Chapter 287 Big News

When Anjie returned to the manor, he saw Gallade, Gardevoir, Glaceon, Pawpack, Miss Skirt, a family of rats, Flappy, and Flappy waiting for him at the villa entrance. The setting sun cast long shadows of the Pokémon.

"roar!"

Salamence roared happily, immediately attracting the attention of the Pokémon below. Gallade and Gardevoir immediately waved vigorously towards the sky, while the dog-like creature looked up and barked.

As soon as Angel landed, the Pokémon swarmed around her.

"I'm back!" Anjie said to everyone with a smile.

Gardevoir saw that the Koala in Ange's arms had already hugged its new tree pillow, so it took it from Ange and said happily:

"Great! The tree pillow koala's tree pillow has been found!"

Anjie nodded and said, "That's right, it took quite a bit of effort. Let's go back inside and talk."

So Angel led the Pokémon into the house, telling them about her encounter with Spearow and Finch, which drew gasps of surprise from everyone.

"By the way, have all the herbs been picked?" Anjie asked.

"We've finished picking them all, come with me!" Elredo pulled Angel away in one direction.

Led by the Pokémon, Anjax arrived at the manor's warehouse.

A night owl, which had been resting with its eyes closed, slowly opened its eyes after hearing the noise.

"Ailu~"

Gallade waved to Noctowl, who nodded slightly and its eyes glowed blue. Then the warehouse door slowly opened.

"Garde~ Gardevoir~" Gardevoir introduced to Ange that this night owl was the keeper of the manor's warehouse.

Upon hearing this, Anjie greeted the Night Hawk in a friendly manner, "Hello, Night Hawk, thank you for your hard work!"

"Goo~" The night owl nodded in a friendly gesture to Anjie.

Upon entering the warehouse, Anjie immediately noticed rows of baskets placed by the entrance, each filled with herbs.

In addition to the powerful and white vanilla that Ange originally planned to buy, it also included heart vanilla.

The three types of herbs are planted on roughly the same area in the manor. Because Anjay defeated Cattleya in a Pokémon battle, she gave all the herbs to Anjay.

Of course, to maintain aesthetics, the Pokémon only harvested the mature parts, picking only two or three leaves from each herb plant, so as not to leave it bare.

Good tea is generally made from the tender leaves of the tea tree, but this one is different; it requires the mature leaves of herbs as raw materials.

Only when the vanilla is fully mature will it contain abundant special energy, which will give the tea leaves it is roasted to have special effects.

After putting all the tea leaves into her system inventory, Ange said to the Pokémon, "Let's go back!"

During dinner that evening, Anger bid farewell to Cattleya and Cynthia, as he planned to leave the following morning.

Now that his objective has been achieved, it's time for him to return to Azoth.

During these days away from home, Angie misses his Pokémon very much.

After dinner, Angel played with the Pokémon in the yard for a while, and everyone also welcomed the newly joined Beedrill.

After playing for a while, everyone crowded around Angie and led her back to the house. At that moment, Karuno called Angie.

After Anjie answered the call, Karuno's image appeared in the sky above the phone screen via projection.

"Good evening, Ange!" Karuno smiled brightly.

Good evening, Karuno.

After some pleasantries, Karuno said, "I've sent you the information you requested. Please check it later!"

The information Karuno mentioned was naturally the list of participants in the league tournaments from various regions over the past fifty years.

Anjie replied gratefully, "I understand. Thank you so much, Karuno."

Karuno shook her head and said, "It's nothing, you've helped me a lot too!"

As the two chatted, the conversation suddenly turned to Team Flare. At that moment, Karuno's expression turned serious, and she then conveyed a shocking message to Angel.

"Angel, Vladali has escaped!"

An Jie paused for a moment, then frowned and asked, "Ran away? What do you mean?"

Then, through Karuno's narration, Ange finally learned what had happened.

After numerous investigations, the League finally uncovered evidence that Vladari was the leader of Team Flare and that Team Flare had engaged in illegal activities over the years.

So yesterday, the alliance organized an operation to arrest Vladali.

To everyone's surprise, when the main force of the alliance surrounded the headquarters of the Fradali Company, they found that it was already deserted.

