Chapter 223 Xerneas Creates Life

Legend has it that after the Pokémon left, the battlefield fell silent.

"Mr. Angel!" Ash ran to Angel with Pikachu.

"Xiao Zhi, are you alright?" An Jie asked.

"Don't worry, I'm fine!" Xiao Zhi patted his chest happily and said, "Mr. Anjie, how about you?"

Anjie smiled and said, "I'm fine too."

Ash looked at Xerneas and Iphiel with puzzled eyes and asked:

"Mr. Anger, how did Xerneas and Ifiltar end up here? And didn't Xerneas turn into a tree?"

Before Ange could answer, Xerneas spoke first, "With Ange's help, I have recovered and now I live with Yveltal on the Nibel Plateau."

Ash was very happy for Xerneas upon hearing this and excitedly said, "Mr. Angel is indeed an amazing person."

Anjie humbly replied, "It was all by chance."

At that moment, Citron, Balzac, and the others flew over on the Warrior Eagle and Pokkis.

As soon as she got off Pokkis's back, Mayari excitedly ran towards Hoopa.

"Hoopa!"

"Mayali!" Hoopa flew out of Ange's arms and buried itself in Mayali's arms. "Mayali, I was so scared, I was almost eaten!" it cried as it spoke.

Mayali gently patted its back and said, "It's over, it's all over!"

Hoopa looked up at Ange and Ash and said, "Thanks to everyone's help, you're all amazing!"

"Mr. Anjie, Xiaozhi, thank you so much for your help this time." Upon hearing this, Maya quickly thanked Anjie and Xiaozhi.

Ash scratched his head sheepishly, "I wasn't much of a help. It was all thanks to Mr. Angel who brought Xerneas and Yveltal, as well as that green Pokémon and Volcanion."

Anjie said, "Ash, you're too modest. I think Lugia only helped because of you."

"Huh? Really?" Ash scratched his head.

Balza, carrying Citron, dismounted from the back of the Warrior Eagle and strode quickly to the group, anxiously inquiring,

"Is everyone alright? Are any of you injured?"

After learning that everyone was alright, he breathed a sigh of relief, then looked admiringly at the Pokémon standing behind Angel, including Xerneas, Yveltal, Volcanion, and Diancie, and said:

"I never imagined you, Ange, were such a powerful legendary trainer! This is truly astonishing!"

Ash asked in confusion, "What does 'legendary trainer' mean?"

Mayari explained, "The so-called legendary trainers are those trainers who can command legendary Pokémon."

Ash suddenly realized, "I knew it! Mr. Angel is a very powerful person, a legendary trainer...that sounds so cool."

At that moment, Yurika suddenly noticed the Z2 in Diancie's arms and exclaimed in surprise:

"There's one more little softie, there are two little softies!"

Upon hearing the sound, Z1 pulled its head out of Yurika's handbag.

Serena looked at the two Zygarde Cores in surprise and said, "Really? Two little squishy creatures!"

Ash exclaimed happily, "So Softie isn't all alone after all?"

Anjie smiled and explained to him, "To be precise, the two little softies you're talking about are the same Pokémon."

"Huh???" Everyone gaped in surprise.

Ange continued, "In our Carlos region, there are three gods: Xerneas, the god of life; Yveltal, the god of destruction; and..."

As he spoke, he looked at the two Zygarde Cores.

Citron murmured, "Could it be that Little Softie...?"

Anjie nodded and said, "There is also the God of Order, who is responsible for overseeing the ecological order of the Carlos region. His name is Zygarde."

"The 'little softies' you speak of are the core of Zygarde. When they converge with the cells scattered throughout the Carlos region, the true form of the God of Order will be revealed."

Angel then looked at Ash and said, "The green Pokémon you saw earlier was Zygarde in its ultimate form."

After Anjie finished speaking, everyone looked at Z1 and Z2 in disbelief, especially Ash and the others, who never expected that the little softy that followed them would be so powerful.

