Chapter 42 The Light of Evolution

After taking stock of the spoils, Ange parted ways with Rakel. Lately, he hadn't been going to the palace much because he always ran into those ministers.

Because of his street vending, the ministers kept nagging him, trying to persuade him to give it up for the sake of the royal family's reputation. Some even wanted to marry their daughters to him, which was simply outrageous!

Why would they be so eager to marry off their daughter to a member of a leisurely royal family?

Anjie, holding the tree-pillowed koala, stood on the cableway and headed towards the city gate when he suddenly heard someone calling him from behind.

"Your Highness Anjie! Your Highness Anjie!"

Immediately afterwards, a motorcyclist appeared on the adjacent motorbike lane.

"Your Highness Anjie, please wait a moment," the man said, chasing after the cable.

Seeing this, Anjie stopped at the nearby parking spot, and the motorcyclist also stopped immediately.

"Who are you?" Anjie asked in confusion.

The man removed his helmet, revealing himself to be a somewhat fierce-looking middle-aged man. He introduced himself, saying, "Good afternoon, Prince Anjie. My name is Daoka, and I am Lord Jarvis's subordinate."

"Jarvis?" Angie frowned. "What do Jarvis's people want with me?"

Daoka said, "Your Highness, our master invites you to have a cup of coffee over there." He pointed to a coffee shop.

Anjie hesitated for a moment before agreeing, "Let's go."

"Yes!" said Daoka, leading the way.

Welcome!

Upon entering the coffee shop, Anjie immediately spotted Jarvis sitting by the window. As soon as Jarvis entered, he stood up with a smile to greet her.

"Your Highness Anjie!" he said enthusiastically. "I've wanted to speak with Your Highness alone for a long time, but I haven't been able to find the opportunity."

Anjie, seated opposite him at his invitation, asked with a puzzled look, "What could Minister Jarvis possibly have to talk to me about? I'm just a nobody who doesn't concern myself with state affairs. Do you really want to talk to me about how to set up a stall and do business?"

"Your Highness is too kind," Jarvis chuckled awkwardly, then suddenly sighed deeply and said, "Logically speaking, the throne of the Kingdom of Azot should belong to Your Highness!"

Huh? Is Jarvis hinting at something?

"You're joking. The throne belongs to Edward, and the heirs are Jimia and Rachel. What does that have to do with me? I just want to live a carefree life and don't want to work hard."

Angie's gaze towards Jarvis was strange; there was something fishy about this guy.

However, Jarvis only touched on the topic briefly and did not dwell on it further, instead turning to another subject.

"Does Your Highness know Magiana?" Jarvis asked.

"Of course, that's my sister's Pokémon. Wasn't it lost? It's not even certain if it's still alive now, after all, five hundred years have passed," Anja said.

"Your Highness really doesn't know Magiana's whereabouts? You are Queen Anna's own brother, and because Elifas awakened from five hundred years in the future, didn't they leave you even the slightest clue?" Jarvis pressed.

"No." Anjie shook her head decisively.

It really doesn't.

"Your Highness, please think about it again," Jarvis said reluctantly. "Magnia is crucial to the future prosperity of the Kingdom of Azot!"

An Jia shook her head again, "Really not!"

"Your Highness, don't you want to see Azot dominate the world?" Jarvis said excitedly. "The secret weapon left behind by Eliphas can definitely help Azot achieve this, as long as you and I find Magearna together!"

Anjie hadn't expected that Jarvis was such an ambitious man.

He said, "I think Azot is doing very well now. The people are prosperous, the country is thriving, peaceful and harmonious. To think that it would dominate the world is just a pipe dream!"

"It's possible! It's definitely possible! It's not some pipe dream, as long as we can find Magiana and activate the secret weapon left behind by Eliphas!" Jarvis's expression was somewhat frantic.

"Jarvis!" Angie called out to him.

Jarvis then realized his lapse in composure, so he composed himself and sat up straight again.

