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

Chapter 190 Ugh~ Sorry, I just couldn't hold it in.

The two stinky flowers were very sad, but the sadder they were, the greater their emotional fluctuations became, and the stronger their stench became.

They ran all the way home, and the companions they met along the way didn't know that they evolved from Oddish and were about to ask them who they were.

But to everyone's surprise, before they even got close, they were overwhelmed by the strong stench and ran away, covering their noses.

Seeing this, the two stinky flowers were even more devastated. They ran into the house while crying, then closed and locked the door, hiding inside and never coming out again.

After a while, worried about the Gloomy Flower, the two Mushrooms called Paras to come and check on them.

"kino~kino~"

A mushroom knocked on the door and called to Gloomy, but there was no response from inside.

Mushroom and Paras exchanged a glance, their eyes revealing worry.

"Para~ Para~"

Just then, a Paras came up and knocked on the door, telling Stinky Flower that Mushroom knew it had made a mistake and was willing to give them all its treasured snacks as an apology.

Two mushrooms: Hey, hey, hey, we didn't say that!

Oh well, as long as Gloom can cheer up, that's all that matters.

After a while, a stinky flower slowly opened the crack in the door, tears welling in its eyes, and asked:

"Huh~" Really? You're really giving us all the snacks?

Paras was about to answer: Really.

Suddenly, a foul stench wafted out of the room, and Paras stopped speaking, then turned his head and began to vomit violently.

Although they had listened to the mushroom's warning and were mentally prepared before coming, they couldn't help it, they really couldn't help it!

Stinky Flower froze on the spot, then slammed the door shut.

"Kino~kino~" A mushroom angrily yelled at the Paras.

"Para~ Para~" Paras looked aggrieved. I didn't mean to, the smell was just too strong.

Now it's a little worried about how to get back to its room to sleep tonight.

The six of them live together, but now Stinky Flower won't open the door to let them in.

Even if the door is opened, they will probably have a hard time suppressing their physiological reaction to the stench, and then the stinky flowers will probably be sad again.

This is so worrying!

For a moment, two Paras and two Mushrooms lined up and squatted in front of their own door, sighing.

After lunch, Anjie moved two recliners to the doorway and then lay down with Shiba, dozing off.

Tianxi sat next to him knitting, with two round spiders lying obediently beside her.

Nearby, by the flowerbed, Mare the sheep was intently painting with its easel.

Mare the sheep is indeed very talented in drawing. In just a short period of practice, it has already drawn quite well, not at all like a beginner.

Snorlax huffed and puffed as he carried out the bags of freshly harvested Beans. Then, Gengar and Inteleon spread a plastic sheet on the ground, and the three of them worked together to pour the Beans onto the plastic sheet to dry.

Beans are a very important ingredient; they are essential for making fermented soybean paste, tofu, bean sprouts, soy milk, and tofu pudding at home.

Magiana was spraying water on Polcanion with a hose, and then spraying it with shower gel.

Today it will give Polcanion a good bath, cleaning every nook and cranny.

After spraying the shower gel, Magiana took a brush and started scrubbing Polcanion's body. Since its skin was thick and tough, she didn't have to worry about it hurting, so Magiana scrubbed with extra force.

The areas where Volcanion was brushed immediately became sparkly, as if a beauty filter had been applied.

Soon after, Pulcanion began to groan and moan.

"Mageyana, not there... not there either, no... it itches... hahaha... it itches!"

Babubo and Shiba's Mighty, Kick-Head, and Quick-Punch were squatting together on the ground, whispering to each other.

"How relaxing!" Shiba swayed back and forth, unable to help but sigh.

"Yes!" Anjie replied.

Just then, he seemed to receive a system notification, so he opened the system and saw that a new task had appeared on the taskbar.

[Temporary Task] Help the two stinky flowers regain their confidence - To be completed.

Anjie subconsciously looked at Tianxi, only to see Tianxi smiling and winking at him.

"Did our Oddish evolve into a Gloom?" he asked.

"Yes! They evolved this morning while they were playing soccer," Tianxi replied.

