Chapter 246 The Dessert Shop Opens!!!

The arrival of Alcremie and Sweetie made Angie's house very lively.

The two Pokémon were quickly amazed by the taste of Angel's family's food.

Unfortunately, Munchlax and the others didn't know that Alcremie and Slug were coming, so they didn't prepare enough food.

So Anjie had no choice but to prepare to take his apprentices to the kitchen to cook more.

However, at this moment, Magiana took out a large number of desserts that she usually stored in her system backpack and distributed them to Fat Sweetie and the Alcremie fairies one by one.

After eating Maya's dessert, Fat Sweetie and the Alcremie Fairies said that Angie didn't need to make any more food because they preferred desserts to other foods.

Because she spends most of her time practicing making desserts, Maya's system inventory is full of desserts, enough for Fat Sweetie and the Alcremie to eat their fill.

Seeing this, Anjie gave up her plans to continue.

Although it's strange to have desserts as the main course, Angie would accept it as a matter of course if it were Alcremie or Fat Sweetie.

Although he didn't cook, he did make a cup of honey grapefruit tea for Fat Sweetie and the Frost Milk Fairies.

Both Slimie and Alcremie are Fairy-type Pokémon, so they immediately fell in love with Honey Yuzu Tea, which has a special effect on Fairy-type Pokémon.

After lunch, Maya offered to take Fat Sweetie and the Alcremie fairies to visit the Nibel Plateau. After seeing them off, Ange sat on a deck chair by the door, lost in thought.

Just then, Absol appeared beside him.

"Abo~" Angie...

Absol called out to Ange softly.

Ange turned to Absol, "What's wrong, Absol?"

After a period of recuperation, Absol's injuries have healed, and he now looks to be in very good spirits.

Not only that, it had plenty of good food and drink at Anjie's house and didn't have to worry about anything, so its size was noticeably larger than when it first arrived.

This makes it look less elegant and more endearing.

"Ab-bo~ Ab-bo~" I'm leaving, so I came to say goodbye.

Absol said to Ange.

Ange was taken aback. He had gotten used to Absol's presence during the time he spent with Absol, and he didn't expect that Absol would leave so soon after Kyogre left.

Anjie: "Wouldn't it be better to stay and live with us?"

He didn't feel much when Geokawa left, but he felt reluctant when Absol left.

Absol remained silent for a while upon hearing this. It was somewhat tempted, but after much deliberation, it finally shook its head.

The comfortable life on the Nibel Plateau is not what it seeks; it would erode its will.

Seeing this, Anjie said no more. Every person or every Pokémon has its own pursuits, and whether it is meeting or parting, it is all part of life.

He didn't try to stop Loko from leaving, and he won't force Absol to leave now.

"Are we leaving now?" Anjie asked.

"Absol~" Absol nodded.

"Then wait a moment!" Anjie said, getting up and going into the house.

When he came out again, he was carrying a shoulder bag.

This is a space backpack, and Anjie has packed some food and medicine inside.

He took out the contents and explained their functions to Absol one by one.

Most of the food prepared by Anjie consists of energy cubes.

Energy Cubes are indispensable items for trainers on their journeys, mainly because they are small, easy to carry, and have a long shelf life.

This is an advantage that other types of Pokémon food do not have, since not all trainers are capable of making their own Pokémon food.

As Absol listened to Ange's incessant and detailed instructions, a warm feeling welled up inside him.

After putting everything back into the backpack, Ange hung it around Absol's neck.

Take good care of yourself while you're away; the Nibel Plateau welcomes you back anytime.

Absol nodded, then, with tears in his eyes, rubbed his head against Ange's neck.

Taking the opportunity, Ange hugged Absol's neck and said, "Have a safe journey."

Absol nodded.

After the two Pokémon separated, Absol leaped down the steps at the door and ran off into the distance.

Almost immediately, it disappeared from Anjie's sight.

"Sigh~~~" Anjie sighed deeply, turning her gaze away from the distance, her mood becoming somewhat depressed.

After sighing for a while, Anjie suddenly remembered that he seemed to have heard a system notification before he went to the palace to pick up Frost Milk Fairy and the others.

With that in mind, he opened the system.

Sure enough, as soon as the system was turned on, he saw a notification pop up in the taskbar.

"Congratulations, Master, on completing [Temporary Mission 1]: Help Magiana improve her dessert making skills and reach the level of a pastry chef. - Completed. Rewards await collection."

