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

Chapter 256 The Leisurely Ghost Dragon

Seeing the Water-type Pokémon looking at him with fear on their faces, Giratina quickly flew into the sky and headed towards the location where the tentacle monster had appeared.

Just as Giratina was assessing the situation, Darkrai, Volcanion, Yveltal, and Xerneas arrived beside it.

Since the incident with Kirlia, everyone has been on high alert on the plateau, so as soon as Giratina appeared, Yveltal and the others were notified.

When Volcanion, Yveltal, and Xerneas saw that the terrifying Pokémon everyone was talking about was Giratina, their faces showed surprise.

They had all experienced the battle in the Desert City, so they naturally knew Giratina.

"Giratina, what are you doing here?" Xerneas asked calmly, though his eyes betrayed a hint of wariness.

As for Polcanion and Yveltal, they made their hostility obvious, after all, they were rivals when they first met.

Darkrai was completely bewildered. It seemed like everyone knew each other! Was it the only outsider Pokémon?

Giratina was also full of questions at this moment.

What are you all doing here?

Giratina racked its brains. These were all the Pokémon of that human named Ange, and they should be in that person's house.

Since they're here, does that mean this is Anjie's home?

So Giratina asked directly what was on his mind.

"Is this Anjie's home?"

The Pokémon were stunned. How did Giratina know Angelina's name?

Although they had crossed paths in Desert City, they had never spoken.

"How did you know?" Pulcanion asked, his eyes wide.

Giratina then recounted his encounter with Ange outside the city and explained why he was there.

It doesn't want to clash with the other Pokémon, so the misunderstanding should be cleared up as soon as possible.

Xerneas and the others learned that it was all a misunderstanding and that Giratina was the Pokémon that saved Umbreon, so they all put aside their hostility.

At this moment, Diancie arrived and breathed a sigh of relief after learning what had happened.

Just now, a mosquito coil tadpole rushed off to find it, thinking that another tentacle monster had appeared!

Giratina inspected the area where the tentacles had appeared, then addressed the other Pokémon:

"The appearance of those tentacles is definitely not just due to the ecological disorder in the Carlos region; there are other forces involved as well."

"Other powers?" Diancie frowned. "What power is so powerful?"

Giratina shook his head. "I don't know. That's a power I've never seen before."

A power that even Giratina was unaware of...

Upon hearing this, the Pokémon couldn't help but feel a sense of worry.

No matter what, they must help Anjie protect this home, protect their habitat, their home!

After inspecting the scene of the incident, Giratina planned to return to the Reverse World.

However, at that moment, Diancie called out to it, "Giratina, would you like to come to our house for a while?"

Diancie invited Giratina to her home for two reasons: firstly, she wanted to cultivate a good relationship between Ange and this ancient deity; secondly, she knew that entertaining a deity would earn Ange a reward.

I wonder if the system will include this hospitality if Anjie isn't home.

Considering that his "Daily Task 2: Invite 10 Pokémon" would still be considered complete even when Ange wasn't home, Diancie felt that the chances of this invitation counting were extremely high.

Diancie's invitation made Giratina pause. It looked at Diancie in surprise, hesitated for a moment, and then nodded gently.

It just so happens that it is very curious about Ange, the human who can command Xerneas and Yveltal.

Especially Yveltal, although they had never crossed paths before the Battle of Desert City, its name and deeds were well-known.

It is not something that ordinary humans can command.

Surrounded by a host of Pokémon, Giratina officially arrived at Ange's home as a guest.

Because Giratina was too big to go home easily, everyone led it to the bar on the first floor of the Secret Fortress.

The ground floor and bar are now very different from what they used to be. They opened for business at the same time as the dessert shop in Mayaana.

The bar offers the same services as the dessert shop, catering to all Pokémon on the plateau.

However, unlike dining for free at the Tianxi Grand Dining Hall, you have to pay to eat at the bar!

The Pokémon can't just sit back and spend the wages they're paid by Angelina.

Although daily necessities stores and convenience stores are places where you can spend money, that's far from enough.

After the bar opened, it sold delicious desserts and refreshing juices, which immediately made it one of the most popular places on the Nibel Plateau.

