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

Chapter 274 Then I'll have to use my best skills!

At Andrew's invitation, Angie enjoyed a delicious dinner at his home.

After dinner, Angie and the others rested for a while. Andrew said, "Alright, let's go deal with those awful guys!"

Anjie glanced at the sky outside and saw that it was completely dark, so she asked, "Going so late?"

Andrew said angrily, "Those guys only come at night, they're so arrogant! If it were daytime, we probably would have caught them already!"

Anjie said, "I see. Let's set off now!"

As the two approached the gate of Andrew's courtyard, a young villager hurriedly ran towards them with a flashlight.

"Ann...Grandpa Andrew, those...those guys are here again!"

"They're here again?" Andrew was furious. "Let's go, if we don't teach them a lesson today, they'll really think we're easy to bully."

As he spoke, he grabbed the villager and hurried forward, and Anjie quickly followed.

The three of them soon arrived at their destination, where they found a field of Heart Herbs where a villager was directing a Vileplume and some unknown Pokémon in battle.

The Pokémon was hiding in the Heart Herb patch, occasionally popping out to attack the Vileplume, which was completely helpless against it.

Because it was too dark and the herb bushes were covering the area, the Pokémon's true appearance remained unclear.

And they are so fast that when a person shines a flashlight on them, they can only see a fleeting shadow.

Andrew said, "Those guys are as cunning as ever."

Although those Pokémon have caused trouble many times, they always come at night, so the villagers still don't know what they really are.

Andrew introduced the villager involved in the battle to Ange, saying, "That's A-Xiang, the strongest trainer in our village, but even he couldn't handle those nasty guys, so we asked you for help!"

Anjie nodded and then activated the waveguide.

Using his aura, he discovered four Pokémon in the herb bushes, but strangely, their auras were very special, with almost identical frequencies.

Each creature's aura is unique, and Ange had never seen four Pokémon with such similar aura waves before.

Could they be quadruplets?

However, logically speaking, even if they are twins, their waveguides should be quite different!

Perhaps worried about damaging the herb bushes, Ah Xiang and Ba Wang Hua were hesitant and at a disadvantage in the battle.

Furthermore, according to Anjie's observation, the four Pokémon hidden in the herb bushes should be of a high level, at least far exceeding Vileplume.

Unfortunately, without seeing its true appearance, he couldn't use his Eye of Observation.

"Ah Xiang!" Andrew shouted at Ah Xiang.

"Grandpa Andrew!" Ah Xiang turned around, but because his attention was diverted, the Queen of the Night was hit by white light that kept emerging from the herb bushes.

The Queen of the Night screamed and collapsed to the ground, unable to get up.

With the strength of those Pokémon, defeating Vileplume wouldn't have been difficult; it's just that for some reason, they hadn't been going all out before.

"Damn it!" Ah Xiang cursed angrily.

Andrew realized that he had distracted Ah Xiang, which caused Ba Wanghua to make a mistake, so he quickly stepped forward and said:

"Ah Xiang, quickly take Ba Wang Hua and let her rest. Leave the rest to An Jie!"

"Who is Anjie?" Ah Xiang looked at Anjie in confusion.

Andrew quickly explained, "It's the trainer I invited today!"

Upon hearing this, Ah Xiang suddenly understood. He bowed to An Jie and said, "Then I'll leave it to you!"

Anjie said, "I will definitely do my best."

After he finished speaking, he looked at the vanilla field. Although he couldn't see anything, he could hear rustling sounds coming from inside.

Ange pulled out a Poké Ball, and the next second Aegislash appeared outside.

"Aegislash, Shadow Ball!" Ange said, pointing in a direction to Aegislash.

With waveguide positioning, he can accurately pinpoint the location of those Pokémon.

"Gil~~" The Aegislash immediately condensed a black energy ball and shot it out.

To Ange's surprise, nothing happened when the Shadow Ball landed in the herb bush.

What's going on? Anjie was completely confused.

"Aegislash, keep going!" Ange said, pointing in another direction.

"Gil~" The Aegislash nodded and then condensed another Shadow Ball and threw it out.

The situation was the same as before; the herb bushes were quiet, and the Shadow Orb had no chance to attack.

"Impossible!" Angie thought to himself. He clearly sensed that there was a Pokémon there.

Suddenly, a thought struck him: It's a Normal-type Pokémon, it must be a Normal-type Pokémon!

