Chapter 198 Is Friendship a Diamond Again?

While Darkrai wandered aimlessly through the capital city of Azot trying to erase dreams, Dream Eater also arrived in Mare's dream world with the dream tree seed given to it by Angel.

The reason it planted the Dream Tree seed in Mareep's dream world is because Mareep's dream world is the most complete, stable, and powerful place among all the Pokémon in the Nibel Plateau.

Today, as usual, Diancie and two round spiders came to Mare the sheep's dream world to play with it, draw with it, and help it practice its skills.

As they practiced with Mare the Sheep in the dream world every day, Diancie and the Orbweb Spider felt that they had become much more proficient in using their skills.

During their skill practice, the Pokémon suddenly saw a tree growing rapidly on a hillside not far away, and in the blink of an eye, it grew into a towering tree.

"That is..." Then Diancie seemed to realize something, "Could it be... the Dream Tree?"

But wasn't it giving Dream Eater a seed? How did it grow so big all of a sudden?

"Let's go take a look," Diancie said to the two silk spiders and the sheep.

The silk spider and the sheep nodded and followed Diancie as they raced toward the tree.

When they arrived at the base of the tree, Diancie was surprised to find a hole in the trunk, and Dream Eater was curled up inside, fast asleep.

So this really is the Tree of Dreams?

Diancie carefully examined the large tree in front of her and saw that there were transparent bubbles the size of human heads hanging on the branches.

It went closer to the bubble and found that there was a Babutupotamus inside.

Babu Tubo was lying on a mountain of snacks, happily devouring them while grinning foolishly.

Are all these bubbles filled with everyone's dreams?

Then Diancie looked at another bubble, which contained a little Snorlax, who was happily hugging Ange and fast asleep.

Diancie: ...

What a simple dream.

Next is Diglett's dream, in which it dreams that it has evolved into Excadrill, becoming a powerful Pokémon, stepping on Aggron and punching Feraligatr, it's incredibly impressive.

There's also a dream of Weavile, where it dreams of becoming a master and evolving into Weavile, pinning Babuto to the ground and beating it until it cried for its parents.

After beating up Babu Tubo, it pounced into Anjie's arms with a smug look on its face, then gave Babu Tubo a provocative look.

Diancie: Sneasel, so this is what you're like, Pokémon?

There are also dreams of Magikarp and Feebas.

Magikarp dreamed that he evolved into Gyarados, and could defeat everything in sight.

Uglyfish dreamed that it evolved into Milotic, outshining all others and becoming the most beautiful creature on the Nibel Plateau.

Not all Pokémon have Dream Balls here. Diancie guesses that only Pokémon that are dreaming will have their dreams appear here.

For example, An Jie's dream is not included here.

At this moment, the entire Nibel Plateau is covered by the power of the Dream Tree. The dream power generated by the Pokémon's dreams is absorbed by the Dream Tree to help it grow.

Dream Eater sleeps in the Dream Tree, which it planted, thus forming a symbiotic relationship with it, just like Dream and the Tree of Origin.

The Dream Eater, which coexists with the Dream Tree, will gain a stronger power to traverse dreams under the subtle influence of the Dream Tree.

The next day, after Ange got up, Tianxi told him about the Dream Tree, and Ange was very surprised after hearing it.

"That's amazing? Then let Dream Eater take me into the dream world tonight to see for myself."

Anjie was very curious about the Dream Tree and the Dream World.

"No problem," Tianxi said.

When Ange was about to go to work in the royal city, Darkrai returned from the royal city with a melancholy look on his face.

Having devoured too many human nightmares and experienced too many human emotions, Darkrai felt his head throbbing, his heart aching, and a stinging sensation spreading through his eyes; he was extremely uncomfortable.

"What's wrong?" Ange asked with a smile when he saw Darkrai looking so dejected.

"Dark~Dark~" Don't talk to me.

Darkrai ignored Ange and floated away without looking back.

"What's wrong with it?" Tianxi asked.

