Chapter 217 The Surprise from Diancie

Anjie didn't take all the evolution stones at once, but only picked a few.

Thinking of the three Hot Chili Babies at home waiting to evolve into Chili Peppers, he chose three Fire Stones.

This is where the Fire Stones are most abundant.

Thinking that he still had two Bellsprouts at home waiting to evolve into Victreebel, he picked out two more Leaf Stones.

Furthermore, it takes a Light Stone to evolve from Flowerleaf into Lady Florges, and Ange even picked out a Light Stone.

Anjie didn't choose any of the others.

After putting away the Evolution Stones, Ange said to the Rogue Crocodile, "These few are enough for me. You can keep the rest."

The rogue crocodile nodded and picked up the remaining evolution stones one by one from the ground.

Anjie said, "I'll teach you a way to get food."

"Awoo~"

"Wow~"

The rogue crocodile looked at Anjie with surprise.

Anja said, "Next time you encounter travelers in the desert, you can try trading these evolution stones for food with them."

Upon hearing this, the rogue crocodile and the desert dragonfly's eyes lit up immediately.

Anjay continued, "You can even take the evolution stones to the desert city not far from here, find passing trainers, and trade food with them."

At the speed of a desert dragonfly, a trip to Desert City shouldn't take long.

The rogue crocodile and the desert dragonfly were even happier to hear this.

Then Ange warned them: "Evolution stones are relatively expensive items in the human world, so if someone tries to trade you a small amount of food, remember to refuse."

The rogue crocodile and the desert dragonfly nodded repeatedly.

"Also, don't reveal that you have too many evolution stones at once, otherwise you'll easily get robbed. Just take one at a time."

"Also, don't do business with the same person in the same place multiple times."

Anjay explained the precautions to Flygon and Krookodile one by one, and the two Pokémon listened and nodded.

After giving instructions to the two Pokémon, Angel and Balzac returned to the ground under their guidance.

"Rogue Crocodile, Desert Dragonfly, let's part ways here!" Anjie said.

"Wow~"

"Awoo~"

The rogue crocodile and the desert dragonfly nodded.

Then Balzac said to Ange, "We must part ways here as well."

Ange was heading in the direction of the dunes, while Balza was also searching for what he was looking for.

"Okay, see you later," Anjie said.

Until we meet again.

After saying goodbye, everyone went their separate ways. Anjie rode his super-powered ostrich and sped towards the sand dune that the rogue crocodile had pointed out.

In the sky, Z2 was perched atop the Flying Dragon's head, silently watching Ange gradually disappear into the distance.

As the saying goes, "looking at a mountain makes a horse run itself to death," by the time Anjie reached the sand dunes, it was already completely dark.

Seeing that it was no longer a good time to travel, Angel said to the Pokémon, "Let's spend the night here."

"Yo yo~"

"Pfft~"

"Ace~"

The three Pokémon nodded.

Anjay dismounted from Diancie's back, then took out a Poké Ball and released Diancie, Volcanion, Throwing Monkey, Jolteon, Vaporeon, Goodra, and two Goodra.

After being cooped up all day, Volcanion and Monkey burst out of their Poké Balls and ran around in the sand as if venting their frustrations.

Vaporeon and Jolteon also let out a long howl, then cast envious glances at Flareon.

Afterwards, everyone worked together to set up tents, tables, and ingredients, keeping themselves very busy and happy.

As the sun set, the desert temperature finally cooled down.

Anjie even took out a large basin and filled it with water.

Watching the Vaporeon swimming around in the water, and the Slump curled up in a soft ball in the water, Anja asked with a smile:

"How is it? Is it comfortable?"

Vaporeon replied, "Saw~ Saw! That feels so good!"

"Lumei~"

"Lumei~"

The two sticky girls squinted their eyes, looking quite content.

As for the sticky dragon, it's too big to fit in the water basin, so you can only sprinkle some water on it from the outside.

After everyone had set up their tents and everything else, Anjie began preparing dinner. He said to everyone:

"It's too hot today, I don't have an appetite for anything else. How about we have cold noodles?"

"Percy!" I agree!

The monkey that threw the object was the first to raise its hand in agreement.

