generated a powerful impact, forcefully pushing him away.

Shiba stumbled and almost fell to the ground.

He looked at Anjie in disbelief, "That's...?"

An Jie withdrew his hand and said, "It's the power of wave guidance."

"Angie, you've awakened waveguides?" Shiba asked incredulously.

"Yes!" Anjie nodded.

"You're such a pleasant surprise." His tone carried a hint of envy.

Who among those who enjoy fighting games wouldn't want to awaken their Aura power?

"Now that I've awakened the Aura, it would be a waste not to practice martial arts."

At this point, Shiba had developed a fondness for talent and was determined to teach Anjie properly.

"Keep going!" Shiba got into position so that Anja would continue attacking him.

The sparring match between the two attracted a crowd of Pokémon to watch, with Munchlax and Groundhog cheering Angelie on enthusiastically.

"Gang~ Gang~" Master, keep it up! Master, keep it up!

"Babu~ Babu~" Anjie, hit him! Hit him!

After Shiba became wary of Ange's aura, Ange was unable to attack Shiba with her aura in the subsequent sparring sessions.

After an unknown amount of time, Anjie lay panting on the grass, while Shiba remained calm and composed.

Shiba smiled and looked at Anjie, saying, "I know about your situation now. Let's officially begin training starting tomorrow!"

Anjie weakly gave Shiba an OK sign.

And so, Shiba temporarily settled down on the Nibel Plateau.

The next morning, when Anjie got up, he heard a lot of noise outside. He went to the balcony and saw a group of Pokémon training on the grass outside the wall.

Snorlax, Baboon, and Throwing Monkey are gesturing and punching, while two Farfetch'd are constantly waving their shovels.

Not far from where the Pokémon were training, Shiba was talking to Robert 2.

Upon seeing this, Anjie quickly ran into the bathroom to wash up, and then went downstairs as fast as she could.

He ran to Shiba's side and said embarrassedly, "Did I get up too late?"

Shiba shook his head and said, "It's nothing. I just got up too early. I saw that your Pokémon are quite good, so I helped train them."

After learning that Metagross was usually in charge of training the Pokémon, Shiba gave Robert2 some suggestions on training Fighting-type Pokémon.

As for the training of other Pokémon, Shiba didn't say anything more.

"Now that you're here, let's start training," Shiba said to Anja.

The foundation of martial arts is the enhancement of physical fitness. Anjie has good physical fitness and regularly trains, so Shiba skipped this step.

Shiba took out two Poké Balls, and with a flash of light, two Pokémon appeared outside.

The first one was entirely brown, with two very long and powerful legs. As soon as it came out, it kept kicking its legs, which could even extend and retract freely.

This is Hitmonlee, the Pokémon known as the "Kicking Demon".

The second one was wearing light purple armor and red gauntlets, and it kept waving its fists as soon as it appeared.

It is the boxing Pokémon, Hitmonchan.

Both of these Pokémon are evolved forms of Fearless Boy.

Fearless Boy has a third evolution, which is the upside-down Pokémon Hitmonchan.

Shiba pointed to the two Pokémon and said, "These are your training opponents today."

As soon as King Shiba finished speaking, Flying Leg was the first to attack Anjie. Its leg, which could extend and retract at will, kicked Anjie in the face without warning.

Fortunately, Anjie reacted quickly, ducking down to dodge Flying Kick Lang's attack.

However, before he could even feel relieved, Quick Fist attacked again with his fists.

Thud~~

Anjie was unable to dodge in time and was sent flying by a punch.

Shiba stood by with his arms crossed, watching. Seeing that Anjie hadn't dodged the attack from Quick Fist, he immediately shouted:

"Don't just focus on the opponent in front of you, but also pay attention to the surrounding situation at all times."

"Don't you have waveguide powers? Use them!"

His tone was very stern.

Upon hearing this, An Jie immediately turned on the waveguide at full power.

At this moment, Flying Kick and Quick Fist attacked Anjie from the left and right again.

Anjie quickly rolled over to avoid it.

Shiba kept instructing Ange on how to dodge, how to make moves, and how to counterattack when at a disadvantage.

When training ended, Anjie lay on the ground again, completely exhausted. Not only that, but he also had several bruises on his face.

As for his body, it's obvious without even looking that it has more bruises and discoloration.

"Alright, that's enough training for today. Aren't you supposed to go to work in the royal city? Hurry up, or you'll be late," Shiba said.

