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

Chapter 285 Damn it

After failing to find the source of the ringing bell multiple times, Anjie had learned to give up and ignored the ringing bell to continue cooking.

Soon the heat was just right, and Anjie lifted the lid of the stew pot, releasing a rich aroma that made the Pokémon drool uncontrollably.

The rice was cooked by then, so Ange bought a bunch of disposable bowls from the system shop and called to the Pokémon:

"Everyone, come over here quickly!"

Although the Pokémon really wanted to eat it, they didn't rush forward immediately. Each of them had a hesitant expression on their face. Some took a step forward, but then quickly pulled back, looking extremely conflicted.

At this moment, the venerable earth-platform tortoise said, "Come on, everyone, let's eat together!"

The Pokémon cheered and rushed to Angel's side one after another.

Seeing so many Pokémon, Angie quickly said, "Everyone, don't rush, line up, one at a time."

The Pokémon, their mouths watering from the delicious aroma, made a racket and couldn't hear a word Angeline was saying.

Seeing this, the Lizard King leaped onto a tree branch and shouted loudly down, "Quiet down, all of you!"

The moment the sound rang out, the noisy scene fell silent, and everyone shrank back, too afraid to look at the Lizard King.

Seeing this, the earth turtle couldn't help but laugh.

It and the Lizard King are the patriarchs here. Usually, they like to play the good cop and the bad cop. The Lizard King is seen as dignified, and no one dares to anger it.

Seeing that everyone had quieted down, the Lizard King said in a serious voice, "Line up!"

The Pokémon quickly lined up in formation, looking incredibly well-behaved.

Seeing this, Anjie couldn't help but laugh; everyone's timid and hesitant appearance was hilarious.

"Everyone come and get your bowls, then go to the Aegislash monster to get your rice, and then come to me to get your vegetables."

As Ange finished speaking, the Pokémon did as he instructed in an orderly manner.

Depending on the Pokémon's size, Angelina and Aegislash will adjust the amount of food they are given.

The disposable bowl that Angel bought from the system store is made of a special material from the Pokémon world. It is as easy to degrade as ordinary leaves, making it very environmentally friendly.

After getting the food, the Pokémon immediately took it to the side and began to feast, followed by a series of exclamations.

They were all encountering human food for the first time, so they were naturally amazed, especially since Anjie's cooking was so delicious.

Anjie was serving the food when the queue suddenly stopped, followed by the anxious urging of Pokémon.

Anjie looked up and saw a Scyther holding a bowl of food, hesitating to move forward. Because it was wasting time, the Pokémon behind it, eager to enjoy their food, were urging it on.

Anjie recognized the Scyther at a glance; it was the same Pokémon that had been healing in the lake earlier and had even glared at Anjie.

The mantis had just glared at Anjie, and then came to beg for food, which made it feel very ashamed, so it was too embarrassed to go forward.

Anjie didn't care at all about Scyther's previous rudeness, after all, he was the uninvited guest here, and Scyther was just being wary of strangers.

"What are you standing there for? Come here!" Anjie smiled and waved to the Flying Mantis.

"Hah~" The flying mantis walked awkwardly to An Jie and carefully handed him the rice bowl.

After Anjie took the bowl, he filled it to the brim. The flying mantis thanked Anjie gratefully and then happily took the bowl to enjoy its meal.

Watching the Scyther's retreating figure, Anjie smiled and shook his head.

Sceptile and Torterra were the last to get their food. They started eating with Angel's Pokémon only after everyone else had started.

The two Pokémon were amazed after just one bite.

"Is this the skill of a human chef? It's amazing!" the Tortoise couldn't help but praise.

"Mmm~~" The Lizard King nodded vigorously in agreement with the Earth Platform Turtle while eating heartily. Its adorable appearance was completely different from its previous aggressive image of attacking Anjie at the slightest disagreement.

"I'm glad you like it." Angie served himself a bowl, then sat down on a stool and enjoyed it with the Pokémon.

Anjie chewed a mouthful of vegetables mixed with a mouthful of rice, nodding in satisfaction as she put the food into her mouth.

Hmm~~~ That's great, looks like my cooking skills have improved again!

While he ate, he also fed the tree-pillow koala in his arms.