Anjie laughed and said, "He must have been suffering from nightmares, ptooey~ serves him right."

After learning of the punishment Ange had given Darkrai, Diancie also felt that it was well-deserved.

After Anjie returned from the royal city at noon, he found the Metagross.

"Metamorphoses, could you develop an app for me to order takeout?"

Today, another customer urged him to start offering delivery services, and Anjie felt that this matter was urgent.

There are other food delivery platforms online, but Anjie just wanted to create his own.

"Meta~Meta~" I can give it a try.

The Metagross answered.

As it learned more and more knowledge, Metagross's intelligent brain had mastered a large amount of information technology and network technology.

As far as Ange knew, ever since the Kingdom's researchers helped the Nibel Plateau develop the payment system, Metagross had been in contact with them in secret and had learned a lot from them.

"Meta~Meta~" Ange, can I add some research equipment to my home?

As the Metagross's technological prowess increased, he realized that the computer Dr. Fortu and Orin had installed on Robert II was no longer sufficient.

That computer is only good for handling everyday household chores; it's hardly suitable for scientific research.

"Of course, no problem!" Anjie said. "What equipment do you need? I'll get it for you."

"Meta~Meta~" Angie, are you going to buy it for me?

"The Metagross asked in a surprised tone."

This stumped Anjie. "If I don't buy it for you, who will?"

It turns out that Metagross originally planned to use the wages Angel paid it to buy it from the system store.

After hearing this, Anjie was both amused and exasperated. "I pay you a salary so you can enjoy life, not so you can do these things."

Besides, what can you buy with that little salary?

I'm asking you, did you buy this equipment for this home?

"Meta~Meta~" Metagross nodded.

"That's settled then!" Anjie said matter-of-factly. "Since it's for the family, how can I let you pay for it on your own? Of course, I, as the head of the family, should pay for it!"

Ange's words brought a smile to Metagross's face; it should have expected Ange to say that.

"Meta~Meta~" it agreed with Ange.

Anjie patted the Metagross's head and said, "Come on, tell me what equipment you need, and I'll buy it for you."

He had saved up a lot of happiness points, which was exactly what he needed to use at this moment.

After discussing it with Metagross, Anja spent a full five million Happiness Points to buy Metagross a set of high-tech equipment from the system store.

This equipment isn't just for Metagross to develop apps; it can also be used for various other research projects.

As equipment was sold one after another, Metagross's room was quickly filled, and Metagross's eyes crinkled with laughter.

It likes these devices.

Looking at the cramped room, Anjie said, "How about we clear out the room next door for you to put your equipment in? Otherwise, you can't even turn around in this room."

Ange's house has many empty rooms, so it's no problem to make room for Metagross.

"Meta~Meta~" Metagross nodded happily.

"Let's begin," Anjie said.

He and Metagross then emptied the room next door and moved all the equipment there.

Many of these devices require assembly after purchase, which is where Anjie couldn't help; he had to rely on Jujin himself.

Looking at the dazzling array of equipment parts, Angie asked, "Metamorphoses, are you really okay?"

"Meta~Meta~" It's perfectly fine, don't worry.

"Metamorphosis said confidently."

Anjie said, "That's good. You can continue with your work. I'll head out now. I'll leave the app development to you."

The Megalodon nodded, saw Anja out the door, closed the door, and began to busy itself.

After that, Metagross became a complete shut-in, spending most of his time in his lab except for eating and teaching students.

After Anja and Metagross parted ways, Anja received a phone call from Himeya.

Over the phone, Ji Meiya told Anjie that the royal breeding farm had recently imported a batch of Alcremie from the Galar region, and that once the royal trainers had bred them into Alcremie, they would be sent to Anjie.

Anjie was very happy after hearing this. He didn't expect Ji Meiya to be so efficient. Not long after he mentioned wanting Frost Milk Fairy, the Royal Breeding Farm had already introduced Little Frost Milk Fairy.

"Jimeiya, thank you for your hard work," Anjie said to her.

