Chapter 224 Meditation Practice

As soon as Anjie opened the system, he saw that the "Emergency Task" on the taskbar had been completed.

He rubbed his hands together excitedly, then clicked to claim.

"Congratulations, Master, on completing the [Emergency Mission] to help Desert City overcome the crisis caused by the liberation of Hoopa."

Rewards: Constitution +5, Intelligence +5, Individual Values ​​+10, Title [Hand of God] (Increases the probability of special effects occurring when cooking food by 20%).

Upon seeing the reward, Anjie's eyes widened in disbelief.

The title "Hand of God"! This reward is incredibly useful!

Compared to it, the previously decent physical, intelligence, and individual value rewards suddenly became insignificant.

Anjie quickly opened her information panel.

Anjie

Race: human

Sex: Male

Age: 17 (+500)

Physical condition: 78

Intelligence: 38

Culinary skills assessment: A young talent with outstanding culinary skills.

Title: Hand of God (Increases the probability of special effects occurring when cooking by 20%)

Sure enough, a new title slot has appeared above!

Moreover, the system's evaluation of him has also undergone a huge change.

Excellent culinary skills, a young talent! What a pleasing compliment!

After admiring his stats for a while, Anjie started working on the 10 individual values ​​he had just gained.

After pondering for a while, he first added one of the points to the tree-pillow koala.

The Koala is just one point away from maxing out its individual values, and that one point is very important to it. It would be a shame not to give it that point, and Ange himself felt awkward about it.

This looks much better! Anjie was completely satisfied.

There are 9 points left, so of course we should continue to add them to the Thousand Faces Escaper.

Ange added 5 points to Special Defense, so that the Special Defense IV of the Thousand Faces was full.

The remaining 4 points will be added to the only stat that isn't maxed out yet: physical defense.

With this, it's only a matter of time before Inteleon becomes a Pokémon with perfect IVs (commonly known as 6IV)!

Anjie then collected the daily task rewards and went to sleep.

The rewards for daily tasks remain unremarkable.

Of the three fixed daily tasks, only entertaining guests did not require Anjie to do it personally, so it was completed.

He didn't have time to do the other two, namely, cultivating wave guidance and training his cooking skills, so he didn't receive any rewards.

The next morning, Anjie woke up to a surprised cry.

Tianxi shouted, "Angel, get up and look!"

"What's wrong?" Anjie opened his eyes groggily, rubbed them, and was surprised to find that there was a Pokémon in his tent.

"Libra? Where did you come from?" he asked blankly.

"Dumb-dumb~"

The Libra doll was acting crazy, shaking its body incessantly, trying to break free of its restraints, but it could only watch helplessly because Diancie was holding it tightly.

Its crazy behavior... I feel like I've seen it somewhere before.

That's right! It's a clay doll possessed by Hoopa's consciousness!

Thinking of this, Anjie hurriedly started looking for the clay figurine, but couldn't find it no matter what she did.

"Could it be... that this Libra puppet is a transformation of that clay puppet?" Anjie wondered, looking at the Libra puppet.

Tianxi said, "I think so too."

When it woke up in the morning, it saw Libra lying sprawled out, sleeping not far away.

Seeing Libra's incoherent screaming, Anjie became even more certain of her guess.

Legend has it that Libra Doll is actually a clay doll Pokémon created by ancient people using special powers. They once lived in large numbers with ancient people and are now mostly found in ancient ruins and tombs.

In retrospect, this legend does indeed have a certain degree of credibility.

There are examples of abandoned dolls turning into cursed dolls because they are filled with resentment, so it's not surprising that dirt can turn into Pokémon.

Ange suddenly realized that Xerneas had asked for the clay doll for him on his own initiative. Could it be that Xerneas had already foreseen this situation?

After having this guess, Anjie was both amused and exasperated.

Perhaps this Libra has something special about it, after all, it was created by the God of Life using the consciousness of a Mythical Pokémon.