Vladali actually gave up his vast fortune.

It's worth noting that the communications company controlled by Vladali was the largest enterprise in the Carlos region, generating countless amounts of wealth every year, yet he had the audacity to abandon it directly.

Not only did Vladari disappear, but Team Flare also went into complete hiding, and the League's numerous searches failed to find any trace of them.

Vladali's company had a great influence in the Carlos region, and his disappearance immediately threw the entire region into chaos. The alliance now not only had to hunt down Vladali, but also had to appease the impact of the communications company's paralysis.

Karuno said in a heavy tone, "This is hard to keep hidden, and there should be related reports tomorrow."

Speaking of Vladari, Karuno's tone was full of regret. They used to be good friends, but now they have completely drifted apart.

After chatting for a while, Anjie and Karunai ended their call, and Anjie then drifted off to sleep, preoccupied with her own thoughts.

Vladali's escape made him very uneasy.

Hopefully nothing goes wrong, and I hope Zygarde will be safe and sound.

As for the list, let's look at it tomorrow. Anjie isn't in the mood right now, and besides, there's so much information that it's impossible to finish looking at it all in a short time.

The next morning, while Anja was having breakfast with Gadriya and Cynthia, Cynthia asked, "Have you seen the news?"

Cattleya shook her head and said, "I didn't see. What's wrong? Did something unusual happen?"

Cynthia replied, "Something terrible has happened to Carlos! Vladali, the founder of Vladali Communications, has disappeared!"

Upon hearing this, Gadriya was startled. "No way?" she exclaimed, quickly pulling out her phone to browse the news.

Anjie then took out her phone.

As expected, Karuno's prediction was correct.

When the two turned on their phones, they saw that news about Vladali and the telecommunications company was everywhere.

Cynthia said, "According to insiders, Vladari is very likely the leader of Team Flare, and it was because of this that he was exposed and fled!"

As Cattleya flipped through the news, she said, "It's such a pity. I thought Fredari Communications could grow into a giant like Devon and Silver, but now that's hopeless..."

Cynthia nodded and said, "Who says otherwise? Vladali has always had a good reputation. I never expected... appearances can be deceiving."

As they chatted, they suddenly noticed that Anjie was calmly browsing the news, so Cattleya asked in confusion:

"The Vladali scandal must have had a huge impact on Carlos, right? Why aren't you, a Carlos, surprised at all by this news?"

Cynthia exclaimed in surprise, "You didn't already know about this, did you?" Cattleya asked, puzzled, "Wasn't this only reported this morning?"

Cynthia nodded. That's exactly why it's strange!

Anjie said helplessly, "I know Karunai."

Cattleya exclaimed in surprise, "You know Miss Karuno? You're quite something!"

Cynthia asked, puzzled, "Even if you know Ms. Karuno, she wouldn't possibly reveal such confidential information to you!"

Ange thought to himself: I can't very well tell you that I was the one who provided the crucial intelligence about Vladali's downfall!

Seeing that An Jie remained silent, the two women looked at her differently.

"You...you wouldn't happen to be a hidden key figure in the Carlos Alliance, would you?" Cattleya looked at Ange with suspicion.

Cynthia's expression was exactly the same as Gadriya's.

It's no wonder Cynthia was suspicious. Angelina was strong, had legendary Pokémon like Latios and Latias by her side, and knew Champion Diantha.

Nobody would believe you if you said he had nothing to do with the Carlos Alliance.

Anjie said helplessly, "I'm really just an ordinary cook!"

Cattleya rolled her eyes and said, "An ordinary cook with royal family status? An ordinary cook who can defeat the Four Heavenly Kings?"

Cynthia chimed in, "An ordinary cook with legendary Pokémon by his side? An ordinary cook who knows the Champion?"

Anjie: ...

However, Cynthia's words surprised Gadalia, who looked at her best friend and asked, "Legendary Pokémon? What do you mean?"

Cynthia quickly covered her mouth, "Oops, I let it slip!"

Although Ange hadn't told Cynthia to keep Latias and Latios a secret, she felt that since Ange hadn't brought it up, it wasn't appropriate for her to reveal it casually. So, even to her best friend, she didn't say a word.