Upon seeing this notification, Anjie immediately sat up straight.

Once this task is completed, it means that Maya's dessert shop can open for business!

Since receiving the mission to help Magearna open a dessert shop, Angie has been preparing. The second floor of Munchlax's house has been renovated long ago, and they are just waiting for Magearna's skills to improve. Everything is ready except for the final touch.

Has the east wind finally arrived?

The completion of this task slightly improved Anjie's previously bad mood.

With anticipation, he received the mission reward.

"Congratulations, Master, on completing the [Temporary Task 1]: Help Magiana improve her dessert making skills and reach the level of a pastry chef."

Rewards: Individual Value +2, 1 Tai Crystal Bead

Another Taijing Bead? Anjie looked at the reward he had just received in surprise.

He had previously obtained a Crystal Bead, which played a crucial role in helping Yveltal fight against Kyurem.

However, the Crystal Bead has a drawback: it needs to be recharged after each use before it can be used again, and the recharge points are only available in the Padiya region.

To be able to recharge indefinitely, Angela would need the source of the crystallization, the legendary Pokémon—Talibagos.

After using the Crystal Bead last time, Anjie sent it to Pipa, who then recharged it and sent it back to him.

Anjie took out the newly acquired Taijing Bead and then took out the original one, playing with them in her hands.

The newly obtained Tai Crystal Orb is fully charged and does not require Anjie to recharge it, so both Tai Crystal Orbs in Anjie's possession can be used now.

Taijinghua is quite useful; it can play a crucial role in turning the tide in critical moments.

Given its need for charging, the more Crystal Beads the better, so Anjie was quite satisfied with the reward.

It would be great if the system could enable the charging function of the Crystal Beads in the future, like charging them with Happiness Points or something...

Forget it, let's stop fantasizing!

After putting away the Crystal Bead, Anjie began to process the 2 individual values ​​she had just obtained.

Since the individual values ​​of the Thousand Faces are already full, these 2 individual values ​​should now be given to other companions.

Who should it be given to?

Anjie opened his partners' data and scanned it over one by one.

The candidate list includes: Gengar, Babubo, Thrashing Monkey, Metagross, and Diablex.

Diancie, Snorlax, Inteleon, and Komaru all have maxed-out IVs.

Magearna, Volcanion, Latios, Latias, and Libra all have maxed-out Individual Values ​​(IVs) from the start.

After much thought, Ange decided to give those 2 points to Metagross.

One reason is that Metagross's IVs are closest to being maxed out.

On the other hand, Metagross is the strongest among the crew, aside from Latias, Latios, Volcanion, and Komaru.

After adding Individual Values ​​(IVs) to Metagross, Metagross's stats are as follows:

Giant Golden Monster

[Attribute] Steel, Psychic

【Characteristics】Eternal purity

[Gender] None

[Level] 86

[Skills] (omitted)

Individual Value

Blood volume: 31

Attack: 31

Physical defense: 31

Special Attack: 30

Special Defense: 31

Speed: 31

Almost there, Metagross's IVs will be maxed out.

Metagross originally had an IV of 30 in Defense and an IV of 29 in Special Attack.

After shutting down the system, Ange saw Latias and Latios fly over his head, so he waved to them.

"Waaah~"

"Awoo~"

The brother and sister happily fell from the sky and hovered in front of Anjie.

"Ugh~" Anjie, what's wrong?

Latias asked with a smile.

Anjie replied, "I have a gift for you!"

"Aww~" A gift?

The brother and sister looked at Anjie with suspicion.

"Look what this is?" Ange said, taking out two items and handing them to Latias and Latios respectively.

Latias's eyes lit up when he saw it.

"It's a cell phone!"

All the family members have cell phones, even Libra Doll. Latias and Latios have long coveted this magical gadget.

This tiny thing not only has powerful entertainment functions, but also allows people to know what's happening in the world without leaving home. It's simply amazing.

"Ugh~~" Are you really going to give it to us?

Latias asked, both expectant and incredulous.

"Wow~" This is too precious, is it alright if we accept it?

Latios hesitated.

The brother and sister thought that such magical things must be very valuable, and that they had only just joined their home.

Anjie laughed and said, "It's not valuable at all. All my family members have one, so of course you should have one too. Don't be shy, just accept it!"