Only Normal-type Pokémon are immune to Shadow Ball attacks.

"Shielded Sword Monster, Metallic Sound!" Ange changed tactics.

As Ange finished speaking, the Aegislash's body trembled violently, accompanied by a series of metallic hums.

The unpleasant sound of metal scraping together made Angie and his friends instinctively cover their ears, and it also aroused the Pokémon hidden in the herbs.

At that moment, Anjie thought she vaguely heard a "squeak" sound.

A squeaking sound? The squeaking sound of a mouse... Could the mischievous Pokémon be Rattata or a baby Rattata?

If it's these two Pokémon causing trouble, then that's normal.

This type of Pokémon reproduces quickly and prefers to settle in places with abundant food, and Herb Village, with its large cultivation of herbs, is precisely such a place with plentiful food.

The recipes for larda and baby larda are very diverse, and herbs are not only delicious but also nutritious for them.

Just as Anjie was pondering, several beams of white light shot out from the herb bushes, striking the Aegislash Monster one after another and sending it flying.

Just as Anjie had predicted, they were of a high level, and even the Shielded Sword Monster suffered a loss.

The Shielded Sword Monster quickly regained its footing in mid-air and swiftly drew its sword, unleashing a powerful strike to a vital spot.

"Squeak~~"

A scream rang out, and a figure fell into the herb bushes, immediately causing the other mischievous Pokémon to cry out in panic.

The Pokémon didn't stop after falling; instead, it dragged its injured body and moved quickly.

Ange sensed that the four Pokémon quickly gathered together, presumably to check on their companion's injuries.

Anjie pointed to the place where they had gathered and said, "Strong shield and sword, a sneak attack on vitals!"

"Gil~~" the Aegislash responded, and with a flash of sword light, a sword mark was immediately cleaved in the herb patch.

The Shielded Swordsman's swordsmanship was superb, and he didn't damage the herb bushes at all.

"Huh?" At this moment, Anjie suddenly realized that the four Pokémon had disappeared from his perception.

"What's wrong, Angie?" Andrew asked, hearing no sound from Angie. "Did you defeat them?"

Anjie shook his head. "I'm afraid they've gotten away!"

As he spoke, he stepped into the herb patch, came to the spot where the Shieldbearer had just struck, and touched the ground with his hand.

He soon discovered that, in addition to a sword mark, there was also a bottomless cave.

"I see!" He stood up and said to Andrew and the others, "They escaped by digging tunnels."

"So that's what digging holes is all about! No wonder I could never catch those guys!" Ah Xiang exclaimed in sudden realization.

Their ability to emerge from underground and escape is truly difficult to guard against.

"Damn it! Damn it! When are those guys going to stop tormenting us?!" Andrew was so angry he was jumping up and down.

Anjie said apologetically, "I'm sorry I couldn't help everyone catch them."

Andrew said, "It's alright, we'll keep trying tomorrow night! I refuse to believe they can turn the world upside down!"

Anjie nodded. "I'll think of something when we get back. I'll definitely catch them tomorrow night!"

"Okay, I believe you!" Andrew stepped forward and patted Angie on the shoulder. "Let's go back and rest tonight!"

So everyone went their separate ways. Ah Xiang and his companions went home, while An Jie went home with Andrew.

The next morning, Anjie was awakened by Duduli's loud cries.

As soon as he stepped out of the room, a rich fragrance wafted towards him.

Inside the restaurant, Andrew was sitting in a chair watching the news, while Aya was wolfing down her breakfast.

Because Aya has to go to school in the morning, she eats earlier than everyone else.

Upon seeing Angie, Andrew said with a smile, "You're up? That's pretty early. Go wash up and come have breakfast."

Nowadays, young people like to sleep in, and there aren't many who get up early like Anjie.

His daughter Aya overslept today, which is why he was in such a rush.

"Hey~" Anjie responded and went into the washroom.

When he came out, Aya was no longer there. Andrew pushed a bowl of milky white soup in front of Anjie and said, "Quickly try my wife's cooking. This is her specialty."

Upon hearing this, An Jie picked up the soup and took a sip. The warm broth flowed down her throat, and the rich aroma lingered on her lips and teeth.

"Delicious! This is..."

Just then, Andrew's wife, Grandma Julian, came over, placed a plate of bread in front of Andrew, and said with a smile:

"It's just a regular soup, something everyone in our herb village knows how to make. It's made with herbs from our herb village, which gives it a unique aroma."