"Has something happened?" Anjie asked again.

If nothing had happened, the system wouldn't have suddenly given out this task.

So Diancie told Ange about how Gloom was disliked by everyone because of its unpleasant smell.

After hearing this, An Jie said helplessly, "Oh, is that so?"

Shiba, who was standing nearby, overheard Angel and Diancie's conversation and sighed, "With more Pokémon, there's more trouble. Angel, you're going to have a headache."

Anjie: "Who says otherwise?"

After resting until mid-afternoon, Angie practiced fighting techniques with Shiba for a while, and then found Mushroom and Paras. From them, he learned that the two stinky flowers had locked themselves in their house.

Because of this, Paras and Mushroom didn't even eat lunch.

So Angel brought Paras and Mushroom to the staff dormitory and knocked on Stinky Flower's door.

"Stinky Flower, are you there? It's me, Anjie."

However, there was no response from inside the room.

Upon seeing this, Anjie said, "You won't even see me? I'm so heartbroken. I thought Stinky Flower liked me the most. It seems I was just being presumptuous."

Sigh... I think I'll just leave, so no one will give me the time of day.

Then the door finally opened gently, and two stinky flowers peeked out from the crack in the door.

Anjie was shocked to see their appearance. Not only were their eyes red and swollen, but their bodies had also lost moisture due to crying for too long. Their once plump and round bodies were now dry and shriveled.

"What...what happened to you?" Anjie looked distressed and quickly looked down at Mushroom and Paras, saying, "Quick, go get Stinky Flower a glass of water."

"kino~"

"Para~"

The four Pokémon nodded repeatedly and then ran off quickly.

Then Anjie beckoned to Chou Chou, "You two, come out here quickly."

"Hah~" However, the two stinky flowers shook their heads desperately, afraid that Anjie would also dislike them.

Anjie said, "I won't hate you, don't worry."

"Huh?" The two stinky flowers were a little skeptical.

Anjie said, "Silly child, do you think that just because people dislike the smell you give off, it means they don't like you?"

"Huh?" The two Pokémon looked puzzled. Could it be...?

Anjie explained, "Disliking the smell and disliking you are two completely different things."

The smell emanating from the stinky flower was indeed very unpleasant, like leftover food fermenting for ten days in the summer.

No wonder everyone couldn't stand it.

In particular, the stinky flower is characterized by its foul odor, and the smell it emits is especially strong.

Anjie had actually smelled it when they opened the door, but she just kept it to herself.

He was confident that his patience was much better than that of the Pokémon.

Anjie then said to the stinky flowers, "The smell on you isn't something you intentionally create; it's natural. Why would anyone dislike you because of that?"

"Hah~ Hah~" The two stinky flowers seemed to understand but not quite.

Just then, Mushroom and Paras returned, panting, carrying water.

Anjie pointed at the sweat-drenched creatures and said, "Mushroom and Paras have been worried about you since this morning. Do they look like they dislike you?"

"Kino~" We love stinky flowers the most.

"Para~ Para~" Mmm, stinky flower is our best friend.

Mushroom and Paras, upon hearing Angie's words, quickly echoed his sentiments.

Seeing the concerned looks on Mushroom and Paras's faces, Gloom couldn't help but feel touched.

Anjie took the water cups from Paras and Mushroom and placed them in front of Gloomy Flower, saying, "Here, have some water first."

"Hah~"

The two stinky flowers nodded and started gulping down their water.

They were indeed extremely thirsty, and the cup of water was quickly drunk up completely.

As Anjie drank water, she said, "Actually, as long as you keep calm and peaceful, the smell on your bodies will subside."

"Hmm~" Really?

Gloom put down her water glass and asked.

Anjie nodded. "Of course, have I ever lied to you?"

"Hah~"

"Hah~"

The two stinky flowers shook their heads.

"You can give it a try," Anjie said.

"Hah~" The two stinky flowers nodded, and then began to try to calm themselves down.

Despite their efforts, they ultimately failed because their emotions had fluctuated too much before, and they simply couldn't calm down when suddenly told to.

