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

Chapter 189 What to do if you're so happy you don't want to leave?

"Come with me," Anjie said to the two clay figurines.

"Damn it~"

"Damn it~"

The two clay figurines nodded and followed Anjie listlessly.

Seeing this, the mischievous panda who had been following Anjie quickly stepped forward to help one of the clay figurines, while the other clay figurine was supported by the bandana thug.

The two clay figurines each glanced at the Pokémon supporting them, and then the naughty panda and the bandana rascal simultaneously gave them innocent and bright smiles.

Why do I feel a little bit guilty? The two clay figurines couldn't help but have this thought flash through their minds.

Soon, Anjie brought the two clay figurines home and asked, "Are you hungry? Would you like something to eat?"

The two clay figurines were taken aback. There was food to eat? Was that really so kind of them?

"Why not eat it if it's free!" So the two clay figurines nodded repeatedly.

"Cut!" Eat!

"Ugh~" I'm hungry!

"Please wait a moment," Anjie said as she walked into the kitchen.

Anjie rummaged through the refrigerator and found some leftover rice and shrimp, so she decided to make shrimp fried rice for the two clay figurines.

After taking out the leftover rice and shrimp, Anjie first marinated the shrimp with pepper, cooking wine and rock salt for a while.

Then he chopped some carrots, chopped greens, scallions, and minced garlic as side dishes.

Heat the oil in a pan, pour in Oreo oil, then add the marinated shrimp and stir-fry until they change color. Remove and set aside.

Next, sauté the chopped green onions and minced garlic in oil until fragrant. Once the oil is hot enough, add the diced carrots and chopped greens and stir-fry until just cooked.

After stir-frying the vegetables, add the rice and break it up with a spatula. Stir-fry until the grains are separate. Finally, add the shrimp to the pan and season with rock salt, pepper, and a little soy sauce.

Add a little MSG just before it's done cooking, and the shrimp fried rice is ready.

The two clay figurines were sitting there quietly, but as a delicious aroma wafted from the kitchen, they became restless, as if nails were stuck into their bottoms on the stool.

It smells so good! It smells so good!

The two Pokémon inhaled deeply.

Before long, Anjie brought two plates of fried rice and placed them in front of them.

"Eat quickly."

The two clay figurines immediately picked up the plate and were about to pour the contents into their mouths when Anjie stopped them, saying, "Eat with this!"

As he spoke, he pointed to the spoon next to him.

Seeing the two Pokémon looking puzzled, Anjay picked up a spoon and demonstrated.

"See, this is how you eat it."

The two Pokémon immediately understood and each grabbed a spoon and began to wolf down their food.

The moment the fried rice touched their lips, they froze for a moment, and then tears suddenly streamed down their faces.

Anjie quickly asked, "What's wrong? Is something else hurting?"

The two clay figurines gradually shook their heads.

"Megaki~" It's so delicious.

"Wow~" I've never eaten anything this delicious before.

Will anyone ever make such delicious food for them again? And... this human is so gentle.

Hearing what the two clay figurines said, Anjie said with a wry smile, "I'm glad you like it. There's more if you want, so eat as much as you like."

Hearing Anjie's words, the two clay figurines cried even harder.

Waaaaah~~~ Lord Darkrai, we can't keep up this undercover work any longer!

The two clay figurines ate the fried rice clean while crying, and even had an extra bowl.

After they had eaten their fill, Anjie asked, "Do you want to rest?"

After fussing around for most of the day, the two clay figurines were indeed tired, so they nodded obediently.

"Then come with me."

Anjie then led them to the secret fortress, found an empty room in the staff dormitory, made some simple arrangements, and let them rest.

They were already tired, and now that they had eaten and drunk their fill, they were sleepy all of a sudden, and soon they snuggled together on the bed and fell asleep.

They slept until evening, when the little Snorlax came to call them for dinner, and they slowly woke up.

There's dinner? The two clay figurines were stunned. What kind of magical place is this?

