Chapter 313 The Transformer

After finding Babu Tubo, Anjie finally felt relieved.

He checked the time and realized it was already noon, so he said, "Let's have lunch first, and then we can look for a way out."

"Babu~" Babu the groundhog immediately got excited when he heard about lunch.

Anjay found a clearing in the forest, then took out a Poké Ball and released Aegislash and Komamori.

Then he took out a table, chairs, cooking utensils, ingredients, seasonings, and other items.

Seeing this, Miss Skirt and the others rushed forward to help, setting up the table and arranging the ingredients. Except for Sleepy Mushroom, who had just joined, no one was idle.

Anjie shouted to Babu Tubo, "Babu Tubo, wash the rice for me!"

"Babu~" Babu responded and immediately got to work.

Babu Tubo has been with Anjie for so long, so even if he can't do anything else, he can still wash rice without any problems.

Turning her gaze away from Babu Tubo, Anjie began to cook.

Because he was out and about, he was too lazy to do anything, so he just thought of making a few simple dishes.

The first dish he made was cold bean sprout salad. He had prepared the bean sprouts from the day before he set off, and he packed some in his backpack.

For the second dish, I made steamed cod. Recently, the cod at my family's fish farm has had a bumper harvest, and Anjie sent a lot to the royal kitchen, but there are still many left.

Fortunately, there are many Pokémon in the house that like to eat fish, especially Water-type Pokémon.

Finally, make a fragrant mushroom, tofu, and fish ball soup.

With so much fish at home that they couldn't finish it all, Anjie made a lot of fish balls and stored them in her backpack for later use.

Moreover, fish balls are delicious and can be prepared in many ways, so you'll never get tired of them.

Anje also sent a lot of fish balls to Papa, who was far away in the Padiya region.

Once she decided what to do, Anjie got busy.

He first said to the Aegislash, "Aegislash, could you please process this fish for me?"

"Gil~" The Aegislash nodded, then picked up the fish and began to process it, gutting it, scaling it and cleaning it with practiced ease.

Miss Skirt started helping without Anjie even asking.

Just as Anjie finished preparing the dressing for the cold bean sprouts, Miss Qun'er handed over the washed bean sprouts.

"Thank you!" Anjie smiled and thanked it. After taking the bean sprouts, she blanched them, took them out, cooled them, and drained them in one go.

Next, heat the pan and sauté the scallions, ginger, and garlic until fragrant.

Making cold bean sprout salad is simple, and Anjie finished it in no time.

Next, Anjie planned to start cooking the soup.

He put the pot on the stove and started heating it, then asked Miss Qun'er to watch the fire while he went to cook the fish.

Just then, the Aegislash finished processing the fish.

Before steaming, the fish needs to be marinated, so Anjie started chopping ginger and scallions.

In the quiet forest, only Anjie and his group were bustling with activity. They chatted while working, and the newly joined Sleepy Mushroom quickly integrated into the group.

Since it couldn't work, it sat on the edge of the table alongside Flower Leaf and Flower Bud, shaking its head and cheering on Anjie and the others.

"Whoosh~ Whoosh~ Whoosh~"

"Rabe~ Rabe~ Rabe~"

"Nema~ Nema~ Swoosh~"

Clang, clang, clang~~ As Anjie chopped vegetables, the sound of the knife hitting the cutting board was very rhythmic, and the bodies of the sleeping mushrooms swayed along with the sound.

However, no one knew when, the sound suddenly turned into a duet.

After Anjie finished chopping the vegetables, she suddenly realized something was wrong.

He turned his head and saw a person who looked exactly like him standing next to him, chopping vegetables with a knife just like him.

He chopped it haphazardly, scattering bits of scallions and ginger all over the table.

Anjie was really startled and almost threw the kitchen knife in his hand. Fortunately, he was still rational and only took a few steps back in fright.

Unexpectedly, that person also took a step back, and even their expression and movements were exactly the same as An Jie's.

"Who are you?" Anjie questioned the other party.

The other person tried to speak like An Jie, but what they said was, "Mo~ Mo~ Mo~".

Anjie: ...

Alright, that sound must be from a Pokémon!

"What kind of Pokémon are you? Change back right now, or I'll get rough!" Angie said, pointing at the other Pokémon.

Upon seeing this, Babu the Groundhog, Miss Skirt, and the Shield-Sword Monster immediately stepped forward and surrounded him.

Upon seeing this, the other party was immediately terrified and trembled. With a flash of light, it... no, it should be said that it, returned to its original form.

