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

Chapter 288 I'm back! Welcome home!

As she spoke, Ange took out two boxes and placed them on the table. After opening them, she said to Cattleya and Cynthia:

"Thank you both for your hospitality these past few days. This is some homemade fruit wine, nothing expensive, but I'm just taking the liberty of offering it as a token of my gratitude. I hope you like it!"

Thinking of the beer they'd have at the barbecue, Cynthia happily accepted her box, saying, "Angel, you're too kind! I really love this gift!"

The two bottles of fruit wine that Cynthia received were pear wine and peach wine.

The pineapple wine is golden in color, as dazzling as Cynthia's long golden hair; the peach fruit is pink, as dreamy and beautiful as a gemstone.

Cynthia reached out and stroked the two bottles of wine, her delight evident.

Cattleya pulled her box closer and her eyes were immediately drawn to the two bottles of wine lying inside.

She received two bottles: one of garnet wine and the other of blackberry wine.

The garnet wine is bright red and clear, and when light shines on it, it refracts a mesmerizing halo in the box; the black berry wine is deep purple, almost black, profound and mysterious, as if it can draw one's gaze into it.

Just looking at her, Cattleya couldn't help but feel a fondness for her, but being proud and aloof, she wouldn't say what was on her mind.

"Hmph, at least you know a little manners."

After delivering the gifts, Angel recalled Latias and Latios into their Poké Balls and said to them, "It's getting late, I should get going!"

Gadriya looked at the Poké Ball in Ange's hand with a reluctant expression, and instructed Bernard, "Butler, see him off!"

"Yes, Miss," Bernard said with a smile.

Then, led by Butler Bernard, Ange, Miss Skirt, Flower Leaf, and Flower Bebe arrived at the manor gate. He released the Salamander, and Miss Skirt and the others climbed onto its back. Then he said to Bernard:

Goodbye, Grandpa Bernard!

As soon as he finished speaking, the Salamence flapped its wings and slowly took flight.

Bernard waved and said, "Goodbye, come visit again sometime."

"Okay, I'll definitely come when I have time!"

As Bernard watched, the Salamence's figure receded further and further into the distance until it completely disappeared into the horizon.

Ange flew all the way to Windfall Town, and then took a train from Windfall Town back to Azot.

On the way, he took out his phone and accessed the information that Karuna had sent him, searching for the name Xiaochen over and over again.

Time passed slowly, and he went through the information again and again, but he still couldn't find a contestant named Xiao Chen.

Could it be that that person didn't participate in the league tournament? Or perhaps... Xiao Chen is actually an alias?

With that in mind, Anjie finally stopped worrying about the name Xiaochen and started looking for people in the participating teams who had the Fire Crocodile, the Scorching Crocodile, and the Bone-Patterned Giant Crocodile.

However, there are quite a few people who use these three Pokémon, especially in the Padilla region, where a large number of people use Feraligatr, Torkoal, and Krookodile in competitions every year.

There's no way around it, since Crocodile is one of the starter Pokémon in the Padina region.

(Note: It is unknown whether there was a League Tournament in the Lipadia region in the original work, but we will assume that there was here.)

Ange singled out all the trainers who owned Kyogre, Kyogre, and Kyogre, and then pulled up their photos one by one, intending to have Miss Skirt identify them.

After making her selection, Anjie waved to Miss Qun'er, who was sitting opposite her, and said, "Miss Qun'er, come here for a moment."

"What?" Miss Skirt asked in confusion.

"Come and see if Xiao Chen is in here." An Jie showed her phone to Miss Qun'er.

Upon hearing this, Miss Skirt immediately sat down next to Anjie and leaned close to Anjie's phone to examine it carefully.

"This isn't..."

"This isn't it either..."

"no……"

"no……"

……

For each photo it denies, Ange quickly slides to the next one.

After an unknown amount of time, Miss Skirt suddenly exclaimed upon seeing a photograph, "It's him! It's him! This is Xiao Chen!"

Although the person in the photo has changed quite a bit compared to the Xiao Chen in her memory, Miss Skirt still recognized her at a glance.

Anjie looked at the photo Miss Qun'er was pointing to. It showed a young man who looked to be around 20 years old. He had striking red short hair and a somewhat arrogant and ambitious expression...