"I think Azot is fine as he is now and doesn't need to change," Anja said.

Jarvis's face immediately fell in disappointment. "Your Highness, I am utterly disappointed in you. You are a disgrace to your status!"

Anjie cursed inwardly: "Damn it, is this guy messing with me?! I still have to satisfy you, don't I?!"

He jumped up abruptly. "Jarvis, sorry, I have to go home. Goodbye!"

"Your Highness! Prince Ange!" Jarvis tried to call out to Ange, but Ange did not turn around.

As soon as Anjie left the coffee shop, she called Ji Meiya and told her about her meeting with Jarvis that day, reminding her to be wary of Jarvis.

After leaving the royal city, Anjie rode a dragon straight home.

As usual, the little Snorlax sat on the steps by the door waiting for Anjie to come home. As soon as Anjie arrived, it immediately jumped into Anjie's arms and acted cute.

"Alright, alright! You little clingy thing!" Anjie said, pinching its ear.

Anjay walked into the house and saw Kirlia and Gardevoir, so she greeted them with a smile.

During this time, Kirlia would come to the house to help every day, and after Gardevoir recovered, it often followed Kirlia.

Since Angelie was fully accepted by the Pokémon on the plateau, the number of Pokémon coming to the shop to eat every day has been increasing. Thanks to Kirlia and Gardevoir for their help, Diancie alone would really be too busy.

Just the hygiene aspect alone kept Tianxi extremely busy.

Gardevoir and Kirlia are Psychic-type Pokémon, and with their help, Diancie only needs to keep her direction in order, making things very easy.

"Thank you for your hard work during this time," Anjie said gratefully to the couple.

"Sanai~Sanai~~"

"Chiru~ Chiru~"

The couple waved their hands repeatedly, saying that compared to Anjie's help to them, what they had done was nothing at all.

Moreover, since they've been helping out here, they get to eat at the shop every morning and noon; they should be the ones benefiting.

Seeing that Anjie had returned, and that the work at the shop was almost finished, the couple, holding their baby, prepared to say goodbye.

Just then, Angel called out to Kirlia, "Wait, Kirlia, do you want to evolve?"

Kirlia looked at Ange in confusion. Its level wasn't high enough, so it couldn't evolve even if it wanted to.

However, it has recently sensed the urge to evolve, so its level must be about right.

Seeing Kirlia's confusion, Angel took out her phone and showed it a picture of Gallade. "I didn't mean to evolve into Gardevoir, I meant to evolve into Gallade."

Kirlia's eyes lit up when it saw Gallade's picture. It clearly preferred the handsome Gallade to Gardevoir.

"Chiru~ Chiru~"

Kirlia tilted her head to look at Angel, but how could she evolve into Gallade?

Anjie smiled and said, "All I need is the Awakening Stone." He then flipped his hand, and a crystal-clear blue stone appeared in his palm—the Awakening Stone.

He bought this Awakening Stone when he passed by the Pokémon Shop today as a thank-you gift for Kirlia. It cost him 30,000 yen, which was quite expensive.

However, he doesn't lack 30,000 yuan now.

Ange didn't tell Kirlia that he bought it with his own money, so as not to make it feel guilty. He only said that someone else gave it to him, and since he didn't need it, he gave it to Kirlia.

Kirlia readily accepted the offer and eagerly reached for the Awakening Stone.

The moment the two touched, a blue-white light shone, extending along Kirlia's arm until it enveloped her entire body.

In the blue and white light, Kirlia's height gradually increased, from less than 1 meter to more than 1.5 meters.

When the blue and white light faded, a brand new Pokémon appeared before everyone.

This Pokémon is green on top and white on the bottom, wearing a helmet and crown, with a slender waist, rounded buttocks, thick and powerful thighs, and sharp, retractable blades on its arms.

It was the handsome Gallade.

"Congratulations, Gallade." Angel smiled and congratulated Gallade, while Gallade's data appeared in his eyes.