In addition to Spirit Vanilla, Power Vanilla, and White Vanilla, Herb Village also grows a wide variety of other vanilla.

Anjie suddenly realized, "No wonder!"

Grandma Julian added, "Try the bread again. It has herbs in it too. It's definitely different from the bread you've eaten before."

Anjie nodded, picked up a piece of bread and tasted it, and was once again amazed by its unique aroma.

He looked up in surprise and asked, "Grandma Julian, you're amazing! The soup and the bread are both perfectly infused with the flavor of herbs. How did you do that?"

"It's nothing really, just a habit," Grandma Julian said with a smile. "But Anjie, you seem to know a lot about them, are you a gourmet?"

Anjie shook his head and said, "No, no, no, I'm not a gourmet, I'm just a cook."

Grandma Julian suddenly realized, "No wonder, you're a chef. Most people who eat my food just praise how delicious it is, but they don't know why it's so delicious."

Angie hesitated for a moment before asking, "This perfect combination of herbs and food...Grandma Julian, could you teach me?"

Grandma Julian replied, "Of course, no problem. How about we cook lunch together?"

She was just a housewife, not a professional chef. Her culinary skills were honed through years of trial and error in her daily life, so she didn't hold onto them with any sense of self-importance.

On the contrary, she was very happy that her skills were praised and recognized by Anjie.

"Okay, then please guide me!" Anjie said happily.

"Please give me your guidance, please give me your guidance!" Grandma Julian said with a smile.

At this moment, Andrew said, "Angel, I have things to do after breakfast, so you can wander around the village by yourself. If you need anything, just let someone know."

Anjie nodded and said, "Okay!"

After breakfast, Andrew went out to work. After saying goodbye to Grandma Julian, Angie took Miss Skirt and the others out.

The herb village is charming, and strolling around is a pleasure.

Smelling the faint fragrance in the air, the flower petals and buds danced merrily in the air.

"Rabe~ Rabe~" Teacher, I like it here.

"Whoosh~ Whoosh~" Yes, it smells so good, it smells so good!

Miss Skirt smiled at the three students and said, "When we get home, let's plant a patch of herbs too!"

"Whoosh~" Okay!

"Rabe~ Okay!"

Huayedi and Huabeibei are very happy.

As they walked, Miss Skirt suddenly said to Anjie, "Actually, I have a way to help you catch those Pokémon easily."

Anjie exclaimed in surprise, "Really? What method?"

Miss Skirt turned her head away from Anjie, "Hmph, I won't tell you that so easily!"

Anjie grabbed Miss Qun'er's hand and joked, "Please, Miss Qun'er, if you're willing to tell me, I'm willing to give myself to you!"

With Anjie's hand affectionately held, Miss Skirt stiffened all over. Coupled with Anjie's masculine charm and coquettishness, Miss Skirt blushed and her heart pounded. She stammered:

"Hmph, who wants you to repay me with your body!"

Anjie feigned disappointment and withdrew her hand, saying, "Oh? You don't want it? That's such a pity!"

Miss Skirt snorted coldly, "Shameless!"

Anjie asked with a smile, "So, Miss Skirt, what would it take for you to help me?"

Anjie's words made Miss Skirt blush slightly, and she stammered, "If you want me to help you, you have to grant me one request."

Anjie gave Miss Qun'er a gentlemanly bow. "Beautiful lady, please speak."

Miss Skirt said, "Make me a meal that will satisfy me."

Miss Skirt has become completely fascinated by the food Anjie has prepared over the past few days.

Anjie laughed and said, "That's it?"

Miss Skirt raised her head and said, "Hmph, it doesn't count if I'm not satisfied!"

Anjie smiled knowingly and said, "Then I'll have to use my best skills!"

Miss Skirt gave a soft hum and then strode forward.

Anjie quickly caught up and asked, "You still haven't told me what the solution is!"

Miss Skirt continued walking forward without looking back, replying, "You'll find out then!"

Walking along the green path, Miss Skirt suddenly noticed that many grass seeds had formed on the roadside weeds, so she took Flower Leaf Stem and Flower Bud over to pick them.

Anjie asked疑惑地问道, "Why pick this? Aren't they everywhere?"

Miss Skirt, without even looking up, said, "Never mind that!"

"Alright!" he said, squatting down to help Miss Skirt pick the flowers.