Anjie immediately retrieved his information, which was marked as follows:

Yuji, 20 years old, from the town of Dancing in the Galer region, champion of the Galer ××× League Tournament.

Then Anjie pulled up his other information and quickly discovered that this person was indeed from the Carlos region.

Yuji was originally an orphan. After he turned 10, he somehow got his starter Pokémon, Froakie, and then went on a trip to the Galar region. He never returned to Kalos after that.

For the next three years, Karuno's information did not include Yuji's information until he was 13 years old and participated in his first league tournament.

At that time, his Silencer had evolved into the Bone-Patterned Giant Crocodile.

In addition, the other five Pokémon he used in the competition were Bug/Dark type Razorhopper, Flying/Steel type Corviknight, Fighting type Strider, Fighting type Octopod, and Dark type Treant.

That year, he didn't even make it to the top 16 in the competition.

Of course, this is not surprising. Every year, a large number of people participate in the league tournament, but most of them fail to make a splash.

The following year, Yuji did not participate in the League Tournament again, but instead participated in the Unova League Tournament a year later.

The Pokémon he used in this competition, besides Korver and Corviknight, were the Steel-type Bronzebeard, the Normal-type Buffalo, the Ice-type Double-Edge Ice, and the Dragon-type Haxorus.

That year, he successfully advanced to the league's top 16.

The following year, he participated in the Sinnoh League tournament. In addition to his previous Bone-patterned Feraligatr, Corviknight, and Haxorus, his team also included three other Pokémon: Empoleon (Water/Steel), Bronco (Steel/Psychic), and Leafeon (Grass).

That year, he made it to the quarterfinals of the league tournament.

In the following years, he went quiet again until he was 20 years old, when he participated in the league competition again.

This is the last match recorded in the data. He returned to the Galar region and participated in that year's League Tournament.

In addition to Feraligatr, Corviknight, Haxorus, Empoleon, and Eevee, the Pokémon he fielded this time included Grimmsnarl (Dark/Fairy type) and Dragapult (Dragon/Ghost type).

That year, he won the league championship, defeating his opponent by a narrow margin.

It is quite obvious that after hatching Feraligatr, Yuji used its power to embark on the path of a trainer, and in the days that followed, he continuously optimized his Pokémon lineup, eventually even obtaining the pseudo-legendary Dragapult.

It must be said that he has a very clear plan for his future and a strong ability to execute it.

"Have you found him yet?" Miss Skirt asked anxiously.

Anjie nodded and replied, "The records show that he now resides in the town of Dance in Galar."

"Galar? Dance Town?" Miss Skirt looked puzzled; the two words were unfamiliar to her. But then she added, "Now that we've found him, let's hurry and see him! I'll make sure he doesn't get away with this!"

Anjie said helplessly, "The Galar region is very far from the Carlos region. Come home with me first, and we can discuss the rest later."

Miss Skirt had waited for decades and was already impatient. She said anxiously, "What are we waiting for? Let's go right now! I can't wait any longer!"

Anjie reassured it, "Even if it's urgent, there's no need to rush right now. We need to make some preparations!"

With Anjie's reassurance, Miss Skirt finally calmed down. "Alright, I'll go home with you first, but we need to get going as soon as we get back!"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Anjie replied repeatedly.

Around 1 p.m., the train arrived safely in Azot.

As soon as he got out of the car, Anjie couldn't wait to rush home.

As Anjie emerged from the spatial passage, feeling the unique temperature and fresh air of the Nibel Plateau, a warm feeling welled up in her heart.

I'm finally back!

Miss Skirt looked around the room, her eyes full of curiosity, and asked, "This is Anjie's home?"

Anjie nodded proudly and said, "Yes, not bad, right!"

Miss Skirt didn't speak, but continued to look around the room.

Flower Leaf and Flower Bud flew around the house, exploring it with equal curiosity.

Anjie strode to the balcony and saw from afar that Jolteon, Flareon, Vaporeon, and Umbreon were playing on the grass below.

Not far away, Alolan Meowth, Dewpi, and Weavile were chasing each other across the grass.