"Megaki?" Can I eat it whenever I want?

"What? Will we have to pay a price?"

The two clay figurines asked uncertainly.

"Gang~ Gang~" No need, no need!

The little Snorlax pulled them away and walked outside.

"Megiri?" You really don't want it?

"Megkiri?" Really, really don't want it?

On the way, the two Pokémon kept confirming with Munchlax.

I've said "Gang~ Gang~" so many times, no need!

The little Snorlax answered.

Thank goodness it was Munchlax that came; if it were Buzzwole, it would have raised its fist and started fighting these two talkative guys in no time.

Upon arriving at the Diancie Grand Dining Hall, the two clay figurines finally met their mission target—the Tree Pillow Koala.

That wretched Komaru! It was supposed to be Lord Darkrai's "reserve food," yet it dared to sneak away! How ungrateful!

Although they didn't know what "reserve food" meant, Lord Darkrai treated them very well, so they naturally assumed that the tree-pillow bear that had escaped from Lord Darkrai's side was not the one in question.

The two clay dolls learned from Darkrai that the tree-pillow bear was Darkrai's "backup food," as they had never seen the tree-pillow bear before.

Darkrai only took the clay doll as his subordinate after the tree-pillow bear left.

The "spare food" here doesn't mean Darkrai wants to eat the Komamura Bear; what it actually wants to eat is the Komamura Bear's dream, and a nightmare at that!

Komaru's ability is Absolute Sleep, while Darkrai's ability is Nightmare. As long as Komaru stays near Darkrai, it will have nightmares continuously and keep providing Darkrai with delicious food.

The tree-pillow koala escaped from Darkrai because it couldn't bear the torment, and then encountered Ange.

The injury it sustained when it encountered Ange was inflicted by Darkrai.

After the tree-pillow koala escaped, Darkrai searched everywhere for it, turning almost the entire northwestern mountains upside down, only to find that the tree-pillow koala had somehow ended up with humans.

In fact, the Komaru's immense strength is largely thanks to Darkrai.

Darkrai is a Pokémon that is very picky about food. It doesn't even look at the nightmares of ordinary Pokémon, so it often went hungry before it met Komaru.

Its encounter with Komaru was a hundred years ago. At that time, Komaru was a weakling, and any wild Pokémon could defeat it. In addition, due to its Absolute Sleep ability, it was often bullied by other wild Pokémon.

In particular, there was a Dream Eater who loved to use its Dream-Eating skill to bully it.

When Darkrai encountered the Komaru, it happened to be when the Komaru was being bullied by the Baku. Darkrai intervened to save the Komaru and helped it drive away the Baku.

For reasons unknown, after rescuing the Komaru, Darkrai, following the Baku's methods, used the Dream Eater skill on the Komaru as well.

This is incredible! The tree-pillow koala's dream is absolutely delicious, more delicious than any dream it has ever had before.

From that day on, Darkrai kept the tree-pillow koala by his side.

At first, it did not immediately enjoy the tree-pillow koala's dream because the tree-pillow koala was too weak. Its small body was no match for Darkrai's ability to swallow it whole.

So Darkrai began to raise Komaru, gathering all the resources he could find for Komaru to enjoy, giving it special training, and accompanying it in battles against other wild Pokémon.

Who gets this kind of treatment?

And so, the tree-pillow koala grew stronger day by day.

At first, the tree-pillow koala genuinely regarded Darkrai as its savior, and thus spent a happy time with Darkrai.

However, one night, the tree-pillow koala began to have recurring nightmares, and no matter how hard it struggled, it could not escape the torment of the dreams.

Darkrai revealed its fangs; the dream of the tree-pillow bear was simply irresistible to it, and after indulging in it to its heart's content, it became addicted.

From then on, the tree-pillow koala lived a life of misery.

Being trapped in a nightmare or attacked by a dream-eating skill is an extremely painful experience.

But the tree-pillow koala experiences this every day.