People like to come here to sit when they have free time, order a glass of juice or wine, and a dessert. They enjoy it slowly and chat about interesting things happening around them. It's so relaxing!

As soon as Giratina flew to the bar entrance, it heard bursts of laughter and excited cheers coming from inside.

It turned to Diancie, Xerneas, and the other Pokémon and said, "It's quite lively here!"

It is the exact opposite of its reversed world.

The reversed world is nothing but emptiness and boundless desolation.

As Giratina spoke, he peeked into the bar and saw that at the bar, the Night Demon was stylishly swinging a cocktail shaker in its hand, with several other cocktail shakers floating in the air that it controlled with its mental power.

His nimble and elegant demeanor captivated the Pokémon below.

Curly Ears and Patchlitz hugged each other, jumping and hopping, screaming in surprise at Night Demon's cool moves.

The mischievous panda and the digger rabbit held hands, gazing at the Night Demon with eyes full of stars, their eyes revealing admiration.

The screams and cheers in the bar came from them.

"Wow! Wow!" I want to learn this! I want to learn this!

"Blue Crocodile said excitedly."

However, the Night Demon shook its finger.

"Yo-hoo~ Yo-hoo~" This is a technical skill, you can't learn it!

The blue crocodile looked disappointed upon hearing this; it really wanted to learn that trick to attract girls to scream at it!

Before long, the Night Demon opened five or six cocktail shakers that it controlled simultaneously. The colorful liquids turned into trickles of water, which it controlled with its mental power and poured into the glasses in front of it.

Then the wine glass floated up out of thin air and landed steadily in the hands of the curly-eared creatures.

This cool move once again elicited cheers and screams from the curly-eared animals.

A hint of smugness flashed in the eyes of the Night Demon.

Of course, what it makes is not alcohol, but a mixed fruit juice drink made according to the recipe for fruit juice drinks provided by Anjie.

The juice is made by the throwing monkey, while the Night Demon is only responsible for mixing it.

After receiving the juice, the curly-eared animals happily left.

After finding a place to sit down, they began to chat while enjoying desserts and juice.

After hearing Giratina's words, Diancie also peeked inside and saw this scene. She then looked away and smiled at Giratina, saying:

"The Pokémon at home are a bit too lively."

Then, at Tianxi's invitation, Giratina went into the bar.

The moment it stepped inside, the previously cheerful and lively bar fell silent.

There's no way around it, Giratina looks scary, and the aura it exudes is terrifying.

Upon seeing this, Tianxi stepped forward and said, "Everyone, don't be afraid. This is Giratina, who has come to visit us today."

With Diancie's words, everyone's expressions relaxed, though their laughter wasn't as loud as before.

They huddled together in twos and threes, whispering about who Giratina really was.

Giratina and Yveltal arrived at the area with the large Pokémon and each lay down on a sofa.

The sofa's soft texture was a novel experience for Giralina.

At this moment, the monkey rushed over and quickly walked to Diancie's side.

So Diancie asked, "Giratina, what would you like to drink? Wine or juice?"

Giratina knows about both alcohol and juice, although it has never tasted them, but it can see the Pokémon world through the Distortion World.

At the same time, it didn't take either of those things seriously, so it replied, "Whatever!"

"Whatever"... This seemingly undemanding answer can actually be very frustrating.

So Tianxi smiled and said, "In that case, try them all. I'm sure you'll find one you like."

Giratina nodded, but inwardly he didn't think much of it.

Tianxi whispered a few words to the throwing monkey, who then nodded and left.

After a short while, Throwing Monkey arrived with Night Demon and a bunch of stuff.

The tray in the throwing monkey's hand is filled with all sorts of bottles and a bunch of drinking utensils.

The Night Demon was carrying all sorts of desserts and juices.

At this moment, the Night Demon was no longer as high-spirited as before. Its gaze toward Giratina was filled with fear, a reverence that came from the depths of its soul.

Throwing Monkey and Night Demon carefully placed the wine and dessert in front of Giratina.

The throwing monkey arranged the wine glasses one by one, with white wine in its own cup and red wine in its own glass.

After all the wine was poured, Tianxi said, "Giratina, have a taste."

Giratina nodded, then a glint flashed in its eyes, and a wine glass slowly floated to its front, its contents being poured into its mouth.