"Okay..." Anjie replied weakly, then propped herself up from the ground.

"Gang~ Gang~" Seeing this, the little Snorlax from not far away rushed over and helped Angie up with a look of heartache.

After getting up, Anjie patted its head and said, "It's nothing serious, just superficial injuries."

When Babu Tubo saw the bruises on Anjie's face, he angrily swung his fist at Shiba.

wack!

Shiba said, "Learning from me is going to be tough. Anjie, do you still want to learn?"

Anjie nodded and said, "This little bit of hardship is nothing."

Shiba nodded in satisfaction upon hearing this, "Then I look forward to your guidance over the next period of time."

Anjie: "Please give me your guidance."

When Ange returned home, Tianxi saw his condition and felt the same heartache, but she did not try to persuade Ange to give up practicing.

It knew that persuasion was useless; no one understood Anjie better than it.

At this moment, Xerneas walked to Ange's side and threw a healing wave at Ange. The bruises all over Ange's body disappeared instantly, and he felt neither sore nor in pain.

He gratefully thanked Xerneas, saying, "Thank you, Xerneas."

Xerneas shook his head. "It's nothing. It's good that you're ambitious. I'm glad I can help you."

After washing up, Anjie took the Thousand-Faced Avoids to work in the royal city.

As soon as Anjie left, Shiba began his special training.

He not only brought his own Pokémon training, but also Babubo, Throwing Monkey, and two Farfetch'd.

After breakfast, Munchlax joined the special training team on its own initiative.

The master has worked so hard, it can't fall behind.

Shiba took extra care in training Babubo and Munchlax. He checked the two Pokémon's physical condition and felt that they were very suitable for learning fighting techniques.

Therefore, when Ange returned from the royal city, what he saw was Snorlax and Babubo lying on the ground like pancakes.

"What's wrong with them?" Angie asked Tianxi, puzzled.

Tianxi covered her mouth and chuckled, "Ask him yourself."

Upon hearing Angie's voice, Babu Tubo scrambled to his feet and buried his head in Angie's arms. He then began to complain to him, rattling off how Shiba had tormented and mistreated him that morning.

"Babu~ Babu~" He's definitely getting revenge for me glaring at him this morning!

Babu Tubo said with absolute certainty.

"Nonsense!" Anjie tapped its forehead. "You're so good at tattling. I don't think you're tired at all. You're always talking about becoming as strong as the Koala, and now that you have the chance, you don't even know how to cherish it."

"Babu~ Babu~" Babu the groundhog covered his forehead, looking aggrieved.

Anjie then looked at Munchlax and asked, "Mumplax, are you exhausted?"

The little Snorlax slowly got up from the ground, clenched its fists, and said with a determined look:

"Gang~ Gang~" Not tired at all, I'll learn from my master!

Anjie rubbed its head. "It's good to work hard, but don't push yourself too hard."

"Gang~" Snorlax nodded, squinting its eyes.

Seeing this, Babuboo grabbed Ange's leg and shouted, "Babu~ Babu~" Your attitude towards Snorlax is different from mine! That's not fair! I want to rub my head too!

Anjie: ...

In the days that followed, Anjie practiced martial arts under Shiba's guidance every morning before going to work in the royal city.

After returning in the afternoon, I continued training for another half day.

Seeing how hard Angel was working, the Pokémon all joined the training team.

If anyone gets injured during training, Xerneas will throw a healing wave at them, instantly healing all injuries.

Seeing that everyone was training hard, Majana would often bring freshly made desserts to reward them, which made Babu Tubo very happy.

Now it never complains anymore, and it trains with great enthusiasm every day, with its progress being visible to the naked eye.

Several days passed in the blink of an eye.

That afternoon, after training, Anjie took the mischievous panda and two gophers to plant bamboo near the secret fortress.

The bamboo shoots that Anjie dug up from the domineering panda had all been eaten. Then Anjie remembered that if he wanted to eat bamboo shoots, he could just grow some himself.

The Nibel Plateau has a spring-like climate all year round. If bamboo were planted, wouldn't we be able to eat bamboo shoots whenever we want?

He then searched in the system store and found bamboo that could be planted.

There are actually quite a few types of bamboo shoots, such as moso bamboo shoots, thunder bamboo shoots, red-shelled bamboo shoots, and hemp bamboo shoots, etc.

Anjie and his team dug up bamboo shoots from the domineering panda.

According to the system introduction, moso bamboo does produce shoots in winter, but they are hidden underground.

