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

Chapter 215 Reunion with Zygarde

When they came to a lake, Polcanion suddenly stopped.

Ange asked in confusion, "Polcanion, what's wrong?"

Porcanion replied, "I want to get some water."

Polcanion generates steam using the high temperature and water inside its body, but it does not produce water itself, so it needs to constantly absorb water from the outside world.

Anjie nodded and said, "Okay, let's rest here for a while then."

The scenery around the lake is quite nice, making it a great place for camping.

As she spoke, Anjie urged the Super Ostrich and Polcanion to the lakeside.

Seeing this, the two sword sheaths and three Eevee quickly followed.

Upon reaching the lake, Polcanion untied his arms from his back and plunged them into the lake, beginning to pump water with a gurgling sound.

"Shawo~ Shawo~"

Upon seeing the lake, Vaporeon was overjoyed and leaped into the water, swimming freely.

Anjie then took out a picnic blanket and spread it on the grass by the lake with the Pokémon. She then took out all sorts of desserts from her system backpack.

Maya made all of these for him: soft little breads, cakes of various flavors, colorful donuts, and beautiful and exquisite macarons...

Because Magiana awakened her waveguide ability, some of the desserts she makes have special effects.

Examples include donuts that quickly restore stamina, macarons that remove abnormal statuses, and cakes that help Pokémon relax.

Meanwhile, the throwing monkey took out bottles of different flavored fruit juice drinks from its system inventory, such as rock salt lemon sparkling water, banana fruit matcha milkshake, and bastard fruit tea.

In no time, the entire picnic blanket was covered with all kinds of food and drinks.

Ange said to Goomy, Goomy, Flareon, and Jolteon, "Everyone, hurry up and try it!"

Flareon and Jolteon cheered and started eating.

Sticky Dragon and Sticky Girl were still a little embarrassed, so Anjie placed a cake in front of them to soothe their emotions and said:

"Try it, it's delicious! You'll love it."

Upon hearing this, Nian Meilong and Nian Meier each picked up a piece of cake and began to savor it in small bites.

As expected, Magiana's skills were outstanding. Nianmeilong and Nianmeier were instantly captivated, and expressions of enjoyment appeared on their faces.

Anjie smiled upon seeing this.

As he watched everyone enjoy the food, he began to explain its origins.

"This was all specially made by Maya."

You probably don't know Magiana yet, right? She's also our partner, but she's not with me. You'll get to know her once you come home with me.

"We have so many friends in our family, and I'll introduce them to you all one by one..."

As they talked, Anjie involuntarily began to talk about the Nibel Plateau.

Nian Meilong and Nian Meier pricked up their ears, enjoying their food while listening quietly to An Jie speak.

At this moment, Water Eevee and Volcanion returned.

Polcanion slowly walked to Ange's side and silently lay down. Seeing this, Ange placed a box of donuts in front of it.

Vaporeon squeezed between Jolteon and Flareon.

"Pfft~~" Flareon looked disgusted.

"Saw~~" Vaporeon smiled and licked Flareon.

Flareon: (ω)

"Sander~~" Reibu pushed a glass of juice in front of Suicune.

Seeing this, Vaporeon licked Jolteon again, then lowered its head and began to drink its juice.

Fire Eevee: (▼ヘ▼#)

Anjie was still telling everyone about the Nibel Plateau when suddenly a sticky little girl screamed.

Anjie quickly looked over and saw that a Pokémon had appeared on the head of the other Goomy at some point.

Angel recognized this Pokémon; it was Z2, which he had previously rescued from Team Flare.

"Zigelder? What are you doing here?" Ange asked in surprise.

He suddenly realized a problem, so he quickly took out his phone to check the map, and then thought to himself:

really!

They are currently not far from the Cavern of the End, which is Zygarde's residence in the game.

Ange traveled to the world of the animation, but it seems that Zygarde in the animation also lives in the End Cave.

Zygard possesses cells that monitor the entire Carlos region, so it's perfectly normal for him to know he's here.

Z2 jumped off Nianmei'er's head and hopped over to Anjie's side.