Ange took out a Poké Ball and threw it out. The next second, Latias, Latios, Komaru, Aegislash, Gardevoir, and Gallade appeared outside one after another.

"Everyone, we're back!"

"Waaah~"

"Sana~"

"Girl~"

……

The Pokémon, seeing the familiar surroundings, burst into enthusiastic cheers.

Latias and Latios flew straight off the balcony, eager to embrace the skies of the Nibel Plateau.

Gardevoir hugged Komaru and Gallade and ran downstairs together, eager to reunite with their friends.

Aegislash followed closely behind Ange, who laughed and said, "Why don't you go play too? We're home now, you don't need to follow me around anymore. Go show your friends your new evolved form!"

"Gil~" Aegislash hesitated for a moment, then nodded and happily flew off the balcony.

On the steps downstairs, Snorlax was sitting with its chin resting on its hands, gazing at the sky in a daze.

Its master has been gone for some time now, and it has been listless every day, eagerly anticipating its master's return.

Just then, Diancie walked over and teased the little Snorlax, "What's wrong? Thinking about your master again?"

Sitting here as a guardian stone every day has become a regular activity for Munchlax.

The little Snorlax turned its gaze away from the sky, obediently nodded to Diancie, and then asked:

"Gang~ Gang~" Don't you want to?

Hearing this, Diancie sighed deeply, then walked over to the little Snorlax and sat down next to it.

"Of course I want to...

So the two Pokémon just stared blankly at the sky.

Just then, two figures, one in blue and one in red, suddenly flashed past their line of sight.

Diancie said, "I was hallucinating. I think I just saw Latias and Latios."

The little Snorlax suddenly turned its head to look at Diancie.

"Just now," I saw it too.

Diancie was taken aback. "Not a hallucination?"

Immediately, the two Pokémon's faces lit up with immense joy. They jumped up and then turned and dashed into the house.

As soon as they entered the house, they saw Anjie leading Miss Skirt, Flower Leaf, and Flower Bud down from upstairs.

"Anjie!"

"Gang~" Master!

Diancie and Snorlax shouted in unison.

"Tianci, a little Snorlax!" Ange's face also showed surprise.

"Gah~~" The little Snorlax, like a small cannonball, rushed into Angie's arms and knocked him to the ground.

"Hahaha~~" Anjie laughed and hugged the little Snorlax.

"Gang~ Gang~" Master, Master, I miss you so much!

The little Snorlax kept rubbing its fluffy head against Ange's chest.

Anjie rubbed the back of the little Snorlax's head and said, "I miss you so much! I think about you every day, so much so that I can't even eat."

"Really?"

The little Snorlax looked up at Ange and asked.

"Really! Really!" Anjie nodded repeatedly. "Look, I've lost weight."

When the little Snorlax saw this, it really felt that its master had lost a lot of weight, so it touched Anja with a pained expression.

Anjax pinched Munchlax's belly and asked, "Mumplax, have you gotten fat again?"

(((Д;) The little Snorlax was stunned, then panicked and pinched its belly.

No, right? No, right?

Anjie deliberately spoke in a resentful tone, "So you're saying that you miss me, but it's all fake, right? Is it because you're eating and sleeping well every day that you've gained weight?"

Upon hearing this, the little Snorlax looked terrified.

No! No! I really miss my master every day! I miss him so much!

At this moment, Diancie chuckled, "Alright, stop teasing it. I can vouch for Munchlax; it thinks about you every day!"

"Gah~ Gah~" Upon hearing this, the little Snorlax nodded its head like a rattle drum.

Tianxi continued, "Every time it thinks of you, it eats ten bowls of rice. How could it not get fat!"

"Hahaha~~" An Jie laughed even louder upon hearing this.

"Gang~ Gang~" Master, you're bullying me!

The little Snorlax let go of Anja, pinched its chubby, round belly, and looked aggrieved.

Anjay hugged the little Snorlax's neck and rubbed her face against its cheek, "My little darling, you're so cute!"

Hearing its master praise it, the little Snorlax smiled shyly.

After cuddling with Munchlax, Ange looked up at Diancie, a gentle smile on her face, and said:

"I'm back, Diancie."

Tianxi also said to Ange in a gentle tone, "Welcome home, Ange."