Latios, Latias, and Salamence were all very hungry and were also eating voraciously, especially Salamence, which was eating with great relish, making Angel's appetite soar as well.

Just as Ange was enjoying his lunch, a small, grass-green Pokémon with a big head suddenly appeared out of thin air on the table.

It stared intently at the food in Anjie's bowl with its round eyes, not even noticing that it was drooling.

*Slurp* The mysterious Pokémon sucked in its saliva and subconsciously wiped it with its little hand.

It was this commotion that made Anjie discover its existence.

Ange froze, staring wide-eyed at the mysterious Pokémon for several seconds, then jumped to his feet and exclaimed in disbelief:

"Holy crap, Celebi!"

Anjie never dreamed that he would encounter the Mythical Pokémon Celebi here.

Celebi, the time-traveling Pokémon, possesses Psychic and Grass-type powers. It has the ability to travel through time and miraculously travels through various time periods.

Furthermore, it has the ability to distribute its power to plants, and forests where it appears will grow extremely lush, hence it is also known as the god of the forest.

Anjie's sudden standing up startled Shirabi, who tumbled several times on the table and nearly fell to the ground. Fortunately, Anjie caught it in time.

Sitting in Anja's palm, Shirabi stared wide-eyed at Anja with a bewildered look, looking absolutely adorable.

At this moment, Anja finally understood who the shrine outside was for, and who else could it be but the shrine priest?

"Um... hello?" After a moment of silence, Anjai greeted Silavi first.

"Bi~" Silavi quickly flapped his wings and flew away from Ange's hands.

Tortoise and Sceptile gathered around Celebi, calling out to him loudly, while Celebi happily flew around above them.

After playing around with everyone for a while, Shirabi flew back to Anjie and pointed to Anjie's rice bowl.

"Do you want some too?" Anjie asked.

"Bi~ Bi~" Srirabbi nodded vigorously.

Anjie smiled and said, "Then wait a moment."

"Bi~" Silavi nodded and flew to the table, sitting down obediently.

Anjie quickly ladled out a meal and placed it in front of Celebi, handing it a spoon and saying, "Eat up!"

"Bi~" Silavi waved the small spoon twice, then began to frantically shovel food into his mouth.

It is not a Pokémon that knows nothing about the human world, so it knows very well how to eat with a spoon.

"It's so delicious! So delicious!"

The rabbi quickly filled his mouth with food.

Upon seeing this, Anjie smiled and sat back down on her stool to continue enjoying her lunch.

Although Celebi looks small, it has a surprisingly large appetite, quickly finishing a bowl of food.

It pushed the clean bowl in front of Anjie and looked at Anjie with its big, bright eyes in a cute and endearing way.

Anjie's heart melted at its sight. "Want more?"

"Bi~" Srirabbi nodded happily.

"Okay, I'll serve you some!" Anjie said with a smile as she stood up.

While Anja was serving the food, Shirabbi flew to the large pot and started pointing and gesturing.

Anjie pointed at the aromatic mushrooms with her spoon and asked, "You like to eat this?"

"Bi~ Bi~" Srirabbi nodded vigorously.

Anjie laughed and said, "Then I'll give you a bigger serving!"

"Bi~~" Silavi immediately spun around happily in the air, and then continued to point at the pot, asking Angie to serve it its favorite food.

The shrine is not a vegetarian; it enjoys tender mushrooms, soft and sweet pumpkin, and fragrant pork ribs, showing a wide variety of tastes.

And so, Shirabbi ate three large bowls before lying on the table with a round belly, his little hands still rubbing his tummy.

Seeing that it was uncomfortable from being so full, Anjie prepared a glass of juice for it to help with digestion.

"Drinking this will make me feel better."

Shirabbi quickly took the juice and sipped it slowly through the straw that Anje handed him.

Anjie admired its adorable appearance while chatting with it, the earth turtle, and the lizard king.

Through conversation, Anjie learned that the ancestors of the earth-platform tortoises grew up under the protection of the shrine.

Long, long ago, Yveltal caused a great disaster in a forest, leaving many Pokémon homeless and displaced.

(Anjie: Oh my god, Yveltal, how come it's your fault again!)

Yveltal: I don't know.