Gadriya stared intently at Cynthia, who could only stammer.

Seeing this, Anjie stepped in to help her out, saying, "The legendary Pokémon Cynthia was referring to are Latias and Latios."

Upon hearing this, Gadria exclaimed in surprise, "Latias and Latios? The Infinite Pokémon Latias and Latios?"

Anjie nodded.

"You also have Latias and Latios? You're a legendary trainer?" Cattleya asked incredulously.

Anjie nodded again.

Gadriya suddenly looked at Cynthia and said, "You knew all along?"

Cynthia said guiltily, "I was having barbecue with Angie, and I saw it by accident!"

Cattleya said quietly, "You really are my best friend, how could you keep such an important thing from me!"

Also, you two keep calling each other Angie and Cynthia, when did you become so close? Just because of a barbecue?

Anjie: ...

Cynthia: ...

Gadriya then turned to Ange and questioned, "So you held back when you fought me?"

Anjie: Is this the focus?

Cynthia quickly comforted Cattleya, saying, "Now you know! Don't be angry."

"Hmph~" Cattleya said discontentedly, "How can this be the same?"

After a moment of silence, the usually haughty Cattleya suddenly said to Ange hesitantly, "Um... um... could I meet Latios and Latias?"

Caitlia is a trainer specializing in Psychic-type Pokémon, and Latias and Latios are legendary Pokémon of the Psychic type. Of course, she wanted to see them for herself, given the rare opportunity.

Anjie readily agreed, "Of course, we have received Miss Cattleya's kindness, so there's no reason not to grant this small request."

Cattleya jumped to her feet, excitedly raising her hands and cheering, "Great! Great..."

Halfway through her cheers, she noticed that Angie and Cynthia were both staring at her. Realizing her lapse in composure, she blushed deeply, shyly sat back down in her chair, and whispered to Angie:

"Th-thank you."

Cynthia laughed at this.

Liya is so cute, I haven't seen her this happy in a long time.

"You're welcome." Angel said to Cattleya with a smile, then took out two Poké Balls and threw them into the air. "Come out, Latias, Latios."

"Waaah~"

"Waaah~"

With two flashes of red light, Latios and Latias appeared in the air, waving to Cynthia and Cattleya.

Cattleya's eyes widened. "It really is Latios and Latios!"

Upon hearing this, Latias and Latios flew to Gadria's side at the same time. They were very friendly Pokémon, so they were very friendly to Gadria.

Blushing, Cattleya asked the brother and sister, "May I touch you?"

The brother and sister looked at each other, then smiled and nodded at the same time.

Cattleya happily reached out and touched Latias's cheek, and Latias rubbed his hand against hers.

Encouraged by Latias's attitude, Cattleya was overjoyed and moved closer to Latias, touching him even more wantonly.

So cute! So cute! Gadria couldn't help but think.

Because she adored the brother and sister so much, Cattleya instructed the butler, "Bernard, quickly, bring up all the good food!"

Bernard smiled and said, "Yes, Miss."

This was the first time he had ever seen the young lady so happy.

Soon, all sorts of delicious food were brought out by the servants. They prepared a table especially for Latias and Latios, which was filled with food.

"Quickly, Latios, Latios, eat!" Cattleya looked at the brother and sister with expectant eyes.

The brother and sister then looked at Anjie.

Anjie smiled and said, "Eat up, don't let Miss Cattleya's kindness go to waste."

Upon hearing this, Latias and Latios immediately began to enjoy the food with great delight.

Unfortunately, after eating it, they were somewhat disappointed. The food looked exquisite, but it was far inferior to what Anjie had made.

By this time, Ange had finished breakfast. After wiping his mouth with a napkin, he said, "We'll be setting off soon, Cynthia, Miss Cattleya. Until we meet again."

Cynthia nodded and said, "Have a safe journey. I'll definitely visit Azot and try the food at Munchlax's house when I have the chance."

"You're welcome anytime," Anjie said with a smile.

Caldelia was busy watching Latias and Latios eat, a mysterious smile on her face, and she didn't pay any attention to Ange.