Even the water and sand that made it were influenced by the power of Kyogre and Groudon, respectively.

Anjie looked at the Libra doll with her observant eyes.

【Characteristics】Floating

[Skills] Harden, Throw Mud

Individual Value

A Pokémon with perfect IVs! Ange couldn't help but show surprise!

However, upon closer reflection, it seemed to make sense.

Anjie looked again and again, and found that apart from the perfect individual values, he did not see anything special about the Libra doll.

The eye of observation is not omnipotent; it cannot see anything beyond the surface data.

But Pokémon are very magical creatures. In addition to the most basic data, they also possess a variety of talents and abilities.

So Anjie wasn't surprised that he didn't see anything special about Libra.

Of course, it's also possible that this Libra doll wasn't anything special to begin with.

This was the first time Angel had ever seen a Pokémon that was only level 1.

Seeing that Libra was still acting crazy, Anjie punched it directly.

"Can't you just be quiet? You've caused such a huge mess, and you still have the nerve to yell here!"

Libra covered his forehead, looking at Anjie with an accusing expression, and finally didn't dare to cause any more trouble.

There was nothing it could do; it was powerless and, to Anjie, a lamb to the slaughter.

"Be a good boy and listen to me, okay? Otherwise I'll throw you away. You're so weak now, you'll only get bullied outside. You won't even have time to cry then, so you should cherish me!" Anjie brainwashed the Libra girl.

Although Libra is short-tempered, she is not stupid. She knows that following Anjie is the best choice now, so she nodded obediently.

After repairing the Libra doll, Anjie stepped out of the tent.

Before long, everyone got up one after another.

When they learned that the clay doll had transformed into a Libra doll, they were just as surprised as Ange.

After everyone had a pleasant breakfast together, it was time for everyone to go their separate ways.

Balza and Mayari are to return to the Valley of Creation with Hoopa and the Jar of Punishment.

Ash and Serena will continue to challenge the gyms and the Triple Crown Satellite Tournament.

Anjie, meanwhile, was preparing to head home.

Balzac and Mayari, along with Hoopa, separated from Angelina and her group in the desert, while Angelina and Ash's group traveled together to Desert City.

After seeing Angie and the others off at the station, Ash said, "Goodbye, Mr. Angie!"

"Goodbye!" Angie nodded. "Come to Azot again sometime, I'll treat you to a meal!"

"I'll definitely go again," Citron said.

Yurika, with tears in her eyes, said, "Dianci, Throwing Monkey, Dual Scabbards, goodbye! Take care!"

The Pokémon nodded and bid farewell to Bonnie.

"Yulijia, take care of yourself too," Tianxi said.

Z1 also poked its head out of Yulijia's bag. It looked at Ange and his group, and then at Z2 on Salamence's back.

"Farewell, my dearest friend!" it said in a voice only Z2 could hear.

"Goodbye, take care!" Z2 said in a voice that only Z1 could hear.

After saying goodbye, Ange, along with Diancie, Throwing Monkey, Double Scabbard, and Libra Doll, boarded the train to Baike City.

Salamence then carried Z2 and soared into the sky.

"Goodbye, human swimmer! Thank you for taking care of me." Z2's voice echoed in Ange's heart.

"Goodbye, Zygarde," Ange silently said in his heart.

The train then headed towards Baike City, while Salamence, carrying Z2, flew alongside the train for a while before disappearing into the sky.

On the train, Ange and Diancie sat side by side, their twin sword sheaths floating above them, while Throwing Monkey and Libra Puppet sat opposite them.

Seeing the Libra doll squirming in its seat, Anjie warned it, "You better behave yourself, or you'll regret it!"

As he spoke, he gestured with his fist, which was as big as a clay pot.

Upon hearing this, Libra immediately became obedient.

It only took Anjie and his group two hours to travel from Desert City to Baike City by train.

As Anjie stepped out of the station, she stretched.

"Finally back in Baike City!"

Seeing that it was almost noon, Ange said to the Pokémon:

"Let's find a place to have lunch!"

