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

Chapter 233 Disaster is Imminent

More than ten days have passed in the blink of an eye. The royal researchers are working day and night on the energy conversion device, and so far everything is progressing smoothly.

Ji Meiya would call An Jie every few days to chat about the progress of her research, which showed that she was in a good mood.

The day finally arrived for Raquel to go on his journey. After get off work, Angel sent Lucario and the others home first, while she and the Thousand Faces came to the gates of the royal city to see Raquel off.

When he arrived, Raquel, Jimia, Edward, and Flamel were already there.

Knowing that Angel was coming to see him off, Raquel deliberately chose this time to set off.

When Angel arrived, Edward and Jimia were giving Rachel some instructions, and Rachel listened and nodded.

Upon seeing Anjie, he immediately waved excitedly, "Your Highness, you've arrived!"

Edward and Jimmy also greeted Angie.

Ange walked over and, after greeting Jimia and Edward, said to Rachel:

"Rakel, how are you feeling about going on your upcoming trip? Are you scared or anxious?"

Raquel replied confidently, "Not at all. I made thorough preparations before setting off, and I can handle any situation calmly."

Anjie was amused by his overconfident appearance. "Oh? Really?"

"Of course!" Rachel puffed out his chest.

Anjie said, "No matter what, being away from home is different from being at home, so we still need to be extra careful."

Rachel knew that Ange was concerned about her, so she put away her confident expression and nodded obediently, "Okay, I understand."

Angie thought for a moment and then said, "Rakel, if you meet like-minded friends on your journey, you can travel together with them. Having companions will make the journey much easier and more fun."

Imagine if Ash didn't have Clemont, Bonnie, and Serena by his side, his journey would definitely become very lonely and boring.

Both Ji Meiya and Edward agreed with Anjie's words.

Ji Meiya: "Your Highness makes a lot of sense, Rakel. You used to spend all your time in the lab and didn't have many friends. It would be wonderful if you could make a few friends on your journey!"

Rachel blushed and complained to Jimia, "Sister, you don't need to emphasize that I don't have any friends!"

Ji Meiya covered her mouth and said, "Still shy? There are no outsiders here, what's the big deal?"

"Sister!" Rachel's face turned even redder at the words!

Angie and Edward couldn't help but burst into laughter at the sight, and even Flamel covered her mouth and chuckled secretly.

After laughing, Edward couldn't help but worry about Raquel, saying, "If you ask me, it would be better to arrange for Raquel to have two attendants with him, just in case something unexpected happens..."

He was interrupted by Himeya before he could finish speaking.

"Father, Rakel is going out to gain experience, not for sightseeing. Do you see any other children taking entourage on their trips?"

Edward said, "How can that be the same? Rachel is a prince..."

Ji Meiya looked helpless. "If you keep doing this, when will Raquel ever grow up? With Pokémon around, Raquel doesn't need any followers."

"That's right, that's right, Father, please don't make things worse!" Rachel himself also objected to his father assigning him any attendants.

However, when the topic turned to Pokémon, Raquel suddenly said to Angel in a mysterious tone:

"Your Highness, let me show you my new Pokémon."

As he spoke, he pulled out a Poké Ball.

Raquel originally only had one Slimie, but now she has clearly acquired a second Pokémon.

Angel had a vague idea about Raquel's second Pokémon.

With a flash of red light, a brown Pokémon that looked like a dinosaur appeared beside Raquel.

Just as Ange had guessed, Raquel's new Pokémon was indeed Kangaskhan.

Because of the Kangaskhan Mega Stone given by Angel, it was foreseeable that Laquell's second Pokémon would be Kangaskhan.

"Garoo~ Garoo~" As soon as it appeared, Kangaroo greeted everyone in a very friendly manner.

"Garoo~ Garoo~~" At the same time, the little marsupial in its pouch also poked its head out, looking very lively.

Ji Meiya said to Kangaskhan, "Kaskhan, I'm entrusting Rakel to you for the rest of the journey."

This Kangaskhan was carefully selected by the royal family for Raquel. It is very good at taking care of people, which is why Himeya said that Raquel only needs Pokémon to accompany him.

"Garoo~ Garoo~" Kangaroo nodded without hesitation, promising that it would take good care of Rakel.

It has experience in caring for babies.