"I have no objection either," Tianxi replied.

"I want some cold noodles too," Porcanion said.

Vaporeon, Jolteon, and Flareon didn't know what cold noodles were, but when they heard Diancie and the others say they wanted to eat them, they thought they must be delicious, so they jumped around in agreement.

As for the sticky dragons, they did not express any opinion.

Anjie smiled and said, "Okay, then we'll have cold noodles then. Let's have shredded chicken cold noodles."

As he spoke, he began to act.

"Pasci~~" I'll help.

The throwing monkey leaped to Anjie's side.

Although it focuses on brewing and making drinks, it also trains with Anjie and the others and has been exposed to cooking skills, so it's not like it doesn't know any cooking skills at all.

While Ange was cooking, Diancie sat quietly in her chair waiting, with three Eevee perched beside her, gazing longingly at her.

Sticky Dragon squatted by the water basin, occasionally scooping up a little water and pouring it on the heads of the two Sticky Girls.

"Lumei~"

"Lumei~"

They would occasionally glance at Anjie as he busied himself, and felt that his figure appeared exceptionally tall against the backdrop of the setting sun.

After a long day of running around, the Super-Powerful Ostrich now rested in the shade of the tent, its eyes closed, with the double sword sheaths resting against its body.

High in the air, Z2 looked at the heartwarming scene below, lost in thought for a moment.

Anjie took out more than a dozen pieces of chicken breast and washed them clean.

Take out another pot, add cold water, scallions, ginger, star anise, Sichuan peppercorns and other seasonings, then put the chicken breast in and cook it until done.

After lighting the fire, Angie said to Throwing Monkey, "Throwing Monkey, watch the fire for me."

"Pasie~ Okay!"

As he spoke, the throwing monkey silently stood guard in front of the pot.

Anjie herself took out side dishes such as cucumber, carrot, and tomato, cut them into shreds or slices, and then took out scallions, garlic, and cilantro and chopped them.

He set the chopped side dishes aside for later use, and then took out buckwheat noodles and soaked them in warm water.

While the buckwheat noodles were soaking, Anjie started preparing the sauce.

Mix rice vinegar, oyster sauce, chili oil, sesame oil, rock salt, sugar, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, and aged vinegar in a certain proportion, then add a little bit of fermented bean paste and stir well to make the sauce.

It's a pity the mushrooms at home haven't grown well yet, otherwise, adding a little bit of mushroom seasoning and spicy mushroom sauce would make the cold noodles taste wonderful.

After the buckwheat noodles were soaked, Anjie took out a large bowl, put the drained noodles and the prepared sauce into it and stirred.

Because the Pokémon eat so much, he can only use a bowl to mix the noodles.

After the noodles were mixed, the monkeys, following Anjie's instructions, shredded the cooked chicken breast into strips.

Anjie took out plates and put the mixed noodles into the plates, then added the previously prepared side dishes and shredded chicken.

The shredded chicken noodles are now ready.

"Dinner's ready!" Angie shouted to the Pokémon after finishing cooking.

"Shavo~"

"Sander~"

"Pfft~"

The three Eevee dogs immediately ran to Angel's feet, looking at him longingly, but unfortunately they didn't have hands and couldn't help carry the plate.

Anjie said with a smile, "You guys go wait over there, you'll be able to eat soon."

The Ibrahimovic dogs cheered and immediately ran back to the table and squatted down, obediently waiting for their meal. Their adorable appearance was just like three dogs wagging their tails.

Tianxi came over and carried the plates to the table one by one. Seeing this, Nianmeilong brought Nianmeier over to help.

Anjie handed the plate to Sticky Dragon and said to it, "Sticky Dragon, thank you!"

Feeling embarrassed, Nian Meilong quickly picked up the plate and ran away.

Anjie couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Once all the plates were on the table, Anjie announced, "Let's eat!"

The Pokémon cheered and immediately began to feast.

"Shawo~ Shawo~"

"Sander~Sander~"

"Hiss~ Hiss~"

The three Eevee were once again impressed by Angelina's cooking skills. After taking a bite, they trembled and exclaimed in amazement.

too delicious!

I'm so happy to be with Anjie!