One of the teams, which mainly consisted of Grass-type Pokémon, accidentally encountered Celebi, which included Torterra's ancestor.

Later, the rabbi brought them to this dense forest and sheltered them, allowing them to settle here.

The entrance here was formed by the power of the shrine.

In the years that followed, Celebi would appear in this forest every now and then to visit the Pokémon living there.

The knowledge about the earth turtle comes from the teachings of the shrine.

The bell that Ange heard earlier was actually a special phenomenon produced when the Celebi traveled through time and space, also known as the forest echo.

The shaman had been silently observing Ange, and it was only after the shaman's instruction that Tutai Turtle trusted Ange.

The Lizard King's attitude towards Ange changed because of Celebi's presence.

Why would a rabbi trust Anja?

Because during the battle with Salamence and Sceptile, Angel reminded Salamence not to use Fire-type moves.

In the eyes of the rabbis, how could someone who loves the forest be a bad person?

During the ensuing conversation, Silavi learned why Anja had come to this forest. Suddenly, it flew up from the table and waved to Anja.

"Bi~ Bi~" Anjie, come here, come here quickly.

Anjie asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

Silabhi urged Anja, "Bibhi~ Bibhi~" Come here, you'll see when you come here!

Anja had no choice but to get up and follow the rabbi.

Silabhi flew toward the top of the sacred tree. At first, Anjae could barely keep up, but as the height increased and the climb became more and more difficult, he gradually began to struggle.

Just then, the Shielded Sword Monster flew over and stopped next to Anjie. Anjie understood and stepped on it.

Aegislash carried Angel up to a high place, and when they were close to the top of the Divine Tree, Celebi suddenly stopped, and Aegislash quickly braked.

"Shrabi!" Angel called out to it.

"Bi~" Silavi smiled at Anja, and then his whole body radiated a bright green light.

To Anjie's astonishment, a green bud sprouted from the trunk of the divine tree.

Under the power of the Celebi, the green sprout grew rapidly and in the blink of an eye, it grew into a thick tree branch.

The branches kept sprouting and growing, and soon they grew into a small tree.

At this moment, the rabbi placed his hand on the sapling, and a shimmering green light was poured into the sapling's body. The sapling began to sway gently, and the leaves rustled as they rubbed against each other.

Five or six minutes later, the shrub withdrew his hand, and the sapling quieted down.

The sapling was lush and green, each leaf seemingly glowing; it was clearly remarkable.

That's true. If the sapling were just an ordinary sapling, the rabbi wouldn't have bothered to force it to grow. The sacred tree has many branches, some thick and some strong.

With a crisp snap, the sapling was cut down by Celebi's magic leaf.

Celebi used his superpowers to drag the little tree to Anja's side and handed the little tree to Anja.

"For me?" Anjie asked.

"Bi~" Silavi pointed to the koala cub lying on Ange's head.

"Make tree pillows for koalas?" Angie asked again.

"Bi~ Bi~" Yes, yes, for the tree-pillow koala!

The rabbi danced joyfully in the air.

Anja said gratefully, "Thank you, Shrine Brigade!"

Then he said to the tree-pillow koala, "Tree-pillow koala, come and see if you like this piece of wood."

The tree-pillow koala slowly climbed down from Anjie's head, then up Anjie's shoulder and arm, all the way to the small tree, and then hugged it tightly.

"It seems you really like it!" Anjie's face lit up with a delighted smile.

It's really not easy to win over a tree-pillow koala!

Anjie: "Let's go downstairs, I'll help you make the wood into tree pillows."

So Angel, Aegislash, and Celebi returned to the platform.

Latios, Latias, and Salamence were all very happy for the Tree Pillow Bear when they learned that it had found the wood it wanted.

Anja first had the Aegislash cut the wood into suitable sizes, and then took out knives, sandpaper, and other tools for further processing and polishing.

As time went on, a new tree pillow was created that was almost the same size and shape as the original tree pillow koala, except that the texture and quality were different.

Anjie inadvertently glanced at the new tree pillow with his Observational Eye and discovered that it was no ordinary tree pillow, but rather had special effects.

Anjie's eyes then lit up with the information about the new tree pillow.

"Earth Tree Pillow:..."
