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

Chapter 242 Two Dragons Join the Fellowship

The brother and sister looked at Ange with doubt, and at Yveltal with wariness.

Seeing this, Ange stepped forward and said, "Latias, Latios, you've just recovered from your petrified state and must be very confused right now. Let me tell you how we found you!"

Latias and Latios exchanged a glance, then nodded to Angel with slight hesitation.

They were petrified by Yveltal, and since Angel appeared with Yveltal, they naturally assumed that Angel was in cahoots with Yveltal.

As the god of destruction, Yveltal was naturally "evil" in the eyes of the brother and sister.

So Anjie told them in detail how she found this place and how she helped the brother and sister break free from petrification.

Latias and Latios were utterly shocked to learn that countless years had passed since they were petrified.

What surprised them even more was that this human could command both the God of Destruction and the God of Life at the same time!

While the brother and sister were still in shock and hadn't recovered, Anjie said to them, "Do you want to go out and take a look?"

Latias and Latios nodded; they were now eager to know what the outside world had become.

Anjie smiled and said, "Alright, come with me."

He then led Latios, Latias and his sister, and a group of Pokémon away from the underground laboratory.

Metagross was the only one not with the others; it was busy setting up its own laboratory and had no interest in accompanying Latias and Latios to "explore the world."

Once outside, the brother and sister looked down at the Nibel Plateau from the air, staring in amazement at the lush grasslands, the clear blue sky, and the Pokémon living on the plateau.

Only now do they truly feel the passage of time.

It turns out that what that person said was true; the village they helped back then has long since disappeared into the river of time.

Although the Nibel Plateau has changed dramatically since then, the brother and sister could still recognize Lake Nibel at a glance as the same large lake that once stood in front of their village.

They were even knocked into the lake during their battle with Yveltal.

At that time, the lake was not called Lake Nibel.

They slowly descended from the sky and flew right up to Anjie's side. Both siblings looked somewhat lost and dejected.

As time goes by, what will become of the brother and sister?

"What's wrong with you?" Anjie asked, seeing their worried expressions.

"Awoo~ Awoo~" Latias and Latios told Angel about their confusion.

Since learning that it was Anjie who helped them break free from their petrified state, the brother and sister no longer harbored any wariness towards him, but were instead filled with gratitude.

Anjie patted the siblings on the head and said, "If you don't mind, you can stay on the Nibel Plateau and live with us."

"Awoo~" Is that okay?

The brother and sister looked at Ange, and then at the group of Pokémon following behind Ange.

"Yes, of course! It's so much fun when everyone's together!"

Snorlax was the first to welcome the brother and sister.

"Babu~"

"Indeed~"

"Geng~~"

……

Upon hearing this, the other Pokémon also enthusiastically extended invitations to Latias and Latios.

"Awoo~"

"Awoo~"

The brother and sister looked at everyone with deep emotion. When they didn't know where to go, having a safe place to live was a great comfort to them. It gave them a sense of security and made them feel less lost.

"Speaking of which, I'm actually in a bit of a predicament with Latias and Latios!" Angel suddenly said with a smile.

Tianxi instantly understood what Anjie meant and said with a smile, "Now that you mention it, it's true."

The brother and sister looked at Anja and Tianxi with confusion.

"Babu~ Babu~" Babu jumped out excitedly and told Latias and Latios about the experience of Angel and Diancie who had been asleep for five hundred years.

After hearing this, the brother and sister looked at Anjie and Tianxi with even more affection.

Their similar experiences led them to feel a sense of kinship with Anjie.

Then Anjie said to the brother and sister, "Let me show you around here!"

"Awoo~" The brother and sister nodded happily. This place is different from what it used to be, and they naturally want to get to know their surroundings.

So Angel sent the other Pokémon home first, while he led the brother and sister on a tour of the Nibel Plateau.

Anjie first took them on a tour of the grassland.

When they saw the mountain goats, lambs, and milk cans playing leisurely on the grass not far away, Angie introduced them to the brother and sister:

"They are also members of our Nibel Plateau family. The milk we drink and the dairy products we eat are all provided by them."