At this moment, the three Eevee were incredibly grateful that they had chosen to stay with Angel.

Goodra and the two Goodra were also amazed by Angel's cooking skills, but they were reserved and not as expressive as the three Eevee.

While Ange and his friends were enjoying their dinner, Z2 and Salamence were suffering in the air.

"I really want to go down and eat together..." the Flying Dragon couldn't help but think.

After dinner, the temperature in the desert began to drop rapidly, and Anjie couldn't help but shiver.

"It suddenly got cold, no wonder it's a desert," he said, hugging his arms.

At this moment, Tianxi suddenly said mysteriously, "Anjie, I had already considered this situation, so I prepared a gift for you."

Anjie asked in surprise, "What gift?"

Tianxi smiled and took a bag out of her system backpack.

"See if you like it."

With a puzzled look, Anjie opened the bag, took out the contents, and spread them out. To her surprise, she found that it was a wool shirt.

"This...this...you made this for me?" Anjie stroked it lovingly.

Tianxi nodded. "They've all been delivered to you. If they weren't for you, who else could they be for?"

The shirt is generally light yellow, with white stripes on the collar and cuffs, and simple patterns embroidered on the front.

The design features a group of Pokémon heads surrounding a small human head.

The little figure in the middle is clearly Angel, and the Pokémon heads surrounding Angel's head are Diancie, Komaru, Snorlax, Inteleon, Gengar, Babutop, Metagross, Magearna, Volcanion, and Throwing Monkey.

Because the double sword sheaths were added later, they do not have their design on them.

"Do you like it?" Tianxi asked.

"I love it! I love it so much!" Angie couldn't help but give Diancie a hug. "This is the best gift I've ever received."

Ange's words warmed Tianxi's heart; her efforts had not been in vain.

After releasing Tianxi, Anjie gently stroked the shirt, saying repeatedly, "It's so well knitted. Considering this, I won't hold it against you for taking so long to keep your promise."

Tianxi slapped Ange in annoyance, "You're really getting the better of me and then acting innocent!"

Anjie hugged the shirt and grinned foolishly.

Tianxi reminded him, "Try them on quickly and see if they fit."

Hearing this, Anjie put the shirt on while muttering, "I really don't want to wear it. If I get it dirty or ruined, I'll be heartbroken."

Tianxi said irritably, "Isn't it knitted for you to wear? If it gets dirty, just wash it; if it's ruined, I'll knit it again for you."

Hearing this, Anjie said with a smile, "Tianxi, you're so kind."

A hint of tenderness flashed across Tianxi's face. "If I'm not good to you, who else should I be good to?"

After putting on the shirt, Anjie found that the size was perfect, so she twirled around to show off.

"How is it?" he asked Tianxi.

Diancie gave a thumbs up. "Perfect."

Upon seeing this, the throwing monkeys all stepped forward and said that the shirt suited Anjie very well, and that Anjie looked both handsome and good-looking in it.

"You guys are really something... Where did you learn to be so sweet-talking?" Anjie couldn't stop smiling as they praised her.

Throwing Monkey, Super Raptor, and Double Sheath all burst out laughing. The three Eevee ran to Anja's side and affectionately nuzzled Anja with their heads.

Even Nianmeilong and Nianmeier had a smile on their faces that they themselves didn't realize.

Anjie patted her stomach and said, "The shirts that Tianxi knitted are so warm, I'm not cold at all."

As time went by, the temperature in the desert dropped lower and lower, and Anjie saw that the throwing monkeys were starting to shiver, so he said:

"Let's go inside the tent."

The Pokémon all nodded, and then they all went into the tent together, huddling close together.

Although the tent wasn't very big, everyone huddled together for warmth, and it quickly became cozy inside.

Nian Meilong looked at Nian Meier on both sides and silently reached out to hug them tightly.

Vaporeon looked at Jolteon on its left and then at Flareon on its right, then smiled and rubbed its head against each of them vigorously.

Reebu: (`)**

Fire Eevee: (#｀ dish)

Tianxi glanced at Ange and reached out to take his arm.

Throwing Monkey leaned against the back of Super Elegant Ostrich, clutching the double sword sheaths tightly in his arms.

A warm atmosphere filled the small space.