It tried to escape, but even though it had become quite powerful, it was still no match for Darkrai. No matter how many times it tried to escape, Darkrai would always find it accurately and bring it back.

After that, Darkrai continued to breed tree-pillow bears in order to make them last longer under its dream-eating influence.

And so, the two Pokémon stayed together for a hundred years.

A hundred years later, the tree-pillow koala had grown to a size that even Darkrai had never imagined, so it found an opportunity to plan its escape once again.

However, it was found again this time.

So the tree-pillow-tailed bear gritted its teeth and went straight for Darkrai in a fight.

As a result, although it didn't win and was seriously injured, it successfully wounded Darkrai and escaped right under its nose.

On the Nibel Plateau, it and Ange became true family and partners, and lived a truly happy life.

But fate is so strange; after many twists and turns, the two Pokémon met again.

After dinner, the Pokémon gradually returned to the staff dormitory.

Surrounded by a host of Pokémon, the two clay figurines also returned to the staff dormitory.

They went back to their room for a while, and then, hearing that the noise outside had subsided, they decided to sneak out to check the situation before going to find Darkrai.

However, they hadn't gone far when they suddenly heard some strange noises coming from ahead.

They followed the sound and found everyone sitting in a row on the sofa, staring intently at something on the wall.

There were images inside that thing: a Pichu exploring a forest.

The two Pokémon were drawn to the scene and unconsciously walked over.

A clay figurine patted the screw mole on the shoulder and asked, "Meg-chee~ Meg-chee~" What is this?

The screw-like mole turned around and saw it was a clay figure, so it replied, "It's a television!"

"A television?" The two clay figures looked at each other, not understanding what a television was.

So the screw mole started explaining to them what television was.

Actually, the explanation from the screw-and-mouse was rather vague, but that didn't matter, because the two clay figurines had gradually become completely absorbed by the "Adventures of Pichu" playing on TV.

Before they knew it, they had sat down with the other Pokémon, chatting and laughing about the plot and watching the movie with great interest.

In the forest outside the Nibel Plateau, Darkrai was anxiously waiting for the clay doll to report to it, but a whole night passed and it didn't even see a shadow of the clay doll.

The next day, after the two clay figurines got up, they sat by the bed for a while before remembering that they had forgotten to see Lord Darkrai the night before.

That thing called television was so interesting that they were so excited after watching it that they kept discussing the plot with everyone. After the discussion, everyone went to sleep, and they went to sleep too.

As for Lord Darkrai... they really didn't remember him at all.

Or... should we go find Lord Darkrai now?

The two clay figurines looked hesitant.

But it's daytime now, what if we go out rashly and get discovered? If we're found to be undercover agents, will everyone kill us?

Just then, the Screw Mole knocked on their door, "Hey, do you want to come eat breakfast?"

Breakfast? The two clay figurines' eyes lit up – they definitely had to eat!

Just thinking about last night's dinner makes their mouths water; it was so delicious!

So the two clay figures once again forgot about Darkrai and happily went to have breakfast with the others.

Sure enough, breakfast was just as delicious as last night's dinner, and the two of them ate to their hearts' content.

After finishing their meal, the two of them sat on the wall, swinging their legs, watching the Pokémon scattered across the grassland and flying in the sky, and couldn't help but think:

The big guys are all outside, they can't get out at all, so... Lord Darkrai... you don't blame us, right?

Just then, they saw the blue crocodile waving at them from afar.

"Wow~ Wow~" Hey, you two over there, do you want to play soccer? We're just two short!

Playing football? What's that? Is it something as fun as watching TV?

The two clay figurines' eyes lit up, and they quickly jumped down from the wall and ran towards the blue crocodile.

Today, the football team is divided into two teams as usual.

The team led by Infernape consists of 2 Sentry Rats, 2 Mounted Goats, Super Raptor, 2 Chili Peppers, Fat Hally, and 2 Oddish.