Z1 and Z2 were equally surprised; they hadn't expected Ange to know so much about them.

Balza looked at Ange with admiration and said, "Ange, you know so much!"

Anjie waved his hand modestly and said, "I only have a little knowledge of Pokémon."

"This isn't information you can just find out by casually asking around," said Citron.

Anjie changed the subject, saying, "Let's find somewhere else to talk, instead of staying here."

Everyone nodded in agreement upon hearing this.

Then everyone went to rest by a lake created by Kyogre.

Here, verdant meadows have sprung up thanks to Xerneas's life force, and the monsoon winds of Lugia have made it incredibly cool.

Fortunately, Hoopa was sealed away in time, and Regigigas stopped attacking. Otherwise, if this place had been destroyed, Ange and the others would have had nowhere to stay.

Everyone was exhausted after a major battle.

Yveltal, Xerneas, and Volcanion lay side by side on the grass, with Diancie leaning against Xerneas, their fairy auras intertwining.

Anjac also released his other Pokémon.

Vaporeon, Goodra, two Goodra, Ash's Froakie, Goodra, and Hoopa were happily playing in the water.

Jolteon, Flareon, Giratina, Wobbuffet, and Gothic are chasing Gengar and Throwing Monkey, with bursts of joyful laughter echoing through the air.

The two Zygarde Cores lay head to head on the grass, restoring their energy by basking in the sun.

Salamence lay beside them, eyes closed, protecting Z1 and Z2 with its body.

Lucario, Twin Scabbards, and Super Raptor surrounded Angel.

Exhausted, Super Ebony rested its head on Anjie's lap and fell into a deep sleep.

Anjie gently stroked its long neck; it had really worked hard in this battle.

Xiao Zhi and the others gathered around An Jie, and they sat on the grass chatting casually.

"Mr. Ange, are all these Pokémon newly caught by you?"

Ash's gaze swept over Angel's Pokémon one by one, his face showing excitement. He had endless energy whenever Pokémon were mentioned.

Anjie nodded and replied, "Yes, they were all recently subdued."

Ash eagerly said, "Everyone seems really strong."

Anjie immediately understood what he meant, and said with a smile, "You've just been through a thrilling battle, aren't you tired?"

"I'll never get tired of Pokémon battles!" Ash said, clenching his fist.

However, he then relaxed his fist and said, "I know Mr. Anjie must be tired, so let's skip it this time. I'll definitely challenge Mr. Anjie next time I have the chance!"

Anjie shook her head helplessly.

Then everyone started chatting, and Anjie learned from the conversation about the reason for the emergence of Hupa and the origin of the Balza siblings.

After chatting for a while, Ange asked Balzac, "What are you going to do with the Jar of Punishment?"

Balza and Mayali exchanged a glance, then their faces showed concern.

"Hoopa's power has developed its own consciousness and is full of destructive desires. It's worrying to put the Judgment Jar anywhere," Balza said with a worried expression.

At that moment, Yveltal flapped its wings and landed behind Angel, with Xerneas following closely behind.

"We have a way." Xerneas's voice resonated in everyone's hearts.

Balzac and Mayali looked pleasantly surprised upon hearing this.

"real?"

Xerneas said, "Since the consciousness that arises is a problem, then let's just remove it."

Mayali looked reluctant and asked, "Should we kill Shadow Hoopa?"

"No!" Xerneas shook his head. "Does any of you know how to go to the lake and fetch some sand mixed with water?"

Everyone looked puzzled upon hearing this, but Yurika immediately stood up and said, "I, I'll go!"

As she spoke, she ran towards the lake.

"Yulijia, be careful!" Citron shouted worriedly.

"Okay!" Yurika replied.

Before long, with the help of the Pokémon, Yurika returned carrying some water and sand.

Ange took out a plate and had Yurika put water and soil into it, then looked at Xerneas and asked, "What's next?"