"Woo~ woo~" Hearing this, the brother and sister each took the phone, and Latias even held the phone and happily spun around in the air.

The brother and sister then gathered around Anjie, one on each side, and Anjie taught them how to use the mobile phone.

As Psychic-type Pokémon, the brother and sister are naturally incredibly intelligent. They learn almost instantly and soon became very enthusiastic about playing with the phone, thoroughly enjoying themselves.

The afternoon flew by as the brother and sister played.

As the sun set, Magearna returned with Slimy and Alcremie, along with Xerneas.

A group of Fairy-type Pokémon surrounded Xerneas, looking quite happy.

Xerneas's fairy aura will unconsciously attract Fairy-type Pokémon to its side.

Upon seeing Maya return, Ange told her that the dessert shop could reopen.

"Duki~" Really?

Maya was extremely excited.

"Of course it's true!" Anjie nodded in reply.

"Du~ki~du~" That's great! That's great!

Maya hugged Ange tightly with joy.

Anjie patted the back of its head and said, "Get ready, we're opening tomorrow morning!"

"duki~" Yeah!

Maya released Ange and nodded vigorously.

Just as Anjie and Maya were discussing matters related to opening a shop, two Guyue birds flew in from a distance, each carrying a large fish in its beak.

These two Crested Moonbirds have now completely settled down on the Nibel Plateau, and are dedicated to helping Ange catch fish from the lake every day.

Two fish were tossed onto the stone slab by the door, and two Crested Tern landed on the edge of the flowerbed, waiting for dinner time.

Anjie looked at the two lively fish, got up, walked over, picked them up, and then turned to Magiyana and said:

"It's getting late, it's time to make dinner. We'll talk about the rest later tonight."

"duki~"Hmm~

Maya nodded and followed Ange into the house.

Ange is going to make dinner for the other Pokémon, and Magearna is going to make dinner for the Alcremie and Slimie.

Before long, the other Pokémon gradually gathered in the square. Through Xerneas's introduction, they met Slippy and Alcremie, and they chatted warmly.

Before long, a rich aroma wafted out of the house, and everyone chatted while gazing longingly into the room.

The afterglow of the setting sun shone on everyone, giving them a soft glow.

The Nibel Plateau is peaceful and serene.

The next morning, when Anjie got up and went downstairs, she passed by the second floor and heard some noise coming from inside.

He went inside and saw that Magiana was already busy in the kitchen.

Today is the opening day of the dessert shop, so it got up early and started preparing.

Not only is it there, but also Fat Sweetie, Alcremie, Gothic Baby, Giraffe, and Wobbuffet are all there, and they are all full of energy.

With the help of Alcremie and Sweetie, Magiana was extremely efficient. The table in the center of the kitchen was already filled with all kinds of desserts, which looked delicious at first glance.

Gothic Baby, Kirin, and Woven, as waiters at the dessert shop, had already changed into their corresponding uniforms.

The Gothic baby is wearing a specially made maid outfit.

Sure enough, the old man was wearing a small apron.

Qilin Qi wore a headscarf and a small bib on his chest.

These clothes were given to the three Pokémon by Ange last night.

The three of them, along with some of the Creamy Fairies, were helping to pack the desserts.

Upon seeing Angel, the Pokémon waved and greeted him.

Anjie didn't go inside, but said to the other animals from a distance, "Get ready, we're leaving soon."

"Slurp~"

"Ge Qi~"

"Strange~"

As expected, Weng, Gothic Baby, and Qilinqi nodded in response to Anjie.

Magia doesn't need to go to the dessert shop; she's just a pastry chef. All she has to do is deliver the finished desserts to the restaurant and hand them over to the Wobbuffet to sell.

Once Ange had everything ready, he set off with Thousand Faces, Twin Scabbards, Libra, Kirlia, two Psychic Meowths, Wobbuffet, Gothicbatter, and Girafarig.

Two clay figurines accompanied them; they were specifically there to help everyone carry things.

The dessert shop sells not only Maya's desserts, but also wines and juices made by throwing monkeys.

When the store runs out of desserts, wines, and juices, two clay figurines will be responsible for traveling between Munchlax's house and Nibel Plateau to restock.

Unlike breakfast shops and noodle shops that have limited hours, dessert shops are open all day, so it's no wonder they have to work harder.

Upon arriving at the second floor of Munchlax's house, Wobbuffet and the others immediately got to work as they had been trained to do.