"Your Highness, why are you being so polite with me?" Ji Meiya said, feigning anger. "Our breeding farm has wanted to introduce Little Fairy Milk for a long time; this is just the right opportunity."

Anjie said, "No matter what, I'm sorry to have troubled you. I'll treat you to a meal later."

Ji Meiya was delighted to hear this, "Then it's a deal! I'll go visit His Highness's house later."

Anjie replied, "You're welcome anytime!"

A month has passed in the blink of an eye.

Anjie had a very fulfilling month.

In the early morning, I train with the Pokémon and Hiba. In the morning, I go to work in the Royal City. In the afternoon, I leisurely do nothing for half a day, and then continue training with Hiba.

After playing with the Pokémon for a while in the evening, I go to the training room to train.

Dream occasionally visits Nibel Plateau, enjoying a delicious meal at Anjie's house before returning to her own.

Recently, it has become obsessed with the juice made by the throwing monkeys, so it often visits the winery and has gradually become close to the tree-pillow koala.

Angie often saw the two of them raising their glasses and drinking heartily at the winery counter, but Mew drank juice while Koala drank alcohol.

The two little guys, after drinking their fill, lay down on the counter and fell fast asleep, with Throwing Monkey and Night Demon becoming their mothers.

And then there's Darkrai. For the past month or so, it has truly suffered terribly, devouring 100 nightmares every day. While the sleep quality of the residents of Azot Royal City has improved, its spirits have become increasingly listless.

Moreover, during this month, apart from nightmares, Anjie refused to let it eat a single bite of food made by himself or his apprentice.

At first, Darkrai proudly declared his disdain.

But every day, smelling the aroma that filled the air and watching the other Pokémon eat with such satisfaction, it would always unconsciously swallow its saliva.

It can endure it for a day or two, and it can persevere for three or four days, but it becomes too torturous in the long run.

Now it has no temper with Anjie at all, and just hopes that Anjie will be kind and let it have a bite someday.

Actually, consuming nightmares is beneficial to Darkrai. Although Darkrai appears listless and weak due to the various emotions contained in nightmares, its body is actually very healthy, much healthier than before it was captured by Ange.

Nightmares were originally Darkrai's food, and now it's just back to normal.

Therefore, Ange never showed any pity for the miserable Darkrai.

After lunch that day, Shiba bid farewell to Ange.

"Angel, I'm planning to leave the Nibel Plateau today."

Anjie was taken aback. "So fast?"

Shiba laughed, "Quickly? I've been staying at your house for over a month!"

Upon hearing this, An Jie couldn't help but sigh, "Time flies so fast; more than a month has passed in the blink of an eye."

Shiba nodded. "Who says otherwise?"

Over the past month, Shiba and Anjie have gotten along very well and have become close friends who can talk about anything.

And Shiba also really enjoys life on the Nibel Plateau.

But he is, after all, one of the four kings of the alliance. Staying on the Nibel Plateau for more than a month is already the limit. He can't stay here forever.

After chatting for a while, Shiba started packing his luggage, while Angie prepared some gifts for Shiba to take with him.

There was some wine that Shiba liked, some snacks made by Anjie, and a few jars of honey grapefruit tea.

As far as Ange knows, Elite Four member Heracross is one of the Pokémon, though it's not his main Pokémon.

Heracross would probably enjoy the honey grapefruit tea.

After packing, Anja called Jerami to come and pick up Shiba.

Before leaving, Shiba took out a booklet from his pocket and handed it to Anjie, "Here you go."

Anjie asked in confusion, "What's this?"

Shiba explained, "These are my cultivation insights. I stayed up all night writing them. Keep them for reference."

Touched by her words, An Jie solemnly accepted the booklet and said, "Thank you, I will definitely make good use of it."

He then took out something and handed it to Shiba; it was an exquisite brocade box.

"What's this?" Shiba asked, readily taking the box and opening it.

Inside lay a huge pink diamond.