Bamboo shoots in spring are called spring bamboo shoots, those in summer are called whip bamboo shoots, and those in winter are called winter bamboo shoots.

Anjie didn't really know much about bamboo shoots, but after much deliberation, she finally chose a type of Lei bamboo shoot.

According to the system store, the advantages of this bamboo shoot are that it sprouts early, has a high yield, a long growing season, and a tender taste, and can be stir-fried or braised.

Anjie doesn't plan to plant every variety of bamboo.

Bamboo is an easy plant to grow and reproduces quickly. If too many are planted, the entire Nibel Plateau might end up as a bamboo forest.

The happiest person about Anjie's plan to plant bamboo was the mischievous panda, who loved eating bamboo shoots.

Anjie only bought three or five bamboo stalks, so he planted them quickly and then just waited for them to multiply.

After the bamboo was planted, flower petals and stems fell from the sky, covering several bamboo stalks with green grass.

The two dugongs had already used the Tillage skill on the cleared land.

After Huayedi finished clearing the grassy field, the mischievous panda stared longingly at the bamboo stalks and asked Anjie:

"Ya cha~ ya cha~" When will we be able to eat bamboo shoots?

Anjie shook her head. "I don't know either. Let them grow slowly; it should be quick."

"Ya cha~ ya cha~~" The mischievous panda looked on with anticipation upon hearing this.

Then it picked up the watering can next to it and said excitedly, "Ya cha~ ya cha~" I went to water them.

Since he had only planted a few bamboo stalks, Anjie didn't call a Water-type Pokémon or Bubble to help water them; instead, he came with a watering can.

After watering the Pokémon, Anjie planned to take them home.

Just then, Little Lion rushed over.

"What's wrong?" Anjie asked, puzzled, seeing its flustered state.

"Lion~ Lion~" the little lion called anxiously.

"An injured Pokémon has come here?" Angel asked, frowning.

"Lion~ Lion~" Little Lion nodded quickly.

"Let's go take a look."

As he spoke, Anjie strode forward, and the little lions quickly followed.

Following Little Lion's instructions, Angie quickly arrived at the shore of Lake Nibel, where he saw Mosquito Coil Swimmers, Marilour, and others gathered together, while the mountain goat was practicing on the grassy field.

Lying in the middle of the grassy field are two tiny clay figures, their bodies soaking wet.

These two clay figurines were fished out of Lake Nibel by Mariluri. If nothing unexpected happened, they must have fallen into the Nibel River first and then drifted downstream into Lake Nibel.

At this moment, Xerneas was also called over. After nodding to Ange, it threw a healing wave at each of the two clay figures.

Xerneas's healing power was so strong that the two clay figures soon awoke one after the other.

Upon seeing this, the goat returned to its pasture.

After the clay doll opened its eyes, it first secretly observed the Pokémon surrounding it, then looked at each other, a hint of fear flashing in their eyes.

Then they looked up and saw Yveltal flying swiftly overhead, surrounded by the chief raven and the black ravens.

That terrifying aura was enough to make one tremble with fear, even just by looking at it from afar.

Now they were even more frightened.

What's going on? What's going on? Nobody told them there were such powerful and scary Pokémon here! Is it really okay for them to infiltrate a place like this?

Anjie squatted down and asked, "Are you all feeling alright?"

"Damn it~"

"Damn it~"

The two clay figurines immediately clutched their heads and cried out that they were dizzy and couldn't move.

Anjie asked, "How did you fall into the river?"

As he spoke, he took a towel from his system inventory and wiped the moisture off the two Pokémon.

"This human is so gentle!" the two clay figurines couldn't help but think.

No, no! We're here as undercover agents, how can we have such wild thoughts! They quickly banished the extraneous ideas from their minds.

The two clay figurines used a pre-arranged excuse to explain the reason to Anjie, one after the other.

According to them, they were playing by the river when they were suddenly attacked by a hawk and accidentally fell into the water.

Just then, a Fiery Arrow Eagle flew by overhead: Wait, are we Fiery Arrow Eagles really that irritable? Attacking anyone we randomly grab? You have to be responsible for your words!

Angie didn't doubt the two clay dolls. In his opinion, how could innocent and cute Pokémon lie?

He said to the two clay figurines, "Since you are still feeling unwell, why don't you stay here and rest for now, and we'll talk again when you're feeling better."

"Damn it~"

"Damn it~"

The two clay figurines immediately thanked Anjie gratefully.