Looking at the soft, bouncy little guy in front of him, Anjie suddenly realized that it was a Ditto!

Ditto is a rare Pokémon, and Ange never expected to encounter it here.

The key point is that the Ditto in front of us is a Shiny color.

Regular Ditto is purple, while Shiny Ditto is blue.

Just as everyone was surprised to see Ditto, Ditto suddenly transformed, turning into a Sleepy Mushroom in the blink of an eye.

It ran up to Anjie's Sleepy Mushroom, knocked it over, and the two Sleepy Mushrooms hugged each other and rolled around on the ground a few times. Everyone immediately couldn't tell which one was the real Sleepy Mushroom.

Anjie looked surprised: What an amazing transformation, it's exactly the same.

However, this did not stump Anjie. As long as he activated his Eye of Observation, he could immediately tell who was Sleepy Mushroom and who was Ditto.

So he pointed to the Sleepy Mushroom on the left and said, "You're a Ditto!"

Anjie's confident tone surprised the sleeping mushroom, but it quickly became unconvinced.

Then, its body flashed with light again, and in the blink of an eye, it transformed into a yellow flower called Hua Beibei.

After this flower bee flew around the three flower bees for a while, everyone started to lose track of which one was the real yellow flower bee.

"Whoosh~ Whoosh~" I really mean it!

"Whoosh~ Whoosh~" I'm the real one!

Two yellow flower buds, necks scraggly, were arguing incessantly.

The Shapeshifter couldn't imitate Anjie's voice, but it could perfectly mimic the voices of Sleepy Mushroom and Flower Belle.

Anjie's head was throbbing from their noise, so she yelled, "Okay, stop it!"

The two flower buds immediately quieted down.

Anjie pointed to the right and said, "You're Ditto!"

Hua Beibei immediately looked shocked, her face clearly saying: How did you know?

It was still unconvinced; its transformation had never been detected before!

To prove itself, Ditto transformed into Flowerleaf, Skirt, Aegislash, and Koala in succession, but without exception, Angel recognized them all at a glance.

Nothing has changed. Ditto lay limply on the grass, panting heavily.

Transforming frequently is physically demanding for it; its level is too low, so it can't transform too many times.

(Note: In this game, when Ditto transforms, its base stats and moves become the same as the transformed target, but its level remains the same. Otherwise, it would be too overpowered for Ditto to level up all the time it has worked so hard to achieve.)

Looking at the Ditto in front of him, Anjie suddenly had an idea.

Ditto can transform into anything, even mimicking its opponents' abilities. Could it mimic its own waveguide?

If possible, wouldn't Ditto be the most suitable Pokémon to help him?

Anjie thought to herself: As long as I teach all my cooking skills to Ditto, Ditto could very well become another version of myself!

Hehehe~ I'm so smart!

Sensing Anjie's eager gaze, Ditto shuddered: What do you want to do?

At this moment, Anjie saw the data of Ditto in front of him.

Variety

[Attribute] General

[Characteristic] Transformer

[Gender] None

[Level] 12

[Skill] Transformation

Individual Value

Blood volume: 20

Attack: 19

Physical defense: 22

Special Attack: 24

Special Defense: 28

Speed: 30

Overall, the stats are so-so, but it's Ditto, so everything else is secondary. As long as it has the Transformer trait and the Transform skill, that's enough.

Anjie walked up to Ditto, squatted down, and asked with a smile, "Ditto, you're so powerful, you must be able to transform into anything, right?"

Upon hearing this, Ditto immediately perked up, his face full of pride.

"Momo~" Of course!

Anjie placed his hand on its head, then transmitted a waveguide to it and asked, "Try to conjure this up!"

Ditto carefully sensed for a while, then confidently put his hands on his hips.

"Momo~" No problem at all!

As soon as it finished speaking, its body flashed and transformed back into Anjie's appearance.

Anjie carefully examined the other side, and it really was exactly the same; there wasn't a single difference.

It's just looking at myself...it's quite strange...it feels completely different from looking in a mirror.

"Momo~" Ditto shouted, then struck out with its palm, and an invisible energy wave spread out from it.

It's a waveguide!

Anjie's eyes lit up with surprise.

As expected of Ditto, it can even transform into a waveguide!

"Momo~ Momo~" You saw that, right?

Ditto proudly put his hands on his hips.

"Amazing! Absolutely amazing!" Anjie gave Ditto a thumbs-up, showering it with praise. "I've never seen such an incredible transformation!"