Latias and Latios nodded.

Anjie then introduced his business in the royal city to the brother and sister.

The goats that were riding her saw Anjie at this moment, so they all surrounded her and interacted with her affectionately.

Ange took the opportunity to introduce them to Latias and Latios.

The goat, the lamb, and the milk can all warmly welcomed the brother and sister.

Sensing everyone's warmth and kindness, the brother and sister felt more at ease.

Then Anjai took the brother and sister to visit the Three Bees' hive, orchard, and fish farm... He would introduce the brother and sister to everyone they encountered along the way.

Gradually, everyone learned that new members had joined the Nibel Plateau.

All the Pokémon welcomed the brother and sister.

While feeling everyone's kindness, the brother and sister also gained a general understanding of the situation on the Nibel Plateau.

After the tour, Ange said to Latias and Latios, "Let's go home!"

The brother and sister nodded, feeling a little more hopeful about the "home" that Anjie had mentioned.

When they got home, Ange, Latias, and Latios saw Diancie, Magiana, Libra, and Babuto sitting at the door picking vegetables.

Looking at the overflowing display at the entrance, Ange smiled and said, "To celebrate Latios and Latios joining our family, we're having a big meal today!"

As he spoke, he rolled up his sleeves and walked into the house, ready to get down to business.

Upon hearing this, Babu Tubo was naturally the happiest.

Libras also have some expectations, but they won't show it.

After Angie entered the house, Tianxi smiled and said to the brother and sister, "Thanks to you, we're in for a treat today!"

Although Latias and Latios already knew that Angel was a chef, they didn't know how delicious Angel's cooking was, so they looked slightly puzzled after hearing Diancie's words.

"Babu~ Babu~" At this moment, Babu Tubo exaggeratedly described Anjie's abilities to the brother and sister, making them exclaim in amazement.

At this moment, the brother and sister finally realized that it was thanks to Ange's superb cooking skills that Xernias was able to share his life with them by creating the magical World Tree Tofu.

The brother and sister couldn't imagine the delicious food that Babu Tubo was craving, but they couldn't help but start looking forward to lunch.

After Babu finished boasting, Tianxi asked the siblings, "Would you like to come inside and have a look around?"

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, the brother and sister will be living here from now on.

"Awoo~" The brother and sister nodded.

Diancie was about to get up and bring them inside when Vaporeon, Jolteon, and Flareon suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

"Pfft~ Pfft~" We'll lead the way! We'll lead the way!

"Tempus shouted excitedly!"

Tianxi smiled and said, "Alright, then this task is entrusted to you!"

"Shavo~"

"Pfft~"

"Sander~"

The two Eevee nodded repeatedly, then hopped and skipped, leading Latias and Latios into the house.

After the brother and sister entered the house, they immediately looked around at everything with curiosity.

They lived in a time far removed from the present, a backward era, so the things the brother and sister knew were very different from what we know today.

Although Anjie wasn't sure what era the siblings lived in, based on his conversation with them, he was certain that it was more than five hundred years ago.

It's even possible that the Kingdom of Azot hadn't been established yet at that time.

The brother and sister had never seen so many exquisite things before, and they were almost dazzled by the sight.

"Ugh~~" What is this?

Latias flew to the clock on the wall, his big eyes shining as he gazed at the ticking second hand.

"Sawoo~ Sawoo~" That's a bell, used to tell time!

The Water Eevee walked down and introduced it, explaining how the clock works.

Of course, it only knows the general idea, so it cannot go into detail.

Even so, Latias and Latios were still full of amazement.

"Wow~~" Wow, that's amazing!

Latias exclaimed in surprise, "So time can be calculated in this way! Back then, they could only roughly estimate it by observing the sun."

"Pfft~~ Pfft~~" What's so great about that? There's something even more amazing! Come with me!

Upon hearing this, Flareon called out to Latias and Latios.

As soon as it finished speaking, Robert 2 came walking towards it.