The first thing Giradina drank was a glass of baijiu, and it was even the famous Zhuyeqing liquor from Anjie's previous life.

The moment the liquor enters the throat, a spicy flavor fills the mouth, while a rich aroma fills the nasal cavity.

The moment the liquor enters the stomach, in addition to the spicy and stimulating taste, there is also a chilling sensation.

Giratina had never tasted this flavor before, and his first reaction was that it didn't taste good, but then he found it very delicious.

This...this feeling...is so irresistible!

Seeing that Giratina was savoring the memory with its eyes closed, no one disturbed it. After it opened its eyes again, Diancie said:

"Come on, have another taste of this!"

As he spoke, he pushed a pure white porcelain cup toward Giratina.

At this moment, Giratina was no longer the nonchalant person he had been before.

This time, Giratina is drinking the famous Dukang wine!

Unlike the crisp and refreshing Zhuyeqing, Dukang has a more lingering and unforgettable taste.

The more Giratina drank, the more intoxicated he became. He then tasted Nu'er Hong, Qiu Lu Bai, Li Hua Chun, Cang Wu Qing, and so on. Each wine had a unique flavor.

The Giralina has a really high alcohol tolerance; after finishing the white wine, it started tasting red wine.

Unlike the pungent taste of white wine, red wine has a richer and smoother flavor.

Similarly, different red wines have different flavors, some with a lemony sourness, some with a candy-like sweetness, and some with slightly astringent tannins...

However, compared to the smooth taste of red wine, Girardina feels that he still prefers the stimulating and intense flavor of white wine.

Although Giraldina has a high alcohol tolerance, many of the spirits made by Throwing Monkey are the kind that have a strong aftereffect.

After finishing his drink, Giralina was about to try the juice and dessert placed next to him, but the alcohol made him dizzy and he fell asleep.

Because the wine was unexpectedly delicious, he was actually looking forward to the juice and dessert.

After sleeping for an unknown amount of time, as the sun set, Giratina opened his eyes, feeling somewhat groggy.

There were no other Pokémon in the bar at this point, and it was quiet all around.

Because of his strong physique, Giratina did not suffer from severe alcohol-related side effects.

What surprised it even more was that after drinking the alcohol, it slept very well. When it woke up, it felt as if all its fatigue had been swept away, as if it had been relieved of a heavy burden.

What an amazing wine! Giratina couldn't help but think.

Just then, Xerneas's voice rang in its ears.

"You're awake!"

Giratina turned its head and saw Xerneas lying not far away, with Slimie and several Alcremie lying beside it.

"Yes, I had a very good sleep!" Giratina felt lazy all over and didn't want to get up at all, so she continued to lie there like she had no bones.

Xerneas then asked, "Are you hungry?"

Giratina replied, "It's alright!"

Xerneas gestured with his eyes and said, "Have some dessert to tide you over, then we should be able to have dinner in a little while."

After saying that, Xerneas lowered its head again. It turned out that it was watching a TV series with Fat Sweetie and Alcremie, and it was a melodramatic family drama.

This is Xernias' favorite.

Giratina looked at the table and found several desserts there.

Giratina used its mental power to bring the dessert to its mouth and swallowed a large piece in one bite. The soft, fluffy, and sweet taste immediately brought it a feeling of happiness.

That's the charm of desserts!

good to eat!

The dessert certainly didn't disappoint!

After finishing his dessert, Giratina let out a satisfied burp.

When it turned to look at Xerneas, it saw that Xerneas was keeping its head down, so it asked in confusion, "What are you looking at?"

Xerneas replied, "Watching TV dramas!"

After hesitating for a moment, it extended an invitation: "Would you... like to come along?"

Giratina hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded slightly.

Upon hearing this, Fat Sweetie and several Alcremie quickly shifted their positions to make room for Giratina.

Xerneas then adjusted the screen, making the projection in the air larger.

And so, Giratina and Xerneas, along with Slimie and Alcremie, lay limp on the sofa, quietly watching the TV series.

Occasionally, they would chime in to discuss the plot.

This is truly a strange scene.

Who would have thought that a Giralina could enjoy watching a melodramatic family drama so much!