As they chatted, Flamel suddenly spoke up, "Your Majesty, Your Highness, Prince Ange, and Prince Rakel, it's time to depart!"

Edward then reluctantly said, "Rachel, take care on your journey, and remember to call home often!"

"I understand!" Rakel nodded, then put on his backpack and released Fat Slim from the Poké Ball. Accompanied by the two Pokémon, he walked step by step towards the outside of Azot.

Watching Rachel's retreating figure grow smaller and smaller, Edward wiped his eyes sentimentally, "Rachel has finally grown up..."

Flamel: ...

Ji Meiya: ...

Anjie: ...

After seeing off Rachel, Edward and Jimia returned to the royal city under the protection of a group of guards, but Ange was in no hurry to go back with them.

Since he was already outside the city, he decided to stop by and visit Grandma Hadali.

Meanwhile, atop a high peak in the northwestern mountains of the Nibel Plateau, a Pokémon with snow-white fur gazed into the distance in the direction of the Nibel Plateau.

A gentle breeze caused the Pokémon's snow-white fur to flutter softly, making it appear like a mountain spirit.

This is an Absolu, which can keenly perceive subtle changes in the sky and the earth, thereby enabling it to predict disasters.

Throughout history, Absol has been known as a "disaster beast," meaning a Pokémon that brings misfortune.

It wasn't until recent years, with the deepening research on Pokémon by numerous Pokémon scholars, that people gained a better understanding of Pokémon, thus clearing Absol of the infamy it had been burdened with.

It turns out that Absol is not a "disaster monster" at all, but a very kind-hearted Pokémon. When they sense that danger is coming, they will always appear to warn people, which is why people mistakenly believe that the disaster is caused by them.

After staring at the direction of the Nibel Plateau for a while, Absol on the mountain peak leaped off the mountain and transformed into a streak of light, speeding towards the Nibel Plateau.

Today, the two Fragrant Pigs, Azure Flame Blade Demon, and Crimson Lotus Armored Knight went out early this morning.

They didn't go too far. It was summer, and there was plenty of food in the mountains, so they returned with a full load in just half a day.

"Cough cough~ cough cough~"

"Cough cough~ cough cough~"

The two fragrant dolphins hummed cheerful tunes and whispered sweet nothings as they walked toward home.

Azure Flame Blade Demon and Crimson Lotus Armor Knight followed behind the young couple, chatting and laughing as well.

However, at that moment, a white figure suddenly descended from the sky, landing in front of them and blocking their path.

If it's not Absolu, then who else could it be?

"Ab-Bo~ Ab-Bo~~"

Absol shouted at the four Pokémon with a serious expression, telling them to stop and not go any further.

The four Pokémon were completely confused by Absol's words.

We want to go home, and you're telling us to stop? How are we supposed to get home then?

"Hmph hmph~ Hmph hmph~" The male fragrant dolphin stepped forward to argue, telling Absol to quickly move aside so as not to delay them from going home.

"Ab-Bo~ Ab-Bo~~"

However, Absol refused to budge. It told the four Pokémon that a great disaster was about to occur ahead and urged them to stay away and not approach.

The four Pokémon could only laugh at Absol's words; was there going to be a disaster on the Nibel Plateau?

What are you talking about! Do you know what kind of place that is? That's where the god of life and the god of destruction live. How could there possibly be a disaster there?

For a moment, all four Pokémon felt that Absol was being unreasonable.

Then, Azure Flame Blade Demon leaped forward.

"Bra~ Bra~" Get out of the way, or I'll make things difficult for you on your way home!

"Absol~~" However, Absol remained standing motionless, staring intently at the Azure Flame Blade Demon, as if it would not give up until the four of them left.

Absol's attitude made the Azure Flame Blade Demons feel even more that he was being unreasonable.

Azure Flame Blade Demon assumed a fighting stance and said sternly, "Bra~ Bra~" Since you won't move aside, don't blame me for being impolite!

"Absol~" Absol shook his head, standing firmly in front.

Azure Flame Blade Demon: Alright, let's settle this with our skills!

The Azure Flame Blade Demon swung the longswords in its hands, and two purple flame blades shot out, heading straight for Absol.

This is the exclusive skill of Azure Flame Blade Demon: Regret Sword.