"Hah~"

"Hah~"

The two stinky flowers started crying again in distress.

Seeing this, Anjie couldn't help but feel a headache coming on, so he said, "Actually, there's another way to change your predicament."

"Huh?" The two stinky flowers stopped crying and looked at Anjie in confusion.

Anjie said, "That's evolution!"

Evolution! The two Gloomy flowers' eyes lit up upon hearing this.

Anjie: "You can evolve immediately as long as you have a Sun Stone or a Leaf Stone."

Upon hearing this, the two stinky flowers immediately looked disappointed, for they did not have a Leaf Stone, and the Leaf did not have a Sun Stone.

Anjie shook his head helplessly and said, "How about I take you to buy Leaf Stones and Sun Stones?"

Upon hearing this, the two stinky flowers immediately joined hands and cheered with joy. In their excitement, a strong stench quickly spread.

Anjie: Ugh~

Mushroom: Ugh~

Paras: Ugh~

Two smelly flowers: (ó﹏ò)

"Let's go, I'll take you to the royal city to buy Leaf Stones and Sun Stones," Anjie said to Gloom after vomiting.

"Hana~ Hana~"

The two stinky flowers nodded, saying that everything would be fine once they evolved.

Then they went home.

"Tianxi, I'm taking Gloomy to the Royal City." Angie said goodbye to Tianxi before leaving.

"Okay!" Tianxi replied.

It had to cover for Ange, otherwise it would be bad if Shiba discovered the secret of the spatial passage.

Through Munchlax's house, Angel and two Gloomys arrived at the Royal City.

As they passed a patch of grass, two stinky flowers hopped in.

"Hey~ where are you guys going?" Anjie asked, puzzled.

"Hana~ Hana~"

Before long, two stinky flowers emerged from the grass, their bodies completely wrapped in green leaves, looking just like two big rice dumplings.

Anjie said, half-laughing and half-crying, "Are you afraid that passersby will smell your body odor?"

"Hah~ Hah~" The two stinky flowers nodded repeatedly.

Anjie said, "Cute little guy."

As he spoke, he untied the grass leaves from the stinky flower, saying, "Isn't it uncomfortable to be wrapped up like this? Let's choose a less crowded place so we won't bother anyone."

Besides, what's the point of covering their bodies if their odor-emitting organs are the flower stamens on their heads?

After untying the grass leaves, Anjie said with a smile, "Let's go."

Actually, after Anjie said she would bring them to the royal city to buy evolution stones, they became happier, and the smell on their bodies was no longer so strong.

"Hah~"

"Hah~"

The two stinky flowers followed behind Anjie, deliberately choosing to walk in secluded places, and hardly encountered any passersby.

Although it was a slightly longer route, Anjie and Chou Chou Hua both found some enjoyment in it.

It was like they were on an adventure, seeing a side of the city that no one knew about, and also meeting many Pokémon living in the corners of the city.

"Hana~ Hana~" Anjie, look!

Anjie looked in the direction that Chou Chou Hua was pointing and saw a Fiery Arrow Eagle resting with several little Arrow Finch on a rooftop.

"Shh~~" Anjie gestured to the stinky flower to be quiet, indicating not to disturb the arrow eagles' rest.

As they passed a corner, they spotted Paras and Paraster again amidst a pile of ruins.

Before the two stinky flowers could utter a sound, Anjie put her finger to her lips, signaling them to be quiet again, and then tiptoed away from them.

As they passed by an abandoned waterway, they saw Magikarp swimming in the water, and Nekomamushi and Mukkuru resting by the water's edge.

Two stinky flowers greeted them, and they responded enthusiastically.

Leaving the waterway, Anjie and his companions entered a small alley. Suddenly, a Dream Demon and two Dream Eaters darted out from a corner, startling the two Gloomflowers who hid behind Anjie.

"Hehehe~~~"

Seeing the frightened Gloom, the three Ghost-type Pokémon burst into laughter, then contentedly retreated back into the darkness.

After a series of exciting adventures, Angie and his friends finally arrived at the elf shop.