"You gave me this?" Shiba's eyes widened.

Anjie joked, "My family is poor, so this is all I can afford to give. You know, we just pick these up anywhere."

Shiba was amused by Anjie. "Alright, since it's from you, I'll accept it."

He knew that with Tianxi there was no shortage of such things, so he didn't make a fuss.

After a reluctant farewell, Shiba boarded the aircraft and waved to Ange.

Goodbye, Anjie! Goodbye everyone!

Anjie waved back, "Goodbye, keep in touch!"

"Gang~"

"Babu~"

……

Munchlax, Groundhog, Farfetch'd, and other Pokémon that had received instruction from Shiba all stood below and waved goodbye to Shiba with all their might.

After a long while, the aircraft gradually disappeared into the horizon, and Anjai returned home with his Pokémon, feeling dejected.

However, Anjie quickly recovered from the sadness of parting. In this era of advanced information technology, they can communicate at any time using any communication technology, so there is really no need to be overly sentimental.

After returning home, Anja received a video call from Piper, who wanted to ask Anja some questions about cooking.

Anjie explained it to him for a long time, but he still didn't understand, so Anjie went into the kitchen to demonstrate it to him.

During the demonstration, Anjie cleaned up the ingredients in his system inventory and unexpectedly found two scallions he had obtained from previous daily tasks still inside.

Fortunately, the system backpack can keep things fresh; otherwise, if it had been inside for a month, it would probably have rotted and smelled terrible.

He casually placed two large green onions on the stove and then continued talking to Pipa.

Just then, two large green onion ducks walked into the kitchen.

Angie was focused on talking to Pipa and didn't notice the two of them.

Two green onion ducks circled around the kitchen and were suddenly attracted by the green onions on the stove. They unconsciously picked up the green onions.

The moment they got their hands on the scallions, they immediately realized that their destined scallions had finally appeared.

The two green onion ducks looked at each other, their faces beaming with excitement, and then they carried the green onions and ran quickly outside.

"Kama~ Kama~"

"Kama~ Kama~"

Upon reaching the grassy area outside the wall, the two scallion ducks waved their scallions with great enthusiasm.

They became more and more excited and enjoyed dancing more and more.

It's it, it's it, it's the scallion they were destined for.

After many days, the two green onion ducks were overwhelmed with excitement to have their own green onions again.

Just then, Screw Mole and Godora happened to pass by.

"Kama~"

"Kama~"

Two giant green onion ducks suddenly appeared in front of them.

"Cola~~" What?

Kodora looked at the green onion duck with a puzzled expression.

The two Farfetch'd raised their eyebrows and beckoned to Kodora and Gopher.

"Come on~"

"Kama~" Battle!

Upon hearing this, Screw Mole Coco Doraemon immediately perked up, "Let's fight! Who's afraid of who?"

So the four Pokémon stood on either side, ready for a doubles match.

Two big green onion ducks, a young couple.

Screw Mole and Kodora are in a team.

They invited the Orinus sisters, who were sunbathing on the wall, to be the referees.

The two sisters stood hand in hand in the middle, and after both sides were ready, they said at the same time:

"Linyu~" The match begins!

"Kama~ Kama~"

As soon as the sisters finished speaking, the two farfalle ducks brandished their farfalle leeks and launched the first attack. Green light flashed on their farfalle leeks, and when the light gathered together, it formed a sharp blade.

They use the Grass-type move Leaf Blade, a move that easily hits vital points.

Not to be outdone, Screw Mole and Godora quickly used their skills to meet them.

A sharp white light flashed on the claws of the Screwpod. This was the Normal-type Tear Claw, which not only caused damage but also had a 50% chance to lower the opponent's defense.

Kodora used its STAB move Iron Head, its head flashing with a metallic sheen, and rammed headfirst into the two Farfetch'd.

The male Farfetch'd's leaf blades collided with the Screw Grub's claws first. After a brief stalemate, the Screw Grub was the first to be defeated and was knocked away.