Absol's intention was merely to dissuade the Azure Flame Blade Demons and their group, and it did not wish to engage in battle with them. Therefore, the moment the Azure Flame Blade Demons attacked, it leaped away and disappeared from its spot, merely dodging without launching a counterattack.

Seeing that his attack had missed, the Azure Flame Blade Demon swung his arms again and unleashed the Regret Sword once more.

Absol continued to hide.

And so it went, with the Azure Flame Blade Demon attacking and Absol dodging, the surrounding rocks and trees were cleaved into pieces by the Azure Flame Blade Demon's attacks.

However, simply avoiding the problem will not solve it and will easily put Absol in a passive position.

Finally, Azure Flame Blade Demon seized an opening in Absol's defenses and launched the Regret Sword, which Absol, unable to dodge in time, was cleaved to the ground.

Absol tried to get up, but Azure Flame Blade Demon struck again with its Regret Sword, and Absol finally collapsed to the ground.

"Bra~ Bra~" Looking at Absol lying on the ground, Azure Flame Blade Demon thought for a moment, then turned around and called out twice to Crimson Lotus Knight.

Upon hearing the sound, the Crimson Knight stepped forward and took out several tree fruits that could restore stamina from his backpack, placing them in front of Absol.

Having done all that, the four Pokémon strode away.

Not long after Azure Flame Blade Demon and the others left, Absol slowly woke up. It stared at the fruit in front of it for a moment, then opened its mouth and swallowed the fruit.

Once it had regained some strength, it looked in the direction where the Azure Flame Blade Demon and the others had left, hesitated for a moment, and finally took off on all fours, quickly chasing after them.

The four members of Azure Blade Demon didn't take the encounter with Absol along the way to heart. After returning home, they went to Ange's house and gave the food they had gathered that day to Munchlax.

Just then, Anjie returned. Seeing the Azure Flame Blade Demon and the others' bountiful harvest, he smiled and said:

"You've had a very fruitful day! Would you like to stay for lunch?"

The Azure Flame Blade Demons couldn't have been happier, so they readily agreed.

So Anjie used the wild vegetables that the Azure Flame Blade Demons had picked that day to make several cold dishes.

When everyone sat together for lunch, Azure Flame Blade Demon and the others inadvertently mentioned their encounter with Absol.

Anjie looked surprised upon hearing this. "You encountered Absol?"

"Cough cough~"

"Cough cough~"

The two fragrant dolphins nodded simultaneously, recounting what had happened to Anjie, one after the other. After they finished, they asked, "Is there a problem?"

After hearing this, Anjie fell into deep thought. Could something really be going to happen on the Nibel Plateau? Generally speaking, Absol wouldn't lie.

Just as Ange and the others were having lunch, Absol finally followed in the footsteps of Azure Flame Blade Demon and the others to the Nibel Plateau.

Upon seeing the mountain goats, lambs, and milk cans leisurely grazing, sleeping, and strolling on the grass in the distance, Absol quickly ran over.

"Abo~ Abo~~" Disaster is about to strike, you all better run for your lives!

It yelled at the riding goat, the riding lamb, and the big milk pots.

Mount Goat, Mount Lamb, and Miltank all gathered around upon hearing this, looking at the strange Pokémon that had suddenly appeared with puzzled expressions.

"Baa~ Baa~" Who are you? Where did you come from?

"The leader of the goat mounts asked."

"Ab~ Ab~" Never mind all that, disaster is about to strike, you all need to escape quickly and tell the other Pokémon here to leave too!

Absol's tone revealed his anxiety.

"Meow~ Meow~" Disaster? What disaster?

"Huh~" How could there be a disaster?

……

The goats on their mounts were discussing amongst themselves.

Absol grew increasingly anxious as he watched his goats remain unmoved by his words.

It sensed the intense changes in the atmosphere and knew that a natural disaster was about to occur, but it couldn't tell you what kind of disaster it was.

Seeing that Absol kept urging everyone to leave the Nibel Plateau, but couldn't explain why, the riding goat, the riding lamb, and the big milk pot naturally assumed that it was there to cause trouble, and their gazes toward it gradually became unfriendly.

"Meow~ Meow~"

All that could be heard was the goat mount raising its head and bellowing. The next second, the Arrowhawk suddenly descended from the sky and landed directly in front of Absol.

It exuded an imposing aura, its sharp eyes fixed on Absol as it said:

"Ya Luo~" You're the one causing trouble?