The Flareon ran over to Robert 2, pointed at it with its paw, and asked the siblings, "Do you know what this is?"

What is "Awoo~"?

The brother and sister huddled together next to Robert No. 2, their bright eyes filled with a thirst for knowledge.

Just then, Robert 2 spoke.

"Hello, Latias, Latios, I am Robert No. 2!"

Latias exclaimed, "It spoke! It spoke!"

Latios' curiosity intensified, and it asked the three Eevee Pokémon, "Are these Pokémon we don't recognize?"

"Hmph~~ You guys don't know this!" Flareon proudly strode up to Robert 2. "Robert 2 isn't a Pokémon, it's a robot equipped with artificial intelligence. Do you know what artificial intelligence is?"

"I don't know!" Latias and Latios shook their heads in unison.

Flareon became even more smug upon hearing this, "Artificial intelligence, ah, it is..."

So it started talking non-stop, leaving the brother and sister completely bewildered.

At this moment, Vaporeon raised its paw and smacked Flareon on the back of the head, then smiled and said to the siblings:

"Don't listen to its boasting; it has no idea what artificial intelligence is!"

Flareon wanted to retort, but Vaporeon gave it a sharp glare, and it immediately shrank back and remained silent.

It really only has a superficial understanding of artificial intelligence; it was just showing off.

Seeing Flareon's cowardly appearance, Jolteon couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Flareon was furious and was about to pounce on Jolteon to teach it a lesson when Vaporeon glared at it again.

(ó﹏ò) Flareon has behaved itself once again.

Latias and Latios laughed along with Reeves upon seeing this.

In the kitchen, Anjie was busy with his three apprentices, as well as Twin Scabbards, Lucario, and Riolu. Hearing the cheerful laughter coming from outside, a smile involuntarily appeared on his face.

After showing Latias and Latios around the first floor, the three Eevee creatures went to the second floor.

The second floor of Anjie's house is relatively simply furnished. It has almost become Maya's exclusive place, with utensils and ingredients she uses to make desserts scattered everywhere.

The three Eevee dogs introduced the brother and sister to many home appliances and kitchenwares here.

Through the three Eevee dogs' introduction, the brother and sister learned about the convenience of home appliances, which broadened their horizons.

"The power of science is truly amazing!" Latios couldn't help but exclaim.

Upon reaching the third floor, Latias and Latios were amazed by even more modern products.

As time went by, Anjie and the others finally finished preparing lunch, and a rich aroma filled the air.

Just then, Diancie's shouts came from downstairs.

"Vaporeon, Jolteon, Flareon, quickly bring Latias and Latios down for dinner!"

"Pfft!" Upon hearing this, Flareon's eyes lit up.

The reason it was so enthusiastic in offering to lead Latias and Latios was that it wanted to take the opportunity to freeload a meal at Angel's place.

Upon hearing Diancie's words, Flareon immediately ran downstairs.

"Time to eat!"

Suicune turned to the siblings and said, "Let's go down quickly too!"

The aroma in the air almost made its mouth water.

The brother and sister nodded and quickly followed Vaporeon and Jolteon downstairs.

When they came downstairs, they saw that the two tables in the living room were already fully covered with all kinds of delicious food.

Sichuan-style chicken, twice-cooked pork, boiled fish, steamed spare ribs, spicy shrimp, Dongpo pork, braised fish, stir-fried eggplant, potatoes, and green peppers, stir-fried aromatic mushrooms, Mapo tofu, dry-fried green beans, stir-fried lotus root slices...

The three Eevee sprang up on the edge of the table, looking absolutely dazzled!

After Angel brought the last dish to the table, seeing that Latios and Latias had come down, she smiled and greeted them:

"Please take a seat!"

As he finished speaking, the Pokémon took their seats. The three Eevee Pokémon didn't need to be served at all; they found a spot and jumped onto the chairs on their own.

Seeing that Latias and Latios looked bewildered and didn't know what to do, Diancie took the initiative to go up and greet them.