Angie brought over a box of Macrons and asked, "Want some?"

Z2 hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded slightly.

Seeing this, Angie placed Macron in front of him and then took a glass of juice and placed it next to him.

Z2 wriggled to the box and started eating in small bites, occasionally biting the straw to take a sip of juice.

Magiana's desserts and the throwing monkey's juice seemed to suit its taste perfectly. Despite being a small ball, it ate an entire box of macarons and more than a dozen cakes of different flavors, and drank more than a dozen cups of juice.

After eating and drinking to their hearts' content, Z2 simply lay down on the grass to sunbathe.

The Zygarde Core can absorb solar energy using crystals in the center of its body, thereby gaining energy.

As evening fell, Anjie realized it was no longer a good time to travel, so he said to everyone, "Let's spend the night here!"

The Pokémon all nodded in agreement.

Then Ange started setting up tents with the Pokémon.

By the time the tent was set up, it was almost dark. Since Anjie had eaten a lot of desserts and drunk a lot of fruit juice in the afternoon, she didn't rush to make dinner.

He spread a blanket in front of the tent, and then he and Tianxi lay down on it.

"It feels quite nice to have the evening breeze like this."

Since summer has begun and daytime temperatures are quite high, the evening breeze feels especially cool.

"Yes!" Tianxi chimed in.

"Shavo~"

"Pfft~"

"Sander~"

Seeing this, the three Eevee dogs jumped onto the blanket and lay down, looking up at the stars that were beginning to appear sparsely in the sky.

Polden, standing nearby, spoiled the mood by saying, "If you want to feel the wind, I can blow you all away in one breath."

Anjie was speechless upon hearing this and said, "Polcanion, you're not very likable."

"Hmph~~" Pulcanion scoffed, looking up. "I don't need anyone's approval!"

Ange chatted and joked with the Pokémon in a casual manner.

The twin sword sheaths lay beside Anjie, while the sticky dragon and its two sticky little ones lay in a corner of the blanket, listening quietly to Anjie speak.

The throwing monkey leaned against the super-powerful ostrich, occasionally chiming in with a comment.

Zygarde Core watched Angel and a group of Pokémon getting along harmoniously, and for a moment it was unclear what it was thinking.

When everyone started to get hungry, Anjie began to cook.

He took out a table and placed it on the open ground next to him, and then took out cooking utensils, ingredients, seasonings, and so on.

As time went by, a rich aroma began to fill the air.

Sticky Dragon, Sticky Girl, and the three Eevee have never tasted Angie's cooking before, and for a moment they were all drooling while watching Angie cook.

Tianxi smiled and said to them, "You're in luck, Anjie's cooking is top-notch."

Slurp~ Upon hearing this, the six Pokémon all swallowed hard.

The Z2 is another one that's secretly making my mouth water.

As time went on, dish after dish was served.

Vegetarian dishes include: spicy and sour shredded cabbage, tomato baby bok choy, pan-fried tofu, ginger spinach, dry-fried green beans, and smashed cucumber.

Meat dishes include: sweet and sour pork, braised pork trotters, braised chicken with potatoes, and braised chicken wings.

Add another soup: mushroom and tofu soup.

The staple food is rice.

Because Pokémon have big appetites, Ange makes sure to prepare generous portions of each dish.

After all the dishes were served, Anjie said, "Alright, we can start eating now."

Upon hearing this, the Pokémon erupted in excited cheers.

Once they actually tasted the food, the three Eevee and Goodra realized just how good Diancie's cooking was!

It's so delicious!

They originally thought that following Anjie for a day meant they wouldn't have to worry about being beaten or scolded, or being turned into stone, and they could do whatever they wanted, which was already enough happiness. Little did they know that there was something even happier.

They had never tasted anything so delicious before.

Seeing the newly joined Pokémon eating with great satisfaction, Angie felt quite pleased with himself.

"Eat slowly, everyone. There's plenty more, you can have as much as you want."

"Shavo~"

"Mellon~"

……

Several Pokémon looked up at Ange and called out, then obediently began to chew slowly.