The team led by Volcanion consists of 2 Poliwag Swimmers, 2 Marills, Digger Bunny, Galladee, 2 Mushrooms, and 2 Claydots that just joined.

The referee is Gardevoir.

As Gardevoir blew its whistle, the two sides began a fierce battle.

At first, the two clay figurines kept losing because they were unfamiliar with the rules of the game and their skills were rusty, causing Xernias to lose a lot of points.

Seeing the smug look on the other side of the Infernape, Volcanion was so angry that he jumped up and down, so he began to personally instruct the two clay figures on how to play soccer.

As they gradually became familiar with the rules of the game, the two clay figures began to experience the fun of Pokémon Soccer, and soon their happy laughter and excited shouts filled the field.

Of course, they ultimately lost the game, after all, they had lost too many points earlier.

Instead of scolding the two clay figures, Polcanion encouraged them, which was a rare occurrence, since everyone starts as a novice.

The two clay figures were deeply moved by Polcanion's encouragement. They had thought that Polcanion had a bad temper and that they would definitely be scolded for losing so many points!

However, while Pulcanion did not blame the two clay figures, it did not hesitate to fight the fire monkey that had mocked it.

Other Pokémon came over to comfort the two clay dolls and shared the snacks and toys they had bought from the convenience store with them.

Feeling everyone's kindness, one of the clay figures said to another, "Meat-tsk~ Mee-tsk~" Are we really going to become Darkrai's undercover agents?

The other clay figure also fell into confusion.

"Megaki~Megaki~" I don't know either.

Meanwhile, outside the Nibel Plateau, under a large tree in the forest, Darkrai and his two underlings were practically petrified from waiting.

Just as the two clay figurines were in a daze, the two walking grass plants that had just come off the court suddenly emitted light.

Mushroom, Sentinel Mouse, and Fat Hali, who were walking alongside them, subconsciously stopped in their tracks.

Seeing the Oddish enveloped in light, Fatty Hali shouted excitedly:

"Ribo~ Ribo~" Oddish is about to evolve!

Before long, the evolution of the two Oddish ended, the light dissipated from them, and they had transformed into completely new forms.

The evolved form of Oddish is much larger than its original form. Its body resembles a plant bulb, its skin is blue, it drools at the corners of its mouth, and it has a spotted flower bud on its head.

In addition, compared to Oddish, they have an extra pair of hands.

This is the weed Pokémon Gloom.

The stinky flower emits a strong stench, and what appears to be drool from its mouth is actually sweet honey.

Moreover, it is said that the smell emitted by the Gloom Flower is not actually a foul odor, but a fragrance, but the fragrance is so strong that it smells particularly pungent.

Legend has it that the stronger the odor emitted by Gloom before its evolution, the more likely it is to evolve into a beautiful flower with lovely blossoms.

The evolution of Oddish delighted everyone, and they all came forward to congratulate it, especially the two Mushrooms, who were closest to Oddish along with Paras. Now that Oddish had evolved, no one was happier than them.

The stinky flowers were also very happy with their evolution. They held hands and jumped and danced excitedly.

But when they get agitated, a strong, pungent stench immediately wafts out.

At first, everyone thought they could just bear it, but the two stinky flowers were so excited that the stench they released was so strong it was explosive.

Finally, the two mushrooms, the two sentry mice, and Fatty Harley couldn't hold it in any longer and turned to the side to vomit.

When Stinky Flower is calm, its stench will subside, but once it gets agitated, the stench will uncontrollably waft out.

Seeing everyone's reaction, the expressions of the two Gloomys visibly froze, and the joy they had just experienced from their evolution vanished in an instant.

Seeing the expressions on the two Glooms' faces, the Pokémon instantly realized that their reaction had hurt Glooms. They were about to step forward to explain, but Glooms stopped them.

"Hana~ Hana~"

"Hana~ Hana~"

The two stinky flowers pouted, but in the end they couldn't hold back and ran away hand in hand, crying.

Oh no! What are we going to do? Fatty Hali and the others were dumbfounded.