Upon hearing this, Xerneas looked at Yveltal, who nodded slightly in response, before turning her gaze to the Jar of Punishment.

A crimson light flashed in Yveltal's eyes, followed by a crimson light emanating from the Jar of Punishment.

The jar of punishment trembled violently, as if struggling, but quickly returned to calm.

To everyone's astonishment, a small ball of light floated out of the Jar of Punishment.

"Let me go! Let me go!"

The ball of light could actually speak! Everyone was stunned.

"That's the consciousness of Shadow Hoopa," Xerneas explained.

Shadow Hoopa is a Dark-type Pokémon, and it cannot defy Yveltal, the God of Destruction, especially since its powers are sealed.

Under Yveltal's control, Shadow Hoopa's consciousness fell into the water and sand in the dish and finally quieted down.

At this moment, both the water and the sand shimmered with a faint purplish-red light.

Then Xerneas stepped forward, his antlers radiating a rainbow of light, and he lowered his head to place the antlers on the basin.

"This..." The sight in the basin left everyone speechless.

The water and sand in the basin quickly mixed together and, after a moment of twisting, transformed into a palm-sized human-shaped clay figurine.

After doing all that, Xerneas looked a little tired.

"Alright!" it said, "Now the Judgment Jar only contains Hoopa's own power! You no longer need to worry about being controlled by touching it."

Balza and the Mayali sect members were delighted upon hearing this, but Anjie's expression turned serious as he said:

"Xerneas, you've given your life to this clay doll?"

Xerneas smiled and said gently to Ange, "It's alright, it's just a little bit, it's nothing serious. I'll eat more to recover."

Anjie sighed deeply and said, "You didn't need to do that at all."

Xernias smiled but remained silent.

Then, to everyone's surprise, the clay figure actually stood up, wobbling slightly.

It first raised its hand to check its own situation. When it found that it had turned into a clay doll, it first showed a look of horror, and then pointed at Anjie and his group and cursed loudly.

Unfortunately, it was just a clay puppet, unable to speak, only making babbling noises that even Anjie couldn't understand.

So everyone stopped paying attention to the clay figure and started chatting happily, letting the clay figure jump and hop around as it pleased.

With Hupa's problem completely resolved, everyone felt relieved.

As time went by and the sun gradually set, someone's stomach suddenly started growling.

Xiao Zhi blushed and covered his stomach, saying, "I'm sorry, I've been hungry for a long time."

"Pikachu~" Pikachu covered its face, looking embarrassed.

Everyone couldn't help but laugh at the two of them.

Anjie stood up and said, "In that case, let's start making dinner!"

Yulijia's face lit up with surprise: "Mr. Anjie, are you going to cook dinner for us?"

Anjie nodded. "That's right. Everyone has worked hard today, so I'll have to cook a big meal tonight to reward everyone."

"Yay! Yay!" Yulijia jumped and danced excitedly.

Balza and Mayali looked puzzled, so Serena explained to them:

"Mr. Anjie is actually a very remarkable chef; his cooking is absolutely... "

Serena racked her brains but couldn't think of any adjectives, so she simply said, "In short, it's delicious! You'll see when you try it!"

Upon hearing this, Balzac and Mayali also began to look forward to dinner that day.

When Serena saw Angel taking out the table and ingredients, she quickly ran over and said, "I'll help too."

Balzac and Mayali ran over and said, "We'll help too."

So everyone set up tables, helped pick and wash vegetables, and for a while everyone was busy.

With everyone's help, Angelo's life became much easier. All he had to do was use Lucario's Aura to process the ingredients and then cook.

Throwing Monkey and Gengar are also helping.

As time went by, dish after dish of food was served.

Braised prawns, stir-fried pork, chicken with mushrooms, boiled sea bass, Kung Pao chicken, fish head with chopped chili peppers, stir-fried beef with scallions, braised eggplant, dry-fried green beans, cold lotus root salad, cold cucumber salad...

Because there were so many Pokémon, Ange prepared a lot of dishes, filling three tables pushed together to the brim.