"Okay!" Tianxi nodded.

"Yo~"

"Percy~"

The double-sword sheath and the throwing monkey nodded in agreement.

So Anjie took out his phone and pulled up the tourist guide for Baike City. Before long, he selected a restaurant that was very popular in Baike City.

"Let's go."

Following the guide, Anjie and his group quickly arrived at the restaurant.

Anjie booked a private room and enjoyed a quiet and comfortable meal with his Pokémon.

After finishing their meal, they rested in the private room for a while before leaving.

As they came out of the private room, they brushed past someone.

Angie was busy talking to the Pokémon and didn't notice the other person, but the person suddenly stopped and called out to Angie.

"Please wait a moment."

Anjie stopped in her tracks upon hearing this and looked at the other person with a puzzled expression. "Are you talking to me?"

The person was an older woman, tall and slender, with purple hair and a cape, accompanied by two super cats, one male and one female.

"Yes!" The man nodded.

Anjie sized up the person in front of her and quickly recognized her. "Are you Ms. Ge Jihua, the gym leader of Baike Dojo?"

From the corner of her cloak that she had lifted, Anjie seemed to see a vast and deep starry sky.

Ms. Ge Jihua is a superhuman among special ability users. She is said to have the ability to predict the future, hence the title "The One Who Paves the Way with Starlight".

"It's me," Ge Jihua said with a smile.

"Did you call me for something?" Anjie asked, puzzled.

Ge Jihua looked thoughtfully at the Libra doll at An Jie's feet and said, "Your Libra doll is quite extraordinary."

Her eyes, along with the eyes of the two Mega Meowth cats beside her, emitted a faint purple light.

Anjie thought to herself: It seems the rumors are true; Ms. Ge Jihua is indeed a very capable person.

Upon receiving Ge Jihua's praise, Libra proudly puffed out his chest.

Hmph~~ Now you know how powerful I am!

Anjie asked疑惑地问道, "Can you tell what's different about it?"

Ge Jihua shook her head: "I don't know, but I can see that it is brimming with powerful energy."

Upon hearing this, Anjie looked down at Libra.

A powerful force? Where is it? Thinking this, he reached out and tapped the Libra doll on the forehead.

"Duh~~" Libra covered her forehead, looking at Anjie with an angry expression.

After thinking for a moment, Ge Jihua asked An Jie, "May I ask how you are addressed?"

Ange replied, "Ange, Ange Azot!"

Upon hearing this, Gejihua looked surprised. "Azot? You are... that prince of the Kingdom of Azot?"

"Ms. Ge Jihua knows me?" Anjie was taken aback.

Geji Hua smiled and nodded, "I've heard some rumors about His Highness."

Anjie nodded. His awakening from five hundred years ago was quite a novel piece of news, so it was normal for Ms. Ge Jihua to have heard of it.

"Your Highness, would you like to visit the Hundred-Times Dojo?" Ms. Ge Jihua suddenly suggested.

"Huh? Now?" Anjie asked in surprise.

Ms. Ge Jihua nodded. "Yes."

Anjie asked, "But didn't you come here for lunch?"

Ms. Ge Jihua said, "Skipping one lunch won't have much of an impact."

Anjie thought for a moment and said, "How about this, I'm not in a hurry. You have lunch first, and I'll wait for you."

Ge Jihua said, "Wouldn't that take up too much of Your Highness's time?"

"It's alright." Anjie smiled and shook his head, then looked at the Meowth cat at Ms. Gejihua's feet and said, "Besides, even if you don't eat, the Meowth cats will still eat."

"Meow~"

"Meow~"

Upon hearing this, the two super-powered cats glanced shyly at Anjie, then hid behind Ms. Gejihua, peeking out to secretly observe Anjie.

Gejihua glanced at her Super Meow Meow, then smiled and said, "Your Highness is a gentle person."

Geji Hua accepted Anjie's suggestion and first took Super Meow Meow to lunch, and then went to the Hundred-Times Dojo with Anjie.