Gallade's IVs are among the best of the wild Pokémon that Angel has seen, but its Special Defense is severely lacking.

He then looked at Gardevoir.

Gardevoir's level is higher than Gallade's, otherwise it wouldn't have evolved first.

After evolving, Gallade lowered its head and raised its hands, curiously examining its new form. Diancie and Snorlax also came forward to offer their congratulations.

Only the tree-pillow koala rolled over, said nothing, and snored twice.

"Sanai~Sanai~"

"Ailu~ Ailu~"

Gallade and Gardevoir sincerely thanked Ange.

Anjie then saw the couple out the door.

After lunch, Anjie went to inspect her vegetable garden again.

Under the care of the three gopher brothers, the vegetable garden grew more and more thriving.

During this time, with the help of the three gopher brothers, Anjie expanded the vegetable garden by a few acres and replanted some new vegetables.

After inspecting the vegetable garden, Anjie went to the pond to visit the mudskippers and the catfish king. The two brothers were half-dragged in the water and half-lying on the bank, sunbathing.

Along with them were two black pufferfish, who were also lazily basking in the sun on the now-wide lotus leaves.

The lotus leaves swayed gently in the breeze, like a cradle. Two black catfish with their eyes closed opened and closed their mouths, making soft purring sounds. They were incredibly cute.

Although the two pufferfish did not make their home in Anjie's pond, Anjie could see them every time he came to visit the mud loach and catfish king brothers.

To avoid disturbing them, Anjie glanced at them briefly and then tiptoed away.

Back in the vegetable garden, Anjie picked a basket full of greens, tomatoes, cucumbers and other vegetables.

After he finished speaking, he said to the three gopher brothers, "I'm leaving the vegetable garden in your care. You can eat as many of the vegetables as you like."

Actually, the three gopher brothers don't eat much; they can't eat much in one meal.

"Drumming~~"

"Drumming~~"

The three mole brothers nodded and watched Anjie leave with the basket.

What was Anjie going to do with this basket of vegetables? Eat them himself? Of course not, he was going to use them to build rapport with his goats.

His mission hasn't progressed yet; two of the three tasks require the help of his goat mount to complete.

For the past ten days or so, Anjie has been wandering around his goat mount almost every day.

Carrying her shopping basket home, Anjay called out to Munchlax, "Mumplax, time to go!"

"Here it comes! Here it comes!"

Upon hearing this, the little Snorlax dashed out.

Tianxi followed closely behind, saying, "Hey, come back early! Don't stay out too late again!"

Every time Angel and Munchlax go to see their mount Goat and the others, they play with the Pokémon on the way home and don't return until it gets dark. Diancie has told them to stop several times, but it hasn't worked.

"G- ...

"Okay, okay, you busybody!"

Anja and Munchlax ran away laughing. Munchlax didn't dare to bark like that in front of Diancie. It would bark especially loudly at this time, and then get punished by Diancie when it got home.

Anjie always laughed heartily while watching it.

The little Snorlax often complains, "Why is it okay when Master calls, but when it calls, it gets scolded?"

Diancie: Your master pays me a salary, so do you pay me a salary too?

Snorlax: ...

With more money being earned recently, Ange has started paying his Pokémon more.

Snorlax is easily distracted by other things. If it sees a flower on the road, it will go over and smell it; if it sees a Digger Rabbit, it will whisper to it; if it sees a Finch flying in the sky, it will keep making noise until the person sees it and responds to it before it stops.

So Anjie and it walked for quite a while before they reached the habitat of the mountain goats.

The largest area on the Nibel Plateau is the vast, lush grassland, which is why the most numerous Pokémon living there are the Mount Goat and Mount Lamb, which feed on grass.

On the flat grassland, the goats were either grazing with their heads down, resting on the ground, or cuddling in pairs. The little goats were happily frolicking and rolling around on the grass, creating a peaceful scene.

"Everyone, I'm back again!"

Angie put the basket on the ground and called out to her goat and her lambs.