The main reason is that he hasn't seen any other Dittos.

"Momo~ Momo~" Ditto was so pleased with Anjie's praise that his nose almost reached the sky.

Instead of immediately proposing to capture Ditto, Ange extended an invitation to it.

"Well...you amazing Ditto, would you like to have lunch with us?"

Just then, Ditto's stomach started growling.

At the same time, the aroma of freshly cooked rice wafted over, and Ditto sniffed and nodded slightly.

"Babu~ Babu~"

Babu the Marmot was puzzled. It walked over to Anjie, grabbed Anjie's trouser leg, and asked with a puzzled look: Why are you inviting this guy to dinner?

"You don't understand!" Angie patted Babutop's head with a smile, then said to Ditto, "Ditto, you play with Flappy and the others for a while. I still need to continue cooking. It'll be ready soon."

"Momo~" Ditto nodded, and then its body flashed with light, transforming into the appearance of Flowerbee. It quickly started playing with Flowerleaf, Flowerbee, and Sleepy Mushroom.

That's the good thing about Ditto; you can transform into whoever you want, which can quickly shorten the distance between you and others.

Babu Tubo was a little annoyed and sat on the stool with his legs crossed.

When Ditto, who was playing with Flower Leaf and the others, saw this, it instantly transformed into a Groundhog, quickly ran to Groundhog, and pulled Groundhog off the stool.

"Babu~ Babu~" What are you doing?!

Babu Tubo shouted angrily.

"Babu~ Babu~" Let's play together, let's play together!

The ever-changing monster said with a grin.

Although Babubo was reluctant, it was soon infected by Ditto's enthusiasm and started chasing and playing with Ditto, Flappy, and Flappy on the grass.

Meanwhile, on Anjie's side, as time went by, a rich aroma began to permeate the air.

The Babu Tubo, already very hungry, stopped playing as soon as they smelled the aroma. They lined up in a row, drooling, and stared intently at Anjie.

Anjie turned around and saw their comical appearance, so he smiled and said, "Go sit down, it's time to eat."

"Babu~"

"Momo~"

"Whoosh~"

……

The Pokémon cheered and ran to the table to sit obediently.

Babubo didn't forget to lift the Sleepy Mushroom, which couldn't reach the table, onto it, while Aegislash used its ribbons to pick up the Tree Pillow Koala.

Then Angel and Miss Skirt brought the food to the table and served each Pokémon a generous amount of rice.

Anjax smiled as he watched the Pokémon feast.

"Is it delicious, Ditto?"

"Momo~ Momo~" It's delicious, so delicious!

Ditto answered without looking up.

"So, would you like to be able to eat delicious food every day from now on?" Anjie continued to ask.

"Momo?" Ditto looked up in confusion.

Anjie continued, "You can join us! I'll not only cook delicious meals for you every day, but I can also teach you how to cook them!"

Upon hearing this, Ditto's eyes immediately lit up.

"Momo~ Momo~" I'm in! I'm in!

With the "abduction" successful, Anjie's face broke into a bright smile. "Then please guide me from now on!"

"Momo~ Momo~" Please give me your guidance!

The Ditto head lowered its head and continued eating, so easily entrusting itself to the other side.

Anjie pushed the food towards the Ditto, "Eat more, don't be shy, there's plenty more."

As he spoke, he picked up another piece of food with his chopsticks and put it on the plate in front of Sleepy Mushroom, "Sleepy Mushroom, eat as much as you like."

"Nai Ma Xiu~" Sleepy Mushroom nodded obediently, her little mouth bulging with food.

As Ange and his friends were eating, they suddenly noticed that many Pokémon in the forest were attracted by the aroma of the food and gathered around.

Pinkish fragrance, fluffy cream puffs, little wood spirits, bluffing demons, Tibbers...

Anjie hesitated for a moment before asking, "Do you all want to eat together?"

Upon hearing this, the Pokémon that had been peeking out quietly all jumped out of the bushes.

So Angel took out a plate and placed it on the grass, filling each Pokémon with a plate full of food.

Finally, because there wasn't enough food, he quickly made some more.

However, what Ange didn't know was that a Pokémon was secretly observing it, and the Pokémon following beside it was none other than the Ponyta that had once led the way for him.

After lunch, Anjie and his group began searching for the route back to the navigation.

The environment of the Mystic Forest is too complicated. The dim light and the layers of forest make it impossible to find your way around.