The design of the Hundred-Card Gym is very unique, and it has a very psychic-type gym atmosphere.

Upon entering, Anjie saw several gym apprentices with their Pokémon striking strange poses; their Pokémon were all rare psychic Pokémon.

For example, there are Jynx, Two Oocytes, Çalhan, and even Ralts.

Ms. Ge Jihua explained, "They were all meditating."

Anjie asked in surprise, "Are they all superhumans?"

Ms. Ge Jihua shook her head. "No."

Superpowered individuals can't possibly be everywhere.

She then explained, "The superpowers of superhumans come from their mental strength, which is something everyone possesses, though some people have stronger mental strength and others weaker."

Strong people become superpowered, but that doesn't mean weak people can't practice meditation.

Meditation can improve a person's concentration and allow them to achieve a state of mental unity with their Pokémon, which is an important form of training for trainers with Psychic-type Pokémon.

Upon hearing this, An Jie suddenly realized and said, "So that's how it is."

Gejihua smiled and said, "Your Highness, would you like to try meditating with us?"

Anjie readily agreed, "Okay!"

"Then Your Highness, please come with me."

Then, led by Ms. Ge Jihua, Anjie arrived at the place where she usually meditated and practiced.

The sky here is filled with floating planet models, and the environment is just like the night sky, which is very beautiful.

"How do I meditate?" Angie asked.

"Your Highness, please follow me," said Lady Gejihua, then smiled and looked at the Libra doll, adding, "The Libra doll will join you too."

"Ya-ji~ Ya-ji~" Libra is now very eager to regain her power, so she nodded very readily.

Ge Jihua sat cross-legged, her eyes closed, and placed her hands on her lap.

Her two Meowth cats did the same thing.

Anjie and Libra occasionally imitated each other.

Of course, Libras don't have legs, so they can only cross their hands.

Seeing this, Throwing Monkey and Diancie also started learning.

Before long, Gekko's voice rang in the ears of Angel and the Pokémon.

"Discard all distractions, concentrate your mind, empty your heart, and imagine yourself traveling in the vast and boundless universe..."

As she spoke, a layer of purple light gradually appeared on Ms. Gejihua's body, and she and the two super-powered cats slowly floated into the air.

Meditation practice is not a simple matter, and at first, Anjie couldn't get into a state of concentration no matter what she tried.

But as time went by, with Ms. Ge Jihua's constant guidance, his mind gradually calmed down, and everything around him disappeared, as if he were the only one there.

The Pokémon gradually entered a meditative state.

Of course, Ange, Throwing Monkey, and Diancie are not superpowered and can only sit on the ground, while Libra Puppet floats in mid-air.

After an unknown amount of time, Anjie opened his eyes. He felt as if his soul had been cleansed, and he felt incredibly relaxed and refreshed.

Lady Gejihua also stopped meditating. She smiled and asked Anjie, "Your Highness, how are you feeling?"

"It's amazing," Anjie said. "Thank you, Ms. Ge Jihua."

"It's nothing," Ms. Ge Jihua said, shaking her head. "To meet in this vast sea of ​​people, we are destined to be together."

Then Diancie and the throwing monkey also emerged from their meditative state, and Ange asked them:

"How are you feeling?"

"Meditation is wonderful," Tianxi replied. "I feel so relaxed now."

All the distracting thoughts in my mind were swept away.

"Pasci~Pasci~" the throwing monkey nodded in response.

Ange was then surprised to find that Diancie had a new Meditation skill in her skill bar.

Meditation: Focuses the mind and calms the spirit, increasing the user's Special Attack and Special Defense.

The throwing monkey is gone; although it can relax its mind through meditation, it cannot learn obvious skills.

Anjie then looked at the Libra doll that was still floating in mid-air in meditation, and sure enough, he found that it had also added a meditation skill to its skill bar.

Meditation is truly a flawed form of spiritual practice; even those without superpowers can reap numerous benefits.