Anjie has come to a large store in the royal city this time, not some roadside shop.

This place is filled with a dazzling array of Pokémon supplies, from small items like Poké Balls, medicine, and Pokémon food to larger items such as carrying tools, evolution stones, space backpacks, bicycles, and more.

Not only was the smelly display dazzling, but even Anjie herself was a little overwhelmed by it.

However, they did not forget their purpose for coming. After looking around, they quickly found the area that sold evolution stones.

The Sun Stone and the Leaf Stone are placed together.

Anjie pointed to the green stone with leaf vein patterns and said to the two stinky flowers:

"Look, this is the Leaf Stone, which can help you evolve into a Vileflower."

He then showed the two Pokémon a picture of the Vileplume and explained:

"Vileplume is a powerful flower-shaped Pokémon that can release strong paralyzing powder, poison powder, and sleep powder. It is a creature that makes enemies tremble in fear in the forest."

Upon hearing this, the stinky flower, whose characteristic is chlorophyll, lit up with its eyes, and a hint of longing flashed across its face.

Then Anjie pointed to the Sun Stone in the display window and introduced it: "Hey, this is the Sun Stone. It can help you evolve into Bellossom."

He then showed the two smelly flowers a picture of a beautiful flower and explained it to them:

"Liriope is a beautiful flower Pokémon. After bathing in sunlight, the flowers on its head become vibrant and beautiful, and it can even sing and dance..."

After hearing Anjie's introduction, a look of joy flashed across the smelly face of the creature.

"Alright, if you've decided which form you want to evolve into, then each of you can choose your evolution stone."

Anjie gave the choice to Chou Chou Hua herself.

There are more than one Leaf Stone and one Sun Stone in the display window, so even if the two Gloom choose the same evolution form, they don't have to worry about not having enough evolution stones.

Of course, the two Pokémon did not choose the same evolution stone. The one with the Chlorophyll ability chose the Leaf Stone without hesitation, while the one with the Stink ability chose the Sun Stone without hesitation.

Anjie asked, "Are you sure? Once you evolve, there's no going back!"

"Hah~"

"Hah~"

The two stinky flowers nodded firmly.

"Alright!" Anjie said, looking at the sales clerk next to her. "Could you please give me one Sun Stone and one Leaf Stone?"

"Okay, please wait a moment," the salesperson said.

As he spoke, he deftly took out the evolution stone and even planned to help Anjie pack it up.

Seeing this, Anjie quickly said, "No need for packaging, we'll be using it soon anyway."

"Okay, sir." The sales clerk handed two evolution stones to Anjie.

Anjie took the stinky flower to pay the bill and then walked straight out of the store.

As soon as he stepped out of the store, two stinky flowers grabbed Anjie's trouser leg and looked up at him expectantly.

"Alright, alright, here you go." Anjie smiled and handed the two evolution stones to them respectively.

"Hah~"

"Hah~"

The two Gloomys eagerly took the evolution stone and hugged it to their arms.

The moment they touched the evolution stone, it lit up with a bright light that spread all the way to the two Glooms until they were completely enveloped.

In the light, the shapes of the two stinky flowers changed rapidly.

This Pokémon, whose special ability is chlorophyll, grows larger and the flower bud on its head blooms rapidly. When the light fades, a two-legged, flower-shaped Pokémon appears in front of Angel.

It has an indigo bulbous body, hands and feet, and a huge spotted flower head on its head. As it moves, the petals tremble, and faint yellow powder floats out from it.

This is one of the evolved forms of Gloom, Vileplume, which has both grass and poison attributes.

Meanwhile, the other Gloom, whose ability is foul odor, grew rapidly in the light, with a skirt blooming beneath it. When the light dissipated, it became an adorable Pokémon wearing two red flowers on its head and a yellow-green grass skirt.

"Ba na~ Ba na~" As soon as it successfully evolved, it happily spun around in circles.

This Pokémon is another evolution of Gloom—Belleflower, a single Grass-type Pokémon.

"Congratulations, Queen of the Night, beautiful flower!" Anjie said.