Anjie nodded in satisfaction.

Then he noticed that the Zygarde Core was staring intently at them, so he extended an invitation:

"Zigelder, want to grab something to eat?"

Z2 had been waiting for Anjie's words, and immediately leaped onto the table, patting its tail and waiting to be fed.

Seeing this, Anjie took a plate and placed it in front of Z2, put some rice and some vegetables on the plate, and also put a bowl of soup next to it.

"Alright, eat up."

Upon hearing this, Z2 immediately began to eat heartily.

In the end, the Pokémon ate every last bit of the food that Angelie made.

After eating and drinking their fill, they lay sprawled on the blanket, their faces full of contentment.

Anjay played with the Pokémon for a while before going into the tent to sleep.

Before entering the tent, Anjie asked Z2, "Want to come along?"

Z2 did not accept Anjie's invitation. Instead, he leaped onto a tree, lay on a branch, and closed his eyes.

Seeing this, Anjie stopped insisting and turned to go into the tent.

The next day, when Ange woke up and went out of the tent, he found that the Zygarde Core had disappeared.

"They're gone..." he sighed.

"Angel, look!" Tianxi called out to Angel.

Anjie looked in the direction of the sound and saw that Tianxi was holding a green scale the size of an adult's palm.

That's... Zygarde's dragon scale?

"Where did it come from?" Anjie asked.

Tianxi pointed to the table and said, "Just put it on the table."

Ange took the scale from Diancie and said, "It seems to have been left by Zygarde."

"It ate your food," Tianxi said. "Maybe that's what it paid for the meal."

Anjie shook his head helplessly, "Nobody's asking it for it."

Diancie laughed and said, "Pokémon have their own principles, especially Zygarde."

"That's true!" Anjie stared at the dragon scale for a while and said, "Since it gave it to us, let's not be stingy and accept it!"

After collecting the dragon scales into her system inventory, Anjie began making breakfast for everyone.

There was some leftover rice from last night, so Anjie used it to make fried rice.

After everyone enjoyed a delicious breakfast, they continued their journey towards Desert City.

However, what Ange didn't know was that Z2 was riding on the back of a Salamence, following far behind him.

Having been hurt by Team Flare, Z2 distrusts humans, but it encounters a special person named Angel, who not only saves it but also doesn't covet its power even after knowing its identity.

So Z2 decided to take a closer look at this special human.

About half a day later, Anjie and his group finally arrived at this special city adjacent to the desert—Desert City!

Anjie originally thought that since Desert City was located near the desert, it shouldn't be a bustling city.

But he was wrong.

Walking on the streets of Desert City, you see towering buildings everywhere, with crowds thronging the streets, clearly a bustling metropolis.

The temperature is a bit high.

But there's nothing we can do about it, since summer is here and the area is close to the desert.

As Anjie passed a building in the city center, he finally understood why this desert city was so prosperous.

Legend has it that a hundred years ago, a Pokémon came to Desert City, which was then just a desolate village.

That Pokémon was very powerful, so people respected it greatly and often offered it food.

In gratitude for the people who provided it with food, it bestowed upon them a great deal of wealth.

With the help of this wealth, people quickly became rich, and the desert city gradually developed.

However, people's hearts can change.

After becoming wealthy, they began to want to see that Pokémon battle, so they sought out various powerful Pokémon to challenge it, but without exception, they were all defeated.

But people weren't satisfied with that, so they let that Pokémon continue to demonstrate its power.

The Pokémon did not refuse people's requests; it summoned various legendary Pokémon and made them fight each other.

Because of the battles between these powerful Pokémon, Desert City suffered a huge disaster, and only then did people finally regret their actions.

Unfortunately, it's too late to regret it.

People's hearts change, and so do the hearts of Pokémon.

Originally innocent, the Pokémon has been influenced by human nature and has become complacent about its own power. It has come to enjoy controlling legendary Pokémon and making them fight each other, so it is unwilling to stop the battle between legendary Pokémon to avert disaster.