Anjie suggested, "Since no one can sleep, why don't we tell a story?"

They looked at each other, puzzled. But they couldn't tell stories.

"In that case, I'll start," Anjie volunteered.

"Pfft~~"

"Yo yo~~"

The Pokémon immediately became interested.

So Anjie began, "Once upon a time, there was a fiery monkey..."

Anjie adapted the story of "Journey to the West" from his previous life into Pokémon, telling a mythological version of the Pokémon story. The plot was so captivating that everyone listened with fascination.

However, as time went by, everyone became sleepy and soon they snuggled together and fell asleep.

Anjie wrapped the blanket around herself, whispered "Goodnight" to everyone, and then closed her eyes and drifted off to sleep.

The next day, after getting up, Angel and the Pokémon had a pleasant breakfast together, then packed their things and continued on their way.

Beyond the sand dunes, a patch of green appeared in Anjie and his companions' sight once again.

Looking at the greenery in the distance, Anjie said, "It's not going to be another spiky cactus this time, is it?"

"Ace~ Ace~" Let's go check it out!

Super Ecliptic suggested.

"Alright!" Anjie nodded.

"Ace~~" The super-powered ostrich cried out and took long strides, rushing towards the direction of the greenery.

As they got closer, Anjie's face lit up with surprise—it was an oasis! It really was an oasis!

Upon approaching the oasis, the first thing Angel and his friends saw was a meadow where various Pokémon, such as Vivavo, Pidgey, and Poliwrath, were playing.

Upon seeing Angel and his friends, the Pokémon seemed startled and dashed into the woods.

With two sword sheaths on his back and riding his Psychic Rumblebee, Ange slowly walked towards the depths of the oasis with Flareon in to find a reliable Pokémon to scout out the situation.

One by one, the wild Pokémon peeked out from the forest, silently observing Anjay and his group.

When they see Anjie looking at them, they immediately and quickly pull their heads back.

When they reached the very center of the oasis, Anjie and his companions saw a lake surrounded by lush green grass and many fruit trees laden with fruit.

As soon as Anjie stopped, he saw Pokémon emerging from the lake one after another.

These Pokémon have pink bodies, curly ears, white and dull eyes, and cream-colored mouths.

Slowpoke! So many Slowpoke! Ange exclaimed in surprise.

Slowpoke, a goofy Pokémon, is a Water/Psychic type Pokémon that is slow to react but likes to fish with its tail near the water.

The Slowpokes all stared blankly at Ange and his friends.

Just as Ange was wondering how to deal with these Slowpokes, two more Pokémon surfaced.

One of them is a fish-shaped Pokémon with tentacles on its head; it's a Water/Electric type Lantern.

The other Pokémon also has pink skin, but unlike the Slowpoke lying on the ground, it stands upright with its hands casually behind its back and a crown made of seashells on its head.

Slowking, the King Pokémon, is a Water/Psychic type. It possesses exceptional intelligence and the ability to command all Slowpoke and Slowbro.

Slowking emerges from the water standing on top of Lantern, which makes it look even more regal.

"Ya-dong~ Ya-dong~" Human, what brings you here?

"Dazed King asked Anjie."

Slowking had only asked casually, since humans couldn't understand their language, but to his surprise, Ange actually answered.

"I'm here looking for Lucario. Have you seen any trace of Lucario around here?"

Dazed King was taken aback.

"Ya-dong?" Can you understand me?

"That's right." Anjie nodded.

"Strange humans," Slowking said.

"So you've seen Lucario?" Angel asked again.

Slowking nodded. "So you're looking for Lucario! Of course we've met before."

Upon hearing this, An Jie asked with delight, "Could you please give me directions?"

After a moment of contemplation, Dazed King said, "Ya-dong~ Ya-dong~" I'll find a partner to guide you! Otherwise, you'll have a hard time finding it.

"Really? Thank you so much!" Anjie quickly thanked Dazed King.

Dumb King said, "Yadong~ Yadong~~~" You're welcome. You're here to tame it, right? That guy often comes here to steal our food. Taming it will be a huge help to us!

So that's how it is! Anjie was both amused and exasperated. He had wondered why the dazed king had agreed to help so readily.