The fragrance lingered in the air for a long time.

As Mayali helped arrange the chairs, she took a deep breath.

"It smells so good!" she couldn't help but exclaim, her mouth watering rapidly.

Balza nodded and said, "Yes, I didn't expect Ange to be not only a powerful legendary trainer, but also such an amazing cook!"

Once all the dishes were served, everyone and the Pokémon began to enjoy their meal.

Xiao Zhi and his friends had already eaten An Jie's food, so they didn't have time to marvel at it and just kept shoveling food into their mouths.

Balza and Mayali were eating Angel's cooking for the first time. They had never tasted such special food before and were so amazed that they were speechless.

Only then did they finally understand why Yulijia and the others admired Anjie's cooking so much.

The table full of food was eaten up completely.

After dinner, Xiao Zhi and his friends leaned back in their chairs, their bellies round and full.

"I'm so full, so full!" Xiao Zhi muttered.

"I'm so happy to be able to eat Mr. Anjie's cooking again. I really want to bring Mr. Anjie home," Yulijia said.

Everyone was amused by Yurika's words.

"Pasci~Pasci~~" At this moment, the throwing monkey served everyone the fruit juice drinks it had made.

Anjie said, "Everyone, try some. It's good for digestion. I told you not to eat too much, and now you're feeling unwell, aren't you?"

Everyone gave an embarrassed smile.

"Angie's cooking is so delicious, Huba can't resist!" Huba exclaimed excitedly as he flew into the air.

"Exactly! Exactly!" Yulijia chimed in.

After drinking the juice from the throwing monkey, everyone felt much better.

At this moment, Serena noticed the clay figure that was still acting erratically, and asked:

"What should we do with this clay figurine?"

Just as Balzac was about to speak, Xerneas said, "Give it to Angel for safekeeping."

"Me?" An Jie was taken aback.

Xerneas said, "Yes, you don't want to?"

Anjie shook her head and said, "Well, I'm not unwilling."

After exchanging a glance, Balzac said, "Since Xerneas has said so, then I'll leave it to you, Angel."

"Alright!" Anjie had no choice but to agree.

After chatting for a while, the temperature around them began to drop, and then they went into their respective tents to rest.

Before resting, Ange planned to teleport Gengar, Xerneas, and Yveltal back home.

He also said to Lucario and the others, "Lucario, Giratina, Gothic, Wobbuffet, Goodra, Goodie, Jolteon, Flareon, Vaporeon, why don't you go home with Gengar and Xerneas first?"

"Shavo~"

"Pfft~"

"Sander~"

The three Eevee dogs were the first to say no problem; they had been looking forward to seeing what Angel's house was like.

Then, Noodle Dragon and the two Noodle Girls nodded in agreement.

Lucario hesitated for a moment, but when Angel suggested that it go back and get used to Inteleon, it agreed.

Since Lucario agreed, Gothic Baby and the others naturally had no objections.

Seeing that everyone agreed, Angel used a Poké Ball to recall them, and then gave the Poké Ball to Gengar.

"Gen~~" Gengar waved goodbye to everyone while holding a bunch of Poké Balls, and disappeared from the spot the next second.

After everyone went home, Angel took Diancie, Throwing Monkey, Twin Blade Sheath, Salamence, Z2, and the little clay doll that could move into the tent.

Anjie was too tired to tell stories today, so she said to everyone:

"Go to bed early tonight, everyone. Goodnight."

Tianxi: "Goodnight, Angie."

After saying goodnight to Ange, the Pokémon gradually drifted off to sleep. Even the Claydol, tired from its antics, quieted down and lay down obediently next to Ange.

Anjie's gaze swept over everyone, and seeing that they were all sleeping soundly, a smile appeared on her face.

Anjie couldn't sleep yet because he still had something to do: collect the mission rewards!

Anjie was filled with anticipation, wondering what the reward would be for accomplishing something great today.