Until someone appeared, he used the power of fire, water and earth to create a pot, which finally sealed the Pokémon away.

The place where the "Sealing Jar" was made is located on the Pillar of Punishment in the center of the desert city.

The Pillar of Punishment has now become a tourist attraction.

The legend is inscribed on the Pillar of Punishment.

The Sealed Jar? The Pillar of Punishment?

After reading the story, Anjie thought: Could the Pokémon mentioned here be Hoopa?

After reading the story on the Pillar of Punishment, Anjie didn't take it seriously and turned to leave.

Because it was too hot, he didn't even feel like sightseeing. After resting in the desert city for a while, he set off towards the location provided by the netizens.

Because she didn't want her Pokémon to suffer along with her, Angela only kept her twin sword sheaths with her, besides the Psychic Raptor she was riding and the heat-resistant Flareon.

Ange originally wanted to put the Twin Blades in the Poké Ball as well, since Steel-type Pokémon are also afraid of heat.

But it refused to follow Anjie's arrangements and stubbornly insisted on staying by Anjie's side, leaving Anjie with no choice but to let it go.

As soon as they left the desert city, Anjie and his group entered the desert area.

"Yo~ Yo~"

At this moment, the two sword sheaths cried out excitedly.

Anjie followed its gaze and saw many sand hippos and hippopotamus living in the sand.

"So they are sand hippos and hippopotamus!" Anjie laughed.

"Hiss~ Hiss~"

Flareon looked up at Angel and Saber Sheath, not understanding why Saber Sheath was excited to see Hippowdon and Hippomon.

Anjie explained, "Because we also have a sand hippopotamus and a hippopotamus at home, you'll be able to meet them after you come back with us."

"Pfft~~" Flareon suddenly realized what was going on, and at the same time, it began to look forward to the day when it could return to the Nibel Plateau with Angel.

As they ventured deeper into the desert, the desert city gradually disappeared from Anjie and his companions' sight.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, Anjie and his group had completely penetrated deep into the desert.

The desert temperature was extremely high during the day, and Anjie could only drink water constantly because of the heat.

Because the double sword sheaths couldn't withstand the high temperature, An Jie wrapped them in cloth and carried them on his back.

Only Mega Rumblebee and Flareon are unaffected.

The Super Raptor can release superpowers from the gaps in its feathers, keeping heat out. Therefore, it is not afraid of the hot desert environment at all.

Needless to say, Flareon has a fire sac inside its body, which absorbs and stores heat as soon as it gets close.

Anjie asked dejectedly, "Super Powerful Ostrich, could you use your superpower to help me insulate myself from the heat?"

"Ace~ Ace~"

Super-Powerful Ostrich shook its head; it wasn't powerful enough to be that powerful.

Upon hearing this, An Jie sighed deeply. He took out his phone and checked the location sent to him by his online friend, only to find that it was still far from his current location.

"Why would Lucario, a Steel-type Pokémon, run into the desert?!" he couldn't help but complain.

"Ace~ Ace~" Super Powerful Ostrich shook its head, indicating that it didn't know either.

"I wish I had an Ice-type Pokémon to hold right now. I don't ask for much, either an Ice-type Eevee or an Ice-type Vulpix would be fine!" Angie was so hot that her brain was out of control and she started talking nonsense.

"Pfft~ Pfft~~"

Suddenly, Flareon cried out in one direction.

Anjie followed its gaze and saw a patch of greenery in the distance.

"Could it be an oasis?" Anjie exclaimed with delight. "Quick, let's go over and rest for a bit!"

As she spoke, An Jie spurred the Super Powerful Ostrich toward the greenery.

However, when he arrived at the destination, he was disappointed to find that the greenery in front of him was not an oasis at all, but a group of spiky cacti lying in the sand.

The commotion caused by Anjie and his group made all the spiny cacti, which had been resting with their eyes closed, open their eyes.

The reason why the spiny cacti lie motionless in the sand is to reduce the evaporation of water from their bodies.

Now that Anjie and the others have disturbed us, how can we not be angry?
